I studied abroad in modern times

Master Tongming watched the two Qi Refining disciples fighting in the field, his eyes were focused, his mind was not distracted, and his expression was numb.

What?

You said that the light that appears every now and then is easy to distract people?

Who are you looking down on?

He is a dignified God, and only two or three... four or five... ten disciples have achieved Golden Core. Who has never seen it?

Oh, you haven't seen such a dense crowd?

Neither have I...

Ten or so Golden Cores are naturally nothing, he really doesn't take it seriously.

But in less than half a month, Jiushan Sect actually had more than ten new Golden Core cultivators...

One a day, like an old hen laying eggs...

When he thought of this, he turned his head and looked at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa also raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Qiuxian Island. He frowned, without a smile, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

Master Tongming's eyes became even deeper:

This Zheng master knows how to make people angry.

The other Nascent Souls who were watching the ceremony were not paying attention to the disciples who were fighting, but were whispering to each other;

"Fourteen now, I remember that there were only so many Golden Cores in the Nine Mountains Sect before?"

"Did it double?"

"Not only that, I see that among these fourteen Golden Cores, there are seven high-grade Golden Cores! If given time, there will be seven more Nascent Soul cultivators? Now there are only five Nascent Souls in the Nine Mountains Sect, right?"

After saying this, the eyes of the Nascent Souls fell on Zheng Fa.

Among the group of people sitting here, there are two people who have reached the stage of transformation, and most of the others are Nascent Souls.

Only Zheng Fa is the youngest, and his cultivation is only at the level of Golden Core, so he is somewhat out of place sitting there.

But at this moment, he seems to be the center of attention.

The golden core light from afar shines on him, shining brightly, making people unforgettable.

Only the frowning brows made everyone mutter in their hearts-

Isn't the people in the Nine Mountains Sect too pitiful?

There are so many talents to be cultivated.

You are still frowning like this?

So dissatisfied?

Everyone began to reflect:

Is it that we have set too low standards for our disciples?

Haven't you seen how prosperous Jiushan Sect is now?

Is it true that strict teachers produce excellent students?

Zheng Fa really didn't know that his expression could deceive the disciples of other sects.

He was indeed a little disappointed.

Among the fourteen disciples, only half of them condensed into high-grade golden elixir, which was actually a little lower than his expectations.

In theory, this ratio would definitely be a great joy in any sect of Xuanwei.

But Jiushan Sect is different after all.

After "Golden Elixir Project", the twelve golden elixir methods in the sect have become perfect.

That's it.

Even the principles of golden elixir have been figured out by these disciples, and there are basically no doubts in their hearts.

Of course, this cannot guarantee that everyone can condense a high-grade golden elixir.

The problem is - simplification.

The effect of process simplification can be calculated with a very simple probability problem:

If there are originally 20 steps to be operated, and the yield rate of each step is 90%, then the total yield rate is about 10%.

If it is simplified to only 10 steps, the total yield rate will be more than 30%.

It will be improved by about three times.

Of course, forming a pill is not that simple-he cannot reduce each method by half. The so-called "yield rate" is different in different methods and different in the conditions of the cultivators themselves. There is no accurate measurement, so it is naturally impossible to calculate it clearly.

But the principle is roughly the same.

On the other hand, there is another advantage of fewer steps:

Because the process of forming a pill consumes spiritual power and soul, the more steps, the lower the cultivator's control over the process of forming a pill, and naturally, the "yield rate" is actually getting lower and lower.

With fewer steps, there is naturally no such risk.

Therefore, Zheng Fa thought...the proportion of high-quality golden pills should be higher.

After thinking about it, Zheng Fa shook his head. This was the first large-scale practice of the "Golden Elixir Project". It was impossible to achieve the ideal situation completely. On the other hand, the conditions of each foundation-building disciple were different. Some people's foundation was too imperfect, which might have a great impact.

He planned to summarize them one by one after this batch of disciples came out of retreat, further improve the theory of the "Golden Elixir Project", and improve these golden elixir methods again.

In the future, there will be the "Talisman Foundation Building Method" for foundation building, and the "Golden Elixir Project" for forming elixir... That will be another scene!

As for those disciples who have not formed a high-quality golden elixir, Xuanwei cultivators may think that they have no hope of Nascent Soul...

But the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method" may bring some surprises to Zheng Fa.

