Mu Ling's Troubles
"Junior Brother Gu, you …"
Zhao Mai Yi's expression was filled with disbelief, although he did not dare say that he was the number one in the Heaven Court, but he was still the number one in the Mountain River List, even if there were people hiding their strength, they might not be stronger than him.
And Gu Xuan was only a newcomer who had just entered the academy for less than half a year. He actually won against him, the nominal number one person?
"Alas!" Zhao Mayi shook his head helplessly. His expression was a little gloomy. "I really don't know if I should be happy or disappointed."
Zhao Mayi wanted to be on good terms with Gu Xuan only because he valued Gu Xuan's potential and not Gu Xuan's strength. But he did not expect that he would be defeated in the end.
At the moment, Zhao Mai Yi's heart was filled with bitterness, who would have thought that he, who was ranked first on the Mountain River List, would actually lose to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, no matter what, I will remember your help this time."
"With junior brother's strength, how could I possibly be of any help to you? I'm afraid that I'm the one who has interfered with junior brother's cultivation." Zhao Mayi smiled bitterly: "Luo Yi's strength is weaker than mine. He's far from being your opponent. If I hadn't stopped him, Luo Yi would have to go back lying down."
Gu Xuan did not respond, which could be considered as a tacit agreement. If that was the case, Luo Yi's fate would not be much better than Wang Chu's a few days ago.
Zhao Mayi's temperament was also extraordinary. Moments later, he recovered from the shock and spoke to Gu Xuan in a solemn voice, "Junior brother Gu, it seems like you do indeed have the strength to contend for first place in the Heavenly Court Grand Competition. However, you still have to be careful, especially the fifth place Lin He! This person's strength seems ordinary, but in fact, I don't even have the confidence to defeat him. "
"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother." Gu Xuan nodded. He had also sensed Lin He's strength. This was especially so after this trip to the Desolate Ancient Remains. Other than himself, Lin He's gains were the greatest. No one would believe that such a person was not powerful.
The two of them tidied up and quickly walked back to the academy. When they arrived at the number one pavilion, Zhao Mayi smiled and said to Gu Xuan, "Junior Brother Gu, there is less than a month's time. Junior Brother has to work hard too. When the time comes, it is not impossible for Senior Brother to overtake you."
Gu Xuan smiled and said goodbye to Zhao Mayi. As for Zhao Mayi's words, he didn't pay much attention to it. Based on the experience of World Emperor, as long as someone was surpassed by him, there was absolutely no possibility for him to surpass him. If such a day really came, Gu Xuan would have to think about whether there was something wrong with him.
Returning to the pavilion, Gu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, he rubbed his temples, and then with a flick of his finger, he summoned the Icy Soul Cold Flame out of his body, and asked: "Previously, you should have observed the top 20 of the Mountain River List, how are their strengths? Is there anyone stronger than me? You should be able to completely observe the strength of a Profound Stage martial artist. "
"There is someone stronger than you," Yun Xi said bluntly.
"Lin He?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, this person has concealed himself deeply. Although he is only ranked fifth, but in truth, he is much stronger than the first. He should have already stepped into the doorstep of the Revered Stage." Yun Xi praised.
"Doorstep of the Revered Stage huh …" Gu Xuan touched his chin, frowning as he pondered.
The so-called doorstep of the Revered Stage strength was roughly the same as the Revered Stage Puppet's strength, and Lin He actually obtained so many treasures. If there was no external help, he should be stronger than the Revered Stage Puppet. After all, the conditions for obtaining treasures was to defeat the Revered Stage Puppet.
And when Gu Xuan faced the Revered Stage Puppet, he would at most be able to exchange 10 moves with it and barely not lose. The disparity was not small.
"I need to increase my strength a little more, to guarantee that I will be able to obtain first place …" Gu Xuan muttered.
He had already grasped the strength of the Profound Stage 7 stars, and even if he completely grasped it, there would be a limit to how much he could improve. Thus, he could only continue to increase his realm to be able to obtain first place.
As for fighting next year, Gu Xuan did not even think about it. It had not even been a year since he was reborn, and in another year, who knew what realm he would have reached.
"The Supernatural Elixir has completely lost its effect. Now it's time to get some other elixirs."
Gu Xuan stood up and went straight to the Thousand Treasure Hall. First, he exchanged a few thousand Treasure Points worth of elixirs, and then exchanged the remaining Treasure Points for Spiritual Crystals!
The exchange rate of Treasure Points for Spiritual Crystals was very low. One Treasure Point could only be exchanged for 10 Spiritual Crystals, which was 1,000 gold coins.
This was far lower than the value of the treasures exchanged.
However, such a large number of rare treasures could only be bought by a force like the Yingtian Academy in one go. If they were placed in other places, they would not be much different from the Yingtian Academy. If they were sold in bulk, the price would be greatly reduced. If Gu Xuan wanted to sell them slowly, the price would not be a problem, but it would probably take more than 10 years.
