Holy Pill City, Inner Region, North District.
Although the Pill Gathering assessment has started for a few days, the crowd gathered here still has not dispersed.
Especially after some experienced people deduced that the assessment had reached Pill Realm, the atmosphere in the huge square became even more lively.
"I don't know how many alchemists will be eliminated in this round, and who will be the first to come out. When I participated in the last round, the risks were not low. I almost died at the mouth of a monster several times."
"Cao Clan, or another disciple of senior Xuan Kongzi? Anyway, these two people will definitely not be eliminated."
"You don't know this. The mission medicine is only one aspect. Let me tell you, the person who comes out at the right time in the end will gain the most!"
Brush! While the crowd was talking, a figure suddenly jumped out from the whirlpool in the space.
The panic and timid look on his face was in sharp contrast to the Seventh Grade Alchemist Badge on his chest.
"Dan Family, Dan Chen?!"
Someone recognized the girl's identity and exclaimed, never expecting that she would be the first to complete the task.
Just when some people were about to step forward to inquire, they saw Dan Chen quickly identifying the direction and heading straight towards the heights where Three Greats of the Pill Tower and others were.
Such a situation makes many people with keen minds doubt that something terrible has happened in the Pill Realm.
Pill Tower's next actions undoubtedly proved this. Groups of fully armed soldiers rushed into the square. After quickly clearing the square, the three giants Xuan Kongzi, Tian Leizi, and Xuan Yi personally stood high in the sky in front of the space vortex, with extremely solemn expressions.
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise around the square, and Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, Venerable Skyfire and other people who had absolute trust in Chen Guan began to worry.
As time passed, the atmosphere became heavier and heavier. Looking at the faces of the three giants Pill Tower, the crowd around them began to consciously lower their volume until they were completely silent.
In such an anxious atmosphere, the time for tea soon passed.
It was also at this time that the space vortex that attracted countless people's attention finally began to fluctuate again.
Before anyone came out, Three Giants could already smell the pungent smell of burnt meat, and immediately began to form seals in unison.
But in an instant, a Dou Qi Net completely enveloped the exit.
call out! Along with a rumbling sound, Old Man Mu Gu, who is neither human nor ghost, finally appears.
Not surprisingly, when faced with the joint arrest of Three Giants, they were suppressed on the spot without the slightest resistance.
However, what is very strange is that from beginning to end, Old Man Mu Gu never made a quibble, as if he had accepted his fate and allowed Xuan Kongzi to seal himself.
"Mu Gu, it is indeed you. Is this the big gift Soul Hall said? But from the look of you, it seems that your plan is not going well."
The process of suppressing Old Man Mu Gu went incredibly smoothly. Looking at his miserable appearance now, the three giants breathed a sigh of relief. Xuan Kongzi couldn't help stroking his beard and taunting him.
Soul Hall steals the chicken but loses the rice. For Pill Tower, it is a very satisfying thing from any angle.
After hearing Xuan Kongzi's words, the melon-eaters below finally understood the problem today. Among them were many alchemists who had suffered from the Soul Hall's evil hands. The crowd was excited and their mouths were full of fragrance.
However, no matter how much they scolded the family tree, the person involved, Old Man Mu Gu, remained indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Such an appearance made many sharp-eyed people notice that something was wrong, not to mention Three Greats of the Pill Tower, who had a high level of cultivation.
Spiritual Power was released in unison to investigate, and then a look of shock appeared on the faces of the three people at the same time.
"Old guy, take him down personally and don't let anyone touch him!"
Xuan Kongzi waved his hand and placed a layer of Soul Barrier all over Old Man Mu Gu to block outsiders from probing, and turned sideways and said to Tian Leizi.
Tian Leizi nodded in agreement, acted resolutely, immediately picked up Old Man Mu Gu, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"This is...Chen Guan's handiwork?"
Watching Tian Leizi leave, Xuan Yi still felt a little unbelievable and couldn't help but send a message for verification.
Xuan Kongzi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, held his head high and replied through the voice, "Old Man Mu Gu Four-Star Dou Venerate's strength, even if this kid cooperates with that strange puppet, the chance of winning is less than 30%. Come to think of it, over there Pill Realm Among them, there was probably another breakthrough, and some tricks were used to trick Mu Gu. This move is not very honorable and does not have the same demeanor as I did back then. When he comes out, I must tell him well. How can he be so kind to the Soul Hall?"
Xuan Yi opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
As the crowd around the square speculated, another four or five minutes passed quickly.
The space vortex rippled again, and the next moment, Cao Ying appeared with Chen Guan on his back, not very elegant.
