Two days later, Ning Chen left his cultivation dojo in the black robe of an inner disciple and went to the Alchemy Hall to report.

He registered in the Outer Gate Steward's Office yesterday morning, after the Promotion Pavilion had finished the process of promoting the inner disciples. The Elder of the Promotion Pavilion took Yun Zhou out of the outer gate area and came to the inner gate.

After that, register in the deacon's hall and receive the items of the inner disciples. The deacons and elders told him about some of the things that inner disciples needed to do.

Inner disciples need to complete six sect tasks every year, and the number of sect contribution points obtained by completing the tasks is calculated according to the difficulty of the task. Inner disciples can also use contribution points to offset sect tasks, and offsetting a sect task requires a contribution point of 100 sect contribution points. Six require 600 sect contribution points.

In addition, the inner disciples can choose to cultivate freely and apprenticeship. Free cultivation means completing six sect tasks every year, and the rest of the time decides how to cultivate, and generally the inner disciples who practice freely will go to the place where the bones are buried or other places to experience. It can not only enhance cultivation, but also earn sect contribution points.

Apprenticeship cultivation is to join the Alchemy Hall, Refining Hall and other halls to become an apprentice. You can receive the benefits of the sect every month, and the benefits of the sect include the contribution points of the sect and the elixir. In addition, apprentices who successfully refine elixirs or artifacts can be rewarded with sect contribution points. However, apprentices also need to complete six sect tasks every year.

Apprentice cultivation is set for those inner disciples who don't want to risk their lives every day, and being an apprentice is naturally not as fast as the cultivation realm of free cultivation, and the gap in strength will get bigger and bigger with time, but the emphasis is on stability. After all, many inner disciples die in the experience every year.

At that time, when the deacon elders asked Ning Chen which cultivation method to choose, Ning Chen thought about it for a while and then chose the apprentice cultivation method, and chose to go to the Alchemy Hall as an apprentice.

Originally, for him, free cultivation was undoubtedly the best way to cultivate, after all, with his Huangquan poisonous physique, he could be invincible in the place where the bones were buried.

But he thought that the three drops of essence blood that he promised to bury the bones of the ghost king Gu Yunyan had not yet begun to condense and refine, so he decided not to go to the place of bones for the time being. If he provokes Gu Yunyan, the lord of the land where bones are buried, will he still be able to live? Let's not mention whether Gu Yunyan can take his life. As long as she said that he was the physique of the Huangquan poisonous body, it was estimated that there would be many high-level monks who wanted to arrest him to study. Therefore, he didn't dare to set foot in the place of bones before he condensed and refined three drops of essence blood.

In addition, he had seen another description of the Huangquan poison from the information consulted by the Shuge before, which mentioned that the Huangquan poison could not be afraid of its toxicity to the spirit pill, spirit grass, spirit fruit, etc. That is to say, he takes the elixir, spirit grass, spirit fruit, etc., whether it is poisonous or not, he can be immune. The Huangquan poison will absorb the poison, and he only needs to be responsible for refining the aura in it.

And from the book On Alchemy in the Shuge Pavilion, he saw the introduction of refining the spirit pill that would be refined into a waste pill once it was mistaken. The waste pill contains highly poisonous, and the amount of spiritual energy contained is less than one-tenth of that of the Cheng Dan. But it was also refined by consuming the spirit grass and spirit fruit. It's useless to keep it, but it's a pity to discard it, so you usually find a place to store it.

Ning Chen thought to himself, the Alchemy Hall must have stored a lot of waste pills, if he can take these waste pills by then, he may be able to enhance a lot of cultivation. Therefore, he chose to go to the Alchemy Hall as an apprentice.

After that, the deacon elder ordered a deacon disciple to assign him a dojo, that is, to assign him a mountain peak as a private cultivation place.

The inner gate was full of mountain peaks, and every new inner gate disciple would be assigned to a mountain peak as their own cultivation dojo.

The peak assigned to him is only a small peak compared to the others. However, he didn't care about this, as far as he was concerned, he just had a place to cultivate.

Another thing was that he had inquired about Ye Er's news in the Registration Pavilion of the Outer Gate Steward's Office before, but the Register Pavilion Steward told him that Ye Er's name was not in the list of outer disciples, which made him feel a little sad in his heart. met Ye Er, and he already regarded him as a friend in his heart. In this way, Ye Er must have failed the introductory trial and died in the Trial Valley.

At this time, Ning Chen had already come to the peak where the Alchemy Hall was located.

It was a towering and huge mountain, and his dojo peak was simply not comparable to it.

He climbed to the top of the mountain, only to find that there were hundreds of attic palaces built on it. The mist is like a fairyland.

An inner disciple of the seventh layer of Qi cultivation stopped him and said, "This junior disciple, Alchemy Peak is not an alchemy hall disciple, and you can't trespass without permission. Hurry away!"

Ning Chen arched his hand and said, "I've seen senior brother, Ning Chen, a new inner disciple, came to report to the Alchemy Hall." ”

"Oh, it turns out that the junior brother is here to become an alchemy apprentice. And take the disciple order and watch it with me!"

Ning Chen nodded, took out the disciple order and handed it over.

"Yes, you come with me. ”

Ning Chen took the disciple order handed back by the inner disciple and followed him towards a large hall.

Walking outside the main hall, the inner disciple shouted to the inside of the main hall, "Uncle Gonghuo, a new alchemy apprentice has come to report. ”

"Come in. An old voice came from inside the hall.

"Senior brother, you can go in. After the inner disciple finished speaking, he left.

As soon as Ning Chen walked into the main hall, there was a smell of medicinal fragrance in the hall.

