Mortal Seeking Immortal

Early in the morning, people from the palace came to take Ye Zhou into the palace to refine the elixir. The place for this elixir refinement was in the palace.

Ye Zhou made preparations early and got into a specially made luxury carriage. The carriage was closed on all sides and covered with a layer of black cloth to block the detection of spiritual consciousness. As soon as Ye Zhou got on the carriage, the door was closed tightly from the outside.

Ye Zhou's face turned cold and he was about to ask a question when the apologetic voice of the palace official came from outside the carriage: "Master Ye Xian, I'm very sorry. The palace is where the emperor of the Dawu Dynasty lives. In order to protect the safety of the emperor, the imperial master's instructions include: All the immortals including him have to ride this kind of special carriage when entering and exiting the palace, which is really unfair to Master Ye."

The cold look on Ye Zhou's face softened a little after hearing this, and he said lightly: "I understand."

The carriage began to drive slowly, and Ye Zhou sat on the carriage and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Half an hour passed before the carriage stopped. There was a clang, and the closed door was opened by the palace attendant from the outside, letting in the long-lost light.

The palace attendant outside the carriage stood aside respectfully and said, "Chief Ye, the royal alchemy pavilion has arrived. Please step aside and get out of the carriage."

Ye Zhou got out of the carriage and looked around. At this moment, he was in a wide courtyard. There was a high brick-red wall around the courtyard. The high wall was covered with a shield that blocked out any spiritual exploration. As soon as a person's consciousness touches this protective shield, it will bounce back from it.

This should be the shield specially set up by the Imperial Master in order to protect the safety of the royal family. Withdrawing his gaze, Ye Zhou looked at the pavilion in front of him.

This pavilion is very large, divided into three floors. All the doors and windows of the pavilion are carved with various exquisite statues of flowers, birds, fish and animals. The top of the pavilion is paved with golden glazed tiles, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.

There is a fist-sized bronze horn bell hanging on each corner outside the pavilion. The breeze blows, and the horn bell makes a crisp sound of "ding bell clang". There are three golden words "Alchemy Pavilion" written on the plaque outside the pavilion. Big letters.

When Ye Zhou was looking at the entire Alchemy Pavilion, there were several sounds of "squeaking" when a carriage stopped behind him. Ye Zhou turned around and saw a dozen carriages that were exactly the same as the one he was riding in stopped at his side. Behind him, as the carriage door was opened by the palace people outside the carriage, a dozen monks who were above the tenth level of qi training got out of the carriage one after another.

The monks all had arrogant expressions on their faces. Except for the monks who knew each other well, the rest of the monks stood alone and did not talk to others. The palace servants who came to pick up the monks stood silently waiting for the monks. command.

Several of the monks' faces were quite familiar to Ye Zhou. They were the monks who came with Mo Yunzi to invite him to a banquet on his first day in the imperial capital.

Since the death of the eldest prince and the 'disappearance' of Mo Yunzi, the monks who used to follow the eldest prince have also found new places to go. Seeing that they are standing in different camps today, Ye Zhou knows that they have He followed the other princes who were expected to succeed.

Coincidentally, the leading monk standing opposite Ye Zhou was the skinny twelfth-level Qi practitioner who came with the second prince to invite Ye Zhou to the banquet that day. Next to the skinny monk stood two tenth-level Qi practitioners. A monk at the eleventh level of Qi training, the four of them were chatting.

Because Ye Zhou happened to be standing at the door of the Alchemy Pavilion, the skinny monk saw Ye Zhou at a glance, with a cold look in his eyes.

Ye Zhou's expression did not change at all. He glanced at the monks who participated in the joint alchemy. With him, there were only nineteen people in total, and twenty people were needed to jointly make alchemy. The missing person should be Mo Yun, who was eliminated by Ye Zhou. son.

"I wonder how the royal family plans to fill this vacancy?"

Just as Ye Zhou was thinking about it, he saw another carriage slowly approaching from outside the courtyard. This carriage was twice as big as the carriage Ye Zhou and others were riding in, and the horses pulling the carriage were also rare horses with blood.

Three monks dressed in brocade robes got off the carriage.

The man among them was a middle-aged man with a foundation-building level of cultivation. To the left and right of the middle-aged man stood two young men who were at the eleventh level of Qi training and the twelfth level of Qi training. The one who was at the eleventh level of Qi training was The young man was Fan Luo, who was ordered by the Imperial Master to investigate the suspicion of a monk living in the inn.

Not long after the three people came down, the skinny man and others saluted the middle-aged man respectfully and said: "See the Imperial Master."

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of the Imperial Master's mouth, and he looked at everyone and said: "This time, you have worked hard together to refine the elixir for Your Majesty. I will discuss it with Your Majesty. After the elixir is completed, you will all be rewarded generously."

All the monks had smiles on their faces: "Thank you, Imperial Master."

Ye Zhou is a member of the Blood Spirit Sect. He did not salute the foundation-building master of the Dawu Dynasty, but only slightly raised his hand.

The Imperial Master nodded to everyone, then looked at Ye Zhou who was standing alone at the entrance of the Alchemy Pavilion and said, "Your Excellency, you are Ye Zhou, the direct disciple of the Immortal Sect's leader? I have met your senior brother Luo Yun several times. Due to the fate, it is not Luo Yun Luo Yun who comes this time, which makes me a little surprised. "

Ye Zhou said: "Senior Brother has been focusing on cultivation in the past two years, so Master has left some things to me to take care of."

The Imperial Master nodded and praised Ye Zhou repeatedly with awe in his eyes: "So, he is worthy of being the direct disciple of the Immortal Sect's headmaster. He has already achieved the tenth level of Qi training at a young age. His future achievements will surely be immeasurable. !”

Ye Zhou had a perfunctory chat with the Imperial Master, and all the monks' eyes were focused on him, with envy, jealousy, and curiosity in their eyes.

After all, the Imperial Master has a high status in the Dawu Dynasty, second only to the emperor, and even the prince cannot compare to him. No cultivator here is qualified to chat with the Imperial Master, but the Imperial Master obviously has no contempt for Ye Zhou.

After chatting, Ye Zhou and the Imperial Master entered the Alchemy Pavilion together.

As soon as he entered the Alchemy Pavilion, he saw a huge furnace placed in the middle of a formation. On the four sides of the furnace were many prepared spiritual herbs. These spiritual herbs exuded bursts of spiritual fragrance, which made people feel tired.

When some cultivators who came in saw so many spiritual herbs placed in the Alchemy Pavilion, they were shocked, and their eyes showed a little greed for these spiritual herbs.

There were also some cultivators whose expressions did not change, but from their flickering eyes, it can be vaguely seen that their hearts were not as calm as their faces.

Only Ye Zhou glanced at the spiritual herbs and then looked away. Although there were many kinds of spiritual herbs here, they were very common to Ye Zhou, who was used to seeing rare spiritual herbs.

The national teacher coughed lightly, interrupting the shocked cultivators, and pointed at the formation to introduce to everyone: "This time, refining the elixir will take a lot of spiritual power and time. At least three cultivators in the early stage of foundation building will work together to succeed. But I can't find three cultivators in the whole country to refine the elixir for your majesty, so I specially arranged this Qi formation."
