"How's it going?" Chase Lu asked.
"The eighth-rank elixir is ready." Luo Hongxia spread out her palm, and in her palm suddenly appeared a crimson fire-like eighth-rank elixir, whose blazing aura even slightly distorted the surrounding space!
Chapter 97
It really is the eighth grade!
If an alchemist wants to make progress in alchemy, he not only needs extraordinary understanding, but also needs long-term training and mastering experience.
Luo Hongxia's rapid progress even surprised Lu Chen.
"The disciple borrowed the picture of landscape and nature from my senior sister, and took advantage of the time deficit in the painting that one month is equal to one day in the outside world, to comprehend the eighth-rank alchemy in advance." Luo Hongxia said truthfully.
"It turns out that Xueyan's painting still has such power." Lu Chen nodded, and a chill flashed in his eyes.
A month ago, the Sikong family sent killers to infiltrate Shushan, it's time to settle the score.
"Do you know what is the strange fire mastered by ancestor Yunxu?"
"I heard...it's called the Four Elephant Holy Fire."
"Well, I will accompany you to Tianque City tomorrow as a teacher. After I get the Four Elephant Holy Fire, I will not interfere in the next thing."
"Thank you, Master!"
Luo Hongxia raised her head, there seemed to be ripples in her clear autumn eyes.
The hatred of the family, the hatred of the country, the shame of subjugation... This day, she is finally coming!
……
a day later.
Tianque City.
Seeing Master's calm expression as usual, Luo Hongxia couldn't help asking: "Master, is he very familiar with Patriarch Yun Xu?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "It's just a one-time relationship."
"That day Que City, I'm afraid I will not hand over the Four Elephant Holy Flame to you anyway..."
Pursing her cherry lips lightly, Luo Hongxia said with firm eyes, "If I try to snatch it at that time, Master doesn't have to help me. This disciple doesn't want to be implicated in Shushan because of his personal affairs."
"Don't worry, if the master's prediction is correct, there should be no need to face the sword of Tianque City in today's trip."
Ancestor Yunxu has been immersed in alchemy all his life, but due to the limitations of incomplete alchemy formulas and medicinal materials in the current world, he has spent thousands of years of hard work and failed to refine the eighth-grade elixir.
It can be predicted that if he knows that a young girl who is only twenty or nine years old has already comprehended the eighth grade alchemy, how crazy he will be.
"Ok!"
Lu Chen took Luo Hongxia straight to the Tianque Auction.
"Sorry, this auction, only alchemists above the third rank can participate."
The token of the alchemist was not found on Lu Chen, and the two gatekeeper disciples quickly blocked the way with horizontal swords.
"Senior...it's you!"
But the next moment, the two exclaimed.
They recognized at a glance that Lu Chen was the senior who single-handedly injured Si Konghong that day, and even tore half of his green robe.
If it weren't for him, the demon sect and the remnants of the Sikong family would never have retreated so easily, and Tianque City would have lost all face.
Seeing the injustice on the road, he drew his sword to help. Even the ancestor Yunxu had been looking for this senior after hearing about it, wanting to repay the kindness of that day.
The two gatekeeper disciples didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately showed respect, put their swords back into their sheaths.
Lu Chen nodded and asked, "But I remember that any sect could participate in the auction in the past. Why is it that only alchemists can enter now?"
The two couldn't help sighing, gritted their teeth with resentment and said, "It's all because of those Sikong scum who took away the Martial God Remnant Pill, because of this matter, the reputation of our Tianque Auction House has been greatly questioned.
In order to weather the turmoil, the ancestor also had to order to reduce the number of auctions within a year, and only those with alchemy qualifications could enter the auction. "
"It's actually the work of the Sikong family?" Hearing this, Luo Hongxia couldn't help but slightly frowned, her dislike for the Sikong family deepened in her heart.
"To be able to snatch the Martial God Remnant Pill from Tianque City in broad daylight, I really don't know what kind of insidious and cunning methods Sikong used.
