Hearing this, Du Xuan said lightly: "Since my senior brother said that my junior brother won the lucky last time, how dare I overestimate myself and compete with my senior brother? My senior brother has always been rich, so he still cares about those thousand magical skills, right?"
Tang Xueyi was also in a good mood. He smiled and said, "How could Xue Hong be worried about a mere thousand magic skills? If the junior brother's magic skills are not enough, you can speak to me."
"That's it!" Tang Xuelian saw that Tang Xueyi said this, and immediately responded, "As long as my junior brother asks me, I will give you two thousand magic skills."
At this time, Hong Er stood up, coughed lightly, and said coldly: "Since the competition is over, you all go back and don't stay here."
"yes."
Everyone bowed and responded.
Tang Xueyi and others have achieved their goals, so they naturally return with satisfaction.
Du Xuan took the initiative to lower his posture and did not compete with the disciples of the Tang Gang. Although his reputation was detrimental, he exchanged for peace and tranquility. Compared with this false reputation, it is naturally much more important to practice quietly and steadily.
The demon cultivator is just a supporting role in this continent and cannot enter the elegant hall. Why should he care about this virtual reputation? Even if he wants to care about the virtual reputation, he should compete with the martial artist.
Recently, Du Xuan has taken the initiative to lower his figure and is not as competitive as before. At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but gradually he found that competing for less face can bring more peace. It goes without saying which is more important.
After ending the harassment of the Tang Gang disciples, Du Xuan couldn't wait to start practicing the third move of the colorful sandalwood stick, the Holy Color Demon Cover. Now he is a third-grade magician. Not only has he practiced this extremely powerful body protection magic, but he can also practice the advanced magic of ** escape and spiral thorns.
High-level ** escape can be anywhere within five meters in front of the caster, and suddenly a ** array with a length and width of up to twenty meters high is far more domineering than a low-level ** escape.
The high-level spiral spear is naturally stronger. It can summon up to twenty spiral bayonets at one time. The power of this magic bayonet is far better than that of the low-level spiral bayonets. The power of the high-level spiral spear is almost equivalent to that of ordinary martial artists at the first or even second level.
As for the Holy Color Demon Cover, the Elephant God Cover, which is like the Elephant Magic Book, is a kind of body-protecting magic, but it is much more powerful than the Elephant God Cover. Not to mention the magic attacks of the Huanghan Color Jade, even if it is the moves of martial artists below the second level of Dharma, this low-level Holy Color Demon Cover can even barely resist it once.
The new magic tricks always make Du Xuan particularly addicted. In addition to practicing on the back mountain every morning, practicing weapons in the afternoon will also deliberately retain magic consciousness in order to keep the new magic tricks at night.
Logically speaking, Du Xuan, who is now a third-grade magician and has also learned the Holy Color Demon Shield, can challenge Zhong Nan and win easily. However, Du Xuan no longer has the intention to challenge others again.
I already know whether to win or lose. If you act in a low-key manner, practice carefully, and you must surpass it, you are not fellow demon cultivators, but the noble martial arts master.
Fortunately, the demonic energy is quiet and restrained, not as ostentatious and manic as the martial energy. It is still difficult to be noticed in a small state.
*******
early morning.
The winter in the sky has not yet revealed a trace of light, and there is still only a waning moon hanging in the sky, giving this canyon a little light.
The frost spreads the floor, making people have to be careful when walking on the road.
The forest is quiet, and occasionally a breeze comes, full of chill.
Four figures were walking forward on this silent mountain path, with slight panting sounds one after another, and the exhaled heat condensed into a white mist in the air. These lively and beating figures complemented this quiet canyon, as if they were integrated into one.
On the top of the mountain, Du Xuan and Long Wanshan were practicing the magic of their respective magic weapons in the distance. Xie Ming and Gu Jinxuan sat on the stone as always and rested and chatted, but Gu Jinxuan's eyes looked at Du Xuan from time to time.
"Xuanzi's colorful sandalwood sticks seem to be more powerful." Xie Ming said casually. Gu Jinxuan was always so absent-minded when chatting with him, and kept looking in Du Xuan's direction.
Gu Jinxuan nodded and said "Yes", laughing: "Brother Xuan is naturally getting more and more powerful in practicing so hard. Look at the spiral thorn, now he can use twenty bayonets to come out."
Practicing colorful sandalwood sticks on the top of the mountain, Du Xuan has only practiced the advanced form of ** escape and spiral thorn recently, and has never practiced the Holy Color Demon Shield.
Long Wanshan is now almost never leaving home, so he is not worried about spreading it. Xie Ming is a disciple who is in trouble, and it is hard to let go. Gu Jinxuan is young, and even if he doesn't tell the public, he will probably tell his mother Gu Yan. Therefore, it is better not to openly practice new magic.
Du Xuan is too cautious and low-key now, and even his friends around him are unwilling to tell him to say more.
"Well, the bayonet seems to be more powerful. Although it is condensed by magic, it is like a real bayonet." Xie Ming nodded and responded.
At this time, Gu Jinxuan turned his head, looked at Xie Ming, and said, "Brother Ming, Brother Xuan and Brother Long practice every day, why don't you practice too? They are all working so hard, why are you lazy?"
