Making a move early

"Daoist Lu Jiu, it's been many years. Why don't you come up on stage for a chat?"

Lin Huasheng spoke calmly and slowly, his words reaching the ears of many Cultivator.

The name Lu Jiu is certainly not unfamiliar to Cultivator from Two Realms.

Not only did he make a name for himself at the South Sea Alchemy Exchange Conference, but this was also common knowledge among those above the Golden Core level in the South Sea.

Even the title of envoy of the Heavenly Star Alliance has begun to spread somewhat.

He is also the Personal Disciple of the Heavenly Star Alliance Alchemist who will succeed True Man He in his position.

The name Lu Jiu was destined to attract attention, and Su Bai immediately drew the attention of many Cultivator.

Disagreements and debates were inevitable.

Some believe Su Bai will not accept the challenge, since Lin Huasheng is clearly relying on the high-grade Pill bestowed upon him by the Pill Saint Qiu Yi, making his Combat Power extraordinary.

Some Cultivator whispered that Pill Saint Qiu Yi wanted to use this Dao Discussion Convention to allow his eldest Disciple, Lin Huasheng, to benefit from the power of this high-grade Pill.

Let's shake up the alchemy world of the Heavenly Star Alliance.

This would allow them to regain the face they lost at the Alchemy Exchange Conference.

There were also Southern Sea Cultivator who questioned how Su Bai, an Alchemist, managed to infiltrate the Golden Core stage of the Dao Discussion Convention without the miraculous aid of Pill like those used by Lin Huasheng...

As for the Cultivator of the Heavenly Star Alliance, there were few doubts about Su Bai; most of their concerns were about whether Su Bai could defeat Lin Huasheng.

In short, as soon as Lin Huasheng extended his invitation, the entire conversation revolved around Su Bai.

Various discussions arose one after another, all reaching Su Bai's ears.

Su Bai was indeed somewhat surprised by Lin Huasheng's challenge.

Although the Heavenly Law Ancestor arranged for him to appear as the final act, his purpose was merely to allow Su Bai to temporarily conceal his strength and hold back the show.

Judging from Lin Huasheng's performance, Su Bai secretly calculated that to defeat Lin Huasheng, there was no need to reveal any of his strength.

With this in mind, Su Bai, accompanied by the Dragon Soaring Dragon Sword, Sword Flight flew to the Combat Arena.

The Soaring Dragon shimmered with azure light, its unparalleled Spiritual Qi remaining undiminished.

He had accepted Lin Huasheng's challenge.

Seeing this, the discussion in the room reached its climax.

Among the Southern Sea Cultivator, there were even voices saying things like, "Is the Heavenly Star Alliance out of talent? Apart from Alchemist, no one else dares to even step onto the field..."

On the Heavenly Star Alliance side, apart from a few who knew Su Bai's strength, most ordinary Cultivator were also worried about Su Bai's abilities.

The effects of the high-level Pill used by Lin Huasheng in that battle were truly extraordinary and unheard of.

In everyone's eyes, this Fourth-tier Pill could enhance the strength of Golden Core Cultivator to the point of reaching the Golden Core's maximum Combat Power.

When Lin Huasheng saw Su Bai enter the stage, his expression changed, and he first clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

In fact, after the last Alchemy Exchange Conference, Lin Huasheng was already completely convinced of Su Bai's expertise in Dao of Alchemy.

This Dao Discussion Convention, this scene, was exactly as the Cultivator had guessed—it was at the behest of their Master, the Pill Saint Qiu Yi.

It wasn't as others speculated; she didn't harbor any jealousy or resentment towards Lu Jiu of the Heavenly Star Alliance.

Using the name of Disciple of the Pill Saint and the power of this Pill, he won a match in the Dao Discussion Convention. In reality, he had already completed the task assigned to him by the Pill Saint.

Lin Huasheng's challenge to Su Bai was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision; he genuinely wanted to use battle as a pretext for dialogue.

Su Bai could naturally understand all of this, and after going on stage, he calmly clasped his hands in greeting.

