"Shi Manyin?"

Hearing this name, Yao Jiugong couldn't help but look surprised.

Although he knew that Shi Manyin was a subordinate of Tianzun, the ancient medicine spirit also warned him that there was no problem with Shi Manyin.

However, the ancient trial is a blessing for every ancient force.

Throughout the ages, in order to prevent this kind of creation from falling into the hands of other people with malicious intentions, those chosen by the six ancient forces to participate in the trial can be absolutely trusted.

Just like Jiang Yun also trusted Shi Manyin, but still wanted to hide some things from her, the Taikoo Medicine Sect had never allowed Shi Manyin to participate in the Taikoo Trial.

What's more, Shi Manyin is only a Dharma-level emperor and is not very strong. If she is asked to accompany Jiang Yun to participate in the ancient trial, it is impossible to protect Jiang Yun.

Qingyunzi naturally knew what Yao Jiugong was thinking now, so he closed his eyes slightly and said, "Since this is Yao Ling's intention, then of course he has his reasons."

"We just do it!"

Yao Jiugong nodded. Although he was still full of doubts, he couldn't continue to ask. Instead, he changed the question and said: "In addition to the two of them, do we send other disciples to participate in the Taikoo Trial?" Refining?"

Generally speaking, in the ancient trials, each ancient force can only have two places that must enter.

If you want more places, you need various forces to fight for them.

Since this ancient trial may start suddenly, if it wants to fight for more places, the ancient medicine sect must start selecting disciples now and compete for them when the time comes.

Qingyunzi opened his glasses and said with a look of helplessness on his face: "Who do you think among the remaining disciples has the strength to win a spot?"

Although Qingyunzi did not blame Yao Jiugong, his words made Yao Jiugong blush. He hurriedly lowered his head and said to Qingyunzi: "My nephew is incompetent and has let down his master and uncles." The hope has failed to bring glory to our ancient medicine sect."

Qingyunzi is right.

In today's Taikoo Medicine Sect, except for the Zhen-level Emperor, it can be said that there is not a single disciple who can compete with the other five Taikoo forces for the qualifications to enter the Taikoo Trial based on their strength alone! Originally, Yao Jiugong and Qingyunzi may not have noticed this problem, but this time the disciples of the four ancient forces were looking for people to compete with each other in the ancient medicine sect, and no one of the disciples of the medicine sect could beat the other.

Especially Ling Zhengchuan, who was known as the number one true disciple, pretended to be in seclusion and did not even dare to challenge.

Even though Yao Jiugong and others are no longer willing to admit it, the decline of the Ancient Medicine Sect, especially the weakening of its overall strength, is an indisputable fact! As the sect leader, Yao Jiugong indeed has an unshirkable responsibility.

Qingyunzi shook his head and said, "I can't blame you entirely."

"When Fang Jun competed with those boys before and pointed out their shortcomings, he was actually pointing out the shortcomings of our Medicine Sect."

"We, the Medicine Sect, are also too dependent on external things."

"Moreover, the external objects we rely on can certainly continuously improve our cultivation."

"But this kind of improvement is a shortcut, just like pulling a seedling to encourage growth. The further you go, the greater the disadvantages will be."

The external substances that the ancient medicine sect relies on are naturally all kinds of elixirs! If you don't have enough cultivation, you can get some elixirs! The magic is not powerful enough, so take the elixir! This has become a habit for almost all the disciples of the Medicine Sect.

When taking too many elixirs produces some side effects, or has almost no effect, then refine elixirs that can eliminate these side effects, or refine higher-level elixirs.

In short, the Medicine Sect disciples have to borrow elixirs to solve all the problems they encounter in their practice.

This also caused the strength of the Medicine Sect disciples to become weaker and weaker.

Qingyunzi sighed leisurely and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Although it is almost impossible for other disciples to compete for the quota, we still find a few people to inform them and let them prepare."

"After all, being able to enter the Ancient Trial is indeed beneficial to them."

"As for Fang Jun's refining of medicine tomorrow, while protecting his safety as much as possible, everything is just going to take its course."

After a pause, Qingyunzi continued: "In a moment, go to his place and ask him what else he needs, and we will provide him with whatever he needs!"

"About the ancient trial, you should also explain it to him in detail so that he can be prepared as well."

"Now it seems that Old Yaoling is very fond of him, so we must try our best to ease the relationship with him."

Yao Jiugong nodded and said, "My nephew understands."

Qing Yunzi turned around and left. After Yao Jiugong remained silent for a moment, he also sighed, shook his head, and went to find Jiang Yun.

Facing the arrival of Yao Jiugong, Jiang Yun was not surprised.

Tomorrow is the day when he will officially refine the elixir. The Ancient Medicine Sect will definitely send someone to ask him.

After Yao Jiugong exchanged a few polite words with Jiang Yun, he went straight to the topic: "Elder Fang, do you need anything else for refining the medicine tomorrow?"

"As long as you tell us, we will try our best to provide you with it."

Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head and said: "Except for the ten necessary medicinal materials, nothing else is needed."

Yao Jiugong said hesitantly: "The ten medicinal materials have been prepared a long time ago, but do you really not need anything else?"

"For example, cauldron, flames, etc.?"

The reason why Yao Jiugong wanted to ask specifically was because he knew that Jiang Yun did not have a good cauldron.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

For an alchemist, a good cauldron is indispensable for successfully refining elixirs.

Although Jiang Yun was empty-handed last time and directly refined the ninth-grade elixir that caused the elixir disaster.

However, what he wanted to refine this time was ancient elixir.

If Jiang Yun still refined it with bare hands, it would be a waste of ten precious medicinal materials and there would be no chance of success.

Jiang Yun shook his head again and said: "I have prepared the cauldron and flames."

Since Jiang Yun insisted not to do so, it was hard for Yao Jiugong to say anything more.

After pondering for a moment, he changed the topic and said: "The other five ancient forces may start the ancient trial when you finish refining the elixir."

Yao Jiugong told Jiang Yun in detail about the ancient medicine spirit.

Regarding the ancient trial, Jiang Yun had already heard about it from his teacher Manyin.

But he really didn't know what the Ancient Trial was, and naturally he wouldn't have thought that the five ancient forces would be detrimental to him in the Ancient Trial.

Yao Jiugong explained: "The ancient trial, to put it simply, is when the six ancient spirits open up a separate space, and each presents a problem in it, allowing the disciples of the six families to understand and solve it together."

"Whoever can solve the problem will get corresponding benefits no matter which ancient force you come from."

"However, there are many dangers and difficulties in solving this problem."

"Some problems have their own dangers. Moreover, you must prevent interference and sneak attacks from other forces."

"Especially because some benefits are specific. Once you obtain them and others know about them, you may become the target of public criticism and be besieged by everyone."

After listening to Yao Jiugong's explanation of the ancient trial, Jiang Yun's face showed a look of understanding, but he was also a little confused.

"Then the disciples of each family can solve the problems raised by the ancient spirits of each family, isn't it enough?"

Yao Jiugong smiled and shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think."

"Because people who have participated in the ancient trials are not allowed to tell you about the difficulties they encountered, so I can't give you a more specific explanation."

"I can only tell you that each person can only enter the ancient trial once."

"Throughout the ages, we have conducted an ancient trial every once in a while, but so far, no group of trial monks has ever been able to solve all the puzzles!"

Jiang Yun nodded, but still couldn't figure out what the meaning of this so-called trial by the ancient spirits was! However, he did not continue to ask.

Anyway, I will soon be able to witness this ancient trial, and perhaps, I can find the answer from it.
