Chapter 20
When Chen Sheng came back to find Wen Ziling, Wen Ziling was already with Mu Qingluan.
He didn't care about Mu Qingluan who rejected his junior sister, grabbed Wen Ziling and asked, "Why did you admit defeat?"
Chen Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Mu Qingluan's rejection of Mei Qintao. It's normal to refuse if she doesn't like it. As long as Mu Qingluan didn't do any substantial harm to Mei Qintao, Chen Sheng wouldn't bother this matter.
Even he himself felt that with Mei Qintao's personality, now was not the time to have someone he liked.
It's fine to say no.
Chen Sheng is now at a competitive age, and he is more concerned about his own cultivation and finding a companion who can advance with him.
His requirements are not low, at least that person has to be around his age, with similar strength and talent, and be appreciated by him.
But he felt that Wen Ziling had achieved everything, and that friendship between men sometimes develops faster than a fight, so when he saw Wen Ziling defeating Sun Chengping, he wanted to compete with him.
He had enough patience to wait for Wen Ziling to win until the final with him.
But Wen Ziling actually surrendered to Mei Qintao!
Wen Ziling obviously didn't expect that Chen Sheng would still care about this. After all, in his previous life, he didn't have much contact with Chen Sheng in the early stage because he didn't accept Sun Chengping's challenge.Even in the script, it only mentioned the trajectory of his Wubi this time, and it didn't mention that Chen Sheng would come to ask such a question.
He only paused before answering.
"I couldn't beat her."
Even if he could win against Mei Qintao, Wen Ziling was only [-]% sure, and it was not worth fighting for both sides.
Chen Sheng was choked by his words. It is true that Wen Ziling's cultivation level is not as good as that of Mei Qintao, and his cultivation time is also very short. Maybe he would not be able to win against Mei Qintao who was raised by the family.
No matter how much Chen Sheng felt that Wen Ziling could win, this analysis showed that he really couldn't win against Mei Qintao, and admitting defeat should also contain a hint of thinking that he shouldn't be too hard on girls.
Feeling that he was being unreasonable, Chen Sheng then set his sights on Mu Qingluan.
"Brother Pastor, can you be sure to win the first place?"
Mu Qingluan's age and strength allowed Chen Sheng to call out senior brother willingly.
Wen Ziling and Mu Qingluan have become the focus of attention. Needless to say, Wen Ziling's side, Mu Qingluan's side Chen Sheng pays more attention.
His goal was clear from the very beginning, to win to the end in the martial arts competition in the foundation building field, and then challenge the final winner in the Jin Danqi martial arts competition field.
So Mu Qingluan is also his target.
As far as he knew, those brothers who fought against Mu Qingluan were defeated very quickly by him.So far no one has been able to discover Mu Qingluan's full strength, just like a monster.
It was this kind of person that made Chen Sheng even more excited.
"Of course I will win." Mu Qingluan replied affirmatively, not to mention that these people lost very quickly in his hands, this is also the path he should have taken.
Qi Xiao could have been ranked among the top disciples of the Xuanli Sect's Golden Core Stage, and the people who fought against him after that were nothing to Mu Qingluan.
Now there are only three people left at the end of the comparison, namely Mu Qingluan, Lu Xiao and Zhou Lufei.
The other two people are from Xuan Ye Mountain, and the other is from Buxiao Mountain.
The only Jindanqi disciple under He Zejun's sect is Leshi, she lost to Zhou Lufei, but she didn't have the chance to compete with Mu Qingluan.Of course, Le Shi, who is also not too competitive, doesn't have much obsession with this matter, and she is happy to watch them fight fiercely in the audience.
Only three people left in the end means that one person will have a bye, and the winner will fight him after the other two decide the winner.
The bye is determined by drawing lots. As the son of luck, Mu Qingluan naturally wants to show himself and defeat the two in one fell swoop.It's definitely not his turn to have a bye.
No, Mu Qingluan will face Lu Xiao in the next round, after defeating Lu Xiao, he will face Zhou Lufei.
Chen Sheng obviously also heard the news, and seeing Mu Qingluan's affirmative answer, he said, "If Brother Pastor wins the first place, I will definitely come to ask for advice."
