Chapter 55: Wu Che and Luo Qingyao were both chosen to defend the Great Elder...
Many people were just chatting about gossip with the people around them, but were caught off guard by the Great Elder's sword move that came right at them. If the Great Elder had not used his killing move, many people would have probably seen blood.
Although it was not a killing move, the Great Elder was full of anger, so this move was quite powerful. Many Qi Refining disciples were directly chopped to the ground, and some of them were still in shock.
The Great Elder looked at those unmotivated disciples with great disgust, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen were already stunned. Xiao Jingwen had already taken the antidote and was finally able to speak: "What is his trick? It's amazing!"
After carefully observing it, Qin Xueyang said, "It must be a unique move from the sword technique practiced by the Great Elder."
This kind of group attack skill can be found in most sword techniques, but it is rare to see fifty swords being sent out at the same time, each of which can exert considerable strength and defeat many Qi Refining Stage warriors.
The power of sword cultivators is so terrifying.
Medicine King stroked his long beard and nodded slightly, saying, "It seems that for sword cultivators, the state of their body also determines the extent of their abilities! This old fellow hasn't used this powerful move in years, but I never expected him to use it today."
Qin Xueyang was even more shocked. "Senior, you only took the Longevity Pill twice, right? How could this Longevity Pill be so powerful?"
Yaowang City has sold many longevity pills, but no longevity pill has ever shown such a powerful effect.
The Medicine King nodded and said, "The longevity pill refined by Junior Brother Nan is three times more powerful than ordinary longevity pills."
Not to mention that Xiao Jingwen was speechless, even Qin Xueyang felt too shocked. These words came from the mouth of her master, who was the world's number one alchemist, the Medicine King!
After a while, Xiao Jingwen finally regained his composure and asked in a voice transmission, "Should we raise the price of the longevity pill that Junior Sister Nan is selling on consignment?"
When Nan Sining entrusted the Longevity Pill to them for consignment, they directly sent the Longevity Pill to the auction house under the name of Yaowang City. The news had already been spread, and the auction would start when the time came.
This time, Qin Xueyang rarely gave this junior fellow a few slaps. Instead, he agreed, "That's right, this longevity pill is so effective. If it were auctioned at the normal market price, Junior Sister Nan would be at a huge loss."
Medicine King said: "Xueyang, let Tang Yuan handle this matter."
"Yes, Master!"
The Beast Taming Sect not far away also exclaimed in admiration, "This great elder is indeed worthy of his reputation, and his strength is extraordinary!"
"Didn't they say before that his lifespan was nearing its end? Now it seems like his lifespan has been extended after his realm breakthrough?"
"He used the longevity elixir, not a breakthrough. But judging by his current condition, there should be enough time for him to break through to the next realm." This was said by an elder of the Beast Taming Sect, his tone filled with envy.
"How can a longevity pill be so powerful? Could it be that he took a top-grade longevity pill?"
The higher the person's cultivation level, the less effective low-level longevity pills are and the less useful they are.
"You're wrong," said another member of the Beastmaster Sect. "I heard that he increased his lifespan by taking a longevity pill made by a disciple of the Canglan Sect. This story has spread so far, how come you haven't heard about it?"
"I've also heard that the Canglan Sect is about to rise. On one hand, there's the friend Nan we're looking for, a genius at refining animal elixirs. On the other hand, there's an alchemy disciple who can refine such high-quality longevity pills. If they're trained well, the Canglan Sect might be able to compete with Yaowang City in the field of alchemy."
As he spoke, he glanced towards Yaowang City.
Xiao Jingwen accidentally heard their discussion and almost laughed out loud. How could these people start making random guesses before they even figured out the truth?
How surprised would they be if they knew that the animal elixir and the longevity elixir were both made by Junior Sister Nan? Xiao Jingwen suddenly couldn't wait to see their expressions at that time.
The people on the main stage were still very calm, as if they were watching the show from a distance, but most of the disciples on the stage were already busy.
Fifty sword techniques accurately found fifty Qi Refining disciples and attacked them without saying a word, causing chaos in the stands.
Wu Che was rushing in the front, marveling at the fifty sword clones created by the Great Elder. Before he could get too excited, he saw a sword light rushing directly towards his face.
Wu Che was startled and almost screamed, but the special training Hua Shengqing had given him these days was not in vain. After a moment of panic, when the sword shadow came down, he had already taken out his sword to block it back.
Just as the people at Cijian Peak were about to take out their defensive magic weapons, they discovered that Wu Che had already blocked it. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Yuan Qing'an even leisurely took a sip of tea.
After exchanging a few moves with the sword shadow, Wu Che quickly knocked it away, thus winning the duel.
Wu Che finally struck a pose with a sword on his shoulder: "How's it going? Did I perform pretty well this time?"
Zhou Lixing nodded: "Sixth Junior Brother has made great progress."
Liang Xiao also praised him, "Sixth Junior Brother, you have made such significant progress in such a short period of time. This shows that you have great talent. If you practice diligently in the future, you will definitely achieve good cultivation."
Wu Che nodded reluctantly, not liking to hear such words asking him to practice honestly.
