Chapter 812: The Challenge of the Danhuo Sect
The next day, the three of them left the inn and boarded the flying beast of the Upper Southern Region Chamber of Commerce.
Two days later, Chu Jiang finally came to the Danhuo Sect.
The Danhuo Sect does not have a main city, but is divided into inner sects and outer sects. Most of the people living in the outer sect were ordinary people, members of the chamber of commerce, and there were also some alchemists and other idle people who came here.
The inner courtyard is the area where the people of the Danhuo Sect live, and it is also the place admired by the alchemists of the Four Domains.
As soon as he walked out of the flight base, a group of people came in a hurry on the street, and the leader was naturally Jiang Yichen, an old acquaintance of Chu Jiang.
"Brother Chu, you're not interesting enough," Jiang Yichen pointed at Chu Jiang with a fan in his hand, "You came to the Danhuo Sect without notifying me in advance, so you came directly like this." ”
Chu Jiang smiled, "Surprise." ”
"Surprise ghost," Jiang Yichen approached, knocked Chu Jiang's shoulder with a fan, and whispered in his ear, "Hearing the news of your coming, all the old-timers in the clan have been out of the customs, and the sect master has also gathered all the core disciples, presumably to give you a dismount." ”
Chu Jiang listened, and probably had a bottom in his heart, "Am I so easily frightened?"
"Also, in the face of the difficulties of the Hongmeng Sect Master, you can still keep your face unchanged, and there is one person in this world who can do it besides you. Jiang Yichen said jokingly, and then walked side by side with Chu Jiang towards the Inner Sect of the Danhuo Sect.
The crowds on the street also recognized Chu Jiang's appearance, and they came up one after another, and for a while, the news of Chu Jiang's arrival in the Danhuo Sect immediately spread, and basically the entire outer city knew about it.
"Look at this popularity, I was able to go out on the street on such a scale before," Jiang Yichen said.
"I think it's because you and Fang Yichun went out on the street that it has such a scale," Chu Jiang responded jokingly.
Jiang Yichen turned his fan, "But Fang Yichun, this little girl, has been in retreat for several months, I don't know if she will come out today." ”
"Oh, is it impacting the Seventh-Rank Alchemist?" Chu Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"You guessed it really well, Senior Sister Chun'er is indeed in retreat for devil training because of the impact on the seventh-grade alchemist. Jiang Yichen replied.
While the two were talking, the group entered the inner sect in a mighty manner.
"You arrange a place for Jixiang to rest first, and I'll go and pay homage to the sect master alone. Chu Jiang said to Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen patted his forehead and instructed the servants on the side, "I actually forgot about this matter, you, take this little sister to Accord and wait for her life." ”
"Brother Chu, come on!" Ji Xiang whispered to Chu Jiang, and then left with his subordinates first.
Subsequently, Chu Jiang and Jiang Yichen walked up to the main hall of the Danhuo Sect.
The two sides of the wide hall were full of sect members, each wearing a special robe made by the Danhuo Sect, which was embroidered with four to six stars, indicating the rank of their alchemist.
Walking further in, there were six spirited old men, with white hair but a pair of eyes that were very bright, staring straight at Chu Jiang like eagle eyes.
At the top sat a middle-aged woman, dressed in fine clothes, graceful and luxurious, with a majestic look between her eyebrows and eyes.
"Junior Chu Jiang has seen Sect Master Xi, as well as all the seniors of the Danhuo Sect," Chu Jiang saluted to Xi Manchun and several old men.
"I don't know why Chairman Chu came?" Xi Manchun opened his mouth and said slowly.
The corners of Chu Jiang's mouth raised slightly, "The junior is here for the cooperation between the Four Domains Dan Society and the Dan Fire Sect. ”
"Hmph, what a big breath, my Danhuo Sect is the number one alchemy sect in the Four Domains, and I don't need any cooperation at all. A man walked out on the right and said aggressively.
Chu Jiang kept a smile, "Is this how this No. 1 Alchemy Sect teaches its disciples? ”
"You!" the man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xi Manchun.
"Hu'er, don't be rude," Xi Manchun said, "The Four Domains Dan will remain relatively independent from my Dan Fire Sect for many years, and they have agreed not to invade each other, so naturally there is no reason to cooperate." ”
Chu Jiang raised his eyebrows, his gaze swept over the crowd, "Is there a reason or not, the sect master naturally knows it in his heart, so I won't find it out on the spot." ”
"Chairman Chu's words are like a sharp sword, and he hits the nail on the head," an old woman said.
Standing beside Chu Jiang, Jiang Yichen whispered to Chu Jiang and said, "This is the Fifth Elder, Senior Fang. ”
"I think it's Elder Fang praising the juniors," Chu Jiang responded.
Fang You smiled indifferently, "If you are a compliment, then it is a compliment." But cooperating with our Danhuo Sect is not just a mouth, strength is the last word. ”
"I don't know how Elder Fang wants me to prove that I have the strength to cooperate with the Danhuo Sect?" Chu Jiang asked without humility or arrogance.
