The moment you step into the Alchemy Realm, for a practitioner, it is like turning a cocoon into a butterfly. What you have accomplished is a qualitative leap, and you have achieved something unique among practitioners. After all, there are so many three or four cultivation traditions up and down.
There are hundreds of people, but not one Alchemy Realm person is in charge.
He felt that he had undergone a lot of changes. From the inside out, there was almost no difference from when he was half-step Danhua. Naturally, everything was a good change.
When the realm broke through, many of the techniques he mastered that were not the Great Perfection were improved. The Golden Liquid Technique was directly close to Dacheng, and the upper limit of the range that Wanli Jiangshan Jue could be sensed also skyrocketed, allowing him to obtain more mountains and rivers.
Help each other.
His soul and body have made a huge leap forward.
Now, if he were to face him with half a step of Dan Hua, in a full head-on fight, he could fight ten of them!
It took him three days to stabilize all the changes he had made after breaking through the Alchemy Realm. He thoroughly mastered it, just like a sophisticated new machine that had been carefully run-in before it could fully exert its effect.
Three days later, he went to find the headquarters of the Yanhuang Department according to the address Yu Jinhua gave him. The address was on a street outside the Third Ring Road. On the way there, he was quite curious about the headquarters of the department. What could it be?
What does it look like? It probably covers a large area and is a very grand building.
But when he followed the address and came to the gate, he was stunned for a moment, wondering if Yu Jinhua had remembered it wrong. How could it be such a place? He was sure that he had not found the wrong street and house number.
There was nothing wrong with having a door in front of him, but this door was too shabby. It was just a very inconspicuous black iron door. It was difficult for two people to pass through side by side. It was also stained with rust.
After looking at the door a few times, he inevitably looked inside the yard. What he saw made him even more confused. Inside the door was a very ordinary residential area, with the iron gate facing it.
It's a small garden, just open the door and go in.
"this……"
When he was a little confused, he suddenly thought of Yu Jinhua's advice and just opened the door and went in.
He walked up and opened the iron door, and saw in front of him the flowers and plants planted on the wall, which were still in the state of buds. It was really embarrassing to step on them, but he still stepped on them.
And just when his feet were about to step on the flowers and plants, he suddenly felt a resistance, but the resistance disappeared instantly like blown bubble gum. When he looked back, everything had changed!
A palace appeared in front of him that was even grander than the Gongjinluan Palace in the Forbidden City. It was surrounded by a garden that was more elegant and exquisite than the garden yard of Wei Wangting that I saw that day, with small bridges, flowing water, and green bamboo gardens.
It should still be above the Forbidden City.
He subconsciously looked back and saw that the iron door behind him was gone!
"How amazing!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.
When he looked at the palace and the surrounding magnificent buildings again, he felt vaguely familiar. After observing it carefully for a few times, he suddenly remembered that the buildings here were very similar to the palace floating in the sky.
It's just not as big as the palace in the sky, there aren't that many, and it's still a few steps behind.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out why this was happening. Could it be that someone else had seen the palace in the sky and built it in imitation of it?
After stopping for a while, he walked inside and looked around for a few times. Soon, he saw other people. Some were sitting in the stone pavilion in the garden drinking tea, while others were standing on the small bridge.
Looking at the flowing water below, there are also people lying casually in the bamboo forest...
Those faces were all unfamiliar to him and he had never seen them before, but they must be people from the Yanhuang Department.
He had just arrived and couldn't tell where he was. He could only ask one person, so he came to a man who was standing on a small bridge and looked at the flowing stream below and stopped ten meters away.
Seeing the man lowering his head and looking at the water below, he did not rush forward to disturb him, but stayed for a while.
After waiting for about three to five minutes, the man glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Excuse me, I'm here to report. Well, I just broke through to the Alchemy Realm and I want to ask about the way." Xue Chen said.
The man nodded slightly: "Normally, you don't go to your branch to report first, and then someone will lead you here. How did you find it directly?"
"Is that so?" Xue Chen scratched his head, but Yu Jinhua didn't tell him this.
"Over there." The man pointed in a random direction, "Go there, someone will record you, and then take you to the Hall of Heroes."
"Thank you." Xue Chen saw the man lowering his head to look at the flowing water again, so he didn't bother him and walked away. He just felt a little strange. What's so good about the flowing water? Is there something mysterious about it?
Following the instructions, he walked all the way there and observed everything here.
I looked up at the sky. The weather was very nice and clear, and the sun was neither too cold nor too hot. Looking around, I saw that in the center of this place was a large palace, one of which was the most majestic, with other buildings surrounding it.
