Chapter 258: In front of the Hundred Medicine Gate
The rules of the Hundred Medicine Gate are indeed not suitable for messing around. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but no matter what, for people like Yunyi who have just arrived and don't even have a stable place to live, it is the first priority to get in first.
As for the future, we can only take one step at a time. Who could have predicted what would happen next?
As the older disciple announced the start of the assessment, the first column on the left hand side slowly moved forward.
Until this time, Yun Yi had not figured out how the Hundred Medicine Gate would be assessed. The locals should know how to assess the rules, Yun Yi is an outsider, how can he know the doorway, he can only observe carefully and wait patiently.
Out of the first column came a teenager, fifteen or sixteen years old, who seemed to be a little nervous, and walked very slowly.
The elder disciple of the Hundred Medicine Sect urged, "Please also act quickly, there are too many people to withstand the delay." ”
The young man hurriedly trotted to the front of the red candle formation, calmed his breath a little, and then, Yun Yi saw a multicolored ball emerge from the young man's body, heading towards the burning red candle cover.
Yun Yi was taken aback. He didn't expect that the cultivators of this realm would have such a talent and master the realm when he was only a teenager. This is even more genius than the genius of Exile Island.
Secretly frightened, he pondered a little, and then figured out the assessment method of the Hundred Medicine Gate.
The assessment of the Hundred Medicine Gate seems to be very simple, that is, to use the boundary barrier to extinguish the flame of the red candle. The height of the red candle is different, but the realm is bubble-shaped, if the red candle is not damaged, it is really a test of the degree of control of the realm.
At the same time, the size of the realm also directly reflects the strength of the assessor.
The only fly in the ointment is that if there is no time limit, it seems that all examiners can meet the qualifications for entry.
The elder disciple's next words dispelled Yun Yi's concerns, "It's time for five breaths, count the number of red candles." ”
The young man withdrew from the realm and said nervously: "I am Tong Yuan, from Lapel Village. ”
The disciples of the Hundred Medicine Sect have both records and counts. The results came out, "Two hundred in their original state." ”
When the boy heard this, he bowed down and went down with a sad face.
Yun Yi heard the whispers around him, and it seemed that the result was not ideal. And the evaluation of the original state seems to be even more critical. The original state refers to the fact that the morphology of the boundary does not change much, and only maintains a spherical shape. It also indirectly shows that the awareness is not strong.
The second person came to power, and it was also the time of five breaths, and the realm still maintained its original state, and there were more red candles extinguished, more than 200.
From other people's mouths, Yun Yi knows. If the realm remains in its original state, it will take at least 500 or more red candles to extinguish it before it is eligible to join the Hundred Medicine Gate.
If the realm can change its form with the height of the red candle, whether it is accompanying or water streaks, it only takes three hundred.
The entrance assessment of the Hundred Medicine Gate is not the quantity, but the proficiency of realm control. The more proficient it is, the more conducive it is to refining the elixir.
Refining elixir is a delicate work that is multi-purpose. How to manifest multitasking can be seen from the height of the red candle. Red candles vary in length and thickness, and once the burning flames are to be extinguished, the barriers of the realm need to maintain a different form. The more you fit into the flames, the more likely it is to be extinguished.
This requires that the consciousness is strong enough and the true yuan is rich enough, otherwise, it is basically impossible to extinguish enough red candles within a limited time.
The assessment continues.
The time of five breaths is not very long, the normal five breaths. If you don't have a good mentality, it's basically difficult to control the realm.
The third one was a girl in her twenties, who was nervous, and as soon as she went up, she released the realm and extinguished a large red candle. But the assessment was miserable, "In the original state, 700 candles, 530 damaged red candles, and the final result was 170." ”
The assessment will also be reversed.
The girl cried and stepped off the stage, and the older disciples of the Hundred Medicine Sect glared at her. The extinguished red candle still has to be lit, which will delay the effort.
Everyone's time is not long, and the assessment progress is very fast.
According to the standard, Yunyi counted the number of people who passed the assessment. Only three of the first 100 people succeeded, and the odds are very low. There were five or six thousand people who came to participate in the assessment, and it seemed that it would not be difficult to select 100 people.
The situation is dire.
Yun Yi weighed his strength and was secretly relieved. The assessment of Baiyaomen is not difficult, and you should be able to pass it.
There are indeed a lot of people who come to participate in the assessment, and there are four columns of teams, like a long line.
There were more than 1,000 people in each column, and after a morning of assessment, 5 or 600 people would be completed. If you let everyone go through it, it won't take much time.
At lunchtime, the elder disciple of the Hundred Medicine Sect suspended the assessment and set the rules, "I hope everyone will remember their position, don't add to it, and don't disrupt the order." Baiyaomen doesn't want to be opportunistic, if you really find out, don't blame me for being ruthless. Let's go have lunch and take another assessment in the afternoon. ”
When he finished speaking, the neat line dispersed.
