Chapter 42: Daoist Yu Ning, Alchemy

He Pingsheng followed Qiao Shijie Zhao all the way to the back.

First, he passed the ancestor's main hall.

Then he walked past the east side of Senior Uncle Yu Xuan's dojo.

When walking to the dojo of Daoist Master Yude, Qiao Shijie Zhao suddenly said: "Junior Brother He, when you have nothing to do in the future, do not approach Senior Uncle Master Yude's side. He keeps a spiritual beast under his sect, which is violent and cruel, and has even harmed human lives!"

"Oh!"

He Pingsheng nodded cautiously.

Passing Daoist Master Yude's dojo, behind it was the residence of Daoist Yu Ning.

This was also a palace, although not large, it was equipped with a main hall and side halls.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Master, the fellow disciples are all there!" Qiao Shijie Zhao took He Pingsheng into a courtyard and then came to the entrance of the palace.

He Pingsheng looked up and saw three large characters carved on the lintel of the palace: Yu Ninggong.

"Master, the person has been brought!"

Qiao Shijie Zhao bowed respectfully toward the entrance of the main hall.

"Hmm..." A rather peaceful female voice came from the main hall, saying: "You two come in together!"

Then, He Pingsheng and Qiao Shijie Zhao entered the palace.

The palace was very spacious, although the daylight outside couldn't enter, several night-luminescent pearls were embedded on the dome of the palace, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

The ground was spotless.

Sitting directly in front was a Daoist nun who looked about fifty years old, wearing a green Daoist robe, with a solemn face.

In front of the Daoist nun sat ten or so disciples.

The crowd sitting on the cushions all curiously turned their heads and bodies, looking at He Pingsheng one by one, with different expressions.

Some of them, He Pingsheng had seen two years ago, but they couldn't possibly recognize He Pingsheng.

On one hand, He Pingsheng's status at that time was extremely low, and no one looked at him straight; on the other hand, He Pingsheng's body, appearance, and temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes in these two or three years.

"Hurry, kneel down and kowtow to Master!" Qiao Shijie Zhao reminded He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng naturally didn't dare to neglect, and respectfully knelt on the ground to kowtow three times to the Master above.

Only then did the Daoist nun above nod and smile, saying: "Not bad... you may stand up!"

He Pingsheng stood up cautiously and stood respectfully in the main hall.

The Daoist nun said: "My Daoist name is Yu Ning, and from now on, I am your Master. From today on, you are a true disciple under the Yu Ninggong of Xiuzhu Peak. In order, you should be ranked ninth!"

"These are your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, you should meet them one by one!"

After He Pingsheng swept his gaze over the others in front of him, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Junior has met all Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers!"

Everyone laughed.

Daoist Yu Ning said: "You are now at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation, what technique do you cultivate?"

He Pingsheng had long been prepared. He took out a copy of the 【Basic Breathing and Exhaling Method】 he had copied by hand, respectfully presented it to Yu Ning, and said: "Reporting to Master, Junior cultivates this, but mainly with Fire Linggen!"

The Basic Breathing and Exhaling Method does not distinguish attributes.

The level is relatively low, just teaching how to draw Qi into the body and refine spiritual energy. Whatever spiritual energy you refine, you mainly cultivate that attribute Linggen.

"Hmm!" Yu Ning nodded, took the technique and flipped through it twice, saying: "It's been hard for you... to be able to cultivate to such a degree with a basic technique, it seems as Ling'er said, you should be skilled in alchemy!"

"This..." He Pingsheng hurriedly said: "Don't dare to say skilled, Junior only occasionally succeeds in refining!"

"I have a fire-attribute technique secret art here, which is just right for you to cultivate!" Yu Ning took out a book, threw it to He Pingsheng through the air, and said: "Take it back and study it well, consider it a meeting gift from me!"

"In addition, these twenty spirit stones are for your use for the time being. In the future, you can receive inner sect disciple benefits as usual, and there are ten spirit stones every month!"

He Pingsheng was overjoyed, took the items, and thanked her again and again.

It must be said that being an inner sect disciple is good; just after becoming a disciple, everything is given.

Techniques, spells, and spirit stones were all given.

"In addition, there are residences on the left side of my palace, you can choose one, your fellow disciples are all of the same specification!"

"There are also sixteen sets of four-season regular Daoist robes!"

"Go, choose a residence, change into the Daoist robe, and come see me again!"

"Yes!" He Pingsheng chose a relatively remote residence with Qiao Shijie Zhao, and also received sixteen sets of four-season regular Daoist robes, as well as inner sect disciple tokens, etc.

Finally, he changed into new clothes and returned to this Yu Ninggong.

"Not bad!" Daoist Yu Ning nodded and said: "Before you said you were good at alchemy, then good, I will test your alchemy technique!"

"Here are ten portions of materials for 【Qi Gathering Pills】 for you, you can try!"

While speaking, Daoist Yu Ning threw out a jade box.

The jade box landed in front of He Pingsheng.

"Hou Muxian!" Daoist Yu Ning said: "Go out and bring a few portions of wood needed for refining 【Qi Gathering Pills】?"

"Yes!" A tall male disciple wearing a moon-white Daoist robe stood up and left Yu Ninggong.

After about half an incense stick of time, this Hou Muxian brought several miscellaneous disciples into the courtyard.

"Let's go!" Yu Ning said: "Go out and see!"

The firewood was brought, but alchemy definitely couldn't be done in Yu Ninggong, it could only be refined in Daoist Yu Ning's courtyard.

"Open..." Daoist Yu Ning waved her hand and took out an alchemy furnace!

The alchemy furnace was palm-sized, spinning in the void, and instantly turned into a foot-sized circle and landed in front of He Pingsheng.

"He Pingsheng!" Yu Ning said: "According to the rules of the cultivation world, I will give you ten chances. If you can refine 【Qi Gathering Pills】 successfully within ten chances, you will pass my assessment; if you are lying, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

A trace of coldness appeared on her face.

To be honest, at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation, Yu Ning still didn't think much of him.

Such a disciple, she didn't need.

What she valued was He Pingsheng's alchemy technique.

If He Pingsheng dared to lie, the outcome would definitely be very miserable.

"Yes!" He Pingsheng took a deep breath.

Under normal circumstances, his refining success rate was one-third.

Now ten portions were given, if he couldn't refine it in ten portions, then he really didn't need to mix in.

"Master!" He Pingsheng cupped his hands and said: "Junior has a request!"

Yu Ning said: "You say!"

He Pingsheng said: "Junior has his own alchemy furnace, and is used to refining pills with this thing, so I cannot change it temporarily, please Master allow Junior to use his own alchemy furnace!"

Yu Ning nodded and said: "Fine..."

She waved her hand and took back her alchemy furnace.

In fact, Daoist Yu Ning's alchemy furnace was higher in level than He Pingsheng's alchemy furnace.

He Pingsheng's alchemy furnace was a top-tier 【Magic Treasure】 with four layers of restriction on it.

And Daoist Yu Ning's alchemy furnace was a mid-tier 【Spiritual Treasure】 with six layers of restriction on it.

Yu Ning said again: "These two miscellaneous disciples are the ones I use when refining pills in Yu Ninggong, they have no problem controlling the fire, you can rest assured and let them control the fire!"

"Alright, you can start!" ===== CHAPTER 43 =====
