"Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on each venue?"
Old man Sheng Ling rarely scolded the old man with white beard standing aside, and he became angrier as he thought about it.
I am one of the five major sects in the Northern Territory, and yet I am being run around by a happy-go-lucky person?
Even if we focus on alchemy and are not very strong in other aspects, we can't let the opponent kill all the participating alchemists in the field right under our noses, right?
Can Lotte Xing be so powerful?
impossible!
There is something fishy here!
"Sect Master, it seems that because Letian Xing knew that we were going to set up the finals in thousands of mountains, he planted a large number of Soul Crossing Nine Mysteries in advance to build a huge blissful illusion."
"This blissful illusion is so weird and secretive that people who get caught up in it at first can't tell any clues."
"But as time goes by, their inner negative emotions are gradually amplified and accumulated, and by the time they realize something is wrong and want to control it, it's too late."
The old man with the white beard looked troubled.
"It started out as just a few people fighting each other, but in the end it turned into a big brawl across the entire venue!"
"When we intervened to control the situation, they were already trapped in a blissful illusion and couldn't extricate themselves."
After hearing this introduction, old man Sheng Ling's expression turned cold instantly.
"check!"
"There is absolutely no way anyone from Lok Tianxing could know about our plan to temporarily change the venue for the finals. Either there is a traitor within our Vast Sea Dan Sect! Or there are others secretly helping!"
"yes!"
The old man with a white beard answered in a deep voice and hurriedly left the main hall, leaving only the old man Sheng Ling standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at the stars in the night sky outside in a daze.
"I hope the ancestor's prediction will not come true..."

"Sister Lin? You are well and well! I haven't seen you for a long time and you are still so beautiful! I have a request, little brother, can you disperse the dark clouds in the sky? It is a bit too disgraceful to have to hold an umbrella every time we meet. …”
"Xiang Yuzhi, it's not like you don't know that the dark cloud above Han Fenlin's head is related to her physique, and it can't be dissipated no matter what."
The torrential rain washed away the blood-stained soil in the quiet mountain forest.
At this time, three people holding oil-paper umbrellas were standing in a triangle shape on the top of the mountain, chatting with each other. Their laughter gradually spread into the distance, causing the monsters in the mountains to laugh as well.
Suddenly, the noisy laughter covered up the heavy rain, filling the entire mountain forest with a happy atmosphere.
"Sure enough, the tips given by Lord Xi are very useful. They actually figured out that the Hanhai Dan Sect would change the venue of the competition, giving us the opportunity to prepare in advance."
Xiang Yuzhi turned his gaze to Han Fenlin, stared at her face covered by a bamboo hat and chuckled.
"Sister Lin, didn't Master Xi give you three tips? Can you open the last one?"
After hearing this, Han Fenlin stretched out his pale right hand, which was as bloodless as a dead person, and slowly opened the red brocade bag with a large "囍" character embroidered with gold thread on the surface.
In an instant, a strange aura spread out, and a young child's voice, a charming female voice, and an old boy's voice sounded next to the ears of the three of them.
"Well done. The task that caused the conflict between the Hanhai Dan Sect and other sects has come to a perfect end. You can wait and see the excitement at the Northern Territory Conference in half a year."
"By the way, this is your reward."
Before he finished speaking, three groups of mysterious auras with light yellow tail flames suddenly floated out of the kit and rushed towards Lotte Xing and the others. After they disappeared between their eyebrows, they suddenly became smiling. Even Han, who had always been expressionless, Fenglin also showed a faint smile for the first time in a long time.
"Thank you Lord for the reward!"
The next second, the kit bag spontaneously ignited without fire in the heavy rain and slowly escaped. The figures of the three people also disappeared into the dense forest where the wind and rain gradually stopped, leaving only the sound of a soft conversation.
"Are you saying that the absence of the Golden Nomination is a loss of blood?"
"Him? He is commanding the war in Anguo. How can he have time to come here? I heard that he has even replaced the general's position. He is so cool."
"Tsk, tsk, is he happy reading every day? Now he is learning the art of war and fighting?"
