Chapter 85 After the Competition, Wei Chang's Jealousy
With the end of the last game, the inner sect competition came to an end.
Feng Qingyun, the nephew of Feng Qiwu, the head of the Spirit Beast Academy, won the first place in the inner sect competition with his undisputed strength and became a true disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect.
In addition, another outstanding inner sect disciple Liu Shuran was also favored by the foundation-building elder Ye Yunyin, and was accepted as a personal disciple and included in the list of true disciples of the sect.
This inner sect competition has special significance.
Because after the New Year, the sect disciple recruitment ceremony, which is also held every ten years, will be held.
The disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect are divided into generations of fifty years, and this time the 103rd generation of disciples will be recruited.
Therefore, the 102nd generation of disciples will be collectively promoted to the generation of uncles and uncles.
Cao Rui is young, but because the beast jade pendant is the 101st generation disciple, Cao Rui will be directly promoted to the generation of the master after the New Year.
And the generation of the sect master Lu Jiuxiao will be promoted to the generation of the great master.
For the sect, the fact that the sect's generation cycle has reached this level can be said to have great historical and symbolic significance.
This means that the sect has gone through a complete cycle and entered a new stage of development.
This kind of inheritance and continuation is an important part of the sect's culture and the foundation of the sect's prosperity and stability.
Therefore, the disciple recruitment activity in the spring will surely become a major event for the sect, attracting the attention of many immortal cultivation forces.
If the Spirit Beast Sect can find one or two top talents with outstanding spiritual roots in this recruitment ceremony, it will be great.
In addition to the true disciples determined by the inner sect competition, the disciple assessment of the Alchemy Academy is also highly concerned by the disciples in the sect.
After all, the Alchemy Academy is considered to be a relatively outstanding academy in the Spirit Beast Sect, and in today's era, every cultivator cannot do without elixirs.
Being able to enter the Alchemy Academy to learn alchemy is a dream come true for many disciples with alchemy talent.
And this time, because of Cao Rui's intervention, Sun Haoran, who failed in alchemy, was allowed to join the Alchemy Academy as an exception.
This made Sun Haoran, who was previously unknown, become a famous figure in the sect who could be compared with the two true disciples.
You know, Cao Rui is the head of the Alchemy Academy. He personally named Sun Haoran to join the Alchemy Academy, which is undoubtedly a great affirmation of Sun Haoran's talent and potential.
Such an honor made Sun Haoran famous among the inner disciples and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Sun Haoran himself was flattered. He never thought that he would receive so much attention one day.
When Sun Haoran returned to Chaori Peak Cave to pack his luggage, people recognized him and greeted him wherever he went.
Familiar inner disciples all congratulated Sun Haoran.
"Brother Sun, it is fate that our caves are next to each other. Don't refuse me when I ask you to make pills in the future."
"Brother Sun, you are valued by the head of the Alchemy Institute. It is only a matter of time before you become a formal alchemist in the future. Congratulations in advance!"
"Brother Sun, you are still talented. Unlike me, I participated in two inner sect competitions in a row, but I still didn't get the chance to pass on the true teachings. Now I am nearly fifty years old, and I am afraid that I have no hope of building a foundation..."
No matter who congratulated him, Sun Haoran always thanked him seriously and replied.
In fact, he has been in the sect for nine years, and he has only been in the inner sect for one year.
The most affectionate ones are the outer sect disciples who have lived and eaten together for eight years.
However, their cultivation talents are too low. They are still struggling in the early stage of Qi Refining. They cannot break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining. They are destined to be different from Sun Haoran in the future.
"Alchemy Institute... I'm coming."
After packing his luggage, Sun Haoran returned the cave in Chaori Peak and rushed to the Alchemy Institute, the holy place of the sect in his mind.
Some are happy, some are sad.
While Sun Haoran excitedly rushed to the Alchemy Academy to report.
A jealous gaze was watching Sun Haoran leave from a distance.
This person is called Wei Chang, over fifty years old, with the cultivation of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and has participated in three alchemy assessments.
He is determined to become an alchemist.
He has been defeated repeatedly.
The failures of the first two times did not defeat him.
Instead, he accepted the sect's tasks every day in exchange for spiritual medicine, and continued to spend a lot of resources on improving his alchemy skills.
This third time, although the random pill formula was not his best bigu pill, but the detoxification pill, Wei Chang made sufficient preparations, and he could also make a good detoxification pill!
