"Little brother wants to learn alchemy recently, I wonder if there are any tasks related to alchemy?" Shi Yue said lightly.

"Alchemy?" Deacon Wang was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"What's the matter, aren't there any tasks related to alchemy?" Shi Yue's expression was a little disappointed.

"That's not it, Senior Brother Shi, wait a minute, I'll take a look. Deacon Wang shook his head and said.

After speaking, he gestured with the silver jade plate in his hand.

After a while, Deacon Wang raised his head and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Shi, there are now three tasks related to alchemy, the first one, Uncle Chen of Huoyun Peak needs a disciple who watches the furnace, twenty contribution points a month, and the additional reward is willing to instruct alchemy, but he must stay with Uncle Zhang for more than twenty days a month, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all with Uncle Zhang; Any of the three pills of the Qi Nourishing Pill can be used, and the contribution points depend on the number of pills handed in each month; third, Senior Uncle Liu of Cuiyun Peak needs a medicine boy with twenty contribution points per month, I don't know which task Senior Brother Shi wants to choose. ”

"I'll choose the second one!" Shi Yue said after hearing this, thinking about it carefully.

The second task was simply tailor-made for him, and of course he chose the second one.

"Okay, this is a token to receive the task, the junior brother takes this token to the Shendan Temple to report, as long as you pass the assessment, you can receive this task. Deacon Wang nodded and said, after speaking, he turned over his hand and took out a cyan token and handed it to Shi Yue.

"Assessment, what assessment?" Shi Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"It is to provide a few alchemy materials for the junior brother, let the junior brother alchemy, even if he passes the assessment after refining, if he does not pass the assessment, he will not be able to receive this task, this is the rule set by the Divine Pill Palace. Deacon Wang explained.

Shi Yue nodded, thanked him, turned around and walked out.

Out of the deacon's hall, Shi Yue released a flying magic weapon and flew towards the location of the Shendan Palace.

After a cup of tea, Shi Yue landed at the foot of a giant peak, and from time to time a group of patrol disciples passed over the giant peak, and an endless cyan stone staircase extended to the foot of the mountain, and from time to time there were disciples walking up this cyan stone staircase.

The mountainside was obscured by a thick white fog, making it impossible to see above the mountainside.

There is a stone tablet more than two zhang high at the foot of the mountain, on which are written the three big characters of "Shendan Peak".

Shendan Peak is one of the several major places of the Taixu Sect, and the pills sold by the Taixu Sect are all refined in the Shendan Peak, and more than ninety percent of the alchemists of the Taixu Sect are alchemizing here, so there are not only many prohibitions here, but also several teams of patrol disciples patrolling nearby.

It is said that there is also a monk who sits in retreat at Shendan Peak all year round, which intimidates Xiaoxiao.

Shi Yue thought back to the relevant information he knew, and raised his feet to walk up the cyan stone staircase.

After a cup of tea, Shi Yue stood on the first stone staircase, panting and looking at the endless cyan stone staircase in front of him, if someone hadn't come out of the clouds, he would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place.

Shi Yue wiped the sweat from his face, and then walked forward.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Shi Yue stopped, and a transparent light shield blocked his way.

Seeing this situation, Shi Yue raised his eyebrows, he remembered that the previous senior brother had passed very easily, how could he get here, it was not good?

Shi Yue used his mana and walked forward, still stopped by the transparent light mask.

At this moment, after a burst of spatial fluctuations in front of him, two transparent passages suddenly appeared in front of him, just enough to accommodate one person to enter and exit, and two disciples in red clothes walked out of the passage.

"Who are you, don't you know that you need a token to enter and exit Shendan Peak?" a red-clothed disciple glanced at Shi Yue and said coldly.

"Token?" Shi Yue was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took out the token given by Deacon Wang.

"It's not this, it's a token to enter and exit here, there is no token to enter and exit Shendan Peak, you must not trespass, otherwise you will be killed. The red-clothed disciple said coldly.

"The younger brother received the task of the Deacon Hall and came to the Shendan Hall to be an alchemy apprentice. When Shi Yue heard this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly explained.

"Just you, alchemy, will you?" asked a red-clothed disciple with some suspicion.

"The junior brother will refine the Bigu Dan. Shi Yue replied truthfully.

"Senior Brother Chen, you take him to see Senior Uncle Zhao," Hearing this, the disciple's face softened, and he ordered the other red-clothed disciple.

