The identity verification was quick, and Lu Zhitai found no problems, so he called his subordinates and led the alchemist from Meiyang County to Xincui Pavilion.

This pavilion is some distance away from the teleportation array.

However, here at the teleportation array, in order to welcome alchemists from all over the world, a carriage drawn by alien beasts has been prepared. The carriage is equipped with space magic. It looks like a small carriage, but there is a world inside, just like a wide hall.

After getting in the car, the strange beast did not move immediately, but stood there snorting and waiting.

After a few moments, I felt the ground tremble slightly, and soon there seemed to be thunder. A row of knights, covered in armor, with ferocious ghost faces covering their faces, drove the strange beasts on their crotches, rushed to the side of the carriage, reined in their reins, and stopped for a moment. Then, there was silence.

After hearing the needle hit, the leading knight clasped his fists towards the carriage and saluted: "General He Lu, I have been ordered to escort all the alchemists to the Xincui Pavilion."

Next, the carriage drove slowly, escorted by the knights.

These knights surrounded the carriage airtightly. On the way, Zhou Miaoli lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, as if he wanted to take in the scenery of Lujing. However, looking out, he saw only the firm and cold figures of the knights.

She shook her head slightly and lowered the car curtain.

After a while, the carriage rolled into a pavilion and stopped in the open space in front of the main hall.

The leading knight turned his mount, walked to the side of the car and said in a deep voice: "Dear alchemists, the Xincui Pavilion has arrived. Please get off the car and enter the pavilion."

Following his instructions, everyone got off the carriage and entered the main hall not far away to register.

And here, their identities were checked again. After confirming that they were correct, a jade plaque was issued to everyone according to their ranking: "The residences of all the alchemists have been prepared."

"Next, Hetong will lead you there."

"As for the test questions, they are already in the room. You can see them when you enter."

Pei Ling was startled when he heard this, but Ye Manyue also asked in surprise: "Is the palace examination starting now?"

"That's right." The monk in charge of registration replied calmly. At the beginning of the Alchemy Ceremony, the palace examination was held after the interview with the saint, and was presided over by the emperor himself, who answered the questions in front of the palace.

But later, more and more alchemy ceremonies were held, and more and more alchemists participated.

Even after three rounds of eliminations including the audition, government examination, and county examination, there are still not a few alchemists who have made it to the palace examination.

Moreover, due to the participation of overseas casual cultivators, these people were inevitably mixed. Even when they arrived at the imperial court, many casual cultivators who were used to being wanton often behaved rudely and rudely, causing some disturbances.

Therefore, a long time ago, the palace examination was moved to a larger venue, and the emperor no longer attended the event in person. However, everyone was used to the name of this examination, and it never changed.

All the alchemists are also aware of this, and no one questions the venue at this moment.

only……

Xun Wuyan frowned and asked, "But I don't know how long it will take to answer the questions?"

"Within ten days." The monk said, "During this period, you can come and go freely, and you are allowed to discuss with each other. In addition, there is an Alchemy Tower in the Xincui Pavilion, in which many Alchemy classics in the Royal Library are reproduced.

There is also a herb farm behind the museum, where medicinal materials are planted all over, and with the jade sign, you can go in and pick them at any time."

"However, there is a certain amount of medicinal materials picked. The first one in the county examination is worth one thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, the second place is half of that, the third one is half more, and the next one is even less..."

"If you exceed the amount, you need to pay spiritual stones or resources."

"In short, the main constraints of this palace examination are: first, you cannot leave the scope of the Xincui Pavilion; second, you are strictly prohibited from threatening or intimidating your companions; third, everyone's test questions are different, and you are not allowed to exchange test questions."

"Other means are not limited."

Hearing this, Pei Ling couldn't help but frown. After being sent to the palace, he would directly test. How would he leave next?

Deliberately eliminated?

This method is not impossible, but the rules give ten days. If he said no at the beginning, he would probably be made to wait for ten days...

The other people's faces didn't look good either.

Alchemists are allowed to communicate with each other, and the Alchemy Tower and Baicao Village are prepared... As expected, the questions in this palace examination must be very difficult!

Otherwise it would be impossible to give such loose conditions!

As if seeing everyone's perseverance, the monk in charge of registration smiled and said: "Because the rules have been changed for this palace examination, the rewards have also been adjusted."

"Just talking about the top three, the imperial court has prepared an earth-level technique stored in the secret vault, a sixth-grade alchemy furnace and a seventh-grade alchemy fire for the alchemist to choose according to the ranking."

