What annoyed Gao Tian and his apprentice the most was that they were ready to go, but others did not take the chance.
Gao Tian felt that his promise of taking ten orders a month was now a big joke. He and his master had promised to take the orders, which he thought was condescending. They had come this far, but others did not follow their ideas.
This state was not suitable for refining the elixir. After Gao Tian sent Huang Ruyue away, he went to his master.
Jin Long was there too, carefully serving her master. When she saw Gao Tian coming in, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not nose. She actually let that woman into her brother's alchemy room. Don't say she didn't see the woman's intentions.
"Master, what should we do?" The reality was that they were being led away by others.
Jin Long snorted coldly: "If you ask me, you shouldn't be fooled by them. Do you think they are worthy of asking your master to open a radio station with them? If you really can't stand them, just find someone to deal with them and be done with it."
Gao Tian frowned: "The people we have don't have such great ability to break into the opponent's guest house and eliminate them at the hands of the combined cultivators. Besides, if the matter is exposed, the mayor of Fengming City may not give your master face." If
the host was here, it would be fine. As a master and disciple, they really don't have that much face in front of the mayor of Fengming City. The mayor himself is not only a great master, but also has a big family behind him.
Chen Xing didn't seem to be affected too much. Seeing his two disciples arguing endlessly, he said, "Okay, I have my own ideas. You should focus on refining pills during this period of time, and strive for good results in the alchemy competition two years later. As for those orders, you have the initiative to choose which orders to accept. Try to pick some orders that can let you practice."
Seeing that Jin Long was about to say something, Chen Xing scolded, "You have been out for so long, haven't you found that you are lagging behind your senior brother in refining pills? Don't keep your eyes on Master Huang all day long. If you can't even beat her in the end, it will be a disgrace to me, your master."
Jin Long was scolded by his master, so he didn't dare to refute. He hid the hatred in his eyes and whispered, "Yes, Master, I know, and I will do my best."
"Well, go out."
After the two disciples left, Shen Xing's calm eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he took out a transponder that could be used across states, and said a few words to the other end of the transponder.
"How sure are you this time?" A voice came from the other end.
"Fifty percent." Shen Xing said decisively, "It is precisely because this alchemist refused Gao Tian's offer and Lingyun Tower's invitation that I have deepened my suspicion of him. I don't believe he has other ways in Lingzhou."
The other side hesitated for a while and said: "Okay, I will send someone over for you. Also, you need to be careful. Many people in Lingzhou are watching this matter."
"Shen Xing understands."
After turning off the communication, Shen Xing seriously thought about how to act, and tried to minimize the impact to avoid attracting the attention of people in Lingzhou. Then, a flash of enthusiasm flashed in Shen Xing's eyes. If he really found that thing, although he could not monopolize it, the rewards given to him by the building would definitely be great. He could make further progress and his status in the building would also rise.
So now the small fights outside were not that important to him at all. The troubles of the two apprentices and Wu Yuan gave him more clues and made him feel more suspicious.
In a blink of an eye, a year passed. During this year, Gu Yao encountered small troubles constantly, but no big troubles occurred. Everyone's attention
was still on Master Shen Xing and his apprentice, so they were relatively quiet here.
During this year, the three of them did not leave Fengming City, because all parties in Fengming City were afraid of the city lord's strength and did not dare to make big moves under her nose.
Gu Yao and the others also heard Jiang Jingfeng mention the city lord. This was a female city lord, and she was a demon cultivator. She had the blood of the Phoenix Clan and possessed Phoenix Flame. She was very powerful. The cultivators and forces who dared to disobey the city lord's orders would be expelled from Fengming City by the city lord if the circumstances were serious.
"Senior, now that Master and Apprentice Shen Xing have not made any big moves, do you mean they have given up?" Gu Yao said this, but his intuition told him that it was far from time to relax.
Xu Chen crossed his legs and looked at Gu Yao and Chi Changye, raising his chin towards them: "Say whatever you want to say."
Chi Changye said bluntly: "Don't they have a small competition every ten years and a big competition every hundred years in Lingzhou? The next small competition is only a year away, and it will take a lot of time on the way. But Chen Xing's two disciples are not in a hurry to return to Lingzhou at this time, but are very calm in Fengzhou. It's hard to convince people that they have no conspiracy."
"What do you mean?" Xu Chen raised his
eyebrows and asked. Chi Changye frowned slightly: "I'm worried that they will call for help. Once a great master intervenes, we will immediately be at
a disadvantage. Xu Chen stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, he is just a Mahayana cultivator, he won't take our lives. This alchemist has worked so hard to reshape his body, I cherish this life more than anyone else. Let's go, Master Jiang must be waiting anxiously."
Gu Yao and Chi Changye looked at each other. It seemed that Xu Chen was prepared.
The two thought of the storage ring that the master gave to Xu Chen. They wondered what else was in it besides the spiritual herbs and top-grade spiritual materials needed for body reshaping. They wondered if there were life-saving things as they thought.
