Chapter 842 Meeting an Old Friend

Yu Minghong returned to his cave at the fastest speed, and then saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

After meeting again after decades, both of them felt as if they were in another world.

Compared with decades ago, Yu Minghong in front of him was much taller, and the childishness and impressive arrogance on his face had disappeared, and he looked much more mature.

Of course, compared with Zhan Nianchuan, he was still as tender as a flower that had not been exposed to the sun.

In Yu Minghong's eyes, Zhan Nianchuan had changed even more.

His posture was more upright, his demeanor was calm and restrained, as if he could not be shaken like a mountain. His eyes were as deep as a deep pool, flashing with a confident and wise light.

He just stood there casually, but what he brought to people was an invisible sense of oppression and distance, which made people involuntarily feel awe.

Such a strong aura, he had only felt it in a few Danhai Realm masters who had been in high positions for a long time in the sect.

What shocked him even more was that Zhan Nianchuan actually supported a superior sect with his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building!

This was something he didn't even dare to think about.

"What? You don't plan to invite me in to sit down?" Looking at Yu Minghong with a complicated expression, Zhan Nianchuan smiled faintly.

"Of course not, please come in, brother Li." Yu Minghong came back to his senses, quickly opened the cave, and led Zhan Nianchuan to the pavilion in the center of the courtyard.

After Zhan Nianchuan sat down, he personally brewed the best fragrant tea, and then bowed to the bottom:

"Yu Minghong, thank you brother Li for saving my life twice."

"Brother Yu, please get up quickly, you are the son of Taiqing Palace, how can this be done, get up quickly." Zhan Nianchuan stood up and helped Yu Minghong up.

After the two sat down, Yu Minghong smiled bitterly, "Without brother Li, I'm afraid I would have died long ago, and it's hard to say whether I can keep the position of the son of the saint now."

Zhan Nianchuan remained silent, lowered his head and quietly tasted the fragrant tea.

The taste is good, and the smell is also elegant and long. It is the tea from a thousand-year-old tree.

Seeing that Zhan Nianchuan seemed indifferent, Yu Minghong was slightly disappointed. He stood up and looked at the several Fengye lotus in the pond, with a firm look in his eyes.

"No matter what, I will try my best to defeat Dugu Aotian. My Yu family has been in charge of Taiqing Palace for nearly ten thousand years, and it must not end with me. Moreover, Dugu Aotian is not a good guy. It is definitely not a good thing for Taiqing Palace to fall into his hands."

Zhan Nianchuan nodded secretly, thinking that Yu Minghong could be cultivated.

Although his status and position are here, and there is a previous friendship, he will help him regardless of whether he has the spirit and fighting spirit, but in the future, as he and the people around him become stronger, he may not continue to support him.

A person who has no fighting spirit and relies on the care of his parents and external help is not worthy of being in charge of a super sect like Taiqing Palace.

Thinking of this, he said calmly: "How confident are you?"

"Fifty percent! My alchemy attainments are comparable to his. Who wins or loses depends on the performance on the spot." Yu Minghong answered cautiously.

"But have you ever thought that this duel was proposed by Dugu Hu, and he is said to be the most intelligent and calculating person in your Taiqing Palace." Zhan Nianchuan said meaningfully.

Yu Minghong's face changed.

"Do you mean they have a trick or a backhand?"

"I don't know, but I think you must become stronger!" Zhan Nianchuan's voice was loud and clear, "You must win this duel!"

Yu Minghong's breathing became rapid. He took a step forward and stared into Zhan Nianchuan's eyes, "Help me become the Holy Son of Taiqing Palace. I promise that as long as I am in Taiqing Palace, Xuantian Sect's spiritual medicine needs will be met first."

This attitude made Zhan Nianchuan very satisfied. He smiled and nodded, "Very good, let me ask you, what is the most important thing for an alchemist?"

"Flame, aptitude, alchemy skills, and alchemy furnace." Yu Minghong answered without hesitation.

"Then how do yours compare to Dugu Aotian's?" Zhan Nianchuan stared at Yu Minghong's eyes.

"For the flame, we all use our own alchemy fire. Our aptitudes are all water, fire and wood, and the alchemy furnaces should not be much different. They are all earth-grade alchemy furnaces. As for the skills," Yu Minghong thought for a while, "I should be a little better. After all, I have refined more times. He used to be very dissolute."

Zhan Nianchuan nodded and fell into deep thought.

The aptitude is the same, the skills are similar, so the difference can only be in two aspects, that is, the alchemy furnace and the flame.

However, the better one can only be the best alchemy furnace, which is also an item that is almost legendary. It is rarer than the heaven-grade alchemy furnace. It is hard to imagine that Dugu Aotian has this thing.

Then the only thing left is the flame.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Did you use Dan Fire or Earth Fire during the competition?"

"Both are fine, but it is said that in order to ensure fairness, the power of the Earth Fire there is kept at the same level as the power of the Dan Fire of the Great Perfection cultivators in the Jindan Realm. Most cultivators will choose to use Earth Fire to refine, which can save more mana."

"Your Taiqing Palace is known for its many spiritual plants and good at refining elixirs. I think there should be no shortage of heaven and earth spiritual fire, right?"

This was a bit beyond Yu Minghong's expectations. He hesitated for a moment and replied, "Of course, but there are not many. There are five in total, two of which are in the hands of my grandfather and father, one is in the hands of Elder Dugu, and the other two are not refined by anyone."

"Oh, why is no one refining it?" Zhan Nianchuan's eyes flashed.

"The reason is very simple. The power of one of the spiritual fires is very small. It is only equivalent to the elixir fire of the monks in the early stage of Danhai Realm. The other supreme elders naturally do not need to refine it. The power of the other spiritual fire is too great. It is us The red sun essence fire that the founder of Taiqing Palace obtained from the red sun essence stone is extremely dangerous to refine into the body, so no one dares to refine it. "

"That's it. Go and see if the less powerful spiritual fire is still there." Zhan Nianchuan ordered.

Yu Minghong felt unbelievable, "No way, he is only in the early stage of pill formation, how can he refine this spiritual fire into his body?"

But when he saw the sneer on Zhan Nianchuan's face, he suddenly remembered that the guy in front of him already possessed extremely powerful heaven and earth spiritual fire in the Qi Condensation realm, so he was speechless and rushed out of the cave.

A quarter of an hour later, he rushed back angrily.

"Brother Li, the spiritual fire is gone. I heard from the elder Qin Taishang who was guarding the spiritual fire that Duguhu had entered the ancestral land a few months ago."

He clenched his fists and spoke angrily: "No wonder they proposed a competition. Now that they have the spiritual fire of heaven and earth in their hands, they have a great advantage in the flames and can refine higher-level and higher-quality products. of elixirs.”

"Well, it seems that you, Supreme Elder Qin, are on Duguhu's side." Zhan Nianchuan chuckled.

"No, Elder Qin has been..." Yu Minghong reacted immediately, his face suddenly turned livid, and he raised his legs to rush out.
