In Doupo, one talent entry per day

Xu Qi has a high level of comprehension, so the experience he gains from alchemy is dozens or even hundreds of times that of an ordinary alchemist!

So even though he only practiced hard for a month, the results he got were actually better than those of others who had studied hard for ten years!

With this crazy experience, it would be strange if his alchemy skills didn't improve quickly.

If Xu Qi hadn't been unable to endure such a long period of boring practice, he could have even been promoted one level higher.

The benefit of reaching the eighth-grade alchemist is that Xu Qi can refine various high-level elixirs as one of the benefits of Wanling Pavilion.

In addition, the various martial arts and fighting skills he developed on his own are also suitable for many people.

Under these temptations, the number of people in Wanling Pavilion naturally increased.

And his cultivation level also improved because he needed to use the strange fire constantly in the process of refining medicine. With the further improvement of his proficiency in the strange fire, Xu Qi's cultivation level also made a small breakthrough and reached the eight-star Dou Zong.

In this way, he has made sufficient preparations to welcome the arrival of the Alchemy Conference!

But before the alchemy meeting, someone came to visit Wanling Pavilion, which surprised Xu Qi—Fenyan Valley, Tang Zhen!

Fenyan Valley, one of the “Three Valleys”, is stronger than Fenglei Pavilion.

The one who came from Fenyan Valley to visit Fenglei Pavilion was none other than the current Valley Master of Fenyan Valley, Tang Zhen!

……

"Haha, I didn't know that Valley Master Tang would come to visit in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you." Xu Qi laughed and came to the hall to meet Tang Zhen.

Seeing him, Tang Zhen immediately stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, saying with a smile: "Master Xu, you are too polite. This time we from Fenyan Valley came to visit you in person."

Tang Zhen seemed to be a harmonious person, and Xu Qi had a good first impression of him.

"Someone, come here, why haven't you served tea yet? Quickly pour tea for Master Tang!"

Xu Qi quickly asked someone to pour tea.

The person who poured the tea was none other than Feng Qing'er, who was taken in as a maid by Xu Qi!

Although she is from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, she can only serve Xu Qi obediently and do things a servant should do, such as pouring tea and water.

Tang Zhen naturally also noticed Feng Qing'er.

No matter how you look at it, Feng Qing'er's temperament doesn't seem like that of a servant who pours tea and water. He can even feel that Feng Qing'er's bloodline is very strong, so she should be a member of a certain family.

But even for such a person, can he only pour tea and water in Wanling Pavilion?

For a moment, Tang Zhen had even more respect for Wanling Pavilion and Xu Qi.

"I wonder what is the purpose of Valley Master Tang's visit this time?" Xu Qi didn't like to play guessing games, so he went straight to the point with Tang Zhen.

One does not visit a temple for no reason. As the master of Fenyan Valley, Tang Zhen came to the door in person. Xu Qi did not believe that he was just visiting.

Tang Zhen laughed and said, "Haha, it seems that Pavilion Master Xu is a straightforward person, so I won't hide it anymore. I came here today mainly because I want to discuss two things with Pavilion Master Xu."

"Master Tang might as well speak frankly."

"The first thing is that we in Fenyan Valley want to form an alliance with your Wanling Pavilion. I wonder what Pavilion Master Xu thinks?"

Tang Zhen's words surprised Xu Qi a little.

Alliance?

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Many small forces will choose to form alliances in order to keep each other warm.

But Fenyan Valley is not a small force, they don’t need to huddle together with others for warmth, right?

"I don't quite understand what Master Tang meant."

Out of the blue, Fenyan Valley took the initiative to form an alliance, but Xu Qi didn't dare to believe it.

"Master Xu, don't worry. There is another thing." Tang Zhen said, "I know Master Xu will not trust us so easily. Besides, we also have something to ask for in forming an alliance with you."

"I heard that Pavilion Master Xu has profound alchemy skills and possesses multiple types of strange fire. So, I would like to ask Pavilion Master Xu to help me refine an elixir. As long as the refining is successful, our Burning Flame Valley will agree to form an alliance with your Wanling Pavilion."

