Alchemist Sword Sect

Zi Family Hall.

Zi's ​​father sat at the top and said to Lu Chen with a smile: "Nephew Lu Xian is really powerful. No wonder he can become the deputy master of Xuantian Sword Sect's Dan Pavilion."

"This junior is lucky, Uncle Zi deserves the reward." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Well, I wonder if nephew Lu Xian can participate in the martial arts competition on behalf of my Zi family?" Zi's father asked hesitantly.

"Junior is willing." Lu Chen replied.

"Okay, nephew Lu Xian is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness, which is admirable." Zi's father said with great joy. He saw Lu Chen's strength with his own eyes, and thought that even a heavenly monk was no match for Lu Chen. If he participated in the martial arts competition, he would definitely be able to win the competition for the Zi family.

"Uncle Zi, I want to ask you something." Lu Chen said with cupped hands.

"Nephew Lu Xian, it's okay to say so." Zi's father said.

"Junior, I heard that the Zi family is good at fairy medicine. I wonder if there is a fairy medicine like Pluto Flower?" Lu Chen asked.

"Nephew Lu wants to find the Pluto Flower?" Zi's father said in surprise, 'This is a death-attribute elixir that ordinary monks cannot use. Nephew Lu has not cultivated the power of death. Could it be that there is another use for this flower? ’

"Not bad." Lu Chen did not deny it.

"To be honest with nephew Lu Xian, my Zi family does not have the Pluto flower, but I know where it is." Zi's father said.

"Uncle Zi, please let me know." Lu Chen stood up and bowed.

"This place is in the Heavenly Slaughter Valley." Zi's father said.

"Uncle Zi, may I ask where Tiansha Valley is today?" Lu Chen asked.

"Brother Lu, this Heavenly Slaughter Valley is a secret realm shared by our Zi family, Lin family, and Yuan family." Zi Chongxiao suddenly said.

"That's right." Zi's father nodded and said, 'If you really want the Pluto Flower, nephew Lu Xian, after the martial arts competition between the three clans is over, our Zi family can give you a place to enter the Heavenly Slaughter Valley. ’

"Junior, thank you Uncle Zi, thank you Brother Zi." Lu Chen bowed his hands and thanked him.

"No, Nephew Lu Xian is helping my Zi family. It's our duty to help you." Zi's father smiled. Zi Chongxiao also nodded.

"Humph, father, I think he came here just for the Pluto Flower." At this moment, Ziyuan suddenly walked in, glanced at Lu Chen and said.

"Miss Ziyuan misunderstood. Before this, Lu Chen didn't know that there was a Pluto Flower in the Valley of Heaven." Lu Chen said with a bitter smile.

"Hmph, you don't know if you don't know?" Ziyuan snorted.

"Ziyuan, Brother Lu is telling the truth. When I invited him before, I didn't mention the Heavenly Slaughter Valley." Zi Chongxiao explained.

"Brother, as the saying goes, you know people but don't know their hearts. I think you should be careful about him." Ziyuan said.

"Miss Ziyuan, forgive Lu Chen for offending. It's not Lu Chen you should be careful about, but your senior brother." Lu Chen said calmly.

"Lu Chen, you bastard, you have the nerve to say that it was just a competition, and you severely injured Senior Brother Chen Qi. You are so abominable." Ziyuan said angrily, "I think you did it on purpose. Instead of Senior Brother Chen Qi participated in the martial arts competition, and then took the opportunity to ask my father to enter the Valley of Heavenly Slaughter. Your thoughts are really vicious. ’

"Miss Ziyuan, you can decide what is right or wrong freely. You will understand whether Lu Chen has ulterior motives in the future." Lu Chen said calmly.

"You..." Ziyuan felt that her lungs were about to explode when Lu Chen said this.

"Okay, Ziyuan, you sit down first and let's test the sword without eyes. I think it's not intentional for my father to think that nephew Lu Xian is not doing it on purpose." Zi's father said hurriedly.

"Lu Chen, you are so abominable. I didn't expect that both my father and my eldest brother were deceived by you." Ziyuan glared at Lu Chen angrily.

