Chapter 957: The Palace in Charge
As the four of Fairy Yuan walked and stopped, the faces of the Cangwu Immortal Sect came into Ye Chunyang's eyes one by one.
However, Ye Chunyang did not show too much surprise, but secretly thought that in addition to testing the alchemist to get a name to accompany Elder Mo to Xuanhuang Mountain during this trip, he might also find an opportunity to exchange skills with the elders of this sect. I believe that this sect The inheritance of ancient Taoism will be of great benefit to you.
He silently followed the four of them. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one could tell that his true state was that of an ancestor at the Nascent Soul level. After leading him through several long corridors, Fairy Yuan and the four finally stopped in front of a magnificent palace. Outside the hall, many foreign monks flew in and out, and there were also some high-level monks from the Cangwu Immortal Sect who were maintaining order in the surrounding area.
"These are the alchemists who came to me to take part in the assessment. This time, Elder Mo's recruitment information has been sent to all sects, and many small sects and clans have come." Fairy Yuan explained to Ye Chunyang, "The person in charge is in front of you. Brother Ye, please come with me. The four of us also need to hand over tasks to the elders."
Ye Chunyang nodded and followed the four people into the hall without saying anything else.
The main hall was bustling with people, and many monks were whispering to each other, looking excited. At the front of the hall, three monks in the early stage of Nascent Soul were sitting quietly, each with a stone desk in front of them, registering the monks who came to report.
"See Elder Yu, the four of us have completed their mission of hunting down the element-devouring beast, and are here to hand over the task."
Fairy Yuan and the young men in gray bowed their hands to the white-haired old man on the left and right.
"Oh, you have killed the Yuan Devouring Beast. Very good. Bring the inner elixir over and let me take a look!" The white-haired old man looked up at them and said numbly.
The four of them did not dare to be negligent and presented the inner elixir of the Yuan Devouring Beast to them respectfully.
The white-haired old man inspected it with slightly raised eyebrows, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and he treated the four people with a somewhat kind expression: "Yes, it is indeed the inner elixir of the Yuan Devouring Beast. This beast has reached the third intermediate level. , it’s a good achievement for the four of you to kill him, but to become Senior Brother Mo’s direct disciple, it’s not enough to just complete the task, you must pass the next round of assessment.”
"Yes, the four juniors should work hard!" Fairy Yuan said excitedly.
She looked at Ye Chunyang next to her with gratitude. Without his help during this trip, it was still a matter of time to say whether she could come back alive, not to mention completing the task.
"Who is this?"
The white-haired old man also noticed Ye Chunyang at this time, and his eyes showed a sharp look when he saw his unfamiliar face.
"Returning to the elder, this is Ye Chunyang, Fellow Daoist Ye. He has been a life-saver to us during our mission. Because he has always practiced alone, the four juniors boldly brought him back and introduced him to the sect. "
Fairy Yuan and the four others looked solemn, and each told the white-haired old man about Ye Chunyang's situation.
Ye Chunyang also gave this person a gift.
"It turns out that you are a casual cultivator who can practice alone to the stage of forming a pill. It seems that your talent and perseverance are incomparable to others. Although the conditions for recruiting people in our Cangwu Immortal Sect are harsh, we have relaxed the conditions for some casual cultivators with strong talents. "Yes." The white-haired old man stroked his beard, and his eyes softened slightly after scanning Ye Chunyang's body.
Casual cultivators have no resource background and belong to the wild way. Most of them are incompetent. It is rare to be able to cultivate to the alchemy stage. The person in front of me seems to have such cultivation at a young age, which shows his strong talent.
Moreover, there are not without powerful people among the casual cultivators. In the Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty, there once appeared a world-famous late-stage Nascent Soul casual cultivator. It is said that this cultivator was expected to advance to become a god and ascend to the spiritual world, but his fate was unknown later. What happened was an accident and it has disappeared since then.
This is also the reason why casual cultivators, instead of being discriminated against in the Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty, are highly valued by various sects. Of course, this is only limited to high-level casual cultivators, and the rest are ignored.
"Elder Yu, thank you very much. It's a fluke that I can cultivate the golden elixir. I don't dare to be arrogant." Ye Chunyang said modestly.
"Hehe, all the casual cultivators above the pill-formation stage have always been unruly. You are neither arrogant nor impetuous, but have a good character. Our Cangwu Immortal Sect can accept you, but since you have just started, we cannot give you the core identity for the time being. , It remains to be seen whether you can get more treatment if you temporarily practice in the inner sect." The white-haired old man applauded and said sternly at the same time.
"Yes, I understand." Ye Chunyang said with a slight smile.
Seeing that the introduction went smoothly, Fairy Yuan and the young man in gray looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Reporting to the elder, my disciple has something else to tell you. In addition to joining our sect, Fellow Daoist Ye is here to take part in the alchemist assessment set up by Elder Mo." Fairy Yuan smiled sweetly and saluted the white-haired old man.
"Can you make pills?"
The white-haired old man looked at Ye Chunyang, feeling deeply surprised.
"Know a thing or two." Ye Chunyang chuckled and said calmly.
The white-haired old man was a little surprised. It was not easy for casual cultivators to cultivate golden elixirs, let alone practice alchemy. It seemed that it was not easy for casual cultivators named Ye.
