"Brother Chen, you are so handsome." Mu Gao was beaming as he walked out of the Shenli Palace. Apparently he was also sincerely happy for Jiang Chen, the champion of the trial.
Jiang Chen was calm. With his foundation in alchemy, it was only natural for him to win the trial championship.
"Huh, getting fat first doesn't count, but getting fat later makes you lose weight. What's the point of winning the trial? In the Supreme Cave, you have to rely on real talent and learning in the finals. What's the point of being in the limelight in the trial?"
Behind him, a cold and stern voice came, and it was Linghu Feng's annoying voice again.
Mu Gaoqi sneered: "Tch, Linghu Feng, you are capable, why don't you win the trial championship and see? Don't tell me you are jealous?"
Linghu Feng stared at Mu Gaoqi with a gloomy look: "Well, you Mu Gaoqi, I can't tell, but you have lost your temper. Believe it or not, I will make it impossible for you to survive in Danxia Valley?"
When Jiang Chen heard this, without waiting for Mu Gaoqi to speak, he waved his hand to stop Mu Gaoqi and sneered, "I really don't believe this."
"Jiang Chen, don't be arrogant. I know there are people behind you, but you are a country boy and want to run wild in Dangan Palace. You are a little too young."
To Jiang Chen, Linghu Feng did not dare to say anything that would make it difficult for him to survive.
He could only glare at Mu Gaoqi with a look of "just wait".
Mu Gaoqi was not the same Mu Gaoqi he was back then, and he was not intimidated by Linghufeng's momentum. He just shrugged with a sneer and dismissed Linghufeng's threat.
At this time, some other core disciples also came out, and Jiang Chen did not want to be as embarrassed as Ling Hufeng, and drifted away with Mu Gaoqi.
Linghu Feng looked at the backs of Jiang Chen and Mu Gaoqi and cursed: "A weakling and a country boy is really a disgrace to our Danqian Palace."
Suddenly a person walked up from the side and smiled leisurely: "Linghu, since you look down on them so much, why are you so angry with them? I think you feel a little guilty?"
"Ouyang Chao, what do you mean?" Ouyang Chao said sarcastically when he saw that the person coming was Ouyang Chao, the most popular Dan Dou in the Supreme Cave.
Ouyang Chao said calmly: "I don't mean anything, I mean, since you feel guilty, just quit as soon as possible
"Why am I guilty of talking nonsense? I am an orthodox member of the Herbology Hall. How can I be compared to that country man? How can I be compared to a weakling like Mu Gaoqi?"
"Really? I don't know about Mu Gaoqi, but I think it is very likely that Jiang Chen will occupy a supreme cave." Ouyang Chao said in a leisurely tone.
Linghu Feng was even more displeased: "Humph, you are saying this as if he is not your competitor. Aren't you afraid that he will impact your position?"
Ouyang Chao shrugged: "I don't care. If he is really better than me, the worst thing is that I will compete for the second spot. If there are two people who are worse than me, and I, Ouyang Chao, am not as good as them, I will be convinced and keep trying."
Linghu Feng was very angry. He knew that Ouyang Chao was making sarcastic remarks. Even if Jiang Chen was stronger than him, he could still compete for another cave.
But in this case, Linghu Feng would have nothing to do with him.
Linghufeng's eyes flickered and stopped at a young girl. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Junior sister Ling, Jiang Chen is so arrogant. He is obviously trying to slap you and me in the face. He is not even among the top five favorites, but he is Being so forceful is clearly a demonstration against you and me."
The girl has a petite figure, especially a baby-fat face, which makes her look cute and endearing. If you don’t look at the giant breasts that cannot be concealed under the clothes of her core disciples, just look at her face, I am afraid that everyone will I couldn't guess that this girl was already eighteen or nineteen years old.
This girl is one of the popular candidates for this Dan Dou, Ling Huier.
Among the alchemists of Danxia Valley, she is very famous, not only because of her talent in alchemy, but also because of her childlike appearance.
Coupled with the pair of giant chest weapons, many male disciples in Danxia Valley coveted Ling Hui'er.
"Senior Brother Linghu, Hui'er has no holiday with Senior Brother Jiang Chen, so he has no reason to demonstrate against me." Ling Hui'er made a face and walked away with a smile on her face.
Obviously, Ling Hui'er was not angered by Ling Hufeng's clumsy provocation.
Linghufeng looked at the smiles on other people's faces, and it was obvious that they all contained a bit of ridicule. In an instant, he became a laughing stock.
"Gao Qi, please come to my cave to have a rest tonight. I have some experience in alchemy, and I would like to share it with you."
Mu Gaoqi was overjoyed when he heard this. He had already treated Jiang Chen like a god. When Jiang Chen invited him to stay in his cave, he was very excited. He knew that Jiang Chen looked up to him.
"Okay, that's really what you want." Mu Gaoqi was actually worried that if Ling Hufeng did something bad at night, disturbed his rest, or used other means to deal with him, it would not be a good thing for him.
Although the Lord of Danchi Palace has clearly stated that whoever cheats will be punished.
But there are some things that we still have to guard against.
Returning to Jiang Chen's cave, Jiang Chen settled down for a while. Anyway, Mu Gaoqi has been a frequent visitor to Jiang Chen's cave for a long time, so his appearance will not surprise anyone.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was also shocked when he saw Magatama and the others.
In just a few months, it seems that Brother Chen's followers have greatly increased in strength.
Jiang Chen asked Mu Gaoqi to come to his cave, obviously intending to teach Mu Gaoqi something. Although Mu Gaoqi was already very talented in alchemy, some theoretical things were still not solid enough after all.
