Everyone dispersed unhappy, and Sun Yuanliang was the first to leave the meeting hall.
Liu Qingyan's face was covered with frost, and she said coldly: "You must repay every penny, and you are narrow-minded. You have not made any progress in so many years."
Jian Yinghao smiled bitterly and said: "That's all, after all, he is the master of the Law Academy, so we just ignore him."
Cheng Ling said calmly: "It doesn't matter, they will go their own way, and our plan will continue as usual. Brother Jian, there is still more than a year before the Alchemy King Valley opens. During this period, we must improve our strength as soon as possible. By then, the monks of the nine major forces will Everyone will go there.”
"By the way, what is the method you mentioned to bring us in?"
"It's very simple. I have discussed with King Chen Dan before that I will serve as a monk of the Dan Alliance for the time being, and then I will take you in."
"So we are also going to join the Dan Alliance?"
Cheng Ling shook his head and said: "It doesn't need to be like this. The Alchemy King Valley is its own space. In order to avoid damaging the foundation of the Alchemy King Valley again, the nine major forces and the Alchemy Alliance have set rules. Each force does not allow monks who have transcended the calamity or above to enter, and You must have a force above the sixth-grade alchemy master to enter it."
"A sixth-grade early stage master can lead five monks; a sixth-grade mid-stage grandmaster can lead ten; a late sixth-grade grandmaster can lead fifteen; a sixth-grade peak master can lead twenty monks, and so on. Therefore, the number of people entering the Danwang Valley The number depends entirely on the number of alchemy masters, which is also a form of support for alchemy monks from the nine major forces."
"With the alchemy levels of Xiyan and I, we can bring in eighty monks, but at that time I promised King Chen Dan to leave thirty-five places for the alchemy alliance. We also need the qualifications of alchemists. It’s just certified by Danmeng.”
"Alchemist certification?"
"Yes, it is the assessment of alchemy. It will be the assessment time in a few months. Therefore, Xiyan and I cannot leave Yujing City during this period, and we have to find ways to consolidate the realm of alchemy. As for you, I hope you can improve your strength as soon as possible. .”
"The characteristic of the Alchemy King Valley is that after entering, it is teleported randomly and there is no fixed direction. Therefore, we will spread out and we are likely to encounter some unfavorable situations, so we must always be vigilant."
Everyone was shocked. As a result, everyone could not form a joint force and could only fight alone.
Jian Yinghao asked: "How long will it take for the Alchemy King Valley to open?"
"One year. After the expiration of one year, it will be randomly transmitted, and the location is not fixed."
Jian Yinghao nodded and said: "Well, according to the original plan, we will maximize our improvement within one year. Alchemy King Valley is an adventure, but also an opportunity!"
Cheng Ling nodded in agreement, and everyone dispersed and went to practice.
Liu Qingyan gently pushed Cheng Ling with her elbow and glanced at Bai Yiyi.
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, could only nod, and chased Bai Yiyi.
Within a moment, he was chasing after her. The girl was very happy to see him coming and said happily: "Brother Ling, what do you want to tell me? Do you have any special mission?"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly in her heart. The little girl was ignorant and had no choice but to take the initiative. He took a step forward, hugged her with his arms, and said: "Yiyi, I was busy with everything before and I haven't been able to spend time with you properly. Don't blame me!"
Bai Yiyi's pretty face turned red, and she said, "Huh, just keep an eye on Sister Youlan. Anyway, I'm so careless that I'm not lovable."
"No way! I just want to take you back to the Wuxiang Sword Sect and hold a grand wedding after the things in Yujing City are over."
"Wedding? Then I also want a feather coat like Sister Liu's."
She was originally called Senior Liu Qingyan, but after everyone got acquainted with her and her relationship with Cheng Ling was made clear, she could no longer call her Senior, so she could only call her Sister Liu. Cheng Ling had snatched the Phantom Feather Clothes from Liu Qingyan before, and all the girls seemed to be envious.
For them, such a wedding dress is so beautiful that no female nun can control it after seeing it. It's just that the Phantom Feather Clothes are so rare that it's hard to openly ask for them.
Cheng Ling felt a headache. Phantom Yuyi was not a popular product, so he could get as much as he wanted. But since Bai Yiyi said it, she must have wanted it very much, so she could only say: "Okay, I will try to find a few pieces. Each of you has them, but they may not have as powerful functions as the Phantom Feather Clothes."
Bai Yiyi didn't care and said happily: "Great, I'll tell Youlan right now."
After saying that, he walked away without waiting for Cheng Ling to say anything.
Cheng Ling held her forehead and sighed, girl, you should be more attentive, why don't you know what I'm thinking. But Bai Yiyi's figure was nowhere to be seen in front of him. In desperation, he could only shake his head and go back to the guest room to rest.
In the days to come, everyone was busy working on their own, practicing and comprehending the artistic conception. There was basically no one in the entire Fan Mansion. In fact, Cheng Ling and others didn't want to stay in Fan's house. They always felt like they were depending on someone else.
Fortunately, he won a hundred consecutive victories and had a courtyard to live in the south of the city. The courtyard was very large, not much different from Fan Mansion, but the courtyard was slightly deserted, and it was obviously uninhabited for a long time. Cheng Ling let Xiao Linger live in and help clean up.
