For several days, Lu Chen didn't go out. He kept hiding in his residence, tinkering with various elixirs.
During this period, I also practiced Zhantian twice.
Every time he slashed with a knife, he was almost exhausted to death. He also took a lot of the best spiritual energy pills, and only a hundred were left.
He felt terribly distressed. The main material for the best spiritual energy pill was in short supply. Where could he get the spiritual energy stone?
If you take one and lose one, there is no way to replenish it.
Of course, the more you practice it twice, the more proficient you will be, and you will also have a certain grasp of Zhan Tian.
Now, the power of cutting out has been greatly improved, and the power is even greater.
Until one day, Chen Yuanliang's laughter came from outside.
"Hahaha, young master, I finally made the best elixir!"
Lu Chen opened the door and saw Chen Yuanliang carrying an alchemy furnace with a proud face and his mouth was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"What fun do you have? You have only succeeded in practicing until now. What fun is there?"
Lu Chen looked at Chen Yuanliang with disdain. The furnace sealing method he taught was indeed feasible, but this guy's alchemy talent was not good. Otherwise, he would have succeeded long ago if he taught him step by step.
"Master, look, I succeeded in five at once!"
Chen Yuanliang smiled and opened the furnace lid. There were nine spiritual elixirs inside, five of which were top grade, two which were top grade, and two which were medium grade.
This result, for Chen Yuanliang, is already beyond the limit.
"It's really good. You're just lucky."
Lu Chen nodded, affirming Chen Yuanliang's alchemy skills, but also affirming Chen Yuanliang's luck.
If an alchemist without soul fire uses real fire to refine a third-level top-grade elixir, the failure rate is naturally very high. Even if he succeeds, he will only be able to refine one.
Chen Yuanliang succeeded in five coins at once. Was it mostly luck, or something else?
"What the young master is saying is that I am really lucky. Look at my pill robe."
Chen Yuanliang still had a smile on his face, and he didn't mind Lu Chen's blow at all. He straightened his chest and pointed at his alchemy robe for Lu Chen to see.
"Oh, you've been promoted."
Only then did Lu Chen notice that Chen Yuanliang's elixir robe had an extra red line, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Chen Yuanliang's alchemy robe has four red lines in total, representing the fourth-level alchemy master!
The alchemy robe is a magical robe made of special materials that can show the owner's alchemy status.
Chen Yuanliang made a breakthrough in his alchemy attainments. When he advanced to the first level, his alchemy robe automatically added an alchemy pattern, synchronizing with the master's level.
"Thank you young master for your tireless guidance, otherwise I would not have been able to advance to the fourth level within seven days."
Chen Yuanliang bowed excitedly, with endless gratitude to Lu Chen. If it weren't for Lu Chen's support, he would still be managing the small alchemy hall in Shuangmu City, and he would still be the first-level low-level alchemist.
The fourth-level alchemist is an intermediate level, and his alchemy skills are improving rapidly.
"Seven days? By the way, how many days are left before the bet?"
Lu Chen then remembered the seven-day bet with Lai Guang.
"Today is the seventh day."
"Quick, go sharpen the knife."
"What are you sharpening your knife for?"
"Cut the egg!"
"Yes, yes, let's grind it now."
Outside Feixia Gate, a large group of people came.
Lai Guang came, and so did Wu Qugong and Sha Haifei.
The top management of Feixiamen also came out to prevent Laiguang from being kicked out.
The relationship between Feixia Clan and Lai Guang is so bad, and Lai Guang has the support of Ziyun Clan and Suisha Clan, so there is no guarantee that Lai Guang will not take the opportunity to launch an attack.
Miao Yan did not expel Lai Xiang, but still kept Lai Xiang in the door. In fact, she was asking Lai Guang to throw a rat-proof weapon.
Lai Guang was also extremely depressed. He sent people to notify Lai Xiang several times and told him to withdraw from Feixiamen.
Unexpectedly, Lai Xiang refused to leave even if he died, saying that he had occupied a good position and was waiting for the underground dragon vein to awaken.
Underground dragon vein?
Is it that easy to wake up?
Among the ninety-nine cities in Dengzhou, only Dengzhou City has one. The state's main palace was built on that dragon vein and remains guarded to this day.
