I can gather experience beads

With the end of the last game, the inner gate competition came to an end.

Feng Qingyun, the nephew of Feng Qiwu, the head of the Spirit Beast Academy, won the first place in the inner sect competition with his undisputed strength and became a true disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect.

In addition, another inner disciple Liu Shuran who performed outstandingly was also favored by the foundation-building elder Ye Yunyin, and was accepted as a personal disciple and was also included in the list of the sect's true disciples.

This inner sect competition has special significance.

Because after the new year, the sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony, which is also held every ten years, will be held.

The disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect are divided into generations of fifty years, and the disciples recruited this time will be the 103rd generation.

Therefore, the 102nd generation of disciples will be collectively promoted to the level of uncles and uncles.

Although Cao Rui is very young, because of the beast-shaped jade pendant, he is the 101st generation disciple. Therefore, Cao Rui will be directly promoted to the ancestor generation after the new year.

The generation of Sect Leader Lu Jiuxiao will be promoted to Grand Master.

For the sect, the fact that the reincarnation system has reached this level can be said to have great historical and symbolic significance.

This means that the sect has gone through a complete cycle and entered a new stage of development.

This inheritance and continuation is an important part of the sect's culture and the foundation of the sect's prosperity and stability.

Therefore, the disciple recruitment activity in early spring will surely become a major event for the sect, attracting the attention of many immortal cultivation forces.

It would be great if the Spirit Beast Sect could find one or two top talents with outstanding spiritual roots in this recruitment ceremony.

In addition to the true disciples determined by the inner sect competition, the assessment of disciples in the Alchemy Academy also attracted much attention from the disciples within the sect.

After all, the Alchemy Academy is considered to be one of the more outstanding academies in the Spirit Beast Sect, and in this day and age, every cultivator cannot do without elixirs.

Being able to enter the Alchemy Academy to study alchemy is the dream of many disciples with alchemy talent.

Because of Cao Rui's intervention, Sun Haoran, who had failed in alchemy, was allowed to join the Alchemy Academy's assessment as an exception.

This made the previously unknown Sun Haoran become a celebrity in the sect who could be compared with the two true disciples.

You know, Cao Rui is the head of the Alchemy Academy. He personally named Sun Haoran to join the Alchemy Academy, which was undoubtedly a great affirmation of Sun Haoran's talent and potential.

Such an honor made Sun Haoran famous among the inner disciples and became the focus of everyone's attention.

Sun Haoran himself was flattered. He had never thought that one day he would receive so much attention.

When Sun Haoran returned to the cave residence on Chaori Peak to pack his luggage, people recognized him and greeted him wherever he went.

All the familiar inner disciples congratulated Sun Haoran.

"Brother Sun, it is fate that our caves are next to each other. Please don't refuse me when I ask you to make pills in the future."

"Junior Brother Sun, you have been valued by the head of the Alchemy Institute. It is only a matter of time before you become a formal alchemist. Congratulations in advance!"

"Junior Brother Sun, you are talented. Unlike me, I have participated in two inner sect competitions in a row but still failed to receive the true teachings. Now I am nearly fifty years old, and I am afraid that there is no hope for me to build a foundation..."

No matter who congratulated him, Sun Haoran would always express his thanks sincerely in response.

In fact, he had been in the sect for nine years, and had only been a member of the inner sect for just one year.

The ones with the deepest feelings are the outer disciples who have lived and eaten together for eight years.

However, their talent for cultivation is too low. They are still struggling in the early stage of Qi Refining and cannot break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining. They are destined to be different from Sun Haoran in the future.

"Alchemy Academy... here I come."

After packing his luggage, Sun Haoran returned the cave on Chaori Peak and rushed to the Alchemy Institute, the holy place of the sect in his mind.

Some are happy, some are worried.

Sun Haoran excitedly rushed to the Alchemy Institute to report.

A jealous gaze was watching Sun Haoran leave from a distance.

This man's name is Wei Chang. He is over fifty years old, has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and has participated in three alchemy tests.

He wanted to become an alchemist.

Repeatedly defeated.

The first two failures did not defeat him.

Instead, he accepted sect missions every day in exchange for elixirs, and continued to spend a large amount of resources on improving his alchemy skills.

This third time, although the recipe he randomly got was not the fasting pill that he was best at, but a detoxification pill, Wei Chang had made sufficient preparations, and he could also refine a pretty good detoxification pill!

