Best Ascension

Chapter 188 Alchemist Association

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and asked Chen Guanxi through a voice transmission: "Chen Daoyou, what are the rules for this gambling? Why is the Supreme Elder's face so ugly? Could it be that my Spring and Autumn League is not sure of winning?"

Chen Guanxi showed a wry smile on his face after hearing this, and replied in a low voice: "If you really want to gamble, I'm afraid the alliance really has little chance of winning! Fellow Daoist Zhao doesn't know that Xuan Xiao teaches a life-fighting technique. Once activated, The strength of the caster has exploded by at least [-]% in a short period of time, and monks of the same level are almost invincible."

Although Chen Guanxi lowered his voice, the lowest level of the people present was at the Foundation Establishment Stage. How could they not hear, the other people's momentum dropped sharply, and the faces of the two real people, Qi Feng and Chi Yuan, turned black.

Hearing this, Gu Yanqiu's face was as calm as water, but his eyes couldn't help showing two points of contempt.

"Haha, if you want to gamble, how can my Spring and Autumn League be afraid of the Xuanxiao Sect, just agree!"

At this moment, someone outside the palace gate suddenly laughed and said.

As soon as the words fell, there was a flash of figures outside the hall, and three people walked in.

Then, I saw a thin, white-faced old man wearing a jade white dan robe and exuding a strong dan fragrance striding into the hall.

"Master Xu Chong!" Someone shouted immediately upon seeing the person coming.

Seeing this, Qi Feng and Chi Yuan looked at each other, as if they had thought of something, their faces showed joy.The real Changkong stroked his long beard and smiled slightly.

Seeing the visitor, the other guest elders present stood up and greeted him respectfully, calling "Master" non-stop.

"The person who came was Xu Chong, a famous alchemy master in Sui Xinghai. It is rumored that this person is one of the rare alchemy masters in Sui Xinghai who can refine golden elixirs. I didn't expect this person to have joined the Spring and Autumn League."

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng was very surprised, but after sweeping his eyes, he fell on the two people who came in behind Xu Chong, they were two young men, a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in black, his complexion was sallow, and his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at everyone present with a proud face.

The woman was about twenty years old, with a graceful appearance and a beautiful appearance, and she exuded an aura unique to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Zhao Sheng looked at this woman's appearance, and his heart suddenly moved, and he found that she looked somewhat similar to the real Changkong.

Alchemy master Xu Chong led the two of them into the hall under the gaze of everyone.

When Gu Yanqiu saw Xu Chong appearing, although there was a hint of surprise on his face, there was no surprise, he just smiled and said:

"Congratulations to Senior Changkong for another big help. The Spring and Autumn League can have Master Xu Chong join, I'm afraid I have a lot of confidence in this gambling?"

Daoist Changkong's eyes flashed, and he said with a chuckle: "The special envoy was joking, and this gambling is a last resort. If Xuan Xiao teaches wisdom and fun, I don't want to hurt each other's friendship.

Gu Yanqiu smiled and said nothing, an inexplicable meaning appeared in his eyes.

At this time, Xu Chong stepped forward to exchange greetings with the three Jindan Daoists of the Spring and Autumn League and Gu Yanqiu, then pointed to the young man, and introduced in front of everyone: "Let me introduce you. This is the little disciple Ge Chen, a few years ago when I was exchanging ideas with fellow alchemists in the Danding School, I saw that his talent was not bad by chance, so I accepted him as a disciple. As for Yao'er, no need to introduce it!"

As soon as the words fell, Master Chiyuan joked: "Yao'er, the daughter of the Spring and Autumn League, you are very precious! Seeing your father and uncles, why don't you say hello!"

Upon hearing this, the pretty woman said coquettishly, "Uncle Chi, you're making fun of me again!"

After finishing speaking, she bowed to the real person Yingying in the sky, and said respectfully: "My daughter, Chu Yao, has met her father. It's been a long time since I saw him, and my father looks much lighter."

"Yao'er, get up quickly! In the past ten years, you followed Master Xu Chong to travel the Central Continent, have you gained anything?" Changkong Daoist flicked his long sleeves, and a red light rolled out, helped Chu Yao up, and asked seriously road.

"My daughter will naturally gain a lot,..."

Just as the father and daughter were talking, Zhao Sheng showed a very interested expression on his face.

As a human being in this world, he heard the name of Dan Dingzong again. Recalling the past life, he couldn't help but lament that time flies and people don't come again.

Then, he suddenly became interested in alchemy master Xu Chong.He wants to learn alchemy, this person is the best candidate.

From then on, Zhao Sheng came up with Xu Chong's idea, secretly thinking about how to learn the true teaching of alchemy from him.

After a while, Xu Chong and his two disciples, Chu Yao and Ge Chen, were seated one by one, and the atmosphere of the hall had become eager and joyful because of the joining of alchemy masters.

Gu Yanqiu was very interested in Xu Chong, during the chat, several times faintly revealed the intention of soliciting.

