Chapter 1721 Zhurong Stone Chamber
Li Yan's consciousness immediately sank into the jade slip. After only seven or eight breaths, when Li Yan withdrew his consciousness, his face turned into a look of surprise.
After another moment, it turned into a look of surprise.
"It's true that the tree has more shade, and it's good to lean on the big tree to enjoy the shade!"
This jade slip was left to him by Uncle Ningke.
What it said was also very simple, that is, when Li Yan saw this jade slip again, it meant that he was at least an alchemist, and his cultivation was also good.
Therefore, the powerful person in the fusion realm of Huangqi Valley behind him would arrange for him to participate in the internal selection of core elite disciples. If he succeeded, he would become a core elite disciple.
That's all the content. Li Yan combined with the words of the white and thin young man just now, and he had guessed the cause and effect.
Uncle Ningke didn't just bring him here and ignore him, but had already made follow-up arrangements.
But the premise of all this still depends on whether he can do it, at least he must be able to stand firm, and he must also have the ability to become an alchemist.
After all, even if that fusion-level cultivator took action, he couldn't directly arrange for me to become a core elite disciple right after I came in.
If she did that, it would be against the sect rules, and it would also make her difficult to move forward because of jealousy.
The thin and fair young man could come directly to the door, and the other party knew that I lived here, and was sure that I didn't go out.
This shows that he has been observing me in secret for these years, so there is no need to ask me anything, just tell me what I want to say.
In addition, I became a yellow-level alchemist half a year ago, but the other party didn't come immediately.
In addition to the fact that the other party wanted to observe for a while after confirmation, it is probably waiting for the "internal selection" time mentioned in the jade slip.
As for why a proud person like the thin and fair young man came in person instead of handing it over to others, it is easier to explain.
First, I know the other party, so there is no need to explain the reason.
Second, I haven't heard of the "internal selection" thing. It should be a secret thing that can only be known after reaching a certain level in the sect.
Therefore, the strong man in the fusion realm would not let others do it, but let his disciple go on the road in person.
The last sentence of the fair and thin young man clearly told Li Yan that they had repaid the favor and there would be no more connection in the future.
If Li Yan wanted to see them again, he could only rely on his own ability. When Li Yan could have a certain status in the sect, he would naturally be qualified.
For the other party's attitude, it is natural for people with strong strength to be like this. There is nothing to say about it.
After Li Yan quickly sorted out the matter, he was already a little excited in his heart. He once again felt the feeling of being cared for.
Once upon a time, no matter what he wanted to do, he had to do it himself.
And those things that he could hardly do, but had to do, Li Yan racked his brains every time and wanted to exchange his life for opportunities.
Therefore, even if he entered Huangqi Valley through Uncle Ningke, in the subsequent process, Li Yan subconsciously turned back to his original self.
No matter what happens, he will not think about the elders of the sect, but just think about how to solve it?
Li Yan stood at the gate of the courtyard. After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and then it became thicker and thicker!
Finally, he swung his sleeves back, the gate closed, and the formation was activated. He had already soared into the sky and disappeared into the sky...
Half a minute later, Li Yan, who was flying in the sky, found that the various colors of light in the sky nearby gradually increased.
And many of them were flying in the same direction.
The place where Li Yan was going was called "Zhu Rong", which was where the disciples of the sect rented the alchemy room on weekdays.
When Li Yan flew to the place where "Zhu Rong" was, the light flashing in his flight had already been submerged in the colorful large area of light, making it seem very lively here.
The location of "Zhu Rong" was in the rear area of Huangqi Valley, below a huge floating mountain range. The floating mountain range above was the trading hall of Huangqi Valley.
This place is the most prosperous place in the sect on weekdays. Whether it is buying materials for alchemy and refining, or selling elixirs, magic weapons, and raw materials, they will gather here.
This makes too many cultivators come here every day to conduct various transactions, or rent alchemy rooms below.
Li Yan has been to the hall on the mountain before. It is very magnificent and huge. People can't walk through it in a few days.
The categories inside are very clear. Each area is huge. Even a certain category will occupy one or two floors of the hall.
Often after buying materials on the upper mountain, cultivators will go directly to the lower area to rent an alchemy and refining room.
There is a huge square below the mountain. Opposite the square, there are two large circular arches. One of the circular arches is always guarded by cultivators.
Behind the two arches, it is covered by a translucent formation that flashes with magnificent light. Under the formation, there are rows of exquisite stone chambers.
