The video takes stock of the heavens, starting with the Fire Dragon King Natsu!

"I know, as long as I can improve my strength, this little damage won't matter." Hisoka said.

Yao Lao nodded and said, "However, these Ziwei Lingzhi are not enough. We need to pick a few more."

"I understand, Master. I'll go pick it now." After Xi Suo finished speaking, he started to take action. He ignored the protection of the medicinal fields in Medicine King Valley and walked all the way into the depths of the spiritual spring.

The Ganoderma lucidum picked by Xisuo were all second- and third-grade ones, which were of little use to him. However, the Ganoderma lucidum picked by Yao Lao was extremely precious and could only be found by chance.

After a while, Xi Suo found a crape myrtle Ganoderma lucidum. It was a mature crape myrtle Ganoderma lucidum, and it looked to be about two feet long. A look of joy appeared on Xi Suo's face, because his internal energy was almost exhausted. Without the crape myrtle Ganoderma lucidum, his cultivation would not be able to improve.

He picked up the crape myrtle and Ganoderma lucidum, put it in his mouth and started chewing. A sweet liquid instantly filled his entire mouth. Hisoka felt his spirits lifted and his whole body felt comfortable, just like he had drunk fine wine.

"It's really indescribable. The feeling is so great. It's even better than using the colorful crystal coins." Hisoka exclaimed.

"Yes." Yao Lao also ate a piece of Lagerstroemia indica. Suddenly, a warm current spread along his stomach and filled his whole body. An ecstasy suddenly appeared on Yao Lao's face.

"That's great. I didn't expect there is such a thing as Lagerstroemia indica. Moreover, the medicinal power of this Lagerstroemia indica is so strong. My strength has improved a lot in just half an hour. It must be God's help. It seems that this time I came to the Medicine King Valley to pick medicinal herbs, and it is definitely the right decision." Yao Lao said secretly.

"Master, we have gained a lot this time!" Xi Suo said excitedly.

"Hahaha... This time, it's a great harvest!" Yao Lao was also very happy. The thought of getting so many Crape Myrtle and Ganoderma Lucidum this time made Yao Lao feel extremely excited.

"Xi Suo, how are you now?" asked Yao Lao.

"Much better than before," Hisoka replied.

"That's good. You have to be more diligent this time and try to recover to your peak condition as soon as possible." Yao Lao said.

"Well, Master, did you pick all these Crape Myrtle and Ganoderma Lucidum?" Xi Suo asked.

"Well, these Ganoderma lucidum were collected to help you improve your strength. During this period, I have been busy." Yao Lao said with a smile, "Okay, now you can go pick the Ziwei Ganoderma lucidum. Don't let them ruin my good deeds. This way, my cultivation will be able to improve faster."

"As you command!" Xi Suo said respectfully.

Chapter 636: Avoiding the Guards and Collecting Ziwei Lingzhi

"Go!" Yao Lao waved his hand, signaling Xiso to leave, and Yao Lao sat beside the Lingquan pool and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Xi Suo glanced at Yao Lao, then left Yaowang Valley and started picking Ganoderma lucidum.

Xiso swam in the spiritual spring for a long time before he finally picked all the Ganoderma lucidum. Xiso left the spiritual spring pool, flew into the air, and flew towards a mountain in the distance.

This is a huge mountain range that rises high into the clouds. It is surrounded by dense trees and there are waterfalls rushing down the mountain, forming a long river.

Xi Suo was traveling through the mountains, and finally at some point, he saw a black vortex. There were many Ziwei Lingzhi hidden in the vortex, and Xi Suo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Hisoka was very fast and entered the whirlpool in the blink of an eye. His feet stepped on the whirlpool and his body flew upwards quickly. He soon reached the top of the mountain and saw a cave.

There are many guards outside the cave, and strong spiritual energy emanates from their bodies. The lowest of their cultivation levels is the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the highest is the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Huh?" One of the guards at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage exclaimed in surprise, "I seemed to have heard a roar of beasts just now. How could there be beasts here? Could this be the lair of a demon beast?"

Another guard at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage shook his head and said, "No matter who you are, don't get close to this place easily. This place has been blocked by us. If any monster invades, kill it immediately, no matter who it is."

"Yes."

Xi Suo searched in the cave, avoiding many guards, and finally found some Ziwei Lingzhi after searching for a long time.

"Hahaha, this trip wasn't in vain." Hisoka shouted excitedly.

Xi Suo put the picked crape myrtle and Ganoderma lucidum into the storage bag, then left the cave and returned to Yao Lao's residence. Seeing that Yao Lao had not rested yet, he went straight to Yao Lao.

"Disciple, how many Ganoderma lucidum have you picked?" Yao Lao asked anxiously.

"My disciple has picked ten purple ganoderma lucidum plants." Xi Suo said respectfully.

"Ten plants?" Yao Lao was stunned. He didn't expect that Xi Suo had collected so many Ganoderma lucidum. However, Yao Lao did not blame Xi Suo. Instead, he was very happy.

