Chapter 46
Jade Everest.

Jiang Li was cultivating in a certain hall, when a figure hurriedly walked in, Xu Qingxin's face was both surprised and surprised, and said with a smile: "Junior Sister, a big event happened in the sect, you must be interested..."

Jiang Li asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Senior Sister?"

Xu Qingxin's expression was still a bit unbelievable, and said: "Just now, the sect's annual alchemy apprentice competition, the top ten and the leader have been announced. Guess who won the championship this time, you must not have guessed it!"

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "Senior Sister, you know that I haven't started for a long time, and I don't know anyone."

Xu Qingxin said: "Li Yu, it's Li Yu, he has only been learning alchemy for a few months, and he won the leader of the alchemy contest, even the disciples of two fourth-rank alchemists were compared by him... "

Hearing about Li Yu, Jiang Li immediately became interested and said, "What is the Alchemy Dao Competition, what's wrong with Li Yu, senior sister, tell me quickly..."

After a while, looking at Jiang Li with a smirk on his face, Xu Qingxin shook her head. This little girl seemed happier when she heard that Li Yu won the first prize than she did herself.

She said with some sighs: "It seems that it was really a wise decision to suggest that Junior Brother Li learn alchemy."

Afterwards, she changed her voice and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, Junior Brother Li's talent is mediocre, and he has cultivated five spiritual veins. His future achievements will be limited after all. Otherwise, those high-level alchemists in the sect would have long been competing We are rushing to accept him as a disciple."

The annual Apprentice Competition is also the time when high-ranking alchemists compete for disciples most intensely.

In previous years, the leader of the competition would definitely be scrambled by many people, except for Li Yu this time.

Third-rank alchemists look down on his talent, and second-rank alchemists are too reluctant to be his master, so this kind of embarrassing situation has formed that no one cares about him.

Jiang Li snorted softly and said, "That's because they have no foresight!"

Xu Qingxin said: "Actually, we can't blame them. Junior Brother Li has too many spiritual veins. The Qi refining stage is better. In the foundation building stage, it is difficult to improve the cultivation base. Cultivating five spiritual veins is actually equivalent to giving up the immortal way and choosing Dan Dao..."

Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "I also want to learn alchemy. When I become a third-rank alchemist, I will make alchemy for him!"

Xu Qingxin was angry and funny, and said: "Learning alchemy will delay a lot of practice time. You are a heavenly spirit, and practice is the most important thing. Master will not allow you to make alchemy. Even if master agrees, you can raise him to the foundation stage. As for the golden core stage and the Nascent Soul stage, this cannot be broken through by medicine pills..."

Looking at the frustrated Jiang Li, Xu Qingxin sighed softly and said, "Junior Sister, you should know that it is impossible between you and Junior Brother Li..."

Jiang Li lowered his head, his eyes flickered with sadness, and when he looked up at Xu Qingxin, he put on a smile again and said, "Senior Sister, where are you thinking, Li Yu and I are not the kind of relationship you think, Li Yu Yu likes the type of Senior Sister Zhou..."

Now it was Xu Qingxin's turn to be at a loss, she stared blankly at Jiang Li, and asked, "It's not that kind of relationship, you treat him so well?"

Jiang Li said as a matter of course: "If he were me, he would do the same. We agreed before that we should never forget each other..."

Xu Qingxin thought for a long time, and finally shook her head.

She grew up in the sect and practiced with her master. She didn't have such friends around her, and she couldn't experience such a relationship. Although she was three years older than Jiang Li, she was far behind Jiang Li in terms of emotional matters. Experienced.

Master once said that although Junior Sister Jiang practiced late, it was not entirely a bad thing.

Perhaps, she will form a Nascent Soul one step earlier than herself and Junior Sister Qin.

Jiang Li sighed, and said with some regret: "Senior sister, if there is such a thing in the future, you have to tell me earlier, so I can go out and see..."

Xu Qingxin thought to herself, fortunately she didn't go to see it in person, if she saw Li Yu flirting with a beautiful female disciple in front of so many people, she didn't know how she would feel.

In her heart, she still thought that Junior Sister Jiang had a crush on Li Yu.

……

At this moment, Zixiao Peak.

Zhou Zixuan looked at Li Yu in surprise, and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

After the competition was over and the ten winners received their rewards, Li Yu brought her here.

Li Yu smiled and said: "You have helped me so much, of course I have to thank you, come with me, I will treat you to dinner."

Zhou Zixuan was a little embarrassed, saying that she had helped Li Yu. In fact, any disciple of Biyun Peak or Danding Peak could do things like refining the spiritual liquid very well. You don't need to be polite, and said with a smile after hearing the words: "Then you have to be prepared to spend money..."

Soon, Li Yu brought Zhou Zixuan to a building.

This is a small building with seven floors. On the plaque on the first floor, there are three words "Piaoxiang Pavilion". From the name, it is not difficult to guess that this is a restaurant.

Although Kunlun Dongtian is a fairy cave, it also has some worldly atmosphere.

