Take a Sigh

The Alchemist Guild is entrenched in a corner of Huajin City, and there is a lot of traffic and crowds. All the forces coming and going are looking forward to this year's Alchemist Competition. They enter the venue early and take their seats under the arrangement of the Alchemist Guild.

The arena of the competition is a large square in the middle, surrounded by formations to prevent external forces from interfering with the competition.The rules of the game are also very simple, one game determines the outcome.The Apothecary Guild does not provide medicinal materials or pills, everything depends on the contestants themselves.

This requirement may seem simple, but it is full of challenges.Because the contestants who come to participate will not reveal their strength in advance, they not only have to challenge themselves, but also fight a psychological battle with other contestants to figure out the level of pills they can refine.

The competing forces arrived one after another, the Shen family was stuck in the middle, and Shi Yuanye and Ling Shuangxue were also in the Shen family's team.

The members of the Alchemists Guild originally arranged the Shen family's location to be a bit remote, but when they saw Shi Yuanye and Ling Shuangxue, they immediately looked for a place in embarrassment, and temporarily changed the arrangement, putting the Shen family and the Duan family together.

Shi Yuanye was named in the Alchemist Guild, so the Alchemist Guild came to invite him. Without hesitation, he took Wen Renqie to the seat of the Alchemist Guild.

With the idea that no one from the Huanyue Immortal Sect would be offended, the Alchemist Guild also invited Ling Shuangxue and Jiang Ling, but they declined and stayed at the Shen family.

Jiang Ling has become thinner visible to the naked eye these days, and his whole body has become a little haggard.On the day Shen Zhuo and Crazy Cao had an accident, he was asked to leave by Mo Qingyu, and it was too late when he came back.

Although no one blamed him or deliberately mentioned these things in front of him, but he could hear the rumors outside, the Shen family was concerned about his feelings and didn't say anything, but others would not.

What he heard and saw was enough to imprint a deep scar in his heart that could not heal.

There is friendship between him and Crazy Cao, not strangers who have no intersection at all.They have been through hardships and hardships together, and they left Huanyue Xianzong together to help Shen Zhuo.

The Cao family attacked, the Mo family covered, Jiang Ling didn't have the courage to delve into what role Mo Qingyu played in this.He was afraid that the answer he would get was not what he wanted. His remaining sensibility for Mo Qingyu and his rationality for facing the facts contradicted each other, and neither would give in to the other.

Jiang Ling thought that he should wake up and see all this clearly, but every time he thought of this thought, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if he was bound by something and couldn't break free.

Jiang Ling was tired of dealing with Mo Qingyu, and he was also looking for a way out.

The people from the Duan family came quickly, just as fast as the Shen family.When Duan Yanchun arrived at the arena, he glanced towards Shen's house, only to see Ling Shuangxue sitting upright, holding Jiaojiao who was yawning in her arms, and was a little surprised that he didn't see Shen Zhuo.

He whispered to Shen Xiao, only then did he know that Shen Zhuo didn't come with the Shen family, he was later, and entered the arena directly.

"Is he sure of coming out of retreat these days? After all, I've been wasted for ten years, and I'm not sure enough." Duan Yanchun is more nervous than Shen Zhuo at the moment. This is related to the reputation of the Shen family, and there can be no difference.

Shen Xiao had no idea, but thinking about Shi Yuanye and Ling Shuangxue's inexplicable calmness, he felt that things were not that bad.

11 years ago, his son was able to become a blockbuster, and 11 years later, he will surely be able to reproduce his glory on the same battlefield.

"Wait and see, he won't fight unprepared." Shen Xiao comforted Duan Yanchun's emotions, Shen Zhuo didn't panic, they should be more calm as elders.

The two of them were talking, someone had already entered the arena for pre-match testing, this step was to prevent someone from using pills to change their appearance and disrupt the fairness of the game.

Shen Zhuo is one step behind the Shen family, and has just entered the arena.The moment he appeared, he caused quite a stir. After all, more than ten days ago, when he confronted everyone, he was still looking sick, but now he was radiant and full of energy.

The severity of Shen's burns can be seen by anyone with eyes. It is difficult for him to recover from his injuries in a short period of time.But the fact is that it subverts people's imagination in this way. Shen Zhuo has recovered, and not only his injuries have healed, but his cultivation base is even more invisible than before, and his whole body is restrained and hidden.

The members of the Alchemist Guild couldn't believe it, and they confirmed twice that they let Shen Zhuo enter the arena.For their questioning, Shen Zhuo just smiled.

Others are here, not afraid of any gaze.After confirming that those who entered the competition had their own number plates, Shen Zhuo found his place.Unbiased, right in the middle.Standing here, forces from all directions are concentrated, and any detail will make me feel like a thorn in my back.

The Alchemist Guild intentionally arranged Shen Zhuo here because he thought that he had neglected his cultivation and became a useless person. If he made a mistake, it would be easy to be noticed.They already believed in their hearts that Shen Zhuo would make a fool of themselves, but they forgot that if Shen Zhuo stabilized the situation, this position would be clearly seen by everyone, allowing him to soar into the sky.

Shen Zhuo didn't care about the malice of the Alchemist Guild, and even thought this position was very good.He simply sat on the ground, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath on the field.

The later contestants came faster, Danxinzong and Uncle Gong's family came together, and the representative of Danxinzong was Yan Luobing, and it was worth noting that the person promoted by Uncle Gong's family was actually Shen Yiwen.

