"Don't worry, Master!" Shi Wanli quickly replied. With two alchemists already killed in the city, Master Wang Gao learned that he was being targeted by the demon cultivator. At this moment, regarding this ban in the city, the demon cultivator arrested him.

You must be very concerned about things.

Thinking of this, Shi Wanli said loudly, "Not only has this ban not changed, but it has been enforced more strictly!"

"In order to prevent demon cultivators from taking advantage of the situation, even mortals are not allowed to leave the city now."

"Moreover, the formation of the county city has been fully opened. Whether it is teleportation talismans, magic spells, magical powers...even the flying instinct of demon birds, if they enter within a hundred miles of the county city, they will all be banned."

"And once the formation restriction is triggered, the city will receive news, and the experts from the county capital will rush to the scene within a few breaths to ensure that the demon cultivator does not appear. If it does, there will be absolutely nowhere to escape!

"

Pei Ling frowned slightly and said, "Wouldn't it be very inconvenient for ordinary cultivators and ordinary people?"

"It is indeed a bit inconvenient." Shi Wanli explained, "But for the smooth progress of the Alchemy Ceremony and the safety of all alchemy masters, it is worth it."

"Moreover, during the lockdown period, the dynasty also gave certain compensation to everyone in the city."

"So now most monks and mortals support this!"

"Even because of the imperial dynasty's wanted order, which offered numerous rewards, many monks spontaneously formed teams and traveled around, trying to find traces of the demonic cultivators..."

"Of course, the imperial court does not approve of this kind of move."

"After all, the demon cultivators of the four major demon sects are very powerful."

"Even if you are in the imperial dynasty and dare not make a big fuss, there is danger after all...These days, the county capital is also sending people to persuade you."

Master Wang Gao once again hinted that the dynasty was not Wan Feihai. The ordinary monks under his rule had no fear of the four major demon sects and even regarded them as mobile bounties. Shi Wanli said seriously, "In short, the demon cultivators will not be able to survive for a day."

Otherwise, the county will not let down its vigilance for a day!"

Hearing this, Pei Ling's heart sank.

Now unless Zhou Miaoli is executed, he will not be able to leave the city!

But Zhou Miaoli already knew his identity. Once exposed, with the friendship between Chongming Sect, he would not forget to drag him into trouble.

By then, he will also be dead!

Wait, there is another way out of the city...

That is to pass the county examination, and then go to the imperial capital to take the imperial examination!

During the Alchemy Ceremony, no matter how tight the security of the Liuhu Dynasty was, it was impossible not to allow the alchemist to continue to participate in the ceremony.

Thinking of this, Pei Ling sighed inwardly. After wandering around for a long time, he returned to the starting point...

The two chatted for a few more words, and Shi Wanli left the alchemy furnace behind and left.

Pei Ling was the only one left in the cave. He looked at the golden, jade, lion, camel, mandarin duck, and vase furnace in front of him. He was about to take charge of a furnace and try out the effect of this new alchemy furnace, but there was movement in the transmission notes.

He took it out and saw that it was Zhou Miaoli. After activating it, Zhou Miaoli's voice immediately came: "The government examination has begun, and the topic is to refine Zhuyan Dan."

"It is required that within ten furnaces, at least one elixir will become a top grade one."

"Is there a problem?"

Pei Ling's face was gloomy, but due to his strength, he could only say quietly: "No problem."

Zhou Miaoli was very satisfied: "Okay! Then I will go to take the imperial examination right away. Just like last time, I will start refining the Zhuyan Dan after half an hour."

"Refining ten furnaces in a row."

After saying that, he simply cut off the call.

Half an hour later, Pei Ling took charge of the elixir refining as agreed.

Soon, the refining of the ten furnaces of Zhuyan Dan was completed, and the process went very smoothly without any accidents.

Moreover, the new alchemy furnace is indeed more convenient to use than the previous one.

Even the amount of real energy required for refining has been reduced by a small amount.

After helping Zhou Miaoli cheat to pass the test, Pei Ling began to practice.

After the government examination, there will be the county examination. If you want to leave the county now, the only way is to pass the county examination...

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

Inside the cave, the training room.

The spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array gathered like a tide, and the fiery aura surged. After a long time, all the aura and spiritual energy were swallowed up by Pei Ling.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the azure light flashed away in his eyes, and the aura around him seemed to have improved again.

It was like a seed that was about to sprout, ready to move, but something was missing after all. After a moment of excitement, it returned to calm.

Just when Pei Ling was about to continue his training, a strange fluctuation came from the jade document in the storage bag.

He took out the document and saw a line of elegant cloud seals immediately appearing on the jade stone: The county examination has begun. Within three days, go to the county seat Baigong Yamen for the assessment. If you are overdue, you will not wait.

The next moment, Zhou Miaoli's transmission talisman lit up.

Pei Ling took out the transmission talisman and activated it, and Zhou Miaoli's voice came out: "The county examination has begun. Within three days, everyone can go to the assessment. You and I must not be in the same place, otherwise our alchemy techniques will be exactly the same, and we will start and end at the same time.

The examiner will definitely notice it."

Hearing this, Pei Ling immediately said: "I don't know what the test questions are yet, so I will take it first, and you can go again after I pass."

Zhou Miaoli said briefly: "Okay."

Before he finished speaking, the transmission note dimmed.

Pei Ling immediately got up and tidied up, and was about to go out, but he immediately thought that he was currently a casual cultivator being targeted by the devil. If he was not vigilant enough when he came in and out, he might arouse suspicion.

To be cautious, he immediately took out Shi Wanli's transmission talisman. After activating it, he said directly: "Master Shi, I want to go over to take the county examination. I wonder if you can come and escort me?"

"Master Wang, wait a moment, I'll come over immediately!" Shi Wanli agreed without any hesitation.

Not long after, he arrived at the door of Pei Ling's cave. After confirming his identity, Pei Ling walked out of the cave.

Shi Wanli accompanied Pei Ling to the Baigong Yamen in the county seat, and said comfortingly: "Master Wang, after taking the county examination this time, you can go to the imperial capital immediately. By then, you don't need to worry about the problem of magic cultivation."

Pei Ling said without comment: "Master Shi, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

"Master's words are serious." Shi Wanli said quickly, "This is a matter within my authority."

The county seat Baigong Yamen is not far from the county capital, and Dongfu is adjacent to the county capital. With the distance of two people, there is no need to deliberately speed up, and they will arrive quickly.

After two rounds of screening, the audition and the provincial examination, there are already far fewer alchemists who can enter the county examination.

However, during the county examination, only alchemists with admission certificates are still allowed to enter Baigong Yamen.

So, just like before, Shi Wanli waited outside, and after Pei Ling presented the documents, he went in alone.

The last time Pei Ling came to sign up, the county's Baigong Yamen had one guard post every five steps and one sentry post ten steps away, which can be said to be heavily guarded.

But now that the county examination has begun, looking around, the original sentry has disappeared.

But this did not mean that the Baigong Yamen had relaxed its vigilance. From the moment he stepped through the threshold until he reached the first level of the hanging flower door, Pei Ling felt at least dozens of divine thoughts sweeping through his body!

The current guards are increasing instead of decreasing, and they are stronger than the previous guards!

Beside the Chuihua Gate, there are servants in green clothes arranged by Baigong Yamen, who are responsible for leading the alchemist.

Soon, Pei Ling was taken into a side room.
Chapter completed!
