I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 121 Danhua Town

Outside Xinyuefang Market.

"Ningning, listen to your godfather on the way and don't act naughty. Do you hear me?"

Li Caiwei tidied up Shi Ning's clothes and gave him earnest instructions.

Her two sons were going to join the immortal sect one after another. As a mother, she was extremely reluctant to let them go.

But no matter how reluctant you are, you can't ruin your child's future.

Shi Ning also choked up and said with reluctance: "Mother, I will listen to my godfather, don't worry."

“If you successfully pass the entrance test and join the Danding Sect, you must be smart inside.

"Don't cause trouble, and don't let others bully you.

"If you find a good master, you must listen to him carefully...

"Chiliguala, wu la wu la..."

Listening to Li Caiwei's almost non-stop nagging, Shi Ning's expression gradually changed from reluctance to a little dull, and finally a hint of impatience.

"Mother, I know. If you keep talking, it will be dark soon."

Seeing that Li Caiwei seemed unable to stop, Shi Ning quickly spoke up and interrupted Li Caiwei's instructions.

"You kid, you're already getting impatient after your mother has only said a few words."

Li Caiwei rolled her eyes in annoyance, then looked at Song Jie and said with a smile: "Brother Song, Ningning is in your hands."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will protect Xiao Ning."

Song Jie smiled slightly, feeling a little emotional.

Every parent is probably like this, hoping that their children can stay with them, but at the same time not daring to hinder their children's future.

After saying goodbye, Song Jie took Shi Ning and Jin Jiao and got on a carriage, ready to go to Danding Sect with the main force.

As one of the five major sects in Yunmo Continent, Danding Sect rarely recruits disciples. Naturally, it is impossible that Shi Ning is the only one from Xinyue Market who goes to participate in the entrance trial.

Several monks who had been living in the Shiwan Mountains for many years seized this opportunity and formed a temporary escort team.

Although the number of monks forming the escort team is small, their cultivation is quite high.

The leader was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and the lowest among the others was at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Such a lineup is enough to reassure parents who are planning to send their children to Danding Sect to participate in the entrance trial.

Many parents have signed up their children to join this escort team.

The escort fee is calculated per person, fifty spirit stones per person.

Before sending Shi An to Qiyun Immortal Sect, Shi Lei had already helped Song Jie and Shi Ning pay the spirit stones in advance and signed up to join the escort team.

At this time, other boys and girls who were preparing to go to Danding Sect to participate in the entrance trial also said goodbye to their families one after another.

Most of these boys and girls were accompanied by a parent, and only a few went alone.

Not long after, the carriages started moving, and the huge convoy headed towards the direction of Danding Sect.

……

Two days later.

Inside the carriage where Song Jie was.

Shi Ning was looking at the surrounding scenery curiously through the window of the carriage.

He had never left Xinyue Market since he was born, and this was his first time traveling far away.

“Godfather, I’ve heard from my father since I was a child that the world outside is very dangerous.

"Now it seems that it is not that dangerous...

“I feel that the world outside the market is much more interesting than the world inside the market.

“There are dense forests, open grasslands, and many small animals that cannot be seen in the market.

“And camping outside at night is fun too!”

Song Jie touched Shi Ning's head and said with a smile: "Your father didn't lie to you.

“The world outside is indeed much more dangerous than the city, but you just haven’t seen the danger yet.

“The monks who formed this caravan have all been in the Shiwan Mountains for many years and are very experienced.

“The route we are taking now is a relatively safe route that they have carefully selected.

“When you have cultivated successfully and venture out on your own, you will know the true situation of the outside world.

"Don't be blinded by what's happening in front of you. When you go out, you must be more careful.

"Be careful and you will be safe..."

Song Jie ruthlessly shattered Shi Ning's fantasy about the outside world.

In the world of cultivating immortals, being too naive can easily put you in danger.

In particular, Shi Ning will go to Danding Sect to participate in the entrance trial next. If he successfully passes the entrance trial, he will have to stay in Danding Sect alone.

If you are too naive and have no guard against others, you will easily be bullied.

