In the Yunxiao Mountains with a radius of thousands of miles, there are a total of nineteen peaks that are named Tianzi. These mountain peaks all have fourth-order spiritual veins, scattered around the mountain range, like nineteen bright stars, surrounding the huge Yunxiao Mountain like stars arching over the moon.
Among them, Tianlu Peak is the most special.
There are two special features about it.
First, it is the shortest. The other Tianzihao peaks must be over 1,000 feet tall, but this peak is only 770 feet tall. Whenever fog gathers in Yunxiao Mountain, this peak is always under the sea of clouds, vast and invisible, so many outsiders don't know that Yunxiao Sect has such a fourth-level spiritual vein.
Second, it is the ugliest. Which of the mountain peaks where practitioners live is not full of greenery, full of scenery, and like a fairyland? Only this mountain has a fourth-level fire spiritual vein and earth fire lava underneath. Therefore, the entire mountain is full of dark black rocks, or there are dark red flames erupting. There is almost no grass growing, and it is as bare as if it has been disfigured. woman.
Although such an environment is suitable for the practice of some fire monks and can also be used to refine elixirs and weapons, it is not a safe place to live after all, so the sect moved a hill of only three hundred feet nearby.
After several generations of management, this mountain named Xianglu Peak is full of waterfalls, springs, green trees and red flowers, and is no less popular than other famous mountains and rivers. Therefore, most of the courtyards of the Alchemy Academy were built in various places on the mountain peaks for the elders and disciples to live and practice.
Peiyuan Hall is located at the foot of Xianglu Peak. This majestic and glorious hall covers an area of thirty acres and is more than ten feet high. The space inside the hall is quite large.
Through a special formation, the earth fire was brought from Tianlu Peak, and twenty fire outlets in each row, totaling five rows, were built in the center of the hall for the purpose of refining alchemy. Stands, tables and chairs, as well as high platforms, main seats and other facilities are also arranged around.
At the entrance of the palace gate, there is a stone drum with a large word "ji" written in the middle and some detailed rules on the back.
This is the tradition of Alchemy Academy. All alchemy apprentices, whether they are sect disciples or casual cultivators, if they feel they can refine the best elixirs, they can come here at any time to beat the stone drum and refine elixirs on the spot.
If successful, you can enter the Alchemy Academy and become an observing disciple. You will observe and study in the Alchemy Academy for three years, just like those advanced students in Yang Zhen's previous life.
If you are already a sect disciple, you have a great chance of being spotted by the master of the Alchemy Academy and directly recruited as an inner sect disciple.
However, it is not easy for casual cultivators to enter the Yunxiao Sect Alchemy Academy. Permission can only be obtained at certain times.
For example, the fifth day of May.
This is the day when the Alchemy Academy selects and assesses alchemy disciples every year. All Yunxiao Sect disciples who have achieved excellent results in the alchemy course final exam can take the exam on this day.
In addition, almost every state and county in Xu State has an alchemist association. This association is nominally organized freely by alchemists, but is actually controlled by the Alchemy Institute. If these associations find apprentices with alchemy talents, they will also recommend them to come to the sect to participate in the selection.
If they pass, they can become observation disciples, and if there are those who have outstanding performance or are extremely lucky and are favored by an elder, it is not impossible to directly recruit them as disciples of the sect.
…
Today is the fifth day of May.
Just after Chen hour, the palace door opened, and many monks who couldn't wait were already pouring in. Half a quarter of an hour later, the flow of people gradually became sparse, but there was always a steady stream of people coming here through the teleportation array and then entering the main hall.
Some of these people were monks who came to take the exam. After registering, they will go directly to the center of the hall, find their seats according to the number plate, and sit down, waiting for the assessment to begin.
Most of them came to see the excitement, and some even traveled thousands of miles from various states and counties to visit. These people, except for the assessment disciples who can bring three relatives and friends for free, the others need to spend five contribution points or fifteen spiritual stones to purchase tickets before they can enter the venue to watch.
