33 I am a genius
The sword finger swiped in front of him, and the sword body split and surrounded Jiang Chen, encircling him in the middle. "I don't want to argue with you," Cang Wenshan said. "As an alchemist, you should just keep your job of refining elixirs. Instead of joining us in a fight, you resort to such despicable behavior." "If you want to compete with us, then face the sword head-on." Jiang Chen paused in mid-air, turned around with a puzzled expression, "I'm an alchemist, and refining elixirs is my method. Isn't it despicable for you to find others to surround me?" "If you're incompetent, then just say you're incompetent, or do you also want to try my alien elixir?" Cang Wenshan's eyes were stern, and he didn't answer Jiang Chen. "Even if you have a thousand strange elixirs, you can't fight us head-on, so don't step into this group under the name of a genius." "Jiang Chen, a genius never avoids battle." The flames scorched Jiang Chen's hair. "Is your so-called genius just about cheating and being chased like a dog by us afterwards?" Jiang Chen's smile faded, and she clenched her hands behind her back. It was an indisputable fact that she had poor talent for cultivation; otherwise, she wouldn't still be in the Golden Core stage. Others didn't break through to the Nascent Soul stage early; they deliberately held back and cultivated slowly, consolidating their realm. But in actual combat, Jindan vs. Nascent Soul were common, while she had diligently cultivated, barely reaching the Jindan stage. Jiang Chen wiped her face, her smile completely gone. She, Jiang Chen, was a genius, a true prodigy. Even if her cultivation talent wasn't great, so what? She could still find another path to the top! Jindan vs. Nascent Soul, she could do it too. A faint blue flame ignited around the giant cauldron. Jiang Chen leaped to its edge, the flames clinging to her clothes. "Cang Wenshan, open your eyes and look carefully! Who says alchemists only know how to make elixirs?" Jiang Chen's voice carried far enough for those chasing after her to hear. "Today, I'm going to crush you." With her right hand, she summoned rows of spiritual herbs, directing them into the cauldron with her fingers. With her left hand, she carved a formation pattern. A waft of medicinal fragrance filled the air, and in less than half a minute, the elixir was complete. The sect leaders and elders outside the forbidden area straightened their expressions, sat upright, and watched intently. Jiang Chen's forehead was covered in sweat. She gritted her teeth and endured, her hands trembling slightly. Forcing herself to refine multiple elixirs simultaneously at the Golden Core stage was too much for her body. The rich aroma of the medicine was involuntary and trance-inducing. Cang Wenshan held his breath, not giving Jiang Chen time to refine. "Thunder Inducing Technique." The clear sky above them suddenly became dark clouds, arcs of electricity flashing in the center. Accompanied by the roar of thunder, several bolts of lightning struck Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen gritted her teeth, ignoring the consequences. She raised her hands and flew the fragrant elixirs toward the thunderbolts. At the moment of impact, the elixirs exploded...
The sword finger swiped in front of him, and the sword body split and surrounded Jiang Chen, encircling him in the middle.
"I don't want to argue with you," Cang Wenshan said. "As an alchemist, you should just keep to your job of refining pills. Instead of getting involved in our fight, you resort to such despicable behavior."
"If you want to challenge us, then face the sword."
Jiang Chen stopped in mid-air, turned around with a puzzled expression, "I'm an alchemist, and alchemy is my method. Looking for others to surround me, isn't that a mean act?"
"If you are incompetent, then just say you are incompetent, or do you also want to try my alien pill?"
Cang Wenshan's eyes were stern, and he didn't answer Jiang Chen. "Even if you have thousands of strange elixirs, if you can't fight us head-on, then don't step into this group under the name of genius."
"Jiang Chen, a genius never shy away from a fight." The flames curled Jiang Chen's hair. "Is your reputation as a genius just a way to cheat and deceive people, and then be chased like a dog by us?"
Jiang Chen's smile faded, and he clenched his hands behind his back.
It is an indisputable fact that she has poor talent in cultivation, otherwise she would not still be in the Golden Core Stage.
Others didn't break through to the Nascent Soul stage early; they deliberately practiced slowly to consolidate their realm. But in actual combat, fighting a Nascent Soul with a Golden Core was common, and she, through her diligent practice, had barely reached the Golden Core stage.
Jiang Chen wiped her face, her smile completely gone. She, Jiang Chen, was a genius, a true prodigy. Even if she wasn't naturally gifted in cultivation, so what? She could still find another way to the top!
She can also fight against the Nascent Soul in the Jindan stage.
A faint blue flame burned around the giant cauldron. Jiang Chen jumped to the edge of the cauldron, and the flames clung to the hem of her clothes.
"Cang Wenshan, open your dog eyes and look carefully. Who said that alchemists can only make pills!" Jiang Chen's voice was heard from far away, and the people who were chasing him could also hear it.
"Today, I will beat you."
