Chapter 22: Shocking

"Ice Heart Pill?"

The young man stared at the pill in Chu Ming's hand with wide eyes, his expression was still sad, but his words were very excited.

"Do you want to sell? Then I'll buy it! ”

“……”

Saying such excited words in an extremely lamenting tone, this strange sense of disobedience really made Chu Ming feel a little stunned, and he licked his dry lips and said in confusion.

"Have you always spoken like this?"

"Little friend, you don't know anything"

The boy sighed again.

"My name is Xu Yuan, and I practice the 'mourning' Dao"

"Wailing?"

Seeing Chu Ming's expression as if he had turned into a black question mark.jpg Xu Yu sighed.

"It is the sorrow in the seven emotions, and those who cultivate this way cannot have their corresponding emotions, that is, 'joy', otherwise they will go mad"

"I was just when I was breaking through the foundation building, because I was excited in my heart, so I smiled and refined my qi!"

“……”

Chu Ming was silent for a long time when he heard this, and he didn't know where to complain for a while.

Lamentation?

Can this emotion also be used as a path to cultivation?

Isn't that depression a great talent for this way of monasticism!

It's really the world's bigest, and there are no surprises......

"That decrepit brother......

"Just call me Ah Yu"

Xu Yu sighed lightly, took out a bamboo book tied with a red ribbon from his arms and handed it to Chu Ming.

"Little friend, since you are interested in the Ice Xuan Flower, it must be a Dan Xiu with a wood spirit root, I have a spell that can only be practiced by this wood spirit root, how about exchanging the Ice Heart Pill with you?"

"Spells?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then quickly waved his hand and smiled bitterly.

"I deserve such a precious thing"

No kidding.

No matter how valuable the Ice Heart Pill is, can it compare to a spell?

It's as outrageous as if you're swapping car keys with a paperclip!

"Little friend, the premise of cultivating the way of the seven emotions is to have an innate attributeless spiritual root"

Xu Yu picked up Chu Ming's right hand and put the bamboo book in the palm of his hand, and then said quietly.

"So, this spell is something outside my body that I can't practice, and I don't feel like I've lost much in exchange for the Ice Heart Pill."

"Besides, I think it's most important to practice a personal connection, Xiaoyou is an extraordinary person at a glance, and the value of making friends with you is far higher than this spell."

“……”

Xu Yuan's eyes were burning, and at this moment, he seemed to be like a different person, his temperament had changed greatly, and his expression was full of confidence and arrogance.

However, this appearance did not last long, and he hunched his back again, pulled out a tissue to wipe his tears, and pleaded.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm just out of spirit stones, but I urgently need to use the Ice Heart Pill, otherwise I wouldn't have exchanged this spell!"

You would have said no!

Chu Ming couldn't help but be a little speechless, and he didn't do too much hypocrisy, he glanced at the spell a little, and after confirming that there was no problem, he gave the Ice Heart Pill of the Three Lines to Xu Yuan.

"Thank you, little friend! I wonder if I can ask your name? ”

"Chu Ming"

Chu Ming hurriedly put away the spell, coughed lightly a few times to suppress the excitement of taking advantage of the small advantage, and then hurriedly said goodbye.

"Since Brother Xu has nothing to do, then I'll leave first and say goodbye!"

……

Bidding farewell to Xu Yu and entering the Shengdan Palace, Chu Ming realized that the magnificent building he had just seen at the door was only the tip of its iceberg.

Inside, the dark gray brick walls are covered with landscape paintings and portraits, and soft straw mats run along the hallway until the end of the line, and then the view suddenly brightens.

“……”

After a short silence, noisy voices gradually poured into his ears, and Chu Ming looked around, looking curious about Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

In front of him was a huge hall square, densely packed with alchemy furnaces with uniform forms, and many Tianyan Sect disciples were sitting in front of them to seriously alchemize.

Surrounded by layers of stands, people sit in groups of three or five, commenting on the square with great interest.

This is where Danshi is promoted and assessed?

How do you feel different from what you imagined......

Chu Ming's cheeks twitched slightly, and after some inquiry, he found the place where the Fourth Rank Dan Master was assessed, the northwest of the square.

Compared with the black heads in the central area, the people who make alchemy here are very rare, and they are all middle-aged and elderly people with white beards and bald heads.

However, there were a large number of people in the surrounding stands, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something, until Chu Ming arrived, and his puzzled eyes instantly condensed on him.

What's going on?

Interrogation?

Being watched by so many people, even if Chu Ming was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little restrained in his heart, and hurriedly asked politely towards the deacon of the Holy Dan Hall on the side.

"Hello, may I ask if the Fourth Rank Dan Master is here for assessment?"

“?”

After hearing Chu Ming's green voice, the deacon, who was originally registering on the desk, suddenly raised his head and looked at his immature face with a look of surprise.

"Do you assess the Fourth Rank Dan Master?"

"yes"

“……”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ming clearly felt that the surroundings were instantly quiet, and his burning eyes kept scanning him.

Of course, there are also deacons in front of them.

He looked Chu Ming up and down, left and right, carefully, and then frowned slightly, and there was a hint of admonition in his low tone.

"The assessment is not child's play, if you take the initiative to disrupt the order, you will be demerited"

"I'm really here to take the test"

Chu Ming sighed lightly, he knew that this would definitely happen, so he hurriedly took out his Sanpin Dan Cultivation Token and the letter from his master.

"This is my assessment procedure, why don't you check it out?"

“……”

After the deacon took it, his eyes swept over the envelope, and after discovering that it was famous for the drunken Dance of the Floating Jade Peak, his expression became extremely shocked, and then gradually turned into solemnity.

"Okay, I'll allow you to take the test."

Afterwards, the deacon recorded Chu Ming's name in the register, and led him to the Yiding Dan furnace and gave him three copies of condensing materials.

"Refining a two-pattern Qi Condensing Pill and dissolving it without losing its medicinal effect is a successful assessment, and there is no time limit."

After listening to the deacon's introduction to the assessment requirements, Chu Ming took a deep breath to calm down his restless state of mind, carefully inspected the Dan furnace, groped for the materials with his right hand and felt it with his divine sense.

Good materials, it should work!

A flash of light flashed in Chu Ming's eyes, and his confidence was greatly increased, and he immediately began to get busy, processing materials, wood spirits lighting fires, filling in batches, and controlling the divine souls......

The action was done in one go and extremely skillful, and this serious appearance made everyone in the stands hold their breath and put away the playful mentality of watching jokes.

However, with just a stick of incense, Chu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, suddenly opened his eyes, and quickly stretched out his right hand into the Dan furnace amid the exclamations of the people in the stands.

What is he going to do?

Put your hand in during alchemy?

Suddenly, the rich aura surged.

"That's it!"

After extinguishing the green flame in the Dan furnace, Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and slowly spread out his right palm.

At this moment, a pale white pill with a round body was lying quietly in the palm of his hand, and the three Dan patterns on its surface exuded amazing spiritual power fluctuations.
