Chapter 137: Danhui

Alchemy is a very knowledgeable, pay a lot of attention, not to mention the ever-changing Danfang ingredients, but the various skills at the time of alchemy are also a very profound skill, the collocation of spiritual materials, the time of entering the furnace and the order of various spiritual materials, including the heat of the furnace and the size of the furnace in each period of time, often have very fine requirements, if it is not a monk who is indeed talented in alchemy, it is really not far on this road.

Such a delicate alchemy of course, it needs a quiet place that is not disturbed by the outside world, so it is naturally impossible for this pill meeting to be held in an open-air place like the sea viewing platform, including the elixir hall. The place where the Dan meeting was held this time was in the Open Fire Hall behind the Elixir Hall of the Dan Hall, and most of the places where many disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect came over because of curiosity also gathered outside the Open Fire Hall.

Shen Shi walked a little in the direction of the Open Fire Palace, and suddenly saw a figure walking in the distance in front of him that was a little familiar, raised his eyes and looked carefully, it was actually Sun You, and hurriedly waved his arm and shouted:

"Sun You!"

When Sun You heard this call, he looked startled, turned his head to look around, and soon saw Shen Shi standing here, and suddenly a hearty smile appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly, and said, "Shi, why are you here too, are you also here to see Danhui?"

Shen Shi smiled: "Isn't it lively here, anyway, there is nothing left and right, just come and take a look." ”

Sun You smiled and nodded, walked forward side by side with him, and said at the same time: "Yes, seeing that next year's Fourth Orthodox Conference is coming, I don't know how to do it, this Dantang's annual Dan meeting has suddenly become the beginning of the selection of elite disciples, I remember that there was no such thing in previous years?"

Shen Shi smiled, looking at the front of the open fire hall in front of him, maybe the Dan Hall had already anticipated today's lively situation, and actually pulled up a long rope outside the main hall in advance, enclosing a large open space at the entrance of the hall, presumably not letting these sect disciples who were watching the excitement get too close to the open fire hall, so as not to disturb the disciples who were participating in the alchemy of the Dan Society.

At a cursory glance, the other disciples who came to the Open Fire Hall this morning were crowded, and it seemed that there were at least hundreds of people, Shen Shi couldn't help but secretly speak, and at the same time said to Sun You, "Why are so many people here today?"

Sun You also looked left and right, and said with a smile: "I think most of them are like us, idle and concerned about the candidates of the Four Righteous Meeting, come and see the excitement." Saying that, he and Shen Shi had already walked outside the Open Fire Palace, and they couldn't continue to move forward because of the rope blocking, but they saw that the other Lingxiao Sect disciples around him were also standing very calmly aside, everyone was in groups of three or five, all chatting and chatting with each other, and what they said was inseparable from the matter of this Danhui.

Shen Shi glanced at the tall open fire hall, and saw that the shape of this hall was also peculiar, looking at it like an extraordinarily huge Dan furnace, slightly smaller up and down, round and bulging in the middle, standing majestically on the stone platform in front of him. At this moment, a few wisps of fireworks floated from above the main hall, and they were quickly blown away by the sea breeze, and there were many Dantang disciples standing in front of the main hall, all of them with focused expressions, obviously attaching great importance to this Dan meeting.

Shen Shi looked at it for a while, but he didn't see Zhong Qinglu's figure, and couldn't help but ask Sun Youdao: "Didn't you say that Zhong Qinglu was also going to participate in this Dan meeting, why didn't you see her?"

Sun You sneered, glanced at Shen Shi with disdain, and then said with a smile: "It's strange to see her, disciples like her who participate in the Dan Festival are all in the alchemy room in the Open Fire Palace, and now they are concentrating on alchemy." ”

Shen Shi let out an "oh" and said, "It turns out that it has already begun, by the way, haven't you always been well-informed, this Dan meeting, do you think Zhong Qinglu has a good chance of winning and worshipping under Elder Yunni?"

Sun You thought about it, but slowly shook his head. Shen Shi was taken aback and said, "What, do you think she has no chance to win?"

Sun You shook his head again and said: "No, as far as I know, Zhong Qinglu's talent in the Dan Dao should be considered pretty good, but this year's Dan meeting is a little different, because of the Four Righteous Conference, you don't know how many families under the sect are now suddenly like crazy, desperately smashing resources and spiritual materials on their own children." Not to mention anything else, in previous years, there were generally only about five people left in the alchemy room of such a Dan meeting, but this year, hehe, do you know how many Dantang disciples are in the alchemy room of the Open Fire Hall now?"

Shen Shi frowned and said, "How many?"

Sun You bared his teeth and said, "Fifteen people, three times more." ”

Shen Shi was taken aback and said, "How can so many people come out?"

Sun You smiled and said, "If you don't spend money at this time, when will you use it?" In short, because there are suddenly too many disciples participating in the meeting, I heard that even the rules of the Dan Association have been changed. Each person is equipped with a three-pin Danfang spiritual material, and then directly start alchemy, those who become Dan pass the test, and those who fail to make alchemy will withdraw directly, without the slightest emotion, and then repeat it until there is only one person left in the end. Speaking of this, Sun You also sighed, looked at the open fire hall and sighed twice, and said, "I think you also know how delicate alchemy is, even when alchemy often makes mistakes on weekdays, let alone on this important Dan meeting? ”

Shen Shi was silent for a while, the rules of the Dan Club suddenly became so strict, he was also stunned, and even a little worried about Zhong Qinglu in his heart, after all, such a result of success or failure, the test for a person is really huge, and it is no wonder that Sun You is not very optimistic that Zhong Qinglu can stand out in this Dan meeting.

