“……”

After hearing Chu Ming's words, Su Tongyue was stunned for a moment, and then immediately recovered from the panic to her former indifference, and pulled the sweat-stained hair that adhered to her face behind her ears and covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Young Master Chu said with a smile, this Lechuan Pill was refined by me with great painstaking efforts, how can I hand it over to you?"

"Looks like I'm too gentle with you."

Chu Ming's expression instantly froze, the depths of his slightly narrowed eyes revealed a trace of coldness and indifference, and he raised his keel and pointed at Su Tongyue and said softly.

"I don't say this as a request, but as an order."

"It seems that Young Master Chu is not very confident in his alchemy."

Seeing Chu Ming slowly approaching him, Su Tongyue's delicate body trembled slightly and hurriedly retreated to the edge of the boulder cliff, the smile on her face gradually stiffened.

"If Young Master Chu wants to advance, he only needs to refine a higher quality pill than me, why bother to rob me of a weak woman?"

Weak woman?

Chu Ming sneered disdainfully, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power around Su Tongyue, her cultivation is at least around the fourth level of the foundation building realm, or even higher!

I can barely achieve the same cultivation as you with the help of the ice dragon transformation, and you actually say that you are a weak woman?

One of the five major sects, the genius cultivated by the Hanhai Dan Sect is weak.

What's more, he had just finished dealing with them, and the spiritual power in the dantian had been consumed......

Seeing that Chu Ming was still pressing step by step, the gentle smile on Su Tongyue's face suddenly retracted, and she immediately grabbed her hair impatiently, and her originally calm and beautiful face instantly became fierce, as if she was screaming like a crazy woman scolding the street.

"I'm sick of it! Sick of it! Are you sick? ”

"This is an alchemy competition, not a martial arts conference that competes in strength!"

"Since you want to fight, then I will accompany you to the end!"

"But I'm not responsible for missing arms and legs, don't cry and ask the adults in the sect to ask for an explanation when I go back."

"That's nature."

Regarding Su Tongyue's personality as if she had changed as a person, Chu Ming chuckled as expected.

"I didn't expect you to be gentle and elegant on the surface, but behind the scenes you are this kind of character."

"What? Can't you? Wait! Mother, this will tear your mouth apart! ”

Su Tongyue's eyes revealed a gloomy ruthlessness, and he directly held his hands in front of him, and a huge blood sickle about five or six meters long slowly condensed into solidity.

It was engraved with various poisonous patterns, and the blade was like a scorpion claw, and a strong ferocious aura came to the face.

"Scythe?"

Seeing such a special weapon, Chu Ming couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a moment, but with this half-breathed distraction, Su Tongyue had already burst in front of him, and the blood sickle in his hand slammed horizontally!

"Wow!"

Chu Ming hurriedly let his calves soar into the air, and only then could he avoid the terrifying spiritual power bend wave that cut down a large area of the dense forest behind him.

"Die!"

Seeing Chu Ming retreat into the dense forest, Su Tongyue's bloodthirsty eyes widened violently, and he shouted with one hand.

"Blood Seal!"

In an instant, countless blood-red vines erupted from the cracked land, and the tips turned into countless old red hands frantically grabbing towards Chu Ming.

Chu Ming's mind sank, and he hurriedly used the Dragon Ascending Technique to entangle with these bloody hands with his hair, and he could only summon the True Son Pill to help him resist the sneak attack from behind.

"Die!!"

After the second word "death" burst into applause, Su Tongyue squeezed away many wriggling blood arms, wielded a sickle and fought fiercely with Chu Ming, who was scattered from his cloak, and the moment the figures were staggered, the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations instantly spread, making the originally silent dense forest extremely noisy, and the screams of the demon beasts were mixed with the sound of the ancient trees falling, and the birds were scattered, and it was a mess.

It turns out that this Nizi is so strong in combat?

Chu Ming couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.

Because Su Tongyue is shorter than him, with a low roar, a hot temper, and the zodiac is still a dog, the power of the life stick method has been increased to the peak with the bonus of "Eight Decisions for Fighting Dogs".

But even so, the two were only able to draw each other, and no one could help anyone.

"Bang!"

