MOVES

CHAPTER 101 - OBTAINING THE EMBLEM

Seeing Su Lie's response, Ya Si nodded his head and left the room.

If the materials were selected, someone would bring them over within a short period of time.

As a Apothecary Guild, he did not need to worry about the raw materials for Tier 1 pills.

Su Lie slightly adjusted his mood and immediately walked forward. Lifting his right hand, he slowly pressed down.

As his right hand descended, the light on the door started to flicker and then slowly became fixed.

A line of text appeared on it, gradually taking shape.

Qi Gathering Pill, peak grade one pill. The effect can condense the energy within one's body and increase the attack power by several folds.

It was an extremely simple introduction, but it caused Su Lie to frown slightly. In the end, he slowly let out a sigh and said helplessly: Such bad luck, I really did get a peak first-grade medicinal pellet … Forget it, let's just leave it at that.

Although he had practiced in the Ling Feng Merchant Guild many times, he still had a high chance of failure!

To Su Lie, refining a peak first-grade pill was not a guarantee of a 100% success rate.

Forget it. Let's begin. If that is not possible, we can use our blood to forcefully improve our quality …

Shrugging his shoulders, Su Lie sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

The density of the surrounding spiritual energy made him feel relaxed and happy.

Not long later, someone naturally delivered all of the ingredients.

He took over all the materials!

Su Lie walked in front of the cauldron.

Xiao Yan placed both hands on it and Essence Qi slowly surged out. Immediately, a raging flame started to burn within the Pill Cauldron.

Next is to refine the medicinal ingredients …

He casually grabbed a piece of Qi Condensation Grass from a pile of herbs beside him and threw it into the cauldron, starting his refining process.

Outside, Apothecary Guild.

Hua Yi was anxiously watching Su Lie's refining process. When he saw that Su Lie had actually drawn out a peak first-grade medicinal pill, he instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.

Even a grade-1 apothecary would find it difficult to forge a grade-1 pinnacle pill!

The first time he accepted the test, he would be nervous.

If this continues, it won't be much fun if he fails.

Hua Tong stood at the side as the corner of his mouth slowly raised up to form a cold smile, as he watched the scene in front of him with interest.

Hua Yi and Hua Tong were originally a pair of brothers, and although they weren't blood related, they stood out within the same family.

Coming to this Heaven Origin City Apothecary Guild, their relationship was also extremely good.

However, as long as one was human, they would be influenced by power.

In the end, Hua Yi was still a step ahead of him in the competition and broke through to Grade Four Alchemist first!

And Hua Tong had stayed at the peak of Grade Three Alchemist for more than ten years already.

To an apothecary, reaching grade-4 was a completely different realm for them!

The difference in strength had resulted in the difference in power, causing Hua Tong's attitude towards Hua Yi to become even more vile, and even until now, his attitude was as if fire and water.

And right now, Hua Yi was already the core of the association. He was extremely close to all those who practiced martial arts.

As for Hua Tong, he trained hard with all his heart, but still did not have any hopes of breaking through to Grade Four Alchemist.

This kid's refining method is so crude, I'm afraid he hasn't even come into contact with refining pills for a year.

After observing for a while from the outside, Hua Tong sarcastically spoke: Hehe, for a pill at the peak of the first-grade, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

Hua Yi glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

The success or failure of refining a pill was not something he could control.

Time passed bit by bit. Through the protective screen outside, he could clearly see the process of Su Lie's refining.

Hua Tong had a taunting expression at the beginning, but he was now speechless.

The reason was simple. Although Su Lie's refining method was crude, from start to finish, he had not made a single mistake!

Only after he had refined all the herbs did he stretch out his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and sigh.

Those herbs have already been refined!

Even though it was mediocre and didn't have any outstanding points, there was no mistake. All of its medicinal effects had been preserved.

The next step is to form the pill …

Hua Yi's eyes narrowed slightly as he suddenly laughed softly.

Su Lie had completely entered a state of mind. According to this, the possibility of him making a mistake while concocting pills was very small.

As the curtain descended, Su Lie's hands moved rhythmically as he controlled the size of the flames.

The liquid or powder gradually fused together into a ball under the unceasing roasting of the flames.

Is there a time limit for this kind of examination?

With a strange laugh, Hua Tong suddenly said while looking at Hua Yi.

Yes, time is limited to one hour. If the two hours are not enough for the pill to be refined, then the points can be deducted.

Hua Yi nodded his head. Indeed, there was such a rule. However, most of them were ranked after becoming an apothecary. No one would pay attention to them during the assessment.

Hua Tong laughed, then looked at the clock on the wall, and sneered: At this time, there is only a quarter of an hour left.

What?

Because the rules had been relaxed, Hua Yi hadn't really cared about time.

Now that Hua Tong brought it up, he was immediately shocked.

There was indeed only a quarter of an hour left.

Although Su Lie's pill refining process was also nearing the end, it would still be very difficult for him to complete the final condensing pill in fifteen minutes … Ke ke, if he was unable to complete it within this period of time. This examination has failed …

Hua Tong scoffed, his gaze becoming a bit crafty.

Hua Yi's expression was cold, but he began to worry in his heart.

Although not many people had complied with this rule, it did exist. If Hua Tong wanted to correct him, it would be somewhat troublesome … Inside the Pill Refining Room, Su Lie's refining process had also finally come to an end!

Watching the take shape again, a strong aroma wafted out. Taking a deep breath, Su Yun felt refreshed.

I'm in good shape today.

Muttering softly, Su Lie's gaze suddenly focused. His right hand left the fire outlet and he placed it on top of the Pill Cauldron.

Whooosh.

