I just want to be a quiet man

After reacting, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

There is no rush to escape from the dynasty, anyway, there is no way to leave for the time being... Get the free pill fire first!

Not only was he moved, but others were also attracted by the prizes. For a while, their worries about the difficulty of the exam questions dropped a lot.

Soon, the monk in charge of registration called a group of crane boys and took them to their respective residences.

The so-called Crane Boy is actually the demonized form of Crane.

From the outside, they seem to be handsome boys of seven or eight years old, all of them are born with pink make-up and bright eyes, wearing loose gowns with white background and black edges, and small red crowns on their heads.

If you look carefully, you will find that behind their ears, there are clusters of snow-white feathers, which shows their identity as a foreign race.

After leaving the main hall, under the leadership of the He Tongs, the fifteen alchemists from Meiyang County were quickly dispersed into the lush trees in the Xincui Hall.

Pei Ling was led through numerous branches, courtyards, pavilions, and swamps, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard adjacent to a stream.

He Tong, who was leading the way, reminded him crisply: "This alchemist, you can enter after you take out the jade tablet."

He took out the jade tablet as he said, and saw a foot-wide formation suddenly appear on the seemingly old gate of the small courtyard. The light flickered, and when it passed the jade tablet, it emitted a burst of dazzling light. Immediately, the courtyard door was silent Open without interest.

He Tong said: "Drinking and water will be delivered to the door every day. If the alchemist has any requirements, he can also order them at any time."

While speaking, it suddenly lost its human body, and quickly transformed into a red-crowned crane as tall as a man. It quickly flapped its wings and flew up to a tall branch not far away.

Pei Ling cupped her hands and said, "Thank you."

Only then did he enter the small courtyard.

The courtyard occupies a large area, and an octagonal pavilion is built on the left hand side, surrounded by more than a dozen kinds of exotic flowers and plants outside the pavilion.On the right side is a lotus pond of about half an acre, with fields of flowers and leaves in the middle, fish and shrimps playing in a relaxed manner.

After looking at it for a while, he walked through the courtyard and walked into the main hall of the small building.

Just after opening the door of the main hall, the system prompt sounded in my ears: "Ding dong! An unfamiliar prescription has been detected, and the system is recording it for you..."

He couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously glanced at the main hall in front of him.

I saw a floor-to-ceiling screen painted with a hundred beasts holding medicine in front of me. After turning the screen, there was a hall covered with azurite ground with entangled branches and lotus patterns. Ivory hanging screens were placed behind the main seat, and plum vases half a person's height were placed on the left and right. , interpolated several phoenix tail feathers.Those tail feathers are radiant and beautiful.

Moreover, there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, which seemed to have the ability to ward off dust, water and fire.

Under the main seat, there are two rows of seats facing each other, and the green bead bowls are beautifully furnished.On the left and right sides of the main hall, there is a hollowed-out Moon Cave Gate with Baibaoge. At this moment, there are occasional artifacts placed in the grid. The Moon Cave Door is blocked by a bead curtain made of pearls the size of a thumb, so that people cannot see clearly what is going on inside.

On the small table next to the main seat, there is a piece of animal skin with a simple atmosphere that is incompatible with the surrounding environment.

Chapter 199: The Nineteenth Prince.

Pei Ling walked over quickly, took a look at the animal skin, and saw that it was covered with cloud seal script, densely packed with the names of medicinal materials.

And under the animal skin, there is also a storage pouch and a jade slip.

He picked up the storage bag and checked it. There was no restriction on it, and any monk could open it.

It was filled with various medicinal herbs. Pei Ling took a quick look and found that several flavors were recorded on animal skins.

He picked up the jade slip again and looked at it for a while, but he saw that it said that what was recorded on the animal skin was a remnant recipe called Wuyuan Breaking Barrier Pill.

It’s just that there are two steps missing in the refining method, and the ingredients are missing four flavors... Before finishing the reading, the system issued a prompt again: "Ding dong! The recording is complete, please name the host..."

"Five Yuan Breaking Barrier Pill." Pei Ling said silently in his heart, and suddenly realized that the question of this palace examination is to make up the remaining formula!

No wonder alchemists are allowed to communicate with each other, and even consult the classics in the alchemy building!

There are only ten days, and the alchemist is alone thinking hard, even if it is a normal fifth-rank alchemist, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass this test!

Moreover, because everyone's exam questions are different, there is no need to worry. After making up one residual square, there will be a situation where a bunch of people pass the test.

As for whether there will be an alchemist who can solve all the other people's exam questions... Normally, even if there is such a genius, there is not enough time!

After all, it takes a very long time to make up the remnants, one by one trial and error, careful analysis of Shengke, the normal way is to use a lot of medicinal materials and try again and again.

It took ten days to make up one remnant recipe, which was already the limit.

Even for some alchemists with limited qualifications, it is an impossible task.

