The Strongest Knight

The ancient Fire Vein Tower looks quite spectacular from a distance.

When he got closer, Zhao Qinghe couldn't help but sigh. This was indeed a building that could only be found in the world of cultivation. The intricate magic patterns on the tower and even the traces left after the battle all told the history of the Ancient Fire Vein Tower.

The Fire Vein Ancient Tower was moved from the old site of the Qiankun Sect in the Tianhong Taoist world. It is said that the seven-vein ancient towers formed into a formation can kill immortals.

Around the Fire Vein Ancient Tower, one can occasionally see law enforcement disciples wearing cloaks.

The law enforcement disciples are independent of the seven veins and are affiliated with the main vein of the Qiankun Sect. They are a law enforcement team formed by drawing elites from the seven veins. The person in power is the law enforcement elder of the main vein, who has the right to govern the disciples of the seven veins.

Kuang Zhongtian took Zhao Qinghe straight into the ancient tower, and in the spacious deacon hall they met the Fire Vein Deacon Elder who was busy reviewing documents.

The title of Deacon Elder sounds impressive, but when the twelve Jindan elders of the Fire Vein usually nominate someone to hold this position, they do so by drawing lots, an extremely exclusive method.

This is precisely because the deacons and elders are very busy, and during their twenty-year term, most of their time is taken up by cultivation.

None of the twelve Jindan elders was willing to take on the thankless job of deacon elder.

"Oh, it's Kuang Zhongtian, what's the matter?" Zhao Wugang said lightly without even raising his head.

"Uncle-master, I have brought a talented alchemist, my nephew Hua Qinghe, please make the arrangements." Kuang Zhongtian said respectfully.

......

The process of meeting the deacon elder Zhao Wugang was simpler than Zhao Qinghe had imagined.

Zhao Wugang took a wisp of Zhao Qinghe's magic power and put it into the life token, and then directly asked his subordinate disciples to register Zhao Qinghe. Because of his expertise in alchemy, he was directly appointed as an elite disciple, and an alchemist mark was also added to the token.

In recent times, the disciples who went out have brought back many talented alchemists. Zhao Wugang is unable to verify them one by one, so he can only arrange for them to be elite disciples.

As for the actual alchemy skills, a small alchemy test will naturally be organized at the end of the year.

Zhao Qinghe received the disciple token and clothing, and under the personal guidance of Kuang Zhongtian, he walked towards the alchemy courtyard that had just been opened behind the Fire Vein Ancient Tower.

"Master Alchemist, I'll send you here. Except for a few places inside the ancient tower, you can move freely in other places of the fire veins and explore on your own. As for practicing skills, Master Qinghe can take time out every other day to go to the ancient tower's power transmission hall to choose one by yourself." Kuang Zhongtian stopped in front of the alchemy courtyard and spoke.

Zhao Qinghe nodded and asked, "I heard that the Qiankun Wuji Jue of the Qiankun Sect is a technique that can directly reach the level of a celestial being. I wonder if I can learn it in the Transmission Hall?"

"The Qiankun Wuji Jue is the supreme magic formula of our sect. Naturally, there are requirements for learning it. If an alchemist wants to learn the Qiankun Wuji Jue, you must be among the top three in your level in the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition and enter the main lineage of the Qiankun Sect for further study." Kuang Zhongtian explained.

"I wonder how many levels the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition is divided into? And how many years will the next one be?" Zhao Qinghe asked. The Qiankun Wuji Jue was the purpose of Zhao Qinghe's coming to this world, and Zhao Qinghe was determined to obtain it.

Kuang Zhongtian replied: "The Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition is divided into three levels: Three Flowers and Five Qi Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, and Golden Core Realm. The next one will be in five years. If you want to participate next time, I'm afraid you have to aim for the Three Flowers and Five Qi Realm Martial Arts Competition."

