Chapter 469 Nanke Menghuo. (The Third Update! Please Subscribe!)
The identity check was quick, and Lu Zhitai found nothing wrong, so he called his subordinates and led the alchemist from Meiyang County to the Xincui Hall.
This pavilion is some distance away from the teleportation array.
However, on the side of the teleportation formation, in order to welcome the alchemists from all over the world, a carriage drawn by strange animals has already been prepared. There are space magic in the carriage. It looks like a small carriage, but there is a special world inside, just like a large hall.
After getting in the car, the strange beast did not move immediately, but stood there sniffing and waiting.
After a while, I felt the ground tremble slightly, and then there seemed to be a thunderstorm. A row of knights covered their bodies with hideous ghost faces covering their faces, driving the strange beasts under their crotches, and rushed to the side of the carriage. It can be heard that in the middle of the needle, the leading knight clasped his fists into the carriage and saluted: "The last general, He Lu, is ordered to escort all the alchemists to the Xincui hall."
Next, the carriage drove slowly under the escort of the knights.
These knights surrounded the carriage airtightly. Zhou Miaoli raised a corner of the curtain on the way, as if wanting to look at the scenery of Lujing, but when he looked out, he saw the firm and cold figures of the knights.
She shook her head slightly and lowered the curtain.
After a while, the carriage pulled into a pavilion and stopped at the open space in front of the main hall.
The leading knight turned his mount and said in a deep voice to the side of the car: "Every alchemist, the Xincui Hall has arrived, please get off the car and enter the hall."
According to his instructions, everyone got out of the carriage and entered the main hall not far away to register.
And here, their identities were checked again, and after confirming that they were correct, a jade plaque was issued to everyone according to their ranking: "The residences of all alchemists have already been prepared."
"Next, Hetong will guide you all."
"As for the exam questions, they are already in the room, and you can see them when you enter."
Pei Ling was startled when she heard the words, but Ye Manyue also asked in surprise: "Is the palace test starting now?"
"That's right." The monk in charge of the registration replied calmly. At the beginning of the alchemy ceremony, the palace examination was conducted after the interview with the saint, and the emperor personally presided over the questions in front of the palace.
But later, more and more alchemy ceremonies were held, and more and more alchemists participated.
Even after being eliminated in the three rounds of audition, government examination, and county examination, there are still not a few alchemists who have passed the palace examination.
And because of the participation of foreign casual cultivators, these people can't help being a mixed bag. Even in front of the imperial court, many casual cultivators who are used to wanton behavior often behave rudely, causing some disturbances.
Therefore, a long time ago, the palace examination was changed to a larger venue, and the emperor no longer came to the venue in person, but everyone was used to the name of this examination, and it has not been changed.
All alchemists are also very clear about this point, no one questioned the venue at the moment.
only……
Xun Wuyang immediately frowned and asked, "But I don't know how long it takes to answer the question?"
"Within ten days." The monk said, "During this period, you can come and go freely, and you are allowed to discuss with each other. In addition, in the Xincui Pavilion, there is a Dan building, which reproduces many alchemy classics in the Royal Library Pavilion, and There is also a Herb Village behind the museum, where medicinal materials are planted all over the village, and with the jade badge, you can enter and pick them at any time."
"However, there is a certain amount of medicinal materials to be picked. The leader of the county test is worth 1,000 middle-grade spirit stones, the second place is halved, the third is half, and the lower ones are even less..."
"If you exceed the part, you will need to pay for spirit stones or resources."
"In short, the main constraints of this palace exam are first, not to leave the scope of Xincui Pavilion; second, it is strictly forbidden to treat companions in ways such as threats and intimidation; third, everyone's exam questions are different, and exam questions are not allowed to be exchanged."
"There are no other means."
Hearing this, Pei Ling couldn't help but frown. After the teleportation came, he went directly to the palace test. How would he leave next?
To be eliminated on purpose?
This method is not impossible, but the rules give ten days, if he says no at the beginning, it is estimated that he will wait for ten days...
The faces of the others were not good-looking either.
The alchemists are allowed to communicate with each other, and the alchemy building and Baicaozhuang are also prepared... Not surprisingly, the exam questions for this palace exam must be very difficult!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to give such loose conditions!
As if seeing everyone's perseverance, the monk in charge of registration smiled and said: "Because the rules of this palace examination have been changed, the rewards have also been adjusted."
"Just talking about the top three, Dynasty has prepared a ground-level exercise in the secret library, a sixth-grade alchemy furnace, and a seventh-grade alchemy fire for alchemists to choose according to their rankings."
