White Jade Jingjing Room.
Zheng Yi looked at the exhausted black jade king cauldron in front of him, expressionlessly activated his magic power, and dripped his own essence and blood into it.
In the Black Jade King Cauldron, the Nine Infant Fruit of Samsara has grown into a small tree as tall as a person. It is green and shaped like a jade tree and looks very delicate.
There is also a refreshing fragrance between the nose, which smells sweet and refreshing, making people feel refreshed.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
After a full day and night, Zheng Yi's complexion became a little pale.
Thirty-five hundred drops of essence and blood were all dripped into the black jade king cauldron to nourish the nine-infant fruit of reincarnation.
Zheng Yi's own life span is only more than a hundred years, which is enough.
After all, the new female talent show is about to begin, and there are still a large number of female talent waiting for him.
"Huh..."
Taking a long breath and looking at the black jade king cauldron in front of him, Zheng Yi murmured: "The black jade king cauldron is not suitable for the survival of the Samsara Nine Infant Fruit. It seems that this time the Samsara Nine Infant Fruit will have to be transplanted to Tianshou Mountain. ”
"Only Tianshou Mountain is suitable for the growth of the Nine Infant Fruit of Samsara."
Zheng Yi had already planned to transplant the Nine Infant Fruit of Samsara into Tianshou Mountain, but unfortunately there were many mundane matters.
Now that the Samsara Nine Infant Fruit has grown into a sapling, the Black Jade King Cauldron is no longer suitable for it and must be transplanted as soon as possible.
"Thirty-five hundred drops of essence and blood are only one-third of the maturity of the Nine Infant Fruit of Samsara."
"It's still very early for it to fully mature."
"But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As long as you continue to cultivate it, the Nine Infant Fruit of Samsara will mature sooner or later!"
Zheng Yi's eyes flashed, and he turned his hand again, and a snake egg that was as tall as half a man appeared in his hand.
"Spirit snake eggs..."
He squeezed out a drop of blood again and drew a talisman with his hands. A bloody talisman floated quietly to the snake egg and slowly blended in.
Blood sacrifice to snake eggs.
Seven days later.
With seven drops of essence and blood dripping down, the preliminary blood sacrifice for this snake egg has been completed.
Next, it is a water grinding process to continue the blood sacrifice until it hatches.
"Now there are still matters about the military parade and the female talent show. After these two things are over, I will start to retreat for a long time."
"The goal of this retreat is to build a foundation!"
"Before that, there are still some small things to resolve."
In Yuelong Palace, seven boys and girls gathered together and looked outside the palace from time to time.
Among them, four men and three women were separated.
The four teenagers actually divided into two factions.
Xu Fengxiong naturally stood with Zheng Chengwen, and two people like Tong Tao and Shi Xiaofeng, who were from ordinary backgrounds, naturally got together.
The two of them are far inferior to Xu Fengxiong and Zheng Chengwen in terms of background and family, so getting together is just a subconscious act.
"Brother Xu, what do you mean by His Majesty summoning us this time?"
Your Highness, Zheng Chengwen held a folding fan and shook it gently, looking elegant and graceful.
He was originally a scion of the royal family, and his grandfather was Prince Xian, a congenitally strong man who was in charge of Black Mountain City, but his temperament was also infected with Prince Xian's laid-back personality.
If he hadn't been selected to have spiritual roots, he would have already placed his love in landscapes, poetry and prose.
Although Xu Mujun was a warrior, he did not dislike the heir apparent Zheng Chengwen, who had such a laid-back personality.
"I don't know, maybe it's to test the progress of our cultivation."
"Cultivating progress..."
Zheng Chengwu's expression immediately changed, he glanced around and whispered: "Brother Xu, among the seven of us, you are the one who has made the fastest progress in cultivation. I will have to say something nice for my little brother in front of His Majesty later. ! ”
The corner of Xu Mujun's mouth twitched and said: "Your Majesty, you are an heir of the royal family. How can His Majesty blame you?"
"But having said that, Your Majesty, your spiritual root qualifications are good, but your temperament is too lazy. It took two years to reach the middle stage of Qi training. This..."
Zheng Chengwen spread his hands and said: "My prince doesn't like to practice. Hehehe, if it weren't for the three beautiful ladies here, you would be my prince~"
As he spoke, he deliberately touched Xu Mujun, nuzzled his lips in the direction of Lu Qing'er's three daughters, and whispered: "Brother Xu, which one of these three women do you think has the most proud appearance?"
Xu Mujun's expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty, please be silent. We are all fellow Taoists. You must not make such frivolous remarks."
"Hey, aren't we discussing this in private?"
Zheng Chengwen chuckled and said: "In my eyes, Lu Qing'er was born in the Lu family of Fanyang and came from a scholarly family. She has a dignified appearance and a strong sense of books. She must be familiar with classics in private. She is a first-class lady. .”
