Winning a lottery would naturally not happen to Zhang Xiaosheng, but An Qiuhe actually won a high-grade Qi Refining Pill, which made Zhang Xiaosheng laugh for a long time.
"Stop laughing, tell me how you refined that top-grade Yuan-Pui Dan? Do you know how to make elixirs?"
On the way back to the inn, An Qiuhe finally couldn't help but asked the doubts in his heart.
"You told me all the prescriptions, what do you think?"
"Yes! Could it be that you are entertaining me on purpose?"
Grab, grab, grab. An Qiuhe simply didn't believe that Zhang Xiaosheng could refine the top-quality Yuan-Pei Dan with only three doses of elixirs without any knowledge of alchemy. No matter how talented he was, it was impossible!
"How could it be possible? I really don't know." Zhang Xiaosheng spread his hands, and then lowered his voice and said:
"The elixir was hidden in advance. I was lucky enough to get a top-quality Yuan-Pui Dan before, but I no longer need it. However, top-quality elixirs can only be found but not sought, so I kept them. Unexpectedly, I just happened to use them this time."
"This..." An Qiuhe subconsciously didn't believe it, but he couldn't find a more reasonable reason to convince himself, so he continued to ask:
"Then how did you hide it from those two Nascent Soul cultivators?"
Zhang Xiaosheng did not explain. He took out a high-grade spiritual stone from the system space and put it in his hand. Then he handed the storage bag to An Qiuhe. Then he waved his right hand and the high-grade spiritual stone disappeared. Then he waved it again and reappeared in his hand.
An Qiuhe's eyes widened!
Xixi, dingding, Xixi. impossible!
The storage bag was in his hand, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation at all. How did Zhang Xiaosheng put the spiritual stone in it?
Zhang Xiaosheng's high-grade spiritual stones were all purified with reputation points and could be collected into the system space. The appearance and disappearance just now were all done with the help of the system, so how could An Qiuhe feel the fluctuation.
"Don't look at it. The storage bag couldn't be used at all at that time. It was just a cover-up, related to a skill I knew. It can temporarily block some things and prevent them from being detected with spiritual consciousness. But it's only for very small things. Things are effective, but they are of little use at ordinary times." Zhang Xiaosheng had already thought of a countermeasure.
An Qiuhe let out a long oh. Although it still seemed unbelievable, it was much better than Zhang Xiaosheng telling him that he really only used three ingredients to refine the best elixir, and the technique was so good. There are all kinds of strange things. It is not impossible to have such a technique that can shield small objects from being detected by spiritual consciousness in a short time.
When it came to the question of skills, An Qiuhe couldn't continue to ask more questions. He snorted twice and let Zhang Xiaosheng go.
It wasn't far from the inn, and the two of them didn't fly, so they decided to take a walk, so they just walked back.
"Are you still participating in the finals?"
"Well...I'm not sure at this point. Aren't there still ten days left? Anyway, the inn hasn't expired yet, so let's wait and see." Zhang Xiaosheng hesitated.
巘戅丁丁dingdiNG戅. "That's right, where can you find another top-quality elixir to help you get through? Not to mention that during the finals, everyone is watching, and there are even elders from the inner sect of Wandan Pavilion who come to sit down. Maybe they are the top bosses of Nascent Soul, yours The technique may not be able to deceive those people." An Qiuhe wanted to say that he definitely couldn't be deceived, but considering Zhang Xiaosheng's face, he was more tactful.
"That's right, let me think about it again."
Zhang Xiaosheng secretly thought that he was not worried about whether the system could hide the peak of Nascent Soul, but if he was still like the semi-finals, he was afraid that this unfounded technique would be too powerful, and An Qiuhe would be disappointed. Doubts?
Although he still doesn't know what Guan Fuzi and Guan Xingzi are planning, it seems to be related to their sect's Millennium Crisis. But what role he plays in it, Zhang Xiaosheng is not sure at this time, so he also secretly talks about An Qiuhe. A little wary, the two chatted carelessly, but the conversation never involved Tianji Pavilion, which seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two.
No more words were spoken, both of them seemed to be thinking about something, and soon they returned to the inn.
Zhang Xiaosheng looked around and didn't see Mo Ziyuan. He was slightly regretful, but he had no intention of looking for him. All the way to the door of the room, Zhang Xiaosheng separated from An Qiuhe and walked straight in, sitting cross-legged on the couch, still thinking about today's events.
After observing the rematch today and seeing such a powerful Wandan Pavilion, Zhang Xiaosheng knew that his plan was basically bankrupt and there was no need to participate in the finals.
He originally planned to buy a top-quality Condensing Pill in the finals to stand out. Although it was unrealistic to win the championship, he would definitely be ranked high. After all, the value of the Condensing Pill was there.
