Chapter 125 The elixir discussion conference begins
Listening to Song Jie’s opinion on the popularity of power, God Huangfu nodded with approval and said: “Fellow Daoist Song is indeed a businessman, and his analysis is very accurate.
“If Fellow Daoist Song has plans to develop his own power in the future, this opportunity must not be missed.
“Even if you don’t plan to develop your power, it would be great if you can increase your personal reputation.
“When your reputation reaches a certain level, various resources and opportunities will even come to you.”
“Fellow Taoist Huangfu’s words make sense. I’ll make good preparations in the past few days.” Song Jie nodded slightly.
For him, improving his personal reputation is quite important.
In his plan, after the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, he would go to Yunmiao City to develop.
If he can take advantage of this opportunity to gain a certain reputation, he will be able to gain a foothold in Yunmiao City more quickly.
Moreover, after the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, he will start preparing for foundation building.
Song Jie’s goal is to strive for the foundation of heaven.
There is really no way to build a foundation in the heavenly way, at least we have to build a foundation in the earthly way.
If he wanted to build a foundation through the earth, he would have to obtain the earth’s spiritual energy.
If you want to obtain the earth’s spiritual energy, you definitely need a certain amount of human resources to be able to find a channel to obtain the earth’s spiritual energy.
If he wants to accumulate human resources, he needs to have a certain reputation and value.
Therefore, the “Elixir Discussion Conference” held by the Danding Sect is indeed a rare opportunity for Song Jie.
An opportunity for him to take a shortcut.
The two then talked about other things about the “Elixir Forum”.
It wasn’t until the cups and plates were in a mess that the two of them left Tianxiang Tower and returned to the courtyard where the guests lived.
Song Jie was also assigned a room for him to rest under the arrangement of a dedicated person.
Looking at this warm and elegant room, Song Jie suddenly felt emotional.
“Today is really a day full of surprises~” I thought I was going to stay on the street, but ended up staying in a luxurious courtyard. “
The area he was in was filled with luxurious courtyards of a similar style.
These luxurious courtyards are temporary residences used by the Danding Sect to receive guests.
Of course, not all alchemists who came to attend the “Elixir Forum” could stay in these luxurious courtyards as guests.
Guests who can stay in the luxurious courtyards usually have a certain reputation, or come from a certain force, or have certain friendships with elders and disciples of high status in the Alchemy Sect.
If you are an ordinary casual cultivator, you are not qualified to stay and have to find an inn to stay on your own.
This time, the date of the Danding Sect’s recruitment of external disciples and the “Elixir Discussing Conference” were relatively close, resulting in more monks from outside during this period.
So there was a situation where almost every inn was full.
On his way back just now, Song Jie even heard some monks talking about setting up a tent outside Danhua Town to spend the night.
This made him feel grateful that he was lucky enough to meet Mu Lingxuan.
What’s even more rare is that Mu Lingxuan actually remembers herself, whom she only met once, and treats herself as a guest.
Not only did he solve his accommodation problem, but he also brought Shi Ning directly back to the sect so that Shi Ning could join the Alchemy Sect without having to participate in the entry trial.
Even though Mu Lingxuan didn’t say anything, Song Jie still remembered this favor.
……
Time passed like this day after day.
These days, Song Jie is preparing to set up stalls at the “Elixir Forum” while exchanging alchemy experiences with the alchemists in the courtyard.
These alchemists who can stay in the courtyard as guests usually have a certain status and their own alchemy skills are also quite advanced.
In the process of communicating with them, Song Jie gained a lot.
Of course, Song Jie is already at a very high level among first-level alchemists.
In particular, his Qingming Nether Fire, which has broken through to the realm of the Great Dao, makes his understanding of the Alchemy Fire Technique far surpass that of the first-level alchemists of his generation.
Whenever the topic of alchemy is discussed, some of Song Jie’s insights will be praised by other alchemists.
This made those alchemists recognize him more and more.
This can be regarded as the first time that Song Jie has gained a little fame in the circle of alchemists.
As for Huangfu Shen, Song Jie rarely saw him since he drank at Tianxiang Tower that night.
Basically I only see them once a day or two, and I don’t know what they are busy with.
In addition, when the Danding Sect’s entry trial began, Song Jie went out of his way to see what the so-called entry trial was like.
After watching it for a while, Song Jie found that the process of this entry trial was generally similar to what he imagined.
The very beginning is to test the spiritual roots, and then there are various examinations.
