Under the dim sky, brown earth, and a large mountain covered with green plants, it looked particularly abrupt.
This is Cuixia Mountain, the mountain gate of Cuixia Sect.
There are three major aristocratic families and four major sects in Beizhou, and Cuixia Sect is one of them.
On the bluestone steps, Qin Fan followed Lin Ou all the way to the gate of Cuixia Mountain.
A rectangular blue stone slab is engraved with the three simple characters of Cuixia Sect. The fonts are made of iron and painted with silver hooks. They are vigorous and powerful. After reading it, I just feel a majestic energy rushing towards my face.
"I've met the Sixth Elder!"
Seeing Qin Fan and others, two young disciples wearing blue gowns jumped out from behind the stone slab and bowed to Lin Ou.
Lin Ou said "hmm" calmly and asked: "Is the sect leader back?"
A disciple replied respectfully: "I just came back not long ago, and I should be in the main hall at the moment."
"Okay." Lin Ou looked at Qin Fan and said, "It's a coincidence that you are here. The sect leader has been away for seven days and just came back today."
"I'll take you to see him."
"Yes." Qin Fan nodded expressionlessly.
Qin Fan followed Lin Ou through a road paved with bluestone slabs, flanked by some strange rocks and unknown trees.
There is a looming and powerful energy wave hidden in it, and the breath is erratic.
Qin Fan guessed that it should be the mountain protection formation.
The environment of the Cuixia Sect is not very good, and it may be related to the general environment of this world. There is no scene of the cave heaven and paradise of the big cultivation sects in the outside world. As far as the eye can see, it is all brown, exuding a lifeless smell.
Crossing the bluestone road, there is an empty square in front of you.
As soon as Qin Fan and others stepped into the square, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed, bringing up a strong wind.
"Haha, Lao Liu, you are finally back. Since you have been away these past few days, I have developed a new medicine that will definitely surprise you!"
The old man was wearing a black robe, the same style as Lin Ou's, but he was very slovenly. There were stains all over his body, like a beggar. He seemed like he hadn't showered in months, and he still smelled rancid.
Lin Oudao: "Third Elder, I have some business to do right now. I'll check on your new medicine later."
Wang Yu, who was next to him, came over and bowed to the sloppy old man: "Disciple has met the master!"
The sloppy old man waved his hands impatiently: "Forget it, Sixth, what can you do to get down to business? Even if you have something to do, why don't you just let the little brats under you handle it? There's no need for you to do it yourself. Isn't that just for accepting disciples?
Are you here to be used as a servant? Otherwise, why would you want to take on a disciple?"
The third elder had a matter-of-fact expression, which made Wang Yu on the sidelines dumbfounded.
Lin Ou glanced at Qin Fan and said: "Third Elder, I want to take Mr. Qin to see the sect master, so we should talk about the new medicine later!"
The third elder glanced at Qin Fan, frowned and said: "What is an ordinary little kid doing seeing the sect leader? If he is here to become a disciple, I will accept him!"
"Come on, come and see my new medicine!"
The third elder said and went to pull the sixth elder.
Lin Ou smiled bitterly and said: "Third Elder, he is not an ordinary person. He couldn't even resist a move from me. You made a mistake this time."
The third elder's eyes widened, his beard stood tall, and he looked at Qin Fan suspiciously: "Just him? You can't stop him?"
"Lao Liu, who are you lying to? How old is he? Come with me quickly, don't make excuses!"
Wang Yu said respectfully from the side: "Master, what the Sixth Elder said is true!"
The third elder was doubtful and looked at Qin Fan and asked: "Boy, tell the truth, are you here to become a disciple?"
"If you say yes, I will accept you immediately. If you go to the sect master, he may not be willing to accept you."
Qin Fan chuckled and said, "If you want to take me in, I'm afraid you're not qualified enough."
The third elder was immediately furious: "Boy, what a loud tone! This old man from the Cuixia Sect is second to none in alchemy, and no one dares to claim to be the first!"
"Usually, I wouldn't accept those people who beg grandpa and grandma, and send gifts to their doorsteps. Today, if I hadn't been waiting to get Lao Liu to see my new medicine, I wouldn't have accepted you!"
Qin Fan crossed his arms and said with a playful smile: "Really? It just so happens that I also know some alchemy skills, how about we compete?"
Lin Ou looked at Qin Fan in surprise: "Master Qin, don't you want to see the sect leader?"
Qin Fan said: "It doesn't hurt to see you later."
Lin Ou felt that Qin Fan didn't seem like someone who liked to make extraneous matters. He must have some purpose in competing with the third elder on alchemy.
Although he didn't think Qin Fan's alchemy skills could surpass those of the Third Elder, he instinctively hoped that the Third Elder would not agree.
However, with the temper of the third elder, how could he endure the provocation of others in alchemy?
Then he shouted loudly: "Good boy, looking at the entire Beizhou, there are only a handful of people who dare to challenge me in alchemy!"
"Even people from the three major families are not as arrogant as you!"
"I'll compete with you! Tell me, how do you want to compete?"
Qin Fan smiled, like a little fox: "Since it's a competition, there must be some luck. If I win, how about you give me the stone on your body?"
Qin Fan's eyes were fixed on the triangular golden stone in the third elder's hand.
Lin Ou suddenly frowned and thought: So this is his purpose!
He followed Qin Fan's gaze and looked at the triangular-shaped stone in the third elder's hand, and asked curiously: "Third elder, what kind of stone is this?"
The third elder was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Haha, good boy, it turns out you are trying to get rid of my red gold stone!"
"Okay! Although red gold stone is of great use to me, no one can beat me in alchemy!"
"I'll bet with you!"
"But what will you give me if you lose?"
Qin Fan's eyes were full of smiles. This was not a red gold stone, but a piece of black fire gold essence!
This mysterious fire gold essence is also called sword gallbladder and is the core material for making flying swords.
Of course, Xuanhuo Jinjing can not only make flying swords, but can also become the main material of many magical weapons.
When he first saw the third elder, Qin Fan already noticed the mysterious fire gold essence in his hand, otherwise he would not waste time competing with the third elder in alchemy skills.
Qin Fan stretched out his hand, and a crystal clear elixir appeared in his palm like a magic trick.
"The best spiritual elixir!" The third elder and the sixth elder exclaimed at the same time!
The reaction of the two people was not what Qin Fan expected. The alchemy skills of Sin Earth World were only a little higher than those of Earth Star.
Although elixirs of the level of top-quality elixirs are nothing in the eyes of the real alchemy masters in the Immortal Realm, in the eyes of the alchemists in this world, they are definitely kings.
After being shocked, the third elder shook his head: "Although this top-grade elixir of yours is precious, it is only a one-time consumable. Once you eat it, it will be gone."
"But my red gold stone can be used in many ways. If you bet on this elixir, I will suffer a loss."
Lin Ou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the third elder was not carried away by the best elixir and knew how to bargain.
Qin Fan smiled and said: "I am not betting with you on this elixir, but on the recipe of this elixir."
