The ancient castle, like a huge beast of ferocity, exuded a desolate aura, and when Long Chen and Zhao Xiang entered the castle gate, they did not accept interrogation, and Zhao Xiang and the strong man who was guarding the gate, greeted each other, and took Long Chen into the city.
After entering the city, Long Chen discovers that the entire castle actually has a huge formation blessing, and that the aura inside the city is several times richer than outside, which makes Long Chen have to marvel at Dan Gu's handwriting.
After entering the city, Long Chen discovers that this is regarded as a holy place for alchemy, and it is actually very lively. Along the way, Long Chen sees many young disciples walking around on the road, but they are in a hurry and almost no one cares about them.
What surprised Long Chen the most was that these disciples were extremely young, and even said that some were young, and some looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and had only the realm of communication in cultivation.
"We in Dangu pay attention to alchemy rather than cultivation. When our disciples are young, the greater the potential they can tap, and if their cultivation is low, the greater the space for the expansion of soul power.
So it's no surprise to see these young disciples, but the competition among our Dangu disciples is extremely fierce, and those who can enter Dangu are called elixir-making geniuses.
But here, geniuses are overflowing and becoming ordinary people, and geniuses are all dignified and are used to being high, being held, being looked up, and being worshiped.
So the geniuses, when they get here, they are practicing desperately, and they don't need to be urged at all. Look at them, even acquaintances, they just nod their heads and basically don't speak.
Because they feel that speaking is a waste of time, and they want to use all their time in practice." Zhao Xiang explained for Long Chen.
"Good guy, do you want to work so hard? " Long Chen was stunned and didn't even want to waste his time talking. This was too hard.
Long Chen felt that he had worked hard enough, but when compared to them, he was simply too lazy to die.
"Hehe, it's impossible not to fight hard. Sometimes vanity is the driving force for people's progress.
Everyone wants to stand on top of others' heads, look down at the heroes and be the leader, and no one wants to be stepped on by others.
In the "Dan Valley", the art of alchemy is everything. As long as your alchemy is powerful enough, you can do whatever you want. Moreover, our alchemy practice takes a different route from ordinary practitioners. You don't need to be as strong as jade. As long as you The dragon dust is strong enough, how many resources you need, how many beauties you have, and you don't need to take the initiative, you will flock to it, hehe, you know!" Zhao Xiang chuckled and blinked at Long Chen.
I'm going, the benefits are so good? Danshu is so comfortable that he doesn't need to reboot, and it's so cool.
Normal practitioners, after entering the innate realm, can theoretically have offspring without destroying the spiritual roots and allowing cultivation to stagnate.
However, most practitioners will not choose to reproduce their descendants even after entering the innate realm, because the higher the realm of parents, the higher the purity of spiritual blood. Children born will inherit the power of their parents' bloodline and achieve genius. The higher the probability.
So most practitioners, when they reach the peak of their own cultivation, will consider finding a partner to reproduce their descendants.
So most male practitioners, after the innate realm, will find one or more double monastic couples, but will not choose to reproduce their descendants.
It is no problem for male practitioners to find Taoist couples, but female practitioners usually do not choose Taoist couples as a last resort.
This involves a question of mentality in the middle, where male cultivators usually see beauty as wealth, satisfying the desire to conquer, but real emotions, not much.
And "female cultivators are different. Once they break their bodies, their Taoist hearts will be greatly affected. They usually practice dual cultivation with them because they fall in love with someone".
This is different from the attitude of the male cultivator. If there is a difference, it is that the male cultivator takes away the kidneys and the female cultivator takes away the heart.
Once a nun falls in love with a man, the mood changes very much, especially after breaking up, the mood becomes confused for a while.
And "Practice is sailing in mud and water. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Therefore, double cultivation has no impact on male cultivation, but has a great impact on female cultivation".
Unless it's that nun who has never loved this man at all, it's just that she relies on her beauty to exchange the same benefits as men, so it's a different matter.
However, in the world of practice, such things are relatively rare. For female cultivators, such sacrifices are too great and the rewards they can get may not be worth their losses.
However, alchemy is an independent and special practitioner, and female cultivators do not need to be bound in this regard, as long as they have enough talent and understanding, they do not have to maintain a clear mind at all.
Therefore, Dangu did not prohibit emotional issues among his disciples. Zhao Xiang even hinted at Long Chen and gave Long Chen the motivation to move forward. After all, men are all kidney-walking animals.
Along the way, Zhao Xiang and Long Chen introduced some of Dangu's rules and taboos, which were basically similar to ordinary sects.
Soon, a magnificent building appeared ahead, namely the Secretary of Denali, which was responsible for all the chores within the Dan Valley, and the rank of disciples was among them.
With "Zhao Xiang leading the way", the process was very simple. You only need to submit the nameplate, and then Zhao Xiang will handle the rest, and the procedures will be completed quickly.
After completing the formalities, Long Chen was given a new nameplate, which was a disciple nameplate.
