"Dang!"
The ninth jade cup was put back on the wooden plate, making a slight sound, but it was like a giant hammer striking everyone's hearts, instantly waking them up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at Nie Kong, who looked calm, everyone was surprised and puzzled in their hearts.
When Nie Kong drank the second cup, they thought that Nie Kong would fall, but he was fine, and when Nie Kong drank the third cup, they thought that Nie Kong would be difficult to hold on, but he still stood, and Nie Kong drank the fourth and fifth cups...... Until they drank the ninth cup, they were still like no one, if they didn't know that the "Nine Colored Chains" prepared by Luo Ren would not be fake, they would definitely think that the cup contained no real venom.
Compared to the disciples of the Medicine Heart Palace, Luo Ren had even more difficulty believing his eyes.
When he was still a disciple of the inner city of Lingyu City, Luo Ren had tried the "Nine Colored Chain" many times, and he was extremely impressed by the "Nine Colored Chain", not to mention that this "Nine Colored Chain" was prepared by him himself, and he knew better than others the power of the Nine Colored Venom.
To be sure, he also deliberately increased the amount of nine cups of venom.
Moreover, Nie Kong drank the wrong first cup of venom, and it stands to reason that even if Nie Kong can survive the second cup of venom, it will be difficult to support the third and fourth cups...... But Nie Kong not only survived, but even drank nine cups in one go, without even pausing halfway.
This drinking method is even those most outstanding disciples of the Inner City Medicine Heart Palace, and it is difficult for them to successfully pass the "Nine Colored Chain", however, Nie Kong has passed, and after drinking all the venom, he has not shown any symptoms of poisoning, which is really too incredible!
The toxicity of the ninefold superposition couldn't help him?
"Master Luoren, how's it going?"
Nie Kong laughed loudly. Although these nine cups of venom were quite peculiar, they were still far from the poisonous herbs that Nie Kong had tasted recently in the Sixth Courtyard of the Red Mansion Medicine Hall, and it was extremely easy for the little guy to absorb them. Luo Ren wanted to use this method to make things difficult for him, but he could only say that he had miscalculated.
Those nine cups of venom not only did not cause any obstacles to Nie Kong, but they added a lot of nourishment to the "Fire Tree Silver Flower" in his pet backpack.
Luo Ren's face was cloudy, his eyes stared at Nie Kong without blinking, and his mind was turning over and over again recalling the scene when Nie Kong drank nine cups of venom just now, trying to see the clues of Nie Kong's cheating. It's a pity that after pondering for a long time, Luo Ren didn't gain anything.
Nie Qi said, "Master Luo Ren doesn't believe that I am not poisoned, it doesn't matter, you can take nine more cups of the same venom out, I won't mind." ”
Luo Ren had a preconceived idea, and since he had already decided that Nie Kong had used some unknown means to cheat and passed the test of the "Nine Colored Chains", he would not easily change his mind. But in front of everyone's eyes, even if he wanted Nie Kong to try the "Nine Colored Chain" again, he couldn't pull that face.
"Take a seat!"
Luo Ren's face distorted slightly, staring at Nie Kong for a moment, snorting in his nose, and then squeezing out these two words almost with difficulty between his teeth.
Smiling at Luo Ren's gaze, Nie sat cross-legged on the futon in a dignified manner. Those disciples in front of them turned their eyes from time to time, and secretly glanced at this fellow disciple who was for tat with the introductory professor of the "Medicine Heart Palace" and did not fall behind in the slightest, and their eyes became quite complicated......
......
Regarding the contradiction between himself and Luo Ren, Nie Kong did not take it to heart. The so-called beginner master, to put it bluntly, is similar to the "nanny" in the previous life, in addition to explaining various matters in the Spirit Imperial City to the new disciples, he is usually responsible for the trivial matters encountered by the disciples.
As for the one who really taught the disciples the knowledge of refining medicine, it was the main and deputy hall masters of the Medicine Heart Palace.
