Time turns, three months later.

Yu Xiao sat in the hut, a wisp of orange-yellow fire dancing in his palm, and bursts of scorching breath spread out.

As the mana in the body moved faster or slower, the flames also became larger and smaller, sometimes weak, sometimes vigorous, and the whole appeared extremely flexible.

"Although the "Condensing Light and Igniting Fire Technique" is only the most basic fire control method, this method is quite mysterious, the so-called Dao Zhijian may be this truth, and it is more than enough to refine the elixir or refine the magic weapon eye."

Yu Xiao was quite satisfied with the results of his practice during this time, but after receiving the supernatural powers, he frowned again, and said to himself: "It's just that my cultivation is low now, and the mana in my body is shallow, which is not enough to maintain the consumption of fire control for a long time, if you want to reach the level of refining pills, you need to at least upgrade your cultivation to the fifth level of qi refining." ”

This is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

The matter of alchemy is put aside for the time being, Yu Xiao has more important things to do, just yesterday he received the exact news that at the end of this year, there will be a small test for the registered disciples of Luoxia Peak.

A few days ago, he had already heard the other disciples of Luo Xia Peak talking about the small test of the registered disciples, thinking that it was a false rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.

In fact, this is not unique to Luoxia Peak, every once in a while, the Floating Light Sect will conduct different levels of assessment on the registered disciples of each peak, and the purpose is naturally to eliminate those disciples who occupy cultivation resources but have no hope of promotion.

It is also with this method that the Floating Light Sect has maintained a fairly good vitality for hundreds of years.

Therefore, the registered disciples of Luoxia Peak all wanted to improve their cultivation strength before the start of the small test to ensure that they would get the desired results.

Of course, Yu Xiao also plans to do so, and this will be the first time he will participate in the registered disciple test, and he must not drop the chain.

It is now the beginning of April, less than nine months before the end of the year, time is precious, and he must improve his comprehensive strength in an all-round way.

At the moment, he only has twenty spirit stones on his body, no matter what he does, it is far from enough, he needs more spirit stones.

"Well, it seems that there is only one way."

Yu Xiao sighed, his heart moved slightly, and his consciousness appeared in the Immortal Mansion on the clouds.

He got up and walked to a spiritual field, where two spiritual plants he transplanted some time ago were planted.

These two spirit plants were scavenged by him from the Chiyuan Mountain Range.

The Chiyuan Mountain Range is vast, its inner spiritual veins are vertical and horizontal, the heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy, and naturally many spiritual plants were born, and many disciples of the Fuguang Sect relied on treasure hunting in the mountains to earn a little extra money.

After a long time, there are more disciples who are looking for treasures, and there are naturally fewer spiritual herbs and elixirs in the mountains, and the two strains that Yu Xiao found are not more than three years old, and their value is not high, and they can't exchange for a few spirit stones.

Fortunately, he had a cloud immortal mansion, and after transplanting it in, he watered it with spring water, and now it has grown very strongly, and each plant is a hundred years old, exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance.

During this time, he also carefully studied the Immortal Mansion and found that the time outside was almost the same as the time flow rate inside the Immortal Mansion.

However, there are some extraordinary things about these opened up spiritual fields, and there seem to be invisible spiritual veins gathered around them, making the spiritual energy in the soil much richer than the outside world.

If the spirit plant is planted here, with the same growth time, the spirit plant in the immortal mansion will definitely grow much faster than the outside world.

Of course, this gap is far less significant than that of the spiritual spring.

In the entire Immortal Mansion, only the bowl-shaped spiritual spring is the most peculiar.

The water that exists within it is not infinite, but will be consumed.

However, over time, the spring water in the spiritual spring will slowly generate, and after three months, there will be more water inside it than at the beginning.

During this time, he also consumed a lot, about two teacups.

If calculated in this way, the spring water accumulated in a month was enough for him to ripen four or five spiritual plants for about a hundred years.

At present, there is still about half a small amount of water left in the spring, which is not much.

"It's better to save some, after learning alchemy, you will definitely consume a lot of spring water to ripen the elixir, so as not to have enough time." Yu Xiao muttered to himself, and he had already made a plan in his heart.

Immediately, he took out two wooden boxes, dug out the ripened spirit plants and put them in them, and left the immortal mansion satisfied.

Today is the day when Dantang stipulates that pine nuts will be sent, Yu Xiao does not dare to slack off, you must know that those disciples of Dantang are all alchemists, and they can't afford to offend.

Knocking off most of the ripe pine nuts from the pine tree, Yu Xiao filled a bag full of them and rushed into the sky with a winged kite.

These purple cloud pine nuts are actually not valuable, and most of them are used to make spiritual incense or spiritual tea with the effect of calming the soul.

Those disciples who entered the house sometimes retreated for more than ten years, or even longer, and lit the spiritual incense made of Ziyun pine nuts in the cave mansion to help keep the spiritual platform quiet.

Yu Xiao also likes to light the powder made of Ziyun pine nuts when he is meditating.

For him, this can be regarded as using his position to benefit himself, but it's a pity that Ziyun pine nuts can't increase his cultivation, otherwise the errand of guarding the pine forest will not be squeezed out.

Two quarters of an hour later, the Dantang Alchemy Courtyard was close in front of him, Yu Xiao took the magic weapon and fell down, and before the people entered the courtyard, they saw several people wearing dust guards for registered disciples coming out, scolding and scolding as they walked:

"Bah, his grandmother's, the pill refined by Elder Zhong is getting more and more unpalatable, and it is more difficult to swallow than the special poison, you said that what our brothers eat will not be really poison."

