"Thank you, brother, thank you, sect leader!"
A smile finally appeared on Qin Xiao's face.
Immediately, Huang Zongzhi left the three elders and a small number of Qin women behind, and everyone else set out on the road, heading straight for Xiling City.
The so-called Xiling City is located between Huangzong and Bayue Mountain.
It is one of the two most prosperous cities within a radius of thousands of miles. The other one is on the other side of the Tianyuan Basin and is called Dongling City.
This time, it was Xiling City's turn to host the rookie competition among the four major sects, so it was very close from the Huang Sect and it only took half a day to get here.
"Wow, is this the legendary Xiling City? It's so big!"
And when everyone stood under Xiling City, all the Qin monks couldn't help but take a breath.
This Xiling City covers an area of eighty miles. The city wall is as high as a mountain, shrouded in a strong barrier of light, shining brightly on the earth. To ordinary warriors, it is like a fairy city!
Qin Chong was calm, because he had seen many giant cities dozens of times larger than Xiling City. Of course, this place was still huge compared to Rong City.
However, the outside of Xiling City is extremely lively now. Not only the monks from other sects have arrived, but also the rookie competition of the four major sects is a grand event held every three years. Many warriors and families from the surrounding cities have gathered here, wanting to see it. The sect's rising star's style.
"Enter the city!"
Su Jiuyou led everyone into the city, and as soon as they entered the city, they attracted many eyes.
Because Huang Zong chose to abstain from the competition in the first two rookies, this time they were surprised to bring so many monks into Xiling City.
"Haha, it's nothing surprising. Haven't you heard that the Huang Sect has included the entire Qin clan in Rongcheng into the sect, that's why there are so many people!"
"Rongcheng Qin Clan!? Isn't that the family whose members were all deposed by the saints of Yaoguang Holy Land?"
"That's right, it was because of a guy named Qin Chong that he was expelled from the Holy Road. Although he survived the thunderous punishment, he is still a man with no conscience!"
"The Qin people are really in the same boat when they join the Huang Sect!"
Discussions continued all around, and the expressions of Qin Fang and others became more and more gloomy.
What these people say is really unpleasant.
But Qin Chong looked at Su Jiuyou and found that her eyes did not change, and she did not seem to take these criticisms to heart.
"When others have mouths, the only thing that can shut them up is strength, real strength!"
Feeling Qin Chong's gaze, Su Jiuyou chuckled, then raised his hand, pointed at the building that looked like an alchemy cauldron in the distance, and asked with a smile: "Qin Chong, do you know where that place is?"
"I don't know." Qin Chong looked in the direction of his finger and felt the elixir energy rising into the sky, but he had never been to Xiling City.
I didn’t know much about alchemy before.
"That is the Alchemy Academy, which is set up by the Imperial Academy. All alchemists from the four major sects can go to the Alchemy Academy to assess their qualifications and obtain their identities."
"Although it is of no practical use, at least it can be recognized by the dynasty and accumulate fame."
"Although the rookie contest hasn't started yet, the alchemists will definitely start competing in the alchemy academy. Do you want to give it a try?"
Su Jiuyou asked with a smile.
"Oh!? Is it the Alchemy Academy set up by the academy? Isn't there also the Instrument Academy?" Qin Chong heard this and looked across.
He knew about the Academy. It was the place where the top geniuses in the dynasty gathered, and it was also the main way to enter the Holy Land for cultivation besides the Holy Road.
As long as you rise within the academy, you will have a chance to enter the Holy Land.
In this way, it is still necessary to leave your name in the Alchemy Academy and the Qi Academy. If you can get the attention of the academy, it will be much better than the four major sects.
"That's right, the Qiyuan is opposite!" Su Jiuyou nodded.
"That's it, let's go to the Danyuan first, let's go!"
Qin Chong's heart moved and he led everyone straight to the Alchemy Courtyard.
The rookie competition will only start tomorrow, and he doesn't want to spend today peacefully!
Soon, everyone arrived in front of the Danyuan. At this time, many warriors gathered outside the Danyuan.
On the square, there is a flame-shaped stone monument. Many young disciples are lining up in front. Judging from their clothing, they all come from the other three sects.
Rongcheng is very small, and the three major sects in dozens of surrounding cities have recruited many new people, and it is said that they have even set new records over the years.
"The fire-seeking monument is mainly used to detect strange fires. This is also the first level of the Alchemy Institute's certification assessment. The second level is at the back. Ask the Alchemy Platform. Random tests will appear on it. After completing the test, you can verify your Alchemy Dao qualifications. , and then the ranking will be imprinted on the Dan capital list."
Su Jiuyou explained to Qin Chong: "You have strange fire, go and line up!"
She knew that Qin Chong had a strange fire in his body. Even if it was only a first-grade strange fire, it was rare among rookies.
"Forget it, there are so many people, it's a waste of time. As long as you pass the assessment of Dantai, you can get on the talent list, right?" But Qin Chong shook his head and asked.
"That's right, do you think so?" Su Jiuyou raised an eyebrow.
