Chapter 329: Casting a God From Rotten Wood, Passing the Test
There are several reasons why Han Yi wants to participate in the Immortal Meeting of Immortality.
The most basic reason is that for him, this Immortal Meeting of Immortality is only transmitted between two immortal courts, so safety can be guaranteed.
The second point is that this Immortal Meeting is divided into different venues. The one he participated in is naturally the Nascent Soul venue. In the Nascent Soul realm, Han Yi believes that he is still strong. Even if he encounters a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, even if he loses, he can survive.
These two points are the premise of safety.
The third point is that he discovered a problem in the past ten years.
That is, if you want to practice steadily, you need to show your strength appropriately and have a certain reputation.
If you just hide blindly, you may be used as cannon fodder in the Immortal Mansion.
This Immortal Mansion is to cultivate immortals, not to let people hide. Whether it is the Immortal Road, the task, or the basic deduction of points, it is all for the purpose of creating more immortals.
This feeling was gained from an experience he had three years ago.
Three years ago, Han Yi had been refining pills steadily, and he only refined five kinds of pills, namely Tongwu Pill, Jinyang Pill, Shenghun Pill, Jiuding Pill, and Qingli Pill. His methods were also quite low-key, because although the tasks of Wanzhan Immortal Palace required the grade and success rate of the pills to be refined, they did not require the cultivators who took the tasks to be alchemists of a certain level.
Therefore, in order to deliberately keep a low profile, Han Yi had never been certified as an alchemist in the Immortal Art Palace.
But three years ago, an immortal king in the Immortal Court asked the Immortal Palace to recruit a group of cultivators. These cultivators were ordinary Yuanying cultivators who either had not been certified by the Immortal Art Palace, had not completed many outstanding tasks, or had no fame.
Then, he left the Immortal Court with this group of cultivators and disappeared.
The reason given to the outside world was that the immortal king had discovered a mysterious big cave in the void and summoned cultivators to open it up.
However, Han Yi had a good relationship with Gu Chuan of the Immortal Art Palace during these years. Gu Chuan knew Han Yi's alchemy level and hinted that Han Yi should complete the alchemist certification as soon as possible. Only then did he quickly complete the certification of the fourth-level alchemist and avoid being recruited.
Later, Han Yi deduced through other channels that the cultivators taken away by the Immortal Lord all had the same characteristic, that is, they were relatively ordinary. Of course, this was compared among the cultivators of the overall Immortal Palace. In the small immortal sects outside, they were all strong.
So far.
Han Yi tried his best to quickly improve his alchemy skills to the extreme, so that he could refine Danwen-level elixirs and quickly apply for the fifth-level alchemist.
Simply put.
In the Immortal Palace, if you are too cowardly, you will definitely die in the end. Only by showing your cultivation and skills appropriately can you be valued and safer.
This is different from the original Xuandan Sect.
For him.
Suizhu Immortal Palace is the thickest thigh in the immortal world. He made up his mind to take root here, so he adjusted his plan.
Alchemy was the first entry point he chose.
The Immortal Meeting of Immortals would be the second.
This was his recent plan.
This was not the third time Han Yi came to the Wanzhan Palace. He had come many times in the past ten years.
The Immortal Palace stipulated that tasks could only be received at the Wanzhan Palace.
He walked into the palace with a familiar way, skipping the many monks who were busy looking for a team, and went directly to the central area. He found an unused colorful spiritual pillar, placed the token on it, and the spiritual light cover emerged and the light curtain popped up.
Han Yi first clicked into the "task" and calculated the Qingli Dan, earning 80 points.
Then, he exited the "task", clicked into the "points", confirmed his current total points, and saw 1050 points, which was quite satisfactory.
In general, his points in the past ten years have not increased much. On the one hand, it is because Han Yi did not accept the mission of going out, but only accepted the task of refining pills. Moreover, he was only a third or fourth-level alchemist before, and his success rate and grade of pills were not high, so his ability to earn points was limited.
On the other hand, he used a lot of the points he saved in Xuanzang Palace to check the ancient books such as the General Record of Immortal Resources, Detailed Explanation of Powers, Gujie Origin Guess, and Secret of the Wisdom Realm.
These ten years are the ten years when Han Yi's understanding of the immortal world exploded.
Han Yi took a deep breath.
Today, he finally saved up a thousand points.
Click on the "Immortal Road", click on the "Nine-Layer Soul Tower" under the branch of the Immortal Road, and jump to the task interface again.
The task interface at this time is the task interface related to the "Nine-Layer Soul Tower" immortal road.
Han Yi's sight fell on one of them.
"Practice the Rotten Wood Casting Nerves to the ninth level."
Among the tasks related to the Immortal Road, this one is the one Han Yi values the most. It does not require going out, fighting, but stable practice, which is in line with Han Yi's development strategy.