Of course, Lu Xiao and Zhou Lufei lost to Mu Qingluan in turn in the end, there is no doubt about it.
Lu Xiao was fine, he had already prepared himself mentally so he regarded it as a trial, but Zhou Lufei couldn't get over this hurdle because of this failure, and he stayed at the peak of the Golden Core Stage ever since.
Sad to say, he originally planned to continue this martial arts competition to attack Yuanying, but in the end he couldn't go any further.Sometimes the world of cultivating immortals is so cruel. Thinking about Wen Ziling's last life, at least she stayed in Yuanying, so she could stay young forever.
This incident actually aroused Bu Xiaoshan's dissatisfaction with Mu Qingluan, except Qi Xiao who was convinced that he could lose, there were also a group of people who came here to trouble Mu Qingluan.
Of course, the people of Buxiao Mountain and Jianxiu are a bit disgusted, but in the past, there were more sword cultivators from Buxiao Mountain and Tianmai Mountain, and then it became Buxiao Mountain and Xuanye Mountain. up.
Thinking of the future scene, Wen Ziling inevitably felt a little helpless, because people in Buxiaoshan saw that he was also a sword cultivator, and I am afraid that more and more people would come to learn from each other in the future.
After all, Buxiao Mountain is a place where the stronger one is, the more one likes challenges.
He can only comfort himself that this is something that he needs to think about later, and it is too early to worry about it now.
Finally, there is no need to compete in martial arts by himself, and on the day when Mu Qingluan and Lu Xiao compete in martial arts, Wen Ziling can directly follow Mu Qingluan into the arena.
It turned out that there was no surprise. Lu Xiao, who lost, was also calm, and stepped off the stage after bowing with his sword in his arms, without the slightest bit of resignation on his face.
He could feel that Mu Qingluan seemed to be guiding him somewhat.Of course, being taught by someone whose cultivation level is lower than his own may be somewhat shameful to some people, but Lu Xiao doesn't think so, because he knows that Mu Qingluan has already walked a long way ahead of him.
Compared with Jianxin, Lu Xiao is not as good as Xu Zhiyang, but Xu Zhiyang did not lose to Lu Xiao in this martial arts competition, but to Zhou Lufei.
In the absence of Mu Qingluan, Zhou Lufei was the ceiling of Xuanli Zong Jindan period. Although it took a lot of effort for him to win Xu Zhiyang, it would not make him exhaust all means. Lu Xiao and Xu Zhiyang were not much different in strength, so Zhou Lufei always felt that he It can beat Mu Qingluan.
It was also this blind self-confidence that kept him from moving forward.
Jin Danqi's martial arts competition ended with Mu Qingluan's victory, and he had no intention of challenging upwards.
The foundation building field also ended with Chen Sheng's victory. As for Yuanying, it was eventually taken away by the Buxuan people.
Of course, many people said that this was because Lu Hui, He Zejun's eldest disciple, was retreating to attack the God of Transformation, but they all said that Lu Hui had already stepped on half of his foot to the God of Evolution, and he was not in the Nascent Soul stage.
Xuanlizong's martial arts competition only goes up to Yuanying, and there are actually few people going up.Some of Xuanlizong's disciples would choose to leave when they reached the Nascent Soul, either to return to the family or to go out for a living. After the transformation stage, a group of such people would leave, and the number was getting smaller and smaller.
Those who are still willing to stay in Xuanlizong when Huashen is reached are probably the ones who decide to serve Xuanlizong.
Of course, those who go abroad are always disciples of Xuan Lizong, but they seldom stay in the sect, and they will come back from time to time.
With fewer people, this martial arts competition is of course incomparable.
Whether it is Tianmai Mountain, Buxiao Mountain or Xuanye Mountain, the disciples all hope to break out of their own world, except for the disciples of one mountain.
That is Qingtai Mountain.
Qingtai Mountain can be said to have formed an extreme contrast with Buxiao Mountain. Although Buxiao Mountain doesn't like sword cultivators, they like to fight them heartily.For the people in Qingtai Mountain, they couldn't bring up the idea of fighting.