There are those who test on elixirs, some who test on weapons, and some who test on making talismans, and there are even tests on some knowledge of cultivating immortals…
Of course, these exams only test theoretical knowledge and do not allow those who participated in the entry trial to perform practical exercises.
After all, most of those who will come to participate in the entry trial are ordinary mortals, and there is little point in testing their practical skills.
In addition to the examination of these theoretical knowledge, there are also assessments of personal qualities such as character, moral character, and perseverance.
Overall, the content of the Alchemy Sect’s introductory trial is relatively comprehensive.
As for the weight of each assessment and the specific criteria for recruiting disciples from the Danding Sect, Song Jie had no way of knowing.
After roughly understanding the assessment content of the entry trial, Song Jie took out the spiritual sound jade and communicated with Mu Lingxuan.
When they met five days ago, before saying goodbye, each other recorded each other’s breath through Lingyin Yujue.
After contacting Mu Lingxuan, Song Jie also met Shi Ning smoothly.
After being concerned about Shi Ning’s joining the Alchemy Sect, Song Jie felt relieved after learning that he had initially adapted to the sect’s life.
According to Shi Ning, after Mu Lingxuan brought him back to the sect, she arranged for an outer disciple to conduct some simple tests on him the next day.
And Shi Ning also relied on his solid alchemy foundation to get a job as a handyman disciple related to alchemy.
This will be beneficial to his future development in the Danding Sect.
Moreover, because Shi Ning was brought into the sect by Mu Lingxuan, even the outer disciple who was responsible for testing him was quite polite towards Shi Ning.
With Shi Ning’s cleverness and energy, Song Jie believed that he would make good use of this advantage to make himself at home in the Alchemy Sect.
After returning to Danhua Town, Song Jie found a few more of his regular customers.
Among the monks who came to Danhua Town from Xinyuefang City this time, several of his old customers also sent their children to participate in the introductory trial of the Alchemy Sect.
Because he had to attend the “Elixir Forum” next, Song Jie also entrusted several old customers to bring back the good news of Shi Ning joining the Alchemy Sect so that Shi Lei and his wife could know.
In case when the time comes, all the troops will come back, but Song Jie still hasn’t come back, leaving Shi Lei and his wife worried all the time.
……
After the entrance trial for new disciples of the Alchemy Sect ended, about five days passed.
Song Jie’s long-awaited “Elixir Discussion Conference” was finally officially held.
Early in the morning, Song Jie, together with Huangfu Shen and several other alchemists in the courtyard where he lived, went to the mountain gate of the Alchemy Sect.
As VIPs, they naturally did not need to hike up the mountain.
When they arrived outside Danhua Town, there was a tamed monster pulling a chariot waiting for them.
These chariot wheels pulled by monsters are obviously larger and more luxurious than carriages.
The chariot’s frame is one foot, three feet, nine and a half inches high and eight feet, two and a half inches wide. The seat inside is more than four feet and one inch high, allowing those who sit on it to have a panoramic view of the mountains and mountains, showing off their grandeur.
This was Song Jie’s first time riding such a luxurious vehicle.
Huangfu Shen, who was sitting next to Song Jie, was obviously not riding on a chariot for the first time, and he behaved very naturally.
Song Jie quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: “I have refined some elixirs that I am good at.”
Although Song Jie brought a lot of elixirs with him on this trip, he only used those elixirs for emergencies.
If there are no special circumstances, he will not use it.
During this time, he had nothing special to do in Danhua Town, so he went to buy some medicinal materials and refined them in his room.
With the exception of Yuanyang Pill and Lingyun Pill, the proficiency of the first-grade spiritual pills he currently masters is basically at the level of Dacheng, which is close to perfection.
Xuanyang Pill has reached perfect proficiency.
Combined with his Qingming Youhuo, which has already reached the realm of Dao.
These first-grade elixirs refined during this period are all of high quality and high quality.
And most of them are of premium quality.
Because the purpose of setting up a stall at the “Elixir Forum” this time is to increase his popularity.
Therefore, Song Jie only refines those first-grade elixirs with relatively high proficiency.
To put it simply, in addition to Yuanyang Pill and Lingyun Pill, he has refined some other pills.
Moreover, high-quality elixirs are specially selected for display at stalls.
As for Yuanyang Pill and Lingyun Pill.
The former was because the medicine was so powerful that he didn’t dare to show it for fear of bringing a bad reputation to himself.
