Immortal, I have mediocre qualifications

Zhou Lie's aura was tainted with a hint of sharpness, and there was also an unconcealable vitality.

Competing on the same stage with his contemporaries has changed his vision and state of mind slightly, not to the extent of earth-shaking, but like a new stream of water, washing away some of the previous staleness.

"Elder Yaolu's student? If it's your choice, I don't want to eliminate you."

Zhou Lie's opponent was a young man in green. His qualifications were not bad, and his cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi refining.

This time, Yaolu sponsored the outer sect competition very much, and he benefited from this, and he was somewhat grateful to the elders of Yaolu.

Zhou Lie is the apprentice of Elder Yaolu. He would rather eliminate others than let them lose.

But there is no way, if you encounter someone, there will always be one person who needs to be eliminated.

The most he could do was to strike lightly and let Zhou Lie end honorably.

"Although the difference is a small level, it is a problem, but I will not be discouraged."

Zhou Li regards Chen Sheng as his life guideline in everything, and has his own concerns when encountering problems. He said: "Teacher also tried it back then and succeeded."

As far as he knew, the teacher had tied with a Qi Refining Realm monk who was a little higher than him.

What the teacher can do, his apprentice must also work hard to accomplish.

"Fighting beyond the next level is one of a kind."

The young man in green smiled. He heard the word "leapfrogging" a lot, and thought it was an extremely simple thing, but in fact it was very difficult. That was the domain of genius.

These people are not geniuses. They cannot be absolutely sure of killing at the same level, so why talk about others.

Zhou Lie naturally knew this truth, but when he really encountered it, he had to give it a try. Even if it didn't work, he would try his best.

boom.

He didn't hide his clumsiness, and he didn't have the conditions. As soon as he took action, he reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi refining. He formed seals with his hands and cast a fire spell.

On the fighting stage, complex light patterns intertwined, stirring up the spiritual energy in the void, and instantly burned with fierce flames.

Zhou Lie was like a god who commanded the flames. With a thought, snakes flew into chaos, unicorns and beasts roared past, heading straight for the enemy's facade.

"As expected of an alchemist."

The young man in green exclaimed in admiration. Zhou Lie's control over flames was unparalleled among monks in the Qi Refining Realm.

This is the advantage of the alchemist. When refining the alchemy, everything in the furnace is changing rapidly, and naturally the skill of controlling fire with one hand is extremely exquisite.

He stood still with a calm expression. Fighting and alchemy were two different fields.

This fire cannot hurt him.

The young man in green raised his two fingers together in the shape of a sword, and slashed them down repeatedly. The sharp sword energy generated by his strong magic power killed all the fire beasts that were rushing towards him.

Then, he turned his hand into a sword to make a seal, crouched down, and pressed down inch by inch.

The whole process was very slow, as if the seal in his hand was as heavy as a stone and could not be pushed immediately.

boom!

After one or two breaths, his seal finally touched the ground, and there was a sudden earthquake, as if the three mountains collapsed, an earth-shattering wave that spread outward.

On the fighting stage, the protective formations branded on them flashed non-stop, and formations appeared one after another, absorbing the surging destructive power.

The ever-growing flame was chipped away layer by layer, and as soon as the storm passed, it was completely extinguished.

"It's better to send you down earlier."

The green-clothed young man's seal was extremely powerful and domineering. After finishing it, he changed his crouching posture and rushed out like a real dragon. With a move of his hand, an extra halberd appeared.

The shadows were shaking and there was no sign of anyone.

In Zhou Lie's eyes, the only thing he saw was the big halberd. It was dark, deep and thick, filling the world in his eyes. It was like an incomparably huge black dragon, with one scale and half of its claws showing, it could cover the sky.

Without hesitation, he sacrificed the Xuance Furnace, which he had cultivated for many years. This magic weapon was connected with his Qi and his mind, and fell on the top of his head. The majestic fire light dropped down, anchoring the void and protecting his body.

boom!

The halberd fell, the alchemy furnace trembled, the sky was dim, and the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth scraped hard.

Seeing that the attack was stopped, the young man in green became more and more energetic. As long as Zhou Lie was protected, he would not be afraid of beating people up.

then……

On the fighting stage, a young man held a big halberd and struck it repeatedly on the alchemy furnace like a big drum.

"The difference in realm is really terrifying."

Zhou Lie gritted his teeth and used his magic power on Xuance's furnace, trying to maintain an undefeated situation.

He also knows that this won't work.

Therefore, he lit a dark fire in the alchemy furnace, and strands of terrifying magical aura lingered and intertwined, turning into a small bird.