The most important thing is that Zhang Xiaosheng successfully refined the best elixir in the two competitions. The probability is high enough to shock anyone. Even if the level of the elixir is not high enough for him to win the championship, it will definitely attract the attention of the senior management of Wandan Pavilion. After meeting with the senior management of Wandan Pavilion, he can say that he has some skills and skills in refining top-quality elixirs. New ones, on average, one can be successfully refined for every two medicinal materials.
With this, a cooperation agreement was reached with Wandan Pavilion. Wandan Pavilion will provide medicinal materials and process them into top-quality elixirs. However, it is naturally unrealistic to exchange two medicinal materials for one elixir, so Wandan Pavilion also needs to provide some of the same Chinese medicine. High-grade elixirs or a large number of spiritual stones. In this case, I would rationally distribute these elixirs and spiritual stones to Five Elements Sect disciples through some incentives for them to practice and use, thereby gaining reputation points and achieving a virtuous cycle.
And if anyone doubts where so many elixirs come from, they can blame it all on Wandan Pavilion. After all, the details of the transaction with Wandan Pavilion will not be clear to outsiders.
But the biggest uncertainty here is whether Wandan Pavilion will take action against him, forcibly controlling him to make elixirs for them or asking him for his experience in making elixirs.
What Zhang Xiaosheng originally thought was that if Wandan Pavilion really aimed to earn spiritual stones, then the nature of businessmen would tell them that only willing cooperation between you and me would maximize their interests. If they control themselves, they will It is completely possible to work without exerting effort, and they will not let themselves consume unlimited medicinal materials. After all, it is not that no one in Wandan Pavilion can refine the best elixirs, but the success rate is not as high as they have shown.
And he can show the token of the elder of Tianji Pavilion to add a protective talisman.
But judging from the situation in the semi-finals, Wandan Pavilion attaches great importance to this competition. The various situations in the previous preliminary round are probably due to some small tricks of the sect below. Wandan Pavilion just turned a blind eye, otherwise They will not provide free spirit gathering arrays that increase efficiency by 50%, nor will they directly replenish spirit stones without even investigating after the spirit gathering arrays consume too much. You must know that the consumption of the spirit gathering arrays that support tens of thousands of people refining elixirs is not A small number like the Five Elements Sect, where a hundred or so people can practice.
However, none of Zhang Xiaosheng's previous guesses came to light. grab, grab, grab
Judging from the observance of the rules by the Yuanying monks and the strong self-confidence of the inner disciples, Wandan Pavilion must be very strict in its internal management, and their disciples also very much agree with this strictness. From this point of view, Wandan Pavilion every three The purpose of holding an alchemy competition every year is simply to gather experts in alchemy from all over the world. The ambition is really quite big.
If it is such a sect, the ability they have shown is a bit dangerous for them. If they can use it for them, they can use it for them. If they cannot use it for them, even if it is destroyed, they will not let others have the opportunity that may affect them. .
At this time, it is unclear whether the elder's token from Tianji Pavilion will still be effective if displayed again. They can control themselves, and even control everyone who comes into contact with them. Even if Tianji Pavilion comes to find them, there is no evidence. At worst, everyone is arguing. It is impossible for two top-notch sects to do it because of Zhang Xiaosheng, a small guest minister. And completely turned his back.
The matter will probably end with Tianji Pavilion's guest disappearing in the Wandan Pavilion area, and Wandan Pavilion assisting in the investigation.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng finally made up his mind that he could not participate in the finals. The risk was too great, and if he just burned three portions of the medicinal materials, there was no need for him. As for the previous plan of distributing elixirs and spiritual stones to Five Elements Sect disciples, I could only think of another way.
Now that he has made a decision, Zhang Xiaosheng no longer hesitates. There are still more than eight days left at the inn. It would be a waste to leave now. Anyway, there is no rush to return to the sect these days.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaosheng was still vaguely waiting for someone to come to him.
No longer thinking wildly, Zhang Xiaosheng sat cross-legged and began to practice. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and don’t slack off even a second.
Zhang Xiaosheng's realm was able to break through so quickly, and his spiritual root compatibility, including top-quality elixirs, all contributed, but an equally important factor was that he was diligent enough.
After two days of seclusion, Zhang Xiaosheng and others came to Mo Ziyuan. Mo Ziyuan did not say anything, but just knelt outside the door of Zhang Xiaosheng's room. Zhang Xiaosheng had already sensed it, but ignored it and continued to practice.
It wasn't until Mo Ziyuan knelt down for six days that Zhang Xiaosheng woke up and looked at the 19% development progress shown on the system interface. He was slightly satisfied. With a flick of his right hand, the door was gently opened.
"come in."
When Mo Ziyuan heard Zhang Xiaosheng speak, he stood up quickly, but because he had been kneeling for too long, a man stumbled in.
Before he could apologize, Zhang Xiaosheng asked:
"Why have you been kneeling outside for so long?"
