I just want to be a quiet man

When the wind blows, the surrounding pines and waves blow, and when the needles turn, you can see many rare birds and animals living in it.

These beasts are not afraid of people. Seeing Zhong Kuixi and Pei Ling coming, instead of running away in panic, they watched with interest.

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard, but before reaching out their hands, the gate creaked and opened, revealing the spacious courtyard inside.

The courtyard is wide and clear at a glance. The ground is paved with blue bricks. In the corner is a tall pine tree that is the same as the outside of the courtyard. There are some birds standing on it, chirping in whispers.

The courtyard was full of needles, as if no one had cleaned it up for a long time.

Finally, Kuixi deliberately walked in with a light footstep, Pei Ling noticed it, and quickly followed suit.

I saw the Nineteenth Prince walking towards the first room on the left without any hesitation. The room was very simple, without even a door. Standing in the corridor, one could see the layout of an alchemy room inside, sitting in the corner An old man in a red robe and long beard was holding a spiritual plant shaped like a dead wood, thinking hard.

From time to time, he took out one or two herbs from the storage pouch at hand, gesticulating, as if thinking about some problem.

Sensing that someone was approaching, she didn't raise her head, she just said casually: "Little Nineteen, why don't you study the imperial examination questions carefully, what are you doing here? This old man won't help you cheat for personal gain!"

"Zhu Gongfeng, how dare I disobey the imperial court's laws?" Zhong Kuixi stepped forward and bowed, and said with a smile, "I have tried eight furnaces for the imperial examination questions, but the furnaces have failed. Right now, my mental strength is exhausted, so I plan to slow down. Keep going."

"This is because this fellow Daoist Wang has made up for his remnants and plans to submit the exam questions."

"Huh?" Upon hearing the words, Priest Zhu paused when he took the medicinal materials, then looked up at Pei Ling indifferently, and said in a low voice, "What's your test question? Which four medicinal materials are missing? "

Pei Ling said: "The exam question for the younger generation is to make up for the remnants of the Five Yuan Breaking Barrier Pill. The missing four medicinal materials are Mongolian wood tree, Yaocao, oyster fruit and litchi ginseng."

Five Yuan Barrier Breaking Pill...

Zhu Gongfeng recalled a little, and nodded secretly, yes, the main materials that were deliberately crossed out in this test question are indeed these four kinds!

He became a little more serious, and his tone was gentler: "Tell me about the two missing steps."

step?

Pei Ling's face froze. He is all managed by the system. How can he know the steps?

Seeing that Zhu Gongfeng and Zhong Kuixi were staring at him closely, he forced himself to say calmly: "The younger generation comes from casual cultivators, and the inheritance is incomplete. I don't know how to describe many techniques and steps."

"In this way, this junior will refine a batch of five-element barrier-breaking pills on the spot."

Saying that, without waiting for Zhu Gongfeng to agree, he quickly took out the Guihejixiang Taiping Wannian Furnace, unsealed a poison pill in his body, and said silently in his heart: "System, I want to practice! One-click trusteeship [alchemy five yuan] Barrier Breaking Pill]!"

"Ding dong! The intelligent cultivation system will serve you wholeheartedly! One-click trusteeship, smart upgrade! Now start trusteeship training, intimate reminder: During the training period, the host will lose control of the body, please don't panic..."

The system responded immediately, "Ding dong! The system has started to practice [Alchemy · Five Yuan Barrier Breaking Pill] for you..."

Seeing that he had already lit the stove, Zhu Gongfeng stroked his long beard and watched calmly.

Witnessing Pei Ling handling the medicinal materials, merging the elixir liquid, and regulating the elixir fire like flowing water... In the end, Kuixi was intoxicated and couldn't sleep, while Zhu Gongfeng's expression was flat, until the refining of a furnace of elixir was almost over At that time, he looked at Pei Ling's young face and felt the vitality in his body before nodding his head slightly.

Precise, concise, smooth.

But unfortunately...

Although his alchemy technique is very familiar and even impeccable, it lacks spirituality.

The elixir refined in this way has no problem with its efficacy, but it will fall into a rut after all, and it is difficult to reach the real peak...

However, at this age, to be able to have such a level is considered a very talented junior.

After a while, watching Pei Ling take out fifteen top-quality pills from the alchemy furnace, Zhu Gongfeng only glanced at them, then nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed a five-element barrier-breaking pill, you passed it."

Pei Ling was overjoyed, and before he could speak, Zhu Gongfeng immediately asked, "The reward for the top three in the palace examination, the ground-level exercises in the secret storehouse, the sixth-grade alchemy furnace, and Nanke Menghuo, which one do you want?"

"The junior wants Nanke Menghuo." Pei Ling said without hesitation.

