Chapter 234: Counting the Harvest (asking for monthly tickets)
The Fire Hall.
"I didn't expect that this year we would have three B-grades and four C-grades. This is the best year for new disciples in the past ten years."
Wang Dongliang spoke with a smile, and the other five people also showed expressions of agreement.
Even though there are nearly a hundred newcomers taking the assessment every year, less than one in ten can pass, and in the past there was usually only one person who got a B grade. Having three this year is already very good.
As for the higher-level A-grade ones, it takes a hundred years or even longer to meet one of them. It is a rare opportunity.
"Hey, this kid is still refining the elixir, and it looks like he's about to succeed."
Wang Dongliang's eyes fell on Chu Ning's light curtain. In the light curtain, Chu Ning was taking the final step, which was to give the elixir a spirit.
In order for a fourth-grade elixir to become a pill, it must have spirituality.
"Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, you can refine a fourth-grade elixir. This is quite good. If you succeed, you should be able to get a C-grade elixir."
"It's just a trick. He relies on the power of the earth fire. Based on this man's previous attitude, he will be given a D grade at most." The man in white glanced at the light curtain and said lightly.
With their eyesight, they could naturally see that Chu Ning was able to give the elixir spirituality by relying on the power of the earth fire rather than his own strength.
"This little guy is not even a Nascent Soul. Without the help of the power of the earth fire, it is impossible for the elixir to have spirituality. Brother Chen, what you said is biased." The old man in green clothes leaning on the left said with a smile.
"Anyway, this person's attitude towards alchemy is not up to standard in my opinion. If you have different opinions, feel free to give different ratings."
The man in white spoke firmly, and Sun Chengyang did not refute him, but just smiled faintly. He just said casually that although the little guy was good at refining fourth-grade elixirs in the Jindan realm, such alchemists could be found everywhere in the Dan domain.
However, few alchemists outside the Dan Domain can do this, so he is not tempted by it.
According to the rules of Xinhuo Hall, if one of the six reviewers gives an unqualified grade, the exam will be considered unqualified.
Of course, if such a rating was really given intentionally, the other five people can discuss if they have different opinions. If they still cannot reach a consensus, they can report to Danta for a decision.
As for Sun Chengyang, he would not argue with Chen An for this young man, or even go to Danta to make a scene.
"I am curious about who gave this little fellow the assessment jade slip."
Sun Chengyang smiled and said that these jade slips were not possessed by any alchemist in Danyu. Those who left the jade slips were those who thought that the alchemist had potential, but did not meet the requirements at that time, so they gave him a last chance.
"It's not difficult to know who gave the jade slip."
Wang Dongliang raised his right hand, and a name appeared in the upper left corner of the light curtain where Chu Ning's figure was: Lan Fulai.
"It turned out to be the jade slip given by Fellow Daoist Lan."
When Wang Dongliang and the other six saw this name, there was surprise in their eyes. The name Lan Fulai was also quite famous in Dan Domain. As an alchemist who came to Dan Domain from the Lower Domain, he won the B grade in the first Alchemist Competition, which caused quite a stir.
"Chengshan Region? If I remember correctly, Fellow Daoist Lan is also from Chengshan Region. Maybe Fellow Daoist Lan wants to help the younger generation."
Sun Chengyang chuckled, and his words made Chen An's face freeze. If this man was really Lan Fulai's junior, and Fellow Daoist Lan wanted to promote him, he would simply reject him. If Lan Fulai found out by then, it would probably bring him some trouble.
"For Fellow Daoist Lan's sake, as long as he can succeed in refining it, I can give him a D grade."
Chen An changed his tone, and Sun Chengyang smiled slightly. Chen An didn't know the situation, but he knew the truth.
Fellow Daoist Lan has no descendants in Chengshan Domain at all. He himself came from the Lower Domain and knows how difficult it is for alchemists from the Lower Domain to enter the Dan Domain.
He just didn't want to let this young man lose the opportunity to enter the Dan Realm because of Chen An's preconceived prejudice.
The other five people present were all born in the Dan Realm and did not know the hardships of the alchemists in the lower realms, but he understood that being able to refine fourth-grade elixirs at the Golden Core Realm was enough to show his talent.
However, he did not want to make enemies with Chen An, so when he saw the light screen showing that the young man was from Chengshan Region, he deliberately asked who gave him the jade slip.
Two months later.
In the light curtain, Chu Ning opened the furnace, and a five-element pill appeared in the furnace.
"Everyone, please rate it."
Wang Dongliang laughed, and Chen An spoke first: "Level D."
“Second.”
“Second.”
"Since you all gave it a D grade, I'll give it a C grade. It won't make a difference anyway."
