I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 125: The Immortal Pill Discussion Conference Begins

Huangfu Shen listened to Song Jie's views on the power's reputation, nodded with approval and said, "Fellow Daoist Song is indeed a businessman, and his analysis is very accurate.

“If Fellow Daoist Song plans to develop his own power in the future, he must not miss this opportunity.

“Even if you don’t plan to expand your influence, it would be great if you can increase your personal popularity.

"When your reputation accumulates to a certain level, various resources and opportunities will even come to you on their own initiative."

"Friend Huangfu's words make sense. I will make good preparations in the next few days." Song Jie nodded slightly.

For him, improving his personal reputation is very important.

According to his plan, after reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, he would go to Yunmiao City to develop.

If he could use this opportunity to gain a certain degree of fame, he would be able to gain a foothold in Yunmiao City more quickly.

Moreover, after reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, he would begin preparing for foundation building.

Song Jie's goal is to strive to build the foundation of the Heavenly Dao.

If there is really no way to build a foundation in the way of heaven, then at least one must build a foundation in the way of earth.

In order to build a foundation underground, he must obtain the spiritual energy of the earth veins.

In order to obtain the spiritual energy of the earth's veins, one must have certain personal connections to be able to find channels to obtain it.

If one wants to accumulate personal connections, he needs to have a certain reputation and value.

Therefore, the "Immortal Elixir Conference" held by the Danding Sect is indeed a rare opportunity for Song Jie.

An opportunity for him to take a shortcut.

The two then chatted about other things about the "Immortal Elixir Conference".

Only after the mess was over did the two of them leave Tianxiang Tower and return to the courtyard where the guests were staying.

Under the arrangement of a special person, Song Jie was assigned a room for rest.

Looking at this warm and elegantly decorated room, Song Jie suddenly felt emotional.

“Today is truly a day full of surprises.
“I thought I would have to sleep on the streets, but I ended up staying in a luxurious courtyard.”

The area where he is located is full of luxurious courtyards of similar style.

These luxurious courtyards are temporary residences used by Danding Sect to receive guests.

Of course, not all alchemists who come to participate in the "Immortal Elixir Conference" can stay in these luxurious courtyards as guests.

Guests who can stay in the luxurious courtyard usually have a certain reputation, or come from a certain force, or have a certain relationship with the elders and disciples of status in the Danding Sect.

If you are an ordinary cultivator, you are not qualified to stay here and can only find an inn to stay in by yourself.

This time, the Danding Sect's recruitment of external disciples was close to the "Immortal Elixir Discussion Conference", resulting in more external cultivators coming during this period.

As a result, almost every inn was fully booked.

Just now, on his way back, Song Jie even heard some monks talking about setting up tents outside Danhua Town to spend the night.

This made him feel fortunate that he was lucky enough to have met Mu Lingxuan.

What’s even more precious is that Mu Lingxuan actually still remembered me, whom I had only met once, and treated me as a guest.

Not only did he solve his own accommodation problem, he also brought Shi Ning directly back to the sect, allowing Shi Ning to join the Danding Sect without having to participate in the entrance trial.

Even though Mu Lingxuan didn't say anything, Song Jie still kept this favor in mind.

……

Time just passes day by day.

These days, Song Jie was preparing to set up a stall for the "Immortal Elixir Conference" while exchanging experiences in alchemy with the alchemists in the courtyard.

These alchemists who are able to stay in the courtyard as guests usually have a certain status and their alchemy skills are also quite advanced.

In the process of communicating with them, Song Jie gained a lot.

Of course, Song Jie’s level is already quite high among first-level alchemists.

Especially his Qingming Youhuo, which had already broken through to the realm of the Great Dao, made his understanding of the art of alchemy fire far surpass that of his peers, the first-level alchemists.

Whenever they talked about the art of alchemy, some of Song Jie's insights would be praised by other alchemists.

This made the alchemists increasingly recognize him.

This was also the first time that Song Jie gained a little fame in the alchemist circle.

As for Huangfu Shen, Song Jie rarely saw him since he drank in Tianxiang Tower that night.

Basically I only see him once every one or two days, and I don't know what he is busy with.

In addition, when the Danding Sect's entrance trial began, Song Jie went out of his way to see what the so-called entrance trial was like.

After watching for a while, Song Jie found that the process of this entry trial was basically the same as he had imagined.

The first step is to test your spiritual roots, and then there are various examinations.