Yun Yi realized at this time that he didn't bring food, and he was afraid that he was going to be hungry.
In the Daxing Empire, the aura was relatively abundant, and even if you didn't eat, the aura could nourish the body. Not here. The aura is thin, a lock of it, and not eating will definitely consume vitality.
When he was in trouble, he saw a group of disciples of the Hundred Medicine Sect carrying burdens appear on the mountain road, coming down from the mountain road. The smell of food wafted from the basket they picked.
Yun Yi frowned and rejoiced, could it be that Baiyaomen still cares about food?
When these disciples came to the bottom of the mountain and put the basket away, Yun Yi understood from their words that he had thought too much. They want to take advantage of the opportunity of the assessment in the door to sell food and earn some spirit stones.
The locals were very far-sighted and brought dry food, so Yunyi didn't prepare anything.
When he saw the others feasting, he reluctantly came to the basket and asked the price, "How much is a meal?"
"Two dishes and one soup plus a dough and a lower grade spirit stone. The disciple of the Hundred Medicine Sect said.
Yun Yi looked into the basket and pouted. This meal is fucking enough, it doesn't seem to even be a little greasy.
He still paid for one. Two spoonfuls of wild vegetables made up a bowl, which was light and tasteless. I still feel hungry after eating. Pursed his lips helplessly, and he would just take a moment.
It's sad.
After the meal, the assessment continues.
Yun Yi's position is a little behind, and it will be his turn too early. He simply stood up and listened to the gossip of the people around him.
The locals broke the news: "A bonfire dinner will be held at the foot of the mountain in the evening, and when the time comes, the inner and outer disciples of the Baiyaomen and the villagers from nearly 100 miles around will rush over." At the dinner, not only can you eat and drink, but you can also buy some exotic items. ”
This news made Yun Yi very excited. He didn't want to buy things, but to learn about the world from their mouths. When Tang Rui introduced him to him at the beginning, it was too general, but now that he is here, it is necessary to understand some things thoroughly.
As the sun set away, it got dark.
At the foot of the Baiyaomen, a huge crowd appeared one after another. There are villagers who have eaten and drunk enough, as well as merchants who come with horse-drawn carriages, and noblemen who are well-dressed, and naturally there are also disciples inside and outside the Hundred Medicine Sect.
The place where there are vendors is the market, and this market at the foot of the mountain is very lively.
At night, the surrounding area is full of fires, and the smell of food wafts through the air, making people salivate.
Yun Yi weaved through the crowd, searching for good food and listening to the messy gossip.
When he was full of food and drink, he knew about the Hundred Medicine Gate.
The Hundred Medicine Gate seems to be the leading sect in the surrounding realm, but in fact, it is the most ordinary existence in the Nine Ring Area. There are some such schools, which can be said to be countless, but the industries involved are different.
The door of 100 medicines is divided into inner and outer doors.
The disciples who have just arrived are all in the outer gate, and after a year of training and practice, if they perform well in the competition, they can enter the inner gate.
There is a big difference in the treatment of disciples from the inner and outer gates.
The outer disciples not only have to do sundries and maintain the basic operation of the sect, but also serve the inner disciples. For example, digging up medicinal herbs and doing such work.
Outer disciples have not yet been able to obtain the real cultivation exercises. As soon as it came up, it was some introductory things, spirit stones, and medicinal materials needed to be provided by themselves, and the refined pills had no autonomy, they needed to be handed over to the sect, and there were high-level sect distributions.
It can be said that the outer disciples are the long-term workers who work for free.
After learning this, Yun Yi couldn't help but think. Is cultivation really that important? A happy and prosperous life is not necessarily worse than an old immortal monster, right?
It seems that everyone has their own aspirations.
Having had enough of walking around the bazaar, Yunyi returned to the foot of the mountain. The campfire was still burning, and the firewood crackled from time to time. The kettle on the fire was steaming white, and the meat and bones that had not yet been eaten were slowly smelling mushy under the scorching flames, and the aroma of meat was also wafting away.
Cloud Wing sat down in front of the fire where no one was around. He remembered the scene many years ago, it was on the way to the capital, and he drank a bowl of broth, which was very fragrant.
I hope there's still a chance to go back. He silently looked forward to it.
The teleportation array was not something he could figure out right now.
There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and Yun Yi suddenly turned back and saw a young man in his twenties. Zhongzheng face, with confusion in his eyes, and a gentle face, not like a wicked person.
He stared at Yun Yi, as if he was thinking about something, and when he saw Yun Yi looking over, he clenched his fists apologetically, "I take the liberty to disturb my brother's platform, and I look at Haihan." Seeing your back, it seems to be an old friend. But the surname is Yun, and you're from Exile Island?"
