"Xia Yan's challenge. I want to arrange it myself!" Meng Chang changed his mind.
Although this matter does not need to be arranged by him personally, Meng Chang still intends to do it himself. This is also an opportunity to get closer to Xia Yan, and of course he will not miss it.
"Thank you, Chairman Mengchang!" Xia Yan stood up and thanked him.
"Mr. Xia Yan is being polite, I don't know, how many challenges do you plan to do in a day?!" Meng Chang hesitated, but still asked.
Xia Yan had already made up his mind, and said directly, "President Meng Chang, what do you think of twenty games a day?!"
There are twelve hours a day, but the extreme challenge venue usually starts at noon. At the latest in the early hours of the morning, the door will be closed. In other words, there are only six hours in the Extreme Challenge venue that can be used for challenges.
Within six hours, twenty challenges are arranged, that is to say, Xia Yan will have a challenge every about one incense stick.
This is indeed very hasty, and it is more laborious to arrange.
Meng Chang frowned, his eyes flickered, and finally said in a positive tone, "As long as you, Mr. Xia Yan, can win in such a short period of time, I can find a way to arrange consecutive challenges for you. Hehe, we Zi In the challenge hall of Ye College, there are many challengers."
"Meng Chang, I will leave this matter to you." The palace master Pang Yuan also smiled.
"Please rest assured, Lord Hall Master." Meng Chang immediately looked at Hall Master Pang Yuan and responded.
"By the way, President Mengchang, I want to start tomorrow. During the challenge, I want to wear a mask and use the name 'Lingluo'." Xia Yan frowned and thought.
When he was in Yushui City, Xia Yan used the name Lingluo to challenge the challenge hall many times. Now in Ziye City, Xia Yan wants to continue using this name.
Furthermore, if Xia Yan's real name is used, it may cause some unnecessary troubles.
"That's no problem. At noon tomorrow, please come to the Extreme Challenge Hall to find me." Meng Chang nodded, waved his hand and said indifferently.
Both the name and the challenger's registered identity are just pronouns and have no substantive meaning. The name can be changed at any time, as long as the person remains the same.
…
"What, you said Xia Yan returned to Ziye City?!"
In the courtyard where the head of the Song family, Song Li, lived, an elder of the Song family in a gray robe hurried over and told Song Li the news he had just received.
Xia Yan appeared at Ziye College today, and the Song family immediately got the exact information.
For Xia Yan to participate in the college exchange meeting. The Lu family also knew about it.
"Yes, Patriarch. Xia Yan arrived at Ziye College at noon today. The students of Ziye College welcomed him very warmly. Xia Yan's performance at the college exchange meeting was amazing. It is said that he already has the strength of a late-stage great spiritual master." The elder also had a gloomy look on his face, with a hint of anger in his tone.
The speed at which Xia Yan's strength increased made them just stare dumbfounded.
It took Xia Yan only about a year, or a little more than a year, to go from the acquired state to the spiritual master state, from the spiritual master state to the great spiritual master state, and now to become a later stage great spiritual master.
All of this happened so fast that people couldn't react.
"Patriarch, Xia Yan has already returned. The Xia family in Yushui City will definitely send someone to inform Xia Yan of the situation their Xia family is facing now. Xia Yan will definitely not sit idly by." The elder lowered his voice negatively.
"How about that?!" Song Li snorted coldly, "The matter of the Xia family has nothing to do with us. Although Xi Potian, the patriarch of the Xi family, came to look for me, but I did not cooperate with him. A mere county family, I also want to sit on an equal footing with us, and I don’t overestimate myself.”
"Xia Yan came back and wanted to settle the score, but he couldn't find us." Song Li said with a sneer.
Xi Potian did come to the Song family years ago, intending to use the power of the Song family to uproot the Xia family from Yushui City. However, Song Li did not agree at that time.
Although Song Li did not agree to Xi Potian, he has been paying attention to the situation of the Xia family in Yushui City. He didn't directly participate, but he also secretly obstructed it. For example, if the Xia family wanted to import some goods, his Song family would use his own power to destroy it.
"Hehe..." The elder suddenly smiled, "Patriarch, Xia Yan came back alone this time. Liu Yun is not by his side. The Xia family is in trouble, so he will definitely return to Yushui City to help the Xia family. This is a rare occasion. It's a chance to make a move."
"Huh?!" Song Li was slightly taken aback, looking at the elder, "What do you mean..."
"No way!" Song Li immediately shook his head, "It is said that Xia Yan is now in the realm of a great spiritual master, and no one in our Song family can match him."
Even if he took action himself, he is far from being Xia Yan's opponent now. He knew what the elder of the family meant, and wanted to use this time when Xia Yan was alone to kill Xia Yan.
Let's not talk about whether after killing Xia Yan, there will be something left behind to cause Liu Yun's revenge. With Xia Yan's strength alone, the Song family could not be hostile.
"Patriarch, of course we can't do it ourselves. There is Liu Yun behind Xia Yan. He performed outstandingly at the college exchange meeting this time, and there may be many people who will pay attention to him."