After another fierce collision between blue and red, the two people on the battlefield retreated dozens of meters at the same time, supporting their exhausted bodies with the magic weapons in their hands, panting heavily, and glaring at each other angrily.

"I didn't expect you to be able to fight!"

Chu Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out a few Qi Gathering Pills from the space bag and threw them into his mouth, looking at Su Tongyue, who was doing the same thing as himself, and said softly.

"You better give me the refined elixir."

"Dreaming!"

Su Tongyue chewed the pill stuffed in her mouth like a hamster, swallowed it in her stomach with a grunt, put her hands on her chest, and burst out for the third time.

"Dead !!"

Immediately, the bloody hand that was originally paralyzed on the ground and motionless suddenly squirmed again and frantically grabbed Chu Ming, but his expression was unusually indifferent, just groaning softly.

"Ox Growth."

"Knock Knock Knock ——!"

With the sound of fierce stampede, countless mad cows suddenly rushed out from behind Chu Ming.

They crushed their bloody hands and rushed towards Su Tongyue frantically, and the dust they brought up made her pupils shrink suddenly, and she hurriedly retreated to the edge of the cliff boulder, and once again brandished the scythe in her hand to slash at the brute bull that was crashing into her, causing them to turn into spiritual power and escape.

"I'll see how long you can delay with this trick!"

Seeing that Chu Ming was already sitting on the ground exhausted, Su Tongyue's eyes flashed with gloomy ruthlessness.

However, in the next second, only a "click" was heard, and the cliff boulder broke under the trampling of many mad cows.

Broken!

Su Tongyue secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly summoned the Spirit Sword Imperial Sword from the space bag to fly, but at this moment of distraction, a cold light suddenly struck and stabbed a large area of blood from her shoulder.

"Ugh!"

Su Tongyue frowned and snorted, and the person fell from the spirit sword in an instant.

Her pupils dilated suddenly, and she just wanted to reach out and call the spirit sword back to her feet, but in the next second, she felt a sudden suffocating force from her neck, and the whole person fainted instantly.

"Whoosh!"

After Chu Ming used the dragon technique to tightly wrap Su Tongyue and lift her up, he casually threw her aside and gasped for breath.

"This is really hard to deal with."

Feeling the empty spiritual power in his dantian, Chu Ming, who was sitting on the ground, looked around at the messy forest around him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and then quickly groped around Su Tongyue's waist and ripped off the space bag on her body.

"It should be put in here, right?"

Chu Ming tried to use his divine sense to probe in, but after a while, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and a chill rushed from the tail vertebrae to the heavenly spirit cover.

Broken!

This Nizi's space bag has been set up with a perception enchantment!

Chu Ming hurriedly threw down the space bag and was about to run away, but the moment he stood up, an irresistible terrifying aura directly slapped him on the ground, unable to move.

"Little guy, it's not right to snatch people's things."

With an indifferent old voice bursting out in the depths of his mind, a pale blue phantom slowly appeared in front of him.

He stood with his hands in his hands, his smile kind, his eyes as eternal as a deep well, but there seemed to be a thousand mysteries hidden in them.

Even just by glancing at it, his figure was deeply imprinted in the depths of Chu Ming's soul, making a bitter smile appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Sect Master Hanhai, hello."

"Not at all."

Old Man Sheng Ling shook his head and sighed lightly.

"My original intention in setting up the play-in competition was just to let you know that blindly alchemy is not the real future of Danshi."

"Using the refined pill to enhance the actual combat ability is the true direction of Dan Xiu, such as the strange 'Strange Power Pill' in your hand."

Chu Ming's mouth opened slightly, and he just wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that the True Zi Dan in his hand seemed to have broken the connection with his divine sense, and flew straight into the palm of the old man Shengling's right hand that was slowly spread out.

"I didn't expect that you could not only improve the Dan Fang, but you would not even be able to refine the pill with four Dan Patterns without even being a Six-Rank Dan Master."

The old man Sheng Ling did not hide his admiration at all, and carefully played with the Zhenzi Dan in his hand, and a gentle smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"Such a good seedling, if you don't join our Hanhai Dan Sect, you will simply be wasting your Dan cultivation talent."

