I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

In the manor.

Bao Huining had a gloomy face, while Huang Fei lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

"How did he know about the Alchemist Competition?"

"My nephew doesn't know, but my nephew guessed that Chu Ning heard it when other disciples started chatting."

Huang Fei did not dare to raise his head and explained: "Many disciples know that Chu Ning is no longer Danu, and the nephew has not restricted him from leaving the courtyard. I think some disciples did not avoid him when talking."

Before giving Chu Ning advice on how to survive, Huang Fei had already thought that Master Bao would question him and had already thought of his words.

Moreover, this argument is so convincing that even if Master Bao wanted to trace it, it would be impossible to find out.

Which disciple would admit that he said these words in front of Chu Ning?

At this moment, Huang Fei felt the pressure from Uncle Bao. In just a few breaths, he was sweating all over his body. He was about to be unable to bear it anymore. This pressure suddenly disappeared.

"Keep an eye on him. Don't let him live after being eliminated. Don't let me down again."

"yes."

Huang Fei walked out of the manor, all wet, without any expression on his face. Uncle Bao was in the late stage of foundation building, and his consciousness could spread to the entrance of the manor.

…

…

Ask about the main peak of Jinfeng Peak and the main hall at the highest point.

For all the disciples of Wenjin Peak, this is the place they most yearn for, but those who can step here are at least at the deacon level.

"Fifth Elder, why are you allowing outsiders to participate in this alchemy competition? Is it possible that you will eventually accept an outsider as a disciple?"

In the main hall, there are seven old men.

This is to ask the sect leader and six elders of this sect.

"What's the problem?"

Xie Shouping glanced over coldly: "The fourth elder thinks what I did wrong?"

"I just think that the Fifth Elder can recruit disciples from among the disciples of the sect's alchemists. Our sect now has dozens of alchemists, and there are even three second-grade alchemists. Bao Huining spent more than ten years refining from the first-grade alchemists. A master who has broken through to the second level can be regarded as an alchemy genius."

"Since he is a genius, then Fourth Elder, you should accept him as your disciple."

The fourth elder's mouth twitched, he was not an alchemist.

"Fifth Elder, don't be angry. The Fourth Elder is also considering the sect and always feels that the wealth will not go to outsiders."

When I asked the current sect leader to step forward to smooth things over, Xie Shouping snorted coldly: "What if you are not a disciple of our sect? If you are talented and are accepted as a disciple by me, wouldn't you also become a disciple of our sect?"

"What the fifth elder said makes sense. It seems that all the elders here are not from the current sect."

The speaker was an old man in green clothes. His words made the leader of Wenjin Sect look unnatural for a moment.

The composition of the disciples of the Wen Jin Sect is very complicated. In fact, it is not just the Wen Jin Sect. The sects in the entire Hundred City area are different from other sects.

In other sects, from the top to the disciples, they have been trained from generation to generation.

That's because these sects all have or have had strong men in the Nascent Soul stage. The lifespan of a strong Nascent Soul master is nearly a thousand years, and even thousands of years in the later Nascent Soul stage.

Having such a strong man in charge is enough to train several generations of disciples, and those disciples will also have a sense of belonging to the sect.

But the sects in their Hundred Cities area are a kind of interest alliance. To put it bluntly, they are the resources of a city. One or two golden elixir strongmen cannot take them. It is better to recruit several golden elixir strongmen to form a sect together, so as to resist the competition from others. The powerful golden elixir of profit.

The rebellion of the second elders that happened not long ago was externally regarded as a rebellion by the second elders, but those of them here knew very well that it was nothing more than the second elders who had broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core and wanted to compete for the position of the sect leader.

"Okay, there is nothing to argue about this matter. Since the fifth elder wants to hold an alchemist competition, it is also for our current sect to recruit talented disciples. The sect will fully support it."

Asking the current sect leader obviously wanted to maintain everyone's harmony, but the elders present knew that if everyone really stopped arguing, this sect leader would not be able to sleep well.

"Since there are no objections, I will go and organize this alchemy master competition."

Xie Shouping left immediately, and the other elders had envy in their eyes. This was the power of the alchemist.

A third-grade alchemist is enough to attract the friendship of many powerful golden elixirs. Who dares to underestimate the personal connections of a third-grade alchemist?

