Chapter 341 The world is fickle, this is absolutely true

When you concentrate on one thing, time always passes quickly.

Six months passed quietly as Xu Feng worked tirelessly to refine pills, trying to increase his experience points in alchemy and raise his alchemy skills to the second-class upper grade before the alchemy competition began.

"Alas, I didn't expect that I was still a little short. It seems that it is unlikely to break through the alchemy level before the competition!"

Looking at the panel floating in front of him, Xu Feng's tone was full of regret. After working hard for a long time, the feeling of failing at the last hurdle is not so pleasant.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything else. He can only participate in the competition at this level.

Sitting in the room to meditate and recover for a while, because he consumed too much mana in alchemy, he stood up and walked out of the house.

Although the official start time of the competition is tomorrow, they have to set off early today. There are still a series of preparations to be made before the game. If it really goes tomorrow, they may be in a hurry.

After walking out of the door, Xu Feng's eyes unconsciously went to the next room, thinking to himself:

"I don't know what the situation is like for the female cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building whose life span is about to run out. Did she die in the room?

In the past six months, no noise has been heard from her room, so this guess is not impossible.

But the top priority at the moment is the alchemy competition, and other things have to be postponed.

If her door is still closed when the alchemy competition is over, it is necessary to notify the inn steward."

Shaking his head, he drove away the distracting thoughts in his mind and continued to move forward.

When he came to the lobby on the first floor, he found that the atmosphere here was very lively. Many forces had gathered their contestants together and were ready to set off at any time.

In a moment, Xu Feng found the figure of the Jiugong Sect disciples in the crowd. There were nine cultivators standing here, and a small half of them had not yet arrived.

Among the people who did not come was Master Lu, which made him very puzzled, because in his impression, the master was a very punctual person.

After greeting his fellow apprentices, he casually asked this question.

"Junior brother Xu, you may not know that Master came earlier than any of us. When I arrived, he had already been here for a long time.

The reason why he is not here now is because Master Bao came just now. The two of them exchanged a few words in secret and then walked out of the inn together.

Before leaving, he also reminded us that he would be back soon and asked us to wait where we were and not to run around at will."

"So that's how it is. Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up my doubts."

After bowing his hands to express his gratitude, Xu Feng walked into the crowd, found a suitable position to stand still, and waited for Master to return.

"Oh, isn't this our great genius Xu? I heard that in the past six months, you have been hiding in the room, not going out of the door or the second door, and refining pills without distraction. I don't know how it is going? Have you made a breakthrough to become a second-level top-grade alchemist?"

When Xu Feng heard this voice, he felt sick. He didn't even need to look back. He was sure that it was definitely Pang Chun.

"Hey, our great alchemist, are you talking to me? It's such an honor! I'm incompetent, and I've worked hard for half a year, but I've gained very little. My alchemy skills really haven't been able to break through the second-grade upper grade. This should be your wish, right?"

Xu Feng countered with a fake smile. If he wasn't in public, he would definitely let this bastard who always picked trouble know how powerful he is.

Although the opponent's cultivation is two levels higher than his, he may not be afraid if he really starts fighting.

You should know that in addition to the identity of the alchemist, he has another identity, that is, the talisman maker, and his storage bag is full of second-grade lower, middle and upper grade talismans.

If a real fight breaks out, he doesn't even need to use magic tools. A few second-grade upper grade talismans will definitely be enough to give Pang Chun a hard time.

"Haha, Junior Brother, don't say such harsh words. If your talisman making skills have improved, I will definitely be happy for you.

But if you haven't improved, don't be too discouraged. I can give you some pointers and help you break through as soon as possible, but it may take until after the alchemy competition."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned at first, looking at the smile on Pang Chun's face that couldn't be stopped, and the high spirits on his face, they had a bold guess in their hearts.

"Brother Pang, from what you said, could it be that your alchemy skills have already broken through to the second-grade upper grade?"

In fact, there is no need to ask this question. Just looking at Pang Chun's proud expression, one can judge something. However, the latter still nodded heavily and said in a floating tone:

"Luckily, I happened to refine a furnace of second-grade upper-grade elixir a month ago, and then succeeded in several furnaces in succession. It can be considered a breakthrough!"

Hearing this, the foundation-building cultivators who were originally standing with Xu Feng unconsciously changed their positions. In just a few breaths, he became a lonely man.

Looking at the crowd surrounding Pang Chun, constantly congratulating him, he smiled and shook his head, then walked away from the crowd and came to the door of the inn.

"The world is cold and indifferent, this sentence is absolutely correct!"

With a sigh, Xu Feng cast his eyes on the street and saw his master standing with a group of Jindan Zhenren, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
