Cultivation of Immortality

As the ninth step was taken, patterns bulged out on the white jade pavement in front of them, bulging out from the surface of the jade before their eyes. The pavement paved with jade seemed to be alive!

Zhui'er's eyes widened in shock at this strange change. Those patterns were vivid spiritual grasses. Not only were they every detail, but the colors were also accurate. In less than a breath, the patterns were all formed. These shapes were neat and tidy. They were arranged, with three spiritual grasses in each row, stretching nearly a hundred feet away.

In the first row of patterns at his feet, a "Thousand Herbs" plant flashed blue light, and then, a "Red Root" plant in the fifth row also flashed blue light.

"Soothing Pill?" Zhui'er had already put a lot of effort into the pill recipe. When he saw these two kinds of spiritual herbs, he immediately thought of the recipe for the Soothing Pill. At this time, the hissing sound behind him was already close to his ears. Without time to think, he hurriedly stepped on the Thousand Herbs, and then jumped to the "Red Root" in the fifth row. Next was the "Ziyun Jue". Zhui'er searched nervously, but he could find three After more than ten rows, there was still no sign of "Ziyun Jue", and I felt panicked. I only had ten breaths in total, and now four breaths have passed, and I haven't found the first spiritual herb yet!

"Too bad!" After realizing that he had fallen into a trap, Zhui'er quickly looked behind him. Sure enough, "Ziyun Jue" was at the left end of the third row. At the same time, he also noticed that the strange snake had arrived in the center. On the steps of the palace, there was only less than three feet away from him!

After Fei Shen tapped the "Ziyun Jue" with his toes, he jumped towards the "Banxincao" in the seventh row without stopping, and used his spiritual sense to detect the stepped "Ziyun Jue" and flashed out. After seeing the blue light, he felt a little more at ease, and he could confirm that the first question was the recipe for the Soothing Pill.

The monarch grass of this calming pill is Qianxiang, Chencao is red root, Ziyunjue, Zuocao and Shicao have nine flavors in total. However, the art of alchemy in the world is much more complicated than the mixing of herbs in the mortal world. Jun, Chen, Zuo , are just the most basic combinations of a pill recipe, and then there are many preparations for spiritual power. There are often hundreds of kinds of spiritual herbs used. This cannot be mastered in just a few years. What Zhui'er has learned at the moment is just memorization. It’s just a commonly used recipe, but even a relatively common recipe like the Calming Pill has more than 70 variations. Zhuo’er is not yet familiar with it, so after skipping more than 20 feet, he selected ten. After a variety of spiritual herbs, another blue light lit up in front, which was "Fire Essence Powder".

Seeing "Fire Essence Powder" being added to the elixir recipe, Zhui'er was convinced. He knew this change well, so after stepping on the "Fire Essence Powder", he quickly selected seven ingredients in succession. As the blue light flashed, he went through three more guides, and he finally finished answering the first question. At this time, his palms were covered with sweat. When he landed on the smooth area of ​​​​the white jade road, the patterns behind him disappeared immediately. , which meant that he could have made his choice within ten breaths.

Zhui'er, who successfully passed the first level, was not excited at all, but felt even heavier. He knew in his heart that being able to complete the first question was almost his limit. This was already an element of luck. If he was halfway through If the one that lights up is not "Fire Essence Powder" but "Earth Essence Powder" or "Water Essence Powder" and other six types of powder, he will probably not be able to pass the test.

The test questions are definitely more difficult than the last. According to the rules, take nine more steps and the second question will appear. These nine steps are for the test taker to calm down. Zhui'er gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step. He couldn't calm down, because he realized that it would be impossible to break through the level successfully, and all he was thinking about now was

It's about how to deal with the snake after failing to break through the level.

He took eight steps full of sorrow. When he raised his feet again, he took a deep breath. No matter what, he had to concentrate and try his best. He felt like a deer forced to the edge of the canyon by a bad wolf, knowing full well that He couldn't jump to the other side, but there was nothing he could do except jump hard.

When the raised foot fell, Zhui'er subconsciously glanced behind him with his spiritual consciousness, wanting to see how far away the snake was from him. Then his body trembled and he exaggeratedly moved the snake. He only raised his feet that were about to fall to the ground, then twisted his upper body back in this weird way, staring wide-eyed at the strange snake that kept wandering on the steps.

"Can't you make it?" After Zhui'er asked this question, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, finally there is something that can stop you!" Zhui'er let out a cathartic laugh. The snake had pushed him so hard that it hadn't allowed him to breathe peacefully from last night to now. Relaxation is really a great enjoyment.

After laughing, his eyes returned to the foot he was raising, and he secretly wondered if if he stepped back instead of moving forward, wouldn't the second question be triggered?

This issue was not mentioned in the divine thought that explained the rules. It is estimated that no one could have expected this situation to occur. Who here for testing would be so bored that he would stop in the middle? Thinking of this, Zhui'er felt a little hope in his heart. According to the rules, if you fail to break through the level, you will be ejected back to the middle hall. So as long as you don't fail, you shouldn't be ejected back, right? The person who set up the mechanism may not consider the situation of someone staying in the middle. Taking nine steps to trigger the opening of the question should measure distance rather than time. Otherwise, if his foot has been hovering for so long, the test should have been started long ago.

Guessing is just guessing, and Zhui'er is not willing to put that foot down easily. What if he guesses wrong? He cherished this precious respite very much. He could hold on for a while longer, so he just raised his feet and enjoyed the rare moment of relaxation.

When the red sun rises in the east, Zhui'er's golden rooster stands there independently. When the scorching sun shines on his head, Zhui'er still doesn't move. When the sun sets in the west, Zhui'er can't hold on anymore. In terms of his physical condition, he can hold on for a few more hours. I can do it, and I can even hold on for another day, but after all, this is not a solution, and it looks too stupid. I have breathed enough for so long, and it is time to take a gamble.

Just when Zhui'er was about to drop that foot behind him, a curious voice rang out.

"what are you doing?"

Zhui'er turned around and saw that the woman in black had appeared at the door of the central hall at some point. She frowned and had a look of confusion on her face. It seemed that she had been thinking about it for a while before she couldn't help but ask the question. of.

Zhui'er suddenly felt a fever in his ears. It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing!

"Hmm... I'm hesitating whether I should pass the next level." He said and moved his legs stretched out in front of him.

"Do you need to hesitate for so long? I've been watching it for a long time."

"I..." Zhui'er wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but it was better to be embarrassed than to lose her life. Since this woman dared to stand here, she must not be afraid of the snake, so she had to ask her to help her get rid of the life-seeking snake. When he thought of this, he realized that the snake was gone! As the ninth step was taken, patterns bulged out on the white jade pavement in front of them, bulging out from the surface of the jade before their eyes. The pavement paved with jade seemed to be alive!
