Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

It was at this time that she unexpectedly met Yin You and immediately challenged him. Yin You did not refuse, but only put forward a condition, that is, if he won, Cang Lan Meng would not be able to challenge him again for a short time.

The confident Cang Lan Meng agreed without thinking, she never thought she would lose.

It was not until the moment she officially fought with Yin You that Cang Lan Meng realized how terrifying the opponent's strength was. Even if she used all her strength, she could barely compete with him, and in the end she was defeated without a doubt.

This made Cang Lan Meng, who had practiced Taoism for decades without ever being defeated, a little confused, but what made her even more confused was that Yin You only used the magic of gold and fire.

Canglan Meng was knowledgeable and naturally saw through that he was practicing the Five Elements. However, when facing him, the other party only used less than half of his strength, which made Canglan Meng extremely depressed.

After being lost for a few days, Cang Lan Meng finally regained her spirits and found Yin You who had not left yet, and made an agreement with him to fight again in a year.

After this incident, Cang Lan Meng returned to the sect and practiced in seclusion for a whole year. He even broke through to the early ninth realm. Then he set out for Xuelingxu, but by that time Yin You had disappeared without a trace.

Over the past twenty years, Cang Lan Meng would go to the North every few years to inquire about Yin You's whereabouts, but the answers she got were always similar, which made her extremely disappointed.

This time was no exception. After learning that the demon army that attacked the Haodang Academy had retreated, Canglan Meng rushed back to the sect without stopping, wanting to ask the monk Xuelingxu about Yin You's whereabouts.

After hearing from the sect disciples that they were now in the Danxin Palace, Cang Lan Meng rushed over immediately. She happened to see the Thirteen Hidden Clans and the Xueling Ruins having a conflict, so she did them a favor.

What surprised her was that fellow Taoist Bai Weier seemed to know Yin You's whereabouts.

This discovery made Canglan Meng's heart pound.

Chapter 244: The Secret of Huatian Immortal Sect

Just as the two were talking secretly via telepathy, Lian Tong, the Thirteen Hidden Clan elder who had performed the elixir-exploding technique, also came to the last step of refining the elixir, melting the elixir.

The fire in the alchemy furnace in front of him was gradually increasing in intensity. After reaching a certain limit, it suddenly condensed inward and finally went out completely in just a few breaths.

"call……"

Lian Tong, who had been in a state of high concentration, slowly exhaled, and the madness in his eyes gradually faded away.

He stretched out a hand toward the alchemy furnace.

The next moment, a crystal clear elixir that looked like jade flew out of the alchemy furnace and hovered in the air, filling the air with the fragrance of the elixir.

Eight-turn elixir, Qingming awakening pill.

"With such a refreshing fragrance, this Qingming Awakening Pill can be considered top-grade."

"What my fellow Taoist said makes sense."

"Unfortunately, the fire was too strong, leaving a slight flaw on the elixir, which may damage the efficacy of the elixir."

"You are right, my friend. Perhaps this is the disadvantage of the Dan Explosion Technique."

After investigating with their spiritual senses, many alchemists who were watching nearby gave their own evaluations.

Listening to everyone's comments, Lian Tong had a calm expression and stood with his hands behind his back, but a hint of pride still flashed in his eyes.

For a monk like him who grew up surrounded by all kinds of halos, this kind of praise has long been commonplace, and his ears are almost callused from hearing it.

But this time, the people who praised him were not his own clansmen, but alchemists from various sects in the Northern Territory, so Lian Tong still enjoyed listening to them.

He knew that this was an opportunity to become famous in the Northern Territory, so he took the risk and used the most advanced alchemy technique he knew, the Pill Explosion Technique.

To be honest, the technique of pill explosion is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, the pill will explode and be destroyed, or even backfire and seriously injure the alchemist. Fortunately, he succeeded.

The only pity is that a group of uninvited guests came and stole some of his limelight.

Lian Tong was unhappy. Although he was concentrating on refining the elixir, he still kept a little attention on his surroundings, so he knew what had happened just now.

He glanced at the cultivators in Xuelingxu with a calm look. He didn't know any of them. They should all be unknown people in Xuelingxu.

Thinking of this, Lian Tong calmed down a little. He was afraid of the extremely ruthless man known as the "Little Supreme" in Xuelingxu. The other party's reputation for decisive killing had already spread throughout the Thirteen Hidden Clans, and even he was afraid of him.

But Lian Tong didn't feel much fear when it came to these unknown people in front of him.

When he saw Cang Lanmeng, Lian Tong showed surprise on his face, as if he had just discovered her, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Lian Tong of the Thirteenth Hidden Clan, Lianxing Hidden Clan, greets Young Master Cang."

At this time, Cang Lan Meng was communicating with Bai Wei'er through telepathy. Hearing what he said, she just said "hmm" lightly without even looking at him.

Such an arrogant attitude naturally made Lian Tong unhappy, not to mention that the other party had just taught his fellow tribesmen a lesson.

