Chapter 155 Chapter 154 Arriving at the venue and breaking out,
Asking for recommendations and monthly votes!)
"How about it? The Sword-Raising Pill and the Spirit-Tempering Pill are both elixirs from the Qi Refining Stage. Although the two levels are almost the same, there was only one Spirit-Tempering Pill in the conference, and the one I have is the Sword-Raising Pill.
Fang! You, a poor boy like you, should know which one is more important, right?" Li Xiaosong shook the parchment in his hand and said proudly.
"This is the truth, but I have now reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi training. This Spirit Tempering Pill is exactly the pill that I urgently need to break through to the realm of cultivation. And your sword nourishing pill recipe is just a piece of paper in the final analysis.
"Alchemy recipe, I don't even know how to make an elixir, so I might not be able to use it for a while!" Liang Yan said thoughtfully.
"Oh? Really?" Li Xiaosong said with a smile: "I heard last night that someone actually became a sword cultivator. I originally thought that this recipe for sword-raising pills should be useful, but now it seems that it is really a pearl covered in dust.
Got it!"
She sighed as she spoke, looking very regretful, put away the parchment and walked out of the house.
"etc!"
Liang Yan's expression suddenly changed and he suddenly spoke.
Li Xiaosong seemed to have expected it. He stopped in response, turned around and said with a smile: "What? Liang Jianxiu, have you figured it out?"
Liang Yan looked at the elixir in her hand and sighed softly.
It would be a lie to say that he was not interested in the sword-raising elixir. Ever since he embarked on the journey of sword cultivation in the cave of the Sword Testing Road, all he had been thinking about was how to enter the rumored "Sword Embryo Stage".
", to become a true swordsman.
And if you want to condense the sword embryo, this sword nourishing pill is an indispensable resource.
"As far as I know, you are only at the third level of Qi Refining. What do you need this Spirit Tempering Pill for? Is it for Li Xiran?" Liang Yan looked at the girl opposite and asked doubtfully.
"Uncle Junior? No, no, no, Uncle Junior is extremely talented and doesn't need this Spirit Tempering Pill at all. I want this pill, naturally, for others!" Li Xiaosong said, shaking his head.
"Could it be someone else, Yue Xiaozhu?"
"Huh? You're not stupid, you stinky-faced monster!" Li Xiaosong said with some surprise.
"Although Sister Yue usually treats me a little harshly, I also know that she has a sharp tongue and a soft heart. She usually cares about me the most. This time she was unable to come to Luohe because of something, so I wanted to bring a spirit-quenching pill back for her.
.”
"In this case, I agree to this deal. When the time comes, I will hand over the Spirit Tempering Pill with both hands. I also hope that you will not break your promise on the pill recipe." Liang Yan nodded.
"Haha, don't worry!" Li Xiaosong patted his chest and said, "I, Xiaosong, can't catch up with me!"
After Li Xiaosong left the room, Liang Yan sat cross-legged alone.
The reason why he agreed to Li Xiaosong's deal was not because he was hotheaded. Although this Spirit Tempering Pill was exactly what he needed urgently, it was still relatively easy to obtain.
But the recipe for this sword-raising pill is different. After all, there are very few sword cultivators in the Zhao Kingdom, and the recipe is even more difficult to find. It is basically priceless and unmarketable.
If I lose this opportunity, I'm afraid my swordsmanship will be stuck for who knows how many years.
"Well, it seems that for this spirit-tempering pill, we can only think of other solutions after the competition." Liang Yan sighed softly and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he closed his eyes and sat up to meditate.
One day passes quickly.
The sun had just risen the next morning, and two people had already arrived in front of Liang Yan's courtyard, it was Nangong Xiaomei and Li Xiaosong.
At this time, the door creaked open inward, and Liang Yan, dressed in a gray robe, strode out of the room.
"Brother Liang, are you ready?" Nangong Xiaomei said with a smile.
"There is nothing to prepare. Miss Xiaomei, please lead the way." Liang Yan returned the smile.
"Okay, the competition venue is on a ten-mile slope outside Luocheng. Let's set off now." After Nangong Xiaomei finished speaking, she walked out of the courtyard first, followed closely by Liang Yan and Li Xiaosong.
The three of them walked around in circles. Although their pace seemed slow, their speed was actually surprisingly fast. There was not much exchange of words during the process, and they left Luo City in a short time and headed towards Shili Slope.
After walking for about a stick of incense, Liang Yan saw a temporary high wooden platform in front of him from a distance. Under the wooden platform, a deep pit measuring ten feet square was shoveled out.
"Two days ago, when I came to Shilipo in the middle of the night, there was still an open space. I didn't expect that in less than two days, the arena was already set up."
With this thought in mind, Liang Yan looked up and saw a crowd of people under the high platform, with many monks standing there.
Most of these monks were in groups of three or five, and they were clearly distinguishable from each other. They were obviously gathered according to their respective sects.
On the high platform, there were three monks standing. Liang Yan glanced around and realized that these three people were all foundation-building monks.
One of them, Liang Yan knew, was Chu Shi, whom he had met at the Pingfeng Mountain auction before. Standing next to him at this time were a man with a scar and a middle-aged woman in blue palace clothes.
The three of them were whispering something on the high platform, while a group of Qi Refining monks below were also whispering, seemingly discussing the opponents they might encounter later.
At this time, Chu Shi on the high platform glanced over and suddenly looked towards Liang Yan.
Liang Yan was slightly stunned at first, but he immediately realized that this person was looking at Nangong Xiaomei beside him, and he, a big living person, had been completely ignored by him.
As expected, Chu Shi laughed and said:
"Nephew Nangong, you are well and welcome!"
"I don't dare to take it seriously! Senior Chu Shi's style is still the same, which makes people admire him!" Nangong Xiaomei bowed towards the high platform and said with a smile.
"Haha, good nephew, there is no need to be polite." Chu Shihun waved his hand indifferently, then changed the subject and asked: "It's just that the Luohe competition is about to start, why haven't we seen Li Xiran yet?"
"This, juniors don't know either, my junior uncle has been in and out of sight these days, and I don't know much about her movements." Nangong Xiaomei said apologetically.
"Is that so?" Chu Shi frowned slightly and looked at the other two foundation-building monks.
The two people also frowned slightly, and the woman in blue opened her red lips slightly, as if she was about to say something.
At this moment, a clear voice came from behind the crowd:
"Xi Ran was busy with trivial matters and came a little late. Please forgive me!"
Liang Yan turned around and saw a woman wearing a black Taoist robe and her hair tied at the temples stepped out from behind the crowd and landed lightly on the high platform.
Surprisingly, it is this woman Li Xiran!
"Haha, it doesn't matter! It's just the right time now." Chu Shi raised his head and laughed, without even the slightest intention of pursuing the matter.
"Weird! This Li Xiran is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but he can actually be on an equal footing with these foundation-building monks?" Liang Yan was amazed in his heart.
However, before he could think more, Chu Shi on the stage had already shouted
"quiet!"
Following his loud shout, all the Qi Refining monks in the underground stopped and whispered to each other, and all focused their attention on Chu Shi on the stage.