After figuring this out, Zheng Fa looked up and saw the eyes of the surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators looking at him, which were quite strange.

"You look at me like this..." he asked blankly, "Is the competition over?"

"Huh?"

Everyone turned around and saw the winning disciple standing in the theater, with his hands on his hips, looking lonely, aggrieved, and bored.

...

After the sports meet, there is a commendation meeting. After the Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly, it is naturally the same!

The Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly is divided into three groups: Golden Core, Foundation Building, and Qi Training. The top eight in each group will receive rewards from Master Tongming.

Zheng Fa looked at the Seventh Young Master standing stupidly on the stage and shook his head:

This guy can actually rank seventh in the Qi Training group!

The quality of this generation of disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance is worrying!

But it is understandable when I think about it——

Not only has the Seventh Young Master reached the late stage of Qi training, but his attainments in talisman techniques are definitely among the best in the Hundred Immortals Alliance, apart from the disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect.

But… talisman techniques are extremely advantageous among the disciples of Qi training, after all, magic weapons and the like can only be played after the Golden Core.

In addition, this person is now highly valued in the Qingmu Sect, and the Qingmu Sect is good at refining pills.

Zheng Fa has watched the Seventh Young Master's fight: This person is definitely a krypton gold and drug-taking warrior!

Those with higher cultivation than him don't have as many talismans as him, those with the same number of talismans as him don't have as many pills as him, and even those who have more pills than him don't admit defeat as quickly as him!

Master Tongming gave various rewards such as spiritual stones and treasures to these disciples, and he felt a little awkward in his heart-because he could feel that everyone seemed to be a little absent-minded.

He was too.

Because they were all waiting for the next project-the New Golden Core Ceremony of the Nine Mountains Sect.

This was also suggested by Uncle Pang. He felt that Zheng Fa should have celebrated his elixir formation. Zheng Fa refused at that time. After all, there was a celebration when he took over as the head of the sect. The time difference between the two was very short, and Zheng Fa was unwilling to make trouble.

Now there are fourteen more Jindan cultivators in the sect, and the strength has greatly increased. Why not take advantage of the excitement of the Nine Mountains to hold a big celebration.

Zheng Fa thought about it for two days and agreed to it. After a breakthrough in cultivation, it is human nature to want to show off, right?

He couldn't deprive those new Jindan disciples of this fun.

What surprised him was that Master Tongming and the others were also quite interested.

Therefore, after the Hundred Immortals League Commendation Conference, it was the Nine Mountains Sect's Jindan Celebration.

After the Seventh Young Master and the others received their rewards, the fourteen newly promoted Jindan of the Nine Mountains Sect lined up to the stage. They had just advanced and their aura had not yet been completely restrained. They walked together, which was actually very imposing.

Even the Yuanying who were watching the ceremony couldn't help holding their breath at this moment, looking at these disciples with complicated eyes.

The first among the fourteen people was Sun Daoyu, a disciple of Uncle Pang. He had formed a top-grade golden elixir and was well-known among the disciples, so he was implicitly the leader of the group.

At this moment, Sun Daoyu was no longer as calm as before. He had a silly smile on his face. When he saw Zheng Fa, he couldn't help but grin, which showed his happiness.

Under the stage, Uncle Pang and Zhou Qianyuan looked at this disciple, their faces smiling like chrysanthemums.

The Golden Elixir Ceremony was actually not as good as the commendation meeting just now - because there was no reward.

The most important thing was to let these new golden elixir disciples meet the other disciples, and at the same time, change their waist badges to those of true disciples.

Zheng Fa handed the newly made waist badge to Sun Daoyu. Sun Daoyu took the waist badge and rubbed it carefully with his fingers, his eyes were a little red.

Zheng Fa patted his shoulder and pushed him forward gently.

Sun Daoyu took two steps and stood in front of Zheng Fa, facing the bustling Jiushan Sect disciples and foreign cultivators below the stage.

First, the Jiushan Sect disciples saluted him: "Congratulations, Senior Brother, for achieving the Golden Elixir and becoming a True Transmission!"

Thousands of people shouted, and the sound shook the four directions.

Sun Daoyu hurriedly returned the salute.

Then the foreign cultivators who watched the ceremony congratulated him.