"I don't know. I saw that he was quite enjoying it when we met by chance last time. Isn't it inappropriate for us to continue chatting here? What if someone from the Vast Sea Dan Sect backfires... Hey! Why are you running away so fast! "
"Of course you are not afraid after you have broken through and returned to the void! I just turned into a god some time ago! The clones are very precious, so I can't let them break them up for me."
——
——
The next day, the alchemist dojo in the center of Hanhai City.
The streets were empty and crowded. The finals of the alchemy competition, which should have been a lively event, turned out to be a bit dull at the moment.
At some point, a circle of terraced stands suddenly appeared on the periphery. The spectators above had gloomy faces, staring intently at the four Hanhai Dan Sect elders sitting on the central high platform, and many even showed hatred and anger on their faces.
During the long silence, someone finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and shouted loudly.
"The Hanhai Alchemy Sect, is this how you treat the alchemists who come to participate in the alchemy competition?"
"Why didn't you come out and explain why all the alchemists on Site 10 died in the finals yesterday?!"
These words were like a boulder causing ripples on a calm lake, causing the unsuspecting audience to look in shock and disbelief.
Are all the participating alchemists in venue 10 dead?
seriously!
Who did it? Why does this happen?
Those who knew about this followed the leader in condemning the Hanhai Dan Sect's inaction, shouting insults, and feeling extremely resentful in their hearts.
"The disciples that our sect cultivated with great difficulty died for no reason at the alchemy competition held by your Vast Sea Alchemy Sect, and you didn't even give a damn?"
For a time, the alchemist's dojo, which had been silent, became "lively" again.
Faced with so many people venting their emotions and swearing insults, the four Hanhai Dan Sect elders on the high platform turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window. They closed their eyes to rest and remained unmoved until one person in the stands could no longer bear their arrogance. With a calm look on his face, he directly pointed the finger at old man Sheng Ling.
"Where is that bitch leader of your sect? He dare not show up after such a big thing happened? Come out and kowtow to admit his mistake!"
"After so many alchemy masters died, Hanhai Alchemy Sect ended up with this attitude? I thought Hanhai City was the alchemy master's holy land, but I didn't expect it to be the alchemy master's tomb!"
"..."
Facing the increasingly vicious insults, even if the four elders of the Hanhai Dan Sect were highly cultivated, they were also people with children and ancestors, so it was naturally impossible for them to suffer such injustice.
"How can I spare you for speaking rudely?!"
At this time, the first elder of Hanhai Danzong came out from the high platform and suddenly rushed in front of the big man who insulted him the most. His old right hand stretched out from his sleeves and tried to pick up his collar with majestic power. .
When the people around him saw that the elder of the Hanhai Dan Sect not only refused to explain but took action first, they finally found an outlet for their long-standing grievances. They each took out their magic weapons and spiritual treasures, and started to use their skills. Countless magical powers mixed with anger were directed at him. It was very lively for a while.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that there would be extra programs to watch when participating in the alchemy competition. I'm sorry."
Looking at the commotion in the stands not far away, Chu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the Qiankun Dan Furnace, was enjoying the "performance" with great interest. After he got a little tired of watching it, he sat cross-legged to the side and Su Tong closed his eyes to rest. Yue chuckled.
"The commotion is so big, why don't you go up and stop it?"
"..."
Su Tongyue's delicate body trembled when she heard this, but she turned her head and responded with an awkward but polite smile. The next second she immediately picked up her alchemy furnace and ran away as if avoiding the plague, until she reached the edge of the alchemy master's dojo. sit down.
"Don't run away, let's chat! We don't know each other until we fight."
Seeing that Su Tongyue was so afraid of him, Chu Ming became lively in his heart. He directly put his warm face to his cold buttocks and came to her side again with his own Qiankun Dan Furnace and said with a smile.
"Tell me about the contestants participating in the finals this time."
"You wouldn't ask yourself! Don't you have legs and a mouth?"
After seeing that no one around her noticed her, Su Tongyue stopped pretending to be a gentle and jade-like Xiaojiabiyu. The smile on her face instantly dropped and turned into a vicious little kitten.