In terms of teaching disciples to refine medicine, they generally don't hide their secrets, which is not to say how selfless Lingyu City is. It's just that the general knowledge of alchemy is not a secret to the vast majority of disciples, especially those who are from big families, if there are high-grade elixir masters in the family, they can learn it at home, even if there is no elixir master in the family, they can also learn it through other ways.
The reason why the young elixir masters of the Heavenly Spirit Continent are still eager to flock to the "Medicine Heart Palace" of the Spirit Imperial City is because there is a learning environment here that is incomparable to other places.
Lingyu City has the largest medicinal garden in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, and the varieties of medicinal herbs planted are extremely complete, except for a few very rare medicinal herbs, the medicinal herbs known in the mainland can be found in the medicinal garden of Lingyu City. The advantages of studying alchemy in such a place can be imagined.
In addition, there are a large number of excellent young elixir masters gathered here.
If you have been resting on your laurels in small towns and have never known the gap between yourself and others, it is difficult to improve the level of medicine refining first. This is not the case in the Spirit Imperial City, the competition in the Medicine Heart Hall is extremely fierce, and there is competition to make progress, which is also the only way for the Medicine Heart Hall to remain strong.
After all, Spirit Imperial City is a Spirit Master Sect, not a charity. It is also impossible for the resources of the Medicine Heart Hall of the Spirit Imperial City to be unconditionally open to all disciples for free.
In addition to the general medicinal herbs that are usually needed for refining medicine, the only way to get good things is through two means, one is to make a certain contribution to the Medicine Heart Palace, such as improving or inventing a certain elixir formula, such as distinguishing the medicinal properties of a certain unfamiliar herb, and the other is to win in the monthly "Medicine Heart Palace" competition.
The contribution to the Medicine Heart Hall and the results of the monthly competition must all be recorded in the overall score, and the worst scores will be eliminated by the Medicine Heart Hall every year. For these young elixir masters, being kicked out by the Medicine Heart Hall was definitely a stain that would be difficult to wash away for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, everyone is striving to be the first.
After knowing these circumstances, Nie Kong also felt a lot of pressure, especially after learning that there were fifteen third-grade elixir masters in his fellow sect, the pressure was even greater. Moreover, in addition to the new disciples in this side hall, there are also nearly two hundred disciples in the Medicine Heart Hall who have been starting for one year, or even two or three years.
Their strength must be stronger, and it is definitely not easy to perform well in the "Medicine Heart Palace" of young masters such as Lin.
In this Spirit Imperial City, if Nie Kong wants to enter the inner city as soon as possible, he still has to be as high-profile as possible on the premise of ensuring his own safety, as he did in the Nie family before.
So, when Luo Ren announced his disbandment, Nie Kong didn't stay to get close to that guy or other fellow disciples, and directly walked out of the side hall as quickly as possible, attracting the sideways eyes of everyone in the hall, and Luo Ren's gaze at Nie Kong's back became even more displeased. Of course, these eyes were all ignored by Nie Kong.
Out of the "Medicine Heart Palace", Nie Kong followed Luo Ren's previous introduction and went straight along the avenue on the side of the hall.
Just walked a few hundred meters forward, and then as soon as he turned the corner, Nie Kong saw a golden and brilliant temple, and the plaque was engraved with four eye-catching big characters of "Pharmacist Hall". This place is much more lively than the "Medicine Heart Palace" in front, and people can be seen coming in and out from time to time at the door.
This Medicine Master Hall was originally a place for the disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall to communicate.
With the passage of time, the functions of this place have also become more, if the disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall encounter any problems or need something, they can publish information here, and the disciples of other branches of the Spirit Palace City will also come here to release information if they need a certain elixir, and even some master spirit masters and high-grade spirit medicine masters of the Spirit Palace City will often visit here.
As long as you have enough ability, you can get many rare things in this medicine hall!
