Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 85

Zhou Lie's demeanor was tainted with a trace of sharpness, and there was also a kind of vitality that could not be concealed.

Competing on the same stage with his peers caused some changes in his vision and state of mind, not to the point of turning the world upside down, but it was like adding a new stream of water, washing away some of the old staleness.

"The student of Elder Yaolu? If you choose, I don't want to eliminate yours."

Zhou Lie's opponent is a young man in Tsing Yi. His aptitude is not bad, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This time, Yaolu sponsored the Great Competition of the Outer Sect very much, and he benefited from it, so he was a little grateful to the elders of Yaolu.

Zhou Lie is the apprentice of Elder Yaolu, he would rather eliminate others than let them lose.

But there is no way out, if you encounter one, there will always be someone who will be eliminated.

The most he can do is to be gentle and let Zhou Lie end with dignity.

"There is a small difference in realm, although it is a problem, but I will not be discouraged."

Zhou Lie took Chen Sheng as his life principle in everything, and he had his own calculations, saying: "Teacher also tried it back then, and it succeeded."

As far as he knew, the teacher was equal to a Qi Refining Realm cultivator who was higher than a small realm.

What the teacher can do, as an apprentice, he has to work hard to complete it.

"Leapfrog to fight, that is one in a million."

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled. Hearing the word leapfrogging a lot, he thought it was an extremely simple matter, but it was actually very difficult. It was the domain of geniuses.

These people are not geniuses, and they are not absolutely sure about killing at the same level, so let's talk about other things.

Zhou Lie naturally knew this truth, but when he encountered it, he had to touch it. Even if it didn't work, he tried his best.

boom.

He didn't hide clumsiness, and he didn't have this condition. When he made a move, he was the peak combat power of the eighth level of Qi Refining. He formed a seal with his hands and cast a fire technique.

On the fighting platform, complex patterns of light intertwined and moved away, stirring the aura of the void, and burning a raging flame in an instant.

Zhou Lie was like a god commanding the flames, with a thought, snakes leaped into chaos, unicorns and beasts whizzed past, and went straight to the opponent's face.

"As expected of an alchemist."

The young man in Tsing Yi sighed in admiration, Zhou Lie's manipulation of flames was unmatched among monks in the Qi Refining Realm.

This is the advantage of an alchemist. During alchemy, the furnace changes rapidly, so naturally the skill of controlling fire with one hand is extremely exquisite.

He stood still with a calm face, fighting and alchemy were two different fields.

This fire can't hurt him.

The young man in Tsing Yi held up his two fingers together, making a sword shape, and slashed down repeatedly. The sharp sword aura generated by the strong magic power killed all the rushing fire beasts.

Then, he made a seal with a sword in his hand, crouched down, and pressed down inch by inch.

The whole process was very slow, as if the seal formula in his hand was so heavy that it couldn't be pushed immediately.

boom!
After one or two breaths, he finally touched the ground with the Yin Jue, and there was a sudden shock, like three mountains and five mountains collapsing, a kind of earth-shattering fluctuation spread outward.

On the fighting platform, the branded protective formations flickered non-stop, and the formations manifested one by one, absorbing the raging destructive power.

The ever-growing flame was cut off layer after layer, and was completely extinguished once the storm passed.

"It's better to send you down earlier."

The green-clothed youth's Yiyin was extremely powerful, and after he finished, he changed his crouching posture and rushed out like a real dragon. With a movement of his hand, he released a big halberd.

The phantom swayed, but there was no sign of anyone.

In Zhou Lie's eyes, there was only the big halberd, which was pitch black, deep and heavy, filling the world in his eyes, like an extremely huge black dragon, showing its scales and half claws, it was the power to cover the sky.

Without hesitation, he sacrificed the Xuan Ce Furnace, which has been cultivated for many years, and this magic weapon was connected with his aura. It landed on the top of his head, and the majestic fire light fell down, anchoring the void and protecting the body.

boom!
The halberd fell, the alchemy furnace trembled, the void was hazy, and the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth scraped vigorously.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, the young man in Tsing Yi became more and more vigorous. As long as Zhou Lie had his support, he would not be afraid of breaking people.

then……

On the fighting platform, a young man held a big halberd, and beat on the alchemy furnace repeatedly like a big drum.

"The difference in realm is really terrifying."

Zhou Lie gritted his teeth and hit Xuan Ce's furnace with mana, encouraging him to maintain the undefeated situation.

He also knows that this is not acceptable.

Therefore, in the alchemy furnace, he lit a dark fire, and the terrifying magical atmosphere lingered and intertwined, turning into a small bird.

After more than a dozen breaths, the bird rushed out of the alchemy furnace, spread its wings, stretched its feathers to a length of two feet, turned into a divine bird that burned the sky, and killed the young man in Tsing Yi.

