It was already three days after I came out of the ashram.

No one knew what Ye Ning was doing during the three days of retreat in the ashram, including Huang Ye and Zhuyun guarding the door, not to mention Yue Xuan in the princess's mansion.

For three days, no one bothered Ye Ning, except for Li Dan, who had patrolled outside the mansion master's gate, but he was directly sent away by Zhuyun, and he didn't even enter the mansion master's gate.

Ten parts of refining the spiritual materials of the Erdan, if it weren't for Ye Ning's successful condensation of the infant, entering the Yuan Infant Period, and perfecting the Yin and Yang Immortal Root, condensing the Taiyin True Water, he really couldn't finish processing these spiritual materials, the Taiyin True Water and the Sun True Fire cooperate with each other, and the efficiency of refining the impurities of the spiritual materials is several times higher than simply using the Sun True Fire, and the quality of the purified spiritual material essence is also on a higher level, if not, I am afraid it will take several times more time.

After spending a few more days dealing with some mundane affairs of the Danshi Mansion, Ye Ning opened another list of spiritual materials, instructed Zhu Yun to go to the Treasure Pavilion to collect the materials, and asked the Earth Flame Mountain to prepare the alchemy room, and then sent Huang Ye to the Princess Mansion to summon the news.

Although Ye Ning did not allow Yue Xuan to observe the alchemy when Yue Li came that day, and then Yue Xuan did not let anyone mention the matter again, Ye Ning still asked Huang Ye to summon the matter, telling Yue Li that he was going to open the furnace for alchemy in Earth Flame Mountain, and invited Her Royal Highness the princess to watch the ceremony.

When Ye Ning came to the No. 1 Alchemy Room of Tianzi in Earth Flame Mountain, Yue Xuan and Yue Li, Yue Xiang, Chen Shu and Uncle Qing also arrived as promised.

Yue Xuan thanked him when he met: "Thank you master for allowing Yue Xuan to observe alchemy." ”

Ye Ning smiled and waved his hand: "No thanks, it should be Ye's honor for His Highness to come to watch the ceremony." ”

Since Yue Xuan has changed his name. Ye Ning did not salute as a subordinate again.

Yue Xuan said: "Chen Shu is an inner disciple of the Northern Xuanzong, and he is good at the formation path. Uncle Qing was born in the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect, and his sword skills are difficult to match. Let the two of them protect the Dharma outside the Dan Chamber. ”

Chen Shu and Uncle Qing bowed down and agreed.

Ye Ning also thanked him: "There are two of you." ”

Chen Shu and Uncle Qing hurriedly returned the salute: "It should be possible to protect the Dharma for Master Ye, and I will thank Master Ye for his elixir." ”

Ye Ning's eyes turned on the two of them, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhu Yan Dan and Yun Shen Dan were given to them by His Royal Highness, and they have nothing to do with Ye. ”

Chen Shu has regained her youthful and beautiful appearance at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and she no longer looks like a young woman when she first saw her, and Uncle Qing's spirit has also changed greatly from when she first saw her, and with Ye Ning's eyes, she can naturally see it. The two of them took Zhuyan Pill and Yunshen Pill respectively, and they couldn't help but admire Yue Xuan a little in their hearts.

Yue Xuan chuckled when he heard this: "The elixir is refined by Master Ye, so naturally I have to thank Master Ye, I just changed my hand." ”

Chen Shu and Uncle Qing stayed outside the Dan Room, Ye Ning and Yue Xuan entered the alchemy room one after another, and the more they left, the more Xiang and the two of them stayed on the side.

has promised Yue Xuan to observe his alchemy, Ye Ning naturally doesn't care about adding Yue Li and Yue Xiang, not to mention that these two are Yue Xuan's real henchmen, just by listening to the name. Even if she is not a side branch of the royal family, she is a personal maid who has been adopted by her side since she was a child.

Seeing that Ye Ning entered the Dan room and directly started to clear the furnace, Yue Xuanqi said, "Don't you need to set up a defensive formation this time?" ”

Ye Ning said with a smile: "There are two masters who are protecting the Dharma outside, and there is His Royal Highness here. Why bother? The reason why I had to lay out the formation last time was just in case, but fortunately there was no waste of materials. ”

Yue Xuan pursed his lips and smiled. Said: "I still want to see Master Ye's Formation Dao learning, so I have to ask Master Ye for advice later." ”

Ye Ning said: "Ye's array skills are nothing but wild fox Zen. It's not a masterpiece, it's just a bit of a kit kat at all. ”

The last defensive formation Yue Xuan had seen with his own eyes. Ye Ning naturally couldn't fool the past, not to mention that he was still thinking about entering the Tianxuan Dao Academy and even worshipping the Northern Xuanzong under the banner of learning the formation path, of course, there was no need to hide it in front of Yue Xuan.

