Chapter 36: The Blue Flame

"What's going on with Jun'er's poison, will it affect him to participate in your alchemy disciple selection competition?" Gu Yan had a sad face, his eyes were full of concern, his increasingly thin body was a little tired, he leaned on the bookshelf in the study, and sighed uncontrollably, "My poor Jun'er, I really suffered a hardship that others have not suffered, and I have suffered a sin that ordinary people have never suffered......

"Senior brother, don't worry too much, these few afternoons, when Jun'er came to the Danfang to guard the furnace, I had called his pulse, and I didn't feel anything abnormal, which shows that the strange poison that makes Gu Jun's bones mutate is not easy to attack. Listening to Gu Jun's meaning, this poison has had two attacks in total, both times when his life is in danger, and then taking the detoxification pill I refined and then pranayama, he will slowly recover his body. So he shouldn't have a problem with tomorrow's tryouts. ”

Jin Daotu twisted his beard and pondered the origin of the strange poison on Gu Jun's body, and sighed unconsciously, "Gu Jun, this kid doesn't know how this poison got on his body, the disappearance of those three months, no matter how I ask him, he only said that he was cultivating condensation in the deep forest, and never mentioned that he met anyone, does this poison really have nothing to do with Wu Hook?"

"Wu Hook doesn't see anyone dead or corpse in his life, he must be hidden in the dark and secretly communicate with Concubine Li, Jun'er is young, even if it is Wu Hook's hand, Jun'er may not know. There is no need to ask him about this matter in the future, lest he be so serious that he will do anything stupid. It's good for us to do our own covert visits. ”

For the protection of Gu Jun, Gu Yan really felt more and more powerless, thinking that by keeping him away from the power center of the palace, he would be protected from persecution, but he didn't expect that the people in the palace were not ancient, and there were many villains, and Gu Jun's suffering was unabated.

"The most important thing now is to let Jun'er take advantage of this opportunity to select alchemy disciples to stand out and become a veritable disciple, so as to regain the attention of the princess and the prince, so as to ensure that he can grow up healthy and happy in the future, and I will feel at ease!"

"Senior brother, please rest assured, I have seen Gu Jun's alchemy, whether it is the invocation of fire attribute energy or the grasp of the heat of medicinal materials in the Dan furnace, he has no problem, and tomorrow's exam question is to refine the detoxification pill, Gu Jun's detoxification pill is very skillful, and he will definitely be able to get the top three position. ”

"That's good, it's just that the medicinal materials and Dan furnace used by Gu Jun tomorrow must be carefully inspected, don't let that Li family take advantage of the loophole and hurt Jun'er!"

"I have ordered someone to prepare everything that Gu Jun will use tomorrow, I will personally check it, there is no problem, please rest assured, senior brother. ”

"The woman of the Li family is scheming, and now there is Wu Gou outside the palace, it is better to be careful about tomorrow! If Jun'er is framed by the Li family again this time, I am afraid that the princess will also attack Jun'er!"

"Why is that?!"

"The princess has already told me that Jun'er was persecuted by the Li family, although I was forced to break off the father-son relationship with Jun'er, but Jun'er is young and ignorant, and she must hate me in her heart.

"What?!Kill Jun'er?!"

Gu Yan nodded helplessly, with tears in his old eyes, choked the words in his throat, and said intermittently: "...... I...... I am the head of a sect...... Even ...... I can't even protect my own righteous son...... I...... Worthy of being a father!"

"As soon as you enter the Houmen, who is not involuntarily unable to help herself? The princess's consideration is not unreasonable, but she does not have the slightest human affection! I see that Gu Jun really has hatred in his heart, and he has never been secretive about his own affairs, and he does not tell outsiders the slightest. I, an old man of a few decades, couldn't see what this seven-year-old child was thinking all day...... It's just that Gu Jun is very talented, it's a pity to kill him!"

"What's wrong with one of his children hating me and the other abandoning his father? How can I do anything to the child I brought up? I just hope that he can enter the top three in this alchemy disciple selection competition and come back to me, maybe we can relive the joy of family......"

The next day, hundreds of Dan furnaces were placed on the west side of the palace, and each Dan furnace was no different in terms of material, style, or weight.

The people were enclosed outside the hundred pill furnaces, and the thousands of benches were densely packed with men, women, and children, and there were even tens of thousands of spectators behind the benches who were crowded under the control of the officers and soldiers of the palace and straightened their necks to watch this rare Yunti Sect alchemy disciple selection competition.

Alchemists, a profession that is highly respected in any corner of the Middle-earth Continent, are naturally one of the few. Because if you want to become an alchemist, you must have enough fire attribute energy and strong soul power, and you need to organically cooperate with the two to learn the art of alchemy. Such requirements are so great in the world, and there are very few people who can have both, so the alchemy disciple selection competition is very attractive to ordinary people, but the princes and nobles in the high stands come here not to see the excitement, but to get talents. Getting an excellent alchemist is tantamount to getting a treasure, which can turn all the low-value medicinal materials into expensive pills, and no matter how effective the pill is, all pills are worth a lot of money, and just reselling the pill is a huge amount of income that any merchant is extremely greedy.