A strange feeling began to spread from his palm, and that pill fragrance was actually all absorbed into his palm!

The heat spread out from his palm, passing through the layers of meridians in his body before finally entering into his dantian.

A faint dragon's roar sounded, engulfing that stream of heat. After that, it became silent, without a single sound.

This scene has appeared many times. Could it be that the dragon in my body needs this kind of Core Qi?

When the pellet was first formed, it would release a few Innate Dan Qi along with it.

Although these items had extremely pure energy, most of it had been distributed over time.

Even if he was able to absorb it, it wouldn't be of any use because there weren't many of it.

And now, the dragon inside him actually needed something like that!

This caused Su Lie to be slightly surprised. Being surprised was being surprised, but every time he was refining the pill, he would do it according to the instructions. It didn't have any effect on the pill either.

This small movement did not attract Hua Yi and Meng Duan's attention.

After silently waiting for the pill to be formed, Su Lie slowly withdrew his Essence.

With a flick of his finger, a stream of Essence shot out and enveloped the pill.

He took out a jade bottle from his Cosmic Bag and slowly put the pill into it.

He let out a long breath, opened the door, and left the room.

Heh heh, but the time limit was three minutes.

The moment he stepped out of the door, he immediately saw a sinister looking Hua Tong.

He paused for a moment and then looked at Hua Yi.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still handed the jade bottle over.

As the door slowly opened, a rich fragrance immediately filled the entire venue.

The pill is round and smooth, and its medicinal properties are well-preserved. It is a very successful Qi Nodding Pill.

Hua Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the pill's quality. He then said softly, Congratulations, you've passed the test to become a first rank alchemist.

Phew …

Su Lie instantly let out a breath of relief. He looked at Hua Yi and asked, What three minutes?

Hua Yi's face froze as he recounted the time limit.

Su Lie's expression changed slightly and he did not say anything.

Of course, the rules are dead, and people are alive.

Huayi then added, If it is not too long ago, your qualification will not be revoked.

After he finished speaking, he did not continue to pay any attention to Hua Tong and only walked to the side. He directly took out a first rank alchemist's badge from the counter and handed it to Su Lie. If you fail to pass the Tianyuan Sect's examination, you can show me this badge. "

In the end, he still let out a long breath, shot him a furious look, and walked out.

Su Lie curled his lips and said his thanks.

After teasing for a while longer, he also sped back to the inn and slowly sat down to recover his strength.

Even though he had succeeded in concocting the pill, it still consumed some of the Essence in his body!

Only by seizing the opportunity to recover, can he be in a better position to receive tomorrow's selection.

What he was clear about was that Hua Yi didn't know his age.

Even though there were few Tier 1 apothecaries in their twenties, it wasn't like there weren't any.

However, a sixteen year old Tier 1 Pill Refiner … Probably, in the entire history of Tianyuan City's Apothecary Guild, this had never happened before.

Zhang Xuan slowly took out a handful of spirit stones and crushed them. Then, he infused the spirit stones into his body.

The comfortable feeling of the spirit energy surging within his body made Su Lie feel as if all the meridians in his body were burning, transforming into a stream of heat that flowed into his meridians.

The Five Spiritual Body has already broken through the fire and thunder attributes, but I haven't been able to achieve any of the other attributes.

Su Lie's mind slowly sank down as he suddenly thought of something. He then muttered to himself: If I can break through the third attribute today, not only will the great increase brought about eliminate exhaustion, it can also increase my strength by a large amount.

With this thought, he didn't continue to neglect them.

After pondering for a moment, his right hand took out a few water type magic cores.

With a casual crush, he absorbed all of the attribute power into his body.

CHAPTER 102 - SOUND

Tsssssssss —

After absorbing the power of the elements into his body, Su Lie instantly felt the originally warm feeling in his body turn into bone-piercing cold!

The extremely cold energy flowed through his limbs and bones. There were even some tiny meridians that had frozen.

When one's meridians froze, the pain one would feel would be immense!

With a groan, Su Lie's hands formed a seal and pulled out a wisp of pure Qi from his Dantian that did not have any attribute. He then slowly closed in.

His body contained the ice attribute!

He only needed to borrow the magic core's energy to awaken this attribute.

As the Yuan Qi slowly came into contact with the pure energy, it didn't feel any intense pain. Instead, it gradually fused together and turned into an attribute power.

Time passed by in this manner, little by little. Su Lie's ice type Monster Core in his Qiankun bag also gradually bottomed out.

Only when dawn broke did the seal in his hand slowly change and finally stop moving.

Crunch.

Third level of the Natal Opening Realm!

His entire body shivered as Su Lie suddenly opened his eyes!

Ye Zichen moved his hands slightly, trying to break the damage that the Chilling Qi had done to him.

Although his four limbs were frozen solid, the origin energy within his four limbs and bones weren't affected at all. Instead, it circulated as if it were flying.

The breakthrough in the Third level of the Natal Opening Realm was within his expectations.

Awakening had one of the attributes, and the Primarily Awakening brought along the purest energy. No matter what rank it was, it would have an extremely good effect on washing and leveling up.

It would be strange if he did not break through.

After the initial awakening of the ice attribute, the Fire and Thunder Attributes in his body had been suppressed. He would still need a period of time to get used to it.

After a short moment of rest, he sat cross-legged once again and entered a state of cultivation.

In the morning, when the sun had risen and the purple qi came from the east, the spiritual qi was the purest.

Cultivating at this time would have twice the results with half the effort.

Waiting for the morning sun to slowly bring that purple gas into his body, Su Lie's stiff limbs also eased a little.