"Follow me," the red-clothed disciple dropped a sentence and walked towards the transparent passage.

Seeing this, Shi Yue didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed.

The situation behind the passage surprised Shi Yue, dozens of meters ahead, there is an unusually wide bluestone platform, on the platform stands a splendid palace, on the plaque above the palace gate, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance with three golden characters "Shendan Palace".

There was no one guarding the outside of the palace, but there was a statue of a lion standing on the left and right sides of the door, which was lifelike and swarthy, as if it was made of fine iron.

"Follow me honestly, there are a lot of prohibitions here, if you break the prohibition, even I can't save you," the disciple surnamed Chen said coldly.

"Little brother understands," Shi Yue nodded.

As soon as Shi Yue stepped onto the bluestone platform, he felt several powerful divine senses pass over him, and soon disappeared again.

Shi Yue was shocked in his heart, and then understood that this was the disciple guarding this place, but despite this, he was still a little nervous, and honestly followed behind the red-clothed disciple, for fear of touching the prohibition of this place.

Walking into the hall, you will be greeted by a wide hall of more than 100 zhang size, and there is a passage on the left and right sides, I don't know where it leads.

In the center of the hall was a yellow wooden table with more than a dozen scrolls on it, and a middle-aged man with a bookish face and a middle-aged woman with ordinary facial features were sitting behind the wooden table and chatting.

--

"Senior Uncle Zhao, Senior Uncle Wu, this one was sent by the Deacon Palace, and according to him, he came to be an alchemy apprentice. The disciple surnamed Chen saluted the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman, pointed to Shi Yue and said.

"Disciple Shi Yue visited Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wu. Shi Yue stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"What elixir can you refine?" the middle-aged man looked at Shi Yue carefully and said with a frown.

In his opinion, it was impossible for Shi Yue, who was at the fourth layer of qi refining, to know alchemy at all, and many disciples were busy cultivating when they were refining qi at the fourth layer!

"Back to Uncle Zhao's words, the disciple will refine the Bigu Dan. Shi Yue replied truthfully, looking extremely respectful.

"Before you came, the deacon of the deacon's hall told you! If you want to do alchemy here, you need to pass the assessment. The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed and said lightly.

"The disciple has heard of it, but I don't know how to assess it, so I ask Uncle Zhao to show it. Shi Yue nodded and said.

"If you are given five materials, you can refine thirty-six Bigu Dan even if you pass the assessment, less than thirty-six Bigu Dan will not pass, but you have to come up with five spirit stones for these five materials, one five spirit stones, a total of twenty-five spirit stones. The middle-aged man said word by word.

Hearing this, Shi Yue nodded, took out twenty-five spirit stones from the storage bag, and handed them to the middle-aged man.

"Follow me. The middle-aged man put away the spirit stone, dropped a sentence, and then raised his feet and walked towards the passage on the left.

Seeing this, Shi Yue didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed.

It didn't take long for the middle-aged man to take Shi Yue to a stone room.

The stone room is only more than ten zhang in size, and there is a futon and a red Dan furnace in it.

"This is five materials for refining Bigu Dan, and after two hours, you will pass the assessment if you hand over thirty-six Bigu Dan. The middle-aged man took out a leather bag from his arms, handed it to Shi Yue, and said lightly.

"Uncle Zhao, how can you refine the pill without fire?" Shi Yue hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Use spiritual charcoal, the quality of the elixir refined with spiritual charcoal is better, there are a total of five spiritual charcoals, all of them are packed in storage bags, a piece of spiritual charcoal can be used to refine a furnace of Bigu Dan, okay, if there is nothing to do, I will leave, and I will come back in two hours." The middle-aged man said, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, Senior Uncle Zhao, don't you have to stay here to watch me do alchemy?" Shi Yue hurriedly stopped the middle-aged man and asked cautiously.

"Why do you have to rely on your alchemy? Anyway, after two hours, you can have thirty-six Bigu Dan and hand it over to me, as for whether you refined it or you carried it yourself, I am not interested in knowing, but I remind you that after becoming an alchemy apprentice, I will give you a certain amount of materials every month, you need to refine a certain number of Bigu Dan, reward more and punish less, don't cheat, otherwise you will still suffer. Hearing this, the middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said meaningfully.

With that, he turned and left.
