Immortality, starting from the heaven and earth

Red walls and green tiles, the sun is just right.

A small bird came from nowhere, landed on the eaves and searched around, then spread its wings and flew away.

In the hall, Han Wu, the person in charge of Danningfang City, sat at the head.

Beside him, there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator wearing a blue gown, looking at the white scroll unfolded in his hand, and reciting aloud.

"Second place, Guo Zizhen, with a total of 2920 alchemy points."

"The seventh place, Lin Yi, with a total of 2750 alchemy points."

"Ninth place, Shu Jun, with a total of 2478 alchemy points."

"Congratulations to the three juniors, you have successfully advanced to the next stage of the Alchemy Conference."

The total points of alchemy here do not refer to the results of this month, but the results since the establishment of Danningfang City until now.

As soon as these words came out, some of the people standing in the hall let out a breath of foul air slowly, as if a big stone fell from their hearts.

However, more of those who lost the election looked disappointed and disbelieving.

Among them, even if Shu Jun was dissatisfied with Lin Yi before, Shu Jun, who was lucky enough to be promoted now, couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when he looked at Lin Yi.

He originally thought that the 50 points a month ago would become the key points to separate each other.

Therefore, since this period of time, he has been practicing alchemy almost every day and night, in order to make up for the gap that it may bring.

But now it seems that he was very wrong.

In the eyes of the disciples, in addition to having a good reputation, this person is not at all urgent when it comes to alchemy.

Even Lin Yi, who seemed a little lazy, had unknowingly refined so many pills.

"An average of 13 Yanyuan pills per day. How did he do it? Doesn't he need to practice?"

Shu Jun was a little puzzled.

"If you have Xuanyang Earth Fire, you can also do this, but it's a pity that you don't have it."

Facing everyone's eyes, Ji Dong didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

However, when he looked at Guo Zizhen on the side, he muttered for no reason.

"I have the help of Xuanyang Earth Fire, so I am much faster in alchemy than ordinary people, how did he do it?

Could it be that this direct disciple of the master of the Danyuan Palace also has a spiritual fire in his body, maybe it is. "

Ji Dong secretly thought in his heart.

At this moment, after seeing the mood of the disciples participating in the alchemy conference calm down, Han Wu slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

"According to the rules of the alchemy conference, there will be rewards every time you clear the level. However, due to the special situation this year, the rewards this time have also changed."

Speaking of this, Han Wu waved his big hand, and saw three objects glowing with Ye Ye's precious light, placed on the table.

Count from left to right.

The first one is a golden talisman lying in a brocade box, with complicated runes engraved on it.

Even Ji Dong couldn't help but feel a burst of dazzling light when he glanced at it, accompanied by a faint tingling pain.

The second piece is a crimson, palm-sized small sword, which looks somewhat similar to the Yan Yuan Sword.

However, compared to the Yan Yuan Sword, at first glance, this object looks like a finished product, but upon closer inspection, it feels faintly not completely finished.

But even so, with his attainments in the way of the sword, Ji Dong also felt a sharp and sharp aura from the sword.

The third piece is an octagonal shield in black and yellow.

Although, from the appearance point of view, it is difficult to find something special compared to the first two for a while.

However, the tortoise pattern emerging from the front of the shield looks orderly and good, and has a sense of being lost and solid.

"These three items are extraordinary."

After careful scrutiny, Lin Yi thought to himself, a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.

"These three items are the Golden Dragon Talisman, which can exert the power of the late stage of foundation establishment, the second-tier top-grade magic weapon, the Yanguang Huoyuan Sword, and the second-tier top-grade Guiyuan Lost Trace Shield."

Looking at the fiery eyes of the group of Foundation Establishment disciples, Han Wu, who had always seemed indifferent, also showed a smile at this moment.

"In order to show fairness, the use of these three items can only be known during the sacrifice after you have obtained them.

Guo Zizhen, you are the number one in Danningfang City, and you can be regarded as winning a face for me, so you choose one of these three items first. "

"yes."

Hearing these words, Guo Zizhen stepped forward, without much consideration, but picked up the Golden Dragon Talisman after sweeping his eyes.

"Guo Zizhen, thank you Master Han for rewarding the sect."

Seeing Guo Zizhen, who was neither arrogant nor tired even after winning the first place, Han Wu was very satisfied with his performance.

"Jin Yi, as the second place in Danningfang City, you will be the first to choose next."

"Yes, Uncle Han."

Hearing these words, Lin Yi saluted respectfully, and then came to the sword and shield.

Almost instinctively, Ji Dong stretched out his palm towards Guiyuan Mizong Shield.

After all, with a top-tier second-tier defensive magic weapon in hand, even against a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment, it can barely resist one or two.

However, when Ji Dong's eyes fell on the flaming fire sword, he did not know what he thought of, and changed his direction again.