If Feixiamen really had a dragon vein to awaken, it would have shocked Dengzhou. How could he, Lai Guang, not know about it?
Lai Guang had a doubt. Did the Feixia Sect cover things up so tightly that outsiders didn't even know about it?
He told the state leader the news, and the state leader was also shocked, but still dubious.
"Where's Lu Chen, don't you dare to come out?"
Lai Guang looked left and right but couldn't see Lu Chen, so he asked Miao Yan.
"Someone has gone to notify him. He will be here soon. The grand master will wait a moment."
Miao Yan responded calmly, and then whispered to Pan Qingyan and other elders, "I saw Master Chen yesterday. He is still at the third level. Lu Chen has not created a miracle, so he will lose. But Lu Chen is the person designated by the Xuantian Sect, and it is of great importance to us.
Feixiamen will ensure that he is not harmed."
"Master, are you trying to default on your debt? If so, you absolutely cannot do it."
"Yes, admitting defeat will remain unchanged forever. If we help Lu Chen default on his debt, we will definitely be ridiculed by the world. How will Feixia Clan gain a foothold in martial arts in the future?"
"This bet was brought about by Lu Chen on his own initiative. He was just seeking his own death, but he asked us to pay for it. It's really unreasonable."
"One person does the work and one person is responsible. Lu Chen will be responsible for whatever trouble Lu Chen makes. If he loses, he loses. He can cut whatever needs to be cut. He won't die if he cuts it. Why should we care about him?"
Many elders expressed their dissatisfaction and did not agree to help Lu Chen.
Miao Yan looked at the indignant elders and completely lost her temper.
A few days ago, these old guys were chasing after Lu Chen to please them, but now things have changed drastically.
In the final analysis, it is profit that is at work.
They didn't get any benefit from Lu Chen, and they didn't even get a top-quality elixir. They were all about to become resentful wives.
"In the Great Alchemy Hall, Ziyun Sect and Shasha Sect have joined forces to come to the door. They bully me, Feixia Sect, too much. I can't swallow this breath anymore."
Pan Qingyan spoke in a cold tone, "When Lu Chen loses later, I will protect Lu Chen. I will teach Lu Chen to default on his debts. If anyone laughs at him, then just laugh at me, Pan Qingyan."
"Everyone, please don't forget that our Feixia Sect lacks many resources and is difficult to develop. And our breakthrough lies in Lu Chen. Once he enters the Xuantian Sect, our dilemma will be solved."
Elder Fang also spoke up, rarely defending Lu Chen, "So, Lu Chen cannot be harmed in any way. I will come forward later to support Lu Chen. At worst, we will have another fight with Wu Qugong and the others. With the sect master here, what should we be afraid of?"
"
The two elders of Feixia Sect supported Miao Yan's decision, and the other elders had nothing to say. If the other party wants to start a war later, then they will start a war.
However, the elders looked at Elder Fang with more or less contempt.
Elder Fang disagreed, holding his head high and ignoring all contempt.
"Hey, Elder Fang is actually willing to fight to the death for a young disciple like me. Has the sun risen from the west?"
A mocking voice sounded.
Lu Chen walked out of the crowd, held his chin, and came to Elder Fang with a puzzled look on his face.
Lu Chen couldn't figure it out. Elder Fang was petty and had always held a grudge against him. As long as something happened to him, it would be his conscience not to add insult to injury to him. How could he help him?
"Oh, Lu Chen, look at what you said, why does the sun come out from the west? You really don't understand me."
Elder Fang was not angry, but instead straightened his face and said seriously, "I am the chief elder of the inner sect, and it is a matter of law to protect the inner sect disciples. Otherwise, I would be derelict in my duty."
Lu Chen was a little confused.
what's the situation?
Elder Fang took the wrong medicine?
Or am I still asleep?
Looking around, Lu Chen was a little surprised to find that Zhang Chengbin was also there.
As an outer disciple, you are not qualified to follow the elders unless...
"what happened?"
Lu Chen asked in a low voice.
"I followed Elder Fang and have already entered the inner gate."
Zhang Chengbin responded quickly with a look of joy on his face.