Yue Xuan said: "Do you need to avoid Yue Xuan for a while?" ”

Ye Ning shook his head while clearing the furnace and warming the furnace: "No need, Ye's alchemy is to put it bluntly, it's just that there are some tricks in dealing with the method of concocting spiritual materials, and there is nothing to keep secret in the process of real alchemy, just look at it." ”

Yue Xuan said: "Oh? The master has already processed the spiritual materials? ”

Ye Ning nodded: "Ye Mou's alchemy is all concocted first, and then the furnace is opened. ”

Although Yue Xuan was curious, he didn't continue to ask, sitting cross-legged on the side, carefully observing Ye Ning's alchemy technique, whether he understood it or not, he didn't open his mouth to disturb Ye Ning.

The farther away the more fragrant the two stood far behind Yue Xuan, not in front.

Ye Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that he would have to explain, so he specially prepared a large list of rhetoric for this purpose, but he didn't expect Yue Xuan to lightly reveal it in this section, and he didn't delve into it, but he saved him a lot of words, and he was naturally happy to save trouble.

The earth fire of the Earth Flame Mountain has been blessed by the formation, although it cannot be compared to the true fire of the sun, but it is much better than the Dan Fire of ordinary immortal cultivators, and the most important thing is that it can provide a steady stream of flames, and the alchemist only needs to control the fire, which virtually reduces the strength and difficulty of alchemy, making it possible for low-level Dan masters to refine high-level spirit pills.

For example, the pharmacist, limited by the level of cultivation, cannot have the Danhuo, if there is no earth fire, it is impossible to open the furnace for alchemy, or the Danhuo is not mellow enough, and when refining some elixirs, there will be a lack of strength, which will often make the alchemist's previous efforts wasted.

Generally speaking, the more profound the cultivation is, the stronger the ability to control the flames, and the processes such as distributing medicine and collecting pills are also inseparable from the control of divine consciousness, so the level of cultivation is often an important factor in measuring and restricting the level of alchemists.

Ye Ning's thorough concocting, extraction, and purification of the spiritual medicine materials in advance actually reduced the loss of divine consciousness in the alchemy process, but the vast majority of alchemists completed this process in the Dan furnace, and if they were tempered in advance, it would be far from meeting the needs of alchemy.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to be seen by Yue Xuan that he had the true fire of the sun and the true water of Taiyin, Ye Ning didn't want to do it too much, and wasted a lot of work in vain. These procedures can be completed in the process of alchemy, saving a lot of time at the same time. It also avoids the dissipation of the essence of medicinal herbs.

Ye Ning has the Qingxu Divine Bead, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about the dissipation of the spiritual energy of the medicinal herbs. No other alchemist could do that.

Therefore, when Yue Xuan saw Ye Ning's medicine, he directly injected the spiritual essence in the jade bottle into the Dan furnace, and immediately showed an incredible look, not to mention how to purify these spiritual essence to such an extent, just the means of preserving the spiritual essence made Yue Xuan breathtaking.

Extracting spiritual materials in advance saved Ye Ning a lot of alchemy time and opened the furnace for alchemy. It's just the fusion process of the essence of the spiritual material, with the cooperation of the magic trick, this alchemy process is really lackluster, and in just a few hours, it has reached the final collection procedure.

As the lid of the Dan furnace was uncovered, more than ten golden pills the size of pigeon eggs turned into streamers and were stored in the jade bottle by Ye Ning.

Casually handing the jade bottle into Yue Xuan's jade palm, Ye Ning said: "A total of twelve Erjin Pills, the quality has reached the best." ”

Yue Xuan clutched the jade bottle. The joints of the fingers are a little white: "Ten...... Twelve? ”

She had been frightened by Ye Ning's unexpectedly terrifying pill rate, because what Ye Ning injected into the Dan furnace was the essence of the purified spiritual material, so Yue Xuan didn't know that in fact, these Erjin Pills were just a refining of alchemy materials. Otherwise, I don't know what the expression will be.

After a long time with a tea cup, Yue Xuan calmed down. Poured out a golden pill from the jade bottle, pinched it on his fingertips and admired it for a moment before saying, "Sure enough, they are all the best elixirs!" Ten parts of the material, twelve of the Erdan. The Dan rate alone is better than countless Dan Kings, not to mention that the quality of the elixir has all reached the top! There was a pause. Yue Xuan suddenly turned around and instructed Yue Li Yue Xiang: "You haven't heard or seen anything today, understand?!" ”

Yue Liyue Yue Xiang also had a ghostly look on their faces, but after listening to Yue Xuan's instructions, they immediately returned to calm: "The maid understands!" ”

It's not that Ye Ning didn't want to be greedy for a few Du Erdan, but he didn't know too little about Yue Xuan, and Yue Xuan's cultivation techniques were also extremely peculiar, with his vision and divine sense, he couldn't judge Yue Xuan's actual cultivation, as for whether Yue Xuan had other unknown strange abilities, Ye Ning was even more unclear, so he didn't do anything under Yue Xuan's nose, so as not to be seen something, then it really outweighed the loss.

