In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 224 A Fifth-Rank Alchemist? I've got him!

It has too much foundation, but that's the downside; the demand for resources is too high.

This is why Meng Han was so certain that his background was extraordinary. Without a large and powerful pool of resources, it would be impossible to achieve such strength at this age.

Putting aside talent, this level of ability itself implies a wealth of resources.

And that is indeed the case.

Along his cultivation journey, Shen Xing relied on the military force from the Human Federation to gather almost all the resources of the entire Wu Domain, including the entire Holy Lake Domain.

At least all dragon resources.

Not to mention, he also obtained quite a few good things from the Federation of Humanities.

His body, vital energy, and soul were all strengthened time and time again.

Some of the most top-tier resources even come from the hands of experts at the seventh realm.

It was on the basis of these enhancements that he achieved his current strength, which is naturally incomparable to the so-called prodigies of these forces that only have sixth-realm experts.

Therefore, he was very confident.

At this moment, Shen Xing put away the two fifth-grade pills and then looked at the fourth-grade pills, mainly the Nine-Patterned Golden Dragon Pill.

This type of pill is also the most numerous because its difficulty level spans the entire fourth-grade pill category and even covers the fifth grade.

For most factions, the greatest benefit of this elixir lies not in its ingredients, but in its effect on training alchemists.

It's likely that all the fifth-grade alchemists in the Tianyuan Sect were able to reach the fifth grade by refining this Nine-Patterned Golden Dragon Pill.

Therefore, the number is not small.

To show her sincerity, Meng Han brought a total of seven!

Apart from eight and nine patterns, all patterns from one to seven are available.

Shen Xing first took out a Golden Dragon Pill with one pattern and swallowed it directly.

Then his eyes lit up.

"Not bad, not bad."

He could clearly feel that after the pill entered his body, it rapidly integrated into his Yuan Power, and the speed of its refinement was no less than that of a mid-grade fourth-rank Crimson Dragon Soul Tempering Pill.

However, the Crimson Dragon Soul Tempering Pill also has a certain effect on strengthening the soul, which is something that this kind of pill cannot match.

However, if the sole purpose is to improve cultivation and accelerate progress in realms, then Shen Xing would choose the Nine-Patterned Golden Dragon Pill!

Moreover, this is only one mark.

Shen Xing got up and began to cultivate his martial arts intent while circulating his internal energy, resuming his arduous training.

For him, even just a month is enough to accelerate his improvement in strength.

However, he soon realized that living here without any attendants was obviously not as peaceful as staying in Dragon Valley.

In less than a week, his presence had already spread throughout the entire Tianyuan Sect.

Many disciples began to approach, wanting to see just how strong this outsider prodigy, who was rumored to have instantly killed all ten of their Tianyuan Sect's top disciples, really was.

At first, Shen Xing naturally didn't bother to pay any attention.

With the status of "Honored Guest of the Menghan Clan," ordinary disciples dare not act recklessly.

But a few days later, a divine sense from the Mountain and Sea Realm swept over.

This caused Shen Xing's expression to change slightly.

After leaving the training ground, they found that he was indeed a powerful expert at the Mountain and Sea Realm, accompanied by a young man with a serious expression.

Even Meng Han stood aside, her face full of helplessness.

"Young Master Shen," Meng Han introduced Shen Xing softly, "This is Dan Chengzi, an elder of the Alchemy Cultivation Sect of Tianyuan Sect, and this is Dan Chengzi's eldest disciple, Wu Ao, the number one true disciple of Tianyuan Sect. They have come today..."

"Alright, that's enough." Shen Xing's expression wasn't good, even when facing Shan Hai. "I should have said that you shouldn't disturb me during cultivation."

"Good lad." Dan Chengzi, with his full head of white hair and dignified appearance, was now glaring at Shen Xing, showing no elder's demeanor whatsoever. "You rejected Ao'er's challenge before, and now that I've come in person, are you still going to refuse?"

"Elder Dan Chengzi, I'm doing this for the sake of your disciple." Shen Xing looked at this formidable Mountain and Sea Realm expert, showing no fear whatsoever, even appearing calm and self-satisfied. "Your disciple is clearly arrogant and haughty. If he insists on comparing himself to me, aren't you afraid he'll be utterly crushed?"

Just those words made Wu Ao, who had been looking serious, blush.

That statement is incredibly humiliating!

It's not just about fundamentally underestimating his strength, but also about underestimating his mindset!

It can be utter contempt from beginning to end!

If his master hadn't been there, he would have spoken up long ago.

"You're quite confident," Dan Chengzi said, but he had a completely different opinion.

He was secretly surprised. Although he had heard a lot about him from Meng Han, he was not surprised at all that Meng Han would place her hopes on him after actually seeing him.

Putting aside his strength for the moment, just his composure in the face of mountains and seas suggests that he has an extraordinary background!

