At the entrance of the Qianyuan Hall on the mountainside of Qianyuan Mountain, a young man in plain clothes was flanked by a man and a woman. They were Zhang Shengqian and Zhang Shengkun from the Zhang family of Sanjia Island. The three of them were standing at a high place overlooking the various forces that were climbing up the mountain like ants. Naturally, the three of them had seen what happened between Lu Ping and Yue Jiangrui.
"Loose cultivators are just a group of frogs at the bottom of a well. They think that they can refine a few half-step Core Forging pills and they can laugh proudly at the Northern Alliance. They don't know that compared to Senior Brother Ye's alchemy skills, they are just a joke of the Northern Alliance." "Junior Sister Zhang, you can't say that.
Don't forget that our Northern Alliance was originally developed by loose cultivators. The purpose of the Northern Alliance is to unite the loose cultivators within the Northern Alliance to protect ourselves. The major forces are only developed by the Northern Alliance to control the Northern Alliance's sphere of influence. Most of the cultivators on Qianyuan Mountain are loose cultivators, especially the few Laozu. If these words were to reach their ears, even with the protection of Uncle Zhang Wuduan, your Zhang family will still be blamed by the Northern Alliance. You might even implicate Uncle Zhang Wuduan's position in Qianyuan Mountain. "
Zhang Shengkun's face turned red from the words of the senior brother in the middle. Zhang Shengqian, who was next to him, quickly changed the topic. "Senior Brother Ye, in your opinion, who has a higher chance of winning the 'cauldron-smashing agreement'?"
"It's hard to say. Although Yue Jiangrui's cultivation method is closely related to his alchemy skills, he can't become an alchemy master if he can't advance to the Core Forging stage. However, his attainments in refining half-step Core Forging pills are something that even Master admires. The Li family's alchemist is a little reckless. However, seeing that he has made the cauldron-smashing agreement without fear, it's hard to say what trump cards he has."
When the Zhang siblings heard the first part of Senior Brother Ye's words, their faces were first filled with joy. However, when they heard the second part of Senior Brother Ye's words, the siblings looked at each other and became a little suspicious.
Senior Brother Ye seemed to know what the two of them were thinking, so he said, "Among the three of you, the Li Family is the weakest. Even if you win this Elixir Gathering, apart from keeping your status as a mid-sized force, you will only get an extra 100,000 Spirit Stones from the Spiritual Mineral Vein every year. It doesn't matter. With Martial Uncle Zhang looking after you, will the Zhang Family still care about 100,000 Spirit Stones? The ones we should be paying attention to are the Wang Clan! "
"Wang Clan?" Zhang Shengkun was confused and said, "The Wang Family should be in trouble now. They are not allowed to join the Northern Alliance and have offended the Crystal Palace. They should be in trouble now. What trouble can they make?"
"Therefore, the Wang Family needs to rely on a force to consolidate their position. As far as I know, the alchemist representing the Wang Family this time is really not weak."
Zhang Shengqian had been frowning and suddenly said, "Could it be the Crystal Palace again?"
"Impossible!" The Zhang siblings had a rare disagreement. Zhang Shengkun shook his head and said, "Not to mention that the Wang Family has already offended the Crystal Palace. Even if the Wang Family is thick-skinned enough to beg again, with the status of the Crystal Palace, would they care about the Wang Family?"
Zhang Shengqian sighed and said, "Sister, was Wang Yishan expelled from the Crystal Palace after the incident?"
Zhang Shengkun was stunned and said, "Indeed. Could it be that the Wang Family and the Crystal Palace put on a show for the Northern Alliance in advance? Or is it that the Crystal Palace wants to hint something through Wang Yishan?"
But then she shook her head and said, "That's not right. This time, the Crystal Palace also sent an alchemist to represent the Crystal Palace in this alchemy gathering. If that's the case, how can they help the Wang Family?"
The Senior Brother Ye, who was hit by the sword, said slowly, "Two alchemists, the Crystal Palace has brought two alchemists. One of them came anonymously. I heard that the alchemist master of the Crystal Palace, Kunshan Town, is also coming to watch the ceremony in the Fallen Mystery Land. However, his personal disciple who stays with him all the time is not here."
The Zhang siblings' faces finally became serious. After a while, it was the younger sister, Zhang Shengkun, who was a little impatient, who asked, "Senior Brother Ye has been under Martial Uncle Qin's tutelage for a long time and has received all the teachings of Zhenren Qin. Against the disciple of Zhenren Kunshan, I think he has a good chance of winning."
Senior Brother Ye heard this and said seriously, "Although I don't think I'm weaker than the disciple of Zhenren Kunshan, if I want to win, it's only a fifty-fifty chance. We'll only know after the competition. However, what I'm worried about is not the competition between the forces, but the alchemists from the sects other than the Northern Alliance. "
Zhang Shengqian was stunned and said, "Other than the Northern Alliance, the alchemists from the sects of the East Sea to watch the ceremony and exchange will be the personal disciples that they focus on training?"
Senior Brother Ye said seriously, "That's right. Other than the Crystal Palace, Purple Talisman Pavilion, Wind Thunder Island, and Skyrend, the three sects of the East Sea that are named after the Northern Alliance, will also send their elite alchemists for exchange. This alchemy gathering is full of strangeness. I'm afraid that the sects will not come with good intentions."
Zhang Shengkun was a little worried and said, "Then, Senior Brother Ye, do you have the confidence to win against the alchemists from these sects?"
Senior Brother Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Although I think I'm obsessed with alchemy, my alchemy skills are still far from Senior Brother Zhou Chuang's."
Zhang Shengqian said happily, "Senior Brother Zhou Chuang? The Senior Brother Zhou Chuang who broke the rules and became the disciple of the alchemy grandmaster Hongye Laozu? "
Seeing the complicated look in his eyes, he nodded and said, "In this situation, the Northern Alliance can only send Senior Brother Zhou Chuang to compete with the alchemists from the sects of the East Sea."
Zhang Shengqian clapped his hands and said, "That's great. I've long heard that Senior Brother Zhou Chuang is the alchemy genius of the Northern Alliance. With him, we'll definitely have nothing to worry about."
On the mountainside of Qianyuan Mountain, the Qianyuan Hall was built to be extremely grand and spacious. Even the 126 big and small forces of the Northern Alliance couldn't fill up this magnificent hall.
Lu Ping followed Li Maolin and took a seat in the middle of the hall. Lu Ping turned a deaf ear to the comments of the outsiders and looked indifferent.
However, Lu Ping's Divine Sense did not relax for even a moment. He was constantly paying attention to the alchemists of the major forces in the hall. This was the first time that Lu Ping had seen so many alchemists gathered together. Although the rules of the conference stated that the alchemists who participated in this competition must be below the Core Forging stage, who could guarantee that there were no hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them?
While Lu Ping was observing others, others were also observing him. The "Smashing the Furnace" was known as a duel between alchemists. In the eyes of outsiders, regardless of the level of Lu Ping's alchemy skills, this agreement alone was enough to attract too much attention.
Lu Ping naturally paid more attention to the alchemists of the Zhang and Wang families. Sitting next to a Core Forging stage cultivator of the Zhang family was a young cultivator dressed in plain clothes. It was the previous Senior Brother Ye. The Zhang siblings were sitting behind the two of them.
Seeing Lu Ping's gaze sweeping over, Senior Brother Ye seemed to feel it and looked back at Lu Ping's gaze. The two of them nodded slightly and smiled.
When Lu Ping's gaze turned to the direction of the Wang family, Lu Ping couldn't help but be startled. Lu Ping was very familiar with this alchemist.
