Chapter 1 Dirty Elixir
During this year's practice examination, Yunjianmen, located in Yundanzhou, recruited many outstanding combatants. Regardless of boys and girls, everyone has only one idea to enter Yunjianmen, which is to become a sword cultivator who respects all living beings.
The boys held the blue iron sword in their hands and looked at the sharp sword blade that could kill people. They were all ambitious. As long as they had strong strength in their hands, in addition to being honored and wealth, they were also favored by countless beauties.
The girls got the Glazed Sword. The translucent sword body lacked a bit of fierceness and more gentle and elegant. They looked at the Glazed Sword in the sun, imagining that they would be a pure and innocent female cultivator in the future, as beautiful and elegant as a fairy, and couldn't help but start to pay attention to their demeanor and smile without showing their teeth.
Outside the Zhichu Palace halfway up the mountain of Zhishang Peak, these half-sized children have been learning for a month. The sword technique has only learned a few moves and have been listening to it for most of the time. Sword cultivators must also be able to read, and it is impossible to practice it with a few sword dances. Today, these 200 new disciples are very excited. They will receive the first elixir of the entry, Taihe Pills specially made for them to clean the marrow and clear the body.
During the two-year introductory period, they had to take twenty-four Taihe Pills. When the two-year period expired, the peak masters of each peak would choose the right person to be disciples. The better they performed, the more they had the right to choose. When several peak masters wanted to choose one, the person could choose the peak they wanted to go to.
Therefore, Taihe Pills are a very important thing, which directly affects future life. Those wealthy children at home will not underestimate these elixirs, mainly because they are too expensive to buy outside.
The senior brothers and sisters who had been in the first year also stood behind. Compared to these children who had just entered, they were much more mature. They were wearing light green door clothes and holding their hands behind their backs, waiting quietly for Wuyaotang to deliver medicine.
At this time, someone was sharp-eyed and found that a cauldron that was rising from the top of the mountain was slowly moving down, and he couldn't help but cry down: "Look, that cauldron can walk by itself!"
The sound was not loud but it was still spreading around. All the disciples in the entrance exam looked up at the mountain and saw a large cauldron that was descending the stone steps. This shocked them. This was the legendary spiritual treasure, and it could move on its own!
"That's the junior sister from Wuyaotang, who came to deliver the pills." The disciples standing behind saw them fussing and explained.
After hearing his words, everyone stretched their necks to look carefully, and found that there was a girl under the cauldron, who was three or four years older than them. Seeing her carrying two tall cauldrons on her back, she walked down the stone steps step by step, and there was a high cliff next to her, which made people sweat for her.
At this moment, a girl said, "I know her. My cousin mentioned to me that she is the furnace and cauldron of the Lord of the Wuyao Hall."
"Ah!" Everyone screamed in surprise, it turned out to be a furnace!
Although these disciples have just started, in places where monks and civilians are inseparable from each other, almost no one knows about the lace-ups like furnaces and cauldrons. If a girl who is found to be qualified after birth is not obedient, she will be deceived into making a furnace. As long as the elders are scared like this, the girls will not dare to run around.
The new disciple stared at the tripod excitedly and curiously, as he watched them get closer and closer.
Lu Xiaoding finally walked through the long stone steps with the heavy tripod on his back, stopped and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He used to be attached to the tripod, but after he became a human for no reason, he had to carry the tripod on his back, so that she could feel how heavy the body that had turned into pig iron was.
"Hmm? Why are they staring at me?" She looked up and was about to go over with her tripod on her back when she saw all the new disciples over there looking at her, with a novel and excited look on her face.
At this time, I heard a rumor coming from over there, "Hurry, look! She's looking at us."
"The furnace and cauldron are so thin. I thought they would look very beautiful and charming. It turns out that they are dried radishes."
"It's a snail, right? Look at her carrying a tripod, she is slow and funny, like a slow snail! Hahahaha..."
All of these half-aged children laughed. What kind of furnace and cauldron is not beautiful at all, and they are like foodies.
The disciples who had been in the school for a year didn't say anything, and stood up with their mouths closed. The corners of their eyes looked at the senior brother who was standing aside without saying anything.
It is not the turn of disciples like them to teach them. They usually send senior brothers from Zhishangfeng to come. The two senior brothers today did not criticize everyone. It seems that they wanted the new disciples to know the consequences of not following the rules in such occasions.
Lu Xiaoding looked at them blankly. These guys were carrying the furnace and cauldron again. When she was picked up by the master of Wuyaotang half a year ago, she didn't know anything. She was as stupid as an idiot, so she did a stupid thing.
The master led her to meet the head of the sect. In front of everyone, when the head of the sect asked her name, she honestly said that she was a furnace and cauldron. Although the master quickly said that he had no name when he picked it up, so he asked her and her Yaotong's surname to be named Lu Xiaoding, but unfortunately it was still too late. The story of the furnace and cauldron spread all of a sudden, and the entire sect knew about this. There were many people spreading it, and gradually the matter became real.