These people also looked quite serious - Jindan is considered a figure in the Xuanwei Realm, not to mention that it is a top-grade Jindan, and there is hope that he will achieve the Nascent Soul.

Even those Nascent Souls secretly remembered Sun Daoyu's face.

After seven disciples received the waist badges and accepted the congratulations from everyone, the face of the eighth person was no longer purely happy... but also a little ashamed.

Because he condensed only a medium-grade Jindan.

The expressions of the disciples after him were also difficult to hide their dejection.

Master Tongming and others were watching from the stage, and they were even more puzzled:

The middle-grade golden elixir is a little bit worse, but is it necessary to do so?

Huh?

Why are you all in the Jiushan Sect so arrogant?

Master Tongming turned around and looked at the elite disciples he brought with him. He secretly calculated in his heart that among the hundreds of golden elixir cultivators, no more than fifteen had high-grade golden elixir!

Even so, they were the essence of his Baixian League disciples of the past few generations!

Looking at the face of the disciple on the stage who looked like he had lost his parents, he was very angry!

Zheng Fa understood the disciple's frustration...

He patted the man on the shoulder, smiled, and said: "After you go back, summarize the mistakes in the process of forming the elixir, so that future disciples can also learn some lessons."

The disciple in front of him lowered his head, his tone was muffled, but he did not refuse, and said: "Yes, disciples are not as good as Senior Brother Sun and others, but it is also good to make some contributions to the sect and remind the junior brothers a few words."

Obviously, he really understood Zheng Fa's thoughts.

Zheng Fa was relieved, patted him hard, and said with a smile: "It's just that the Dan is not so good, it's not irreversible."

The disciple suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Fa, and saw him smiling at him and nodded gently.

"...Yes!"

The disciple was immediately excited.

Tongming Master and others in the audience were even more confused...

No, you explain to me, what is the meaning of no regrets after Dan is completed?

What is the meaning of being able to recover?

Zheng Fa's words are simply nonsense.

But when Zheng Fa said this, not only this disciple, but also several disciples behind the team, all smiled happily, and they didn't doubt it at all.

Tongming Master:...

He thinks that the people in the Nine Mountains are a little bit wrong...

What Zheng Fa said was naturally the "Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method".

The group of disciples took the waist badges and walked to the back of the high platform, where the old generation of golden pill disciples gathered.

The number of Jindan disciples in the Jiushan Sect was only about a dozen originally, but now there are twice as many, and the changes are very noticeable.

What's more, among the former Jindan disciples, apart from Senior Sister Yuan, there was only one other male disciple of the high-grade Jindan.

Now that there are seven more high-grade golden elixirs, the strength is more than doubled?

As Sun Daoyu and the others approached, the faces of these older generation Golden Elixir disciples couldn't help but look a little gloomy... After all, the quality of their Golden Elixir was relatively low.

Looking at their faces, Sun Daoyu understood clearly and said softly: "Brother, why is this necessary?"

"Um?"

"I thought I wasted all these years in the foundation building stage, but because of the leader's breakthrough, I would be able to achieve a high-grade golden elixir... Now that the leader is already in the golden elixir stage, if I achieve the Nascent Soul, think about it..."

He didn't finish his sentence. But the faces of the old disciples around him changed, and they seemed to understand what he meant immediately.

Think again about what Zheng Fa said to the middle-grade golden elixir disciple just now...

In an instant, these old disciples, who were still a little lonely just now, all looked at Zheng Fa, wishing that their leader could achieve the golden elixir in one day and the Nascent Soul in three days...

Let people like them also enjoy the joy of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!

After the ceremony, Zheng Fa walked off the stage and specifically thanked the Nascent Souls from the outside world for watching the ceremony.

"It doesn't matter. We are lucky to see so many talented people."

A Nascent Soul cultivator said with a smile.

"Exactly! There are so many high-grade golden elixirs in your sect, which is eye-opening to me!"

“It’s not a worthwhile trip, it’s not a worthwhile trip!”

Everyone also praised, obviously feeling that they had gained more knowledge and were very satisfied with being able to participate in the Jiushan Sect's Golden Elixir Ceremony.

The only one who is dissatisfied is Master Tongming...

He looked at these people with confusion in his eyes:

What's the point of this trip?

Didn’t you come here at my invitation to observe the Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly?