Hearing this, Zhu Gongfeng stretched out his hand to grab the void very readily, and soon, a cluster of flames, like dreams and illusions, appeared in his palm.

With a thought in Zhu Gongfeng's mind, a group of ice crystals emerged out of thin air, sealing the cluster of flames inside.

The next moment, the ice crystals wrapped in flames suddenly penetrated the space and appeared in front of Pei Ling.

Pei Ling put it into the storage bag with both hands, and said thank you: "Thank you Zhu Gongfeng."

"This is what you deserve." Zhu Gongfeng didn't care much, and said, "Bring you the paperwork for the palace examination."

Seeing that Pei Ling took it out as he said, he flipped his wrist and got a seal out of nowhere. After sealing it, he intercepted a breath of his own and pierced it into it. Immediately, he handed the document to Pei Ling, nodded slightly and said, "Inject Your true essence, activate it."

Pei Ling didn't know why, but she did it anyway.

Not much real energy had just been injected, and the document suddenly emitted a huge white light, covering him in an instant, and the next moment, Pei Ling disappeared without a trace!

Seeing this scene, Zhong Kuixi knew that Wang Gao had been passed into "Little Zizai Tian".

"Little Zizaitian" can cleanse the body and soul of the entrant, and the longer you stay in it, the better the effect.

It's just that only alchemists who have passed the palace test during the alchemy ceremony can enjoy the treatment of entering.

And the first to pass the palace test will naturally take advantage.

In the past, like Wang Gao, who was able to enter on the first day, it can be said to be very rare.

Not to mention, this year's imperial examination, the questions are so difficult...

Thinking of this, Zhong Kuixi saw that Zhu Gongfeng's expression was still calm, and couldn't help asking: "Zhu Gongfeng, this Wang Gao made up the residual prescription in only one day, how did he do it?"

Zhu Gongfeng continued to take out the spiritual plant that was like a dead tree before, and said softly: "I don't know."

Seeing that Zhong Kuixi hesitated to speak, and seemed to want to pester her, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly, "Instead of wondering how others passed the palace exam on the first day, you might as well think about how to solve your own exam questions?"

Without waiting for his answer, he flicked his sleeves.

Zhong Kuixi suddenly felt in a trance, and when she came back to her senses, she was already standing outside the pine forest, and the clear path behind her disappeared, and only the pine forest was rustling, and the birds and animals were at ease.

He was dazed for a moment, and smiled unconsciously. What Zhu Gongfeng said was right. The most important problem for him right now is not to inquire about other people's secrets, but to solve his own exam questions. Thinking this way, Kuixi finally walked towards his Go to the residence.

Chapter 211: Check your heart.

Yunhai.

The endless sea of ​​clouds.

There was a change in front of Pei Ling's eyes, and he appeared in this sea of ​​clouds.

He looked around, and under the blue sky, there was an endless sea of ​​white clouds, piled up like mountains and seas.

In the distance, a faint golden light can be glimpsed, like the scorching sun, dyeing the clouds in that direction with brilliant gold.

There was nothing under his feet, as if there was nothing, but he didn't fall down, but stood on the cloud cluster.

Pei Ling was slightly dazed, and her memory was blank for a moment, as if it had been erased by some force.

But at the next moment, countless small runes suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the sound of thunderstorms came from his ears. After that, he quickly remembered everything that happened during this period!

Before Pei Ling could react, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, a river emerged out of thin air, and a mortal drowned in it, sinking and floating, stretching out his arms from time to time to call for help.

Pei Ling frowned, and immediately stretched out her hand to photograph her on the shore.

Soon, the scene changed again. This time he saw several mountain bandits, holding swords and holding swords, chasing and killing women and children. .

Pei Ling didn't think too much, and with a quick effort, he rescued the woman and child. Seeing the woman knelt down and thanked him, the spring light appeared, and he took out a robe that he hadn't worn from the storage bag and threw it in his pocket. , to cover it.

Immediately afterwards, various scenes emerged.

At first, mortals were murdered and hunted down by mortals, then mortals were murdered by monks in the Qi training period, and then mortals were persecuted by monks in the foundation establishment period... Pei Ling was expressionless, saving people time and time again, and soon, the scene changed to that of monks. fight between.

What appeared in front of him this time was the fighting skills of two foundation-building stage monks.

One of them looked sad and angry, and angrily said: "Bastard! I regard you as a close friend, but you actually covet my family's magic weapon, and murder my whole family while I am out... Today I will kill you!"

The other person didn't say much, and started directly.

Soon, the sad and angry monk plotted against him and lost quickly.

Seeing this situation, Pei Ling stepped in to help, and ordered him to kill the enemy with his own hands, and his vengeance was avenged.

