The ancient castle, like a huge beast, exudes a desolate atmosphere. When Long Chen and Zhao Xiang entered the gate of the castle, they did not accept the interrogation. Zhao Xiang greeted the strong guard at the gate and took Long Chen to enter. in the city.
After entering the city, Long Chen found that the entire castle was blessed with a huge formation, and the spiritual energy in the city was several times stronger than the outside, which made Long Chen have to marvel at Dan Gu's handwriting.
After entering the city, Long Chen found that this was regarded as a holy place for alchemy, and it was very lively. Along the way, Long Chen saw many young disciples walking up and down the road, but in a hurry, almost no one paid attention to anyone.
What surprised Long Chen the most was that these disciples were extremely young, some even said that they were young, and some of them seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and their cultivation base was only in the state of Tongmai.
"We Pill Valley, focus on alchemy, not on cultivation, the younger the disciples, the greater the potential they can tap, and the lower the cultivation, the greater the space for the expansion of the power of the soul.
So it's not surprising to see these young disciples, but the competition among our Pill Valley disciples is extremely fierce, and those who can enter the Pill Valley are called alchemy geniuses.
But here, geniuses are flooded and become ordinary people, and geniuses are all dignified, and they are used to being aloof, being held up, being looked up to, and being worshipped by others.
Therefore, geniuses, they all practice hard when they arrive here, and they don't need to be urged. Look at them, even if they are acquaintances, they just nod their heads and basically don't speak.
Because they feel that talking is a waste of time, and they want to spend all their time on practice. " Zhao Xiang explained to Long Chen.
"My dear, do you want to work so hard?" Long Chen stayed, and he didn't even want to waste the time to speak, it was too hard.
Long Chen felt that he was fighting enough, but compared with them, he was simply too lazy to die.
"Hey, you can't do it if you don't work hard, sometimes vanity is the driving force behind people's progress.
Everyone wants to stand on top of others, look down on the heroes, and dominate, and no one wants to be stepped on by others.
In the Pill Valley, the technique of alchemy is everything. As long as your technique of alchemy is strong enough, you can do whatever you want. Moreover, our alchemy cultivation route is different from that of ordinary practitioners. How many resources are needed, how many, beautiful women, you don't need your initiative, they will rush to post them, hehe, you know! "Zhao Xiang smiled and blinked at Long Chen.
I go, the benefits are so good? Dan Xiu is so comfortable, there is no need to reboot, this is too cool.
Normal practitioners, after entering the innate realm, can theoretically have offspring without destroying their spiritual roots and stagnating their cultivation.
However, most practitioners, even after entering the innate realm, will not choose to reproduce, because the higher the realm of the parents, the higher the purity of the spiritual blood, and the children born will inherit the power of their parents' blood and become geniuses. The higher the probability.
Therefore, most practitioners will only consider finding a partner to reproduce when their cultivation reaches the peak.
Therefore, most male practitioners will find one or more dual cultivators after the innate realm, but they will not choose to reproduce.
Male cultivators have no problem finding a Taoist companion, but female cultivators usually do not choose a Taoist companion unless they have to.
This involves a kind of mentality problem. Male cultivators usually regard beautiful women as wealth and satisfy their desire to conquer, but there are not many real emotions.
But female cultivators are different. Once they break their bodies, their hearts will be greatly affected. They usually cultivate with him because they fall in love with him.
This is different from the attitude of male cultivators. If there is a difference, it is that male cultivators take the kidney and female cultivators take the heart.
Once a female nun falls in love with a man, her mood will change greatly, especially after she breaks her body, her mood will become chaotic for a period of time.
Cultivation is a boat in muddy water, if you don't advance, you will retreat, so double cultivation has little effect on male cultivators, but has a great impact on female cultivators.
Unless it was the female cultivator who had never loved this man at all, and was just relying on her own beauty to exchange for the same benefits with men, that would be another matter.
It's just that in the world of practice, this kind of thing is relatively rare. For female cultivators, this kind of sacrifice is too great, and the rewards that can be exchanged may not be worth their losses.
However, Dan Xiu is an independent and special practitioner, and the female cultivator does not need to be restrained in this regard. As long as she has enough talent and understanding, she does not need to maintain a clear mind.
Therefore, Pill Valley does not prohibit emotional problems among the disciples, and Zhao Xiang even hinted that Long Chen should give Long Chen the motivation to move forward. After all, men are all animals with kidneys.
Along the way, Zhao Xiang and Long Chen introduced some Pill Valley rules and taboos, which are basically similar to ordinary sects.
Soon, a magnificent building appeared in front, that is, Dan Lisi, which was responsible for all the chores in Dan Valley, including the level of disciples.
With Zhao Xiang leading the way, the process is very simple, you only need to submit the nameplate, and then Zhao Xiang will handle the rest, and the procedures will be completed soon.
After completing the formalities, Long Chen obtained a new nameplate, which is a disciple nameplate.