190,000 Treasure Points were exchanged for 190 Spiritual Crystal Cards. One Spiritual Crystal Card was equivalent to 10,000 Spiritual Crystals, and there was a total of 1.9 million Spiritual Crystals, which was equivalent to 190 million gold coins!
This wealth was enough to buy the entire Zhenshan County.
Carrying this huge sum of money, Gu Xuan headed straight to the Alchemy Pavilion and headed straight for Mu Ling's location. Previously, he had promised that he would not skip work for no reason. However, he had to go back on his word during this trip to the Desolate Ruins. If he did not head over to explain himself now, it would be too rude. He should be forgiven for delaying his work because he went to the Desolate Ruins.
Before Gu Xuan arrived at the medicine storehouse, he heard a quarrel and could not help but frown.
In the medicine storehouse, there was a handsome young man with the mark of a Tier 1 Alchemist on his chest. He was blocking the entrance of the medicine storehouse.
"Chen Lang, how many times have I told you? I only have alchemy in my heart. I have no interest in starting a family. Please don't disturb me, okay?" Mu Ling looked unhappy and said to the young man at the door.
"Ling Er, being with me won't affect your alchemy. Look, I'm already a Tier 1 Alchemist. Isn't it better for you and me to test each other's alchemy skills?" The young man named Chen Lang blocked the door and said anxiously.
"It's enough for me to have my master to guide me in alchemy. I don't need to spar with you. Get out of the way, I want to go out! Also, don't call me Ling Er. "Mu Ling frowned and scolded softly.
"Ling Er, your master's guidance is your master's guidance. However, a spar between peers is essential. Your master can't always guide you. If you are with me, we can discuss alchemy day and night. Why don't you agree?" Chen Lang's eyes flashed with a trace of lust.
Hearing Chen Lang's frivolous words, a trace of anger flashed across Mu Ling's face. Just as she was about to flare up, a faint voice came from the side. "The reason why I don't agree is actually not to discuss alchemy skills. I just find you disgusting and dislike you. I really admire you for not even being able to tell that."
Chen Lang turned his head and saw Gu Xuan. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. "Who are you? Why do you care what I do?"
"Indeed, I shouldn't care what you do. However, it's obvious that she dislikes you and yet you still want to stick to her like a fly. You're so shameless. I have no choice but to talk to her," Gu Xuan said coldly.
"Brat, you'd better know your place." Chen Lang's face turned cold. "You're not an alchemist. You should be a martial arts student. I have connections in the Heavenly Court. If you dare to provoke me, do you believe that you won't be able to survive in the academy? You should know what kind of existence the students of the Heavenly Court are, right? "
Hearing the two words "Heavenly Court", Mu Ling revealed a look of anxiousness and immediately said: "Gu Xuan, you don't have to care about this matter. I'll settle it myself."
Although she was a Tier 2 alchemist, the geniuses of the Heavenly Court had a similar status as her. Furthermore, she had heard that the people Chen Lang knew were from the Mountain River List and had a high status in the academy. This was also the reason why she did not fall out with Chen Lang.
She had a master, and the people of the Heavenly Court had connections with a few King level experts. If she could not provoke them, she would try her best to not provoke them. If she was like that, then Gu Xuan was even more so.
"Originally, it had nothing to do with me. But since this person is an eyesore, then it has something to do with me." Gu Xuan shook his head and looked at Chen Lang. He said coldly: "Now, I'll give you two choices. One is to scram. Two is to bring me to the backing of the Heavenly Court. I'll talk to him personally."
Chen Lang was startled. Immediately, a look of ridicule appeared in his eyes: "Brat, is your brain not fried? You still want to meet my senior brother from the Heavenly Court? You look like you're just a Profound Grade 6 or 7 star. How can you talk to such a person? "
Mu Ling was also anxious: "Gu Xuan, don't bother about this matter. The elite students of the Heavenly Court are not people you can provoke."
Ignoring Mu Ling, Gu Xuan looked at Chen Lang indifferently: "Now you can make your choice. You're too weak. If you don't choose, I'll throw you out."
"Alright, alright. You're called Gu Xuan right? Since you have the guts, then follow me to the Heavenly Court and meet my cousin Chen Hong!" Chen Lang was furious.
"Chen Hong right? Ask him to wait for me at the tenth pavilion." Gu Xuan nodded his head indifferently.
"Tenth pavilion?" Chen Lang sneered, "Even if you want to pretend to be an elite student, you should at least pretend to be one. With your cultivation, you actually dare to say the tenth pavilion. Do you think I'll believe you and let you act like a hero? What a joke! I'm going to the Heavenly Court now. If you have the guts, follow me! "
With a look of ridicule, Gu Xuan shook his head and followed him.
"Gu Xuan!" Mu Ling's pretty face was filled with anxiety. Originally, she still had a glimmer of hope for Gu Xuan, but after hearing about the tenth pavilion, she felt that she was overthinking it. Which warrior in this position wasn't at the peak of the Black Rank? Gu Xuan's words were probably just a bluff. But now that he had been seen through, and Gu Xuan still followed Chen Lang, it really made her a little anxious.
Provoking an elite student in the Mountain River List was not a joke.
