Chu Tianhu shook the soot and medicine dust on his body, and dragged his tired body out of the alchemy room. It had been more than a month since he left Shifang Town and came to the Tianxing Sect in the territory of the Red Flame Country.

After a furnace of Dan can rest for a day, according to the five to seven days of Dan and a furnace, Chu Tianhu can calculate the approximate time of entering the Tianxing Sect. This time, the Tianxing Sect recruited a total of nine people into the sect to refine the pill, and as a result, after entering the sect, they taught a kind of five spirit pill pills, and then threw the nine people into the Danfang for alchemy day and night.

handed the Dan bottle in his arms to Dantong, who was already waiting at the door, and Dantong respectfully took the aisle: Senior brother has worked hard, I will send it to Dan Pavilion to count and hang on the gong. Chu Tianhu nodded, didn't say much, followed a long road paved with jade plates, and walked to the end of the alchemy heavy land protected by the formation.

I turned around and saw myself standing on the edge of the cliff, the Danshe Palace Pavilion was all gone, the forest and sea below the cliff were vast, the leaves were divided into five colors, a good autumn scenery, a good illusion array.

This place is located in the mountain behind the sect, about three miles away from the sect, Chu Tianhu did not drive the law, but walked with his hands. There was no one along the way, and halfway through, someone behind him called: Brother Chu, wait for me! As soon as the words fell, a person caught up behind him, holding a scroll, wearing a brocade robe of the sect, a loose scarf, and a beautiful nose and a white face like jade.

Shangguan Fei caught up with Chu Tianhu and walked side by side: Brother Chu, there were a total of nine people who entered the Zongmen Dan Pavilion that day. Now there are only you and me left, I don't know how Brother Chu feels?

The question was a little abrupt, and Chu Tianhu couldn't figure out what he meant for a while. Biandao: If you want to say that you have feelings, it's one word, tired. But the sect has not treated you and me badly, there is a fine house, and there are spiritual pills to eat, except for the exercises that have not been taught, I think it's not bad.

That's all?Shangguan Fei was slightly stunned.

Chu Tianhu said helplessly: I had already cultivated one before, and it was like you, the pride of heaven who passed the Shangguan family's layers of assessment and finally stood out and was recommended to enter the sect. I'm surprised that you've been able to hold on until now.

Are you underestimating me?

No.

Not really?

Not really.

By the way, to be honest, with Brother Chu's ability, have you ever thought about walking upward? Shangguan Fei pointed to a pillar of heavenly ladder peaks in the distance. As far as the eye can see, you can vaguely see stairs carved on the straight peak, from the foot of the peak to the peak.

Chu Tianhu knew that Shangguan Fei was not asking him to really climb the ladder, but as a metaphor for taking up a position in the sect. Most of the monks and monks who have positions in the sect have achieved good results in climbing the ladder, so it is customary to regard climbing the ladder as a promotion in the sect.

Chu Tianhu was noncommittal about this, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Shangguan Feiyue's expression of eagerness. Tan asked: I don't know what news do you know, junior brother?

You and I have little qualifications, so there is no news. After walking a few steps and seeing that Chu Tianhu didn't ask, Shangguan Fei couldn't help himself and said: However, a few days ago, I heard an elder from the Shangguan family in the sect reveal something. Seeing that Chu Tianhu was still raising his head and hurrying away, he continued: A planner in the original Dan Pavilion tied the knot and Jin Dan was going up, so there was a vacancy, and this time the sect intended to select one of the juniors under Jin Dan from within the Dan Pavilion to take this position.

In that case, it doesn't have anything to do with you and me, does it?

Originally, it didn't matter if you and I were new to the company, but this time the above means that we will be selected through the 'Doudan', so we will have a chance this time.

Seeing that Chu Tianhu was absent-minded, Shangguan Fei was a little displeased, and said: I have said everything that should be said, I hope that Brother Chu will be able to overwhelm the crowd by then, and give us new disciples more face.

I'll do my best! Besides, junior brother, your talent in alchemy is much stronger than mine, so this important task should be entrusted to you. Chu Tianhu coped with it, and at this time he had come to a fork in the road, and Chu Tianhu raised his chin at the left hand path.