"As long as we form an alliance, Wanling Pavilion will be able to increase its influence and status in Zhongzhou. Pavilion Master Xu, please consider this carefully."

Chapter 162, Helping to Make the Alchemy

"Oh?" After hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xu Qi stretched out the last syllable meaningfully, raised his eyebrows slightly,

"In other words, Master Tang wants to use the alliance with Wanling Pavilion as a condition for me to help you refine a pill?"

Tang Zhen nodded: "That's right."

Xu Qi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his face showing a serious look of thinking. After a while, he said, "I thought about it carefully. Forming an alliance is good for all of us. It can't be said that you suffer a loss while we benefit."

"As for refining medicine, it is my one-sided contribution. You don't have to pay anything. You just use the title of an ally in exchange for me refining medicine for you."

"Why do I feel like I'm at a disadvantage in this deal?"

Tang Zhen came in person, and although on the surface it was to form an alliance, his real purpose was probably to ask Xu Qi for help in refining the elixir.

Moreover, since he was willing to come in person, it meant that the pill that needed to be refined was very important to him, and not just any alchemist could refine it.

To sum up, Tang Zhen now needs help from Xu Qi.

After being analyzed so many reasons, Tang Zhen felt a little embarrassed, and then he said sincerely: "To be honest, the reason I asked Pavilion Master Xu to help me refine the elixir this time is because my daughter is in danger now, and I urgently need to refine the elixir to save her, so I have to ask Pavilion Master Xu for help."

"So, since you have a request for me, you should let me see Valley Master Tang's sincerity." Xu Qi looked at him with a meaningful look.

You can't just find a random excuse to ask him to help you make the elixir, but there is no such easy thing in the world.

Tang Zhen, whose little trick was discovered, looked a little embarrassed.

Then, he simply said: "Then why don't you name a price, Pavilion Master Xu? How much do you need to help me refine a pill?"

Tang Zhen knew that if he continued to play tricks and showed no sincerity at this time, Xu Qi would never agree to help him refine the pills.

Hearing this, Xu Qi was also very direct: "My request is very simple, I don't want anything else, just maintain the alliance, and you, Fenyan Valley, just need to condescend and recognize us, Wanling Pavilion, as your big brother."

He also looked down on other things in Fenyan Valley, so he just asked for a little bit symbolically.

As for whether Tang Zhentong agreed or not, it was none of his business.

When Tang Zhen heard his words, his face suddenly changed.

To acknowledge Wanling Pavilion as a younger brother, to put it bluntly, isn't that just submitting to Wanling Pavilion?

This difference in status is much worse than that of allies!

"Master Xu, your request..."

"It's up to you whether you agree or not. Anyway, I'm not begging you now. There's nothing in your Burning Flame Valley that I would value. Only this title is worth a little money."

"If Valley Master Tang feels that this is inappropriate, please go back." Xu Qi also made it clear directly.

He never asked for anything from Fenyan Valley.

Since Tang Zhen wants to ask him for help, it wouldn't be too much for him to make some excessive requests, right?

Anyway, whether Tang Zhen agrees or not, he will not lose anything.

Xu Qi's request obviously put Tang Zhen in an extremely difficult situation.

He came here to form an alliance and then ask Xu Qi to take action.

Instead of making Fenyan Valley inferior to Wanling Pavilion.

If this was the case, Tang Zhen had to start examining whether it was necessary for him to ask Xu Qi for help.

"If you have nothing else, Master Tang, please go back. I'm still very busy here." Xu Qi ordered him to leave.

Tang Zhen stood up, but was still a little hesitant.

Finally, he finally made up his mind and said angrily: "Okay! As long as Pavilion Master Xu can help to successfully refine the elixir, I, Fenyan Valley, am willing to respectfully call Wanling Pavilion the boss!"

Xu Qi is indeed not the only one who can help refine the pills.

But there are not many people who can help refine the pills, they can be counted on one hand.

Moreover, those people have more noble status and are harder to invite than Xu Qi - they are basically the giants of Danta.

