Chapter 147: Three Months
Yuwen Dai was defeated and Zhou Chen ascended to the chief position, and several days have passed since this incident.
In the past few days, in addition to Zhou Chen's fame, there is also the opening of the Heart Xuan Rebellion Sect and the Abyss Secret Realm, which has been rumored to be known to everyone in the Yanyun Sect.
According to the old man of the ape, not everyone can go to this abyss secret realm, and there will be some control over the number of places. As one of the top forces, the Yanyun Sect can have twenty-five places in the entire sect. Most of them were allocated by the real masters in the sect, and the remaining places for the disciple class were only five!
Five is already a lot, you must know that other first-class families, there are only five places in unity.
As for how these five places were obtained, what the old man said was very simple, that is, in the next three months, all disciples could challenge the ranking of elite disciples. Those in the top five can get a place to go to the Abyss Secret Realm.
Why is it limited to three months? Because the opening day of the secret realm is predicted to be someday five months later. Since the location of the secret realm is in the desert outside the Jokhang Kingdom, it is necessary to go two months in advance to have enough time to prepare.
In short, all the disciples who want to fight for the quota must complete the ranking challenge within the next three months, otherwise they will miss the abyss secret realm that can only be opened once in three hundred years.
Of course, this is no longer a concern for Zhou Chen. He was already the chief and had secured a spot.
And in these few days, no one has challenged him. This is also expected, who told him to defeat Yuwen Dai, and beat the other party so badly.
In today's disciple class, except for Yuwen Dai, there is no one who has broken through to the realm of external manifestation. Everyone else looked up to Yuwen Dai, let alone challenged Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chenle is idle, no one comes to disturb him, and he just does his own thing.
The day after defeating Yuwen Dai and replacing him as the chief, Zhou Chen went to Baicao Peak. The main reason is to find the ruler's mother-in-law to ask for some formulas, and by the way, take a look at Jia'er.
Because Xinxuan was not chased back, Mother-in-law Qi was in a very bad mood, and when she saw Zhou Chen, she had a completely black face. However, with Jia'er on the side to reconcile, Mother-in-law Qi didn't feel embarrassed, and directly threw out two formulas, and was about to send Zhou Chen away.
got what he wanted, Zhou Chen naturally didn't continue to rely on it, and he left directly happily. It's just that Jia'er was quite reluctant, and repeatedly begged Zhou Chen to see her more.
When he returned to Wu Liefeng's residence, Zhou Chen began to study the two formulas.
One of them is the formula of the eye-nourishing potion, the specific name is "Red Jade Eye Washing Water", and the main ingredient is the eyeballs of the red-eyed carp. This is the most commonly used and indispensable medicine for the eyes of the Yanyun Sect.
The second prescription is more advanced, and the medicine is called "Shentong Pill", which has a better eye-nourishing effect and greatly enhances eyesight. On the other hand, the refining of this medicine is quite difficult, mainly because the material requirements are too high, and two of the main drugs are extremely rare.
Fortunately, the material problem is basically not a problem for Zhou Chen. Because he got it from the ring of the water shark, there are multi-flavored high-grade herbs, and there is the main ingredient of the "Divine Pupil Pill" in it.
Not to mention the words of "Red Jade Eye Washing Water", the materials that Zhou Chen has can be practiced in dozens of copies. And each serving is enough for one person to use it three times. According to the frequency of ordinary people once every three days, Zhou Chen can practice the amount of use for nearly a year. It's enough for him to complete the step of raising his eyes.
The recipe is there, the materials are enough, and the rest is the refining problem.
The two recipes not only listed the required materials, but also concisely wrote down the refining process, which saved Zhou Chen a lot of trouble. With his hundreds of years of accumulated medical skills in the martial arts world, although he has not deliberately studied it, and he has not refined medicine by himself many times, he believes that he can refine medicine according to two formulas.
However, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to refine the medicine, but ran to the library again, not only got the "Dementor Eye" pupil technique that he cared about before, but also took back several books such as "Medicinal Herb Atlas" and "Pharmacist Quotations".
Of course, it was by his chief privilege that he was able to bring the books out, and they were only hand-copied copies.
In the past few days, Zhou Chen first read several books on herbal medicine and alchemy, and then directly practiced the simplest part of hypnotism in "Dementor Eye". This part does not require the strength of the eyes, and only the soul power needs to reach the standard to cultivate.
There is no doubt that Zhou Chen successfully practiced hypnosis. If he wants to cultivate in the next higher part, he must first refine medicine to nourish his eyes.
First of all, he needed a container for refining medicine, which was usually made with a special medicine pod, which was generally not cheap.
