Chapter 355 Nie Chengfeng
"Hell, Song Chun is too ruthless. The Illusion Breaking Pill is a king-level low-grade panacea. It has the magical effect of breaking illusions, but the difficulty of refining is comparable to some king-level mid-level panacea. Xiao Ran is doomed."
"Actually, Xiao Ran has no chance of winning. After all, he only has a cultivation level at the early stage of the Faxiang Realm. How strong is alchemy? At least I have never heard of a martial artist at the early stage of the Faxiang Realm who can refine a king-level low-grade panacea."
"It seems that he has to cut off his own hands."
Everyone looked at Xiao Ran pitifully, shook their heads and sighed, and agreed that he couldn't beat Li Tiangong at all.
"Pill of Breaking Illusion?" Xiao Ran frowned slightly. Song Chun asked him to compete with Li Tiangong to refine this pill, which seemed to be planned for a long time.
"Hahaha, little bastard, I'm afraid you've already regretted it now? Because with your cultivation base, not to mention refining the magic pill, even refining top-level pills is very difficult. Unfortunately, you have no chance to regret it. .” Song Chun laughed wildly.
"Song Chun, you will regret it." Xiao Ran said seriously.
"I'll regret it? Just kidding, you're the one who should regret it." Song Chun sneered at Xiao Ran's words, and said with contempt: "Little beast, I'll give you a day to collect the elixir. At noon tomorrow, you and Junior Brother Li is outside the Pill Pavilion, competing to make the Breaking Illusion Pill."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded calmly.
"Little beast, you should prepare your knife and cut off your own hands." Song Chun gave Xiao Ran a hard look, and then said loudly to everyone: "Everyone is free tomorrow, so you must go to the Pill Pavilion and see if this little beast is How could you lose to me, Junior Brother Li, and cut off your own hands."
After saying this, he said to Li Tiangong beside him: "Tiangong, let's go." After speaking, he took the stupid Li Tiangong and left the elixir pavilion.
Looking at the back of Song Chun and the two leaving, Xiao Ran's eyes flashed coldly, then he regained his composure, turned to Deacon Song and said, "Deacon Song, please prepare for me the elixir for refining the magic pill, the magic heart grass , Yunling flower, fire sunflower..."
"Okay." Deacon Song sighed softly, gave Xiao Ran a complicated look, then turned around and entered the stone room to get magic herbs such as Magic Heart Grass, Yunling Flower, and Fire Sunflower.
Of course, there are also the demon soul flower and beast blood crystal that Xiao Ran needed before, and Deacon Song took them together and gave them to Xiao Ran.
"Thank you, Deacon Song." Xiao Ran was in a good mood when he got the elixir, but he was still a little heartbroken because his net worth had shrunk to more than 7000 million yuan.
"Go, Nephew Xiao, I don't want to hear the news that you cut off your hands tomorrow." Deacon Song waved and sighed.He was still very optimistic about Xiao Ran at first, but now he felt that Xiao Ran had no hope.
"Deacon Song, don't worry, you won't hear the news." Xiao Ran smiled confidently, and after putting away these elixir, he bid farewell to Deacon Song and left the elixir pavilion.
Swish!
Soon Xiao Ran returned to Wanling Peak. The Zijin Mouse King and the Black Jade Horned Python King were overjoyed when they saw him come back, and surrounded him one after another, looking at him eagerly.
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Hei, I have collected most of the elixir for refining the beast spirit pill, but there is only one that is missing, but don't worry, I will be able to get it tomorrow." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and explained .
The Zijin Mouse King and the Black Jade Horned Python King were a little disappointed and looked forward to it, and then returned to the corner of the Millennium Cold Jade Bed to continue their cultivation.
Swish!
Xiao Ran sat on the thousand-year-old cold jade bed, his eyes glowed brightly and he said: "Although Pohuan Pill is a king-level low-grade panacea, with my alchemy technique, it can definitely be refined."
Xiao Ran is very confident, because he was the number one alchemist in Da Luo Immortal World in his previous life.