But when he thought that Cang Lan Meng was not only the young master of Cang Lei Saint Sect, but also a ninth-level peak cultivator, he had to suppress his unhappiness. He forced a smile on his face, pointed at the charred figure lying on the ground, and asked knowingly:

"Young Master Cang, what did my people do wrong?"

Cang Lan Meng ignored him, and after a while she said calmly: "You don't understand what I'm saying, I'll teach you a lesson."

Lian Tong's face froze. Cang Lan Meng was too disrespectful to him. She ignored and treated him perfunctorily in public!

But when he thought that he was still in the Cang Lei Holy Sect, Lian Tong had to suppress his anger again. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. If he had a conflict with the other party here, he would be the one who suffers in the end.

After adjusting his mood, he simply ignored Cang Lan Meng and turned his attention to Bai Wei'er, the leader of the Xuelingxu monks, hoping to save his lost face from her:

"I don't know what to call this fellow Taoist?"

Bai Weier was listening to Cang Lanmeng's telepathic voice transmission telling her about her and Junior Master Uncle, so she had no time to pay attention to Lian Tong and said casually:

"Xuelingxu Wanhua Peak, Bai Weier."

Lian Tong frowned. What happened today? Although he was not a great cultivator famous in the Northern Territory, he was still well-known after all. Why were these people so arrogant today, as if they didn't take him seriously at all?

He was wary of Cang Lan Meng, but he was not afraid of Bai Wei'er, so he immediately said:

"From what Fellow Daoist Bai said just now, it seems that Fellow Daoist has also studied the Exploding Pill Technique of the Huatian Immortal Sect?"

"I know a little bit." Bai Wei'er replied calmly.

Lian Tong sneered, thinking that the other party was pretending to know, and immediately asked:

"What a coincidence! I have been practicing the Dan Explosion Technique for many years, and there are a few things I don't understand. I hope you can give me some advice."

"You said."

Bai Wei'er was still being perfunctory. She was listening to Cang Lan Meng's telepathic voice transmission with great interest.

Lian Tong's eyes flashed with anger, and his tone was a little bit angry: "I wonder what you think of 'The magic of the alchemy is in its explosion'? And what does 'There are three thousand alchemy methods, but the way of exploding the alchemy is the best' mean? How can the twenty-seven postures of the exploding alchemy technique be performed to achieve a thorough understanding and not destroy its magic?"

He asked a lot of questions in succession, all of which were about the most difficult aspects of practicing the Exploding Pill Technique. Some of these questions were so difficult that not only him but even few people in the Refining Star Hidden Clan could answer them.

Such a tricky question was naturally meant to curb Bai Wei'er's arrogance.

Seeing Bai Wei'er standing there in silence and still not replying to him after a while, Lian Tong showed a hint of pride in his eyes and said:

"Is the question I asked too difficult? Sorry, I thought you were so confident because you must have studied the art of pill explosion. I didn't expect it was me..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Weier interrupted him, "You got it wrong. The main purpose of the Pill Explosion Technique is not to reduce the steps of pill refining or speed up the process, but to fight."

Lian Tong was stunned at first, then his expression suddenly changed: "What did you say..."

“I don’t know where you, the Thirteen Hidden Clans, got the Dan-exploding Technique from, but you probably don’t know much about the Huatian Immortal Sect, otherwise you wouldn’t consider the Dan-exploding Technique as a method of alchemy.”

Bai Wei'er's face was calm, but her words were like sharp thorns that pierced into the hearts of Lian Tong and the thirteen Hidden Clan monks present:

"The Huatian Immortal Sect in ancient times was not a conventional alchemy sect. On the contrary, the cultivators in the sect were extremely powerful. Even in the Northern Territory at that time, they could be considered a hegemon. And what they relied on was this explosive pill technique."

Lian Tong frowned when he heard this. It was indeed as Bai Weiler said. Although the Thirteen Hidden Clans had accidentally obtained the Dan Exploding Technique, they did not know much about the Huatian Immortal Sect.

It's not their fault. The Huatian Immortal Sect experienced a turbulent period in ancient times, during which it mysteriously disappeared without leaving behind much information.

Not to mention their own Thirteen Hidden Clans, even the oldest Cang Lei Holy Sect did not have much news about the Hua Tian Immortal Sect, which the Thirteen Hidden Clans had secretly inquired about long ago.

But from Bai Weiler's words, Xue Lingxu seemed to know a lot about Huatian Immortal Sect.

This discovery made Lian Tong's heart sink.

But at this time, Bai Weier was still talking: "Since the beginning of the world, since the birth of cultivators, alchemy has been enduring for a long time, and countless alchemy techniques have been passed down. However, unlike refining equipment and refining formations, people in the world all thought that alchemy was not good at attack and defense. Until the emergence of the Huatian Immortal Sect, they found another way and walked out of another broad road of alchemy, the way of exploding pills."

"The way of exploding pills emphasizes the word 'explosion'. In ancient times, the great masters of the Huatian Immortal Sect often fought alone against many enemies. There were countless spirit pills surrounding them, which exploded one by one according to their thoughts. The battle scenes were extremely shocking..."

