It turns out, they were the main characters.

They both belong to Tianxuan City, so it's only right that they help each other.

The third prince clearly had no idea that the goddess he was pursuing was secretly pursuing another man.

at the same time.

Mu Zhian returned to the villa, pushed open the door to Miss Bai's room, and leisurely lay on the bed, leaning against Bai Ruoxi's thigh. Looking at the beauty who had already begun meditating and cultivating, he couldn't help but close his eyes comfortably, smelling the fragrance on her body and enjoying the wonderful feeling of the facial cleanser.

Everything that needed to be done has been done. The only thing left is to return those Eight Treasure Cranes to the head of Canghai Peak... This needs to be done as soon as possible, lest Miss Linglong really eat them all up.

Then, you can watch the enemy put on a show.

When it comes to connections... who doesn't have one?

Chapter 119 Alchemy Competition 2.5K

The next morning.

Canghai Peak.

At this moment, Yi Hao was sitting in a villa, seemingly somewhat absent-minded.

He is the current head of Canghai Peak, a fifth-grade Void Returner, and would be a well-known figure in the area.

Of course, even within the Liangyi Sect, Yi Hao's strength is among the top.

Unfortunately, Yi Hao has a master above him...

Although his master rarely intervened in matters concerning Canghai Peak, Yi Hao was inevitably somewhat constrained by this master when dealing with various issues.

For example, the sect assessment of Canghai Peak was like this before.

If Mu Zhi'an hadn't appeared back then, the disciples who participated in the sect assessment this time would have been completely wiped out.

At this moment, a disciple gracefully flew into the hall, clasped his hands and said, "Master, there is a disciple outside who calls himself Mu Zhi'an and requests an audience."

Yi Hao, who was drinking sake, suddenly looked up, a hint of joy appearing on his face, but he hid it well, and said, "Please let him in!"

The disciple glanced at Yi Hao with suspicion, then nodded slightly.

This was the first time he had ever seen the chief minister with such an expectant expression; it was truly rare.

Before long, the disciple led Mu Zhian into the villa and then quietly withdrew.

"The chief!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man who came into view, Mu Zhian respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

"Young friend Mu, please sit here." Yi Hao smiled and gestured to the seat opposite him.

After he took his seat, the head of Canghai Peak remained calm and composed. He picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Young friend Mu, what brings you here to see me this time?"

Although he seemed calm and collected, his slightly weathered eyes remained fixed on Mu Zhian, as if waiting for something.

If I told him now that the Eight Treasure Cranes had been eaten by the Spirit Dragon, what would his reaction be...? Mu Zhian smiled and took out a storage ring, then waved his hand. A dozen or so Eight Treasure Cranes quietly appeared beside him in the storage ring.

Each of the eight-treasure cranes' wings was subtly bound by a halo of light, rendering them completely immobile.

Seeing the excitement on the head of the group, Mu Zhian remained respectful and said, "Senior Linglong ate another Eight Treasure Crane at some point, and I was worried that she might lose control... so I came ahead of time."

Yi Hao nodded slightly. When he looked up at Mu Zhian again, his eyes showed a hint of heartfelt gratitude, but he still said in a calm tone, "Senior Linglong is the divine beast of my Liangyi Sect. If she wants to eat it, there is no problem with how much."

He paused, then continued, "I'm really sorry to have troubled you this time, young friend Mu."

"As agreed, you may take one of these eight-treasure cranes with you."

"Eating it will also greatly benefit your future spiritual practice."

"Thank you, senior!" Mu Zhian said, clasping his hands in thanks.

"No need to thank me, you deserve it." Yi Hao shook his head and sighed, "I never thought I'd have to ask a junior for help..."

As he said this, he looked at Mu Zhian again and smiled, "No matter what, we still owe a lot to you, young friend Mu. Putting aside everything else, I still have some influence in the Liangyi Sect. If there are any problems in the future, you can discuss them with me. This is also a way of repaying you for your help this time."

"It is an honor for me to serve you, senior," Mu Zhian said respectfully.

It's just polite talk, but it should still be said.

Some kind words, even if the other person knows they are just polite words, will still be very appreciated.

Yi Hao smiled and nodded, then secretly glanced at Mu Zhi'an a few times, and sighed with some regret in his heart.

He could naturally see that Mu Zhian had great talent, and if it were in the past, he could take him in as an inner disciple.

But this time, things are a little different.

This sect assessment can be described as a golden age, with far too many geniuses emerging.

There is only one spot for an inner disciple, so if possible, it would be best to choose either Bai Ruoxi or Ye Lingxuan.

Even if these two were chosen by the top two main peaks that won the last sect competition, there were still Wei Mengrou, and even Huang Manting and others.

Although it's a bit of a shame, the number of inner disciples should still be carefully considered.

Boom!

A deafening roar suddenly echoed in the sky. Mu Zhian instinctively looked up and saw that on the summit of Canghai Peak, a number of tribulation clouds seemed to be gathering.

Amidst the rolling thunder, a branch of lightning flashed across the sky.

"...Someone has advanced to the Refinement God realm?" Mu Zhian asked subconsciously.

