The core of Xuantian Sect is deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The luxurious flying boat landed slowly, and those who stepped off it were Jian Jia and Zhang Suixian who had met Ouyang Ming in the starry sky.
When they arrived at Zhenwu Continent, they took a flying boat and left. However, Ouyang Ming was delayed in Beishan City for such a long time. Logically speaking, they should have arrived here long ago.
Not really, they ran into trouble on the road.
In the beautiful courtyard, an old man sat, looking at Jian Jia lovingly. Next to the old man were Chu Jingyun and the others who were chasing the jade token before. Chu Jingyun looked extremely serious at this moment.
"Sui Xian, the ancient demon is a big deal. Are you sure you got it right?" The old man's eyes stopped on Zhang Suixian and said in a gentle tone.
Zhang Suixian looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Elder Wang, I will definitely not be mistaken. Those who appeared in Zhongzhou City must be ancient demons. I have seen books about them in Tianxing Mansion. Those ancient demons are very rampant. , many villages near Zhongzhou City have been attacked by them, and this junior also delayed his trip. "
Jian Jia's face was flushed, and she also said: "Grandpa Wang, thanks to Uncle Zhang this time. You don't know how miserable the villagers over there are. Many people were eaten alive by those monsters."
The old man's two white eyebrows were locked together tightly, as if he was recalling something in his heart. After a moment, he said: "There is an ancient demon ruin next to the main city of Zhongzhou. Could it be that the ancient demon in the ruins came out? "
The ancient demon is bloodthirsty and ferocious, and feeds on humans. It is now very rare in the world. Even if there are, they are hidden in harsh environments. They knew that once discovered, they would be immediately suppressed by the strong men of the human race.
Zhang Suixian continued: "Those ancient demons are extremely bold. In terms of their behavior, they are very different from the ancient demons in the world today. I also suspect that they came from the ruins."
Zhang Suixian's voice was very cautious, because this was a major event. The ruins over the main city of Zhongzhou suppressed countless ancient demons. If they all come out, it may not be a big deal to Zhenwu Continent. As long as strong men are dispatched, they can definitely suppress it, but for the main city of Zhongzhou and nearby cities, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster.
"Jingyun, you immediately go to the main city of Zhongzhou to investigate this matter. If you find any abnormality in the ancient ruins, report it to me in time. Don't be merciful when you encounter ancient monsters, and don't let the foundation of the human race be damaged."
"Yes, elder." Chu Jingyun's eyes flashed with light.
Chu Jingyun and several direct disciples left.
Only the old man and Jian Jia were left in the yard. Zhang Suixian said: "Elder Wang, on the way from Tianxing Mansion to Zhenwu Continent, we met a wizard."
"Oh?" There was a strange look in the old man's eyes. He wanted to know what kind of talent could be worthy of the title of wizard in the mouth of his son, a capable subordinate.
Half a month passed leisurely, and it had been a full month since Ouyang Ming came to Xuantian Sect.
In order to learn alchemy, Ouyang Ming would go to the mountains every few days. There are rich species in that mountain, and there are also plenty of elixirs.
Every time he goes into the mountains, Ouyang Ming gains a lot.
Not to mention returning with a full load, at least it can support his need for alchemy.
Ouyang Ming studied hard based on the experience and elixir prescriptions in the True Solution to Alchemy. In this month, he produced nearly a thousand elixirs. Not only that, there are more than a hundred types of elixirs.
There are already a lot of hundreds of elixirs. Although there is still a big gap between the tens of thousands recorded in the Alchemy True Solution, it is already more than the vast majority of alchemists.
At least in the outer alchemy department, there is definitely no one who understands elixirs better than Ouyang Ming does now.
The Sluggish Turtle has grown in size, and has also broken through to a mid-level spiritual beast. As Ouyang Ming's test subject, it is quite lucky. I have taken so many pills, but so far I haven’t had any adverse reactions.
Ouyang Ming would make him eat a few pills of the red pill every two days. Nowadays, the slow turtle is so fast that even the Venerable may not be able to catch up with it.
If outsiders knew this, they would probably be so surprised that their jaws would drop to the ground. Even the fastest middle-grade spiritual beasts would not be faster than the Venerable.
The gap between major levels cannot be bridged by talent. But now the Slow Turtle has done it, and this guy is still a species that is notoriously slow.
The effect of the red elixir made Ouyang Ming extremely surprised. If he kept feeding the Slow Turtle with elixirs like this, how fast would it wait until its strength breaks through to the realm of the venerable? At that time, even the emperor might not be able to compare with it. What if it could be cultivated to become an emperor? That…
Ouyang Ming couldn't help but imagine that if everything went well, even the Nine Sword Emperors might not be able to catch up to him if Sluggish Turtle reached the realm of an emperor.
This is simply a perfect mount, but when Ouyang Ming thinks of himself sitting on an ugly turtle traveling through all the worlds, Ouyang Ming feels that the picture is quite inconsistent.
