Chapter 116: The Secret of the Danshi Pavilion
"I don't know what the seniors need the kid to help with?
"Since that's the case, then I'll be cheeky and say it bluntly!" Liuyang smiled wryly, "But before that, I still need to verify one thing with you, and I hope Xiaoyou can tell the truth!"
"Oh, what's the matter?" Ming Xuan suddenly became interested, and asked Liu Xuan with some confusion
"I'm not sure about it, it's just a guess. But since I saw the barrier-breaking pill in Xiaoyou's hand, I have eight layers of certainty to be sure. ”
Seeing that the more Liu Yan talked, the more he hung, Ming Xuan only felt a little uncomfortable being hanged, and said bluntly: "Seniors don't have to beat around the bush like this, just say anything directly!"
"Hehe, don't worry, little friend, it's about to get to the point!"
"I have already told Xiaoyou just now, the barrier-breaking pill in your hand is such a clean pill that I have seen for the second time in my life!"
"So what?" Ming Xuan was a little puzzled.
"Don't you want to ask, where did I first meet?"
"What? Could it be ......" Ming Xuan's face changed, and he finally had a clue.
"Yes, it seems that Xiaoyou has thought of it!"
As he spoke, he saw that Liuyan's face was straight, and he continued in an extremely solemn tone: "It's the Condensing Spirit Pill you refined today!"
"Sure enough! It seems that I am careless, habitually thinking that when refining the elixir, the impurities in the elixir must be eliminated to the point of impeccable. But I didn't expect it, so I left a fatal weakness!" Ming Xuan lowered his head and pondered.
"The Ning Ling Pill refined by Xiaoyou, although the heat was a little insufficient, it came out of the pill, causing its quality to be greatly reduced! But the impurities inside it were impeccable to remove, and it could even be described as not adulterated at all. And if you want to reach this level, it is not something that an alchemist who can only refine a low-grade pill can do. Therefore, Senior Sister Yun Shen and I dared to guess that Xiaoyou's ability is by no means as simple as it seems!
"Heh, the two masters really look up to the kids! No matter what, I'm just a seventeen-year-old hairy boy, and the opening technique is only used by the third-order early stage demon beast beast fire. It stands to reason that it would be a miracle that I could become a first-grade low-level alchemist. The level is higher than the first grade, and the two masters really dare to think about it!"
"Originally, the two of us were more skeptical than believing! But just now after seeing Xiaoyou's Barrier Breaking Pill, the two of us have eight points of belief! Because the refining technique of Xiaoyou's Condensing Spirit Pill is almost the same as that of the Barrier Breaking Pill. It shows that behind Xiaoyou, there must be a teacher who is at least a fourth-grade senior alchemist!"
"Oh, according to that, the two seniors want to see my teacher, but it's a pity, my teacher has always been an idle cloud and wild crane, and his whereabouts are erratic, and I don't know where he is at the moment?
"That's the case, that's really a pity!" Liuyan's expression was obviously gloomy, but then he smiled at Ming Xuan and said, "However, my favor, your teacher can't help at all, only Xiaoyou can help!"
"If I can't even help my teacher, then I'm afraid I'm even more powerless!" Ming Xuan said with a strange smile on his face.
"Looking at Xiaoyou's appearance, I must have guessed what I was talking about! Yes, it is indeed related to the alchemy competition in the Northern Spirit Sect three days later!"
"Please ask Master Liuyang to explain this matter more carefully! The kid just arrived in the land of Zhongchuan today, and he only knew that there was such a competition, but he didn't know anything about the specific rules and requirements of the competition!"
There was no trace of surprise in Ming Xuan's tone when he spoke, as Liu Yan said, he had already guessed a little about it, and he would show such a strange smile.
Seeing that Ming Xuan didn't show a look of surprise, Liu Xuan felt a little surprised and stunned for a moment, and then sighed deeply and said, "This competition with Danshi Pavilion is a competition with an unlimited number of people. Both alchemists under the age of twenty-five can participate. In the end, the highest-grade elixir that can be refined among the two competitors will be used to evaluate the side that wins in the end!"
"I see!" The bright color on Ming Xuan's face became even stronger, and he continued to ask: "Then the two masters know who will participate in the Northern Spirit Sect, and what level of strength is it?!"
"The two of them have some clue about this matter, there should be five people in the Northern Spirit Sect who are eligible to participate in the competition this time! Although these two people were people who could refine at least one grade of high-grade pills, they were still only the bottom of the five eligible people in the Northern Spirit Sect. ”
"Oh, who are the other three?" Ming Xuan asked with some shock.
"One person is Dan Jin, who can refine at least second-grade primary pills, the other is Dan Nan, who can clearly refine second-grade intermediate pills, and the last person is Dan Ting, who should be able to refine second-grade high-grade pills! These three people are the most difficult existences. When Liu Xi said the last Danting, the bitterness on his face became a little stronger.
"Second grade high-grade elixir?" Ming Xuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Dan Ting's talent to be so high!
