Chapter 163: Old and Immortal Eventually Becomes a Demon

The girl is gone.

Leave a "guess" and escape from the door. Shangguan Zhengtian didn't stop her, and the identity of a person who can act willfully in such a place no longer needs to be suspected.

Shangguan Zhengtian didn't go to the bottom of it, for him, it was good to go. He closed the doors and windows, sat on the couch, there was still some time before dawn, and Shangguan Zhengtian was ready to cultivate to the best.

The candlelight flickered even harder, and finally shook and wrote it down, and finally it was extinguished unwillingly.

It didn't take long for a glimmer of light to shine between the heavens and the earth.

Knock knock, a knock on the door woke Shangguan Zhengtian up. He straightened his clothes as he walked towards the door.

"Shangguan Gongzi, today's competition is a little early, do you want to go over earlier?" A girl dressed as a maidservant outside the door was respectful.

"Hmm. Shangguan Zhengtian nodded.

"Childe waits for a while, and the slave prepares your washing things. The maidservant bowed slightly and went out of the courtyard, and it didn't take long to bring a basin of hot water.

Shangguan Zhengtian washed his face slightly, and the maidservant led him out of the courtyard. The courtyards overlap, and it's easy for people who don't come often to get lost. The maid was obviously familiar with the layout of this place, and took Shangguan Zhengtian to a palace in a twist and turn.

"Shangguan Gongzi, the follow-up competition will continue here, and the slave and maid can't go in, so they are waiting for the son here. The maidservant stopped talking, and stepped aside.

Shangguan Zhengtian looked at this temple, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and then he walked up the stairs.

Nine steps of steps, nine steps on each floor, this is the highest point of Qingyuan Mountain, looking to the east, it seems to be level with the rising sun. There were already some people inside, and when they heard footsteps, they looked over together, and when they found out that the person who came was not the alchemist who participated in the competition, they each withdrew their gaze.

Shangguan Zhengtian glanced at it and found that all the alchemists were there, and each of them had a Dan furnace in front of them, and they were talking to the people around them while warming the fire. Listening to the words of those people, the results of the previous competition have come out, and there are only ten people participating in the second competition.

At this time, someone from outside the hall came again, and Shangguan Zhengtian looked up and saw that it was Chen Yuning. Chen Yuning couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Shangguan Zhengtian, but he was quickly covered by a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and each staggered. At this time, there are already ten alchemists in the hall, if the things mentioned by the previous people are true, then the alchemists here have already arrived. However, not only did the competition not start, but even the great elders and disciples of the Chiyang Sect did not appear.

There were footsteps outside the hall again, sparsely, and the next moment three people appeared at the door.

Bai Yanzhi walked in with a joke with a person Shangguan Zhengtian didn't know, and Mu Liangheng followed. The three of them glanced at the situation in the hall, and after Bai Yanzhi saw Shangguan Zhengtian, he pulled the person next to him and walked over.

"This is Shangguan Zhengtian, the future lord of Kowloon City, whom I mentioned to you earlier. Bai Yanzhi led the man to Shangguan Zhengtian and introduced him to the man with a solemn face.

Before Shangguan Zhengtian could make an expression, Bai Yanzhi pointed his palm at the person beside him and said to Shangguan Zhengtian: "This is Han Yun, from the Qingying Sect, one of the nine factions, although he doesn't know alchemy, he knows pharmacology well. ”

Shangguan Zhengtian clenched his fists when he heard this: "Han Daoyou." ”

The man had a smile on his face, and immediately returned a salute: "Shangguan Daoyou." ”

With a squeak, the door of the side hall was opened, and the Great Elder of the Chiyang Sect walked out of it, followed by Li Shouyu.

"This is the seat of the guests, and a few friends don't have to stand. The old man pointed to the seats on both sides and said to Shangguan Zhengtian with a smile.

"Thank you Great Elder for the reminder. ”

Several people bowed slightly to the old man and sat down in turn, and there was a spirit fruit wine on the table, but no one cared about this. Oh, except for Kiji. Everyone was looking at the old man sitting in the middle.

The old man waved his hand: "There are still a few little friends who have not yet arrived, let's talk about something casually first." ”

The old man cleared his throat and said, "A lot of people are speculating about how long I have to live. I've lived for more than 2,000 years, which isn't a long time, but because of the wounds in my early years, the end is approaching. It's a pity, I don't have a disciple, and the experience I have gained for more than 2,000 years on the way to alchemy is no one to teach, so I have to hold the current Dan meeting. ”

"You covet my heritage, and I envy your youth and talent. More than 1,000 people, 10 of you are very good, if you really want me to pick a good one, it really makes me embarrassed. ”

The old man paused for a moment, as if speaking was a laborious matter: "It took me a long time to write down a piece of experience in the Chiyang Sect. Speaking of this, the old man smirked, "Of course, I also have a few copies here. The next thing, anyone who does it well, can take a copy from me. ”

While the old man was talking, people came in from outside one after another, and not long after, ten alchemists and nine invitation holders all arrived in the temple.

The old man continued: "It has always been rumored that I have a magic medicine in possession, and many people should have come here for this. ”

Glancing around the hall, the old man whispered, "Everyone is together." Then he looked at Li Shouyu. Li Shouyu nodded slightly, got up and went to the side hall. Everyone's eyes rested on the hidden door of the side hall. It didn't take long for the door to open again, and Li Shouyu walked out of it with a cold ice jade box in his hand, and the vast white air blurred the appearance of the jade box.