"Okay, let's go to the Alchemy Hall now and hand the Crape Myrtle and Ganoderma Lucidum to the alchemist. He will refine it into an elixir so that we can improve our cultivation as quickly as possible." Yao Lao said excitedly.

"Yes."

Xi Suo agreed and took Yao Lao to the Alchemy Hall.

Soon they arrived at the door of the Alchemy Hall, which specialized in selling all kinds of elixirs, and Xi Suo's target was the medicine shop that sold all kinds of elixirs. He came to the counter of the Alchemy Hall, took out a jade token and handed it to the waiter.

After the waiter took the jade token and examined it, he was shocked. He bowed and said hurriedly, "It turns out that it is Young Master Xi Suo who has come. Please come in."

Xi Suo followed Yao Lao inside, and soon they came to the private room on the second floor. Yao Lao was stunned when he saw the jade token in Xi Suo's hand, and then said, "There is such a treasure here, how come I have never heard of it before?"

"I got this jade token by chance. It's not valuable." Xi Suo said lightly.

Yao Lao's eyes lit up, "Your jade token is of a high rank, where did you get it from?"

Chapter 637: Li Hao, the youngest alchemist in Tianxing Country, appears

"This is my secret and I cannot tell Master. However, this jade token can be sold at a very high price. Master, how about we first give these crape myrtle and Ganoderma lucidum to the alchemist and then go buy the elixir?" Xi Suo asked.

"Okay." Yao Lao nodded and said.

Soon, the alchemist sent Xiso and Yao Lao out, and then put the crape myrtle and Ganoderma lucidum into a jade box. Afterwards, Xiso took Yao Lao and rushed to the Alchemist Guild.

Soon, Yao Lao brought Xi Suo to the Alchemist Guild.

The Alchemist Guild is a behemoth and one of the main forces in the entire Xuanhuang City. The number of alchemists has reached one million. Several competitions are held every year. The winners of these competitions will receive rewards and can also obtain elixirs, but these elixirs are in short supply. Only a very small number of alchemists or alchemist teams can obtain these precious spiritual herbs.

Moreover, there is a rule for this competition, that is, you are only allowed to use one spirit stone to buy things. If you use two spirit stones, you will not be able to participate in the competition.

In the meeting room of the Alchemist Guild.

A group of alchemists were sitting around a table which was filled with various materials. These materials included spirit stones, medicinal herbs, demon cores, and other things. In short, there was everything. There were a total of eighty or ninety alchemists, all gathered here.

This conference room is very large, covering several thousand square meters. On both sides of the conference hall, there are two rows of chairs. On the chairs are tea sets, drinks, snacks, and there is not even an empty wine jug.

In the center of the conference hall, there was sitting a young man who looked to be around twenty years old. He looked very thin, and not very strong. His eyes were very clear. He was wearing a white robe made of chiffon, which was spotless and looked very white and clean. There was a smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he looked very elegant.

He is Li Hao.

Li Hao sat there, looking calm and composed, as if he was not facing some grand occasion but an ordinary banquet. This performance made many people present secretly praise him. After all, there are very few people who can remain calm and composed.

"Master Li Hao, you won first place in this competition. According to the agreement, these materials are yours."

"Well, put it here." Li Hao said lightly.

The man placed the materials on the table one by one, then turned and left the meeting room. Li Hao's attitude made the people around him very unhappy. Their faces all looked unhappy, but they did not get angry.

Li Hao's identity is very special. He is the youngest alchemist in Tianxing Kingdom. His background is very complicated. Behind him stands the largest force in the entire Tianxing Kingdom, the royal family of the Tianxing Empire.

They, the alchemists, couldn't afford to offend him, so they could only endure it.

"Li Hao, if you can advance to the top three, I hope you can refine a fourth-grade pill for me."

At this moment, a slightly old voice was heard, full of excitement. The person who spoke was the owner of the Alchemy Pavilion.

"No problem." Li Hao said calmly, "These materials are what I need. I will refine a furnace of fourth-grade elixir for you tomorrow."

"Okay." The head of the Medicine Pavilion said happily.

Chapter 638: Alchemy Competition, here I come!

The stronger Li Hao is, the greater his power will be. This is a great opportunity.

At this moment, another loud voice sounded.

"Junior Brother Li Hao, my alchemy skills are not bad either! You can't be partial to me!"

A burly man walked over. He had thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, giving people a fierce feeling. This burly man was named Zhao Zhiyong. He was a genius in alchemy among these alchemists. He had already refined a fourth-grade pill and a fifth-grade pill. He also planned to participate in this pill competition.

"Brother Zhiyong, you are joking." Li Hao smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhiyong's alchemy skills are recognized by the entire Xuanhuang City. How dare I neglect him!"

"Haha, that's good, that's good." Zhao Zhiyong laughed loudly, then walked to the table, picked up a piece of monster meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while and swallowed it. Then he closed his eyes, as if he was practicing martial arts. The true energy in his body was constantly flowing, as if it was forging some part of his body.

The next day, Yao Lao brought Xi Suo to the Alchemy Guild.

"Master, what are we doing here?" Xi Suo asked behind Yao Lao.