If you want to invite the giants of Danta, it is not something that can be done with some material things or by recognizing a big brother.

Besides, Danta is stronger than Fenyan Valley. It would be much more difficult for Tang Zhen to ask the giants of Danta for help than to ask Xu Qi.

So, after careful consideration, Tang Zhen agreed to Xu Qi's "excessive" request.

"Well, it seems that Master Tang really loves his daughter. In that case, I will help Master Tang." Xu Qi agreed.

The two of them acted decisively. Since they had agreed to help, Xu Qi immediately reported to Xiao Yixian and Yun Yun, and then set off for Fenyan Valley with Tang Zhen.

Now the two girls are busy building Wanling Pavilion, so naturally they have no intention of following Xu Qi.

……

The Burning Flame Valley is located in the Scorching Fire Mountains and is surrounded by an independent space.

The air here is filled with a hot atmosphere all year round, there are volcanoes everywhere, and you can see volcanic eruptions and lava gushing out from time to time.

In this kind of environment, no one would even want to take a second look at it, let alone live there.

But the Burning Flame Valley happened to be built in such a place.

What is an unbearably harsh environment for outsiders is an excellent place for them to practice.

Of course, even in the Burning Flame Valley, it is impossible to live directly next to a volcano.

The Burning Flame Valley has opened up an independent space in the Scorching Flame Mountains.

When Xu Qi followed Tang Zhen through the space and entered the real Burning Flame Valley, everything around him changed.

Here there are birds singing, flowers blooming, the climate is pleasant, and the scenery is beautiful. It is not at all as hot and unbearable as outside.

"The environment here is nice." Xu Qi gave the first comment.

"Haha, after all, it's a place to live. If you make it look nicer, you'll be more comfortable living there." Tang Zhen laughed.

The two walked one after the other, down the long stone steps and through the long corridor.

Along the way, we also met many disciples of Fenyan Valley wearing red clothes.

After going through the scene, the two came to a large hall.

"Master Xu, please take a seat. Someone, bring the tea!"

Xu Qi waved his hand and said, "Master Tang, there is no need to be extra polite. Now that I am here, you can start preparing to make the elixir."

"Okay, I'll go down and prepare now. Please wait for a moment, Pavilion Master Xu." Tang Zhen went down with a smile.

On the way here, Xu Qi already knew what kind of elixir Tang Zhen was helping him to refine - the Fire Bodhi Pill, a seventh-grade high-level elixir that could be used to suppress the fire poison produced when practicing the unique skills of the Fenyan Valley.

Although Fenyan Valley cultivates violent fire-attributed fighting spirit, not everyone can perfectly integrate such violent fire-attributed fighting spirit.

Some people will develop fire poison in their bodies after practicing for a long time.

Generally, fire poison is not fatal, but if the situation is serious and life-threatening, special means are needed to deal with it.

And this Fire Bodhisattva Pill is the best pill that can completely eliminate fire poison.

It’s just because the level of the Fire Bodhi Pill is too high and Tang Zhen is not a real alchemist, so he needs a high-level alchemist to help.

And Xu Qi is naturally the best candidate!

……

Chapter 163: Nine Dragons Thunder Fire

Xu Qi was alone in the hall, waiting quietly.

At this moment, a beautiful woman in a red dress suddenly appeared outside the door. After seeing Xu Qi, she immediately shrank back, leaving only half of her pretty face exposed, and looked at Xu Qi curiously.

Xu Qi also looked at her with interest.

It was not until Tang Zhen came back and saw the girl that he brought her in and introduced them to each other: "Master Xu, this is my daughter Tang Huo'er."

"Huo'er, this is Pavilion Master Xu of Wanling Pavilion. Why don't you meet Pavilion Master Xu?"

"Greetings, Pavilion Master Xu." Tang Huo'er bowed obediently.

"Well, Miss Huo'er, you are too polite. Valley Master Tang, are you ready?" Xu Qi went straight to the point.

Tang Zhen nodded: "It's all ready, please follow me, Pavilion Master Xu."