Sun Chengyang said with a smile, and his words made the other five people look at him inquiringly.
According to the rules of Xinhuo Hall, there can only be one final rating. The five of them are all Class D, and the Class C given by Sun Chengyang does not affect the final rating.
But when they passed the information to the D-level sects in Danyu, these sects could see the ratings given by the six of them. If there was a C-level, it would attract the special attention of these D-level sects.
"Then send it to those sects."
Wang Dongliang laughed, formed a seal with his right hand, and the light curtain began to slowly close, and finally turned into a jade slip.
Then Wang Dongliang placed the jade slip in the last of the four pools emitting mist in the middle of the hall.
This is a Class D pool.
When a newcomer is thrown into the pool, all D-level sects will be able to see the newcomer's alchemy process. If they are particularly satisfied, they can use their power of selection to select the newcomer and personally take him to the alchemy area.
Using the right to select means that if there is a more amazing talent later, others will not be able to compete with others if they also use the right to select.
Therefore, even if it is only a D-level sect, it would want to recruit the most talented disciple among the D-level disciples and would not easily use the right to select.
If you do not use your right to choose, Xinhuo Hall will arrange people to pick you up. If you are lucky, it may only take a few years, but if you are unlucky, you may have to wait for decades.
Three days later, seeing that no D-level sect had used the right to elect, Chen An smiled and said, "It seems that these sects have the same opinion as us and have no intention of using the right to elect."
When Chen An said this, he looked at Sun Chengyang deliberately. Sun Chengyang smiled. He knew that Chen An said this deliberately for him to hear.
I wanted to say that I had misjudged him and that the young man was not a genius at all.
…
…
Chengshan Region, Jinyang City.
At this moment, the atmosphere among the monks in the whole city was pushed to the extreme.
When the alchemy furnace was opened, the fourth-grade pill floated out of the furnace, and all the alchemists were extremely excited.
Chu Ning created a new record in the alchemy circle of Chengshan Domain.
Refining fourth-grade elixir at the Golden Elixir realm.
This will be a great encouragement to the alchemists in Chengshan Domain.
“He really did it.”
Xu Ruobing's eyes sparkled. When Xu Hongsheng saw his daughter's appearance, he felt a little jealous. When he broke through to the Golden Core Realm, his daughter didn't seem to be so happy.
Sad.
In Jinyang City, Zhao Yangming and You Xing, the master and disciple who had already come down from the mountains, also had shock in their eyes.
"This kid Chu Ning is really...really..."
Zhao Yangming didn't know what to say, he just kept mumbling: "Old Xie... Old Xie really accepted a good disciple."
There was fighting spirit in You Xing's eyes. Although the gap between Fellow Daoist Chu and him in alchemy was getting bigger and bigger, he was not discouraged by this. Instead, it made him more motivated in alchemy.
I am not diligent enough and need to study harder.
On the mountain top, Qi Xuemei and Meng Heshu also had smiles on their faces. Chu Ning had refined a fourth-grade elixir, which meant that the crisis this time had been resolved.
After passing the Danyu assessment, the man from Zixiao Sect no longer dared to attack Chu Ning.
It doesn't mean that as long as the alchemist is from the Dan Domain, the strong people from other domains cannot take action. The Dan Domain is not so domineering. The Dan Domain protects the newcomers.
In the previous life, it is actually equivalent to the protection of college students. If an adult is cheated or cheated in society, it will not have much impact, but if the title becomes college students, the impact will be huge in an instant.
In the sky, Zhuo Jincheng had an extremely ugly expression. He did not expect that Chu Ning could really refine a fourth-grade elixir, and so smoothly and without any disturbance.
"Chu Ning, you'd better stay in Danyu and pray that I don't run into you."
After Zhuo Jincheng threw down these words, he turned around and stepped into the vortex in the sky. There was no point in staying in Chengshan Region any longer.
Chu Ning listened to the harsh words Zhuo Jincheng said before leaving, and curled his lips. Sorry, what he was best at was staying in the safe zone and not going out.
"Chu Ning, good job. Come visit me at Wentianmen when you have time. I'm leaving first."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As soon as Zhuo Jincheng left, Meng Heshu laughed heartily, and then he and Meng Yang flew away.
"Thank you, Senior Meng. I will go there when I have time."
Chu Ning nodded, and Qi Xuemei did not stay any longer. She felt the burning gazes of the alchemists in Jinyang City at this moment, and smiled slightly: "Remember to go back to Xiyue Sect."
After Qi Xuemei and Meng Heshu left, although Feng Jiangcheng wanted to mend his relationship with Chu Ning, he couldn't bring himself to do so. After all, there were so many people at the scene, and he still had to maintain the dignity of a Nascent Soul expert. So he left silently alone.