Han Yi clicks on the "Receive" option to turn this task into his own Immortal Road task.
Of course, the Immortal Road task is not exclusive. Other cultivators who practice the secret art of the soul and thus embark on the Immortal Road can also choose this Immortal Road, just like the task of hunting the Gu tribe, which is also accepted by many cultivators.
But unlike hunting the Gu tribe, accepting this task means that you have to invest points first. Han Yi has already learned that the Rotten Wood Casting Nerves is a near-immortal-level skill, and the entire scripture is divided into twelve levels.
If you practice the twelve levels, you can go directly to the Immortal Road, but the difficulty is extremely high.
It can also be used as an auxiliary, and only the first nine levels need to be practiced. After the practice is completed, the soul wood cultivated in the first nine levels can be used as fuel. After it is ignited, it can be injected with the soul secret technique of one's own choice, so that it can be sublimated to the limit in a short period of time, so that a rapid breakthrough can be made, and a long distance can be covered on the road to immortality.
This is the effect of the rotten wood casting nerves.
Of course.
After completing this task, there are also points, but not many, just symbolic, because this is a cultivation task.
As for other outing tasks such as hunting the Gu tribe, you only need to invest combat power, and after completing them, you can receive points, and the points received are divided according to the difficulty of the task.
The reason why Han Yi chose to receive the task at this moment is that practicing this near-immortal technique requires a thousand points.
That's right.
Not a hundred, but a thousand.
According to rumors, this technique is a low-end version simplified by an immortal king in the Immortal Court based on the secret technique of the soul he practiced.
If there are really talented people, take this near-immortal technique as the basis, walk the immortal road, and pass the immortal tribulation. There are subsequent techniques in the Immortal Court for them to choose.
Han Yi didn't think that far for the time being. He only knew that practicing this technique meant opening the immortal road in a real sense, which was of great significance to him.
As for whether to use it as fuel to upgrade the Nine-Layer Soul Tower after practicing the ninth level, or to use it as the main material to upgrade to the twelfth level, we have to wait until after practicing.
After receiving the immortal road task of "Practicing Rotten Wood to Forge Nerves", Han Yi exited the "Immortal Road" interface, switched to "Tasks", and directly clicked to receive the tasks of refining Luotian Pills and Zhenying Pills through search.
Then.
He returned to the homepage of the task interface and looked at the task at the top.
"The Immortal Meeting of Immortality is about to start, click to sign up."
Han Yi had already thought about participating before, so he didn't need to think too much at this moment, and directly clicked to sign up. Then, a basic introduction to the Immortal Meeting of Immortality popped up.
Han Yi had already learned about these introductions in Xuanzang Palace, and what he learned was much more in-depth and comprehensive than this basic introduction.
After exiting the interface, Han Yi ended the light curtain, picked up the token, and left Wanzhan Immortal Palace.
Before leaving the Immortal Palace and preparing to leave, he suddenly paused and narrowed his eyes slightly because he saw an acquaintance.
In front of Han Yi, a cultivator who had just stepped out of the stream of light looked at Han Yi, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. The murderous intent was not concealed and rushed towards him. If it were not for the fact that cultivators were in the Immortal Palace and private fighting was strictly prohibited, the owner of this murderous intent would not hesitate to kill Han Yi here.
This cultivator was Yuan Qinghong, who Han Yi had formed a team to go to the Nine Thunder Immortal Realm twenty years ago to complete Fu Hongxi's legacy mission.
However.
Han Yi was not afraid of Yuan Qinghong's murderous intent, because he had killed this guy once twenty years ago. Although it was an incarnation that time, it was enough to make this guy feel distressed.
Although Han Yi was low-key, he was never afraid of challenges. These two aspects did not conflict.
Yuan Qinghong had a strong murderous intent and fierce eyes. He walked slowly towards Han Yi, but Han Yi, who was dozens of meters away, just looked at him calmly, and the spiritual light spread from his hands to his whole body. With a slight flash, he disappeared in front of the Wanzhan Palace.
Yuan Qinghong stood there, full of hatred. In the past twenty years, he had investigated Han Yi, but Han Yi did not return in the first ten years, and after Han Yi returned in the next ten years, he was quite low-key, and he had no news of Han Yi going out with a team.
However, he also found out that Han Yi often appeared in Xianyi Palace and Xuanzang Palace, and then he learned from a familiar deacon of Xianyi Palace that Han Yi took over the alchemy task of Xianyi Palace.
However.
That was six years ago. In the past few years, he had to put aside the grudge against Han Yi temporarily when he went out on missions. At this moment, he had just returned from completing the mission. This time, the completion rate of the mission was extremely high. He was in a very good mood, but when he saw Han Yi, he instantly turned gloomy and full of murderous intent.
