Huang Yanyao's eyes turned, and when he saw that he just swept each page up and down and turned over, he couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

"Read a book. Xu Daoyun replied without raising his head.

Huang Yanyao put the book on the table, lowered his voice and said, "You turned it so fast, what do you think?"

Xu Daoyun looked at it and said with a smile: "Miss Huang, haven't you forgotten that I have the ability to see ten lines and never forget?"

Huang Yanyao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Have you ever talked about it?"

Xu Daoyun stopped moving in his hand, looked up and thought about it, and grinned: "It seems that I haven't said it." ”

Huang Yanyao snorted coldly, and immediately stopped paying attention to him, and continued to look down at the book.

With just one cup of tea, Xu Daoyun finished reading the entire "Yuheng Hundred Herbs Sutra" and kept it in mind, so he got up and put the book back on the shelf, picked seven or eight more in one go, and continued to read.

Huang Yanyao saw that his speed of reading was getting faster and faster, and he couldn't help but say: "Hey, if you read a book like this, although you can remember the content, can you really understand the deep meaning of the book? ”

Xu Daoyun replied with a smile: "Persuade you not to use clear words, and it is difficult to distinguish between words." ”

"Crooked!"

Time flies, and it is three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Daoyun closed the last book, stretched his waist, looked sideways at Huang Yanyao, who had not even finished reading a third of the "Yuheng Hundred Herbs Sutra", and asked: "The hour is not early, just read the book, so as not to forget to sleep and eat, go to the dining hall to eat something?"

Huang Yanyao said without raising his head: "Go by yourself, I'm not hungry." ”

Xu Daoyun sighed, "Hey, in the past, when Tie Niu was around, the two of us went together, but now I am the only one left, so I really don't have much interest." ”

"Then don't eat it, anyway, it's okay if we monks don't eat for a few days. ”

Xu Daoyun was about to get up, but suddenly his eyes were staring at Huang Yanyao's watch, and he grinned: "For the sake of the bracelet I gave you, how about taking a trip with me to the dining hall?"

Huang Yanyao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly pulled down his sleeves, covered the jade bracelet, and pouted: "Hmph, isn't it just a broken bracelet, it's really troublesome!"

With that, she closed the book, put it back on the shelf, and followed Xu Daoyun to the dining hall.

......

The second day, the beginning of the morning.

All the Taoist disciples gathered in the square of Longnan Peak, still led by Ding Yangzi, and he smiled: "Today I will take you to Danshan to test Dan nature, you must be in good spirits." All disciples who are qualified to become pharmacists can join Danshan, while striving for perfection on the path of cultivation, while practicing Danshu medicine, and the spiritual herbs obtained from the future medicine collection canon or cultivation down the mountain can be refined into pills and elixirs by themselves, which not only has a miraculous effect on the cultivation journey, but also has other uses. ”

"Disciple remember. All the disciples agreed in unison.

Elder Gu Dong led everyone to turn left and right, and walked for two teas before they came to a hill full of fiery red maple trees, the mountain was from north to south, vertical and horizontal, and it was beautiful.

Ding Yangzi smiled and introduced: "Junior brothers and sisters, this mountain in front of you is our Taoist Danshan. Danshan Danshan, as the name suggests, is the mountain used to refine the elixir, and the disciples or deacons who live in the Danshan are all pharmacists and are responsible for the supply of cultivation resources that we receive every month. ”

"You guys perform well, if you can pass the Dan sex test and join Danshan, the benefits in the future are endless. ”

When the disciples who followed behind to probe their brains heard this, they all showed their fascination, alchemy and refining medicine, this is something that could not be touched in the past, and these pills are often extremely expensive, not affordable by ordinary people, so there is the phrase "poor and rich and rich".

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to become a Medicine Master now, and it would be a great blessing if I could avoid so many high expenses.

However, Ding Yangzi's next words were like pouring a basin of cold water on the heads of the disciples who were burning with a raging fire, "When the conditions for becoming a Medicine Master Danshi are extremely harsh, it is lower than the pass rate of your participation in the hundred schools of selection at the beginning, and it is much lower, and there are very few people who pass. ”

"In this way, people with extraordinary comprehension qualifications are even rarer, and there is such a figure in every new disciple, and the elders of the mountain gate will be overjoyed. ”

Everyone walked on the long iron bridge, Huang Yanyao looked at it with an idle temperament, following a female disciple and constantly asking this and that, like a fart worm, and like a sparrow, the noise made people's ears hurt.

Xu Daoyun raised his head, took a deep breath of the medicinal fragrance and floral fragrance of Danxiang floating in the breeze, only felt refreshed, relaxed, and breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel happy and smiled.

