Li wumei’s figure disappeared very quickly. In an instant, the side hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle!
In the green smoke, li lieyue’s expression did not change, but the couch under him kept making “crack,””crack” crisp sounds. Not long after, this couch, which was specially refined to benefit cultivation, had a few huge cracks. With a “crash,” it finally could not hold on any longer and broke into powder.
Li lieyue still maintained his cross-legged posture, floating in the air, expressionless.
The maidservants held their breaths and focused, not daring to make a sound.
A moment later, Wu Liu carefully stepped forward and said,”Master, if PEI Ling dares to betray us, do you want to …”
Li lieyue’s eyes turned cold. He turned his head and stared at her without saying a word.
Wu Liu immediately didn’t dare to continue.
“Uncle fifteen is getting on in years, you can enjoy your remaining years in the soul devouring cave,” li lieyue finally said after a long while.
The maids were stunned, but jiaoqing reacted quickly, ” “Master is right!”
???
Ten thousand fathoms sea.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the originally blue sea had turned into a strange dark blue.
Although the wind and waves weren’t very strong, the aura of the approaching mountains and waves was very strong.
The water vapor mixed with the fishy smell of the sea violently rushed into the large spiritual boat. However, in the top cabin, the array quickly filtered out the fishy smell, leaving only the fresh sea breeze, which was blown into the well-decorated cabin.
The bead curtain in the room was half rolled up, and PEI Ling sat alone. His brows were slightly furrowed as he thought carefully about Shi Wanli’s introduction to the pill discussion ceremony.
The Grand alchemy ceremony was born because of the small sky of freedom.
The small sky of freedom was a small Grotto-heaven left behind by a talented Alchemist thousands of years ago.
It was specially set up, containing countless rare materials that alchemists dreamed of, as well as the alchemist’s various insights into alchemy.
It could be said to be one of the top opportunities for alchemists.
In order to recruit talents, the glazed tile Empire set up a pill discussion ceremony with “small sky of freedom” as the main prize.
Because of the attractive opportunities and generous rewards, and because of the iron-fisted Liu Yan Dynasty, although many alchemists attended the ceremony, nothing serious had ever happened. Therefore, for the past thousand years, it had been jokingly called the most famous talent-picking ceremony in the entire Panhu realm.
In order to attract as many alchemists as possible, and also to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the loopholes, the rules of the alchemy ceremony were very simple.
The first round was the preliminary auditions.
As long as one entered the territory of the glazed avarice dynasty and signed up with the local hundred works banner in any city, under the supervision of The Alchemist of the hundred Works office, one would be considered to have passed if one was able to refine a cauldron of mid-grade and above pills within three times of opening the furnace.
This round’s reward was Cheng Yi, as well as the hundred worker Gu’s free food and lodging for the entire duration of the pill discussion ceremony.
In order to take advantage of this, many alchemists would choose the pill they were most skilled in and practice it in order to steadily refine middle-grade pills.
Of course, these alchemists usually didn’t expect to enter minor freedom sky. They just wanted to take the opportunity to increase their knowledge and Exchange for some urgently needed medicinal materials.
They were purely here to join in the fun.
The alchemists who really wanted to obtain a spot in the minor freedom heaven would apply for the dynasty Alchemist test after passing the selection.
The dynasty set up the hundred workers banner, which governed alchemists, talisman Masters, forgers, and so on. It was divided into grades like officials, with nine grades as the entry level and one grade as the top.
The ninth-grade Alchemist test was to select questions under the supervision of the hundred worker puppet. After that, there were ten chances to open the furnace. If one could refine three cauldrons of middle-grade and above medicinal pills, they would pass.
Only after obtaining the qualification of a ninth-grade Alchemist could one be considered a true participant of the alchemy discussion ceremony.
The first was to continue participating in the hundred worker puppet’s test until he passed the fifth-grade Alchemist test and directly enter the county examination. The Empire would be divided into 36 counties. The county examination would be the competition in the imperial capital and the final battle of the alchemy ceremony!
The second choice was to not continue to participate in the hundred worker puppet’s test, but to directly participate in the pill discussion ceremony’s competition and fight his way up.
Alchemists could choose any of these two paths.
However, Shi Wanli’s words implied that he was suggesting for PEI Ling to choose the first option.
This was because the competition in the pill ceremony couldn’t allow one to skip levels. One could only kill their way through. Even if it was an alchemy master, he would have to compare it with the most basic Peiyuan pill.
However, in the hundred worker Gu’s test, one could choose any grade of test after obtaining the qualification to become a ninth-grade Alchemist.
And after passing, there would be many rewards.
As PEI Ling had just refined a batch of Supreme-grade foundation building pills in front of everyone, Shi Wanli felt that he could directly apply for the fifth-grade Alchemist examination after arriving at the Empire. At that time, he would not have to worry about many chores and could just wait for the county examination to begin.
However, PEI Ling didn’t care about all this. After all, him revealing his identity as an Alchemist was only a temporary measure.
When he got off the spiritual boat, he would find a way to escape!
It was just that Shi Wanli had mentioned that after passing the fifth-grade Alchemist test of the hundred works banner, other than the rewards of many medicinal herbs and spirit stones, one could also choose any profound level cultivation technique from the secret warehouse of the glazed tile Empire!
Although the [ burning night chapter ] that PEI Ling was currently cultivating was an earth-grade technique that was above Mystic-grade, it was still a demonic technique.
Moreover, it was one of the signature demonic techniques of the heavy iron sect.
Regardless of whether he changed his appearance and continued to travel around the glaze avarice dynasty or went to other righteous path territories, he had to cultivate a righteous path cultivation technique. Only then could he disguise himself better and avoid many risks.
Otherwise, if he were to encounter a situation where he had to fight, he would be surrounded by a large group of righteous cultivators before he could even deal with the danger.
At the thought of this, PEI Ling immediately dispelled the idea of immediately finding an opportunity to leave after disembarking.
He decided to follow Shi Wanli to the hundred workers banner and pass the fifth-grade Alchemist test. After that, he would obtain a Xuan level righteous technique from the Imperial court!
After all, it would be a waste not to take a cultivation technique that was delivered to his door.
“Not only will the cultivation techniques of the righteous path be helpful for my future travels, but it will also be safer for me to walk on the righteous path in the future!” PEI Ling thought to himself,’in addition to the identity of an Alchemist certified by the glazed tile Empire … It’s equivalent to having a backing to clear my name.
“It’s decided then!”
“Follow Shi Wanli to take the fifth-grade Alchemist test. After you pass, you can try to escape …”
Shi Wanli was keeping a close eye on him, as if he was afraid that he would escape.
If there were no accidents, before he attended the pill ceremony, the other party would use the banner of protection and would not leave his side.
To be honest, PEI Ling did not have much confidence in escaping from his eyes.
He might even give himself away and cause the other party to be more suspicious.
Therefore, it was better to beat him at his own game and find an excuse to run away after learning the cultivation technique!
&Quot; now, I just have to wait for the spiritual boat to arrive at the Empire … &Quot; at this thought, PEI Ling looked up at the porthole. The sky was covered in clouds and was extremely low, almost falling.
The large spiritual boat’s protective array was fully activated, but the spiritual boat that was flashing with countless runes still moved forward in the waves like a toy.
If it weren’t for the additional array on the top cabin, which allowed it to remain as stable as land even though the spiritual boat was stumbling, all the furnishings in the cabin would have been thrown off!
A violent storm was coming, and the water surface was boiling, its color as black as ink. The stormy waves were already ready to be launched!