The slow turtle secretly glanced at Ouyang Ming, wondering what the devil was planning
"You don't think you want to eat me because I'm fat..." The slow turtle, suffering from persecution paranoia, had the idea of escape every minute.
It was just because of Ouyang Ming's warning that it didn't dare to leave. It is also very comfortable to take pills every day. If there were no worries about being eaten, the Slow Turtle would be willing to live like this for the rest of its life.
"I'll call you Swift Turtle from now on." Ouyang Ming ignored the objection and changed the name of Slow Turtle to a name that was more in line with its current situation.
"Today is the day of assessment, I have to report early." Ouyang Ming thought secretly in his heart.
After coming to Xuantian Sect for a full month, Ouyang Ming also ushered in his first assessment. The content of this assessment was the knowledge of various elixirs.
If you want to pass the examination, you must do more homework this month. At least you must read the elixir manual several times.
Ouyang Ming didn't care. His current understanding of alchemy was not comparable to that of the outer sect's alchemy masters. He thought the small test was a joke.
Half an hour later, Ouyang Ming arrived at the assessment place.
The location is in the open space in front of Deacon Mo's Bamboo Building, and there are already many people there, all of whom are new outer disciples who have started in recent times.
Among the crowd, Ouyang Ming also saw the Bai brothers. Their faces were a little pale and their bodies were exhausted. They didn't know what was going on.
The two of them also saw Ouyang Ming, with resentful looks in their eyes. Although they could never be connected with Ouyang Ming when they suddenly went crazy last time, Ouyang Ming shot and injured them, and they have not forgotten this hatred.
During that madness, they destroyed hundreds of Qi-Building Pills. As a result, he was severely beaten by the law enforcement disciples, and was directly driven away by the alchemist. He was assigned to Chaishan, the most tiring place in the outer sect.
Chaishan has the fewest outer disciples because no one wants to go there. The outer disciples in this place have only one task, which is to continuously chop wood. Don't say that practitioners in the spiritual realm have no effort to chop wood. That would be wrong. The Xuantian Sect uses professional wood for alchemy, with a density similar to fine iron. It is very difficult to cut them down, not to mention having to process the chopped firewood into sections every day.
It had only been half a month, but the two of them were already exhausted, as if they had fallen from heaven to hell.
Ouyang Ming didn't pay attention to these two people. Compared with their plans against him, his counterattack was considered very kind.
It would be fine if the two of them knew each other well, but if they didn't know each other and still wanted to plot against him, Ouyang Ming would not be polite to them.
After a while, Song Qingshan also walked over from a distance.
He looks much better than the two Bai brothers. Spirit Beast Mountain is similar to Spirit Medicine Mountain. It is very leisurely and only raises some low-level spirit beasts.
Some of these spirit beasts will serve as mounts, and some will be directly made into food. Song Qingshan raised pigs there.
"Brother Ou..."
After seeing Ouyang Ming, Song Qingshan smiled bitterly and had no choice but to say hello.
Compared to Ouyang Ming, who is obsessed with alchemy, Song Qingshan is very clear about what is happening in the outer sect.
He knew the miserable situation of the Bai brothers. This Bai brother was extremely unlucky. First he was beaten to death by the people from the Law Enforcement Department, and then he was assigned to Chaishan where it was the hardest work. It is said that there will be punishment for failing to complete the tasks every day. This result made Song Qingshan feel a lot more balanced.
Perhaps not choosing the Alchemy Department at that time was a blessing in disguise.
There were not many people in the open space, only more than a hundred. These people were selected from other places and were disciples of the same batch as Ouyang Ming and the others.
When the sun shone at noon, Deacon Mo slowly walked out of the bamboo house. These outer disciples had been left to dry for more than an hour. However, no one complained, and even if they were unhappy, they did not dare to show it.
This month has been able to wear away most people's arrogance and make them understand that this is a hierarchical place.
If you offend an old man among the outer disciples, there will be no good consequences. If you offend the outer deacons, the two Bai brothers are the best examples.
Deacon Mo's eyes flashed across everyone and he nodded with satisfaction.
He said: "This is your first assessment at Xuantian Sect's outer sect. I won't go into details about its importance. You will be rewarded if you pass the assessment, and you will be severely punished if you fail."
When he mentioned the word "punishment", Deacon Mo specially emphasized his tone. The outer disciples of the Law Enforcement Department around them all had serious faces, and their cold gazes filled the air.
The Bai brothers shuddered, they were very afraid of these two words.
Deacon Mo said calmly: "The content of the assessment is very simple. I will take out a thousand low-level elixirs. You just need to identify them carefully. If you can identify more than 900 kinds, it will be considered excellent, 800 kinds will be considered good, and 70 kinds will be considered good." If you pass 100 types, you will fail the assessment if you do less than 700 types.”
After explaining the rules, the disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall brought dozens of bamboo rafts with fresh elixirs placed on them.