"I understand. Thank you, uncle-master." Since Zhao Qinghe had just joined the sect, it was reasonable for him to call Kuang Zhongtian uncle-master.

"This is not a secret, you are too polite, nephew. I may have to trouble you with the elixirs in the future." Kuang Zhongtian said with relief.

"Uncle Master, just speak up. I will grant your request." Zhao Qinghe said sincerely.

Kuang Zhongtian left with satisfaction. Zhao Qinghe watched him leave. When he could no longer see his flying weapon, he turned and walked towards the Alchemy Court.

Although the Alchemy Institute was newly built, many "alchemists" had already moved in. Apparently, in addition to Kuang Zhongtian, other disciples in charge of the Fire Vein had also brought back many potential alchemists.

The Alchemy Academy was established under the order of Fire Vein's Elder Deacon Zhao Wugang, with the aim of allowing Fire Vein's future alchemists to gather together, exchange alchemy experiences and accelerate the growth of their skills.

The original intention is good, but as for the specific results, it depends on how things develop next.

Whether the alchemists are willing to live in the Alchemy Court is up to them, so Zhao Qinghe decided to come over and take a look.

When Zhao Qinghe stepped into the gate of the Alchemy Court, he found that the center of the courtyard was crowded with people. Alchemists dressed in the uniforms of elite disciples of Qiankun Sect were talking to each other, but their eyes were all looking towards the center.

The uniforms of Qiankun Sect's disciples are cyan for outer disciples, blue for ordinary disciples, black for elite disciples, white for managing disciples, and purple for chief disciples. The seven-vein patterns on their clothes have different patterns to distinguish them. For example, the fire vein pattern has flame sprouts, the thunder vein pattern has lightning strips, and so on.

There are no special clothing requirements for the elders above the disciples. They usually create their own clothes or paint patterns of their own mountains on their robes.

Seeing the crowd, Zhao Qinghe squeezed forward curiously. Relying on his tall and strong stature, Zhao Qinghe could see the center of the field even when standing in the middle of the crowd.

It turned out to be a middle-aged Taoist who was refining elixir in a furnace.

The steps of alchemy had reached the final stage of pill making. Zhao Qinghe used his spiritual eyes and the ability to smell the fragrance to identify that this person was refining the Yellow Dragon Pill in public.

Zhao Qinghe asked around and finally found out what had happened.

It turned out that someone felt that the Alchemy Academy must be leaderless, so they proposed to decide the position of the academy's president by alchemy skills.

If the position of the dean is decided, all matters in the Alchemy Institute will be headed by the dean, and no one can say anything in front of the dean.

Of course, if someone can successfully challenge the alchemy achievement, the position of dean should naturally be given to him.

The method of the alchemy competition is to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill, and the victory or defeat is determined by the number of Yellow Dragon Pills produced after the pill is refined.

Huanglong Pills. At the beginning, Zhao Qinghe's master, Xinghuai Zhenren, could only make about forty pills. But now, the guy with the most in the alchemy academy has actually made as many as sixty-five pills.

It was this person who proposed that the victory be decided by the number of Huanglong Pills produced.

At this moment, this fellow was proudly placing a throne, sitting on it and looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest refining the elixir with disdain.

In the field, the middle-aged Taoist who was refining the elixir was sweating profusely.

"Hi! Open!"

When the time was ripe, the middle-aged Taoist priest opened the lid of the alchemy furnace with one hand.

Zhao Qinghe's experience in alchemy was indeed outstanding after the selfless cultivation of Taoist Xing Huai. With a flash of his spiritual eyes, he could tell from the smoke coming out of the alchemy furnace that the Taoist's furnace of Yellow Dragon Pills was ruined.

Sure enough, along with the white mist, a burnt smell came out.

The alchemy furnace was full of black. A curious person stepped forward to count the pills, and found that there were actually sixty-five pills in it, which was unprecedented. However, these pills were rotten, so compared with the previous person, he was naturally inferior.