But Zhou Chen is not short of money, and among the storage jade he got by killing the white-robed son, there is a small silver box, which is full of gold and silver bricks, which is enough for Zhou Chen to spend lavishly for a while. It is enough to buy at least a good quality medicine pod.
In fact, in addition to these gold and silver, Zhou Chen has more valuable things. The rings obtained from the water shark are all rare medicinal materials, and their value is extremely high, these are all eye-raising, and Zhou Chen will not take them out. But there is another thing, that is, the glowing water that he collected when he killed the white-robed boy and saved Gu Lei's life by the way.
These glowing waters, Zhou Chen happened to recognize it when he was reading books in the past few days.
Its name is very crude, it is called "Soul Water".
I don't know what kind of mentality the person who named it in the first place, and deliberately chose this kind of name that is easy to be misunderstood.
It is not at all the kind of anti-heaven effect that brings the dead back to life, but actually works to make people with wounded souls recover quickly. No matter how seriously the soul is injured, this kind of water can be repaired, but the amount required is relatively large.
Zhou Chen didn't know how far the "soul water" he collected could go, but its value was certain.
Of course, when it comes to value, among all Zhou Chen's loot, the real value may be the piece of paper with the map drawn.
Zhou Chen had basically decided that it was the topographic map of a certain part of the Abyss Secret Realm. And the Jiang family can't only have this map, the main reason why they are so nervous is that they are afraid that others will get it, so that they will lose their advantage.
"Or, similar maps aren't just for the Jiang family?"
Zhou Chen was in his room, and after practicing for most of the day, he took out this map to study it, and at the same time, he also had a faint guess.
Bang bang bang!
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.
After Zhou Chen became the chief, his residence also changed places, and he moved to the other end of Wu Lie Peak, and he got a small independent courtyard.
"Brother Zhou, open the door, it's me!"
The one who can come to find Zhou Chen will basically only be Xuanyuan Zhe, and Xiao Bique has also been here twice. In fact, in the first two days, more people came to visit, all of them wanted to get acquainted with Zhou Chen, the new chief, but unfortunately he refused to visit.
"Come in. ”
Zhou Chen put away the map and said lightly.
Boom!
Xuanyuan Zhe vigorously pushed the door in, he held a bottle of bronze tripod in both hands, and said to Zhou Chen: "Brother Zhou, what you handed over to me is done! I will not leave you a penny according to what you said, all the gold and silver are just exchanged for this medicine tripod, how about you take a look?"
“......”
Zhou Chen didn't respond immediately, but took the medicine pod that was almost the size of a human head with one hand.
As soon as he started it, he felt a heavy weight, and he didn't need to put his nose up to smell a faint medicinal fragrance from the medicine pod.
"Hehe, how about it? This is a medicine tripod made of Xuan-level materials, he has always been Pharmacist Liu's eating guy before, and recently he got a better ground-level medicine tripod, so he changed hands, and it took me a lot of effort to get it. Moreover, it is not an easy job to transfer to Yanyun Sect in just a few days. ”
Xuanyuan Zhe smiled, making it clear that he was selling Zhou Chen's favors.
"Thank you. ”
This kind of small favor is not a matter at all in Zhou Chen's eyes, and it is also Xuanyuan Zhe's own enthusiasm, so he has to help him do it. Zhou Chen of Pharmacist Liu didn't know anything at all, but as long as he knew that the quality of this medicine tripod was good.
"And that's it!"
Hearing Zhou Chen's thanks, Xuanyuan Zhe's smile became even more obvious, and at the same time, his right hand flipped over, and there was an extra cloth bag in his hand out of thin air.
With a "clang", he loaded the cloth bag onto the table and opened it, revealing a wide leather belt and a neatly swarthy metal object inserted on it.
"Meteor Dart?"
Zhou Chen took a look and recognized what was inside, and knew at a glance that there were a total of twenty-four meteor darts in it.
"That's right, it's a meteor dart!"
Xuanyuan Zhe smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, didn't you still ask me to stop by and help you bring back some hidden weapon flying knives and the like?" I remembered that my family just had a set of high-grade meteor darts, so I asked them to come over together when they sent the medicine ding. ”
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zhe pushed the cloth bag forward slightly, and said, "You and my brother, the two heroes of the Yanyun Sect, should help each other! I haven't given Brother Zhou a meeting gift yet, so don't be polite to me with this set of meteor darts." ”
Xuanyuan Zhe mentioned the Yanyun Sect again, although it was funny, but in fact, this name really spread among some people. Of course, all thanks to Xuanyuan Zhe. On the second day after Zhou Chen became the chief, Xuanyuan Zhe also drew gourds in the same way, starting from three hundred and challenging all the way up.
