A Demon’s Path

The selection of the next master of the Tiancao Sect is definitely a major event that affects the entire Tianhun Continent, Ling Xiao can tell from the fact that the rooms of the Tiancao Sect are full.

Whether it is the big four families or other sects of gods and demons, they have all sent representatives to come. They come to celebrate the next suzerain in name, but they actually come to watch.

Before Ling Xiao arrived, tens of thousands of people from nearly a thousand families and sects had already arrived at the Amakusa Sect.

It wasn't until Ling Xiao stood on the Tiancao Sect's alchemy square and saw these tens of thousands of people that he realized how influential the Tiancao Sect was.

With so many people watching the four of them, that feeling is really ecstatic.

Everyone knew that the old man Amakusa had four direct disciples, but they did not expect that among them, Lan Sen from the Lan family did not come. The one who took his place was Ling Xiao, whom not many people knew.

The old man Amakusa stood in the center of the medicine refining square with a happy face, and said loudly to everyone: "Thank you all friends from Tianhun Continent for participating and witnessing the birth of the next suzerain of my Amakusa Sect. The post sent by the suzerain has already said very well. It is clear, among these five disciples, choose one to succeed me as suzerain."

Although the old man Amakusa said five, there were only four on the field. This made some people who don't know why can't help thinking: Is one of the candidates killed by his fellow disciples because of competition?

The old man Amakusa ignored what they were thinking about, and continued: "This time, after the sect elects the next suzerain, the suzerain will leave the Amakusa sect and live in seclusion with his wife. Everything about the Amakusa sect will be in charge of the new suzerain. Friends from the Tianhun Continent must continue to support the Tiancao Sect."

"That's natural."

"The old suzerain is polite."

There were well-intentioned echoes from all directions, and the old man Amakusa accepted them one by one with a smile on his face: "Okay, now the suzerain announces that the medicine refining competition has officially started..."

"Master, I haven't come yet, why are you so anxious?"

A gloomy voice suddenly appeared, the old man Amakusa frowned, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Among the crowd, as soon as Lan Ting saw that person, his expression changed immediately: "Lan Sen!"

Accompanied by a priest in white robes, Lan Sen walked to the center of the alchemy square.

Lan Sen's appearance overwhelmed the limelight of Ling Xiao, Qing Zhaolong and the others. Even if three of the four of them came here with divine beasts, how could any of them be sent by the white-robed priest of the Tower of Gods and Demons himself?

Everyone was very curious, which one of the ten priests was this white-robed priest?

However, what made everyone even more surprised was that the white-robed priest walked up to the old man Amakusa and even bowed respectfully to the old man Amakusa: "Senior brother."

Wow! The audience was in an uproar.

This white-robed priest turned out to be the younger brother of the old man Amakusa?

"It turned out to be Priest Ren." Some guys who were familiar with gossip in Tianhun Continent immediately knew the identity of this white-robed priest, and quietly told other people around him.

Although few people have seen the deity, the reputation of the top ten priests is known to everyone in the Tianhun Continent.

Moreover, Priest Ren is still the younger brother of the old man Amakusa, and he brought Lan Sen here, what does this mean?

The affairs of the four great families in Tianhun Continent cannot be concealed from others, and Lan Sen's actions have already spread throughout the entire Tianhun Continent. When everyone despises his behavior, the white-robed priest dared to bring him to compete for the successor of the Amakusa Sect. The meaning of this is already very obvious.

In the past, Lan Sen represented the Lan family, but now Lan Sen represents the tower of gods and demons.

As long as Lan Sen wins the position of the suzerain of the Tiancao Sect, the Caozong will have to change its surname to "Tower of Gods and Demons" that day.

Judging by Priest Ren's appearance, it seems that he has taught Lan Sen a lot. Lan Sen is the leader of the two families. It seems that this time, he must win.

The people who came to watch the excitement thought that the winner must be one of the three great families, but with Lan Sen's sudden entry, the weather vane in everyone's hearts pointed to him again.

Not many people are optimistic about Ling Xiao, except for the group of dead followers that Ling Xiao brought.

The old man Amakusa nodded towards Priest Ren, the two of them still have a brotherhood, even though they fought fiercely in secret, they were still very polite on the surface.

"Lan Sen, I originally accepted you as a disciple because you were of the blood of the Lan family. I won't say much about what happened a while ago. Originally, I eliminated your quota this time, but I gave my junior and the gods and demons To save face, allow you to continue participating in this competition."

Lan Sen smiled sinisterly: "Then I should thank Master."

"The time has come, let's start." Priest Ren didn't seem to want to stay any longer, and couldn't wait to finish the game as soon as possible.

The old man Amakusa nodded: "I believe that you have prepared all the materials needed to refine the elixir. It will be limited to three hours. Whoever refines the most advanced elixir will be the winner. The winner will be determined in one game." , you have to grasp it."

"Yes, Master." Ling Xiao and the other four responded at the same time.

