Chapter 167 Xiao Yi Shao

On the back of the mountainside of Qinghuo Peak, Xiao Lin was walking on a long winding path. The path was only a foot wide, and below was a bottomless cliff.

If an ordinary person walked on this path, he would probably be scared to the point of his legs and feet being sore after just one look at the cliff below.

But for Xiao Lin, this phenomenon naturally did not exist. He was walking on flat ground, and every time he flew up, he was several feet away. From time to time, he heard the clear chirping of the spiritual birds in the mountains, which made Xiao Lin feel refreshed.

The unpleasant experience in the Dan Pavilion was gradually forgotten by him. Xiao Lin naturally knew that the Dan Pavilion disciple was just making things difficult for him. Before entering the alchemy room, the man's hint to him was very obvious.

The reason why he did not check Xiao Lin's storage bag before the test was to hint that Xiao Lin could use the existing Yunling Pill to complete the test, but after he finished refining the pill, he had to check his storage bag again.

This approach is very obvious. Once Xiao Lin really uses the existing Soul-Enriching Pill to complete the test, the two materials will definitely be kept in the bag. Xiao Lin will be caught red-handed and will not even have a chance to quibble.

Once such a situation occurs, there are only two results for Xiao Lin. One is that he will bleed heavily and deal with the outer disciple on duty in the Dan Pavilion, and the other is that he will be completely and permanently disqualified from the Dan Pavilion test.

The former is fine, but if it is the latter, he will really be in tears. This makes Xiao Lin want to kill the outer disciple on duty in the Dan Pavilion, but he also knows that it is strictly forbidden for disciples to fight each other in the sect.

Xiao Lin will naturally not do such a stupid thing, and when the man found that Xiao Lin did not follow his suggestion, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​blackmailing Xiao Lin.

Through this incident, Xiao Lin also understood that the sect was not without ripples. Under this calm surface, there were also undercurrents. If that person did not know that he was a new cultivator who had just joined the sect, he might not dare to be so blatant.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin had already seen the upside-down mountain at the end of the stone path. When he first came to the sect, Xiao Lin and others did not see the scenery on the upside-down mountain because of the distance.

But now, he clearly saw the scenery on the upside-down mountain at the end of the stone path, but only about ten feet in the air. The upside-down mountain was very flat.

Except for a small stone hall on the left and a row of more than a dozen stone chambers behind, the entire mountain was cut into pieces of spiritual fields.

Xiao Lin saw that there were a large number of spiritual herbs and flowers growing on the spiritual fields, the most of which was the spiritual mist grass, and these spiritual mist grasses were divided into dozens of pieces. The years of the spiritual mist grass growing on each piece of spiritual field were obviously different.

Moreover, in the center of these spiritual fields, Xiao Lin also saw dozens of five-element spiritual herbs growing, which made his eyes light up and his face showed surprise.

This spiritual field is just an ordinary spiritual field, but it has already planted a lot of five-element spiritual herbs. It seems that Dancao Mountain is indeed worthy of being the first alchemy sect of the immortal way, which is famous for alchemy.

The cultivation technique of this spiritual medicine alone is probably better than the other four major sects.

On these divided spiritual fields, there are all kinds of spiritual light restrictions flashing. Just feeling the huge spiritual pressure on those spiritual light restrictions makes Xiao Lin very frightened.

Xiao Lin came to the end of the stone path, looked at the stone hall opposite, and shouted respectfully: "Disciple Xiao Lin, I am here to take up the post of alchemy boy."

The voice passed through the restriction and entered the stone hall. After a while, a man walked out of the stone hall. This man looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate eyebrows and eyes. He was only five feet tall, half a head shorter than Xiao Lin. He was so handsome, but he was bald.

He looked at Xiao Lin and asked with a smile on his face: "Junior brother, do you have the alchemy boy token?"

Being called junior brother by this person made Xiao Lin quite uncomfortable, but after sensing the breath of the great perfection of Qi Refining on the man, Xiao Lin decisively put away his contempt.

The man in front of him seemed young, but his cultivation was not low. Moreover, in Xiao Lin's memory, it seemed that only Bai Shuangzhi and the white-robed woman with Tianlinggen had cultivated to the great perfection of Qi Refining at this age.

Xiao Lin took out the wooden token he got in the Alchemy Pavilion from his storage bag and threw it to the boy.

After receiving the token, the boy confirmed it, nodded, chanted an obscure spell, and after a while, gently touched the light blue spiritual light in front of him.

The spiritual light automatically split in the middle, revealing a door.

"Brother, come in."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin gently flew up, passed through the separated door, and landed in front of the boy.

"Greetings, senior brother, may I know your name?"

"Hehe, my name is Xiao Yishao, my fellow brothers like to call me Xiao Monk, but I'm not a real monk. My mother said that I will still marry a wife in the future. Oh, by the way, I just learned that you are also a casual cultivator, so there is no problem. Okay, come with me, I'll take you to the alchemy room."

Before Xiao Lin could speak, this Xiao Senior Brother started talking like a string of cannons, which made Xiao Lin smile. The little senior brother in front of him gave Xiao Lin a very amiable feeling.