Mu Gaoqi's alchemy talent is high, and his talent for the wood spirit attribute is higher than his alchemy ability. In theory, his background in many aspects is not as good as Ouyang Chao and Linghu Feng, who are direct descendants of Bencaotang.
Jiang Chen wants to strengthen Mu Gaoqi in this aspect tonight.
Although the theory of elixirs is vast, some basic things are still accessible.
Mu Gaoqi felt strange at first, but as he listened, he was shocked. He knew that he was lucky.
Many of the things Jiang Chen taught him were not available even in the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Danqian Palace, especially those basic theories, which were explained in simple terms, with that kind of artistic conception and that kind of height, which completely broke Mu Gaoqi's usual
cognitive limits.
The more the two of them chatted, the more they became more and more interested. Before they knew it, it was getting dark and night was coming. Mu Gaoqi was also unaware of it and was intoxicated.
Suddenly, someone came to visit outside the cave.
"Elder Linghu?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised. The person who came to visit turned out to be Linghu Xian, the elder of Herbal Medicine Hall.
This Linghu Xian had a fair face and a kind smile. However, Jiang Chen did not relax his guard at all. At this time, Linghu Xian's visit would definitely not be a good thing.
Especially when Linghu Xian came to recruit Jiang Chen last time and asked Jiang Chen to be his assistant, but Jiang Chen refused, it was obvious that the two sides had become enemies.
Moreover, he had two conflicts with Linghu Feng today. Linghu Xian is Linghu Feng’s grandfather, so there is no way he could turn a blind eye.
"Haha, why, don't you welcome me to come in and sit down?" Linghu Xian said with a smile.
Jiang Chen frowned: "Tomorrow is the decisive battle for the cave. We are preparing intensively for the battle. I wonder what Elder Linghu has to do?"
Linghu Xian's smile remained unchanged: "Go in and talk, go in and talk."
Jiang Chen was about to refuse with a dark face, but Linghu Xian smiled lazily and said: "Jiang Chen, last time I came here, I was rejected by you. This time when I come here, won't you let me in? In that case, I will stand in front of your door all night."
Seeing how lazy this old man was, Jiang Chen snorted softly. He didn't know what kind of medicine this old ghost was selling in his gourd. However, Linghu Xian was so old that he didn't hesitate to pretend to be crazy, so he had no choice but to let him in.
After entering the cave and sitting down, Linghu Xian smiled and said: "Little friend Jiang Chen, I still admire you very much. This time, I plan to apply to Elder Yun Nie to invite you to be a deacon in the Herbal Hall. How about it? With the salary of a deacon and the salary of your core disciple, you can receive double salary, which is very cost-effective.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "I have only been in Danqian Palace for a short time. I am afraid that Jiang will not be able to accept Elder Linghu's kindness for the time being."
Seeing that Jiang Chen refused without even thinking about it, Linghu Xian frowned slightly.
"Jiang Chen, I also have good intentions. Don't always hold prejudices. We can talk about anything."
"Sorry, Elder Linghu, if you are here just for this matter, I think there is no need to continue the conversation. I still have to prepare for war, so I won't stay as a guest."
Jiang Chen waved his hand and issued an order to expel the guests.
Linghu Xian was able to get to this point, and his old face was thicker than the city wall. When he saw Jiang Chen making a farewell gesture, he didn't care and said with a leisurely smile: "Jiang Chen, make a price. As long as you withdraw from the challenge of the Supreme Cave. , as long as you ask for a price, I will give you whatever I can come up with. Moreover, the proposal to join the Materia Medica Hall will still be effective. I know that you are from the Baoshu Sect, and you must be short of resources. I happen to be quite wealthy. Capital. If possible, we can make this deal."
As expected, I came here for the Supreme Cave.
Jiang Chen had a faint smile on his face and looked at Linghu Xian: "First, I am determined to win the Supreme Cave Palace; second, even if I quit, your grandson may not be able to grab the spot."
"Whether you can grab it or not, you don't have to worry about it. As long as you withdraw, our deal will take effect." Linghu Xian is very confident in his grandson. Except for Jiang Chen, Ouyang Chao is more powerful than Linghu Feng. Linghu Xian really wasn't worried about the others.
Jiang Chen smiled leisurely and shook his head gently.
"Elder Linghu, the Lord of Danchi Palace has given you orders not to cheat. Strictly speaking, your lobbying is cheating for Linghufeng, right?"
Linghu Xian's face turned cold: "Jiang Chen, don't say nonsense. I am just out of good intentions and thinking about your future. Isn't it just a supreme cave? It will continue to be opened in the future, and there will be opportunities. As long as you agree, I promise to get you a cave in the Qingtian District. The Qingtian District is second only to the Supreme District. For you, a newcomer from the Baoshu Sect, it won’t be an insult, right?"
Behind the scenes, Linghu Xian still looked down upon Jiang Chen's background.
Jiang Chen laughed loudly: "It's not enough to say anything, Elder Linghu, it's true that I come from the Baoshu Sect, but who told you that I am not worthy of the Supreme District? I respect you as the elder of the Herbal Hall. You don't have enough respect. If you don't leave, I will have to report it to the Lord of Danchi Palace."
Hearing the name of Danchi, Linghu Xian's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up: "Okay, okay, Jiang Chen, you can do it, you are capable. I have been in Danqian Palace for so many years, but you are the first young man who dares to treat me like this. "younger generation"
Jiang Chen frowned, what Linghu Xian meant was to secretly retaliate against the Sixteen Nations Alliance and attack the Baoshu Sect?
(I originally planned to finish it in the afternoon, but I have to treat friends to dinner tonight. There is only one chapter left, so I will write it when I get back. Sorry)
