It took a while for Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian to wake up. They bowed deeply to Cheng Ling and said, "Thank you, Master Cheng, for your advice!"
Cheng Ling took a long breath, showed a smile, and said: "This is the Tribulation Pill that I refined. Unfortunately, I only made two pills. Take a look!"
After saying that, he handed over the jade bottle.
Everyone cheered and gathered around. When they opened the jade bottle and took a look, they saw two Tribulation-Transcending Pills lying there quietly, exuding wisps of medicinal fragrance. They were slightly better than the ones the two of them had refined.
"He has really refined the Tribulation Pill. There are still two pills, and one is medium! This...if this was in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, could three pills be refined? The quality of the pill would also be Greatly improved, this boy’s Alchemy talent is really enviable!”
Chen Danquan shook his head and smiled bitterly, muttering to himself.
Of the two pills Cheng Ling refined this time, one was low-grade and the other was medium-grade. If you use Meteor Fire in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, you are absolutely sure to get three pills, and the quality will be higher!
Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian took a deep breath, returned the elixir to Cheng Ling and said, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Cheng for becoming the master of the Eight Alchemy Ways. We lost this battle!"
Cheng Ling said hurriedly: "I don't dare. I am a junior disciple and I have to ask the two seniors for advice."
Based on his achievements in refining two tribulation pills, his pill level is completely comparable to theirs, directly reaching the late eighth level. But Cheng Ling himself knew that luck played a huge factor this time. If he hadn't carefully observed Chen Danquan's alchemy techniques before, he might not have succeeded.
At this point, the Alchemy Competition has officially ended. Cheng Ling, Zhao Shizhen, Lu Guangtian, and the other four Alchemy Grandmasters have all completed the refining of the eighth-grade elixir and received the Alchemy Master's Token issued by the Alchemy Alliance. Unfortunately, Xi Yan is still a little different. She has not completed the final refining of the emperor-level elixir and has stopped at the peak level of seventh grade.
As for the eighth-grade elixir and above, there is no ability to organize the competition. As we all know, the most high-end alchemy master on the Canglan Continent is Chen Danquan, who is at the peak of the eighth level. No one can compete with him, and it doesn't matter whether he can compete with him or not.
Chen Danquan smiled slightly, embedded three gold stars into Cheng Ling's chest with his own hands, and said: "Yes, Grandmaster Cheng was a late learner, and reaching such a state of alchemy is really a blessing for me in Canglan Continent!"
"Thank you so much, Lord Chen! What this junior has learned is far from enough. Please ask King Dan to teach you more in the future!"
"Oh, in that case, are you willing to join our Dan Alliance?"
"This is exactly what this junior is thinking. Thank you to King Chen Dan for your support. There is another person, my wife. She has also reached the peak of the seventh level. We and I are willing to join the Dan Alliance at the same time!"
Chen Danquan smiled and nodded, agreeing. But both of them were suppressing laughter in their stomachs. Chen Danquan thought to himself, this boy really knows how to kill snakes and follow the stick. He asked to join the Dan Alliance in public. He was acting openly, and some things were much more convenient. By the way, he even got his little wife in. He was really clever.
Cheng Ling looked at the serious look of the old man and cursed in his heart. The old man was pretending to be very similar. But don’t be too happy too early. This time I just accidentally refined the Tribulation Elixir Pill. In the future, the materials for your pill alliance will support me in laying a solid foundation for the eighth-grade pill path. Don’t feel bad!
The two people's eyes flickered, and they were making calculations in their minds.
Lu Guangtian's expression changed drastically. Cheng Ling joined the Alchemy Alliance, and the level of Alchemy was higher than his own. Chen Danquan’s control over Danmeng will be even stronger! It's just that it's hard for him to object in full public view.
Zhao Shizhen sighed in her heart and secretly cried out that it was a pity. She originally planned to meet again after the competition.
Cheng Ling had a good talk and persuaded him to join the Zhao family. It's a pity that Chen Danquan took the lead and missed the opportunity. Otherwise, with Cheng Ling and Xi Yan's alchemy realm, the number of people entering the Alchemy King Valley could have been increased by more than a hundred.
Xiyan's face was slightly red, but her heart was filled with sweetness. Although she failed to refine the eighth-grade elixir, Cheng Ling's words of "wife" almost melted her heart.
Everyone exchanged greetings one by one, and the remaining alchemists came forward to congratulate them. Some sects and families also extended olive branches, hoping to recruit Cheng Ling or Xi Yan. As soon as they heard that they had joined the Dan Alliance, they all reluctantly gave up the idea.
"Boy, today's game is over. I still have some trivial matters to do. I'll see you at Dan League tomorrow!"
Hearing Chen Danquan's voice, Cheng Ling nodded briefly and pulled Xi Yan away.
Back in the courtyard, everyone happened to be back. They were all overjoyed when they heard that the two men had reached the seventh-level peak and the eighth-level alchemy realm respectively. With the existence of these two alchemists, the sect will develop even more rapidly in the future.
Cheng Ling turned around and grabbed Zhang Hu and said: "Zhang Hu, it is a grand event in Yujing recently. Many competitions are starting one after another. There must also be a weapon competition. You can go and participate in it and learn more about other people's weapon refining techniques." Tao, strive to go further."
Zhang Hu nodded in agreement, and several people chatted in the hall for a while, then left one by one and went to practice separately.