"Ziyuan (sister)..." Zi's father and Zi Chongxiao both changed their expressions when they heard this, but before they could finish their words, they were interrupted by Lu Chen, "Uncle Zi." Brother Zi, since Miss Ziyuan misunderstood me so much, Lu Chen should quit and be replaced by Miss Ziyuan's senior brother. ’

"Okay, this is what you said, don't break your promise." Ziyuan said with a glare.

"I, Mr. Lu Chen, say something that is hard to follow, so I will do what I say." Lu Chen said calmly.

"You...you have the guts." Zi Yuan was intimidated by Lu Chen's aura, and her heart beat a little faster. She glared at him fiercely, then turned to Zi's father and said, "Father, don't worry, Senior Brother Chen Qi will definitely be able to help." Our Zi family won the first level of the martial arts competition. ’

"Alas." Zi's father and Zi Chongxiao's father and son looked at each other and sighed. Now that the matter has come to this, they can't force Lu Chen anymore.

However, Zi's father felt very guilty. He stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Nephew Lu Xian, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Brother Zi, and please forgive Ziyuan for her disrespect."

"Brother Lu, I'm sorry." Zi Chongxiao also said.

"Uncle Zi, Brother Zi, you don't need to do this. Lu Chen just didn't want to be insulted, so he made this decision. Please forgive me." Lu Chen stood up and said.

"Damn it, how can you, this guy, be able to make my father and eldest brother apologize to you in person?" Ziyuan said with a look of reluctance.

"Ziyuan, shut up." Zi's father scolded.

"Father, you actually hurt me for an outsider?" Ziyuan's eyes turned red, she shed tears of grievance, turned around and ran outside.

"Ziyuan, Ziyuan." Zi's father called Ziyuan several times, but did not call Ziyuan back. He couldn't help but sigh and said to Zi Chongxiao, "Chongxiao, take Nephew Lu down to rest first. Remember, you must take good care of yourself." Treat nephew Lu Xian. ’

"Father, don't worry."

Zi Chongxiao nodded and said to Lu Chen: "Brother Lu, let's go down and rest first."

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded, looking as usual. After all, this is a family matter of the Zi family. He is an outsider and it is not easy for him to interfere. However, the little girl Ziyuan is kind-hearted, innocent and cute, and easily trusts others. I am afraid she will suffer in the future.

However, Lu Chen knew that Ziyuan didn't believe him at all, and made him angry instead. He turned to Zi Chongxiao and said apologetically: "Brother Zi, I have brought you trouble."

"Brother Lu, you are trying to offend me! I originally asked you to help me, but I didn't expect that you would be wronged. I should apologize to you." Zi Chongxiao said with shame, "Don't worry. I will give Ziyuan good advice, and she will naturally understand that what you said is right in the future. ’

"It seems that Brother Zi has doubts about Chen Qi?" Lu Chen said with a smile.

"That Chen Qi has a stubborn head, thin lips and hard ears. He is not a good person at first glance. Zi Yuan is young and has little experience, so the red sun man will be easily deceived by him." Zi Chongxiao sighed.

"I didn't expect Brother Zi to judge people by their appearance, but I agree with this." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Brother Lu, please stop teasing me. This girl Ziyuan has an extraordinary talent for self-control, so she is extremely proud. In addition, my father and I dote on her, so she has developed this character. Now even my father and I can't control her. Yes." Zi Chongxiao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"She will understand in the future." Lu Chen said.

"This girl is really annoying." Zi Chongxiao shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Lu, you will definitely win this martial arts competition. It's a pity. I'm worried about this now." ’

"Brother Zi, don't worry. Although Chen Qi has evil intentions, he does have extraordinary strength. There should be few people in the same realm who can match him." Lu Chen comforted.

"Isn't there someone like that He Ling?" Zi Chongxiao said.

"Haha, Brother Zi is worrying too much. He Ling is from Tianlingxian State. There is no one like him in Dongji State." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Since he is from Tianlingxian State?" Zi Chongxiao was surprised and said, 'I thought he was a monk from our Dongji State. If that is the case, I will be relieved. ’

"Well, coupled with your sister's alchemy skills, your Zi family has a high chance of winning in this competition." Lu Chen nodded.