Smiling lightly, he sent his spirit sense into his dantian and looked at the three drops of origin energy seeds.

The origin energy seed slowly revolved as liquid spirit energy constantly dripped from it and flowed into the whirlpool.

These three drops of origin energy seed meant that his origin energy recovery rate was three times that of an ordinary person's!

And its quality was even purer.

I want to …

As he was slowly sinking, he heard a sound coming from within his ears.

The sound was very soft, almost like the sound of a mosquito.

However, when it entered Su Lie's ears, it was actually so clear.

Who's talking?

Su Lie's mind that had fallen into silence was instantly shocked. He abruptly opened his eyes and looked around the room!

He used his spiritual sense to scan the area, but he didn't find any living beings.

I want to …

Just as he was feeling bewildered, a second voice slowly rang out!

As he was stunned, Su Lie held his breath. Only now did he realize that this sound had come from within his body.

How could there be such a voice in his body?

I want to …

The third sound rang out. At this time, Su Lie had already determined that the voice had come from within his dantian!

He used his spiritual sense to search his dantian with all his strength.

After stepping into the Natal Opening Realm, Su Lie could already see every single part of his Dantian with his own eyes without missing a single detail.

Thinking of the legends about the martial arts on the continent, such as the terrifying legends about the possession or parasitism of some powerful figure, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

His soul consciousness kept darting around in his dantian, and he didn't dare to miss any of the information that was sent back.

Within his dantian, other than the constantly flowing Essence Qi and the three drops of Essence Seed, there was only the blood-colored ancient cauldron that was quietly floating.

He was surrounded by a purple mist which surrounded the ancient cauldron, preventing the origin energy from invading.

Other than this ancient cauldron, there was nothing else in his dantian!

Amidst his astonishment, Su Lie tried to control a drop of Essence to slowly shoot into it. Instantly, he was enveloped by the purple fog, broke apart, and then shot out.

Inside this ancient cauldron, there is a dragon that became my martial spirit. Could it be that the dragon is speaking?

In his astonishment, he was completely speechless.

He continued to control the Yuan Power in his body to shoot out little by little in order to disperse the purple fog.

He didn't dare to make any large movements, afraid that he would mess up his dantian and fall down with heavy injuries.

The purple fog was actually the purple blood flowing in his veins!

The originally extremely resilient purple blood was now as corrosive as king water, corroding and disintegrating the origin energy that shot out.

How is this possible?

Stunned at the scene in front of him, Su Lie clearly remembered that even though this ancient cauldron was also protected by the purple fog, it was definitely not this thick!

He didn't even need to use his elemental energy to clearly see what was inside the ancient cauldron.

But now, there was so much purple fog, so much that there was nothing he could do!

During his usual training, he was completely unaware of this change. This caused him to be shocked and his heart turned cold.

Recalling back a few months ago, Su Lie suddenly thought of a crucial point!

That was … Pill refining!

In his pill refining at the Azure Sun Auction House, there was a strange power that sucked away the soul nourishing energy within it. In the pill refining that followed, there was a strange power that sucked away the Innate Dan Qi.

Could it be... This was the ancient cauldron in front of him?

Although there wasn't any evidence that could be presented, this was the only possibility that Su Lie could think of!

Although the pure energy was unable to be absorbed by the Innate Dan Qi, it was usually allowed to dissipate within the world. No one would have imagined that it would become like this after being absorbed by the ancient cauldron.

It seems that I have to be careful when concocting pills in the future. If there really is something wrong with this strange thing, I won't be able to find a place to cry …"

Zhuge Ming left this ancient cauldron to him, although until now, it did not do anything that was harmful to him.

But after all, it was still in his dantian. If there came a day where it would backfire, Su Lie wouldn't be able to defend against it … After trying a few more times, he still couldn't do anything about it!

Su Lie finally exited his cultivation state. He took a deep breath of air and walked out of the room.

It had taken him close to two hours to complete the previous ordeal.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and there was no haze.

Not far away, there was still a sea of people at the Tianyuan Sect registry office.

Qing Hong!

He unsheathed himself and cut off a leaf!

After breaking through another level of strength, Su Lie became even more adept at controlling Qing Hong.

The number of acupoints opened by 3000 star charts had also reached more than twenty-five.

Whooosh.

Qing Hong's sword qi shot back, just as Su Lie was about to put away the sword sheath.

Suddenly, the sword sheath began to tremble. Then, it slightly bent and pointed toward a room.

Su Lie subconsciously looked towards that room and immediately let out a soft hmm?

He made a sound.

He could clearly feel that there was a large amount of energy being released from that room.

This is … Su Yan's room? "

After a moment of surprise, Su Lie suddenly remembered who lived inside.

There was only one possibility for such a violent fluctuation of energy, and that was … Advanced.

He really broke through?

He slowly approached the room and carefully observed the movement inside.

He waited until the energy inside was reduced and his aura returned to normal before slowly pushing the door open and entering.

On the bed, Su Yan had just opened his eyes.

He waved his hands a few times, and the hand seals he had been training in disappeared.

He opened his eyes and saw Su Lie and immediately exclaimed: Brother Su Lie!

Don't call me that. You're two years older than me.

Laughing, Su Lie did not mind and nodded as he asked: You broke through?

Yes.

Su Yan nodded, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression darkened a little: It's getting late, if it's past noon, then we can forget about it, let's go and register now.

Although he had broken through to the Natal Opening Realm, with the strength of the First level of the Natal Opening Realm, the chances of being eliminated in the next second selection was practically one hundred percent … During the brutal competition along the way, if one didn't have enough strength to kill others, they could only become the target of slaughter.

Although the chances are slim, there is still hope.

