After Kou and Xu went down, there were a few more disciples who could not hold back and jumped down to measure the strength of the Dan.
They were also secretly competing with each other. These people were all sixth to fifth grade Dan, but they all knew their own limits. They did not dare to use the Dragon Whale under the sea to test their skills, and only made a fuss about the Yin Yang Copper Fish.
Zhang Yan looked carefully and found that these disciples were all from the 12 main houses, but he did not see anyone from the 46 main houses and 200 famous families.
This wasn't because there hadn't been any outstanding disciples in the past ten years, but because the Twelve Great Houses were all thousand-year-old clans with deep roots. It seemed like this assembly that could allow their clansmen to make a name for themselves, so they naturally didn't want the disciples of clans that were inferior to them to interfere.
At this time, another person came up. This person was short and fat. He had a moustache, and his eyes were small and bright. His appearance was very comical. When he went up to the cloud, because his body was round, he looked like a meatball rolling up, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Although this person was ugly, he didn't care if people laughed at him. He walked in front of the copper fish and circled around them twice. He chuckled and a large cloud of smoke came out from his sleeves. It swirled in the air and covered the thirty-six copper fish. He said, "Get up!"
With this shout, he sucked in a breath and easily picked up the thirty-six copper fish.
After doing this, his expression did not change. It was obvious that he was doing it with ease.
A cry of surprise came from the square. Not only the few Perfected Masters on the clouds, but even some of the junior disciples could tell from his movements that he was not far from the Second Stage of the Core Transformation Realm.
Feng Hai Qing's white eyebrows moved slightly. He said, "Oh, Dan Four, good, and the strength of the Dan has been polished to the point of perfection. There are no flaws. Who is this person? "
Du Ruoyu interrupted with a smile, "I know this disciple. I heard that he is from the Ai Clan. Although he looks strange, he has some ability."
The Ai Clan was naturally the Ai Clan of Anfeng, ranked last among the 12 main houses.
When Zhang Yan heard this, his heart jumped. The Ai Clan of Anfeng? Back in the Lower House. Ai Zhongwen from the Ai Clan had some friendly relations with him. Now that 20 years had passed, this person should be able to come to the Upper House.
Feng Haiqing twirled his beard and nodded. "Our family has many talented people. Of course we will prosper."
The Perfected Persons present nodded in agreement.
The short and fat Daoist measured the power of the pill. He looked around proudly before leaving on a cloud. However, at this moment, no one dared to look down on him because of his appearance.
However, his Dan was already at the fourth grade, if he wanted to suppress it, he would have to do so. He had to make it above the third grade, so after he left, no one else entered the arena.
Zheng Hongtu's gaze shifted to Zhang Yan. He said to Zhang Xuan amiably, "Martial nephew Zhang, are you interested in going down to taste the pills?"
Zhang Yan smiled. He said sincerely, "Zhenren Zheng, the time has not come yet. If I were to step up, I'm afraid there would be no one else after me. "
Feng Haiqing could not help but take another look at him, but in his heart, he mocked him, "Just someone who talks big."
His mocking gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Elder Gong, but the latter seemed to have long regarded him as deaf and blind. He pretended not to hear it and did not look over at all.
Zhenren Zheng smiled and did not ask any more questions. In his opinion, Zhang Yan was just putting up a strong front. However, it did not matter. Let him be. Today, he would lose face as a master and disciple, and let the disciples of the various sects take a good look at the outstanding juniors of their families.
It was not that he did not consider the possibility that Zhang Yan could make a third-grade Dan or above, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he felt that the possibility was too small.
Just looking at the Qincang School, Ning Chongxuan was the only one to make a second-grade Dan in a hundred years. It could be seen how difficult it was.
As for making a first-grade Dan, he did not think much about it.
This was not because he was too arbitrary, but because when a cultivator refined medicine to form a Dan, they would always encounter the obstacle of "damaging the True Qi". Perhaps it was because the True Fire was not enough, or the medicinal properties were not enough, or maybe the three medicines were missing. In short, no matter how talented you were, when condensing the Dan, you would always encounter some kind of oversight, as if the will of the heavens was deliberately obstructing you.
Since the founding of the Qincang School, only two people had made a first-grade Dan. Apart from the founding master, the other person had long since left this world.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that no one was coming, the well-dressed young man who had been drinking all along kicked the table and shouted, "Brother Xun, watch me vent your anger for you."
His body turned into a cloud of smoke and flew out of the Heaven Tower, landing on the high cliff. With his hands behind his back, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Yan, saying loudly, "Zhang Yan, you are also a true disciple, why don't you have the guts to come and measure the strength of the Dan? Then are you afraid? Is everyone in your sect hiding their heads and tails like you? I am standing here today, do you dare to come down and compete with me? "
Zheng Hongtu's eyes flashed, and he turned to Zhang Yan and said gently, "Nephew Zhang, don't listen to him. This is my grandnephew, Zheng Ying. He has always been arrogant, you don't have to pay attention to him."
Zhang Yan faintly smiled and said, "Since this Senior Zheng wants to compete with me in alchemy, I naturally won't disappoint him."
"Oh?"
Zheng Hongtu and the other Perfected Masters looked at each other. Zhang Yan had refused several times, and they all thought that he would continue to swallow his anger. Although he would not admit defeat verbally, he would not come down. They did not expect him to agree so readily.
Zheng Hongtu looked at Zhang Yan's calm demeanor and frowned slightly. A trace of doubt arose in his heart, wondering if he had overlooked something. But now that things had come to this, it was useless to think too much about it, so he immediately threw this thought to the side.