"I can understand this as if you were inviting me to join the Hanhai Dan Sect?"

Chu Ming lay on the ground and chuckled without being humble or arrogant, this courage and courage really made the old man Shengling can't help but open his eyes slightly, and his smile becomes more and more cordial.

"Sensible, reasonable, sure enough, the hero is a teenager!

"But I refuse."

Chu Ming's cold refusal made the smile on the old man Sheng Ling's face slowly stiffen, and his expression instantly became indifferent

"Why?"

"In Tianyan Sect, you will only waste your Dan cultivation talent, come to our Hanhai Dan Sect, I promise to let you trample all the Dan masters in the Northern Regions under your feet! Nurture you to become the peerless Tianjiao who is in the limelight! ”

"Because there are many people in the Tianyan Sect that I care about."

Chu Ming was still unmoved, and his expression was extremely firm.

"I can go to the Hanhai Dan Sect to exchange and study, but it may be impossible for me to quit the Tianyan Sect and join you."

"That's a shame."

The old man Sheng Ling sighed lightly, unceremoniously turned over his hand Zhenzi Dan and put it away, and stared at Chu Ming's soft voice after standing with his hands in his hands.

"Chu Ming, you violated the rules of the play-in competition, and now you are disqualified from the alchemy competition."

"And because you tried to kill the participating Dan Master in the competition, I can only let you stay in the Hanhai Dan Sect and wait for someone from your sect to redeem you."

“？？？”

Seeing the old man Shengling's face-turning behavior that was faster than turning a book, Chu Ming couldn't help but be confused.

Where did I break the Play-In Rules?

You said that you competed in the quality and number of refining pills, and only one person from each venue was promoted.

Then if I knock the others down, won't I be able to advance no matter what pills I refine?

What's more, which eye did you see me killing Su Tongyue?

If I wanted to kill her, I wouldn't have pulled her up from the cliff just now, okay!

However, no matter how secretly Chu Ming slandered in his heart, the difference in strength between the two was there, and there was no possibility of escaping at all.

He simply stopped struggling, and said coldly with a gloomy face.

"Aren't you afraid of causing a rupture in the relationship between the two sects by doing this?"

"You're alone?"

The old man Sheng Ling's old right hand was raised slightly, and he used his majestic spiritual power to besiege Chu Ming to the death and slowly dragged him to his side and chuckled.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the comprehensive strength of the Tianyan Sect is indeed stronger than our Hanhai Dan Sect."

"Disciples like you who have a double foundation realm abound in the Tianyan Sect, and they will not directly break with our Hanhai Dan Sect because of you alone."

Hearing the words of the old man Sheng Ling, Chu Ming couldn't help but feel a little desperate in his heart.

"Oh? Is it? ”

However, at this moment, a familiar and charming voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which made his pupils shrink suddenly.

Master!?

"Who?"

For the sudden sound, the old man Sheng Ling looked around as if he was facing a great enemy, and his expression was extremely solemn.

He sensed that a charming but rich killing intent and cold aura had locked him, and the cultivation of the owner of this aura was no less than his own!

Could it be that the old monster of Tianyan Sect who never came out of the customs is here?

"Tianyan Sect will not break with you because of Ming'er, but I will."

Chu Ming felt that the tense body wrapped in the terrifying coercion suddenly relaxed, and the whole person fell from mid-air, and then fell into the arms of an illusory figure.

"Master ......"

Looking at the charming face that had not been in existence for a long time, Chu Ming couldn't help but feel a little longing and sourness in his heart, and his eyes were slightly red when he had barely shed tears.

"Master, I miss you so much!"

"I miss you too."

Wu Zuirao gently stroked Chu Ming's cheek, and then put him down and protected him behind him, staring at the old man Shengling's peach blossom eyes, which had long lost their charm and enchantment, and became gloomy and cold.

"It's a bit of a surprise that you, who were beaten half to death by me, are now alive again."

"yes, I'm a little surprised."

The old man Sheng Ling responded with a smile, and the originally dim heaven and earth instantly howled, thunder and lightning, and when the majestic spiritual power surged, he went head-to-head with the fox shadow swaying the nine-colored fox tail behind Wu Zuirao, and held each other.

