Chapter 35

"Don't panic, take it slow!" Zhao He shouted.

Zhan Chen quickly calmed his mind and imitated what Zhao He had done before. He threw all the herbs into the alchemy furnace and then transferred his True Qi into the furnace.

At first, it seemed to be going well. The dregs of the herbs were slowly evaporating, revealing the essence. However, he immediately realized that something was wrong, because a faint burning smell came from the alchemy furnace.

He heard Zhao He say, "Zhan Chen, your True Qi output is too strong. You have to reduce the flame to avoid damaging the essence of the herbs."

Zhan Chen then realized where he was wrong. He hurriedly reduced the output of his True Qi, and the flame also slowed down.

He then heard Zhao He say, "Quickly form a seal!"

He hurriedly freed his other hand, and used his True Qi to draw runes in the air, but just as he finished drawing five runes, he only heard a bang sound, and the first True Qi rune unexpectedly exploded, and the seal was a complete failure!

At this time, the burning smell in the alchemy furnace was getting stronger. Zhan Chen had to open the lid and take out the burnt elixirs. He was a little depressed. This was the first time he was refining an elixir.

However, Zhao He smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. Zhan Chen, you have basically mastered the process of refining the Rejuvenation Elixir. As long as you practice more, you will be able to master it. If you can master the method of refining the Rejuvenation Elixir, I will teach you how to refine the Ling Xiao Pill."

"Ling Xiao Pill!" Zhan Chen's eyes were filled with desire. One must know that the sect only gave ten Ling Xiao Pills to the inner court disciples every month. It was not enough!

"Then teacher, let's continue!" At this time, Zhan Chen's alchemy mood suddenly rose.

Zhao He gave him another batch of herbs. Unfortunately, he failed again on the second batch. When he wanted to refine the third batch, he found that his True Qi had been exhausted. He didn't expect that alchemy was also a physical activity.

At this time, Zhao He said, "Zhan Chen, you are still a beginner Martial Master. Your True Qi is limited. Let's stop here for today. You should go back and rest."

So he left the Flying Cloud Hall and returned to his courtyard. It was still early, and he was still energetic. How could the diligent Zhan Chen be willing to rest?

So he swallowed another Ling Xiao Pill and began to practice the Gold Breaking Method on the futon. The meridians that had previously been squeezed greedily devoured the Spiritual Qi in the air and continuously transformed it into True Qi!

Zhan Chen actually felt that his cultivation speed was twice as fast as usual! After alchemy, he could actually increase his cultivation speed!

Just like that, six hours passed. Zhan Chen stopped and stood up. He had an epiphany: The reason why alchemy could accelerate cultivation was because the process of alchemy was a slow process of depleting the vital energy in one's body.

This was to't cause too much burden on the body, which maximt the potential of the warrior. t. Then, when he cultivated his cultivation technique, he would naturally be able to achieve a good effect of stretching and relaxing, withdrawing and releasing.

So early the next morning, Zhao He saw Zhan Chen in the Flying Cloud Hall again. He asked in surprise, "Zhan Chen, when did you become so diligent?"

Zhan Chen looked up and said, "Master, I have a request."

"Go ahead."

"Can you allow me to come here every day to learn alchemy?"

"Oh? You're really interested in Alchemy! Unlike your three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, they can't even run away in time, "Zhao He said happily.

"Yes, Master. I still feel that my alchemy skills are far from enough. Please allow me."

"Okay! Since you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach! " The more Zhao He looked at Zhan Chen, the more he liked him. As an alchemist, of course, what he was most happy about was that someone could inherit his legacy and carry it forward.

"Then Master, let's start immediately!" Zhan Chen could not wait. ,

"Let's go to the alchemy room."

…

So, Zhan Chen began to cultivate on a regular basis. Every morning, he would rush to the Flying Cloud Peak to learn alchemy so that he could squeeze out all the vital energy in his body before returning home to cultivate.

Zhao He thought that this disciple of his was very "diligent" and was more and more satisfied with him. He imparted his alchemy skills to Zhan Chen. Therefore, not only did Zhan Chen quickly grasp the trick of refining the Miracle Pill, but he also began to learn how to refine the Ling Xiao Pill.

