"Huh...... Four days is actually less, and when some people level up, they will cultivate for a month. Guo Lao said casually, then paused and asked, "How are you feeling now?"

Zhou Bo waved his fist and replied with a smile: "I feel great." Hearing this, Guo Lao smiled and said, "Okay, let's start alchemy now!"

"Hmm. Zhou Bo nodded heavily, then quickly took out the ink medicine ding, took out the four prescriptions, and began to try to refine the pills on it.

After a night of crazy practice, Zhou Bo found that this fourth-level pill was far from being as easy to refine as he imagined, and he tried to refine the petrified pill three times without success, refining the Wind Shadow Heavenly Pill twice, and only one time almost succeeded, but in the end, because of poor fire control, it still failed.

So in the end, Zhou Bo still hadn't refined a single pill, and now Zhou Bo knew that the reason why he was able to successfully refine the Dragon Breath Sealing Lei Dan last time was due to luck, and now he really calms down to refine, but he can't succeed.

But there is another point that Zhou Bo is very happy about, that is, when he was refining pills, Guo Lao has always been by his side, and every time he fails, he will tell himself the reason, which also makes Zhou Bo progress faster, a hundred times stronger than him refining pills alone.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the last month had passed, during this time, Zhou Bo had almost never left the gate of the medicine garden, and he was all here to refine the four pills, completely like crazy, and under Guo Lao's order, everyone was not allowed to take a step close to the medicine garden, only saying that they were cultivating in it and needed a clean place.

In this way, Zhou Bo even practiced in the medicine garden day and night, and in a month's time, he refined a total of five Dragon Breath Sealing Thunder Pills, three Three Spirit Quenching Pills, four Petrification Pills, four Wind Shadow Heavenly Pills, and twelve Water Phoenix Pills. And behind the success of these pills is the ashes of herbs left by countless failures, but these efforts are also worth it, and now the success rate of Zhou Bo in refining fourth-level pills is about seventy percent, even compared to ordinary fourth-level pill pharmacists, it is not inferior.

The day after tomorrow, it is the fifty-year alchemy competition, according to the rules of the previous year's alchemy competition, respectively, by the two major alchemy sects of the Fan Medicine Sect and the Danren Sect held in turn, this is the twenty-second session, and it is the turn of the Fan Medicine Sect to be held, so as early as a year ago, the Fan Medicine Sect has already begun the intense preparatory work.

Because the Gunan Continent is a place where the Dan Pharmacist is the main hidden profession, every sect and faction attaches great importance to this grand event of the Dan Pharmacist, and they all want to show their skills in the high-profile medicine refining competition, not only the Gunan Continent can participate, but even the Dan Pharmacists of the Hongyu Continent and the Rongge Continent can also participate as long as they are willing to sign up.

Fanyaozong is located at the top of Fanyao Mountain, and at the foot of Fanyaoshan, there is a very prosperous small town, called Yaowang Town, which is to commemorate Fanyaozong's once thought that the master of medicine refining - Yaowang, so this town is named Yaowang Town.

There are still two days left before the Alchemy Competition, and at this moment, this Medicine King Town has already gathered masters from all sects and factions in the Ancient South Continent, and they all came here early, first, they want to come here early to prepare, such as staying in a hotel, etc., and secondly, they want to find out the level of other people, after all, the Alchemy Competition is a competition to compare alchemy with others, and the details of the opponent are very important at this moment.

In this bustling Yaowang Town, there is such a combination of an old man and a young man who is quite conspicuous, looking from a distance, the old man is dizzy and eyebrows, rickets and hunchbacked, and his figure is extremely thin, as if he only has a body of ribs left, and he is walking slowly in the crowd at the moment, as if anyone will fall down if he touches it.

And look at the young one, wearing a very ordinary cyan robe, only about twenty years old, although he is not very handsome, but his appearance is also delicate, he is not tall, compared with the cultivators who shuttle back and forth around, his figure can only be regarded as thin, but if you look at him carefully, you will find that his small eyes are revealing Dao aura from time to time, showing his difference.

That's right, this old man and young man are Zhou Bo and Guo Lao, they just arrived in this Medicine King Town today, and it seems that they are almost ready, but Zhou Bo came here so ostentatiously, did he want to participate in this medicine refining competition with his original face?

"Old Guo, do you think we will run into the head of Ji Ling?" Zhou Bo covered his sleeves when he walked, and looked around from time to time, looking afraid that he would run into Ji Ling real people.

