"Brother Lin Xian, look, there is Huoyunfeng in front of you."
The smooth bluestone steps were winding and two men dressed as monks were walking slowly on them. One of them had an ordinary appearance, it was Lin Xuan, and the strong man next to him was named Murong Bo.
It had been several hours since they left Fangshi.
Lin Xuan put forward his request to the other party. He was the best at lying. He could make up a story at will. He said that he was a casual cultivator and wanted to join because he admired the Lieyang Sect. However, something happened to delay him and he missed the time of the disciple recruitment meeting.
.
This speech was almost the same as that of the monk named Ma. Murong Bo was speechless for a while, but Lin Xuan was extremely generous and said that as long as the other party was willing to introduce him, he would pay him two thousand crystal stones regardless of success or failure.
The other party couldn't help but be tempted by such a good condition.
So the two hit it off immediately, and he led the way like Huoyunfeng.
The Lieyang Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, and Fire Cloud Peak is just one of them.
According to Murong Bo, in addition to their own homework, the monks here must also study alchemy.
The world of cultivating immortals in Yunhai is far more prosperous than that in Youzhou. In addition to countless masters, the nine major forces are also involved in most of the miscellaneous studies in the various arts of cultivating immortals.
Lin Xuan had to lament that these sects were rich and powerful, but it was not surprising that any one of the nine major forces would have dozens of Yuanying stage old monsters.
After confirming this from the other party's mouth, Lin Xuan became more and more cautious. Although he was confident that with his current magical power and the secret technique of gathering energy in Jiutian Xuan Gong, even the great monks in the later period would not be able to do it.
I can definitely tell that something is wrong, but I still feel a little uneasy in my heart.
In short, you can't take it lightly.
Fortunately, he wanted to join in the name of being good at alchemy.
The intensive study of alchemy requires too much energy, so the disciples on Fire Cloud Peak generally have lower cultivation levels than their fellow disciples.
There is only one old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, and he has been in seclusion for many years.
Everything on weekdays is presided over by a few monks in the alchemy stage.
Lin Xuan is naturally not afraid of being seen through by them.
After walking for about another meal, the bluestone steps finally reached the end. The front was filled with clouds and mist, which was obviously arranged to contain restrictions.
The two of them stopped and Murong Bo took out a talisman from his arms, muttered something, and then raised his hand to sacrifice it.
There was a flash of light, the mist dispersed, and the scenery inside was shadowy. It was indeed a different world.
"Walk!"
Murong Bo patted the storage bag and sacrificed a flying spiritual weapon. He turned around and said with a smile: "There are many forbidden traps along the way. Brother Lin had better not escape, so let me take you for a ride!"
"
"Okay, that's good work."
Lin Xuan stood up without hesitation, Murong Bo fired a magic spell, and the two of them turned into a startling rainbow and flew into the mist.
Lin Xuan quietly released his spiritual consciousness. The other party was indeed right. There were endless traps along the way. Of course, none of them were very powerful. After all, they had not even reached the foot of Huoyun Peak. They could only be regarded as peripheral at best.
, this also shows how tight the defense of Lieyang Gate is.
The Murong clan was originally a branch of this sect, so Murong Bo was able to come here unimpeded.
However, he could only reach the foot of the mountain.
"Good brother, all I can do for you is to introduce him. Whether you can be accepted or not depends on yourself." After leaving the escape light, Murong Bo suddenly turned around and spoke with great concern.
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Murong. Regardless of whether you pass the exam or not, I will give you the spar." Lin Xuan didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words. He took out a wooden box from the storage bag and handed it over.
He doesn't take two thousand crystal stones lightly, let alone do such stupid things as defaulting on debts.
"Haha, brother, you are too worried. How can I not believe you." The other party said it nicely, but he took the crystal without hesitation. After his consciousness swept away, the smile on his face became more sincere.
Then a transmission note was issued, and after about a cup of tea, a woman in red flew down the mountain peak with a flying sword.
Seeing the woman, Murong Bo was stunned for a moment, then a cheerful expression appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands: "Junior sister Long, are you on duty today?"
"Yes, senior brother is really a rare visitor. What are you doing in our Huoyun Peak when you have time? Hey, this fellow Taoist..." After noticing Lin Xuan, the woman's eyes showed a bit of suspicion, but it can also be seen from the conversation.
She seemed to have a good relationship with Murong Bo.
"It's nothing. This brother Lin Xian is a close friend of my brother. He admires Lieyang Sect and wants to join. However, due to some things, he missed the apprentice recruitment meeting. Fortunately, he is good at alchemy, so..." Murong Bo introduced straight to the point.
Here comes Lin Xuan's situation.
"Oh, dear senior brother, there shouldn't be any problem with your identity, but whether you can get admitted or not, my little sister can't decide. It depends on the instructions of the elders." The woman in red glanced at Lin Xuan and said noncommittally.
"Haha, of course Brother Yu knows the rules. I just want to ask Junior Sister to introduce me to you."
