The more than ten alchemists gathered in Tonglu Mountain couldn't help but look shocked when they heard this message from Elder Jin Dan on behalf of Sun Qingning, and they all looked back at Su Chen.

There was jealousy, or sadness in their unusually complicated eyes, mixed with some inexplicable desolation.

The oldest veteran alchemist among the crowd is nearly 150 years old, and he is in his twilight years, and he doesn't have many years to live.

And there are several alchemists who are hundreds of years old, and half of the life of the foundation building monk has passed. And the rest are all alchemists in their sixties and seventies, barely "young".

They worked hard in Penglai Immortal Sect to raise spiritual medicinal materials to refine the elixir, refined the elixir and sold it in exchange for the spiritual stone to buy medicinal materials, and after repeating it, they had refined the elixir for nearly a lifetime, and so far they have not been able to enter the realm of alchemy masters.

In the Penglai Immortal Sect, there are only three alchemy masters such as Wang Qiu, Zhu Zirui, and Chen Yangfeng, and they are all more than 100 years old alchemy masters.

However, what about Su Chen?

He was young, not yet thirty years old. From an alchemist to an alchemist, it took only three years.

In such a short period of time, two major thresholds have been crossed one after another. stepped into the realm of alchemy masters in one fell swoop, and became a personal disciple of Jindan monks.

Any of these thresholds, their group of alchemists have to spend their whole lives in hard work, hard pursuit, but it is still out of reach.

Su Chen went from an alchemist on an equal footing with them to a disciple of Elder Jindan, who was out of reach.

The sadness and discomfort in the hearts of their group of alchemists at this moment was more painful than a knife hanging.

Zhang Zhuo's senior alchemist looked stunned, opened and closed his chapped mouth with bitterness, and had nowhere to say desolate, unable to say a word.

Over the years, he desperately wanted to catch up with Master Wang Qiu, be promoted to the position of alchemy master, and strive to be able to worship a Jindan alchemy master as a teacher.

The three alchemy masters of the Penglai Immortal Sect rarely accepted apprentices, and the other two had already accepted one alchemy master each, leaving only the chief alchemy grandmaster, Elder Sun Zhen, who had not yet accepted apprentices.

But now, the dream "clicked" and shattered. It is impossible for the Jindan elders to accept any more disciples in a short period of time.

...

Su Chen couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Sun Qingning's words.

The vibration in his heart was no less than that of other alchemists.

He has been alchemy a lot in the past two years, just trying to get the identity of an alchemy master as a disguise. In this way, he earns a lot of spirit stones, his cultivation is improved quickly, and he can also be well concealed by the identity of the alchemy master.

From the very beginning, he planned to bury his head in his own business, and he had no intention of worshipping a Spirit Pill Grandmaster as a teacher.

Being accepted as an apprentice was also very abrupt for him.

It seemed that all of a sudden, he had crossed the invisible barrier within the Penglai Immortal Sect, and entered the circle close to the core of the Penglai Immortal Sect from a marginal foundation building stage disciple. The descendants and personal disciples of the Jindan monks, this is the group of monks closest to the core layer in the Penglai Immortal Sect.

The vast majority of the other foundation building monks are unknown characters in the Immortal Sect who work silently. Even if it is an alchemy master like Wang Qiu, he does not have much status.

"Senior Brother Su, you go back and prepare well, come to my Lingfeng tomorrow, I will lead you to Lingshan to apprentice, don't lose your manners. ”

Sun Qingning finished his order lightly, and without waiting for Su Chen to say anything, he directly took off the sword and Hua Hong left.

Su Chen saw Sun Qingning's indifferent attitude, and couldn't help but stop talking, but he didn't say anything after all, just gave his hand: "Send Senior Brother Sun!"

Refusal to apprentice?

Penglai Immortal Sect doesn't seem to have a precedent yet, it's too shocking. Only the personal disciples of Elder Jindan are qualified to participate in the competition for the Mystic Spirit Fruit, and if they do not apprentice, this is tantamount to automatically giving up the path of Jindan.

Su Chen naturally wouldn't be so hypocritical, he could only take one step at a time.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Su, double happiness is coming!"

"I hope to help me in the future!"

A group of alchemists from Tonglu Mountain congratulated Su Chen one after another, their tones a little sour, with a little resentment.

But with Su Chen's current identity, none of them dared to offend Su Chen.

"Senior Brother Su, congratulations, the immortal luck is the first! When the apprenticeship is over, you must invite the elder brother to have a few drinks and congratulate you. ”

Master Wang Qiu was in a bad mood before Sun Qingning appeared, and at this time, he was also depressed and resentful, not much better than Zhang Zhuo.

He had begged Elder Sun for decades, and he had tried his best to learn from his teacher. But Elder Sun couldn't look down on it, and he was helpless, and he still couldn't enter the door.

But Su Chen didn't ask for it once, why did he enter the house in one step?!