Fortunately, Shi Ning has been learning alchemy from Song Jie since he was a child. Under the influence of Song Jie, his personality is somewhat like Song Jie.

Although he is kind-hearted, he is not stupid.

At this moment, Shi Ning's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Song Jie talking about the Shiwandashan Mountains.

"Godfather, tell me what's inside the Hundred Thousand Mountains...

“I’ve always heard you talk about the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but I don’t know what it’s like inside.
"When I become stronger, I will also go to the Shiwan Mountains to take a look."

Song Jie laughed.

“The Shiwandashan Mountains are not a fun place, they are full of monsters that eat people.

“Those monsters often hide in the dark and ambush monks who enter their territory.

“If you don’t have enough strength, you will only become food for monsters if you enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

"Moreover, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are beings more terrifying than demon beasts."

"An existence more terrifying than a demon beast? What is that?"

Shi Ning shrank his neck and looked at Song Jie with curiosity.

Song Jie laughed, deliberately showing a scary expression, and said coldly: "It's a human..."

"people?"

“Those monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains are certainly scary, but as long as you are careful and don’t enter their territory, there won’t be much danger.

"But people are different, especially those Tribulation Cultivators..."

Song Jie went through the dangers of the Ten Thousand Mountains and began to tell Shi Ning how treacherous human hearts are.

Of course, most of them were made up by him based on his own life experiences.

So far, Song Jie has only been to the Shiwan Mountains once, and that was with Huangfu Shen.

At that time, with the big boss around me, the word danger did not exist at all.

Perhaps for the monsters and cultivators in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Huangfu Shen is the dangerous factor.

Fortunately, Song Jie had been to the Shiwan Mountains with Huangfu Shen before, so he still had an impression of the topography of the Shiwan Mountains.

Combined with his life experience, he was able to make up one vivid story after another.

Hearing this, Shi Ning felt excited at the same time, then scared, and he would shrink his neck from time to time.

Song Jie put a lot of effort into teaching his godson.

Through story after story, Shi Ning was taught to follow his heart when necessary.

What's more, we should not have the intention to harm others, but we must always be on guard against others.

The profound truths come one after another.

Of course, Song Jie did not teach Shi Ning the principle of how to use physical skills when going out.

Shi Ning is still a young boy who has not experienced much of the world. Teaching him those advanced principles may lead him astray. We can wait until Shi Ning grows up and have the opportunity to teach him.

……

Along the way, Song Jie told Shi Ning some little stories from time to time.

He also took this opportunity to relax.

After traveling to this world for more than ten years, Song Jie has never truly relaxed.

I practice and make elixirs almost every day.

This time, Shi Ning was sent to Danding Sect to participate in the entrance trial, and there was a guard team to protect their safety during the journey.

Song Jie simply treated this trip as a tour, completely relaxed and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Of course, when he rested at night, Song Jie still practiced Changchun Gong.

Although the guards would take turns patrolling the camp at night, for safety reasons, Song Jie always kept half of his mind paying attention to the movements around him while practicing Changchun Gong.

After the novelty of the first few days wore off, Shi Ning began to feel a little restless. In the following days, he kept wondering how long it would take to arrive.

After a long journey, the young man finally felt the fatigue of traveling.

Compared to Shi Ning, Jin Jiao was very quiet along the way and slept soundly most of the time.

It only moves when the sun comes out. It will jump onto the roof of the car and continue sleeping while basking in the sun.

Also, I move around a bit while eating.

In order to prepare for this trip, Song Jie also made a lot of preparations.

In his storage bag, in addition to the dry food necessary for a long journey, there were also many pickled foods, such as bacon, salted fish...

This kind of pickled food can be stored for a relatively long time and is not easy to spoil.

In addition, he also refined a lot of fasting pills in case of emergency.

Of course, he also made a lot of elixirs such as Rejuvenating Pills and Soul-Restoring Pills that could heal wounds and restore the soul, and carried them with him.

He also refined a lot of Mishen Pills and Chongmai Pills, and even some Xuanyang Pills and Xuanyin Pills.