"It's a pity that her sister is the current queen. In terms of seniority, I still have to call her aunt. It's really unlucky!"
Xu Mujun rolled his eyes and said, "How dare you say this in front of her?"
"Hehehe, of course I don't dare."
Zheng Chengwu chuckled and said: "There are two girls left. Xia Houling was born as a refugee and had not had enough to eat since she was a child. Although she was raised in Yuelong Palace for two years, she is still skinny."
"Appearance can only be regarded as beautiful, like hyacinth among flowers."
"Although the fragrance of flowers is refreshing, it still lacks something."
Having said this, Zheng Chengwu secretly glanced around again and spoke in a lower tone.
"In my eyes, among these three women, the most interesting one is Dai Shu!"
"Oh? Why?"
Xu Mujun also became interested and asked in a low voice.
"Dai Shu, Dai Shu..."
Zheng Chengwu said: "That Dai Shu came from a wealthy background. His father was a salt merchant, and he also cooperated with the government. He was one of the 'official merchants' designated by the emperor."
"After entering the palace, no matter in terms of family background or spiritual qualifications, Lu Qing'er was overwhelmed."
"She seems to be respectful, but isn't she holding her breath in her heart?"
"And..."
He glanced at Dai Shu furtively and said in a low voice: "I saw a notebook in my grandfather's study called "The Book of Beauties"."
"Thirty-six kinds of women with special faces are recorded in it, and Dai Shu's face is a rare 'feminine body'."
"The best at bewitching monarchs and charming people's hearts. Even though she is still young, she is innately good at playing with men's psychology~"
Before Zheng Chengwu finished speaking, Xu Mujun was too lazy to continue listening to him.
What is "The Book of Beauty"?
What kind of charming body?
It's all nonsense!
No matter how special Dai Shu is, he is still a monk, so he will never be taken into the harem and become a concubine by His Majesty!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty should be arriving soon, you'd better keep your voice down."
"Why don't you believe it? Hehehe, it seems that only this prince can subjugate and suppress such a daughter who brings disaster to the country and the people..."
Zheng Chengwu shook his head and said: "I will cheer up this prince and conquer this peerless enchantress~"
other side.
The three girls, Lu Qing'er, Xia Houling and Dai Shu, stood together, but there was also a faint sign of superiority and inferiority.
Among the three women, Lu Qing'er is undoubtedly the main one. Xia Houling and Dai Shu look like two maids, serving Lu Qing'er.
Lu Qing'er was born in the Lu family and was the younger sister of the current Queen Lu Lin'er. Moreover, her own spiritual roots were also extraordinary, with both gold and fire spiritual roots. Her cultivation speed was comparable to that of Xu Mujun, who was only weaker than the metallic heavenly spiritual roots.
Therefore, among the three women, she has always been in a leadership position.
"Qing'er, look at how sneaky Prince Zheng Chengwen is. He must be gossiping about you and me again!"
Dai Shu noticed at a glance Zheng Chengwen, who was peeking at them from time to time, and whispered to Lu Qing'er.
Lu Qing'er is three years younger than Dai Shu, but has a calmer temper. She just glanced at Zheng Chengwu and then turned around and said:
"Sister Dai, it's not like you don't know the prince's temperament. Although he is naughty, he has no bad intentions. Just avoid him."
"After all, he is the virtuous prince, and now he is also a Taoist friend."
"What Qing'er said is true, but today is the day when His Majesty comes to meet us. If we offend His Majesty because of this trivial matter..."
"Your Majesty..." Lu Qing'er's Qingli frowned slightly. She still admired His Majesty as his 'brother-in-law'.
If His Majesty hears it, or if someone passes it on to His Majesty...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Zheng Chengwen.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and Tian Xingzi walked in.
"Your Majesty has not arrived yet, please sit down quickly and do not make any noise."
"Yes, Master!"
In Yuelong Palace, Tian Xingzi is the main person who teaches them.
In addition, there are Xiong Gang and Xuan Jizi.
The contents taught are also five element exercises, simple formations, talismans, etc.
Of course, as monks, they would definitely not teach their true skills to the seven people, and they were not masters and disciples.
What is taught is just common sense in the world of cultivation.
"I have met the Master!"
The seven people saluted, and Tian Xingzi just nodded slightly.
"Seven days ago, I gave the seven of you a recipe and refining method for the first-level elixir 'Golden Stone Pill'. How is your refining going?"
Jinshidan is one of the thirty-six first-level elixirs recorded in the "Qinghe Danfa".
After inspection, it was found that the elixir was stored enough, so Zheng Yi asked people to hand it over to seven people to see if any of these seven people had the talent for alchemy.
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of several people changed slightly.
There is tension and embarrassment, as well as doubts and headaches.
Seeing this situation, Tian Xingzi said directly: "Xu Fengxiong, where is the elixir?"
