Chapter 155 The reason for promotion to Yinsha (2/3)
The red walls and green tiles, the sunshine is just right.
A little bird came from nowhere, landed on the eaves and searched around, then spread its wings and flew away.
In the hall, Han Wu, the person in charge of Danningfang City, sat at the top of the list.
Beside him, there was a foundation-building monk wearing a blue gown, looking at the white scroll unfolded in his hand and reciting.
"First place, Guo Zizhen, with a total of 2920 alchemy points."
"Seventh place, Lin Yi, with a total of 2750 alchemy points."
"Ninth place, Shu Jun, with a total of 2750 alchemy points." Alchemy points: 2478 points.”
"Congratulations to the three junior brothers, you have successfully advanced to the next level of the alchemy competition."
The total alchemy points here do not refer to the results in this month, but to the self-denning After the establishment of Fangshi, we have achieved the current results.
As soon as these words came out, some of the people standing in the hall let out a slow breath, as if a big stone had fallen from their hearts.
However, more of those who were unsuccessful had expressions of disappointment and disbelief on their faces.
Among them, even Shu Jun, who had been dissatisfied with Ji Yi before but was now lucky enough to be promoted, could not help but show a hint of surprise when he looked at Lin Yi.
He originally thought that the fifty points gained a month ago would become the key points to separate them.
Therefore, during this period of time, he has been refining alchemy almost every day and night, in order to make up for the possible gap.
But now it seems that he was totally wrong.
In addition to having a very good reputation in the eyes of the disciples, this person seems to be in no hurry at all when it comes to alchemy
Even Junior Brother Lin Yi, who seems a bit lazy, is actually not knowing Unconsciously, so many elixirs were refined.
"On average, he takes 13 Yan Yuan Pills a day. How did he do it? Doesn't he need to practice?"
Shu Jun couldn't figure it out.
"If you had Xuanyang Earth Fire, you could also do this, but it's a pity that you don't."
Facing everyone's gaze, Ji Yi's heart did not waver at all.
However, when he looked at Guo Zizhen on one side, he muttered for no reason.
“I have the help of Xuanyang Earth Fire, so I can make alchemy much faster than ordinary people. How did he do it?
Could it be that this Dan Yuan Most of the direct disciples of the Palace Master also possess spiritual fire.”
Ji Yi secretly thought in his heart.
At this moment, after seeing that the disciples participating in the alchemy conference had calmed down, Han Wu slowly put down the teacup in his hand.
“According to the rules of the alchemy conference, you will be rewarded every time you clear a level. However, due to the special situation this year, the rewards this time have also changed.”
Speaking of this, Han Wu waved his hand and saw three objects glowing with Ye Ye's precious light placed on the table.
Count from left to right.
The first piece is a golden talisman lying in a brocade box, with complex runes carved on it.
Even Ji Yi couldn't help but feel a dazzling feeling when he looked at it, accompanied by a faint stinging feeling.
The second piece is a red sword that is only about the size of a palm. It looks somewhat similar to the Yan Yuan Sword.
However, compared to the Yan Yuan Sword, at first glance, this object looks like a finished product, but if you look closely, you feel that it is not completely finished.
But even so, with his attainments in kendo, Lin Yi felt a sharp edge from the sword.
The third piece is a dark-yellow octagonal shield.
Although, judging from the appearance, it is difficult to find out what is special about it compared with the previous two.
However, the tortoise pattern emerging on the front of the shield looks well-organized and has a mysterious and solid meaning.
“These three items are extraordinary.”
After looking at them carefully, Ji Yi secretly thought in his heart, with a trace of desire in his eyes.
"These three items are the Golden Dragon Talisman, which can exert the power of the later stage of foundation building, the second-level best magic weapon, the Flame Light Fire Yuan Sword, and the turtle elemental trace shield, which is also the second-level best."
Seeing the enthusiasm in the eyes of the foundation-building disciples, Han Wu, who had always seemed cold and stoic, also showed a smile at this moment.
“In order to show fairness, the uses of these three items can only be known after you obtain them and during the sacrifice.
Guo Zizhen, you are the number one in Danningfang City. Name, it can be regarded as a favor for me, so you can choose one of these three items first."
"Yes."
Hearing these words, Guo Zizhen stepped forward without thinking too much. He just glanced at it and picked up the golden dragon talisman.
"Guo Zizhen, thank you Uncle Han for the reward for the sect."
Seeing that even though he won the first place, Guo Zizhen was still neither arrogant nor tired. Han Wu was very impressed by his performance. satisfy.
"Lin Yi, as the second person in Danningfang City, you will be chosen first."
"Yes, Uncle Han."
After hearing these words, Lin Yi bowed respectfully and then came to the sword and shield.
Almost instinctively, Ji Yi stretched out his palm towards the Guiyuan Lost Trace Shield.
After all, with a second-level top-grade defensive magic weapon in hand, even if you are facing a monk in the late stage of foundation building, you can barely resist one or two. However, when Ji Yi's eyes fell on the Yanguang Huoyuan Sword, he didn't know what he thought of and changed his direction again.