So he turned his gaze to Yuan Qingan, who had been silent the whole time: "Second Brother, what do you think?"
Yuan Qingan put down his teacup and laughed, "Sixth Junior Brother has indeed made great progress. Second Senior Brother is relieved now. When we get on the stage later, we will fight like we did just now."
Wu Che was stunned for a moment. How could he forget that the Great Elder created so many sword shadows just to attack the disciples defending the ring!
His expression immediately changed from smugness to sadness.
Yuan Qing'an added, "I don't know who that sword shadow was aimed at just now, but because you took the initiative to attack, you were the one chosen."
"Ah?!" Wu Che almost cried out.
He had just prayed for a long time and even secretly used a lucky charm, hoping that he would not be picked to defend the match, but he ended up having to go anyway?
Hua Shengqing laughed out loud: "Sixth Brother, you work so hard, I am really touched. I guess it's the training these days that has taught you to work hard and make progress, right?"
This misunderstanding made everyone in Cijian Peak burst into laughter, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud for fear that Wu Che would cry.
Even Cong Chen had a smile on his face.
Wu Che was depressed for a while before his fellow disciples comforted him, "Just now, three people from Cijian Peak were chosen. If none of them are chosen this time, people will suspect that the Great Elder is biased towards us. So, Sixth Brother, if you go up to fight this time, it can be regarded as proving our innocence."
"Don't be afraid, Sixth Junior Brother. Don't be stingy with the magic weapons you have. If you can't hold on any longer, come down. The most important thing is that you don't get hurt."
"Yes, just hold on for a few games and don't fall too far behind."
Wu Che: ...
You are truly close teachers, brothers and sisters!
Things have come to this point and there is no way to change it. Wu Che had no choice but to cheer himself up and prepare to go to the ring to defend his position.
Just as he turned to leave, he heard his second senior brother whisper to him, "Sixth Junior Brother, as the first one from Cijian Peak to go on the field, you will definitely be targeted by many people. Remember to focus on defense. If you can attack, then attack. If you can't attack, then defend yourself."
Wu Che looked back at his sixth senior brother, nodded, finally made up his mind, and walked towards the arena in the middle.
The people from Cijian Peak were watching from behind, all of them unable to conceal their worries.
Zhou Lixing clenched his fist and said, "Second Brother, is Sixth Brother really okay?"
Yuan Qing'an remained calm on the surface: "This is something Sixth Junior Brother must go through, otherwise he won't be able to improve himself."
Zhou Lixing was speechless. A cultivator, especially a sword cultivator, really needs to be enterprising and determined. If someone like Wu Che is so Buddhist, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything.
When Wu Che received the sword shadow from the Great Elder, another sword shadow flew towards the Yunxiao Peak disciples' seats not far away without hesitation.
As soon as it arrived in front of Luo Qingyao and her group, a barrier blocked it.
But the sword shadow was very persistent and began to spin rapidly like a top, as if determined to drill a hole in this layer of defense.
Luo Qingyao looked at the sword tip that was getting closer to her, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
She felt that the sword shadow was coming towards her.
Did the Great Elder find out that he was the one who did it?
That shouldn't be the case, right? I didn't leave any evidence behind. Even those four silkworms were placed there by Han Qingyu and the others. I had no hands on them.
From a distance, the Great Elder saw Luo Qingyao's nervous look and the way her eyes were rolling around, and he snorted in his heart.
Although I said that I would investigate the matter in detail later, it does not mean that there are no people who have doubts in their hearts.
Even if that person did not leave any trace, we can still guess something from who Ci Jianfeng has grudges against.
Because of the Shouyuan Pill incident, his opinion of the little girl from Ci Jianfeng had changed somewhat, but he wasn't one to meddle in other people's affairs. But since that person was so bold as to use him as a knife, he couldn't blame his men for showing no mercy.
Thinking of this, the Great Elder narrowed his eyes. The sword shadow seemed to have gained some spiritual power, and soon it broke through the defensive magic weapon with a "bang" and stabbed directly towards Luo Qingyao.
Luo Qicheng immediately drew his sword to deal with the sword shadow, but was hit hard in the face by the sword shadow, causing his right cheek to swell up and turn red quickly, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Their eldest brother hurriedly grabbed his fourth junior brother and said, "Junior brother, the Great Elder's sword shadow becomes stronger when it encounters a stronger opponent. You are not in the Qi Refining Stage, so you cannot take it!"
Luo Qicheng glared and roared with red eyes: "Are we just going to watch our junior sister being attacked by the sword shadow?"
Their second senior brother, Zhao Guang, also came up to comfort him, "Fourth Junior Brother, don't be impulsive. If you slap the Great Elder in the face, it won't just be Junior Sister facing this sword shadow. If the elders question how Master disciplines his disciples and why he allows us to dote on Junior Sister so much, Junior Sister will also become a target of public criticism."
After hearing what Zhao Guang said, Luo Qingyao was startled and quickly responded: "Fourth Senior Brother, I can do it!"
As she spoke, she drew her sword and faced the sword shadow.
Luo Qicheng said worriedly, "But...but Junior Sister has only just recovered..."