"If you hadn't carried out a sneak attack yesterday, I would have assigned you to tear your mouth open!"
"Sure enough, this fierce personality is your true face."
Chu Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Isn't it tiring to show off to others like a good baby?"
"It's none of your business? Can you get out of here..."
Su Tongyue's eyes flashed fiercely, and just when she was about to say something harsh, a figure suddenly floated up not far away. Upon seeing this, she immediately raised the corners of her mouth, slightly curved her eyebrows, and instantly changed her face and covered her mouth with a smile.
"Brother Dijiang, it's been a long time since I've seen you look so majestic."
"I didn't expect that Miss Su would still remember me."
The person who came was a middle-aged man who was more than ten feet tall, with blond hair. He was wearing a brown linen sweatshirt and trousers worn by martial arts practitioners, with a white ribbon tied around his waist. His bronze muscles were bulging, like a big mountain. The person was shrouded in his shadow, which made Chu Ming, who was looking up at him, extremely surprised. A strange figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
Super Saiyan?
This is so similar!
If you didn't have six huge wings on your back, I would really believe you were a human being.
This characteristic is clearly possessed by monsters that take on human form!
While Chu Ming was silently meditating, Di Jiang looked at Su Tongyue's beautiful and gentle smile, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red and hot. He scratched the back of his head honestly, and then turned his doubtful gaze to Chu beside her. Ming.
"Little sister Su, who is this?"
"Tianyan Sect, Chu Ming."
Chu Ming came back to his senses and chuckled. He immediately stood up and reached out his hand to shake hands with Di Jiang in a friendly manner.
"I've heard about Brother Di Jiang's reputation for a long time, and now it's really like the legend."
"Yeah?"
Di Jiang's cheeks turned slightly red after being praised by Chu Ming, and he said honestly with some embarrassment.
"But I haven't heard your name, so I'm ashamed."
Brother, won't you be polite like me?
Facing Di Jiang's "macho and shy" appearance, Chu Ming's cheeks twitched slightly, but Su Tongyue on the side raised the corners of his mouth without leaving any trace.
"Brother Dijiang has never heard of him, which is normal. After all, although Tianyan Sect is one of the five major sects, it is not very famous."
"It's very famous."
Di Jiang didn't seem to hear the cynicism in Su Tongyue's words, and immediately replied with a smile.
"The Tianyan Neijing of the Tianyan Sect is said to have evolved dozens of advanced techniques based on the spiritual roots of various attributes,"
"If I were not a monster, I would almost like to go to Tianyan Sect to practice."
"..."
Su Tongyue's smile was slightly stiff, which made Chu Ming beside him couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Sure enough, straight balls are the nemesis of some scheming women!
"If there is an opportunity, Brother Dijiang can come to our Tianyan Sect to exchange and study, and I will definitely do my best to be a landlord."
Chu Ming smiled slightly, exchanged greetings with Di Jiang again, and then said goodbye to each other.
"It turns out that there are races among monsters that are so kind to humans. I thought they were all as vicious as you."
She glanced at Su Tongyue who was standing aside. Chu Ming's taunting made the smile on her face disappear in an instant. She clenched her fists tightly, and the murderous intent in her eyes almost condensed into reality. She wished she could turn into thousands of sharp swords to kill Chu. Ming stabbed to the core!
"Chu Ming! One day I will kill you! I will sacrifice your flesh and blood to the sickle!"
"Anytime."
Chu Ming didn't seem to care, and the smile on his face even grew brighter.
"But before that, why don't you introduce me to the alchemist participating in the finals? I will leave immediately after the introduction and will never disturb you again."
"..."
Seeing Chu Ming's annoying behavior that clings to her like a cowhide plaster, Su Tongyue took several deep breaths to calm down the murderous intention in her heart. She patted her face with both hands, and her face returned to its former tranquil and elegant appearance. She covered her mouth with long sleeves and smiled.
"Mr. Chu, don't you know?"
"The person who came to me just now is Di Jiang, from the six-winged bird tribe, the only monster race in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect that can refine elixirs."
"You don't even know the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, one of the five major sects, right?"