At the same time, the news of Xiao Ran and Li Tiangong's competition to make the Illusory Pill was also spread throughout the entire spiritual law school by Song Chun. The sensation caused by this incident was greater than that of Xiao Ran and Xu Can on the stage of life and death.
Everyone who heard the news felt that Xiao Ran was arrogant and ignorant. Although Li Tiangong was out of his mind, he was superb in alchemy. Refining king-level low-grade pills was as simple as eating and drinking water.
On the other hand, Xiao Ran, how could he refine a king-level low-grade panacea with only the initial stage of Faxiang Realm?
You know, they have been practicing for so many years, and they have never met a king-level low-rank alchemist who was in the early stages of the Faxiang Realm. How could Xiao Ran be an exception?
"Xiao Ran actually wants to compete with Li Tiangong in alchemy? Or refining the magic pill?"
Wang Yue and the others also knew the news, and they were shocked for a moment. They originally thought that after the battle between Xiao Ran and Xu Can, they would be peaceful for a while, but they didn't expect that Xiao Ran would make such a big commotion in the past few days. .
At this time, they all admired Xiao Ran a little, because Xiao Ran had already become famous after only a few days of joining the Spiritual Method Gate, even more famous than some elders.
But they were also worried about Xiao Ran. Among the king-level low-grade alchemists, Li Tiangong was one of the best. Can Xiao Ran beat him?
"Xiao Ran will definitely win." Only Fang Luobing has great confidence in Xiao Ran, because she understands Xiao Ran's alchemy skills and is absolutely outstanding.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was high and the air was clear. The bright morning sun had just appeared in the sky above the Dan Pavilion, and dozens of disciples appeared near the Dan Pavilion.
When the sun was shining high in the sky, thousands of disciples of the Spiritual Method had already gathered in the square in front of the Pill Pavilion, and they all came to see Xiao Ran and Li Tiangong compete in alchemy.
"Li Tiangong refines various king-level low-grade spirit pills like a messenger. Xiao Ran is only at the early stage of the Faxiang Realm, so it is impossible to refine king-level low-grade spirit pills. He is doomed to lose in this competition."
"It's just a clown who is complacent after winning Xu Can. He competes with Li Tiangong in alchemy, and he will kill himself."
"Haha, I can't wait to see him cut off his hands."
Everyone was discussing, unanimously disliked Xiao Ran, and contemptuous of his actions.
After a while, someone shouted: "Brother Song Chun and Li Tiangong are here."
Everyone looked out after hearing the words, only to see Song Chun walking out of the bright sunshine with Li Tiangong.
The dull-looking Li Tiangong walked behind Song Chun, like a small follower, and Song Chun walked in front, smiling all over his face, and said to everyone, "Welcome all brothers and sisters to come to support Li, thank you, thank you."
"Senior Brother Song is too polite."
Most of the disciples in the Faxiang Realm bowed their hands in return, and some disciples in the True Spirit Realm also nodded their greetings to Song Chun. After all, his master was the Supreme Elder Han Lin.
Enjoying everyone's return gifts, Song Chun was in a good mood, and released a breaking news: "I tell you a piece of good news, my brother Nie Chengfeng from Leifeng has left the customs, and he has broken through the Divine Sea Realm."
"What? Brother Nie Chengfeng broke through to the Divine Sea Realm?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and felt a sense of awe in their hearts. You must know that before Nie Chengfeng broke through the Divine Sea Realm, he had already swept away all the disciples of the True Spirit Realm in the Spiritual Method Sect. Now that he has broken through the Divine Sea Realm, his strength has increased.
The most important thing is that Nie Chengfeng is only in his early 30s. Breaking through to the Divine Sea Realm at such a young age is extremely rare in the Land of Sin. In the future, stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm is definitely a certainty.
Song Chun was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Everyone, Senior Brother Nie Chengfeng came out of the customs today, and learned that Junior Brother Li and Xiao Ran were competing in alchemy, so he came here to cheer for Junior Brother Li. Let us welcome Nie Chengfeng Brother Feng."