To put it bluntly, if one day a foreign force really invades Wenjin City, they are afraid that the other party will definitely wipe out the roots. But Xie Shouping doesn't need to worry about this. No force will refuse the alchemist's surrender.

Is there nothing you can do against Xie Shouping without looking at the sect leader?

If this sect really wants to become a sect, then there must be a powerful Yuanying person who can truly bring everyone together. Although the sect leader is in the late stage of Jindan, Jindan is Jindan, and he cannot change Yuanying.

…

…

After a year, Chu Ning appeared in Fangshi again, feeling that things were different and people were different.

He returned to the shop transferred to him in Qinshan.

It's just that this shop has been occupied by people.

"According to what Huang Fei said, the rule in Jincheng is to recognize the land deed but not the person. If your land deed is still there, then this shop still belongs to you."

He asked Black Snake to take away the land deed, but the people who asked Jinzong didn't ask him for it, so now the shop still belongs to him.

"Old Hei, we now have a layer of death-proof buff on us. Since we have already made two enemies in the late stage of foundation building, we don't care about one more."

Chu Ning whispered in his heart, the most important thing was that he had been holding an evil fire in his heart since he was captured and turned into a Dannu. If he didn't vent it, he was afraid that he would not understand the Tao.

Since you can't be stubborn anymore, let's stop being stubborn.

Even if they have to rob a drug store, no matter how strong the people behind it are, they will never be stronger than Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou.

"Senior, do you want to buy something?"

As soon as Chu Ning entered the door, a female cultivator greeted her.

The shop still sells medicinal materials. Obviously the people who occupy this shop also know that it is most suitable to open a medicinal shop next because there will be regular customers.

"Let your shopkeeper come out, I have something to do with him."

Chu Ning didn't have any difficulty with this kind of female cultivator who was a receptionist and shopping guide. She was just a salaried person.

"Looking for the shopkeeper? Senior, please wait a moment."

Feeling the majestic spiritual energy in Chu Ning's body, the female cultivator did not dare to question it and hurried to the backyard. In fact, Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness was unfolding and she had already known the situation in the backyard.

The high-grade Qi Condensing Pill and the Yuan Condensing Pill were eaten like jelly beans. Although he did not break through to the foundation, his spiritual consciousness was able to extend to a distance of thirty meters.

This distance is equivalent to that of a monk in the early stages of foundation building.

After signing a life contract with Lao Hei, although the difficulty of foundation building has increased, once the foundation building is successful, he will be able to handle it in the early stage of foundation building.

According to what Lao Hei said, the benefits of the two forming a life contract are not only as simple as being able to communicate with one another, but also greater benefits, but they must be established after the foundation is established.

Well, to sum up, our blessing lies behind us.

Chu Ning was not sure whether Lao Hei was trying to make a big deal for himself, but taking that step was an unavoidable choice.

Having already chosen, he will never regret it.

After a while, a monk in the late stage of Qi Condensation came out of the backyard. When he saw Chu Ning, his expression changed, and he obviously recognized Chu Ning's identity.

"Give you two choices. One is to go out by yourself and don't take anything in this shop with you."

Now that the other party recognized him, Chu Ning stopped talking nonsense.

"What's the other option?" the shopkeeper asked subconsciously.

"The other option is that I throw you out, and I can't take away anything in the shop, but I don't guarantee that you will still be intact."

The shopkeeper didn't expect Chu Ning to be so domineering, but he laughed: "Chun Ning, it is indeed unexpected that you can come back alive after becoming Dannu, but I don't know where you have the confidence to say this. I am also in the late stage of Qi Condensation. …”

"That's enough!"

Chu Ning's figure flashed on the spot, and he appeared in front of the shopkeeper like a ghost. Without using any magic, he unfolded his martial arts skills and punched out with a simple punch.

There was a look of horror on the shopkeeper's face, because in his opinion, the spiritual energy released by this punch was stronger than that of his boss.

But my boss is about to build a foundation.

boom!

At such a close distance, the shopkeeper didn't even have a chance to fight back.

This is the difference between Qi Condensation Stage monks and warriors. Qi Condensation Stage monks practice spells, which require a casting time, and are not like Foundation Establishment experts who can use spiritual consciousness to block and distance themselves.

