Contracting divine beasts, refining divine pills, and the gods worshipping the Ninth Young Master

"Jiu Sheng, this is Dongfang Li, the grandson of our Alchemy Guild's grand elder." Ning Lingshu introduced the two.

"Dongfang Li, this is Luo Jiusheng, my new friend."

Luo Jiusheng nodded: "Hello."

Dongfang Li, however, had an unfriendly look on his face. He looked at Luo Jiusheng and was slow to respond.

Ning Lingshu was a little unhappy, "Hey, Dongfang Li, what do you mean?"

Dongfang Li looked at her with some hurt, then turned to Luo Jiusheng and said, "I am Dongfang Li.

Luo Jiusheng, I want to challenge you.

I heard that your master is a famous ghost doctor, so I guess your alchemy skills are pretty good too. I am an eighth-rank alchemist. What rank are you?

Judging from your age, you should not be at the eighth level. How about we compete in refining sixth-level pills? As long as the quantity and quality of the pills you refine can be half of mine, you will win, how about that? "

Dongfang Li actually issued a direct declaration of war, which many people did not expect.

It was a well-known fact that he liked Ning Lingshu, but no one expected him to be so impatient that he issued a declaration of war to Luo Jiusheng.

With his level as an eighth-grade alchemist, it would be easy for him to refine sixth-grade pills, but requiring Luo Jiusheng to refine half as many pills and achieve half the quality as he did would not be considered bullying.

But Luo Jiusheng is only fourteen years old. Can he refine a sixth-grade elixir?

Thinking about it this way, even if Dongfang Li won, it would be somewhat unfair.

Ning Lingshu spoke first: "Dongfang Li, don't go too far. I just want to introduce Jiu Sheng to you. If you don't want to make friends, you don't have to bully me like this. The selection competition hasn't started yet."

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Li, who always listened to Ning Lingshu, was very firm this time, "Lingshu, I want to compete. I want to see what else he has that you like besides his face."

Ning Lingshu also lost her temper and said bluntly: "Dongfang Li, it's none of your business who I like. Jiusheng, let's go and ignore him."

Dongfang Li stretched out his hand to stop them, stared at Luo Jiusheng and asked: "Luo Jiusheng, don't you dare?"

Luo Jiusheng asked back: "Why should I agree to you? Who you and Miss Ning like is your own business. You are free individuals, and so am I. So why should I agree to your challenge? What can I get?"

Dongfang Li was stunned by her question and was a little unresponsive. In his mind, Luo Jiusheng would definitely agree to it in order to avoid embarrassment. If he really didn't dare, he might say some clichés to shirk his responsibility.

But her question made Dongfang Li seem a little aggressive.

Indeed, if he hadn't issued the challenge, Luo Jiusheng would have to accept it.

But if he could beat him, Luo Jiusheng would become famous in the Central Region, and Ning Lingshu would also like him more. Isn't this a good thing? Why didn't Luo Jiusheng agree? Or was he too busy improving his cultivation to be good at alchemy?

Dongfang Li pursed his lips and asked, "You are not a sixth-grade alchemist yet? It doesn't matter. We can compete in refining fifth-grade pills. You have a good talent to be a fifth-grade alchemist at your age."

His stupid look made An Shaoyu and Xie Nanxing anxious. This guy really has no emotional intelligence. No wonder he couldn't pursue Ning Lingshu.

If Luo Jiusheng didn't want to compete, he would simply ignore him.

I've already said that there's no benefit to be gained from the competition, and Dongfang Li still doesn't think of offering a prize. The people in the Central Region really don't know how to adapt.

In fact, it’s not that Dongfang Li is stupid, he just couldn’t figure it out for a while. He is very talented, and few people would challenge him, let alone mention any prizes.

Moreover, Dongfang Li's life in the past twenty-one years has been all about alchemy and Ning Lingshu. He really doesn't know much about the ways of the world, otherwise he would not have stopped Luo Jiusheng to compete in such an occasion.

He was really not convinced, and he really wanted to know what advantages Luo Jiusheng had that made Ning Lingshu look at him with admiration.

He never denied that he liked Ning Lingshu, nor would he stop others from liking Ning Lingshu, but in his heart Ning Lingshu was the best, and those who did not get his approval were not qualified to like Ning Lingshu.

Not to mention that if he is the person Ning Lingshu likes, he must be even better.

Ning Lingshu became a fifth-rank alchemist at the age of fourteen. If Luo Jiusheng is also a fifth-rank alchemist now, he is indeed excellent.

"Mr. Dongfang, I told you that there is no benefit for me in competing with you."

"So you still don't dare?"

Seeing that Dongfang Li still didn't understand, An Shaoyu couldn't help but speak: "Master Dongfang, no matter whether it's a family competition, a sect competition, or a competition between several regions, there are rewards for winning. You asked us Jiusheng to compete with you, what are you going to offer?"

Xie Nanxing echoed from the side: "Yes, Master Dongfang. Since it's a competition, of course it will be more exciting if there is a prize. With Master Dongfang's strength and background, he must have some rare treasures. Show us now."

The two of them sang in unison, and Dongfang Li finally realized that Luo Jiusheng refused to compete with him just because he didn't offer a prize?

The person Lingshu likes is actually so materialistic? Could it be that Luo Jiusheng thinks he can win over Dongfang Li?

Is he so confident?

Dongfang Li frowned and looked Luo Jiusheng up and down. Apart from his outstanding looks and noble temperament, there was nothing special about him.

He was slow to speak, so Ning Lingshu asked, "Dongfang Li, didn't you prepare any prizes when you issued the challenge? Are you trying to get something for nothing?"

Ning Lingshu naturally also understood Luo Jiusheng's intention from An Shaoyu and Xie Nanxing's words. It turned out that Jiusheng wanted a lucky start. How cute.

Ning Lingshu, who had a strong preference for Luo Jiusheng's appearance, was naturally very understanding and helped Luo Jiusheng to get the prize.

Ning Lingshu had already spoken, and even though Dongfang Li disdained Luo Jiusheng's emphasis on interests, he did not say anything to put pressure on him. After thinking for a while, he took out a ninth-grade spiritual herb.

"This ninth-grade Xumai Grass will be yours if you can refine a fifth-grade elixir of half the quality and quantity of mine."

Luo Jiusheng took a look at the ninth-grade Xumai grass and nodded secretly in his heart. It was indeed a good omen. Ninth-grade spiritual herbs were rarely seen even in the Central Region.

She opened her thin lips and said, "Sixth rank."

Dongfang Li was puzzled: "What?"

"Let's compete in refining sixth-grade elixirs." Luo Jiusheng repeated.

"Are you sure?" Dongfang Li asked doubtfully.

"determine."

"Okay." Dongfang Li didn't ask any more questions, "Then let's compete here. This is the spiritual herb needed to refine the sixth-grade elixir."

The sixth-grade spiritual herb was nothing to Dongfang Li, and Luo Jiusheng didn't act pretentiously. He nodded and took it, and also took out a spiritual herb.

"Ninth-grade boneless flower!"

"Jiu Sheng, you actually have a ninth-grade boneless flower." Ning Lingshu exclaimed.

The ninth-grade meridian-renewing grass can be refined into elixirs to reconnect tendons and veins, while the ninth-grade boneless flower can be refined into elixirs to regenerate broken bones.

Both are rare and precious spiritual herbs, but if you really compare them, the ninth-grade boneless flower is slightly better.