Looking over one after another, Cao Ying was mentally prepared and bowed slightly to Xuan Yi and Xuan Kongzi in the sky.
"Teacher, Martial Uncle, junior brother suffered some injuries during the battle between the Pill Realm and Old Man Mu Gu. I will take him back for treatment first."
In front of everyone, Cao Ying's words undoubtedly solved everyone's doubts and made them understand who caused the injuries on Old Man Mu Gu's body.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Although Chen Guan's current condition does not seem to be very good, it still made everyone who heard it take a breath of cold air.
That's Dou Venerate Expert!
Dou Zong's strength, facing Dou Venerate Expert, being able to escape without dying is amazing enough, not to mention the outcome of losing both sides.
Before this, they couldn't even think about it!
"I originally thought that Cao Family's Demonic Maiden's qualifications were unparalleled in the world, but I never thought that there would be someone even more outstanding than her. Elder Xuan Kongzi has accepted a good disciple."
"To be able to injure Dou Venerate Expert at such a young age, ten years and a hundred years later, hiss."
"To be honest, I met Mr. Chen Guan from a distance half a year ago. At that time, I felt that Mr. Chen Guan was not a creature in the pond. Today I saw it and it turned out to be true!"
"..."
With Xuan Kongzi's nod of approval, Cao Ying rushed to his residence carrying Chen Guan, and could hear countless exclamations along the way.
It's amazing. Cao Ying has always been like this no matter where he goes before, but it has never sounded so pleasant to hear it today.
"Sister, you are making it difficult for me to be quiet in the future."
"I'm just telling the truth. This is the honor you deserve. Moreover, two elders were present before, and there were some alchemists watching from a distance. It is impossible to hide this. How are you feeling physically now? You won't miss Pill Gathering, right?"
"It's okay, I've always been conscious, but there's something wrong with my body. Cultivate in Seclusion I'll be fine in a few days."
Chen Guan tried his best to suppress the Black Flame flowing in the body, and responded with Spiritual Power.
Cao Ying nodded slightly, relieved, but when he raised his head again, the smile on his pretty face solidified.
"Senior sister Cao Ying, Chen Guan he..."
Xiao Yi Xian, Venerable Skyfire and others came towards us.
There is still a thin line between Dou Zong, and Yun Yun cannot, like Xiao Yi Xian, see through Chen Guan's current situation at a glance, and act even more eagerly.
Cao Ying smiled again and shook his head in comfort.
"Don't worry, he is fine. You can take him back to take care of him. Cultivate in Seclusion should be able to recover in a few days."
After saying that, Cao Ying put Chen Guan down from his back, handed it to the two women for support, then smiled politely, turned around and left alone.
Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun were busy checking the situation inside Chen Guan's body in detail, and did not notice Cao Ying's emotions. On the contrary, as bystanders, Venerable Skyfire and Old Monster You Du looked at each other, both of them laughing.
It's night.
Chen Guan sat cross-legged on the bedside alone, with a serious face.
Flame Mantra is running quietly, Dou Qi is flowing turbulently in the body, but among the limbs and bones, a different kind of war is going on.
Among them, a group of Black Flame is like a rebel army, frantically destroying everything in its path. Although the number is rare, it can devour the surrounding Dou Qi, flames, and even Flesh and Blood. It is full of resilience and extremely difficult to deal with.
Around this group of Black Flame, an army composed of three types of Heavenly Flames is gradually shrinking its encirclement and suppression. Relying on the extremely large number, they are integrating and assimilating in the simplest and most direct way.
"One Sub-Flame is so troublesome, Heavenly Flame Ranking deserves to be among the best Nihility Devouring Flame!"
Controlling the three Heavenly Flames to speed up the fusion process, Chen Guan murmured in his heart.
As early as Pill Realm, when he saw the black fire in Old Man Mu Gu's hand, he had already determined that this must be Sub-Flame from Nihility Devouring Flame.
Only this level of Heavenly Flames Sub-Flame can make his current Heavenly Flames throb.
In the daytime battle, Chen Guan suffered a lot of losses, and even used the puppet that took a lot of effort to build to self-destruct.
However, it can eliminate a hidden danger, exchange for a puppet with higher value, and get a Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame by the way, everything is worth it.
Nihility Devouring Flame, Heavenly Flame Ranking ranked second.
Needless to say, it is terrifying. If faced with its main body, Chen Guan will definitely use the energy of eating cloud... milk to escape quickly, but if it is just a separated Sub-Flame, it has a lot of room for maneuver.
This is his battlefield!
