Chapter 94 The eve of the showdown (5,000 words, please collect and read)

After learning that Li Yaolong had broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, the top management of the Ma family did not feel surprised.

I had expected it before, but I didn't expect to step into the Yuan Dan realm so soon.

However, they believed that Li Yaolong had taken high-level elixirs that shortened life span and increased cultivation, so they did not take it to heart.

On the contrary, Li Yuan and Li Yunqing broke through to the Void Realm, which shocked them.

Especially Li Yuan also possesses the dragon bone in his body.

Although there have been some problems before, if they are completely solved, it will take at most twenty years to enter the realm of nirvana.

By then, the Ma family may be at risk of being exterminated.

Therefore, the top management of the Ma family did not object to the contractual duel between Ma Jianyang and Li Yuan, and all agreed.

The wealthy family witnessed that in the next ten months, they will not make any plans that are detrimental to the Li family.

In this contract duel, another candidate of the Ma family was determined to be the number one among the younger generation.

He is also the grandson of Ma Zhitian, his eldest son's son Ma Junrui, who has cultivated to the middle stage of the Void Realm.

Ma Junrui's parents have average cultivation talents, so they were taught by Ma Zhitian personally since childhood, and their strength is not much weaker than Ma Jianyang.

For him to form a team with Ma Jianyang to participate in this contract duel, they definitely don't want Li Yuan to come out of the duel alive.

………

The palace city of Xiayang City, the capital of Daxia.

In an empty hall, there were only two figures, an old man and a middle man.

"Lao Chu, the Qian family collected a thousand materials for the Into the Void Pill some time ago. I heard that the branch of the Qian family in Yangyan City, the capital of Southeast Yuanzhou, found a high-level alchemist to help refine the Three Lines into the Void Pill.

But really?"

A middle-aged man in a python robe stood on a high platform in front of a very large table and asked the old man in green below.

"Back to the king, there is something wrong with the materials for the Void Pill. I don't know if it is the alchemist that the Qian family split up. I heard that the alchemist has a success rate of 30% in refining the three-line Void Pill.

I really admire your methods."

The answer sounded like the relationship between a monarch and his subjects, but the old man in green clothes below straightened his waist and did not perform the courtesy of a monarch and his subjects.

There is only one person who does not behave like a monarch or a minister in the palace, Chu Yuan, one of the four king-level alchemists in the Great Xia Dynasty. Not only is this person very skilled in alchemy, but he is also a powerful person in the Nirvana realm.

The king Chu Yuan spoke of was Xia Guoxuan, the current head of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Xia Guoxuan has been in charge of Daxia Jiangshan for nearly sixty years, and his cultivation has not been neglected. It is also the cultivation of Nirvana.

"Why is Mr. Chu so sure? I have never seen you admire someone so much when it comes to refining medicine."

Hearing Chu Yuan's answer, Xia Guoxuan was a little surprised that he admired the person who made the medicine so much, and walked away quickly.

In his opinion, in addition to Chu Yuan being extremely courteous to his father Xia Yuantian, the entire Daxia royal family including him, the king, could not convince him.

"The King must be laughing at me. Although the Into the Void Pill is only a medium-level Condensation Pill, I am only 20% sure of refining it to the quality of the Three Patterns.

"So, the person who refines the medicine is not Mu Yi, nor Wan Xianyun. As for the one in Xiaque City, he may be able to achieve a 30% certainty, but he will definitely not make such a big deal with the Qian family." Chu Yuan explained.

"Isn't he an alchemist in Daxia?" Xia Guoxuan pondered for a moment and murmured.

Chu Yuan stroked his beard and nodded: "I thought so too. So before coming to the palace, I went to the Qian family first and asked Qian Qinghao, the head of the Qian family, for confirmation."

"How?" Xia Guoxuan asked.

"Qian Qinghao has confirmed it, but he doesn't know where the person who made the medicine came from." Chu Yuan said solemnly, and then changed the subject, "The demand for the royal family's medicine is too great, and I am powerless, so I can only slowly refine it.

It has been unable to supply the King’s consumption.”

Chu Yuan was telling the truth. According to his level of medicine refining, he could refine at most two or three batches of medicinal materials a day, and the quality of the three patterns could only reach 20%.

"Haha, Mr. Chu, you misunderstood. I never meant to blame you." Xia Guoxuan said hurriedly, fearing that Chu Yuan would think that he was looking for other high-level alchemists.

