Chapter 9: The King of Dan

After the news of the reopening of Dancheng and the holding of the Dan Dao Contest came out, it caused a strong reaction in the entire Xiuzhen world. Dancheng had been gone for twenty years, and for the vast number of scattered cultivators, this news had made them wait too long. After all, after the catastrophe in Dancheng, those sects had their own high-level Dan masters, and the more powerful sects even had a junior Dan Emperor or a peak Dan King to be responsible for alchemy, and the gap in the pill was not much, and the impact was not great. It's not the same when they are scattered, like some key pills such as Zhuji Dan, Huaying Pill, etc., they have nowhere to buy them at all, which seriously affects their cultivation progress. The young Dan masters were glad that their chance to become famous had finally arrived, and the participants in this Dan Dao competition were limited to the age of forty-five. Several Xiuzhen sects close to the territory of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty were also very concerned, and they sent core disciples to Chang'an, and there was a sect called the Imperial Beast Gate that was personally visited by the sect leader Tong Bo (there is no way, the pills suitable for beasts are more scarce. )。

Over the years, there have been 650 students graduating from the Sacred Heart Dan Academy, but only 50 places have been awarded for the preliminary round of the Dan Dao Competition. So when the young Dan masters from other regions rushed over, a Nebi was held in the Sacred Heart Dan Courtyard in Chang'an City. Due to the relationship between the contestants and their own disciples or children, in order to avoid suspicion, He Xinlan, Hu Xian'er, and Peng Xiaofei are not suitable to be judges. He Xinlan and Hu Xian'er had a headache because of this, and Zhang Xun said: "What is there to have a headache." I came forward to invite Her Majesty the Empress to be the chief judge, and Wen Zhong and I were the deputy judges. Isn't that okay!" Xin Lan asked: "Husband, Your Majesty, she doesn't know Dan Dao, is it appropriate to be a judge?" Zhang Xun said: "Xin Lan, there is indeed a sentence "Insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the excitement." But Your Majesty is by no means a very person, and he will definitely be able to see some clues from the excitement. That's enough, not knowing beauty doesn't prevent you from appreciating beauty!"

Lu Jin gladly accepted Zhang Xun's proposal to let her be the chief judge in the Sacred Heart Dan Academy's selection competition, as soon as Lu Jin began to pay attention to Dan Dao after learning Dan Dao from Kang Yi, pity the hearts of parents in the world! Second, restarting Dan City is the first big action that really attracts the attention of cultivators all over the world since the establishment of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, and the Sacred Heart Dan Academy is also a banner representing the Dan Dao of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, if the champion of the Dan Dao Competition falls next to it, it will be a joke. Therefore, Lu Jin, as the empress of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, it is also necessary to personally see the performance of the contestants representing the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty. Especially Xin Lan's disciple Qin Yue, Hu Xian'er's disciple Zhou Yuling, Peng Xiaofei and Long Huixiang's son Peng Longsheng, these three players themselves are all Dan Kings and all studied under Emperor Dan, representing the highest strength of the young Dan Xiu of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

Qin Yue, Zhou Yuling, and Peng Longsheng were divided into a separate group, there was no way, the Dan Dao strength of the rest of the people could not be compared with the three of them, and they were not at the same level at all. After the rest of the race, the three-man competition began. The three of them are the main instructors of the Sacred Heart Pill Academy, and they all have a good reputation among the students, and each has a group of students holding banners in the audience to cheer for them. On the judge's seat, Lu Jin said: "Qin Yue, Zhou Yuling, Peng Longsheng, the three of you are all Dan kings, and your competition questions will be made by me." There happen to be three generals in my personal guard Weijia army suffering from hidden diseases, and the three of you each diagnose and refine the elixir for one of the generals, and finally determine the victory based on the effect of the three generals after taking the elixir, and I will bestow on the winner the title of King of Dan. The three generals are already waiting in the alchemy room of the three of you, so go back to your own alchemy room and begin!"

Qin Yue, Zhou Yuling, and Peng Longsheng returned to their respective alchemy rooms after saluting Lu. Although the rules of the competition just announced by Her Majesty the Empress are quite special and difficult, the three of them are very confident in their Dan Dao skills. The first part of the competition is to see what hidden diseases the general of Weijia Army in front of him suffers from and to what extent. Yes, looking at the doctor, the generals of the Weijia army will neither open their mouths to answer the inquiry, nor will they let themselves diagnose the pulse, this is an obstacle set up by the empress, and the three Dan kings Qin Yue, Zhou Yuling, and Peng Longsheng all understand this.

Qin Yue just glanced at the general of the Weijia Army in front of him, and knew where this general's hidden illness was. This general was injured three years ago, the cold poison in his body has not been exhausted, and he is a fire spirit root cultivator, and all he practices are fire-based martial arts. Because ice and fire are incompatible, cultivation cannot be advanced. It is not difficult to get rid of the cold poison or the cold qi in the body itself, the difficulty lies in restoring the qi veins that have been damaged by the long-term occupation of the cold qi and reaccommodating the fire aura. Only in this way can it be regarded as a true cure of this general's hidden disease, otherwise it will only be a pain reliever, and this general will still not be able to cultivate. Qin Yue was thinking about what pill to refine, she understood that this was the second obstacle to the competition, a pill had to solve the problem, and the test was comprehensive ability. Zhou Yuling and Peng Longsheng encountered a similar situation, the pills to be refined must have a comprehensive pill effect, and the patient's own bearing capacity must be considered, which is indeed a big challenge.

