Chapter 367: Chapter 364: Eighth Level of Enlightenment
Liu Xi's eyes flashed in surprise. Xuan Kongzi was truly confident!
Although he was 90% confident of winning the alchemy championship, there was still a 10% failure rate, which should have made him stand out among the tens of thousands of other alchemists.
Liu Xi neither admitted nor denied it, but merely chuckled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, I will definitely work hard to win the championship." As soon as
Xuan Kongzi said this, before he could say anything, Cao Ying, who was standing next to him, charming and charming, stepped forward and said coquettishly,
"Master, you are so pessimistic about Ying'er. Although Ying'er lost to Master Liu Xi in the evaluation of the five major families, Ying'er may not lose in alchemy. You can't take care of someone else's prestige."
Not only Cao Ying, but also Dan Chen raised his head bravely, and his eyes were filled with confidence. Alchemy is what Dan Chen is most proud of.
The voice was unearthly, clear and incredibly pleasant: "Dan Chen also does not admit defeat."
The handsome man in black saw Liu Xi taking advantage, and envy flashed in his eyes. He closed his eyes to hide his emotions.
"No, Cao Ying is mine. How can this savage, who doesn't know what kind of trouble he's gotten himself into, compare to the noble me…"
He opened his eyes, stepped forward, and clenched his fists with a righteous expression as he said,
"Lord Liu Xi, although you are famous and have performed well in assessing the five major families, please don't underestimate the heroes of the world. We are all elites who came out of the Dan Tower, and our alchemy skills will never be inferior to others."
Lu Xi smiled casually and didn't refute anything. Once the elixir is refined, everything will be clear. Don't argue with fools, then your life will be easier.
Looking at Xuan Kongzi, he changed the topic and said,
"Senior, what do you think of the Soul Palace? They are coming with great strength this time. If it weren't for the strong people around me protecting me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape."
Of course, that was a lie. Even if Xiao Yixian was temporarily absent, Liu Xi still had the two Heavenly Demon Dolls in her ring.
Moreover, he was a one-star strongman Dou Zun. Defeating Mu Gu was difficult, but escaping was easy.
The reason was, of course, this:
"I was in Shengdan City. For Danta's sake, I rejected the Soul Palace and was threatened by it. I almost got into trouble. Danta needs to express my gratitude!" Speaking of this,
Xuan Kongzi also grew cold. This time, the Soul Palace was unscrupulous. It snuck straight into Shengdan City and attacked Liu Xi, who was attending the Dan Conference.
This was a provocation for Danta. If the Soul Palace wasn't so deep, Danta would definitely have explored it to the end, using the tyrannical position of the Soul Palace that was present at the Dan Conference.
Incidentally, Cao Ying and the other two were also successfully distracted. As alchemists, and especially as Danta's alchemists, they had a bad impression of the Soul Palace that thoughtlessly captured souls.
Since they dared to attack Liu Xi, would they still attack them in the future? It's not that you're afraid of thieves, but that you're afraid of what thieves will think. The feeling of being behind you is not good at all.
Suddenly, a common hatred for the enemy appeared in the eyes of Cao Ying and the other two. After all, alchemists are naturally competitive within themselves, but if they were stolen by the Soul Palace, it would just be a joke.
The handsome man probably wanted to show off his manliness in front of Cao Ying, so he made a blank expression and said respectfully:
"Master Xuan, this time the Soul Palace actually sent a veteran to attack Master Liu Xi. Why don't we take this opportunity to kill him? On one hand, it will raise the status of Dan Tower among alchemists, and on the other, it will shock everyone behind the Soul Palace."
Xuan Kongzi ignored him. The Soul Palace and Dan Tower are closely related. Strongman Dou Zun is the strongest fighting force wherever he is, but it is not easy to kill him if he is injured. Now is not the time for an all-out war.
Seeing that Liu Xi did not recognize the handsome man, Xuan Kongzi raised a finger, pointed at him, and introduced:
"Cao Ying and Dan Chen, you have met them before in the Five Major Families Examination. This is Song Qing, Grand Elder Danta's disciple, a seventh-grade senior alchemist, and also our Danta's top genius.
This time, it was our Danta who failed to notice it in time, causing you to get into trouble. In order to atone for Dante's mistake, uh...
I will give you several volumes of spiritual skill manifestation experience, as well as knowledge of the eighth-grade alchemy technique. I wrote all of this in my spare time. I hope it will be of use to you."
Liu Xi's face lit up. Not to mention the spiritual skill manifestation, the eighth-grade alchemy experience was very much to his liking. It was what he needed most right now.
He said, "Then Liu Xi would be honored to refuse. Thank you for the gift, sir!"
Xuan Kongzi shook his head and smiled,
"Why be so polite? All the alchemists in the world are one family. You are too formal, my friend. Just call me Old Xuan like them."
Liu Xi readily agreed. After all, Liu Xi's closeness to the Dante giants would only bring him benefit and no harm now.
"Master Xuan."
"Hmm…" Xuan Kongzi replied with a smile, but then his face became serious and he returned to the matter at hand,
"The Soul Palace is also a monster, and it is not easy to move. This time, the Soul Palace's target is obviously the Three Thousand Flames of our Dan Tower.
We promised at the very beginning that the top ten in the Dan Conference would have a chance to defeat him, and the Dan Tower cannot break its word."
Cao Ying interrupted him:
"Master, the Soul Palace has ulterior motives, why can't we just refuse him? We should let him participate in the Dan Conference. If he takes away the Three Thousand Flames, wouldn't it be a good deal for the Soul Palace!"
Cao Ying could think of this, so how could Xuan Kongzi not think of it? He sighed:
"How could I not know, but the most important thing in the Dan Conference is honesty, fairness, and openness. Even alchemists from the Soul Palace can participate in the competition."
Xuan Kongzi fell silent, his face showing obvious fear, and said softly:
"Due to the long-term seal of the Three Thousand Flames, he has become very hostile to Dante. If he is released, he will definitely attack Danyu, and the losses will be enormous.
Over the countless years, the Three Thousand Flames' intelligence has already become quite strong. Coupled with his wildness, he is difficult to tame. Dante tried his best to force him to surrender.
And because he has gradually absorbed the power of the starry sky over the years, our seal has gradually ceased to restrain him, so we must resolve this issue as soon as possible."
Hearing the name of the Three Thousand Flames, everyone's eyes shone. To every alchemist, this strange fire is a rare divine artifact.
After everyone had digested this information, Xuan Kongzi said in a deep voice:
"This time, the Soul Palace's target is the Three Thousand Flames. If they fail to gather them, they might break the seal and release the Three Thousand Flames.
That way, Dante will have to suffer heavy losses. I don't know how many alchemist souls they will take." "
The Three Thousand Flames are incredibly powerful. Although they are not in the top five of the various flames, their strength is enough to enter this list."
Xuan Kongzi's face gradually became serious.
"Due to the condensation of the starry sky's power, the Three Thousand Flames are equivalent to an immortal body, so even we can only seal it, not kill it.
If someone were to subdue him, that person would be equivalent to possessing an immortal body, so it should not be obtained by the inhabitants of the Soul Palace.
The purpose of my search this time is to hope that you can stop the plot of the Soul Palace. I hope that the champion of the Alchemist Association will eventually be chosen from among you."
Xuan Kongzi looked at the young men in front of him with a burning gaze, naturally focusing on Liu Xi.
I must admit, this youth is even better than my disciple Cao Ying.