Xu Fengxiong smiled bitterly and said: "Master, Fengxiong really doesn't have the talent for alchemy. If he has the time, he might as well practice more hand control techniques."
Zheng Chengwen also said: "Yes, Master, the elixir prescription is like reading a heavenly book. Maybe only the people in Taiyuan Hospital can understand it."
Seeing this, Tian Xingzi also shook his head and said, "Among the seven of you, is there anyone who can successfully refine it?"
In Tian Xingzi's opinion, His Majesty took the book of alchemy too simply.
As the most versatile and edible skill among the hundreds of cultivation arts, alchemy is difficult for anyone to master and is very precious.
He had never heard of elixirs like Jinshidan.
As for His Majesty, he uses it as a way to test new disciples.
It's really a bit... whimsical.
Even a veteran alchemist would have to go through several experiments before refining a newly released elixir recipe successfully.
Seven rookies who have only entered the world of cultivation for less than two years...
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a small hand raised gently.
"Husband, Master, I, I seem to have succeeded in practicing..."
Tian Xingzi was shocked and quickly looked around, only to see Xia Houling raising her little hand and looking at him uneasily.
The people around him were also surprised, especially Dai Shu.
"Ling'er, did you succeed in practicing?"
"Xia Houling?"
"How can she make alchemy?"
"Real or false..."
"Well..."
Xia Houling's face immediately turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
Tian Xingzi said: "Xia Houling, right? Don't be nervous. You said you succeeded in refining the gold stone pill. Do you have any evidence?"
"There is..."
As she spoke, she took out a jade bottle from her arms and handed it to Tian Xingzi.
"Master, please take a look, this thing should be the Golden Stone Pill..."
Tian Xingzi looked suspicious, but he still wanted to tip the jade bottle over, and a golden elixir suddenly appeared in his hand.
"The color is golden, it smells of gold and stone, and the surface of the elixir has the feeling of dust. It can enhance the qualifications of the spiritual roots of gold and earth attributes, and can also improve the cultivation of monks during the Qi training period..."
"It is indeed Jinshidan. How did you do it?"
Xia Houling said carefully: "My father used to be a doctor, and she taught me some medicinal materials."
"I, I just made it according to the refining method issued by Master."
"Xia Houling, did you succeed at once?"
Suddenly a voice sounded, and several people turned around quickly, and saw Zheng Yi slowly walking in surrounded by Chen Liancang and others.
Several people stood up quickly and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live!"
"Get flat."
Zheng Yi nodded, still looking at Xia Houling.
Xia Houling nodded quickly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I, I took one chance, and the amount of medicinal materials issued by the master was only enough to refine one furnace."
"About five pills came out of that furnace."
"Success the first time..."
Zheng Yi was also very surprised. Could it be that Xia Houling was the one-of-a-kind alchemy wizard?
In his free time today, Zheng Yi came to Yuelong Palace to check on the progress of these young monks.
Among the seven, Xu Fengxiong is undoubtedly the oldest, has the highest cultivation level, and has the strongest spiritual talent.
The other people, whether they are Zheng Chengwen, Shi Xiaofeng, Tong Tao, or the three girls Lu Qing'er, Xia Houling, and Dai Shu, are far behind him.
Unexpectedly, I met Xia Houling when I first arrived, and she refined the Golden Stone Pill with only one chance.
What a genius!
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Well done. I still have a lot of elixirs here. I can let you try them when the time comes to see if you can refine other elixirs."
"People's women take orders."
Zheng Yi said: "I came to Yuelong Palace today. I originally wanted to test your cultivation progress, but I didn't expect that Xia Houling gave me a surprise."
"By the way, Xia Houling, how advanced are you now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this disciple has just reached the third level of Qi training."
"I remember that you are just ten years old. You have been practicing for a year and a half. It is not bad to be able to reach the third level of Qi training."
Zheng Yi nodded, grabbed it with his backhand, and a pocket alchemy furnace the size of a palm appeared in his hand.
"This furnace is called the 'Heavenly Incense Furnace'. It is a high-grade magical instrument. Let it be your reward for this test."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone around him changed, especially Tian Xingzi.
This group of disciples who have just come into contact with cultivation may not know what the high-grade magic weapon represents, and it is also a high-grade alchemy furnace.
As a senior in the world of cultivation, how could Tian Xingzi not know this?
Top-grade alchemy furnaces are almost extinct in the entire Da Yu cultivation world!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xia Houling did not know the value of the incense burner, but she still respectfully accepted the order and thanked her.
"Okay."
Zheng Yi said: "Today you will be tested one by one. Those who are diligent in their cultivation and those who practice diligently will be rewarded!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty...!"
Just when Zheng Yi was deep in the Dragon Palace, a figure also came to Tianshou Mountain.
"This place is Tianshou Mountain, the blessed land of cave heaven?" (End of Chapter)
