Huangfu was extremely confused, and all the disciples looked straight at him, waiting for him to fulfill the punishment for failing the challenge.
All the disciples changed their tone and began to belittle Huangfu Ji and elevate Gu Chen.
"I saw it just now. Although Junior Brother Huangfu is very talented, how can he compare to Junior Brother Gu's arrogant Tianbin? Challenging Junior Brother Gu is simply asking for trouble..."
"Yes, Junior Brother Gu became a sixth-grade alchemist after only one year of entry. It is Senior Sister Xu who is the most talented person in this lineage. I heard that it took 3 years to become a sixth-grade alchemist?"
"Haha... Someone just laughed at Junior Brother Gu, saying that he would definitely win. Hehe... Now it's a slap in the face!"
Although these senior brothers spoke in extremely low voices, the people present were all monks at the Xiantian realm or above, and Huangfuji could vaguely hear them.
Huangfu Ji stood there in a daze. Under the gaze of everyone, he had nowhere to hide. Not only the younger disciples, but also the elders and the first Huang Yaoxian were all here. The challenge between Gu Chen and Huangfu Ji was within the normal range.
The chief and the elders could not interfere.
Huangfu really didn't want to slap himself, but he was the one who wrote the challenge letter first to challenge Gu Chen, and he told every brother he knew about the challenge. Now the elders of Baicao Peak,
All the disciples knew that he was the first to challenge Gu Chen.
However, the loser was Huangfu Ji himself. With so many people staring at him, how could Huangfu Ji stand on the stage?
Although Huangfu really didn't want to slap himself in front of everyone, how could he go back on his word with all the elders and disciples watching?
"Okay...I'll smoke..." Huangfu closed his eyes and said through gritted teeth.
Gu Chen raised his hand to signal Huangfu Ji to be casual. Huangfu Ji closed his eyes. He had reached this point and he could only break the jar and slap him on the face.
There was no "pop..." sound that everyone expected, and a figure suddenly flashed in front of Huangfu Ji. It was Wu Zhen. He grasped Huangfu Ji's palm like lightning and said: "Junior Brother Huangfu, since Junior Brother Gu has a broad mind, you
Why bother with it? Junior Brother Gu said that he will not force you."
Huangfu Ji was waiting for someone to come to intercede. He really didn't want to slap himself. When Wu Zhen opened his mouth, Huangfu Ji immediately stepped down.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wuzhen! Thank you, Senior Brother Wuzhen..." Huangfu said with tears of gratitude.
The disciples thought they could see someone doing a good show, but they didn't expect Wu Zhen to step in and were disappointed. However, they didn't dare to complain about Wu Zhen.
Gu Chen frowned and glanced at Wuzhen and Huangfuji, thinking that Wuzhen was so shameless. The disciples had challenged the agreement, even the elders, chiefs and other elders were not allowed to interfere, but he came to interfere.
However, Gu Chen had just spoken and said that he would not force him, so naturally it was not easy to change his tone now and be aggressive. Huangfu Ji had already lost face, so he left it alone.
The challenge between Gu Chen and Huangfu Ji came to an end. Everyone was a little disappointed because they did not see Huangfu Ji's self-defeating show. After a while, the alchemy competition continued, and the disciples who had not finished refining the elixir continued to make alchemy.
Gu Chen nodded and smiled at Xu Ziyuan. Huang Yaoxian walked directly to Gu Chen, while Xu Ziyuan continued to return to the No. 10 Medicine Cauldron, supervising the new disciples to continue refining elixirs.
Huang Yaoxian looked very excited and said: "Gu Chen, when I first met you, I thought you were different from ordinary people. I didn't expect you to have such a talent for alchemy?"
Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's all thanks to Senior Sister Ziyuan's advice."
Huang Yaoxian said: "Okay, Xiaoyuan really has a good eye, haha... Gu Chen, after the alchemy competition is over, don't leave in a hurry and come to Baicao Palace to find me."
"Yes, First Master." Gu Chen nodded.
"Haha..." Huang Yaoxian smiled happily, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, and walked aside.
Gu Chen turned around and walked towards No. 5 Medicine Cauldron.
Wen Shihao is in charge of No. 5 Medicine Cauldron.
At this moment, Wen Shihao was standing next to the No. 5 medicine cauldron. The two disciples in the fifth group were refining the alchemy faster and had finished. Wen Shihao had also been paying attention to Gu Chen. When he saw him walking over, his eyes showed.
Surprised, I wonder what Gu Chen is here for?
Gu Chen walked straight to Master Wen, cupped his fists and said, "Uncle Wen."
After Gu Chen's alchemy performance just now, Wen Shihao did not dare to look down upon him anymore and asked: "Senior nephew Gu Chen, what do you want from me?"
Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Disciple, please ask Uncle Wen for advice on alchemy."
Wen Shihao touched his beard and showed a look of pride. He was only at the ninth level of Xiantian Realm, but as an elder of Baicao Peak, he was obviously very proud of his alchemy skills.
However, he had no intention of teaching Gu Chen alchemy, and said: "My nephew Gu Chen is very talented in alchemy. How can my uncle give me advice on alchemy with my little skills? My nephew should find someone else!"
