Chapter 541
In the sixth qualifying round, Yuan Jing succeeded in making a pill again after failing once.
For some reason, the alchemist warriors who were watching him making pills all had a strange feeling. It seemed that this alchemist Zhai was too good at controlling the rhythm. Wouldn't he be able to succeed in making a high-level pill next time after failing once?
Hua Wenmeng rolled his eyes a few times, then lowered his voice and said to Duan Linzhi: "Brother Duan, could Zhai Xiaoba have done this on purpose?"
Duan Linzhi's eyes flashed with a smile: "I did it on purpose, for fear of bringing too much pressure to others."
Hua Wenmeng wiped his face speechlessly. It was okay. This was the first time he had met such an alchemist. With such talent and level, he would have a chance to make a name for himself even if he went to the upper realm. No, he would definitely be more promising than him.
After this round, only the last five were left out of the twelve. However, compared to Yuan Jing, the other four were rather reluctant. Not only had they used up all three chances, but the quality of the pills they produced was much worse than Yuan Jing's. The four of them took a look at the pills in front of Yuan Jing and felt very stressed. They saw the gap between themselves and Zhai Yuanjing.
They saw it, and the audience in the audience saw it too. They didn’t expect that just like the previous competition, a dark horse would emerge, which was amazing.
The Xingjian Sect is in the limelight this time. Not only is Duan Linzhi not a big deal, there is also Zhai Yuanjing who overpowers all other alchemists. Moreover, he comes from the Xingjian Sect, which is said to have the worst alchemy skills, which makes those alchemy sects very depressed.
In the last round, which was the seventh round of the promotion competition, Yuan Jing slowly succeeded again after failing once in front of the high-level Heavenly Grade elixir. Many people had strange looks on their faces, feeling that this guy clearly still had some strength left. Has he surpassed the Heavenly Grade alchemist and advanced to the Saint Grade?
This is too unbelievable. It is impossible to think about it. Yes, he must still be at the high level of the heavenly grade and is still some distance away from the saint level.
Except for Zhai Yuanjing, the other four stopped here. No one could successfully refine a high-grade heavenly elixir. However, seeing that Yuanjing still succeeded, they admitted defeat with a sincere heart.
Everyone in the Xingjian Sect was extremely excited about the result. The disciples clapped their hands so hard that their hands turned red and their faces flushed with excitement. They were even more excited than when Duan Linzhi won the championship in the arena, because this was the first time in the history of the Xingjian Sect. Let's see who from other sects would dare to ridicule their Xingjian Sect for being backward in alchemy.
The alchemists and warriors from the Wushuang Sect, Danyang Sect, Shenying Nation, and Donghuang Nation were all frowning on this. To them, this result was almost impossible, but it happened nonetheless.
Think about it, Shi Heng was stuck at the Earth-level Alchemist level for many years. It wasn't that he didn't have enough talent, but that the Star Sword Sect lacked some conditions, which made his alchemy skills stagnate. But this time, the Star Sword Sect made up for these shortcomings? Where did the Star Sword Sect get these things from?
"What is Shi Heng's current level?" asked the leader of Danyang Sect.
"Isn't he an earth-level alchemist? Did he make a breakthrough?"
The face of the leader of Danyang Sect darkened: "I'm afraid he has already been promoted to a Heaven-level Alchemist. Isn't it said that this Master Zhai has a very good relationship with Master Shi Feng? Zhai Yuanjing has already been promoted to a Heaven-level Alchemist, so will he not help Shi Heng to be promoted?"
"Master, are you saying that... the things in the ancient battlefield ruins some time ago actually fell into the hands of Zhai Yuanjing first?"
The clan leader reminded him, "Don't forget that there is Duan Linzhi beside Zhai Yuanjing. Didn't they say that they had been training outside before the Three Kingdoms Tournament? Go check and you should be able to find out that they entered and exited the ancient battlefield ruins."
"But if they really get it, what can we do?"
Yes, what can they do? The leader of Danyang Sect frowned even more deeply. If it were a second-rate force, Danyang Sect would kill them at will, but Xingjian Sect was different. Even though this sect was not rich and its scale was not that large, it stood at the top of Xuanwu Continent with the fighting power of its disciples.
Not only the leader of Danyang Sect had such suspicion, but the leader of Chang Family did the same. He suspected that the things in the ancient battlefield were taken away by Duan Linzhi and Zhai Yuanjing. Besides, the talent shown by Zhai Yuanjing also shocked them. They didn't know the details of this unknown disciple before, but since Zhai Yuanjing's amazing performance on the stage, his information has become known to more and more people.
For example, he came from a poor small country just like Duan Linzhi. It only took him a year to go from knowing nothing to becoming a Xuan-level alchemist after learning alchemy. After entering the Xingjian Sect, it took him several more years to become a Tian-level high-level alchemist. This speed of advancement was faster than riding the Nebula Shuttle, which made several Saint-level alchemists jealous.
If they had this speed, they would have become Dan Emperors long ago.
When Yuan Jing came back from the competition stage, he was welcomed by all the warriors of the Star Sword Sect. In fact, his true strength was unknown to Shi Heng and the Sect Master. Therefore, this time when he came back, the Sect Master was more polite to Yuan Jing, and not just for Duan Linzhi's sake.
