In the Danyan Sect's Dan Pavilion, Lin Chen sat in front of the guard platform facing the main entrance of the main hall, his eyes were looking at the animal skin scroll with a finger thick in his hand without blinking, and his face was full of surprise.

And the longer he looked, the brighter the light appeared in his eyes.

“.... Brother...."

But just as he was looking at it, a faint voice suddenly appeared from the light cluster in his mind, and he had to withdraw his gaze from the scroll and look around him.

After this whisper appeared, there were faint blurred signs everywhere he looked, as if it had become dreamlike, and a sudden sense of unreality appeared from the depths of his heart.

Seeing this, Lin Chen withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes to isolate everything that appeared in front of him, and frowned to investigate the light cluster in his mind that was much smaller than the original.

Since four days ago, when Lin Chen was cultivating, he suddenly found that there were some changes in the light cluster that appeared in his mind, and the light emitted on it was gradually decreasing and fading, as if it was inexplicably depleting, knowing that now, only five days had passed, and the light cluster that occupied his mind was less than eight-tenths of the original one, and it was still continuing to maintain a slow speed of escape.

At the same time, after he found that the light cluster was gradually getting smaller, the frequency of whispering from the light cluster became more and more frequent, and even the time of appearance was not any law at all, even when he concentrated all his mind on cultivation, he would be interrupted by this sudden whisper.

In the face of these things without any clue, Lin Chen has gradually begun to get used to it in the past few days, as long as it is not harmful to him, he will only check it, and continue to look at the animal skin scroll in his hand.

It wasn't until there was a sound of light footsteps and a steady sound of landing from the ancient wooden staircase behind him, followed by some whispers that were getting closer and closer, that Lin Chen closed the animal skin scroll, looked up at the exit of the stairs facing him, and saw Wei Wen and Lu Jinxuan coming down from above.

The distribution of bookshelves on the first floor of the Dan Pavilion is centered around Lin Chen's location at this time, showing a circular distribution towards the surroundings, which can not only increase the storage capacity of various books, but also make great use of the limited space.

As disciples of the Danyan Sect, if they wanted to go over the first floor and go directly to the second floor, they would need to go up through the spiral staircase behind Lin Chen, which was also to prevent some disciples from rushing up to the second floor.

"Two, there is still a lot of time today, why did you come down so early?", Lin Chen glanced at the sunlight outside the main hall and asked with a smile.

Lu Jinxuan saw Lin Chen, who seemed to be waiting for the two of them intentionally, and saw the animal skin scroll on the stage, smiled like a flower, and said jokingly: "Lin Chen, I really didn't expect you to seem to be quite suitable for this thing, now that you are becoming more and more skilled day by day, I think you can consider staying, just as the sweeper of the Dan Pavilion."

Regarding Lu Jinxuan's joke, Lin Chen only smiled, and he didn't care about it in his heart, in fact, just like she said, in this free time, Lin Chen did more and more handy at doing these things.

"Brother Lin, since the Dan Pavilion Elder let you stay in the Dan Pavilion, he must not treat you as an outsider, since Brother Lin has been approved by the Dan Pavilion Elder, if Brother Lin has anything you want to know about cultivation or alchemy, why don't you just talk to the two of us, maybe we can also answer a question or two for you", Wei Wen noticed Lin Chen, who had some things on his mind today, and said very sincerely.

And Lu Jinxuan also seemed to grasp Lin Chen's sore spot, looked at Lin Chen with excitement on his face, and said: "Senior Brother Wei is right, since Elder Dange will let you stay in a sect like Dange, it naturally means that your talent on the way to alchemy has been affirmed by Elder Dange, so if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, as a disciple of the Danyan Sect, you will definitely benefit you a lot."

Looking at Lu Jinxuan, who had always wanted to catch his weakness, Lin Chen could only sigh secretly.

Previously, when he was in the agreed competition, Lin Chen had to show most of his strength in front of them because he was facing more than a dozen fierce beasts at the same time, and in the end, even his talent on the way to alchemy was exposed.

It was also from that time on, perhaps because the results of the competition did not go in the worst direction, but unexpectedly allowed the two of them to get such a rare opportunity to enter the Dan Pavilion to practice.

So after going through this trial, the three of them now also have a good relationship, at least Lu Jinxuan's attitude towards Lin Chen has been much better since the current one, and he will not always show Lin Chen a straight face.

Seeing this, Lin Chen had nothing to hide, so he asked about the Dharma taking conference that he had mentioned from the discussion of the Danyan Sect disciples who were passing by in the morning.

"So that's the case, I can now be sure that Brother Lin, you really don't look like people from this area, so it should be okay not to know about this matter", Wei Wen stared at Lin Chen's delicate face and said seriously.

Lu Jinxuan also followed, and suddenly said: "I wonder why I haven't heard of your name, I have long suspected that you are not from this region, but I am from this area, it turns out that you are really not."

