When people arrived, the sound of the piano sounded.

After Duan Chongyu took his seat, the group of people slowly sat down, looking very respectful.

Under Lin Guanqi's push and pull, Ye Chen also stepped into the Huxin Pavilion, seeing this scene, Fang Han's eyes were full of coldness, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.

Anyone can see that after what he said just now, Duan Chongyu obviously didn't want to dwell on this matter, if Fang Han caused another incident, it would only provoke Duan Chongyu's displeasure, which would affect his fight for the throne, which was an extremely unwise move.

"Ye Chen, why do you always stare at Murong Xue, could it be that you have a sense of admiration?" Lin Guanqi noticed Ye Chen's gaze and quipped.

Ye Chen was speechless, rolled his eyes and said, "I just feel strange, Murong Xue is the young palace master of the Crystal Palace, why would he accompany Old Man Duan, and from the relationship between the two, it seems to be extremely intimate." ”

Looking at the center, Murong Xue sat beside Duan Chongyu, the two of them spoke casually, without any sense of restraint, looking like their grandson.

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Old Man Duan has a great relationship with the palace master of the Crystal Palace, and Murong Xue is the young palace master of the Crystal Palace, and he has been cultivating the art of Dan with Old Master Duan since he was a child, so the relationship is naturally very good. ”

"I see. Ye Chen suddenly suddenly.

At this time, the feast officially began.

The people of the royal family were the first to come out, followed by the disciples of the Wang clan, and finally it was the turn of the disciples of the sect, and everyone stepped forward one after another to send blessings to Duan Chongyu.

And after these etiquettes were over, Fang Han couldn't wait, and said with a smile: "Since the etiquette is over, according to the rules, it should be everyone's turn to present the birthday gift to Master Duan." ”

"Second prince, you are so active this time, could it be that you have prepared something good and want to take the lead?" Murong Xue smiled faintly, but her tone was neither salty nor light.

"I can't say that I am the leader, but I just had a little adventure during this time and got a heavy treasure. ”

Hearing Fang Han's words, the faces of the other princes were a little ugly, especially Fang Yi, whose faces were shrouded in a look of helplessness, and he sighed slightly.

"Why don't you see Fang Li?"

At this time, Duan Chongyu suddenly spoke, his gaze slowly swept over, and finally landed on Fang Yi's body.

Fang Yi responded: "Now that the imperial dynasty is in turmoil outside the borders, it must be that the eldest brother is impacting a higher realm, so he will be absent from Master Duan's birthday, and I ask Master Duan not to blame." ”

A higher realm?

There was an exclamation from the crowd, many people knew that Fang Li had stepped into the Nine Heavens Realm of the True Dao a few years ago, and if he wanted to impact a higher realm, it would only be the legendary Saint Dao realm.

It's such an amazing talent, it's terrifying.

Duan Chongyu nodded, then closed his eyes and said no more.

In the center, Murong Xue Dai's eyebrows moved slightly, and said with a smile: "Since the second prince mentioned it, then we will come according to the old rules, each family will present birthday gifts, and after all the congratulatory gifts are put away, let Master Duan personally select three pieces and list them as the top three, and the three people who have obtained the top three positions can ask Master Duan a question in person, but this year's rules have changed slightly, and the person who is the leader, in addition to being able to ask questions, can also get a five-grade pill refined by Master Duan himself." ”

"What?" the crowd below was glazed over.

No one would doubt Duan Chongyu's terrifying attainments on the way to the Dan Dao, the five-grade pill he refined was enough to plunge the entire imperial city into madness, and even the princes showed a look of longing.

Fang Han's heart moved, his face was happy, he had gotten some news in advance, so he had made very full preparations for this birthday celebration, and he was bound to win the position of leader this time.

"It's too bad, the second brother must be prepared. ”

Noticing the excitement that couldn't be hidden between Fang Han's eyebrows, Fang Yi's face became even more ugly.

Although he has a wide network in the Imperial City, there is still a big gap compared to Fang Han, and the leader of this congratulatory gift can also get a precious five-grade pill.

Thinking of this, he also sighed a few times again and again, and his heart was extremely unwilling.

Ye Chen didn't care about this, he came in a hurry, and he didn't prepare any congratulatory gifts, at this time, he looked in the direction of Duan Chongyu, who still had his eyes closed, as if he was deaf to the fanatical atmosphere in the field.

When Ye Chen's eyes swept past, Duan Chongyu suddenly opened his eyes, and in that deep gaze, it seemed that a ray of essence had passed by, if there was nothing, but it was full of mysteries.

Ye Chen smiled, nodded slightly, and then looked away.

