Chapter 1997 A clever plan
As everyone moved forward, they soon entered the valley.
The heat wave in the valley was overwhelming, and not a single blade of grass grew. It was completely desolate as far as the eye could see. Even the surrounding mountain walls were burned into a dark red color by the high temperature. There were also many monks in standard robes coming and going, and their cultivation levels were even worse. There are many, including deacons who are guests at the transformation stage, and outer disciples who are not yet at the Nascent Soul stage, and even minor cultivators at the Golden Core stage can be seen filling them.
According to the rules of Jade Cauldron Mountain, the clothes are naturally particular. For example, the lowest level of Qi Practitioners and Foundation Builders wear yellow robes, while the higher-up Jindan Yuanying monks mainly wear white robes and have higher status. Deacons in the divine stage wear blue robes, while those in the refining stage, which symbolizes the elite of the sect, wear red robes.
This is also to better distinguish them. After all, for such a huge top sect in the spiritual world, there are more than 100,000 outer monks alone. This is still the result of merit-based admissions, otherwise I am afraid the situation will be even more exaggerated!
At this moment, in this valley, the number of blue-robed deacons in the deity stage is extremely limited. On the contrary, most of them are Jindan Yuanying and his ilk. These low-level alchemists gather here, not only to practice alchemy and complete the sect's tasks, but also to give... Many deacons acted as hands-on observers and students.
From this, it is not difficult to see that in this spiritual world where there are so many powerful people, the status of monks below the Transformation God is indeed quite low. Even if they have the blessing of an alchemy master, the situation is not much better. After all, the Holy Land of Alchemy is the least. What is missing is an alchemist.
But what is surprising is that all the alchemists gathered in the valley looked like they were in a hurry no matter what their cultivation level was. However, when they noticed the faces of Qin Tian and others, some monks began to point secretly, and even more There were whispers quietly:
"Look, a few more stupid young men are here!"
"Oh! Once you enter the Dan Hall, it's as deep as the sea! I guess these people will be squeezed hard by Xu Bapi again!"
"Isn't it true? Just refining elixirs for free for three years is enough? If the probability of elixir condensation is not up to standard and the tasks assigned by the sect cannot be completed, in the end you will either be kicked out or the assessment time will be extended...!"
"Hehe! You still want to be promoted to deacon? How can it be that easy? Then how can Xu Papi be an easy guy to get along with?"
"It doesn't matter, we can just sit on the sidelines and wait and see how long these stupid young people can persist, and how many of them can stay in the end...!"
............
The buzz around them was not loud, but it did not escape the detection of Qin Tian and others' spiritual consciousness. After hearing the deep meaning of his words, everyone's expressions inevitably darkened. Obviously, this so-called three-year alchemy, It is not as simple as imagined, but has strict requirements. Once you fail to complete the task assessment on time, not only will you not be promoted to deacon smoothly, but you will also be deliberately made difficult, or even kicked out directly.
And judging from the current situation, the deacon hall master is not a kind person, otherwise, how would he have the prestigious reputation of "Xu Bapi"?
Thinking of this, everyone was frightened.
However, things have come to this, and even if you want to regret it, it is already too late. Besides, after finally getting to this point, how can anyone be willing to quit?
Only Fairy Yu Fu and others remained as calm as before.
Considering the capabilities of the three major affiliated forces, these appointed alchemist representatives probably already knew the inside story, and they might even have special countermeasures.
After realizing this, Qin Tian could only sigh helplessly.
Sure enough, no matter where you are, your identity and background are extremely important, even the Alchemy Holy Land is no exception.
But the several deacons who led the way turned a blind eye to the complex mood of the people. Instead, they led them straight to the depths of the valley, in front of an ancient palace built on the mountain, and then announced in a mocking tone:
"According to the rules set by the hall master, within the next three years, you must complete the alchemy task here, and a dedicated person will come to check and accept it every three months. No matter what kind of elixir is refined, if the chance of condensation is not good, If the task requirements are met, the assessment time will be recalculated until all tasks are completed..."
As soon as these words came out, all the alchemists looked solemn, and some even showed bitterness on their faces.
After all, as we all know, no matter how powerful the alchemy master is, it is impossible to be proficient in refining all elixirs. There must be types that he is proficient in. For example, with the attainments of the old man Xun Yu, there is actually a high probability of making a middle-grade elixir. It was because the Restoration Pill was not the type he was good at that he was defeated by Qin Tian on the spot.
Now according to the rules of the Deacon Hall, all alchemists will be randomly assigned to alchemy tasks, and the results will be handed over every three months. It is very likely that the types of elixirs will also be changed. This will be a problem for everyone. It is a huge challenge, and it is extremely difficult to successfully pass the assessment.
It is almost foreseeable that if the task cannot be completed by then, the alchemists will definitely be stranded here and become the free coolies of Xu Bapi until they are squeezed to satisfaction. Afterwards, they can claim that this is a way to sharpen their skills and mind.
It’s no wonder that the head of the Deacon Hall was called a skinner. It’s expected that those alchemists who had entered the sect in the past had probably experienced such unfair treatment. Otherwise, how could they be so resentful?
However, due to the situation, everyone had no choice but to let it go.
But there are exceptions to everything.
For example, the old man with warts bowed his hands to the leading deacon and said in a polite way, but actually he said:
"Hehe! This brother is polite. I am Xun Yao, a guest alchemist from Black Dragon Mountain. I came to the sect to practice the art of alchemy. I hope you will take care of me!"
Sure enough, upon hearing the name of Black Dragon Mountain, the leading deacon immediately put away his arrogant face, and his attitude took a 180-degree turn. Then he said with a pleasant face:
"It turns out to be Brother Xun. I am so sorry! Since you are recommended by Black Dragon Mountain, I believe you have a good attainment in alchemy. The three-year period is just a situation! May I ask what kind of elixir you are proficient in?"
Hearing this, the old man Xun Yao was stunned. At that time, he was overjoyed and hurriedly replied politely:
"To be honest, I am best at Qingxuan Pill and Luhua Pill. If I can refine these two kinds of elixirs, it will be no problem to complete the task on time...!"
The deacon nodded when he heard this, first took out a jade slip and pretended to check it for a moment, then pretended to be surprised and said:
"Oh, what a coincidence, there is a task to refine these two kinds of elixirs recently. Since Xun Daoyou is quite good at it, you will be responsible for these two kinds of elixirs in the future!"
Seeing this situation, the old man Xun Yao was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him in person.
In the following time, the leading deacon waved his sleeves and took out a fire room talisman and a storage bag containing elixir raw materials, and handed them to the old man Xun Yao, and then loudly ordered to the side:
"Come on, arrange the best fire room for Xun Daoyou, and match it with two fourth-level alchemists to act as assistants, and don't be negligent in the slightest...!"
