Chapter 16: A duel to the death

"See Master!" Xia Yihan performed an apprenticeship ceremony.

"Well, get up! This is your senior brother, Feng Yanhan. Yao Lao pointed to the man standing on the side and said.

"See Senior Brother!" Xia Yihan saluted the wind and cold again.

"Well, there's no need to be polite in the Medicine Pavilion in the future! From today onwards, you two brothers and sisters will support each other and help each other. Yan Han, you take your junior sister around first. Yihan, you can clean up later, come to me. Yao Lao said.

"Yes!" Xia Yihan and Feng Yanhan said in unison.

Xia Yihan turned her head slightly to look at Feng Yanhan, and when she saw Feng Yanhan's face, she was slightly stunned. He is handsome, his face is as clear as a carving, and the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate him. With black and dense hair, there is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, but the eyes are full of coldness. The tall nose and moderately thick red lips make Xia Yihan ashamed.

"Don't be in a daze, let's go!" Feng Yanhan frowned and said.

"Oh oh, good!" Xia Yihan came back to his senses and said.

"Senior brother, how many alchemists are you now?" Xia Yihan said.

"Six Grades"

"Uh-oh." Xia Yihan said

"That's your yard." Feng Yanhan pointed to a bamboo building courtyard over there and said.

"Oh, okay." Xia Yihan said.

After Xia Yihan finished packing up her things, she went to the door of Yao Lao's room and said, "Master, I'm here!" ”

"Well, come in!" Yao Lao said.

Xia Yihan pushed open the door and entered the room, where he saw a pile of books and two sandbags on the table.

"You have to memorize all the books in a month. Then, you have to go to the playground with these sandbags every morning and run and recite them for two hours, and I'll check them in the evening. You must also know that I am not only an alchemist, but also a poisoner. If you don't complete the task, the poison powder will wait. Yao Lao said slowly.

"Yes, master!" Xia Yihan said. When Xia Yihan saw those books and sandbags, he almost guessed it. In fact, these are nothing to a person with excellent physical strength and memorability.

Xia Yihan took these books back to the courtyard and began her endorsement journey.

During this month, Xia Yihan ran, endorsed, and practiced every day. At the beginning of every day, Xia Yihan got up and went to the playground to run while reciting books.

In this way, the news of a stunning fairy running in the playground spread throughout the school, and many people ran together after hearing about it. Among them are Yarong, Yue Xin'er, and Qin Ying.

"Yihan, aren't you tired of running for two hours with sandbags every day?" Yue Xin'er said tiredly.

"It's okay, you close your eyes and take your time!" Xia Yihan said calmly.

“...... Hehe, then you're really amazing! You can feel every step you take. ”

In this month's running study, Xia Yihan's mental strength has improved a lot compared to the original, her physical strength is much better than before, and her mood is better than before.

A month later, Xia Yihan stood at the door of Yao Lao's room, waiting for Yao Lao's spot check.

"Master, I've memorized all those books, you can check them at any time." Xia Yihan said.

"Okay, what are the two types of alchemy?" Yao Lao walked out of the room and said.

"The alchemy is divided into the inner pill and the outer pill, and the inner pill is condensed by the cultivator absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. Wai Dan is made from medicinal herbs. Xia Yihan said.

Hearing this, Yao Lao had a slight smile in his eyes.

"Well, starting tomorrow, I will let your senior brother start calling you alchemy. You go and prepare some Silver Leaf Grass, Condensing Flowers, Fairy Spirit Fruits, and Cold Blood Fruits first. These are all medicinal materials of a hemostatic pill. Yao Lao said.

"Yes" After speaking, Xia Yihan walked out of Yao Lao's courtyard.

Xia Yihan got out of the medicine pavilion and went to the exchange building.

"Senior brother, I want to replace these demon cores with these medicinal herbs." Xia Yihan took a note and gave it to the disciple and said.

"Well, you can probably exchange these magic cores for five of each." The disciple said. These are the lowest grade medicinal herbs, and they are not very rare.

Hearing this, Xia Yihan frowned slightly, she felt that these were too little. After all, she was alchemizing for the first time, and she had heard others say that the first alchemy would fail many times.

"What about adding fifty spirit stones?" Xia Yihan asked. Xia Yihan is the number one on the land list, and the one hundred and fifty spirit stones that can be exchanged every month are nothing.

"Fifty spirit stones, each should be able to exchange for twenty." Cui Bin said.

"Okay, then please help me change twenty plants, thank you!" Xia Yihan said politely.

"Okay, you wait, I'll go..."Cui Bin was just halfway through his speech when he was interrupted by a familiar female voice.

"Miss Ben has all the medicinal herbs she wants, and she will give you double the price." Ren Xuan said arrogantly.

"This ......"

"Senior brother, you go and prepare first! I'll come tomorrow morning to get the herbs. After Xia Yihan finished speaking to the senior brother, she looked at Ren Xuan.