"This time, my Yunti Sect selected excellent alchemy talents in Quanlizhou, hoping that Lizhou can have more alchemists for the benefit of our people in Lizhou. Jin Daotu stood at the forefront of the Baikou Dan Furnace, his true qi in his body was agitating, and his voice was far away, "I will take the top three in this selection competition as my disciples and strive to cultivate." I also hope that the participants will do their best to achieve good results. ”

The opening speech was short and powerful, and after the crowd applauded, the contestants entered the arena in the order in which they were registered.

Each contestant is selected by the Flame Curse Test in the area where they are registered, so it is not a problem to light the Dan Furnace. When Jin Daotu shouted: "The game begins!" The moment it was called, hundreds of Dan furnaces ignited almost at the same moment, and the entire space immediately became hot, and the faces of every spectator who was beating became more and more ruddy.

Gu Jun stood in the middle of the second row, and the means used to light the Dan furnace were naturally the same as when he signed up, but this time, in addition to saltpeter, he also added some phosphorus powder and held it in his hand. So when he lit the Dan furnace with a flame curse, the flame on his fist was extremely vigorous, attracting the attention of many people......

Jin Daotu looked at it in his eyes and was slightly surprised. If it weren't for a person who had practiced the fire attribute exercises, it would be impossible for such a vigorous flame to be born from his body, how could Gu Jun have learned the fire attribute exercises? In contact with him, he couldn't feel the kind of manic aura of the fire attribute exercises in his body at all......

"Each contestant has three medicinal herbs that can be used to refine an antidote pill. The results of the competition will be determined according to the speed of alchemy and the quality of the elixir. Jin Daotu loudly told the contestants: "Cherish the medicinal materials and grasp the heat!"

As soon as the words "grasp the heat" came out of Jin Daotu's mouth, several of the contestants emitted thick black smoke from the Dan furnace, and the flames mixed with the black smoke not only burned the medicinal materials in their Dan furnace to ashes, but also burned the medicinal materials placed on the small table next to them. They sighed and shook their heads, their faces full of disappointment, and they left the arena of their own accord.

The art of alchemy is all in the heat, and the control of the fire is all in the sense of fire. And the origin of the sense of fire is all in the soul. And Gu Jun's soul was recreated from the energy of his body in the black hole of rebirth. And the physical body before rebirth is the top True Venerable, and the physical energy of the True Venerable can shake the mountains and the earth, you can imagine how strong his soul power is. Therefore, it is not difficult for Gu Jun to control the fire, but the difficulty is that he does not have a decent fire.

The quality of the pill depends not only on the herbs, but also on the fire. The purer the energy of the fire, the better the quality of the pill, and if the fire has special attributes, the pill refined with it will naturally have corresponding special effects. Therefore, fire is extremely important to alchemists.

And in the arena at this moment, there was a player who used a blue flame, this player was also from the inner room of the Cloud Body Sect, and it was the kind of blue flame that Gu Jun saw that day. This blue flame gently grilled the medicinal herbs in the Dan furnace, and the faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the furnace, which made people feel a sense of coolness, which was very magical......

Jin Daotu didn't expect that among his inner room disciples, there would be someone with a strange fire, and he was very surprised!

Different fire, different from ordinary fire, energy or special attributes, or several times more violent than ordinary fire, extremely rare, but also extremely precious. Different fires are divided into four categories: heaven, earth, man and beast because of their different origins. Among them, the energy of the heavenly fire is the most violent, and the energy of the earth's fire is the most peculiar, and the beast fire comes from the beast body, and the human fire comes from the human body, and the fire of the human body comes from the human body, and the fire attributes are different due to different individuals.

"This is our Inner Chamber Sect Disciple of the Cloud Body Sect?!" Liu Fuyang rubbed his hands, looked at the Inner Chamber Sect disciple who used the blue flame to refine the Detoxification Pill with bright eyes, and praised, "What a seven-foot Angzang man, if he is a good cultivator, he should be a good refiner!"

"Refiner?!" Jin Daotu squinted at Liu Fuyang, pouting his lips very dissatisfied, "This is the alchemy disciple selection competition held by my Jin Daotu, and the one selected is an alchemist, not a refiner! Don't beat my top three idea, don't even think about it!"

For the alien fire, both the alchemist and the refiner are extremely fanatical, and they regard it as a treasure. Pills with different fire refining can have special effects, while weapons with different fire refining have additional damage. Weapons with additional damage are the most feared, and masters often die not from a critical blow, but from imperceptible corrosion.

"His appearance won't affect Jun'er to get the top three, right?" Gu Yan was not interested in the strange fire, he only cared about whether his righteous son Gu Jun could return to his side.

"Although Jun'er's fire is too ordinary, but fortunately, his fire is strong enough, and he is quite familiar with the refining of the detoxification pill, even if he can't win the first place, it should be the second place. Senior brother, don't worry. Jin Daotu looked at the contestants in the arena with his beard, his eyes keenly swept over every contestant who remained in the arena, and his eyes suddenly froze on a black-clothed man with a hood, and he muttered in confusion, "What is this person doing? Why don't you make fire alchemy? What is he waiting for?"
