Chapter 190 Good Disciple!

The Dharma Ending Age has just ended, and the full recovery of spiritual energy has only begun for less than a year.

Taoist Xuanye couldn't believe that there was any other alchemy in the world that could compare with their Zhengyi Temple!

He believed that Liu Zihao, this yellow-mouthed kid, was just talking nonsense and exaggerating!

Taoist Xuanye, who felt that his own Taoist lineage was offended, was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and directly questioned Liu Zihao, forgetting how bad his current situation was.

Seeing that the old Taoist was actually anxious, Liu Zihao couldn't help but curl his lips slightly and said:

"What's outdated? There is no place that can satisfy me, okay?"

"You lied to me that it was an ancient alchemy inheritance. Do you really think that I am young and ignorant and so easy to fool?"

"To tell you the truth, if I couldn't beat you and was worried that revealing my alchemy inheritance would attract your covetousness and ill intentions, I would have turned the table over with you long ago!"

With his elder brother standing by his side, Liu Zihao was full of courage and no longer had any fear on his face.

He was even more ruthless and unscrupulous when he spoke. After a few words, he almost gave the old Taoist Xuanye high blood pressure.

"With your level of alchemy, you actually want me to become your disciple?"

"Hehe, you are dreaming!"

"Putting aside my personal cultivation strength, my current alchemy attainments are enough to beat you by several streets. If I really want to become your disciple, you should be my disciple!"

"Why, you are still glaring at me, are you not convinced?"

"If you are not convinced, then let's compete. Whoever loses will kowtow and become your disciple. Do you dare?"

Liu Zihao spoke arrogantly, with an attitude that he did not take Xuanye Taoist priest seriously at all.

Puff!

Xuanye Taoist priest was so angry that his body trembled and suddenly spit out a mouthful of old blood.

However, after hearing the bet mentioned by Liu Zihao at the end, the old Taoist priest who had just vomited blood could not help but brighten his eyes again, and his mood instantly calmed down.

"Are you serious?!"

Master Xuanye stared at Liu Zihao and asked loudly:

"Do you really want to compete with me in alchemy? If you lose, will you be willing to worship me as your master?"

Child, if you have such a thought, you should have said it earlier!

If you had said it earlier, I would have drunk the tea of ​​respect to my master, right?

Master Xuanye was excited and extremely confident in his own alchemy level.

The same words.

He absolutely did not believe that among the native human race of this era, anyone's alchemy level could surpass their Zhengyiguan and compete with Master Xuanye!

This Liu Zihao in front of him did have some alchemy talent, and even found a new way to refine the [Satiation Pill] that was widely circulated in the outside world.

But how old is he?

A little kid who is not even twenty years old, even if he has been refining alchemy since his mother's womb, how can he compare with him, an alchemist who has been immersed in alchemy for tens of thousands of years?

"Wrong!" Liu Zihao raised his head and retorted proudly: "It's not that I want to worship you as my master, but you are sure to lose, so you will definitely worship me!"

"I just hope you don't regret it and refuse to admit it!"

This is exactly what I want to say!

The old Taoist heard this, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said loudly:

"Okay, okay, it's a deal!"

"As long as you can beat me in the way of alchemy, why not worship you as my master?!"

"I also hope that after the competition is over, you don't cry and refuse to abide by the agreement!"

While speaking, Xuanye Taoist carefully glanced at Liu Zimo beside Liu Zihao.

Seeing that Liu Zimo didn't say anything to stop him, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, feeling that he had decided to accept this disciple today!

"Okay!" Liu Zihao stepped forward and agreed on the spot, and then said to the old Taoist in a proud voice: "Don't say I'm bullying you. You can choose whatever elixir you want to refine, and I'll take it all!" Hearing this, the corner of Xuanye's mouth twitched. He was originally going to say this, why was this kid ahead of him? However, since this kid is so confident, why should he be polite? Just teach him a lesson! "In this case, let's compete to refine the [Soul Protection and Nourishing Mind Pill]!" Xuanye Taoist didn't think much and said directly: "Didn't you just say that the success rate of my Zhengyi Temple's [Soul Protection and Nourishing Mind Pill] is too low, which is a waste of spiritual medicine and a waste of natural resources?" "Then let's make a bet with this pill to see who can refine the [Soul Protection and Nourishing Mind Pill] with higher quality and more quantity!" It can be seen that the old Taoist is still holding back his anger, dissatisfied with Liu Zihao's just belittling of their Zhengyi Temple's alchemy skills. Liu Zihao nodded in agreement without raising any objections.

In his opinion, if someone wanted to be abused, there was no reason for him to stop them.

Seeing that Liu Zihao did not object, Taoist Xuanye was slightly happy.

He sat up slowly, reached into his arms, took out a healing elixir and swallowed it into his stomach. The injuries on his soul had obviously improved.

However, when he used the secret technique to break through the divine restriction that Liu Zimo had just imposed on him, he found that with his current cultivation strength, he could not shake it at all.

Taoist Xuanye could not help but have a further understanding of Liu Zimo's strength, and his awe and fear were even greater.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I wonder if you can remove the restriction on me?"