It's not because the disciples of Mount Qingtai are too weak, on the contrary, the disciples of Mount Qingtai can be said to be the most terrifying of Xuan Lizong.
Qingtai Mountain is the master of medicine, and the number of female disciples is two-thirds of the number of female disciples in the entire Xuanli Sect.
After all, Jianxiu is a bit sassy, but the male pharmacist is a little face in the eyes of people in Buxiaoshan, but the other party can smile and make you unable to move, and they have to go there to ask for medicine when they are injured.
Therefore, people who are not in the mountains will never express these thoughts directly to the people in Qingtai Mountain, and even have to support them.Of course, it's not just the people who don't rush to the mountain. As the rear support of Xuan Lizong, the existence of Qingtai Mountain is extremely important, and no one will deliberately offend anyone in Qingtai Mountain.
The disciples of Qingtai Mountain did not participate in this martial arts competition, because it was originally different from the martial arts competition mechanism in other mountains of Xuan Lizong.
Therefore, the Qingtai Mountain competition is only held on its own mountain, using Qingtai Mountain's competition system, called the medicine competition.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the disciples of Qingtai Mountain are not good at fighting, on the contrary, they are more capable of killing people invisible. The medicine made is somewhat poisonous, and if it encounters some, it will be a disaster.
It is precisely because of this that the disciples of Qingtai Mountain do not compete with the disciples of other mountains. In a sense, it is for the benefit of both parties, and there is no distinction between strong and weak.
But also because it is a part of the Xuanli Sect, the medicine competition in Qingtai Mountain will start after the martial arts competition is over, and it will be open to the public, so that people from other mountains can visit it.
This is also the part of the medicine competition, which is different from the one-on-one rules of the martial arts competition, they are usually compared together.
The first round of test questions over the years is "selling medicine", so every disciple of Qingtai Mountain will make a batch of medicines that they are good at and sell them outside, and the winner will be judged by the amount of money they sell .
Regardless of cultivation level, regardless of one's own strength, it is only better than the means of medicine.
Don't look at it as if it can improve your grades, but at a deeper level, you are accumulating "reputation". This is an essential practice for pharmacists, and it exercises the heart.
In the world of cultivating immortals, reputation is also very important.
Therefore, no pharmacist will take such a risk to improve his own grades, but will study more and more on whether his medicine is good or not.
After Mu Qingluan had won against Zhou Lufei, and after he had competed with Chen Sheng, Wen Ziling and him agreed to come here.
Qingtai Mountain Wen Ziling seldom came. After so many lives, he was the only one who visited this grand medicine competition in his last life.Before the start of the medicine competition in Qingtai Mountain, every disciple of Xuanlizong could get three copper coins made of special materials.
The world of cultivating immortals uses spirit stones as the medium of exchange, but during the medicine competition in Qingtai Mountain, copper coins were used as the medium of exchange.
One copper coin is equal to 100 yuan of spirit stones, and the initial three copper coins are equivalent to 300 yuan of spirit stones.Copper coins can be exchanged for medicine, and copper coins can also be bought with spirit stones.
The conversion of this value can only be used in Qingtai Mountain, and the main purpose is just better statistics.Whoever has the most copper coins at the end is the final winner of this round.
The medicinal materials used in pharmaceuticals are all valuable, and pharmacists will price the medicines they make.
The price of good effect is high, and the price of poor effect is low.So some people rely on quality, and some people rely on quantity.
Wen Ziling knew of a very famous pharmacist who sold a bottle of medicine for ten copper coins, that is, one thousand spirit stones.It might be unbelievable just looking at it this way, but what is even more unbelievable is that his medicine was robbed within half an hour.
The reason is simple, the effect of the medicine is really good.And that pharmacist is already famous, let alone a thousand spirit stones, even if he doubles it, he may not be able to buy his medicine. It can be said to be a great opportunity to snatch it during the medicine competition.
Wen Ziling weighed the three copper coins in his hand. Before coming to Qingtai Mountain, he first recalled what he saw in Qingtai Mountain in his last life, and then watched the scene in the script.
