Thinking of something, she shivered and opened the storage bag, her heart pounding. There was a whole small bag of high-grade spiritual stones, worth at least several hundred yuan!
She stuffed the fallen spirit stones back into her storage bag, and was about to get up and run back, but stopped again.
Since the man in black robe dared to let her do this, he was not afraid of her taking the money and absconding. The most important thing was that she saw her own shadow reflected in the puddle in front of her. The outline was blurry and thick. It was definitely not hers alone. .
She bit her lower lip and made a quick decision. She squatted down, picked up the note on the ground and stuffed it back into her storage bag. She continued to run forward. From the corner of her eye, she vaguely saw the word "Shu" in the crease of the note.
Flustered in her heart, Qian Xiaoshui didn't think too much about it. As long as she thought of herself holding a bag of high-grade spiritual stones, her legs would feel soft and her feet would feel as if they were stepping on cotton.
Qingzhou Mansion is a small city near Qingyang City. Because it is close to Qingyang City, there are many monks coming and going, and it is very prosperous. There are even more monks coming from Qingzhou Mansion to Qingyang City every day.
Night had just fallen when Qian Xiaoshui arrived at Qingyang City. Carrying her storage bag, she carefully arrived at the back door of Zuixianju.
Unlike the bustle at the front door, there was almost no one at the back door, and because there was a huge banyan tree planted there, the place looked eerie no matter day or night.
Qian Xiaoshui took a deep breath and squatted down in a narrow alley opposite. She tried her best to empty herself and not think about the storage bag in her arms.
However, the bag of shining spirit stones seemed to be engraved in her mind, turning into a ball of fire that burned her heart, making her want to jump up and run away with the spirit stones.
She took a deep breath, controlled her thoughts, and thought about the overlapping shadows in the puddle just now, her brother who was convulsing in pain on the bed, and her brother who returned home injured every day.
Finally, the worry about her brother made her suppress the greed in her heart. The time was extremely long. Qian Xiaoshui had never felt that time had been so long. In just a few hours, it seemed like a lifetime.
Finally at three o'clock in the afternoon, she walked out of the narrow alley and came to the back door of Zuixianju. The huge water green banyan tree spread its teeth and claws, casting a ferocious black shadow on the ground. There was no one around, it was quiet.
She hurriedly came under the tree, found the wall facing the big tree, and knocked three times as instructed. After a while, the wall rippled like water waves. She placed the storage bag on the water pattern formation, and the water waves turned into whirlpools. Vacuum the storage bag away.
Watching the storage bag disappear, her heart ached. With so many high-grade spiritual stones, just one piece could buy as many detoxifying pills, Qi-condensing pills, and even foundation-building pills.
She thought about the overlapping shadows in the puddle again. The man in black robe could not see the cultivation level, and her heartache was less. No matter how many spiritual stones there are, you have to have that life to enjoy it.
After waiting for a cup of tea, the rippling water patterns on the wall spit out a piece of exquisite letterhead. There was only the word "night" on it. The handwriting was regular and featureless.
Qian Xiaoshui breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the letter and left quickly without looking back.
Returning to my home in Qingzhou Prefecture again, the heavy rain has stopped, the waning moon is setting in the west, and the sky is about to dawn.
The man in black robe was standing in front of the bed. Qian Xiaoshui's heart was in his throat and he quickly stretched his neck to look at the bed.
The young man on the bed had stopped twitching, and the blush on his face was quickly dissipating. She came to the bedside in a few steps and respectfully handed over the letter.
The man in black robe did not answer it. His narrow phoenix eyes glanced at the words on the letter. A cluster of flames appeared on his fingertips, and he rushed over to burn the letter.
Qian Xiaoshui was stunned. She didn't react until the fire had burned her fingers. She quickly threw away the letter and let it be completely devoured by the flames and burned to ashes.
She turned her head to look at Qian Xiaofeng on the bed and reached out to touch his forehead. Sure enough, the high fever that could not be lowered had subsided.
"My brother's poison has been cured?" She confirmed carefully.
The man in black robe nodded and handed her the negotiated jade bottle. His eyes stayed on her face for a moment and said: "If you want to survive, completely forget what happened tonight and leave here quickly."
Qian Xiaoshui's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She realized that what she had just done was more unusual than she thought. When she looked up again, the man in black robe was no longer in the room.
-------------
The early morning sun penetrates the thin clouds and shines on the earth, and the much-anticipated Alchemy Examination begins!
The assessment location was located in a square in the west of Hengyue City. When Yunli arrived with everyone from the four major sects, the square was already crowded with people. Looking around, the scene was very spectacular.