Ding Yangzi said with a smile: "Why, Danshan not only has beautiful scenery, but also bursts of fragrance in the air, these medicinal fragrances make people feel uplifted, and help them practice and fall asleep." ”

Xu Daoyun suddenly realized, "I see, no wonder Danshan wants to be closed with an enchantment, it turns out that the Danxiang and medicinal incense here have such an effect, it is a pity if it overflows." ”

"The junior brother is really smart. Ding Yangzi praised it, but it aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of the people around him.

Xu Daoyun ignored these strange gazes, raised his eyes, and looked through the fiery red maple trees that landed on an antique sloping roof ancient building, grinning, "It's so beautiful." ”

"Visionary. ”

Huang Yanyao on the side sniffed hard and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant." ”

Walking on the path paved with fiery red maple leaves to the ancient building behind the maple forest, Xu Daoyun looked up, and there was a plaque hanging on the ancient building, which had three gilded characters written on it - Trial Dan Building.

As the name suggests, it should be the place where the disciples of Danshan used to test the pills, which are four or five stories high, not gorgeous, and look antique, plus the bursts of danxiang wafting out of it, which makes people feel refreshed.

At this time, a person came out of the trial building.

Ding Yangzi hurriedly bowed his hand, "Elder Gu." ”

The person who came was a mature woman, with curved willow eyebrows and a graceful body, exuding the charm of a mature woman, which is a good interpretation of the words gentle like water. Now she has anger in her eyes, her eyes are full of anger, and the beauty is angry, which is quite a different beauty, which makes people feel relaxed and intoxicated.

Many male disciples were stunned and were completely impressed by her charm.

The woman glanced at the disciples and asked in a cold voice, "It's all here?"

Ding Yangzi nodded, "One is not bad." ”

"Okay, let's get started. ”

"Yes. Ding Yangzi immediately organized everyone to sit in front of the trial pill building, and then took out a roster and called four people to enter the trial pill building for testing.

Not long after, Ding Yangzi walked out with four dejected male and female disciples, Elder Gu Dong sighed, there was no need to ask, the success or failure was obvious.

The so-called entry does not ask about honor and disgrace, and you will know it by looking at your face.

Next, Ding Yangzi led the four disciples to try the Dan Tower.

Huang Yanyao said uneasily: "The four of them actually failed to pass, is this Dan sex test really so harsh?"

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "Do you think that alchemy and refining medicine are not as good as cultivation, as long as you can sense the aura of heaven and earth and store it in the dantian." Pharmacist Danshi attaches great importance to all aspects of qualifications and talents, and the truth is profound and complex, and it is not something that can be explained in a few words. After a while, the Dan sex test will prove that you have the talent for alchemy, and the other reason is that you don't have to rush to teach in the future. ”

Huang Yanyao rolled his eyes and muttered, "As if you've already passed, hum." ”

"You see, they're coming out. Xu Daoyun looked up at the Trial Pill Tower, and Ding Yangzi walked out with four disciples with the same faces as the four in front, shook his head at Elder Gu Dong, and smiled bitterly.

Elder Gu Dong sighed again, waved his hand and let the four disciples walk into the side door.

Huang Yanyao whispered: "There have been eight people in it, and none of them have passed the Dan sex test, you see, Elder Gu's face is gloomy and almost dripping." ”

Xu Daoyun also felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, the entire first floor of the Trial Dan Building was silent, quiet and terrifying, all of this was caused by Elder Gu Dong, who was not far away with his arms folded in front of his chest, bowing his head and being silent, making people unable to see her face clearly.

He thought to himself, this pill test is really extremely strict, no wonder the Medicine Master Danshi is so valued by the sect, more deacons like this can speed up the output of the pill, so as to obtain more cultivation resources. ”

Whether a sect can be strong depends on the continuous supply and foundation, and of course, the strength of the people in the sect. And in addition to the high and low talents of each of these high and strong people, the supply of cultivation resources also determines most of the advantages and disadvantages, which is why Gu Changlao's face is so ugly.

