Chapter 532
Knowing that Yuan Jing was leaving, the people in the painting felt regretful, but they also knew that for those who practice cultivation, separation and reunion were the norm.
"You can take this cave with you." Although Yuan Jing was not the successor of alchemy that the original body hoped to see, Yuan Jing's alchemy was unique in itself and his alchemy could only provide reference and reference for Yuan Jing, so he should have continued to stay here and wait for the qualified person to appear, but Yuan Jing's help to him was really too great.
Yuan Jing stood up and shook his head: "No need, senior, this cave belongs to you and will belong to you in the future. There is no reason for you to hand it over to me. Besides, don't you want to pass on your alchemy skills to someone else?"
The person in the painting was stunned for a moment: "Do you want me to stay here?"
Yuan Jing smiled: "No, I want you to leave here in the future and go out to recruit disciples and pass on the alchemy skills. Isn't that better? Who knows if the person who ran in really meets the requirements? What if this person is two-faced?"
The man in the painting was stunned again. Yes, that made sense. He tentatively said, "Then I will close this cave and leave here later?" As long as the formation was closed, there would naturally be no more strange phenomena. It would be extremely difficult for outsiders to enter the bottom of the lake.
"This is a good idea!" Yuan Jing clapped his hands.
This... wasn't this kid's idea? When did it become his method?
Yuan Jing continued with a smile, "That's settled, Senior. Brother Duan and I will come to see you again when we have time. By the way, can I pass on this secret book of yours to others?"
The person in the painting nodded repeatedly: "I believe your vision will not be passed on to someone who is two-faced."
"Of course, that won't happen." Yuan Jing nodded repeatedly.
Duan Linzhi twitched his lips and watched Yuan Jing fooling the person in the painting with his eyes open. It was obvious that the final successor and the person he was giving the secret book to now were the same person, so how could he be so hypocritical?
No matter how reluctant the person in the painting was, he still sent Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi away, and also gave them a lot of Yuan plants growing in the cave, since he couldn't use them anyway.
After Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi returned to the shore, the person in the painting closed the formation of the cave. From then on, when the full moon came, there would be no movement on the lake. I wonder if the master of the Qimu Sect would be disappointed when he found that there was no way to the bottom of the lake.
But disappointment is better than despair.
Yuan Jing waved towards the bottom of the lake, and then rushed out of the ruins of the battlefield with Duan Linzhi.
"Where do we go next?"
"Aren't you going to give that thing to Zhai Yuanhao? Why don't you go to the Divine Eagle Country and take a look? If we rush over, I guess the Three Kingdoms League will be coming to an end."
"Okay, then send it over quickly and take a look at the lively scene."
Yuan Jing gained a lot from this trip to the bottom of the lake, both in terms of alchemy and the practice and utilization of soul power. He also obtained many alchemy recipes that were not available outside from the cave and the people in the paintings, which were perfect for verifying his own alchemy skills.
With the Nebula Shuttle as their means of transportation, the two were extremely fast and it took them a few days to reach the Imperial Capital of the Divine Eagle Nation. Before they even entered the city, they heard the warriors outside the city talking about this league, and their ears were filled with all kinds of news.
Among them was the one about Zhai Yuanhao. Sure enough, Zhai Yuanhao defeated the Fifth Prince of the Divine Eagle Kingdom fairly and squarely on the ring, and made the Fifth Prince swear never to bother his senior sister again. Yuan Jing twitched his mouth. The Fifth Prince would definitely not bother Mu Xuanning again in the future, but Zhai Yuanhao's move also raised the Fifth Prince's hatred value to the maximum.
The two did not rush to meet Zhai Yuanhao or other people from the Xingjian Sect. Instead, they strolled through the streets of the city, listening with interest to the various gossips about the league from passers-by. As expected, there were very few people talking about Duan Linzhi. Most of them were gossiping about the young talents who had emerged in this league, such as disciples from second-rate sects like Zhai Yuanhao, and core disciples from first-rate sects like Xie Shuchun. Even Feng Jing's reputation was mentioned by many people, as well as other disciples from the Xingjian Sect.
This means that without Duan Linzhi, the Xingjian Sect will not remain unknown. Duan Linzhi's brilliance not only overshadows the disciples of the Wushuang Sect and other large sects, but also the disciples within the Xingjian Sect. This is of great benefit in enhancing the self-confidence of the disciples of the Xingjian Sect.
