Seeing the warrior skillfully making the movements of counting money, Long Yi laughed in silence, and then popped out a black pill, which was the auxiliary pill he had brought out from the Red Dragon Base before.

The auxiliary elixir was made by an alchemist invited by the Red Dragon Base according to the simplified elixir recipe provided by Long Yi.

Although its effect is not as good as the Soul Storage Pill, it has a very good body-tempering effect for external practitioners.

After the warrior took the flying pill, he put his nose close to the pill and sniffed it doubtfully, and his expression changed slightly:

"Fellow Daoist, what kind of elixir is this?"

Without waiting for Long Yi to answer, he said with a fiery look: "How many of these pills do you have left? If you sell them, I will buy them all!"

Long Yi remained unmoved and said calmly, "Of course I have the pills, but I don't want to sell them. However, if you can do something for me, I'd give you a few as a reward."

"It's a deal!" The warrior's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily in agreement, but Long Yi still caught the fleeting greed in the depths of his eyes.

Then the warrior let down his guard, walked in and chatted for a few words, and Long Yi finally understood the warrior's identity.

The warrior's name is Shen Bao. He is the third child in the family and a native of Yandu.

However, Long Yi would rather jokingly call this guy's name "Shenbao".

According to Shen Bao, the Shen family was an important martial arts family in the martial arts world half a hundred years ago, but in recent years the family has declined and its disciples have left one after another. Shen Bao is considered a master in the family, but his strength is only at the peak of the Earth Realm.

The purpose of his going to the Qiankun Martial Arts Competition this time was to hope to pick up some rare treasures to help his brother Shen Hu successfully break through to the heavenly realm.

Long Yi asked doubtfully, "Is the elixir I just gave you very precious?"

The Soul Storage Pill, which is rich in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is naturally difficult to refine, and the requirements for the alchemy environment are also extremely harsh. However, the auxiliary pill he just gave to Shen Bao can be refined by even the alchemist hired by the Red Dragon Base.

Logically speaking, in a cultivation city like Yandu, elixirs of this grade should be available everywhere.

"Mr. Long, the pill you just gave me is already a mid-to-high-grade pill, and one pill costs a minimum of ten thousand yuan." Shen Bao said seriously.

Now, all the elixirs in the entire Dragon Country are basically monopolized by the Alchemy Association, and the elixir recipes are all passed down from ancient times, and the medicinal materials needed for alchemy are not easy to find.

In this Dharma-Ending Age, the value of an alchemist to a force is comparable to that of a master in the Heavenly Realm.

"Okay, I have a general understanding." Long Yi nodded.

The recipe for the auxiliary elixir he provided to the Red Dragon Base was recorded in the Xuantian Atlas. Combined with his improved version, it only required common medicinal materials to be refined, and the requirements for the alchemist were not high.

"Mr. Long, you've made the right decision to come to the Qiankun Martial Arts Competition this time. I heard that the Alchemy Association and the Yandu Tang Family will also participate. These two forces rarely participated before." Shen Bao said softly.

Long Yi was slightly surprised: "I have heard a little about the Alchemy Association, but what kind of power is the Yandu Tang family?"

"During their time, the Tang family was renowned for their poison techniques, but in recent years, the head of the family has also made some changes, entering the medicinal materials and medical markets. Most of Yandu's high-end medicinal materials market is now controlled by the Tang family.

Not to mention the Alchemy Association. Since they broke away from official control a few years ago, they have relied on their monopoly on the entire pill industry, and prices have tripled."

Hearing this, Long Yi's eyes grew serious. The purpose of this trip was to find the best medicinal herbs and dragon pendant fragments needed for a breakthrough, so naturally he had to deal with these two major forces.

After Shen Bao finished speaking, his gaze fell fixed on the big ghost.

He had just observed the two of them. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on Long Yi's body. At most, he had some tracking methods, but the big ghost was different.

As long as this guy moves his feet, he can clearly feel the vibration from several meters away. He must be a top-notch external martial arts practitioner.

Afterwards, Shen Bao took Long Yi and the other two to the location of the Qiankun Martial Arts Conference.

At the door of a large manor by the quiet lake, there is a line of words written in a flowing calligraphy: Aim for the top of the Qiankun Martial Arts Competition.

At the vermilion gate, there stood a row of guards with sharp eyes, resolute faces and muscular build. They were all mid-level Earth Realm warriors.

Long Yi was surprised and said, "The force that held this martial arts competition is quite powerful. They are so arrogant that they use mid-level earth realm warriors as guards."

If it were in the four provinces of the Central Plains, a warrior at the middle level of the Earth Realm could already become the guardian of a family, which was enough to show the huge difference.

"That's for sure. The Yandu Lin family is one of the top ten cultivation families in the entire Long Kingdom. They are headed by an old monster at the peak of the heavenly realm!" Shen Bao said with envy.

"It was actually held by the Lin family?" Long Yi said in surprise, thinking back to Lin Yahan whom he met on the bus, and combined with what she said before leaving, he couldn't help but sigh that the world is really small.

"He even lied to me and said he was going to Yandu to participate in a school competition. Sure enough, my guess was almost right."

At this time, the three of them had already walked up to the guard at the door, and Shen Bao announced his name.

After the guard found the Yandu Shen family at the bottom of the roster, he said with a look of disdain, "Go in."

When Long Yi wanted to go in with Shen Bao, the guard stopped him and said coldly:

"Sir, the Shen family is at the bottom of the list. Only one person is allowed in, and no family members are allowed."

Seeing that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on Long Yi's body, they preconceived that he was a junior of the Shen family.

Long Yi frowned slightly, "I'm not his family member. I'm also here to participate in the Qiankun Martial Arts Competition."

"Are you a warrior? People below the Earth Realm are not allowed to enter here." The leading guard questioned loudly.

After all, he looked too young. If he was not a direct descendant of a large family and did not have a vast amount of cultivation resources as a foundation, it would be impossible for him to reach a realm above the Earth Realm in his early twenties.

An ambiguous smile appeared on Shen Bao's lips. He had no intention of helping. He also wanted to see how strong Long Yi was.

Long Yi frowned slightly, and just as he was about to show off his strength, a surprised female voice suddenly came from not far away:

"Xiao Yi? I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

He looked in the direction of the sound and his previous guess was confirmed. It was Wen Xiaolan and Lin Yahan. They were now wearing exquisite makeup and looked much better than before on the bus.

"Fate is truly amazing." Long Yi laughed in silence.

Wen Xiaolan skipped to Long Yi and asked with blinking eyes:

"Xiao Yi, but speaking of which, why are you here?"
