Chapter 1697: Inquiring about Su Chen’s Alchemy Strength

"Thank you, Master."

Li Dong was so happy that he didn't bother to think about the knocking meaning in Elder Ai's words.

"Thank you, Brother Ai."

Hall Master Li was also relieved and said with a smile.

If Elder Ai doesn't help, it will be difficult for Hall Master Li to borrow the Baicao Cauldron on his own.

"Li Dong, my teacher only wants to warn you: you must look down on the immediate gains and losses and focus on the long term."

Elder Ai said, "If you can't do this, this competition, even if you win, will have no real benefit to you."

As soon as Elder Ai said these words, Hall Master De Li and Li Dong felt a little resentful, as if someone was pouring cold water on them before they even started doing something.

After sitting for a while, Hall Master Li and Li Dong said goodbye.

"Grandpa, why does Master seem to disagree with Su Chen and I competing in the Alchemy Way?"

Li Dong asked, he still respected Elder Ai as his master. What Elder Ai said just now was so serious that he could not remain completely indifferent. There was also a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"He is a martial arts elder. He has always hoped that you would achieve great success in martial arts. But now that you are competing with others in alchemy, he will naturally be unhappy."

Hall Master Li smiled and revealed the matter in an understatement, "Okay, don't think about these things. Return to the cave with peace of mind and prepare for the competition. Since your master has promised you, he will definitely borrow the Baicao Cauldron as soon as possible."

"Okay, this time, I will trample Su Chen under my feet so that he will never be able to make trouble again. Once I defeat Su Chen, I will prepare wholeheartedly for the Jinghu Festival."

Li Dong was full of confidence, bid farewell to Hall Master Li, and returned to his cave.

On Elder Ai's side, after Hall Master Li and Li Dong left, he also got up and prepared to borrow the Baicao Cauldron from the sect leader.

However, after walking out of the cave, Elder Ai thought about it and finally felt uneasy. He simply did not go directly to the sect master, but turned around and went to Hall Master Mu's cave first.

"In any case, Li Dong is my direct disciple after all. I can't help but care more about his affairs. He is going to compete with Su Chen in Alchemy. I always feel that something is wrong, so I'd better go to Hall Master Mu first and ask about it. The details of Su Chen.”

Elder Ai thought like this and walked to Hall Master Mu's cave.

"Haha, Elder Ai, what kind of wind has brought you here?"

Hall Master Mu was slightly surprised when he saw Elder Ai coming. Elder Ai, besides being close to Hall Master Li, had little contact with their other hall masters. I don't know why I came here suddenly today. Is it because of the recent rumors attacking Su Chen?

To be honest, Hall Master Mu knew that those rumors must have been concocted by Li Dong, and Hall Master Li was certainly involved in them. But it's hard to say whether Elder Ai was involved or not.

Although the sect leader believed that Elder Ai should also be involved, Hall Master Mu felt that this was not necessarily the case.

But then again, if Elder Ai was really involved in concocting those rumors, it would be very subtle for him to come to visit Hall Master Mu now. Because those rumors not only attacked Su Chen, but also Hall Master Mu and Hall Master Huangfu.

With these doubts, Hall Master Mu welcomed Elder Ai into the cave.

After Elder Ai sat down, he kept pouring tea. Several times he seemed determined to ask something, but he hesitated.

Hall Master Mu was so worried for him that he simply smiled and said: "Elder Ai, I know that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If you have something to ask me about, or maybe it's because of the recent rumors, what's the matter? If you want to say anything, just say it. I know that you, Elder Ai, are an open and honest person, and so am I, so if anything happens, you and I can speak openly and openly, without having to go around in circles like other people."

"no……"

When Elder Ai heard what Hall Master Mu said, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Hall Master Mu, you misunderstood... I didn't come here because of that."

"oh?"

Hall Master Mu was a little surprised. If it wasn't because of that, why else could he come here?

"Since that's not the case... then Brother Ai should just say what he has to say."

Hall Master Mu had no choice but to say.

"Master Mu, you should know best about Su Chen. What is his actual alchemy level? Can you tell me the truth?"

After hearing Elder Ai's question, Hall Master Mu was a little confused. Why did Elder Ai suddenly care about Su Chen's alchemy level? Isn't he a martial arts elder?

After thinking for a while, Hall Master Mu told the truth: "Last time at the meeting to decide the quota for the Jinghu Festival, the Fifteen-Star Taiyi Dust Cleansing Pill I showed you was completed with the help of Su Chen. He It played a decisive role. If it weren't for him, the elixir would not have been successfully refined. And his alchemy attainments are far beyond that. To be honest, even I can't see through his actual alchemy level. ”

Even Hall Master Mu couldn't see through it.

This is a very scary evaluation.

When Elder Ai heard this, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face. He obviously did not expect that Su Chen, a young disciple, would receive such a comment from Hall Master Mu.
