Time flies, three months later.

Yu Xiao was sitting cross-legged in the hut, with a wisp of orange flames dancing in her palms, and bursts of hot breath spreading out.

As the mana in the body circulates faster and slower, the flames also grow larger and smaller, sometimes weak, sometimes strong, and the overall appearance is extremely agile.

"Although the "Condensing Light and Fire Technique" is only the most basic method of controlling fire, this method is quite mysterious. This may be the reason why the so-called "Simple Way" is used. It is more than enough to refine elixirs or refine magic weapons."

Yu Xiao was quite satisfied with the results of his practice during this period. After absorbing the magical power, he frowned and said to himself: "It's just that my cultivation level is low now and the mana in my body is shallow, which is not enough to maintain the consumption of controlling fire for a long time.

If you want to reach the level of refining elixirs, you need to upgrade your cultivation to at least the fifth level of Qi refining."

This is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

Putting aside the matter of alchemy for the time being, Yu Xiao still had more important things to do. Just yesterday he received the exact news that there would be a small trial to become a registered disciple of Luoxia Peak at the end of this year.

A few days ago, he had heard other disciples at Luoxia Peak talking about the trial for registered disciples. He thought it was a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.

In fact, this is not unique to Luoxia Peak. Every once in a while, Fuguang Sect will conduct different levels of assessments on the registered disciples of each peak. The purpose is naturally to eliminate those disciples who take up training resources but have no hope of promotion.

It is precisely by relying on this method that Fuguang Sect has maintained considerable vitality for hundreds of years.

Therefore, the registered disciples of Luoxia Peak all want to improve their cultivation strength before the beginning of the small test to ensure that they obtain the ideal results.

Of course, Yu Xiao had the same plan, and this would be his first time participating in the trial of a registered disciple, so he must not let anything slip.

It is now the beginning of April, and there are less than nine months before the end of the year. Time is precious, and he must improve his overall strength in all aspects.

Right now he only has twenty spirit stones, which is not enough no matter what he does. He needs more spirit stones.

"Well, it seems there is only one way."

Yu Xiao sighed, his mind moved slightly, and his consciousness appeared in Yunshang Immortal Mansion.

He got up and came to a spiritual field, where there were two spiritual plants that he transplanted some time ago.

These two spiritual plants were both collected by him from the Chiyuan Mountains.

The Chiyuan Mountain Range is vast, with criss-crossing spiritual veins and abundant spiritual energy in the world. Many spiritual plants have naturally been born. Many disciples of the Fuguang Sect earn a little extra money by hunting for treasures in the mountains.

Over time, as there were more disciples searching for treasures, the number of spiritual herbs and elixirs in the mountains naturally decreased. The two plants Yu Xiao found were not more than three years old and were not worth much, and could not be exchanged for a few spiritual stones.

Fortunately, he had Yunshangxian Mansion. After transplanting it, he watered it with spring water. Now it has grown very strong. Each plant is over a hundred years old and exudes bursts of medicinal fragrance.

During this time, he also carefully studied the Immortal Mansion and found that the time flow rate in the outside world was almost the same as the time flow inside the Immortal Mansion.

However, there is something extraordinary about these opened spiritual fields. There seems to be invisible spiritual veins gathering around them, making the spiritual energy in the soil much richer than the outside world.

If spiritual plants are planted here, with the same growth time, the spiritual plants in the Immortal Mansion will definitely grow much faster than those in the outside world.

Of course, this difference is far less significant than that caused by Lingquan's ripening process.

In the entire Immortal Mansion, only the bowl-shaped spiritual spring is the most peculiar.

The spring water within it is not infinite, but will be consumed.

However, as time goes by, the spring water in the spiritual spring will slowly generate. After three months, there is more spring water inside than at the beginning.

During this period, he also consumed a lot, about the amount of two teacups.

According to this calculation, the spring water accumulated over a month is enough for him to mature four or five spiritual plants for about a hundred years.

Now the water left in the spring is about half a wooden basin, which is not much overall.

"It's better to save some money. After you learn how to make alchemy, you will definitely consume a lot of spring water to ripen the elixir, so that you don't run out of it." Yu Xiao muttered to himself, having already made a plan in his heart.

Immediately, he took out two wooden boxes, dug out the ripened spiritual plants and put them in them, and left the Immortal Mansion with satisfaction.

Today is the day prescribed by the Alchemy Hall to send pine nuts, and Yu Xiao does not dare to neglect it. You must know that the disciples in the Alchemy Hall are all alchemists and cannot afford to offend.

Knocking most of the ripe pine nuts off the pine tree, Yu Xiao filled a bag full of them and flew into the sky on a kite.

These purple cloud pine nuts are actually not valuable, and most of them are used to make spiritual incense or spiritual tea that has the effect of calming the soul and calming the mind.

The disciples who entered the cave sometimes stayed in seclusion for more than ten years, or even longer, and lit incense made from purple cloud pine nuts in the cave to help keep the spiritual platform quiet.

Yu Xiao also likes to light the powder made from Ziyun pine nuts while meditating.

For him, this can be regarded as taking advantage of his position to benefit himself, but it is a pity that Ziyun pine seeds cannot increase his cultivation, otherwise he would be overwhelmed by the job of guarding the pine forest.

