Douluo Continent: Flame of Nothingness

Chapter 372 The Battle of the City Lords
"Lu Lian is a good seed, but unfortunately her achievements are not very high, at most eighth-rank alchemist."

"I know this, but she is my savior after all. If it wasn't for her, I'm afraid I would be finished by then."

"So I treat her the same as your daughter, without any partiality, but you will have to do this kind of thing yourself in the future."

"I will, thank you master for teaching them during this time."

Long Zhiming said gratefully, Shendan Tianzun shook his head and said:
"Your son, Long Ping'an, is already an apprentice of Treasure Qi Tianzun, and his level of refining is very good. I think that after this period of time, Long Ping'an may not be able to return for a long time. You and him go to the Holy City to settle down. Little guy."

"I will."

Long Zhiming nodded, Shendan Tianzun then pulled Long Zhiming to make a plan, Long Zhiming nodded and finally agreed, because Chen Xiaodong, the city lord of Guyao County, is about to become the old man, the position of city lord is vacant, Long Zhiming and Li Hui is going to fight another battle, the goal is to be the city lord of Guyao County.

Li Hui is not greedy for power, but wants to fight Long Zhiming for a legitimate reason, and he thinks that he is better than the other two deputy city masters, so the position of the city master can only be chosen between him and Long Zhiming , so Li Hui and Shendan Tianzun reported their ideas, and Shendan Tianzun agreed.

Long Zhiming took Long Ping'an to the Holy City the next day, and the Guyao County also began to prepare for the competition. The god Dan Tianzun sent an invitation letter to the world. Long Zhiming and Li Hui will compete for the position of the city lord. A commemorative ceremony for enlightenment and sanctification, because Long Zhiming became the first person in the Four Realms to have attained enlightenment and sanctification at the age of 70.

"Ping An, how are you doing in the holy city?"

"Well, Elder Mo takes good care of me, and Master loves me very much, but Master always asks me to go fishing to waste my refining time."

As soon as Long Ping'an was frowning, Long Zhiming froze for a moment, and immediately there was a picture in his mind, Baoqi Tianzun and Long Ping'an were fishing together, and Long Ping'an looked impatient beside him.

"Peace, this is not a waste of your time. You are always in a hurry. Sometimes the refining is not fast enough. Slow work produces meticulous work. You saw it when your sister was refining alchemy, right? No matter what she did It is steady and steady, although you are now at the same level, but you can easily encounter bottlenecks, and it is not good to blindly refine weapons when encountering bottlenecks."

"But I can't calm down."

After hearing Long Zhiming's words, Long Ping'an said with a bitter face, Long Zhiming patted Long Ping'an's head and said:
"You don't have to learn fishing. You can also do other things, such as practicing martial arts. Just find something else to do."

"This is fine, then Dad, teach me."

"Then what do you want to learn?"

"I want to learn how to shoot a spear."

"puff!"

Long Zhiming laughed, Long Ping'an looked at Long Zhiming puzzled, Long Zhiming said:

"Silly boy, your father and I play swords, I thought you would talk about learning swords."

"That won't work. Eldest sister learns swordsmanship, and second elder brother learns sword skills. I can't be like them. I have to have my own style!"

"Well, good ambition, I'll find you one in the holy city."

Long Zhiming nodded and encouraged, Long Ping'an smiled, and the two entered the holy city to meet Baoqi Tianzun. Long Zhiming and Baoqi Tianzun told Long Pingan's complaints, Baoqi Tianzun just smiled and said:

"Isn't this your father's absence? I'm a bad old man who only knows how to fish. Okay, I'll help your son find a gun learner, don't worry."

"Well, thank you Tianzun."

Long Zhiming said respectfully, after Long Zhiming let Long Zhiming settle down safely, he went back after drinking with Elder Mo. Elder Mo and Long Zhiming went back together because Elder Mo wanted to see the competition between Long Zhiming and Li Hui. I was also very happy to let Elder Mo live in his mansion. That night, Long Zhiming, Elder Qing and Elder Mo had another drink. The next day, Long Zhiming got the pill of the competition, Qiqiao Pill, the peak elixir of the holy grade.

Seeing this pill, Long Zhiming frowned. This is a pill that Su Miaodan failed to refine in his previous life. It can be said that there were only a few kinds of pills that could not be refined in Su Miaodan's previous life. Qiqiao Pill is one of them. Heavenly Venerable may have his own selfishness in arranging this alchemy. He wanted to see how far Long Zhiming could go without relying on the power of Su Miaodan. This alchemy could only rely on his own strength.

"Qiqiao Pill mainly treats the power of the soul, and it is generally used for people with severe soul damage. The refining of this kind of pill requires spiritual power. Don't worry about this, Long Zhiming's spiritual consciousness has reached the quasi-sage level. The peak is completely the strength of Su Miaodan during his lifetime. Su Miaodan still failed to refine at the peak of the late quasi-sage, the main reason is that there may be problems with the alchemy formula, and the divine elixir Tianzun has not modified the alchemy formula all these years."

Long Zhiming frowned and muttered, in front of him were five medicinal materials of Qiqiao Pill, half a month before the official competition, Long Zhiming and Li Hui got five medicinal materials at the same time, these were for their competition, and They can experiment in advance, that is to say, once they have reached four copies of the experiment in advance, they will not be able to do it, because one more copy is needed for the official competition, and they cannot find the medicinal materials by themselves. Like Long Zhiming, Li Hui also refined the Qiqiao Pill. Someone asked for pills, and Li Hui thought he could succeed or failed, which made Li Hui very shocked, that is to say, the starting point of the two is the same.

Long Zhiming sat in front of the alchemy furnace for three days and nights without eating, drinking or sleeping. Long Zhiming replayed the process of Su Miaodan refining Qiqiao Dan in his previous life over and over again. As a result, Long Zhiming found that Su Miaodan followed the above pill recipe no matter what step he took. Come, including refining the concoction.

Long Zhiming also suspected that it was because the flames of Su Miaodan could not perfectly refine the medicinal juice, so Long Zhiming started. Long Zhiming released his five flames, and the five rounds of fire method has evolved into a combination of four elephants and unicorns. Existence, Long Zhiming asked the five beasts to start refining the medicinal juice, and then began to refine the elixir. All the steps were normal, until the elixir was completed, Long Zhiming's elixir exploded.
The violent explosion resounded throughout Guyao County, and the house where Long Zhiming lived was directly bombed and collapsed. Long Zhiming was buried in the bricks, and everyone rushed over. Long Zhiming got up from the ruins and watched Pill furnace frowned, everyone thought that Long Zhiming had been attacked, but seeing that the fryer had retreated, Long Zhiming didn't care, he just stared at Dan furnace, thinking about his mistakes, it shouldn't be that there were no mistakes , so what is wrong?
Long Zhiming looked at the waste in the pill furnace and couldn't calm down for a long time.