Just like that, while the other inner courtyard disciples were still worrying about the Ling Xiao Pill every day, Zhan Chen was already cultivating with the Ling Xiao Pill in his mouth. Because of this, his cultivation speed was more than twice that of an ordinary inner courtyard disciple.

During this process, the relationship between him and Zhao He became closer and closer. It was worth mentioning that he often ran into Su Yun at the entrance of his house. After all, their courtyards were very close to each other. Over time, they became familiar with each other.

However, such peaceful days did not last for a few days. One day, while Zhan Chen was refining pills with Zhao He in the alchemy room as usual, they suddenly heard an angry roar coming from outside the hall, "Zhan Chen! Get out here right now! "

Zhan Chen and Zhao He quickly stopped what they were doing and came to the main hall to take a look. They saw a burly old man with a fierce face standing at the door, his eyes filled with anger.

Zhao He saw him and shouted, "Old man Lan Hong, what right do you have to shout in front of my Flying Cloud Hall?"

"Lan Hong!" Zhan Chen was shocked. What was to come would come. He had thought that he could hide for a little longer.

Lan Hong did not reply. When he saw Zhan Chen, his eyes turned bloodshot. He quickly walked up to him and said angrily, "You are Zhan Chen!"

At this moment, Zhan Chen felt a mountain-like pressure pressing down on his body. He could not even move a finger. He was shocked, "I didn't think that the difference between a Martial Master and a Martial Venerable would be so great."

However, there was a voice in his heart that roared angrily, "Zhan Chen, you better hold on!"

Thus, Zhan Chen clenched his teeth and withstood Lan Hong's pressure. He calmly bowed to him and said, "Yes, Elder Lan."

"Did you kill my grandson, Lan Xing?" Lan Hong stared at Zhan Chen's eyes, hoping to find a flaw in them.

"Lan Xing, what happened to him?" Zhan Chen pretended to be confused.

"Did you kill him? I've already found conclusive evidence! "Lan Hong took another step closer to him.

Zhan Chen remained calm and pretended to be confused. He said, "Elder Lan, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't even know where Young Master Lan is."

"You're still denying it? You're the most suspicious! At the same time that you left the sect, my grandson also left the sect. Furthermore, you have the biggest grudge against him! "Lan Hong continued to question him.

"Grudge? Elder Lan, I'm afraid you're mistaken. I have no grudge against Young Master Lan. I defeated him twice in the martial arts competition. I have no reason to hate him. "Zhan Chen continued to defend himself." I don't care.

My Xing 'er's disappearance must have something to do with you. Come back with me to investigate. "Lan Hong appeared to be extremely overbearing. He extended his hand to grab Zhan Chen.

At this moment, Zhao He, who was standing to the side, could no longer watch. He extended his hand to stop him and said, "Lan Hong, what are you trying to do? Zhan Chen is my disciple. You said that Lan Xing's disappearance is related to him. Do you have any evidence? "

"We'll only know after we investigate."

"If you don't have any evidence, don't even think about taking him away! Your Lan Xing has always been arrogant and domineering in the sect. It's hard to say that he doesn't have any enemies. Why are you only grabbing my disciple? "

Lan Hong was speechless for a moment. It was true that Lan Xing wasn't the only one who had trouble with Zhan Chen. However, everything pointed to Zhan Chen. It was most likely related to his grandson's disappearance.

The atmosphere became tense. Both sides confronted each other for a while before Lan Hong said, "Hmph, Zhan Chen, Zhao He, just you wait. This old man won't let this matter rest!" Then he turned around and left in a huff.

Zhao He shouted at his back, "Lan Hong, don't be so arrogant. Remember that your cultivation is still one level lower than mine. If you dare to harm my disciple without any conclusive evidence, I won't sit by and watch!"

It wasn't until Lan Hong's figure completely disappeared from his field of vision that Zhan Chen could feel his heart pounding. Although he acted as if nothing had happened, at this moment, Lan Xing's Cosmos Sack was lying in his bosom. How could he not feel guilty?

After calming himself down, Zhan Chen turned around and said apologetically, "Teacher, I'm really sorry. I've caused you trouble."

"Hmph! This Lan Hong has a terrible reputation in the sect. We elders have long since been unable to endure his arrogance. Don't worry. If he comes looking for you again, with your teacher's support, he won't dare to do anything! "
