462. Chapter 462: The Shadow Awakens
That's right, the reason why Yuchen wants to participate in the Alchemist Gong Contest is for this earth-level elixir, if the fire qilin wants to recover more, he only needs to rely on these high-grade pills, but in the Great Qian Empire, the third-grade pill is already the top, let alone this earth-level pill! Especially this earth-level pill is still a second-grade pill! And it is also a very difficult elixir that is helpful for the soul!
For alchemists, the damage to the divine soul is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing for them, so any alchemist will store some necessary pills that are helpful to the divine soul in their spatial ring. And this earth-level second-grade elixir is even more difficult and valuable for alchemists! And Yuchen wants to become the first place in the alchemist competition, because he wants to get this elixir back.
But after Yuchen saw Mu Sisi's alchemy level before, Yuchen knew that his alchemy level would definitely not be able to surpass Mu Sisi. Since this is the case, Yuchen directly gave up the competition, but this does not mean that Yuchen has given up his coveting of this earth-level elixir. Since you can't get it on the right path, you have to find another portal!
And just as Yuchen was leaving, a voice came from behind Yuchen, "Hey, you stop!" and after hearing this coquettish shout, Yuchen stopped his steps. And then Yuchen saw Ling Mengsha walk out of the Alchemist Guild. "What's the matter?" Yuchen asked him, although Yuchen had a relationship with this Ling Mengsha, but he couldn't say that he knew each other.
"Obviously, your alchemy level is very high, why should you give up? Do you know? As long as you perform well in this competition, it is very likely that you will be favored by the elders in the Alchemist Guild, and at that time, it will be impossible to join the Alchemist Guild, and your future will be limitless at that time!" Ling Mengsha said to Yuchen.
"Is it gone?" And after listening to Ling Mengsha's words, Yuchen said lightly. And then Yuchen glanced at Ling Mengsha and then turned his head and left! As for what Ling Mengsha said, joining the Alchemist Guild is believed to be an irresistible temptation for any alchemist in the imperial capital! However, this temptation has no attraction at all for Yuchen.
Since Yuchen stepped into the path of soul cultivation, Yuchen has been slowly groping alone, and even the alchemy technique is Yuchen relying on the alchemy experience left by Zang Kong and exploring it by himself. The alchemy experience and pill recipes left by Zang Kong are all things that the Alchemist Guild of the Great Qian Empire cannot provide to Yuchen! And Yuchen has never been in the Great Qian Empire! Not even in this low-level territory!
And after Ling Mengsha saw Yuchen's attitude, even if Ling Mengsha was from a famous family and open-minded, she couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart. Ling Mengsha just saw that Yuchen, a good seedling of an alchemist, actually gave up the competition, which made Ling Mengsha feel a little regretful, which was also the reason why Ling Mengsha chased it out, but Yuchen disdained it, which immediately made Ling Mengsha's face change slightly, but Ling Mengsha was not a narrow-minded person, and then Ling Mengsha's face changed and recovered.
"Chenqi, you stop, I'm going to test the alchemy technique with you!" and just as Yuchen continued to walk forward, Ling Mengsha shouted behind Yuchen. But for Ling Mengsha's words, Yuchen really didn't respond, as if he didn't hear a change and still walked forward.
But Ling Mengsha, who was behind Yuchen, did not give up and shouted: "Chenqi, tomorrow is at the door of this alchemist union, I will wait for you! If you don't come, it is inconvenient to wait all the time!" However, although Yuchen heard Ling Mengsha's words, Yuchen didn't take it to heart. And at this time, at the door of the Alchemist Union, Mu Sisi's figure looked at the back of Yuchen leaving, and Mu Sisi felt really similar to Yuchen!
Since Yuchen left, Yuchen didn't pay any more attention to the next election that the alchemists saw. In the past, Yuchen was interested in the alchemist this time in order to obtain the ground-level elixir, and even the fire qilin specially created a special flame for Yuchen for this purpose. However, after witnessing Mu Sisi's alchemy, Yuchen knew that he had no possibility of defeating her, and although Yuchen didn't blame her, he didn't know how to face her and how to get along with her for a while!
However, that low-grade elixir was indeed very precious in the Great Qian Empire, and it should also be of some help to Xiaohuo. Yuchen took advantage of the night at night to let the fire qilin control his body, and then quietly embedded it in the alchemist guild to take it out, and Yuchen believed in the strength of the fire qilin, it should be easy to take this pill.