As soon as the three Nascent Soul cultivators left, the atmosphere on the scene became even more heated, especially for the third-grade alchemist in Jinyang City, who appeared on the mountain peak at the first moment.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chu for successfully refining a fourth-grade elixir and reaching the pinnacle of alchemy."
These third-grade alchemists all congratulated him. This is how the alchemy circle is. Whoever makes the best elixir will be respected.
There is no shortcut to alchemy, and it is useless even if you come from a big family without talent.
Chu Ning smiled slightly and said, "Let's encourage each other."
…
…
Three days later, Jinyang City.
Chu Ning was in a mansion, feeling somewhat confused. According to what his master said, since he succeeded in refining the elixir, shouldn't Danyu send someone to find him?
Three days have passed, it should be time now.
He was the person who came to pick me up, but got delayed on the way?
Chu Ning could only think so, but he was not in a hurry. Since the seniors from Danyu had not arrived yet, it was just a good time for him to study in Tangshan for some time to develop.
After bidding farewell to Master and Disciple Zhao Yangming and You Xing, Chu Ning returned to Xiyue Sect.
When Chu Ning returned to Xiyue Sect, he did not make a big fanfare. Apart from Sect Master Fei Yuelan and Duan Yurong, only Qi Xuemei knew that Chu Ning was back.
The next day.
There is one more grave on Tangshan Mountain.
【Tomb of Mr. Xie Shouping】
This is the sixteenth tomb on Nian Tang Mountain.
Chu Ning talked with his master in front of the tomb for a long time, and then returned to the cave.
He was about to start counting the gains from this battle.
There are eight storage bags, including one that belongs to a Nascent Soul expert.
Chu Ning opened them one by one like opening a blind box, with a big smile on his face.
Killing people and stealing their goods is really the best way to get rich quickly.
The good things in the possession of the other six Jindan cultivators were extremely valuable, and one of them even had a broken lotus root.
Broken lotus root wood is used for refining weapons, and can also be used on puppets. His puppet was smashed to pieces by Yue Yaotian, and this broken lotus root wood can just repair the puppet.
In addition to the broken lotus root wood, there are several other rare items that make Chu Ning's eyes light up.
"Yue Yaotian, as the young master of Xuantian Sect, he should have a lot of good things on him."
Chu Ning took out Yue Yaotian’s storage bag, put his spiritual sense into it, and the next moment the smile on his face became even happier.
Big fat fish.
Yue Yaotian is worthy of being the young sect leader, there are really a lot of good things in his storage bag.
There are dozens of spiritual weapons, and the materials for refining weapons and pills, including formations, are all piled up, and they are all precious materials that are extremely hard to find.
At the same time, there were more than a dozen jade slips that made Chu Ning happy. Among these jade slips, there was one that recorded the refining technique of the Broken Dao Sword that he had obtained from the elder of Xuantian Sect.
The Broken Dao Sword is a complete magic weapon.
With this refining technique, it means that he will have another complete magic weapon.
In addition, Yue Yaotian's storage bag also gave Chu Ning a surprise. There was a jade pot in the storage bag, which contained a pot of five-colored liquid.
Infant fluid.
The things used to form a baby are extremely precious and can increase the success rate of forming a baby.
Obviously, this was prepared by Xuantian Sect for Yue Yaotian to form a baby, but now it is getting a good deal for himself.
After admiring Yue Yaotian's good things, Chu Ning's eyes finally fell on the purple storage bag.
Yue Canghai’s storage bag, the storage bag of a Nascent Soul expert, is also what he is most looking forward to in this inventory.
But the next moment, Chu Ning's mouth twitched, his expression became a little embarrassed, and he failed.
His spiritual sense could not enter this purple storage bag.
With his attainments in formations, he could determine that the storage bag had no restrictions that restricted his spiritual sense from entering, and it was purely because his realm was not high enough.
In other words, if he wants his spiritual consciousness to enter the storage bag, he needs to be at the Nascent Soul stage, or he can choose to ask other Nascent Soul powerhouses for help to take out the things in the storage bag.
Chu Ning believed that if he asked Senior Qi for help, Senior Qi would be willing to help. However, after thinking for a while, he finally gave up this option.
Although it is unlikely that Senior Qi would be interested in the good things in Yue Canghai's storage bag, there is no need for him to take the risk.
The second thing is the things in Yue Canghai’s storage bag. I’m afraid that many of them can only be used in the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if I take them out now, I can’t use them. So I might as well not take them and open the blind box after entering the Nascent Soul Realm.
…
…
The sun sets and the moon rises.
Ten years later, a vortex appeared in the sky above Chengshan Territory.