"If the king later asks who the person who made the medicine is, he would like to introduce him to you. I would like to pay him a visit."

"No problem." Xia Guoxuan said.

………

Xia Yang City Alchemist Guild, a courtyard.

In the courtyard, a white-haired old man wearing a sky blue robe with golden patterns and a blue forehead was playing chess with a middle-aged man wearing a golden cross-collared long-sleeved robe.

Standing beside the middle-aged man is a middle-aged woman in a light golden dress. Although her face has some traces of age, her purple belt highlights her graceful and graceful figure.

"Haha, Master Mu is still more skilled. It seems that I will continue to practice hard." Suddenly, the middle-aged man shook his head and smiled heartily.

"Qin Ming, you should stop making fun of me."

The white-haired old man smiled slightly, touched his long beard, looked at the middle-aged woman on one side and asked: "Qiyu, are you here today to purchase the Xudan materials for the Qian family?"

"It seems that nothing can escape Master Mu's eyes." The middle-aged woman nodded and smiled faintly.

The white-haired old man is Mu Yi, the president of the Alchemist Guild of Xia Yang City. He is also one of the four king-level alchemists in the Great Xia Dynasty and a powerful Nirvana Realm expert.

This man and woman are Qin Ming, the young head of the Qin family, one of the six major families in the royal city, and his wife Qin Qiyu. Qin Ming is at the Yuan Dan realm, and Qin Qiyu is also at the peak of the late Yuan Dan realm.

"Hey, you don't have to look at me like this. The person who the Qian family purchased the materials for Xu Dan and helped refine the pill is not me. I am not even 30% sure.

"Not only do I not have it, I can guarantee that Chu Yuan and Wan Xianyun don't have it either. As for whether the old immortal in Xia Quecheng can do it, I don't know. With his temperament, he will not do such a thing.

"However, when Qian Qinghao asked me to provide materials before, he did say that they had found an alchemist to refine the Xu Dan, and the quality of its three lines could reach 30%. He just asked me to keep it a secret, so he didn't say anything.

"I guess the Qian family purchased too much. I don't know who spread the news." Mu Yi sighed softly and said slowly.

"Oh, there are rumors that the person who made the medicine for the Qian family may have been made by a few of you." Qin Ming was a little disappointed. After all, he came today for the Three Marks Entering the Void Pill. "However, I still have to thank Master Mu for these."

He has taken care of our Qin family for many years and refined a lot of Xuxu Dan."

"Qin Ming, don't be disappointed. The Qian family is a businessman and will definitely make a deal. I really want to meet the alchemist. If we can communicate with each other, we might be able to improve even though there has been no progress for several years.

Level of refining medicine.”

Mu Yi stood up, walked to the other side of Qin Ming, and patted his shoulder.

The struggle between the various forces in Xia Yang City is not comparable to the petty fights in Yang Yan City.

Any cultivation resources that can improve your cultivation level will become the target of competition from all parties.

"It seems we have to send someone to Yangyan City." Qin Qiyu on the side thought for a long time and said.

"A few days ago, didn't it say that your brothers Qin Tian and Qin Chen went to Yuanzhou?" Mu Yi was startled and asked immediately.

"Master Mu, don't mention these two bastards. If you don't practice well at Xialin Academy, you have to go to Xiaoxing Mountain outside Xingcheng, Yuanzhou to practice. No one in Xingcheng has seen them, so they probably didn't go.

After all, there is no Yuan Dan Realm cultivation in that place, so the degree of danger can be imagined. They should be self-aware." Qin Ming looked slightly unhappy when he mentioned his two sons.

Mu Yi smiled and said: "Haha, young people have to go out and practice. Staying in Xia Lin Academy will not be of much help to their growth. Hasn't Qin Tian broken through to the Yuan Dan realm yet?"

Qin Qiyu sighed and said: "Hey, it's far away, and he hasn't even reached the perfect peak of Tuxu Realm. No, as soon as his brother broke through to the late stage of Tuxu Realm and entered the middle courtyard, he took him out with him to practice.

"Although he usually talks a lot and is under a lot of pressure, he is almost forty now, and he is also anxious. He can't contact them for a while, and there is no hope for the separation of the Qian family in Yangyan City. We can only

Let someone from Xingcheng go over and check it out."

Mu Yi said: "Let's just let it happen. There is no need to rush into cultivation. However, it's hard to say whether the alchemist the Qian family is looking for is still in Yangyan City. Maybe he has been taken to Xiayang City by the Qian family."

"Haha, let's check first before talking." Qin Ming said.