He even felt fortunate that he had agreed to Duan Linzhi's conditions and accepted Zhai Yuanjing into the sect, and also treated Zhai Yuanjing generously despite the pressure from other senior leaders. Now it seemed that Zhai Yuanjing and Duan Linzhi gave back more to the sect. Just the Heavenly Grade Soul Power Secrets handed over to the sect master and the inheritance of the Pill Emperor would bring endless benefits to the Xingjian Sect.
As for whether other sects had any doubts, the leader of the Xingjian Sect could let them doubt. Would they dare to attack the Xingjian Sect? Then just go ahead. The Xingjian Sect had no other skills, but they were definitely the best at fighting. Who told them that their sect was full of sword madmen?
The following talismans, array techniques, and weapon techniques had nothing to do with the Xingjian Sect, and the Xingjian Sect could not send disciples who were good at these to participate. Of course, the sect leader didn't know that either of these two people could become a dark horse in everyone's eyes, but they had already made enough of a splash, so there was no need for them to show off.
The Xingjian Sect celebrated in advance. This time, the Xingjian Sect was definitely the biggest winner among all the sects.
In the evening, the group returned to the Xingjian Sect's base. Everyone was in a very good mood, talking and laughing all the way. But when they saw the two warriors guarding the door, Sect Master Xing frowned slightly, because judging from their attire, they were clearly the attendants of the envoys, and the looks of these two attendants were also outstanding.
Yuan Jing knew the identities of the two people when he saw them. He squeezed Duan Linzhi's hand and said, "I didn't expect that woman to be so impatient and send someone here so quickly."
"Who? What are their intentions?" The sect leader heard it with his sharp ears.
Yuan Jing could make fun of Duan Linzhi, but he didn't know how to explain this to the sect leader. Duan Linzhi reached out and knocked on his head, then explained: "Those two people should be the attendants of an envoy named Ji Peilan. The relationship between Envoy Ji and his attendants is hard to describe."
Sect Master Xing understood immediately, but was shocked and angry and said, "That woman fell in love with you? Damn it."
Duan Linzhi said indifferently: "Don't worry, Sect Master. She can't do anything. Besides, we are not without help."
Didn’t you see that Hua Wenmeng is still on their side? If that woman dares to come, let Hua Wenmeng go.
When the group got closer, the two attendants were very arrogant. They didn't even take Sect Master Xing seriously. They didn't even look at him, but looked directly at Duan Linzhi, with jealousy flashing in their eyes: "Are you Duan Linzhi? Come with us, Envoy Ji wants to see you."
They acted as if you were lucky and should go with them to see Envoy Ji.
Hua Wenmeng wanted to curse after hearing this, but Yuan Jing looked at him at this moment. Hua Wenmeng sighed in his heart, but still walked out. When he discovered Ji Peilan's mentality before, Hua Wenmeng said that he could help Duan Linzhi and Zhai Yuanjing solve this problem.
Hua Wenmeng pushed aside the disciples blocking his way and sneered, "Emissary Ji? Which Envoy Ji is so arrogant? It would be better to ask you Envoy Ji to roll over here."
The two attendants were furious and were about to scold this rude warrior who dared to contradict them, but when they saw Hua Wenmeng's face clearly, the words got stuck in their throats. They lowered their raised chins in an instant and said in shock: "Emissary Hua, why are you here? We are following the order of Envoy Ji to bring this..."
"Following the orders of Envoy Ji? Where does Ji Peilan get the power to order the warriors of the lower world around? Get out of here, and tell me what I, Hua Wenmeng, said. When did we have the power to interfere in the affairs of the lower world? Get out, get out of here!"
Not only the two attendants were frightened, but the warriors of the Star Sword Sect were also frightened. Many of them had played around with Hua Wenmeng before, but they never knew his other identity. They had never expected that he was also a messenger from the upper realm. Now that he had an aura that was shocking, it was clearly the aura of a Martial Emperor.
The Emperor's aura pressed down on the two attendants. Even if they dared to rely on Ji Peilan's power, they were powerless to resist the Emperor. How could they dare to say anything else? They immediately ran away in despair and decided to go to Ji Peilan and complain about Hua Wenmeng. In fact, all of them, the attendants, knew Hua Wenmeng's situation.
The scene was quiet for a moment, but the Xing Sect Master reacted quickly and said with a smile: "I don't know why Envoy Hua came. It's our Xingjian Sect that was negligent. It seems that Lin Zhi and Yuan Jing already knew the identity of Envoy Hua. Then let them receive Envoy Hua as usual."
"Okay, okay." Hua Wenmeng responded quickly. This was better. He was not used to being too polite.
Hua Wenmeng followed Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing to their residence, and the three of them felt that they needed to sit down and have a good chat about their future and the upper realm.
Hua Wenmeng sat opposite Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing. For some reason, even though he was a Martial Emperor, he was a little scared of the two people opposite him. What was wrong with him? Could it be that these two people were stronger than him?
"Well, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything I can."
Yuan Jing asked curiously, "You don't get along with those messengers? Can I ask why?"
Wow, the first question hit the nail on the head for Hua Wenmeng. Hua Wenmeng covered his chest and began to answer Yuan Jing's questions.
