This system is so brutal

Chapter 163 The Presbyterian Church
After Lu Chen easily obtained the Alchemy Grandmaster badge of the Alchemist Association, he wore it directly on his body. As a result, his return rate reached [-]%.

Almost everyone doubts the origin of his badge, because only a few older alchemists in the Alchemist Association have this badge. It is difficult to produce an alchemy master. Alchemy is not like practicing. Because, there may not be such alchemy technology.

Of course, the fact that a new alchemy master appeared soon spread to the ears of other people in Xueyun Hall.

Except for Zhuge Mingjie and Shangguan Shanshan, almost all the senior officials of Xueyun Palace were shocked when they learned about this incident.

People know that the badge of Alchemy Grandmaster can only be issued by Zhuge Mingjie, so the title of Alchemy Grandmaster for Lu Chen was given by Zhuge Mingjie. The question is, why did Zhuge Mingjie give the title of Alchemy Grandmaster to a disciple from a second-level immortal sect? title.

During the meeting of the elders, Liu Lin brought this matter up on purpose and asked Zhuge Mingjie what was going on.

Liu Lin originally thought that this Lu Chen was sent by the two old guys from the Seven Star Sect to work as an undercover agent for their faction. However, except for flattering him at the beginning, this Lu Chen seemed to have never been in contact with his influence. , then what kind of undercover is it to be an undercover agent and not go to the other party's sphere of influence?

More importantly, this Lu Chen seems to be getting more and more high-profile, directly appearing in front of people, and even became the alchemy master of the Alchemy Association. There will be such high-profile undercover agents, and now almost all factions have sent people to investigate As for Lu Chen's details, they basically know that this Lu Chen is from the Seven Star Sect.

Lu Chen no longer has the qualifications to be an undercover agent. He is too high-profile, so Liu Lin is puzzled by this. He still doesn't know that Lu Chen flattered him in the first place just to successfully enter the Xueyun Palace. as an undercover agent.

"Elder Zhuge, what have you been doing during this time? Why are you so dim-sighted? How can you give the badge of a master alchemist to a disciple from a second-level immortal sect whose cultivation level is only at the level of consecration?"

Hearing this, a drop of sweat appeared on Zhuge Mingjie's forehead, and he cursed secretly in his heart:

Didn't this damn Lu Chen tell him not to tell others about this?
In fact, Lu Chen didn't understand what Zhuge Mingjie said at the time. He thought that Zhuge Mingjie just told him not to tell about the fact that he was able to refine the elixir beyond perfection. Mingjie's words were to remind him not to reveal his identity as a master alchemist.

Lu Chen didn't understand Zhuge Mingjie's words. As a result, he turned around and put the badge of the master alchemist on his clothes. After doing this, everyone in Xueyun Palace knew Lu Chen, and Zhuge Mingjie He was also pushed to the forefront. The people in the Presbyterian Church thought he was old and confused, couldn't find a job to do, and randomly gave badges to others.

Facing Liu Lin's question, Zhuge Mingjie didn't show obvious anger, he just replied lightly: "This disciple Lu Chen has a very high talent for alchemy. As far as I know, when he was in the second-level fairy gate , has already learned to refine high-grade pills, although the quality of the pills he refines is not very high, but I believe that after two years of working in Xueyun Palace, his level can reach the level of a master of alchemy, And with me in charge, it will be easy for him to become a master of alchemy, and the badge of this master will be issued sooner or later."

Hearing this, Liu Qin said to a white-haired old man across the hall: "Dugu Ange, I remember that you came from the Seven Star Sect in the past, right? Your Seven Star Sect is really talented."

After hearing Liu Qin's words, Dugu Ange stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Seven Star Sect lacks spiritual power, so the disciples in the Seven Star Sect will work harder, and most of their efforts will turn into strength in the end, so It is normal for the Seven Star Sect to produce some relatively strong cultivators."

"Oh, is that so? It seems that I have to go to the Seven Star Sect to take a look around, and take a good tour of this strange fairy sect."

Liu Qin had always disliked Dugu Ange, and his words just now contained obvious sarcasm, but Dugu Ange didn't really want to talk to him.

At this time, Yuwen Rongxuan said: "Elder Shangguan, I heard that Lu Chen is working as a waiter in your restaurant recently?"

Shangguan Shanshan sat in the attic, drank a cup of tea, and then replied: "Yes, what, does Elder Yuwen plan to take him back? I remember that Elder Yuwen also seems to be from the Seven Star Sect."