Otherwise, he can completely consume skill points, improve his proficiency, and then refine a high-quality first-grade Yuanyang Pill.
Not to mention Lingyun Dan, first of all, there is no main material.
Secondly, if he dared to show the Ling Yun Dan, he would be considered an evil cultivator.
God Huangfu’s eyes lit up when he heard that Song Jie had refined some special elixirs.
“Is there any way to refine Yuanyang Pill?
“If Fellow Daoist Song takes out the Yuanyang Pill, he will definitely shine.”
“Without the fire dolphin glands, Yuanyang Pill cannot be refined.” Song Jie shook his head and smiled.
He still had forty-five first-grade Yuanyang Pills in his storage bag, but he didn’t dare to take them out and display them.
Although he is also sure that showing off the Yuanyang Pill will make him shine, it will definitely gain some bad reputation.
Some female monks may think that he is a perverted alchemist.
After hearing this, God Huangfu said with a little regret: “That is indeed a pity.
“Whenever I have free time, I will get some fire dolphin glands for Fellow Taoist Song.
“Fellow Daoist Song can refine more Yuanyang Pills.
“This is good stuff.”
“Okay, definitely.”
Song Jie smiled knowingly.
When we were drinking and chatting in Tianxiang Tower a few days ago, God Huangfu mentioned many times that in the process of robbing the rich, giving to the poor, and punishing rape and eliminating evil.
The Yuanyang Pills refined by Song Jie provided a lot of help.
It allowed him to gain a lot of fun in the process of punishing bad guys, which was very satisfying.
Especially after the bad guys who took Yuanyang Pill were locked up with the sows.
That scene… made Huangfu Shen extremely happy.
……
About half an hour later, everyone rode on chariots and arrived at the mountain gate of Danding Sect.
From here, everyone can only walk up the mountain.
After verifying their identities, Song Jie and his party were also allowed to enter the mountain gate of Danding Sect.
When you step into the mountain gate of Danding Sect, the first thing you see is a lush bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest is like a green barrier, isolating the hustle and bustle of the outside world, making this a true holy land for spiritual practice.
After passing through the bamboo forest, everyone climbed up the stairs paved with bluestone slabs.
Led by the outer disciples who led the way, Song Jie and others arrived at a square that looked like white jade halfway up the mountain.
This square was specially designated by the Alchemy Cauldron Sect to set up stalls for the monks who came to participate in the “Elixir Forum”.
A few days ago, the entrance trial for recruiting disciples from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect was also held in this huge white jade square.
So this is Song Jie’s second time coming to this square.
Standing in Baiyu Square and looking up, you can see majestic buildings.
They are built according to the mountains, well-proportioned and extraordinary in style.
The elders and disciples of the Alchemy Sect practiced there.
It’s a pity that Song Jie and others who are not disciples of the Danding Sect cannot go up to visit and can only look up at the white jade square.
The last time Song Jie came to see Shi Ning, he couldn’t go up.
It was Shi Ning who came down the mountain to see him.
……
At this time, some alchemists have set up stalls in the White Jade Square, with bottles of elixirs placed on them.
According to the past situation, the first five days of this “Elixir Discussion Conference” are for free communication among the alchemists who come to participate in the conference.
The way of communication is to set up a stall in the White Jade Square.
If other alchemists are interested, they will come to your stall to communicate.
Many alchemists will take this opportunity to get acquainted with people of the same profession.
If they are compatible, they will also negotiate some cooperation matters.
At the same time, many disciples of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect will come to Baiyu Square to look for some elixirs that they are interested in.
This is also an opportunity for alchemists like them to get to know the disciples of the Alchemy Sect.
After five days of free exchanges, the Alchemy Sect will set up a forum to give lectures in the White Jade Square, and hold several activities at the same time to give some surprises to the alchemists who come to the conference.
Of course, those who set up the altar to preach were all elders of the Danding Sect.
Only the “Elixir Discussion Conference” fifty years ago was preached by the head of the Alchemy Sect himself.
Therefore, most monks who come to participate in the conference will be more looking forward to what surprises the Alchemy Sect has prepared for them this time.
It is said that the rewards given by the Danding Sect in the previous events were very good.
Song Jie is also looking forward to this.
God Huangfu looked at Song Jie and said with a smile: “Fellow Daoist Song, quickly find a good location and start setting up a stall.
“If you wait a little longer, the good spot will be taken away.”
Song Jie nodded and asked curiously: “What is Fellow Taoist Huangfu going to do next?”