"It's over, it's over. ”

Huang Yanyao, who was extremely nervous in his heart, frowned and asked, "What's wrong, it's inexplicable." ”

Xu Daoyun whispered: "I thought that I was sure to pass the Dan sex test, but now it seems that it is really hanging, I don't know if I can pass it." ”

Huang Yanyao pursed his lips and said angrily: "The breath is so big, be careful to choke to death." ”

After a while, the door curtain was lifted, and Ding Yangzi walked out with a smile on his face, Elder Gu Dong also looked up, only to hear him smile and say, "Elder Gu, there is one person who has passed the Dan sex test." ”

As soon as he raised his hand, a delicate-looking girl immediately walked out of the four people behind him, standing in place in a panic, bowing his head to Elder Gu Dong, and said timidly: "Disciple Shu Wenqing, I have seen Elder Gu. ”

Elder Gu was overjoyed, nodded again and again, took two steps forward, patted Shu Wenqing, who was a little panicked, on the shoulder, changed his gloomy face, and said softly: "Good boy, good job, stay in my Danshan in the future and practice Danshu well." ”

When Gu Dongyu's palm landed on his shoulder, Shu Wenqing was shocked, nodded tremblingly, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Disciple understands." ”

Gu Dong naturally saw that she was timid, raised her hand to her side, and nodded to Ding Yangzi.

Ding Yangzi understood, waved his hand and let the four disciples enter the trial pill building.

Not long after, the curtain of the side door was lifted, and Ding Yangzi walked out with four disciples with different faces with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Elder Gu, there is another disciple who has passed the Dan sex test. ”

"Disciple Zhang Taiping has seen Elder Gu. ”

Then the test continued, and since Xu Daoyun sat relatively backward, he was the last to be called, along with Huang Yanyao.

After following Ding Yangzi into the side door, there was a wide room, three zhang long and three zhang wide, and a curtain ran through the middle, isolating the three-zhang long room.

There are four magic circles engraved with strange runes on the bluestone floor in the room, and the magic circles are looking at each other from end to end, although they are chaotic, those who know this door can see the clues.

This is a mystical small formation, its role is no other, it cannot resist foreign enemies, and it cannot absorb and gather the aura of heaven and earth, and it has only one function, which is to test the five elements.

Ding Yangzi said with a smile: "Heaven and earth are constructed by the five elements, and human beings are naturally conceived, so they also belong to the five elements. When heaven and earth are not divided, it is called a state of chaos. Heaven and earth are mixed together, the sun, moon and stars are not generated, the cold and heat of day and night do not alternate, there is no wind, rain, thunder and lightning above, and there is no grass, trees, mountains, rivers, people, birds, insects and beasts below. ”

At this time, a stream of aura coiled and ran in it, so water was born from Taiyi, fire was born from Taiyi, wood was born from Taisu, gold was born from Taisu, and earth was born from Taiji. This is where the five elements come from. Since then, heaven, earth and man have developed in their own way. ”

"If there is no earth, the earth cannot cover the earth, if the earth has no soil, it cannot bear all the things on the earth, and there is nowhere for grain to grow; if there is no earth, man cannot reproduce naturally and the five constants will not stand. Therefore heaven, earth and man shall not be without soil. ”

"If there is no soil in wood, it will lose the power of cultivation, if there is no earth, fire will not shine in all directions, if there is no earth, it will be difficult to exert sharp energy, and if water has no soil, it will not be able to overflow in all directions by means of the earth. If the earth has no water and no wood, it cannot sustain all things, and without fire and gold, it cannot multiply. This is the indispensable principle of the five elements, and the five elements are built from this. ”

"The five elements are mutually reinforcing, and the ancestors are well aware of this truth, and have created a cultivation method and thousands of side doors and left ways through the law of the five elements. The door of alchemy is a branch that extends from the five elements, and it is gradually known to the world, but the conditions are extremely harsh, and those who cultivate this door need to have fire, water, wood, metal, earth, and all of them are indispensable in the five elements. ”

"Because there are many methods of alchemy that are difficult to fix, the power of the five elements that needs to be mobilized for cultivating different pills is also different, and the more complex elixirs often require three or even four kinds of five elements to be mobilized at the same time to succeed. ”

"The person I just said has both the five elements is a perfect alchemist, in fact, as long as there is fire and water in the five elements, he can refine the pill, but if the five elements are missing, the pills that can be refined are extremely limited, unless they are assisted by external forces, but the price will be too great. ”

Huang Yanyao and the three of them didn't say a word, and their stunned appearance really made people wonder if they had listened to their words.

Xu Daoyun thought clearly, listened to it clearly, pondered for a moment, and asked curiously: "Senior brother, how many of the five elements of Shu Wenqing and Zhang Taiping have just passed?"

Ding Yangzi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Senior brother is quite curious. After a pause, he did not hide it, and replied: "Shu Wenqing is fire, water, and metal, and Zhang Taiping is fire, water, and earth." ”

Xu Daoyun nodded, thoughtful, "Then the two of them should have good alchemy talents, right?"