Speaking of which, during this period of time, Xiao Ling'er's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and she finally met Cheng Ling's requirements and entered Nascent Soul Consummation. Cheng Ling also fulfilled his promise and officially accepted him as his disciple. When Xiao Ling'er got the opportunity to repay her teacher's kindness, she would not be reluctant and happily put it away.
The matter of residence has been resolved, and all that remains is to improve the alchemy path. Both he and Xiyan are already seventh-level alchemy masters, but the latter is slightly inferior in quantity and quality of alchemy, and the basics still need to be strengthened.
Therefore, Cheng Ling spent all the tens of billions of spiritual stones he had left on her to buy sixth- and seventh-level herbs, regardless of cost, to help Xiyan lay a solid foundation. As for himself, it was difficult. There were not many seventh-grade herbal medicines in Yujing City, and the only ones he had had been plundered by him.
In desperation, I could only send a message to Mingjian Academy, hoping that they would support some high-quality herbal medicine. But when the message was sent back, it was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, without any sound.
After waiting for more than a month, Cheng Ling finally understood that with Zhao Zhongyuan and Sun Yuanliang in the academy, he could not gain much benefit from his plan. For a moment, she was also disappointed with the academy and told Xiao Ling'er to pay attention to the herbs in the market and buy them all once she found them.
It was still not safe to walk on this leg, so he sent a message to Wuxiang Sword Sect and asked them to try their best to dispatch high-quality alchemy materials from Canglang Sea. It's a pity that the journey is too far and the urgent need cannot be solved in a short time.
Feeling helpless, I could only give up the idea of trying to become an eighth-level alchemy master. Anyway, the quotas that I and Xiyan had were enough. Simply use your time to practice body training techniques and increase the power of the Nine Ultimate Sword.
time slows down
Slowly passed, and soon, another half year passed, and it was already the time for the alchemist assessment. In the past six months, Xi Yan's alchemy foundation has been greatly strengthened. In addition, the Lotus Core Fire has been upgraded to blue, and it is now on par with Cheng Ling.
The two of them tidied up and walked towards the central square.
Grand gatherings in Yujing have been held in the city one after another. Monks from all over the city have appeared in the city one after another. Monks of all kinds are walking in a hurry along the way. People are coming and going in the shops on the street, which is a prosperous scene.
Today is the day when the Alchemy Competition is held. The two of them walked slowly and slowly to the square for an hour. During this period, although everyone lived in Cheng Ling's courtyard, they had very little contact with each other, and they were all busy with their own affairs.
Now that she has such an opportunity, walking side by side with Cheng Ling on the spacious avenue of Yujing City, Xi Yan is like a happy bird, laughing endlessly along the way. After arriving at the square, register at the registration office and enter the Central District Dando Competition.
There are many contestants in the Alchemy Competition, tens of thousands of them. It coincides with the Yujing event that takes place once in a century, and all the major sects and families will send their disciples to see the world.
The layout of the competition venue is very simple. There are tens of thousands of long tables placed in the square. Each participating alchemist has a fixed position. On the long table are the alchemy furnace and talisman fire used for the exam, as well as a few pieces of white paper. . Of course, the competition does not limit you to using the alchemy furnace and talisman fire provided by the competition party. You are free to have better ones.
Cheng Ling and Xi Yan found their positions and stood there waiting. The distance between them was not very far. Looking up, I saw that there were still many long tables vacant. There must be some alchemists who had not arrived yet and could only wait boredly at the scene.
After waiting for an hour, all the alchemists rushed over in twos and threes. At this time, I saw several monks walking in front of me and sitting on the judging table. There were a few people I knew among them. Chen Danquan, Zhao Shizhen, Master Mingtai, etc. were among them.
It's just that Chen Danquan feels a little different now. The Taoist charm is flowing around his body and his aura is calmer. He has obviously entered the Mahayana realm.
After everyone sat down one by one, Zhao Shizhen stood up again and said: "Thank you all for coming to participate in the Alchemy Competition. It coincides with the grand event in Yujing, so we discussed with the Alchemy Alliance to simply hold the Alchemy Assessment and the competition together. "
"In this alchemy competition, King Chen Dan, deputy leader of the Dan Alliance Lu Guangtian, Nangong Ling, the head of the Nangong family, master Mingtai and someone Zhao were specially invited to serve as judges. As long as the competition is passed, the Dan Alliance will award the alchemist uniformly. Medal, I hope everyone can get a good result."
After the words fell, the monks and the audience on the field were all talking about it. This judging lineup was very powerful. It was indeed a grand event in Yujing. Several experts who were rarely seen on weekdays came to the scene.
Zhao Shizhen paused for a moment, and after the noise subsided, he announced: "Okay, the Alchemy Competition has officially begun. In the first round, one furnace of third-grade Hunyuan Dan will be refined, and the time limit is half an hour!"
Many participating disciples were shocked. Hunyuan Dan is extremely difficult to refine among the third-grade elixirs. It requires very skilled alchemy techniques and is a great test for ordinary alchemists.
Of course, this is also a method of the alchemy competition. First, use difficult elixirs to eliminate most of the contestants, and the remaining alchemy competition will be more exciting. Otherwise, with so many alchemists taking the exam together, the materials consumed would be an astronomical figure. Even if the alchemy alliance is wealthy, it would not be able to afford to continue playing like this.