There are tests on alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and even some tests on some common sense of cultivating immortals...

Of course, these exams were all about theoretical knowledge, and did not allow those who took the entry test to do any practical work.

After all, most of the people who come to take the entry test are ordinary mortals, so there is not much point in testing their practical skills.

In addition to these theoretical knowledge tests, there are also assessments of personal qualities such as character, morality, and perseverance.

Overall, the content of the Danding Sect's entry trial is quite comprehensive.

As for the weight of each assessment and the specific standards for Danding Sect to recruit disciples, Song Jie had no idea.

After roughly understanding the content of the entry trial, Song Jie took out the Lingyin Jade Ring and communicated with Mu Lingxuan.

When they met five days ago, before saying goodbye, they recorded each other's breath through the Lingyin Jade Ring.

After contacting Mu Lingxuan, Song Jie also met Shi Ning smoothly.

After caring about Shi Ning's joining the Danding Sect and learning that he had initially adapted to the life in the sect, Song Jie felt relieved.

According to Shi Ning, after Mu Lingxuan brought him back to the sect, she arranged for an outer disciple to conduct some simple tests on him the next day.

And Shi Ning also got a job as a menial disciple related to alchemy with his solid foundation in alchemy.

This will be beneficial to his future development in Danding Sect.

Moreover, because Shi Ning was brought into the sect by Mu Lingxuan, even the outer disciple who was responsible for testing him was quite polite to Shi Ning.

With Shi Ning's cleverness, Song Jie believed that he would make good use of this advantage and thrive in Danding Sect.

After returning to Danhua Town, Song Jie found several of his old customers again.

Among the cultivators who came to Danhua Town from Xinyue Market this time, there were several of his old customers who also sent their children to participate in the entrance trial of Danding Sect.

Because he would be attending the "Immortal Pill Discussion Conference" next, Song Jie also entrusted several old customers to bring back the good news that Shi Ning joined the Danding Sect to let Shi Lei and his wife know.

To avoid the situation where the main force has returned but Song Jie has not returned yet, leaving Shi Lei and his wife worried.

……

About five days passed after the entrance trial for new disciples of Danding Sect ended.

The "Immortal Elixir Conference" that Song Jie had been looking forward to for a long time was finally officially held.

Early in the morning, Song Jie, Huangfu Shen, and several other alchemists in the courtyard where he lived went to the mountain gate of Danding Sect together.

As VIPs, they naturally did not need to hike up the mountain.

When they arrived outside Danhua Town, there were tamed monsters waiting for them, pulling carriages.

These carriages pulled by monsters are obviously larger and more luxurious than horse-drawn carriages.

The carriage is 13 feet 9.5 inches high and 8 feet 2.5 inches wide. The seat cushion inside is more than 4 feet 1 inch high, so that the person sitting on it can see all the mountains at a glance, showing its majestic style.

It was the first time for Song Jie to ride in such a luxurious means of transportation. "Hey, Brother Song, how have you been preparing these days?"

Huangfu Shen, who was sitting next to Song Jie, was obviously not riding in a carriage for the first time and behaved very naturally.

Song Jie quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "I have refined some elixirs that I am good at."

Although Song Jie brought a lot of pills with him on this long journey, those pills were only for emergency use.

Unless there are special circumstances, he doesn't intend to use it.

It happened that he had nothing special to do in Danhua Town during this period, so he went to buy some medicinal herbs and brought them back to refine them in his room.

The proficiency he now possesses in making the first-grade elixirs, except for the Yuanyang Pill and the Lingyun Pill, is basically at a level close to perfection.

Xuan Yang Dan has even reached perfect proficiency.

Combined with his Qingming Phantom Fire, which has already reached the Great Dao realm.

All of the first-grade elixirs refined during this period are of superior and high-quality.

And most of them are of premium quality.

Because the purpose of setting up a stall at the "Xiandan Lun Conference" this time is to increase one's own popularity.

Therefore, Song Jie only refined those first-grade elixirs that required a relatively high level of proficiency.

To put it simply, he refined some of the other elixirs except Yuanyang Pill and Lingyun Pill.

They also specially selected high-quality elixirs for display at the stalls.

As for Yuanyang Pill and Lingyun Pill.

The former was because the drug was so effective that he didn't dare to show it, fearing that it would bring him a bad reputation.

Otherwise, he could have consumed his skill points, improved his proficiency, and then refined a high-quality first-grade Yuanyang Pill.