"This is a pill tribulation," Yi Hao said with a smile. "It seems that someone has refined a decent fourth-grade pill on Canghai Peak today."

“No…” Yi Hao’s gaze narrowed slightly, and he continued, “Judging from these tribulation clouds, they are probably already very close to the fifth rank.”

Alchemy, ah, that's a blind spot for me... Mu Zhi'an looked at Yi Hao, who seemed to be thinking about something, got up to say goodbye, and left the villa.

As he passed the summit of Canghai Peak, he vaguely saw a large group of disciples gathered not far ahead. These disciples all looked up at someone on the high platform and whispered something to each other.

Such alchemy competitions occasionally take place on the main peaks, but it is quite rare to see someone refine a fifth-grade pill, or even trigger a tribulation lightning, as seen today.

Mu Zhian quietly walked in, then looked up at the high platform. There stood Ye Yu, dressed in a black robe, enjoying the attention of the crowd. In his hand was a newly refined fifth-grade pill, the Jade Complexion Pill!

To put it simply, the so-called Jade Complexion Pill can preserve one's youthful appearance for several years after consumption!

It may not mean much to men, but for women, the Jade Complexion Pill is of great value.

"Fellow Daoist Ye's alchemy skills are superb; I am utterly convinced of my defeat." Not far from Ye Yu, a young cultivator clasped his hands in a sigh.

Ye Yu cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist's alchemy skills are actually not bad, but you are just lacking in the right timing and technique, you're just one step behind."

"Young Master Ye, would you sell me this Jade Complexion Pill? I'm willing to pay five thousand spirit stones for it." A female cultivator's voice suddenly came from below the stage.

“I am willing to offer eight thousand spirit stones.”

"I'll offer ten thousand..."

As Ye Yu listened to the bids from the female cultivators below the stage, and noticed the admiring looks in their eyes, he was secretly delighted, but maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed a somewhat familiar gaze. Following the direction of that gaze, he saw a young man in a magnificent robe standing at the very back of the crowd, looking at him.

...Mu Zhian.

Ye Yu's expression darkened as he stared at the young man who was stretching and about to leave. Suddenly, he said, "Young Master Mu, since you're already here, why don't you have a contest with me in alchemy?"

As the voice faded, many cultivators in the crowd turned their gazes to Mu Zhian, who was about to leave.

Then, some low whispers began to circulate among the crowd.

Those present were all newly joined disciples, and more or less had heard about the past conflicts between Mu Zhian and Ye Yu in Tianxuan City. However, judging from Ye Yu's undisguised hatred, the hatred between them seemed to be quite significant.

Mu Zhian stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave, turned his head to look at Ye Yu, who was standing on the high platform holding the Jade Complexion Pill, and smiled, "Young Master Ye's alchemy skills are unparalleled among his peers, and I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to him."

"You don't dare?" Ye Yu challenged.

Then, he looked slightly enlightened and said, "I almost forgot, you are not an alchemist. I apologize for my rudeness."

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded, then took out a jade bottle from his storage ring.

Ye Yu's gaze then froze on the character "Ye" on the jade screen.

The pills that Ye Lingxuan gave to Mu Zhian back then!

"The pills that Sister Lingxuan gave me are quite effective," Mu Zhian transmitted his voice.

Ye Yu's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a hint of anger appeared in them.

It's one thing that Mu Zhian used sweet words to trick Lingxuan out of the pills that day, but now he actually has the nerve to show them off?!

How dare someone who lives off a woman be so self-righteous?

Ye Yu opened his mouth slightly, about to speak.

At this moment, a golden beam of light shot into the sky from the cliff below Canghai Peak, and a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the entire summit of Canghai Peak.

Mu Zhian subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the beam of light into the depths of the cliff. He vaguely saw a girl wearing a light purple dress standing in the light.

The rich medicinal fragrance just now came from her.

Ye Lingxuan's seclusion is over!

Chapter 120 Ye Lingxuan, the Second Protagonist (4K)

At this moment, the cultivators on Canghai Peak were all involuntarily drawn to her.

Even though Ye Lingxuan is usually very low-key, she can't stay low-key under the current circumstances.

Ye Yu also stared intently at the beam of light, and at the slender, purple figure of the girl within it.

For some reason, he felt that the medicinal fragrance emanating from Ye Lingxuan at that moment seemed strangely familiar.

"I think I've smelled this medicinal scent somewhere before..." Ye Yu murmured to himself.

"It is Long Tengxu." An aged voice slowly rang out from within her.

Dragon's whiskers...

Ye Yu paused for a moment, then, as if he had thought of something, his gaze fixed on Mu Zhian's back.

Previously, when Mu Zhian was at the Dawn Auction House, he snatched two of his auction items. Once it was a bronze piece, and the other time it was a dragon's beard.

The bronze fragment was given to Bai Ruoxi by Mu Zhian, which made Bai Ruoxi a top genius...

The dragon-shaped whiskers I had my eye on back then were not only given to Lingxuan as a gift to win her heart, but now they've actually been activated by her?!