After more than a dozen breaths, the bird rushed out of the alchemy furnace, spread its wings, and extended its feathers to a length of two feet. It turned into a divine bird that burned the sky and killed the young man in green.

"After all, he is the disciple of Elder Yaolu."

Seeing this, the young man in green showed a serious look in his eyes. This attack condensed the essence of fire control and fire magic. It was extremely powerful and could already hurt the monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

He exhaled a long breath, his belly flashed like thunder, mysterious light spread on his body surface, and his breath suddenly rose to the sky.

immediately……

As soon as he spat it out, his breath fell, but a group of terrifying Xuanyin water thunder flew out.

As soon as the void was revealed, the sky changed drastically. In the chaos and darkness, the divine bird that burned the sky was swallowed up in one bite.

In an instant, Xuanyin's water mine couldn't hold on anymore and exploded. However, it followed the wishes of the young man in green and swept Zhou Lie out of the fighting platform.

"Lost..."

Zhou Lie stood up in embarrassment, looked at the fighting platform, and wanted to take another look at the high platform watching the battle, but he resisted, lowered his head slightly, and walked outside.

What he didn't see was that his teacher on the high platform had been paying attention to him.

"If you think about it clearly, your life will be better."

Chen Sheng's eyes were dull, and he asked Zhou Lie to participate in this outer sect competition for no other reason than to temper his disciples.

Zhou Lie is very good, but he always seems to have something on his body and feels uncomfortable.

Let him get in touch with his contemporaries and see other people's styles, and maybe he can gain some insights.

This time, Zhou Lie didn't return to Yaolu, and he didn't know where he was going. He walked and wandered to the quiet courtyard on Zhuxia Peak.

This was the place where the teacher first lived, and it was left here intentionally. No one moved in later.

He randomly found a place, sat down, and looked around, wanting to know how he could be as powerful as a teacher.

"Am I being too pretentious?"

Zhou Lie knew that there was something wrong with him. His body and mind were bound by invisible shackles, and the reason for the shackles was that he had put them on himself.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a first-level alchemist and a disciple of Elder Yaolu. He has a respected position and can call the wind and rain.

But he knew in his heart that he was just a lucky man.

The reason why he was chosen by his teacher was not because of his transcendent talent, nor because of his indestructible Taoist heart, but because of the friendship left by his family ancestors in the past, which made him achieve what he is today.

In order to be able to match this opportunity, he followed the teacher as the criterion in everything, and did not dare to relax for a moment on the alchemy path, for fear of letting outsiders say that he was nothing.

Even though the teacher didn't care much, he seemed to have noticed something and asked him to let go of himself.

"If they know, they'll probably spit in my face."

During the outer sect competition, Zhou Lie saw that the real situation of an outer sect disciple was quite miserable.

Cultivation resources are extremely scarce, so you have to fight for everything.

There are no skills and pills at all, and the only way to survive and perish is to become a Youwei Palace and earn contribution points.

And these were never something he had to think about.

What he cares about is spiritual things, not the material level.

This kind of overthinking after being full made him feel that he was indeed too pretentious and coy sometimes.

People of my generation, even those with nothing but nothing, dare to venture into it.

In comparison, his starting point is already high enough.

"Maybe, there's nothing to be afraid of."

This sentence suddenly appeared in my mind.

Zhou Lie shouted, his voice gradually becoming firmer. It was time to throw away those messy things.

Traveling lightly, on the high platform, transform into a spirited young man and go fight hard.

Dragon Palace.

"Teacher, I lost."

Zhou Lie came back. There was still a look of shame on his face. After all, he had lost and had lost the teacher's face.

But fortunately, his eyes were no longer evasive, and he was able to look at his heart, as if he had taken off some things, showing a sense of relief.

"Ah."

Chen Sheng didn't show it on his face, but he was still very happy in his heart.

Zhou Lie is a man who respects his teachers. He likes him very much and hopes that he can go further on the road to immortality.

"I want to go out and experience it."

After standing for a while, Zhou Lie finally said his plan. He wanted to see the outside world, like an ordinary outer disciple, go out on his own and sharpen his Taoist heart.

"it is good."

Chen Sheng still looked calm.

He never interferes with the will of others. At most, he gives advice to a teacher. After all, practice depends on the individual.

There is nothing wrong with Zhou Lie wanting to travel far, hone himself, and fly high like a fledgling.

"Bring everything you need to bring. If you encounter something you can't handle, don't force yourself. Just write a letter and come over."

The world of cultivating immortals is very cruel. When Zhou Lie goes out, he is bound to encounter many dangerous things.

Lu Zhu will be worried about this, but this is Zhou Lie's personal choice. She will not stop it, but only warns to be careful in everything.

