Chapter 292 Xia Yuan makes a grand appearance!
The morning light shines into the room through the window lattice.
Lu Yuguan walked barefoot on the blue bricks, looked down at his toes which he had not seen for a long time, and could not help but jump a few times.
“It’s better to be a human being!”
Li Chonglin stood aside, his eyes fixed on his swaying hair, and suddenly reached out to grab his wrist.
"Yuguan, don't run around these days."
"Why, are you afraid that Qi Wei will kidnap me?"
Lu Yuguan raised his eyebrows and deliberately leaned close to his ear.
"Your Highness, are you... jealous?"
Li Zhonglin's ears turned slightly red, but his fingers clenched tighter: "The Dan League rating is coming soon, you must prepare carefully."
Lu Yuguan broke free from his hand and leaned lazily on the edge of the couch: "Don't worry, I am the direct disciple of two masters, Yang Xun and Dan Xuzi. My mere rating is——"
Before he could finish his words, Li Chonglin suddenly leaned forward, his nose almost touching his face.
"If you run around again, I will lock you up at Tianjian Peak and force you to watch me practice swordplay every day."
Lu Yuguan's breathing stagnated and he pretended to be calm.
"How can a dignified prince be so unreasonable?"
"There's no need to reason with you..." Li Zhonglin lowered his eyes, his fingertips brushing against the golden pattern on his ankle. "I was just about to ask, what is this string mark?"
"Shh..." Lu Yuguan raised his finger and smiled slyly, "Keep it a secret."
……
Three days later.
The Dan League's flying boat hovered over the imperial city.
The hull was engraved with cloud patterns of alchemy furnaces, and monks gathered on the deck, with endless discussions in the ears.
"I never thought that the Zhongdu Dan League's rating would actually take our Dongxuan Continent into consideration!"
"you do not say!"
"But it's a coincidence. With so many sects choosing to stop at this place, why not stop at this place in the secular world? Is the leader of the Alchemy Alliance crazy?"
"Shh... We're still on someone else's territory!"
"Alchemists have superb mental powers and can hear even the slightest movement. Be careful what you say!"
"Oh, thank you for your advice..."
On top of the flying boat, the two alchemists from the Alchemy Alliance had heard everyone's complaints clearly.
The pure white robe has gold threads wrapped around the sides of the hem, and is embroidered with a crane and a deer, which is very luxurious.
The man on the left pursed his lips and smiled: "This Dongxuan Continent is quite interesting. I haven't heard such barbaric language in many years."
The woman on his right glanced at him and said, "You don't seem nervous... Have you completed everything the master ordered?"
"Hey, small things like keeping records can be left to the servants."
The man said casually.
"Three hundred years. Ever since I've known you, you've always been so careless," the woman frowned. "I really don't know how you got to the top position..."
"Junior sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want," the man said with a smile, "I am at least a fourth-grade alchemist. Didn't I refine a five-patterned pill before?"
The woman is silent.
When refining an elixir, one must not only consider the grade but also the elixir pattern.
If there are enough elixir patterns, it means that the efficacy of the elixir is purer and the effect is better.
Just like stir-fried spicy and sour potato shreds, the one made by a chef always tastes better than the one you make yourself.
Seeing that she was silent, the man spoke: "When I am promoted to a fifth-grade alchemist, I will treat you to the best medicinal food in the sect!"
"Medicinal food?" The woman felt a dull pain between her eyebrows. "Brother Qingjue, I lost 20,000 spirit stones in a gambling game a few days ago. Are you sure you still have change?"
Qing Jue scratched his head embarrassedly, "Isn't this just a part-time job at the ratings site?"
woman:"……"
"Oh, Junior Sister Nangong," Qing Jue whispered, "Please don't tell Master about me borrowing money to gamble with you!"
Nangong Luo nodded helplessly, "I understand."
……
Lu Yuguan, dressed in a green shirt, stepped onto the gangway. Around his waist hung a jade bottle that Danxuzi had given him, which contained several mind-concentrating pills.
"...This pill only has a supplementary effect. It can help you focus your mind, so it can't really be considered cheating."
"...Eat it before refining the elixir, it will have some effect."