………

Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, Quchi Pool.

A middle-aged woman wrapped in fiery red clothes, covered with light-colored gauze and wearing a golden phoenix hairpin sat leisurely in the Wenshui Pavilion on the meandering pool.

Next to the middle-aged woman, a middle-aged man in a golden robe said respectfully: "President, the mysterious seller who swept away all the materials for the Void Pill in Xia Yang City some time ago is the Qian family."

"The Qian family? They clearly know that our chamber of commerce has a large demand for alchemy materials. By doing this, have we offended them in some way?" The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Probably not. The acquisition of materials was carried out in secret. I don't know where something went wrong and the news was leaked. After my subordinates investigated, I heard that the Qian family in Yangyan City found a high-level alchemist who could use the Into the Void Pill.

The success rate of three-grain quality has been increased to 30%." The middle-aged man replied.

"Thirty percent? Could it be that old man named Tang from Xia Quecheng?" the middle-aged woman murmured, and then shook her head, "No, he can't work for the Qian family for several years. What do Chu Yuan and Mu Yi have to do?

action?"

"Chu Yuan has met Empress Xia Yuantian, and Xia Yuantian should have arranged for people to investigate in Yangyan City. Mu Yi has also met Qin Ming, the young patriarch of the Qin family. The Qin family may have also arranged for people from Xingcheng to go to Yangyan City." Middle-aged man

replied.

The middle-aged woman said: "In order to open up the Yangyan City market, the Chamber of Commerce valued the potential of the Jiang family, so they did not open a branch there. We also promoted Jiang Yuanhan to the position of the head of the Jiang family, and nothing has gone wrong for decades.

, is completely devoted to the Chamber of Commerce.

"Hua Xuan, please immediately send a message to Jiang Yuanhan and ask him to investigate clearly."

"Yes, President."

The middle-aged man bowed and exited Wenshui Pavilion.

The middle-aged woman in the pavilion is Wan Xianyun, the president of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, one of the four king-level alchemists in the Great Xia Dynasty, and a strong Nirvana realm.

Although Wan Xianyun, Chu Yuan and Mu Yi were both king-level alchemists of the Great Xia Dynasty, their alchemy skills were weaker than those of the other two.

The middle-aged man beside her before was her right-hand man, Hua Xuan, the general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, with a perfect Yuan Dan realm.

The Qian family's purchase of materials for refining Xudan in Xia Yang City was too big. It was only a matter of time before the news leaked and people knew the source of the demand.

The Qian family in the royal capital didn't quite believe that a branch family could recruit such a big shot.

But the Qian family is a businessman. If they can really get so many pills and use them to leverage other interests, they can take a gamble.

When Qian Yunqiu got ten three-marked Void Pills, the Qian family felt that they had made the right bet.

In order to ensure that the alchemist would not be snatched away by other forces, the Qian family of the royal capital asked the branch family to release the news that the alchemist had been arranged to go to Xia Yang City.

………

Time flew by, and nearly ten months passed quickly.

These days, Li Yuan and Li Yuan have never appeared in Yangyan City, and they have also caused a lot of disturbances in the Ma family.

Otherwise, they had arranged many strong men to monitor around the Li family, otherwise they would definitely think that the two of them had escaped. They could only explain the disappearance of Li and Yuan by improving their cultivation in seclusion.

The Li family, which only had one Yuan Dan realm powerhouse in charge, did not mention much about the contractual duel, as if the duel did not exist from beginning to end.

But the Ma family regarded this duel as very important, and made it known throughout the city. They wanted to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, to consolidate their position, and at the same time bring shame to Snow Flame Rock City and the Rock Mine Camp.

With the help of the great divine object of the Qiankun Cauldron, Li Yuan refined a thousand materials into the Void Pills in less than half a year, and only more than thirty of them were not of the third pattern quality.

His alchemy skills have been further improved, and his soul power has reached the perfection of the King Realm. He can feel the presence of the powerful Yuan Dan Realm, which makes him breath a sigh of relief.

Not long after, another piece of good news came.

The spirit is awakened.

However, you still need to sleep for more than eight hours a day.

As time goes by, the duration of sleep will gradually shorten.

Li Yuan already felt very relieved. As long as he didn't fall asleep at the critical moment, ordinary dangers could be dealt with with his current detection ability.

The Qian family was promised the Into the Void Pills, and delivered nearly 300 of them, including 200 of the Three Patterns, and the rest were of other qualities.

