The place where the four factions met was at the Arena. When Xia Chen arrived the next day, the stands were already full of people.
The largest group of people is naturally the Zhengxuan sect, with hundreds of Houtian disciples. The second is the Donghua sect, with more than 40 disciples. The Yunling sect and the Zhengyi sect have the smallest number, but there are more than 30 disciples.
Among these people, new disciples accounted for the majority, and the various sects brought them out with the intention of training the new disciples.
Xia Chen looked at the stands, trying to find Sun Li and other new disciples to sit down with.
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him: "Hey, are you Xia Chen?"
Xia Chen turned around and saw a young man in yellow clothes looking at him with a stern expression. His eyebrows were as sharp as a pen and his eyes were menacing.
Behind this well-dressed young man are Wang Qiang, Chen Gang and Tietou. However, compared to their domineering appearance the night before, the three of them now have withered faces and gloomy expressions, and it is obvious at a glance that they have not recovered from serious injuries.
"Senior Brother Song, he is Xia Chen. We almost died at his hands the night before yesterday!" Chen Gang stared at Xia Chen, angry and afraid at the same time.
"How dare you appear in front of me?" Xia Chen was startled, then sneered, "Are you here to die?"
"Xia Chen, you are very arrogant." Senior Brother Song sneered, "You severely injured my junior brother from the Donghua Sect. I, Song Cheng, will not kill you today, but I will trample your dignity under my feet. You
If you are afraid, just kowtow ten times to each of my junior brothers in public, then deprive yourself of your cultivation, and I will let you go!"
"Are you Song Cheng?" Xia Chen said calmly, "I heard these three losers talking about you. Since you want to humiliate me so much, why not try it now and see if you can step on my head.
"
Song Cheng smiled coldly: "Xia Chen, I don't mind your stupidity, because you don't know how big the gap is between you and me! The new disciple alchemy competition is about to begin now. If you want to beg for humiliation, come on and compete.
how!"
"You want to compete with me in elixir refining?" Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Sure!"
Song Cheng smiled contemptuously: "I know that you are Han Dongyu's disciple and have extraordinary attainments in alchemy, but today, you are destined to be humiliated by me."
Xia Chen didn't say anything, smiled faintly, turned and left.
He didn't know how many elixirs he had refined in the past two months, and he had no interest in these childish things. However, since Song Cheng was provocative, Xia Chen would not avoid it.
Song Cheng looked at Xia Chen's back and smiled coldly.
"Senior Brother Song, why didn't you teach him a lesson just now? Your cultivation is enough to kill him instantly." Chen Gang said angrily.
"This is the territory of the Zhengxuan Sect. All the magical monks are watching. You want me to teach him a lesson here? Use your brain, okay?" Song Cheng frowned and said, "In the alchemy competition, I will naturally let his dignity be ruined!"
Xia Chen glanced around and saw Han Dongyu talking to a fat, unfamiliar middle-aged man not far away.
"Master, the disciple is here." Xia Chen walked over and said with a normal expression.
Although he knew that Han Dongyu had harmed him, Xia Chen had learned to bury everything deep in his heart without showing anything strange on the surface.
Han Dongyu said: "You are here. Now we are going to start the new disciple alchemy competition. You should also participate. I know that your alchemy is progressing very quickly, but don't be proud. After all, the new disciples of other sects also have masters. They should learn from each other's strengths."
Xia Chen said: "Yes, this disciple will end up now."
Han Dongyu nodded, and Xia Chen immediately left.
"Brother Han, is this your disciple?" It wasn't until Xia Chen walked away that the middle-aged man looked surprised.
"Yes, what do you think of my disciple, Brother Huang Guang?" Han Dongyu smiled enigmatically.
But I thought in my heart: A disciple with such qualifications can actually be accepted as a disciple by you. It seems that the Zhengxuan sect has really withered away its talents. If this boy participates in the alchemy competition, the new disciples of my Zhengyi sect will definitely make him lose face.