Shangguan Fei hurriedly said: The stream is cold, I still go back to my residence to take a bath. Chu Tianhu said: Okay, don't leave it at that. By the way, has the date of 'Doudan' been set?

March 17, the day of the fire. Shangguan Fei replied, put the scroll behind his neck, and walked away with a slight arch.

After stepping into the path and turning a corner, the scenery changes again, the two mountains are sandwiched between the ditches, the red maple is full of mountains, the flowing water is murmuring, the walk extends the flowing water and goes up, and after about a stick of incense, it arrives at a quiet place with a small waterfall and deep pool. The mountain wind occasionally blew away the waterfall, and in a blink of an eye, it rained a misty drizzle in front of the pool. Ling An sat on the big stone by the pond, and Chu Tianhu, who had been refining the Dan in the Danfang for many days, opened all the pores of his body, greedily absorbing the hard-won cool breath.

Ever since I came here one day by accident, every time I finish a furnace of Dan, I will come here to meditate and think for an hour or so. Once Shangguan Fei came along, the young men encouraged each other to go into the water together. The water in this pool is clear but cold and biting, his physique is strong and barely supportive, Shangguan Fei has fine skin and tender meat, unless he stimulates the aura to protect the body, he can't resist the cold, who takes a bath and uses spiritual power to do this thing to buy and return pearls to spoil the scenery, so this place is really not suitable for bathing, but it is suitable for meditation and thinking.

Tianxingzong has no reputation in the Eastern Continent, and can only be regarded as a medium immortal gate, but it has stood for thousands of years in the eastern continent where many strong immortal sects are lined up, relying on the three kinds of pills that are only produced by this sect and have acceptable sales to support, the five spirit pills are one of them, this pill has the best effect when the five elements of the aura are damaged in the body, if you just make up for one or two of the spiritual qi, it will be a little more than worth the loss, and the loss of the five spirits is a state that every monk must try to avoid, so the five spirit pills are a little chicken but also indispensable, and each monk will prepare a few pills to meet the needs of the emergency.

This time, the Tianxing Sect recruited nine alchemy monks in the foundation building period, in addition to the high-intensity work, there were no benefits and bright prospects as promised at the beginning, so seven people left in less than two months, and when these seven people left, the sect did not say anything to stay, they all went with their natural posture, showing the true colors of the sect.

Although Chu Tianhu didn't know what the sect's move meant, he grew up in the family of cultivating immortals since he was a child, and he saw that he had seen more than those wild cultivators, and he guessed that the sect had its own deep meaning, so he silently endured it. At the beginning of this month, he and Shangguan Fei, who had also not left, were transferred to the Zhenzhen Alchemy Heavy Land Dan Pavilion of the Sect, and their identities were correspondingly changed to peripheral disciples, leading brocade clothes and hanging waist cards.

Chu Tianhu knew that he had just passed the first level of the sect's test, and it was unknown what the test would be in the future, maybe Shangguan Fei knew, he didn't want to listen, he was safe, he was innocent, he was not an undercover agent of other sects, so he could deal with some difficulties calmly.

This time, he actually cared about 'Doudan' very much, but he didn't want to show it in front of Shangguan Fei. But he also knows that even if he has some confidence to stand out in the 'Doudan', where there are people, there is a fight, and some interests are even more life-and-death. If there is nothing behind it, it is a big joke, so although he attaches importance to it, he doesn't pay much attention to it, as long as he can step by step in the future, entering the inner door is half of the goal, and the rest depends on the chance.

Just thinking about it, a woman's gentle and cold singing voice came from his ears: Tianxingjian, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement.

Never rest, never rest

What is the basis of the road

In order to prove that there are thousands of ways to live forever

I have only one way in my heart

No vain, no desire, no color, no mercy

・・・・・・

This ballad was arranged by the founding patriarch of the Tianxing Sect, who is known as the Four Innocent Sects, when he was bored, and occasionally chanted to entertain himself, but now this patriarch has long been unknown.

The ballad is now singing from the woman's mouth, and although it is a little weird, the tone is still a little dusty despite the lyrics.
