Chapter 480
The worship courtyard was located in the northeast corner of Xin Cui Hall. It was a small courtyard with a flat roof hidden in the pine forest.
As the wind blew, the pine trees in the surroundings rustled, and as the leaves and needles moved, one could see that there were many rare birds and strange beasts resting inside.
These beasts were not afraid of people. When they saw that Zhongkui Fei had brought PEI Ling over, not only did they not run away in panic, but they also watched with interest.
The two of them walked to the front of the courtyard, but before they could reach out, the door opened with a creak, revealing a spacious courtyard.
The courtyard was wide and could be seen at a glance. The ground was covered with green bricks, and in the corner, there was a tall pine tree that was exactly the same as the one outside the courtyard. Some birds stood on it, chirping.
The courtyard was full of needles, as if no one had cleaned it up for a long time.
Finally, kui Yuan deliberately walked in with light steps. PEI Ling noticed and quickly followed.
The nineteenth Prince walked to the first room on the left without hesitation. The room was very simple and crude, and there was not even a door. Standing in the corridor, one could see that the inside was arranged like an alchemy room. In the corner sat an old man in a red robe with a long beard. He was holding a spiritual plant that looked like a dead tree, deep in thought.
From time to time, he would take out a few medicinal herbs from the storage bag beside him and draw with his hands, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem.
Sensing that someone was approaching, he didn’t look up and just casually said, ” “Little nineteen, what are you doing here instead of studying the questions of the court examination? This old master won’t help you play favoritism!”
“High official Zhu, how would I dare to disobey the laws of the empire?” Zhongkui bowed and said with a smile, ” I’ve tried eight times and failed. I’ve used up a lot of my energy, so I’m going to take a break before continuing. &Quot;
“I’m here because this fellow cultivator Wang has already completed the incomplete recipe and is here to submit the question.”
“What?” When helper Zhu heard this, he paused in the middle of taking the medicinal herbs. He then looked up at PEI Ling nonchalantly and asked, ” what is your test? Which four herbs are missing?”
“Junior’s test is to make up for the incomplete recipe of the five elemental barrier-breaking pill. The four herbs missing are the Meng wood tree, kun grass, kun fruit, and lychee ginseng,” PEI Ling said.
Five Element barrier-breaking pill ...
Minister Zhu recalled and nodded to himself. Yes, the main ingredients that were deliberately crossed out in this test were indeed these four!
He became more serious, and his tone became gentler.”Tell me about the two missing steps.”
Steps?
PEI Ling’s expression froze. He was seized by the system, how would he know what steps there were?
When he saw that high priest Zhu and Zhongkui Yan were staring at him, he forced himself to calm down and said, ” “I was born as a wandering cultivator, and my inheritance is incomplete. I don’t know how to describe many of the techniques and steps.”
“How about this, junior will refine a furnace of five elemental barrier breaking pills on the spot.”
Without waiting for consecrator Zhu to agree, he quickly took out the turtle, crane, auspicious elephant, ten thousand year peace furnace and removed the seal on a poison pill in his body.”System, I want to cultivate! One click to seize [ alchemy-five elemental barrier-breaking pill ]!”
“Ding dong! The intelligent cultivation system is at your service! With one click of the key, it upgraded its intelligence! [ seizing cultivation begins now. A thoughtful reminder: ] During the cultivation period, the host will lose control of his body. Please do not panic ...”
The system immediately responded. [ the system has started to cultivate [ alchemy technique-five elemental barrier-breaking pill ] for you ...”
Seeing that he had already started the fire, exalt Zhu stroked his long beard and looked on calmly.
Watching PEI Ling smoothly process the medicinal ingredients, fuse the pill liquid, and control the pill fire ... Zhong kuiyuan was unconsciously mesmerized and did not even blink. On the other hand, high priest Zhu’s expression was calm. When the furnace of pills was almost finished, he sized up PEI Ling’s young face and felt the vigorous vitality in his body before nodding slightly.
It was precise, concise, and smooth.
But it was a pity ...
Although his alchemy technique was extremely smooth and flawless, it lacked spirituality.
Although there was no problem with the medicinal effects of the pills refined in this way, they would ultimately fall into the old pattern and it would be difficult to reach the true peak ...
However, to be able to reach such a standard at this age, he could be considered a very talented junior.
After a moment, as he watched PEI Ling take out fifteen Supreme-grade pills from the alchemy furnace, consecrator Zhu only took a glance and nodded, ” “Not bad, it’s indeed the five elemental barrier breaking pill. You’ve passed.”
PEI Ling’s heart leaped with joy, but before he could speak, he heard foreign elder Zhu ask, &Quot; the rewards for the top three of the court examination, the earth-grade cultivation technique in the secret warehouse, a sixth-grade elixir furnace, and the Nanke dream fire. Which one do you want? ”
“Junior wants the Nanke dream fire.” PEI Ling said without any hesitation.
Upon hearing this, helper Zhu reached out his hand and grabbed at the void. Soon, a cluster of dream-like, illusory, and faintly discernible flames appeared in his palm.
With a thought from helper Zhu, a mass of ice crystals appeared out of thin air and sealed the flame within.
The next moment, the ice crystals wrapped in flames suddenly pierced through space and appeared in front of PEI Ling.
PEI Ling kept it in his storage bag with both hands and thanked him with cupped hands.”Thank you, Mr. Zhu.”
“This is what you deserve,” Helper Zhu did not seem to mind. He said, ” bring me the documents for your participation in the court examination. &Quot;
Seeing that PEI Ling had taken it out as he was told, he flicked his wrist and a seal appeared out of nowhere. After he stamped it, he formed a hand seal and extracted a trace of his aura, sending it into it. He then handed the document to PEI Ling and nodded slightly. &Quot; inject your true essence into it and activate it. &Quot;
PEI Ling didn’t know why, but he still did as he was told.
He had just injected a little true essence when the document suddenly emitted a vast white light that instantly enveloped him. In the next moment, PEI Ling disappeared without a trace!
Upon seeing this, Zhongkui knew that Wang Gao had been sent to the small sky of freedom.
Minor sky of freedom could cleanse the body and soul of the person who entered. The longer one stayed in it, the better the effect.
However, only alchemists who passed the court examination during the pill discussion ceremony could enjoy the treatment of entering.
Those who passed the court examinations first would naturally have an advantage.
In the past, it was extremely rare for someone like Wang Gao to be able to enter on the first day.
Not to mention, the questions of this court examination were so difficult ...
When she thought of this, she saw that Mr. Zhu was still calm and couldn’t help but ask, ” “High official Zhu, this Wang Gao only used a day to complete the incomplete recipe. How did he do it?”
Master Zhu continued to take out the spiritual plant that looked like a dead tree and said, ” “I don’t know,”
Zhongkui Xuan seemed to want to argue with her, so she shook her head. &Quot; instead of being curious about how others passed the court examination on the first day, why don’t you think about how you’re going to solve your own questions? ”
Without waiting for his reply, he flicked his sleeves.
Zhong kuiya was in a daze. When she came back to her senses, she was already standing outside the pine forest. The clear path behind her had also disappeared. All she could see was the pine forest and the birds and beasts.
He was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but smile. High official Zhu was right. The most important problem for him now was not to find out other people’s secrets, but to solve his own test. With this thought in mind, kuiyan finally walked back to her residence.