No matter how unnatural the characteristics of Nihility Devouring Flame are, being swallowed into his body is like water without roots. Under the constant suppression of the three types of Heavenly Flames, its outcome is already doomed.
Putting a handful of elixir into his mouth, Chen Guan once again accelerated the refining speed. With this move, the place where he was was like a whirlpool, frantically absorbing the outside world World Energy. The movement was so loud that Xiao Yi Xian and others outside the courtyard looked at him.
"Is this kid going to break through again?"
Old Monster You Du casually set up a barrier to cover up any movement, feeling that his understanding of cultivation was being refreshed again and again.
Since when has breaking through been so easy?
Venerable Skyfire glanced sideways at the old guy, a little dissatisfied that he took his job.
"What a fuss, isn't this a normal speed of cultivation? It wouldn't take someone months, or even years, or decades to improve by one star, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun couldn't help laughing.
Old Monster You Du looked confused and glanced back and forth on the faces of the three people. Finally, he realized that he seemed to be a bit out of place.
Xiao Yi Xian is Poison Body of Misfortune. It was just Dou Zong when I first saw it. In the blink of an eye, it was almost catching up with me.
Venerable Skyfire is even more outrageous. Once resurrected, he directly crushes him.
Even Yun Yun has increased its strength by several stars in a short period of time, and is about to break through Dou Zong.
He is the only one who is still standing still...
The sadness came so unexpectedly, Old Monster You Du was speechless, and suddenly felt that it was actually quite good to go to Dragon Island and go to jail.
"I still have something to do, take my leave!"
Venerable Skyfire sneered and didn't bother to stop him.
He knew this old guy's temperament well, and after getting along with him for this period of time, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of him in the future.
"Old Yao, that Old Man Mu Gu today seems to be in a very wrong condition."
No one cares about Old Monster You Du, Xiao Yi Xian opened the topic and said.
Because the distance was too far, they were unable to find out the situation of Old Man Mu Gu during the day.
However, out of his understanding and trust of Chen Guan, Xiao Yi Xian temporarily suppressed his murderous intention.
Old Man Mu Gu is just as she thought, but if he is not dead, she will never mind showing the world how terrifying Dacheng's Poison Body of Misfortune is! "There is something indeed wrong. I sensed the same formation fluctuations in Old Man Mu Gu's body as the puppet before Chen Guan. Combined with the black fire that suddenly appeared from this kid, the answer is actually ready to come out. I am also very curious as to how he did it. Let's wait until Cultivate in Seclusion is finished."
Venerable Skyfire chuckled and replied, confirming Xiao Yi Xian's guess.
Pill Tower, top level.
Three Giants stood side by side, while Cao Ying and Dan Chen stood respectfully behind them, telling what happened after meeting Old Man Mu Gu in the Pill Realm.
Three Giants asked a lot of questions, but actually the two women knew very little.
When I met Old Man Mu Gu, bang, da, wow, I was injured, rescued, and then isolated by Soul Barrier...
As for the specific circumstances of the battle between Chen Guan and Old Man Mu Gu, neither of them knew anything about it.
"Thanks to Little Chen this time, otherwise, this Pill Gathering might really have severely damaged the alchemist camp's vitality. Soul Hall's hand is stretching longer and longer."
After listening to the two women's narration, Xuan Yi sighed with emotion, his eyes turned cold, as if he was aroused by the Soul Hall's little actions again and again.
Compared with her, Tian Leizi, who has a hot temper, is more straightforward. He waved his hand and said angrily, "It's rude to come and go without reciprocating. Pill Tower, it's time to take the initiative. If I don't clean up Soul Hall and several Branch Hall, the world will think that I, Pill Tower, are afraid of him, Soul Hall!"
After each expressed his position, the two looked at Xuan Kongzi.
Surprisingly, Xuan Kongzi, who has always been restrained, did not refute today, with an unpredictable smile on his face.
"We have to fight back, but we don't need to go to so much trouble. We can just wait and see. That old guy Mu Gu fell into our hands. Considering his value, Soul Hall will not give it up easily."
The moment Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, as if they were cooperating with him, both Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi sensed a vague spatial fluctuation.
Say Soul Hall, Soul Hall is here?!
Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi couldn't help but glance at Xuan Kongzi, but they saw that Xuan Kongzi also had a look of astonishment on his face.
Good guy, he was fooled.
Pill Tower There is a hidden dungeon somewhere.
Two figures, one large and one small, quietly emerged.
It was obviously a place where strangers should not approach, but under the leadership of that cute girl, the two of them walked like a tiger and had no intention of being a thief.
"Big man, hurry up, hurry up, or you'll lose control if you're late."