"This Ye Chen, it's a bit interesting. ”

Duan Chongyu had some curiosity in his heart, when he stared at the young man in front of him just now, he deliberately urged a trace of soul power, however, the other party didn't seem to have any pressure at all, and after his eyes touched, he moved away with great ease, as if he hadn't heard it.

He hadn't encountered such a strange thing for a long time, especially since the other party was just a young man with the Triple Heaven of Truth, which seemed a little incredible to him.

Ye Chen didn't know about Duan Chongyu's doubts, and at this time, his eyes were on the center of the pavilion.

"Master Duan, student Fang Han, recently unintentionally entered an ancient cave mansion, and occasionally got a black magic tripod, this tripod, it is said to rank seventh among the top ten Dan Ding, if you use this Ding to refine the Dan, when you tie the Dan, it will automatically emit a colorful glow, giving birth to a hundred zhang Dan clouds, which is of great help to the alchemy, I would like to dedicate this Ding to Duan Shi, I hope Duan Shi can climb the peak of Dan Dao again. ”

"Black Demon Ding?" Fang Yi's heart twitched, and for a moment his mouth was filled with bitterness.

The name of the Top Ten Dandings, he had heard Duan Chongyu mention it more than once, it can be seen that Duan Chongyu longed for the Top Ten Dandings, and now, Fang Han actually found the Black Magic Ding, one of the top ten Dandings, as a congratulatory gift, which can be said to have fulfilled one of Duan Chongyu's wishes.

Fang Han handed over the Black Demon Ding, he was also in high spirits, only to see him standing in the middle of the field, observing everyone's reactions, and enjoying the feeling of being watched very much.

Especially when he looked at Fang Yi, he raised his head arrogantly, the contempt in his eyes, anyone could clearly feel that he Fang Han was going to compare Fang Yi to him, and then stomp on his feet fiercely.

Fang Yi sighed again, he knew that he had completely lost this time, but after all, it was a birthday, so he had to go up hard.

The congratulatory gift he prepared is a dragon and phoenix jade pendant, the dragon and phoenix sing together, containing the meaning of yin and yang, plus this jade is a rare good jade, with the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, as a birthday gift, it is also extremely precious.

It's just that compared to Fang Han's Dark Demon Ding, this jade pendant is 108,000 miles behind, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

Subsequently, people sent congratulatory gifts one after another, all of which were rare treasures, but without exception, they were all black magic tripods that were not as good as Shang Han, which made Fang Han very proud, and in his eyes, it seemed that he had already seen the picture of himself winning the top spot, which was very arrogant.

The crowd was also well aware of this, and when they presented the congratulatory gift, they only said it lightly, because they knew that the person who was the leader this time must belong to Fang Han.

Congratulatory gifts were sent one after another, and the last person retreated.

I saw Fang Han suddenly stand up, looked at Ye Chen with pity, and deliberately raised his voice: "Ye Chen, everyone has presented congratulatory gifts before and after, why do you still not make any moves, have you never taken Master Duan's birthday banquet to heart from beginning to end, so you have never prepared a congratulatory gift?"

"Never prepared a congratulatory gift?"

Fang Han's words were like a thunderbolt, making the hearts of the crowd tremble suddenly, and they looked at Ye Chen in a daze.

In the imperial city, who doesn't know that today is Duan Chongyu's birthday, not to mention, Ye Chen was outside the Huxin Pavilion just now, and he also got Duan Chongyu's initiative to invite, if he didn't even prepare a congratulatory gift, this would not give Duan Chongyu face at all, and he didn't take him to heart.

The second prince's faction, many people showed a look of banter, they had long been very unhappy with Ye Chen, but because of Duan Chongyu's appreciation of Ye Chen, they didn't dare to take the initiative to ridicule at all, but now that Fang Han took the initiative to speak, they were also not stingy with their indifferent eyes, and they sneered out loud.

Murong Xue was smart, and at a glance she could see that Fang Han was targeting Ye Chen, and said with a light smile: "The so-called congratulatory gift is nothing more than having fun, and Master Duan doesn't want everyone to prepare." ”

Fang Han's eyes suddenly turned cold, why did this Murong Xue go out to help Ye Chen break the siege?

"The Lord of Murong Palace is right, Master Duan is highly respected, so naturally he won't care about these little things, and besides, I suddenly invited Ye Chen to come to Huxin Pavilion, he was in a hurry for a while, and forgot to prepare a congratulatory gift, which is also a normal thing. ”

Fang Yi immediately played a round, but heard Fang Han sneer again: "The day of Master Duan's birthday is not trivial, this represents the face of our royal family, third brother, you suddenly invited an irrelevant person, and even forgot to prepare a congratulatory gift, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid that your father's side, you won't be able to explain it." ”

These words are half-truths and half-truths, but they directly oppress Fang Yi.

