Chapter 455: The Dan King’s Disciple
The old man seemed to have known that Shen Xiang and the others would come, so he was not surprised at all. However, Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue were puzzled as to why there was someone in this place that had been closed for many years.
The first thing Hua Xiangyue thought of was that this old man was most likely the Dan King Li Tianjun, but Shen Xiang knew that Li Tianjun had already gone to the heaven, and Wu Canghong still knew him there.
"Who are you?" Shen Xiang asked, his face full of vigilance. Neither he nor Hua Xiangyue could tell the strength of this old man.
The old man was wearing an old white shirt, very neatly dressed, with a peaceful smile on his face. He said with a smile: "I am the one waiting for you!"
At this time, Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue noticed that the place full of spiritual medicines was covered by a formation, which was a very powerful formation.
Although the medicine garden is deep underground, it seems like a mysterious realm where one can even see the blue sky.
"Why are you waiting for us here?" Shen Xiang asked again.
"I have been waiting for you here since this medicine garden was built! By the way, this medicine garden was built by the master. I have been taking care of it here for a long time. I can't remember how many years it has been." The old man smiled.
Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue were shocked again. This old man turned out to be the disciple of Dan King Li Tianjun.
"Don't worry, you can get those elixirs, but you have to pass the test!" said the old man.
Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue looked at each other, and Shen Xiang asked: "What test?"
The old man saw Chen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue holding hands tightly, and asked doubtfully: "Are you husband and wife? Or siblings? The difference in strength is too big! If the man is stronger than the woman, then it makes sense!"
Chen Xiang smiled slightly: "That's right, we are husband and wife!"
"Hey, kid, don't lie to me, an old man. Although I haven't been out for many years, the world outside shouldn't become so outrageous!" The old man shook his head and smiled.
Hua Xiangyue rolled her eyes at Shen Xiang, let go of Shen Xiang's hand, and said: "He and I are friends, what kind of test is it? If it's too deadly, we won't do it!"
"It's not dangerous. Just compete with me in alchemy. Use the spiritual herbs in this medicine garden. And I will decide what kind of elixir to make! Only by passing my test can you prove that you are qualified to get this medicine garden. Isn't that too much?"
The old man looked at Hua Xiangyue and said that he was secretly surprised by the fire in Hua Xiangyue's body. He could see that Hua Xiangyue was a very powerful fire controller and had great strength. She must be a high-level alchemist.
However, Shen Xiang, a weak minion, was completely ignored by the old man, which made Shen Xiang very upset.
"No problem! Just don't make the rules of the competition too harsh. You can't ask me to refine elixirs!" Hua Xiangyue said.
The old man nodded and asked, "What is the highest elixir you can refine?"
"Mid-grade Heavenly Grade!" Hua Xiangyue said lightly, which frightened Shen Xiang and the old man. Shen Xiang originally thought that Hua Xiangyue's limit should be the lower-grade Heavenly Grade pill, and to be able to refine the mid-grade Heavenly Grade pill, that meant he was a master of the Pill Sect.
The next level above Danzong is Danwang, which is the limit of alchemists in the mortal world. Although Danzong is slightly inferior to Danwang, it is rarely used in the mortal world. Even if one can refine top-grade heavenly pills, he cannot be called Danzong.
More importantly, Hua Xiangyue is a woman, and she is very strong, looks young and beautiful, and has a great future.
"Well, I will make a set of rules for you, and then compete with me!" The old man was very excited at this time. When his master asked him to stay here, he agreed without hesitation, but he stayed here for many years. He was so lonely here, and it was rare for someone to come here.
The old man has been studying alchemy in here all day long. Now he has met a powerful opponent, so of course he wants to compete with Hua Xiangyue.
"Old senior, are you the disciple of the Pill King Li Tianjun? May I ask your name?" Shen Xiang asked. He also wanted to compete with this old man. He had no chance of making high-level pills, but when it came to making Xuan-level pills, he was very confident in himself. He was now known as the youngest alchemist in the mortal martial world.
The old man nodded and said, "I was adopted by the master, so I took his last name. My name is Li Baojun. What's yours?"
"Shen Xiang!"
"Flower Fragrance Moon!"
Li Baojun said, "Don't worry, I will let you compete with me in refining the Heaven Grade Pill. Refining this kind of pill requires a lot of luck, and it is impossible to show your level in a competition. It takes a lot of time and wastes medicinal materials."
"Senior Li, to be honest, I got the map! I think both of us should accept the test. I have also studied the art of alchemy for more than ten years." Shen Xiang said.
Li Baojun didn't want to compete with a kid like Shen Xiang in alchemy. He saw that Shen Xiang was very young and weak. He estimated that Shen Xiang was about 30 or 40 years old and must not be very good at alchemy.
Hua Xiangyue noticed that Li Baojun looked down on Shen Xiang, and she secretly felt unhappy for Shen Xiang in her heart. She admired Shen Xiang's ability in refining pills very much. If they were to compete in refining low-level pills, she would admit defeat.
"It was indeed he who brought me here. If I get this medicine garden, whether he will share it with me or not depends on his mood." Hua Xiangyue said with a smile.
Li Baojun frowned, he felt that the world had changed, a boy as small as an ant could actually order a woman who was very strong in strength and alchemy, and this woman was as beautiful as a flower. He felt that Hua Xiangyue had something wrong with her brain.
Li Baojun is still very principled. The medicine garden must be handed over, but the person who gets it must pass a test before being eligible to obtain it.
"Okay, I'll be a bit reluctant and let you two compete with me. I'll be against two of you alone! If you still can't beat me, then you don't deserve this medicine garden." Li Baojun said.
There are quite a few spiritual medicines in the medicine garden. The highest grade is the top-grade Earth grade, and the lowest is the True Essence Pill and White Jade Powder. There are also medicinal materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, Five Elements True Essence Pills, Life Essence Pills and other low-grade Profound Grade pills. There are also some mid-grade and top-grade Profound Grade pills, but not many.
"Don't worry about the rules of the competition, they will be fair! Best of three, the one who wins two games first will be the winner! Boy, what is the highest level of pill you can refine?" Li Baojun asked.
Shen Xiang said: "Xuan level lower grade!"
Li Baojun was shocked. He originally thought that Shen Xiang was at most a spiritual level upper grade, but he didn't expect that he could enter the Xuan level lower grade at such a young age. Of course, there are people like this, but they are very rare.
In such a vast mortal martial world, there are indeed not many people who can refine low-grade Xuan-level pills at Shen Xiang's age.
"Wait, I think of a better way to compete that will ensure fairness while allowing both of us to demonstrate our alchemy skills!" said Li Baojun.