"Brother Lu, we are here. You will stay here temporarily for the next few days. If you need anything, just tell me. You're welcome. Just treat this place as your home." At this moment, Zi Chongxiao Er People came to a two-story attic. The courtyard was unique, with flowers and fragrant trees. The attic was also in line with Feng Shui, quiet, elegant, and unique.

"Thank you Brother Zi." Lu Chen said with cupped hands. He is very satisfied with this place.

"I know that you like to be quiet and spend most of your time practicing, so I have arranged this place for you. There are dedicated bedrooms and training rooms on the second floor for you to use as you wish." Zi Chongxiao said.

Lu Chen, led by Zi Chongxiao, entered the attic. The layout inside was also very particular. The Eight Immortals table, incense burner, and hanging paintings were all available, and it was very comfortable.

"Thank you, Brother Zi." Lu Chen said.

"Brother Lu, as long as you are satisfied. You can rest for now and I won't disturb you. If you have anything, you can go to the opposite courtyard to find me." Zi Chongxiao said.

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded, watched Zi Chongxiao leave, then returned to the attic, looked at the surrounding layout, and couldn't help but sigh.

The original intention of coming to Zi's house this time was to help Zi Chongxiao, but unexpectedly, these things would happen because of Zi Yuan and his senior brother.

However, Lu Chen was still a little unhappy about being wronged by Ziyuan. After all, he didn't want to bear the injustice, even if he didn't get the Pluto Flower in the end, it didn't matter.

After thinking about it, Lu Chen began to practice swordsmanship.

After a battle with Gu Xiao and He Ling, he gained a deeper and deeper understanding of the Five Elements True Thunder Sword Technique, the Mofa Thunder Sword Technique, the Changing Heaven Sword Technique, the Zhengyang Thunder Technique, and the Destroying Ku Sword Technique. He believes that it won't take long to master it. All cultivated to the state of great success.

In addition to the three fourth-grade immortal swords given by Protector Lin, the power of various sword techniques will be greatly improved.

While he was practicing, Ziyuan was comforting Chen Qi in another courtyard of the Zi family.

"Senior Brother Chen Qi, Lu Chen decided to give up participating in the martial arts competition and gave the place to you." Ziyuan said.

"Junior Sister Ziyuan, is this true?" Chen Qi said in shock.

"Of course, can I still lie to you?" Ziyuan said with a smile.

"Why did he give up?" Chen Qi asked with a frown.

"Humph, because he came to our Zi family with ulterior motives, and I exposed him. What else can he do if he doesn't give up?" Zi Yuan said proudly. She told Chen Qi exactly what happened.

"Pluto Flower? Junior Sister Ziyuan, you are so smart. Lu Chen must be helping the Zi family because of the Pluto Flower. After all, this flower is a fifth-grade fairy medicine. If he can get it, wouldn't it be a huge fortune? Fortunately, If you, Junior Sister Ziyuan, stop me, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Chen Qi said angrily.

"I didn't expect you, Senior Brother Chen Qi, to think so. That's great. It's a pity that both my father and eldest brother feel that I have wronged him." Ziyuan said with a frown.

"Junior sister Ziyuan, you don't need to mind. Lu Chen is cunning and good at disguise. It's not surprising that my uncle and your eldest brother were deceived by him. As long as you let his plan fail, it will be fine." Chen Qi said.

"Senior Brother Chen Qi, you know what I'm thinking." Ziyuan nodded happily.

"By the way, Junior Sister Ziyuan, there was an elixir like Pluto Flower in the Valley of Death that day. I'm afraid there are other elixirs, right?" Chen Qi suddenly asked.

"Yes, in the Heavenly Slaughter Valley, the precious thing is not the various fairy medicines, but the Thousand Soul Liquid." Ziyuan nodded.

"Thousand Soul Liquid, the Thousand Soul Liquid that can enhance the power of the soul?" Chen Qi said in surprise.

"Well, Senior Brother Chen Qi, if you can help our Zi family win the martial arts competition, I will help you convince your father to give you a qualification for the Heavenly Slaughter Valley, and then you will be able to obtain the Thousand Soul Liquid." Ziyuan said.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Ziyuan, I will do my best to win victory for you and the Zi family." Chen Qi hurriedly patted his chest and promised. Ziyuan smiled brightly, as if she believed him.
