Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

Helian paused slightly as he gently waved the jade fan, and glanced at each of the seven people in front of him.

The other sect disciples also looked at Helian Zheng, waiting for his answer.

Helian Zheng felt the gazes of the people around him, but his expression did not change. Instead, he asked, "Who is the most powerful among you?"

Mu Qingli also replied with the same smile: "Me."

The voice was very short and powerful. Helian Zheng thought he had misheard and looked at Mu Qingli again.

Mu Qingli met his gaze, and the smile on his face faltered, but he quickly adjusted himself: "Since you are the best, how about I challenge you?"

The other disciples were not surprised by his choice, and their urging eyes turned to Mu Qingli again.

Mu Qingli didn't say that he would not challenge, but changed the subject: "I have been hiding my identity because I don't want to be special. Now that my identity has been exposed, someone has stepped forward to challenge me.

It’s not that I don’t accept challenges, but there are so many people here. How can someone challenge us every day? It will seriously disturb the purpose of our coming here.

So, to save you some trouble, I'll make a rule here -

If you want to challenge us, you can pay ten Emperor-level Exorcist Pills for each challenge."

After these words were spoken, the scene fell silent for a moment, but only for a moment before everyone started talking again.

This is the alien territory, and the exorcism pill is the most precious thing, and can even save lives at critical moments.

Ten emperor-level exorcism pills are really too expensive.

Helian Zheng's smiling face froze. He was in a dilemma and didn't have many exorcism pills left.

He just wanted to spar with her, but she wanted to take away half of his protective pills.

But he had already said it. If he gave up because of the ten exorcism pills, he would be looked down upon by everyone.

He also understood the purpose of Mu Qingli's words - he spoke in public, forcing Mu Qingli to accept the challenge. Mu Qingli also used this method to turn the tables on him, and at the same time suppressed other thoughts of wanting to challenge.

Helian Zheng's heart ached so much that it felt like it was bleeding, but he still pretended to be calm: "Okay, isn't it just ten Emperor-level Exorcist Pills? I'll give them to you. But if you fail later, don't cry. I'll just treat those ten Exorcist Pills as a joke."

Mu Qingli couldn't help but shudder when he heard his next words. It was a bit too disgusting.

However, everyone else's focus was on his previous sentence. He was actually willing to hand over the elixir, which was really generous.

After he finished speaking, he still seemed unsatisfied and could not help but continue, "When you came here, didn't the Sect Master prepare the Exorcism Pill for you? Why would he let you earn the pills on your own?"

This sentence is very cleverly said. No matter whether the master is the sect leader or the elder, they will only send you into the alien territory and will not prepare elixirs for you. At most, they will tell you to prepare them in advance.

There are generally only two situations in which people don't prepare elixirs: one is that they are very strong and the demonic energy can be discharged from their bodies on its own; the other is that they don't have spirit stones and cannot afford to buy exorcism pills.

He was clearly using a caring tone to imply that Mu Qingli and the others were poor.

Luo Yu rolled his eyes when he heard this: "It's just a few exorcism pills, we don't care. The reason we set this threshold is that we don't want to deal with your boring challenges. If everyone wants to challenge us, do we still need to catch the demons?"

Helian Zheng was choked again, and secretly took note of it in his heart, thinking that he would vent all his anger during the challenge later.

Miao Hongfang had not accepted me as his direct disciple before, so this time I defeated his direct disciple, which made me feel proud.

He had very beautiful thoughts in his mind, and even imagined Miao Hongfang's look of deep regret. Unfortunately, his fantasy was brought back by a cold voice.

"Will you challenge me again?"

Helian Zheng nodded immediately: "Of course I want to spar with you."

Mu Qingli extended his hand towards him: "Then give me the pill first."

Helian Zheng looked at the hand that Mu Qingli extended to him, and was a little reluctant to give him the pill.

But everyone was watching, and they heard what he had just said, so he had no choice but to hand over the pill with a painful heart.

When taking out the pills, Helian Zheng counted them several times, as if he was afraid that he would give Mu Qingli one extra.

Mu Qingli simply glanced at it and found that the quantity was correct, so he threw the pills to Luo Yu: "Take it."

Luo Yu took a look at the pill. The quality was not very good and could not compare with the one refined by Mu Qingli.

Luo Yu casually threw the pill into the space bag, looking as disgusted as he could be.

Helian Zheng felt a pang of pain when he saw his movements, but he still managed to maintain a gentle smile on his face: "I wonder if Junior Sister Mu would be willing to start a competition with me?"

"Of course." Mu Qingli was in a very good mood seeing that he was in pain but had to maintain a smile.

Seeing that Mu Qingli said this but did not take any action, Helian Zheng could not help but ask, "Aren't we going to the arena?"

Mu Qingli didn’t know there was a fighting arena here, and she originally wanted to fight directly here.

"Where is the ring?"

Seeing Mu Qingli's clueless look, Helian Zheng felt that coming here to challenge him today was a wrong decision.

He had to lead the way and brought Mu Qingli and others to the vicinity of the ring.

Along the way, people who heard the news rushed over one after another, wanting to see what was so special about the sect leader's disciple that made him so impressed.

When the two men stood on the ring, the area below the ring was already surrounded by a crowd of people.

Someone who didn't know the situation saw the two people coming on stage and couldn't help but ask, "You said Helian Zheng was going to challenge that woman? But that woman's cultivation isn't even as high as Helian Zheng's! Isn't this clearly bullying?"

The insider replied: "The woman in red is the sect leader's personal disciple."

Just this one sentence made those people suddenly realize.

The sect leader's disciple, this explains it.

Xiao Lingyi and others stood aside, looking very relaxed, not worried about Mu Qingli at all. In their opinion, if Mu Qingli faced Helian Zheng, he would be able to get rid of him in minutes.

At this time, Tang Xiyang had finished telling Pang Bei about the demon clan's plan and was pushed to the arena by the crowd. He saw Mu Qingli from a distance.

Although Mu Qingli only showed a few simple skills in front of him, judging from the fact that Mu Qingli could easily deal with the big demon, an ordinary mid-level Spirit Emperor would not be her opponent.

So Tang Xiyang wasn't too worried. When he finally squeezed next to Xiao Lingyi and the others, he cheered for Mu Qingli from below: "Li'er, come on!"

Mu Qingli moved his head and nodded gently at him, then looked at Helian Zheng: "Since you are challenging me, then you go first."