An alchemy master, even in Suzaku Island, is very rare, and it is enough for Gu Yanqiu to put down his body to recruit him.

However, when facing Gu Yanqiu's solicitation, Xu Chong treated him with a smile on his face, and kept his words calm, but he didn't intend to be tempted at all.

Gu Yanqiu hit a snag, although he was secretly angry in his heart, there was no abnormality on his face.

After he chuckled, he turned around and said to Master Changkong: "Since the Spring and Autumn League has Master Xu Chong's help, it seems that the gambling and fighting matter has been very successful. This junior will go back and return to order, and by the way, go to the Xuanxiao Sect to set the time for the gambling and fighting." .”

"In this case, the special envoy is good to go! Fellow Daoist Qifeng, you see off the guest for me." After Changkong Daoist nodded, he had no intention of keeping him any longer, and instructed the old Taoist Qifeng next to him.

Although Daoist Qifeng was the deputy leader of the Spring and Autumn League, he showed no signs of reluctance at the moment, and immediately agreed, and personally sent Gu Yanqiu out of the hall.

When Qi Feng returned to the main hall, Master Changkong's eyes slowly swept across the main hall, and seeing everyone's respectful expressions, he smiled slightly and spoke kindly. "Okay, let's come here first today. Everyone, go back and do your own business. About the gambling and fighting, I will let everyone announce it after I discuss it with the two deputy leaders. Let's go!"

"Here, following the leader's will, this subordinate will step down first!" Everyone in the main hall stood up and said hello loudly, then took their leave and left.

After Zhao Sheng got up to take his leave and left, in the blink of an eye, there were only Daoist Changkong, the two deputy leaders, Xu Chong and his two apprentices left in the hall. .
"Yao'er, you take your senior brother and go down to rest first." Master Zhangkong pondered for a while, then said to Chu Yao.

Chu Yao lightly declared "yes", but dissatisfaction flashed across the proud Ge Chen's eyes, he hesitated to speak, but was dragged out of the hall by his junior sister.

In a blink of an eye, only Daoist Changkong, Daoist Qifeng, Daoist Chiyuan and Xu Chong were left in the hall.

The four of them discussed some secret matters in the alliance in the main hall. It can be seen that Xu Chong has a very close relationship with the Spring and Autumn League, and those secrets in the alliance are not hidden from him at all.

But the strange thing is that the four of them didn't mention a word about the gambling with Xuan Xiaojiao.

Half an hour later, when everything was said and Qi Feng, Chi Yuan, and Xu Chong also got up to leave, Master Changkong suddenly said lightly:
"By the way, you need to investigate the leak of Qixingjiao's spiritual veins, Fellow Daoist Qifeng, I will leave this matter to you!"

"Yes, leader!" Qi Feng narrowed his eyes, then clapped his hands and said yes.

Master Chi Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything, but retreated out without a word.

After he was the only one left in the hall, the smile on Changkong's face slowly disappeared, and he slapped the jade chair heavily with his right hand.

In the next moment, the jade chair was silently shattered into a pile of powder

……

After leaving the main hall, Zhao Sheng declined Meng Quyi's, Zhao Guanxi's and others' invitation to gather together, but agreed that he would personally visit each cave in the next few days.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Zhao Sheng Yu sent Feijian, transformed into Jianhong, and went straight to Xiaguang Island, a sub-island of Jiuzhen Island.

Xiaguang Island Danhuofang,

As soon as Zhao Sheng landed on the street of Danhuofang, he immediately smelled the unusually strong fragrance of pills and medicines.

Danhuofang is Jiuzhen Island's main business of alchemy and elixir sales. It has the largest number of elixir shops. It has the most alchemists and a huge flow of people.

On both sides of the street in Fangshi, there are various pharmacies and elixir shops, and the streets are crowded with people. From time to time, you can see an alchemist in a elixir robe surrounded by a group of casual practitioners walking through the streets, and there are endless compliments.

It can be seen from this that in Jiuzhen Island, the status of alchemists is not generally high, and the relationship between supply and demand is seriously unbalanced.

As the evening approached, Zhao Sheng walked out of Fangshi with a slightly disappointed expression.

It turned out that he went around the alchemy workshop and went around the elixir shops in the fang city. He bought a lot of various elixir and elixir seeds, but the alchemy furnace that caught his eye was Didn't even buy one, let alone Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.

After asking again and again, he found out that most of the sales of Tiandi Linghuo, alchemy recipes, and alchemy furnaces were monopolized by the Alchemy Society, and the Danhuofang City only allowed the trading of ordinary alchemy recipes and alchemy stoves of average quality.

As for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, it is forbidden by the Alchemist Association, and it is extremely difficult to appear in Fangshi shops.

The Alchemy Association has a high reputation in Jiuzhen Island and has great potential influence. All the alchemists on the island, without exception, have joined the Alchemy Association.

