Compared to his own predicament, Bai Xiaoran was a little envious of Cao Zhen, who had a master of alchemy as his teacher.
There are not many disciples in the Qingnanggu sect. In order to prosper the sect, Changfu Yao Lao has been constantly looking for talented people for many years and teaching them his own experience, so that high-level alchemy masters will continue to be born in the sect. This is very different from the approach of the alchemy master in Yuecang Sect.
Even being a registered disciple like Sun Jing would be good, Bai Xiaoran thought to himself, at least there is hope.
She looked away from Cao Zhen and returned, while Sun Jing and others had already walked up to Bai Xiaoran.
Seeing Bai Xiaoran coming here, Sun Jing was not surprised. After all, this school examination meeting was done by Changfu Yao Lao. A mere True Infant monk would not dare to break his promise and break the promise. He just didn't know what the other party had in his hands. Whether Shuang Ye is smiling or not, judging from the news from his subordinates, it can be seen that at least Feng Dezhai was determined not to sell medicine to Bai Xiaoran.
Sun Jing knew nothing about the reason for this. Yue Ya, the manager of Feng De Zhai, always had his own rules and regulations when doing things. In addition, he had a deep background and relied on powerful people. There were few monks in the city who dared to take action rashly, and the same was true for him, Sun Jing. So at the beginning, he could only wait and see how Yue Ya would deal with Bai Xiaoran.
After hearing Sun Wanchen's reply and knowing that Bai Xiaoran had returned home defeated, Sun Jing felt relieved and ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on him to see if there was any movement in Bai Xiaoran's place.
"Fellow Taoist Bai," Sun Jing said with a smile on his lips, "Fellow Taoist attended the meeting on time today, which shows that he was well prepared and quite confident."
In the middle of the sentence, he changed the subject, looked down at Sun Wanchen, and said: "I am a poor Taoist who has no way to control me, but he made my fellow Taoist laugh. Now I am asking my brother to apologize to my fellow Taoist. Wanchen, why don't you give it to me quickly?" Fellow Daoist Bai, go and apologize."
After finishing his words, before Bai Xiaoran could speak, he saw Sun Wanchen falling to his knees with a plop, and knocked hard on the ground three times. Then he cried and said that it was his fault, as if he regretted it, causing the monks around him to look sideways.
Cao Zhen, who was surrounded by people, had to lower his eyes at this moment. Seeing Sun Wanchen's face full of tears and embarrassment, he frowned and asked with some disgust: "Junior Brother Sun, what's going on again?" What's going on?"
Sun Jing was surprised when he heard this, pretending to be ashamed, and told everyone about the conflict between Sun Wanchen and Yi Wen and others. At the end, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying with extra humility: "Senior Brother Cao doesn't know, this Yue Cang Fellow Taoist Bai Xiaoran from the sect is also a member of my generation, with profound alchemy skills and a kind heart, so I asked Wan Chen to come to apologize. I hope that Fellow Taoist Bai will forgive him, otherwise I, as the elder brother, will be even more miserable. My conscience is troubled."
Cao Zhen had just arrived here not long ago, and he had a arrogant temperament. Naturally, he was not very clear about the undercurrents between Sun and Bai. After hearing these words, he didn't care much at all. He just waved his hand and said casually: "So what?" Is it difficult? Since we are all of the same sect, we just judge each other based on alchemy skills. In the final analysis, they are all matters between the younger generations. It is difficult to sort out right and wrong. I have fought against alchemy skills today, so I shouldn’t worry about it anymore!"
Cao Zhen has been pampered for a long time, and he is considered a free and easy person above this trivial matter. When Bai Xiaoran looked at him, he knew that Sun Jing had used him as a raft, and wanted to take the opportunity to implement the Dan Dan Fighting Agreement. After all, he only sent someone to invite him that day, but Bai Xiaoran never came forward to respond.
After watching the play silently, Bai Xiaoran only felt a bit of contempt in her heart. She was not as resentful as Sun Jing imagined. Instead, she stretched her brows and smiled, and replied: "This junior is doing this nonsense, and it's not just your younger brother." By the way... I think today is the time for Changfu Yao to test the elixir of school. If we make an appointment to fight the elixir, there is no need to choose another date, so I will use the results of today's meeting as a conclusion, so as to teach you the truth. Friends, let’s bear witness together.”
These words were completely beyond Sun Jing's expectations. He secretly felt that something was wrong, but Cao Zhen beside him smiled and said, "That's great! It is most appropriate to have my mentor personally make the judgment."
Seeing that the name of the elixir of longevity was brought out, Sun Jing could not continue to think deeply. He nodded and chuckled with Cao Zhen, and then logically combined the elixir fight with the school examination meeting.
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly on all the platforms, and you could see that the fires were blazing and the smoke was rising.
The earth fire has stabilized, and it is no longer easy for the medicine boy to approach the area near the alchemy furnace. More than ten earth-level alchemists are sitting cross-legged in front of the furnace, with solemn expressions and clear eyes. The alchemy furnaces used are of different sizes and shapes. Today they are all gathered together on the platform, but they feel neat to those who look at them, and they unconsciously hold back their voices.
Directly in front of the fighting platform, there is a high pavilion, with dozens of figures sitting in it, not allowed to be seen by outsiders. They only let out a little breath, which shocked the hearts of the monks, and they did not dare to raise their eyes at all.
Cao Zhen put his hands flat on his knees, glanced across the high pavilion, and felt confident in his heart, knowing that his mentor must be in that high pavilion.
The elder Changfu Yao looked at his disciple and nodded with a smile.
He has a lifespan of nearly 30,000 years, and has no spiritual points in his body. There is no hope of becoming an immortal in this life, so the only vision in his heart is to prosper the sect and strengthen his own lineage. Over the years, there have been countless disciples. There are more than a thousand direct disciples alone, and the named disciples are even more difficult to count. Cao Zhen was relatively young but had outstanding qualifications. More importantly, he was somewhat related to him after being born directly from his bloodline.
Naturally, Changfu couldn't help but have a bit of a preference for this young apprentice, and he couldn't even bear to refuse the other's request to come to this school examination competition to try his hand at it.
As for Sun Jing, he was not impressed at all.
"The elixir we are going to test today should be the soul-purifying elixir and the heart-solidifying elixir. After realizing that refining this elixir can easily damage the soul, we have improved the elixir a lot. Now we are trying it again. Isn't it amazing? What's going to happen?"
Everyone here is a heaven-level alchemy master, and their cultivation is at least in the realm of spiritual communication. Headed by Changfu Yaolao, the cave monk, there are more than ten spiritual monks sitting on both sides, and the person who spoke is sitting on the long Fu Yao Lao bowed his head. In front of the people on the left was a woman with thin eyes and thin lips. She was about twenty-seven or eighty-year-old, and her actual age was much older than that. Although she knew that there was a monk Dongxu sitting in the pavilion, her tone remained the same. The majesty shows the longevity and blessing of Yao Lao who is not afraid of those above.
Changfu Yao Lao smiled and nodded, and was actually polite to the people on the left and right sides.
"In this way, you can pass this elixir recipe back to the sect to eliminate hidden dangers."
The solemn woman nodded in response. The talisman on her waist had already revealed her identity. It was the symbol of the sun and the moon.
The other heaven-level alchemists sitting here did not make any cover, they all came from the ten sects of the righteous path, without exception.
