Medicine House Incident
Zhou Lie's aura was tainted with a hint of sharpness, and there was also an unconcealable vitality.
Competing on the same stage with his peers changed his vision and state of mind slightly, not to the extent of earth-shaking, but it was like a new stream of water was added, washing away some of the previous staleness.
"Elder Yaolu's student? If it's your choice, I don't want to eliminate you."
Zhou Lie's opponent is a young man in green. His qualifications are not bad, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi refining.
This time, Yaolu sponsored the outer sect competition very much, and he benefited from this, and he was somewhat grateful to the elders of Yaolu.
Zhou Lie is the disciple of Elder Yaolu. He would rather eliminate others than let them lose.
But there's nothing you can do, if you encounter someone, there's always one person who needs to be eliminated.
The most he could do was to strike lightly and let Zhou Lie end with dignity.
"Although the difference is a small level, it is a problem, but I will not be discouraged."
Zhou Lie regards Chen Sheng as his life criterion in everything, and has his own concerns when encountering problems. He said: "Teacher also tried it back then and succeeded."
As far as he knew, the teacher had tied with a Qi Refining Realm monk who was a little higher than him.
What the teacher can do, the disciple must also work hard to accomplish.
"Fighting by leapfrogging is the only one in ten thousand."
The young man in green smiled. He heard the word "leapfrogging" a lot, and thought it was an extremely simple thing. In fact, it was very difficult. That was the domain of genius.
These people are not geniuses. They cannot be absolutely sure of killing at the same level, so why talk about others.
Zhou Lie naturally knows this truth, but when he really encounters it, he has to give it a try. Even if it fails, he still tries his best.
boom.
He has no hidden clumsiness, nor does he have the conditions. As soon as he takes action, he reaches the peak combat power of the eighth level of Qi refining. He forms seals with his hands and performs a fire technique.
On the fighting stage, complex light patterns intertwined, stirring up the aura of the void, and instantly burned with fierce flames.
Zhou Lie was like a god who commanded the flames. With a thought, snakes flew into chaos, unicorns and beasts roared past, heading straight for the enemy's facade.
"As expected of an alchemist."
The young man in green exclaimed in admiration, Zhou Lie's control over flames was hard to match among monks in the Qi Refining Realm.
This is the advantage of the alchemist. When refining the alchemy, everything in the furnace is changing rapidly, so naturally the art of controlling fire with one hand is extremely subtle.
He stood still with a calm expression. Fighting and alchemy were two different fields.
This fire cannot hurt him.
The young man in green raised his two fingers together in the shape of a sword, and slashed them down repeatedly. The sharp sword energy generated by the strong magic power killed all the fire beasts that were rushing towards him.
Then, he turned his hand into a sword to make a seal, crouched down, and pressed down inch by inch.
The whole process was very slow, as if the seal in his hand was as heavy as a stone and could not be pushed immediately.
boom!
After one or two breaths, his seal finally touched the ground, and there was a sudden earthquake, as if three mountains and five mountains collapsed, an earth-shattering wave that spread outwards.
On the fighting stage, the protective formations branded on them were flashing continuously, and formations appeared one after another, absorbing the surging destructive power.
The ever-growing flame was chipped away layer by layer, and as soon as the storm passed, it was completely extinguished.
"It's better to send you down earlier."
The green-robed young man's seal was extremely powerful and domineering. After finishing the move, he changed his crouching posture and rushed out like a real dragon. With a move of his hand, an extra halberd appeared.
Shadows were swaying, and no trace of human beings could be seen.
In Zhou Lie's eyes, there was only that big halberd. It was dark, deep and thick, filling the world in his eyes. It was like an incomparably huge black dragon, with one scale and a half of its claws showing, it could cover the sky.
Without hesitation, he sacrificed the Xuance Furnace, which he had cultivated for many years. This magic weapon was in harmony with his Qi and his mind, and fell on the top of his head. The majestic fire light dropped down, anchoring the void and protecting his body.
boom!
The halberd fell, the alchemy furnace trembled, the sky was dim, and the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth scraped hard.
Seeing that the attack was stopped, the young man in green became more energetic. As long as Zhou Lie was protected, he would not be afraid of beating people up.
then……
On the fighting stage, a young man held a big halberd and struck it repeatedly on the alchemy furnace like a big drum.
"The difference in realm is truly terrifying."
Zhou Lie gritted his teeth and used his magic power to hit Xuance's furnace, trying to maintain an undefeated situation.
He also knows that this won't work.
Therefore, he lit a dark fire in the alchemy furnace, and the terrifying aura of the magic spell lingered and intertwined, turning it into a small bird.
