Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

The competition between alchemy practitioners is much simpler, and it is basically the home court of Tianyan Immortal Sect.

The match point of this competition was between Ji Yinghuai, the disciple of the Great Elder of Baicao Garden, and Chen Xuyan, the disciple of Yang Xiuzhi. Yuan Junyue held his breath and looked at Chen Xuyan on the stage. It was soon his turn to open the alchemy furnace.

——Success or failure depends on this one move.

Ji Yinghuai refined the ultimate elixir that a fourth-grade alchemist could refine, the Mind-Concentrating Pill. He was very confident that he could win, and the purity of the Mind-Concentrating Pill he refined was as high as 90%.

The Mind-Concentrating Pill can stabilize the soul and enhance mental strength, and many cultivators present are coveting it.

Zhi Tianqing smiled, but his smile was a little scary, "Third-grade Tongtian Pill, purity is 85%." Tongtian Pill can open up the meridians and improve the aptitude for cultivation. It has miraculous effects on ordinary people with poor aptitude, but it can only be refined by third-grade alchemists, and ordinary cultivators usually have no chance to see third-grade alchemists.

There is a herb called Chuantian Teng in Tongtian Pill. The growing conditions of this herb are extremely harsh. This precious fire-attributed spiritual plant in Baicao Garden is only found in Yang Xiuzhi's inner garden.

"Chen Xuyan wins." Zhi Tianqing announced the result.

Ji Yinghuai took two steps back in disbelief. He walked to the alchemy furnace and touched the ashes without saying anything.

It is really so.

Sword cultivators can fight across boundaries, and alchemy cultivators can skip levels and refine pills. He really lost.

Huang Shang stared at Chen Xuyan on the stage in disbelief. He was completely different from what she had remembered. His strength had improved so much that she couldn't even compare to him now. No, not only would she not find a chance to harm him now, but she had to leave Xuanfu Lingzong as soon as possible. He would definitely seek revenge on her!

She had originally infiltrated the Xuanfu Lingzong by borrowing someone else's identity, so it was only a matter of time before something bad happened. She should return to the Qingyun Sect. Although the limited resources had been diluted among the other brothers and sisters driven back by the Tianyan Xianzong, she was still favored.

Huang Shang quietly left the fighting stage, mentally planning a route to escape from Xuanfu Lingzong.

Chen Xuyan, who had allocated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to her, naturally noticed Huang Shang's movements.

Chen Xuyan said to Yuan Junyue beside him, "I have to go out for something. Please go up and collect the reward for me later."

"Okay, you must be careful." Yuan Junyue seemed to have come to his senses this time and didn't say much.

At the foot of the steep cliff on the back mountain.

"Damn it, why can't I use spiritual power on this road?" Huang Shang tore off the hem that was in the way.

Xuanfu Lingzong was just too busy. Even the menial disciples had to wear these complicated clothes, making it inconvenient to walk anywhere outside of Xuanfu Lingzong. Did they really think about this? It wasn't like every place in Xuanfu Lingzong was covered in teleportation arrays.

Huang Shang chose to go down the mountain from here because there were no disciples on duty for registration like in the previous mountain.

What she didn't know was that the Xuanfu Lingzong's great formation would record all information coming in and out, even records from thousands of years ago.

Chen Xuyan quickly caught up with her. Although he couldn't use his spiritual power, he could still use his internal energy. Ever since he got the Wuxiang Heart Sutra, he had been cultivating his internal energy intentionally or unintentionally. Although he couldn't increase his internal energy much in a short period of time, it was enough for him to catch up with "ordinary people."

Huang Shang started to regret her steps just one-fifth of the way there, and she leaned against the wall to rest.

Hearing footsteps, Huang Shang turned around in shock.

Why is Chen Xuyan here?

No, he couldn't recognize her. She was wearing a high-grade disguise magic treasure given to her by Huang Gongwang. Only cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage could see her true face. She had just heard other disciples say that Chen Xuyan was only at the Golden Core stage.

Huang Shang forced himself to remain calm and said, "Who are you?"

Chen Xuyan said sarcastically, "Senior Sister is so short-sighted. We've been in the same sect for several years, and yet you still can't recognize me?"

"I want to ask, where are you going?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know you, so where did you get the senior sister?" Huang Shang swallowed and secretly took out something from his sleeve.

How could he recognize himself?

Huang Shang seemed to take two small steps forward unintentionally, and then suddenly took out a poisoned pocket knife and stabbed Chen Xuyan.

"Heh." Chen Xuyan moved sideways, snatched her knife, and stabbed her in the chest with the knife.