Two-quarters of an hour later, the Alchemy Hall of the Alchemy Hall was in front of him. Yu Xiao put away the magic weapon and lowered his body. Before anyone could enter the courtyard, he saw several people wearing the uniforms of registered disciples coming out, cursing as they walked. said:

"Bah, bah, bah, grandma's. The elixir refined by Elder Zhong is getting more and more unpalatable. It's even harder to swallow than poison. Do you think what our brothers eat is really poison?"

"It would be nice if it was poison. It means that Elder Zhong has at least refined an elixir. We won't have to suffer in the future. I guess what we will eat is probably another ball of elixir residue."

"Shh, keep your voice down. If these words reach Elder Zhong's ears, we will all be in danger."

While talking, the three of them glanced at Yu Xiao very warily, and soon drove away in the light.

Seeing this, Yu Xiao probably understood what was going on.

Elder Zhong, who is in charge of the alchemy hall, is an alchemy madman. His attainments in alchemy are second to none in the entire Fuguang Sect. He likes to study some weird alchemy recipes or invent an elixir of his own.

After all, the art of alchemy has been constantly summarizing and summarizing the experience left by predecessors since it first appeared. Until now, the so-called elixir did not exist at the beginning. When someone tried to refine the elixir, the elixir was It happened naturally.

To put it bluntly, those people were guinea pigs, the subjects of Elder Zhong's elixir test.

It is said that if you become a disciple of Dan Trial, you will receive a large amount of spiritual stones as compensation every time. Yu Xiao was once very excited.

But considering that the consequences of trying the elixir could sometimes be very miserable, he gave up the idea.

In the past, when he was very poor and exhausted, Yu Xiao had never done such a thing. Now that he has Yunshang Immortal Mansion, he would not do it anymore. Without thinking too much, he stepped into the Alchemy Academy.

After handing the pine cones to the disciples of the Alchemy Academy, Yu Xiao let out a sigh of relief. In the next three months, he could do his own thing again.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a deep and deep voice came from the vicissitudes of life: "Are you the new disciple who is trying the elixir?"

Hearing the sound, he went to look for it and saw an old Taoist with white hair and childish face walking towards him. His sharp eyes looked at Yu Xiao wantonly and without concealment.

With just one look, Yu Xiao felt that his whole body was being seen through. Fortunately, the scroll in the sea of ​​​​consciousness did not move. Thinking about it, even a monk with a high level of cultivation would not be able to pry into the depths of his consciousness.

to the existence of the scroll.

This made him feel a little more at ease.

The person in front of me must be Elder Zhong, the steward of the Alchemy Hall. It is indeed terrifying.

"Reporting to the elder, I am a disciple of the Pine Forest Guard, and I am here to deliver Ziyun pine nuts." Yu Xiao hurriedly replied, fearing that he would become the other party's guinea pig.

However, Elder Zhong did not take his words seriously and asked himself: "What is your spiritual root and what is your character?"

"My disciple's spiritual roots belong to water and fire, and his character is defective!"

Yu Xiao was inevitably a little nervous, and there was a little cold sweat on her palms. It was not good for a small registered disciple to be stared at by Elder Zhong like this.

"Spiritual roots belong to water and fire, which is rare. Let's inject mana into this stone and see!" Elder Zhong reached out and turned over his hand as he spoke, and a dark oval stone appeared in his palm.

Yu Xiao did not dare to disobey Elder Zhong's order, so she had no choice but to press her palms on the oval stone and inject a little of her own magic power.

It is strange to say that he only injected a trace of mana, but the oval stone was like a black hole, frantically absorbing his mana, and nearly 70% of it was drained away in an instant.

This really startled Yu Xiao, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Fortunately, the dark stone stopped absorbing mana. If it continued, he would have to be beaten to death.

At this time, the dark oval stone bloomed with a faint brilliance, which did not look obvious.

If you get closer, you can see through the smooth stone surface the twisted and twisted bloody lines inside. They are like tadpoles and a kind of writing.

Seeing this scene, Elder Zhong's eternal face showed a trace of fluctuation. With a flicker of his eyes, he threw a crystal bottle the size of a baby's fist over, and then said: "I'll give you one year to put your

Fill this spirit storage bottle with mana, and I will satisfy your request afterwards."

Before he finished speaking, Elder Zhong walked away without looking back, leaving only Yu Xiao with a confused look on his face.

At this time, the disciples of the Alchemy Academy who had been watching the show from beginning to end cast an envious look at Yu Xiao: "Tsk, tsk, junior brother, you are so blessed. I can allow Elder Zhong to fulfill one of your requests. This is at Luoxia Peak."

It’s not common.”

Yu Xiao looked at the crystal vial in his hand, wondering if he was being used as a guinea pig by Elder Zhong. It seemed to be different from the imaginary elixir-testing disciple.

Confused, he asked aloud: "Senior brother, what does Elder Zhong mean?"

The disciple shook his head, not knowing where to start, and replied in a deep voice: "How do I know this? I only know that you are not the first. Elder Zhong collects the magic power of disciples everywhere, from registered disciples to

Senior brothers in the foundation building stage don't have any rules.

If I were you, I wouldn't think too much. Anyway, you won't lose anything. You just pour mana into the vial, and when it is done, Elder Zhong will be able to fulfill one of your requests. This kind of good thing can't be found with a lantern.

"

"That's right." Yu Xiao nodded thoughtfully, with a thoughtful look on his face.

If it is as simple as that disciple said, just pouring mana into the spirit storage bottle, then this is indeed a good thing that cannot be found even with a lantern.

But his intuition told him that Elder Zhong was definitely not just trying to collect some of his magic power, there must be some secret in it.