"Although Chairman Chu has the support of the Four Domains Dan Society, whether a force can develop for a long time depends on the strength of those in power. Otherwise, no matter how big the power expands, it will only be a castle in the air and duckweed in the water. Fang You said unhurriedly.
Chu Jiang bowed, "What Elder Fang said is extremely true. ”
Now, although Chu Jiang has mastered the Four Domains Dan Society on the surface, he still gives orders through the original person in charge of each domain chamber of commerce. If the former executive chairman repented, Chu Jiang had no resistance or deterrence, and could only watch him break away.
All of this stemmed from Chu Jiang's strength, and it did not reach the level that could convince everyone. This is the premise, and how to seize control after that is a later story.
"As the chairman of the Dan Society, aside from the level of soul power, the strength of alchemy is naturally excellent. Fang You finally said.
"Three days later, my Danhuo Sect will hold an alchemy competition within the sect, and at that time, all alchemists of the entire sect will participate, even me. Xi Manchun took Fang You's words and announced.
In the main hall, there was a small commotion all of a sudden, and everyone's expressions were shocked without exception.
Chu Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately understood Xi Manchun's intentions, she was using everyone in the Danhuo Sect to build momentum for herself.
"Is Chairman Chu willing to participate together?" Xi Manchun looked at Chu Jiang and asked.
"How can the juniors miss such a grand event," Chu Jiang agreed.
The corners of Xi Manchun's mouth raised slightly, "Okay, in that case, we will wait for Chairman Chu's arrival in Shenhuo Square in three days." ”
After speaking, Xi Manchun left the main hall, and the elders disappeared with him.
"I'll take you to a resting place first," Jiang Yichen turned around Chu Jiang and said.
Chu Jiang nodded, and suddenly caught a strong gaze, it was Guan Hu who had just begun to stand up and speak.
"Don't lose too badly when the time comes," Guan Hu said as he compared his lips to Chu Jiang.
Looking at the six stars on Guan Hu's robe, Chu Jiang smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It's better to take care of yourself." ”
Subsequently, Chu Jiang followed Jiang Yichen to a courtyard, with rockeries and clear ponds, and the environment was very pleasant.
"This is where you will rest for a while, and auspiciousness is in the room on the left. Jiang Yichen said to Chu Jiang, paused, and continued.
"In the competition three days later, there are only six elders in our sect who have not retreated to the death today, but all of them are at the level of the seventh grade, plus the sect master, it can be said that the top seven positions have been booked. So you'd better finish in 8th place, and staying in the top 10 is also a good result. ”
Chu Jiang patted Jiang Yichen's shoulder, "Okay, I know it in my heart, so you don't have to worry about me." ”
"Also, there is only one round in this competition, prepare the materials and the pill by yourself, and refine it together when the time comes, and the ranking will be determined from the refined pill, which can be said to be the final word, and you must not fail......"
Before Jiang Yichen could speak, he was directly pushed out of the courtyard by Chu Jiang, "I know, see you in three days!"
Back in his room, Chu Jiang sat at the square table, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, pinched the cup, and muttered, "Is there only one round?" ”
In the following days, the flames in the Dan furnace in Chu Jiang's room did not stop for a moment.
A large amount of gray powder was swept out by Chu Jiang and piled aside, and finally the height of the Dan furnace was about the same.
Soon, it was the day of the Danhuo Sect's competition. Such a grand event naturally attracted many onlookers, and the audience seats set up in Shenhuo Square were already full, not only that, but the periphery was also crowded into three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water was impassable.
"I heard that Chu Jiang will also participate in this Danhuo Sect's alchemy competition!" "Really? I haven't seen Chu Jiang in alchemy for a long time!" "Not only that, even Sect Master Xi will start refining this time!" "Really? Sect Master Xi is an eight-rank person, isn't there no suspense in this competition?"
The crowd of onlookers was chattering, and the whole square was boiling.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yichen came to Chu Jiang's courtyard with a mysterious face.
"Fang Yichun is out of the customs, right," Chu Jiang said in front of Jiang Yichen.
Immediately, Jiang Yichen's face drooped, "You are too boring, too boring!"
"And her rank?" Chu Jiang asked.
Jiang Yichen shook his head and replied, "I don't know, but I heard that she went directly to Shenhuo Square after leaving the customs." It's not too early, so let's go. ”
"Okay," Chu Jiang followed Jiang Yichen towards Shenhuo Square.
Passing through the inner city road, the two soon arrived at their destination.
The sharp-eyed man suddenly spotted Chu Jiang, "Come on Chu Jiang, try to overthrow a few elders!" "Come on, you are the pride of our people in the Northern Regions!"
For a moment, the auditorium became extremely riotous.
Chu Jiang caught Fang Yichun's figure, which looked no different from before, but the aura it exuded faintly became fierce.
Walking in, Chu Jiang and Jiang Yichen stood beside Fang Yichun on the left and right.
"Have you broken through to the seventh rank?" Chu Jiang said.
Fang Yichun smiled slightly, and replied slowly, "Brother Chu's perception is still so keen. ”
"Okay, Chu Jiang, you can only fight for eighth place now," Jiang Yichen said gloating on the side.