"I came to the Imperial Capital to meet Master Duan of the Star Sword Sect. Although Master Duan didn't come this time, I found that the other disciples of the Star Sword Sect are not bad either, like Feng Jing who made it into the top ten, and Jiao Duo. Their swordsmanship is very sharp. Among the top ten warriors, three are from the Star Sword Sect."
"Yes, yes. Although the Xingjian Sect is not well-known at ordinary times, it is still very reliable at critical moments. If Master Duan Feng also came to this league, then it would not be three, but four."
"The most surprising person is Qi Mudi's disciple Zhai Yuanhao. This guy is simply a dark horse. No one would have thought that he could make it into the top ten. Wow, it is said that the fifth prince wants to suppress this guy."
"What's the Fifth Prince? If Zhai Yuanhao had the same conditions as the Fifth Prince since he was a child, he would have surpassed him by a long shot."
"Also, I heard that Zhai Yuanhao, Feng Jing from Xingjian Sect, and Xie Shuchun from Wushuang Sect, are all from the same small country as Master Duan Feng. Is there really so many geniuses in this small country? They actually showed up this time. I think that after this league, if the various sects want to recruit disciples, they will probably go to that small country."
Yuan Jing laughed after hearing this gossip. Duan Linzhi whispered in his ear, "In fact, they forgot to mention one more person, and that is you, Yuan Jing. The alchemy competition is now coming to an end. If you also participate, it will push Fengyan Country's reputation to a higher level."
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "You guys are enough. I won't join in the fun. Let's go and watch the final alchemy competition."
Duan Linzhi smiled. Yuan Jing really didn't need to participate in this kind of alchemy competition. If he went, it would be suspected that he was bullying the weak. His alchemy skills were for exchanging and learning with seniors like the Alchemy Emperor.
The two came to the competition venue and found the location of the Star Sword Sect. They sat quietly in the back and watched the game going on in the stands.
Feng Jing looked around boredly. The disciples of Xingjian Sect were just runners-up in the alchemy competition. They were wiped out in the first wave. Because of this, they were often laughed at by Wushuang Sect and Danyang Sect.
Feng Jing was furious. This was because Junior Brother Zhai didn't come. If Junior Brother Zhai had come on stage, these guys would have known what it felt like to be slapped in the face. Alas, why didn't Junior Brother Zhai come and let those people see what an alchemy genius is?
Huh? Feng Jing rubbed his eyes quickly. He just thought of Junior Brother Zhai, why did he seem to see Junior Brother Zhai and Duan Linzhi? He rubbed his eyes again. No, it was really the two of them. He immediately jumped to the back and made a restriction, and then he screamed:
"When did you two arrive? It's so rude of you two to show up only now."
Duan Linzhi said calmly: "After coming out of a dangerous place, I thought your situation was almost over, so I came to see the result."
This movement also attracted the attention of disciples from other sects. They turned around and were surprised. After a while, all the people from the Star Sword Sect knew they were coming and they no longer focused on the alchemy competition on the field.
Shi Heng also came. When he saw Yuan Jing, he patted his butt and sat next to Yuan Jing. He was speechless: "If you hadn't come, there wouldn't be anyone worth watching in our Xingjian Sect. Even the few who went on the field were trained by you. It's a pity that the time was too short. If you give them a few more years, maybe they can go up and compete with these disciples."
Yuan Jing comforted Shi Heng: "Take your time, you will definitely catch up in the future. By the way, Master Shi Feng, this time Brother Duan and I found some good things. When we finish here and return to the sect, I will prepare one for you, Master Shi Feng."
Shi Heng's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he was not good at teaching apprentices and could make them so angry that he wanted to drive them away, he also sincerely hoped that the Star Sword Sect could make up for this shortcoming. Now Yuan Jing's words gave him hope.
The news of Duan Linzhi's appearance spread quickly, and countless eyes were cast over, trying to estimate his current strength. On the way here, Duan Linzhi restrained his strength, and now he was at the ninth level of military commander. Well, this was in line with his previous speed of improvement. If the improvement was slower, wouldn't it seem that he was weak in the future?
But even with such strength, the warriors who had made the judgment gasped and exchanged glances with each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
He has reached the ninth level of military general, which means he is only one step away from becoming a Martial Saint. Perhaps to others, this one step would be like an insurmountable chasm, but for this person, they dare not make such an assertion. Maybe in two or three years, or even several months, he will break through to become a Martial Saint.
A warrior who has cultivated to the realm of Martial Saint is already a powerful figure in the Xuanwu Continent. Because the Martial Emperor rarely shows up, the powerful figures who communicate with the outside world are all Martial Saints, so Duan Linzhi will soon join this group.