In the script, he took the initiative to make friends with Mu Qingluan. Naturally, he bought the medicine for the Qingtai Yam Competition this time, and during this period, Wen Ziling and Mu Qingluan only exchanged copper coins for three things.
Wen Ziling, who went to Xuanlizong, became a pauper since he was a young master. It's not that there are no such things as Lingshi, at least in this respect, Wu Huajun is still generous. He once gave Wen Ziling and Mu Qingluan a pack of Lingshi.
But only one pack.
Although there are a lot of them, they should be used sparingly.So in the previous life, Wen Ziling only bought some healing medicines that were not of good quality when he came here, and he didn't touch the other ones that looked powerful and expensive.
But Wen Ziling, who had read the script, found that the purchase of medicine this time was still very important.For example, the three things he bought played a big role in the future.
This included the ten copper coins for a bottle of medicine, and it was a bottle for him and Mu Qingluan.
Now he is not worried about the problem of spirit stones, because before coming here, Mu Qingluan, who knew the nature of the medicine ratio, went to Wu Huajun, and Wu Huajun gave him another bag of spirit stones, and he brought them to him again. Wen Ziling.
Mu Qingluan said that it was up to him to handle the Lingshi, and Wen Ziling who had ideas didn't shirk it, so now he has become a rich man again.
As soon as Wen Ziling and Mu Qingluan arrived at Qingtai Mountain, they went to exchange spirit stones for copper coins.
In the eyes of most experienced people, this is not advisable, because once the Lingshi is converted into copper coins, it cannot be changed again, so many people will not change too much at once when exchanging, because the copper coins will be lost in the second year. It will be changed, which means it cannot be used again.
Therefore, the best way is to first understand the approximate pricing of the drugs sold in this drug competition, and then exchange for copper coins is the best.
The only ones who came to Qingtai Mountain from Xuanye Mountain were Mu Qingluan and Wen Ziling. It can be said that everyone came except Wang Xian.It's just that He Li and Luo Qing are in the same group, and Zhou Mingyi and Lu Xiao, who intend to get along with them, came with Mu Qingluan, Wen Ziling and the others.
Seeing that Wen Ziling exchanged copper coins as soon as he arrived, Zhou Mingyi reminded him aloud.
Along the way, he also chatted with the two about Qingtai Mountain and the medicine ratio system, thinking that he knew too much about Qingtai Mountain's medicine ratio and there was no reason why it would not work, so he also listened to their introduction.
Wen Ziling would ask some questions during the period, but Mu Qingluan was really silent all the way to the end. Although he nodded and agreed to come with Zhou Mingyi and the others, the aura in his body that wanted Zhou Mingyi and the others to leave was gone. disappeared.
When he arrived at the destination, he looked at Zhou Mingyi and the others, as if saying, "You can leave now."
"It's okay." Wen Ziling knew what he wanted to buy, and exchanged 46 copper coins without hesitation.
Of course, half of them belonged to Mu Qingluan.
Counting the three copper coins that were allocated at the beginning, the two had 26 copper coins each.
Zhou Mingyi didn't say any more, just said "Let's go in and have a look", and walked in with Lu Xiao.
"Senior Brother, don't you like Senior Brother Zhou?" Wen Ziling asked Mu Qingluan curiously.
"no"
He has no reason to hate Zhou Mingyi, it's just that he doesn't want Zhou Mingyi to be around at this moment.
Wen Ziling also felt that he had no reason to dislike Zhou Mingyi, and even based on the script, he and Zhou Mingyi still cooperated in the later period, so the relationship should be good.
He didn't ask anymore, and after putting the copper coins away, he planned to go to the destination, but Wen Ziling seemed a little confused when he was not familiar with Qingtai Mountain in the place described in the script, but Mu Qingluan seemed to be very familiar with this place. Familiar, after listening to Wen Ziling's description, he started to walk forward slowly with him.
At this time, Qingtai Mountain was very lively, and there were noisy voices everywhere.
The pharmacists in Qingtai Mountain are free to sell medicines wherever they want, so there are piles and clusters, and even walking around becomes crowded.
Wen Ziling and Mu Qingluan were emotional for a while, and stopped when they reached the place they thought of.