Xia Chen walked towards the stand where the new disciples were, and suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned around and saw Chen Qiushui sitting in the front row of the stand. Seeing him, a smile appeared on his beautiful face and he nodded slightly.
Xia Chen also smiled and nodded, feeling warm in his heart.
"Xia Chen, why are you here? We were just trying to find you! The alchemy competition is about to begin." Seeing Xia Chen's arrival, Sun Li and the others said one after another.
"It's better to come early than to come by chance." Xia Chen smiled slightly.
After a while, all the new disciples of the four major sects came off the field and stood on the fighting field. In front of each of them was a brand-new cauldron that was half a person tall. The medicinal materials were placed next to the cauldron, which was the most basic.
Vitality elixir medicinal materials.
The person standing at the head of the new disciples of the Donghua Sect is Song Cheng, with an indescribable arrogance on his face.
At the front of the Yun Ling Sect is a young man with a rather indifferent expression, as if the world is so big that he doesn't care about everything.
The leader of the main sect was a young girl with quite a beautiful appearance. As she looked around, she looked somewhat similar to Li Yuanyao, which made everyone look at her a little hotter.
These three people stood at the forefront of their respective sects, as if they were the leaders of the new disciples of the three sects.
Xia Chen stands at the forefront of Zhengxuan Sect. Regardless of whether Zhuo Bufan and Li Yuanyao are present or not, he is the leader of the new disciples.
As for Zhuo Bufan and others, they will not be here. Han Dongyu personally took action. If they can still show up, it will be a miracle.
Yue Zifeng and Xu Fang were also in the stands, looking at Xia Chen with deep hatred in their eyes.
In the battle the night before, almost all the powerful disciples under the two men were dispatched, but before they could even defeat Xia Chen, they all returned seriously injured. You can imagine the anger in their hearts.
"That's Song Cheng from the Donghua Sect? I heard that this person is extremely talented in alchemy, and his cultivation is even more unpredictable. It seems that he must be the first in the alchemy competition."
"That's not necessarily the case. Xie Guan of the Yun Ling Sect is also a genius, enough to compete with Song Cheng."
"I'm still optimistic about Qi Zhongyue, who is in the first sect. I heard that this girl is more talented."
"Who is that new disciple of the Zhengxuan Sect? Why have I never seen him in the past few days? He looks very ordinary. How can he be in the first place? Aren't those Zhuo Bufan and Li Yuanyao said to be genius disciples of the Zhengxuan Sect? Why haven't I seen them?
Trace?"
"Xia Chen is here too. Although he is an Ancient Yuan Saint, he doesn't know if he has the same talent in alchemy. The leading disciples of other sects are very strong. I hope he won't lose!"
Discussions among the disciples arose in the stands.
"The alchemy competition begins, and the time is five hundred breaths." The referee disciple announced loudly and planted five sticks of incense beside the arena.
All the new disciples started refining alchemy one after another. Before that, they had all received some basic guidance on alchemy, so there was no such thing as the incomprehensible joke about not knowing how to refining elixir.
Song Cheng, Xie Guan and Qi Zhongyue did not make the elixir immediately. Instead, they all picked up the medicinal materials and looked at them one by one, in order to distinguish the properties of the medicine.
Xia Chen didn't make the elixir immediately, but he didn't pick up the medicinal materials either. He just watched the movements of Song Cheng and the others calmly.
Everyone looked at him strangely, wondering what Xia Chen was doing.
After a while, a stick of incense burned out, and a hundred breaths of time passed.
There was a bang, a slight explosion from a new disciple's cauldron, and a burning smell. The alchemy failed.
As if they were infected, the other new disciples' cauldrons began to hear explosions one after another, and all failed without exception!
Even the best among the new disciples, such as Chen Lie and Sun Li Fangqiu, gave up after persisting for two sticks of incense!
