Xu Chen and Lan You did the same thing. After refining three furnaces of elixirs overnight at the speed of one elixir in two hours, they finally used up all the energy they had accumulated from the spiritual food meal they had eaten last night.
Finally, I meditated for half an hour before dawn and regained some strength.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister Lan..."
As soon as it was light outside the window, a girl's clear call came from outside the courtyard.
Xu Chen yawned and walked out with his eyes closed, when he saw a beautiful little girl rushing in. The two almost bumped into each other.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, why are you here so early?" Xu Chen greeted with a confused look on his face.
Yun Xi said excitedly: "Fellow Daoist Xu, aren't you and Senior Sister Lan going to the Scripture Collection Pavilion today? I'll go with you!"
At this time, Lan You had just come out of the shower, and her hair was still wet.
Yun Xi looked at Lan You, and then at Xu Chen's tired face with dark circles under her eyes. She seemed to understand something at once. She stepped forward with a smile, hugged Lan You's arm, and whispered something in her ear. Lan You blushed instantly.
Erchi turned around and pulled her into the bedroom.
Xu Chen also turned black and went to find a place to urinate, wash his face and rinse his mouth.
Just when he was almost in shape with three strokes, five and two, a colorful sparrow came through the clouds and mist, and in the blink of an eye, several graceful beauties and fairies descended from the sky and landed in the small courtyard.
The visitors were none other than the four young nuns who came to deliver dinner yesterday.
Xu Chen hurriedly greeted him, and Lan You and Yun Xi hurried out to greet him. After a brief exchange of greetings, Xu Chen realized that the four girls were here to deliver breakfast again, and stated that several elders had made it clear that they would accompany Xu Chen throughout the entire process.
Go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to observe and learn the Jade Qing Palace exercises, and help collect and organize the elixirs and utensils Xu Chen needs for his alchemy.
And despite Xu Chen's evasion today, the four women all said that this was a joint decision of the elders, and that they were only acting under orders. At the same time, they all said that they would not interfere with any of Xu Chen's actions.
Xu Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat a hearty and energetic breakfast under the supervision of a group of women.
However, although the food was beautiful, it made him feel very uncomfortable eating it.
This approach of Yuqing Palace is obviously against common sense and seems to have an ulterior secret.
The purpose was most likely to find out how he made alchemy.
But even if they see this method, they will never learn it.
In other words, during the time that I stayed in Yuqing Palace, I might have to be surrounded by such a group of beautiful fairies every day.
It doesn't matter if he follows, but all the hatred he attracts will fall on himself, and his future is a bit worrying.
But since the person has already arrived, there is no way to drive him away, and Lan You has no choice but to attract his own sparrow in the end.
As a ray of light pierced through the sky, a colorful bird came quickly from the bottom of the mountain. It was wrapped in a strong wind and lay down in front of Xu Chen with a puff. It opened its mouth as big as a basket and made a cooing sound.
The sound of begging.
With a dark face, Xu Chen took out the jade bottle and threw a magic elixir into the big bird's mouth, and then kicked it out of habit. The big bird closed its mouth and kissed Xu Chen affectionately with its big head, and deliberately leaned down.
The body lets him go up.
Lan You and Xu Chen had long been accustomed to this big bird's milky nature, so they jumped up and stood on the bird's back.
Yun Xi and the four girls were extremely shocked, with surprise on their faces.
Although these spirit sparrows are poultry raised by Yuqing Palace, they are still third-level spirit beasts after all. Their temperament is still very savage, mainly because they are very powerful. Although they can provide services by following domesticated instructions, they still have to be carefully served on weekdays, otherwise
If you get angry and peck someone, not to mention those in the True Yuan realm who can't handle it, even a group of elders in the Dan Yuan realm will have a headache.
As for the fourth-level spirit sparrow, only elders above the Danyuan realm can barely control it when going out. If you are not careful, it will cause heavy casualties.
Last time Yulong Zhenren was a lesson learned from the past.
Since then, all three-headed and fourth-level sparrows in Yuqing Palace have been banned from use, and only three Supreme Elders can ride them.
But this third-level spirit sparrow's attitude towards Xu Chen was so gentle that it made people jealous.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, I'm not familiar with the Sutra Collection Pavilion in Yuqing Hall, so you can help me lead the way!" Xu Chen said.
"Okay, then let's go to the nearest Alchemy Hall Sutra Storage Pavilion first, just in time for Fellow Daoist Xu to see if there is any need for alchemy!"
After Lan You finished speaking, with a flash of consciousness, the colorful sparrow flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
"Sister, wait for me!"
Yun Xi quickly flew up in the air, squeezed in between Xu Chen and Lan You, and grabbed Xu Chen's sleeves tightly with a familiarity, and said with joy: "The second elder happened to be teaching in the Dan Hall today, listen.
It is said that there will be an alchemy competition between the inner and outer gates, and if you win the first place, you will be awarded a Seven God Pill."
"What kind of elixir is the Seven God Pill?" Xu Chen asked curiously as he had never heard of it.
"Wow, Fellow Daoist Xu doesn't even know about the Seven Gods Pill..." But at this point, Yun Xi seemed to remember that Xu Chen was not from Yuqing Palace, so he quickly explained: "The Seven Gods Pill is unique to our Yuqing Palace.
The secret formula of the pill, as long as the cultivation level is below the True Yuan realm, you can double your soul after taking it once, and the effect lasts for seven days. The original name was called the Seven-Day God-increasing Pill, but we are all accustomed to calling it the Seven-God Pill."
