Chapter 474
In the sea of bamboo house, Zhou Miaoli finished her voice transmission. She tidied up her dress, put away the beast skin and herbs, and immediately stood up and walked out.
After she left, she did not immediately look for PEI Ling, but went to the elixir dispensary first.
The elixir dispensary was located in the southwest of the xinsu Hall. From the outside, it was a white five-story Pavilion with a gilded roof and black pillars painted with red paint. It was surrounded by an extremely open square paved with green jade bricks and carved with a myriad of beasts and flowers. It was very lifelike.
At the main entrance, two rows of soldiers in bright armor stood.
After entering, they saw a table and chair in the opposite room. An old cultivator with a white face and beard was sitting there, wearing a green robe, black boots, and a soft silk hat. He was reading an ancient book in boredom.
Sensing Zhou Miaoli’s entry, he said without looking up, ” “Alchemist, you can enter and read on your own. If you want to find any ancient books and records but can’t find them, you can also come and ask this official.”
“Alright,” he said. Zhou Miaoli nodded and walked in alone.
There were rows of ancient scrolls, Jade slips, and animal skins placed on the shelves that reached the ceiling.
Kang wood had the ability to repel insects and evil. It was a plant left behind from ancient times and was extremely precious.
However, this place didn’t restrict its use, which showed the importance of these books.
In the corner, there were fist-sized incense cauldrons, burning with the nine revolution must-grain incense to expel the evil energy.
There were already some people walking and reading between the bookshelves.
From their attire, it was obvious that they were also alchemists participating in the court examination.
Zhou Miaoli’s eyes swept across the room and saw a few clearly foreign people. They were holding a Jade slip and lying in a corner, deep in thought. They didn’t even notice the furry ears popping out of their heads.
She first looked around before going upstairs. The layout of the second floor was similar to that of the first floor, but the content was different.
“It should be the higher the level, the more profound it is.” With that in mind, Zhou Miaoli went straight up to the fifth floor and pretended to flip through a few books.
After dawdling for a while and feeling that she was almost done, she slowly left the elixir dispensary and walked towards the hundred medicine Manor behind the xinsui Hall.
The hundred medicine Manor was actually the back garden of the Xin Cui Hall, and there was a corner gate between the two sides.
Unlike the pill house’s free entry, this place required a careful examination of the alchemist’s identity in order to determine the amount of medicinal herbs she could obtain for free.
Zhou Miaoli was only allowed to enter after registering.
After passing through the corner gate, they first had to pass through a Ling Xiao flower corridor, which was more than a hundred feet long. On both sides of the corridor were high walls made of green jade bricks and stones, and the ground was covered with moss, which was soft and thick like a felt blanket.
On top of her head were soaring cloud flowers that were in full bloom. Orange-red flowers hung down from the branches, looking very beautiful.
After walking through the tunnel, there was a gourd-shaped cave door. There were many kasayas climbing on it, and several vines were hanging down. There was a wall in the gap that depicted the scene of various medicinal herbs.
After turning around the reflective wall, he suddenly saw a wide open area. In front of him was a field of medicinal fields, planted with all kinds of medicinal herbs. Further away, there were even beast fences, raising all kinds of birds and beasts.
The gurgling water divided the medicinal field into several large pieces. The flowers and leaves on the water surface were many aquatic medicinal herbs that gathered in the distance to form a Lake. Due to the uneven terrain, it even formed a small waterfall.
Looking from afar, one could see a strange-colored water Tribe leaping into the water.
Zhou Miaoli looked around. She recognized all the herbs, and she had used the more precious ones before.
Even though her practice of refining pills was not very smooth, as a core disciple of a Sage sect, her vision was not comparable to that of ordinary cultivators. There were few treasures in this world that she was unfamiliar with.
However, he had just come into contact with alchemy, so he was still a little confused about the mutual promotion and restraint between these herbs and the treatment before they were put into the furnace.
Hence, he casually picked some flowers and plants before leaving the hundred medicine Manor.
When she came out, the cultivator in charge of registration counted the value of the medicinal herbs she had picked and informed her that she had basically used up her free quota.
The next time he came over, unless he picked some ordinary medicinal herbs that were not worth much, he would have to pay for it.
Zhou Miaoli didn’t think much of it and gave a perfunctory reply before heading straight to PEI Ling’s residence.
Soon, she arrived at the small courtyard.
He didn’t know what had happened, but there were actually three circles of alchemists surrounding this place.
Zhou Miaoli frowned slightly. What’s going on with Junior Brother PEI?
Before she could figure out what was going on, an Alchemist beside her turned around and saw a beautiful female Alchemist in luxurious clothes with gold and jade bracelets. He was first stunned, but then asked enthusiastically,”Fellow Daoist, you’re also here to discuss the remnant recipe with fellow Daoist Wang Gao?”
Zhou Miaoli looked at him and nodded, ” “Wang Gao and I are both candidates who passed the county examination in the Chao Phraya County. I wonder what’s happening here and why are there so many people?”
“Nothing happened.” The Alchemist replied, ” I just heard that fellow Daoist Wang has already found a way to make up for the incomplete formula and has begun to try refining pills. That’s why we’re here to ask for some related ideas.”
Hearing this, Zhou Miaoli squinted her eyes. No wonder so many people gathered here not long after she left!
However, this was not strange.
The reputation of the pill ceremony was widespread. The top dog of every competition would shake the world with boundless prospects!
Since Junior Brother PEI wants to take the top position of this year’s competition, he should start building up momentum in advance.
In this way, when Junior Brother PEI truly suppressed everyone and became the number one of this year’s competition, it would also be well-deserved.
When he revealed his identity as a disciple of glory sect, it would definitely shock the world and spread his name throughout the universe. Glory sect’s reputation would be greatly promoted!
With that in mind, Zhou Miaoli no longer paid attention to The Alchemist and pushed through the crowd towards the entrance of the courtyard.
With the strength of a second stage golden core, she quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd. She saw a sign hanging on the gate of the courtyard, which said, ” he’s refining pills, don’t disturb him. &Quot;
Seeing Zhou Miaoli knock on the door after seeing the sign, a pill master stopped her, ” “Fellow Daoist, stop! Fellow Daoist Wang is currently refining pills, so you can’t disturb him!”
Zhou Miaoli snorted and didn’t care. She said, ” “Fellow Daoist Wang, I’ve already gathered the medicinal herbs you wanted.”
???
In the small courtyard.
The building was specially equipped with an alchemy room.
PEI Ling had already gone through the pill formulas awarded for the county examination from beginning to end a few times. He had even controlled the time with the poison pill and refined a few cauldrons of medicinal pills.
As he was worried that his aura would leak and attract the attention of the glazed tile Empire, PEI Ling decided not to cultivate during the entire court examination period.
After making the pill, he sat on the futon and closed his eyes, waiting for Zhou Miaoli to come.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice pass through the barrier of the formation and directly into his ears, ” “Fellow Daoist Wang, I’ve already gathered the medicinal herbs you wanted.”
Eh? Zhou Miaoli?
She had finally come.
Thus, PEI Ling immediately stood up and left the small building. He walked through the courtyard and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a large crowd of people outside. He didn’t know how many alchemists were staring at him with longing eyes!
What was going on?
Didn’t he already hang a “do not disturb” sign in front of the door?
Why are all these alchemists here?
