The first volume debuts Chapter 101: Guardian Chen Qing
With the efficacy of the Level 3 Spiritual Enhancement Pill, it was impossible for Li Xuanfeng to reach the peak of the middle stage of the Spiritual Foundation. Because the Spiritual Enhancement Pill had been stored for too long, the efficacy had dissipated a lot, and Li Xuanfeng had five kinds of spiritual power in his body. The spiritual power required for a breakthrough in cultivation was far more than that of others, and a lot of spiritual power was used to replenish the spiritual power of water and wood attributes.
In three days, Li Xuanfeng's cultivation level broke through, and it was just in time for the third-level alchemy conference to begin.
Su Ming came to the door again. He had actually been here once in these three days, and was told by Jiang Liu that Li Xuanfeng had returned after his retreat.
In these three days, except for Su Ming, almost all the second-level alchemists have come to pay homage to Li Xuanfeng, the newly promoted second-level strongest alchemist.
Fortunately, Li Xuanfeng had informed Jiang Liu before he went into seclusion, otherwise his breakthrough would have been disturbed.
Li Xuanfeng was not good at these social skills, nor did he like to be flattered by others. However, he told Jiang Liu in a rather obscure way, so Jiang Liu accepted the gifts from other second-level alchemists.
These gifts were not big, just gifts for meeting. However, Li Xuanfeng, who was in need of a lot of cultivation resources, did not despise such small gifts, and pursued the goal of accumulating small amounts into large amounts.
Li Xuanfeng was still praising himself in his heart for being considerate. If he didn't accept their gifts, they might feel uneasy. All this was for their sake.
If other second-level alchemists knew what Li Xuanfeng was thinking, I wonder if they would curse his ancestors for generations.
Li Xuanfeng stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the bustle of Danling City. At this time, countless spectators gathered outside the central attic again, waiting for the third-level alchemy conference to begin.
Jiang Liu went to open the door and welcomed Su Ming into the room. This time Su Ming did not come alone, there was a woman in green with a cold temperament beside him.
"Brother Shi, after three days of seclusion, your cultivation has reached a new level. It is really cause for celebration!" After Su Ming entered the room, he clasped his fists and bowed to Li Xuanfeng. At this time, his attitude towards Li Xuanfeng became somewhat respectful, no longer as casual as before.
Although Li Xuanfeng is also the strongest level 2 alchemist, his status is far higher than Zhang Wen's. He is an alchemist highly valued by the deputy leader Tang He, who even pulls out the entire Alchemy Alliance to protect him.
Su Ming knew that he was far inferior to him in both alchemy aptitude and cultivation aptitude. As soon as he entered the room, he discovered that Li Xuanfeng's cultivation had reached the peak of the middle stage of the spiritual foundation, and his aura seemed to be more stable than before.
Li Xuanfeng looked at the woman in green with doubt. This woman looked less than 30 years old and had a pretty face. However, the power of cultivation emanating from her body made Li Xuanfeng's pupils shrink. It was an aura similar to that of his eldest senior brother, the peak of !
"Brother Shi, this is the protector sent to you by the deputy leader, Chen Qing." Su Ming introduced.
"What? Why are they sending a woman?" Li Xuanfeng was extremely surprised. Although he knew that a protector would be sent, he never expected that it would be a woman.
"What do you mean, kid? Do you think I'm inferior to men?" Chen Qing, who originally had a cold temperament on his face, widened his eyes and shouted coldly when he heard Li Xuanfeng's words.
"No, no, it's just a little inconvenient after all." Li Xuanfeng hurriedly explained. He didn't know how long he would be with this girl in the future. She had reached the perfect level of Lingdan Realm. It would be bad if she took the opportunity to make him suffer.
"Hmph!" Chen Qing snorted coldly, and finally forgave Li Xuanfeng's disrespect.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng's frustrated look, Su Ming felt a little proud, but he didn't dare to show it. He kept muttering to himself, "You tricked me before, now let me see how you deal with this girl!"
Chen Qing is a well-known iceberg beauty. She is the daughter of an elder who appeared at the second-level alchemy conference that day and is familiar with Tang He. Her alchemy aptitude is not strong, she is only a third-level intermediate alchemist, but her cultivation aptitude is extremely high and her combat power is very good.
Tang He took into consideration Chen Qing's strong fighting ability, so it was a good idea to ask him to protect Li Xuanfeng. However, Chen Qing's father hoped that she could gain insights from Li Xuanfeng and improve her alchemy skills.