With his right hand, he summoned rows of elixirs, and with his fingers, he cast them into the giant cauldron. With his left hand, he carved array patterns. A burst of medicinal fragrance filled the air, and in less than half a minute, the elixir was formed.
The leaders and elders of the various sects outside the forbidden area straightened their expressions, sat up straight, and watched intently.
Jiang Chen's forehead was covered in sweat. She gritted her teeth and endured, her hands trembling slightly. Forcing herself to refine multiple elixirs at the Golden Core stage was too much of a strain on her body.
The medicinal fragrance was so strong that it made people feel dazed. Cang Wenshan held his breath and did not give Jiang Chen time to refine it. "Thunder Induction Technique."
The clear sky above the two of them suddenly became dark clouds, with arcs of electricity flashing in the center, accompanied by thunder, and several bolts of lightning struck Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, ignored everything, raised his hands, and the fragrant pill flew towards Lei Ting.
At the moment of impact, the pills did not explode. Instead, they absorbed the lightning. As Jiang Chen controlled them with his palms, each pill was pulled into a snow-white long sword.
It stabbed towards Cang Wenshan with an arc of electricity. The latter lost consciousness for a moment and circulated his spiritual energy to form a barrier to block the sword.
The spiritual energy was vibrating. Although the elixir-turned-sword was strange, the attack was not strong. Just as Cang Wenshan was about to send his sword flying, these elixir swords exploded at the same time.
The barrier was torn apart in an instant. Fortunately, Cang Wenshan reacted quickly and swept the spiritual power of his right hand, sweeping away the broken debris.
When the smoke cleared, blood dripped from his trembling right hand. He lowered his eyes to take a look, and the wound was healed.
Flames ignited in his palms, drying up the dripping blood. "Although the transformation of elixirs into swords is somewhat miraculous, you can't defeat me with just these."
Jiang Chen stared at his injured hand and sighed secretly. What a pity, she only knows how to make pills.
"He's truly a prodigy, having delved into the study of elixirs to this degree." Yu Cang was filled with admiration. "It's a shame that alchemy is still alchemy, how could he possibly surpass sword cultivation?"
Yuan Yiyue remained silent, staring at Jiang Chen's stubborn brows, then suddenly smiled and relaxed her body, "That may not be the case."
Yu Cang glanced at her and said, "You can't be blindly optimistic just because you are a disciple of your own sect."
Countless spirit stones appeared out of thin air. Jiang Chen quickly outlined with his fingers, and a huge magic circle appeared under the cauldron. The spirit stones were thrown into it, and the array pattern glowed.
The flames of the magic circle dyed the sky blue, and all kinds of rare minerals and elixirs were thrown into the giant cauldron.
Sweat flowed down from his forehead and accumulated on his black eyelashes, but Jiang Chen was reluctant to blink. The fragrance of elixir filled the air again.
People from other sects stopped in the distance and did not come over. These people were curious about Jiang Chen's methods and were not in a hurry to catch her.
The pill flew out of the giant cauldron, but there was no pill pattern on its surface. It suddenly bounced towards the group of swords surrounding Jiang Chen, wrapping and swallowing him.
Immediately afterwards, a blue fire ignited. Outside the forbidden area, Wen Xuanqing put his hands behind his back and raised the corners of his lips.
"Backtrack!"
The sword inside the pill hummed, the clone was easily melted, and the main body fought back bravely.
Cang Wenshan felt the sword was damaged, rushed towards Jiang Chen, and raised his palm to slap him in the face.
The body of the tripod shrank, Jiang Chen grasped the tripod legs and swung it hard towards Cang Wenshan.
At the moment of collision, the cauldron vibrated and hummed. Jiang Chen's body first vibrated, and then he flew out directly. His face turned red, and he turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
My palms felt numb and I couldn't hold the tripod anymore because of the shaking.
Cang Wenshan was not feeling well either. Even with his own flames blocking the way, his palms were still burned by the blue flames, revealing his bones.
After swallowing a pill, the flesh and blood grew rapidly and returned to its original appearance.
Cang Wenshan did not chase Jiang Chen. Instead, he slapped the pill that had swallowed the main sword with his palm, but the moment his palm touched it, he felt like he was being swallowed.
Jiang Chen coughed and laughed, "Cang Wenshan, I wonder what you would do if your natal spirit sword turned into raw iron and rotten stone?"
Cang Wenshan's still calm face finally couldn't remain calm any longer, "Impossible, you can't do this!"
His sword is made of various magical ores and metals, how could it be dissolved by elixirs?
But he could definitely feel that Changfeng Sword was asking him for help.
"If it were just me, I really couldn't do it." Wiping the blood from his lips, Jiang Chen laughed despite the pain in his chest. "But I know Wen Xuanqing. She and I developed this elixir together. It can restore the spiritual treasure to its original state of refinement."