After more than a dozen breaths, the bird rushed out of the alchemy furnace, spread its wings, and extended its feathers to two feet in length. It turned into a divine bird that burns the sky and killed the young man in green.
"After all, he is the disciple of Elder Yaolu."
Upon seeing this, the young man in green showed a serious look in his eyes. This attack condensed the essence of fire control and fire magic. It was extremely powerful and could already hurt a monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
He exhaled a long breath, his belly flashed like thunder, a mysterious light spread on his body surface, and his breath suddenly rose to the sky.
immediately……
As soon as he spat it out, his breath fell, but a group of terrifying Xuanyin water thunder flew out.
As soon as the void was revealed, the sky changed drastically. In the chaos and darkness, the divine bird that burned the sky was swallowed up in one bite.
In an instant, the Xuanyin Water Mine couldn't hold on and exploded with a bang. However, it followed the wishes of the young man in green and swept Zhou Lie out of the fighting stage.
"Lost..."
Zhou Lie stood up in embarrassment, looked at the fighting platform, and wanted to take a look at the high platform watching the battle, but he held back, lowered his head slightly, and walked outside.
What he didn't see was that his teacher on the high platform had been paying attention to him.
"If you think clearly, your life will be better."
Chen Sheng's eyes were dull, and he asked Zhou Lie to participate in this outer sect competition for no other reason than to sharpen his apprenticeship.
Zhou Lie is very good, but he always seems to have something on his body and feels uncomfortable.
Let him come into contact with his contemporaries and see other people's styles, and maybe he can gain some insights.
This time, Zhou Lie did not return to Yaolu, and he did not know where he was going. He walked and wandered to the quiet courtyard on Zhuxia Peak.
This was the place where the teacher first lived, and it was left here intentionally, and no one moved in later.
He randomly found a place, sat down, and looked around, wanting to know how he could be as powerful as a teacher.
"Am I being too pretentious?"
Zhou Lie knew that there was something wrong with him. His body and mind were bound by invisible shackles, and the reason for the shackles was that he had put them on himself.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a first-level alchemist and a disciple of Elder Yaolu, with a respected position and a man who can call the wind and rain.
But he knew in his heart that he was just a lucky man.
The reason why he was chosen by his teacher was not because of his transcendent talent, nor because of his indestructible Taoist heart, but because of the friendship left by his family ancestors in the past, which allowed him to achieve what he has today.
In order to be able to match this opportunity, he followed the teacher as his criterion in everything, and did not dare to relax for a moment on the alchemy path, for fear of letting outsiders say that he was nothing.
Even though the teacher didn't care much, he seemed to have noticed something and asked him to let go of himself.
"If I let them know, they might spit in my face."
During the outer sect competition, Zhou Lie saw that the real situation of an outer sect disciple was quite miserable.
Cultivation resources are extremely scarce, so you have to fight for everything.
There are no martial arts pills at all, and the only way to survive and perish is to become a Youwei Temple and earn contribution points.
And these were never something he used to think about.
What he cares about is spiritual things, not the material level.
This kind of overthinking after being full made him feel that he was indeed too pretentious and coy sometimes.
People of my generation, even those with nothing but nothing, dare to venture into it.
In comparison, his starting point is already high enough.
"Maybe, there's nothing to be afraid of."
This sentence suddenly appeared in my mind.
Zhou Lie shouted, his voice gradually becoming firmer. It was time to throw away those messy things.
Travel lightly, transform into a spirited young man on a high platform, and fight hard.
Dragon Palace.
"Teacher, I lost."
Zhou Lie came back. There was still a look of shame on his face. After all, he had lost and had lost the teacher's face.
But fortunately, his eyes were no longer evasive and he was able to look at his heart, as if he had taken off some things, showing a sense of relief.
"Um."
Chen Sheng didn't show it on his face, but he was still very happy in his heart.
Zhou Lie is a man who respects his teachers. He likes him very much and hopes that he can go further on the road to immortality.
"I want to go out and experience it."
After standing for a while, Zhou Lie finally said his plan. He wanted to see the outside world, like an ordinary outer disciple, go out on his own and sharpen his Taoist heart.
"good."
Chen Sheng still looked calm.
He never interferes with other people's will. At most, he gives advice to a teacher. After all, practice depends on the individual.
There is nothing wrong with Zhou Lie wanting to travel far and hone himself so that he can fly high like a fledgling.
"Bring everything you need to bring. If you encounter something you can't handle, don't force it. Just write a letter and come over."
The world of cultivating immortals is very cruel. If Zhou Lie goes out, he is bound to encounter many dangerous things.
Lu Zhu will be worried about this, but this is Zhou Lie's personal choice. She will not stop it, but just warns to be careful in everything.
