Chapter 167 Xiao Yi Shao
On the mountainside of Qinghuo Peak, Xiao Lin was walking on a long path around the mountain. The path was no more than a foot wide, and there was a bottomless cliff below.
If an ordinary person were to walk on this trail, one glance at the cliff below would probably make their legs and feet weak from fear.
But for Xiao Lin, this phenomenon naturally does not exist. He is walking on flat ground. Every time he rises, he is several feet away. From time to time, he hears the clear chirping of the spiritual birds in the mountains, which makes Xiao Lin feel uncomfortable. Lin felt refreshed.
The unpleasant encounter in the Alchemy Pavilion was gradually forgotten by him. Xiao Lin naturally knew that the Dan Pavilion disciple was simply trying to make things difficult for him. Before entering the alchemy room, the hint given by that person was obvious to him.
The reason why he didn't check Xiao Lin's storage bag before the test was to imply that Xiao Lin could use the existing Spirit-Absorbing Pill to complete the test, but after he completed the elixir, he had to check his storage bag.
This approach is very obvious. Once Xiao Lin really completes the test with the existing Yunling Pill, the two materials will definitely be retained in the storage bag. By then, Xiao Lin will be caught and even quibble. There is no chance.
Once such a situation occurs, there are only two results before Xiao Lin. One is that he bleeds heavily and settles the outer disciple of the Dan Pavilion on duty, and the other is that he is completely and permanently disqualified from the Dan Pavilion test.
The former was okay, but if it was the latter, then he really wanted to cry without tears. This made Xiao Lin murderous towards the outer disciple of the Dan Pavilion who was on duty, but he also knew that among the sects, Inside, the disciples of the sect are strictly prohibited from fighting each other.
Naturally, Xiao Lin would not do such a stupid thing, and when the man discovered that Xiao Lin did not follow his instructions, he immediately stopped trying to blackmail Xiao Lin again.
Through this incident, Xiao Lin also understood that the sect was not without disturbances. Under the calm water, there were also turbulent undercurrents. If that person didn't know that he was a new member of the sect, If you want to cultivate your identity, you may not dare to be so blatant.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin could already see the upside-down mountain peak at the end of the stone path. When they first came to the sect, Xiao Lin and others did not see the scenery clearly on the upside-down peak due to the distance.
But now, he could clearly see the scenery on the upside-down mountain peak at the end of the stone path, only about ten feet in the air. The upside-down peak was very flat.
Except for a small stone hall on the left and a row of more than a dozen stone chambers at the back, the entire mountain peak is cut into pieces of spiritual fields.
Xiao Lin saw that there were a large number of spiritual grasses and flowers growing on the spiritual field, the most numerous of which was the spiritual mist grass. Moreover, these spiritual mist grasses were divided into dozens of pieces. The year of the spiritual mist grass growing on each spiritual field was Obviously it's different too.
Moreover, in the center of these spiritual fields, Xiao Lin also saw dozens of Five Elements Spirit Grass growing, which made his eyes light up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
This spiritual field is just an ordinary spiritual field, but it has already planted a lot of five elements spiritual grass. It seems that this Dancao Mountain is indeed worthy of being the number one alchemy sect in the Immortal Way, which is famous for its alchemy.
The cultivation technique of this elixir alone is probably better than that of the other four major sects.
On these divided spiritual fields, all kinds of spiritual light restrictions flashed. Just feeling the huge spiritual pressure on those spiritual light restrictions made Xiao Lin terrified.
Xiao Lin came to the end of the stone path, looked at the stone palace opposite, and shouted respectfully: "Disciple Xiao Lin, come here to apply for the job of an alchemy boy."
The voice passed through the restriction and entered the stone hall. After a while, a person walked out of the stone hall. This person looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with fine features and beautiful eyes. He was only five feet tall, half a head shorter than Xiao Lin. So He looks handsome, but he has a bald head.
He looked at Xiao Lin and asked with a smile on his face: "This junior brother, does he have the alchemy boy's token?"
Being called Junior Brother by this person made Xiao Lin quite uncomfortable, but after sensing the aura of Qi Refining Perfection in that person, Xiao Lin decisively put away his contempt.
The person in front of him seems young, but his cultivation level is not low, and in Xiao Lin's memory, the only ones who have reached the Qi Refining Stage at this age are Bai Shuangzhi and the white-robed woman with Tianlinggen. .
Xiao Lin took out the wooden token he got in Dan Pavilion from his storage bag and threw it to the boy.
After taking the token, the boy confirmed it before nodding, chanting an obscure spell in his mouth, and after a moment, he gently tapped the light blue aura in front of him.
The spiritual light immediately split automatically, revealing a portal.
"Junior brother, come in."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin lifted up gently, passed through the separate door, and landed in front of the boy.
"Greetings to Senior Brother, what do you call Senior Brother?"
"Haha, my name is Xiaoyi Shao. My brothers and sisters all like to call me Monk Xiao, but I am not a real monk. My mother said that I will still marry a wife in the future. Oh, by the way, I just learned about it. , you are also a casual cultivator, so there is no problem. Come with me, I will take you to the alchemy room. "
Before Xiao Lin could speak, the laughing senior brother started talking like a barrage of words, which made Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile on his face. The young senior brother in front of him made Xiao Lin feel quite amiable.
