"A few days ago, the prodigal's number one lackey called us together to give us a lecture. Before leaving, he accidentally dropped a piece of thin paper. Fortunately, I was quick-eyed and quick-handed and managed to grab it. I never thought that the thing was actually the recipe for the Nine Souls Heavenly Pill! God really helped me!"
"Afterwards, Mu Liuling searched everywhere for it, but she didn't know that I had destroyed it long ago. She couldn't find it even if she searched everywhere! I heard that because of that, she was severely reprimanded by that prodigal son! Humph, she deserved it! For someone who dares to boss me around, this kind of retribution is just interest!"
The more Jinghui thought about it, the more excited he became: "I got the Lihuo furnace that can be expanded or shrunk and can be freely opened and closed, as well as the notes of Qing Yunzi, the fourth-grade alchemy master back then. God didn't think it was enough and gave me this precious recipe... Hahaha! I am indeed the son of destiny! I am favored by heaven and will surely rise!"
He licked his lips and said, "Strangely enough, ever since that day when I was playing coy with that prodigal son, my alchemy skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Many things that I couldn't understand before have become clear. After I got the opportunity, my alchemy skills have improved by leaps and bounds, far exceeding the growth rate of all the alchemists in the Great Zhou! What they can do in a year, I can do in half a day! In half a cup of tea, I learned to refine top-grade first-class elixirs and became a first-class alchemist! I became a second-class elixir in one day, and a third-class elixir in three days. Now, I am a fourth-class alchemist! I only need to hone my skills a little more, and I can refine the strongest elixir in my mind! Yes, yes! This is my talent, this is my destiny! Throughout the ages, no one can compare with me on this path!"
"I, Jinghui, am destined to become the world's number one alchemist!"
"And the first step of my rise will be at the Youth Alchemy Conference in a few days!"
If these words were known to the world, they would be shocked beyond their control, but this is the fact - after the true destiny had been suppressed for more than ten years, it rebounded wildly, and happened to be matched with the "temporary boot-leg halo" of the prodigal son, enjoying a 300% bonus to special abilities. This is simply an amazing achievement created by the true destiny and the prodigal son working together to cheat. It is a miracle that cannot be replicated!
Of course, Jinghui didn't know this. He just thought that it was all because of his good fortune and destiny, but he didn't know that Chu Tianxiao had changed the script beyond recognition. At the moment, the more he thought about it, the happier he felt. His eyes seemed to be shining: "Chu He! Didn't you think that I was a lowly slave and could never compare to you? Great! I, your little slave, will completely crush you in alchemy and let you know that your proud alchemy skills are actually no match for me!"
"Nine Soul Heavenly Pill?"
"It is totally vulnerable to my improved Nine-Separation Fire Pill!"
When Jinghui thought that Chu He would be defeated by him at his strongest point, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud, his thoughts were extremely clear!
"You could never imagine it! The little slave who was not worth mentioning in your eyes in the past has now turned his fortunes around and is about to take off. You think you can kill all the heroes in the Alchemy Conference, but you don't know that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind! I, Jinghui, am the master of the Alchemy Conference!"
Jinghui felt that these few days were the happiest days of his life. Everything went smoothly, and his talent seemed to be truly stimulated! In just a few days, he had already entered the middle realm of Mingyuan, and was not far from the threshold of the upper realm of Mingyuan. He would succeed in at most half a month...
"Humph! If it weren't for the purpose of consolidating my foundation, I could have advanced to Mingyuan, or even Tongxuan, much faster! Haha! My talent is so strong! Sure enough, it has always been this damn Chu family that has restricted me! At the Alchemy Conference in a few days, I will definitely take revenge with all my might and trample your Chu family under my feet! That's right! I have been trembling with fear and working seriously these past few days, and that prodigal son has already shown an attitude of 'admiration' towards me. He will definitely let me accompany him to this Alchemy Conference, but he never thought about what this little slave of mine is going to do... Hahahaha!"
Jinghui laughed for a while, and then his mind moved. A small stove appeared in front of him out of thin air, and he fiddled with it skillfully... Yes, Jinghui's obsession was very strong. He had been studying hard these past few nights, three times harder than the average destined prince, otherwise he would not have achieved such a miraculous result... Now, he had almost everything ready, just waiting for Dan Hui to come and slap him in the face.
However, what he didn't know was... The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This is true, but is the oriole the end of this sentence
…
A few days later, Yunliao Peak.
The annual Youth Alchemy Conference of the Great Zhou Dynasty was usually held at a scenic mountain peak, where the young generation would discuss alchemy over wine, which was quite a poetic experience. After confirming that Master Feng would be there in person a few days ago, the Alchemy Conference carefully selected Yunliao Peak, where the four seasons were like spring, and set the specific location in a "Cloud Garden" in front of the mountain.
Between the green bamboos all over the mountains, there is an elegant and unique garden standing quietly. At a glance, you can tell that many natural treasures are planted in it, and with the blessing of the formation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gathered, making the spiritual plants inside grow more and more beautiful. Looking at it makes people feel refreshed and peaceful, and it is quite pleasing.
Inside the garden, there was a lake with rippling clear water and willow trees swaying by the lake, which was quite artistic. In the center of the lake, there was a floating island, which was much larger than the Chu family's "ring". There was a building on top, surrounded by small houses, and people walked on the water in groups of three or two, causing ripples.
The first few grey-clothed men who arrived at the location began to activate the formation, and then there was a loud noise, and then a magnificent rainbow bridge rose from the bottom of the water. With a flash of light, all the water stains on it evaporated, emitting a little light...
This was the exact location of the alchemy conference. The time was almost up. Many young alchemists, along with their servants, crossed the rainbow bridge, walked into the building, and took their seats. Each of them had a private room for rest.
Then, waiters brought up pot after pot of the finest spiritual tea in jade bowls, along with a variety of exquisite snacks. These things were obviously very special, and were similar to the "grant banquet" at the Autumn Night Banquet, which were rare to taste a few times a year. Of course, this was a treatment that only "distinguished guests" of distinguished status like Chu Tianxiao could enjoy, while others would have to wait for a while.
At this moment, Chu Tianxiao was lying on a bench, holding a cup of crystal clear tea, smelling the refreshing tea fragrance, while Mu Liuling was massaging his shoulders with her little hands behind him.
Of course, there is also a little servant named Jinghui standing respectfully here. He was the one Chu Tianxiao "personally selected" to bring here.
"Liuling, have Chu He and the others arrived?"
"Well, they are in the Tianzi Pavilion No. 3. The owner of this pavilion is also sensible and knows how to behave. He did not put us in the same pavilion with Chu He." Mu Liuling said, "In addition, several other children of the Divine Marquis families who are expected to win the championship of this Alchemy Conference have also arrived... The Alchemy Conference is about to open."
As he spoke, Mu Liuling began to report the names of several competitive opponents and informed Chu Tianxiao of their information. Chu Tianxiao listened, and occasionally hummed softly. At this moment, a stream of light fell on the field, and then, a sound like a huge bell rang out.
"The Youth Alchemy Conference begins now!"