She refused to resign herself to her fate and tried to retrieve the elixir from her storage ring, but even that required spiritual energy. Chen Xuyan watched coldly as she endured the pain for half an hour before finally dying. The medicine was a good choice; it maintained a certain level of vitality, yet required immense pain. Just when you thought you still had hope of survival, you were already dying.

After Huang Shang died, a mark from a cultivator in the fusion stage on her body marked Chen Xuyan.

"Want to seek revenge on me?" This sign can be broken by finding a cultivator who has reached the fusion stage or above.

But Chen Xuyan did not think of hiding. Instead, he hoped that they would come to him for revenge as soon as possible, so that he would not have to go back to Qingyun Sect to find them one by one.

He sprinkled a handful of corpse powder on Huang Shang's body and only went back up the mountain after seeing the body completely disappear.

It's time to go back.

Chen Xuyan went straight back to his own courtyard, because today's competition was almost over at this time, and Yuan Junyue should be back soon.

It didn't take long before Yuan Junyue appeared in the yard.

"How is it?" Yuan Junyue asked.

"Kill him." Chen Xuyan took the storage talisman paper handed over by Yuan Junyue.

He used his spiritual sense to take a look at the things inside. They were quite good, all high-level talismans, talisman formations, and even some spiritual herbs unique to the Xuanfu Lingzong.

Yuan Junyue then followed him into the room, "That's good."

"I'm telling you, it's a good thing you left early. Many people want your help in refining pills, and the rewards are very generous. I've written down the ones I think are valuable, and you can contact them when you have time."

Chen Xuyan took a pill to restore his strength. "Aren't you worried about your own competition tomorrow?"

Yuan Junyue shook his head and said, "I'm not worried. After all, I'm far behind you. As long as I improve every time, that's all that matters. My brother also said so."

Not only that, his brother will come to watch him play tomorrow!

"That's good." He didn't expect that his brother had such a great influence on him. Yuan Junyue probably hasn't realized yet that his mentality has changed a lot.

With his physical strength restored, Chen Xuyan felt that his spirits had also improved a lot.

He looked at the list carefully, and a few names caught his eye. Among these people, there were actually taskers?

As soon as Chen Xuyan came in, he used props to conceal his real name. These people actually used their real names without any concealment. It seemed that they were very confident.

Since I'm free in the next few days, it's time to meet.

How could the tasker be short of elixirs? It was all just an excuse, just to see his background.

——Tianyan Immortal Sect

Zhongli Quan had actually arrived at Tianyan Xianzong two days earlier, but Bu Xuanfeng had remained in the forbidden area. Actually, Zhongli Quan had a way to sneak in. The formations inside were still the ones he had taught them to set up back then, and although there were some changes, it wasn't a big deal for him.

He had considered kidnapping Yang Xiuzhi and asking him to agree to let Chen Xuyan become his disciple, but Yang Xiuzhi was, after all, an elder of the Baicao Garden of the Tianyan Immortal Sect. He had to give face to both Bu Xuanfeng and Baicao Garden.

After all, Xuanfu Lingzong still needs Baicao Garden to supply elixirs, and he doesn't have time to refine these useless pills every day, and there are so many of them.

Bu Xuanfeng didn't need to practice in seclusion. He was in the same Tribulation Crossing Stage as himself. So why did he stay in the back mountain for so long? Just for that long-dormant sword?

It didn't wake up at the critical moment five hundred years ago, so how could it wake up now?

Bu Xuanfeng came out.

The two men looked up and met eyes. "Brother Zhongli, what is this?"

Zhongli Quan told the story with a smile.

——There are only three days left in the Xuanfu Lingzong competition.

Chen Xuyan was invited to meet Kong Jie.

It was very simple for him to choose Kong Jie. According to the information Jiang Xuan gave him, Kong Jie did not have any magical or pseudo-artifacts on him. He made it to the list based on his own abilities. The most important thing was that he was very sincere.

Kong Jie's name also used props to conceal his real name. Their names would be automatically hidden in the eyes of the tasker, but in order to cooperate with Chen Xuyan, he chose to confess his true identity.

What exactly is the reason that makes a lone wolf tasker choose to actively seek cooperation?

Chen Xuyan was confused, so he decided to go check it out. The rest of the group seemed to be testing his true identity, so there was no need to meet.

—— Golden Palace

Huaisu used her last bit of strength to return to her room, closed the door and knelt on the ground. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and took a while to relax.

After a while, Huaisu took out the medicine she had bought at the mall from her space and swallowed it in one gulp. In just a few seconds, she felt like she was alive again. The moment she stood up, she put away her concealment props and changed into her own clothes.

"How could the Xuanfu Lingzong's formation be so powerful?" She was almost caught, but fortunately she had always been cautious.