Yuwen Rongxuan smiled and said: "The Seven Star Sect belongs to the Xueyun Palace. If there is anything, do you want to come back? Since the elder Shangguan likes Lu Chen as a disciple, it's okay for you to take it away. I'm just curious. Since Lu Chen He is so talented in alchemy, why did Elder Shangguan not let him do alchemy, but stay in the restaurant as a buddy?"

Shangguan Shanshan replied: "This guy doesn't pay for his meal in my restaurant, so I will detain him to work in the restaurant to pay off his debt."

Hearing this answer, all the elders of the Presbyterian Church knew that this was an obvious excuse that couldn't be more obvious.

How could Shangguan Shanshan be so kind to pay off her debt? There was once a cultivator in the distracted state who ate at Shangguan Restaurant and refused to pay for the meal. He said that Shangguan Restaurant was defrauding consumption. As a result, within a few days, the cultivator in the distracted state was The body of the deceased was found outside the palace where Liu Qin lived.

Shangguan Shanshan only looks easy to talk to, but she is absolutely ruthless when she does things.

After hearing Shangguan Shanshan's answer, Liu Qin was the most unhappy, because his people had been killed, and Shangguan Shanshan threw the body directly at his door, which clearly told him to take care of him. dog.

Although he was unhappy, he didn't say anything.

Shangguan Shanshan continued: "These are trivial matters not worth discussing. What we should discuss now is the matter of man-eating monsters."

"The blood of monsters can suppress spiritual power, which is a huge disaster for cultivators. However, in the ruins we cracked recently, there are many ogre monsters that escaped. It is very likely that these monsters have mixed into the snow. Yundian, we must find a way to find these monsters and get rid of them."

Dugu Ange said with a smile: "It's just a low-level monster. Elder Shangguan doesn't need to care too much."

Hearing this, Shangguan Shanshan suddenly said unhappily: "The man-eating beasts this time came from the ruins of the base of the Holy Land Yuanzheng Army. They have lived for countless thousands of years. Their strength cannot be underestimated. Our Xueyun Palace is too close to this ruin. Those man-eating monsters want to invade Xueyun Palace. They can sneak in by killing any disciple and pretending to be that disciple. I don’t understand why Elder Dugu asked me to Don’t you need to be too concerned?”

Dugu Ange still had a smiling expression, and he replied: "That's the reason."

As soon as his words fell, a white special power emanated from his body, and his body began to become unreal.

Seeing this scene, the hall suddenly became quiet, and then, there was an explosion-like discussion.

Overcoming the tribulation is actually a precursor to overcoming the tribulation! ! !
Once Dugu Ange succeeds in crossing the catastrophe, he will be the next immortal to ascend.

My God, I didn't expect this old guy from the second-level fairy gate to become a fairy through the catastrophe!

They also have some cultivators who are older than Dugu Ange, and they are still in the Mahayana realm, and they have never been able to enter the step of crossing the catastrophe.

Dugu Ange continued: "The Holy Land Expeditionary Force has long killed those high-level monsters, and the rest are some low-level monsters. Although they have evolved for tens of thousands of years, they are still not enough to pose a threat to us. , I went to the ruins for a walk and picked up some man-eating monsters."

Having said this, Dugu Ange took out some monster beast corpses from his space ring and threw them into the air.

After seeing all kinds of monsters floating in the sky, people fell silent.

Is this the strength of a person who is about to become an immortal?Surprisingly, after visiting the ruins, he was able to hunt and kill so many high-level monsters. In Dugu Ange's view, these monsters were just low-level, non-threatening monsters.

"Before I go through the tribulation, I will thoroughly clean up the monsters in Xueyun Palace. If I am lucky enough to successfully pass through the tribulation and become an immortal, I will sweep the area around Xueyun Palace before I prepare to leave."

The hall was quiet, as if Dugu Ange had become the leader of Xueyun Hall.

Because everyone knows that offending anyone cannot offend the cultivator who is about to cross the catastrophe.

Even if the cultivator fails to cross the tribulation, the cultivator will still have enough time to drag you to hell.

After the elders' meeting, Dugu Ange found Shangguan Shanshan alone, and was going to have a chat with her.

Shangguan Shanshan was a little confused. What could this elder who was about to become an immortal have to talk to her about? With such doubts, she stayed.

After all the elders had left, Dugu Ange said to Shangguan Shanshan: "Is this Lu Chen really from the Seven Star Sect?"

Shangguan Shanshan replied: "Yes, he is indeed from the Seven Star Sect."