"There is no need to talk too much about the value of the ground-level exercises."
"The sixth-grade alchemy furnace is not a finished product, but after the alchemist decides the ranking, Master Chong Zhi will make it, and tailor it according to the specific requirements of the alchemist!"
"It must be known that although Master Chongzhi has occasionally released works in recent years, he has not accepted custom-made work for many years."
"This time, the imperial court came out and promised many benefits, which convinced him to make an exception."
"Master Chongzhi's level of skill in forging pill furnaces must be familiar to all of you."
"Let alone build it according to the alchemist's specific requirements?"
"As for the seventh-grade pill fire...have you heard of Nanke Menghuo?"
"Nanke Menghuo?" Hearing this, Xun Wuyang and Nangong Su exclaimed together. Seeing that the others hadn't reacted yet, Nangong Su took the lead in explaining, "This is the leader of the seventh-rank spiritual fire in my Panya Realm. No one! It has miraculous effects in purifying medicinal materials and condensing pill liquid."
"Moreover, its purification effect is also effective for monks who form alchemy!"
"If you can get this fire during the foundation building period, when you form the alchemy, the grade can be improved from the original foundation!"
Pill fire that can improve the grade of pill formation?
Pei Ling was still thinking about how to escape from the Xincui Pavilion just now, and changed his identity to flee far away, but he was startled when he heard this.
After reacting, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
There is no rush to escape from the dynasty, anyway, there is no way to leave for the time being... Get the free pill fire first!
Not only was he moved, but others were also attracted by the prizes. For a while, their worries about the difficulty of the exam questions dropped a lot.
Soon, the monk in charge of registration called a group of crane boys and took them to their respective residences.
The so-called Crane Boy is actually the demonized form of Crane.
From the outside, they seem to be handsome boys of seven or eight years old, all of them are born with pink make-up and bright eyes, wearing loose gowns with white background and black edges, and small red crowns on their heads.
If you look carefully, you will find that behind their ears, there are clusters of snow-white feathers, which shows their identity as a foreign race.
After leaving the main hall, under the leadership of the He Tongs, the fifteen alchemists from Meiyang County were quickly dispersed into the lush trees in the Xincui Pavilion.
Pei Ling was led through numerous branches, courtyards, pavilions, and swamps, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard adjacent to a stream.
He Tong, who was leading the way, reminded him crisply: "This alchemist, you can enter after you take out the jade tablet."
He took out the jade tablet as he said, and saw a foot-wide formation suddenly appear on the seemingly old gate of the small courtyard. The light flickered, and when it passed the jade tablet, it emitted a burst of dazzling light. Immediately, the courtyard door was silent Open without interest.
He Tong said: "Drinking and water will be delivered to the door every day. If the alchemist has any requirements, he can also order them at any time."
While speaking, it suddenly lost its human body, and quickly transformed into a red-crowned crane as tall as a man. It quickly flapped its wings and flew up to a tall branch not far away.
Pei Ling cupped her hands and said, "Thank you."
Only then did he enter the small courtyard.
The courtyard occupies a large area, and an octagonal pavilion is built on the left hand side, surrounded by more than a dozen kinds of exotic flowers and plants outside the pavilion. On the right side is a lotus pond of about half an acre, with fields of flowers and leaves in the middle, fish and shrimps playing in a relaxed manner.
After looking at it for a while, he walked through the courtyard and walked into the main hall of the small building.
Just after opening the door of the main hall, the system prompt sounded in my ears: "Ding dong! An unfamiliar prescription has been detected, and the system is recording it for you..."
He couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously glanced at the main hall in front of him.
I saw a floor-to-ceiling screen painted with a hundred beasts holding medicine in front of me. After turning the screen, there was a hall covered with azurite ground with entangled branches and lotus patterns. Ivory hanging screens were placed behind the main seat, and plum vases half a person's height were placed on the left and right. , interpolated several phoenix tail feathers. Those tail feathers are radiant and beautiful.
Moreover, there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, which seemed to have the ability to ward off dust, water and fire.
Under the main seat, there are two rows of seats facing each other, and the green bead bowls are beautifully furnished. On the left and right sides of the main hall, there is a hollowed-out Moon Cave Gate with Baibaoge. At this moment, there are occasional artifacts placed in the grid. The Moon Cave Door is blocked by a bead curtain made of pearls the size of a thumb, so that people cannot see clearly what is going on inside.
On the small table next to the main seat, there is a piece of animal skin with a simple atmosphere that is incompatible with the surrounding environment.