Su Lie also knew what he was thinking and lightly patted his shoulder: Before you try, you can't easily give up. When we were in Qingyang Secret Realm, who would have thought that our Su and Luo Families would win?

He slowly nodded his head. Naturally, he understood this principle!

After waiting for the boiling energy in his body to calm down, he walked out of the room and headed for the registration point in the center of the city.

It's good that he broke through. At that time, it should be a good choice for the three of us to form an alliance on the way to the competition. At the very least, it will not be so easy to be eliminated …

Geniuses were not allowed to be mass-produced!

In the second round of selection, very few people were able to form a group. After all, they were all strangers to each other.

Even if it was a temporary team, they would still be on guard against each other and would not be able to unleash their full strength. They would be on guard against any backlash from their teammates at all times.

And Su Lie, Luo Xianyu, and Su Yan, the three of them could be completely trusted!

In addition to their terrifying fighting strength, even in this cruel knockout tournament, they could still be considered to be quite strong.

If anyone dared to underestimate him, they would definitely let him know what was the price … Not many people could afford such a price.

What about Luo Xiaoyu?

Only now did Su Lie realize that the door to Luo Xiaoyu's room was already wide open.

And among them, there was no trace of her. It was obvious that she was no longer in the inn.

He should be leaving first. He will gather at the east gate around noon …

Su Lie did not mind it too much. His body flashed and he directly left.

After noon today, all the participants of the second round would gather at the east gate.

And tomorrow, the second round of the competition would officially begin!

CHAPTER 103 - GONGSUN YUE

At the east gate of Tianyuan City, ten miles away.

Outside the east gate, there was a sea of people!

It was even better than the center of the city. Aside from the young experts, there were also some scattered markets for cultivation items.

After roughly walking around, Su Lie naturally had no interest in the items at the stall.

Instead, it was the disciples of the large clans and rogue cultivators who had never seen many markets that were unrelenting towards these items. All of them were generous and had painful expressions on their faces.

After searching through the crowd for a while, he finally found Luo Xiaoyu under a large tree.

Luo Xiaoyu herself was exceptionally beautiful. Surrounding her were almost all men.

However, there was a cold look on its face, so they did not dare to get too close and could only watch from afar.

Drizzle.

After exchanging words, Luo Xiaoyu, who had been resting with her eyes closed all this time, suddenly raised her head. After waiting for her to confirm that the person who had arrived was Su Lie, her ice-cold face finally unfrozen.

The voice was crisp and even had a hint of coquettishness to it.

This caused the surrounding men to be slightly stunned. All of their gazes that were filled with hostility shot towards Su Lie.

Most of the people here had strengths similar to Su Lie!

After a few glances, he tactfully left.

And a few of them had reached the Fourth level of the Natal Opening Realm, while the experts of the fifth stage were glaring at Su Lie.

Jealous!

The two words were almost engraved on his face.

'Could it be that the increase in my strength is proportional to my ability in that aspect? '

Feeling those unblemished gazes, Su Lie could only rub his nose and mutter to himself from the bottom of his heart.

No matter where he was, there was no lack of flies … The fly was a very great creature. Since ancient times, it had been thriving for hundreds of millions or even billions of years, and its ability to survive was even greater than some of the ancient beasts.

Some people even got infected by the properties of the fly … Slowly approaching Luo Xiaoyu, Su Lie was about to say something.

He felt a big hand on his shoulder.

The hand slowly exerted force, causing his shoulder to ache.

I'm sorry, I want to form an alliance with this young mistress. I wonder if you can make way for me.

Before Su Lie could turn around, a gentle voice resounded in his ears.

The smile on Luo Xiaoyu's face turned into disgust.

It seemed like she was disturbed by these things when she came here early in the morning.

Su Lie slowly turned around and smiled at the man in front of him. He said softly, The alliance also needs to be done first, right? May I know your strength?

Fifth level of the Natal Opening Realm.

When he turned around, Su Lie was finally able to clearly see the man's appearance. His face was covered with oil and powder, and his face was a little pale to the point of being terrifying.

The figure was quite muscular.

If it was a muscular man, he might still be of some interest to the girl.

However, with all the muscles in his body paired with this extremely asymmetrical adonis, it only gave people a single feeling — disgust.

Like a fly.

As if afraid that Su Lie would not believe his own strength, the man with the greasy hair slowly released his Qi.

Feeling the pressure that assaulted his face, Su Lie only looked at him with a smile, not moved in the slightest.

Seeing Su Lie not moving, the fat man was obviously surprised, but he quickly reacted and maintained his gentleman demeanor: Could you please step aside? As long as you take a step back, nothing will happen to you.

I'm sorry, but I also want to form an alliance with this lady. Would you agree to let her decide for herself?

Facing such senseless provocation, Su Lie could only let out a chuckle.

He shifted his gaze to Luo Xiaoyu and said.

F * ck off.

A simple word slowly came out from the corner of Luo Xiaoyu's mouth.

Just as the greasy head man wanted to laugh at Su Lie's overestimation of his strength, he realized that Luo Xiaoyu's hand was actually pointing at him.

Furthermore, what was pointed out was not his index finger, but his middle finger.

Su Lie could only bitterly smile twice and pretend that he didn't see the damage done to his image by Luo Xiaoyu.

You told me to scram?

Understanding the meaning behind Luo Xiaoyu's words, the man's face instantly turned ashen.

The sounds of ridicule slowly echoed in his ears.

I'm sorry, this is her choice. Please respect her.

Su Lie also laughed coldly. Then, he made an inviting gesture: Goodbye.

You!