After hearing this, Xiao Lin nodded with a smile and followed him into the stone palace.
The stone hall is very spacious. As soon as he entered the stone hall, Xiao Lin smelled the strong fragrance of medicinal herbs. Looking around, he saw that the surroundings were surrounded by wooden shelves filled with various spiritual herbs.
As for the rarer spiritual herbs, they are all contained in jade boxes and placed neatly.
"Junior brother is here. I can finally live a good life for a few days. You don't know that Master Tao is usually busy with cultivation. Almost all of the monthly sect's alchemy tasks fall on me. Senior brother, I can It’s unspeakably miserable. I thought that I only practiced alchemy just to be close to the water and swallow a few more spiritual pills to increase my cultivation. But I never thought that once I entered the alchemy depths, I would now become a coolie.”
Xiao Yishao had a sad face and poured out his bitterness towards Xiao Lin. At the same time, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Xiao Lin like a kind mother looking at the child in her arms, which was quite ambiguous.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but the previous restraint was mostly dissipated by Xiao Yishao's bitterness, and Xiao Lin felt a little relaxed.
Since entering this world of cultivation, Xiao Lin has been careful and cautious at every step. He only speaks a few words when meeting people and does not give up half of his attention when meeting people. However, chatting with this laughing senior brother made him feel less reserved and inexplicable. It's getting better.
"Is there no one else in this stone palace?" Looking around, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that there seemed to be no one else here except Xiao Yishao, which surprised him.
"Hey, do you think it is so easy to pass the Alchemy Pavilion test? Unless you are like me, born with alchemy talent, and Uncle Tao has a weird personality. He only recruits alchemy boys from casual cultivators, and for casual cultivators, "You may not find one who knows how to make alchemy among a hundred people, so it doesn't seem strange that there are only two of us here."
"Uh?" Xiao Lin heard this and was speechless for a moment. Xiao Yishao was indeed right. Most casual cultivators were busy hunting monsters or earning spiritual stones. How could they choose to make alchemy? You must know that alchemy is It requires a huge amount of resources to support, but he can't figure out why Uncle Tao doesn't like the family members. Could it be that she is also a casual cultivator?
"Those family members are different. Many of them have been trained in the art of alchemy by the family since they were young, so there are a lot of people on their side, but too many are useless. When it comes to alchemy talent, it does not necessarily depend on people alone. Just as much as possible.”
"Come, let me take you to see our alchemy room." Xiao Yishao took Xiao Lin and came to the internal test of the stone palace, where there were more than a dozen stone gates lined up.
Xiao Yi Shao pointed to the larger stone door in the middle and said: "This alchemy room is exclusively for Uncle Tao. We can't go in, otherwise she will find out and we will be punished. There are also severe restrictions on it. Even I can’t open it.”
"As for other alchemy rooms, we can choose them at will."
"Should Xiao Lin pay a visit to Uncle Tao first? After all, it is still unknown whether the old man will accept Xiao Lin." Xiao Lin was not smitten by Xiao Yishao's warm words. He knew clearly that the owner of this place could It was not the bald young master, but the uncle Tao whom he had never met before.
Hearing this, Xiao Yishao showed a half-smile but not a smile on his face.
"Hehe, before you came into the stone palace, I not only inquired about your origin through teleportation, but also asked Uncle Tao for permission. If she doesn't agree, I won't bother to talk to you so much."
"Uh." Xiao Lin's face was full of helplessness, but he was also very surprised in his heart. As long as Master Tao could accept him, his chances of getting the Five Elements Spiritual Pill would naturally be much greater.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let me introduce you to Uncle Tao first. Uncle Tao, whose only name is the Chinese character for "Ling", is one of the few true disciples in our Dancao Mountain, and he is also the beloved disciple of Uncle Wu. Uncle Tao is not only extremely talented in alchemy, he is already a genuine second-level alchemist, and he also has earth spirit roots. In this regard, he is a genius in cultivation just like me. "
"Uncle Tao is a woman?" When Xiao Lin heard this, his face showed a bit of surprise, but when he heard that the young senior brother in front of him turned out to be the same as Uncle Tao, he had rare earth spiritual roots. , still made him feel envious.
"Um, is there a problem?" Xiao Yishao looked at Xiao Lin doubtfully.
"No, no problem." Xiao Lin replied hurriedly.
"You also know that geniuses with our Earthly Roots do not need to pass the burrow trial. As for me, I joined the sect five years ago and have practiced alchemy to the level of a first-level alchemist. But if I want to enter I am a second-level alchemist, but there is still a long way to go. This is not because I am not talented enough, but because the number of second-level spiritual grasses is too small, and Uncle Tao is reluctant to give them to me for training, so I am delayed. Unable to advance to Level 2 Alchemist."
"Senior Brother Xiao, Xiao Lin also wants to learn the refining method of the second-level elixir, but he is suffering from the lack of elixir recipe..." Xiao Lin said cautiously from the side.
"Second-level elixir recipe? Those who can refine it don't need it, and those who can't refine it naturally don't need it. Since you have become Uncle Tao's alchemy boy, you can't just know the first-level elixir. The refining method is enough, but you also need to learn various second-level elixir refining methods. Although you may not be required to refining it yourself, you must be able to assist Master Tao when he is refining the elixir. "
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was overjoyed.