Guo Lao smiled very casually and said, "You don't have to worry, they are slower than us, and it is estimated that they will not arrive until tomorrow." ”

But even so, Zhou Bo still didn't dare to be too ostentatious, took one step at a time, and looked left and right, his clothes looked alert. In the end, Guo Lao said very helplessly: "Zhou Bo, if you go like this, it will be more attention-grabbing." ”

Zhou Bo found that this was the case, at this time, many people on the street were staring at him curiously, and consciously kept a distance from himself, seeing this, Zhou Bo slowly put down his sleeves, no longer like just now.

It was not until this moment that Zhou Bo really began to observe this Yaowang Town, and he found that this Yaowang Town was a little different from ordinary towns, it looked very antique, and the ground was paved with smooth stone roads, but I don't know if it was because there were too many people walking or for some reason, many of the stone slabs were now protruding, and the streets were uneven, and there were all kinds of different shops on both sides of the street.

"Guo Lao, why are there so many people here!?" Seeing so many people on the street, Zhou Bo couldn't help but complain, and Guo Lao explained in surprise: "The day after tomorrow is the medicine refining competition, these people are all pill masters of various sects in the Gunan Continent, of course there are many people." ”

Hearing that these people were all pill pharmacists, Zhou Bo couldn't help but gasp, how can this be said that there are thousands of people, could it be said that a medicine refining competition will attract so many pill pharmacists to participate? Thinking of this, Zhou Bo muttered in his heart again; if it was true that thousands of pill pharmacists came to participate in the medicine refining competition, wouldn't it be even more difficult to win the championship?

"What do you want?" Guo Lao saw that Zhou Bo bowed his head and didn't speak, so he asked him curiously, hearing this, Zhou Bo came back to his senses violently, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Seeing that Zhou Bo was still thinking nonsense, Guo Lao shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go quickly! Let's find an inn to live in front of us first, and wait until tomorrow, and then I will take you to the Fan Medicine Sect to sign up." After speaking, Guo Lao sped up his pace without waiting for Zhou Bo to nod his head in agreement, and Zhou Bo was also busy keeping up.

As soon as they entered, Zhou Bo heard two white-haired old men sitting in the lobby, one was short and fat, wearing a big white coat, which looked very funny, and the other was tall and thin, wearing a black robe very casually, like a slender bamboo pole, so that the white and black together were very eye-catching, and they were still talking loudly about something while drinking.

"Do you know all of them?, since that Danren Sect's Chu Ling returned from the Eight Flame Mountains, her cultivation has jumped directly to the Yuanying level, in my opinion, the champion of this year's alchemy competition must be her!"

At this time, the short and fat old man in a white coat said loudly while drinking, and the guests around him were also attracted by his words, and they all put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and listened to him carefully.

And Zhou Bo was also very interested at this time, standing in the corner and listening to them, it seems that these two old men should have lived here all the year round, otherwise they would not know so much about these things, but he felt that these two old men should not be ordinary people, but to say that they were cultivators, Zhou Bo did not feel any spiritual power fluctuations in their bodies.

After hearing what the old man said, how could Zhou Bo not know it? The reason why Chu Ling was able to condense his soul into a baby was mostly on his own, if she didn't have her own Thunder Heavenly Tower, let alone cultivating into a Yuan Infant, I am afraid that her soul would have returned to the Diluo Realm at this time.

Looking at the two old men again, they seemed to be very satisfied with the gaze of the people around them, and then the voice became louder.

At this moment, the other tall and thin old man in black also said loudly: "Not necessarily, I think that Dai Jin is good, he won the second place in the last medicine refining competition, and he will definitely win the championship this time." ”

"Haha......" As soon as his words came out, the old man in white who supported Chu Ling to win the championship immediately laughed loudly, and only after he finished laughing did he smile and said: "I said that you old man, that Dai Jin is just a fifth-level cultivation of the embryo, where will it be Chu Ling's opponent!"

"Hmph!" Another dissatisfied snort, the old man in black immediately retorted: "What do you know? That Dai Jin cultivated to the fifth level of the embryo fifty years ago, and now that fifty years have passed, how do you know that he has not cultivated to the Yuan Infant?"

"This ......" The old man in the white horse coat was also speechless for a while, as if choked by his words, and just as everyone was about to see his jokes, suddenly, he suddenly said loudly: "Hey, you old man, do you dare to make a bet with me, I bet that Chu Ling is the champion of this year, if I lose, then I will be at your disposal." ”

"Haha...... Okay, the old man will bet with you, if Chu Ling really wins the championship, then I will rely on you for one thing. After speaking, he raised the wine glass in his palm and laughed at the old man in the white coat: "It's still early for the game, let's drink, drink!" haha......"