"If we want to kill him, we need to find someone who has nothing to do with us. This person must have the strength of the Lingzong realm. Kill Xia Yan without leaving any traces."
"Patriarch, we don't have the strength to kill Xia Yan. Even Liu Yun wouldn't suspect that we did it, right? Of course, this matter should not be known to more people. Even the other elders in the family cannot tell them."
The elder lowered his voice very low, almost speaking close to Song Li's ear.
Song Li frowned suddenly, and then was slightly moved.
"Spiritual sect expert, why is it so easy to find? Even if it costs money, it is very difficult to hire. Besides, if you hire a spiritual sect expert to kill someone, it will probably cost at least a million. And the person who killed it was Xia Yan , maybe the price will increase even more." Although Song Li was moved. But he could only shake his head helplessly.
The elder's eyes flashed, "Patriarch, have you forgotten that blood wolf?!"
"Blood wolf?!" Song Li was startled.
"That's right, it's him. Three days ago, he came to Ziye City again, and now he's hiding in Qingyun Mountain outside the city." The elder narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"What is he doing in Purple Leaf City?!" Thinking of this person, Song Li asked casually, and then said with a flash in his eyes, "Could it be that you want to use his hand to kill Xia Yan? I'm afraid this is inappropriate, but he An outlaw, a cold-blooded killer."
A few years ago, the Song family had rescued the blood wolf once, and the person who saved the blood wolf at that time was the elder of the Song family.
Three days ago, Blood Wolf came to Purple Leaf City and secretly sent a letter to the elder of the Song family, asking him if he needed help. Moreover, the blood wolf said that he had already broken through to the realm of Lingzong two years ago.
The letter stated that if the Song family needed help, the reward could be discounted.
Blood Wolf, a desperado, was wanted by temples in many cities, but this person is very cunning, good at speed, good at hiding his whereabouts, and hardly appears in the city, so he has not been captured for many years.
This blood wolf is still very strong. When the elder of the Song family rescued him, he was already a late-stage spiritual master. Now, he has broken through to the realm of Lingzong. Back then, Blood Wolf also helped the Song family deal with several difficult matters, all of which went very smoothly.
"Patriarch, there is no need for our family to come forward, I can do so, and hire him in a private name. The Lu family also has a grudge against Xia Yan, maybe they are also interested in joining." The elder's eyes flickered.
Song Li was already tempted.
This is an opportunity to kill Xia Yan, if you miss this time, you may never have another chance.
"The blood wolf, are you sure?!" Song Li still hesitated.
"Hey, that blood wolf is already in the realm of the Spirit Sect. It's not difficult to deal with Xia Yan, and he is good at stealth and attack. As long as he hides somewhere on the way Xia Yan passes, then..."
The elder's right hand made a downward slashing movement, his eyes were full of viciousness.
"In this case… "
"Cooperate with the Lu family? Hmph, those bastards of the Lu family don't have any good things." Song Li said angrily when he talked about the Lu family, "However, we can cooperate with them to deal with Xia Yan. In this way, you can contact the Lu family. Don't talk about hiring killers to kill Xia Yan, test the Lu family's attitude towards Xia Yan, and then decide whether to join forces with them."
"Okay, I'll do it now." The elder narrowed his eyes and turned around in response.
…
In the right wing of Xia Yan's small courtyard, Xia Yan took a deep breath facing the medicinal herbs piled up in front of him.
"Grandpa Shenghuang said that we must seize the time to improve our alchemy ability. Now, hurry up and refine the elixir." Xia Yan's fingers quickly slid over various medicinal materials.
All kinds of medicinal materials were selected by Xia Yan.
So far, Xia Yan has only refined less than ten kinds of elixirs, and the ones tested now are relatively simple ones among the first-grade elixirs. There are eighty-one kinds of elixirs recognized in the mainland, and it will take a long time for Xia Yan to fully master them.
In the cauldron, Xia Yan's spiritual power slowly poured in.
The medicinal power in the medicinal materials was squeezed out by the spiritual power, and condensed in the glass vessel of the cauldron.
Xia Yan's current state is in the late stage of a great spiritual master, and refining pills is much easier than before.
Originally, it would take Xia Yan about half an hour to refine a elixir no matter whether he failed or succeeded.
But now, Xia Yan obviously felt that the progress was much faster.
"Eh? This elixir looks like it's about to take shape. It doesn't seem like I need to work hard to refine this elixir now." Xia Yan was overjoyed, feeling the blue elixir gradually taking shape in the cauldron.
This elixir is simply the concentration of medicinal power, condensed with the spiritual power of an alchemist.
After about a stick of incense, a blue pill was taken out of the cauldron by Xia Yan.
In Xia Yan's hands, the blue pill shone with a moving luster.
"Hiss..."
The elixir suddenly shattered in Xia Yan's palm and disappeared into the air.
"Failed!" Xia Yan was slightly disappointed. "It seems that although the speed of alchemy has increased a lot, the success rate is still not good. You have to concentrate completely."
While his thoughts were turning, Xia Yan closed his eyes, exhaled a puff of air from his chest again, and completely drove away all kinds of distracting thoughts in his mind.