"Oh, who am I? It turned out to be Renxuan! What, did you come to this girl to treat her eyes? Xia Yihan said sarcastically.

"You! Hmph, sister, this is the new student who humiliated me that day. Ren Xuan pointed at Xia Yihan and said to the woman in white on the side. The woman was wearing a white lotus bandeau embroidered with pale pink, a flower-trolling skirt tied around her waist, and a beaded hairpin in her hair. In Xuanyue Academy, she can be regarded as a top ten beauty. But compared to Xia Yihan, it is one heaven and one underground.

"Oh, why, I can't beat me alone, so I brought a helper again!" Xia Yihan said with a smile.

"Heh, this year's freshmen are really arrogant and disrespectful!" Ren Xi said coldly. Ren Xi is a disciple of the inner courtyard, twenty-six years old, and is a ninth-layer of the Golden Yellow Spirit Realm.

"Don't you dare to talk nonsense, which eye of yours sees me arrogant and disrespectful? Could it be that you have eye problems like Renxuan? Xia Yihan covered her mouth and said with a surprised expression.

Everyone in the exchange building laughed out loud when they heard this. Some people look sympathetic, and some watch the show.

Hearing this, Ren Xi's face turned black as soon as he brushed it, because the inner court disciples could not bully the outer court disciples, so Ren Xi didn't want to move her at all. She just wanted to give the other party a prestige, but the other party made the first move.

"Summer! Depend on! Culvert! You're looking for death! Ren Xi gritted his teeth and said.

"I'm fine with my ears, you don't have to say it that loud." Xia Yihan said.

"I, Ren Xi, launched a life-and-death duel against Xia Yihan! Life or death on the test table! Xia Yihan, do you dare to fight? Ren Xi said angrily. She seemed to be sure that Xia Yihan would definitely lose, so she thought that Xia Yihan launched a life-and-death duel.

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples around him all looked at Ren Xi with some differences, feeling that Ren Xi was too reckless. A life-and-death duel can be very dangerous, because once you make a life-and-death contract, unless a person dies, the life-and-death contract will not be dissolved.

"What don't you dare to do, I, Xia Yihan, should fight!" When Ren Xi first came in, she asked the array spirit to check Ren Xi's cultivation. Because she knew her cultivation, Xia Yihan was not afraid at all. Xia Yihan had just broken through the Green Spirit Realm some time ago, and although the ninth layer of the Green Spirit Realm and the Yellow Spirit Realm were only one level apart, they were also a world apart.

"Childe, something is wrong! Ren Xi launched a life-and-death duel against Miss! Motosaki said nervously.

"What do you say? Speak slowly! Xia Yunyi said nervously.

"This morning, Ren Xi went to the outer courtyard to find Miss, but Miss said a few words casually, then Ren Xi became angry, and then launched a life-and-death duel against Miss, and Miss agreed." Motosaki quickly recounted what had happened in the morning.

"How could Han'er be so reckless! Let's go and see! After hearing this, Xia Yunyi and Yuanqi walked outside.

The competition room was crowded with people, some supporting Ren Xi, and some supporting their goddess Xia Yihan.

"Goddess, come on! Goddess, come on! The disciples of the outer courtyard said in unison. These outer court disciples were often bullied by the inner court disciples, and finally someone could clean up the inner court disciples for them, and they were very happy!

"Ren Xi, don't embarrass our inner courtyard disciples!" Many inner court disciples who heard the wind said.

"A duel of life and death, life or death! Have you decided? An elder said.

"That's it!" Xia Yihan and Ren Xi said in unison.

"Okay, then you can start making a contract of life and death!" The elder said with a look of pity. Both of these students are extremely talented, and it would be a pity for either one to die.

"I, Ren Xi, conclude a life and death contract with Xia Yihan today, whether I live or die!" Ren Xi said with an oath.

"I, Xia Yihan, conclude a life and death contract with Ren Xi, life or death doesn't matter!" Xia Yihan said coldly.

After speaking, four barriers were erected around the test table, encompassing Ren Xi and Xia Yihan.

"Okay, let's get started!" The elder said.

"Xia Yihan, today is your death!" Ren Xi said viciously.

"Chain of Golden Rocks!" Ren Xi shouted. Suddenly, gold chains appeared in the air, like golden snakes running towards Xia Yihan.

Xia Yihan dodged and shouted coquettishly: "Fire fire!" Clusters of flames collided towards the gold chains. Two dazzling lights appeared in the air, causing everyone to cover their eyes.

After a while, someone said excitedly: "The goddess is from two systems, I was on the scene last time I faced off with Hu Yi, and the goddess used ice martial arts last time!" ”

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and I was there at the time!"

Then, Xia Yihan took out the cicada stacked short dagger and launched an attack on Ren Xi. Ren Xi on the other end saw it and hurriedly took out his weapon long whip and swung it towards Xia Yihan.

"Heh, Ren Xi, that's what you can do?" Xia Yihan said sarcastically.