Of course, among the assessment disciples, except for those who excel in the final exam that year, all other disciples, whether they are sect disciples or casual cultivators, need to pay one hundred contribution points or three hundred spirit stones as the registration fee.
These scattered charges only add up to 10,000 contribution points, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. The Alchemy Academy is so big, there are also many places to spend money.
After more than half an hour, the door of the palace was opened wide, and a middle-aged monk dressed as a scribe, followed by a group of disciples in white, were filing in.
The monk looked cold and walked directly towards the high platform without squinting his eyes. Erqing had already stood in the middle of the high platform, and the group of disciples stood in two rows behind him, about twenty people in total.
This person is Xiao Qiqiao, Dai Chenghong's true disciple. He comes to preside over the selection examination every year to show that the Alchemy Institute attaches great importance to this matter.
Among the following disciples, if Yang Zhen were here, he would definitely find two of his acquaintances among them. One is Yin Nanxing, and the other is Senior Brother Jiang who presided over his exam three months ago.
Xiao Qiqiao glanced around and saw that all the hundred monks taking part in the examination had arrived, and almost 90% of the two thousand auditorium had come. He coughed lightly and began to announce the various regulations of the examination.
First of all, the content of the assessment is to refine the Peiyuan Pill.
Almost everyone knows this rule. The annual assessment of the Alchemy Academy has this topic, and even Peiyuan Hall is named after it, for this reason.
Peiyuan Dan has the effect of removing impurities from the body and clearing meridians. It is often used by monks in the middle stage of Qi training to break through the realm in the later stages.
As mentioned before, the quickest and safe way to break through in the mid-term and late stages is to enter the Black Wind Valley, and the most troublesome way is to take the Barrier-Breaking Pill.
Peiyuan Dan is in between the two. Because it has the characteristics of removing impurities, it has less trouble in the future. Therefore, it is very popular among family monks or those disciples of sects who cannot make up enough contribution points.
When Zhao Li reached the late stage of his breakthrough, he took this elixir and achieved success in one fell swoop.
However, the shortcomings of this elixir are also obvious.
The first is that it takes a long time, requiring the monk to have at least four or five years of accumulation and polishing in the mid-term before he can take it. Although this can save half or even more time, for many monks, it is still too long.
The second is that although the consequences are few, they still exist. The monks who make breakthroughs with this elixir will need to continue to remove impurities for a long time in the future, otherwise their foundation will be unstable.
Of course, this is also related to the quality of the elixir. A bottle of fifteen spirit stones like the one Zhao Li bought at that time was just of low quality and would retain quite a lot of impurities in the body.
If it is of medium or high quality, there will be much less impurities, and the monks can save more time.
What if it’s the best?
Almost no impurities!
The effect is even better than entering the Black Wind Valley!
Therefore, the best Peiyuan Dan can only be found in the market but cannot be found. Of course, the Alchemy Academy must recruit monks who can refine this kind of elixir as a disciple and win over them!
"Pui Yuan Dan, three pills can be made in one furnace," Xiao Qiqiao said loudly, "If all three pills are top-grade, the test is passed!"
"If the total number of top-ranking students is less than thirty, our school will recruit some of the best students to make up the number of thirty."
"Of course -" he looked at the disciples taking the test in the audience and said with a smile: "If all of you here can refine the best, even if you only have one, you will pass!"
After saying that, he looked at the clepsydra and saw that it was almost time, so he waved his hand and shouted:
"start!"
Following this shout, a hundred fire outlets instantly ignited into flames.
Just as the monks took out the spiritual herbs from the storage bags provided by the Alchemy Academy and began to work, they saw a young man walking in at the door of the palace.
The morning sun shot into the hall from behind him, lengthening his figure and making his face dark and blurry.
Xiao Qiqiao frowned and was about to be scolded when he saw the young man striding to the stone drum and picking up the drumstick.
"Dong dong dong——"
The dull sound of drums resounded throughout the hall!