As for the Lingyun Pill, there is no need to mention it. First of all, there is a lack of main ingredients.

Secondly, if he dared to show the Lingyun Pill, he would probably be regarded as an evil cultivator.

When Huangfu Shen heard that Song Jie had refined some of his best elixirs, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Have you refined the Yuan Yang Pill?

“If Fellow Daoist Song takes out the Yuan Yang Pill, it will surely shine.”

"Without the glands of the Fire-Bath Pig, it is impossible to refine the Yuanyang Pill." Song Jie shook his head and smiled.

There were still forty-five first-grade Yuan Yang Pills in his storage bag, but he didn't dare to take them out to show them.

Although he was confident that displaying the Yuan Yang Pill would allow him to shine, he would also surely gain some bad reputation.

Some female monks might think that he is a perverted alchemist.

Huangfu Shen heard this and said with a little regret: "That is indeed a pity.

“When I have time, I will get some Fire-Bath Pig Glands for Brother Song.

“Fellow Daoist Song can refine more Yuan Yang Pills.

"This is good stuff."

"Okay, definitely."

Song Jie smiled knowingly.

A few days ago, when drinking and chatting in Tianxiang Tower, Huangfu Shen mentioned it many times in his process of robbing the rich to help the poor, and punishing the wicked and eliminating evil.

The Yuanyang Pills refined by Song Jie provided a lot of help.

It was very satisfying for him to have a lot of fun in the process of punishing bad guys.

Especially after those bad guys who took Yuanyang Dan were locked up with sows.

That scene... made Huangfu Shen exclaim with great excitement.

……

About half an hour later, everyone arrived at the mountain gate of Danding Sect in a carriage.

From here on, everyone had to walk up the mountain.

After verifying their identities, Song Jie and his party were allowed to enter the mountain gate of Danding Sect.

As you step into the mountain gate of Danding Sect, the first thing that catches your eye is a lush bamboo forest.

This bamboo forest is like a green barrier that isolates the noise from the outside world, making it a true holy place for spiritual practice.

After passing through the bamboo forest, everyone climbed up the stairs paved with bluestone slabs.

Led by the outer disciples who led the way, Song Jie and others came to a square that looked like white jade halfway up the mountain.

This square was specially designated by the Danding Sect as a place for monks who came to participate in the "Immortal Elixir Conference" to set up stalls.

A few days ago, the entrance test for Danding Sect to recruit disciples was also conducted in this huge white jade square.

So this is Song Jie's second time to come to this square.

Standing on Baiyu Square and looking up, you can see majestic buildings.

They are built against the mountain, in an orderly manner and with extraordinary style.

The elders and disciples of Danding Sect practiced there.

It’s a pity that Song Jie and his friends who are not members of the Danding Sect cannot go up to visit and can only look up at it from the white jade square.

The last time Song Jie came to see Shi Ning, he was not able to go up.

It was Shi Ning who came down the mountain to see him.

……

At this time, some alchemists had already set up stalls in the White Jade Square, with bottles of elixirs placed on them.

According to past experience, the first five days of the "Immortal Elixir Conference" were given to alchemists attending the conference to communicate freely.

And the way of communication is to set up stalls in this Baiyu Square.

If other alchemists are interested, they will come to your stall to communicate.

Many alchemists will take this opportunity to get to know some like-minded people.

If they get along well, they can discuss some cooperation matters.

At the same time, many disciples of the Danding Sect will come to the White Jade Square to look for some elixirs that interest them.

This is also an opportunity for these alchemists to get acquainted with the disciples of Danding Sect.

After five days of free exchange, the Danding Sect will set up an altar in this White Jade Square for preaching and hold several activities to give some surprises to the alchemists who come to attend the conference.

Of course, those who set up the altar and preached were all elders of the Danding Sect.

Only at the "Immortal Elixir Conference" fifty years ago, the leader of the Danding Sect gave the lecture in person.

Therefore, most of the monks who come to attend the conference will be looking forward to what surprises Danding Sect has prepared for them this time.

It is said that in the previous activities, the rewards given by Danding Sect were very good.

Song Jie was also looking forward to this.

Huangfu Shen looked at Song Jie and said with a chuckle, "Fellow Daoist Song, quickly find a good location to set up your stall.

"Wait any longer, and the good spots will be taken away."

Song Jie nodded and asked curiously, "What is Daoist Huangfu going to do next?"