Fang Yi gritted his teeth and turned his head to look, only to see that Duan Chongyu's eyes were still slightly closed, without any response, which made Fang Han feel even more proud in his heart, with a frivolous meaning in his eyes, staring at Ye Chen deadly.

"Congratulatory gifts, on behalf of the heart, ancient have been known as polite and affectionate, but some people, in order to get the name of the leader, deliberately use forgeries as a façade, trying to deceive Master Duan with falsehood, such behavior is the real loss of the face of the royal family. ”

A voice that seemed to be laughing sounded, and the person who spoke was Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, it's just that you didn't prepare a congratulatory gift, and you slandered the second prince, what do you mean?"

"It's none of your business here, shut up for me. ”

Ye Chen turned his head, his eyes were cold, and he immediately made Hu Yangtie angry, and he was about to refute it, but he heard Fang Leng say indifferently: "Elder Hu, don't be excited, since Ye Chen said that the Black Demon Ding I presented is a forgery, we might as well listen to what basis he has." ”

"Okay, I'll just watch how the kid reverses black and white. Hu Yangtie sneered, he didn't believe Ye Chen's nonsense.

The crowd also cast curious eyes, and even Duan Chongyu, who was closed and meditating, opened his eyes.

As a sixth-level alchemist, Duan Chongyu's attainments in the Dan Dao can be said to be the pinnacle, and at the moment when the Black Demon Ding appeared, he could determine that this thing must be genuine, whether it is from the craftsmanship of the Ding body or the strong ancient atmosphere, it cannot be a forgery.

However, Ye Chen was so determined, which made him have a strong interest.

Ye Chen didn't answer immediately, but drank a glass of wine, and then put the wine glass down: "Dare to ask the second prince, have you ever used the Black Demon Ding to refine the elixir?"

"Of course. Fang Han immediately replied: "Since I got the Black Demon Ding, I have invited countless famous masters to authenticate its authenticity, and I have also personally opened the furnace to alchemy to test its effectiveness, otherwise, how do I know that the Black Demon Ding will swallow the colorful glow and give birth to a hundred zhang Dan clouds?"

Fang Han's answer was very ingenious.

On the one hand, he affirmed in words that the Black Devil Ding was genuine, and on the other hand, he also said that he had appraised it many times, and even personally used the Black Devil Ding to refine the elixir, both of which showed how much he valued this congratulatory gift and showed his respect for Master Duan.

"Hehe, it seems that the second prince really has ulterior motives. Ye Chen smiled faintly, and then his words changed suddenly, and he said indifferently: "But who said that the medicine tripod that can swallow the colorful glow and give birth to a hundred zhang danyun is the black devil tripod?"

The contemptuous voice fell, making everyone in the audience stunned, and their eyes involuntarily fell on Ye Chen's body.

I saw Ye Chen walk in front of Fang Han, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his voice came out slowly: "The most mysterious thing about the ten ancient Danding is not the materials and craftsmanship it uses, but at the time of casting, it was sealed into ten ancient beasts by the supreme powerhouse, and the soul of the strange beast was used as the basis for alchemy, so that the pill would have abnormal changes and cause a vision of heaven and earth. ”

"Nonsense, it's all your random words. ”

Fang Leng sneered, he had checked countless ancient books, and he had never heard such a statement, but at the moment when his words fell, a gust of wind blew suddenly, and before he could react, he saw Duan Chongyu standing in front of him, staring at him with an indifferent look.

This look was very cold, making Fang Han feel like falling into an ice cellar.

"Ye Chen, you go on. ”

"Yes"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and continued: "The reason why the Black Devil Ding is called the name of the Black Devil is because it is sealed with an ancient beast called the Black Devil Snow Tiger, this strange beast was born in the extreme north, the whole body is pitch black, but the limbs are snow-white, when it roars, it will attract endless wind and snow, and it will be frozen for thousands of miles, so when the Black Devil Ding is used to form a pill, it will escape endless cold air, and the refined pill will also contain a trace of coldness, which can stabilize the mind and calm the mind, so that the cultivator will not have the slightest distraction. ”

From the memory of the strong man, Ye Chen absorbed countless knowledge about the Dan Dao, including the information about the Ten Dan Ding, and at a glance, he knew that this Black Demon Ding was true or false.

"There is no basis for what you say, no one present has ever owned the top ten Danding, what way do you have to prove that you are telling the truth?"