A tall, white-haired old man stood in the center of the rows of jade bottles on the left side of the main hall. He was sniffing with a jade bottle in his hand, with a contemplative look on his face.

Seeing this, Ning Chen didn't speak immediately, and stood there quietly waiting. His divine sense sensed the aura around this elder, and judged that it was the late stage of foundation building. Based on this cultivation realm, it can be seen that this elder's status in the Alchemy Hall should not be low.

After a few breaths, Gong Huo nodded, and whispered in his mouth, "This spirit pill has reached the middle level, and this kid Jianxuan has some alchemy talent." ”

After putting down the jade bottle, Gong Huo looked at Ning Chen. "Yes, the demeanor is natural, not impatient. It's a good seedling for alchemy. ”

"Disciple Ning Chen, I have seen the elders. Ning Chen bowed his hand and said.

"Hmm. Come here. Gong Huo beckoned to him and walked to the huge wooden table in the center of the main hall.

Gong Huo picked up a piece of jade slip on the wooden table and looked at it, then said to Ning Chen, "The apprenticeship quota under the seat of the other alchemy elders is full, only Senior Brother Tian Feng still has three apprenticeship places, you can learn alchemy under Senior Brother Tian Feng!"

"The disciple obeyed. Ning Chen replied.

"The disciple order is taken, and Elder Ben will register it for you. ”

Ning Chen took out the disciple order and handed it forward. After Gong Huo took it, he injected information into his disciple's order and said, "Although Senior Brother Tian Feng is only a first-grade alchemist, he can only refine a first-grade pill, but there is no problem with an apprentice. If you have an excellent alchemy talent, I will rearrange it for you at that time. ”

Ning Chen had already learned about the difference between alchemists and elixir levels in the Outer Gate Technique Pavilion. Alchemists are divided into first, second, and third grades. Each product is subdivided into yellow, xuan, earth, and heaven from low to high.

And the elixir is also divided into one product, two products, three products... Each product is subdivided from low to high into inferior, inferior, medium, superior, and perfect. Inferior is a waste pill.

The level of an alchemist is determined by the grade of the elixir refined, for example, if you can refine a first-grade elixir, you are a first-grade alchemist. And the level of the first-grade elixir that was refined also determined the status of this alchemist in the ranks of first-grade alchemists. A first-grade alchemist who can refine a first-grade elixir is naturally higher than a first-grade alchemist who can only refine a medium-grade elixir. So there is a subdivision of the first pinhuang level, the Xuan level, the earth level, and the heaven level.

The Huangquan Sect is not a sect that focuses on alchemy, so it is not outstanding in alchemy. The highest alchemist in the sect is the master of the Alchemy Hall, a mid-stage Jindan Supreme Elder, and his alchemy level is the third grade.

And the first-grade elixir was given to the monks of the Qi refining period, and it had little effect on the monks of the foundation building period.

Ning Chen listened to the meaning of Gong Huo's words, and understood in his heart that Elder Tian Feng, a first-grade alchemist, was afraid that his status in the Alchemy Hall was not high.

Gong Huo returned the disciple order to Ning Chen, "Okay, I'll let Hua Shuo take you to Senior Brother Tian Feng." ”

Then he shouted. Soon, an inner disciple walked in from outside the main hall. "Disciple, Asus greets the master!"

Gong Huo waved his hand, "Huashuo, you take Ning Chen to report to your Uncle Tian Feng." ”

"Yes. ”

After Huashuo responded, he said to Ning Chen, "Senior Brother Ning, let's go." ”

Ning Chen bowed his hand to Gong Huo, and followed Huashuo out of the main hall.

Walking between the palace feather attics, Hua Shuo suddenly whispered, "Senior Brother Ning, you are relatively unlucky. ”

Ning Chen asked suspiciously, "Senior Brother Hua, why did you say this?"

"Senior Uncle Tian is the lowest-ranking alchemist among all the elders in the Alchemy Hall, and his level of a first-grade mid-level alchemist is not even as good as those alchemy apprentices with excellent talents. Isn't it bad luck for you to come to his seat as an alchemy apprentice? I'm just telling you in advance, don't talk nonsense. Uncle Tian doesn't have a good temper, and he will be in trouble when he hears it. ASUS said in a low voice.

Ning Chen didn't care much about this. He came to the Alchemy Hall as an apprentice because he came to waste the pill, and after condensing and refining three drops of essence blood, he left the Alchemy Hall to cultivate freely. At that time, the deacon elders told him that apprentices can decide to stay on their own, and if they don't want to do it, they can leave the apprenticeship at any time and choose to practice freely.

"Thank you Senior Brother Hua for reminding me, Senior Brother, I am naturally tight-lipped and will not talk nonsense. ”

After chatting, they came to a palace.

"When you arrive, you can go in on your own. I'm not going in. ”

"Ning Chen, thank Senior Brother Hua for leading the way!" Ning Chen thanked Hua Shuo. ASUS nodded and left.

Walking into the palace, he smelled the heat of the elixir. Of the dozen or so compartments, three were closed. The heat of the pill overflowed from it.

Ning Chen's divine sense checked that there were two sixth-level Qi cultivation and one seventh-layer inner disciple practicing Qi in these three compartments who were refining the pill. Obviously, these three people were also alchemy apprentices, and his divine sense also checked the location of a monk who had cultivated to the realm in the early stage of foundation building within the palace.

So he walked through the chambers to the inner courtyard of the palace, where he stopped in front of an attic. He was about to shout to the attic when a voice came from inside the attic.

"Where's the impudent boy? Who let you break in? And are there any rules? Get out!"