He Xinlan, Hu Xian'er, and Peng Xiaofei, the three Dan emperors, had to admire the mind of Lu Jin, the empress of the Great Jin Dynasty, this topic is too good. If you don't have a good grasp of medical science, efficacy, ingredient ratio, etc., you won't be able to refine a special elixir for the patient's hidden disease. In such a competition, the final winner really deserves the title of "King of Dan". No matter who wins or loses, Qin Yue, Zhou Yuling, and Peng Longsheng who participated in the competition will benefit a lot. Before Empress Lu Jin announced the rules, the three Dan kings never thought that the original Dan could be refined like this, this is a new way, Zhang Xun can imagine that once it is vigorously promoted, the Dan Dao skill will come alive.

Among the three Dan Kings, Peng Longsheng was the last to start alchemy, two hours later than Qin Yue and Zhou Yuling. The reason why Peng Longsheng was two hours late was because he thought more after Empress Lu Jin announced the rules. At the moment when Empress Lu Jin announced the rules, Peng Longsheng seemed to understand how Gu and Dan should be combined. In the past, the reason for frequent failures was that I did not find the right direction. Also, according to the ready-made Dan recipe, what is refined is the finished Dan. Joining Gu destroys the original balance, how can it succeed?And Her Majesty the Empress opened a door for him to determine the pill by himself, and Gu was used as a medicinal herb from the beginning, only in this way could it be successful.

Seeing that the three Dan Kings had already started refining the elixir, Zhang Xun said to Lu Jin: "Your Majesty, I don't know who Your Majesty favors among the three?" Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then thought that among the three Dan Emperors, she had almost no contact with the other two, but she was full of confidence in the Dan Dao of the Sacred Heart Dan Emperor Xin Lan and said: "The three Dan Kings are all the pillars of the Dan Dao of my Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, and I am looking forward to their performance. If I had to choose between them, I would be more optimistic about Qin Yue, Xin Lan's disciple. Zhang Xun said: "Your Majesty, the minister is more optimistic that Peng Longsheng will win in the end." Your Majesty is interested in gambling a game?" Lu Jin was just about to answer, and Lu Dingshan, the king of Dingshan next to him, smiled: "This gambling method is very interesting, much more interesting than those who bet on size, odd and even." How can such a gamble be without this king! There are just three Dan kings, the imperial sister chose Qin Yue, Zhang Chengxiang chose Peng Longsheng, and the king chose Zhou Yuling. If the results of the competition come out, if Qin Yue is at the bottom in the end, you have to lose two copies, Sister Huang!" Lu Jin didn't know at this time that his baby brother was uniting with Zhang Xun to take this opportunity to slaughter himself, after all, she would only choose Xin Lan's disciple. Lu Jin said with a smile: "Don't you just want me to help the two of you refine weapons! ”

The reason why Zhang Xun is optimistic about Peng Longsheng and thinks that he will stand out is naturally because of the relationship between Gu and Miao Yao. As for saying that Qin Yue is at the bottom, it is out of the conclusion of analysis. Zhou Yuling has been following Hu Xian'er around to practice medicine all these years, and teaching in the Sacred Heart Pill Academy is only part-time. And Qin Yue is different, not only teaching in the Sacred Heart Dan Academy, but also helping Shizun Xinlan manage the affairs of the Dan Academy, and the practice of alchemy is inferior to Zhou Yuling.

The final result was as Zhang Xun expected, Peng Longsheng won, Zhou Yuling followed, and Qin Yue was at the bottom. Although Lu Jin lost the bet, the hidden diseases of the three generals of the Weijia Army were all cured after taking the pill, and they were also very happy. Maybe it's a little emotional! I just want to embarrass Zhang Xun. So Lu Jin said to Zhang Xun: "Zhang Aiqing, you come to make a comment for the three Dan kings, if I am not satisfied, don't think about the sword." ”

Zhang Xun commented: "Peng Longsheng is ingenious and integrates Gu into the pill, using the Gu to absorb toxins, and the medicinal effect of the pill is used to restore the aura in the body of the person who takes the pill. This is very good, breaking through the shackles of predecessors and opening up a new direction for Dan Dao, and the king of Dan deserves his name. Zhou Yuling has been following the medical immortal Hu Xian'er for many years to practice medicine and benefit the common people. Judging from the pill just now, its medical theory and Dan Dao have been perfectly combined, and it is a pity that it was finally defeated by Peng Longsheng. Qin Yue, Dan Dao's talent is not at all overwhelmed by Peng Longsheng and Zhou Yuling, but they are riddled with mundane things and lack of practical experience to be at the bottom. Through this competition, I think that the three Dan kings have understood their own advantages and shortcomings, and I hope that you will make your own contributions to the Dan Dao of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty in the Dan Dao Competition. ”

After Zhang Xun finished commenting, Lu Jin personally put the badge of the King of Dan for Peng Longsheng, and said two words of encouragement to Zhou Yuling and Qin Yue before leaving the Sacred Heart Dan Courtyard and returning to the palace. Peng Longsheng became the king of Danwang, Peng Xiaofei and Long Huixiang were very happy, so they invited King Dingshan and Zhang Xun and others to the health hall to celebrate. As for Peng Longsheng, he originally wanted to continue to study his Gu Dan Dao, but Zhou Yuling and Qin Yue would let him go, and encouraged the students to ask him to explain the Gu Dan Dao, especially Princess Jiayi pestered him, and he had to agree to come down.