"It is a sect jointly established by tens of thousands of monsters. All the monsters in it are factions that are friendly to humans, unlike those monster races that hate humans."
"And the girl holding the flute in the distance is from the Huaiyin Sect, one of the five major sects in the Northern Territory."
"Everyone in the Huaiyin Sect practices music and has unique skills in music theory. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their magical powers are all related to musical instruments."
Musical instrument?
Chu Ming stared at the emerald-green flute in the girl's hand not far away for a long time, marveling at it.
"People who major in Le Dao didn't expect to come to participate in the alchemy competition."
"Alchemy is the first of the six major branches of life. All sects attach great importance to it, except for some sects that have no foresight."
At this time, Su Tongyue suddenly seemed to have thought of something, covering her mouth and saying slightly in surprise.
"Hey! Mr. Chu seems to be from Tianyan Sect!"
"I almost forgot. After all, you are so talented in alchemy cultivation. How could you stay in such a short-sighted sect?"
"Um?"
Chu Ming's eyes gleamed slightly as he called out the dragon bone and slapped it on the ground. This sudden move made Su Tongyue's delicate body tremble slightly. She smiled coquettishly and said no more.
The commotion in the distance also came to an end due to the appearance of the shadow of old man Sheng Ling.
"For what happened to your sect disciples, on behalf of the Hanhai Dan Sect, I would like to express my deep apologies and condolences to you."
The shadow of old man Sheng Ling slowly floated in the air, and he immediately bowed and apologized to the other sect stewards who had angry faces in the stands, and then deftly transferred the conflict.
"After our investigation, we found that the death of the alchemist at No. 10 is inseparable from Lotte Xing!"
"We, the Hanhai Dan Sect, will never let them go, so we sincerely ask friends from all sects to give us some time. We, the Hanhai Dan Sect, will explain it clearly to you at the Northern Territory Conference in half a year."
"snort!"
After hearing the sincere words of the old man Sheng Ling, everyone was not stupid, so they just went down the stairs.
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Chu Ming couldn't help but lose interest, and the old voice of Old Sheng Ling echoed over the entire alchemy dojo again.
"In this case, there is no need to delay the finals of the alchemy competition."
"The time limit is one hour. Ten alchemy masters only need to refine one elixir that they are most satisfied with and hand it over to us."
After hearing these words, the ten alchemy masters in the dojo sat cross-legged in front of their alchemy furnaces, concentrating on igniting the fire of spiritual power to refine the elixir.
Chu Ming was the only one who closed his eyes and meditated. He didn't know what he was thinking, which attracted curious glances from the spectators in the surrounding stands.
"He seems to be a disciple of Tianyan Sect, and he can actually enter the finals?"
"Don't be embarrassed. After all, Tianyan Sect is one of the five major sects in the Northern Territory. Even if it doesn't pay attention to alchemy cultivation, it is not comparable to other ordinary sects."
"Among the ten alchemy masters in the finals, Hanhai Alchemy Sect and its affiliated sects occupy six seats. It seems that there is no suspense about the outcome of this alchemy competition."
…
Su Tongyue concentrated on controlling the spiritual fire in the alchemy furnace. Even though she repeatedly stressed in her heart not to be distracted, she still couldn't help but glance at Chu Ming beside her from time to time, and her whole body was full of vigilance.
"Don't be afraid, I won't steal it from you this time."
Chu Ming said with a smile, and immediately threw the elixir materials from the space bag into the elixir furnace and ignited the spiritual fire.
"After all, it might be more fun to beat you in alchemy, which you are most proud of."
"dream!"
Su Tongyue glared at Chu Ming fiercely, and immediately stopped paying attention to the surrounding environment and completely immersed her consciousness in the alchemy.
But maybe it was because the injury from last night had not fully recovered, or maybe because Chu Ming on the side was putting too much pressure on her, Su Tongyue's process of refining the elixir this time was extremely difficult, and after three or four failures, she finally failed. He refined the Wangchuan Pill that he was best at, and it only had two pill lines.
"call--!"
Two elixir lines are enough. After all, no one present can refine a sixth-grade elixir, so he is sure to win.