Chu Ning grabbed her right hand, grabbed the shopkeeper's flying foot, and swung it towards the door. This shop belonged to him and could not be destroyed.

The shopkeeper fell on the street of Fangshi. Several clerks in the drug store turned pale when they saw it, and they were too frightened to move.

"Chun Ning, behind me..."

After a few breaths, the shopkeeper got up from the ground and was about to announce the name of his boss behind him.

"I forgot to tell you that I am an alchemist and I am preparing to participate in the alchemist competition."

Chu Ning's plain words made the shopkeeper swallow all his words back in his stomach.

At this time, the person in Wenjin City who can't be offended the most is the alchemist.

This alchemist competition held by the fifth elder of Jinzong suddenly raised the status of the already extremely high alchemist by several levels.

Even the boss behind him would not offend the alchemist at this time.

"Let's all go."

Watching the shopkeeper limping away, Chu Ning walked back to the store. His words made the clerks feel like they were being amnesty. They walked out of the store as fast as possible, for fear that they would not be able to leave if they were slower. .

On the street, many monks passing by, including the shopkeepers of the surrounding shops, were looking here curiously.

They wanted to know what happened, that someone dared to cause trouble in Fangshi.

Is this because your life is too long? Do you want to be arrested by Jinzong and become a Dannu?

Just during tea time, the patrolling disciples of Wenjin Sect arrived, and many monks looked like they were watching a good show.

"The rules of the city do not allow fighting. Is that you?"

Four disciples who were in the late stage of Qi Condensation of Wenjin Sect entered the door. The leader spoke as usual, but when he saw Chu Ning's appearance clearly, he was shocked.

Chu Ning also recognized the other party, the outer disciple of Wen Jin Sect who came to the drug store to arrest him.

"This shop belongs to me. That man Jiu Zhan Magpie Nest took over the shop while I was away. I should have no problem getting it back now."

"You said this shop is yours, but do you have any evidence? Besides, even if..."

"Qin Long, stop talking."

The leader, an outer disciple of the Wenjin Sect, interrupted his companion and looked at Chu Ning: "Since there is a legitimate reason, we will not pursue the case this time, but if it happens again next time, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhang Yang grabbed his companions, and after leaving these words, he motioned with his eyes to several companions to leave with him first.

Many monks who were watching the excitement outside the store were shocked when they saw Zhang Yang and the other two people entering the store and coming out a short while later.

After fighting in the city, the disciples of Wenjin Sect have not yet arrested him. Does this person have a great background?

Zhang Yang walked out of the crowd with his three companions. When there was no one around, he said: "I know you have doubts, so I will tell you something. This person was captured by me to be a Danu a year ago, but now he is back intact. You should know what this means."

Qin Long broke into a cold sweat as soon as he heard this.

As outer disciples, of course they knew what would happen to Dannu, and almost none of them would be able to come out alive.

He can only be released if he gets to know a powerful person in the sect.

"Senior Brother Qin, thank you for your advice. I almost made a big mistake."

Fighting is not allowed in the city. This rule is set by the sect and is used to restrain these monks who are not from the current sect.

Have you ever seen anyone make rules to restrain themselves?

If this person had a powerful figure in the sect standing behind him, he would not need to abide by such rules.

…

…

"Then Chu Ning came back and injured you?"

"Well, Chu Ning is extremely arrogant. Boss, you have to make the decision for me."

In a certain mansion, the shopkeeper who was injured by Chu Ning was standing in front of the man, complaining about his grievances.

"Just because he is an alchemist, is he so arrogant? I'm afraid there are other reasons for this. Let me investigate. You go to the warehouse to get the elixir and heal your wounds."

After appeasing his men and retreating, Yang Chaolie frowned. Although no one dared to attack the alchemists now because of what they asked the fifth elder of this sect, these alchemists are not fools, and the fifth elder is not their backer. When the competition is over, Those who have a grudge will still take revenge.

Their status as alchemists cannot protect them for a lifetime.

It's impossible for Chu Ning not to understand this truth, so why would he dare to take action?

Could it be that he got acquainted with some dignitaries of Wenjin Sect?

The more Yang Chaolie thought about it, the more he felt that there was a possibility. It was unusual for Chu Ning to come back after being captured and became Dannu.