"Hmph, do you dare to compete with Miss Ben?" Ren Xi snorted coldly and said.

"It's better than it, don't cry if you lose. Oh no, you don't have a chance to cry. Xia Yihan said. Then he took out a long, fiery red whip full of short thorns from the ring.

"This is a thorny fire whip, and I heard that if this long whip hits a person's body, it feels like a thousand thorns piercing the body. However, this girl hasn't tried it yet, so I'll try it with you today! Xia Yihan said. After speaking, Xia Yihan waved the long whip in his hand. Xia Yihan dodged the long whip that Ren Xi swung over, and swung the thorn fire whip at Ren Xi from time to time, which felt like a joke.

Everyone in the audience saw Ren Xi standing on the stage in rags, which made the men in the audience look full of spring, and the women were ashamed.

"Senior sister, work harder, senior brother is waiting to see everything!" A man said. As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt several eyes look at him. It was as if to see a hole in him.

Ren Xi heard what the man said and looked at his clothes. It's good now, I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. In ancient times, a woman's chastity was very important, and this Ren Xi estimated that it was difficult to deal with.

"Ah, Xia Yihan, I want you to pay for your life!" Then, he waved the fire whip at Xia Yihan like crazy.

"Flame Lotus!" Xia Yihanjiao shouted. Suddenly, a huge fiery red lotus appeared in the air. The lotus flower is getting bigger and bigger, and the coercion is getting stronger and stronger. In an instant, the lotus flower the size of a palm had become the size of an elephant.

This big lotus flower has made it difficult for many people to breathe, and the weaker ones have even vomited blood. The elder frowned slightly when he saw this, and immediately used his spiritual power to protect the disciples present.

"Heh, Ren Xi, take my last move!" After speaking, the lotus flower seemed to have a consciousness and flew towards Ren Xi.

Ren Xi was shocked when she saw this fire lotus, she felt the coercion emanating from this fire lotus.

Xia Yihan ...... Learn, sister, spare me, I was wrong. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the lotus, and the coercion was getting stronger and stronger, Ren Xi already knew that he was going to lose, and he could lose even worse.

"Oh, daydreaming! You were the one who wanted me to make a contract at the beginning, and now you are the one who begs for mercy! Xia Yihan said coldly.

"Bang!" A loud bang came from where Ren Xi was standing, and everyone saw many scattered corpses erupting along with the explosion.

There was a puddle of blood and a bunch of human entrails, large intestines, small intestines. Everyone present at the audience faked vomiting. Only Xia Yihan stood on the stage with a calm face.

After the barrier disappeared, Xia Yihan slowly stepped down. After the audience saw it, it was like looking at the plague god, and hurriedly gave way. Only, Xia Yunyi, Qin Ying, Yarong and Yue Xin'er hurriedly came.

"Yihan, how are you?" Yue Xin'er rushed over and asked.

"It's okay, it's just that the mental power is empty." After Xia Yihan finished speaking, he fell backwards.

"Yihan!" After Xia Yunyi saw it, he hurriedly hugged Xia Yihan and ran towards the medicine pavilion. The three people next to him also followed to the medicine pavilion.

Medicine Pavilion

“...... Hmm"

"Yihan, how are you?" After Xia Yunyi, who was sitting on the side, heard the voice, he hurriedly helped Xia Yihan to sit up.

“...... Water"

"Oh oh" Xia Yunyi hurriedly arrived at a glass of water and handed it to Xia Yihan. Xia Yihan, who has drunk water, feels much better.

"Brother, have you been here all along?" Xia Yihan looked at the sky outside the window and asked.

"Well, I told Yao Lao to take care of you here for one night. Drink the porridge while it's hot! After Xia Yunyi finished speaking, he took a bowl of porridge from the side and handed it to Xia Yihan.

"Brother hard work, what about Yuexin'er?" Xia Yihan saw the three of them looking at her nervously before she fell into a coma.

"They were supposed to take care of you here, but then I told them to go back and rest." Xia Yunyi said.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been three hours." Xia Yunyi said.

"Did anything happen in these three hours?"

"Well, after you fell unconscious, Renxuan secretly left the school, probably to report the news. Then, the news of you and Ren Xi spread in the outer courtyard and inner courtyard. You must be careful in the future, and don't make that life and death contract casually. Xia Yunyi said with a frown.

"Well, knowing my brother, did the old man say anything?" Xia Yihan asked.

"I didn't say anything, I just told you to cultivate well and don't always cause trouble." Xia Yunyi repeated what Yao Lao said.

"I'm causing trouble, isn't it because of my brother's rotten peach blossoms?" Xia Yihan was not happy when she heard this. What does it mean that she is causing trouble, if it weren't for someone, she wouldn't have had anything to do with Ren Xuan and Ren Xi.

"Okay, good, it's my brother's peach blossoms. It's not early, you rest early, I'll leave first, and I'll come back tomorrow to see you. After Xia Yunyi helped Xia Yihan to lie there, he went out.
