When Shi Wanli heard this, he was not surprised. After all, although Master Wang Gao's alchemy skills were already miraculous in the eyes of ordinary people, he himself was striving for excellence.

I made five furnaces of the best form-changing elixir last night, but I'm still not satisfied.

Now that I first arrived in the county, it was natural for me to think about further studying alchemy.

Maybe it's because of his pursuit of perfection that he was able to achieve such achievements at such a young age.

With this in mind, Shi Wanli thought for a moment, and then said: "Master, it's like this, elixirs, spells, magical powers, etc. are all important weapons of the country, and they are not sold in ordinary cities. Meiyang City is the capital of the county.

, but there are channels.”

"Generally speaking, there are three places where you can buy elixirs."

"The first one is Anminhao in the city, which is run by the government. Anminhao is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs and sells everything needed for people's livelihood."

"Although its price is a bit expensive compared to ordinary shops, it is most reliable with my endorsement from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"But the elixirs in the shop are all for the Qi training period. I'm afraid they are of limited value to the master."

"The second one is to become a master of any academy in the dynasty."

"With the master's strength, there will be no problem in passing the teacher examination, even if it is the Yulin Academy's teacher examination!"

"It's just that in addition to the alchemy test, the master requires an extremely complicated origin investigation. I'm afraid that if the master applies immediately, it won't be implemented before the county examination starts."

"The last channel is the trade fair between alchemists."

"This kind of trade fair only allows alchemists who have obtained the imperial alchemist qualification to enter. It not only involves the transaction of alchemy prescriptions, but also the exchange of various elixirs, materials, news, etc."

"It's just that this trade is conducted privately and is not an imperial organization, so the authenticity of the items inside cannot be guaranteed. We can only rely on our own eyesight."

After hearing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly.

An Minhao, this shop sounds similar to Chongming Sect's Baibaolou. With his wealth, the price is not a problem, but as Shi Wanli said, the elixirs during the Qi training period are indeed of no use to him.

In the county examination, it is impossible to test such simple questions.

As for the college teachers...

The purpose of his coming to the Liuhu Dynasty was to increase his knowledge, sharpen his mind, and prepare for the first-grade golden elixir. What kind of master should he become?

And not to mention the risks of background checks, to be a teacher is not only to be able to make alchemy, but also to explain many issues in alchemy to students.

Although his alchemy skills are extremely high, he is not good at words...

The only option left is a trade fair between alchemists.

Whether the prescription is true or false is not a big problem for Pei Ling. Anyway, as long as it is true, the system will definitely prompt for automatic inclusion. If it is false, there will be no response.

Thinking of this, Pei Ling said: "May I ask when and where this alchemist trade fair will be held?"

"Master came just in time." Everyone in Shi Wanli Naichan Tower naturally knew a lot about this matter. They made some calculations and said immediately, "There will be a trade fair in Geyuan in the south of the city in three days. I will escort you there.

You go."

Pei Ling nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then thought that since the county has a way to buy elixirs, can he also buy righteous magic and magical powers?

If so, it would undoubtedly be extremely convenient for him.

So, he asked again: "Where are the magic and magical powers sold?"

"Master, there are some magic techniques in Anmin." Shi Wanli heard this and shook his head slightly, "But they are the most basic ones. Once you learn them, you can at most make it easier to do the cleaning work, but they are of no great use."

"After you have learned ordinary casual cultivation, you can just make a living by doing it."

"As a master, there is no need to waste time."

"On the contrary, the rewards from the county examination are many times stronger than those low-level spells."

"As for magical powers, they are not sold anywhere in the city."

"Similar to the elixir prescriptions above the Qi training stage, there are only three ways to obtain them: one is the reward of the elixir discussion ceremony; the other is to become a teacher of a college above the county level, and make great contributions to the college, and become the head of the Confucian School

To apply, you can go to the county treasury to make a selection; the third step is to pass the examination of Xianke and become an official in the court."

Hearing this, Pei Ling nodded secretly and understood in his heart. It seems that although the Liuhu Dynasty is the right way, it also cherishes and strictly controls the truly powerful magic spells, magical powers, elixirs, etc., and strictly controls them.

Teach people easily.

However, this is normal.

Not to mention whether outsiders would stay in the dynasty and serve in the dynasty if they could easily learn it, but if the conditions for practicing the dynasty's powerful skills, spells, magical powers, etc. were too simple, then the four major demon sects would have sent demons long ago.

Xiu Qian came and learned all these things.

With the demonic sect's strength greatly increased, what can the Liuhu Dynasty do to fight against the demonic way?