“The best defense is offense, take a gamble.”
As soon as he thought of this, Ji Yi took the Yanguang Huoyuan Sword in his hand.
He thought very simply.
In addition to the awkward feeling from the previous observation, the most important thing was that he thought of Guo Zizhen's actions just now.
It is not ruled out that Guo Zizhen, as the disciple of the master of Danyuan Hall, is not short of top-notch defensive magic weapons, but no one would dislike too much of this kind of life-saving thing.
At least, that’s what Ji Yi thinks.
As a result, his direct choice of the Golden Dragon Talisman is somewhat suspicious.
After all, according to Han Wu’s introduction, the Golden Dragon Talisman seems to have the strongest attack, but in fact it is not cost-effective.
As soon as the sword was in hand, what Ji Yi immediately conveyed was not coldness, but a warm feeling like running water.
“It feels like what I’m holding in my hands is not a dead thing.”
Thinking of this, Lin Yi’s eyes moved and he subconsciously looked at Han Wu.
It's a pity that the latter's expression didn't show any emotion, which didn't let him see anything.
"Disciple Lin Yi, thank you Master Han."
Putting the Yanguang Huoyuan Sword back into the storage bag carefully, with the intention of studying it carefully after the meeting, Lin Yi respectfully said After bowing, he returned to his original position.
At the same time, at Han Wu's signal, Shu Jun took the Turtle Origin Mystery Shield back into his arms with a satisfied expression.
“I said before that the rewards this time are different from the past because of the location.
Therefore, other disciples who have not been promoted can receive three bottles of He Yuan Dan as a reward after returning to the sect.
In addition, the merit points you have obtained will be rewarded on a ten-for-one basis based on the current number of alchemy points. "
"Thank you, Master Uncle Han. "
Hearing this, the other disciples who did not receive extra rewards, although they were a little disappointed, still bowed to Han Wu gratefully.
"Now that we have finished talking about the alchemy conference, let's continue. The next step is about the Longbei Mountains. ”
Having said this, Han Wu's expression straightened.
“According to the investigation a few days ago, we found an underground palace that has not been explored yet, but should be extremely large in area, through the ruins near the ground where the evil spirit broke out.
It has now been basically determined that the true source of the evil spirit comes from this underground palace
Because of the existence of this underground palace, the earth veins have been eroded, which has led to the current situation in the Longbei Mountains.
In order to prevent the evil from lingering, the sect decided to send you. After the disciples in the foundation building stage went inside to explore, the specific situation has been further ascertained
Now, if you have any questions, you can ask them. "
"Uncle Han, we are all disciples who are proficient in alchemy, and most of us are in the early stage of foundation building.
Even if we are exploring the underground palace, we should send senior brothers who are in the late stage of foundation building to go there. Could it be that there are changes in the underground palace? "
Seeing Han Wu's gaze, Guo Zizhen sighed in his heart and asked.
"That's a good question. The reason why I sent you is not to send the late-stage Foundation Establishment directly. of monks.
The reason for this is that there is some kind of strange restriction in the Yin Palace.
Due to the existence of this restriction, currently only monks below the middle stage of foundation building can enter.
In addition, there were disciples in the Qi training stage who stepped inside accompanied by disciples in the foundation building stage, but it is a pity."
Having said this, Han Wu paused for a moment. After that, he said rather helplessly
"The Yin evil energy in the Yin Palace is too strong. Even the disciples who have perfected their Qi training are still unable to resist it after taking the Yanyang Pill. The cold power.
Only foundation-building disciples with innate true fire can stay inside for a long time. After our preliminary tests, disciples in the early stage of foundation-building can stay inside for three days.
As for the disciples in the middle and late stages of Foundation Establishment, although they can also advance, under the oppression of that restriction, not only will their cultivation be suppressed, but they will also encounter more erosion from evil spirits. generally.
This is why the disciples in the early stages of foundation building must be sent in first. "
"Uncle Han, in that case, doesn't the sect have a way to lift the restriction and increase the upper limit of the cultivation level of those who enter? "
Jin Yi thought about the magical weapon he had just obtained, and estimated that he would probably not be able to escape this time, and asked further.
"Although the restrictions in the underground palace are complicated, if you want to break them, you can still break them. It just takes a lot of time.
And just a few days before I presented you with the awards, the other two major sects, as well as some nearby The small sect has sent people here.”
Having said this, Han Wu’s expression gradually became serious.
“I think you should also know that under the erosion of the evil spirit, the spiritual plants in the Longbei Mountains undergo strange transformations, causing the power of the soul to greatly increase.
If Just like that, with the foundation of our Danxia Sect, we can let those casual cultivators or small sects go in first to explore the way.
However, based on the information the elders in the sect have inferred from the underground palace currently explored, this underground palace is extremely old.
This palace was most likely built three thousand years ago, and at that time our Danxia Sect had not yet been formally established. ”