In order to be prepared for any eventuality, Song Jie refined all the pills that could be refined into different quantities according to their practicality and put them into a storage bag.

On the contrary, if you don’t use it, you can sell it in the store when you get back.

In short, for this trip, Song Jie's storage bag with a capacity of ten hu was almost filled up.

The benefits of the storage bag also came into play at this time. Although he brought a lot of things, Song Jie still felt relaxed.

Even the Ziyun Copper Furnace was put into his storage bag.

I thought that if I suddenly needed to make medicine, I could take out the Ziyun Copper Furnace anytime and anywhere to make medicine.

This was also thanks to the fact that when he bought the storage bag, he did not buy a three-hu capacity storage bag in order to save money.

Otherwise, the Ziyun Copper Furnace cannot be put in.

……

Time passes quietly during this picnic-like journey.

After a 25-day long journey, we experienced three minor setbacks.

The convoy that Song Jie was in finally arrived safely outside a small town near Danding Sect.

After the carriage stopped, Song Jie jumped off first.

Shi Ning and Jin Jiao jumped off the carriage almost at the same time.

Then, the leader of the escort team gathered everyone together.

"Thank you for choosing our escort group to carry out this escort. After a 25-day long journey, we have successfully sent you to Danhua Town.

“There are still five days before Danding Sect officially recruits disciples.

“It takes less than half a day to travel from Danhua Town to Danding Sect.

“You can first find an inn in Danhua Town to stay and have a good rest for a few days.

“Wait five days and then go to Danding Sect to participate in the entrance trial.

“Our escort group will also stay here for a while, and return to Xinyue Market after the Danding Sect’s entrance trial is over.

"If you need our escort team to escort you back, you can continue to ride in our carriage.

"Of course, the spiritual stones for the return trip are calculated separately. Eighty spiritual stones per person..."

When Song Jie heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

He guessed when he set out that the return fare would definitely be more expensive than the going fare.

The reality turned out to be just as he expected.

After all, when going, the initiative is in the hands of consumers. They can choose to go or not.

But on the return journey, the initiative is more in the hands of the escort team.

Of course, these consumers still have the right to choose and can choose to go back alone.

But in that case, you will have to face all kinds of unknown dangers on the road alone.

Although they did not encounter any major danger on the way there, they only experienced three minor setbacks.

Those three small setbacks were most likely a test.

The enemy in the dark is testing whether this bone is easy to chew.

If it is easy to chew, real danger will befall them.

Fortunately, the overall strength of this escort group is quite good, and it is a tough nut to crack.

Therefore, Song Jie estimated that most people would choose to spend eighty spirit stones and continue to let the escort team protect them and return to Xinyue Market safely.

Thinking of this, Song Jie raised his eyes and glanced.

He saw some dissatisfaction in the eyes of the people around him, but no one spoke out to express their opinions.

This shows that they have all accepted the price of eighty spirit stones in their hearts.

Seeing that those people were silent, Song Jie naturally would not be the first to step forward and bargain with the escort group.

He is the boss of Danqi Pavilion and the famous Master Alchemist Song in Xinyue Market. This amount of spirit stones is nothing to him.

Moreover, after returning, Shi Lei will reimburse him for the travel expenses of eighty spirit stones.

After the leader of the escort team finished speaking, everyone dispersed and prepared to go to Danhua Town ahead to find an inn to stay.

Song Jie also took Shi Ning and Jin Jiao and walked towards Danhua Town.

……

"Sorry, we have no vacancies."

……

"Sorry, our store is full."

……

"Sir, you are late. The last room has just been booked by another guest."

……

Song Jie took Shi Ning and Jin Jiao to several inns, but the feedback they got was that there were no rooms available.

This situation was something Song Jie had not anticipated.

Seeing the red glow in the sky, Song Jie couldn't help but show a trace of worry on his face.

The Danding Sect's recruitment of disciples has indeed attracted quite a few people.

They had arrived here five days in advance, but couldn't even find an inn with a vacant room.

Are they going to sleep on the streets tonight?
Just when Song Jie was at a loss, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Song Jie?"
