Sister, please help me practice

Chapter 22

"Bing Xindan?"

The young man stared at the pill in Chu Ming's hand with wide eyes, his expression was still sad, but his words were very excited.

"Do you want to sell? Then I will buy it!"

"..."

Chu Ming felt a little apprehensive when he said such excited words in an extremely lamenting tone, and licked his dry lips and said in doubt.

"Have you always talked like this?"

"Little friend, you don't know something"

The boy sighed again.

"My name is Xu Shuai, and I practice the way of 'sorrow'"

"Sorrow?"

Seeing Chu Ming's expression that seemed to turn into a black question mark .jpg, Xu Shuai lamented.

"It is sorrow among the seven emotions. People who practice this way cannot have the corresponding emotion, which is 'joy', otherwise they will go crazy."

"At that time, I was breaking through the Foundation Establishment, because I was excited for a while, so I laughed out loud!"

"..."

Chu Ming was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and for a while he didn't know where to complain.

Mourn?
This kind of emotion can also be used as a path of cultivation?
Isn't depression a great talent for this way of cultivation!

The world is really big, full of wonders...

"That bad brother..."

"Just call me Ah Shao"

Xu Shuai sighed softly, took out a roll of bamboo books tied with a red ribbon from his arms, and handed it to Chu Ming.

"Little friend, since you are interested in Bingxuanhua, it must be Danxiu who has wood spirit roots. I can only practice spells with wood spirit roots. How about exchanging Bingxin Dan with you?"

"Spell?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and smiled wryly.

"I am ashamed to accept such a precious thing."

Do not make jokes.

No matter how valuable Bing Xin Dan is, can it be compared with a book of spells?

It's as outrageous as if you had to exchange a car key with a paper clip!
"Little friend, the premise of practicing the way of the seven emotions is to have the innate non-attribute spiritual root"

Xu Shuai picked up Chu Ming's right hand and put the bamboo book in his palm, then said quietly.

"So, for me, this spell is something outside of my body that I can't practice. I don't feel much loss in exchange for Bing Xindan."

"Besides, I think the most important thing is to practice a journey of contacts. My little friend is an extraordinary person at first glance. The value of making friends with you is far higher than this spell."

"..."

Xu Shuai's eyes were burning. At this moment, he seemed to be a different person, his temperament changed drastically, and his expression was full of confidence and arrogance.

However, before this appearance lasted long, he bowed his head again, took out a tissue to wipe his tears and begged.

"Let me tell the truth, I just need to use Bing Xin Dan urgently because I don't have any spirit stones, otherwise I wouldn't exchange this book of spells!"

You could have said that earlier!
Chu Ming couldn't help being a little speechless, and he didn't do too much pretentiousness. He glanced at the spell for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he gave Sanwen's Bing Xin Pill to Xu Shuai.

"Thank you, little friend! May I ask your name?"

"Chu Ming"

Chu Ming quickly put away the magic spell, coughed a few times to suppress his excitement at taking advantage of it, and then hurriedly bowed to say goodbye.

"Since brother Xu is fine, I'll leave first and say goodbye!"

……

After bidding farewell to Xu Shuai and walking into the Holy Pill Hall, Chu Ming realized that the magnificent building he saw at the entrance just now was just the tip of the iceberg.

The dark gray brick walls inside are covered with various landscape paintings and portraits of people, and the soft straw mats go all the way along the corridor to the end of the line of sight, and then the field of vision suddenly brightens.

"..."

After a brief silence, noisy voices gradually poured into his ears. Chu Ming looked around, as if Grandma Liu was curious about entering the Grand View Garden.

In front of him is a huge square in the hall, densely packed with uniform alchemy furnaces, many disciples of Tianyan Sect are sitting in front of it and are serious about alchemy.

Surrounding it were tiers of spectators, and people sat together in groups, commenting on the square with great interest.

Is this the place where alchemists are promoted and assessed?
Why does it feel different from what I imagined...

Chu Ming's cheeks twitched slightly, and after some searching around, he found the place where the fourth-rank alchemist was assessed, in the northwest of the square.

Compared with the dark and huge heads in the central area, there are very few alchemy people here, and they are all middle-aged and elderly people with white beards and bald heads.

However, there were a lot of people in the surrounding stands, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something. When Chu Ming arrived, their suspicious eyes instantly focused on him.

What is this doing?
Interrogation?
Being watched by so many people, no matter how thick-skinned Chu Ming was, he was unavoidably cautious in his heart, and hurriedly asked the deacon of the Holy Pill Hall beside him politely.

"Hi, may I ask if the fourth-rank alchemist is being assessed here?"

"?"

After hearing Chu Ming's youthful voice, the deacon who was registering and registering on the desk suddenly raised his head and looked at his immature face with surprise.

"Are you assessing a fourth-rank alchemist?"

"yes"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ming clearly felt that the surroundings became quiet instantly, and his burning eyes kept scanning him.

Of course, there is also the deacon in front of him.

He looked Chu Ming up and down, left and right, and then frowned slightly, with a hint of admonishment in his low tone.

"Assessment is not a child's play, if you take the initiative to disturb the order, you will be demerited"

"I'm really here for the test"

Chu Ming sighed lightly. He knew that this kind of thing would definitely happen, so he quickly took out his third-grade alchemy token and the letter from his master.

"This is my assessment procedure, why don't you check it out?"

"..."

After the deacon took it, he glanced at the envelope and found that the famous Fuyufeng dance was drunk, his expression became extremely astonished, and then gradually turned dignified.

"Okay, you are allowed to assess"

Afterwards, the deacon recorded Chu Ming's name in the register, and led him to the Yiding Pill Stove, and gave him three condensing qi powder materials.

"Refining a Erwen Condensing Qi Pill, and dissolving it without losing its medicinal effect is a successful assessment. There is no time limit."

After listening to the deacon's introduction to the assessment requirements, Chu Ming took a deep breath to calm down his restless mood, carefully inspected the alchemy furnace, groped for the materials with his right hand, and felt it with his spiritual sense.

Good material should work!

A light flashed in Chu Ming's eyes, and he immediately started to work with his confidence boosted, processing materials, burning wood spirits, filling them in batches, and controlling them with his soul...

The movements were done in one go and extremely skilled. This serious look made everyone in the stands hold their breath and put away their playful mentality of watching jokes.

However, Chu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass mat, opened his eyes suddenly after just a stick of incense, and quickly reached into the alchemy furnace with his right hand amidst the exclamation of the people in the stands.

What is he going to do?

Stretch your hand in during alchemy?
In an instant, the rich spiritual energy surged.

"It's done!"

After extinguishing the blue flame in the alchemy furnace, Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly spread his right palm.

At this moment, a pale white elixir with a round body was quietly lying in the palm of the hand, and the three elixir lines on its surface exuded amazing fluctuations in spiritual power.