Thinking of this, Pei Ling's heart trembled slightly. It seemed that it would be easiest to pass the county examination to obtain the spells and magical powers of the Liuli Dynasty.

While the two were talking, the boat slowly moored in front of a long stone staircase.

Above the long steps is a spacious square.

Behind the square is a majestic and huge mansion, with a plaque with gold paint on a black background and the three characters "Baigong Ya" written in flying phoenixes.

It is the county's Baigong Yamen.

Different from Xicheng, in front of the Baigong Yamen in Meiyang City, the gates and courtyards were deserted and there were only a few cars and horses, but no one was there.

Considering that most alchemists are still participating in auditions in various places, and only fifth-grade alchemists can come directly to the county to register, the current leisure here is normal.

However, even though there were very few people, the Baigong Yamen in the county and city still gave people a feeling of being heavily guarded.

Although almost no one came in and out at the moment, the guard at the door authorized Shi Wanli to accompany Pei Ling inside. However, after entering, he saw only one post every three steps, one sentry every five steps, and a team of high-level monks patrolling from time to time.

Like facing a formidable enemy.

After a while, Pei Ling was led through the courtyard by Shi Wanli and entered a study room.

This study room is spacious and bright, with few furnishings.

There is nothing except a table, two chairs and a wall full of bookshelves.

So much so that Shi Wanli could only stand aside.

The person responsible for receiving the alchemists who arrived in the county in advance to prepare for the county examination was a middle-aged monk in black robes.

This man has a square face, his long hair is tied back meticulously, and even his beard is neatly trimmed. His robes are evenly pressed, and even the many documents and the Four Treasures of the Study are placed on the table in front of him.

It is well organized, looks extremely capable and standardized.

He seriously inspected Pei Ling's fifth-grade alchemist jade pendant, and repeatedly interrogated Pei Ling's name, age and origin, then took out a seal from the storage bag and said calmly: "This alchemist, according to the

According to imperial regulations, I need to check your cultivation and bone age."

Before Pei Ling could answer, the seal had already emitted a wave of waves that enveloped his whole body.

For a moment, the seal showed no response.

The middle-aged monk in black robes nodded slightly and said: "There are no problems with your cultivation and bone age. However, I would like to ask the alchemist to follow me to the alchemy room and refine a furnace of elixirs in person to confirm your identity as a fifth-grade alchemist.

"

Pei Ling frowned and said, "What kind of elixir are you refining?"

"Any elixir will do," said the middle-aged monk in black robes, "As long as the elixir is of the highest quality."

Shi Wanli explained in a low voice: "Master, it's like this. In the past, there were demon cultivators who sneaked into the alchemy ceremony with the intention of causing trouble. Therefore, the alchemists who come to register for the county examination now need to refine another batch of elixirs in person.

To prevent counterfeiting.”

"This move is also for the safety of the alchemists."

Hearing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly.

It’s just a matter of one word about hosting, so it’s not difficult at all.

So the middle-aged monk in Xuanpao made arrangements and soon took them to the alchemy room.

This alchemy room is located in an independent forest, surrounded by formations and restrictions. After entering, you can see that there are already more than ten people inside.

Among these people, there were only three monks wearing alchemist robes who looked like examiners. The others all had expressionless faces and cold expressions. They were emitting powerful fluctuations and made no secret of their wariness towards Pei Ling.

Pei Ling didn't say much when he saw this. He secretly released the seal of a poison pill in his body and said in his heart: "System, I want to practice! One-click hosting of [Alchemy·Peiyuan Pill]."

It didn't take long for everyone to look at the thirty top-quality Yuan-Pui Dan that was freshly baked. Everyone was obviously startled for a moment, but soon they returned to their expressionless faces. The middle-aged monk in black robe recorded Pei Ling's situation.

After coming down, he immediately took out a jade document, inserted a ray of his own aura, and asked Pei Ling to also insert a true essence mark, and said lightly: "This is the voucher for admission to the county examination. Please accept it well, the alchemist."

Tube."

"If it is lost or damaged, you will have to pay a fee for replacement."

"And it takes time to reapply, so don't miss the county exam because of this."

Then he added: "The auditions will end this month, and the next ten days will be the prefecture examinations everywhere."

"After the government examination is completed, the county examination will begin."

"When the county examination begins, the certificate will be changed to prevent the alchemist from forgetting the time."

"At that time, please ask the alchemist to come to Baigong Yamen in time."

"In addition, during the Alchemy Ceremony, you can use this voucher to go to the county capital to apply for a free alchemist's cave."

Pei Ling nodded slightly, took the voucher and said, "Thank you."