At this time, they were even more grateful that Duan Linzhi did not participate in this league. Otherwise, once he appeared, no one else would have a chance to shine, and he would have monopolized all the limelight.
Xie Shuchun asked his fellow master, Elder Qian of the Wushuang Sect, "Master, what realm is Duan Linzhi in?"
Elder Qian was unhappy and was even more wary of Duan Linzhi than before. He said in a gloomy voice, "He is a ninth-rank general. This kid must have obtained some kind of treasure."
He wished that Duan Linzhi had relied on some rare treasure to raise his strength to his current level, because that would mean that it would become increasingly difficult for him to break through in the future. Although he thought so emotionally, he was also very clear rationally that the possibility of this was very small, because the Xingjian Sect relied less on elixirs to improve its strength than other sects.
Damn it, if he had known earlier, he would have gone to Tianxiao Mountains in person. He would not have believed that Duan Linzhi at that time could be a match for him, the Martial Saint.
But now Duan Linzhi made him feel a great crisis, and he even felt a little unhappy with Xie Shuchun. Before, Xie Shuchun, his disciple, had brought him a lot of face in the league, and he valued this disciple a little more. But now that Duan Linzhi appeared, he was in no good mood at all, and he took his anger out on Xie Shuchun. If Xie Shuchun could be as ambitious as Duan Linzhi, would there be a time for Duan Linzhi to come to the fore?
They all come from a small country and are not that far apart in age, so why is there such a huge difference in their strength and talent?
Xie Shuchun clenched his fists under his sleeves. Ninth level of general! How could he feel sorry for the people who had finally made him reach the ninth level of great martial artist? Before the league, he had used a lot of elixirs and natural treasures to improve his strength to this level, but Duan Lin's appearance brought him back to his original form.
He hated her even more. Why did she come? Why did she need Duan Linzhi when she already had him? If he had known that this day would come when he was still in Fengyan Country, he would not have let Duan Linzhi live in this world.
But no matter how much he hated, he was powerless. The gap between him and Duan Linzhi would get bigger and bigger. Maybe Duan Linzhi would become a martial saint before he was promoted to a general. How big the gap between a general and a martial saint is? How could he not know it as he was in the Wushuang Sect? There were countless generals on the Xuanwu Continent, but the martial saints were obvious to all. It was like a natural moat that blocked many warriors from this natural moat. Only those with outstanding talents could successfully cross it.
This is because even at the military general stage one has to start tempering the warrior's soul, and only by making progress at the same pace can one have the possibility of successfully advancing to the Martial Saint, which cannot be made up for by elixirs alone.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for many people to stay at the military general stage for a long time, or even not be able to advance past it in their entire lives, because there are too many such warriors.
At Qimumen, Zhai Yuanhao said in surprise: "Master Duan Feng of Xingjian Sect is here? Then I'll go over and take a look."
The leader of Qimu Sect was also very happy. It would only benefit Qimu Sect if his disciples could establish a relationship with the leader of Xingjian Sect, Duan Feng. "You can go. It doesn't matter here. Qimu Sect disciples are not so good at other projects. The results of this alchemy competition will not be too bad."
"Yes, Master, I'll go then."
At this time, Zhai Yuanhao had only a preliminary understanding of alchemy and did not spend too much energy on it. After all, the practice alone consumed almost all of his energy. Not all disciples of the Qimu Sect were alchemists, there were also ordinary warriors like Zhai Yuanhao.
Zhai Yuanhao walked towards the Xingjian Sect with a happy look on his face. He was still very confident in his senior sisters who were participating in the competition.
The fifth prince noticed his movements and said gloomily, "Where is this kid doing?"
Someone with inside information said, "He must have gone to Xingjian Sect. The Xingjian Sect's Peak Master Duan is here. This kid knows Peak Master Duan, and he can't wait to curry favor with him."
"Have someone keep an eye on him and see how close Duan Linzhi is to him." He was determined to get rid of this country bumpkin. Not only was he hated for stealing the woman he had his eyes on, but he was also humiliated by him in the ring. The Fifth Prince wanted nothing more than to get rid of this country bumpkin as soon as possible. He thought of many ways to torture him until he was neither alive nor dead. Only in this way could he get rid of the hatred in his heart.
But if that Duan guy has a close relationship with this country bumpkin, the Fifth Prince will have to be a little cautious. Of course, there is no way he can let this guy go, but he will make his actions more covert so that people can't easily catch him.
This kid is dead anyway.
