Chapter 260 [(*^▽^*)]
Everyone was arguing loudly, without any sign of restraint, and they didn't care whether the person they were talking about could hear them. If they could attract Ming Fanxing's attention, perhaps they would win.
"They are probably less than 30 years old."
"It would be great if they could be pulled over."
"Don't dream, didn't you see that the leader was Taoist Zhang?"
"Oh, it's him. When he went to Shenwu Island, I thought he wouldn't be back for a short time. I didn't expect it to be only ten years."
"Haha, he looks so happy, the second-level third-grade alchemist must be brought by him, after all, the other two don't look good."
"Haha, really."
Ming Fanxing was not interested in these unconcealed conversations at all, and even observed the surroundings with interest. There were many shops here, and there were a lot of monks.
There were also some inns for rest and restaurants for eating.
There were especially many cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage, but there were also quite a few in the Foundation Establishment Stage, at least much more than what he had seen in the Imperial City. You have to know that this was just a town. The
Xingguang Town that Zhang Laodao had mentioned before.
Along the way, he saw many stalls buying some monsters, which seemed to be sea monsters. Sure enough...
Xingguang Town was a town by the sea, and so many cultivators gathered here, it must be because they could hunt monsters and earn spirit stones.
Otherwise, how could so many cultivators come here just because of the teleportation arrays on the three islands?
Zhang Laodao led them through a bustling square outside the teleportation array, ignoring all sights, and walked straight ahead after reaching the intersection.
When we reached the end of the road, we saw a building. It was obvious that this building was the most luxurious and tallest building in the area, or in the entire Xingguang Town.
Write to the Alchemist Association.
Zhang Laodao stroked his beard and looked at the attic with a smile, "Everyone, follow me in."
Walking into the gate, the fragrance of elixir filled the air and made us feel refreshed. Everyone could see that this was where elixirs were sold. The first floor sold first-grade elixirs. I think the second floor should be second-grade, and the third floor is third-grade.
There is definitely no fourth-grade elixir, and even if it is a third-grade elixir, it is estimated that there are very few. After all, Ming Fanxing did not see any Jindan-stage cultivators along the way.
But there will be occasional Jindan cultivators passing by, right?
After Zhang Laodao led them to say hello to someone, he led them through the innermost door and walked inside in many twists and turns.
When they came out, the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
It turned out that there was a different world inside the Alchemist Association's shop. In front of them was a spacious courtyard, with rugged rockery and flowing water in the distance, and flowers blooming nearby.
There was also the green jade brick under their feet, and every detail showed the generosity of the Alchemist Association. There
were also some decorative bells hanging on the eaves, which were actually low-grade spiritual treasures, but were carved to look like bells.
By the way, can these low-grade spiritual treasure bells be taken down to attack?
Taoist Zhang looked at Ming Fanxing and another woman who was traveling with him, "You two, follow me."
The two of them followed Taoist Zhang and left, and the other two groups of people also left indignantly. They actually didn't find a good seedling this time.
There are a total of ten places in the Alchemist Association, and Fengwu Country occupies three of them, with only Ming Fanxing as a disciple, while the other two countries have a total of five disciples, excluding the team leader.
Add up to six.
Only Ming Fanxing is a second-level third-grade, and there are two first-level third-grade disciples. The remaining three did not pass the assessment, but were considered to have good talents, so they were brought together.
You must know that what Duan Chongbei told him at the beginning was that it is really difficult to become an alchemist. Many conditions must be met at the same time, and one must have alchemy talent.
So even if it is Fengwu Country.
So far, among the alchemists in the foundation-building period, only Duan Chongbei is a second-level third-grade alchemist, and there are a few first-level third-grade alchemists in the foundation-building period. As for
the Qi Condensation period, the number did not increase before Ming Fanxing left, which shows how difficult it is to become a formal alchemist. The
other two countries are even worse, with not many alchemists, and they don’t even have a decent spiritual medicine garden, which leads to them not being able to cultivate any good alchemists.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without complete spiritual herbs, what can she use to cultivate?
Of course, we can’t say too much. Maybe the two countries are not without other alchemists, but they have no ambition and are unwilling to come to Han Gu Continent, so they stay in Shenwu Island.
And those who came here are all ambitious, at least they have ambitions. They can't pass the assessment of the first-level third-grade alchemist now, but it may not be the case in the future. Maybe they can pass it after a while?
Of course, such a statement is obviously unrealistic.
But to be honest, for these disciples who were brought here, to become a first-level third-grade alchemist, since they were chosen to come to the Han Gu Continent, it should be... not a big problem.
Ming Fanxing followed Zhang Laodao and walked a long way back.
