"This is the Taoist Master I invited, Taoist Fellow Gu Qingxi." Xiang Chaozong introduced briefly.
After seeing Gu Qingxi's weapon refining skills with his own eyes, he admired this young weapon wizard with admiration, and of course he would not be stingy with words of praise.
But this competition with the Lin family was too important, and he didn't want Gu Qingxi to attract Lin Haonan's attention too early.
What if the old man knew about Gu Qingxi's weapon strength and had to change the rules of the competition?
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Gu, disrespectful and disrespectful." Seeing that Gu Qingxi was young, the head of the Lin family was just curious and didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he introduced it to Chaozong so simply, he didn't take it seriously.
He cupped his hands perfunctorily and immediately looked away from her face.
"Master Xiang, what's the first match?" Master Lin asked.
"Let's compete in alchemy for the first time." Grandmaster Chen volunteered without waiting for Xiang Chaozong to answer.
He just wanted to end the competition as soon as possible and get away from Gu Qingxi immediately after getting the benefits promised to Chaozong. Of course, he didn't want to waste time.
"Let's compare formations in the second game." Lu Buyu had the same idea. As soon as Grandmaster Chen finished speaking, he immediately continued.
"Well, let's compete in Dan skills in the first game, formation techniques in the second game, then weapon skills, sword skills and spells, and finally spirit control skills. How about asking the head of the family and several masters for their opinions?" Shi Shengwen was about to follow up. , but the head of the Lin family has already rushed to say.
"That's fine." He decided on the first two games, and the other party decided on the next few. This was a fair thing, and Shi Shengwen certainly couldn't object.
"Master Chen, I'll help you with this one." Xiang Chaozong said to Grandmaster Chen after setting the order of the competition.
"I'm being polite to the head of the family. It's just a matter of loyalty to others." Grandmaster Chen waved his hand and jumped onto the competition platform with his neck raised.
The arrogance on his face really showed the freedom and aloofness of a great master.
Before leaving, he took a special look at Gu Qingxi.
He admitted that Gu Qingxi's weapon skills were indeed outstanding, but his reputation as master Chen's alchemy skills was not in vain.
This time, he wanted to let this little girl see his strength and let her know that he, Grandmaster Chen, could not be bullied casually.
"Old Sun Qiming, please give me some advice." Next to the Lin family leader, an old man floated onto the stage and said to Grandmaster Chen calmly.
"What are you talking about? Are you Sun Qiming, Master Sun Qiming of the Sun family in Jiangning City?" Although the old man looked modest, when he heard him introduce himself to his family, Grandmaster Chen's expression changed and his eyes widened.
"Yes, it's Lao Chen." The old man nodded.
"..." The arrogance on Grandmaster Chen's face was gone, as was the freedom and aloofness in his body. His mouth was open wide enough to fit two big duck eggs.
"Master Xiang, does this Master Sun have a great background?" Gu Qingxi asked curiously when he saw that he looked like he had seen a ghost.
“The Sun family in Jiangning City is an alchemy family that has been passed down from ancient times in the world of cultivation.
Sun Qiming is the current head of the Jiang family. He is unparalleled in the world for his innovative alchemy skills. It is said that even sects and aristocratic families in the Lingtian realm have extended invitations to him.
It's just that Sun Qiming is obsessed with alchemy and indifferent to fame and wealth, and he is unwilling to abandon his ancestral inheritance, so he has stayed in Jiangning City. "When Xiang Chaozong talked about Sun Qiming's origin, his expression became extremely solemn.
He never expected that for today's competition, the Lin family would invite such a famous alchemist.
In this competition, Grandmaster Chen is afraid that he will be on the ropes.
"Master Chen, in this competition, how about we have better magic elixirs than Dongxuan." At this time, Sun Qiming said again.
Grandmaster Chen finally came to his senses, but he stumbled and almost fell off the competition platform.
Dongxuan's Divine Return Pill is a tenth-grade elixir. He has struggled to refine even an eighth-grade elixir. What can he do to refine a tenth-grade elixir?
