Cheng Xu was confused and did not understand.
“It’s just like the same scenery. Different painters will have their own artistic conception and charm when they draw it. What you have to do is to find your own artistic conception and charm on the basis of pharmacology.”
Disciples know how to send the blood.
Cheng Xu took a deep breath and thanked him respectfully. Then, he hurried back to his cave abode and began to try.
Seeing Cheng Xu leave with a face full of enlightenment, Chi Yao Zhenren’s face was full of gratification. It was a unique and strong sense of accomplishment.
“Too fast, really too fast!”
Chi Yao Zhenren clicked his tongue and sighed. Back then, the first time he asked his master this question was three years after he started learning alchemy.
He did not expect his disciple to raise such a crucial question in just half a year.
The speed was so fast that even he, as his master, felt that it was unreal.
“Perhaps this is a natural alchemist?” Chi Yao Zhenren sighed again and then turned his attention back to his medicine mantra. “Hiss, It seems that I can’t directly apply the medicine base to the mantra spell. I have to make some minor adjustments.”

From that day on, Cheng Xu, this cheat player, experienced the taste of failure in refining medicine for the first time.
Since he wanted to explore his own medicine path, he naturally could not avoid experiencing repeated failed attempts.
And each time he failed, it was all for the sake of spirit stones.
After a few days, the 400,000 spirit stones he had were dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, a new month had arrived. After handing over the 20 sets of Array Disks to Jian Yuxiang, his family was instantly revived.
If that’s true, you have to pay for what you did.”
Normal alchemists were trained with large amounts of spirit stones, but he, a cheat player, had never experienced the stage of burning money since he started refining medicine.
Now, when he wanted to pursue supreme-grade medicinal pills, he finally could not escape the fate of burning money.
If nothing unexpected happened, the same thing would happen in the later stages of weapon refinement, array formations, and talismans.
“It’s okay. I can earn it back in the future.”
With this conviction, he began to make out with Cheng Xu the boring life of refining medicine.

Time flew by, and it was already the eve of the Martial Arts Competition.
The younger generation of the various sects had long been rubbing their fists, wanting to show off in the fight.
And because the various sects ‘Martial Arts Competition’ this time was in the midst of the fiendish path’s turmoil, it had even been specially changed to the Demon Suppression Martial Competition.
Strangely enough, ever since the last joint experiential learning, the demonic path had been quiet and low-key, except for one incident at the Magical Equipment Exposition.
It was as if he was not in a hurry at all.
This made the upper echelons of the righteous path sects very puzzled. One had to know that once the demonic path appeared in the past, they would impatiently start to expand wildly.
But now, this group of fiends did not have any large-scale invasion or expansion movements.
As the saying went, there must be something fishy going on when things were abnormal. The leaders of the various sects suspected that the demonic path was trying to do something big.
Of course, Cheng Xu didn’t pay attention to this.
These few days, he basically buried his head in refining medicine in the cave abode, but in the end, he still could not refine a supreme-grade medicinal pill.
“Just a little more, just a little more!”
“Why is it always so close?”
Looking at the four high-grade True Essence Pills that had just been refined, Cheng Xu could not help but fall into self-doubt.
Miao Changsheng’s voice came from outside the cave abode. “Cheng Xu, hurry up. If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late.”
After coming back to his senses, Cheng Xu packed his things and walked out of the cave.
“Speaking of which, where is this year’s Martial Competition being held?” Cheng Xu asked as they walked.
“Cloud Sect, where else could it be?”
“Cloud Sect again?” Cheng Xu was speechless.
“There’s no other way. The Cloud Sect was the leader of the righteous path last time. In addition, they invited Senior Fu Yunzi to attend personally, so this time’s martial arts competition can only be held at the Cloud Sect.” Miao Changsheng shrugged helplessly.
“Where’s Master?”