Along the way, the only feeling Ming Fanxing had was... the Alchemist Association is really rich. You have to know that this is just an elixir shop of the Alchemist Association in a coastal town. The
Alchemist Association's shops here are so luxurious, not to mention the Alchemist Association's shops in big cities and the headquarters. I really want to go and see it quickly.
Taoist Zhang brought them to a quiet courtyard, "You can pick any guest room in this courtyard."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Okay, senior."
Taoist Zhang chuckled, "You don't have to call me senior, we're both in the foundation-building stage, so just call me senior brother."
Ming Fanxing walked down the stairs, "Then I'm welcome, Senior Brother Zhang."
Taoist Zhang's face was full of smiles.
"It's okay, you can go and have a rest. In a few days, the teleportation array can be opened to take you out of Xingguang Town. There is a teleportation array in this store that can directly reach the headquarters of the Alchemist Association. "
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Just send someone to notify me when the time comes."
Zhang Lao said, "Okay, by the way... If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk, but you must not leave the scope of Xingguang Town."
Ming Fanxing agreed, "I understand."
He randomly picked a house and pushed the door open. Taoist Zhang smiled and turned to look at the woman behind him, "How is it?"
The woman covered her mouth and laughed, "As expected of you, Senior Brother Zhang. This luck is really not comparable to that of ordinary people. This time when I come back, the manager of the Alchemist Association store in Xingguang Town must be Senior Brother Zhang."
Taoist Zhang laughed, "Not bad, not bad, it's good to stay here, it's comfortable, and I don't want those rats to play tricks on me again."
He smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, this time I'm sorry to have you go to Shenwu Island with me. You must be tired all the way, you should go and rest."
"You will stay in this store with me later. Although it's just a store in Xingguang Town, it's very prosperous here, so it's not too unfair."
"Brother Zhang, you are joking. With my ordinary qualifications, it is already good enough for me to stay here."
Taoist Zhang stopped talking about this. "Okay, go ahead. You have suffered so much over the years."
The woman smiled and said nothing more. She turned around and left.
She was different from Ming Fanxing. Ming Fanxing had excellent qualifications. She could become a second-level third-grade alchemist just after the foundation-building period, especially... she passed the assessment with the foundation-building pill.
Even if she went to the headquarters, she would have a place. It was different from her... Although
Taoist Zhang was also a second-level third-grade alchemist, he could not steadily refine the third-grade foundation-building pill. The grade of the foundation-building pill he refined was not even comparable to Duan Chongbei of Fengwu Country.
And she was only a first-level third-grade alchemist.
He originally lived in this Xingguang Town and had his own residence in the town. Although he had been away for many years, this residence had not been occupied by anyone.
Ming Fanxing did not do anything else indoors, but just sat cross-legged in meditation. The Taiyin clone in the space was constantly refining the second-level Cleansing Marrow Pill and the Gathering Spirit Pill.
He has not yet fully mastered the limits of these two pills, and there is still room for improvement. Of course, he can still refine some first-level pills.
After all, he had refined the first-level fourth-grade Cleansing Marrow Pill and the True Essence Pill before. Now he is in the foundation-building stage. If nothing unexpected happens... maybe he can refine the fifth-grade pill?
After refining it for several times, he found that most of the pills were of the third grade, and the number of fourth-grade pills was about three per furnace. As for the fifth-grade pills... naturally there was none.
But the number of fourth-grade pills was more.
Maybe he was not familiar with it now, but after refining more pills, the first-grade fifth-grade pill would
definitely be no problem. What about the first-grade top-grade pill? This... I guess I can only think about it after I reach the Golden Core Stage.
However, refining first-grade pills is just for adjusting his condition. He still spends most of his time refining second-grade pills.
This is his top priority now. As for the foundation-building pills...
unfortunately, after some spiritual plants were planted, although the growth rate was ten times that of the original, there were still a few scattered medicinal materials and not many.
Especially the three main medicines, it will take some time to be stable.
If possible, see if you can buy new ones, so that there are more, you can pick more, and keep refining foundation-building pills.
Now the foundation-building pill is the most complex and difficult pill he can get, and it is also the best way for him to improve his strength at this time.
Especially the foundation-building pill, no matter how much you refine, it will never be too much. There are
so many cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage, and all the cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage are eager to have a foundation-building pill, especially the third-grade one.
At this time.
Qin Jiuzhou and Ming Yufeng were still in the square outside the teleportation formation. They stood in a corner and observed the people from the major sects recruiting disciples.
There are not many powerful sects, only a few in number. As for the big families, there are other families besides the Hua family and the Fang family, but they only know these two families for now.
The two communicated through telepathy.
Qin Jiuzhou, "Just now, that Taoist Zhang sent me a message, you should have received it too?"
Ming Yufeng said, "Yes, he told me to choose Linfeng Pavilion."