Xu Chen said with surprise on his face: "There is such a magical elixir?"
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Of course!"
Lan You stood at the back and said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, don't listen to Yun Xi's exaggeration. The Seven Gods Pill does have this effect, but a person can only take it once in his life. If it is used to advance, it will indeed have some miraculous effects, but once
The side effects after taking it are not small, and it will cause your cultivation to stagnate for a long time, and you may not be able to make progress for several years."
When Xu Chen heard this, he immediately understood and nodded: "I see, I understand. This Seven Divine Pill is supposed to be a strange elixir that deeply taps into the potential of the soul. However, the digging intensity was too great, which caused the soul to be in a weak state for a long time.
, just like excessive use of human vitality, causing damage to the meridians."
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xu is indeed smart. He is also an expert in alchemy. However, although the Seven God Pills have serious side effects, their effects are surprisingly good. For those monks whose souls are less powerful, one pill can change the situation.
As for the level of cultivation, even if you break your head, you still have to fight for it. There are thousands of people inside and outside our Yuqing Palace, but only a few are promoted every year. But unfortunately, although this elixir is good, I heard that it is difficult to
It is very laborious to make. Even for a group of white-bearded senior brothers from Dantang, the success rate is less than 50%. In addition, some of the elixirs are quite special and you cannot refine a few pills in a year. If Daoist Xu is interested, you can participate in the competition.
Try it, maybe you can get it."
Yun Xi said, and gently poked Xu Chen's back with her fingers.
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is an alchemy competition for your disciples of Yuqing Palace. How can I participate? Besides, I am self-aware and my alchemy skills are very poor. I can only make some first-grade pills haphazardly. How dare a group of senior brothers compete in the Alchemy Hall of Yuqing Palace?"
Show your shame in front of your seniors."
"What's the point? Those senior brothers and sisters from the outer sect are not so good at refining elixirs. There are not many who can refine first-grade elixirs. Only the second elder and a few direct disciples are decent, but they are all in their eighties or nineties.
They are too old to still participate in the competition." Yun Xi curled her lips and explained.
Xu Chen turned to look at Lan You behind him and asked: "What grade is this Seven God Pill? I don't know if I can watch the pill recipe?"
Lan You hesitated for a moment and said, "According to Supreme Elder Baiyun Zhenjun, fellow Taoist Xu can see all the exercises and prescriptions in the Alchemy Hall, but I don't know yet whether the second elder and others will be allowed to see them."
"That's it!" Xu Chen pinched his chin and his expression became a little strange.
The three true monarchs of Yuqing Palace are high above them, like the divine needles that stabilize the sea, stabilizing the overall situation and ensuring the safety of Yuqing Palace. However, in fact, they do not care about any affairs of the mountain gate and focus on cultivating aloof from things. Except for things like someone turning into a spirit or the ghostly energy of Black Wind Ridge leaking out.
They would only show up when there were major events affecting the entire immortal world. Basically, the dragon was usually nowhere to be seen, and even his disciples were nowhere to be seen.
Of course, no one dares to disobey what they say, but this kind of compliance is also carried out in accordance with the operating rules of the mountain gate, and is not unconditional.
The elders of Danyuan Realm are the core in charge of the operation of the entire mountain sect. Each person is in charge of a piece of affairs, and each has a large group of disciples and disciples under his command. In this way, several mountains and factions are formed. The same is true for the outer sect, and several factions of the inner sect are also formed.
There are thousands of connections. In fact, this situation is no different from the structure of the civil court, but it is relatively simpler, and there is not so much intrigue and complexity in people's hearts.
If several elders have different opinions, or if the quarrel cannot be resolved regarding the overall development of the mountain gate, they may eventually find the three supreme elders to break up the dispute, and that will be the final outcome.
In fact, Zhenjun Chixia, who has reached the True Spirit Realm, doesn't care about anything in the mountain sect at all. He is completely like an outsider. Several elders and disciples have not seen him once in more than ten years. The only one who can still take care of things is
True Lord Baiyun, because he used to be the head of Yuqing Palace, but it has been fifty years since he resigned.
It is precisely because of this that even if it is True Lord Baiyun, a group of elders will still follow their own ideas when executing it, as long as they do not violate his orders in the end.
Baiyun Zhenjun promised Xu Chen that he could see all the secret techniques in Yuqing Palace except the two core secret scripture collection pavilions, but whether he could see it in the end, just like when he took the Seven-Star Golden Toad, had to depend on his own ability.
, to convince everyone.
If a person has no ability of his own and keeps doing things under the title of others, this is almost like seeking death in the fairy world where he relies on his strength to survive.
Xu Chen now understands this truth very well.
To put it bluntly, it is the last word to have a big fist. If he now has the strength of the divine realm and comes to see the secret techniques of Yuqing Palace, the entire Yuqing Palace will not dare to fart.
Therefore, I am afraid that the observation and study these days will not go so smoothly.
But Xu Chen doesn't care. Anyway, this is a chance he picked up for free. It's as good as it gets. For him, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In addition, the Yuqing Palace discounted the execution conditions of True Monarch Baiyun, and Xu Chen naturally wanted to discount alchemy. Not only did he want a discount, but he also wanted to make a fortune.
He had thought about it, since the elders arranged for so many young and beautiful female disciples to come over to eat, play, and refine elixirs with them, he would take the opportunity to search and stock up on some spiritual herbs and elixirs, and just use the excuse that the elixir-making rate was not high.
50%, 30% or even 20%, when the time comes it is not just nonsense, he believes that Lan You will not cause trouble.