Speaking of this, Duan Chongyu looked at Ye Chen's gaze, and there was no longer that sense of looking down, he just looked at it so flatly, and said in a consultative tone.

In this regard, the eyes of everyone present have already become extremely dull.

Murong Xue was the only one, smiling, looking at this scene lightly, she was no longer surprised by the miracle created by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen pointed to the Black Devil Ding on the table, and said lightly: "Since the Ten Great Dan Ding is an ancient thing, and it has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, it must be able to resist extremely powerful attacks, and I also ask Master Duan to hand over the Black Demon Ding to me, let me try it, and naturally I can know the true and false results." ”

"Danding is a valuable thing, not to mention the top ten Danding, Ye Chen, I think you just want to make it bad in secret, so as to slander the second prince. ”

As soon as Hu Yangtie's words were finished, an invisible force roared in, knocking his entire person out, and after crossing an arc in mid-air, he fell into the lake.

"Who's going to do it!"

Hu Yangtie rushed out of the lake, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he was met with a pair of indifferent eyes full of majesty.

"If you dare to interrupt Ye Chen's speech again, I will make you regret coming to this world. ”

The cold words came out of Duan Chongyu's mouth, causing Hu Yangtie's entire body to stiffen, and his back was already wet, and there was nothing else in his head except fear.

"Xue'er, hand the Black Devil Ding to Ye Chen. ”

Murong Xue immediately nodded, took down the Black Demon Ding, and carefully handed it to Ye Chen.

Taking over the Black Devil Ding, Ye Chen first closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a strange purple light suddenly swept by, as if he had examined the Danding in his hand thoroughly.

"Broken"

With a soft drink, Ye Chen's finger lightly clicked on the Danding.

In an instant—

The entire Lake Pavilion was silent, only a cracking sound suddenly came out.

Danding, broken.

Heavy fragments, falling to the ground.

At the same time, it also made Fang Han's heart fall to the bottom, and the smile on his face became extremely stiff, as if he was satirizing his stupidity.

The top ten Dandings, with such a great reputation, are categorically impossible to be destroyed so easily.

Whether this Danding is a black magic tripod or not, everyone already has an answer in their hearts.

"Master Duan forgives sins!"

Fang Han hurriedly spoke, this dead silence made people feel that the oppressive atmosphere was suddenly broken, but in the Huxin Pavilion, everyone's faces were full of helplessness, Fang Han actually lied that this tripod was a black devil tripod, and also took it as a gift for Duan Chongyu's birthday, and now that it was exposed by Ye Chen, he no longer had the slightest face to speak of.

"Forgiveness?" Ye Chen sneered: "Second prince, your words seem to be a little serious. ”

"The top ten Danding, is an ancient curiosity, there are few records in ancient books, and the people who have seen it are even rarer, you mistakenly regard this Ding as a black magic tripod, and it is only because you are eager to please Master Duan, so you forget to carefully identify its authenticity, so as to make such a stupid mistake, laughing and generous. ”

Slapping his face, Ye Chen's words were like a slap in the face, slapping Fang Han's face hard, but Fang Han's desire to win made him a laughing stock for everyone.

Fang Han's face turned blue and purple for a while, and he was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't spit out a word to refute.

Ding, it's fake.

This is a fact and cannot be changed.

And Ye Chen is the one who knows the truth of Danding, and what he says is the truth and irrefutable.

Therefore, Fang Han could only endure and silently endure Ye Chen's ridicule, which was his own sin.

"That's it. ”

At this moment, Duan Chongyu sighed and said with a little disappointment: "The Ten Great Dan Dings, you can meet but not seek, Fang Han, you mistakenly regard this Ding as the Black Demon Ding, which is also understandable, but what Ye Chen said is extremely true, you have evil thoughts in your heart and try to suppress Fang Yi, it really disappoints me, after the banquet is over, you will go to the Ice Heart Cliff to reflect on the mistakes you have made." ”

"Students listen to Master Duan's teachings. Fang Han bowed in response, but those eyes were full of coldness, and he glared at Ye Chen fiercely.

However, compared to Fang Han's anger, more people in the pavilion were secretly happy.

The Danding presented by Fang Han was shattered, and naturally, he missed this congratulatory gift competition, in other words, everyone not only had one less rival, but also one more top three.

But just when everyone was lucky, Ye Chen smiled softly and said lightly: "Old man Duan, today is your birthday, the kid really forgot to prepare a congratulatory gift, if you don't care, the kid is willing to send a few clumsy words, and I hope you don't blame." ”

"Words?"