In addition to the surprise, Ming Xuan couldn't help but continue to ask: "Then there are those people in your pavilion who can participate, and what stage is the strength?"
"So far, my Danshi Pavilion has only been able to get my hands on the two of us' apprentices! There are only four people in total, but it is even less than one person in Danshi Pavilion. Moreover, the overall strength is also far from that of the Northern Spirit Sect! There should not be much of a problem for the three of Ling, Ji Xue, and Liu Feifei to refine the second-grade primary pill, but it is very reluctant to refine the second-grade intermediate pill. So when we really couldn't find anyone, the two of us had no choice but to rush to the doctor!"
"It's a matter of life and death in Danshi Pavilion, no wonder the two seniors attach so much importance to it! I can promise to help, and I can promise the two seniors that Danting will definitely not be good in my hands!" Ming Xuan generously admitted his strength.
"What? Even Danting can't please her?" Liuyang and Yun Shen couldn't sit still anymore. Naturally, he heard the implication of Ming Xuan's words, that is, he was at least a second-grade intermediate alchemist!
A seventeen-year-old second-grade intermediate alchemist, what a demonic existence this should be!
"Not bad!" Ming Xuan nodded very firmly again, and then showed a sly smile and said, "But... I can't help this in vain! And as for what I need, I guess the two seniors don't need me to say more!"
When Liuqi and Yun Shen heard this, their faces suddenly became ugly.
"Xiaoyou, this thousand-year-old cold marrow liquid, my Danshi Pavilion is indeed very useful, it really can't be exchanged for Xiaoyou! And in addition to this thing, no matter what conditions Xiaoyou mention, pills, spirit stones, elixirs, pills, etc., as long as Xiaoyou can mention it, my Danshi Pavilion can try my best to satisfy Xiaoyou!" said Liuyang with a bitter face.
"Presumably, the two masters should know that I have taken a great risk by agreeing to your pavilion to participate in this competition! With the Northern Spirit Sect as an enemy, if I am not careful, I may fall! As for the elixir, spirit stone, pill formula, elixir ......"
Ming Xuan said, and couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: "These things, do the two seniors think I will be lacking?" Of course, if your pavilion can come up with more than five grade pills, then it will be another matter, I can think about it!"
"Pills above the fifth grade?" Liu Xuan and Yun Shen were both frightened by Ming Xuan's arrogant words.
If this was said by anyone else, both of them would sneer at it and express their disdain. But for a person like Ming Xuan who could casually take out a fourth-grade high-grade elixir, the two of them really couldn't mention any contempt and disdain.
"Alas, Xiaoyou, this is deliberately giving me a problem in Danshi Pavilion!" Liu Yang sighed deeply.
"Whether or not you are giving your Pavilion a problem, it depends on what the two seniors think! Is the thousand-year-old cold marrow liquid more important, or is the entire Danshi Pavilion more important?"
"Little friend doesn't know, in fact, this thousand-year-old cold marrow liquid is also related to the safety of my Danshi Pavilion, so I will pay so much attention to it!"
"It's also about the safety of Danshi Pavilion?" Ming Xuan was a little shocked in his heart, and finally understood why the two of them insisted on refusing to exchange this thousand-year-old cold marrow liquid.
"What do you mean by what the seniors say?" asked Ming Zaixuan after a moment of shock.
Listening to Ming Xuan's inquiry, Liuyan's expression was gloomy again, but he didn't mean to explain.
"Senior brother, although that incident is the secret of my Danshi Pavilion, the matter in front of me is also related to the life and death of my Danshi Pavilion! Moreover, I don't think this kid is like a person who is not tight-lipped. Otherwise, you might as well tell him. Otherwise, people will think that we are deceiving him!" Yun Shen persuaded Liu Xuan on the side, and couldn't help but glance at Ming Xuan with a hint of resentment.
When Liuyu heard this, he was silent for a moment again, and then he said to Ming Xuan a little helplessly and in a very solemn tone: "Xuanyu Xiaoyou, I can tell you about this matter! On the one hand, I hope you can understand the difficulties of my Danshi Pavilion, and on the other hand, I also ask you to keep this secret for my Danshi Pavilion!"
"I can promise the two seniors that this matter will never be passed on! But there is one thing I have to make clear in advance, that is, no matter what the two seniors say, and no matter what difficulties your pavilion has, if you want me to help, you have to exchange it for the thousand-year-old cold marrow liquid. Ming Xuan's tone was extremely resolute in stating his position.
Originally, Ming Xuan didn't want to listen to what the two of them said, after all, the so-called secret was extremely unfavorable to him. On the one hand, it is very likely that he was moved by compassion and finally compromised under the lips of the two; on the other hand, Ming Xuan also understood a truth - the more he knew, the faster he died! He was still young, and he didn't want to die so early!
But Ming Xuan also understood that Liuyang would definitely not let go of the thousand-year-old cold marrow liquid easily, and the reason why he wanted to hear it was also to see if he could find a solution that would have the best of both worlds!