To the east, there is a huge high platform suspended in the air. The seniors on the high platform have four gorgeous chairs, which are the positions of the chief judges of this assessment. One Nascent Soul stage alchemist from each of the four major sects serves as the chief examiner. In addition, there are also a number of alchemists who serve as judges.
In the center of the square, there are tofu blocks, divided into square grids. In the depressions in the middle of the grids, there are red-hot earth fires. This is because alchemists in the Qi training and foundation building stages do not have elixir fire and fire spiritual power. The temperature is unstable, which affects the effect of pill formation.
On the east side of the grid, there are long tables and tables, but now they are empty.
At this moment, Yunli suddenly felt hungry. She set up a pot and placed beef, mutton, tripe, duck intestines, duck blood, shrimp balls, mushrooms, yuba, lotus root slices, Chinese cabbage, etc. on the table. After a while, the delicious hot pot is ready to be eaten.
Seeing that her eyes were gradually getting weird, and her eyes looking at the assessment area were actually gleaming with green light, Mu Yan quickly raised her elbow and bumped her, saying: "We are going over there to prepare, you quickly find a seat."
Yunli looked away and encouraged: "Well, work hard, don't be nervous, just be normal."
After saying that, she turned to An Ran and the others beside her and said, "Senior Sister An, Senior Sister Lin, fellow senior brothers and sisters, Yunli is here, I wish you all success!"
After congratulating all the alchemists of Taiyi Sect, she ran up to Master Danyang in front and said diligently: "Uncle Master, let me help you look after Xiao Cangjie."
They analyzed it last night and found that apart from Jinfang Zhenjun and Shuyin Zhenjun from Tianxin Pavilion, Danyang Zhenren from their Taiyi Sect was the most likely candidate to win this time.
There are very few Nascent Soul alchemists among the monks participating this time. There are fewer Nascent Soul alchemists than other monks. Many of them have participated in the election in the past years. Except for the two true monarchs of Tianxin Pavilion, there are only two Nascent Soul alchemists this time. An alchemist from the Danxia sect is in the Nascent Soul stage.
They are all newly promoted Nascent Soul True Lords, and their cultivation level is not much different from that of True Lord Danyang in the later stage of Jindan. At least the gap in alchemy is not so big that it cannot be bridged.
Master Danyang is also obsessed with alchemy. He has studied for many years and has accumulated a lot of experience. He still has a high hope of winning the first prize.
If he really wins the championship, they will have a greater chance of getting the Nine-Layer Tower, or at least have a deeper understanding.
Refining elixirs requires meditation and cannot tolerate any interference. The little black chicken, a spiritual pet that is non-stop and arrogant, must have worried Master Danyang for a long time. Now that he is taking the initiative to be considerate, Master Danyang must have a very good impression of him.
Although she hasn't thought about it yet, if Master Danyang really wins the championship, how she will trick him into giving up other rare treasures and choosing Jiuzhonglou. She has also not thought about how she will get the spiritual plant when it is in the hands of Master Danyang. However, it is always right to get close and build a good relationship first.
Master Danyang looked at her, then looked down at the spiritual pet bag, "Master Nephew Yun is enthusiastic. In seven days, the Cangjie will be handed over to you."
Cangjie never liked being in the spiritual pet bag. She had taken care of Cangjie for more than a year. It couldn't be better than leaving it to her.
"Seven days?" Yunli was confused for a moment, "Uncle, aren't you going to take the test today?"
Master Danyang was stunned by her question, and after a while he said: "Girl, since you are here to take the alchemy test, even if you don't take the test yourself, you should understand the rules well."
Yunli smiled awkwardly, shouldn't we take the exam together?
Before coming to Tianxin Pavilion, she was focused on entering the medicine garden to find medicinal materials. She just came out of the medicine garden yesterday and had been discussing it all day. Her mind was on how to get to the Jiuzhonglou. She had never learned about the assessment rules. .
Seeing that she was taking care of Cangjie, and now he did not need to participate in the assessment, Master Danyang patiently explained to her: "This alchemist level must be passed one level at a time. Only those who have obtained the previous level can be qualified. Participate in the assessment of the next level. Those like junior sisters who have never participated in the Alchemy Assessment must start from the initial identification of spiritual plants."
Yunli was even more confused when he said that, generally speaking, anyone who could refine low-grade yellow-level elixirs was a first-grade alchemist.
Like my cousin, she can now refine earth-level middle-grade elixirs. She is supposed to be an eighth-grade alchemist. Why should she start the test by identifying spiritual plants?