"I didn't expect you to show up again like a lost dog, so you weren't afraid that the enemy in Zhongzhou would come to the door when they heard the news?"

"Now that I've appeared, I'm not afraid."

Dancing drunken Raoyu's hand was raised slightly, and the nine-colored glow shot out from the fox shadow behind him, and in the blink of an eye, the original condensed phantom of the old man Shengling gradually blurred.

"As the head of a sect, you are looking for a lame reason to make things difficult for the younger generations everywhere, and I am afraid that the reputation of the Hanhai Dan Sect will be lost by you."

"Difficult?"

Wu Zui's words obviously angered the old man Sheng Ling, and he pointed to the unconscious disciple of the Hanhai Dan Sect behind Chu Ming and said coldly.

"Chu Ming beat my sect disciple like that, I just planned to let him stay in our sect and reflect on it, this is also deliberately difficult?"

"Within the rules, the sword has no eyes."

Wu Zuirao blinked her phoenix eyes lightly, covered her mouth and smiled charmingly.

"Didn't you say it before, the play-in competition is to select Dan masters with strong actual combat ability, and now after this competition, isn't that person my family Ming'er?"

"What, because your own disciples can't beat my apprentices, you're in a hurry?"

“……”

The old man Sheng Ling's face instantly became gloomy, and his lips opened and closed several times, but he wanted to stop talking, obviously unable to find a reason to refute Wu Zui'rao's sharp words.

Although he was the incarnation of divine consciousness, this was within the realm of the Hanhai Dan Sect, and it was easy for him to want the body to descend and take Chu Ming away.

But I'm afraid, I'm afraid, after imprisoning Chu Ming, this woman will come to the door.

Just for the sake of her apprentice, she didn't hesitate to expose her existence in front of me?

Isn't she afraid that I will inform Zhongzhou of this news?!

Looking at Wu Zui's extremely beautiful face, the old man Sheng Ling clenched his fists, and his heart was extremely heavy.

Perhaps the reason she did this was because her strength had fully recovered.

In that case, it's better not to provoke her.

Now the Northern Regions are already stormy, and Lotte Xing has suddenly made trouble recently, causing internal and external troubles, so it is better to have more than one thing.

The old man Sheng Ling let out a long sigh as if admitting defeat, and after introverting his own breath and spiritual power, Wu Zuirao also retracted the ten thousand fox demon body behind him and said with a smile.

"But my family Ming'er did go a little too far this time."

"That's it, after my family Ming'er enters the Inner Sect, I'll let him come to your Hanhai Dan Sect to study and exchange, how about that?"

"Huh?"

Old Man Sheng Ling couldn't help but wonder.

"He's not a disciple of your Tianyan Sect?"

"It's just the outer gate, and I haven't joined the inner sect yet, so I naturally don't know much about the complicated situation in the Northern Regions."

Hearing Wu Zui's words, the old man Sheng Ling couldn't help revealing a strong look of surprise in his heart.

Before entering the inner sect, he has already reached the dual strength of the foundation building realm?

And it's also a five-pin Dan master?

This little guy is not only talented as a Dan Master, but even his cultivation?

It's amazing how much you can achieve this with two minds!

Looking at Chu Ming, who was sitting behind Wu Zuirao, closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, and desperately recovering from his injuries by running exercises, the resentment in Old Man Shengling's heart towards him suddenly subsided for the most part, and he became very interested.

Since this little guy has a deep background that can't be eradicated, it's good to find an opportunity to win him over, anyway, it's all an effect.

"That's very good."

Old Man Shengling's expression suddenly changed from grim to happy and kind smile, and after waving his sleeve robe and surrounding the unconscious disciples of the Hanhai Dan Sect around him, the Divine Consciousness Avatar slowly dispersed into the distance with them, leaving only a light word echoing in the sky.

"At that time, I will treat each other with courtesy, and I hope that he can carry forward the Danxiu path."

“……”

After the old man Sheng Ling drifted away, Wu Zuirao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the tense internal breath was completely relaxed.

If he wants to kidnap Ming'er regardless of it, there is really nothing he can do.

But fortunately, it scared him.

"Master, thank you so much this time."

