In the third mountain range, there are two sects, both of which use alchemy to coordinate their cultivation. The normal method of cultivation is to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use, which requires meditation and practice.
This kind of sect doesn't need it. Their way of cultivation is to take drugs. When others practice, they spend all the time refining elixirs.
There are naturally not a few disciples with the talent for alchemy. Sun Xu's rise in fame has made the disciples of these two sects feel very unhappy.
Xiancao Valley and Huadan Peak live next to each other and have a good relationship. Cooperation and competition coexist, and they can also communicate with the outside world.
The most important thing is that the two have the same origin. Hualan Peak was founded by a disciple of Xiancao Valley, and they have a deep connection. However, there were many times in the middle when the two sides had conflicts and caused countless casualties.
So the relationship has weakened a lot.
They are located in the third level of the mountain range, not because they are strong, but because these two places are very suitable for the growth of elixirs. In addition, alchemy is very powerful, and they have attracted a large number of guest elders, so they can barely survive here.
Unlike the disciples of other sects who often go deep into the mountains to search for various elixirs and encounter various dangers, the disciples of these two sects almost always come out of the honey pot.
The unique geographical environment means that they don't need to go out at all. They only need to concentrate on studying and refining medicine in the sect.
Even if there are materials that are not available in the sect, you can still use elixirs to hire other monks, or simply make exchanges, which are all normal operations.
What's more, the Jiuzhong Mountain Range itself is an extremely dangerous spot. There are only a few alchemy sects here, and people pay more attention to the improvement of their own cultivation.
Over the years, Xiancao Valley and Hualan Peak have each considered themselves to be the best alchemy sects in the Jiuzhong Mountains. As for who is number one, they say they are number one.
The disciples under my sect naturally have a very high opinion of themselves and do not pay attention to the alchemists of other sects at all, and do not even bother to discuss this issue with others.
No one cared about this wave of rumors about Sun Xu at the beginning, but as time went by, they spread more and more widely, and all kinds of comments were made.
The disciples of these two families were naturally unable to sit still, especially the young and energetic core disciples, who were all extremely angry.
The elders did not deliberately stop them. In the Jiuzhong Mountains, the seniors would not easily intervene in the exchanges between young disciples unless necessary.
A few days later, Sun Xu finished processing the snake gallbladder fruits and soaked them in a jade bottle, giving each person two pieces, no more and no less.
It didn't look like there was anything special about it on the outside, but Yun Yanyang and the others had confidence in Sun Xu, so they didn't ask any questions and just went back and used it.
By the way, I briefly told Sun Xu the rumors of the past few days.
It's no big deal that any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Sun Xu doesn't care about this at all. Needless to say, it will take hundreds of years. In the next three to five years, if you look back and listen to these idiotic remarks, these people will have no face to see others.
.
A young man in a green robe, with a fairy grass embroidered on his chest, appeared at the entrance of Jiuzhong Hall, followed by a middle-aged man. His aura was very calm, and he looked like a master at first glance.
The arrogance on his face was clearly visible. He glanced at the door of Jiuzhong Palace, and he didn't seem to want to come in.
With a wave of his hand, a white letter of challenge appeared in his hand.
"Ordinary disciples from Immortal Grass Valley and Hualan Peak will come to have breakfast in ten days, Junior Brother Sun. Please make preparations in advance and give me your advice!"
As his words fell, the white invitation turned into a bird and flew into the Nine Layers Hall.
Maybe they were worried that if they chose a place, Sun Xu wouldn't go, or something went wrong, so they simply agreed to come and prove that you are a waste in front of all the god kings and monks in your Nine Layers Hall.
After imagining this scene, the young disciples of Xiancao Valley and Hualan Peak felt a little excited.
"The only pity is that it took too long so that boy could be fully prepared!"
"A country bumpkin from a small world, even if we give him a year to prepare, he still can't compare with the proud men like us. Senior brothers, don't worry!"
"It will be beneficial to take a longer time, so that more people can come and see how we humiliate this kid in person!"
"The Jiuzhong Palace will not be able to save face at that time. In terms of alchemy, if our Immortal Grass Valley dares to be ranked second, who among other sects dares to be ranked first!"
Of course, this is a bit pretentious, and the reason is very simple. Immortal Grass Valley says that it is number one, and Alchemy Peak also says that it is number one, and the number two is even more unambiguous.
King Zhenyi, who received the white letter of challenge, didn't care about it at all. After seeing the young master's miraculous methods, he had 100% confidence.
If the old guys from Xiancao Valley and Huadan Peak act shamelessly, there might be some risks.
But even if these little brats were tied together, they probably wouldn't be enough to fight.
Apart from the fact that Sun Xu himself did not say those words circulating in the Jiuzhong Mountains, Zhenyi God King still felt that they were very reasonable and almost the truth.
In a short period of time, the news spread from the third mountain range to the second mountain range, and then to the first mountain range. Everyone at the foot of the mountain also knew about it.
Those who were interested in this matter immediately set off and rushed to the Jiuzhong Hall to join in the fun. When the news spreads, they themselves can be regarded as witnesses.
More people were not interested in this matter. What they were interested in was that Sun Xu was humiliated, Jiuzhong Palace lost face, and Qi Jiuzhong would not be able to hold his head high in front of them.
It doesn't sound logical, but it's a fact and that's what these people think.
In a short period of time, tens of thousands of disciples from large and small sects were outside the Nine Layers Hall, and more people were coming, which surprised King Zhenyi.
He didn't expect so many people to come. With this free time, why not practice hard?
It is impossible for so many people to come in to the Jiuzhong Hall, so the venue can only be outside the Jiuzhong Hall. Fortunately, Sun Xu doesn't care about this. If the other party comes to provoke them, he will not pay attention to these people.
Immortal Emperor-level alchemy methods are used to bully others by comparing them with these young people.
As time goes by, Sun Xu's cultivation is getting better and better, and he has entered the peak of the Mahayana period. According to the current pace, even without using pills, Sun Xu can enter the mortal realm within three to five months.
However, he still needs to work faster. Use the elixirs if they can be used. Many of the elixirs Fu Danggui gave him back then were for this stage of cultivation. After that, the effects will not be very good.
"Who do you think will win this time?"
"It goes without saying that the methods of the Immortal Grass Valley and the Alchemy Peak are beyond compare to those from this small world!"
"How about we have a bet?"
"I bet that the people from the Immortal Grass Valley and Hualan Peak will win with a thousand lingyuan!"
"I also bet five hundred spirit yuan that they will win!"
…
In the peripheral betting market, almost no one thought that Sun Xu could win. Occasionally, someone would place a bet, but it was just a matter of chance. (To be continued)