If he had known that the Lin family would ask Sun Qiming to help, he would come to Guyun Mountain to join in the fun. Isn't this asking for abuse?
Regretful, looking at Sun Qiming's confident and calm face, Grandmaster Chen was so regretful that his intestines were blue.
"Master Chen, why don't you do this for me?" Even a blind person could see his panic and regret. Gu Qingxi was not blind, so of course she could see clearly, so she said kindly.
If the comparison is with ninth-grade elixirs, even if the furnace fails and explodes, the danger is not great.
But the tenth-grade elixir is different. Once the furnace is exploded, its power will increase several times or even ten times.
They were all helpers invited from Chaozong. Even if they were not friends, they were allies for the time being. She didn't want to see Grandmaster Chen bombed to death or missing arms and legs.
What's more important is that today's competition is related to the ownership of the soul, and she doesn't want to be happy in vain.
Gu Qingxi's hard work was destined to be in vain.
After hearing her words, Master Chen was so angry that his nose almost twisted:
What should I say? I am also the number one alchemy expert in Xishui City. Do I need you to participate in the competition on my behalf?
Yes, I admit that Sun Qiming has a great reputation, and I also admit that I am a little afraid of him, but no matter how afraid I am, there is no way I will let you help participate in the competition.
Don’t forget, you are a weapon refiner, a weapon refiner!
As an alchemist, I asked you, a weapon refiner, to take part in the alchemy competition on my behalf. Why the hell do I want this face anymore? Do I want it anymore? Ang?
To be honest, if the person who said this was not Gu Qingxi but another alchemist, Grandmaster Chen might have climbed down the ladder immediately.
After all, he is not stupid. He knows how difficult it is to refine the tenth-grade elixir and how dangerous it is.
If he is alive and well, there is certainly no need for him to seek death.
But the problem is that Gu Qingxi is a weapon refiner.
At this moment, Grandmaster Chen felt that his dignity had been severely trampled under his feet by Gu Qingxi, and he was also crushing and rubbing hard with his heels!
"Gu Qingxi, don't bully others too much. Even if I die, I, Grandmaster Chen, will die in a dignified manner. How can I allow you to be so humiliated!" Grandmaster Chen's face was livid and he shouted at Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi was a little confused. Didn't I want to help you because you lacked confidence and didn't want to see you die miserably?
It’s okay if you don’t appreciate it, why are you so angry?
At this time, other people also looked at Gu Qingxi with strange eyes, including Xiang Chaozong:
As the saying goes, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold them, and don't hurt someone's face when you hit them. Gu Daoyou's face, the beating was a bit too harsh. How could an weapon refiner take the place of an alchemist in the alchemy competition?
If Grandmaster Chen really wants to step down like this, will he still need his face?
If it weren't for knowing that Gu Qingxi had been living in seclusion since childhood and had only been out for a few days, it would seem that she really knew nothing about the world of cultivation.
Xiang Chaozong was a little suspicious that Grandmaster Chen had offended her before, or had dug into her family's ancestral graves.
Among all the people, Su Lingshuang was the only one who looked calm and showed no signs of surprise - she had seen Gu Qingxi's alchemy skills with her own eyes, so of course there was nothing surprising.
However, Grandmaster Chen didn't have a good expression from the first moment she saw Gu Qingxi. She just wanted to see him learn a lesson, so of course she wouldn't remind him kindly.
Noticing the strange looks from Xiang Chaozong and others, Gu Qingxi suddenly realized: her current public identity was an weapon refiner, and no one, including Grandmaster Chen, knew anything about her alchemy skills.
She fully understood Grandmaster Chen's anger: no matter who it was, he would not feel any better if he was slapped in the face like this in front of so many people.
"Master Chen, I am actually more than just..." Gu Qingxi explained sheepishly.
"Gu Qingxi, if you still dare to humiliate me, I will fight you to the death today." But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Master Chen.
He looked at Gu Qingxi with grief and anger, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
Seeing that he was so angry, Gu Qingxi had no choice but to shut up.
Her life was her own, and there was nothing she could do if Master Chen insisted on seeking death.