With strong belief, the process of refining the detoxification pill went smoothly.

It even exceeded Wei Changping's usual level.

He originally thought he had already won the battle.

According to the tradition of the Alchemy Academy, the academy recruits three disciples into the academy after each assessment. I dare not say that he is the first with his performance, but he will definitely be in the top three.

And just when he was fantasizing about being able to enter the Alchemy Academy.

The head of the Alchemy Institute suddenly made an exception and allowed Sun Haoran, who was causing a furnace explosion nearby, to join the Alchemy Institute.

This abnormal situation gave Wei Chang a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the Alchemy Academy deacon later announced the list of qualified candidates.

Because one spot was occupied by Sun Haoran, only the top two were allowed to advance.

He ranked third in the overall score and had no chance to be admitted to the Alchemy Academy.

"Sun Haoran, you took my place!"

"I, Wei Chang, swear to never share the same heaven with you!"

"And that damn Alchemy Institute's head, damn it!"

Wei Chang cursed wildly in his heart, venting his dissatisfaction.

A figure's face appeared uncontrollably in Wei Chang's mind.

He was a mysterious man he met last time when he went out of the mountain gate to look for elixirs in order to hone his alchemy skills.

He bewitched Wei Chang, saying that as long as he placed a formation plate inside the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect, he would be given a large amount of spirit stones or other rewards.

Wei Chang certainly knew that this was an act of treason. Having grown up in the Spirit Beast Sect and having deep feelings for the sect, Wei Chang flatly rejected the man's instigation.

And now, Wei Chang, whose heart was filled with jealousy and hatred, had lost his mind.

Go trade with that guy...

Otherwise, his cultivation career would be over.

Originally, Wei Chang had a good talent for cultivating immortals, but after becoming obsessed with alchemy, he had not yet broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining at the age of fifty.

In the end, he didn't even join the Alchemy Academy, which means he wasted his time for cultivation.

Wei Chang quickly made up his mind, summoned his Thousand Feather Crane, and quietly left the sect...

......

Inside the alchemy courtyard.

Sun Haoran had just chosen his bedroom in the back hall of the alchemy courtyard and his alchemy room in the middle hall.

Cao Rui called him over.

Cao Rui did not say anything and directly took out the Green Flame Alchemy Technique and handed it to Sun Haoran.

"You have dual-attribute spiritual roots of fire and wood, which makes you suitable for practicing this alchemy technique, which contains many techniques for generating fire from wood."

"This is the Green Flame Alchemy Technique passed down by the previous abbot, Han Yuansheng." Cao Rui said.

"Master Han?" Sun Haoran certainly knew the former master of the Alchemy Academy. It was said that he was killed by a cultivator from the Yunshui Sect when he was out looking for elixirs.

Sun Haoran suddenly felt that the Green Flame Alchemy Technique inherited to him was heavy.

Cao Rui waved his hand:

"Go ahead. If you have any questions about your training, gather together at the end of the month and ask me."

"I will come out for one day at the end of every month."

Sun Haoran nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I asked the deacon to give you three times the space for your trial materials. Make good use of them." Cao Rui added.

If the disciples of the Alchemy Academy want to improve their alchemy skills, they naturally have to keep trying to refine elixirs. The saying that alchemists are made of spirit stones is not groundless.

Every disciple who joins the Alchemy Academy will have an allowance of spiritual medicines for trial use.

This is also the reason why the Alchemy Academy only limits the number of disciples to join to three people. Because there are too many disciples recruited, and there are not enough materials for the disciples to try their hands.

As for Sun Haoran, Cao Rui saw that he had a good talent for alchemy and wanted to train him to be his successor.

At the fourth level of Qi Refining, he had learned how to create fire from wood without any instruction, and he made good use of it. His talent for alchemy was visible to the naked eye.

Alchemy talent is different from spiritual root talent and cannot be materialized. If Cao Rui had not discovered Sun Haoran’s alchemy talent, it would probably have been buried.

If Sun Haoran could be cultivated and used to refine most of the elixirs on behalf of Cao Rui, especially the most important Huanglong Pill, Cao Rui would have it much easier.

"Master, I...can't repay you enough!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Seeing that Cao Rui thought so highly of him, Sun Haoran was so excited that he kowtowed to Cao Rui three times before leaving as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
