Chapter 10: The Apprentice of Alchemy

Zhang Yan took the exercises he chose, walked out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and before leaving, he bowed to the old king who was lying on the rocking chair and seemed to be asleep, in order to express his gratitude, no matter what the old man's purpose was, but it was the old man's suggestion in front of him that allowed him to choose the most suitable exercises and combat skills for himself.

Back in the small courtyard, Zhang Yan adjusted his state, sat cross-legged under the only big tree in the courtyard, and grabbed two of the ten low-grade dream source stones that the disciples of the outer sect of the refining city received every month, as Zhang Yan ran the Mixed Yuan Heaven Killing Decision in his body, the energy in the two low-level dream source stones flowed into Zhang Yan's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an energy that was unbearable for the dream cultivator who had just started the path of cultivation rampaged all the way along the running route of the Mixed Yuan Heaven Killing Decision, frantically impacting Zhang Yan's meridians, Zhang Yan used his spiritual power to look inwardly and saw that his meridians already had a slight crack in the Dao, and the crack was accompanied by a burst of sharp pain in his consciousness。

Zhang Yan knew that this was the first level of cultivating the Mixed Yuan Heaven Killing Decision, and if he couldn't hold on, his meridians would be cut off, and his life would be in danger. At this time, Zhang Yan's heart was more calm, and he had been using his mental power to restrain him with all his might, guiding the wild horse that had lost the reins, just when the sea of spiritual power was about to dry up and the pain was getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Yan's body gradually oozing blood beads, and the cyan disciple's clothes gradually became bloody, and in the dream world, the jade pendant, which had not moved since teaching the exercises, suddenly shot out a glimmer of light and integrated into the energy that was about to get out of control, and suddenly the energy gradually quieted down, and moved little by little according to the running line of the Mixed Yuan Heaven Killing Decision, and the damaged meridians where it passed gradually healedAfter a big week, this huge energy smoothly entered Zhang Yan's dantian and transformed into attributeless dream power. "Yu Pei, what are you, why did you choose me?" After the energy was successfully transformed into dream power, Zhang Yan said silently in his heart.

With the passage of time, the ten low-grade dream source stones turned into dust and scattered on the ground one by one, and the huge energy in them was enough for another dream pawn to ascend to the third order, and Zhang Yan looked at the pitiful few in his dantian, and only reached the dream power of the first order of the dream pawn, and there was infinite melancholy in his heart, " He is a big eater of food in this exercise, and he is also a big eater of resources in the physical exercises, and he can't do it with less money in the civilian area, and even less money when he reaches the sect, and he doesn't have the money to rely on himself to absorb the free energy in the air to cultivate, which will not be until the year of the monkey to meet the first requirement of the jade pendant. Thinking of this, Zhang Yan opened his eyes and glanced at the sky that had sunk, and then closed his eyes again and entered the state of hard cultivation.

Dream cultivation absorbs the free energy in the air, which is not only inefficient in transforming into dream power, but also requires strong mental power. Because the spiritual power is like a lighthouse, the energy is the moth that puts out the fire, the stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the attraction to the energy, and the free energy in the air is more violent, far less peaceful than the dream source stone, and the absorption process requires a strong spiritual force to suppress it in order to operate in the body.

Zhang Yan ran for another ten Great Zhou Tian, felt that his body had reached the limit, and immediately withdrew from his cultivation state. After the consciousness returned, Zhang Yan felt that his body was slimy, and a foul smell was even more rushing towards him, and then Zhang Yan thought of the "I Ching Washing the Marrow" said in the Mixed Yuan Heaven Killing Decision, when he lowered his head to inspect, the first thing that caught his eye was the clothes that had turned red, and the clothes were covered with blood, and the stench came from here. Thinking that he was now a "biological weapon", Zhang Yan shivered all over his body, and quickly removed his clothes, leaving only a pair of changed pants, and then fetched a few buckets of cold water from the well to rinse his body.

When he returned to the room, he looked at the slightly fair and smooth skin in the mirror, and instantly Zhang Yan was sparta, and while touching his smooth face, he said in a broken heart, "This is white, the bronzed skin and masculinity that I have practiced for six years are gone in an instant, gone, really gone...... Hey, I'm still a little handsome when I look at it this way. ”

(Zhang Yan's bronzed skin here is just his own imagination of his own black and thin.) )

Zhang Yan, who had redressed, walked into the courtyard, tied up a standard horse step, and punched straight punches in the air one after another, swinging dozens of punches in an instant.