In the end, the monk proposed to pay with a family heirloom, but Pei Ling walked away without saying a word.

Not far away, he entered the next illusion, this time he saw...

In the enshrining courtyard, the priest Zhu sat on the ground, with a water mirror several feet high floating in front of him.

He looked at Wang Gao's performance in the water mirror and nodded slightly.

When the memory is blurred, he saves people again and again, and he doesn't covet the beauty of the weak, and he doesn't accept the heirlooms of the rescued... This Wang Gao is not only good-hearted, but even more rare, he is not greedy!

This kind of xinxing is very good.

You must know that Zhu Gongfeng seemed casual just now, but in fact, as early as when Wang Gao entered the small courtyard, he secretly checked his identity with his divine sense.

Afterwards, it was discovered that there was a Gu worm hidden in the opponent's body, and a large amount of poisonous pills and anti-poison pills were sealed in the abdomen.

The aura of the Gu worm is exactly the same as Wang Gao himself, it doesn't seem to be being poisoned by others, it's more like being fed by the other party himself.After all, it is a casual cultivator from abroad, so raising Gu is not a strange thing.

As for those poison pills and poison pills, when the opponent was making pills just now, he used a poison pill.

Afterwards, the alchemy was over, and another anti-drug pill was used to detoxify.

This behavior is very strange, but Zhu Gongfeng is an enshrinement of the imperial court, and he has seen all kinds of strange things in the world.

In order to refine better pills, self-mutilation and self-torture; in order to comprehend the true meaning of the Dao, they killed their wives and relatives; some people even swung their swords from the palace in pursuit of stronger power...

In the eyes of a court priest like him who has lived for an unknown number of years, it is nothing new.

In comparison, this Wang Gao was just taking poison and concocting alchemy, so he was already very gentle.

Moreover, the other party also knew to take Bidu Pill to detoxify afterward. It can be seen that although this person's behavior is somewhat paranoid, he has not yet reached the point of becoming obsessed.

Right now, "Little Zizaitian" has not been officially opened, and Wang Gao will immediately fall into a deep sleep after being teleported in.

In this process, it just happened to use the dream to check his heart.

If it is the kind of bullying, cruel and ruthless people, even if they are not demon cultivators, they will become a hidden danger to the righteous way after they are powerful and powerful.

Even the degree of harm is better than that of magic cultivators!

Even if the dynasty is thirsty for talents, it will not cultivate such people!

Of course, so far, Wang Gao is doing very well.

All aspects are in line with the expectations of the dynasty.

When this alchemy ceremony is over, it can be cultivated well.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gongfeng nodded slightly.

Ten days later, every alchemist who passed the palace test must test his heart like Wang Gao before he can really enter the "Xiao Zi Zai Tian" and participate in the final test of the alchemy ceremony.

After all, besides recruiting talents for the dynasty, this alchemy ceremony was actually meant by the medicine fairy... The other party has been looking for a successor who can inherit the mantle of her master.

※※※

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, during this period, except for Wang Gao, there was no other person to make up for the residual square.

On the contrary, Xun Wuyang, Nangongsu, Guan Jiu, Xu Chen, An Wubin, and Zhong Kuixi, these five-rank alchemists, after all, have made some progress in terms of strength.

Among them, Zhong Kuixi has already tested two missing medicinal materials, Xun Wuyang only determined one of the missing alchemy steps, although An Wubin only identified the blindly missing medicinal materials, but the first missing alchemy step is about to be made up...

A small number of extremely talented sixth-grade alchemists gradually found their way.

Two more days passed.

Basically all fifth-rank alchemists have made up the remaining formula to the last step.

Many sixth-grade alchemists with good qualifications have finally started to practice.

On the contrary, most of the seventh-rank alchemists knew that they had no hope of passing the palace examination, so they simply gave up solving the problems and plunged into the alchemy building, seized the time to read various classics, and took advantage of this opportunity to strive to improve their alchemy attainments.

The sixth day of the imperial examination.

In the end, Kui Xi succeeded in supplementing the pill formula and refined a furnace of Xuanguang Zhen'er Pill. There was only one high-grade pill, and the others were all middle-grade and low-grade.

Looking at the elixir in the furnace, Zhong Kuixi let out a little tired breath.

He couldn't make up the remaining formula so quickly, but seeing Wang Gao refining the five-element barrier-breaking pill that day inspired him deeply.

In particular, the two missing steps on the opponent's residual square are very similar to the missing steps on his exam questions.

Therefore, this speeds up the speed of Zhong Kuixi making up the remaining squares a lot.

Thinking this way, Kuixi finally tidied up the alchemy room, got up and walked out of the waterside pavilion.

He wants to go to Xun Wuyang and Nangong Su first, share his experience of making up the residual formula, and then submit the exam questions...