"Brother Lin, the so-called Dharma Extraction Conference is to open the Dan Pavilion to the outer disciples and inner disciples in the sect, and use our promotion in the past three years to pass the test of each layer in the Dan Pavilion, and every time we pass through the layer, we can obtain a technique from the Dan Pavilion, whether it is martial arts, Dan Fang, or a relatively special exercise in the Danyan Sect, this is the so-called Dharma Extraction Conference", Wei Wen said lightly.

"Brother Lin, do you know that in the entire Danyan Sect, what is the difference between the outer disciples and the inner disciples? Is it strength, or alchemy attainment, or cultivation?", Wei Wen suddenly asked Lin Chen, interrupting Lin Chen's contemplation.

Lin Chen didn't answer, just looked at Wei Wen suspiciously, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing that Lin Chen really didn't know, Wei Wen said mysteriously: "Don't hide it from Brother Lin, these are actually just the basic conditions for becoming an inner disciple, if an outer disciple wants to truly become an inner disciple of the Danyan Sect, in addition to challenging the inner disciple, there is actually a second way, that is, the triennial, the Dharma Extraction Conference presided over by the Dan Pavilion Elder himself in the Dan Pavilion."

"Two ways, but I've heard before that there's only the first way," Lin Chen asked suspiciously.

"No, that's just an external statement, in fact, in the circle of our inner disciples of the Danyan Sect, there has always been a saying about one law and two decisions, which is something that only we who are inner disciples can know.

In fact, as long as he can obtain either of the first method and two decisions at the Fa-taking Conference, he can make an exception for Elder Dange to be promoted to an inner disciple, but the conditions for the second path are too harsh, and few people can achieve it.

This is also the reason why many people want to become inner disciples, but it is also the reason why the vast majority of outer disciples are kept out of inner disciples", Lu Jinxuan also spoke in time and told some of the information he knew.

However, she soon realized that she had accidentally said something wrong, and after reacting, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and looked around with some weakness and Wei Wen, who was feeling helpless.

"One law and two decisions? What does this mean?", Lin Chen was even more confused at this time, because according to what Lu Jinxuan said, he seemed to have come into contact with something that he shouldn't have touched.

Wei Wen looked at the surroundings of the Dan Pavilion a little helplessly, and the perception of the innate realm also emanated, just enveloping the sixty-meter range of the entire Dan Pavilion.

After confirming that no one else existed, he said to Lin Chen: "These things were originally the more secret things of the Danyan Sect, and it stands to reason that you should not let Brother Lin know about you, an outsider, but since Senior Sister Jinxuan has already said it, then I will explain one or two, and I will not blame the elders of the Dan Pavilion."

After clearing his throat, Wei Wen continued.

"Since we have Yanhuo, an earth-fire formed by the fusion of three different earth-fires, the power of Yanhuo is self-evident, so in order to better allow us to gradually control the power of this earth-fire, the ancestors of the sect have gone through a long period of attempts and explorations, and finally delved into two different laws, that is, two of the two laws, and one of these two types of decisions is the kind I used not long ago", Wei Wen lowered his voice and said very seriously.

The secret of the sect is the most sensitive part of a sect, if the elders of the Danyan Sect know about this matter, they will definitely ask in person, and Wei Wen cannot be careless.

"As for the first law, to be honest, except for a few elders in the sect who know about it, I'm afraid there are only one or two core disciples, so we don't know the specific situation of the first law, but it has been mentioned in some records, and it seems to be related to cultivation", speaking of this, Wei Wen was a little pity.

After Wei Wen said this, Lin Chen also understood that the holding of the Dharma Extraction Conference meant that there was a chance to obtain one of the two decisions of this Fa, which was a rare opportunity for those of them who practiced the method of alchemy.

Lu Jinxuan looked at Lin Chen in silence, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, although as inner disciples, we can naturally get one of the two decisions when we do two things, but if we want to get the other decision, we must also pass the Dharma Extraction Conference, but that must also pass the fourth layer at the Dharma Extraction Conference."

"The fourth layer, but haven't you even passed the third layer not long ago?", Lin Chen said in surprise.

He knew very well that it took Wei Wen and Lu Jinxuan a few days yesterday before they could pass the third-layer test, and these were already the two most talented among the current inner disciples.

According to this, wouldn't the other outer disciples have no chance at all, and it is no wonder that the number of inner disciples of the Danyan Sect has always remained at twenty.

"Brother Lin is right, with my junior sister and I's current cultivation and alchemy attainments, it is impossible to successfully pass the fourth layer, so the two of us will come down from the third layer so early today, this is also to digest the harvest of the past few days, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope, maybe we can break through the fourth layer", Wei Wen explained.

"That's right, I've been staying here for the past few days, although I have figured out a lot of problems in alchemy and learned a lot of things, but these are all things that need to be digested, we are not like you, we can actually make the Dan Pavilion Elder look at it differently", Lu Jinxuan's words were full of jealousy.

Lin Chen was used to Lu Jinxuan's character, so he could only smile.
