Early this morning, Xie Fan followed Xie Jue to the alchemy institute, and the senior brothers and sisters always had to meet and get acquainted with each other.

"Xie Fan. As soon as Xie Fan walked to the door, he heard someone calling him from behind.

Xie Fan turned around, and it turned out that Wang Dashao and his father had also arrived at the alchemy center. Xie Jue and Wang Danshi nodded and walked into the door together, leaving the two boys to follow behind and talk quietly.

"I heard my dad say that I have to confirm the number of places to participate in the Concentration Flower Picking today. As soon as he came up, this Wang Dashao revealed a big news.

Xie Fan heard this and hurriedly asked, "How many places are there for alchemy?" A few days ago, Uncle Xie said that he would let him participate on behalf of the alchemy institute, and I don't know how this candidate was selected.

"I don't know, there were three of them, and I don't know if there have been any changes this year. Guess what, there must be two of us, let's go and see first. Wang Dashao said with a big grin.

The two smiled at each other, and everything was silent.

When I arrived in the hall, I saw that more than a dozen people in the hall had already arrived. Xie Fan glanced at it, the five Dan masters claimed by Dan were all present, and it was estimated that their proud disciples would not be absent from this annual event.

"Xie Danshi and Wang Danshi have arrived!" At this time, a slightly older Danshi opened his mouth and greeted Xie and Wang warmly.

Xie Jue was not arrogant, and after hearing it, he replied politely, "Li Danshi is early!"

Looking around, Xie Jue continued: "Since everyone has arrived, let's discuss it and see which disciples to send to participate in this year's Soul Condensation Picking." ”

Xie Jue turned to Li Danshi, "Li Danshi, can I ask you to explain to you about this year's quota?"

Li Danshi happily agreed, stood two steps forward, and said: "The City Lord's Mansion has informed that I will leave for the Huoyun Mountain Range in three days, so I need to determine the list of people who will participate in the picking of the Condensation Flower before I set off. Although picking condensing flowers is not very helpful to alchemy cultivation, it is related to the reputation of my alchemy institute, so every time the people who participate in the picking are selected. ”

After a pause, Li Danshi continued: "The three apprentices recruited by my Dan this year are all extremely talented, Lan Yu participated on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, and the other two Xie Fan and Wang Buren, after the collegiate discussion of all Dan masters, participated in this picking to increase the experience of using soul power, and removed two of the places. ”

Hearing this, the disciples on the side began to talk in a low voice below.

"Why don't they participate in the selection? Soul power 128 is much lower than me. ”

"People have a good master and a good father, can you compare this?"

When Li Danshi heard the discussion below, he said in a cold voice: "Quiet!"

"Xie Fan and Wang Buren did not participate in the selection, which was also the result of the collegiate discussion of the City Lord's Mansion and the major families. Li Danshi said with a calm face, "After discussion between the City Lord's Mansion and the major families, it was agreed that our Dan Institute would temporarily increase the quota by one, and the quota would reach four. ”

When Wang Dashao heard this, he smiled and said to Xie Fan: "I said that there is a quota for the two of us, and the little devil told me a long time ago." ”

Xie Fan asked, "Lan?"

Wang Da Shao glanced at him: "Who else but her." ”

Xie Fan felt that if they didn't participate in the selection, if they couldn't get good results, Uncle Xie and Wang Danshi would definitely have a lot of pressure.

At this time, I heard Li Danshi say: "But this time the picking of the Condensation Flower is different from the past, the City Lord's Mansion has observed that there are signs of an eruption of the underground volcano, so the danger of picking this time is relatively great, but the corresponding rewards are also more generous, the top three are rewarded with five, three, and one Condensing Pills respectively." You can think more about whether you are willing to participate or not. ”

When the disciples heard that it was dangerous, and the quota had increased by one, those who had a good mind had already considered that it was the City Lord's Mansion who was selling favors to Xie Danshi and Wang Danshi, anyway, they didn't have much influence on themselves, so they didn't care too much about these, but in their hearts, they inevitably had more hostility and contempt for Xie Fan and Wang Dashao.

The other two optional selections are also determined quickly, and the selection is over if the two candidates are determined directly with the soul power test column.

The alchemy institute was originally a rich place, even if the disciples who had just entered the pill institute for a few years, they could collect fees by refining some simple pills for others, and compared with the disciples of ordinary families or sects, they tended to pursue stability.

These two senior brothers are much older than Xie Fan, and they seem to be about thirty years old, and their soul power has reached more than 160. Therefore, the eyes of the two of them looked at Xie Fan and Wang Dashao with a look of contempt. At any given time, it can be uncomfortable to see that others can get the same results without effort, even if the opportunity is not particularly important to them.

When Xie Danshi finally explained to the two older brothers that he wanted them to take more care of Xie Fan and Wang Dashao during the picking, although the two of them were full of promises, the contempt in their eyes was difficult to completely hide.

In fact, for Xie Fan, he is more willing to act independently with the senior brothers, so that it is convenient for him to fully exert his ability.

When I returned to Xie Mansion that night, after dinner, Xie Jue stopped Xie Fan, "Apprentice, you stay for a while, I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes, Master. Xie Fan heard that Xie Jue had something to say, so he hurriedly agreed.

"A few days ago, the City Lord's Mansion Lan Mansion Lord talked to Weishi about the changes in this crater, and it was observed that the breath of the Condensation Flower in the pit this year was far greater than in previous years, and according to previous experience, it may produce a Condensing Flower that has reached the eight leaves. It's just that the danger of volcanic eruptions this year is much greater, so after discussing with Master Wang, Master thinks it's better for you and Buren to exercise. However, it is important to remember that you should only move near the shallow surface of the crater, and you should never go deep into it, so it is safe to do so. ”

Xie Fan listened puzzled and asked, "Master, if the eight-leaf condensing flower appears, it must be in the depths of the volcanic crater." If you don't go deeper, how can you pick it?"

Xie Jue glanced at Xie Fan lovingly, and said, "There are not many opportunities for the Eight Leaf Condensing Flower to appear, even if it is superficial, it is very beneficial to the enhancement of your soul power." Master is reluctant to let you risk the danger to go deep to collect this strange flower, and you have to hand it in if you pick it, Master is not so generous. ”

"Since the master said that he is only active on the superficial surface, then the apprentice listens to the master, so absorb the aura of the condensing flower in the superficial place to increase the following divine souls, and the ranking will not be contested. Xie Fan agreed.

A few days passed in a flash, and tomorrow he was going to the Huoyun Mountain Mountain Crater, but Xie Fan didn't know that this time the picking would bring endless benefits to his future cultivation, and of course he had fallen into an unimaginable predicament.