"It would be nice if it was poison, it means that Elder Zhong has at least refined an elixir, so we won't have to be tortured in the future, I guess most of us will eat another ball of dregs."

"Shhh, be quiet, if this word reaches Elder Zhong's ears, we will all have to save our lives."

While speaking, the three of them glanced at Yu Xiao very vigilantly, and soon left in the light.

Seeing this, Yu Xiao probably understood what was going on.

Elder Zhong, who was in charge of the Dan Hall, was an alchemy maniac, and his attainments in alchemy were second to none in the entire Floating Light Sect, and he liked to study some strange pills or invent a pill himself.

After all, alchemy has been constantly summarizing the experience left by its predecessors since it began to appear, and the so-called Danfang did not exist at the beginning, and when someone tried to refine the pill, the Danfang naturally appeared.

To put it bluntly, those people were guinea pigs, and they were the test objects of Elder Zhong.

It is said that when you are a disciple of the test pill, you can get a lot of spirit stones as compensation every time, and Yu Xiao was once very excited.

But in view of the fate of Trydan, which can sometimes be very miserable, he dismissed this idea.

In the past, when he was poor, Yu Xiao had never done this kind of thing, but now that he has the Cloud Immortal Mansion, he will not do it anymore, and he didn't think much about it in his heart, and stepped into the alchemy academy.

After handing over the pine cones to the disciples of the Alchemy Academy, Yu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and in the next three months, he could do his own thing again.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a deep voice of vicissitudes came: "Is it a new disciple of the trial pill?" ”

Hearing the sound, he was greeted by an old man with a crane-haired and childish face, his eyes were like torches, and his sharp eyes looked at Yu Xiao wantonly, without concealment.

Just by looking at him, Yu Xiao felt that he was being seen through all over his body, but fortunately, the picture scroll in the sea of knowledge did not move, thinking that even if he was a monk with a high cultivation, as long as he did not enter the depths of his consciousness, he would not be able to spy on the existence of the picture scroll.

It made him feel a little more at ease.

The person in front of him should be Elder Zhong, the steward of Dantang, it is really terrifying.

"Elder Hui, the disciple is a guard disciple of the pine forest, and he came to send Ziyun pine nuts." Yu Xiao hurriedly replied, for fear that he would become the other party's guinea pig.

However, Elder Zhong didn't take his words seriously, and asked to himself, "What is your spiritual root, and what is your character?" ”

"The disciple's spiritual root belongs to fire and water, and his character is lacking!"

Yu Xiao was inevitably a little nervous, and a little cold sweat was already oozing from his palms, it was not good for him to be a small registered disciple to be stared at like this by Elder Zhong.

"The spiritual root belongs to water and fire, but it is rare, you can inject mana into this stone and take a look!" Elder Zhong stretched out his hand as he spoke, and a dark oval stone appeared in his palm.

Yu Xiao didn't dare to disobey Elder Zhong's order, so he had to press his palm on the oval stone and inject a trace of his mana.

It's also strange to say, he just injected a trace of mana, but the oval stone was like a black hole, frantically absorbing his mana, and nearly seventy percent was drained in an instant.

This made Yu Xiao really startled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, fortunately, the dark stone stopped absorbing mana, if he kept pumping, he would have to be pumped into a man.

At this time, the dark oval stone bloomed with a faint brilliance that did not look obvious.

If you get closer, you can see the twisted blood-colored lines wriggling inside through the smooth stone surface, which are like tadpoles and a kind of writing.

Seeing this scene, a trace of fluctuation appeared on Elder Zhong's eternal face, and with a slight flash in his eyes, he threw a crystal bottle the size of a baby's fist over, and then said, "Give you a year to fill this spirit storage bottle with your mana, and I will fulfill your request afterwards." ”

Before the words fell, Elder Zhong flicked his sleeves and left without replying, leaving only a confused look on his face.

At this time, the disciples of the Alchemy Academy, who had been watching the play from beginning to end, cast an envious look at Yu Xiao: "Tsk, junior disciple is not shallow, let Elder Zhong meet your request, this is rare in Luoxia Peak." ”

Yu Xiao looked at the crystal vial in his hand, wondering if he should be treated as a guinea pig by Elder Zhong, it seemed that it was not quite the same as the imaginary disciple of the trial pill.

Puzzled, he asked out loud, "May I ask Senior Brother, what does Elder Zhong mean by this?" ”

The disciple shook his head, and he didn't know where to start, and replied in a deep voice: "How do I know this, I only know that you are not the first, Elder Zhong is collecting the mana of the disciples everywhere, down to the registered disciples, and up to the senior brothers in the foundation building period, there is no rule."

If I were you, you wouldn't think much about it, and you wouldn't lose anything anyway, just inject mana into the vial, and after the matter is completed, you can let Elder Zhong meet one of your requests, this kind of good thing, you can't find it with a lantern. ”

"That's right." Yu Xiao nodded thoughtfully, his face full of contemplation.

If it was really as simple as the disciple said, it was as simple as injecting mana into the spirit storage bottle, then this was indeed a good thing that could not be found with a lantern.

But his intuition told him that Elder Zhong was definitely not just trying to collect some of his mana, there must be some secret in it.

It's just that with his current strength, even if he knows, he can't change anything, and it's useless to think more.