As for the remaining pills, Li Yuan left Yangyan City because his master had important matters and did not give them to the Qian family.

However, he made a promise that within one year, the master would arrange for someone to send five hundred three-line Void Pills to them, and then they would all be given to the Qian family.

The main purpose of this is to let the Qian family check and balance the Ma family and act as a protective umbrella for the Li family.

After all, facing a strong person in the Yuan Dan realm, the spirit cannot play any role.

The remaining time was spent in seclusion, breaking through in cultivation, and facing the Ma family's contractual duel.

………

The door of the Li family's mansion is closed tightly.

There were more than a dozen figures sitting in the meeting hall. Except for Li Yuan, Li Yunqing and Li Yaolong, all the elders were present.

Everyone looked at Li Yuan with solemn expressions.

Li Yuan rubbed his chin, glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally cast his gaze on Li Qingni, asking softly: "Auntie, how is the transfer of the clan members going?"

"Our talented younger members of the Li family and most of the clan members have moved to Yanyan City under the cover of the Qian family. Now, except for those of us who are under special surveillance by the Ma family, less than 30% of the clan members who remain in the city are less than 30%." Li Qingni

responded.

"That's good." Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Li Yaolong, "Father, after this showdown, no matter who wins or loses, the whole family will have to leave Yangyan City."

"What? Go back to Malan City?"

"Do we have to go to Flame Rock City?"

"But we finally managed to get some small industries in Yangyan City."

…

The elders talked about it, but they didn't dare to say anything to Li Yuan, after all, the latter's cultivation level was higher than them.

Li Yuan motioned for everyone to be quiet, then he took out a scroll and placed it on the table with a flick of his finger, and said in a deep voice: "I have arranged the place to stand, and the local records are in this scroll. A life-and-death contract showdown with the Ma family

While this is going on, everyone evacuates.

"When you get to the place, just follow the instructions on the scroll. If you need anything, you can ask the Lord of Yanyan City for help. They owe me some favors. Or ask the Qian family for help, but the affairs here must not be known to outsiders."

Hearing this, everyone looked worried.

"Don't worry, everyone, I can guarantee that as long as the Li family develops slowly here, there will definitely be no shortage of cultivation resources in the future. In twenty years, everyone here will enter the Yuandan realm. As for the Nirvana realm, it depends on fate.

"Li Yuan said seriously.

After hearing this, everyone was even more embarrassed, thinking that there was something wrong with Li Yuan's mind.

Li Yaolong put away the scroll without giving an explanation. After all, the matter was of great importance, so he talked about the showdown three days later.

"Yuan'er, according to the news from the Qian family, Ma Jianyang was in seclusion for nine months, and last month he broke through to the Void Realm. A lot of money was spent on him for this duel.

"The Ma family has always been domineering, and it seems they really want to take your and Qing'er's lives. When the time comes, I don't know what means they will use against the Li family.

"You have just broken through to the middle stage of the Tuxu Realm, and Qing'er is only at the peak of the middle stage of the Tuxu Realm. There is no certainty in this duel. I'm going to ask the Qian family for help. There must be a way out of the city. We can keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood.

There are still three days left before the showdown, so we should be able to make it in time."

After making an appointment with the Ma family for a duel, Li Yuan spent nearly half a year refining elixirs in a secret room. In the next few months, he practiced in seclusion and entered the middle stage of the Void Realm.

After all, the Qian family has to give something in order to be able to talk, and it is impossible to help in vain.

But it was impossible to admit defeat in this duel, as life was at stake, so Li Yunqing chose to retreat from the beginning, and his cultivation level improved a lot.

Li Yuan pursed his lips and said calmly: "Father, don't worry, Ma Jianyang's strength is average and he does not have Yuan bones in his body, and it is impossible for the Ma family to hand over the highest level skills to this person. After all, his talent is average. Even if he is

There is nothing to be afraid of when you are in the perfect state of treading the void.

"As for the so-called number one among the younger generation of the Ma family, he is at the middle stage of the Tapping Realm just like us. Even if he reaches the peak level, he is definitely no match for my little aunt and I. In this duel, we have a very good chance of winning.

Big. This matter has spread in Yangyan City, and it is impossible to escape."

"Father, don't worry. Xiao Yuanzi and I are both confident that we can win the duel. The grudge between us and the Ma family is unlikely to be resolved." Li Yunqing continued.

The two of them had a decisive attitude, and Li Yaolong and others looked at each other in confusion.

The hall fell into silence.