Lu Xiaoding, who had been learning knowledge for half a year, is no longer the girl who knew nothing before, so she had a confused expression on her face and walked towards those people with a daze on her back.
Suddenly, her feet slipped and she fell to the ground. The heavy cauldron directly pressed on her, which scared the disciples of the entry. They would not be crushed to death on the spot!
Lu Xiaoding waved his hands and feet like a turtle, and finally climbed out of the side. As soon as he stood up, a small cloth bag fell out of her arms, and white pills were sprinkled all over the floor.
"Ah! My pills, stop quickly!" She rushed over with a quick step, and stepped on the rolling pills. Many of them rolled into the grass on the side of the road, and she followed her into the grass, stomping on her endlessly.
Everyone stared at her blankly, their eyes focused on her waist, and even tied themselves and the cauldron together. Who would want to steal her things? They were so thieves!
After half a cup of tea, Lu Xiaoding finally came out. She picked up all the pills that had just fallen to the ground. The pills were covered with a lot of mud, and she put them in the hem of her robe.
"It's so good, there's not a single pill of medicine." She sighed with relief and smiled sweetly, then pulled the shoulder strap of the tripod on her back with one hand and dragged the tripod to Zhichu Square.
Every time I took a step, the tripod rubbed against the stone slab and made a harsh sound, which made everyone feel uncomfortable. The ears were even more quarrel. As soon as I heard the noise, my teeth would feel soft.
Lu Xiaoding finally dragged the Ding to the two senior brothers Zhishangfeng, bowed to them, and then smiled and said, "Two senior brothers, I'm here to deliver the pills."
"Yes." The two disciples from Zhishang Peak glanced at the pills she had wrapped around her clothes. The pills that were originally white were covered with mud and grass residue, so dirty that they seemed to be unable to eat them at all.
There are also differences in giving elixirs to introductory disciples. Lu Xiaoding first came to the disciples who were introductory last year. Instead of taking the dirty medicine on the hem of the clothes, she took out the clean elixirs from the small cloth bag in her arms and gave them a smile.
"Dear brothers, this is Taihe Wan this month, please accept it."
Even if it is just Taihe Pills, it is the pill they need very much now. Everyone knows that this school’s alchemy technique is so poor. If you have a good relationship with these medicine children in the medicine hall, there are only benefits but no harm. After receiving the medicine, you thanked him politely, "Thank you, junior sister."
The new disciple looked at her distributing medicine with a gaze. Unfortunately, their qualifications were too low, so they could only wait until their senior brothers and sisters took the medicine before they could be their turn.
Lu Xiaoding divided the old disciple's medicine and finally gave it to them. She picked up a pill with mud from the hem of her clothes and handed it to a little disciple.
"This is dirty, how can I eat it?" The other party did not answer, but pointed to the pills stained with mud and asked. Even if he was young, he could know what to eat and who to coax.
"Ah!" Lu Xiaoding looked at him with a look of surprise, and then said pitifully: "But I fell down, your medicine fell to the ground. If you don't want it, you will be gone this month's Taihe Pills."
Her words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the crowd. Their children were still very angry and said unconvincedly: "You made the pill dirty yourself, why should we eat this kind of dirty thing?"
"Yes, we need clean elixirs, hurry up and get them. You should compensate for these dirty ones. Whoever makes you not walk well will have something to do with us!"
She is so clumsy. She can't do this little thing well. No wonder she would make a furnace for others. The little disciples looked down on her very much. The first pill she got into was dirty, which was too unreasonable.
Everyone accused her, and the senior brothers did not meddle in other people's business, so they started to curse unscrupulously. The more they quarreled, the more they became, and alarmed the senior brothers who were studying in the halls next to them.
The sound of dragging the tripod just now made them noise, but now they are still clamoring outside, saying that this is a market and they are not allowed to practice!
Seeing that even the disciples who were studying could not practice with peace of mind, a master became angry and pushed open the door and walked out to the square and shouted angrily: "What are you making noise? What kind of morality!"
Xie Hong frowned and looked at the group of newly-entered disciples outside. Are they all arrogant and abusive goods? He couldn't even stand outside quietly and wait for the elixirs, and he didn't understand the rules at all!
Just as he wanted to teach them a few harsh words and then called the disciples who were disciplined and scolded them fiercely, a figure suddenly rushed over, grabbed his sleeve and started crying.
"Uncle Xie, they bullied me. They said I was a furnace and devil. They thought the Taihe Pills I had had were dirty, so no one would ask me to go back and get the pure and flawless pills again!" Lu Xiaoding cried in tears, and the Taihe Pills on the hem of his clothes fell to the ground again.
She immediately let go of Xie Hong's sleeves and quickly grabbed the pills on the ground. Then she held a few pills that were stained with mud and burst into tears, "Uncle Master, it's all my fault. Taihe Pills fell to the ground and got dirty."
