Lu Jingzhi stood up from his chair, pulled out the wooden chair beside him, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Zan, let's have a drink together!"
"Thanks for teaching me tonight. I'm so grateful!"
Meng Zan smiled slightly and replied modestly, "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me."
After saying that, he sat aside.
After sitting down, he had a drink with Lu Jingzhi and Ye Wu, and asked again with curiosity on his face.
"Why didn't I see you in the inner city?"
Hearing this question, Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but recall his experience tonight, and he talked endlessly about his experience of being trapped in the illusion...
Ye Wu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Boss, is this illusion really that terrifying?"
"Of course, if you encounter a powerful enemy with strong spiritual power, you might be trapped in the illusion forever and unable to extricate yourself."
After some discussion...
The three of them had a good meal and a good drink.
Lu Jingzhi returned to the bed, closed his eyes, and began to expel the alcohol from his body, while at the same time absorbing the external mysterious energy into his body to consolidate the results of this breakthrough.
As time went on, his breath gradually became steady and deep, and he entered a state of deep cultivation.
After soaking in the body-refining fluid, his physique has undergone a qualitative change.
Physical strength and power have been greatly improved, even comparable to powerful monsters.
I wonder what kind of elemental power this time will be? I'm really looking forward to it!
The next day, a mysterious purple light appeared in the eastern sky, cutting through the endless darkness like a sharp sword.
As the morning light breaks, the light flows slowly as if it has spirituality.
After a whole night of practice, Lu Jingzhi finally opened his eyes, began to wash and put on his clothes.
At this moment, there was a cry of surprise from upstairs, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps rushing upstairs.
"Boss, the body of the blond old man has been found."
Lu Jingzhi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's okay if you find out. It's no big deal anyway."
"Let's go, the royal motorcade is waiting downstairs."
"Um."
Ding No. 30——
A group of monks gathered together, talking to each other, and occasionally low voices of conversation could be heard.
"Who do you think killed this Pavilion Master?" a cultivator asked in a low voice.
Another monk shook his head: "How should I know? It wasn't me anyway."
Someone else said, "I think with his strength, there are only a few people who can kill him." Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a sharp gaze came quickly with a group of guards.
The crowd automatically made way for them to pass.
The man walked into the room and saw several disciples standing in the room with different expressions.
Seeing the newcomer, they all clasped their fists and said, "Prince Fu."
Prince Fu nodded, then walked to the bed and carefully examined the tragic scene of Pavilion Master Fang stabbing himself in the heart with a knife.
"Have you moved this body?"
The eldest disciple quickly clasped his fists and replied, "No, this is what it looked like when we discovered it."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Prince Fu, did my master really commit suicide?"
He looked at Pavilion Master Fang's body quietly, his eyes solemn and focused.
Pavilion Master Fang's body seemed extremely stiff, as if frozen in the long river of time.
But that originally majestic face was now frozen with fear and despair, which made people shudder.
"It certainly wasn't suicide."
"Looking at his expression, he must have seen something terrifying."
After a moment of silence...
Prince Fu spoke again: "We will conduct a full investigation, everyone rest assured."
Hearing this, several disciples clasped their fists and expressed their gratitude, but their faces did not show too much sadness.
At the entrance of the Gushu Restaurant, sunlight falls on the ground, forming patches of light and shadow.
Xu Mucheng stood there, her long white hair fluttering in the wind, her figure slender and her temperament elegant.
She looked at the five contestants in front of her and spoke.
"This competition is divided into three rounds. The first round is for the fourth rank, the second round is for the fifth rank, and the third round is for the sixth rank. The competition in each round will be very fierce."
"The top ten will receive precious prizes, and the ultimate champion will receive the Elemental Lotus, long coveted by all major powers."
Xu Muqing's gaze swept across everyone and finally stopped on Lu Jingzhi.
He paused for a few seconds, then quickly moved away and continued, "This competition is not only related to the reputation of the Alchemy Association, but also to the glory of the entire Zitian Empire."
"I hope everyone will give their all and perform at their best."
"Yes, President!"
Lu Jingzhi raised his head and looked at Xu Xu Muqing, his eyes revealing confusion and thought.
"President Xu, if no one succeeds in refining a sixth-grade elixir, how will the winner be determined?"
"If all contestants fail to successfully refine a sixth-grade elixir, the winner will be determined by the quality of the finished product. If the finished products are the same, the winner will be determined by time."
"I see."
Xu Muqing turned his gaze to the other four contestants and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
"there is none left."
"Well, let's go."
Afterwards, dozens of people came to a line of spirit carriages and sat on them.
There were six people in the car, namely Yan An, Lu Xiaoya, Danyu, Lu Jingzhi and two others.
Yan An, Lu Xiaoya and Danyu sat on the right, while Lu Jingzhi and the other two sat on the left.
Lu Jingzhi spoke first, breaking the silence: "Miss Dan, why don't you sit with your master?"
Danyu curled her lips and said, "My master, as the president, has to sit with my grandfather and the Tianxin royal family. I don't want to go."
She recalled the last time she sat with Xu Mucheng and heard them complimenting each other and talking about competitions and past events, which made her feel bored.