She pointed at Cang Wenshan and smiled playfully, "You are facing two geniuses at the same time."
Pointing at himself, "Alchemy genius Jiang Chen, weapon refining genius Wen Xuanqing."
"If there is anyone in this world who can go back and refine a successful spiritual weapon, it's only her!"
"And if I can combine them and refine them into a pill, I'm the only one!"
"Burn!"
The pill ignited flames, forcing Cang Wenshan to retreat. The Changfeng Sword inside the pill could strike left and right, but the dense array patterns still bound it.
The array patterns carved on the sword are fading.
"Wen Xuanqing..." Yu Cang muttered to himself. He was the talented weapon refiner who had disappeared for many years. He was the one who had the greatest hope of breaking through to become a heavenly-level weapon refiner when he was young.
He chuckled, "No wonder she can trace back spiritual artifacts, she is indeed worthy of it."
"Thank you for the praise, Master Shangxuan." A smiling voice came from below.
The clan leaders looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman with a bright smile and a strong and powerful figure.
"Wen...Xuanqing!" Yu Cang said in a daze, not very sure.
Back then, before Wen Xuanqing disappeared, she was just a young girl with a fresh face.
The other disciples below who were not qualified to enter the forbidden area were in an uproar. The spiritual weapons refined by Wen Xuanqing were now circulating on the market and were very popular. They did not expect to see the real person today.
"Don't even think about asking me to refine weapons." She noticed the overly bright eyes of these people and smiled, "I'm just accompanying a friend to participate in the forbidden land battle. It's such a boring show."
"Jiang Chen, do you really think I dare not kill you?" If his natal spirit sword is damaged, he will also be seriously injured.
Cang Wenshan no longer wasted time. He stepped on the breeze and appeared in front of Jiang Chen in an instant. His fingertips slid in front of him, and a faint light flashed and struck Jiang Chen.
He wanted to force the other party to retreat, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen's eyes to be fierce. He didn't avoid at all, but took the initiative to rush over and hug Cang Wenshan. The faint light slashed diagonally from the left shoulder to the right waist, and blood splattered.
He raised the tripod in his right hand and smashed it hard on Cang Wenshan's head. At the same time, dark blue flames enveloped the two of them.
He felt a sharp pain as his flesh and blood were burned. He raised his arm to block the tripod, and along with the pain came the sound of bones breaking.
Cang Wenshan became furious and grabbed Jiang Chen's wrist, burning with pure Yang fire, betting on who would let go first because of the pain.
"Tsk, crazy, but he wouldn't fight so ruthlessly!"
Several people in the air smacked their lips, their hair standing on end.
The junior brother was extremely anxious and wanted to go over, but was stopped by others.
"They've both risked their lives, so what's the point of you going there?" she said. "Jiang Chen is fighting to prove himself. No one is allowed to interfere today!"
His hair was burnt, emitting a burnt smell and a scent of meat. Jiang Chen's facial features were distorted in pain, and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, which were immediately dried by Cang Wenshan's fire.
She had never felt such severe pain in her life, but she refused to let go.
"You want to be roasted by fire? I'll satisfy you!" She threw the tripod into the air, and the mouth of the tripod rushed down and expanded, swallowing the two of them into its stomach.
Jiang Chen's hoarse laughter rang out from inside, "Cang Wenshan, today I will refine the two of you into a pill together!"
"Madman!" Several onlookers cursed and rubbed their arms subconsciously. Why had they never seen Jiang Chen like this before?
The junior brother swung his arms vigorously, trying to rush over, "Senior brother."
"If you ask me, Jiang Chen just wants some spirit stones, so just give them to her." Someone chuckled, "Now look, your senior brother is going to be transformed into a pill."
The junior fellow glared at the man, but the latter shrugged nonchalantly.
There is a group of young geniuses, each of them has extraordinary talents. Anyone who can be admired by them is either not strong enough or not ruthless enough.
Suddenly, there was a vibration sound from the tripod body, and there were layers of buzzing sounds. It was Cang Wenshan and Jiang Chen who were madly hitting the inner wall.
If he hadn't been refined, or if she hadn't been hit so hard that her bones and tendons were broken.
Outside the forbidden area, Wen Xuanqing pursed her lips and tapped the ground with her toes unconsciously. If this continued, Jiang Chen would not be able to bear it.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, Feng Jingluo finally escaped from the boundless green. She spread her spiritual sense to the extreme to search for Yun Ruchen's figure.
The young master's realm is low, and if he encounters a powerful monster, he may not be able to protect himself.
Just when Feng Jingluo determined Yun Ruchen's location, she frowned and saw a group of people surrounding him.
She hovered in the air and looked to the other side. Violent fluctuations came from afar.
She saw Jiang Chen's tripod hanging in the air and wailing, its body stained with blood of an unknown person.
The wind blew gently, and the figure flew towards Jiang Chen as fast as a stream of light.