With regards to that, the man could only clench his teeth and coldly said: Have you ever heard of the Beiyuan Domain's Gongsun family? I am the second son of the Gongsun Clan, Gongsun Yue.

Gongsun family? I've never heard of it.

Facing this kind of questioning, Su Lie shook his head rather obediently.

He had been in Qing Yang City for more than ten years, but he had never come out. He had never heard of this Gongsun Clan before.

What?! It's someone from the Gongsun family!

This kid actually doesn't recognize the Gongsun family. That's one of the top clans in the Northern Region.

Shh, I think he did it on purpose. Let's just watch the show.

Su Lie had just finished answering when the surrounding crowd of people sighed.

He turned a deaf ear to such sighs.

Even the Imperial Prince himself had been killed, so how could he be afraid of this Gongsun family?

Hehe, regardless of whether you have heard of it or not, you must leave this lady now. With your trash strength in the Third level of the Natal Opening Realm, you are not even worthy to be in her squad!

Upon seeing that Su Lie was currently unaffected by the oil and salt, Gongsun Yue immediately laughed in extreme anger.

The Essence Qi in his hands surged as he struck out with his palm.

If you don't follow your own heart, you must make a move in public. With regards to trash like you, I'm afraid no one will be willing to be with you!"

Luo Xiaoyu's face turned cold as she saw Gongsun Yue take action.

He stretched out his right hand and shook it as the Pure Spirit Sword flew out of his sleeve, as he said in a stern voice.

Seeing the palm coming at him, Su Lie was slightly shocked from the bottom of his heart.

The other side had clearly planned on sneaking an attack.

His hands formed a seal, and he suddenly took two or three steps back.

Yuan Qi circulated around his Dantian once before being infected by the ice attribute. After that, it fiercely collided with Gongsun Yue's palm and collided with it.

Bang bang!

The two palms collided with a groan. Both of them retreated a few steps!

Su Lie retreated three steps, while Gongsun Yue retreated five steps before barely managing to stabilize his body.

The first time they had met, even though the enemy had ambushed them, they still suffered a loss!

When they thought of the difference in strength between the two of them, the surrounding crowd of onlookers immediately became somewhat astonished.

Hehe, if you want to make a move, I will accompany you. It's not a bad idea to get rid of an opponent before the competition starts."

The cold air that had invaded Gongsun Yue's right hand had already caused him to feel a bit numb.

Under the circulation of his Essence, although it was slightly alleviated, it was unable to return to normal for a short period of time.

What cold Qi is this? How could it be so tyrannical?

He was secretly surprised, but his face remained calm and refused to give in.

However, he did not continue to go forward to provoke Su Lie. Instead, he stood where he was and did not move.

Su Lie stopped and turned around to stop Luo Xiaoyu who was about to step forward. He shook his head and said: There's no need to help this fly. It's good enough for me.

Su Lie's attack did not end up in a disadvantageous position. Luo Xiaoyu slowly retracted her sword.

He had regained his composure.

Hehe, you even dare to touch the people from the Gongsun Aristocrat Clan of Beiyuan Domain. I'm afraid you won't be able to continue living!

Gongsun Guang sneered coldly. He swept his eyes over the crowd and waved his hand.

Suddenly, two more people rushed out from the crowd, their strengths were both Fourth level of the Natal Opening Realm s.

After the two of them came out, they looked at Su Lie with the same murderous look.

Even when he looked at Luo Xiaoyu, his gaze did not change much.

Not only do you bully the young with your strength, you bully the young with your strength! He'd cultivated his cultivation to the level of having face. Why do you think the people of the Beiyuan Domain have the face to meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Yuan Region?

Seeing that the other two people had come out, Su Lie's face still had the same sneering expression without any change.

Go, kill him!

Gongsun sneered coldly as he chopped down with his right hand, making a beheading motion.

The two figures flashed, and in between the cold light, they were already charging towards Su Lie with killing intent.

Stop! If you dare to take action again, all of you will be disqualified!

Su Lie retreated slightly. Just as the two attacks were about to land on Su Lie's body!

A voice abruptly interrupted their movements.

It's the Tianyuan Sect's Elder in charge!

The Essence in his hand dissipated and Su Lie also looked towards the crowd.

At that moment, the figure of a middle-aged man slowly walked out.

He probed with his Spiritual Sense, but it was like the mud on the sea, and there was no response.

The strength contained within this body far exceeded his imagination.

Astral Yuan Stage!

It was unknown who shouted that out from the crowd, but the surrounding people immediately became restless.

Supreme Force Origin Stage!

This was the realm that they had been dreaming for a long time.

While they were waiting, everyone was not allowed to make a move. If you have any grudges, wait for the competition to begin in the evening. Then, go to the depths of the mountain and find a place with no one to settle them."

His gaze moved back and forth between Su Lie and Gongsun Yue, and the middle-aged man said slowly: At that time, you can do whatever you want whether you die or live.

With the man in charge of the Tianyuan Sect warning them, no one dared to make a move anymore.

Gongsun Yue's gaze became cold as he fiercely said, If I meet you in the selection, I'll be the first one to kill you!

Anytime.

Ye Zichen waved his hand and replied impatiently.

Su Lie turned around and pulled Luo Xiaoyu away.

He only lowered his hand after walking out of the circle and said helplessly, It seems that I really need to find a veil to cover your face. Otherwise, these flies would never be able to get rid of you.

After receiving the inheritance of the ancestor of the Luo Family, Luo Xiaoyu had lost her immaturity and gained an additional hint of maturity in the short span of half a year.

At first glance, it was hard to imagine that this was a sixteen year old girl, but she did not seem out of place. Instead, she was even more beautiful.