Li Shouyu opened the jade box and handed it to the old man, the old man first shrunk his sleeves, and then took out a ginseng-like root and seedling from it, which was ordinary, the top was broken, and the fracture was full of purple glow.

"The rumors are true, it was also to snatch this purple ginseng back then, and he caused a fatal disaster, although he avoided it, but it also hurt the foundation. The old man didn't care about everyone's fiery eyes, as if he was trapped in a memory, and sighed: "Purple ginseng can continue life, but unfortunately this is half a plant, and it is useless to me." ”

The old man put the purple ginseng back into the jade box, looked at the ten alchemists, and said, "Don't mention it, I encountered some strange recipes in the early years, and the difficulty is appropriate. That's how the second round of the competition begins. ”

As soon as the Great Elder of the Chiyang Sect finished speaking, Li Shouyu stood up and distributed the pills and medicinal materials to the ten people.

After the ten people took the Dan Fang, they all studied it carefully, some laughed, and some frowned.

The Dan furnace has already been heated, and some people have already started to do it. Li Shouyu looked at the ten people below, but he knew that these ten pills were different, and he couldn't help but ask the Great Elder with a worried face: "Let them do it, is there really no problem?"

"There are enough three herbs, and they won't have a problem. "The old man doesn't care.

Shangguan Zhengtian on the side was thinking about how to get that half of the purple ginseng, this old man's time was short, except for the life-saving elixir, there was very little to impress him. The Golden Spirit Holy Fruit might be able to add a few years to the old man's life, but he couldn't take out this kind of thing. There is only one fruit tree in the great wilderness in the whole world, and if others know about it, it will only be troublesome.

"Shangguan Daoyou, I see you with a sad face, but what's the matter?" asked Han Yun on the side.

"I came here after hearing rumors, and now I have seen a miracle medicine, but I don't know how to exchange it with him. ”

"That's a nerve-wracking thing. Han Yun smiled and didn't say anything more.

The Ten Ding Dan furnaces in the middle were all lit up, and the ten alchemists had already started refining the medicine.

"This Dan Fang is really weird, it's all irrelevant things, can it really be mixed together?" Chen Yuning thought about what was recorded in the Dan Fang, his heart was full of doubts, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all.

A stick of incense was fleeting, and someone wanted to leave, and the old man smiled: "Little friend, don't you want to know the ownership of that half of the elixir?"

After all, it was the face of the miracle medicine, and as soon as this remark came out, everyone no longer felt bored, and they all sat back in their chairs honestly.

The ten people in the center are all talents from one in a hundred, even so, in the face of this strange Dan Fang, they are also in a hurry, someone sighed, and the nine spectators knew that the person's hard work was exhausted.

The man cleaned up the Dan furnace, thought about it, and put the medicinal herbs into it again, and the two were concentrated like never before, and the furnace was on fire.

The man's defeat was like a signal, and several of the others sighed one after another, and only two out of ten did not start the fire.

Chen Yuning calmed down the distracting thoughts in his heart and excluded the external objects from the six senses, but despite this, he still failed. The other person failed almost at the same time as him, and the man glanced at Chen Yuning and turned on the fire again.

"It should be softer. Chen Yuning thought like this in his heart, and immediately disposed of the Dan furnace, and the flame was rekindled.

Ten pill furnaces burned for a day and a night, and the ten pills finally gathered around the old man, and the old man looked at the pills, overjoyed, and the wrinkles on his face also stretched.

"The ten of you are all rare alchemy geniuses. The old man praised the ten.

"I wonder what the Great Elder meant by mentioning the ownership of that divine medicine before?" Han Yun asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly. The old man was very excited, and his spirit was much fuller, "Back then, I met a strange pill prescription, this prescription is not to save people, not to harm people, but to promote the growth of elixir. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the spectators were a little better, and the ten alchemists also looked at the pill in their hands as if they were seeing gods.

"That's right, I've scattered the Dan Fang, and the Fang you have in your hands is part of it. The old man laughed, "But the recipe of the ten of you is not complete when gathered, this recipe can be guided by blood, if the essence blood of nine young talents is used as a guide, the magic medicine repair must be expected!"

At this time, the old man had half a minute of twilight, and his breath filled the temple, as strong as a wild beast.

"Old fellow, you have half a leg in the dirt, can you beat the nine of us?" Mu Liangheng stood up.

At this time, the seats behind the nine people suddenly shot out thousands of lights, and one by one magic circles emerged from them, trying to trap everyone. At the same time, more filaments appeared, winding towards several people.

These nine people were selected by the old man, and none of them were mediocre people, how did these tricks trap them? In just a few breaths, the nine benches were shattered into a pile of firewood.

At this time, Shangguan Zhengtian suddenly felt a pain in his chest, stretched out his hand to tear off his clothes, and just saw that the invitation turned into a golden worm that was gnawing on his chest, and just as Shangguan Zhengtian was about to grab it, the worm turned into a streamer and disappeared into the wound.

A sense of powerlessness surfaced in his heart, and Shangguan Zhengtian's figure flickered, and he immediately fell to the ground. The eight people on the left and right also fell together.

"Nine fellow Daoists, how many have been offended. Li Shouyu walked over, still so polite, "In the future, my Chiyang Sect will compensate accordingly." ”

"It can make people's aura disperse by itself, and they have no strength at all, isn't this the rumored golden silk killing Gu?" Bai Yanzhi looked at Li Shouyu.

"I don't know any of that. Li Shouyu shook his head.

"Nine clan forces, you Chiyang Sect can really afford to offend!" Mu Liangheng sneered.
