No. 295 Xinzhang Pharmacy
Zhou Fu, female, 72 years old, an outer disciple of Daojian Sect, has been practicing for 64 years since she started.
Her talent for cultivation is decent, and now she is a great cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and she is only one step away from the legendary golden elixir that separates heaven and man.
In the outer sect, except for the occasional golden elixir boss, she can be said to be well-known, and other people will respect her with a Taoist bow or a call of "Daoyou Zhou" when they see her.
This is the strength and qualifications she has gained through 64 years of diligent practice.
However, she has been waiting for a long enough time in the foundation building, and she feels that her cultivation career has come to an end. She wants to form an elixir and take that step, which requires an external opportunity, a big enough opportunity.
She has been looking for this opportunity for many years but has not found it until this day, when someone told her that the medicine hall will recruit new members, and this opportunity came.
Medicine hall?
A place that manages the sect's elixirs and medicinal materials, such a place will not lack elixirs... Then wouldn't it be that there are enough barrier-breaking elixirs and various elixirs? !
This is the opportunity.
Join the Medicine Hall and get a barrier-breaking elixir... No, at least get a barrier-breaking elixir.
She keenly realized that this was an important turning point in her life. If she grasped it, her future cultivation path would be smooth sailing.
This time, the Medicine Hall recruited new members, requiring disciples to know alchemy and arithmetic. Many people were discouraged by these two points, but Zhou Fu realized that in the past, the entire Deacon Hall did not recruit new members, and they all relied on various relationships to enter. No one had ever heard that they needed to know alchemy knowledge. Could it be... this is not just recruiting deacon disciples?
She immediately asked who the current elder of the Medicine Hall was, and learned that it was Qin Ran, the head of Danfeng.
"This is recruiting outer disciples of Danfeng..."
She knew that the peerless female sword fairy Li Shiyin was a disciple of Danfeng. Li Shiyin was a sword cultivator, not an alchemy cultivator.
"Master Qin wants to recruit disciples to teach alchemy... maybe he wants to revive Danfeng!!"
What is the trend of the times?
This is the trend of the times!
For an outer disciple like her, a low-level figure in the sect, when the sect leaders want to revive Danfeng and recruit the first batch of disciples who specialize in alchemy, for her, this is an earth-shaking trend.
"If I can borrow this trend, then let alone forming a pill, I will become an alchemist in the future, with endless pills to take, then it is not impossible to reach the Nascent Soul and the God Transformation."
Thinking of this, Zhou Fu made a decision. This time, even if she died, she would die in the Medicine Hall.
She must seize this opportunity, she must become a deacon disciple under Master Qin!
Children from poor families grow up early. As an outer disciple who has practiced for decades, Zhou Fu knows a little bit about most of the strange things. She originally knows a little bit of scattered alchemy knowledge.
Now, she went to find all the alchemy books she could find, and then closed herself up, not sleeping, not eating, not drinking, memorizing all the knowledge by rote.
Once was not enough, she memorized it twice and three times, until August 31st, the last time, she came out of seclusion.
On September 1st, Zhou Fu rested for a night, adjusted her condition to the best, and appeared in the square early. This was her chance to make a leap in life, and she would not allow any problems to happen to her.
She waited quietly, without a trace of impatience. Some people around complained, but she did not complain; some people around quietly scolded Qin Ran, but she did not scold; some people around were noisy, but she did not speak...
When the autumn sun began to scorch, Qin Shouzuo came, riding a tiger.
Zhou Fu looked up at Qin Shouzuo in the crowd, looking at the terrifying Xuanming Spirit Tiger, she knew that she was not even as good as Qin Shouzuo's mount, far worse.
Just a tiger roar made her clearly find her position. It turned out that this was a high-level cultivator.
When someone questioned the rationality and fairness of the exam conducted by Qin Shouzuo, Zhou Fu just found it funny.
Because there are no idiots here, who would question Qin Shouzuo for no reason. They are just trying to attract attention and enter the Medicine Hall through another way.