Seeing this appearance, Su Lie finally slowly shifted his gaze away.

Enduring the fire in his lower abdomen, he rubbed his temples as the corner of his mouth formed an arc.

CHAPTER 104 - TEMPORARY TEAM

The two of them were both silent. After a while, Su Lie coughed twice and said slowly: It is already past noon, Su Yan should have also finished levelling and come to this place. There's a sea of people here, so we have to find him as soon as possible.

There were a few thousand people participating in the second round, and even searching would require a bit of effort.

Furthermore, according to the man in charge of the Tianyuan Sect, the selection should start at dusk, and not tomorrow.

Fortunately, due to the activation of the third attribute, Su Lie had already recovered to his peak condition.

Only, if he did not find Su Yan by the evening, if the competition had begun, with his First level of the Natal Opening Realm, he would have become the first cannon fodder … As long as they were united, they could have the last laugh!

In this competition, strength, luck, time, and opportunity were all indispensable.

He could not choose the things that he could not grasp. All he could do was to use all his strength to increase the chips in his hands … Luo Xiaoyu nodded in agreement. The two of them immediately began searching the crowd.

However, the crowd was simply too large. After searching for half an hour, they still could not find anything.

If this continues, the chances of coincidences are too small …

Withdrawing his consciousness, Su Lie slowly let out a sigh.

Although her spiritual sense was slightly stronger than people of the same level, it was not to the extent that it could cover the entire crowd.

In addition, none of the people around him were mortals, which to a certain extent affected the spread of his divine sense.

This brother.

He slightly stopped moving and heard a shout from behind him.

However, it was not Su Yan's voice. Turning his head, he discovered that a man of a similar age was looking at him.

What is it?

He frowned and said.

The young man smiled lightly, extended a hand, and introduced himself: "I am Liu Pu, and have seen the conflict between you and Gongsun Yue before. I want to invite you to join my team.

Su Lie frowned and was about to refuse.

However, Liu Pu continued, Don't be in such a hurry to refuse, our team is filled with rogue cultivators that have come from all over the place. This time, we just want to form a team in the competition. At least, we have one more chance to protect each other.

Self-defense …

Hearing that there were actually commoner competitors in the group, Su Lie swallowed the words of rejection that just reached his mouth.

Chuckling, he said slowly, How many people are there in your team? How strong are you?

There are currently four people. Two are at the Third level of the Natal Opening Realm and two are at the Fourth level of the Natal Opening Realm.

Liu Pu laughed, then released his Spirit Qi, but it was not sharp, obviously showing no enmity.

He himself was an existence of the Fourth level of the Natal Opening Realm, and at that, he was at the peak of the Fourth level of the Natal Opening Realm.

In this competition, although this strength wasn't considered top of the pack, it was still pretty good. At least it wouldn't be the first group to be eliminated.

Su Lie slowly pondered for a moment, then said: It's fine if you want me to join, but I have two conditions.

What is the condition? Please speak. If it does not harm our respective interests, I can make the decision.

Seeing that Su Lie had let go, Liu Pu was immediately overjoyed.

Although Su Lie's strength was only that of the Third level of the Natal Opening Realm, to be able to fight evenly with Gongsun Jianyun, his fighting strength had to be far beyond what it could be on the surface.

One, I have two companions. One of them is the woman you just met, Second level of the Natal Opening Realm. One of them just broke through to the Natal Opening Realm yesterday, so I want these two to join me.

Su Lie looked at Liu Pu and said slowly, I can guarantee that they will not have any rebellious thoughts and will not need to be on guard.

You just broke through to the Natal Opening Realm yesterday?

Hearing Su Lie's words, Liu Pu was shocked.

But after a moment of hesitation, he agreed: Sure, that's not a problem. Regardless of strength, as long as you are a commoner, you can join."

Second, I need you to help me find a person.

Seeing that Liu Pu had agreed to his conditions, Su Lie heaved a sigh of relief.

A bitter smile appeared on his face as he explained his difficult situation.

The opposing side had a total of four people. Including Luo Xiaoyu and himself, there were a total of six people!

At least it was better for the six of them to search together than to blindly search for something.

As for his impressions, that was not a problem. Su Lie carried a video stone with him, and one of the pieces contained Su Yan's appearance.

After waiting for them to take a look and memorize it, he would naturally be able to help them find it.

Liu Pu was slightly dumbfounded, but finding someone was a small matter, so it was naturally not difficult.

Seeing that both conditions had been agreed by the other party, Su Lie's heart was filled with joy.

After following Liu Pu through the crowd, he finally arrived in front of a vendor's stall.

This booth wasn't large, but there were three other people gathered there. It was clear that they were the other members of the team.

Let me introduce you. This is Liu Tian, Liu Yong, Mo Xinger.

Su Lie slowly stood up and Liu Pu instantly introduced him.

In the end, he gave a slight nod of respect to the three of them. Su Lie, you've all met before during the conflict.

Su Lie stretched out his hand and shook hands with them one by one.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly observed these people.

Among these three people, Liu Tian and Liu Yong were clearly brothers.

And the only Fourth level of the Natal Opening Realm other than Liu Pu, was actually a woman, Mo Xinger.

Mo Xinger was dressed in tight clothes, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.

She appeared to be in her early twenties, had short hair and a pretty face, which made her look quite cute.

However, Luo Xiaoyu was still slightly inferior to her.

Seeing Su Lie's gaze stopped on herself, Mo Xinger let out a cold snort, and only then did Su Lie come back to her senses.

With an embarrassed smile, Su Lie shifted his gaze and slowly spoke of the matter of finding the person.

The three of them nodded slightly. Then, he fumbled in his Cosmic Bag for a while and took out the Image Stone.

