Time passed, and after several rounds of assessments, the successor to the Eighth Elder was finally decided.

Not surprisingly, King Baili became the new eighth elder.

Alchemy masters from the Tree Realm came to Jishui City one after another. Including Ning Fan, a total of 11 rank-6 alchemy masters came to Jishui this time.

Ning Fan stayed at home, busy refining anti-epileptic pills, and seemed indifferent to everything happening in the outside world.

Secretly, he used the Sky-Peeping Rain technique several times to secretly spy on the movements of the entire Makino Kingdom.

Makino Country, Jishui City...everything looks calm.

When the three top-rank alchemists of the sixth rank in the Tree Realm all arrived in Jishui City, Ning Fan received the invitation from the Bamboo Palace.

The person who came to deliver the invitation was a young man with blue eyes in the middle stage of becoming a god, and the young master of the Xingbai clan.

He looked at Ning Fan with a look that was full of admiration and awe... He was also an alchemist.

"This junior, under the orders of the Third Elder, is here to invite Senior Lu to attend tonight's banquet in the Bamboo Hall. Senior will know the specific details once he sees the invitation."

Ning Fan took the invitation and glanced at it.

Tonight, the Bamboo Palace will host a banquet in the Bamboo Palace to entertain the 11 sixth-level alchemists who came to Jishui City.

Tomorrow, the Bamboo Emperor will take 11 sixth-level alchemists and some fifth-level alchemists to the place where Zu Zhu is located to officially diagnose Zu Zhu.

"Besides me and the 11 sixth-level alchemy masters, who will be coming to this palace banquet?" Ning Fan asked.

"Returning to the seniors, this palace banquet will be hosted by the Bamboo Emperor himself. All the seven Suixu Elders will attend, and even the new Eighth Elder will attend. In addition to the seniors and other sixth-level alchemists, the Bamboo Emperor also invited some void refining forces

Attend the palace banquet, such as the Fusang clan, Nanmu clan..."

"Okay, I understand, please step back." Ning Fan nodded.

"Yes, I will take my leave now, junior." The young man bowed respectfully and left in the form of light.

The dusk is getting darker, and the night is coming.

Ning Fan left the Golden Palace, walked on Jishui Long Street, and walked slowly towards the Bamboo Palace.

During this period, he would sometimes feel uneasy in his heart, as if some danger was approaching.

He doesn't like to get involved in irrelevant dangers, but in order to obtain the Tree Ancestral Fruit, he has to stay in the East Tree Sea...

While Ning Fan was thinking, bloodthirsty tiger roars suddenly came from the direction behind him.

But he saw a tree cart pulled by four wild beasts called blood tigers, approaching from afar.

This tree cart has the emblem of the Baili clan painted on it. The drivers are four Baili Qixu. The person sitting in the cart is none other than King Baili, who has just been promoted to the eighth elder of the Bamboo Palace!

Upon seeing this bloody tiger tree chariot, the monks on the long street retreated away.

The tree cart was speeding along, and when it reached Ning Fan's side, it suddenly stopped.

King Baili walked out of the cart with cold eyes and said nothing. He waved his sleeves violently, and countless blood shot out from his sleeves, forming a jade post and throwing it to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan took the jade post and glanced at it.

This is the fourth battle card given to him by King Baili!

This time the war invitation was sent by King Baili himself.

This time, the battle post was no longer written with a single word "death", but with three words.

‘Tomorrow, die!’

King Baili's eyes contained boundless murderous intent, and it seemed that he would never give up until he killed Ning Fan!

But in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a hint of pain, a hint of pleading, a hint of reminder... That was his true expression.

From beginning to end, King Baili didn't say a word. After sending out the fourth battle card, he got back on the tree cart and hurried away towards the Bamboo Palace.

The nearby monks who did not know the truth noticed that King Baili looked at Ning Fan with murderous eyes, and they all secretly guessed that King Baili and Ning Fan had something to do with each other.

Ning Fan stood on the long street, holding the fourth battle post, showing a look of deep thought.

This battle post only has three words, but it contains an important message.

Tomorrow!

Ning Fan's mind was racing. Will the Baili clan kill him tomorrow?

But if the Baili tribe really wanted to kill him, why did they specify the date so that he could prepare in advance?

"Tomorrow, more killers from the Baili tribe will come to kill me...Does King Baili want me to be prepared and kill all the Baili killers?"

"His war post is not so much a show of murderous intent as a reminder to me... What is his intention in doing this..."

"Tomorrow, the Bamboo Emperor will take me and the sixth-level alchemy masters into the Xiaoqian Forbidden Area where Zu Zhu is located to diagnose Zu Zhu's illness. Could it be that the Baili Clan will attack me there..."

"No matter what, you must be careful tomorrow!"

Ning Fan walked all the way to the Bamboo Palace, which was a palace built of golden bamboo.

Outside the palace, when the guards saw Ning Fan coming with an invitation, they immediately welcomed him into the palace to sit down at the table.

In the palace, rows of palace maids dressed in gauze were dancing gracefully, and the fragrance filled the crowd.