Gu Chen came to Wen Shihao's place. There were many monks in the square. They all looked over. Huang Yaoxian also stopped and looked at this place. He didn't know why Gu Chen asked Wen Shihao for advice on alchemy. Wen Shihao framed him.
After Gu Chen, the relationship between the two was not a good one.
Besides, Huang Yaoxian specifically told Gu Chen to go to the Baicao Hall to find him after the alchemy process was completed. The hint given to him was very obvious. If you want to ask for advice on alchemy, you should also ask him for advice.
The eyes of the disciples, following Gu Chen's figure, also gathered here. They were also confused about Gu Chen suddenly running to ask Wen Shihao for advice on alchemy.
But... they soon understood what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen chuckled softly and said: "Uncle Wen is too proud of himself. Hehe, the disciple's request for advice means a challenge. I want to compete with Uncle Wen in alchemy."
What……
All the disciples and elders were startled. They all looked at Gu Chen, deeply shocked once again.
Did you hear it wrong? A new disciple who has only been in the profession for a year actually challenged the famous elder of Baicao Peak?
The minimum requirement for becoming an elder is to become a seventh-grade alchemist. Gu Chen... actually challenged a seventh-grade alchemist. Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at each other for a while. They were all in disbelief.
Although Gu Chen just showed the strength of the sixth-grade alchemist, compared with the seventh-grade alchemist, the sixth-grade elixir is completely in the sky and the other is underground. The sixth-grade elixir is only an elixir for improving the cultivation level of the innate realm.
, and the seventh-grade elixir is the elixir that improves the cultivation level of the Shenhai Realm during the embryonic period.
One has a cultivation level that enhances the Xiantian realm, and the other cultivates a level that elevates the Divine Sea realm. The difference between the two is more than ten thousand miles?
After staying at Baicao Peak for thirty years, at least half of the disciples will be able to become a sixth-grade alchemist. However, among ten sixth-grade alchemists, it is difficult to have a seventh-grade alchemist. Sometimes, one
Among the entire class of disciples, there may not be a single seventh-grade alchemist.
It can be seen from the fact that there are only eight elders in Baicao Peak. The elder of these eight elders is about ninety years old, and the younger one is about forty years old. There is such a huge leap in years, but there are only eight elders.
, indicating that sometimes there is not even a seventh-grade alchemist among the disciples.
However, now Gu Chen actually challenges an elder to make alchemy?
Could it be that Gu Chen became a seventh-grade alchemist in just one year?
Impossible? Absolutely impossible... Neither any elder nor any disciple believes it.
For elixirs of level 6 and above, because the amount of spiritual energy in elixirs is increasing, the difficulty of refining elixirs has increased sharply. It is more difficult to upgrade from a level 6 elixir pharmacist to a level 7 elixir pharmacist than from a level 1 elixir pharmacist to a level 6 elixir pharmacist.
Much more difficult.
For example, Xu Ziyuan became a sixth-grade alchemist in three years, and then it took five years to become a seventh-grade alchemist. The time it took to go from sixth to seventh grade,
It is almost double that of the first to sixth grades.
This was still the time for an alchemy genius like Xu Ziyuan. Other monks were stuck at the sixth level throughout their lives, and would not be able to become a seventh-level alchemy master or refine seventh-level elixirs.
Shocking... even more shocking than the scene just now when Gu Chen refined the best Yuanling Pill.
Wen Shihao thought he heard wrongly. Gu Chen actually wanted to challenge his alchemy skills instead of asking for advice? A new disciple who had only started for a year actually came to challenge him, an elder who had been at Baicao Peak for forty years?
This was an insult. Gu Chen didn't take him as an elder seriously at all.
Wen Shihao was furious and said: "Gu Chen, are you kidding me? Or are you born with a stinky skin and want to seek abuse?"
Gu Chen laughed and said: "Uncle Wen, are you afraid of your disciples and don't dare to accept the challenge? The chief uncle, all the elders, and all the brothers are all looking at you..."
The literary master in the previous life was very bad to Gu Chen, and the literary master in this life helped Huangfu Ji. Deng Fei came to frame him and tricked him into going to Longya Valley. Although the frame-up was not successful in the end, Huang Yaoxian only punished him to live in Muyou Valley for half a year.
, it’s not a punishment at all…
As early as that day, Gu Chen had a plan in his mind to challenge Wen Shihao in the alchemy conference, and then let him, an elder, be defeated by a disciple who had just started for one year.
Gu Chen wanted to slap him hard in the face, wipe out his face, make him look shameless, and be ridiculed wherever he went: Look, that is the elder Wen Shihao from Baicao Peak, defeated by an entry-level talent.
In the hands of a one-year disciple.
Wen Shihao gasped and clenched his teeth. He was bullying others too much. He was simply bullying others too much. How dare a new disciple who had only started for a year dare to challenge him?
Moreover, everyone knew that so many elders did not challenge him but challenged him Wen Shihao. This was Gu Chen deliberately targeting him.
Is it tolerable... is it too mature?
Being underestimated by a new disciple who had just started for one year, Master Wenhao laughed angrily and said: "Okay... okay... okay, you are so arrogant. You have been silent this year. I thought you had forgotten what happened before."
Well, now it seems that I was wrong. It turns out that you have been holding back and want to take revenge on me? You..."
"Uncle Wen, do you dare to accept the challenge?" Gu Chen interrupted his rambling and asked loudly.