This is a quiet place in Qingtai Mountain, and few people usually come here.This medicine was even worse than during the first round, everyone was crowded in a crowded place.
But after Wen Ziling and Mu Qingluan arrived, they sat down.
They are waiting for someone.
The more famous a pharmacist is, the less afraid that his medicine will not be sold. This medicine competition can be said to be a somewhat compulsory activity in Qingtai Mountain, so some pharmacists have no choice but to come out to participate.
Not long after Wen Ziling and Mu Qingluan sat down, they saw a young man in a white robe walking towards him.
It may be a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, this person's hair is neatly combed, and the robe is also spotless.
Regardless of his youthful appearance, this is a master in the transformation stage.
Yin Zeliu, the elder brother of Qingtai Mountain, is not only the top pharmacist of Xuanli Sect, but also a person who can be named by the whole world of cultivating immortals.
He also didn't like the noise outside, so he finally decided to come to this secluded place in Qingtai Mountain. As for the medicine, let's sell it to someone who is destined.
Wen Ziling was not considered his predestined relationship, he just knew in advance that he would come here through his previous life.Originally, he wondered if this would take away other people's opportunities, but the system suddenly told him that he was not Yin Zeliu's predestined relationship, but Mu Qingluan was.
When Mu Qingluan came to Qingtai Mountain a few times ago, she also felt that it was noisy outside, so she came here to be quiet for a while, and then happened to run into Yin Zeliu.
After that, Mu Qingluan bought a bottle of medicine from Yin Zeliu, and Yin Zeliu felt that he was destined for him, so he gave him another bottle.
Maybe this is the charm of the son of luck. Anyway, when Yin Zeliu took out the medicine he wanted to sell, Wen Ziling asked, and he didn't necessarily feel that they were destined to give a bottle.
What Yin Zeliu sells can be regarded as a healing medicine, but it can also be said to be a life-saving medicine.Ten copper coins per bottle, he only plans to sell twenty bottles in total.
If I have to describe it, the healing medicine he made is the pinnacle of healing medicine. It can restore all the injuries you suffered fifteen minutes ago, even the meridians.
If Wen Ziling's meridian had this when it was abolished, it could be fully restored, but after a quarter of an hour, it would be invalid.
After listening to the system's words, Wen Ziling also recalled that Mu Qingluan gave him a bottle of healing medicine after he came to the medicine competition.It's a pity that the healing medicine couldn't heal his meridians, so Mu Qingluan turned to herbs.
So... Maybe this bottle of medicine should belong to him?
Having obtained the desired medicine from Yin Zeliu, Wen Ziling and Mu Qingluan no longer stay here.The next objective isn't about healing anymore, it's poison.
But when they returned to this noisy and crowded place, they saw many familiar figures who came later.
For example, Mei Qintao, it is completely normal for her to come to buy.
Seeing her, Wen Ziling's first reaction was to suffer, but when he met Mei Qintao's eyes, he found that the other person's eyes were shocked, and he turned around and left with the person beside him.
Seeing that she seemed to be avoiding them, Wen Ziling finally showed some surprise.
The shock in her eyes was not directed at him, but at Mu Qingluan.
Mei Qintao is a person who doesn't give up easily, if she is so easy to deal with, she won't be the one who keeps pestering her until the end.
But now she is afraid of Mu Qingluan?
Thinking of the situation when he was competing with Mei Qin Taowu, Wen Ziling raised his eyes to look at Mu Qingluan beside him, and found that the other party was also looking at him quietly.
"Senior brother, what did you say to her that day?" He asked tentatively, if Mu Qingluan didn't want to answer, he wouldn't ask again.
"She said she liked me, but I refused."
"She...seems a little afraid of you now?"
Mu Qingluan seemed to ponder for a while upon hearing the words.
"I just told her that I hope she doesn't show up in front of us again."
hiss...
This is a very straight man's answer, but it is indeed very discouraging to girls.
Although the other party didn't answer the question of why Mei Qintao was afraid of him, Wen Ziling didn't feel comfortable asking further.It's a good thing that Mei Qintao can no longer be attached to Mu Qingluan, right?