As the only two alchemists left on the field who had not yet refined the elixir, Su Tongyue breathed a sigh of relief, put away the elixir furnace under the gaze of many people in the stands, and slowly walked up to the high platform to the four sides. The elder of Hanhai Danzong, who had a smile on his face, bowed slightly and said softly.
"Tongyue would like to say hello to all the elders. This is the Forgotten Pill that I refined."
After saying that, Su Tongyue handed over the elixir in his hand. After the "fair judgment" of the four judges, they unanimously declared that the Wangchuan elixir was the highest quality elixir so far in this alchemy competition.
"good!"
"He is indeed a genius cultivated by the Hanhai Alchemy Sect. He has already reached the level of a sixth-grade alchemist at a young age."
"Junior sister Su xx!"
…
Facing the deafening cheers from the surrounding stands, Su Tongyue raised the corners of her mouth proudly without leaving any trace, and glanced at Chu Ming who was still refining alchemy in the alchemy dojo.
snort!
Want to beat me in alchemy?
What a foolish dream!
However, at this moment, Chu Ming accidentally opened his eyes and looked at her. Then a smile appeared on his lips. He put the alchemy furnace away and slowly walked up to the high platform and spread his right hand.
"This is the elixir I refined."
When the brilliant golden light shone on the high platform, the audience who had originally left the alchemy master's dojo in small groups froze on the spot, their faces full of disbelief.
Sixth grade elixir?
Besides Su Tongyue, there is actually a sixth-grade alchemist?
"This is the sixth-grade elixir I created myself, Core Pill. Please take a look at it."
After receiving the core pill handed over by Chu Ming, the expressions of the four elders of the Vast Sea Pill Sect instantly became solemn. However, after carefully examining it with their spiritual senses, their ugly expressions instantly turned gloomy.
Obviously, the spiritual power fluctuation contained in this core pill far exceeds the limit of fifth-grade pills, and is even in the middle and upper reaches of sixth-grade pills.
What's more, there are four pill lines outlined on its surface.
"..."
At this time, Su Tongyue stared at the core pill on the wooden table with a horrified face. She could not say anything. She opened and closed her red lips several times but finally stopped talking. The originally calm heart suddenly stirred up. A huge wave.
Sixth grade elixir?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
This elixir is only at the fifth level! If you say it's level 6, it's level 6?
Su Tongyue turned her gaze to the four Hanhai Dan Sect elders behind the wooden table, and watched eagerly as they had a heated discussion with solemn faces. Finally, one person came forward and spoke softly.
"Chu Ming, this elixir of yours was modified from the Explosive Pill, and it is only a fourth-grade elixir. Therefore, we unanimously determined that this nuclear elixir is a fifth-grade elixir."
"Fifth grade?"
Seeing Su Tongyue's relaxed expression with a long sigh of relief, Chu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly took back the core pill and threw it in his hand, pretending to ask casually.
"I wonder what level of cultivation you elders are at?"
"Nascent Soul Realm."
One of them stroked his white beard and chuckled.
"So don't worry, we will never..."
However, before he finished speaking, the smile on his face slowly stiffened.
I saw Chu Ming throwing the core pill in his hand into the air. As a dazzling light shone, a violent roar like the earth collapsed and the mountain collapsed resounded over the entire alchemy master's dojo, causing the defensive spirit shields of the surrounding Hanhai Dan Sect to rise. A layer of ripples.
This huge explosion made all the residents of Hanhai City raise their heads and stare at the huge black-gray mushroom cloud in the sky in trance.
what happened?
"Do you think you can withstand the power of this elixir without any damage?"
Chu Ming had a sarcastic look on his face, which made Su Tongyue and the four elders of Hanhai Danzong stunned, and they couldn't hold back a complete sentence for a long time.
"It's really extraordinary that your elixir can be so powerful."
At this time, the shadow of old man Sheng Ling slowly gathered in front of Chu Ming, with a smile on his lips, and his old voice resounded throughout the entire Hanhai City.
"I declare that the final champion of this alchemy competition is the genius alchemist who will join our Vast Sea Alchemy Sect in the future, Chu Ming!"