Zheng Fa said a few words to everyone before talking about his purpose:

"Our Jiushan Sect opens the island and the market will open soon. At that time, a small auction will be held. If you are interested, you may wish to come and take a look."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Zheng Fa took out some colorful brochures from behind his back, handed them to them and said:

"These are the auction items prepared by our sect. By the way, our sect accepts both spiritual stones and magic weapons. If you want to sell something through our sect, you can also go to Senior Sister Zhang."

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

Seeing him leaving, everyone gathered together and briefly looked through the various auction items in the book. After reading, they all shook their heads.

"There doesn't seem to be anything good in the Nine Mountains Realm? Why are there so many Waidan?"

"Hmm, these magic weapons seem to be from the Great Freedom Demon Cult?"

"I remember this coffin belongs to the old man with the bronze coffin."

"Actually, it's not that bad. The background of Jiushan Sect is not deep."

Everyone nodded. After this Golden Elixir Ceremony, their expectations for the Jiushan Sect were suddenly much higher.

Looking at this book now, I feel a little disappointed.

Master Tongming also said: "The Nine Mountains Realm is barren, so many things must be purchased through our Hundred Immortals Alliance."

Hearing this, other Nascent Soul cultivators also understood that Jiu Shan Sect did not have many good things.

Needless to say, my heart suddenly felt a lot more balanced...

"Then are you going?"

"I'm not going, there's nothing I want."

"I'm not interested."

"I want to go take a look. The magic weapon of the Great Freedom Demon Cult also has its own unique features."

"I also want to buy some thunder spiritual materials."

Master Tongming estimated that most of the people were not interested in this auction.

He looked at Master Chengkong aside and saw that this man had not even read the pamphlet...

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Master Chengkong smiled and explained: "The Nine Mountains Realm is a kind of thunder material that is interesting, but what they auctioned is useless to me."

His tone was lazy, and he seemed to despise this so-called auction.

But Master Tongming also understood him...

Having become a Supreme Being, you don't need to be beaten a little.

Isn't it in vain to find such a big backer?

Not to mention not saying it in front of Zheng Fa, even in front of him, how dare Zheng Fa say anything?

To be honest, he wasn't planning to go either.

As an avatar, the things in this are of no use to him.

…

But Master Tongming was not in a hurry to leave. After all, some disciples and elders from the Hundred Immortals Alliance also wanted to visit the auction.

What's more, there is still a market that has opened the island, so it will only be delayed for a few more days, so he is not in a hurry.

At night, he heard a sudden cry from outside the surrounding yard.

He frowned, and with a glance of his consciousness, he knew that these were two foundation-building disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance talking.

"You mean, those Nine Mountains disciples' ability to condense high-grade golden elixirs is related to those external elixirs?"

"right!"

"Really or not?"

"How can this be false? My uncle's sister-in-law's brother used to be from the Jiushan Sect!" I heard another voice plausibly saying, "I can find out clearly!"

"Every one of this group of Jiushan Sect's Golden Elixir disciples has participated in some "Golden Elixir Project" course!"

"What is the Golden Elixir Project?"

"How could I know this? I just know that those Waidan are also related to the Golden elixir project!"

Master Tongming was stunned, his face immediately became serious, and he continued to listen.

"Is this true?"

"You don't believe it? Just in time, do you have a spiritual stone on you? Lend it to me, and I'll go to the auction to see if I can buy a foreign elixir!"

“…No!”

The two of them walked away, Master Tongming looked at the beams and had a plan in mind.

…

Three days later, at the door of a wide two-story wooden building on Jingkai Island, people were coming and going.

Master Tongming came to the door on time and looked into the building. He was stunned:

Hey, didn’t you say you didn’t want anything?

That someone, you!

Didn’t you say you weren’t interested?

He saw with his own eyes that the Yuanyings who had been unable to come before were all walking in!

“Tongming, why are you standing here?”

A familiar voice came from behind him, but he didn’t dare to recognize it.

He turned around suddenly and saw Master Chengkong standing behind him, also walking into the building.

"Emissary? Are you here to attend the auction as well?"

"Yes."

"You are not..."

"Yes?"

Master Chengkong glanced at him, and Master Tongming had to shut up. He could understand Master Chengkong:

After worshipping the Supreme Dao, he would not go back on his word and call a deer a horse...

Wasn't it a waste to find such a big backer?

He didn't dare to say anything.