After the third stick of incense was extinguished, only four people, Xia Chen, Song Cheng, Xie Guan and Qi Zhongyue, were left in the field.
However, Xia Chen still didn't take any action and still watched the three people refining the pills.
Everyone was getting more and more shocked, even Han Dongyu, Zhan Kongchen and other magical monks frowned, not understanding what Xia Chen meant.
Song Cheng and others also reached the critical moment of refining the elixir. Sweat broke out on their foreheads and they concentrated on controlling the heat.
The fourth incense burnt out.
"Chengdan!" Suddenly, Xie Guan and Qi Zhongyue shouted in unison.
The two opened the cauldron, and the strong medicinal fragrance swayed out, and then took out several light green pills with spots.
"It's the Hsin-level Vitality Pill! It was actually made into the Hsin-level Vitality Pill!"
"It's amazing. Without the acquired Heavenly Fire, you can actually make a first-grade elixir. Even some old disciples who are acquired at level six or above can't do this!"
"The talents of these two people are simply too powerful!"
Everyone was amazed.
"Cheng Dan!" Another half-stick of incense time passed, and Song Cheng suddenly shouted loudly!
As the dark green luster emerged, a stronger medicinal fragrance spread! Song Cheng opened the cauldron, grabbed the dark green Vitality Pill in his hand, and showed it to the audience!
"Oh my god, the finished Vitality Pill! It's incredible!"
"Such a talent is simply a monster!"
"It really opened my eyes. Song Cheng must be the first in the alchemy competition."
Xie Guan and Qi Zhongyue looked at Song Cheng with envy. In fact, the level of alchemy between the three of them was only between the two, but Song Cheng's cultivation was obviously higher than the two of them, so he was able to refine the finished Vitality Pill.
"Brother Zhao has taken on a good apprentice. It's really enviable." Zhan Kongchen smiled at an old man beside him.
"Haha, Brother Zhan, thank you, thank you." The monk surnamed Zhao said modestly, but his face was full of pride.
At this time, everyone's eyes were only focused on Xia Chen. Until now, Xia Chen still hadn't made a move, but half of the fifth incense stick had been lit.
"What is that new disciple of the Zhengxuan Sect doing? He hasn't made alchemy yet. Does it mean he doesn't know how to do it?"
"What are you doing here if you don't know how to make elixirs? Do you want to impress the public? It really embarrasses the Zhengxuan Sect!"
"Didn't Xia Chen worship Uncle Han as his disciple? No matter how bad he is, he is at least better than the other new disciples. I don't understand what he is going to do. Alas, this time our Zhengxuan sect will be completely disgraced by him, leaving only
With fifty breaths left, even if you start refining the pill now, it’s too late!”
Xie Guan and Qi Zhongyue looked surprised, while Song Cheng looked disdainful. It seemed that Xia Chen didn't know how to make alchemy at all, and was just pretending to be crazy.
Zhan Kongchen and Han Dongyu looked ugly, and were about to shout at the same time.
Suddenly, Xia Chen started to move.
He opened the lid of the cauldron and threw the medicinal materials in without looking at it. With a push of his palms, the charcoal fire suddenly burst into flames. As the powerful zhenqi was stimulated, the flames instantly engulfed the cauldron, which was half a man tall. It almost formed a
A fireball.
This set of movements is like flowing clouds and flowing water, without any stagnation, and it looks pleasing to the eye. Not to mention the new disciples, they are many times better than Song Cheng and the others.
Everyone was stunned. Such alchemy was unprecedented!
The last stick of incense burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cauldron quickly turned dark red under the intense flames.
boom!
At the last moment when the incense went out, the cauldron could no longer withstand the intense burning of such a strong fire and suddenly exploded.
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed involuntarily.
A dark green perfect vitality pill suddenly flew out from the scattered flames, and then gently fell into Xia Chen's hand, clearly displayed in front of everyone.