After playing nearly ten games in a row, Xuanyuan Zhe was undefeated and finally locked in third place. The second place is another genius of the Yuwen family, Xuanyuan Zhe's martial soul ability was restrained by the Yan Demon Pupil, so he didn't continue to challenge, also to preserve his strength.
As for Yuwen Dai, who was defeated by Zhou Chen, he was naturally kicked out of the ranking list, and he had to challenge again in order to regain his ranking. The same goes for the other people who lose in the challenge, they will not move back one place if they lose, but will be kicked out of the rankings and need to fight all the way back.
Xuanyuan Zhe released his words after locking in the third place, claiming that he and Zhou Chen were a duo, called Yanyun Sect and the two heroes, and others were welcome to challenge.
As a result, no one ever challenged him. But the name of the Yanyun Sect was spread by some people who thought it was funny.
"Meteor dart is good. ”
Zhou Chen didn't correct this ugly title again, but after glancing at this set of meteor darts a few times, he unceremoniously accepted the gift.
This is indeed a great gift. Xuanyuan Zhe said that this set of meteor darts is grade-level, which means that it is yellow-level. Although it is ranked last in the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, it is actually very valuable, and if an ordinary martial artist can have a yellow-level weapon, he can no longer be ordinary, and he can stand out from the bottom.
Moreover, this is a complete set of yellow-level secret weapons.
Few people are willing to use the materials of the hidden weapon to cast, let alone a complete set of twenty-four pieces. If you really want to talk about value, compared to ordinary Xuan-level weapons, not only will it not be worse, but it will also be better than it. After all, the number is there, and no one will exchange twenty-four yellow-level weapons for a Xuan-level one outside, which is a big loss.
"I've taken the things, it's okay, you can go. ”
With Yaoding, Zhou Chen can really start researching the formula and refining the medicine. There is also a complete set of meteor darts, and Zhou Chen also needs to take the time to practice it with the "Yin and Yang Sacrifice Treasure Formula". So he didn't have the time to accompany Xuanyuan Zhe.
"Don't be so cold, Brother Zhou, look at the sky, it's almost time to eat, why don't we go to the cafeteria together?"
Xuanyuan Zhe was accustomed to Zhou Chen's attitude, and he was very comfortable and enthusiastic about it.
"Okay, let's go to dinner together. ”
Zhou Chen was not unkind, he looked out the window and saw that it was indeed meal time, so he agreed to Xuanyuan Zhe's proposal.
In fact, the independent courtyard of elite disciples can apply for one or two servants to serve. If you don't want to go out, just let someone cook it. However, Zhou Chen chose to live alone, and Xuanyuan Zhe was the same, according to the latter, it was most refreshing to eat on order in the cafeteria.
......
In this way, three months passed quickly.
During this period, after the great competition of the sect, there were also fierce elite disciples who challenged the rankings, and finally decided the top five, who could get the qualification to enter the secret realm of the abyss.
Zhou Chen's ranking has not moved, and he firmly occupies the chief position. Almost no one challenged him in three months, and he really didn't dare. And occasionally there are a few challengers who want to use Zhou Chen to become famous, but Zhou Chen directly ignores them. Anyway, according to the rules, Zhou Chen must only take the challenge of second place, and everyone else can ignore it.
The second place below Zhou Chen is Yuwen Dai. After he experienced a painful defeat, he didn't challenge Zhou Chen again, relying on the absolute strength of the external realm after recovering from his injury, he swept all the way to second place, and then he didn't continue to go up. I don't know if I am really willing to succumb to Zhou Chen, or I am holding my breath, wanting to wait for some opportunity in the future to be ashamed again.
It is worth mentioning that when Yuwen Dai fought all the way, he also deliberately challenged Xuanyuan Zhe, but the latter was very sleek and directly admitted defeat. And then it hit back to third place again.
Then came the fourth place, which surprised many people, it was actually Yan Ling, who was ranked seventh before, and was later defeated by Zhou Chen. This person has never broken through the realm of unity, but is just a soul condensing martial artist, relying on his special martial soul ability and superb martial arts, and ranks among the top ten elite disciples. But on the night after the battle with Zhou Chen, he actually broke through! and then he hit the fourth place like a bamboo, and then he didn't continue.
Finally, the fifth place, which is also surprising, is actually Yuwen Li. It is said that after he lost to Zhou Chen in seconds, he went back and asked the family for a ground-level weapon, and the Yuwen family hid it deeply, so he really took out another one and gave it to Yuwen Li. Then he squeezed out another genius of the Yuwen family and got the final spot.
The five places of the disciple class are locked, and the twenty places at the top have long been secretly decided. As soon as the three-month period arrived, the old man of the heart ape announced his departure.
Travel to the desert outside of the Jokhang Kingdom, the ultimate goal, the secret realm of the abyss!