After staring at Ye Chunyang for a long time, he finally nodded and said: "Since you are an alchemist, there is no problem in participating in Senior Brother Mo's alchemy assessment. However, I have to remind you that there are not a few alchemists coming to take part in the assessment this time. , They all come from various clans and sects, whether you can defeat them depends on whether your foundation is strong enough. "
The white-haired old man chuckled twice and threw two tokens, one black and one white, to Ye Chunyang: "These two tokens are the identity of the inner disciples and the pass for the alchemist examination. You will hold these tokens after three days." You can enter after arriving at the Dan Pagoda.”
Ye Chunyang took the token, pretending to be nervous, and thanked him: "Thank you for your reminder, elder. I will do my best."
"Okay, you guys go down. The second round of the assessment will be in a few days. You need to be prepared. In addition, you can arrange Ye Chunyang's residence." The white-haired old man waved at the few people, signaling them to leave.
Yuan Xianzi and others did not stay for long. They bowed and left the palace.
Ye Chunyang put away the token, a trace of deepness flashed in his eyes, and he left slowly with the four people.
Passing through the hall, Ye Chunyang clearly saw that the eyes of the surrounding cultivators were looking at him vaguely, either in surprise or amazement. With Ye Chunyang's status and cultivation, he naturally would not pay much attention to these eyes.
After leaving the palace, the gray-clothed young man and the other two cultivators also went back to adjust their breath and recover. They said goodbye separately. Finally, Yuan Xianzi took Ye Chunyang to his residence.
"Brother Ye, I can only help you up to this point. The next alchemist assessment is up to you. If you need anything in the future, you can come to us at any time."
Stopped outside a courtyard, Fairy Yuan smiled and spoke to Ye Chunyang.
"Thank you, Fairy." Ye Chunyang bowed his hands and said kindly.
"Brother Ye, you are too polite. Although we have known each other for a short time, I admire your character very much. We should support each other in the future." Fairy Yuan waved her jade hand indifferently.
At this point, she seemed to remember something, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "But then again, if the four of us can continue to complete the task in the next assessment, and Brother Ye can also stand out in the alchemist assessment, maybe we can go to Xuanhuang Mountain together for training."
"What is the content of the next assessment, Fairy?" Ye Chunyang asked with a thought in his heart.
"It is not clear at the moment, but Elder Mo has always been strict in accepting disciples. The next assessment may be much more difficult than the first round. Whether it can be passed smoothly is still unknown." Fairy Yuan shook her head solemnly.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he frowned and said nothing.
"Brother Ye, you must be tired after traveling all the way. Why don't you rest early? The alchemist assessment will be held at the same time as our disciples' second round of assessment in three days. Take good care of yourself, brother Ye." Fairy Yuan smiled, and did not talk to Ye Chunyang in depth. Finally, she introduced the sect rules and some precautions of Cangwu Xianzong to him and left.
Ye Chunyang did not try to keep her. After watching the girl leave, he walked into the courtyard alone.
The inner disciples of Cangwu Xianzong can have independent residences, and the conditions for cultivation are much better than those of outer disciples. When Ye Chunyang pushed the door in, he saw that all kinds of facilities were available, and there was even a good quality alchemy furnace, which looked like it was used for alchemists participating in the assessment.
Ye Chunyang did not care much about these external conditions, and he did not feel any difference from being an elder of a sect to an ordinary disciple. He was only here for a place in Xuanhuang Mountain, and keeping a low profile would be more conducive to his own actions.
However, he did not intend to pretend to be a disciple of Cangwu Immortal Sect all the time. After this matter was over, he still had to do his own thing.
Having made a plan in his mind, Ye Chunyang immediately sat in meditation on the couch. After a while, a golden light flashed on his body, and Ye Xiaobao appeared immediately.
After Xiaobao appeared, the spiritual light flickered slightly, and then shook slightly, turned into a faint light and drilled into the space jade gourd, holding the spiritual spoon to ripen the spiritual grass in the space spiritual field.
Although only some Jindan stage cultivators will participate in the alchemy assessment in three days, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty, and those alchemists are all from the clans. It is hard to guarantee that there will not be some talented monsters. Ye Chunyang hid his identity this time, so it is naturally impossible for him to refine Yuanying-level pills in the assessment. In this case, he must be fully prepared.
The quota of Xuanhuang Mountain is very important, and he does not want to capsize in the gutter.
Fortunately, with the killer weapon of the Spiritual Spoon for ripening and the Ancient Recipes of the Holy Patterned Cauldron, Ye Chunyang believed that there were only a few people in the world who could compete with him in alchemy, and he would definitely get a place in this assessment.
"It is said that Elder Mo is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. I don't know what kind of skills he practiced. He was able to find the location of Xuanhuang Mountain and come and go freely. It seems that the Cangwu Immortal Sect is really full of powerful people."
Ye Chunyang's face showed a deep look, thinking about the information he had heard about Elder Mo in recent days.
This person seems to be an alchemist, and he is quite famous in the Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty. This assessment should be presided over by him personally.
However, Ye Chunyang was not worried. Now that his skills have greatly improved, even if Elder Mo has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he will never be able to see through his identity.
After thinking about this, Ye Chunyang immediately entered into a state of concentration and drove away all distracting thoughts.