The two followed Xu Chen out. Jiang Jingfeng and his men were waiting outside the guest house. After the two sides said hello, they set off together.
This time they were heading to the main pavilion of Dingxuan Pavilion, where there would be a fierce competition.
When they arrived at the square of the main pavilion, Many monks have gathered here. Gu Yao can recognize many familiar people at a glance, such as Young Master Wu Yuan, and several other Young Masters he has heard of or seen once or twice. Young
Master Chen, who is a Taoist couple with Fairy Ni, who has the blood of the Peacock Clan, is sitting next to Wu Yuan. He said something to him, and they both laughed. When they noticed the movement at the door, they both looked over. Young Master Chen's
eyes were full of schadenfreude, and Wu Yuan's eyes were full of naked malice. Jiang Jingfeng and Gu Yao did not notice. In addition, because he had received the news earlier and didn't know what Wu Yuan promised, Young Master Chen gave up the competition and joined Wu Yuan.
Jiang Jingfeng asked Wei Wei to take the others to find a seat, and he went to greet the elders and the head of the main pavilion.
Along the way, everyone's attitude towards them was not warm. Of course, the attitude towards Gu Yao was more complicated. After all, he could not compare with Shen Xing, and there was a big gap. But after all, he was a person who had saved Kuang Lan before, and his alchemy skills were indeed outstanding. It would not be easy for him to defeat Gao Tian.
The cultivators above the fusion stage can ignore Gu Yao, because Gu Yao can't refine the third-grade or higher elixirs they need, but how can the cultivators below the fusion stage ignore Gu Yao's existence or even his ridicule? Maybe they will ask him for help at any time. After all, Master and Apprentice Shen Xing will leave Fengzhou sooner or later. They can't go all the way to Lingzhou to ask for elixirs for fourth-grade elixirs.
But they still don't understand why Gu Yao, a fourth-grade elixir master with a bright future, is so desperate to stay with Jiang Jingfeng
? What good will this do him?
If he had been recruited by Wu Yuan, they wouldn't have had to get tangled up like this.
"Jingfeng, you're here." The Pavilion Master smiled when he saw Jiang Jingfeng and said, "Are you ready this time?"
Jiang Jingfeng replied respectfully, "I am ready. Thank you for your concern."
An elder beside him snorted disapprovingly, "What can he prepare? The Pavilion Master asked him in vain. In my opinion, Jiang Jingfeng, you'd better stop as soon as possible. There is still room for maneuver now. If things get really bad, Jiang Jingfeng, you will have no way out."
"Jingfeng," another elder said regretfully, "Do you really have to rely on Master Yao to compete for you?"
The elder in front spoke sarcastically again: "No matter how capable Master Yao is, he is only a fourth-grade alchemist. You really think highly of him and think he can compete with a third-grade alchemist. I'm not speaking for Wu Yuan, but you should know that we in Dingxuan Pavilion have always wanted to break into Lingzhou, but we haven't been able to do so for many years. We have been wandering around the periphery. Now the opportunity is right in front of us, and it's all thanks to Wu Yuan."
Although these words were a bit sharp, many elders had such thoughts, and the elders who had originally been optimistic about Jiang Jingfeng also felt sorry for him.
Jiang Jingfeng said calmly, "I'm sorry to have let the Pavilion Master and the elders worry about me. But now that I've come to this point, I want to try to see if I can go on and how far I can go. Giving up halfway will leave me with even greater regrets."
"Humph! You're just being stubborn!"
Jiang Jingfeng smiled and retreated.
Jiang Jingfeng returned to his team. Everyone saw what happened just now, and they didn't dare to say anything more to him for fear of upsetting him.
Jiang Jingfeng himself didn't care. After talking to Wei Wei for a while, he saw that Gu Yao and Chi Changye looked strange, so he asked, "What's the trouble?"
Just now, Gu Yao and Chi Changye were looking around as if nothing had happened, but they were actually trying to verify their guess. At this moment, they found a strange face beside Master Shen Xing and his apprentice. Before they could look away, the strange monk who was resting his eyes suddenly opened his eyes, catching the two of them off guard.
The owner of the gaze stared at them for a while, then closed his eyes and continued to rest his eyes.
Gu Yao and Chi Changye, who withdrew their gaze, felt the pressure from the high-level monk.
Xu Chen's voice transmission also confirmed their thoughts: "Those guys in Lingzhou have really not changed their practices for so many years. They sent Mahayana monks to deal with two Lianxu period. It will make people laugh if they tell others about it."
Gu Yao stopped Jiang Jingfeng's doubts and said in a voice transmission: "There is a strange monk behind Master Shen Dan. He is not here with good intentions."
Jiang Jingfeng was startled and looked towards Shen Xing. As expected, he saw a strange face. This person was not from the Wuyuan team. As competitors, everyone knew clearly what kind of manpower each had, but they had never seen this strange monk.
Seeing him sitting with Shen Xing: "Could it be someone brought by Master Shen Dan? He has never shown up before?"