After several unsuccessful attempts, Taoist Xuanye looked up at Liu Zimo with some embarrassment and asked:

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I have no ill intentions towards your brother, I just want to compete with him!"

Liu Zimo took a deep look at the veteran and nodded slightly.

brush!

With a wave of his right hand, all the restrictions on Lao Dao were lifted.

However, just in case, he still left some back-ups in Lao Dao's sea of ​​energy and consciousness.

Once the old Taoist has evil thoughts in his heart and wants to harm Liu Zihao, Liu Zimo can subdue him again in an instant!

"Thank you fellow Taoist for helping me!"

Old Dao Xuan Ye, who had regained control over his body, sincerely bowed his head and thanked Liu Zimo.

Then, the old Taoist priest straightened his body, waved his hand and took out two spiritual materials for refining the [Soul-Protecting and Mind-nurturing Pill] from his storage spiritual weapon, and looked at Liu Zihao seriously.

"Little brother, pick one!"

"Everyone only has one chance. After the elixir is completed, we will compare again and determine the outcome in one round!"

Master Xuan Ye confidently asked Liu Zihao to take the lead in selecting the spiritual materials. He seemed to have a sure chance of winning the upcoming competition.

Liu Zihao was not polite to him and randomly selected a spiritual material to start with.

Then he asked the eldest brother to take out the alloy pill furnace that he usually used, and lit a fire in the courtyard to refine it on the spot.

Old Taoist Xuan Ye glanced at the little guy's alchemy method and saw that he actually used ordinary firewood as a fire source to directly heat the alchemy furnace, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Using ordinary fire to refine elixirs is undoubtedly the lowest and most primitive refining method in the eyes of alchemists like them.

Ordinary fire is difficult to control, and the temperature cannot be controlled as desired. Refining an ordinary elixir is okay, and it can barely become an elixir.

But it is almost impossible to refine a high-level spiritual elixir with a rank like [Soul-Protective and Mind-nurturing Pill]!

[In this wave, Pindao has already won! 】

[Liu Zihao is still too young and energetic after all. After all, he still needs a master like me to train him before he can become a talent! 】

Taoist Xuan Ye's lips curled up slightly, even if the competition hadn't officially started yet, he was already confident of winning.

brush!

After taking out his natal elixir furnace, Taoist Xuanye quickly activated the spiritual fire and refined it on the spot.

Next to him, Liu Zimo couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he heard Taoist Xuan Ye's inner thoughts.

This old Taoist priest was happy a little too early.

Others don't know how good Liu Zihao's alchemy skills are. Doesn't Liu Zimo, the elder brother who taught him alchemy, not know?

The alchemy inheritance that Liu Zihao practices is all the inheritance from the outside world that Liu Zimo learned word by word from Yao Lingling. It is the secret inheritance of the top alchemy sect in the human country of the Illusory Demon Realm.

Liu Zimo couldn't guarantee how it would compare to Zhengyiguan's alchemy inheritance.

After all, he has never seen Zheng Yiguan's alchemy method, so it's hard to comment.

But Liu Zimo also knew very well what kind of character his own brother was.

If he hadn't been extremely confident, would Haozi deliberately say words to irritate Master Xuan Ye and set up a trap to trick Master Xuan Ye?

That's right.

This is a way to provoke generals, a trap deliberately set by Liu Zihao for Taoist priest Xuan Ye.

It was precisely because Liu Zimo saw this and knew that his younger brother was tempted and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to keep this old man Xuan Ye by his side that he cooperated like this.

Mid-air.

When Jiao Linglong saw the movement below, she couldn't help but send a message to her master secretly to remind her:

"Master, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this matter!"

"Although Taoist Xuanye's cultivation has always been at the bottom among his nine brothers, his talent for alchemy is second only to Master Chongxu in the entire Zhengyi Temple!"

"My master may not know that in the ancient times, this Zhengyi Guan founded the sect based on the way of alchemy. Their inheritance of the way of alchemy was unparalleled in the entire ancient era!"

"Xuan Ye is the one among Master Chongxu who is best at refining elixirs. Back then, even my old master Wuyou Taoist asked him to refine elixirs!"

"Young Master Zihao is undoubtedly challenging Xuan Ye's area of ​​expertise by competing with him in his alchemy skills, and he is very likely to suffer a big loss!"

Jiao Linglong doesn't know the alchemy path, so it doesn't know what level Liu Zihao's alchemy level is at now.

But speaking from common sense, it does not believe that Liu Zihao, who is only seventeen years old, can surpass Taoist Xuanye who was already famous in ancient times in terms of alchemy attainments.

Hearing this, Liu Zimo shook his head slightly and said to Jiao Linglong:

"It doesn't matter. It's great if Haozi wins. It's also satisfying to have a spiritual realm disciple to serve you."

"To take a step back, even if Haozi loses, what will happen?"

"At worst, I'll kill this Taoist Xuanye with one blow, and it'll be over!"

"You want to accept my brother as your apprentice, but he's not qualified!"

Well?