"After all, he is the disciple of Elder Yaolu."

Seeing this, the young man in Tsing Yi showed seriousness in his eyes. This attack condensed the essence of the fire control technique and the fire technique. It was so powerful that it could already hurt a monk at the ninth level of Qi refining.

He took a long breath, the inside of his abdomen flashed like thunder, and the mysterious light traveled on the surface of his body, and his breath soared to the sky.

immediately……

As soon as he exhaled, his breath fell, but a group of terrifying Xuanyin water thunder flew out.

As soon as the void was revealed, the sky changed drastically. In the chaos and darkness, he swallowed the burning heavenly divine bird in one gulp.

In an instant, the Xuanyin water mine couldn't hold back, and exploded, but it was in line with the wishes of the young man in Tsing Yi, sweeping Zhou Lie out of the fighting platform.

"lose..."

Zhou Lie stood up in embarrassment, looked at the fighting platform, and wanted to take another look at the high platform for watching the battle, but held back, lowered his head slightly, and walked outside.

What he didn't see was that his teacher on the high platform had been watching him.

"If you think about it clearly, your life will be better."

Chen Sheng's eyes were flat, and he asked Zhou Lie to participate in this outer sect competition for no other reason than to sharpen his apprentice.

Zhou Lie is fine, but it seems that there is always something on his body, making him uncomfortable.

Let him get in touch with his contemporaries and see the style of others, maybe he can get some insights.

This time, Zhou Lie didn't return to the medicine house, and he didn't know where he was going. He walked and wandered to the small clean courtyard on Zhuxia Peak.

This is the place where the teacher lived at first, and it was left on purpose, and no one lived in it later.

He randomly found a place, sat down, looked around, and wanted to know what it was like to be as good as a teacher.

"Am I being too hypocritical?"

Zhou Lie knew that there was something wrong with him, and his body and mind were bound by invisible shackles, and the reason for the shackles was that he put them on himself.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a first-order alchemist, the disciple of the elder Yaolu, with a respected status and a call for the wind and rain.

But he knew in his heart that he was just a lucky one.

Being selected by the teacher was not because of supernatural talent, nor because of an indestructible Dao heart, but because of the friendship left by his family ancestors in the past, which made him achieve what he is today.

In order to be able to match this opportunity, he takes the teacher as the criterion in everything, and dare not relax for a moment in the way of alchemy, for fear of letting outsiders say that he is nothing.

Although the teacher didn't care much, he seemed to have noticed something and asked him to let go of himself.

"Let them know, they'll probably spit on me."

In the outer sect competition, Zhou Lie saw that the real situation of an outer sect disciple was quite miserable.

Cultivation resources are extremely scarce, and they have to fight for everything.

There is no such thing as elixir of exercises, they are self-defeating, and the only way to fight is to be a Hall of Prosperity, relying on earning contribution points.

And these were never what he used to think about.

What he cares about is spiritual things, not material things.

This kind of overthinking when he is full makes him feel that sometimes he is really too hypocritical and condescending.

People of the same generation, poor and white, dare to break through.

In contrast, his starting point is high enough.

"Perhaps, there is nothing to be afraid of."

In my mind, such a sentence suddenly appeared.

Zhou Lie yelled, and his voice gradually became firmer. It's time to throw away those messy things.

Pack lightly, and on the high platform, turn into a spirited young man, and go for a fight.

Dragon Palace.

"Teacher, I lost."

When Zhou Lie came back, he still had a look of shame on his face. After all, he lost, which made the teacher lose face.

But fortunately, his eyes are no longer evasive, and he can look directly at his heart, as if something has been unloaded, revealing a sense of relaxation.

"Ah."

Chen Sheng didn't show it on his face, but he was still very happy in his heart.

Zhou Lie is a person who respects teachers, he likes him very much, and hopes that the other party can go far on the road to longevity.

"I want to go out and experience a trip."

After standing for a while, Zhou Lie finally made up his mind. He wanted to see the outside world. Like an ordinary outer disciple, he went out by himself to sharpen his mind.

"it is good."

Chen Sheng still had that indifferent look.

He never interferes with other people's will, at most he gives advice to a teacher, and practice is ultimately up to the individual.

There is nothing wrong with Zhou Lie wanting to travel far, sharpen his body, and fly high like a chick.

"Bring everything you need to bring. If you encounter something you can't handle, you can't force yourself. Just write a letter and come over."

The world of cultivating immortals is very cruel. If Zhou Lie goes out, he will inevitably encounter many dangerous things.

Lu Zhu would be worried about this, but it was Zhou Lie's personal choice, she would not stop it, she just told her to be careful.