"What? Brother Nie Chengfeng is here?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and looked in all directions, wanting to find traces of Nie Canghai, and some recent disciples wanted to take a look even more at this famous senior brother Nie Chengfeng.
hum!
A mass of brilliant light rose from the distant Zhenlei Peak, the light was like thunder, and it roared, as if a thunderbolt flew over, plowing out a wave of air tens of feet high.
After a few breaths, this thunderbolt landed outside the Pill Pavilion, and when the thunder light subsided, a tall and well-proportioned young man emerged.
This young man is wearing a costume with a painting of Thunder Rune, and there is an image of the God of Thunder on his back, and he himself, with a thunder crown, two eyebrows like swords, a nose like a gall, and an imposing appearance, can be called a leader among people. dragon and phoenix.
On his body surface, glittering and translucent thunder streaks flashed, stepping on the thunder light, showing immeasurable majesty and momentum, which made people stare sideways and feel admiration in their hearts.
Every disciple who saw him was overwhelmed with joy and willingly bowed down and said, "I greet Senior Brother Nie Chengfeng." This scene is like a group of officials meeting the king.
If it was any other warrior, facing the meeting of so many people, he would definitely be in chaos, but Nie Chengfeng is worthy of being Nie Chengfeng. .”
"What a powerful force."
At this moment, everyone felt an invisible force holding their hands up, and their hearts were suddenly shocked, panicked, envious, and awed.
"Sooner or later, I, Song Chun, will also be able to become a strong man in the Divine Sea Realm." Looking at the majestic Nie Chengfeng, Song Chun clenched his fists, his eyes were bright, and he thought ambitiously.
"Senior Brother Nie, you're here." Li Tiangong danced happily when he saw Nie Chengfeng.
"God, I'm here to cheer for you." Nie Chengfeng smiled.
"Yeah." Li Tiangong nodded like a chicken pecking rice. He was much closer to Nie Chengfeng than to Song Chun.
"Song Chun, Xiao Ran hasn't come yet?" Nie Chengfeng asked casually.
"The little beast isn't there yet, Senior Brother Nie please wait a moment." Song Chun replied respectfully.
"Okay." Nie Chengfeng nodded, then looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, this time Tiangong and Na Xiaoran have a competition in alchemy. I, Nie Chengfeng, am not good enough. I set up a game here. Tiangong wins, one pays one." If Xiao Ran wins, he will pay ten for every one. If you are interested, you can ask Junior Brother Song Chun to register and bet."
"Senior Brother Nie, none of us know about Brother Li's alchemy. Xiao Ran is only at the early stage of Faxiang Realm, so how high can alchemy be, so we all bet on Brother Li to win."
Everyone laughed out loud when they heard the words, and they all took out primeval stones and bet on Li Tiangong to win. From their point of view, there was no suspense in this alchemy competition.
"Junior Sister Cheng is here."
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a graceful and beautiful woman in green clothes came from the Dan Pavilion, like a noble green lotus, she was Cheng Ying.
When everyone saw her, the male disciples fell in love with her, while the female disciples felt ashamed.
"Junior Sister Cheng, you are here." Nie Chengfeng smiled slightly, showing a gentleman's demeanor, which made people feel good.
"Senior Brother Nie, you can do it, but you actually came to our Pill Pavilion to set up a game?" Cheng Ying snorted softly.
"Junior Sister Cheng, you won't blame me for stealing your business?" Nie Chengfeng asked with a smile.
"Senior Brother Nie, don't worry, not only will I not blame you for stealing my business, but I will also praise your reputation." Cheng Ying shook her head and said.
"Oh, I don't know how much Yuanshi Junior Sister Cheng Ying wants to bet? You bet too much, I can't afford to pay you back." Nie Chengfeng laughed.
"I bet 1 million yuan." Cheng Ying stretched out her fair index finger, waved it in front of Nie Chengfeng's eyes, and said with a smile: "This time, I will win 10 billion yuan back."
"Junior Sister Cheng, are you going to bet on Xiao Ran to win?" Nie Chengfeng asked with a frown.