Yun Yi narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but be vigilant. This is not the Daxing Empire, there is no possibility of acquaintances, how could he ......
No, Yun Yi suddenly realized that Zhu Chengming had escaped back and brought back a lot of the Zhu family. Could it be that the person in front of you is one of them?
In a flash of thought, he looked at the other party's eyes, very calm, and there was no hidden emotion. He said, "I'm Yunyi, I don't know Your Excellency?"
"I'll just say, how can there be such a similarity, I noticed you in the morning. The other party sat down beside Yun Yi unceremoniously with joy on his face, and turned his head to look over, "Brother Yun may not know me, but I have admired your name for a long time." ”
Yun Yi smiled, "That's my honor." Your Excellency ......"
The other party patted his eyebrows, "Look at my memory, I'm Zhu Taishan." I once saw Brother Yun in Jizhou City, but your reputation is too great, I didn't dare to come forward to speak. Oh, yes, little sister Zhu Chengtong has always remembered you. ”
"Zhu Chengtong?" Yun Yileng for a moment, became interested, and asked casually: "You and that little girl are not brothers and sisters, right?"
Zhu Taishan shook his head, "No, we are all side branches, and we came back with the sons of the Zhu family this time." ”
Yun Yi smiled and nodded, but his mind moved. The son-in-law of the Zhu family should be Zhu Chengming. He shouldn't know about my feud with him by now, and he doesn't need to be guarded.
"Brother Zhu, the eldest son is Zhu Chengming's senior?"
Zhu Taishan nodded, "That's him." However, after returning to the world of red leaves, he is not the eldest son. Back then, our ancestors were concubines, and now they can't even count as the last branch in the Zhu family. ”
Listening to his tone, Yun Yi felt that his relationship with Zhu Chengming was very estranged, without the slightest hint of family affection. This undoubtedly made Yunyi more reassured.
He enthusiastically gossiped with Zhu Taishan.
In the narration, Yun Yi learned that Zhu Taishan had already obtained the tacit approval of the Hundred Medicine Gate through the relationship of the Zhu family, and he could enter the door to learn the skills of refining pills.
He also learned that the medicine mountain controlled by the Hundred Medicine Sect had many small spiritual veins, which were very helpful for cultivation, but he had to become an inner disciple.
Some fragmentary information made Yunyi's understanding of the world of red leaves more profound.
"Brother Yun, listen to my advice, don't be in the limelight in the Hundred Medicine Gate. Every year on the 10th day of October, there is a sacrificial ceremony. Anyone who is in the limelight will not end well, and they are likely to be targeted by the Divine Power Palace. If that's the case, it's miserable. Zhu Taishan seemed to be familiar with himself, and he told Yun Yi in a shallow and deep way.
Yun Yi nodded hurriedly. He had heard Tang Rui say this a long time ago. It's just not as scary as Zhu Taishan said.
At that time, Tang Rui's lecture on sacrifice was only aimed at high-level cultivators, and now I see that his words are a little reserved. Sacrifice seems to involve all practitioners, from the highest to the lowest.
"Taishan, why is there a sacrifice?" Yun Yi really couldn't understand how much the master sacrifice could replenish the energy of heaven and earth. Can a weak sacrifice have the effect of a fart?
"Well...... this" Zhu Taishan thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Cultivators are actually livestock raised by big people. The fatter and stronger the livestock, the more dangerous it is, and it must be taken care of before it happens. ”
This statement made Yun Yi break out in a cold sweat, this is too ruthless, right?
It is really contradictory that cultivators want to become masters, but they are afraid of becoming masters.
"There's no solution?" Yun Yi asked.
"Yes. Zhu Taishan leaned into his ear, "Let me tell you, as long as you are always a weak person among the masters, and a strong person among the weak, you will have no worries about life." ”
Yun Yi thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but be happy. Tang Rui once said such things, and it is not a shame to change the flag.
If you reach the peak of a sect, then quickly avoid the sacrifice and find a stronger sect, won't you become a weak person?
The two talked for a while.
Zhu Taishan seemed to have seen his family, and told Yunyi everything he had heard about Balabala. Some of these messages are useful, some seem to be hearsay, and it is up to Yun Yi to judge whether they are true or false.
It's late at night.
There was silence at the foot of Baiyaomen Mountain, and the fire seemed to be extinguished as if it were slowly decreasing.
Yun Yi poured some wood on the fire in front of him, and fell asleep in a faint warmth.
He was awakened by the cold. There are still stars in the sky, the temperature is a bit low, and the sky is not yet dawn.
He looked at those stars and couldn't help but wonder, what was the end of his cultivation?