The cultivators present were all experienced alchemists from various sects. They had thought about similar questions before in their daily lives, and they could not help but listen with fascination. Even the Thirteen Hidden Clan cultivators who had a prejudice against Xuelingxu were like this.

But Bai Weier only mentioned it briefly and quickly concluded the topic:

"So you were wrong from the beginning when you practiced the Dan Explosion Technique. How can you understand its true meaning?"

Chapter 245: Alchemy Dispute

After saying that, Bai Weier turned and left.

She and Cang Lan Meng got along very well and decided to invite her to Tianxin Palace to talk about her junior master uncle.

Seeing Bai Weiler was about to leave, the cultivators around her all felt a little regretful. Although they didn't know how advanced an alchemist this little girl was, they understood that her knowledge was far beyond theirs.

"Wait, where are you going?"

Lian Tong shouted quickly.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Bai Weier and make her look bad in public so as to save his face. However, he never expected that the other party's remarks would make him look even more embarrassed.

This made Lian Tong, who was always popular, unable to suppress his anger and challenged Bai Wei'er:

"Sharp teeth and sharp tongue, if you have the guts, do you dare to compete with me?"

Fearing that Bai Weier would not agree, he added: "As a cultivator from Xuelingxu, you shouldn't refuse to fight, right?"

The monks around fell silent for a moment.

They also wanted to see how advanced the alchemy skills of this young girl, who had a deep understanding of alchemy, were.

Bai Weier stopped walking when she heard that.

To be honest, she didn't want to waste time competing with Lian Tong in alchemy, but the other party had already moved out of Xuelingxu, and Bai Weiler had to accept the challenge, because this was no longer just her personal matter, but concerned the reputation of Xuelingxu.

Bai Weier turned around and said, "Okay, I accept your challenge."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding cultivators were instantly in an uproar. At one moment, countless divine thoughts flew out of the Danxin Palace and headed to other places.

"The Snow Spirit Ruins and the Thirteen Hidden Clans are in conflict again!!"

"Two great alchemy geniuses have an appointment to fight at the Alchemy Heart Palace!"

"Lian Tong, the eighth-rank alchemist and the number one prodigy of the Lianxing Hidden Clan, is fighting against an unknown disciple of Xuelingxu!!"

Upon hearing the news, cultivators from various sects rushed over, all wanting to join in the fun. After all, this was a clash between two top sects!

In less than half an hour, the usually deserted Danxin Hall was already packed with people and extremely noisy.

Even the top leaders of the Cang Lei Holy Sect were alarmed. After hearing about this, they specially sent a ninth-level alchemist to preside over the competition.

On a platform somewhere on the third floor, Bai Weiler and Lian Tong stood on each side with their own alchemy furnaces placed in front of them.

In the center of the platform, a white-haired old woman was leaning on a cane with her eyes closed.

Even though the old woman looked like a mortal and did not have the slightest trace of a cultivator's aura, all the cultivators present who knew something about alchemy looked at her with respect and admiration, because they all knew the old woman's name.

The master of Cang Lei, Cang Shusheng.

A ninth-level alchemist who has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years and saved countless lives is known as one of the leading alchemists in the Northern Territory today.

Even Bai Wei'er and Lian Tong did not expect that the person who would host the competition for them would be this old senior, and they were both a little flattered.

"Bai Weier, Lian Tong, are you ready?"

Cang Shusheng had a peaceful expression and asked the two people in a gentle voice.

Lian Tong nodded immediately: "I'm ready."

Bai Weier did not respond immediately, but used a secret method to check the alchemy furnace. After making sure there was no problem, she said, "Junior is ready."

After receiving the two people's reply, Cang Shusheng nodded slightly and tapped the ground lightly with his cane: "In that case, the competition officially begins."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Weier and Lian Tong simultaneously started the first step of alchemy, starting the furnace.

In the first step, both of them used standard alchemy techniques, nothing too surprising.

It was not until the second step of chemical medicine that the two had obvious differences.

Lian Tong did not use the Pill Exploding Technique to refine the pill this time. First, this competition was related to the family's reputation, and he did not dare to take risks. Second, Bai Weiler's previous remarks shocked him, and he suspected that he had really practiced the Pill Exploding Technique in the wrong direction.

So he had to settle for the next best thing and chose the alchemy method he was best at, the Eighteen Moves of Transforming Stars into Planets.

This is the alchemy technique that the Lianxing Hidden Clan is proud of. It was discovered by the first ancestor when he was visualizing the stars one night. After being improved and refined by successive generations of ancestors, it has now reached the pinnacle and is almost perfect.

Lian Tong was seen waving his hands repeatedly, with his ten fingers moving along with them. In a trance, one could see the stars moving, with infinite meaning.

He controlled the alchemy materials one by one with his divine sense and sent them into the half-man-high alchemy furnace in front of him. The flame burning in the furnace melted the alchemy materials into liquid, removing the impurities and retaining the essence.

The cultivators who had been paying attention to Lian Tong could not help but admire him. Watching Lian Tong making the elixir was like watching a gorgeous song and dance, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.