However, after the Fire Qilin heard Yuchen's words, the Fire Qilin smiled and said, "This pill is no longer useful to me! In the Tomb of the Dead before, I inadvertently devoured a lot of soul rays, which made me recover a lot! Now it is getting more and more difficult to recover again! This earth-level pill is too low for me now, so it is useless at all." "Although this elixir is no longer useful to the Fire Qilin, there is still a trace of emotion towards Yuchen's idea of wanting to obtain the elixir.
"However, although this elixir is no longer useful to me, it is very likely to be helpful to you in the future, so I'll take a trip tonight!" and after the fire qilin finished saying his previous words, he suddenly changed his words and said to Yuchen. And after hearing the words of the fire qilin, Yuchen also smiled slightly, since there are good things that can be used for yourself, then why not take it?
And then after Yuchen found a place, he quietly cultivated and waited for the night to come. For any martial artist, the most boring thing is undoubtedly boring cultivation, but every powerful martial artist is all piled up with loneliness! Cultivation is definitely the longest for some martial artists, and for those martial artists who are obsessed with martial arts and are dedicated to pursuing martial arts, cultivation is like a blink of an eye even if it is a retreat for 10,000 years.
Time passed little by little, and Yuchen, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, seemed to be unaware, and when night fell on the earth, Yuchen still did not move at all. Maybe it's the heavens that help Yuchen, tonight's night sky is dark, there is no moon in the past, there are no stars in the past, there are just a few dim stars twinkling faintly.
And when approaching Zishi, Yuchen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the dark night, and the corner of Yuchen's mouth also inadvertently showed a smile. I don't know when, Yuchen began to like this kind of night, the pitch black of the night, just like the pitch black of the martial robe!
And just when Yuchen was excited about the dark night in his heart, Yuchen noticed a strange feeling, and after perceiving this feeling, Yuchen also smiled slightly: "Do you also feel excited? Yes! You belong to this kind of darkness!" In fact, Yuchen didn't mean to listen to himself, but to his own shadow.
When he was in Nanshan that day, the fire unicorn asked Yuchen to use his shadow as a carrier, so that the soul of Yu Xiaoliang, who died to save Xin'er, could be reborn through it. However, because the Fire Qilin's approach was too against the sky, it attracted the power of the Seven Heavenly Punishments. And the soul that made Yu Xiaoliang integrate into Yuchen's shadow was mostly destroyed, and became a half-finished product.
And in order to make this semi-finished product perfect, Yuchen used his own spirit to conceive it, and with Yuchen's conception, although it is getting stronger and stronger, and Yuchen can also feel its existence in the recent period. In fact, even Yuchen has an inseparable connection with this shadow, but because it was too weak at the time, Yuchen couldn't feel its existence.
But now its gradual strengthening, also made Yuchen's heart slightly happy, after all, the fire qilin said that this shadow can be separated from Yuchen's deity, and become a whole alone, and this whole will have the same strength as Yuchen! This is equivalent to two Yuchen surviving in the world! It's just that although the current shadow has recovered, it still hasn't reached this point! And the shadow gradually strengthened, allowing Yuchen to feel its existence, but that was because Yuchen was the Shadow's deity, and for other martial artists, unless the Shadow broke away from Yuchen's deity and appeared in front of them, they would not be able to detect the abnormality of Yuchen's shadow.
Even sometimes, Yuchen still wonders whether it was the heavy sword that changed him and made him gradually like black, or the shadow changed himself and made him obsessed with the night sky!
Where there is light, shadows appear, and in the present night, shadows are hidden in the darkness of the night, or rather, shadows are dark nights, because shadows have dissolved into such darkness. As long as Yuchen is alive, his shadow will follow him closely in the day or dark!
And just after Yuchen finished speaking to the shadow, Yuchen didn't go to the shadow to see if it understood. And then Yuchen took advantage of the black night to blend into this darkness. And Yuchen, who was sneaking in the darkness, kept running towards the Alchemist Guild. Since Yuchen was not far from this alchemist's guild, Yuchen arrived quickly.
This reward as an alchemist competition was not placed in the elders of these alchemist guilds, but was stored in this alchemist guild. And there will be countless martial artists and soul cultivators guarding every moment. Moreover, there are countless soul cultivators in this Alchemist Guild, and no one will be stupid enough to break into the Alchemist Guild to steal things!