At this time, Chu Ming's thank you made Wu Zuirao slowly turn around, looking at his deep eyes that floated with tenderness, the corners of his mouth rose slightly without leaving a trace, and then half-squatted down and nodded his forehead and snorted.

"Humph! I haven't seen you for a long time, Ming'er, you have seen me like this! Sure enough, he married his daughter-in-law and forgot his master. ”

"It turns out that the master has been thinking about me."

Chu Ming scratched his slightly flushed cheeks embarrassedly.

Since Shizun knows about me and Xi'er, does that mean that all the things that I and Xi'er lingered in the middle of the night have also been live-streamed?

Adjust the teacher's sister in front of the teacher?

That's a shame, isn't it?

As if sensing Chu Ming's embarrassed expression, Wu Zuirao gently cupped his cheek and let him look at him, his eyes flowed, his fragrant tongue curled slowly at the corner of his mouth, and the depths of his misty peach blossom eyes revealed an extremely fiery and charming meaning.

"I'm going to clean you up when I get back!"

"Pack up? How to clean up? ”

Chu Ming asked subconsciously, and Wu Zuirao leaned unhurriedly into his ear and exhaled like an orchid, coquettishly gasping, and his tone seemed to be mixed with sour vinegar.

"How many times have you done it to Mu Xi during this time, and you also have to do it to the teacher, and you are not allowed to get out of bed if you don't do it once!"

"Huh?"

Before Chu Ming could react, the dancing drunken man in front of him turned into a burst of red mist and slowly drifted away, making him conscious for a while, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"It turns out that Shizun has been secretly protecting me."

Chu Ming smiled dumbly, and after patting the dust on his clothes, a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Wait a minute!

Maybe Shizun hasn't been protecting me, but has been monitoring whether I have any intentions?

In that case, what about An Muqing......

"It's bad, no wonder I always feel that Shizun's eyes are wrong when she looks at me, it turns out that she was discovered!"

Chu Ming shrunk his neck a little weakly, and kept thinking about how to deal with Wu Zuirao's plan to squeeze himself dry when he went back.

In the past half a month, the cultivation methods on the Photoacia Heart Sutra have almost been used up, and the number of times to nourish Xi'er has to be dozens of times.

These things, Master, she wants to get them back from me?

Chu Ming subconsciously held his back and felt a trace of palpitations inexplicably.

"Forget it, I don't know if Jin has advanced in today's play-in round, so let's go back and wait for news."

The sun has sunk below the skyline, and the night is already covered by stars, and from time to time there are several shooting stars in the distance.

Just as Chu Ming was about to go down the mountain and return the same way, a thick and old voice suddenly resounded throughout the thousands of mountains.

"All the Dan masters participating in the Alchemy Competition, please note that the play-in tournament has ended, and the list of nine venues that have advanced to the finals of the Alchemy Contest is hereby announced."

"Venue No. 1, Blazing Immortal Sect, Ming Yan."

"Venue No. 2, Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Dijiang."

“……”

Isn't it ten venues?

Why did it become nine?

Chu Ming couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but when he heard the promotion list of the No. 8 venue, he suddenly realized.

"Venue No. 8, Tianyan Sect, Chu Ming, Hanhai Danzong, Su Tongyue."

It turned out to be a back door!

Chu Ming couldn't help but secretly slander, but he didn't hear the promotion list of the No. 10 field in the future, which made him feel a trace of sympathy, and said silently in his heart.

"If you want to blame it, blame it, this is held in the realm of the Hanhai Dan Sect."

……

"Sect Master, the No. 10 site has sent people to search for it, and a total of one hundred and thirteen corpses have been found, and none of them have survived."

After the old man Sheng Ling returned to the main hall of the Hanhai Danzong Mountain, the old man with white beard on the side suddenly leaned over with a serious expression and said in a condensed voice.

"Because these corpses are unrecognizable, they are still being identified, but they are probably all done by Lotte Xing."

"I see."

The old man Shengling's face was unwavering, but there was a faint trace of anger in his originally indifferent heart.

I condensed my divine knowledge and confronted the woman for a moment, and the participating Dan masters in the No. 10 venue actually let the people of Lotte Xing kill them?

"Damn it!"