The old man Amakusa looked at the five of them with a serious face: "This suzerain announces that the medicine refining competition has officially started!"

As the timekeeping hourglass began to flow, the five of Ling Xiao moved at the same time.

Among these five people, Qing Zhaolong, Bai Linyu and Huang Zonghui used the same method of opening the furnace, which was also the standardized method of opening the furnace of the Tiancao sect.

This method of opening the furnace not only ensures that the fire heats up quickly, but also does not make the fire too fierce, maintaining an excellent balanced state.

As a pharmacist, this method of opening the furnace is the most scientific and direct.

However, the way Ling Xiao and Lan Sen opened the furnace not only surprised those who were not very proficient in alchemy, even the old man Amakusa and the brother Ren Jishi were shocked.

The method Ling Xiao and Lan Sen used was to immediately raise the temperature of the furnace to the highest level to speed up the speed of refining medicine.

Such a method requires strong mental strength and superb fire control technology. If there is a slight carelessness, it will either go off the fire or fry the furnace.

These two people used this extreme method of opening the furnace at the same time without any adverse reactions, which attracted many alchemists from the same school to exclaim.

When Priest Gui saw Ling Xiao's method of refining medicine, he couldn't help but sneered: "Brother, don't you always dislike swords taking the wrong edge? Why is this apprentice teaching the same as mine?"

The old man Amakusa looked puzzled, shook his head and said, "I didn't teach him this technique."

Ling Xiao's technique was indeed not taught by the old man Amakusa, but Ling Xiao figured it out by himself after delving into the medicine refining techniques of his apprentices.

In other words, Ling Xiao's comprehension made him comprehend the essence of Priest Gui's method of refining medicine: the sword is slanted.

Seeing that the appearance of the old man Amakusa did not seem to be fake, Priest Gui couldn't help but nodded appreciatively: "Brother, you are a good apprentice. In the future, he will surpass us and catch up with Master, just around the corner."

Although Priest Gui brought Lan Sen to the competition, he didn't think highly of this idiot.

Of course, Priest Gui didn't expect that one of his senior disciples had such talent, so he couldn't help but become curious.

For a moment, Priest Gui and the old man Amakusa both turned their gazes to Ling Xiao.

At this moment, Ling Xiao was completely absorbed in refining the medicine, and did not notice the surrounding situation.

He felt that he did a good job in the first step of turning on the furnace, and the second step was like flowing clouds and flowing water, and he came at his fingertips.

The second step, of course, is to put in the medicinal materials.

Ling Xiao and Lan Sen were one minute faster than the other three in the first session, and they were also the first two to start the second session.

Above this link, Ling Xiao once again stole the limelight from the other four.

Although Renhao has taught Lan Sen for more than two months, Lan Sen is still accustomed to the method of stacking medicinal materials due to years of accumulation.

It took Ling Xiao two hours, first to forget the method of dispensing medicinal materials of the Tiancao Sect, and then to develop a new method by himself, which complements the method of refining medicine of the Tiancao Sect, and integrates the method of dispensing medicinal materials that is both safe and fast.

Even Ren Jiji couldn't help secretly applauding that this method surpassed the Amakusa sect's method in speed, and surpassed himself in accuracy and stability.

"This kid's talent for refining medicine is really amazing. Could it be that everyone in the Ling family is so amazing?"

Even if priest Ren kept his ears to the outside world, he still knew Ling Xiao's identity. Otherwise, this time he would not come in person.

Priest Ren was very curious, what is so outstanding about this boy who has the blood and soul of the master of the gods and souls and the master of the devil's soul, that he can let his proud senior brother Amakusa personally accept him as a disciple.

Looking at it now, this kid is indeed extraordinary, worthy of his senior brother handing over the Tiancao sect to this kid.

However, Priest Ren also noticed that although the boy was very proficient in refining medicine, compared to the other four, he was still a little lacking.

After all, that kid is too young. In just over ten years of refining medicine, no matter how proficient in operation it is, they can't compare to those four guys who have been disciples of the old man Tiancao for thousands of years.

"Who will win?" Priest Ren showed a rare smile and continued to watch the game with great interest.

In terms of the refining process, Ling Xiao and Lan Sen were still one step ahead.

Of course, whether one can win does not depend on who can refine it quickly, but the most important thing depends on who can refine the highest level of elixir within these three hours.

Others couldn't see clearly the medicinal materials that Ling Xiao and the other five put in, but Ren Jiji and the old man Amakusa could see clearly.

Priest Ren didn't even need to look at Lan Sen's medicinal materials to know that that guy was refining the purple-level three soul elixir Wanhun Dan that he taught him.

The other three were also refining the elixir of the purple-level three souls. If they were of the same level, the elixir that was refined by the other three would be shorter and finer.

However, the medicinal materials that Ling Xiao put in surprised the old man Amakusa and Priest Ren.

The medicinal material that kid put in turned out to be the most common purple grade elixir, Zipo Pill!