One must know that Shen Yiwen is not good at alchemy, his alchemy is not as good as Shen Yanzhi's, Uncle Gong could obviously send out more powerful competitors, but they didn't, did he intend to give up from the beginning?

It is not the uncle's style to give up halfway. Even if it is an opportunity, he must fight for it before he is reconciled. It is impossible to give up so easily.

Shen Zhuo, who was awakened by Shen Yiwen's loud voice, looked at the two people who were getting closer, his eyes flickered slightly, this incident was strange.He watched calmly, and when the two confirmed their location, Shen Zhuo lowered his head and let out a low laugh.

Yan Luobing is on the lower left of Shen Zhuo, and Shen Yiwen is directly opposite to Shen Zhuo. Both of them are in the middle, and they just form an equidistant triangle with Shen Zhuo.

Not only that, but Shen Yiwen's position is delicate, if he does something, it's not easy to see the direction of the Alchemists Guild.

Uncle wanted to protect Shen Yanzhi, so the person who pushed him out was the useless Shen Yiwen.It's not that he doesn't fight, it's just that he fights in a different direction.

Shen Zhuo smiled without saying a word, calmly maintained the original, pretending that he didn't see anything.

Shen Yiwen greeted him uncharacteristically, with a gentle attitude, as if he was a good brother.Shen Zhuo didn't show his face, he answered all the questions, so that the other party couldn't find any faults.

Seeing this, Shen Yiwen lost the intention of continuing to talk, and started to tidy up his alchemy furnace with a few laughs.

It was time for the competition to start, and White Beard, who was sitting at the head of the Alchemist Guild, woke up under the urging of others. He seemed to have not woken up yet, his eyes were covered by his gray eyebrows, and only a crack could be seen.

This is the president of the Alchemist Guild. He looks like a birthday star and is amiable. He is kind to others and does not fight or grab. He is like a mascot in the guild.

It was still necessary for him to say a few words about such things as the military competition, but he leaned on crutches, stood up tremblingly, squinted his eyes and swept under the stands, and cleared his throat.

Just when everyone thought he was going to talk loudly and revitalize the atmosphere of the audience, he raised his voice: "The game begins."

The simple four words are succinct, straight to the subject, no nonsense, some people didn't even react.

The people in the Alchemist Guild seemed to be used to such scenes, and they sent someone out to read the rules of the game without any haste.Whitebeard retreated to the chair, propped his elbows on the armrest, and began to feel drowsy again.

"President Bai, today's grand occasion is ahead, how about a drink?" Shi Yuanye, who was arranged beside Baibeard, glanced at the situation under the stage, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he turned his head and greeted Baibeard.

Baibeard closed his eyes and fell asleep, and when he heard Shi Yuanye's voice trembled, he woke up instantly.He turned his head and looked at Shi Yuanye, turned back in disbelief, and then turned back again.

Shi Yuanye smiled and said, "What? Don't you know me?"

The familiar voice sounded again and confirmed the scene in front of him, so that White Beard could be sure that he was not mistaken.There was a gleam in his eyes, and he grabbed Shi Yuanye's wrist and laughed.

Old friends reunited in the stands, and swords were drawn on the stage.

Shen Zhuo took out his own alchemy furnace, which was a gift from Gong Shutong. It was of high grade and high quality, which fit his own alchemy habits and was very convenient.

Today, there are so many strong people, the elixir below the fifth rank is easy to be eliminated, only the sixth rank and seventh rank can compete.If there is a seventh-rank peak | peak, the tenth is sure.

But this is not Shen Zhuo's goal. Since he wants to win, Shen Zhuo must convince everyone. He wants to surpass the peak of the seventh rank and directly refine a higher-level Xuandan.

Refining Xuan Dan must at least reach the level of a master, and Shen Zhuo's current cultivation level is just right.

Taking out the medicinal materials prepared before, Shen Zhuo began to sacrifice to the fire.Since he chose a high profile, he didn't hide it and used the strange fire directly.

Bai Yan was awakened, cheered and emerged from his fingertips, and automatically jumped into the alchemy furnace.

Abnormal fire is the king of fire, whether it is ordinary fire or beast fire, it will be affected a little bit, especially the nearest alchemist, they can hardly control their own flames.

Seeing his own flame huddled at the bottom of the furnace and refused to move, Yan Luobing's face turned livid.If there is no strange fire, his beast fire is the brightest focus in the field.But it's a pity that Shen Zhuo is here, his anger is only for submission.

Shen Zhuo didn't seem to notice anything strange around him, he checked the prepared herbs and searched for the prescription in his mind.This time he intends to practice something different, which does not belong to this world, but a elixir he created himself in another world.

When Shen Zhuo came back to his senses, the alchemists around him were sweating profusely, and it took a lot of effort just to control their own flames.

Shen Zhuo looked suddenly enlightened, and cast a glance at Bai Yan in the alchemy furnace.Bai Yan understood, and withdrew his strange fire coercion.

After getting rid of Bai Yan's control, those fires began to normalize, and even because of the excessive spiritual power, they rose for a while and burned blazingly.

Yan Luobing was a little unlucky, the flying flames scorched the hair on his forehead, and the burnt smell couldn't be concealed.He gritted his teeth, and said in a strange way: "Sure enough, there are all kinds of scholars who have all kinds of fire. This will show their prestige against us. I don't know if it will work later."

Shen Zhuo first looked at the crowd apologetically when he heard the words, then clasped his fists to Yan Luobing, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Yan, I really didn't know you couldn't do it just now."
