Chapter 155 Advancement: The Cause of Evil (23)

It has red walls and green tiles, and the sun is just right.

A little bird came from nowhere, landed on the eaves, and after searching around, it spread its wings and flew away.

In the hall, Han Wu, the person in charge of Danningfang City, sat at the head of the table.

Beside him, there was a foundation-building monk wearing a blue gown, looking at the white scroll unfolded in his hand and reciting.

"Second place, Guo Zizhen, with total alchemy points of 2920 points."

"Seventh place, Ji Yi, with total alchemy points of 2750."

"Ninth place, Shu Jun, total alchemy points 2478 points."

"Congratulations to the three junior brothers, you have successfully advanced to the next level of the Alchemy Conference."

The total alchemy points here do not refer to the results in this month, but the results since the establishment of Danningfang City until now.

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, couldn't 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 elixir almost every day and night in order to make up for the gap that it may bring.

But now it seems that he was totally wrong.

In addition to having a very good reputation in the eyes of many disciples, this person does not appear to be in any hurry when it comes to alchemy.

Even the somewhat lazy Junior Brother Lin Yi refined so many elixirs without knowing it.

"On average, he takes 13 Yan Yuan Pills a day. How does he do it? Doesn't he need to practice?"

Shu Jun was a little confused.

"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 direct disciple of the Lord of Danyuan Palace also possesses spiritual fire? It’s probably true.”

Lin 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 tea cup 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."

Having said 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 glanced at it, accompanied by a faint stinging feeling.

The second piece is a small palm-sized sword that is red in color and 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 when you look closely, you feel that it is not completely finished.

But even so, with his attainments in swordsmanship, Lin Yi felt a sharp edge from the sword.

The third piece is a dark-yellow octagonal shield.

Although, from the appearance point of view, it is difficult to find anything special compared with the previous two.

However, the tortoise pattern emerging on the front of the shield looks well-organized and has a sense of mystery and solidity.

"These three items are extraordinary."

After looking carefully, Ji Yi thought to himself, a trace of desire appeared in his eyes.

"These three items are the Golden Dragon Talisman, which can exert the power of the late 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 fierceness 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 during the sacrifice after you obtain them.

Guo Zizhen, you are the number one in Danningfang City, so you have gained some face for me, so I will let you choose one of these three items first."

"yes."

After 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 Master Uncle Han for the reward for the sect."

Seeing that even though he won first place, Guo Zizhen was still neither arrogant nor tired, Han Wu was very satisfied with his performance.

"Jin Yi, as the second place winner in Danningfang City, it's up to you to choose first."

"Yes, Uncle Han."

After hearing these words, Lin Yi bowed respectfully and then came to the sword and shield.

Almost instinctively, Lin Yi stretched out his palm towards the Gui Yuan Lost Trace Shield.

After all, with a second-level top-grade defensive magic weapon in hand, even when faced with monks in the late stages of foundation building, they can barely resist one or two.

However, when Lin Yi's eyes fell on the Yanguanghuoyuan 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, Lin Yi took the Yanguang Huoyuan Sword in his hand.

What he thought was simple.

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 disdain too much of such a life-saving thing.

At least, that's what Lin 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 Lin Yi immediately felt was not cold, but a warm feeling like running water.

"It feels like what you are holding in your 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 Uncle Han."

Carefully putting the Yanguang Huoyuan Sword back into his storage bag, with the intention of studying it carefully after the meeting was over, Lin Yi bowed respectfully and returned to his original position.

At the same time, following Han Wu's signal, Shu Jun took back the Turtle Origin Lost Trace Shield into his arms with a satisfied expression.

"I have said before that the rewards this time are different from the past due to 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 equal to the current number of alchemy points as a reward on a ten-for-one basis."

"Thank you, Uncle Han."

Hearing this, the other disciples who had not received any extra rewards were a little disappointed, but they still bowed to Han Wu gratefully.

"Now that we have finished talking about the alchemy conference, the next thing is about the Longbei Mountains."

Having said this, Han Wu's face straightened.

"Based on our investigation a few days ago, we found an underground palace that has not yet been discovered, but should be extremely large in area, through the ruins near the ground where the Yin evil energy broke out.

Now it has been basically determined that the real source of the evil spirit comes from this underground palace.

Because of the existence of this underground palace, the ground veins were eroded, which led to the current situation of the Longbei Mountains.

In order to prevent the evil evil from lingering for a long time, the sect decided to send you disciples in the foundation building period to explore the area and further find out the specific situation.

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 stages of alchemy.

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 something has changed 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 directly send the monks who are in the late stage of foundation establishment.

The reason for this is that there is some kind of strange restriction in the Yin Palace.