In fact, the assessment of Dan Tai is very difficult. Many rookies who come to Dan Academy just show off their extraordinary fire at the first level and then give up.
After all, there is a rookie competition, and there is also a Dan Dao competition.
"Haha, go to the back."
But Qin Chong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and immediately rushed to the second level.
Buzz!
At this time, there was a dazzling red light shining on the fire-seeking monument, reaching a height of one foot.
This was suddenly a symbol of a top-level alien fire.
"Hiss, is this the legendary Yunqing Sword Sect's number one alchemy rookie, Mr. Qi Si? He has awakened a top-grade alien fire to burn his heart at such an early age. He has a bright future!"
"That's right, Mr. Qi Si comes from the Qi family that is number one in alchemy in Thirty-Six Cities. His talent in alchemy is unparalleled. Now he possesses a top-notch alien fire. In this competition between the three major sects in alchemy, he will definitely be the first." !”
Amidst the praises that surrounded him, a young man in green shirt standing in front of the fire-seeking monument slowly retracted his palm.
His face is like white jade, his eyes are like bright stars, he is holding a green bamboo folding fan in his left hand, and his temperament is like that of a noble son. This person is Qi Sijun, who is known as the number one rookie in the alchemy of the Yunqing Sword Sect.
Many sect women are impressed by Qi Sijun's charm, because not only is his alchemy talent unparalleled, but his combat prowess is also outstanding among the current rookies in the inner sect of the Sword Sect, and he has a top-level combat physique. Crane Minghun's cultivation has reached the early stage of pill formation, and his future is bright!
It would be the dream of many young women to become such a talented and beautiful person.
Mr. Qi Si stood proudly in front of the Fire Searching Monument with a folding fan in his hand. He enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars.
"Wow!"
But soon, the crowd around him suddenly started to make strange noises, and many eyes turned away from him.
Qi Sijun was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked around, only to find a group of monks in red cloaks, crossing the Fire Searching Monument and heading straight for the Alchemy Platform.
"Hiss, isn't this a monk from the Huang Sect? What are they doing in the Alchemy Academy?"
"That's right, it seems like we should go straight to the Wen Dan Platform!"
"Could it be that someone from the Huang Sect wants to challenge Dantai?"
"How is it possible that you dare to challenge Dantai without passing the Fire Searching Monument, let alone the Huang Sect? Are they crazy?"
"Don't worry so much, go over and take a look!"
The onlookers were mocked and surprised, but in the end they all followed him.
After all, this is the first time Huang Zong has participated in the Rookie Competition after nine years.
"hateful!"
Qi Sijun snorted coldly, feeling shocked and angry. He came to Danyuan just for this moment, but he was disturbed by the Huang Sect just as he started to gain momentum?
At this time, Qin Chong had already arrived in front of the Second Guantan Platform.
However, he discovered that there was not just one alchemy platform here, but three!
And the heights are different, extending directly to the front of Danyuan.
"There are three levels in the Alchemy Platform, namely the Xuan level, the Earth level and the Heaven level. The Alchemy Platform will be ranked based on the perfection and time consumption of the assessment, and you will be able to obtain three types of alchemy tokens: gold, silver and bronze."
Su Jiuyou smiled and immediately asked: "With your attainments in alchemy, you may be able to pass the Xuan level examination."
In fact, she was already praising Qin Chong. After all, she had seen Qin Chong make alchemy.
Otherwise, there would be no chance for a rookie to pass the Xuan-level examination, not even Qi Sijun, who is now famous among the four major sects!
"Is it just the Xuan level?" But Qin Chong raised his eyebrows, "The sect master is a little too unsure of me."
Immediately he stepped forward with a smile, and a cold and proud voice sounded, "I don't like the color of copper."
Then, amidst everyone's surprise, he came directly to the second alchemy platform and stood still!
Today is his first day in Xiling City, so let’s start from this Danyuan and make waves!
…
"Hey, who is this guy!? Are you crazy? Go directly to the second alchemy platform?"
"This guy seems to be the legendary Qin Chong of the Qin Clan!"
"Is it him? Can he still know the way to alchemy?"
At this time, everyone who was stunned on the spot started to make a loud noise.
But after learning that this person was Qin Chong, his face was filled with ridicule and ridicule.
Even if Qin Chong was lucky enough not to die under the thunderous punishment of the Holy Land, in their hearts, he was nothing more than a waste who was just lingering.
Now you dare to go to Dantai. Are you trying to make a splash?
This method is really despicable.
Su Jiuyou couldn't help but frown. She regretted not telling Qin Chong about the difficulty of Qin Chu's Earth-level Wendan platform, but now it was too late.
If Qin Chong failed, he would definitely be laughed at, and he, the Huang Sect, would definitely become a laughing stock on the first day he entered Xiling City.
"Whisper, that's the Dandan Platform, not a place for losers like you to try to impress people!"
At this time, a sharp shout rang out from the crowd.
That Qi Sijun led a group of rookie swordsmen to stand out from the crowd and speak righteously!