These stone chambers are arranged in an orderly manner, with different house numbers hanging on the doors. They are actually the rooms for refining alchemy and equipment.
One of the arches here only leads to the ground fire and supporting alchemy furnace below the third floor, which are all provided free of charge to the disciples of Qi Condensation and Foundation Building.
There is no one on duty there all year round. As long as your identity token is recognized by the formation, you can enter normally.
For the other circular arch, you must register at the arch. After paying the spirit stone, you will be issued a token to open a certain stone chamber before you can enter.
After Li Yan landed on the square, he walked towards one of the circular arches.
There was a long table there, and a young female cultivator was sitting behind the table. On both sides of the arch, there were five Yuanying-level guards.
At this time, there were only seven or eight people queuing in front of the arch, and the number of people was not large. After all, more people came here to go to the upper mountain peak.
The alchemy room below is rented. Unless it is not necessary, everyone will try to choose to make alchemy and refine equipment in their own courtyard. Who wants to waste precious spirit stones.
Li Yan queued up at the back and waited for about a hundred breaths before he stood in front of the long table.
"What level of stone chamber do you want to rent?"
The female cultivator behind the long table looked up and looked at Li Yan with a pair of big eyes.
This person has a pink baby face, looks very cute, and has only the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
She held a jade slip in her hand, ready to register at any time. The cultivators on duty here are all Nascent Soul cultivators.
This kind of immortal-like existence who can call the wind and rain in the lower world has to take the task of rotating in such a large sect.
Of course, this kind of task also has corresponding spiritual stones or sect contribution points.
This female cultivator has long seen Li Yan's cultivation, but there is no politeness in her words.
She is here on behalf of the sect. If she sees anyone with a high cultivation here, she will stand up and bow. If she does that, she will be exhausted after a day.
Li Yan did not speak, but handed over the ring with a smile on his face.
"Oh, you are here to participate in the internal selection!"
Behind the long table, the lovely-looking female cultivator looked at Li Yan again after seeing the ring.
While she was talking, although she knew the purpose of Li Yan's visit, she still took the ring and carefully examined it.
Li Yan stood there and waited patiently. After the female cultivator checked for fifty or sixty breaths, she withdrew her consciousness.
She reached out and returned the ring to Li Yan, and said to him at the same time.
"After you go in, turn left and find the third staircase leading to the upper level, and go all the way up.
About 20 miles away, there will be a stone room with a Bingwu sign hanging on it, and you can just enter it.
Don't wander around in other places. If you enter by mistake or knock on other stone rooms and disturb others who are refining pills and tools, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
After listening, Li Yan thanked him and walked straight into the round archway, then turned left...
After Li Yan's back disappeared, the Yuanying cultivator behind the long table retracted his gaze and muttered to himself.
"This person looks very unfamiliar. I have seen or heard of the people who came before.
Li Yan... Li... Yan, I have never heard of him. He must be arranged by a senior in the sect.
Otherwise, how can such an unknown person participate in such an internal selection..."
After thinking about it, the Yuanying cultivator quickly drove all these thoughts out of his mind.
It's okay to think about this kind of thing, but don't think too deeply, otherwise it will not be of any benefit to you.
After Li Yan entered the big formation in the archway, this was also his first time to enter this place, and rows of stone chambers stood in front of him.
Judging from the distance between the doors, each stone chamber is not small.
After he turned left and walked forward for fifty stone chambers, there appeared an upward stage, which was a road leading to the upper back row of stone chambers.
Of course, Li Yan continued to walk forward until he reached the third step, and then Li Yan climbed up.
And when he walked up, he found that each row of stone chambers was actually of different sizes. Some rows of stone chambers extended upward for only about two feet.
Some rows of stone chambers extended upward, but had a distance of more than ten feet, or even dozens of feet.
"No wonder it's about twenty miles up, some stone chambers are too big, who would rent such a stone chamber, why do you need such a big place?"
Li Yan walked forward, and when he found the Bingwu Stone Chamber, his doubts completely disappeared.
Because, when he entered the stone room, it was even bigger than he imagined, with nearly thirty people standing inside.
Dozens of people standing here did not seem crowded at all, and they were all dispersed. Li Yan estimated that the stone room was about four hundred feet long.
Li Yan also knew the function of this kind of stone room. It might be used for different assessments or competitions. Normal cultivators would not rent it at all.
There were about seventeen or eighteen Yuanying cultivators in the stone room, and the rest were all Shenhua cultivators.