Mo Ziyuan's eyes turned red and he was a little choked up. It seemed that he had a place to vent his anxious waiting for the past few days, and he said:
"I sincerely ask the seniors to take in the juniors."
"I don't know how to make elixirs."
Mo Ziyuan paused for a moment. He refined the top-quality Yuan-Pui Yuan Dan, but he still didn't know how to make an elixir? Is it because my qualifications are too poor that I don’t bother to teach myself?
"But senior is not..."
"The best Peiyuan Pill has another reason."
Mo Ziyuan gritted his teeth and said:
"The junior alchemy has been passed down and can be practiced by oneself."
"The sect doesn't have that many resources for you to practice."
"Junior... you can earn spiritual stones and buy medicinal materials by yourself."
"Earn spiritual stones and practice alchemy. Are you not ready to practice?"
"Juniors will try their best to arrange their own time."
Zhang Xiaosheng shook his head and said:
"You still haven't thought it through. Come to me when you think it through."
"Okay, stop teasing other people's children. They have been kneeling outside for six days. Don't tell me that you just found out. If you really don't have any ideas, why didn't you send them away earlier." An Qiuhe's voice came.
He couldn't help but go out several times in the past few days, only to see Mo Ziyuan kneeling at the door of Zhang Xiaosheng's room. He wanted to persuade him several times, but he held back, but he also kept paying attention to the situation here. He just sensed that Zhang Xiaosheng Finally, he let the young man in and hurried over, just in time to catch the conversation between the two.
Hearing An Qiuhe's words, a hint of surprise flashed across Mo Ziyuan's face.
Zhang Xiaosheng looked at An Qiuhe and said helplessly:
"It's not that I'm unreasonable. This boy has a wood spiritual root, and my sect is a Five Elements Sect. With different spiritual roots, how can we accept him?"
"Why not?" An Qiuhe was a little dissatisfied. This excuse was too lame.
Zhang Xiaosheng was surprised and said:
"Our sect is all disciples of the Five Elements and Five Spiritual Roots. How can we teach a Wood Spiritual Root?"
An Qiuhe saw that Zhang Xiaosheng was not pretending, and based on his understanding of Zhang Xiaosheng, he was not a mean person, so he said:
"You don't think that a sect can only recruit disciples with spiritual roots that match their martial arts, right?"
"Ah? Otherwise?"
"Oh my God." An Qiuhe held his forehead with one hand and said:
"Tianji Pavilion requires the cultivation of gold and wood spiritual roots, and the requirements for the matching ratio of spiritual roots are very strict, but you would not think that all the people in the Nine Halls, Thirteen Peaks, and Twenty-six Sects have gold and wood spiritual roots. Bar?"
"Then... the techniques are different, so you can't practice them, right?" Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly realized that he had made another ridiculous mistake. Although he asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart. Who said that disciples of the Five Elements Sect must do it? Practicing?
It's just that all the sects of the Bihai Chaosheng Sect only recruit disciples who are in line with their sect's martial arts. This has been the case for thousands of years, so this is also the concept of Liu Tianyu and others. A sect should maintain spiritual root compatibility. of unity and purity.
But... the world outside is obviously not like this!
Let’s not talk about Tianji Pavilion, let’s take Wandan Pavilion as an example. They can’t just recruit some people who can make alchemy. If they work in the camp for a day to make alchemy, they will definitely not have much energy to study combat, and a sect without strong combat power will How to gain a foothold in this world of immortality?
Sure enough, An Qiuhe looked at Zhang Xiaosheng like a monster and said:
"No one stipulates that a sect can only practice one kind of technique, right?"
Mo Ziyuan also became alert at this time and stepped forward and said:
"Senior, this junior has his or her own skills to learn from. I don't need senior to worry about it. I just want to be able to follow senior."
This... Zhang Xiaosheng was a little hesitant. It would be a lie to say that he didn't appreciate this tenacious young man. It was just that he had always thought that he could neither make alchemy nor have wood-attribute spiritual roots, so he could not teach others anything. It was okay to talk about the principles of cultivation, but if he was asked to teach Mo Ziyuan, he was afraid of disturbing others.
The reason he made him kneel outside for six days was because he wanted to see if Mo Ziyuan would come to him impulsively because he failed in the rematch. But now that An Qiuhe reminded him, he also understood how rare the Five Elements and Five Spiritual Roots were. If he still adhered to the backward habit of the Bihai Chaosheng Sect, then when would the Five Elements Sect become stronger.
Then he looked at An Qiuhe and saw that he was looking at him with a smile but not a smile, as if he had guessed what he was thinking. Zhang Xiaosheng's face straightened and he said to Mo Ziyuan: "Look at the book and read the book."
"If I accept you, I'm afraid I won't be able to make any progress, but don't blame me."
When Mo Ziyuan heard this, he immediately came forward and knelt down, crying:
"Thank you, senior, for taking me in!"