"Master's wife, I know."

Zhou Lie said reluctantly.

Longxing Palace carries everything in his life. His teacher and his wife are the most important people to him. If he goes out to practice again, he will miss this place often.

……

After building the foundation, Chen Sheng let the outer sect competition worry him. At this moment, he pulled away and cast his eyes on the Medicine House.

It's time for another round of adjustments to Yaolu's personnel structure.

Discussion tomorrow.

His order was conveyed simultaneously in the Twelve Halls of Yaolu. All the alchemists received the news and did not dare to neglect it.

This was Chen Sheng's first discussion after he established the foundation, and it was of great significance.

According to the calculation of the longevity of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Yaolu will be under the control of this person for at least more than a hundred years.

What is their future in these more than a hundred years? This time is an important turning point.

The next day.

Time is up.

Chen Sheng did not go to the meeting hall, but came to the desk, sat down, picked up the stacked documents and looked at them.

It's the beginning of the month again, and it's time to deal with some internal matters.

"Three hundred Qingge Pills from Yangxin Peak, plus five hundred Bloodthirsty Pills."

"Bai Yufeng has one thousand Qi Condensing Pills and three hundred Brain God Pills."

"The Law Enforcement Hall contains 1,500 Qi-nourishing Pills and 500 Blood-Coagulating Pills."

"The Inner Sect Changming Peak, five hundred Qi Condensing Pills, and five hundred Que Que Replenishing Pills."

……

They were all ordinary documents from various genres. Chen Sheng had already taken the easy way out, divided them up casually, and dealt with them in a few strokes.

Next, there are some things really worth dealing with.

"The alchemist Xiao Daofeng colluded with the inner sect to get his hands on Yao Lu."

Chen Sheng was a little happy when he saw this document. He looked at the name seal on the back and saw that it was indeed "Qi Luo".

As he delayed in breaking through to build the foundation, and as he grew older, Yaolu's authority became somewhat unstable.

Like a king in ancient times, he is old and weak, and his mind is confused. Even if he is still sitting in that position, the ministers below him are restless.

He remembered that Xiao Daofeng was a veteran in Yaolu and had a high seniority. Although a rising star like Qi Luo had similar alchemy skills, he was still beaten by half.

The matter of Yaolu involved the inner sect. After he came to power, he relied on the foundation laid by Mr. Shen and gradually planned and developed over several decades, expanding his base a lot and making people jealous.

Although the two families are from the same family, Chen Sheng is the person in charge of Yaolu, so naturally he doesn't want others to get involved.

Over the years, the hand of the inner medicine refining hall has been touched many times, but he knocked it off.

The fact is that the evil spirit of the Medicine Refining Hall is not dead. Seeing his aging, they started to plan to support others and go one step further to engulf the channels of the Medicine House.

He asked him to put this document away.

When the drawers are opened, they all fall down.

This young man has a sincere heart. Since he became aware of Xiao Daofeng's ambition a few years ago, he will write a document expressing his concerns every year and a half.

Although he suppressed it, he was not discouraged and kept writing documents and persevered.

"The Forty-Nine City Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce will auction a second-level alchemy master's inheritance on April 9th. If you are interested, you can take a look."

The last document was sent by Mr. Shen.

After breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm, the path of a second-level alchemist was rarely passed down by Yaolu, so Chen Sheng wrote to Mr. Shen to learn from the elders.

Mr. Shen didn't hide anything, and kept trying to clear up doubts.

This time, when such news came, I thought he might be interested.

"Sijiucheng, let's take a trip then."

Chen Sheng said casually.

It was easy for him to take charge of Yaolu and obtain such a inheritance.

Chamber.

The alchemists from the Twelve Halls of Yaolu gathered together. A rough count found that there were fifty or sixty people, which could be considered prosperous.

Time goes by little by little, and it has been delayed for half an hour and has not started yet.

Many alchemists have realized something. Look at your nose with your eyes, and your nose with your mouth, and sit still to avoid losing your posture.

In this way, half an hour passed.

"Why aren't the elders here yet?"

An old man with gray hair, decent robes, and jade-like skin couldn't sit still. He turned his eyes around and finally spoke.

Many alchemists looked at him but did not respond.

Only a young alchemist, with eyes as clear as blue water and sharp sword eyebrows, raised his eyebrows at him.

"Master Xiao, why are you in a hurry? If the elder doesn't come, just wait."

Qi Luo is not a restrained person. If he doesn't understand something, he will definitely say it. He said: "Or, you have other ideas."

The last sentence he said was so plausible that it was hard not to make people think in a dark direction.