I’ve been waiting for a long time. I’m going with us. Speaking of which, our master never attended such events in the past,” Miao Changsheng said. “But isn’t there a senior brother this time?”
“Is that so?” Cheng Xu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He had thought that his master would continue to stay in the Medicine Celestial Valley to study the “True Word of Medicine”.
When they arrived at the assembly point, the sect master, Immortal Dan Yang, and the elders were already in place. The participating disciples, led by Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang, had also arrived.
Before leaving, Immortal Dan Yang gave a motivational speech.
In the end, he even emphasized Cheng Xu, Tang Xuan, and Jian Yuxiang, hinting that they should perform well and give the Medicine Celestial Valley some face.
Even if the sect leader didn’t say anything, Cheng Xu would still try his best.
After all, he still wanted to get that Frost Rain Dew.
“Elder Chi Yao and I will be leading the team this time.”
After Immortal Dan Yang finished speaking, he immediately summoned his cool treasure ship and carried everyone in the direction of the Cloud Sect.
On the way, Cheng Xu’s group of disciples couldn’t help but discuss the upcoming Demon Suppression Martial Competition.
“I heard that the Cloud Sect has made quite a big fuss this time?” The Medicine Celestial Valley contestants had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and were filled with anticipation for the Demon Suppression Martial Competition.
“After all, it’s his home ground, and he has a genius like Yan Changfeng.
Naturally, it has to be more grand.” Tang Xuan smiled.
Miao Changsheng couldn’t help but complain, “It’s like we’re celebrating ahead of time, right?”
“It can’t be helped. With Yan Changfeng’s excellence, he does have the confidence to do so. As far as I know, Yan Changfeng will be able to break through to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm soon,” Tang Xuan sighed helplessly.
Hearing that, everyone could not help being greatly shocked.
“Really? He’s already at the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?”
“Isn’t this too fast?”
Cheng Xu was also shocked by this news. He could only say that Yan Changfeng, the number one prodigy of the Cloud Sect, was very valuable.
“Then the champion of this year’s Martial Arts Competition is basically Yan Changfeng, right?”
“The probability is high, but it’s not certain. After all, Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, and Xue Lingyu have all broken through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They can still fight Yan Changfeng,” Tang Xuan said with a smile.
“I heard that the three of them have made great breakthroughs in their cultivation techniques and spells recently.” Jian Yuxiang nodded in agreement.
“Tsk, Does that mean that the top four basically have nothing to do with our Medicine Celestial Valley?” Miao Changsheng smiled bitterly.
“That may not be the case.” Tang Xuan looked at Cheng Xu with a smile. “Junior Brother Cheng, you should still have a chance to fight for it, right?”
“Cough cough, I’ll try my best!” Cheng Xu smiled awkwardly. “But I think Senior Brother Tang and Senior Sister Jian have a chance to compete.”
Hearing this, Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang looked at each other and smiled. They seemed to have some confidence.

Cloud Mountains, Cloud Treading Summit.
It was still a familiar place and a familiar smell, but this time, the Cloud Treading Summit was obviously much grander than the last time.
The entire Cloud-treading Mountain was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The preparations were quite grand. Those who did not know better would think that the demonic path had already been eliminated.
After the Medicine Celestial Valley members arrived, Perfected Luoyue personally came to welcome them.
Unfortunately, from the reactions of the other four sects, it was obvious that they didn’t take the Medicine Celestial Valley seriously.
Although the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples had played a great role in the previous joint experiential learning, this was the Demon Suppression Martial Competition. It was a competition of individual strength, and the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples were clearly not enough.
This point could be seen just from their cultivation. The other sects all had mid Foundation Establishment geniuses, while the highest cultivation in the Medicine Celestial Valley was only early Foundation Establishment. They were on completely different levels.
Thus, in the eyes of the various participating teams, the Medicine Celestial Valley was just a bystander.
Before the competition officially began, Perfected Dan Yang and Perfected Chi Yao went to pay a visit to Fu Yunzi under the lead of Perfected Luoyue.
