Lu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this, feeling that the matter was a bit serious.
Everyone looked at the man in gray and their expressions changed;
Because they could tell that the man in gray should be a warrior like a casual cultivator;
Most of the casual cultivators are bold, arrogant, unrestrained, and dare to fight if they disagree with you, regardless of your status;
Moreover, they follow the method of ‘hit if you can, run if you can’t’, so you can’t find them at all.
Especially the casual cultivators with extremely high cultivation levels, all sects are unwilling to offend them;
Because these people have a vicious nature, must retaliate for their dirty deeds, and have weird behavior styles. They can attack juniors regardless of their senior status. This is also a huge headache for various sects.
Therefore, after seeing that the man in gray was a person in the late stage of Tongtian Realm, they all just stood aside and watched without any intention of intervening.
And looking at the situation, the man in gray obviously came here to cause trouble.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Lingxu Valley?"
Dongfang, Bu Tianhong and others had already discovered what was going on here when Lu Chen spoke out, but they didn't expect that the man in gray actually had a cultivation level in the late Tongtian realm.
Even Lingxu Valley has to take this kind of existence seriously;
What's more, Lingxu Valley also wants to promote its strength through today's alchemy competition among outer disciples, but it can't be ruined by others.
"Great Elder?" Bu Tianhong looked at Ling Xudu, who immediately nodded to Wu Huaian.
Wu Huaian, who was sitting still, suddenly stood up, as if a big bird had flown over. He rolled his big hands and grabbed the man in gray with the bamboo hat.
The strong wind swept across, and with a "whoosh", the bamboo hat carried by the man in gray blew away, and he saw an old man with a square face, gray hair, and a blue spot on the left side of his face. He looked even uglier than Lu Chen
a bit.
However, Wu Huaian was surprised when he saw this person, his face turned ugly and he said, "Cheng Bu Qi, so it's you?"
"Cheng Bu Qi? So it's him?"
Hearing this name and seeing the appearance of the man in gray, many people were surprised and suddenly realized it.
It turns out that Cheng Buqi was also a disciple of Lingxu Valley, and he joined the Lingxu Valley together with the current Great Elder Ling Xudu.
But later on, for unknown reasons, Cheng Buqi was expelled from the sect. At that time, this matter was still making a fuss in Zhongzhou for a while.
Because Cheng Buqi was already a sixth-grade alchemist at that time.
The most shocking thing is that Cheng Buqi later joined the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and in just fifty years, he became a ninth-level alchemist, joining the ranks of the masters in the alchemy world of Zhongzhou.
At that time, this became a big joke in Lingxu Valley.
The reason is very simple. Even though Lingxu Valley is the leader in the alchemy world in Zhongzhou and ranks among the top forces in terms of comprehensive strength, it has only a handful of ninth-grade alchemists.
But Lingxu Valley kicked him out of the door, which was simply blind.
Therefore, Lingxu Valley has always avoided mentioning Cheng Buqi.
But what I didn't expect was that Cheng Buqi repeatedly provoked Lingxu Valley, defeated many alchemists, and even competed with Lingxudu.
However, Cheng Buqi lost to Ling Xudu in an alchemy competition a few years ago. Unexpectedly, not so long ago, Cheng Buqi actually appeared at the alchemy competition among the outer disciples of Lingxu Valley today.
I'm afraid there will be a good show today.
And Lu Chen didn't expect that this old guy would have such a great reputation and be a ninth-grade alchemist at the same level as Ling Xu. It was really unexpected.
However, judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was looking for trouble.
Sure enough, Cheng Buqi looked at Wu Huaian coldly, sneered and said, "Why, are you surprised that I'm here?"
"It seems we didn't send you an invitation, right?" Wu Huaian frowned and said.
"Hehe, with my strength, what's the difficulty in getting an invitation?"
Cheng Buqi chuckled and said with a look of disdain on his face: "Besides, who told you to hold this competition with great fanfare this time? Otherwise, how could I come?"
"You are not welcome here, please leave immediately." Wu Huaian's face darkened and he said coldly.
"leave?"
Cheng Buqi sneered twice and said with disdain: "Wu Huaian, you don't have the ability to let me leave."
When Wu Huaian heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes flashed with coldness.
"What, do you want to do something?"
Cheng Buqi looked at Wu Huaian unscrupulously, chuckled, and his voice suddenly became louder, like a loud bell, spreading in all directions, and the whole valley fell into silence.
Seeing this, Wu Huaian showed a warm and angry look, looked at the leaders of various forces around him, and finally gave up his plan to take action.
Cheng Buqi became even more proud when he saw this, and laughed even more when he looked at Wu Huaian.
At this moment, Ling Xudu arrived.
This old man still has a fluttering white beard, fair hair and a childlike appearance, and he has an air of immortality.
"Great Elder, Great Elder."
As he walked along, he was immediately greeted by everyone and got out of the way.
Cheng Buqi couldn't help but snorted coldly when he saw this, as if he was very unhappy.
Ling Xudu looked at him calmly and asked, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Everyone looked at Cheng Buqi, Lu Chen was no exception. He frowned in his heart. He didn't expect that Cheng Buqi was actually from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. If the other party knew his identity, he would probably kill him, right?
However, he doesn't need to worry about this yet, but looks at Cheng Buqi curiously, why did he come to Lingxu Valley?
"You and I will have another competition."
Cheng Buqi faced everyone's gaze, sneered, and looked at Ling Xudu unwilling to be outdone, with a frank attitude.
"You already lost to me last time, so there is no need to compete anymore." Lingxu Gu frowned slightly.