Even if it is completed, the mental effort will inevitably be huge.

It's too late to recuperate in a short period of time, so how could there be spare energy to make up the second pill recipe?

However, Pei Ling has a system!

When the door was opened just now, Xu Shi opened the protective formation that came with the house, and the system directly recorded the remnants!

According to experience, the remnants included in the system will be automatically supplemented, and as long as it is entrusted, the five-element barrier-breaking pill can be directly refined.

Thinking of this, Pei Ling was planning to make a quick decision and directly refine the elixir.

But after thinking about it seriously, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

In this remnant recipe, there are four kinds of medicinal materials missing, most of these missing medicinal materials are for the alchemist to find from the Baicao Village behind the Xincui Pavilion.

And Pei Ling hasn't been to Baicao Manor yet, so he doesn't know the situation there.

The most important thing is that there are many alchemists here, and the alchemists are away from home, and they are in the imperial examination under the heavy protection of the dynasty. It is estimated that most of the good things at the bottom of the box will be brought with them.

Who knows if the system's free gift will be from Baicaozhuang, or the storage pouches of these alchemists?

Even, here is Lijing!

Those pharmacies, warehouses, private collections... The system doesn't care about so many, anyway, it picks the best gift every time!

Therefore, for the sake of safety, before alchemy, Pei Ling needed to find a helper to interrupt him.

After all, he had never refined the five-element barrier-breaking pill, so he didn't know how long it would take to entrust the pill, and he couldn't control the mentally retarded system by swallowing the poison pill.

"Now, I can only go to Zhou Miaoli." Pei Ling thought for a moment, then secretly said, "With her strength, as long as she makes a move against me, the system will definitely not be able to avoid it!"

However, after reaching into the storage bag for a while, he did not take out the sound transmission talisman with Zhou Miaoli.

This is the capital of the imperial capital, Lijing!

It's still where the palace exam is!

Overtly and secretly, I don't know how many strong people are watching here.

Just in case, I must not directly communicate with Zhou Miaoli!

He had to pretend to go out for a walk first, and then "coincidentally" met Zhou Miaoli. The two met for the first time. Let's go to see more...

Do not!

This is too urgent!

He had just seen the remnant recipe now, so he had to study it for an hour or two first, and then, because his thoughts were hindered, he decided to go out for a walk to find inspiration.

Thinking of this, Pei Ling kept staring at Danfang over and over again...

Two hours later, he felt that he was almost ready, so he straightened his robe, got up and walked outside.

However, just as he went out, he saw three monks coming towards him.

Among them, the two on the left and right were Xun Wuyang and Nangong Su, and the one walking in the middle was a god-like, heroic and upright cultivator.

This monk was dressed plainly, with bamboo crown and soap boots, and had no decorations except for the fifth-grade alchemist jade pendant hanging on his waist.

His cultivation base is the pinnacle of alchemy, and its foundation is solid. When walking, it is like a low but extremely stable hill. It is strong and firm, giving people a sense of unshakable.

She is not inferior to Zhou Miaoli at all!

Pei Ling's pupils shrank slightly, this monk is so strong!Although the other party had restrained himself deliberately, the strong sense of oppression that came from his body made him want to surrender.

With a flash of thought, Pei Ling quickly dispelled the urge to respect and worship the other party.

At this moment, when Xun Wuyang saw him, his eyes lit up, he clapped his palms and smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, it's a good time to meet you here! The palace exam questions are quite challenging, and I'm just going to visit fellow Daoist to discuss one or two things together." .”

Hearing this, Pei Ling frowned slightly, he was going to meet Zhou Miaoli by chance now, these three people came at an inopportune time!

More importantly, explore the exam questions?

Isn't this making things difficult for him?

Thinking of this, Pei Ling hinted euphemistically: "It's hard to make up for what's left. I'm also puzzled, and I'm planning to go out for a walk."

"That's right!" Unexpectedly, Xun Wuyang nodded his head when he heard the words, "This exam question is really obscure and profound! My question is to make up a pill called Tongling Mingxin Pill."

"Fellow Daoist, I have been practicing alchemy for more than 40 years, but I have never heard of this name."

"My topic is to make up the Yin-Yang Nirvana Pill...which is also unheard of!" Nangong Su also said, "Until now, I have no clue."

At this time, the plainly dressed monk said: "I heard from the person who served the emperor that the exam questions for this palace examination were all created by a few priests temporarily, so whether it is the classics of the Zangshu Pavilion or the word-of-mouth , are unprecedented.”

"If you want to make up for the remnants, you must brainstorm."

What?

Father emperor?

Pei Ling was startled, and subconsciously looked at the monk.

At this moment, Xun Wuyang hurriedly said: "By the way, I almost forgot to introduce. This is His Highness the Nineteenth Prince, and he is also a senior in Yulin Academy. Like us, he is a fifth-rank alchemist."