When Lu Yuguan thought of Senior Danxuzi's care, he felt warm in his heart.
This time, in addition to obtaining the Heshengmu Ganoderma, we also carry the hopes of Senior Danxuzi.
"Youngster, tell me your name—"
As he was recalling, the old man at the entrance asked Lu Yuguan his name.
Lu Yuguan glanced at the audience.
Danxuzi was already wearing a gray robe and sitting in his seat, while Yang Xun also followed the Xuanyu Sect's team and walked towards the audience seats.
hiss……
The two masters won’t collide with each other, right?
If he was found out that he had become a disciple twice... would he be cut into pieces?
Lu Yuguan shuddered.
After thinking for less than two seconds, he immediately replied: "Xuan Yu Sect disciple, Xia Yuan."
"Oh? A disciple of Xuanyu Sect?" The old man glanced at him, "You haven't been evaluated yet, right?"
"First time today."
"Judging from your appearance...you should be less than a hundred years old, right?"
"Grandpa, you have a very good eye," Lu Yuguan said embarrassedly, "I'll be twenty after my birthday this year."
"Twenty years old!?"
The old man was surprised.
As soon as these words came out, the contestants queuing behind him gasped.
"You're only twenty years old and you dare to take the test?"
"This is too arrogant!"
"Could it be that you've been learning alchemy since you were in your mother's womb? When I was this old, I still hadn't learned how to control fire!"
"Isn't it because I lied about my age?"
"From my perspective, he probably is a cultivator who has regained his youth. He doesn't even have any spiritual energy."
……
Lu Yuguan felt embarrassed and quickly ran away holding his entry card.
The movement at the entrance was naturally noticed by Qingjue and Nangong Luo.
Qing Jue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Junior Sister Nangong, what do you think?"
Nangong Luo: "Use your eyes to see."
Qing Jue: “…”
"I mean, do you think what this kid said is true?"
"The world is vast, and there are countless geniuses," Nangong Luo said slowly, "Even Senior Brother Qingjue, who is addicted to gambling, can become the chief. What's so strange about that?"
Qing Jue: “…”
The auditorium was crowded.
Yang Xun stumbled in the aisle, holding a wine gourd, his collar still stained with burnt ash from the furnace explosion when he was refining the elixir last night.
He squinted his eyes and muttered, "There are too few chairs in the Dan League. Can't they get more?"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stepped on the edge of a gray robe.
"Old Ghost Yang!" Danxuzi jumped up from his seat with a dark face. "Why the hell are you here!?"
Yang Xun sobered up instantly, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Dan Xuzi?"
"You haven't been cured into bacon by erysipelas?"
The two of them stared at each other, then suddenly reached out and pinched each other's pulse points at the same time.
"The secret of the Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Pill is to heat it to 70% and then 30%!"
"Bullshit! It's clearly five turns to seven!"
"The Qingxin Pills you made still smell like charcoal!"
"It's better than using your disciples as medicinal materials!"
The quarrel startled the monks in the front row and they all turned around.
Danxuzi flicked his wide sleeves, revealing the jade token with the word "Dan" on it around his waist.
Yang Xun tilted his head back to drink the wine, and the same pattern was clearly visible on the broken wine gourd.
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
Everyone knows that alchemists with special Dan patterns are all disciples of Danzong.
Yang Xun took a big gulp of wine and patted Danxuzi on the back proudly.
"I've got a good one. He can make pills with fire meditation. It's better than your rigid method!"
Danxuzi sneered: "My direct disciple Xia Yuan always forms three or four patterns in his elixir, and his elixir never explodes—"
"What a coincidence," Yang Xun shook out a half-volume of torn pages from his sleeve, "My disciple just used this scrap of paper to refine a third-grade..."
"Xia Yuan, disciple of Xuanyu Sect, please come in—"
The announcement sounded like thunder.
They both looked towards the center of the arena, only to see Lu Yuguan slowly walk in and sit down. When he glanced at the audience, he was stunned for a moment.
Danxuzi's fingertips trembled: "Xia Yuan?"
Yang Xun's wine gourd fell to the ground: "You stole my disciple?"