Jiao Linglong was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but mourn for two seconds of silence for little Taoist Xuan Ye.

It would be nice if this guy loses in a while, at least he can still have one life left.

But if he can't distinguish the situation and wants to win, then his only choice is death.

Its new owner has never been a soft-hearted person.

All in all, Taoist Xuan Ye has hit the iron wall this time and met the evil star!

You said, you have finally survived the Age of Dharma Ending and are still alive today. Why do you want to seek death yourself and provoke Liu Zimo?

at this time.

The alchemy competition in the Taoist temple courtyard continues.

Liu Zihao leisurely and leisurely kept adding firewood to the alchemy furnace, and occasionally stirred the alchemy furnace with a spoon.

It looks like he is making soup and cooking. It is very down-to-earth and does not look like a regular Danshi.

On the other hand, Taoist Xuan Ye was not only skilled in alchemy techniques, but he also concentrated on controlling the fire and adding medicine, and made a batch carefully without any intention of letting go.

It seems that they can't wait to prove to Liu Zihao with actual results that the alchemy inheritance they are looking at is not as ugly and worth mentioning as the other party said!

Not only did he want to win this game, but he also wanted to convince Liu Zihao of losing and become his disciple willingly!

Little did he know that his actions, in the eyes of Jiao Linglong in mid-air, were undoubtedly taking the initiative to die.

If it weren't for the fear of being punished by its master, and if it didn't have a deep friendship with Xuan Ye, Jiao Linglong would have almost been tempted to send a message secretly to remind this unlucky guy.

soon.

About ten minutes passed.

Liu Zihao glanced at the old man Xuan Ye who was still busy there, took the lead to remove the firewood and turned off the fire, and sat on the edge to chat with his old brother.

When Old Master Xuan Ye saw Liu Zihao like this, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, thinking that this little guy knew that he was not good enough and could not make alchemy, so he had given up on his own initiative.

However, he did not stop refining the alchemy in his hands because of this.

Now that the furnace is turned on and the fire is lit, even if a knife comes from the sky, he still has to refine this furnace of elixir. This is his long-standing habit of refining elixir.

Moreover, even if Liu Zihao gave up, he would definitely win the bet, and Master Xuan Ye also wanted to show his best side to this new disciple who was about to start.

In this way, Master Xuan Ye carefully controlled the temperature and fire, and worked for more than ten minutes before turning off the heat and turning on the furnace, using his best pill control technique to collect the final elixir.

"Haha, nine high-grade elixirs!"

Seeing that there were actually nine [Soul-protecting and Mind-nurturing Pills] that were finally formed, reaching the limit of a perfect batch of spiritual pills, Old Taoist Xuan Ye couldn't help laughing.

Such a rate of elixir production and elixir formation was extremely rare even in ancient times when spiritual energy was more abundant, let alone in modern times when spiritual energy has just been revived.

It can be seen that after ten thousand years of silence, his understanding of the alchemy realm has been greatly improved.

"Come on, good disciple! Take a good look at the [Soul-protecting and Mind-nurturing Pill] that I have refined for my master. It is a furnace of nine pills, and all of them are top-grade!"

Taoist priest Xuan Ye held up the nine top-grade [Soul-protecting and Mind-nurturing Pills] that had just been released. He walked up to Liu Zihao with great pride and said loudly:

"The 30% rate of elixir success that you think is nothing at all in front of a real alchemy master!"

"How about it, now you can willingly accept Pindao as your teacher, right?"

Liu Zihao lowered his head and glanced at the nine high-grade elixirs held by Taoist Xuan Ye, and curled his lips and said:

"You have become so happy with just nine master-grade elixirs. How dare you say that your alchemy skills are so good?"

"Good disciple! I'll give you a chance. Now it's up to you to open my master's alchemy furnace with your own hands and see what the quality of the [Soul-protecting and Mind-nurturing Pill] I refined is like?"

What a tough-tongued duck!

You've reached this point, and you still refuse to admit defeat?

Xuan Ye looked at Liu Zihao speechlessly, then raised his hand and opened the top cover of the alchemy furnace in front of Liu Zihao.

Wow!

The white mist rises and the fragrance of elixirs overflows!

Smelling this strange elixir fragrance, Master Xuan Ye couldn't help but change his expression slightly, and quickly lowered his head to look at the bottom of the elixir furnace.

Then, he staggered and fell directly to the ground.

His face instantly turned pale and bloodless, and the nine top-grade [Soul-Protect and Mind-Nursing Pills] he held in his hand instantly fell to the ground.

"The ultimate elixir!"

"And there are also nine in total!"

"How is this possible? Not to mention that the time it took him to refine the elixir was cut in half compared to mine, but why is the quantity and quality of the elixirs he produced so much better than mine!?"

"This shouldn't be the case!"

"With ordinary furnaces, ordinary fire, and unskilled alchemy techniques, how could it be possible to refine the top-quality [Soul-Protect and Mind-Nursing Pill]?"

"How did he do it? This is not reasonable at all..."

Taoist Xuanye was talking to himself crazily, as if he was possessed by a demon.