"Okay!"

Su Chen knew that all the alchemists had mixed tastes in their hearts, and they could only smile bitterly.

...

Su Chen said goodbye to all the alchemists and returned to the mountain peak's residence.

Burn incense and bathe, wash away the smell of alchemy, change into a brand-new alchemy master robe, and prepare.

He didn't know what to prepare, just as usual.

The next day, he got up early in the morning, and Su Chen Imperial Sword came to a small spiritual mountain where Elder Sun Zhen of the Penglai Immortal Sect lived, and flew down at the foot of the mountain.

Monk Jindan occupies a small spirit mountain alone, and the entire small spirit mountain is shrouded in a thin light shroud, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass without permission, otherwise the alarm of the formation will be triggered. Someone has to open the mask and lead the way.

The top of Xiaoling Mountain was flattened and was the residence of the Jindan monks.

A magnificent palace-like Sun Mansion was built, which was resplendent and full of aura.

The front yard is a patch of Sendai pavilions, carved railings and jade yu, all of which are built with second- and third-order spiritual wood and square giant bluestone.

A huge garden in the backyard, exquisite and unique water pavilions, spiritual bridges and flowing water, spiritual flowers and spiritual grass flowers, delicate spiritual lotus planted in the spiritual pool, and a tail of spiritual fish.

Halfway up the mountain is the spiritual orchard and the elixir garden, and there are some farms and spiritual fields in the gentle land at the foot of the mountain, where there are many spiritual farmers in the qi refining period who are cultivating.

Although the Jindan monks "occupy" a spiritual mountain, they actually do not live alone, and the descendants of the descendants and the elders of Jindan live in a spiritual mountain, which has a large population. Only those branches and collateral lines that are three generations later in the bloodline will gradually be stripped away and choose another place to live in the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Su Chen waited at the foot of the mountain for an hour, and Sun Qingning, the eldest grandson, appeared belatedly and led him into the spiritual mountain.

"Senior Brother Su, when you meet my grandfather, if he doesn't ask, you don't need to say much. I will explain how you are apprenticed and many etiquettes. ”

Sun Qingning explained some words, his expression was a little cold, and he was not kind.

"Yes!"

Su Chen nodded slightly, and didn't say much.

A moment later, the two reached the top of the mountain and stepped into a golden hall.

Elder Jindan and Chief Alchemy Grandmaster Sun Zhen sat on the throne of the hall with an indifferent face. Next to him sat a beautiful and dignified woman with phoenix eyebrows and red eyes, elegant and noble.

At the head of the hall, there are five foundation-building monks.

Two of them are descendants of the Sun family, and they are the two most outstanding of Sun Zhen's many parents. The other three are descendants of the second generation of grandchildren, and they are the coquettish ones among the grandchildren. The five of them stood on both sides of the hall, standing respectfully with their hands down.

The Sun family has a large number of clansmen, and there are hundreds of foundation building and qi refining cultivators. But they are not the core monks of the Sun clan.

But the real core descendants, including Sun Qingning, are only six people, two sons and four grandchildren.

Outside the hall, there were still dozens of descendants of the Sun family, but not the core descendants, as well as groups of Qi refining cultivator servants.

When all of them saw Sun Qingning leading Su Chen into the hall to apprentice, they were all envious. Once Su Chen's apprenticeship became a personal disciple, his status was second only to the six core descendants of the Sun clan, and higher than these non-core descendants of the Sun clan.

...

Sun Qingning led Su Chen to the main hall to meet Sun Zhen, and instructed Su Chen to follow the rules and perform a complex set of teacher rituals to worship Penglai Immortal Sect.

Afterwards, Su Chen saluted the master and the master, and respectfully offered a cup of spiritual tea to each of them.

Sun Zhen took a cup of spiritual tea, and then looked at Su Chen with his eyes.

Su Chen's appearance is quite delicate, his expression is calm, with a little coldness, and he has a charm that has been practiced for a long time.

In other words, Sun Zhen had no impression of Su Chen before, and now at the apprenticeship ceremony, he really saw the appearance of this personal disciple clearly.

He sent someone to the disciple hall yesterday to check Su Chen's information, Su Chen was born in a loose cultivation, and it was only three years since he entered the Penglai Immortal Sect from Chaoge Immortal City. Extremely young, he became an alchemist three years ago, and stepped into the realm of an alchemy master before he was thirty years old.

It was not an easy task to step into the foundation building realm from among the countless Qi refining cultivators, and then stand out from the thousands of foundation building cultivators and become an alchemy master.

But anyone who can do this is a rare young talent in the immortal cultivation world.

Such a disciple will not lose money if he is included in the disciple.

Sun Zhen looked at Su Chen and nodded lightly. Turning his head to look at the other six descendants of the descendants in the palace, his face turned cold.

Compared with Su Chen, these unsuccessful descendants made him very disappointed.