The crowd's eyebrows were furrowed, Ye Chen actually wanted to send a few words to Duan Chongyu? Didn't he know that Duan Chongyu not only had great attainments in the Dan Dao, but also had extremely high achievements in Mobao writing, and he wanted to send words to Duan Chongyu, wasn't this an axe in front of Lu Ban?

However, Ye Chen didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes, he took out the four treasures of the study, held his breath, concentrated, and saw the tip of the pen swaying wantonly on the rice paper, and within a moment, nine big characters were written.

The pill of plain heart, the focus is not on art.

The word is not a good word, it can only be regarded as neat, and there is nothing brilliant about it.

Even some people have made a faint laugh, such a word, even the pen Zhai disdains it, let alone a calligrapher like Duan Chongyu.

Seeing this, Murong Xue's lips opened slightly, and she smiled faintly: "The things of congratulatory gifts are important in the heart, and in the end, Master Duan will evaluate them." ”

Seeing that Murong Xue took this thing lightly, Fang Han's face was even more gloomy, this was the second time Murong Xue had helped Ye Chen speak, so direct, the partiality in it could be clearly felt by everyone.

"No need to"

Duan Chongyu suddenly spoke, shocking everyone.

Fang Han was ecstatic in his heart, you Ye Chen, you made sarcastic remarks about me just now, and now you are asking for hardship and writing such a clumsy calligraphy and painting as a gift, it is really stupid, even Master Duan is so impatient, I think your good days are coming to an end.

Duan Chongyu stepped forward, and unexpectedly, he didn't get angry, let alone scold, but made a move that stunned everyone.

He folded his hands and bowed slightly to Ye Chen.

"How do you know about my troubles?" Duan Chongyu raised his head, his eyes filled with doubt.

Ye Chen paused and replied: "Master Duan is an alchemy master, and his Dan skills are unparalleled, but when you came today, there was a faint fire on your body, if it was normal, this fire was normal, after all, it was the root of the alchemist, however, I was still in this fire, smelling the smell of Suxin grass, naturally, I also knew your troubles." ”

When the crowd heard this, their doubts were even greater, only Murong Xue and Duan Chongyu had a look of surprise on their faces.

Ye Chen continued: "Suxin Qingling Pill is an extremely unique elixir, the spiritual materials it requires are extremely harsh, and the refining process is also extremely cumbersome, however, in this refining process, the most important thing is the word Suxin, the heart, that is, the heart, that is, the tranquility, only if you are not impatient, and have a degree of stability, can you appreciate the mystery of the Danfang, this trace of fire, is precisely the failure of Master Duan." ”

Groov!

Duan Chongyu took a step back, his pupils constricted, and the essence in his eyes continued, as if he had found a completely new realm, there were surprises, doubts, and indescribable ecstasy.

I saw him suddenly raise his head and burst into a hearty laugh.

The laughter soared through the entire lake, and could still be heard clearly even from miles away.

"I see, I understand, I finally understand. ”

Duan Chongyu's voice was so excited, he looked at the nine big characters written by Ye Chen, his lips rolled up and down, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be venting the depression in his heart, and in the end, his whole person rose up, his body swept away, and it turned into a streamer, disappearing from everyone's field of vision in an instant.

This scene came too suddenly.

Even Murong Xue was a little overwhelmed, but she knew why Duan Chongyu had acted like this, and she was excited about it in her heart.

She turned her head, looked at the crowd full of doubts, and said with a smile: "Master Duan occasionally has an understanding, once this trip goes, I don't know how long it will take to get out of the customs, as for this congratulatory gift competition, it will come to an end for the time being, and after Master Duan leaves the customs, I will make a careful evaluation." ”

The crowd was slightly shocked, Duan Chongyu looked at Ye Chen's calligraphy and paintings, and after listening to Ye Chen's words, he immediately understood, could it be that it was all because of Ye Chen's contributions?

If this is the case, wouldn't the shoddy nine characters be rated as the leader?

"The matter of congratulatory gifts, it is mainly a thought, now that Master Duan has understood, this congratulatory gift review, it is better to forget it" Fang Han also felt this, and immediately spoke.

"Whether it is counted or not, it is not your turn to decide, now that Master Duan is leaving, this banquet will naturally be stopped, and the second prince will be asked to leave first." ”

Murong Xue said to Fang Han, he actually issued an order to evict the guest, and at the same time, his eyes glanced at everyone, and said, "If it's okay, you can leave too." ”

"Ye Chen, the third prince, the two of you stay, I have something important to talk to you about. ”

In the end, Murong Xue glanced at Ye Chen and Fang Yi, and the words she said immediately made the eyes of the crowd condense.

Especially Fang Han, he smelled a trace of unusual breath. 17. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "Invincible Literature from Little White Face" for free for the first time.