Cheng Xu and the other participating disciples were also arranged to their respective seats.
“Junior Brother Cheng.”
Bai Ci’er, who was in the Cloud Sect team, saw Cheng Xu at a glance and waved her little hand happily.
Other than Bai Ci’er, Yang Tianqi and Yan Changfeng also greeted Cheng Xu.
Yang Tianqi could understand why Yan Changfeng would greet him.
Could it be because his performance in the last experience was not bad?
Although he was surprised, Cheng Xu still responded politely.
However, Hu Jiaojiao’s gnashing of her teeth was ruining the atmosphere.
However, the more she acted like this, the more Cheng Xu felt pleased.
When he thought about the possibility of facing Hu Jiaojiao in the competition, he was a little excited!
“That’s strange. Why are those people from the Scorching Sun Sect looking at Senior Sister Jian?”
The Medicine Celestial Valley disciples looked at the Scorching Sun Sect’s team in confusion.
Everyone from the Scorching Sun Sect, including Huyan Zan, looked at Jian Yuxiang from time to time.
“It’s nothing. Maybe he has some resentment towards our Jian family.” Jian Yuxiang looked at Cheng Xu with a smile.
Hearing this, Tang Xuan could not help but feel a little puzzled. “What’s going on between the Jian Chamber of Commerce and the Scorching Sun Sect?”
Jian Yuxiang smiled but didn’t say anything.
“Doesn’t Senior Brother Tang know?” A Medicine Celestial Valley disciple explained, “The Jian’s Chamber of Commerce launched a multi-purpose Array Disk some time ago, which almost squeezed out the Scorching Sun Sect’s business.”
“There’s such a thing? Isn’t the Scorching Sun Sect’s Array Disk very powerful?” Tang Xuan asked in shock.
“It’s quite powerful, but it’s a pity that it can’t compare with the Array Disks that the Jian Chamber of Commerce has launched.”
“Not bad, Junior Sister Jian. Did your family rope in an expert?”
“I guess so.”
Jian Yuxiang smiled lightly and secretly glanced at Cheng Xu.
“No wonder the people from the Scorching Sun Sect don’t look too happy,” Tang Xuan said in amazement. “It turns out that their economic lifeline has been cut off. I heard that the profits from the Array Disk business account for more than half of the annual profits of the Scorching Sun Sect.”
“Yeah, 1 didn’t expect someone to break the monopoly of the Scorching Sun Sect.”
“Senior Sister Jian, if you have the chance, you have to help us introduce that expert.”
Jian Yuxiang smiled and nodded.
‘There’s no one, there’s no’
While Cheng Xu was secretly embarrassed, he couldn’t help but remind her, “1 think the Scorching Sun Sect is going to kill you, Senior Sister, so you should be careful.”
“Don’t worry, Junior Brother. Apart from Huyan Zan, I’m confident that I can handle the others from the Scorching Sun Sect.” Jian Yuxiang smiled confidently.
“Is that so?” Cheng Xu was secretly surprised.
“It’s alright. I can’t compare to Junior Brother Cheng.” Jian Yuxiang smiled meaningfully and turned to Tang Xuan. “It’s not just you, I’m afraid Senior Martial Brother Tang has also made ample preparations this time.”
“I did make some preparations, but the specifics still depend on the actual battle.” Tang Xuan waved his hand and smiled.
Seeing the two of them so confident, Cheng Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
It turned out that everyone had been spiraling to death during this period of time, and only he was truly engaging in Buddhism. Seeing that the Martial Competition was approaching, he was still studying how to refine supreme-grade medicinal pills.
“Oh right, what are the rules of this Suppressing Demon Martial Competition?” He asked.
“According to the rules of the previous competition, the first round should be a draw and a duel between two people. Each person will fight three rounds, and those who win two will advance to the next round. I wonder if the rules will change this year.” Tang Xuan introduced..