"There is no need to talk too much about the value of the Earth Level Kung Fu."

"The sixth-grade alchemy furnace is not a finished product. It will be made by Master Chongzhi after the alchemist determines the ranking. It will be customized according to the specific requirements of the alchemist!"

"It should be noted that although Master Chongzhi's works have occasionally leaked out in recent years, he has not accepted custom orders for many years."

"This time, it was the imperial court that came forward and promised many benefits to convince him to make an exception."

"Master Chongzhi's level of skill in forging the alchemy furnace must be familiar to all of you."

"Not to mention that it is made according to the specific requirements of the alchemist?"

"As for the seventh-grade pill fire... have you ever heard of Nanke Menghuo?"

"Nanke Menghuo?" Hearing this, Xun Wuyang and Nangongsu exclaimed in surprise. Seeing that the others had not yet reacted, Nangongsu took the lead in explaining, "This is the leader among the seven levels of spiritual fire in my Panya Realm.

There is no one like it! It has miraculous effects in purifying medicinal materials and condensing elixirs."

"Moreover, its purifying effect is also effective for monks to form pills!"

"If you can get this fire during the foundation building stage, when you form the elixir, your level can be improved on the original basis!"

Dan fire that can improve the level of pill formation?

Pei Ling was just thinking about how to escape from the Xincui Pavilion, change his identity and run away, when he heard this, he was startled.

After reacting, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Don’t rush to escape from the dynasty, there’s no way to leave for the time being anyway… Let’s get the free elixir fire first!

Not only was he excited, but others were also attracted by the prizes. For a time, their worries about the difficulty of the test questions dropped a lot.

Soon, the monk in charge of registration called a group of crane boys and took them to their respective residences.

The so-called crane boy is actually the crane demon in its form.

From the outside, they look like handsome boys of seven or eight years old, all with pink makeup and lively eyes. They are wearing wide robes with white background and black edges, and small red crowns on their heads.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is a cluster of snow-white feathers behind their ears, highlighting their alien status.

After leaving the main hall, under the leadership of the crane boys, the fifteen alchemists from Meiyang County were quickly dispersed into the lush flowers and trees of the Xincui Pavilion.

Pei Ling was led through numerous branches, courtyards, pavilions, and ponds, and finally stopped in front of a small, independent courtyard adjacent to a stream.

The crane boy who was leading him reminded him crisply: "This alchemist, please take out the jade tablet and you can enter."

He took out the jade plaque as he was told, and saw a foot-wide formation suddenly appeared on the ancient-looking gate of the small courtyard. The faint light flickered. When it passed by the jade plaque, there was a burst of dazzling light. Immediately, the courtyard door became silent.

Open without interest.

Hetong said: "Food and water will be delivered to the door every day. If the alchemist has any requirements, he can give orders at any time."

As it spoke, it suddenly lost its human body and quickly transformed into a red-crowned crane as tall as a man. It quickly flapped its wings and flew up to a high branch not far away. As it flew, it said: "The little one is right here, waiting for the alchemist to call you at any time."

Pei Ling cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Then we walked into the small courtyard.

The courtyard occupies a large area. An octagonal pavilion is built on the left hand side. Outside the pavilion, there are more than ten kinds of exotic flowers and plants, surrounded by flowers. On the right side is a lotus pond of about half an acre, with flowers and leaves in it, fish and shrimps playing.

Feeling at ease.

He looked at it for a moment, then walked through the courtyard and walked into the main hall of the small building.

Just as I opened the door to the main hall, the system prompt sounded in my ears: "Ding dong! A strange prescription has been detected, and the system is collecting it for you..."

He couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously glanced at the main hall in front of him.

In front of me, I saw a floor-to-ceiling screen with colorful paintings of animals holding medicines. After turning around the screen, I saw a hall paved with an azure ground with entangled branches and angustifolia patterns. There was an ivory hanging screen behind the main seat, and half-person-high plum vases were placed on the left and right.

, inserting several Luan bird tail feathers. Those tail feathers are brilliant and beautiful.

Moreover, there were faint fluctuations in spiritual power, which seemed to have the ability to dispel dust, water and fire.

Under the main seat, there are two rows of seats facing each other, and green bead bowls, which are exquisitely furnished. On the left and right sides of the main hall, there is a hollow moon cave door with a hundred treasures. At this moment, some magical instruments and furnishings are occasionally placed in the grid. The moon cave door

Then a bead curtain made of thumb-sized pearls was used to block it, preventing people from seeing clearly what was going on inside.