Returning with Yuan Qinghong, a few meters away, stood another cultivator. This was a cultivator who looked like a teenager. In the world of cultivating immortals, among the Nascent Soul cultivators, this appearance was extremely rare.
Because most cultivators, when they are promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, are at least young or middle-aged. This youth or middle-aged does not refer to age, but to appearance.
The young cultivator looked at Han Yi who was teleported away with the token, and then looked back at Yuan Qinghong. The words he spoke were not immature, but hoarse like those of old cultivators of the same age.
"Yuan Daoyou, is this the Han Yi who killed your incarnation?"
"I think he is just ordinary, just a mere middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If he met me, he could be killed with a flip of his hand."
Yuan Qinghong was slightly stunned, and he immediately reacted: "Middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
"Damn, this guy actually promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
Just now, Yuan Qinghong burst into murderous intent, but he did not pay attention to Han Yi's realm. After the casual words of the young cultivator, he reacted and his face changed slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you must not be careless. Twenty years ago, Han Yi was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and he was still far from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He was able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator who was possessed by the Gu Clan and my incarnation. Now that he has been promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, even if he meets a late Nascent Soul cultivator, if he is careless, the outcome is unpredictable."
The cultivator who looked like a teenager, named Chu Zhi, was also a cultivator of the Immortal Palace. When he heard what Yuan Qinghong said, he sneered, but he was serious in his heart.
His appearance was frozen in a teenager because he practiced a special body refining technique. At the cost of freezing his appearance in a teenager, he gained powerful combat power. Although he was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, he could fight against the peak Nascent Soul cultivators. However, after more than 500 years of practice, he was no longer old enough to casually despise low-level cultivators.
This Han Yi, who was able to kill Yuan Qinghong, who had many spiritual treasures, in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, might not be much weaker than himself when he reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Chu Zhi sneered, but he had already memorized Han Yi's appearance and breath in his heart.
On the other side.
Han Yi was not afraid to face Yuan Qinghong, but felt that there was nothing good to say between the two sides. The deadly feud was over, and Yuan Qinghong was waiting for an opportunity, but he didn't know that the opportunity was also Han Yi's chance to kill him.
Moreover, Han Yi believed that he would never give Yuan Qinghong more time to prepare. He was as cautious as ever. For example, he used the ability of changing his shape in the Xianfang Palace to disguise his breath and appearance. Even his name was "Wang Lin" used in the Yuheng Realm. No one in the Xianfu knew that he often went in and out of the Xianfang Palace.
Han Yi, who was teleported away, was located in Xuanzang Palace this time.
He came here to exchange for the rotten wood casting nerve.
Xuanzang Palace has a total of ninety-nine floors. Here, there are not only various records and introductions, but also skills, techniques, magical powers, etc.
These skills, magical powers, and techniques are often used as the task factors of the immortal road and are practiced by the immortal palace monks.
These techniques and magical skills are not on the first floor, but on the sixth floor. Han Yi went to the sixth floor and found the technique jade butterfly on a bookshelf grid according to the index.
Insert the token into the jade slot in front of the grid. In an instant, a small light curtain popped out, prompting whether to spend a thousand points to learn the first nine levels of the rotten wood casting nerve.
Han Yi nodded yes, and then, with a flash of inspiration, the spiritual light cover in front of the jade butterfly automatically dissipated, and Han Yi took the jade butterfly down.
Then, the token inserted in the jade slot automatically popped up, and he also took the token in his hand.
Once the jade butterflies of the techniques, magical skills, etc. in Xuanzang Palace are exchanged, they belong to the monks, and the immortal palace deacons will add new jade butterflies to the grid.
Of course.
Although the Jade Butterfly is not disposable, the cultivator who obtains the Jade Butterfly must take a Heavenly Oath before comprehending the Jade Butterfly, not to spread it outside. Once it is spread outside, not only will the Immortal Palace reclaim it, but even the cultivator will be punished. In serious cases, the life core will be stripped, the soul will be eliminated, and the reincarnation will be cut off.
Han Yi naturally had no such plan.
After leaving the Xuanzang Palace, Han Yi teleported back to the Immortal Palace No. 826, entered the main hall, and his consciousness poured into the Jade Butterfly. After taking the Heavenly Oath as usual, he began to learn the general outline of the Rotten Wood Casting Nerve.
The general outline was long and about 3,000 words, obscure and difficult to understand. Han Yi memorized it, and then called up the panel, but found that the panel only displayed one:
[Rotten Wood Casting Nerve (General Outline)].
There was no progress or level.
Han Yi was patient and continued to read the skills in the Jade Butterfly. He memorized all the nine levels of the Jade Butterfly in his heart. The skills of these nine levels were very detailed, with about 100,000 words.
