Villain: Blackening the protagonist at the beginning, the beautiful senior sister

"That Dragon Batian, although he is only at the peak of the Jindan period, his combat power is comparable to that of a monk at the Nascent Soul period, and his purple lightning has destructive power. He is really a difficult opponent. I must improve his cultivation as soon as possible. Why do you do it?" Lin Chuan muttered to himself, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

Lin Chuan knew very well that he had to become stronger if he wanted to survive.

However, he hasn't made much progress in these years, and if he wants to improve his cultivation quickly, he can only improve in that battle.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan couldn't help thinking of the scene when he fought with Long Batian that day, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, thinking to himself, if it wasn't for Jin Chanzi's help that day, he might be buried in the hands of Long Batian .

......

The next day, at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Lin Chuan stood on the street, looking into the distance.

He saw a lot of people gathered outside the city lord's mansion, including disciples from major families and sects.

This time, the city lord's mansion held an annual alchemy conference, which aroused the interest of many people. Not only did all the families send people to this place, but other forces were no exception. Many sects even sent disciples to participate in this event. After all, this alchemy conference is related to the future rise of their respective powers, and they certainly don't want to miss this opportunity.

"It looks very lively." Lin Chuan sighed secretly in his heart, and said in his heart, "But I don't want to participate in this kind of alchemy conference."

Not long after, several luxury carriages came slowly and stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

These carriages are driven by spirit stones, which are expensive, and ordinary monks have no luck at all.

Lin Chuan noticed that many people came down from these carriages one after another, both men and women, all of whom were not weak monks.

The costumes of these monks are Qingzhou costumes, some are wearing black robes, some are wearing white robes, and they all look like rich or expensive cultivators.

Moreover, some people's aura is very strong, and they are obviously above the transformation stage, and some are even in the Golden Core stage, but they have not broken through the Golden Core stage.

"These people are the forces of Qingzhou, right?" Lin Chuan thought to himself

After a while, two old men came out from the city lord's mansion. They were burly, with rough faces and piercing eyes, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

One of the old men was the same old man back then.

The moment he saw the old man, Lin Chuan recognized the old man, because he had seen this person before.

This old man is a Jindan stage monk named Zhao Wuji, who was once a powerful figure in Qingzhou.

Beside Zao Wou-ki, there was an old man in green shirt. This old man was thin and wrinkled. He looked like an ordinary person, but his aura was extremely strong, which made people tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this old man, Lin Chuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was shocked.

That day, Zhao Wuji once told him that this person is the head of the Zhao family among the five great families in Qingzhou, his strength has reached the golden core stage, and he is an old monster in the transformation stage.

Unexpectedly, this old monster actually came to Nanhuang in person!

Lin Chuan quickly lowered his head, pretending that nothing happened.

"Old Ghost Zhao, are you alright?" At this moment, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked out from inside.

This middle-aged man looks about 40 years old, handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, wearing a long robe, with a treasured sword hanging from his waist, giving off a sharp feeling.

The fluctuations in the spiritual energy emanating from the middle-aged man have already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Qi training stage, only one step away from the liquid condensation stage.

Seeing this person, Lin Chuan was terrified. This person was the middle-aged man he met when he fought against the Patriarch of the Zhao family!

At that time, Lin Chuan was only at the ninth level of the body training stage, and he had no power to resist in front of this middle-aged man.

"Hehe, brother Liu came a little earlier, he just left the house just now." The old man named Zhao Wuji smiled slightly, with a gentle look on his face, giving people a sense of intimacy.

"Hehe, this is the annual alchemy competition, how dare I delay it?" The middle-aged man smiled faintly.

Liu Qingfeng nodded, then turned to look at a young man in black beside him, his gaze stayed on the young man for a moment.

He could tell at a glance that Lin Chuan was just a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, with a look of contempt on his face, he snorted coldly.

Hearing this voice, Lin Chuan suddenly felt his whole body tense, and his body trembled slightly.

"Hmph, it's just an ant, how dare you act presumptuously in front of the city lord?" Liu Qingfeng snorted coldly in his heart, and then looked away, not bothering to look at the ant.

Lin Chuan felt baffled, he didn't understand where he had offended the other party, but at this time, he didn't dare to raise his head, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body.

"Brother Liu, please"

Liu Qingfeng nodded slightly, and walked towards the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Liu Qingfeng walked into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, disciples from various major forces in Qingzhou kept casting envious glances at him, and some even took the initiative to chat with him.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qingfeng enjoyed it very much in his heart, and he couldn't help showing pride on his face, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile.

Lin Chuan followed behind Liu Qingfeng, seeing this person's expression, he cursed inwardly.

"It's really hypocritical, with a high-spirited look, and you are not afraid of embarrassment"

Lin Chuan felt disdainful, and then followed Liu Qingfeng into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Huh?" As soon as he entered the hall, Lin Chuan suddenly felt a strange aura, which filled the hall, causing the temperature in the entire hall to rise instantly.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge alchemy furnace, which emits hot flames.

Around the alchemy furnace, there are materials for refining magic tools, many of which are rare and precious materials, and there are even three seven-colored grasses among them.

The alchemist needs to temper the alchemy tripod with flames, and the alchemy furnace also needs to temper with flames.

When Lin Chuan was on Earth, he used to learn alchemy, and he knew a lot about alchemy furnaces. When he saw the alchemy furnace in this hall, he couldn't help showing surprise.

The alchemy furnace is the most important weapon of an alchemist, and it is also very important to refine all kinds of elixirs, because refining elixirs requires the support of spiritual energy, and at the same time, the flame must be controlled accurately, otherwise the refining fails, and the consequences will be disastrous, even if you are not dead , but also to be seriously injured.

Next to the alchemy furnace, there were two rows of guards in red brocade clothes. These two guards had a strong aura, and they were both Nascent Soul stage monks.

In addition to these guards, there were some alchemists standing in the hall. They were all resting their eyes with their eyes closed, or they were studying with alchemy formulas.

And on a high platform in the center of the hall, sat a middle-aged man. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage, and he was only one step away from the Condensation Stage.