The man just pointed in a general direction. There were several courtyards in that area. For a moment, he really didn't know which one it was, and he couldn't just wander in randomly. Fortunately, someone came out of the courtyard at this moment.
It was someone he knew, Qiao Xinghai, a master who was proficient in spiritual formations.
There was another person accompanying Qiao Xinghai. The two had just come out of the yard and seemed to be heading to other places. There were also people in the yard seeing each other off.
Qiao Xinghai also noticed Xue Chen immediately. He was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Xue Chen, why are you here?" As soon as he asked this question, his expression became alarmed.
"Have you achieved the Alchemy Realm?" Qiao Xinghai opened his eyes wide and blurted out.
"I've met Senior Qiao." Xue Chen nodded, "Yes, I achieved the Alchemy Realm by luck."
Qiao Xinghai was a little confused. He had had in-depth contact with Xue Chen not long ago, that is, half a year ago. When they first met, they were still in the middle stage of crystal refining. Later, when they were repairing the flaws in the spiritual formation, they would reach this level in one step.
Refining the Crystal to Perfection can be said to be a blessing of great luck.
But now, only half a year has passed, how can we break through to the alchemy realm? This is too fast, it is completely impossible!
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."
Qiao Xinghai had long felt that Xue Chen was indeed something extraordinary. He was considered to be a somewhat different young generation. If nothing else happened, he should have some great achievements in the future. There should be a chance to break through to the Alchemy Realm.
But when he actually broke through to the Alchemy Realm and stood in front of him, Qiao Xinghai couldn't believe it. The time was really too short and it was hard to believe.
"Senior Qiao, I'm here to report. I don't know where to go. Please give me some advice." After finally meeting someone he knew, he naturally wanted to ask for details.
"Oh, are you a new member of the Alchemy Realm in the department?" The person who escorted Qiao Xinghai out spoke, a somewhat fat old man with two strands of mustache on his upper lip. He stretched out his hand to touch it from time to time, "Which group are you in?"
Yes, why did you come here alone without anyone else to guide you?"
"Well, I'm from the Tiger Group. I found it myself."
"Hmm." Mr. Miao Hu nodded and glanced at him a few times, his eyes filled with confusion. "It's strange, it's really strange. Why can't I tell when you were born? It seems that you are still young, but you also seem to be old.
Over a hundred years old, how could this happen?"
Xue Chen's eyes dimmed when he heard this.
"Let's talk about it after we go in, and I'll record it for you too."
When Xue Chen followed Mr. Hu into the courtyard, Qiao Xinghai was a little confused, so he told the person next to him, his apprentice, to go back first.
Entering the room, Mr. Hu arranged a seat for Xue Chen, and he sat behind a huge desk, which was fully equipped with paper, ink, pen, and inkstone.
"Now I want to record your information and tell it truthfully." Mr. Hu picked up the brush, covered it with ink, and got ready to write.
"Name."
"Xue Chen."
"Birthday and horoscope."
"It's the Year of the Snake, the month of Guiyou..."
The brush held by the old man with a moustache shook, stopped suddenly, and raised his head: "Are you only twenty-seven years old this year?"
Xue Chen neither nodded nor shook his head. According to the case, he was indeed twenty-seven years old, but since he had lost a hundred years of life, he could not be truly twenty-seven years old.
"Some unexpected circumstances occurred and I lost a whole hundred years of life. As for the specific age, I'll leave it up to you, senior, to decide." He didn't care.
Mr. Hu and Qiao Xinghai looked at each other and suddenly understood why they couldn't see their age clearly.
"Xue Chen, you lost a hundred years of life? How could such a thing happen?" Qiao Xinghai was very puzzled. The life span of a practitioner in the early stage of the alchemy realm is basically about one hundred and five years, and will not exceed two hundred. He lost one
A lifespan of a hundred years is a very serious matter, and more importantly, it is not easy to lose your lifespan. It is not something that can be lost just by saying it.
"I had some conflicts with the people in Guxian Village, so I lost a hundred years of life." Xue Chen did not go into details.
Hearing the words "Guxianzhai", Mr. Hu and Qiao Xinghai subconsciously frowned, their expressions filled with disgust and solemnity.
"Is that so? But since you had a conflict with Guxianzhai and you were able to talk about it so calmly, it can be seen that it has been resolved." Mr. Hu considered it for a while and wrote Xue Chen's birthday and birth date on the paper, and at the same time
He said, "If I remember correctly, since the establishment of the Yanhuang Department, only two people have broken through to the Alchemy Realm at a younger age than you, and you should be ranked third." (To be continued)