Elder Gong was also surprised. Previously, he thought that Zhang Yan was forced to come here and that the latter had made up his mind not to go down to taste the Dan. This was a countermeasure, at least he would not lose face twice. He did not think that Zhang Yan would really dare to go down. Could it be …
His heart moved, and his drinking slowed down a bit. His eyes scanned back and forth between Zhang Yan's body.
Since Zhang Yan had already agreed, he did not hesitate. With a wave of his sleeve, he turned into a rainbow sword and descended from the cloud. He stood in front of Zheng Ying.
Outside the cliff, the tens of thousands of disciples watched him descend. They all held their breath and stared intently at the two figures standing on the high cliff.
For a moment, it was as if only the two of them were left in the world.
Zheng Ying looked up and down at Zhang Yan and sneered, "You have guts. Today, I … "
Zhang Yan waved his sleeve and interrupted him, "Arguing with words is useless. Let's see who's the real deal. Junior Brother Zheng, please."
He had been out searching for medicine for twenty years and had experienced many battles of life and death. He had even killed Yuanying Zhenren before. Thus, when he said this, it was really awe-inspiring. Like the clanging of metal and stone, it had a terrifying aura that could not be disobeyed.
Comparing the two, even though Zheng Ying was talented and intelligent, he had never been out in the world. However, he had never experienced the outside world before, so he appeared to be much more immature. Under Zhang Yan's scolding, his aura immediately became weak, and he was unable to say a single word. In the end, he just grunted and avoided Zhang Yan's gaze. He walked to the side with slight annoyance and shouted at the bottom of the cliff as if he was venting, "Open the locks. Open the locks, open them all for me! "
The spectating disciples instantly cried out in alarm. There were nine Dragon Whales under the sea, and this Zheng Ying actually wanted to open them all at once. Could it be that he had the power to subdue the nine whales in one fell swoop?
This was not something an ordinary cultivator could do. For a moment, the shore was completely silent, and everyone stared at him.
The nine capstans turned together, and the muffled sounds were deafening. Not long after, the chains were all loosened.
The nine Dragon Whales were released. What kind of power was this? The surface of the sea was silent at first, but then it was as if it was crushed. There was a loud bang, and in a split second, the foam rose to the sky, and the waves rolled up to the shore.
After a while, the cliff that Zhang Yan and Zheng Ying were standing on also felt a faint vibration. It turned out that the cliff was being repeatedly hit by the nine fierce beasts, and the sound of hissing was getting more and more urgent, as if it was going to collapse to vent its anger.
The disciples outside the cliff who could not fly heard this terrifying sound, and their faces all changed color, trembling with fear.
Zheng Ying, on the other hand, disdained to take advantage of them like the black-faced Taoist. After the waves below surged and the Dragon Whale stretched its body, he sneered and glanced at Zhang Yan. Then, with a shake of his body, smoke spewed out from his body, turning into nine streams, and fell down.
As soon as the nine pillars of smoke entered the sea, they each found a Dragon Whale and pressed on its huge body.
The smoke seemed soft and fleeting, but it was as heavy as ten thousand kilograms. The sea suddenly split, and the nine Dragon Whales kept falling down. These fierce beasts were suddenly attacked, and immediately roared and struggled.
Zheng Ying snorted, and a captivating red flashed across his face. He made a hand sign, straightened his back, and shouted loudly. There was a muffled rumble, as if the heaven and earth were shaking, and the nine Dragon Whales were actually pressed into the bottom of the sea by him!
He stood straight on the cliff, motionless, leaving only his clothes fluttering in the wind.
After a while, although the sea below was still surging and swaying, it could be seen that it was gradually calming down.
And to the disciples on the cliff, it was as if Zheng Ying alone suppressed the boiling sea, and the huge waves that reached the sky. They all opened their eyes wide, and looked at him without blinking.
At this stage of cultivation, he could actually use the power of a person's Dan to subdue the nine whales, what kind of godly power was this! Their hearts were all shaken, and they were extremely shocked.
Spiritual Master Tian of Yuxiao school was slightly moved, and said in a low voice, "This child is a relative of Spiritual Master Zheng? He is indeed extraordinary, to be able to subdue the nine whales with a third-grade Dan, the power of the Dan is very impressive. If he works hard, he will be able to achieve great Dao. "
Zheng Hongtu stroked his beard, smiled, and did not say a word.
In the big families, if a disciple like this who had a third-grade Dan, as long as there were no accidents, he would definitely be able to achieve great Yuanying.
Elder Gong's heart instantly went cold. Originally, when he saw Zhang Yan come down, he still had some hope, but seeing this, he completely lost all hope, and could only shake his head and sigh.
It must be known that although there was a fine line between the third-grade Dan and the third-grade Dan, it was a huge chasm, and the power of the Dan that one could control was more than a few times different.
And looking at Zheng Ying's familiar look, it was obvious that this person had long formed the Dan, but he had hibernated before, and only now did he reveal his sharpness in front of others. Who knew how many days he had been cultivating in secret.
Compared to Zheng Ying, no matter how one looked at it, Zhang Yan did not have the advantage.
The third-grade Dan Daoist came up to take a few glances, and said to Zheng Ying, "Third-grade Dan, you are not bad, you can stop now."
Zheng Ying snorted and collected the smoke. Then, he turned around and looked at Zhang Yan in a provocative manner. There was a hint of arrogance in his expression.
Zhang Yan smiled, turned his head to look down, and looked at the nine Dragon Whales that were being locked up again, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
This action fell into the eyes of others, but they thought that he had shown fear, and those who had some hope at first all shook their heads and gave up, but most people were prepared to see him make a fool of himself.
The few Spiritual Masters looked at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes.
Elder Gong turned his face, a little unable to bear to watch.