There was a one-person-high platform on the back wall of the stone room, with tables and chairs placed on it, but no one was sitting there at this time.
On the walls on both sides of the stone door, a small door would appear every three feet or so, and at this moment, those small doors were tightly closed.
Li Yan glanced at it and was sure that it was almost the same as he thought.
"As expected, those who can be selected are all Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation monks. They should all be at the level of alchemists..."
I had never heard of the so-called internal selection in the years I had been asking about it, and the fair and thin young man even went there in person.
This is enough to show that after participating in the internal selection, you can enter the list of core elite disciples, which is a special way for Huang Qigu.
Only the alchemy masters and below are disciples. For example, the alchemists below Nascent Soul are most likely to be disciples trained by the Huangqigu sect and have been selected for a long time.
The remaining disciples are basically Nascent Soul and Alchemy Masters in the Soul Transformation Realm.
Even if these people are a special kind of existence, they either enter the sect halfway or have some problems with their qualifications.
If you want to be recommended into the core elite disciples, you should be a disciple who entered Huangqi Valley later, practiced alchemy late, but really has some talent in alchemy.
In the past, such people were not able to join such a large sect, so Huang Qigu could also be used as a late bloomer who was assessed or recommended as a disciple.
Anyway, immortal cultivators have a long lifespan, and such disciples can still be reused by the sect after passing the assessment.
There is another kind of person who has a background in Huangqi Valley and should be able to get a chance to come here.
After thinking about it before, Li Yan guessed the origin of the internally selected monks through his own reasons. He was recommended by others.
Then, with a quick glance, he saw the people in the stone room clearly, and a trace of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.
Because here, he saw two acquaintances, two young women dressed in white.
Under the white clothes, they all have undulating figures. Even the white clothes of Shengxue cannot stop their beautiful skin and beautiful skin.
Just from their appearance, one could tell that they were twin sisters. They were the same pair of Ming sisters that Li Yan met when he entered the inner valley for assessment.
Over the years, Li Yan has never seen these two people again since that time when the three of them flew to the dense forest where they lived and separated.
He was quite surprised to meet him here again today.
"I didn't expect them to come to participate in the internal selection. Are they talented in alchemy, or are they recommended by others like me?"
Li Yan couldn't help but think in his heart.
How did he know that these two sisters had done much better than him over the years, and that they were indeed much better than Li Yan in alchemy aptitude.
The medicine boy, who had long since become a powerful person in the sect due to his outstanding qualifications, naturally gained the favor of the other party.
And just when Li Yan entered the stone chamber, his figure reflected from the door also attracted the attention of others, and some people also turned their heads to look.
Then he saw an ordinary-looking young man in white clothes walking slowly in.
It's just that the white clothes on this person make him look a little out of place, and his skin color is darker.
"Sister, look it's that person!"
After Mingyu saw the person clearly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Li Yan's short black hair, like a steel needle, made him look a little different and eye-catching among these people.
"He actually came to participate in the internal selection. It seems that his alchemy qualifications are quite good..."
Ming Qi nodded.
They were quite impressed by this ordinary-looking young man. If it hadn't been for him, there might have been some problems during their assessment into the inner valley.
Although there is also a ranking list for the alchemy levels of the monks in Huangqi Valley, generally speaking, they only rank the top 100 for each alchemy level.
If those in the back want to be on the list, they can only rely on their own abilities to push those in front out of the list.
Therefore, everyone who can be on the list is undoubtedly a leader in the sect. Otherwise, how could he stand out among so many disciples?
In this way, as long as there are no special reasons, those people will most likely be core elite disciples.
Naturally, people like Ming Qi and others who still need to participate in the internal selection must have to work harder, and they will not be included in the rankings.
Under this situation, if you want to know the alchemy level of someone like Li Yan, you have to do a careful investigation.
And for some reason, Ming Qi and Ming Yu also secretly investigated Li Yan without his knowledge!
It's just that in the past few years, Cheng Kuanghan, who was looking for trouble, couldn't find Li Yan, and they also couldn't find any news about Li Yan.
Because they didn't expect that Li Yan didn't go out frequently, let alone that he would listen to the lowest level of introductory lectures.
After a while, they had no time to think about it. The purpose of the two coming here was to join the core elite disciples. Their own time was also not enough, so they slowly put the matter aside.
But here today, after suddenly seeing Li Yan appear again, the two women were surprised and immediately started to investigate the matter that they had failed to investigate.