And its foreign station is located under Wanxia Peak on Xiaguang Island.

After leaving Fangshi, Zhao Sheng had already made up his mind.Without further ado, he released the flying sword, turned into a sword rainbow, and fled towards Wanxia Peak.

Just a few minutes later, a sword rainbow flew from a distance at a high speed, and when it approached a mountain peak emitting white smoke, the sword rainbow turned and fell quickly.

Zhao Sheng scattered the sword light and stood under the Wanxia Peak.

This Wanxia Peak is quite strange, it looks like a big red chimney from a distance, and the top of the mountain is a sunken valley, and the deepest part is a steaming volcanic lake, and there are caves carved out of the surrounding mountain walls. Alchemists in red robes came in and out.

And at the foot of the mountain stood a large building, with several palaces of different sizes standing in the middle, among which the most magnificent hall had three big characters "Danshihui" painted in gold lacquer.

After Zhao Sheng took a rough look at the building complex in front of him, he walked towards the Cauldron Furnace Hall.

After he showed the guest token to the guard at the door, he entered the cauldron furnace hall smoothly

As soon as Zhao Sheng stepped into it, a white-robed young man with a three-ear alchemy furnace tattooed on his chest greeted him.

"This fellow Taoist is very polite. Are you here to buy a pill furnace, or do you have a pill furnace to sell?" the white-robed youth asked in a rather respectful tone.

"Well, I want to buy a convenient alchemy furnace. The quality is better, and the alchemy furnace with spirit weapon level is the best." Zhao Sheng said in a flat tone. .

Hearing the words, the white-robed young man's eyes brightened and his expression became more respectful. He hurriedly said, "Senior, please come with me. Master Jin Ming is on duty. He must have an alchemy furnace that you are satisfied with."

"lead the way!"

After Zhao Sheng responded, he followed the white-robed youth through the main hall, through a corridor, and came to a side hall.

After entering the side hall, he saw a short, fat old man with a bald head and beard, holding a rusty pill stove in his hand, and carefully observing the inscriptions on the surface of the pill stove.

Zhao Sheng glanced at the other person, knowing that this person was the so-called Master Jin Ming.

The young man in white robe stepped forward and whispered something to the old man.

The short and fat old man put down the alchemy stove, turned his head to look at Zhao Sheng, and suddenly smiled and said: "So it's a business! Please come here, fellow daoist, the old man doesn't have many other things, but the most high-quality alchemy stoves. Make sure you come here with pleasure and return with satisfaction!"

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, walked forward, bowed his hands as a salute, and sat opposite the old man.

As soon as he sat down, the short and fat old man couldn't wait to ask: "I don't know what grade of alchemy furnace you want to buy?"

Zhao Sheng said calmly, "Does your lord have a spirit-level alchemy furnace?"

"Huh?! This... this. It's not easy to handle!" The short and fat old man gasped, rubbing his hands and covering his face in embarrassment.

"Could it be that fellow daoists don't have it? A big alchemist doesn't even have a spirit weapon, alchemy furnace!" Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows, deliberately provoking a hint of provocation in his tone.

Master Jin Ming almost jumped up when he heard the words, and said directly: "How is it possible, let alone one, ten or eight, we can all take them out, but..."

"But what, fellow daoist, you might as well speak out."

After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he let out his own foundation-building aura, and at the same time took out the guest token, and pushed it in front of the short and fat old man.

Master Jin Ming sensed Zhao Sheng's foundation building aura, saw the token again, immediately relaxed, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the senior guest of the Spring and Autumn League, now it's all right, everyone is our own family. There are some rules that don't need to be mentioned .”

Without asking, the short and fat old man immediately explained to Zhao Sheng.

It turns out that the alchemy furnace is a special type of magic weapon, and its refining difficulty is much more difficult than that of the same level of magic weapon, and the spirit-level alchemy furnace is even more difficult.

Even with the strength of the Alchemist Association, the daily number of spirit weapon pill furnaces that can be traded will not exceed twenty.

In order to prevent the loss of the spirit weapon pill furnace, the alchemy club secretly made a rule not to sell it to "outsiders", unless the outsider can produce a treasure that makes the guild's heart beat.

The Spring and Autumn League is the overlord of Jiuzhen Island, and the Alchemist Association is also under its protection, so the Jiji Keqing in the alliance is not considered an outsider.

But even so, the trading of spirit weapon level alchemy furnaces must follow the rules of barter, and spirit stones must not be used for trading.

To put it bluntly, the alchemist would be so rich that he would look down on mere spirit stones, except of course the top-grade spirit stones.

After listening to the short and fat old man's explanation, Zhao Sheng fell silent, feeling a little embarrassed.

He thought over and over again, he didn't have many things that could be traded in his hands, the most suitable one was "The Essence of Alchemy Explanation: Baidan Fang" written by Shen Hezi.

But do you really want to exchange this alchemy for an alchemy furnace?
For a moment, he couldn't make up his mind.
