Thinking of this, Qingyang became more and more interested in the Alchemy King Society, and asked casually: "Brother Duanmu, I wonder what this Alchemy King Society has to say, are the three levels difficult, and what are the benefits of passing each level? Will I be able to obtain the inheritance of the Alchemy King if I pass all three levels?"
Duanmu Song said: "The Alchemy King Conference is extremely difficult. From the first time to now, no one has ever been able to pass the second level. Especially in the past hundred years or so, only a handful of people have been able to pass the first level. Chapter 1 The first level is to refine ordinary foundation-building level elixirs, but there are requirements for success rate. Only those who have reached the level of a true foundation-building alchemy master can pass it; the second level requires the use of Yuan Dan to refine foundation-building level elixirs. The top elixirs are not at the level of a quasi-gold alchemist, and there is almost no hope of passing. As for the third level, it is definitely more difficult, but it has never reached the level of the third level in hundreds of years, so there is no People know exactly what is being tested.”
After listening to Duanmu Song's words, Qingyang thought thoughtfully. The first level is to test the level of a foundation alchemist. If it is to test the skill of Cao Dan, Qingyang will not have a problem. Now the test is to test the skill of Yuan Dan, then it will not be a problem. It's easy to say that even if Qingyang now gets the second volume of Yuan Dan Zhenjie, he still has to learn it from scratch. It will be extremely difficult to fully master the secrets in five years.
However, Qingyang has a good talent for alchemy. As long as he can keep up with the materials, it will not be a problem to reach the level of a foundation-building alchemy master. Passing the first level is not a big problem. It is rare to pass the second level, which requires refining the top level of foundation-building alchemy. There are several types that are not at the level of a quasi-gold alchemist, and there is almost no hope of passing. Qingyang does not think he can reach this level in just five years.
As for the third level, it is definitely more difficult. Qingyang is not even sure of passing the second level, let alone the third level. It seems that the mantle of the Thousand-Armed Pill King is not so easy to obtain.
Seeing Qingyang's silence, Duanmu Song thought Qingyang was frightened by the difficulty of the Alchemy King Club, and quickly explained: "The difficulty of passing the Alchemy King Club is so high, and the rewards are of course very generous. Inside the Danwang Palace in Danwang Mountain There is an alchemy pool that King Thousand Hands Alchemy spent a lot of effort to build. As long as you pass the first level, you can soak in the alchemy pool for three days. The alchemy pool is very strange. The monks strengthen their muscles and bones while soaking. Internally refining the true essence is of great help to my cultivation. Forty-five years ago at the Alchemy King Meeting, I was lucky enough to pass the first level. After soaking in the alchemy pool for three days, my cultivation level directly broke through from the early stage of foundation building to the foundation building stage. Mid-term. As for the rewards for the next two levels, since no one has ever passed them, I can’t make any guesses.”
Although Qingyang had never seen the Danchi mentioned by Duanmu Song, he could not help but be fascinated after hearing his introduction. Forging the muscles and bones externally and refining the true essence internally could actually make Duanmu Song break through from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building. If it were a pill The pool effect is really so good, I have to try it no matter what.
In five years, as long as there are enough pills to raise Qingyang's cultivation to the peak of the third level of foundation building, he will encounter the bottleneck of breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building. This bottleneck is either big or small. If you are lucky, you can easily break through it. If you are not lucky enough, you may be stuck there for a lifetime. Qingyang doesn't think how good his qualifications are. It is inevitable to encounter bottlenecks. of.
Qingyang was still worried before, but Duanmu Song unexpectedly gave himself such a big gift when he fell asleep on the pillow. If you calculate it like this, staying in Duanmu's house for five years is definitely worth it. In the past few years, I must work hard to refine the alchemy skills. I don't dare to expect the next two levels. I have to find a way to pass this first level and get the opportunity to soak in the alchemy pool.
Originally, Qingyang was slightly uncomfortable with Duan Musong's bargaining method with him, but now this discomfort disappeared immediately. Duanmu Song had no choice but to do this. His strength was greatly damaged and his life span was short. He could no longer protect the Duanmu family. There was no other way to ask Qingyang to take charge. Although the conditions were a bit harsh, the benefits were not small. A copy of the second volume of the True Explanation of Yuan Dan, and a place to participate in the Alchemy King Meeting to soak in the alchemy pool, are all great opportunities that come only once in a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Qingyang nodded and said: "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist Duanmu. I agree to the conditions. I will stay in your Duanmu family for five years and leave after the Alchemy King Meeting."
Although the conditions of the Duanmu family are tempting enough, Duanmu Song still dare not conclude that Qingyang will definitely agree. A monk like Qingyang who has excellent alchemy skills, comparable strength, and tested character can only be met but not asked for. Once Qingyang refuses , the Duanmu family is in doom.
Qingyang's character has gone through many tests of the Duanmu family, from taking the initiative to save Duanmu Fei's sister and brother after a chance encounter in the wild, to helping Duanmu Song's injury, to sticking to his true heart in the face of the Duanmu family's treasury, and then to Duanmusong and Ximen Yingxiang were both injured but did not take advantage of the situation. This principle and this character are very rare among monks.
It's not that Duanmu Song can't find help from the outside. What he's afraid of is that he can't find a suitable person who has superb alchemy skills and is generally much higher than him. And the land of wealth, wouldn’t it lead to the wolf entering the house in the end?
In addition, Duanmu Song also saw through that Qingyang really didn't like the Duanmu family's wealth. If it weren't for the attraction of Yuan Dan True Solution, he would have left Wucheng Island long ago. He has cultivated to the third level of foundation building at a young age, and has a superb alchemy skill. His future is limitless. He can't stay in a small place like Wucheng Island, and he can't look down on the wealth of the Duanmu family. I understand. Knowing this, Duanmusong made this deal with Qingyang after comprehensive consideration.
Qingyang agreed to Duanmusong's conditions and became a member of Duanmu's family in name. To Duanmu Fei and his sister, Qingyang was their great-uncle. Duanmusong didn't need to say anything. The two of them quickly treated each other as juniors, and once again He bowed solemnly to Qingyang.
The juniors kowtowed in front of them, but Qingyang, the elder, couldn't even give them a greeting gift, so he had to take out two bottles of spirit flower honey from the gift talisman and give them to Duanmu Fei and his sister.
The people present were all monks, and they could roughly determine the effect of Spirit Flower Honey by opening the bottle and smelling it. Such a small bottle was worth much more than the same bottle of Qi Gathering Pill. Wucheng Island is located in a remote place, and there are very few spiritual herbs, not to mention rare good things like spiritual flower honey. The two of them were overjoyed when they saw it, and they quickly kowtowed to Qingyang to express their thanks.
Since he recognized Duanmu Song as his senior brother, some face-related matters were unavoidable. After that, Qingyang followed Duanmu Song and paid homage to the ancestors of the Duanmu family in the main hall, especially Duanmu Song's father in the portrait. The relationship between master and disciple.
