Sister, please help me practice

Chapter 68 Alchemy Competition
San Dan old man?

Chu Ming was taken aback for a moment, but then he suddenly realized that he carefully looked at the white-bearded old man in front of him, and his cheeks twitched involuntarily.

This looks too similar!

Really Santa Claus?
"Deacon Chu, can you please come with me?"

The old man Shengdan stroked his beard and smiled, his tone was very sincere, which dispelled Chu Ming's worries, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart.

What does the Lord of the Holy Pill Hall want from me?
Did he expose the fact that he collapsed the alchemy room and failed to repay the debt?
Such a big person shouldn't care about such small things with me...

Feeling anxious, Chu Ming followed the old man Shengdan to a simple tea house deep in the bamboo forest.

After the two sat down, neither of them opened their mouths first. After a steward brought a pot of tea, the old man Shengdan broke the silence.

"Try it?"

Seeing old man Shengdan making tea and pushing a cup, Chu Ming held it up in both hands and took a sip.

In an instant, the rich tea fragrance spread from the tip of the tongue to all the limbs of the body, causing a burst of spiritual energy to boil.

"Hmm~"

Chu Ming squinted his eyes and moaned comfortably, then couldn't help but praise.

“Good tea!”

Even though he doesn't know how to taste tea, but judging from the bitter sweetness in his mouth, this tea is really top grade!
"This tea is called the leaves of Yushan Mountain. It is collected on the top of Yufeng Mountain. It has been processed and flavored through 81 procedures. It has the effect of clearing the heart and healing the spleen."

After taking a sip, the old man Shengdan stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

"It's my favorite tea."

"Really good."

After some compliments, Chu Ming put down his teacup and asked tentatively.

"So Hall Master, what are you doing looking for this junior today?"

"Can't I find you for tea if I have nothing to do?"

The old man Shengdan smiled slightly, and Chu Ming couldn't help laughing wryly when he saw this.

"You are always in charge of the entire Holy Pill Hall, and you are busy with daily affairs. It is really a blessing for you to find time to meet with me."

"Even if you are in charge of the entire Holy Pill Hall, you can't find a talented young man who has attained in alchemy!"

The old man Shengdan couldn't help but sighed, and then he stared at Chu Ming's slightly surprised eyes and said softly.

"I'm looking for you this time, I really have something to ask you, old man."

"You speak."

Chu Ming said respectfully. Seeing this, the old man Shengdan stroked his beard and looked at the green bamboo swaying outside the window, revealing a trace of helplessness in his tone.

"I want you to replace our Tianyan Sect's Sacred Alchemy Hall to participate in the alchemy competition jointly held by the five major sects..."

"!?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of confusion.

In the Northern Territory, in order to promote the exchange of practice among the disciples of various sects, expand their horizons and experience, the five major sects will hold a certain meeting every once in a while, such as a practice exchange meeting, alchemy competition, etc.

As one of the five major sects, the Tianyan Sect naturally sends disciples to participate every year.

However, isn't this kind of thing usually left to the brothers and sisters of the Neizong?
Why is it my turn this time?

Seeing Chu Ming's bewildered look, the old man Shengdan seemed to see through the doubts in his heart, and said helplessly after a long sigh.

"I know you may have some doubts about this matter, but only you are eligible to participate in the entire Holy Pill Hall."

"The juniors don't quite understand."

Chu Ming asked sincerely.

"Although the younger generation has attainments on the road of alchemy, it is still too mediocre in front of many geniuses. This matter concerns the face of Tian Yanzong. Shouldn't you go to the senior brothers and sisters of Neizong to participate?"

"If only I could find it"

The old man Shengdan took a sip of his tea, his tone slightly sad.

"Deacon Chu, you don't know that our Tianyan Sect mainly recruits some talented disciples on the way of cultivation, and rarely recruits those geniuses who have excellent aptitudes in alchemy."

"This has led to the fact that the young disciples of our Sacred Alchemy Hall are not as good as the next generation. In addition, among the five major sects, there are sects that specialize in alchemy, such as the Hanhai Alchemy Sect. Most of the monks who are talented in alchemy are recruited by them..."

"boom!"

Before Chu Ming could say anything, the old man Shengdan slammed the teacup on the table with a burst of anger.

"I have responded to the group of elders of the Inner Sect many times in the past few years, asking them to increase their support for alchemy and increase the funds for the Holy Pill Hall, but they were all ignored!"

"What do you mean 'Alchemy is a vulgar spell, and if you really want to practice it, you have to improve your realm down-to-earth'."

"..."

Chu Ming nodded sympathetically, and waited for the old man Shengdan to relax slightly before sipping his tea and saying helplessly.

"However, Hall Master, at my level, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing to participate..."

"If the 16-year-old fifth-rank Danxiu is still shameful, the entire Tianyan Sect will be ashamed."

"puff--!"

Chu Ming was so choked up that he took a sip of tea, and was immediately swung down by the old man Shengdan with spiritual power. A sly smile that didn't match his age appeared on his old face.

"Do you think that I have concealed it well, and I can't see it?"

"..."

Chu Ming wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

It's only been a while since I've been in contact with you, and you can see that I am a fifth-grade alchemist... Is it not easy to let people go now? !

"How did you see it?"

"Know it at a glance."

The old man Shengdan chuckled and pointed to his head.

"Your mental strength is already comparable to that of a monk in the Foundation Establishment realm."

so tall?
Chu Ming widened his eyes in surprise.

Although he had expected the level of his spiritual realm long ago, he never expected it to be so high!
How do you feel that you have gradually become a genius gradually?
No, it will be bad if it goes on like this, you have to hang on!
Just when Chu Ming was deep in thought, the old man Shengdan tapped his fingers on the table, his pupils filled with fanatical appreciation and approval.

"Deacon Chu, how are you thinking?"

"This is..."

Chu Ming scratched his head and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the old man Shengdan.

"Don't try to refuse."

"First of all, you don't have any grade requirements to participate in the alchemy competition. After all, with the existence of the Hanhai Alchemy School, it is as difficult as heaven to get a good grade."

"So, you only need to protect the face of our Tianyan Sect."

"?"

Seeing that Chu Ming was puzzled, the old man Shengdan smiled lightly.

"This alchemy competition is not only attended by people from the five major sects, but also talented disciples from many sects in the Northern Territory will come to ask for advice and study."

"So, your final grade should be higher than the disciples of other sects except the five major sects."

"..."

Chu Ming scratched his head, there was something in his heart but he was really embarrassed to say it.

I haven't said that I want to participate yet, why do you act like I will definitely participate...

"Of course, our Holy Pill Hall will also give you some subsidies and rewards."

The old man Shengdan leaned over and whispered in a slightly mysterious voice.

"Deacon Chu, I wonder if you know anything about Tianyan Shenmu Jue?"