The role of Bigu Pill is only to keep the disciples from starving, but it cannot satisfy people's appetite. In the Piaoxiang Pavilion, normal meals, spirit wine, etc. are provided. Li Yu wanted to come here a long time ago, but he has been reluctant to give up spirit. currency.

In this competition, [-] Tongmai Pills were credited at one time, so I just brought Senior Sister Zhou to experience it.

The two chose a private room on the third floor, and a young female disciple, Hou Zai, asked softly in the private room, "Two brothers and sisters, what would you like to eat?"

Li Yu looked at the jade plaque hanging on the wall of the private room, and said, "Stewed ling pigeon, braised whitebait, golden pheasant in lotus leaf..., and a platter of spiritual fruits, and a pot of fine nectar."

Li Yu ordered six or seven dishes, with a mix of meat and vegetables, a linguine fruit platter, and a small pot of fruit drink.

After the female disciple wrote it down, she smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, both of you."

Zhou Zixuan saw the price marked on the jade plate, silently added it, her pretty face changed slightly, she tugged at Li Yu's sleeve, and said, "Li Yu, why don't we go, it's too expensive ..."

Just the things Li Yu ordered just now are worth more than [-] spirit coins. She only earns [-] spirit coins in half a year in Biyun Peak, and she has eaten her half-year monthly prescription for just one meal...

No wonder there are no guests here. How could ordinary disciples have so many spirit coins?

Li Yu patted her hand and said, "You can eat with confidence, I have some spiritual coins, don't you know alchemists are very rich?"

After the purchase of Tongmai Pill was restricted, Li Yu now had spirit coins that he couldn't spend, so satisfying his appetite occasionally was actually a good thing for his practice.

Kunlun Cave is a realm of its own, without distinction between day and night. After practicing here for a long time, people will get sick, and occasionally they have to relax. After practicing for so long, they still can’t enjoy themselves...

Zhou Zixuan shook his head and persuaded him: "Even if you have spirit coins, you can't waste them here. You still have to save them to exchange for Tongmai Pills. You have a lot of spiritual veins in cultivation, and you need a lot of Tongmai Pills... "

Li Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I know you are diligent and thrifty in managing your family, so I will make an exception this time..."

……

The Alchemy Apprentice Competition is an annual grand event in Kunlun Cave. When Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan were eating in Piaoxianglou, the process and results of the competition on Lingxu Peak had already swept all the peaks like a hurricane.

Danding Peak was full of joy, Li Yu, as a new disciple, won the championship, and they were also honored.

In the residence of a foundation-building elder in a certain peak, when Chen Ming heard about this, his face was a little happy and a little envious, but this did not affect the firmness in his eyes. into a room somewhere.

On a certain inverted peak, Lu Xingzhou stopped his cultivation and muttered, "Li Yu, is his alchemy talent so high?"

He didn't have the slightest bit of guilt for the fact that the sect almost missed a genius of alchemy. All alchemy and weapon refining are heresy, and they are not worth mentioning in front of the Dao of Longevity.

Jiuhua Peak.

Zhao Wuliang stood beside a middle-aged man with four pill patterns on his chest, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master, I let you down."

The middle-aged man just smiled, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said: "The realm of heaven and man, even if it is Master, I rarely meet once in decades. You just lost to luck, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Wuliang thought for a while and said, "I'm going to be promoted to a first-rank alchemist."

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "Have you decided?"

Zhao Wuliang smiled wryly, and said: "It's been like this every year for five years, maybe I have no fate with the leader of the big competition."

He has been able to refine the first-order elixir long ago, but it has been delayed until today because of the obsession of the leader of the competition.

In this big competition, he won the second place again, and he really didn't have the heart to wait for another year.

The middle-aged man nodded, and said: "It's best if you can let go, the first-level pill is not difficult for you, the master will refine a few foundation-building pills for you, build the foundation as soon as possible, and when you arrive At that time, with the strength of your three spiritual veins, within five years, you should be able to advance to the second rank."

Cuiwei Peak.

A gorgeously dressed woman looked at the girl who was pursing her lips and was obviously in a bad mood, and comforted her: "You have only been in Alchemy for a few years, and you took the third place in the competition for the first time, which is already very good. gone."

The girl raised her head and asked, "Master, is the realm of heaven and man really that powerful?"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Of course it is amazing. The last time I entered the realm of heaven and man was 30 years ago, and it was because of that experience that I was promoted to the fourth rank within ten years and entered the realm of heaven and man. It's not that you are refining alchemy, but that the elixir is refining itself..."

The girl murmured: "But that Li Yu has entered twice in a few months..."

The woman smiled and said: "Everyone has his own destiny, so you don't have to envy him. Although he is favored by alchemy, he is not pitied by immortals. It is only a matter of time before you catch up with him. You should improve your cultivation quickly." , establish the foundation as soon as possible, and refine the second-grade elixir..."

The girl rolled her eyes and said, "I think he must have some tricks to enter the realm of heaven and man more easily. I will try to get close to him first, become friends with him, and see if I can find out something... "