The strength of these natives really cannot be underestimated. They have been cultivating for thousands of years and are not only protected by the special luck of the small world, but their own strength is definitely far beyond that of others.

No wonder Moyun and Xuan Xijing fell into these hands. Although they weren't dead, they looked no better. Zhi Tianqing from the Ghost Palace, unable to capture her, immediately killed her. Seeing this, the others also used killing moves.

There was a knock on the door soon.

Huaisu waited for a while before opening the door.

Yuan Junyao stood at the door and said, "Excuse me, a thief broke into the sect unexpectedly just now and stole the talisman book. The sect still hasn't found the thief, so we need to check everyone now."

"We need you to cooperate with us in the inspection."

Huaisu pretended to be impatient and asked, "How do I check it?"

"The thief was injured, so he must have taken some special kinds of elixirs. You can find out by putting your hand in this magic array." Yuan Junyao raised his hand, and a magic array began to expand from the palm of his hand.

Huaisu put his hand on it, but the magic circle did not respond.

"I'm sorry." Yuan Junyao nodded.

"It's okay. It's always good to help you." Huaisu closed the door.

Yuan Junyao continued to search the rooms one by one as if nothing had happened. During this time, Huaisu secretly checked that he was not targeting her alone, so she felt relieved.

The medicine produced in the Lord God's World is indeed reliable. Fortunately, she did not take any elixirs.

Yuan Junyao left the yard, raised his hand to draw a teleportation array, and the next moment he appeared in the Ghost Palace.

Zhi Tianqing was waiting for him.

"It's confirmed. Huaisu, the disciple of the Tianyan Immortal Sect's leader, is also an outsider." Zhi Tianqing had deliberately let her go from the very beginning.

Yuan Junyao had been quietly following her, even following her outside the courtyard, though he wasn't sure which room she had entered. So the test was fake; confirming her identity was the real deal. Only outsiders possessed drugs that couldn't be detected, while those who were found to have consumed the drug wouldn't be suspected.

In order to make her completely relax her vigilance, Yuan Junyao even deliberately captured several outer disciples of Xuanfu Lingzong outside the Jinque Palace, as well as some inner disciples of Tianyan Xianzong who had witnesses and would be released soon.

Zhi Tianqing was a ghost cultivator, and his smile was very ghostly. "When did the Sect Master say we can catch him?"

"No, I'm afraid I need to inform Sect Master Bu." Yuan Junyao lowered his head.

"Hmph." That meant there was no hope, Zhi Tianqing turned and left.

Yuan Junyao returned to Changsheng Palace to report.

After hearing what he said, Liu Fufeng was not surprised. This was the way the Xuanfu Ling Sect had always been. These people didn't care about the so-called interests of the sect at all. It was bad at the root, and these old men still hadn't died yet.

"He is just interested in these people's 'props'. If he goes too far, someone will take care of him." Liu Fufeng smiled softly.

The Xuanfeng Spiritual Sect was originally a sect made up of a bunch of lunatics. Although they were the strongest, each one wanted to see the other suffer more than the other.

"Huaisu doesn't have the courage to go into the back mountain again for the time being, but we must pay close attention to her every move in the sect." Liu Fufeng felt that there were still outsiders who had not been discovered by them.

"Yes, I will definitely pay more attention to it." Yuan Junyao began to think about another problem.

Seeing that he was reluctant to leave, Liu Fufeng began to wonder, "What else?"

Yuan Junyao hesitated and said, "I have a younger brother at home who is a disciple of the Tianyan Immortal Sect."

"Do you want to see him off?" Liu Fufeng frowned.

Yuan Junyao nodded, "Yes."

"Why can't I tell you this? Would I eat people?" Yuan Junyao's personality really didn't please her.

"Go and deliver it."

Yuan Junyao quickly left the hall.

This was the first time that Liu Fufeng received a spiritual message from Zhongli Quan.

Zhongli Quan actually used the spiritual jade that he had given him a thousand years ago? Liu Fufeng paced anxiously on the spot. He glanced down at the spiritual message again and began to urge Hua Jiuyao.

Another person soon appeared in the hall.

"Master, what is it that you want? Let's go to the back mountain together?"

"Is there any need to ask? Of course it's to accept a disciple." Hua Jiuyao raised his hand, stretched out his fingers and drew something in the air. A huge magic circle soon appeared in front of him.

After the magic circle was drawn, Hua Jiuyao gently pushed it away with his fingers.

Chen Xuyan was studying talismans in the room at this time. His feet flashed slightly, and he didn't expect that the next second he appeared in an unfamiliar hall with the table.

He stood up and looked at the two people in front of him blankly.