The next day, Cheng Ling brought Xi Yan to Danmeng. Chen Danquan had already ordered a disciple to come to greet him, and soon the two of them were led by the disciple to the place where Chen Danquan was retreating.
Chen Danquan glanced at the two of them, smiled and said: "Boy, isn't it good? I thought you could reach the peak of the seventh level at most, but I didn't expect you to reach the eighth level. To be honest, you couldn't compare when I was young."
Cheng Ling smiled and said: "Old man, don't give me a high hat. To be honest, if I hadn't seen you refining the Tribulation Pill, I might not have succeeded. This time it was pure luck. Therefore, in the future, In the days to come, I still need to lay a solid foundation and improve my alchemy realm."
Chen Danquan nodded with satisfaction. Cheng Ling's attitude was excellent. He was not arrogant, but based on a solid foundation. But what the kid said next made him almost jump.
"Old man, since I have reached the eighth-level realm, and together with Xi Yan, the two of us have at least eighty places. Do you want to reward me with more eighth-level materials for me to practice!"
"What? You're thinking too well. You think the eighth-level materials are everywhere. Even my Dan Alliance doesn't have much in stock."
"That's what it looks like~! If we contribute enough, we two are die-hard loyalists of the Dan Alliance and will definitely be rewarded. What's more, if Xiyan can also reach the eighth level, who among the Dan Alliance would dare to say half Not a word?"
Chen Danquan pondered for a moment, and there was some truth in what he said. Letting the disciples of the Dan Alliance enter the Alchemy King Valley, isn't it just to get the inheritance of the Alchemy Kings of all generations and to strengthen the Dan Alliance. Now with Cheng Ling, Xi Yan, and myself, the height of the Dan Dao realm is unmatched by any other force, and the Dan Alliance is still number one in the Canglan Continent.
If Xi Yan can go one step further and reach the eighth level, he can completely kick out Lu Guangtian and the other deputy leader, and the Dan Alliance will not be affected much. It's just that this kid Cheng Ling is so treacherous that he can't be easily dismissed.
I was wary, but didn't want to give up my plan to reorganize the Dan Alliance. After thinking for a long time, I said, "You can ask for materials, but I have conditions."
Cheng Ling secretly thought that it was indeed the case. Why was the old man so easy to get rid of? He must have made some conditions. He then said: "Old man, please tell me first, what are the conditions?"
"First, you two are the elders of our Dan Alliance from today on, and you need to bear the responsibility of prospering the Dan Alliance."
"Second, the number of people who can enter the Alchemy King Valley will be increased to eighty!"
Today, a lion really opens his mouth. Eighty people have been given to Dan Alliance, what will Jian Yinghao and others do? He said flatly: "I have no objection to becoming an elder of the Dan Alliance, but I can't ignore my original sect. Also, the eighty quota is too big for the old man's appetite. Does the Dan Alliance need so many monks to join it?" "
"You don't need to worry about this. I have my own plan."
"No, it was already agreed before, thirty-five is thirty-five, no more can be added."
"You brat, why do you need so many places? How many combined monks do you have in your small sect?"
"You don't need to worry about this, old man, I have my own plan!"
Cheng Ling refused to give in, and the old man gasped angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Then don't expect me to provide you with the materials. You might as well keep those materials to train your own alchemist."
Cheng Ling's destiny was now blocked. The Famous Sword Academy refused to provide the materials, and the materials from Canglanghai were not available in a short period of time. It was completely impossible to refine the eighth-grade elixir. In desperation, he could only compromise and said: "Old man, are you so absolute? At worst, I will give you five more places."
"Five places are too few, at least seventy are needed!"
"Forty-five, this is the limit!"
Chen Danquan laughed angrily and said, "You brat, maybe you don't know how many monks an eighth-grade alchemist can bring into the Alchemy King Valley, right?"
"I really don't know this, and you didn't explain it in advance."
"I tell you, the eighth-grade alchemist's status is so esteemed that no force is willing to offend him. He can bring at most one hundred monks in. Including this girl, you will have a hundred and forty monks entering the Alchemy King Valley. People, do we need so many places?”
Cheng Ling was startled. He didn't expect that the conditions for the eighth-grade alchemist were so favorable. From this point of view, it didn't seem to be a big problem to give the old man 70 places. But no matter what, you have to make the other party spit out more blood. How can you get it so easily?
After pondering for a while, he said: "Okay then, I agree to the seventy places, but...!"
The old man hated this very much and said angrily: "If you fart, hurry up and don't show off!"
"I need a lot of seventh-level and eighth-level alchemy materials, and you have to be satisfied with this."
"How much do you want? You have to give me a number!"
"I don't know yet. Anyway, I'll wait until my alchemy realm is solidified."
Chen Danquan sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's not just that. You must have some tricks up your sleeve, and maybe you want to promote that girl to the eighth level."
"Hey, since the old man knows, I won't say more. Could it be that if two eighth-level alchemists join the sect, would you still be unwilling?"
Chen Danquan's eyes rolled, and after a long while he said: "That's fine, but I want 30% of the harvest from Danwang Valley!"
"My day, old man, you should just go grab it. When I enter the Alchemy King Valley and beat people alive and dead, you will get 30% as soon as you ask. The two of us combined are not 60%, but at most 10%!"
Chen Danquan was very happy. He originally only thought of a total of 30%, but Cheng Ling misunderstood and said 60%. He quickly said: "20%, this is my limit!"
"The two of us add up to a total of 30%, no more arguing, it's settled!"
"Okay, deal!"