It played Su Lie's influence.

After observing for a while, Mo Xinger suddenly said: Wait, I have seen this person before.

Hmm?

Hearing this, Su Lie hurriedly said, Where have I seen it, and when?

At noon, when the students are being recruited in the city center.

Mo Xinger nodded, and said slowly: Where is he, he seems to have started a conflict with someone else, and was taken away by the people from the Tianyuan Sect. I don't know if he has been disqualified, but if he doesn't have it, I'm afraid we'll be able to find him in the Tianyuan Sect's disciple camp.

Mo Xinger said casually. After all, this had nothing to do with him.

Su Lie, on the other hand, was covered in cold sweat. He had started a conflict with Gongsun Yue earlier and was well aware of the strict rules of the Tianyuan Sect.

If Su Yan were to clash with others, he might really be disqualified.

Furthermore, with Su Yan's strength, it was extremely likely that he would be the one to be injured if he were to clash with others.

At that time, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.

Let's go, we are going to the encampment of the disciples of Tianyuan Sect!

Since he had discovered news of Su Yan, Su Lie did not delay any longer and directly pulled Mo Xinger and prepared to leave.

Liu Pu, however, hurriedly took a step forward, stopped him, and said slowly: You can't! Not just anyone can enter the Tianyuan Sect's disciple camp, unless they are originally from the Tianyuan Sect, or have special needs to be in charge of the encampment, and have some special identity.

Does an apothecary count as special status?

Liu Pu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: Of course it counts, pill refiners are people who receive extreme attention, even in the Tianyuan Sect.

Then come with me.

Su Lie casually took out the badge that he had received from the Apothecary Guild of Sky Origin City yesterday, waved it in front of Liu Pu's eyes, and then left.

Liu Pu nodded, dragged the other three along and followed.

Wait, are you an apothecary?

After walking only a few steps, he immediately reacted and said in astonishment.

Su Lie's expression was indifferent as he silently nodded his head.

The five of them went to the rendezvous point they had agreed upon with Luo Xiaoyu and made a meeting with her. After giving a brief explanation of the situation, they rushed over to the encampment of the Tianyuan Sect's disciples.

The encampment for the disciples of the Tianyuan Sect was at the foot of the mountain. As they waited for dusk to fall, they would start the second round of selection from the north side of the encampment.

After seven days, if one could pass through these mountains and reach Tianyuan Sect, they would be accepted as a disciple. From then on, their status would be respected and they would become supreme beings.

The encampment wasn't far away, and they arrived shortly.

Su Lie's expression was cold and fierce, he directly walked in front of them and was immediately stopped by two Tianyuan Sect disciples. In Tianyuan Sect, if you take another step, you will be killed without question! "

He expressionlessly took out his Alchemist Insignia and the two of them made way for him. Since you are someone from the Apothecary Guild of Tianyuan City, then you are a friend of the Tianyuan Sect. You can enter, but only two people can be brought in by the people behind you."

There's such a rule?

Su Lie frowned and asked.

Since they had already formed a team, it would be inappropriate for them to be separated at this moment.

Even the disciples of the Tianyuan Sect s cannot bring others into the cultivation grounds of the Tianyuan Sect. Only an apothecary with a high status would have such a privilege."

Seeing Su Lie's question, the Tianyuan Sect disciple laughed bitterly, not because Su Lie only had the Third level of the Natal Opening Realm, but also because of his strength. She said with contempt, This is already a privilege, if I let you in, I'm afraid we won't even have our cultivation resources this month.

Since the other party had already spoken up to this point, Su Lie felt too embarrassed to continue speaking.

Nodding his head, he turned around and said: Luo Xiaoyu, Mo Xinger, the two of you follow me in.

Mo Xinger probably knew what was going on since she had seen Su Lie earlier.

With regards to Su Lie's arrangement, Liu Pu and the other two did not have much of an objection.

Su Lie was an alchemist. His value was already above his.

Furthermore, if he went, he wouldn't be able to help.

After entering the Tianyuan Sect encampment, Su Lie walked towards the route that the previous person had indicated.

After a while, they saw Su Yan's figure, as expected, he was here!

And in front of Su Yan, there were two other young men who were looking at him arrogantly, filled with disdain.

CHAPTER 105 - ONE ON ONE

What's going on?

Su Lie said coldly, without fear, as he directly walked in front of Su Yan.

He probed it with his divine sense, but in his heart, he was shocked.

The strength of these two people should be around the Fifth level of the Natal Opening Realm!

He was not surprised by this, but that in a short half day, he had actually seen three strong Natal Opening Realm s and as many as a few Fourth level of the Natal Opening Realm s.

This kind of strength could not be considered top!

However, up till now, Su Lie could only kill one Sixth level of the Natal Opening Realm expert at most. Facing an Seventh level of the Natal Opening Realm expert, he simply did not have a one hundred percent chance of killing them.

Moreover, if he fought a powerhouse of this level, he would have to use his full strength!

The time taken for him to recover from a full-power battle was also of little value.

And within these thousands of people, the Seventh level of the Natal Opening Realm, and even the Eighth level of the Natal Opening Realm, might even exist.

He shook his head and tossed these thoughts to the back of his mind.

Su Lie laughed coldly, looked at the two people, and said coldly: Who are you?

I would like to ask who you are?

The two of them also discovered Su Lie, although they were a little surprised about how Su Lie had entered.

However, when they saw Su Lie only had the strength of Third level of the Natal Opening Realm, they immediately sneered: His accomplices?

He pointed at Su Yan and the latter was instantly enraged. He wanted to continue charging towards him but was stopped by Luo Xiaoyu, who calmed his down a little.