Such a high Dan rate, in fact, far exceeded Ye Ning's own expectations, I thought that I would be satisfied if I could refine two or three, who would have thought that there would be twelve Dan, and each of them would be the best, if it was refined again, Ye Ning believed that he was ten out of ten sure that he would refine the superb Erdan, so that the medicinal power and aura of the elixir would be more restrained, and the Dan halo would be more warm.

Looking back, Yue Xuan carefully put away the jade bottle, and then said to Ye Ning: "Master Ye is too condescending to stay in Fengcheng Danshi Mansion, let's go to Yue Xuan's Mansion to serve as an offering, after returning to the royal capital, Yue Xuan will recommend the master to serve in the Tianxuan Dao Academy in the royal capital, how about it?" ”

Although Ye Ning regretted it extremely much in his heart, he didn't allow him to hesitate more at this time, and said almost without thinking about it: "It was Ye Mou's honor to be able to go to His Highness's mansion, as for the offering, there is no need to mention it again, Ye Mouzhi is not here, as long as he can worship the sect and practice the formation path, he will have nothing else to ask for, if His Highness has any needs, as long as Ye Mou can do his best, he will definitely go all out!" ”

Yue Xuan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't let today's matter get out." ”

Ye Ning felt a chill in his heart, if it was really as Yue Xuan said, he would be able to enter the princess's mansion by himself.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, and now there is only one step at a time, but fortunately, he has enough hole cards, but he doesn't have to worry about safety, not to mention, Yue Xuan's purpose is to refine the elixir for the princess's mansion, and there will be no threat to his safety.

As long as you have enough spiritual materials, can you still worry about cultivating and not being able to improve? ――

To Ye Ning's surprise, Yue Xuan returned to the royal capital on the day he returned to the princess's mansion, but he was not asked to accompany him.

The position of the head of the Fengcheng Danshi Mansion did not let Ye Ning hand it over, but asked Yue Li to explain the errand of the medicine king Bi Yaoqing to him, it seems that he wanted him to take the place of the medicine king Bi Yaoqing in the royal capital.

Bi Yaoqing is the worship of the Yue royal family, the core of the Yue Guo Danshi Mansion, and has an extraordinary status in the royal family.

Ye Ning can refine the best Du'er Dan, at least in terms of alchemy, he is far superior to Bi Yaoqing, and it is naturally not a problem to replace Bi Yaoqing's original position in the kingdom, Bi Yaoqing's most important role in the kingdom is to refine the elixir for the kingdom, and to take charge of the kingdom's Danshi Mansion, with Ye Ning's alchemy embodied in it, these errands are naturally easy to do.

"Her Royal Highness the princess hurriedly returned to the royal capital, but what is the urgency?"

After Yue Li explained Bi Yaoqing's errand to Ye Ning, what he said the most was some entanglements in the Yue royal family, especially the power disputes of several princes, and then the intricate relationship between Yue and several neighboring countries, but he said very little about the major affairs of the sect that Ye Ning was most concerned about.

"Well, it's not a big deal," Yue Centrifugal explained nonchalantly, "This year coincides with the rookie competition held in the Qinglan Empire, Yue Guo is one of the venues in several competition areas set by the empire, originally the eldest prince was in charge of the specific responsibility, but now there is a mistake, the second prince has robbed the dominance, and the seventh prince is also eyeing the eldest prince, and His Royal Highness is going back to help the eldest prince." ”

"Rookie Contest?"

On the way to Fengcheng, Ye Ning had heard Chu Huan, Lou Ling and others talk about it, but he didn't know much, but he didn't expect that it was actually involved in the power dispute of the Yue Kingdom, however, this is an opportunity to get the qualification for the entrance to the two palaces and one mountain, I remember that Nan Wanghai once said that this selection competition may be related to the qualifications of the two palaces and one mountain to open the mountain gate, Su Cuiping also once mentioned that the Yue Kingdom seems to have the selection qualifications for recruiting people from the Holy Land.

"It is a grand gathering of all immortal cultivators, families, wealthy families and secular national immortal cultivators, and immortal cultivators who have won the ranking have the opportunity to get unexpected rewards, and they may also be accepted by the big sects.

Ye Ning couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this: "Are all people eligible to participate?" ”

Yue Li nodded first and then shook his head: "No, the rules have changed every time, there are both bone age restrictions and the division of cultivation levels, and immortal cultivators can't sign up alone, by the way, do you want to test the water?" ”

Ye Ning said: "There is a color head to take, why don't you go?" I just don't know if I can sign up. ”

Yue Li pursed his lips and said, "Of course you can, don't you just represent the princess's mansion?" I don't think you can get anything out of it, though. ”

Ye Ning was first overjoyed in his heart, and then he was stunned: "Why is this?" ”

Yue Li said: "When the time comes, you will understand when you go and see...... Although the rookie competition is more than anything, in the final analysis, strength is still respected, and if you only rely on alchemy, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass the entry qualifiers, and there are really not too many geniuses.