Although Chen Qing has a cold personality, she is quite strong-willed. She is quite satisfied with her cultivation, but she has always been unhappy with her alchemy skills. The level of alchemy masters is completely unable to keep up with her cultivation level. Thinking that there are many people whose alchemy level exceeds their cultivation level, she feels very unbalanced.
Influenced by her father, she was very persistent in alchemy, but her progress was slow. If her father was not a fifth-level alchemist elder, which gave her a lot of resources to try alchemy, her alchemist level would probably be even lower.
Thinking of Tang He and her father's description of Shi Feng, how he entered the legendary alchemy enlightenment at the alchemy conference, and even refined a perfect foundation-raising pill with his mid-stage spiritual foundation cultivation, which was an elixir that even she could not refine, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
So she accepted Tang He's commission and became Shi Feng's protector, hoping to learn refining techniques from Li Xuanfeng and improve her level as an alchemist.
"Brother Shi, the third-level alchemy conference is about to begin. Let's go and watch it." Su Ming invited Li Xuanfeng. The reason he came this time was to introduce Chen Qing to Li Xuanfeng, and the second was to watch the third-level alchemy conference.
"Good idea. The most important thing to improve alchemy skills is to learn more." Li Xuanfeng readily agreed. When he saw the many spectators outside the central attic, he had the idea of going to watch the third-level alchemy conference.
The two of them walked out as they talked, and Chen Qing followed them. Li Xuanfeng saw Chen Qing following and stopped: "Sister Chen Qing, I'm not that weak, you don't have to follow me all the time. If there is really danger, I can send a message to you."
Li Xuanfeng felt a little uncomfortable with a woman following him all the time, which was why he was surprised why Tang He sent Chen Qing to protect him.
"Don't think too much. Even if you are about to be killed, I may not save you. This time I am just going to watch the third-level alchemy conference." Chen Qing replied with a cold snort, and then walked out first.
Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He didn't expect that Chen Qing had not completely calmed down. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The ancients were right. It is better to offend a villain than to offend a woman.
The three of them soon arrived outside the central attic. At this time, the alchemy conference had officially begun, and hundreds of third-level alchemists began to refine pills on the alchemy table.
The third-level alchemy competition is similar to the second-level one, with three refining sessions, time limits, prescribed elixirs, and the use of the same alchemy furnace. The time limit is slightly different from the second-level alchemy competition, which is three incense sticks.
After watching for a while, Su Ming and Chen Qing were still watching with great interest , but Li Xuanfeng found it quite boring. There was not much difference between refining the third-level elixir and the second-level elixir. It was still to control the spiritual energy flow in the elixir furnace to compress the essence of the herbs and condense them into elixirs. The only difference was that the herbs used were of a higher grade and the elixir refined was more powerful.
For Li Xuanfeng, there was not much to learn. As long as one's cultivation level reached a certain level and his spiritual power was sufficient, he could refine the pills. Only a woman in purple caught his attention. Her alchemy skills far surpassed those of other third-level alchemists. Her refining speed was extremely fast. In the end, she refined three high-quality pills within three incense sticks.
The time spent on refining a third-level pill is much longer than that of a second-level pill. Within the time of three incense sticks, it is already a good speed for other third-level alchemists to refine two pills. However, only the woman in purple has refined three pills!
This woman is the strongest level three alchemist, Wang Ziyan.
"Sister Chen Qing, you are also a third-level alchemist. Why didn't you participate in the alchemy conference?" Li Xuanfeng suddenly asked curiously. He had learned from Su Ming that Chen Qing was a third-level alchemist.
"I'm giving those young people some opportunities to prevent their confidence from being greatly shaken. I'm not like Wang Ziyan, who has occupied the position of the third-level strongest alchemist for three years." Chen Qing replied after hearing this, as if he didn't care about fame and fortune at all, while Wang Ziyan was a person who only cared about fame and fortune.
However, Li Xuanfeng still understood a little bit. It seemed that the strong-willed Chen Qing did not participate in the alchemy conference because he could not compete with Wang Ziyan. If Chen Qing had the ability, how could he watch Wang Ziyan occupy the third-level strongest alchemist for such a long time.
Wang Ziyan was several years younger than Chen Qing. At the beginning, Chen Qing's alchemist level was much higher than Wang Ziyan's. Who knew that Wang Ziyan's progress was very fast. As time passed, she soon reached the same level as Chen Qing. After another year or two, she left Chen Qing far behind!
Thinking of Wang Ziyan, who was far inferior to her in the past, but now she is far beyond her reach, Chen Qing's resentment surged again, but she was completely helpless. Wang Ziyan's aptitude for alchemy was far higher than hers, and she had almost no chance of catching up.
The third-level alchemy competition ended with Wang Ziyan winning the championship again without a doubt.