With a strong belief, the refining process of the detoxification pill went smoothly.
It even exceeded Wei Chang's usual level.
He originally thought he had already won.
According to the tradition of the Alchemy Academy, the Alchemy Academy recruits three disciples to enter the Alchemy Academy for each assessment. His performance, dare not say the first, but the top three is definitely no problem.
Just when he was fantasizing about being able to enter the Alchemy Academy.
The head of the Alchemy Academy suddenly made an exception and let Sun Haoran, who was blowing up the furnace next to him, join the Alchemy Academy.
This abnormal situation gave Wei Chang a bad feeling.
Sure enough, in the list of promotions announced by the Alchemy Academy deacon later.
Because Sun Haoran took up a place, only the top two were allowed to advance.
He ranked third in the comprehensive score and had no chance to be admitted to the Alchemy Academy.
"Sun Haoran, you took my place!"
"I, Wei Chang, swear to be incompatible with you!"
"And that damn head of the Alchemy Academy, damn it!"
Wei Chang cursed in his heart, venting his dissatisfaction.
A figure's face appeared in Wei Chang's mind uncontrollably.
That was a mysterious man I met when I went out of the mountain gate to look for spiritual medicine to hone my alchemy skills.
He bewitched Wei Chang, saying that he would give him a large amount of spiritual stones or other rewards if he placed a formation plate in the mountain gate of the Spirit Beast Sect.
Wei Chang knew that this was a treasonous act. Growing up in the Spirit Beast Sect and having deep feelings for the sect, Wei Chang flatly rejected the man's bewitching.
And now, Wei Chang, whose heart was filled with jealousy and hatred, had been overwhelmed.
Go and trade with that man...
Otherwise, his immortal cultivation career would be over.
Originally, Wei Chang had a good talent for immortal cultivation, but after being obsessed with alchemy, he had not yet broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining at the age of fifty.
In the end, he did not even join the Alchemy Academy, which could be said to have wasted his cultivation time in vain.
Wei Chang quickly made up his mind, summoned his Thousand Feather Crane, and quietly left the sect...
...
In the Alchemy Academy
Sun Haoran had just chosen his bedroom in the back hall of the Alchemy Institute and the alchemy room in the middle hall.
He was called to Cao Rui.
Cao Rui did not hesitate to take out the Green Flame Alchemy and handed it to Sun Haoran.
"You have the dual attributes of fire and wood, which is suitable for practicing this alchemy. There are many techniques of wood making fire."
"This is the Green Flame Alchemy passed down by the previous head, Han Yuansheng." Cao Rui said.
"Han, the head?" Sun Haoran certainly knew the former head of the Alchemy Institute. It was said that he was killed by the monks of Yunshui Sect when he went out to look for spiritual medicine.
Sun Haoran immediately felt that the Green Flame Alchemy passed down to him was heavy.
Cao Rui waved his hand:
"Go, if you have any questions about cultivation, gather at the end of the month to ask me."
"I will come out of seclusion for one day at the end of each month."
Sun Haoran nodded in response.
"By the way, I asked the steward to give you three times the space for your trial materials. Use them well." Cao Rui added.
If the disciples of the Alchemy Academy want to improve their alchemy skills, they must constantly try to refine spiritual pills. The saying that alchemists are made of spiritual stones is not groundless.
Every disciple who joins the Alchemy Academy will have a quota of spiritual medicines for regular trials.
This is also the reason why the Alchemy Academy only limits three people to join the Alchemy Academy. In fact, there are too many disciples, and the materials for the disciples to try are not enough.
As for Sun Haoran, Cao Rui saw that he had a good talent for alchemy and wanted to train him as a successor.
At the fourth level of Qi Refining, he learned to make fire from wood without a teacher, and he used it well. This alchemy talent is visible to the naked eye.
Alchemy talent is different from spiritual root talent and cannot be visualized. Sun Haoran's alchemy talent would probably be buried without Cao Rui's excavation.
If Sun Haoran can be cultivated and replace Cao Rui to refine most of the pills, especially the most important Huanglong Pill, then Cao Rui will be much easier.
"Master, I...can't repay you enough!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Seeing Cao Rui think so highly of him, Sun Haoran was so excited that he kowtowed to Cao Rui three times before leaving like a chicken with blood pumped up.