"Boom" "Boom"...... The sound of breaking the air continued, Zhang Yan felt that such a straight punch could not really show the strength in his body, so he walked to the only big tree in the small courtyard, and punched with all his strength, hitting the thick trunk hard, and a fist mark that was three inches deep was left on the trunk, Zhang Yan felt the real power in his body, and for the first time had a clear direction for finding his parents.

The sun had just jumped out of the ground, and Zhang Yan, who was sitting under the big tree, exhaled a turbid breath from his mouth, got up and finished his morning cultivation, he looked inward at the few wisps of dream power he had cultivated in the morning, his two eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he thought, "Let's go to the sect today to find out what rewarding tasks are rich! Otherwise, the progress will be too slow to rely on your own cultivation every day." ”

There is a huge light curtain suspended in the middle of the task hall of the outer gate of the refining city, and the light curtain records the tasks that all the outer gate disciples can take, and the tasks are divided into one star and two stars,...... There are five levels of five-star tasks, and each task has realm requirements and danger levels, among which the five-star level tasks have the most abundant rewards and the highest danger.

At this time, the task hall was full of people coming and going, and there were people receiving and handing over tasks everywhere, so it was not lively, Zhang Yan, who was in the crowd, was standing under the light curtain and choosing a task that suited him, and suddenly a fleshy hand slapped him on the shoulder, " Brother, my name is Zhu Tong, a know-it-all who sends outsiders, at first glance, you are a new disciple, can you not find a good task, a low-grade dream source stone, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a fool, it is not difficult for you to find a fixed guarantee, the contribution value of the sect is high, and it is in the sect, do not carry out the task of fighting, how about it, are you interested?" Zhang Yan looked at the fat man in front of him who was selling melons and boasting about himself, and said: "Interested, but I don't have a dream source stone." ”

"Ahem, it's okay, who told us to have a fate! As long as the final task rewards you with 10% of my share." Zhu Tong said with a heroic face,

"Okay, as long as it's worth it, then I, Zhang Yan, will definitely keep my promise. Zhang Yan agreed, firstly, he is a newcomer, his strength is low, and it takes a lot of time to find a good task, and secondly, it is better to listen to what task this fat man can give, if there is no good task, just turn around and leave, anyway, he will not lose at all.

"This task is a three-star level task - being a refining apprentice for a month, rewarding one hundred low-level dream source stones and one hundred sect contributions. How about it, the rewards are rich enough!" Zhu Tong said with a smile,

Zhang Yan had also seen this information on the mission light curtain, and he was also impressed at that time, but there was too little mission information, and out of caution, he just took this task as an alternative. This time I heard it from the fat man's mouth again, and the curiosity in my heart increased greatly.

"Fatty, what else do you know besides these? These information tasks are all on the light curtain, and they are not worth such a high price. Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Daodao calmly, not confused by the bright prospects,

"Of course, if that's all there is, it's a jack-of-all-trades signboard for me. At first, this task was only a one-star level task, but because the requirements put forward by Elder Lin, who recruited apprentices, were too strange and harsh, and a lot of work was carried out every day, under the premise of a large number of losers, he never took this task again, and finally had to be promoted to the three-star level. Zhu Tong didn't expect a new disciple like Zhang Yan to be so shrewd, and said with a frustrated face,

"Okay, I've taken this task, and if I don't complete it, then the reward I promised you will be gone. If it does, a month later my place will come to me. Zhang Yan smiled and told the fat man where he lived.

"Brother, righteousness, I will say this to you today, you brother and I Zhu Tong. Zhu Tong looked at Zhang Yan with a surprised look and said.

Zhang Yan received the task, and immediately took the task scroll to Elder Lin's cave where the task was located, he looked at the canyon full of metal and broken weapons in front of him, and for a while he had nowhere to put his feet, so he had to stand in place and shouted, "Elder Lin, I am Zhang Yan, an outer disciple who came to be an apprentice of refining. Zhang Yan waited for a while to see that no one responded and had to repeat it again, still no one responded, just as he was about to enter the canyon, an explosion came from the canyon, and then it rained metal in the sky, and a meteor crossed the sky, "cough cough", I saw an old man in rags, black on his body, a white piece, and his face and hair were all gray while walking, coughing and coming out of the explosion, there was a feeling of never looking back at the explosion, just when Zhang Yan was stunned, the old man had come to him.