"It's no problem, it's just a trivial matter." The woman in red nodded without hesitation: "Senior Brother Murong, do you want to go sit in the peak? It's been a long time since I've been here. Senior Sister Yan even talked about you a few days ago.
.”
After talking about it, the woman in red had a smile on her face.
"Well... Brother Yu still has something to do, so I'll come back another day."
When he talked about Senior Sister Yan, Murong Bo's face changed drastically and his lips turned a little purple, which made Lin Xuan on the side very interesting.
After a few more words, the two of them said goodbye.
Watching his back disappear, the woman in red's expression quickly became cold, and she glanced at Lin Xuan: "Follow me."
His tone was repulsive, but Lin Xuan naturally didn't care. He touched his nose and followed the other person into Fire Cloud Peak.
To put it bluntly, things are a bit strange. When we were just outside, there were endless small restrictions, but after we really entered the core of the sect, there were none at all.
Lin Xuan murmured in his heart, of course he would not ask stupidly, as that would only arouse the other party's vigilance.
There was no conversation all the way, and after a long meal, the two finally arrived at a loft.
Although it was said to be one building, it was actually a very large one. However, Lin Xuan discovered that all the pavilions and pavilions were connected into one, which was ingenious but also extremely gorgeous.
"This is the place where all the masters practice. You can answer whatever I ask you later. Don't make any noise or move around at will." The woman finally turned around and warned Lin Xuan.
"Don't worry, girl, Lin knows the importance." Lin Xuan smiled and cupped his hand.
"Yes." The woman's face showed a satisfied look, her eyes fell, and she gently led Lin Xuan into the attic on the left.
There are many corridors inside, and I also met many immortal cultivators, most of whom were in the foundation-building stage, and there were also some children in the spiritual stage. Everyone looked hasty and serious.
After walking for a while, they met a female nun dressed in white.
"Senior Sister Ning, are Senior Uncle Lei free now?" The woman in red took two steps forward and spoke cautiously.
"Junior Sister Long, you are not in Danyang Pavilion, what are you doing here?" The face of the female cultivator in white was full of surprise.
"Senior sister, you remember wrongly. My little sister was on duty today and met senior brother Murong..." The woman in red slowly told what happened.
"That's it." The woman in white was relieved and looked at Lin Xuan: "This fellow Taoist is not weak in cultivation. He has successfully established the foundation at a young age. Are you really good at the art of alchemy?"
She was still a little skeptical, after all, not many casual practitioners dabbled in miscellaneous studies.
"To be honest, Fairy, by chance, I have indeed learned a thing or two." Lin Xuan spoke calmly.
"Yes." The woman in white nodded. She was not as indifferent to Lin Xuan as the woman in red. Although this fellow Taoist had an ordinary appearance, he was not flashy at all. He was obviously an honest and loyal person who is rare among immortal cultivators.
He was gone and sighed: "Fellow Daoist Lin, it's really unlucky that you're here. Uncle Lei is in seclusion refining elixirs. I'm afraid I won't be able to assess you. And whether you can join the sect or not, we, the foundation-building monks, have no right to decide."
"Ah?" Lin Xuan couldn't help being dumbfounded after hearing this. God's calculations are not as good as those of others. He thought he was lucky, but he never knew that he would encounter such a thing.
Alchemy?
As the young master of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, Lin Xuan naturally knows very well that some pills can be made in three to five days, some require months, some even years, and so on. He doesn’t know the surname Lei.
What kind of elixir do monks practice?
The two women were also in a dilemma. As the saying goes, being entrusted by others means being loyal, but they had no right to leave such a strange monk in the important place of the sect.
The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly a loud bang was heard in their ears, as if something huge had exploded.
"What happened?" The woman in red was shocked.
"No, it's Uncle Master's alchemy room." The woman in white reacted very quickly, and disappeared from the place in a flash.
The woman in red hesitated for a moment and then followed.
Lin Xuan's face showed a thoughtful look, and then returned to a normal expression, followed closely by Shi Shiran.
A cave house embedded in the attic appeared in front of him.
It felt a bit weird, but Lin Xuan didn't show much interest. There were many people with eccentricities in the world of immortality, so with his vast knowledge, he wouldn't be surprised.
The door of the cave was wide open, and inside there was an old man with white beard and hair, his face full of bad luck, and right next to him, there was an alchemy furnace that had been broken into two halves.
Under the alchemy furnace, there was a blazing fire of earth veins. Lin Xuan's consciousness was swept away, and he remained calm on the surface. He was overjoyed in his heart. In terms of the purity of the earth fire, it was no longer under the mountain of elixirs in the past.
"Uncle Lei, what's wrong?" The woman in red couldn't help but asked with concern.
However, the old man did not appreciate it, and instead rolled his eyes. When the two women saw it, they felt cold in their hearts and kept silent.
"It's strange, what exactly went wrong with this Sanyang Forging Soul Pill? Is it too much ginseng or insufficient Huiyang grass." The old man stroked his beard, looking like he was thinking hard.