When Li Shiyin sent the test questions to her with sword energy, she couldn't help but doubt her life. With her knowledge, she couldn't imagine what kind of realm could control the sword energy to this extent. The sword energy was obviously very sharp, piercing through the air and causing pain to her skin, but it didn't cut a thin piece of paper.
So this is the direct disciple, the top ten geniuses.
When someone was late, he was directly expelled by Qin Shouzuo. Zhou Fu sneered in her heart. Such a life opportunity, but that person treated it like this. He should suffer from the heavenly tribulation.
The questions in the alchemy exam were difficult, but Zhou Fu didn't panic at all, because she knew that she had some knowledge of alchemy. Even if she found it difficult, others would find it more difficult. She calmly finished all the questions she could write and wrote her name and information in the designated position. Don't do anything you shouldn't do.
After the exam, there was a long wait. Zhou Fu didn't do anything else, just waited at home and meditated quietly.
On the third day after the exam, she finally received a piece of paper floating in from outside the house, which read: Tomorrow, go to the Pharmacy Hall for an interview.
There were more than fifty people participating in the interview.
Zhou Fu came very early and stood in front of the Pharmacy Hall.
... No one cut in line because the Pharmacy Hall's steward Yan Yi was right next to him.
At ten o'clock, when the sunlight moved out of the Pharmacy Hall, the handsome Qin Shouzuo, who looked like a young man, appeared in front of the Pharmacy Hall with his sword fairy apprentice.
Zhou Fu remembered that Chief Qin also showed up at ten o'clock yesterday, so she knew that Chief Qin would not show up until ten o'clock.
Chief Qin and Li Jianxian walked into the Palm Medicine Hall. When they came to her side, Chief Qin said to her, "Come with me."
She then walked into the Medicine Palm Hall and stood obediently in the middle of the lobby.
Chief Qin sat down at the main seat, and Li Jianxian stood next to him. The door behind her was closed by Yan Yi. At this time, there was no one else in the hall.
"Zhou Fu?" Chief Qin took out a book on the table and asked her warmly.
He looked like a young man he met during a spring outing and had a casual conversation with her. But the experience on the exam day made Zhou Fu know that this is called a smiling tiger.
"Yes." She made herself look and sound as respectful as possible.
"Do you know Zhishen Valley?" Chief Qin suddenly asked her.
She didn't understand what it meant, so she just replied truthfully: "I know."
"Are you from Zhishen Valley?" Chief Qin asked again.
Zhou Fu frowned and shook her head: "No."
Chief Qin turned his head and looked at Li Jianxian. Li Jianxian nodded, then he lowered his head and recorded two strokes, and continued to ask: "Do you like alchemy?"
"like."
"Have you ever practiced?"
"..."
After that, Chief Qin asked her a lot of strange questions. After asking her, he asked her to wait outside the door.
Zhou Fu stood in the corridor under the eaves of the Medicine Master Hall and saw a disciple going in for an interview, and then standing behind her waiting with a puzzled look on his face. She saw someone going in for an interview, and then walking out with a defeated look on his face. She saw someone going in for an interview, Then I didn’t come out...
Although she stood here, she seemed to be qualified, and she seemed to be a reserve deacon, but Zhou Fu still didn't know what the standards for Chief Qin were. The whole process made her feel confused.
After everyone had interviewed, there were six people left behind her, and including her, there were seven in total.
In addition to them, Zhou Fuyou noticed that there were as many as four people who went in but did not come out. Thinking of the leader asking her about Zhishengu, she had some guesses about it...
Chief Qin called them into the Medicine Hall, his voice still calm, and announced to them: "Zhou Fu, Wu Yan, and Zheng Jue are the disciples of the deacons, and Wang Yishan, Jian Xun, Li Ergou, and Zhang Lu are the servants. disciple……"
Eventually, Zhou Fu became a disciple of Deacon, and her job was to distribute pills to the disciples every month.
In addition, Zhang Yaotang will conduct an assessment every month, regarding elixirs...
Therefore, compared to the monthly distribution of elixirs, Zhou Fu believed that the monthly assessment seemed more important.