"Master Wife, I know."
Zhou Lie reluctantly said.
Longxing Palace carries everything in his life. His teacher and his wife are the most important people to him. If he goes out to practice again, he will miss this place often.
…
After building the foundation, Chen Sheng let the outer sect competition worry him. At this moment, he stepped out and turned his gaze to the Medicine House.
It's time for another round of adjustments to Yaolu's personnel structure.
Discussion tomorrow.
His order was conveyed simultaneously in the Twelve Halls of Yaolu. All the alchemists received the news and did not dare to neglect it.
This was Chen Sheng's first discussion after he established the foundation, and it was of great significance.
According to the calculation of the lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Yaolu will be under the control of this person for at least a hundred years.
What kind of future will they have in these more than a hundred years? This time is an important turning point.
The next day.
Time is up.
Chen Sheng did not go to the meeting hall, but came to the desk, sat down, picked up the stacked documents and looked at them.
It's the beginning of the month again, and it's time to deal with some internal matters.
"Three hundred Qingge Pills from Yangxin Peak, plus five hundred Bloodthirsty Pills."
"Bai Yufeng has one thousand Qi Condensing Pills and three hundred Brain God Pills."
"The Law Enforcement Hall contains 1,500 Qi-nourishing Pills and 500 Blood-Coagulating Pills."
"Inner Sect Chang Mingfeng, five hundred Qi Condensing Pills, five hundred Que Que Replenishing Pills."
…
They were all ordinary documents from various genres. Chen Sheng had already taken the easy way out, divided them up casually, and dealt with them in a few strokes.
Next, there are some things that are really worth dealing with.
"The alchemist Xiao Daofeng colluded with the inner sect, intending to get involved in Yaolu."
Chen Sheng was a little happy when he saw this document. He looked at the name seal on the back and found that it was indeed "Qi Luo".
As he delayed in breaking through to build the foundation, and as he grew older, Yaolu's authority became somewhat unstable.
Like a king in ancient times, his strength is old and his mind is confused. Even if he is still sitting in that position, his ministers are restless.
He remembered that Xiao Daofeng was a senior member of the Yaolu and had a very senior position. Although a rising star like Qi Luo had similar alchemy skills, he was still beaten by half.
The matter of Yaolu involved the inner sect. It was after he came to power and relied on the foundation laid by Mr. Shen to gradually plot and develop over the past few decades that he expanded his base a lot and made people jealous.
Although the two families are from the same family, Chen Sheng is the person in charge of Yaolu and naturally does not want others to get involved.
Over the years, the hand of the Neimen Medicine Refining Hall reached out to him many times, but he knocked it off.
The fact is that the evil spirit of the Medicine Refining Hall persists. Seeing that he is getting old, he has made plans to support others and go one step further to engulf the channels of the Medicine House.
He asked him to put this document away.
Once the drawers are opened, they all fall down.
This young man had a sincere heart. After becoming aware of Xiao Daofeng's ambition a few years ago, he would write a document expressing his concerns every year and a half.
Although he suppressed it, he was not discouraged and kept writing documents and persevered.
"The Forty-Nine City Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce will auction a second-level alchemy master's inheritance on April 9th. If you are interested, you can take a look."
The last document was sent by Mr. Shen.
After breaking through the foundation-building realm, the path of a second-level alchemist was rarely passed down by Yaolu, so Chen Sheng wrote to Mr. Shen to learn from the elders.
Mr. Shen didn't hide it either, and kept trying to clear up doubts.
This time, when such news came, I thought he might be interested.
"Forty-nine cities, let's take a trip then."
Chen Sheng said casually.
It is easy for him to take charge of Yaolu and obtain such a inheritance.
meeting hall.
The alchemists of the Twelve Halls of Yaolu gathered together. A rough count found that there were fifty or sixty people, which can be considered prosperous.
Time goes by little by little, and it has been delayed for half an hour and has not started yet.
Many alchemists have realized something, watch your nose with your eyes, watch your nose with your mouth, and sit still to avoid losing your posture.
Like this, half an hour passed.
"Why aren't the elders here yet?"
An old man with gray hair, decent clothes, and jade-like skin couldn't sit still, his eyes turned around, and finally he spoke.
Many alchemists looked at him but did not respond.
Only a young alchemist, with eyes as clear as blue water and sharp sword eyebrows, raised his eyebrows at him.
"Master Xiao, why are you in a hurry? If the elder doesn't come, just wait."
Qi Luo is not a restrained person. If he doesn't understand something, he will definitely say it. He said: "Or, do you have other ideas?"
The last sentence he said was so plausible that it was hard not to make people think in a dark direction.
Chapter completed!