"Master, I know."

Zhou Lie said reluctantly.

The Longxing Palace carries everything in his life. The teacher and his wife are the most important people to him. They are recreated with kindness. He will always miss this place when he goes out to practice.

……

After the foundation was established, Chen Sheng let the matter of the Great Competition in the outer sect dragged his mind, and when he pulled out at this time, he turned his eyes to the medicine hut.

It should be another round of adjusting the personnel structure of the medicine house.

Discussion tomorrow.

His order was simultaneously interpreted in the Twelve Halls of the Medicine Cottage, and all the alchemists had received the news and dared not neglect it.

This is the first discussion after Chen Sheng established the foundation, which is of great significance.

According to Shouyuan's calculations in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the medicine house must be under the control of this man for at least 100 years.

What kind of future they have in the past 100 years, this time is an important turning point.

The next day.

Time is up.

Chen Sheng didn't go to the meeting room, but came to the desk, sat down, picked up the pile of documents and looked at them.

It's the beginning of the month again, and it's time to deal with some internal matters.

"Three hundred Qingge pills in Yangxin Peak, plus five hundred bloodthirsty pills."

"Bai Yufeng has one thousand Qi Condensing Pills and three hundred Brain God Pills."

"[-] qi-nourishing pills and [-] blood-clotting pills in the Hall of Law Enforcement."

"Inner Sect Changming Peak, five hundred Qi Condensing Pills, and five hundred Buque Pills."

……

They were all ordinary documents of various veins, and Chen Sheng had already taken care of them. He divided them up casually and dealt with them in a few clicks.

Then, there are some things that are really worth dealing with.

"Alchemist Xiao Daofeng colluded with the inner sect, intending to get his hands on the medicine house."

When Chen Sheng saw this document, he was a little happy. He looked at the name seal on the back, and it really said "Qi Luo".

With his delay in breaking through the foundation building and getting older, the authority of the medicine house became a little turbulent.

Like a king in ancient times, he was old and weak, and his mind was chaotic. Even if he was still sitting in that position, the courtiers under him would be restless.

Xiao Daofeng, as he remembered, was an old seniority in the medicine hut, and his seniority was very high. A rising star like Qi Luo, although his alchemy skills were similar, was still overwhelmed by half of his head.

The matter of the medicine hut involved the inner sect. After he came to power, he took advantage of the foundation laid by Mr. Shen, slowly plotted, developed for decades, and expanded the basic base a lot, making people jealous.

Although the two families belonged to the same line, Chen Sheng was in charge of the medicine house, so he naturally didn't want others to intervene.

Over the years, the hands of the Neimen Alchemy Hall have been touched many times, and he knocked them off.

The fact is that the Alchemy Hall is not dead-hearted. Seeing that he was aging, he made calculations, planning to support others, and going one step further, swallowing up the channels of the Yaolu.

Let him put this document away.

When the drawers are opened, they all fall together.

This young man has a sincere heart in his heart. Since he became aware of Xiao Daofeng's ambitions a few years ago, he would write a document to express his worries every one or a half years.

Although he suppressed everything, he was not discouraged. He kept writing documents and persevered.

"On April [-]th, the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce in Sijiu City will auction off a copy of the inheritance of a second-tier alchemist. If you are interested, you can take a look."

The last document was sent by Mr. Shen.

After breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm, the path of a second-tier alchemist has very little inheritance in the medicine house, so Chen Sheng wrote to Elder Shen to learn from the old man.

Elder Shen didn't hide it either, and kept trying to clarify his doubts.

This time, such a piece of news came, and I thought he might be interested.

"Sijiu City, then go there then."

Chen Sheng said casually.

He is in charge of the medicine house, and it is very easy to win such an inheritance.

Chamber.

The alchemists in the Twelfth Hall of the Medicine Cottage gathered together, roughly counting, there were five or sixty people, which can be considered prosperous.

Time went by little by little, it had been delayed for half an hour, and it hadn't started yet.

Many alchemists have realized something, watching their noses with their eyes, their noses at their mouths, and sitting still so as not to lose their posture.

In this way, another half an hour passed.

"Why isn't the elder coming?"

An old man with gray hair, decent clothes and jade skin couldn't sit still, his eyes turned around, and finally he spoke.

Many alchemists looked at him, but did not respond.

There was only a young alchemist, with eyes as clear as clear water and sharp brows, who challenged him.

"Pill Master Xiao, why are you in a hurry, if the elder doesn't come, just wait."

Qi Luo is not a sharp and restrained person, he must say what he is not used to, and said: "Or, do you have other thoughts."

In the last sentence, he said it speciously, it is hard not to make people think in the direction of shadow.