Seeing that the two old men were not talking, the lobby returned to its former liveliness, and everyone began to talk about who was the champion of this alchemy competition in their hearts.

"Let's go. Just as Zhou Bo was immersed in this noisy environment, Guo Lao on the side quietly passed by him, and seeing this, Zhou Bo hurriedly followed him upstairs.

"Old Guo, do you know those two old men?" Walking to the stairs, Zhou Bo asked Guo Lao in a low voice, because he always felt that the two old men just now were very special, not like ordinary people in the market, so he asked this question.

After hearing this question, Guo Lao also looked back at the two old men and said softly, "Yes." Without waiting for Zhou Bo to ask, he said again: "Those two old men are not ordinary people, after you participate in the medicine refining competition, you will know who they are." ”

Seeing Guo Lao say this, Zhou Bo was also inconvenient to ask more, so he followed Guo Lao up to the second floor and entered the room.

"Zhou Bo, are you going to see the Medicine Refining Contest like this?" As soon as he entered the room, Guo Lao locked the door, then walked up to Zhou Bo and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Bo smiled and said, "Of course not." With that, he quickly opened the Ice Condensation Ring and pulled out the smooth disguise mask from inside.

Without speaking, Zhou Bo skillfully pasted the mask on his face under Guo Lao's surprised gaze, and then, followed by a cold feeling on his face, like countless ice water penetrating into his skin, and when this feeling gradually weakened, Zhou Bo knew that he had become another identity - that is, Zhou Ju.

"This ...... This is Zhou Ju's face?" Guo Lao looked at Zhou Bo in front of him and instantly turned into a strange person, still a little surprised, this person looked much more mature than Zhou Bo, he looked like he was twenty-three or four years old, but when it came to what he was similar to Zhou Bo, it was only those small eyes.

Zhou Bo nodded slightly, although he used this disguise mask to cover his original face at this time, but Zhou Bo still had some concerns, because his face was when he killed Jin Ye this week, and he was already wanted by the Jin family, if he met someone from the Jin family now, what would he do? And Zhou Bo thought that Yan Er had told him that the Jin family would also participate in the medicine refining competition, if he was ......

Thinking of this, Zhou Bo didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly asked Guo Lao: "Guo Lao, you said that if I am recognized by the Jin family, what should I do?"

"Hehe......" Guo Lao smiled very indifferently, and then said slowly: "This medicine refining competition is a grand event for pill pharmacists, where will the Jin family be presumptuous, don't worry, even if they recognize you as that Zhou Ju, they will wait until the end of the competition to dare to arrest you." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bo was relieved, in fact, Zhou Bo's idea was that as long as the Jin family didn't disturb him to participate in the alchemy competition, it didn't matter when he came to find him, and now when he heard that the Jin family was also afraid of this alchemy competition, Zhou Bo was of course happy.

At this time, Guo Lao said again: "After flying for a day today, you are also tired, so let's rest here first!" After speaking, he walked towards the door, and when he saw this, Zhou Bo hurriedly asked: "Guo Lao, where are you going?"

Guo Lao didn't stop, just said softly: "I'm going to find an old friend." As soon as the words fell, his figure disappeared at the door, leaving only Zhou Bo alone in the house.

When he had nothing to do, Zhou Bo took out those scrolls again, even though he had already memorized them, but now that the competition was approaching, Zhou Bo decided to watch them again, in order to consolidate the results of this month's training.

Looking at Guo Lao again, when he walked down the stairs, he found that the two white-haired old men in the hall downstairs, one white and one black, had already left, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he quickly walked out of the inn and walked towards the majestic Fanyao Mountain not far away.

Although Yaowang Town is at the foot of Fanyao Mountain, it does not border Fanyao Mountain, because there is a huge cliff in the middle, as if someone deliberately split Yaowang Town from Fanyao Mountain, and under the cliff is an extremely turbulent river, named Fenglong River, and this river also flows through many places, not only because of the fast flow speed, but also the water flow is very whirlpooled, if ordinary people fall into it, most of them have no hope of survival.

There is another point that needs to be explained, that is, the Fenglong River flows more rapidly on the other side of the Fan Medicine Mountain, blocking the Danren vein on the other side, thus forming the two wonders of the ancient southern continent of the Fan Medicine Mountain and the Danren vein.

And between Yaowang Town and Fan Yao Mountain, there is a regular ropeway connecting the two places together, because if it is not a master of Yuanying, it is difficult to cross the two places, so you must take this long ropeway into the mountain, of course, there are many people who want to go to Fan Yao Sect, they also have to take this ropeway.