"Have you heard of the medicine competition?" Yao Lao looked at Xi Suo and asked.

"The pill competition, isn't it a competition to see who makes the better pill?" Xi Suo asked.

"Yes! The Pill Competition is jointly organized by the president and vice president of the Alchemist Guild." Yao Lao explained, "For this competition, we require the Alchemist Guild to send the best alchemists and alchemist disciples to participate. You can also try it. Achieving good results in the Pill Competition will be extremely beneficial to your future cultivation."

"Master, can I refuse?" Hisoka hesitated for a moment, then asked.

"Why? Don't you want to participate?" Yao Lao asked, "Haven't you always been eager to become a strong man? This opportunity is rare, why do you refuse it?"

"No, Master." Hisoka shook his head, "It's too easy to make enemies by participating in the competition."

"Making enemies? There's nothing to be afraid of. With your master here, no one can touch you." Yao Lao looked at Xi Suo with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.

"But……"

"There's nothing to worry about!" Yao Lao said, "The Alchemy Competition is your only chance, you must seize it!"

"But……"

"Just participate obediently, and after the competition is over, ask the master for benefits!" After saying this, Yao Lao walked into the Alchemy Guild.

Hisoka sighed. He knew that this was a rare opportunity. He wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible, but he was afraid of making enemies because he had too many of them, and they were all relatively powerful people.

The rules of the alchemy competition are different from those in the past. In the alchemy competition, the alchemists themselves choose the elixirs to be refined. Whoever refines the highest quality elixir will be the champion and receive the most reward resources. Therefore, every alchemy competition is extremely popular and every champion receives a huge reward.

"Alchemy Competition!" Xi Suo muttered to himself. He hadn't participated in an alchemy competition for a long time, and he had forgotten how many pills he had refined. His cultivation level had been improving too slowly over the years.

Hisoka took a deep breath and then stepped into the Alchemy Guild.

Alchemy Contest, here I come! .

Chapter 639: Hisoka Meets the President of the Alchemist Association

Li Hao's alchemy skills are very impressive. Although he cannot say that he is invincible, he can at least rank in the top three. He has also participated in some alchemy competitions, two of which he won and one of which he lost. The reason for the loss was very simple, because a guy named Chen Feng refined a sixth-grade pill.

"I must win." Hisoka clenched his fists.

Alchemy competition, alchemy competition, alchemy competition, a series of words emerged in Hisoka's mind.

Xi Suo came to his exclusive area. His alchemy furnace had already produced four pills, all of which were fourth-grade pills.

Hisoka's alchemy skills are unquestionable, and he is the most dazzling presence in the alchemy competition.

After refining the elixir, Hisoka came to the president's office.

"Greetings, President." Xi Suo bowed respectfully towards Zhao Zhiyong.

"Xiso, I invited you here today mainly to ask you if you have the confidence to win the championship of the alchemy competition?" Zhao Zhiyong asked with a smile.

"I'll do my best!" Hisoka nodded firmly.

"Very good, then we will wait!"

"President, do I need to prepare any materials for this alchemy competition?" Xi Suo asked. The alchemy competition is a huge project, and all of this must be accomplished by the means of alchemists.

"What you need is some herbs and some auxiliary materials." Zhao Zhiyong replied, "Just let others handle this matter. You just need to make the pill well and strive to win the championship of the pill making competition."

"Yes."

"By the way, how many pills have you refined now?" Zhao Zhiyong suddenly asked.

"Five."

"Very good. Your alchemy skills have improved over the years. However, you still need to work hard. I hope you can continue to work hard and live up to your master's expectations of you." Zhao Zhiyong patted Xi Suo's shoulder. "Okay, you go out first! You stay here for the time being! I will notify you if there is anything."

"Yes, President."

After leaving the Alchemy Guild, Xi Suo came to his room and began to retreat. This time he was going to become a five-star alchemist. If he succeeded, he would be able to advance to the upper echelons of the Alchemy Guild and become a key focus of the Guild. This kind of attention would also make him very popular and sought after and wooed by countless forces and sects. This was what Xi Suo needed.

The registration location for the Alchemy Competition is near Alchemy City, on a high mountain. The registration point is set up on the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is a vast plain. On the plain, there are alchemy guilds. The name of the Alchemist Guild is very domineering. There are three big characters hanging in front of the door of the Alchemy Guild: Alchemy Guild.

This guild is the largest alchemy guild in the entire Alchemy City. Moreover, there is an elixir company within the guild, and all kinds of elixirs are sold. Guild members can also help the Alchemy Guild complete tasks for free to earn money. The guild also has many privileges. The guild’s management can enjoy special treatment from the Alchemist Guild and can freely enter and exit the Alchemist Guild’s treasure house.

"Hello, I need to participate in the alchemy competition." Xi Suo bowed to the young man in black.

"You want to sign up for the Alchemy Contest?" The young man in black looked at Hisoka and asked, "Do you have any special skills?"

"Specialty?" Xi Suo was stunned for a moment.

Chapter 640: Rules of the Alchemy Competition

Hisoka shook his head. He had not expected the other party to ask him this. "No."