"This disciple's nameplate is the nameplate of the inner disciple, it's useless, it's just a cutscene.
Your goal is to enter the Shendan Hall, where elite disciples practice cultivation and enjoy treatment that is thousands of times better than inner disciples.
There are millions of outer sect disciples in Pill Valley, more than 80,000 inner sect disciples, and only 3,000 disciples of Shendan Hall.
And this number of people is always the same, that is, you, if you can enter the Shendan Hall, then the people in the bottom of the original Shendan Hall will be squeezed out by you.
I took a look and found that there are still ten days before the next Inner Sect Disciple's challenge to the Shendan Hall Qualification Competition.
This competition test is held every two months, and the inner disciples and the top 1,000 people are all eligible to participate.
According to what I mean, I want you to participate in the next competition, but the guardian of the law means that the time is tight, and only by entering the Shendan Hall can you get the best training.
You are only an inner disciple now, and there are not many resources that the Dharma Protector can win for you. After all, there are those old-fashioned guys who are too strict.
But if you enter the Shendan Hall, it will be different. We will support you with some precious resources, and they will not dare to say anything. "
"Well, I understand that the Dharma Protector has good intentions, and the disciple understands. By the way, Elder Zhao, I heard that there is a second book of this Great Brahma Sutra? I don't know if the disciple has a chance to practice." Long Chen asked.
"This... I'm afraid it's a little difficult, the first volume of the Great Brahma Sutra can be practiced by any disciple, and it's not a top secret.
However, in the second volume of the Great Brahma Sutra, a certain status is required to practice, and usually only the powerhouse with the qualification of the pagoda master can practice. "Zhao Xiang shook his head and said, because even he is not qualified to study the second volume of the Great Brahma Sutra.
"Is that so? That disciple is unable to practice?" Long Chen couldn't help but look disappointed. He was here for the second volume of the Great Brahma Sutra. The disciple did not practice it, Nima, isn't this nonsense? .
"Actually, you don't have to be disappointed. Disciples can also learn. The main thing is to see if you are amazing enough. If you are really amazing enough, I believe that the Dharma Protector will definitely help you win." Zhao Xiang hurriedly comforted him. I am afraid that Long Chen will lose power.
In the days that followed, Long Chen spent his time in a secret room. Inside the secret room, there were several thousand tall jade sticks. There were thousands of jade sticks.
Each jade stick is a classic of alchemy, which records various alchemy theories and summaries of failures, as well as some ideas.
"Idiot, I've seen this thing too much, I'm afraid I can't even practice Dan!"
Long Chen was locked in a secret room by himself to learn these things, because it was related to the theoretical test of entering Shendan Hall.
Because the competition in the Shendan Hall is divided into two parts: theory and practice, you not only need to be able to make alchemy, but also need to say why.
But these things in front of them are all the benevolent see the benevolence and the wise see the wisdom, and what everyone tells is their personal experience. Their alchemy techniques are indeed not many, and some theories are also very novel and unique.
But those things are only in line with their tastes and preferences. It's like everyone is learning to paint. Lao Tzu is learning landscape painting. Do you want me to look at those beautiful pictures
The most hateful thing is that you have to write down your after-view and experience. Otherwise, even if you learn a partial school, you will not pass the test. Is this so sick
When I learn how to cook roast chicken, I need to know how the chicken came from? I have to study first whether the chicken or the egg came first, and then let me learn
But there is no way, because when you are in the competition, you will be tested. If you don't pass the theory, you don't even have the qualifications to concoct alchemy. Long Chen can only bite the bullet.
In ten days, Long Chen almost vomited. Even with Long Chen's terrifying soul power, remembering these things made him feel dizzy.
The most uncomfortable thing for Long Chen is that some theories are simply wrong, but Long Chen still has to memorize them by rote, and he has to follow the mistakes.
Because the standards of the assessment are based on these things, only by answering, the things inside can be counted correctly. This is the first time that Long Chen has learned the "knowledge" of alchemy so painfully.
Ten days later, Zhao Xiang released Long Chen from the secret room, and there was a trace of worry in Zhao Xiang's eyes.
In general, Dan Xiu, in two months, can remember these theoretical things, it is already very good, and Long Chen only has ten days, it is indeed difficult for a strong man.
After all, he is now responsible for everything about Long Chen, and he shares weal and woe with Long Chen, Zhao Xiang said: "How is it?"
"It's okay, I basically remembered everything, there should be no problem." Long Chen rubbed his slightly tired face, and he also fought for the second part of the Great Brahma Scripture.
"That's good, don't put too much pressure on your heart, even if you can't pass this time, you will definitely pass next time." Zhao Xiang comforted.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xiang took Long Chen and went straight to a building behind Dan Lisi. When he entered the building, Long Chen found that there was already a black figure inside.
"Long San?"
Long Chen just came in, and suddenly there was a voice full of surprise. (To be continued)