"The best defense is offense, take a gamble."

Thinking of this, Ji Dong took the Yanguang Huoyuan sword in his hand.

He thought very simple.

In addition to the awkward feeling of previous observations, the most important thing is that he thought of Guo Zizhen's actions just now.

It is not ruled out that Guo Zi, as the disciple of the master of the Danyuan Hall, really does not lack the best defensive magic weapon, but no one would dislike such a life-saving thing.

At least, Ji Dong thought so.

In this way, his behavior of directly choosing the Golden Dragon Talisman is somewhat suspicious.

After all, judging from Han Wu's introduction, the Golden Dragon Talisman seems to have the strongest attack, but it is actually not cost-effective.

As soon as the sword was in his hand, what Ji Yi immediately conveyed was not coldness, but a warm feeling like running water.

"This feeling, as if what you hold in your hand is not a dead thing."

Thinking of this, Ji Dong's eyes moved, and he subconsciously looked at Han Wu.

It's a pity that the latter's expression didn't show any waves, which didn't make him see anything.

"Disciple Lin Yi, thank you, Uncle Han."

Carefully put the Yanguang Huoyuan Sword back into the storage bag, and with the intention of studying it after the meeting, Lin Yi bowed respectfully and returned to the original position.

At the same time, under Han Wu's gesture, Shu Jun took the Guiyuan Mizong Shield back into his arms with a satisfied face.

"As I said before, the rewards this time are different from the past because of the location.

Therefore, other disciples who have not advanced can receive three bottles of Heyuan Pill as a reward after they return to the sect.

In addition, the merit points you have obtained, based on the current number of alchemy points, will be rewarded at ten to one. "

"Thank you, Uncle Han."

Hearing this, the other disciples who did not receive additional rewards, although a little disappointed in their hearts, still bowed gratefully to Han Wu.

"The matter of the Alchemy Conference is finished, and the next thing is about the Longbei Mountain Range."

Having said that, Han Wu's face straightened.

"According to the investigation a few days ago, we found an undiscovered underground palace through the previous ruins near the leyline where the evil spirit erupted, but the area should be extremely large.

It is now basically confirmed that the real source of the evil spirit comes from this underground palace.

Because of the existence of this underground palace, the ground veins were eroded, which in turn led to the current situation of the Longbei Mountain Range.

In order to prevent the evil spirit from protracted, the sect decided to send you and other disciples in the foundation establishment period to explore inside, and have further ascertained the specific situation.

Now, if you have any questions, you can ask them. "

"Uncle Han, we are all disciples who are good at alchemy, and most of them are at the early stage of alchemy.

Even if it is to explore the underground palace, senior brothers in the later stage of foundation establishment should be sent there. Could it be that the underground palace has changed? "

Seeing Han Wu's gaze, Guo Zi sighed sincerely and asked.

"That's a good question, the reason why I sent you is not to send the monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment directly.

The reason for this is that there is some kind of strange restriction in the Yin Palace.

Due to the existence of this restriction, currently only monks below the middle stage of foundation establishment can enter.

In addition, there were also disciples from the Qi training period who stepped inside accompanied by disciples from the foundation establishment period, which is just a pity."

Having said that, Han Wu said helplessly after a pause.

"The yin and evil energy in the yin palace is too strong, even a disciple who has perfected his qi training, after taking the Yanyang pill, he still cannot resist the yin and cold energy in it.

Only foundation-building disciples with innate true fire can stay inside for a long time. After our preliminary tests, disciples at the early stage of foundation-building can stay inside for three days.

As for the disciples in the middle and late foundation establishment stages, although they can also enter, under the oppression of the prohibition, not only will their cultivation be suppressed, but they will also encounter more erosion from evil spirits.

This is why the disciples in the early stage of foundation establishment should be sent in first. "

"Uncle Han, since this is the case, doesn't the sect have a way to lift the restriction, so that the upper limit of the person who enters can be raised?"

Ji Dong thought about the magic weapon he had just obtained, and guessed that there was a high probability that he would not be able to escape, so he asked further.

"Although the restriction of the underground palace is responsible, if it is broken, it can still be broken, but it will take a lot of time.

And just a few days before I presented the awards to you, the other two major sects, as well as some small nearby sects, have sent people here. "

Having said that, Han Wu's expression gradually became serious.

"I think you should also know that under the erosion of the evil spirit, the spiritual plants in the Longbei Mountains undergo a strange transformation, which greatly increases the power of the original soul.

If it's just that, with my Danxia Sect's background, I can let those casual cultivators or small sects go in and explore the way first.

However, according to the data of the underground palace that the elders in the door have explored so far, the age of this underground palace is extremely long.

This palace was most likely built three thousand years ago, and at that time, my Danxia Sect had not officially established a sect. "