It takes a lot of experience to see mountains and seas, and even to get along with some people from the realm of mountains and seas on equal terms, to be able to do that!

And that is true.

Shen Xing had met Principal Hu before, and even called him Brother Hu, so they naturally treated each other as equals. In addition, he believed that he had the trump card of the flying shuttle and the jade talisman given to him by Brother Hu. Even if he faced a challenge from someone at the Mountain and Sea Realm, he could escape with ease, so there was no need for him to be nervous.

However, the more this is the case, the more attention such powerful individuals will pay to it.

If you're trembling with fear and anxiety from the start, then a mere third realm is simply not worth your attention.

"It's not that I'm confident, it's that he's overconfident." Shen Xing shook his head, then suddenly looked at the Dan Chengzi, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Senior, are you a fifth-grade alchemist?"

"Exactly." Dan Chengzi stroked his beard, looking rather smug.

Given his status, he was a level above all other sects in the entire Tianyuan Sect, which is why Meng Han dared not stop him.

Presumably, even in the background of this young man, a fifth-grade alchemist must hold a very important position.

However, Shen Xing's eyes lit up, and he said directly, "Since you've brought your disciple here, senior, you must have some confidence in me, right? How about adding a little prize?"

"Good lad." Dan Chengzi's hand trembled, and he blurted out, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

As soon as he said that, he felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw that his disciple's face had turned pale and he looked incredulous.

For a moment, there was a moment of silence.

To be honest, he never had much confidence in his disciple. After all, the fact that Meng Han chose to ask this person for help meant that he was very powerful in terms of both strength and background.

He only brought his most outstanding disciple along because he couldn't refuse.

"The prize I'm referring to certainly doesn't mean anything other than defeating him." Shen Xing finally took a good look at this man.

With the strength of a master at the third realm, his aura was solid and carried a faint dragon's might, clearly indicating that he was a martial artist who primarily used dragon-based techniques.

I'm afraid their strength in other areas is also considerable.

However...

"Three moves," Shen Xing said finally. "Since we're going to have a competition, let's see if I can defeat him within three moves. How about that? It'll put some pressure on me, so the competition isn't meaningless."

"Good lad!" This was the third time Dan Chengzi had said this, but this time his eyes twitched slightly.

They don't even need to look at their disciples' expressions to guess their reactions.

Sure enough, Wu Ao's face turned from white to red; he had reached his limit and said directly, "This is outrageous! If I can't defeat you within a hundred moves, I'll consider it a loss!"

"Your opinion doesn't count." Shen Xing then looked at Dan Chengzi. "What does Senior think?"

"."

Dan Chengzi could no longer feel anything; he had already begun to regret bringing his disciple along.

That's right, I already thought we might not be able to beat them, so why did I bring this kid along?

However, there's nothing that can be done now.

"Fine!" Dan Chengzi gritted his teeth.

Wu Ao's eyes lit up as he looked excitedly at his master.

Master still believes in him after all!

Then he heard Dan Chengzi say again, "Three moves it is!"

Wu Ao: "."

"Okay, what's the prize?" Shen Xing looked satisfied.

"Hehe." Dan Chengzi stroked his beard. "Since it's a prize, it can't just be me who pays. Let's see what you can offer first."

Shen Xing thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand, took out a vial of medicine that was compressed in a special bottle, and threw it out.

"This Soul-Refining Potion is a secret treasure of our clan. Its medicinal properties can be hidden within the soul. Once the soul is injured, it will activate in time, continuously regenerating to prevent the injury from becoming too severe and leaving irreparable damage. It is a life-saving treasure."

What Shen Xing brought out was the top-tier resource that he had as the number one player.

He received two in total, one of which he had already used, while he kept the other.

Of course, he was also somewhat reluctant to lose this thing.

Faced with a fifth-grade alchemist, Shen Xing naturally wanted to attract attention. What could be more suitable to attract the attention of such a person than this rare and special resource?

Sure enough, Dan Chengzi was also attracted by Shen Xing's words. He scanned it with his divine sense and immediately understood how to use it. The moment he opened it, his expression changed.

"What... what is this?"

A powerful expert at the Mountain and Sea Realm, and a fifth-grade alchemist, actually lost his composure on the spot.

This was because he sensed extremely pure medicinal properties within the elixir!

It was so pure that even he couldn't extract it.

This is only natural. While the human federation's resource application technology may not be as profound as elixirs, it surpasses them in extraction and transformation.

If in the realm of weapon crafting, inscriptions can assist and enhance the creation of technological weapons, then the realm of alchemy is exactly the opposite; the technology of the Human Federation can assist and enhance the refining of elixirs!

This is all thanks to Danyao's research in the Sacred Lake region during this period.

Shen Xingcai was confident that he could control the person in front of him.

Just by looking at that shocked expression, Shen Xing knew that he had a chance to win.