The members of the Sikong family are really a group of beasts in clothes and claws, especially that Sikong Hong who stole the Martial God Remnant Pill, everyone can be punished! "
As the culprit, Lu Chen coughed dryly and rolled his eyelids: "Hongxia, it's not uncommon for people to scramble for magic weapons in the cultivation world. In fact, you don't need to scold so hard."
Luo Hongxia folded her arms on her chest and snorted coldly: "However, such a self-willed and depraved person like Sikong Hong is definitely rare, and it is a pity that the apprentice was not present at the time, otherwise this villain would have to be killed." Thousands of swords with my own hands..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Before she finished speaking, Luo Hongxia suddenly saw Lu Chen coughing heavily.
"Master, what's wrong?" Thinking back to Lu Chen's mastery of sword formations in order to teach his disciples, Luo Hongxia suddenly felt a twinge in his heart.
Could it be that the master has worked too hard and left hidden diseases in his body?
For Shushan, Master has really paid too much...
"Master, I have brought two ice lotus pills with me, which have the effect of healing dark wounds, you should take them first."
"No, no, it's just that my throat just happened to be uncomfortable just now, it's not a problem."
Fortunately, her concern for Master overwhelmed her hatred, and Luo Hongxia didn't mention Si Konghong's matter again.
"Senior, please come in. As long as you ask, our Tianque Auction House is willing to make an exception for you."
The two gatekeeper disciples had already moved aside to make way for them.
"No, since I came to Tianque City, I should follow the rules here."
The five fingers were slightly retracted, and a surging breath suddenly turned into a vortex from Lu Chen's palm, and countless thunderbolts rushed from the sky and the earth like silver snakes.
Clouds surged in Lu Chen's palm, like a small world of its own, with thousands of thunderbolts intertwined in the dark clouds.
The next moment, he clenched his palm suddenly, and the endless turbulent thunder suddenly condensed into a point, continuously collapsing towards the center.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and when the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a light blue panacea lay impressively in Lu Chen's palm.
Wild Lei Dan!
The two gatekeeper disciples gasped at the same time, and their eyes almost froze.
Kneading a sixth-grade Wild Thunder Pill with bare hands?
So far, they have only seen this kind of supernatural power in Patriarch Yunxu!
If using the alchemy furnace, wouldn't this senior at least be able to refine a seventh-rank elixir?
Seventh-rank alchemists are rare in the entire southern region. Even if Tianque City counts all the veterans who have retreated, they may not be able to make up a single number.
This senior is so secretive!
Luo Hongxia was also slightly taken aback.
This was the first time she saw Lu Chen concocting alchemy, and she didn't expect that Master would be so amazing when he made a move.
Others can only achieve something on one path throughout their lives, but Master seems to be omnipotent, with amazing attainments in all fields.
But the more this was the case, the more distressed Luo Hongxia felt when she recalled how Lu Chen was weak and coughing just now.
To be able to achieve such a level of attainment in each subject, how hard is Master working every day in an unknown place...
Chapter 98
"Can I go in now?" Chase Lu spread out his palms, and the Wild Thunder Pill appeared in his palms.
"of course can!"
The two gatekeeper disciples immediately led the way in fear.
On the way, the two finally couldn't help asking: "Why did seniors come to the auction site this time? With seniors' alchemy level, it seems that we don't need the pills from Tianque City."
"I'm here because I want to borrow something from Patriarch Yunxu."
"Borrow something?" The two suddenly said: "Don't worry, senior, you have been kind to our Tianque City. No matter what you borrow, I think Patriarch Yunxu will not begrudge you."
As he said that, the gatekeeper disciple had already arrived at the auction house, but at this moment a noisy sound came out.
"I didn't expect Tianque City to openly sell this kind of poisonous pill. You are really unscrupulous for profit!"