Earlier, when these three people openly attacked us at the student recruitment area, it was already in violation of our Tianyuan Sect's rules. According to the rules, they should be disqualified! However, right now, I have given them a chance.

A rather lazy voice came from the house.

Oh.

He knew that she was an expert from the Tianyuan Sect, hence he did not dare slight her, only saying slowly: What chance?

Let the three of them fight here, and the victor will be able to continue participating. And if he lost, he would be kicked out of the qualification. Of course, I will act at the most crucial moment to preserve their names.

Upon hearing these words, even if Su Lie had already calmed down, a hint of rage still surged up within him.

What kind of opportunity was this?

To let one person, who had just broken through the Natal Opening Realm, fight against two strong experts?

Hehe, don't be angry. This kid has a secret skill that can raise his cultivation by a terrifying amount in a short period of time. Although he can't kill the two of them, he's heavily injured enough to cause them to lose their fighting strength."

The voice in the room continued to laugh, Having lost the ability to fight, and being unable to recover in a short period of time, naturally, it is equivalent to having lost the right to participate in the competition. That's why I came up with this method, to see what kind of method this person who dares to challenge the Fifth level of the Natal Opening Realm with his early stage Natal Opening Realm has.

Su Lie looked towards Su Yan with suspicion. The latter nodded silently and said: Although the increase in cultivation level found in the clan warehouse is terrifyingly excessively high, no one can afford the side effects that you would suffer.

Taking a deep breath, Su Lie forcefully suppressed his anger. He knew that he could not afford to offend the person in the room.

It was those casual words that had actually put him under a lot of pressure?

If you want to see what I can do, I can satisfy you.

Su Lie took in a deep breath and sneered at the two. He said coldly: How about I challenge one of you two? If I lose, I'll commit suicide in public.

The two people were silent for a moment. Then, the person in the room suddenly laughed: Sure, let's change the rules then. You can pick any one of them.

How arrogant!

At first, the two were shocked, but when they thought about Su Lie's strength, and how he had an impetuous Qi, it was obvious that he had just broken through, and immediately agreed: Since you want to court death, then you can't blame the two of us.

Hur hur, my words will naturally not change.

Looking at the color of the sky, the corner of Su Lie's mouth slowly formed an arc: Which one of you will go first? It's getting late. Let's finish this battle quickly before nightfall."

Too arrogant!

When these words came out, even the few Tianyuan Sect disciples who were spectating at the side could not bear to watch any longer.

As he looked at Su Lie's expression, it became even more strange.

Su Lie had just broken through to the Third level of the Natal Opening Realm and even activated the ice attribute.

If he could not even beat a Fifth level of the Natal Opening Realm Ranker, wouldn't he be retreating as he lived?

After breaking through to a new level, he desperately needed someone strong to train with.

Gongsun Yue couldn't satisfy him, so the two people before him were a good choice.

I'll go. Watch as I tear him apart.

One of the two finally could not take it anymore and coldly said: Haha, if even the juniors of the Third level of the Natal Opening Realm are unable to handle it, then I, Pei Feng, will write my name upside down.

It's useless to shoot your mouth off.

Su Lie grinned and did not conceal his killing intent in the slightest: Do it!

Swish!

Before his voice faded away, his body flashed and he disappeared from where he stood!

In the next second, a faint piercing sound came out, the huge wind pierced Pei Feng's face, causing him to feel pain.

Good job!

Pei Feng was not scared and quickly reacted.

With a loud roar, Yuan Power swirled on his fist before it transformed into a roar as it viciously smashed forward.

RUU!

The two fists collided with each other and Su Lie's figure instantly stood out!

He flew in a circle in the air with a bewildered look in his eyes.

He thought that his strength could already be considered peerless, even if it was Lu Jiu against him, he would still struggle a little.

However, just when she was facing this Pei Feng, her right fist was actually slightly red and swollen, and was feeling a burst of pain.

What great power.

If he did not have the upper hand in terms of strength, Su Lie no longer dared to be careless.

His hand formed a seal and instantly entered the berserk state.

After colliding with Su Lie's fist, Pei Feng was clearly shocked as well. His physical strength was extremely terrifying, and under Su Lie's punch, he had to retreat a full three steps before the force could dissipate.

With a cold gaze, he waved his hand and a yellow lance appeared in his hand.

So he's an earth attribute cultivator. No wonder his strength is so great.

Seeing the earthy yellow glow at the tip of the spear, Su Lie revealed a look of understanding.

He has the body of a five soul, so theoretically, he can restrain the majority of attributes!

But up until now, he had not awakened his wind attribute, so he did not have the advantage against Pei Feng.

Competing in strength with someone of the earth attribute, what a foolish action.

With a sneer, Pei Feng suddenly clasped his hands together, and the tip of his spear suddenly shone with a ray of light, fiercely striking the ground.

Earth Thrust!

Startled, the Qiankun Pen in Su Lie's body trembled and suddenly pointed at his feet!

Stepping onto the Void Walk, he instantly turned around and explosively retreated.

His right hand summoned out the Qiankun Pen and smashed down fiercely.

RUU!

The Qiankun Pen crashed to the ground, causing the ground to crack and dust to fly into the air.

However, at the place where the ground was shattered, a huge spike suddenly shot out, extending three meters above the ground.

What a terrifying method!

Mo Xinger suddenly cried out in alarm from the shock.

He pulled Luo Xiaoyu's hand and indicated that if Su Lie was not his match, he should immediately rescue him.

In regards to Mo Xinger's nervousness, Luo Xiaoyu appeared extremely indifferent.