In the main hall, the Bamboo Emperor occupies the chief position, and below him are the seats of 11 sixth-level alchemists, and below that are the seats of Elder Suixu of the Bamboo Palace, and after that are the seats of other alchemy forces and fifth-level alchemists.

.

With this arrangement, we can naturally see how much the Bamboo Emperor attaches great importance to the healing of Zu Bamboo.

Ning Fan was not the first to arrive as a sixth-level alchemist, nor was he the last.

Before him, there were already 7 sixth-level alchemy masters taking the seat, including 3 sixth-level senior alchemy masters and 4 sixth-level middle and lower-level alchemy masters.

The four lower-level alchemists who were in the sixth rank were very polite to Ning Fan. When they saw Ning Fan take the seat, they immediately stood up and saluted with clasped fists.

The three rank six advanced alchemists looked at Ning Fan with different expressions.

Among the three people, one came from the North Sea of ​​Trees and was the tree owner of the Sea of ​​Cangsheng Trees. He looked at Ning Fan with a bit of arrogance and disdain.

This person has a very high self-esteem. As the number one alchemist in Beishuhai, his eyes are higher than his head. He would not even put Guiyuan Taixu in his eyes. Even alchemists of the same level, he looks down on anyone.

He looked down on Ning Fan and did not want to talk to Ning Fan for even a moment. After looking at Ning Fan slightly, he smiled disdainfully, stared blankly, and fell asleep.

Another rank-6 advanced alchemist comes from Dong Shuhai and is the chief alchemist of Teng Palace. His name is Zhu Hong.

This man looked at Ning Fan with a hint of hostility. Needless to say, the reason was because Ning Fan had offended Emperor Teng.

The last person came from Nan Shuhai, his name was Sun Yu, and he was the chief alchemist of the Snow Willow Demon Palace. This person had a kind face, and he looked at Ning Fan with a smile.

After realizing that Ning Fan's medicine soul was one point better than his, Sun Yu immediately cupped his fists and said politely,

"Lu Daoyou's powerful medicinal soul is worthy of being someone who can shatter six-color ancient monuments with the power of medicinal soul."

"Fellow Daoist Sun is joking."

Ning Fan sat next to Sun Yu, smiled politely at the latter, and returned the favor with cupped fists.

He had already figured out the details of the Sixth Level Alchemist of the Tree Realm before he came to the banquet. The Cangsheng Tree Master and Zhu Hong didn't want to see him, so he naturally ignored them.

Sun Yu was polite to him, and he was polite in return.

The two exchanged cups and cups and exchanged their own alchemy skills.

The characteristic of Ning Fan's alchemy is that he combines the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and covers a wide range of topics.

The alchemy Sun Yu learned was the orthodox "Wood Burning Dao" alchemy in the tree world. Although he did not have a wide range of knowledge, he studied the wood burning Dao alchemy very deeply.

The two chatted for a while, and they had quite a common language, and gradually their exchanges became deeper and deeper.

Sun Yu thought about something and stopped talking, but finally decided to remind Ning Fan and asked through a message.

"I dare to ask fellow Daoist Lu if he has ever offended Emperor Liu..."

"Emperor Liu?" Ning Fan recalled how he met Liu Haoyue, laughed and shook his head, and replied through a message, "I have not offended him."

"This is strange... Fellow Taoist has never offended Emperor Liu, so why would Emperor Liu give that order..." Sun Yu shook her head in confusion, and then sent a message to Ning Fan to remind,

"Fellow Taoist, please do not come to Nan Shuhai in the near future...Fellow Taoist once angered Emperor Teng, and Emperor Teng was furious and issued a wanted order to arrest fellow Taoist. The order was passed to Emperor Liu, who saw the order.

After laughing three times, he issued an order... Emperor Liu ordered the monks of Liu Palace to closely monitor the movements near the boundary gate. Once he sent the message to fellow practitioners to Nan Shuhai, he would "invite fellow practitioners to Liu Palace to stay for a while."

..."

In the eyes of Sun Yu and other uninformed people, it was a lie that Emperor Liu asked Ning Fan to stay in Liu Palace for a while, but it was true that he captured and imprisoned Ning Fan in Liu Palace.

Naturally, Sun Yu didn't know that Emperor Liu once had a relationship with Ning Fan and admired Ning Fan's profound enlightenment.

After seeing Ning Fan's wanted order, Emperor Liu immediately understood that Ning Fan had sneaked into the Tree Realm from the Rain Realm.

Emperor Liu's order was really just to invite Ning Fan to the Liu Palace for a chat, and there was no malicious intent whatsoever.

"That's it. Thank you Taoist friend for reminding me that Mr. Lu will not go to Nan Shuhai in the near future. But if you Taoist friend returns to Liu Palace, please say hello to Mr. Liu for me. Just say that Mr. Lu is busy with worldly affairs.

, I’m afraid this is a rare opportunity to go to Nan Shuhai and have a drink with him.”

Sun Yu reminded Ning Fan that he had some kindness, and Ning Fan was naturally grateful.

He also pointed out to Sun Yu that he had some friendship with Emperor Liu, and that Emperor Liu's orders were not malicious, but just ordinary goodwill.

Sun Yu was slightly surprised, not expecting that Ning Fan and Liu Huang had some friendship.