"Brother, this is Daoist Wang Gao Wang."

"We are the head of the county examination in Meiyang County."

"At the time of the county test, ten furnaces of pills were all top-quality. Even Master Tu He praised Fellow Daoist Wang Gao!"

Chapter 200: Any insight?

His Highness the Nineteenth nodded, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang Gao, I have admired your name for a long time."

Pei Ling came back to his senses, and hurriedly saluted, "I'm Wang Gao, I've seen His Highness the Nineteenth."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you don't need to be too polite." His Highness Nineteenth raised his hand and said kindly, "On the alchemy ceremony, we only talk about the attainments of alchemy, and don't see the background. I am just an ordinary fifth-rank alchemist now. .My name is Zhong Kuixi, so it’s fine for fellow Taoists to call me by my first name.”

"Friend Zhongkui." Pei Ling nodded and responded.

Seeing this, Zhong Kuixi smiled slightly, and talked about the business: "I don't know what the test questions in Wang Daoyou's room are?"

"The remnant formula I want to make up is called Wuyuan Breaking Barrier Pill." Pei Ling took out the animal skin that recorded the remnant formula, and showed it to the three of them.

The three quickly glanced at the residual formula, then nodded slightly, and it was another Dan Fang that they had never heard of.

Pei Ling originally wanted to send the three of them away quickly, but Xun Wuyang suggested: "Since everyone has no clue, why don't we go to Wang Daoyou to discuss it together? After all, the palace examination allows mutual communication, which can be seen from the eyes of the priest who made the question." , This time the exam questions were not something we could do alone, we had to work together."

"That's right!" Before Pei Ling had time to say no, Nangongsu nodded in approval, and said to Pei Ling, "Fellow Daoist Wang, please excuse me!"

Zhong Kuixi then said, "I'll send someone to bring some refreshments."

The three obviously never thought that Pei Ling would not welcome them. After all, for a normal alchemist participating in the alchemy ceremony, there is nothing more important than making up the remaining prescriptions.

And regardless of their other identities and backgrounds, they are all fifth-rank alchemists in terms of alchemy level. They took the initiative to come to Wang Gao, a fifth-rank casual cultivator outside the country, to discuss.

Wang Gao must be too happy, how could he refuse?

"This..." Pei Ling felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only forced a smile and said, "Those three please!"

So, the four of them walked into Pei Ling's small courtyard, and after taking their seats in the gazebo, Zhong Kuixi gave an order, and soon two crane boys flew over, holding bamboo baskets in their long beaks, and took out many spiritual fruit teas, and placed them all over the place. table.

After everyone took a sip of the spiritual tea, Kuixi couldn't wait to ask: "You Wang Daoyou, I know the alchemy attainments of Dean Nangong and Junior Brother Xun very well. Your ability to overwhelm the two of them and win the Mae It can be said that among the four of us, you are the most skilled in alchemy for the position of the leader of the Yangjun County Trial."

"I don't know how the pill will complement this remnant prescription, what's your opinion?"

Hearing this, Pei Ling froze for a moment, and then quickly said: "I'm ashamed to say that I came from a casual cultivator, and my inheritance is not complete. In alchemy, my skills are vain, and I came to Dynasty to make up for this shortcoming. If there is a complete alchemy formula, it will not be difficult for me to refine it."

"But does it make up for the residual... This is the first time I have encountered such a problem..."

Speaking of this, he was worried that the three of them would continue to question, so he simply asked, "I don't know, fellow Taoist Zhongkui, what are your thoughts now?"

"There is a little bit of thinking." Zhong Kuixi didn't hide his secrets, and said immediately, "The remnant recipe I want to make up is called Xuanguang Zhen'er Pill, and the known two-flavored main ingredients are used to heal wounds and resolve curses. It is used. If there is no accident, this is a prescription for recuperating injuries and lifting curses."

"So the missing main material must also have something to do with this aspect..."

"It's just that in addition to the main material, the alchemy technique is also lacking."

"In the world, there are as many healing and cursing things as crucian carp crossing the river. Considering the different results caused by various alchemy techniques, as well as the mutual generation and restraint between medicinal materials, it is difficult to judge what is needed for a while. .”

"Not to mention, after screening the possible medicinal materials, we have to consider at which step to add them, how much to add, and the treatment before adding..."

"If the time for the palace examination is several years, even if it is several months, it will be easy to solve it with pills to maintain energy and mind, burn ointments to follow the sundial, and try one after another."

"But this time, there are only ten days, and it is obviously not advisable to try one by one..."

Hearing this, Xun Wuyang nodded slightly, and said: "Senior Brother Zhongkui is right! Now, the first thing we need to confirm is what kind of main materials are missing in the remnants. According to the rules, we can go to the In addition to reading classics in Danlou, you can also go to Baiyaozhuang to choose medicinal materials."