"Oh, it's no wonder that Tianque City is coveted by the Demon Sect. It turns out that they are secretly earning such ill-gotten gains. If the matter of poisonous pills cannot be resolved today, I think Tianque City will just retire and consciously unload the number one in the Southern Territory. Danmeng's name."
Seeing the situation inside, the expressions of the two disciples changed immediately: "Are you from the Baihong Chamber of Commerce?"
The Baihong Chamber of Commerce is the seventh top chamber of commerce in the Southern Territory. It trades hundreds of thousands of elixirs every year, which is only under Tianque City.
Because of this, the Baihong Chamber of Commerce almost regarded Tianque City as a thorn in its side. It had made trouble many times before, and this time when Tianque City was in danger, they obviously wanted to take this opportunity to add insult to injury.
In the auction room, the deputy helm of the Baihong Chamber of Commerce was brazenly holding a pill above his head, wishing for everyone to see it.
"Everyone is optimistic, Tianquecheng, the leader of the alchemy league, refined the raw bone pills that are actually poisonous pills. I bought two raw bone pills yesterday. I planned to heal my father's wounds, but I didn't think about it. I just ate one. , the old man was poisoned and died on the spot.
Today, I must seek justice for my father! "
After finishing speaking, Bai Chenghong focused on injecting a ray of spiritual energy into the alchemy.
I saw that the raw bone pill that was originally white turned into purple-black in an instant.
"This, this raw bone pill is actually poisonous!"
"Elder Duan, what is going on?"
Even though the monks present didn't believe it at first, seeing the strange color of the raw bone pill with their own eyes, they all became suspicious.
Elder Duan was so angry that his face turned livid: "Bai Cheng! You spitting blood! There are indeed scorpion venom and five-step snake saliva in the raw bone pill we refined, but this is Tianque City's exclusive recipe. It only needs to be neutralized with three loess. Far from being toxic, the two can complement each other and have great curative effects."
"Really?" Bai Cheng sneered: "But the problem is, the raw bone pill I bought was indeed poisonous, and it even poisoned my father to death."
Elder Duan was furious: "How do you prove that you didn't tamper with these pills in your hands?"
"How do you prove that your raw bone pill itself is not a problem?"
These rhetorical questions left Elder Duan speechless.
He knew that it was very likely that Bai Cheng had tampered with the raw bone pill, and even bought an extra one to frame Tianque City, but he didn't know how to explain it.
After all, the other party was already dead without proof, and it was Bai Cheng's own father who died.
For a moment, even Elder Duan doubted himself a little.
Could it be that he really forgot to put in the three loess to neutralize the poison when he was making alchemy?
It couldn't be that Bai Cheng poisoned his own father to death in order to frame Tianque City, right?
If that's the case, then it's really... too filial.
Elder Duan's silence quickly caused an uproar.
"Why did Elder Duan suddenly stop talking? Is it true what Bai Cheng said?"
"Hey, even though it's Tianque City's secret recipe, I never imagined that they would actually dare to use Scorpio Poison and Five-Step Snake Saliva as medicinal materials. If they make a mistake, wouldn't the user who takes it be sure to die?"
"Tianque City has done this, who will dare to buy the pills refined in Tianque City in the future!"
There are more and more doubts, and Tianque City is already at the cusp of the crisis. If it cannot make a reasonable explanation, its reputation will definitely plummet.
"How about handing over the raw bone pill in your hand and let me explain it?"
At this moment, Chase Lu stepped into the auction room.
Bai Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling: "Who are you?"
Lu Chen sneered, "You don't need to know."
"The rats who dare not even report their names are worthy of..."
"Go away!"
Suddenly a strong wind appeared in the void, before Bai Cheng could finish speaking, he was slapped and flew away.
A few monks frowned: "You have already poisoned a person's life, and instead of admitting your mistake, your Tianque City actually beat people!"
But in the next second, the doubts stopped abruptly.
I saw that the raw bone pill flying into the air was quickly decomposed under Lu Chen's control, and it didn't take long before it was restored to a liquid form corresponding to dozens of medicinal materials.