After hearing this, Xiao Lin nodded with a smile and followed him into the stone hall.

The stone hall was very spacious. As soon as he entered the stone hall, Xiao Lin smelled the strong aroma of herbs. Looking around, he saw wooden shelves filled with various spiritual herbs.

And those rare spiritual herbs were all placed in jade boxes and neatly arranged.

"Now that my junior brother is here, I can finally have a few good days. You don't know that Uncle Tao is busy with cultivation, and the monthly sect alchemy task almost falls on me, my senior brother, which makes me miserable. I thought that I practiced alchemy just to be close to the water and swallow a few more spiritual pills to increase my cultivation, but I never thought that I would be in the deep sea of ​​alchemy and now I have become a coolie."

Xiao Yi Shao cried and complained to Xiao Lin. At the same time, his eyes were shining. The look he gave Xiao Lin seemed like a kind mother looking at her child in her arms, quite ambiguous.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but his previous restraint was mostly dissipated by Xiao Yishao's complaints, and Xiao Lin felt a little relieved.

Since entering the world of cultivation, Xiao Lin has been cautious and careful, only saying three points to everyone and not giving half of his heart to anyone. However, chatting with this Senior Brother Xiao made him less restrained and his mood inexplicably improved.

"Is there no one else in this stone hall?" After looking around, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that there seemed to be no one else here except Xiao Yishao, which surprised him a little.

"Hehe, do you think it's that easy to pass the test of the Alchemy Pavilion? Unless you are born with a talent for alchemy like me, and Uncle Tao has a rather strange personality, he only recruits alchemy boys from casual cultivators. For casual cultivators, you may not meet one who can make alchemy among a hundred, so it doesn't seem strange that there are only two of us here."

"Huh?" Xiao Lin was speechless for a moment after hearing this. What Xiao Yishao said was indeed right. Most casual cultivators were busy hunting monsters or earning spirit stones. How could they choose to make alchemy? You know, alchemy requires a huge amount of resources to support it. But he couldn't understand why Uncle Tao didn't like the children of the family. Could it be that she was also a casual cultivator?

"Those family members are different. Many of them have been trained in alchemy since childhood, so they have a lot of people, but it's useless to have too many. When it comes to alchemy talent, it doesn't necessarily depend on the number of people."

"Come, I'll take you to see our alchemy room." Xiao Yishao pulled Xiao Lin to the inner part of the stone hall, where there were more than a dozen stone doors lined up.

Xiao Yishao pointed to the larger stone door in the middle and said, "This alchemy room is used exclusively by Master Tao. We can't go in, otherwise she will find out and we will be punished. There are also powerful restrictions on it, and even this young master can't open it."

"As for the other alchemy rooms, we can choose them at will."

"Should Xiao Lin pay a visit to Master Tao first? After all, it's still unknown whether he will accept Xiao Lin." Xiao Lin was not fooled by Xiao Yishao's warm words. He knew clearly that the owner here was not this bald young master, but the Master Tao he had never met.

Hearing this, Xiao Yishao showed a half-smile on his face.

"Hehe, before you came into the stone hall, I not only checked your background through telepathy, but also asked Uncle Tao for permission. If she didn't agree, I wouldn't bother to talk to you so much."

"Uh." Xiao Lin's face was full of helplessness, but he was also very happy in his heart. As long as Uncle Tao could accept him, then his chances of getting the Five Elements Elixir formula would naturally be much greater.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'll introduce you to Master Tao. Master Tao's given name is Ling. He is one of the few true disciples in Dancao Mountain, and he is also the favorite disciple of Master Wu. Master Tao is not only extremely talented in alchemy, but also a genuine second-level alchemist. He also has earth spirit roots. Ahem, he is the same as me in this respect. They are both geniuses in cultivation."

"Master Tao is a woman?" Xiao Lin was surprised when he heard this, but when he heard that the little brother in front of him was actually the same as Master Tao, both of them had rare earth spirit roots, he still felt envious.

"Uh, is there a problem?" Xiao Yishao looked at Xiao Lin in confusion.

"No. No problem." Xiao Lin replied hurriedly.

"You also know that geniuses with earthly spiritual roots like us don't need to pass the cave trials. As for me, I joined the sect five years ago and have already practiced alchemy to the level of a first-level alchemist. However, there is still a long way to go before I can advance to a second-level alchemist. It's not that I don't have enough talent, but the number of second-level spiritual herbs is too small, and Uncle Tao is reluctant to give them to me to practice with, so I have been unable to advance to a second-level alchemist."

"Brother Xiao, Xiao Lin also wants to learn how to make a second-level spiritual pill, but he has no recipe..." Xiao Lin said cautiously beside him.

"Second-level elixir recipe? Those who can make it don't need it, and those who can't naturally don't need it. Since you have become Uncle Tao's elixir boy, you can't just know how to make first-level elixir. You also need to learn various second-level elixir making methods. Although you may not be allowed to make it yourself, you must be able to assist Uncle Tao when he makes the elixir."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin was overjoyed.