"Then the elder Shangguan intends to accept him as a disciple?"

Shangguan Shanshan smiled and said: "I didn't have this plan. I found that he doesn't need anyone to guide him at all. His talent is very high."

"This Lu Chen is not simple. Elder Shangguan should always pay attention. It has nothing to do with the factional struggle. I suspect that he is a high-level monster." Dugu Ange said.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Shanshan was stunned.

Also a member of the Seven Star Sect, Dugu Ange actually suspects that the disciple of his fairy sect is a monster.

"Why does Elder Dugu think so?"

"I have already been in contact with him. Although I have no way to directly see his monster prototype, I found that the spiritual power in his body is very different from ours."

"Although I can identify most monsters, if I encounter those high-level monsters, I will probably not be able to identify them."

Hearing Dugu Ange's words, Shangguan Shanshan thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will pay attention."

"Is there anything else wrong with Elder Dugu?"

"It's okay, I just remind you." Dugu Ange said with a smile.

"By the way, Elder Dugu, if you successfully overcome the tribulation, will you still stay in Xueyun Palace?" Shangguan Shanshan asked.

Judging from the cultivators who have ascended in the past, people who become immortals will generally leave Xueyun Palace immediately and never come back.

No one knows where those immortals went.

"I'm afraid I can't decide whether I stay in Xueyun Palace or not." Dugu Ange replied.

"What does it mean?"

"Ascension to immortality seems wonderful, but it is actually just the beginning of a nightmare. One day you will understand what I mean. If I tell you too early, it will add some obstacles to you."

"Okay, I'll leave first. I'll ask Elder Shangguan to keep a good eye on this Lu Chen."

After finishing speaking, Dugu Ange disappeared in the attic of the Presbyterian Church.

After Dugu Ange left, Shangguan Shanshan thought about what he just said and found that she didn't understand it.

Why does this old guy say that ascending to immortality is the beginning of a nightmare?
Shangguan Shanshan really couldn't understand it, so she didn't think about it any more. She just pretended that Dugu Ange didn't say anything. Anyway, it would still take a long time for her to become an immortal.

……

After Liu Qin and some other elders from the Xueyun Temple's own realm left the elders' meeting, they all had obvious resentment in their hearts.

Liu Qin said as he walked: "This old guy is about to cross the catastrophe. It's really shit luck. A low-level cultivator from the second-level fairy gate can still get along today. If he can successfully cross the catastrophe, then the old man The sky is really blind!"

At this time, Liu Lin interrupted and said: "Brother Liu Qin, don't say that. If he, a person who has quickly overcome the tribulation, is inferior, then we cultivators who are not as high as him are not even inferior." superior."

After hearing Liu Lin's words, Liu Qin suddenly lost his temper and said coldly:
"Liu Lin, you guys are helping that side!"

Although Liu Qin and Liu Lin belonged to different factions, they both belonged to the inner world of Xueyun Temple. People in the inner circle of Xueyun Temple have a kind of arrogance, they look down on the practitioners from outside.

When it comes to external issues, the factions within Xueyun Palace are basically xenophobic.

Liu Lin immediately said: "It's not about helping the other side. He is about to pass the catastrophe, and you have nothing to do. Instead of complaining, you should think about how to solve the problems he will bring when he becomes an immortal."

"From the perspective of the ancestors who ascended in the past, if they become immortals, they will most likely leave this place and will not come back. As long as Dugu Ange doesn't come back, there is no big threat to us."

"The key is that if he succeeds in overcoming the tribulation and becomes an immortal, it will arouse the enthusiasm of those who come from the second-level immortal sect. They may even ask to lower the acceptance standards and recruit more from the second-level immortal sect. More disciples come in."

After listening to Liu Lin's words, Liu Qin said coldly: "Don't even think about it, especially this Yuwen Rongxuan. If he dares to mention expanding the acceptance of second-level immortal sect disciples, I will kill all his right-hand men. Cut it off, I don’t believe how big a storm he can make as a solitary person.”

"By the way, I heard that Liu Wu got a first-grade heavenly artifact in the ruins. Does Brother Liu Lin know what kind of spiritual artifact it is?" Liu Qin asked.

Liu Lin shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, it's said to be a tower that can confine souls."

Liu Qin said: "Liu Kong and the others have been a little dishonest recently. Brother Liu Lin, you have to watch carefully. If we let them integrate the Xueyun Palace again, our good days will come to an end."

"Don't worry, I have already sent someone to Liu Wu's side, and their every move can't escape my eyes."