"This disciple's nameplate is the nameplate of an inner disciple. It is of no use and is just a cutscene.
Your goal is to enter the Shindan Hall, which is a place of practice for elite disciples and enjoys treatment thousands of times better than that of the inner disciples.
There are millions of disciples from the outer sect of Tangu and more than 80,000 disciples from the inner sect, while there are only three thousand disciples from the sacred alchemy hall.
And this number is always the same, that is, you, if you can enter the Shindan Hall, then the people who were ranked lower in the original Shindan Hall will be squeezed out by you.
I took a look and there are still ten days left before the next Inner Disciples Impact on the Shendantang Qualification Competition.
This comparative examination, conducted every two months, the inner disciples, the top 1,000, are eligible to participate.
I mean, I want you to participate in the next competition, but Dharma Protector means that time is tight and you can only get the best training if you enter the Shindan Hall.
"You are just an inner disciple now. Lord Dharma Protector can give you not many resources to fight for. After all, there are those old guys here who are watching too closely!".
But if you enter the Divine Alchemy Hall, it will be different. We will support you with some precious resources, and they will not dare to say anything."
"Well, I understand, Master Dharma Protector has good intentions, and his disciples understand. By the way, Elder Zhao, I heard that there is a second part of this Brahma Sutra? I don't know if the disciples have the opportunity to practice." Long Chen asked.
"this. . . . . I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. The first part of the Brahma Sutra can be practiced by any disciple. It's not a top secret.
However, the second part of the Mahavra Sutra requires a certain status to practice, usually only the powerful person with the qualification of the tower master can practice." Zhao Xiang shook his head and said, Because even he is not qualified to practice the second part of the Brahma Sutra.
"That's it? Then the disciples are unable to practice?" "Long Chen couldn't help but look disappointed. He came just for the second part of the Brahma Sutra. His disciples didn't give him practice. Nima, isn't this nonsense?".
"In fact, you don't have to be disappointed. Disciples can also learn it. The main thing is to see if you are amazed enough. If you are really amazed enough, I believe Lord Dharma Protector will definitely help you fight for it. " Zhao Xiang hurriedly comforted him, fearing that Long Chen would lose his motivation.
The following days, Long Chen spent in a secret chamber, where jade sticks, several people high, were placed, with thousands of jade sticks.
Each jade sign, is a classic of alchemy, which records various alchemy theories and summaries of failures, as well as some ideas, which are valuable experiences left by the predecessors, sages, in their life of alchemy.
"Idiot, I've seen this thing too much, I'm afraid I won't even be able to refine it! "
Long Chen was locked up in a secret room alone to learn these things, because this was related to entering the theoretical competition of the Divine Alchemy Hall.
Because the competition in the Divine Alchemy Hall is divided into two parts: theory and practice. Not only do you need to be able to refine alchemy, but you also need to say why.
But these things in front of us are all the opinions of benevolent people. What everyone talks about is personal experience. They really don't have many alchemy techniques, and some theories are also very novel and unique.
But those things only fit their tastes and preferences, as if everyone is learning to draw. I am learning landscape painting. Do you want me to see those pictures of beautiful women making hair?
The most hateful thing is that you have to write down your thoughts and experiences after watching it. Otherwise, even if you are a stranger and don't pass the test for you, is this really sick?
When I learn how to cook roast chicken, I need to know where the chicken comes from? You have to first study whether there are chickens or eggs before I can learn?
But there is no way, because during the competition, you will take these exams. If you fail the theory, you will not even be qualified to make elixirs. Long Chen can only bite the bullet and look at it.
In ten days, Long Chen almost felt like he was vomiting. Even with Long Chen's terrifying soul power, remembering these things made him feel dizzy and bloated.
What makes Long Chen uncomfortable the most is that some theories are simply wrong, but Long Chen still has to memorize them by rote and follow the mistakes.
Because the assessment standards are all based on these things. Only by answering and what is inside can we be considered correct. This is the first time that Long Chen has learned alchemy knowledge in such pain.
Ten days later, Zhao Xiang released Long Chen from the secret room, with a hint of worry in Zhao Xiang's eyes.
Generally, Danxiu, in two months, can remember these theoretical things, it is already very good, and Longchen only has ten days, which is indeed a bit difficult for strong people.
After all, now he is responsible for everything about Long Chen, sharing weal and woe with Long Chen. Zhao Xiang said: How about "?"
"It's okay, I basically remember everything, there should be no problem. " Long Chen rubbed his slightly tired face and fought hard for the second part of the Brahma Sutra.
"That's good, don't feel too much pressure in your heart, even if you can't pass it this time, you will definitely pass it next time. " Zhao Xiang comforted.
After saying this, Zhao Xiang took Long Chen and walked straight to a building behind the Alchemy Division. When he walked into the building, Long Chen found that there was already a black figure inside.
"Long San?"
Long Chen had just come in, and suddenly a voice filled with astonishment came.