Xie Ming smiled and said, "Jinxuan, don't you know this yet? Brother Ming, I am a major in practicing medicine, so I don't have to waste so much time practicing demon fighting. Brother Long also decided to major in practicing demon fighting recently, so he practiced with Xuanzi. In the past, he hadn't had a break with us."
"Brother Long is the main practitioner of demon fighting, why don't you major in demon fighting? What's the point of refining medicine?" Gu Jinxuan curled his lips and continued.
"This..." Xie Ming didn't know how to explain it, and hesitated, "I'm more suitable for refining medicine, but the demon fight is not suitable for me. Moreover, if you learn to refine medicine well, it will be good in the future."
Gu Jinxuan looked at Xie Ming and sighed softly, as if she felt a little disappointed.
"Hey!" Xie Ming seemed to have noticed it and continued to explain, "Xiao Jinxuan, I tell you, there are only three disciples in this Demon Valley who are mainly practicing demon fighting, and there are two in front of you. Most of the disciples are mainly practicing medicines and refining weapons, and I just followed the crowd. Besides, someone must refine some magic medicines for you. Otherwise, what should you do if you get sick and injured? Right?"
"Yes, you are right. From now on, you will make more magical medicines for me, Brother Xuan, and Brother Long." Gu Jinxuan grinned.
Xie Ming immediately patted his chest and promised, "That's definitely no problem! From now on, I will refine any elixir you want."
The two were talking and laughing, and Du Xuan and Long Wanshan also walked over and prepared to go down the mountain.
"Let's go, go down the mountain first." Du Xuan greeted, then remembered something, and said, "Mingzi, the art refining conference is about to begin, you must perform well."
"Me? I'm just a great demon-giver, I'm not qualified." Xie Ming was defeated before the battle.
Gu Jinxuan asked, "Brother Xuan, you will also participate? There are also weapons refining in the art refining conference. Aren't you just a secondary weapon?"
"Forget it, I've just started to refine weapons. I won't be embarrassed by our Demon Valley." Du Xuan shook his head and said.
Xie Ming nodded slightly and expressed his deep agreement. Judging from the last appointment with Zhuang Fei, the weapon refining is indeed far from the same.
Long Wanshan said lightly: "It's okay to try it. If you are lucky and get the recipe you are familiar with, you may be able to survive a round or two."
Xie Ming also remembered that Du Xuan had defeated Tang Xuehong with the Elephant Demon Book at first, and said, "If you draw the Elephant Demon Book, you will definitely pass the first level."
"Forget it." Du Xuan shook his head, "I can't have luck if I want it. I can't make it into the top ten anyway, so I won't waste my time."
Long Wanshan immediately advised: "The art refining conference has gathered my ASEAN demon cultivators. Even if you go to observe how others can refine it, you will benefit a lot. Besides, I also hope that you will be able to refine more magic weapons in the future."
These words made Du Xuan feel a little moved. There are many masters in the art training conference, so it is good to observe and learn from fellow masters up close. As long as you are not too conspicuous, you will not attract too much attention.
"Yes, it won't waste time participating in this. Just think it's been refined in the training room." Xie Ming also advised.
Du Xuan thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, just take it as you learn from the masters."
"That's right." Long Wanshan smiled, "I am mediocre in my qualifications, but I can't be like you, both majoring in demon fighting and practicing weapons. So, in the future, I will really only rely on you for my demon weapons."
Du Xuan nodded with a smile. Now Long Wanshan has completely given up refining medicine and specializes in cultivating demonic fighting. Naturally, he can only rely on others for his devil weapons.
*******
Three days later.
The art refining conference is approaching, and a large number of visitors are gradually pouring in the Demon Valley, which is vast and sparsely populated. Moreover, these visitors are all distinguished guests from the families of major elders in ASEAN.
The Tang Gang was led by the fifth elder Tang Haixue, who brought nearly a hundred people to the gang. Tang Haixue is a great devil master and is as powerful as the elders of the Demon Valley.
Sun Family Fort was led by the fifth elder Sun Weiyu, with more than 80 subordinates coming. Sun Weiyu is a second-grade demon master and is also a person who should not be underestimated in the demon cultivation world.
The Shawang Sect was led by the third elder Wang Ling, and a total of more than 50 people came. Wang Ling was only a first-class magic master, and he was relatively weak among the elder families.
Shangguan Pavilion was led by the fourth elder Shangguan Huo, with a total of more than 40 people coming. Shangguan Huo is also a first-class demon master.
The Nine Palace is closest to the Demon Valley. The deputy sect leaders of the clan, Jiusan, Jiusan and Jiusan are all demon cultivators. This time, they all came to the Demon Valley. Among them, Jiusan is a second-grade demon master, Jiusan is a first-grade demon master, and Jiusan is a great magician.
The Yan clan is also very close to the Demon Valley. The one who came this time was naturally Wu Yanqi, the only demon cultivator among the elders, and the first-grade demon Taoist master.
Of course, there is no need to send people to participate, just send more disciples to protect the safety of the Demon City.
If other small sects or single heroes come to participate in the art refining conference, they can only live in the Magic City. Only when they are in the competition can they enter the Magic Valley, and they have to return to the Magic City after the competition.
After all, there are too many people participating in the art refining conference, and there are at least more than 10,000 VIPs and servants.
The Du Mansion that Du Xuan cares the most was naturally Du Ziwei led the crowd to come. This is also the first time Du Xuan will meet his close relatives in more than a year since he entered the Demon Valley.