When the two of them were talking in a deep voice, they suddenly heard a crisp and loud sound of cloud plates coming from the open fire hall in front of them, which immediately suppressed all the voices inside and outside the main hall, and everyone's eyes looked towards the main hall, including those Dantang disciples, and their faces were also a little nervous.

Sun You's spirits perked up, and he said in a low voice: "The first round of alchemy is over, I don't know how many people will be eliminated directly if they make alchemy mistakes." ”

Shen Shi only felt that his heartbeat was inexplicably a little faster, and he raised his eyes to look at the gate of the Open Fire Palace, staring carefully. It didn't take long for the eyes of all the people to flicker, and then two Dantang disciples with heavy footsteps walked out one after the other, looking like young men in their early twenties, their faces were full of frustration and a look of pain and remorse.

Shen Shi and Sun You glanced at each other, Sun You pursed his lips and said softly, "Two." ”

※※※

The losers staggered away, like a lost dog licking its wounds, and after the initial attention lingered for a moment in the eyes of the crowd, no one would look at them again.

In addition, there was no more movement in the Open Fire Hall, but the Dantang disciples standing outside the main hall didn't know if they felt the same way, and their expressions were solemn.

Half an hour later, the sound of the cloud board rose again, but this time it was the second round of alchemy of the Dan Society.

There are more and more disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect surrounding the Ming Huo Palace, even if they can't really enter the main hall to see the grand occasion of the Na Dan Society, but for most people, standing here seems to feel the curtain of the Four Righteous Conference, which is about to open, and there seems to be a strange feeling in the dark.

This round of alchemy lasted for an hour, and then when the sound of the cloud board sounded crisply again, in an instant, everyone inside and outside the main hall above and below the stone platform was quiet, and all eyes were firmly fixed on the gate.

The corners of Shen Shi's mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously felt a burst of nervousness, although he didn't understand why he felt this way, because it was clear that this Dan meeting should not have much to do with him.

Perhaps, are you still a little worried about her?

Afraid that she will make a mistake, afraid that she will fail, afraid that her years of hard work and wish from the beginning of Qingyu Island to the present will be in vain, are you afraid that she will be sad and sad?

I'm afraid she has red eyes.

I'm afraid she's in tears.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at his palm that he didn't know when he clenched, and suddenly felt a faint confusion in his heart.

Suddenly, Sun You said in a deep voice beside him: "Someone came out." ”

Shen Shi raised his head suddenly, looked at the door of the hall, and sure enough, he saw that in the dim shadows of the hall, several figures slowly walked out, and the first one was slender, and it was a woman.

Shen Shi only felt that his heart sank suddenly, and subconsciously took a step forward, and saw that the woman who came out was pale, her face was pale, and her eyes were already full of tears.

It's just that Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, this woman was beautiful, but it was not Zhong Qinglu, his heart was relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then shook his head secretly, thinking about why he couldn't hold his breath so much.

When he raised his eyes again, a few more people walked out one after another behind the female disciple, but they were all male disciples, it seemed that Zhong Qinglu was extraordinary, and he actually advanced to the third round of alchemy under such a huge pressure.

Sun You, on the other hand, took a breath, and there was a faint tension in his tone, and said in a low voice: "There are seven people." ”

Shen Shi squinted slightly and didn't speak, but his heart still sank slightly.

Yes, this extremely strict Dan Hui has only reached the second round, and nearly half of the number of people have been directly eliminated, and those who are still in the Dan Club at this moment continue to insist on alchemy, in the face of the refining of the Sanpin Spirit Pill that usually makes mistakes from time to time, what kind of huge pressure should they be carrying?

※※※

When the cloud board of the third round of alchemy sounded, it was already noon, perhaps because he saw the expressions of those Dantang disciples who were in pain because of failure, or because he was infected by the unexpectedly harsh atmosphere of the Dan Meeting, in the crowd watching outside the Ming Huo Palace, the originally relaxed atmosphere began to gradually become solemn, and some of the original chatter and jokes were gone, although not many people dispersed, but everyone's conversation quietly turned into whispers.

Another hour passed, and when the sound of the cloud board rose again, Shen Shi stared at the door of the main hall, and watched four people slowly walk out of it again, including men and women, with a look of disappointment and regret on their faces, and a tired color that could not be concealed.

Alchemy is a matter of great mental effort.

Sun You walked up to his side and said in a deep voice, "There is no Zhong Qinglu." ”

Shen Shi nodded, and slowly withdrew his gaze, which was a sigh of relief, but for some reason, looking at those people who came out, he didn't feel really relaxed at all. At this point, after three consecutive rounds of alchemy, the people who still have to persist are afraid that what they are facing is not only the skill of alchemy, whether it is the mental strength and the pressure on the heart, I am afraid that they have reached a limit, but looking at the meaning of the Dan Hall, it seems that the Yun Niyun Elder in the Ming Fire Hall still does not have the slightest intention of suspending.

Even, it felt like it was only a short time later this time, and the crisp cloud board sound sounded again.

In the crowd outside the main hall, I don't know how many people changed their faces in an instant.

"Four more ......"

Shen Shi whispered, but the voice sounded a little difficult.