Lin Huasheng quickly took out three more Pill, still high-grade Pill in cyan, red, and purple.

This time, Lin Huasheng chose to swallow all three Pill at once before the battle.

Unlike last time, this time it was much easier, and a look of pain suddenly appeared on Lin Huasheng's face.

Until the three-colored elixir energy suddenly emanated from his dantian and spread to his limbs and bones, eventually enveloping his entire body.

The look of pain gradually disappeared from his face.

All three pills were taken together.

Even if both sides are Alchemist, and they know that Su Bai does not have the high-level Pill he has used to enhance his abilities.

Lin Huasheng still chose to go all out and give the highest level of respect to his former opponent who had defeated him in Dao of Alchemy.

Lin Huasheng quickly replied, "Brother Lu, I have recovered. Please give me your guidance!"

Su Bai nodded, and without saying a word, stood with his sword held horizontally in front of him.

In mid-air, the Nascent Soul Cultivator from the South Sea, who stood with his hands behind his back, waved his sleeve upon seeing this.

"The eleventh match, Lin Huasheng of Pill Island versus Lu Jiu of Star Luo Pill Pavilion, begins!"

Su Bai remained still, but Lin Huasheng came on strong, his Purple Dan Qi seemingly able to manipulate the heavens, unleashing purple Thunder that struck directly at Su Bai.

In just a moment, Su Bai sensed the presence of heavenly lightning above his head and was somewhat disappointed.

Within this purple lightning, Su Bai did not sense the destructive aura of the Pill Tribulation that Qiu Yi.

They were just numerous, ordinary Purple Heavenly Thunder with moderate power.

It must be a pill made from the Demonic Core Demon Beast that can communicate with the thunderous energy of heaven and earth, using the Pill Alchemy Method for refining Demonic Core.

With a thought, a barely perceptible flash of lightning appeared beneath Su Bai's feet, instantly dodging several bolts of Purple Heavenly Thunder.

At the same time, they rapidly approached Lin Huasheng's location.

At this moment, Lin Huasheng was still forming hand seals, guiding the heavenly lightning to strike Su Bai.

Upon realizing with astonishment that the heavenly lightning could not lock onto Su Bai at all, Lin Huasheng's expression changed.

The decision was made swiftly; he immediately abandoned the heavenly lightning attack, his figure transforming into a streak of crimson light as he retreated, once again creating distance.

In just one glance, Lin Huasheng sensed that Lu Jiu's Combat Power was definitely extraordinary.

Although the Purple Heavenly Thunder were fast at locking onto him, if he had the red pill energy around him, he could indeed dodge and evade them just like that.

But he clearly didn't see any trace of Escape Technique in Su Bai's footsteps.

Clearly, this speed is far from its maximum potential.

That's terrifying!

Lin Huasheng immediately Consciousness that this battle would be extremely difficult.

However, reality once again exceeded his expectations.

Even with the speed boost from the Crimson Dan Qi, Lin Huasheng was shocked to find that his opponent was still rapidly closing in without using any escape Escape Technique.

There was no way to escape, and no room to employ any further tactics.

Once Sword Cultivator close, the consequences are unimaginable.

"How can he be so strong..."

Even though Lin Huasheng had long accepted the gap between them in Dao of Alchemy.

However, when the Dao Discussion Convention arrived, he was once again overshadowed by this old rival, and his Dao Heart faltered for a moment.

The distance closed again, almost within reach.

Lin Huasheng didn't even have time to ponder why someone who was only at the Mid Golden Core could be so incredibly powerful.

A Sword Light suddenly arrived, striking the barrier formed by the Azure Dan Qi.

There were no fancy moves, only powerful Spiritual Power and terrifying Sword Qi.

The only Divine Ability Su Bai used, [Virtual Reality Sword Domain], only covered an area of one zhang around Lin Huasheng.

The blue screen shattered instantly.

Although it still had a counterforce, it deflected Su Bai's Soaring Dragon Sword.

But the second sword strike, amplified by the speed of the [Virtual Reality Sword Domain], arrived even faster!

There wasn't enough time for the Azure Dan Qi to reform into a barrier!
