Seeing Xue Yang's relaxed smile, Zhou Tong stood up. The two of them sat together and they got closer.
After bowing, Zhou Tong immediately changed his way of addressing Xue Yang: ”Big Brother, from what Di Hua had said just now, does the sect have an event called 'Immortal Path Congress'?”
In less than three years, Star Gauze Sword Sect will hold a competition between the Immortal Path Congress s and the top three disciples of the A, B, and C sects. In the end, the top ten disciples will all be eliminated, and regardless of which sect they are in, regardless of whether they have sufficient ethereal state or not, they will all break through the rules and become honorary disciples of the Four Great Islands.
Xue Yang opened his mouth to explain, ”You're not very lucky, there's only three months left to the Immortal Path Congress.”
”Oh? What do you mean by unlucky? ”
Xue Yang shook his head and sighed: ”You might not know, but inside Immortal Path Congress, all the disciples will be participating. Don't look at how there are only thirty people in the cafeteria, in fact, most of the people with real strength in A Gate have been training in seclusion for the Immortal Path Congress. Moreover, in the other two sects, there are no lack of disciples with great strength who are preparing to use Immortal Path Congress s to display their skills; at the very least, there are no less than a hundred disciples with strength above the qi generating state. ”
”Then Di Hua's big brother is one of them, right?” Zhou Tong extended his hand out to support his chin, picked up the teacup and swirled it in his hand, tilting his head to look at Xue Yang.
”That's right, Di Hua's big brother is called Di Bei, he is one of the seeded contestants who are highly regarded in the sect. His cultivation is at least at the ninth stage of the qi generating state, and is only one step away from the ethereal state.
Xue Yang laughed bitterly, and picked up the teacup in front of him to drink the tea in one gulp. Thinking back to back then, Xue Yang had relied on his strong physique to challenge Di Bei, but in the end, he lost to Di Bei's flying sword without any suspense.
”So it's like that …” Zhou Tong pinched his chin, and started to think, ”Three months really is a bit tight.”
”This time in Immortal Path Congress, you don't need to go head to head with others. With our strength, it is impossible for us to fight our way into the top ten. Xue Yang reached out and patted Zhou Tong's shoulder, consoling him at any moment, but there were a bit of unwillingness in his expression.
”That may not be the case.” Zhou Tong gave a mysterious smile and lowered his voice, saying, ”Since big brother knows how I entered the qi generating state, I think you have some understanding towards medicinal pellets. I wonder if big brother has ever heard of such a pellet, that would allow me to borrow the power of the divine lightning to refine my fleshly body?”
”The power of heavenly lightning? Are you talking about Grade Five Spirit Pill 'Heavenly Thunder Pattern Pill'? ” Xue Yang frowned, and probed.
”Exactly.” Zhou Tong smiled and nodded, ”If I were to give Big Brother a pill, would Big Brother be confident enough to fight with Di Bei?”
”Are you sure you're not joking?” Xue Yang looked at Zhou Tong doubtfully, but the deep look in his eyes was fully displayed.
The Grade Five Spirit Pill s were known as the Body Refinement Holy Medicines for martial cultivation, and the heavenly thunder energy contained within was able to quickly improve the quality of martial cultivation in a short period of time. It was not an exaggeration to say that a single Heavenly Thunder Pattern Pill was enough for Xue Yang's cultivation of qi generating state to soar up to the qi generating state, and when Di Bei exchanged blows, he would have a lot of confidence.
”Of course I'm not making fun of you, little brother. I'm quite knowledgeable about the art of alchemy, and I know the refining method of Heavenly Thunder Pattern Pill, moreover, I have an 80% success rate.” Zhou Tong stretched out his forefinger and thumb, making an 'eight' gesture in front of Xue Yang.
”If that's really the case, then this Immortal Path Congress will have a good fight!”
Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Xue Yang's face immediately revealed a look of excitement. Heavenly Thunder Pattern Pill was a genuine Grade Five Spirit Pill, let alone Xue Yang himself, even if it was his master in A Gate, it would still take some effort to concoct such a pill.
Xue Yang held Zhou Tong's hand tightly, with a fervent expression: ”Is there anything I can help you with? Just speak your mind. If you are able to refine this pill, it will be a blessing for me. ”
Zhou Tong scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
”I do indeed need Big Brother's help, although I can refine this pill, I am unable to take out the most important ingredient 'thunder pattern crystal', if possible, big brother, please lend me some money, I know an appraiser in Black Rain Pavilion, with his help, I think that buying a 'thunder pattern crystal' would not be a problem, but I will return the money to Big Brother in the future, what do you think?”