"Humph, I haven't finished speaking yet. Naturally, I am not the candidate for the competition, but a competition between you and my apprentice." Cheng Buqi snorted coldly.
Behind him, the young man in blue saluted Ling Xudu and said, "Junior Li Tiangang has met my senior."
"Li Tiangang? The best alchemist of the young generation in the Loose Cultivator Alliance, turns out to be your disciple. I should have thought of it a long time ago." Ling Xudu Shen Ling said.
"That's right." Cheng Buqi nodded proudly and said, 'Ling Xudu, as long as your disciples can defeat my disciples, then I will never step into the Lingxu Valley again.'
"Do you dare?"
Cheng Buqi stared at Ling Xudu fiercely, his expression seemed a little crazy, he was really unwilling to lose to Ling Xudu many times.
"Hahaha, why don't I dare?"
Ling Xudu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "But in addition to this, we also need to add a little more color."
"What kind of lottery do you want?" Cheng Buqi asked with a frown.
"Do you still have the ethereal stone in your hand?" Ling Xudu asked.
"Void Spirit Stone?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, even Lu Chen was no exception, with a look of shock on his face.
The ethereal stone is a mid-level heaven-level material, but its value is comparable to that of an upper-level heaven-level material, because this object has only one function, which is to use it for teleportation.
As we all know, 'teleportation' is a magical power that only powerful people in the life and death realm have, and it is impossible for warriors in the three-day realm to do it.
However, if you get something, you can teleport.
This thing is the ethereal stone!
It can weaken the repelling power of space against warriors and achieve the effect of teleportation.
Of course, the higher the cultivation level, the faster the teleportation speed;
According to rumors, if a strong person in the late Tongtian realm uses the ethereal stone to teleport, he can achieve at least 50% of the speed of a strong person in the life and death realm.
It can be said that this ethereal stone is something that can save one's life at a critical moment.
However, this object is extremely rare and has not been seen in the world for hundreds of years. I did not expect that Cheng Buqi actually owns this object. This is really surprising.
Cheng Buqi didn't expect Ling Xudu's appetite to be so big. The blue spot on his face twitched hard a few times. He hummed and said, "Okay, I'll bet on the Void Spirit Stone, but what's your bet?"
"Nine-curved spiritual wood." Ling Xudu said.
"What? You actually found this tree?" Cheng Buqi asked in shock, looking at Ling Xudu in doubt.
Ling Xudu snorted coldly, turned his palm, and suddenly a cyan object about an inch long and as thick as his thumb appeared on his hand.
This thing is a bit similar to whip bamboo, with nine sections, no more, no less. The surface is surrounded by blue light, like crystals flowing, and there is a little blue liquid flowing inside, like a spike.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this thing, especially those who practiced wood attribute techniques.
Even Lu Chen showed signs of excitement.
You must know that this nine-bend spiritual wood is a treasure of heaven and earth. It is transformed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It contains the most essence of wood-attribute spiritual power. It is an excellent thing for refining wood-attribute elixirs or practicing wood-attribute exercises.
In the eyes of those wood attribute cultivators, the value of this wood is even higher than that of the ethereal stone.
It was a great chance that Ling Xudu could find this tree.
"It is indeed a nine-bend spiritual tree."
When Cheng Buqi saw this object, his eyes suddenly shone with light, and he moved his index fingers and grasped the object in both hands, as if he wanted to snatch the object from Ling Xudu's hand.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xudu snorted, waved his hand, put away the Nine-Bend Spiritual Wood, and said to Cheng Buqi: "You have been practicing the Qiankun Wood Emperor Art to the ninth level for many years, and you have been stagnant. If you have
For this tree, I think there is a small chance of breaking through to the tenth level."
"Okay, deal."
Cheng Buqi gritted his teeth and agreed to the matter. After he finished speaking, he said to the disciple Li Tiangang behind him: "Disciple, it's up to you whether you can get the Jiuqu Lingmu as a teacher this time."
"Master, don't worry, my disciple will definitely defeat Qianyuan and obtain the Nine-Bend Spiritual Wood for you, master." Li Tiangang said immediately, looking confident.
Ling Xudu frowned slightly when he saw this. When he thought about it, his junior brother never did business at a loss. He dared to let Li Tiangang compete with his disciple Qianyuan. Could it be said that the other party had also reached the level of an eighth-grade alchemist?
"Qianyuan."
Ling Xudu said calmly.
"The disciple is here."
At some point, Qian Yuan, who was as powerful as jade, stood behind Ling Xudu and responded respectfully.
"You have a competition with this little friend Li Tiangang." Ling Xudu said.
"Yes." Qianyuan responded.
"Ling Xudu, in my opinion, there is no need to start with the first-grade elixir. Let's refine the eighth-grade elixir." Cheng Buqi suddenly said, 'Win or lose will be decided in one go.'
"Okay, it's up to you to refine the eighth-grade elixir and decide the outcome in one go." Ling Xudu was stunned when he heard this, then nodded in agreement.
Everyone who was watching this scene took a breath when they heard this. Ling Xudu and Cheng Buqi both asked their disciples to refine the eighth-grade elixir. Doesn't that mean that Qianyuan and Li Tiangang are already eighth-grade alchemists?
This is really shocking.
Because they all know very well that whether it is Qianyuan or Li Tiangang, they are probably new eighth-level alchemists, and the rate of making pills will not be that high.
As for refining eighth-grade elixirs, it is very difficult for even a long-established eighth-grade alchemist to successfully refine them in one go.
Therefore, the outcome of this alchemy competition is really unpredictable!
Everyone looked at Qianyuan and Li Tiangang, their expressions and eyes were more or less excited;