When he looked at the panel again, he found that there were new changes.
[Rotten Wood Casting Nerves (A Glimpse of the Door 1/100)].
The panel did not show which level it was, but when Han Yi sensed this technique, he naturally knew that it was at the first level. When the progress of this technique reached a higher level, he should also know which level it was at after sensing it.
However.
The technique he got was not the full twelve levels, but only nine levels. I just don’t know if the panel can be directly completed after practicing to the ninth level, just like other skills?
Han Yi looked forward to this.
Next, he put the jade butterfly into the Qiankun Ring, and did not continue to practice this special auxiliary soul technique, but took out the Nine Palace Furnace and began to refine pills.
Even if he improved the progress of alchemy a little, he would have a greater chance of passing the assessment of the fifth-level alchemist in three days.
Han Yi was not careless. According to Gu Chuan, he would have to face the assessment of a second-grade immortal envoy and three first-grade immortal envoys. In the Immortal Palace, the immortal envoys all came from the Zhengfa Immortal Palace. The first-grade immortal envoys needed to be semi-immortal-level strength, while the second-grade immortal envoys were more directly immortals.
To be honest, Han Yi was still very nervous when he had to face the gaze of immortals for the first time.
In addition to the alchemy skills, what he was most worried about was the silver-eyed intelligent puppet that was still sleeping in his body space.
Han Yi had no chance to wake up the intelligent puppet when he was in the crisis of the Gu Clan's mother nest. Later, after arriving at the Immortal Palace, Han Yi tried to wake her up in the Immortal Palace, but found that although the silver-eyed intelligent puppet was at the edge of his body space, Han Yi, in the Nascent Soul state, could not do anything to her.
It was as if the intelligent puppet had set a timer, and no matter how he called it, it could not be turned on before the time came.
Even if Han Yi tried to attack the smart puppet with the Soul Burial Knife, it was shattered directly after the Soul Burial Knife was chopped down.
He tried many ways, but in the end, there was no effect at all, so he could only let it go.
But three days later, Han Yi would have to face the immortal. At that time, he didn't know whether the immortal could see the abnormality of the space in his body with his strength. If he was seen, not only the smart puppet, but also he would be in trouble.
This is the immortal palace in the immortal court. Once the smart puppet wakes up and leaks its breath, not to mention the power of the Taoist Ancestor, even the immortal king and the immortal lord will not be able to escape, let alone turn the world upside down.
This is what Han Yi is most worried about.
As for the fifth-level alchemist, even if he fails after three days, the immortal palace stipulates that he can submit an alchemist level assessment once a year, and the worst case scenario is to wait until next year.
Time flies, and three days have passed.
Han Yi arrived at the Immortal Art Palace with a nervous mood, and was led into a side hall by Gu Chuan and another spiritual cultivator and fifth-level alchemist named Cang Shaoyuan.
When leading Han Yi to this assessment side hall, Cang Shaoyuan introduced to Han Yi the key points he should pay attention to when assessing the fifth-level alchemist. Han Yi could see that this spiritual cultivator wanted to make friends with him.
And he naturally accepted the favor.
A moment later, four cultivators arrived one after another, including three third-level immortal envoys and one second-level immortal envoy.
However.
What made Han Yi feel lucky was that these four immortal envoys did not explore Han Yi's internal space, or they may have explored it without Han Yi's knowledge, but did not notice the existence of the intelligent puppet.
Han Yi followed Cang Shaoyuan's previous friendly tips and began to refine the elixir according to the steps. He naturally refined the high-grade Jindan Yang, which he was more proficient in.
In the alchemist assessment, each alchemist has five opportunities to refine the elixir. As long as one furnace of the corresponding elixir is successful, it is considered to have passed the assessment.
Han Yi took a deep breath and began to refine. Although the first two furnaces were only perfect-grade pills, they also made his condition better and better. Finally, in the third furnace, he successfully refined the Danwen-level Jinyang Pill.
The second-grade immortal envoy nodded, which was considered to be a conclusion of this test.
Then, the four immortal envoys left one by one. Han Yi packed up and returned to the palace from the side hall.
Cang Shaoyuan saw Han Yi coming out and his nose twitched. He smelled the Danwen-level Dan Qi on Han Yi's body. Moreover, according to his calculation, at this time, he should not have finished refining five furnaces. In this way, he knew the result immediately after inference.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Han, for being promoted to a fifth-level alchemist."
Cang Shaoyuan congratulated with a smile.
Han Yi bowed his hands to thank him. This person is not only a fifth-level alchemist, but also a spiritual cultivator. Respect is naturally necessary.
"I have to thank Senior Brother Cang for his previous guidance."
"Han Yi will remember this favor."
Cang Shaoyuan smiled even more when he heard this.
