The Enshrining Courtyard is located in the northeast corner of Xincui Hall. It is a small flat-roofed courtyard hidden among pine trees.

When the wind blows, the surrounding pines are bursting with waves, and when the needles are turning, you can get a glimpse of many rare birds and animals living inside.

These beasts are not afraid of humans. When they saw Zhong Kuixi coming with Pei Ling, instead of panicking and running away, they actually watched with interest.

The two of them walked to the courtyard gate, but before they could reach out their hands, they saw the courtyard door creaking open, revealing the spacious courtyard inside.

The courtyard is open and can be seen at a glance. The ground is paved with blue bricks. In the corner is a tall pine tree that is the same as the one outside the courtyard. There are some birds standing on it and they are chirping.

There were numerous needles falling all over the courtyard, as if no one had taken care of them for a long time.

Zhong Kuixi deliberately walked in with a gentle step. Pei Ling noticed it and quickly followed suit.

I saw the Nineteenth Highness walking towards the first room on the left without hesitation. The room was very simple and did not even have a door. Standing in the corridor, you could see the layout of an alchemy room inside, with a man sitting in the corner.

An old man in a red robe and long beard was holding a piece of spiritual plant shaped like a dead tree, meditating hard.

From time to time, he would take out one or two medicinal materials from the storage bag at hand and gesticulate, as if thinking about some difficult problem.

When he noticed someone approaching, he didn't raise his head and just said casually: "Xiaojiu, if you don't think about the palace exam questions carefully, why are you here? I won't help you cheat for personal gain!"

"Zhu Gongfeng, how dare I disobey the laws of the imperial court?" Zhong Kuixi stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile, "I have tried eight times for the imperial examination questions, but failed in all. I am currently exhausted mentally and physically, so I plan to postpone it."

Keep talking."

"I'm here because this fellow Daoist Wang has already made up for his remaining expenses and plans to come and submit the exam questions."

"Huh?" When Zhu Gongfeng heard this, he paused in taking the medicinal materials. Then he looked up at Pei Ling and said quietly, "What is your exam question? Which four medicinal materials are missing?

"

Pei Ling said: "The exam question for this junior is to make up for the remaining recipe of the Five-Yuan Barrier-Breaking Pill. The four missing medicinal materials are the Mengmu tree, the grass, the wolfberry and the lychee."

Five Yuan Barrier Breaking Pill...

Zhu Gongfeng recalled briefly and nodded secretly. Yes, the main materials that were deliberately crossed out in this test question were indeed these four!

He was a little more serious and his tone was a little gentler: "Tell me about the two missing steps."

step?

Pei Ling's face froze, he was the system administrator, how could he know the steps?

Seeing Zhu Gongfeng and Zhong Kuixi staring closely at him, he said calmly: "This junior is a casual cultivator and has incomplete inheritance. I don't know how to describe many of the techniques and steps."

"In this way, this junior will refine a pot of Five-Yuan Barrier-Breaking Pill on the spot."

Saying that, without waiting for Zhu Gongfeng's consent, he quickly took out the turtle and crane auspicious elephant Taiping Ten Thousand Years Furnace, released the seal of a poisonous elixir in his body, and said silently in his heart: "System, I want to practice! One-click hosting [Alchemy·Five Elements"

Barrier Breaking Pill]!"

"Ding dong! The intelligent cultivation system is here to serve you wholeheartedly! One-click hosting, intelligent upgrade! Start hosting cultivation now. Please note: During cultivation, the host will lose control of the body, please don't panic..."

The system responded immediately, "Ding dong! The system starts to practice [Alchemy·Five Yuan Barrier Breaking Pill] for you..."

Seeing that he had already lit the fire, Zhu Gongfeng stroked his long beard and watched calmly.

Witnessing Pei Ling smoothly handling the medicinal materials, blending the elixir liquid, and regulating the elixir fire... In the end, Kui Xi was so mesmerized that his eyes could not blink, while Zhu Gongfeng had a dull expression until the furnace of elixir was almost finished refining.

At this time, he looked at Pei Ling's young face, and then felt the vitality in his body, and then nodded slightly.

Accurate, concise and smooth.

But it's a pity...

Although his alchemy techniques are extremely proficient and even impeccable, they lack spirituality.

Although there is no problem with the efficacy of the elixir refined in this way, it eventually falls into the trap and is unable to reach its true peak...

However, at this age, to be able to achieve such a level is considered a very talented junior.

A moment later, watching Pei Ling take out fifteen top-quality elixirs from the alchemy furnace, Zhu Gongfeng only glanced at them and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed a five-yuan barrier-breaking elixir. You passed."

Pei Ling was overjoyed. Before he could speak, Zhu Gongfeng asked: "Which one do you want, the reward for the top three in the palace exam, the earth-level skills collected in the secret treasury, the sixth-grade alchemy furnace, and the Nanke Menghuo?"

"Junior wants Nanke Menghuo." Pei Ling said without hesitation.

After hearing this, Zhu Chongfeng reached out his hand and grabbed the void very happily. Soon, a cluster of dreamlike, seemingly non-existent flames appeared in his palm.

With a thought in Zhu Gongfeng's mind, a group of ice crystals emerged out of thin air, sealing the flame inside.

The next moment, ice crystals wrapped in flames suddenly penetrated the space and appeared in front of Pei Ling.

Pei Ling put it into the storage bag with both hands and thanked him: "Thank you Zhu Chongfeng."

"This is what you deserve." Zhu Chongfeng said without paying much attention, "Bring me the documents for your participation in the palace examination."

Seeing Pei Ling take it out as instructed, he flipped his wrist and took a seal from nowhere. After sealing it, he intercepted a breath of his own and punched it into it. He immediately handed the document to Pei Ling, nodded slightly and said, "Inject

Your true energy stimulates it."

Pei Ling didn't know why, but he still did it.

Not much real energy had just been injected, when the document suddenly emitted a huge white light, covering him in an instant. The next moment, Pei Ling's entire body disappeared without a trace!

Seeing this scene, Kui Xi finally knew that Wang Gao had been transferred to the "Little Self-Heaven".

"Little Zizitian" can cleanse the body and soul of the person who enters it. The longer you stay inside, the better the effect will be.

However, only alchemists who passed the palace examination during the Alchemy Ceremony could enjoy the benefits of entering.

Those who pass the palace examination first will naturally have an advantage.

In the past, there were very few people like Wang Gao who were able to enter on the first day.

Not to mention, the questions in this palace examination are so difficult...

Thinking of this, Zhong Kuixi saw that Zhu Chongfeng's expression was still calm and couldn't help but ask: "Zhu Chongfeng, Wang Gao made up the remaining recipe in just one day. How did he do this?"

Zhu Gongfeng continued to take out the dead tree-like spiritual plant before and said softly: "I don't know."

Seeing that Kui Xi was hesitant to speak, and seemed to still want to entangle, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly, "Instead of wondering how others passed the palace examination on the first day, why not think more about how to solve your own examination questions?"

Without waiting for his answer, he flicked his sleeves.

Zhong Kuixi suddenly felt in a trance. When she came back to her senses, she was already standing outside the pine forest, and the clearly visible path behind her had disappeared. All she could see was the rustling of the pine forest and the birds and animals enjoying themselves.

He was stunned for a moment and unconsciously smiled to himself. Zhu Gongfeng said it right. The most important issue for him right now is not to find out other people's secrets, but to solve his own exam questions. With this thought in mind, Kui Xi finally stepped towards his own
Chapter completed!