…

…

Chu Ning didn't know that he was arrested and came back intact, which caused many people to misunderstand him. Even if these people went to investigate, they couldn't find any results.

Beings at the level of Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou would naturally not publicize that they were targeting a Danu.

After taking back the drug store, he directly chose to close the business.

What he needs now is to prepare for the Alchemist Competition. Before he knows when the mysterious old man will appear, standing out in the Alchemist Competition is the best way to save himself.

Chu Ning never thought about escaping from Wenjin City. Running away at this time would only give Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou a chance to attack him.

"Based on the Secret Mirror and the notes given by this senior, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get good results in the alchemy competition."

…

Seven days later.

Wenjin Peak was opened to the public for the first time, because this alchemist competition was set on Wenjin Peak.

I asked Jinzong to allow the monks to watch this alchemist competition.

Halfway up the mountainside of Wenjin Peak is the alchemy platform.

It is hundreds of feet wide and houses more than 300 alchemy furnaces.

yesterday.

The fifth elder of Wenjin Sect finally promulgated the rules for the first game.

In this alchemist competition, the first competition is to refine the Qi Condensing Pill.

The most popular elixir, it is also the first elixir that many alchemists start to refine.

In the words of the fifth elder, it is a test of everyone's basic skills.

Because there are nearly three hundred alchemists who signed up, only the top fifty will be selected for this preliminary round.

An elimination rate of over three to one.

The minimum requirement is a good quality Qi Condensing Pill. If you fail to reach a good quality, you will be eliminated even if you are among the top fifty.

The medicinal materials and alchemy furnace were provided by Wen Jinzong.

The level of performance is determined by the number of Qi Condensing Pills refined.

In other words, if you want to rank higher, you can put more medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace, but the more medicinal materials, the more the alchemist's level will be tested.

If it is possible to refine a high-quality product, one high-quality product is worth five good products.

Naturally, Wenjin Sect does not have that many alchemists. Even Wenjin City cannot gather more than 300 alchemists. Many alchemists come from other cities and come here for the opportunity of becoming disciples of the fifth elder.

At the top of Wenjin Peak, in addition to the six elders and sect leaders, there were seven more figures at this moment.

These seven people are all powerful golden elixirs and third-grade alchemists.

Moreover, it was very clear that these seven people were standing in the same area as Xie Shouping, and they didn't pay any attention to the questions asked by the current sect leader and several other elders.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, you did a great job in the alchemist competition. I also want to hold one to see if I can get one or two good seeds."

"Don't even think about it. If fellow Taoist Xie does this, I'm afraid all the good alchemy seedlings in the past few decades will be wiped out by him."

"No matter what, I have already said that I will only recruit one disciple this time. If there are other talents that you like, you can accept them as long as you want. I will not stop you."

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true."

Xie Shouping thought to himself: "I am holding this alchemist competition just for my disciple. The others are just accompanying guests."

"Do you think there will be a situation where the person who wins the first place will not take Lao Xie as his teacher?"

The abrupt words of an old man with triangular eyes made several others fall silent.

"Old Zhao, there is something in your words." Xie Shouping looked at this person.

"Haha, I just said it casually."

…

…

Under the bright sun, the breeze blew.

Dots of sunlight fell on the alchemy table and the gilded alchemy furnace. The golden light reflected, turning half of Wenjin Peak into gold.

It adds a bit of solemnity.

There are foundation-building monks flying in the sky on the cliff outside the alchemy platform, preparing to watch this alchemy event.

Those who are not strong enough to build a foundation will be surrounded by water around the alchemy platform.

Some monks in the late stage of Qi Condensation were even squeezed by those in the middle stage of Qi Condensation, but they did not dare to push them away because the elders of the outer sect of Youwen Jin Sect were maintaining order.

I can only silently write down the faces of these guys and settle the accounts after we get down the mountain.

Dan furnace No. 168.

Chu Ning stood in front of the alchemy furnace, feeling the eyes of the people around her. This alchemist competition really attracted attention.

After checking that there were no problems with the medicinal materials and the alchemy furnace, Chu Ning stood quietly.

Dang!

A bell rang, and everything was quiet for a moment.

The competition begins.
