Advanced Competition

Shen Xiang stuck out his tongue. Although Liu Meng'er said this, he felt somewhat happy in his heart, because things were not as he had imagined. Before, he thought that Liu Meng'er would ignore him from now on, but now Liu Meng'er seemed to have acquiesced to this relationship.

The speed of the flying disc became faster. Shen Xiang knew that Liu Meng'er's strength had improved a lot after fusing with the Fire Soul, and he was happy for Liu Meng'er.

"We're almost at Piaoxiang City!" Shen Xiang said excitedly.

"You little rascal, are you in a hurry to find that little devil Hua Xiangyue?" Liu Meng'er suddenly became jealous and said sourly.

Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Of course not! Although Hua Xiangyue is a good woman, she is not as good to me as Sister Meng'er. At most, she sells spiritual medicine to me at a lower price. Sister Meng'er and I have experienced life and death together."

"You little rascal, do you know any magic that can charm the little devil Hua Xiangyue?" Liu Meng'er felt much better. What she and Shen Xiang had experienced was the basis for their closer relationship, and Hua Xiangyue had been trying to win over Shen Xiang from the beginning to the end, so naturally their relationship could not compare to that between Liu Meng'er and Shen Xiang.

When they were about to reach Piaoxiang City, Liu Meng'er covered her face with a white veil and said, "We will go to the famous Shenbing store in Piaoxiang City. If you have something important to do, just go find Hua Xiangyue. Don't delay."

Liu Meng'er could see that Shen Xiang would definitely sign up for the alchemy competition when he came to Piaoxiang City, and he would also purchase some precious medicinal materials. A large auction would be held here, and it would be much more convenient if it went through Huaxiangyue. She didn't want Shen Xiang to delay some things because of her feelings.

"Sister Meng'er, you are so nice!" Shen Xiang smiled with relief. Liu Meng'er was like a virtuous wife. He knew that Liu Meng'er's heart had been captured by him, but for some reasons, they had not yet broken through that layer of paper.

Shen Xiang put on a hat, with a black cloth on his face, and followed Liu Meng'er, walking quickly in Piaoxiang City. People wearing attire like them can often be seen in Piaoxiang City. Some people do this because they are worried that their identities will be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble.

After entering the Divine Weapon Shop, the shop owner was shocked when he saw Liu Meng'er, and then respectfully brought Liu Meng'er and Shen Xiang to the third floor.

Liu Meng'er often comes to Piaoxiang City to buy large quantities of elixirs, so the shop owners here know her and she also has a residence here.

After coming in, Shen Xiang shamelessly pestered Liu Meng'er. Liu Meng'er finally softened her heart and kissed and hugged Shen Xiang. This was also the first time she kissed Shen Xiang while she was conscious, and she only agreed to it this time.

After the kiss, half an hour had passed. Liu Meng'er's face turned red as she hummed, "There won't be a next time, unless you can...be with me legitimately!"

Shen Xiang sighed lightly. It was not easy to be with Liu Meng'er legitimately. Although it was normal to have three wives and six concubines in this world, it required ability, especially to get someone like a goddess like Liu Meng'er.

Seeing Chen Xiang's absent-minded look, Liu Meng'er spat: "Greedy little scoundrel, you already have these two little beauties, Xianxian and Youlan, and you actually want to hit on me..."

Chen Xiang chuckled: "Who made Sister Meng'er so attractive? There's nothing I can do about it. Besides, I do have some skills... Ahem, I'd better go find Hua Xiangyue, the little goblin. This little goblin wants to be eaten up by me completely."

Liu Meng'er was jealous and snorted, "Then go quickly!"

Chen Xiang left happily. Liu Meng'er licked her lips, recalling the feeling just now. She couldn't help but let out a complicated sigh: "Little rascal, I have only survived the sixth calamity of Nirvana. I don't know if I can survive the remaining three calamities smoothly... I just don't want you to be too sad by then."

The Nirvana Tribulation is extremely terrifying. People who have not experienced it cannot understand how terrified people in the Nirvana realm are. Especially when the Nirvana Tribulation comes, it is like the end of the world. It was very difficult for Liu Meng'er to survive the sixth tribulation, and she almost died.

Shen Xiang had just walked to the stairs when he heard Long Xueyi telling him this, which made him clench his fists. Of course he knew about the Nirvana Tribulation. The stories of many warriors who had reached the Nirvana Tribulation and died in the eighth or ninth tribulation could be passed down. This was also the reason why some sects, although passed down for many years, had very few people at the Nirvana realm.

"You little rascal, you'd better stop disturbing her. It seems her seventh tribulation is coming! If she is restless, it will have a great impact on her tribulation." Su Meiyao said.

"She has the artifact Suzaku Tender Silk, which is also fused with the Fire Soul, which will help her overcome the tribulation." Bai Youyou said. She was comforting Shen Xiang, which made Shen Xiang feel warm in his heart.

"You can ask Elder Dan or Gu Dongchen to talk to her about her experience in overcoming the seventh tribulation. This will be helpful to her. I think it would be better to let Elder Dan do it. She is a woman and can explain it in more detail." Long Xueyi said.

Shen Xiang nodded. No matter what the cost, he had to let Elder Dan go to Liu Meng'er to talk about his experience in overcoming the tribulation. He knew that Gu Dongchen's strength was not as good as Elder Dan's, so Elder Dan was also someone who had overcome the seventh tribulation of Nirvana.

After walking around outside, Shen Xiang found out a lot of things he wanted to know. The first thing was the auction, and the second was the place to sign up for the alchemy competition. There were three levels of competitions in total. The low-level competition was for first and second stage alchemists, the intermediate level was for third and fourth stage alchemists, and the high-level competition was for fifth and sixth stage alchemists. This was also the most watched level, and the rewards were generous, so the competition would be very interesting.

"The registration deadline is three months away. I don't want to participate in the intermediate level. I want to participate in the advanced level competition!" Shen Xiang clenched his fist and ran towards the Danxiang Tower.

"He must be at least a fifth-level alchemist. The requirements to become a fifth-level alchemist seem to be very high!" Su Meiyao said.

Shen Xiang came to the Danxiang Tower. There was a sign on the first floor that divided the levels of alchemists. He remembered that when he became a fifth-level alchemist, the division was quite detailed.

"The fifth-level alchemists are divided into low-level, middle-level, and high-level. The requirement for the low-level is to refine three kinds of low-grade Xuan-level pills. I can refine Yuanshen Pills and Foundation Building Pills now, but I still need one more!" Shen Xiang clenched his fists and became secretly excited: "That's enough. As long as I can become a low-level fifth-level alchemist, I can sign up for the high-level competition."

The gold content of pills such as Yuanshen Pill and Foundation Building Pill is relatively high, and the materials of Foundation Building Pill are scarce. Many people will not choose to refine Foundation Building Pill when refining low-grade Xuan-level pills. The materials of Yuanshen Pill are also scarce, and it is very difficult to refine. If Shen Xiang did not have the Fire Soul and the experience of refining many Foundation Building Pills, he would probably fail many times, but he still failed ninety-nine times. In Su Meiyao's view, this is already very rare.

Because refining Xuan-level pills is very difficult, no matter what kind of pill it is, as long as one can be refined, it represents an improvement in the level of alchemy, so above the fifth-level alchemist, there will be further subdivisions. Otherwise, according to the previous levels, at least three Xuan-level middle-grade pills must be refined.
