Chapter 1617: Alchemy Arena

Lu Chen took a few deep breaths, then stepped forward and plunged into the jar of beast blood.

At that moment, he seemed to be in a volcano, burning in a raging fire, and the burning pain spread throughout his body. The pain in his whole body was much more painful than the pain in his hands, and he couldn't even scream.

The most important thing is that the spiritual energy in Danzhou is too high, and he can't use the exercises to relieve the pain. He can only rely on his will to persevere.

There is no way. If he uses the Nine Dragons Return to One Technique, the five dragon veins will absorb the high concentration of spiritual energy and cannot digest it, and he will go into shock on the spot, which will have an impact on him.

In the past, when Lu Chen soaked in beast blood of normal concentration, he would often absorb all the beast blood quickly.

But this time it didn't work. The energy concentration of this jar of beast blood was too high. He soaked for a whole day and night, and only absorbed one tenth of the beast blood.

Despite this, he already felt that it was slightly effective, and the strength of his body had slightly improved.

After soaking for another two days, his body became stronger, and his adaptability to the jar of beast blood increased. The pain decreased slightly, and the speed of absorbing beast blood became faster.

Within eight days, the jar of beast blood was finally absorbed, and Lu Chen's body became stronger, and it was actually raised to a higher level.

Lu Chen's whole body was still in burning pain, and his spirit was exhausted. He had to take out the spirit essence and drink a big mouthful.

After a while, the burning pain subsided, and his spirit recovered. The sequelae of soaking in high-concentration beast blood gradually disappeared.

"It is better to use less of this high-intensity beast blood for body training in the future, otherwise it will be supported by willpower for a long time. Once it can't stand it, it will be a big problem to go crazy."

Lu Chen sighed, then circulated his true energy to evaporate all the traces of beast blood on his clothes.

After recovering his clean body, Lu Chen opened the door and walked out calmly.

When he walked out of the door, he saw Ling Wa at first sight.

"Didn't you practice?"

Lu Chen asked in surprise.

"There is a lot of spiritual energy in Danzhou, how could I miss it?

I have been practicing in the room for the past eight days, and I have made some progress."

Ling Wa said, "It's just that today is the day when you replace Kong Er to fight for alchemy, so I came out early to wait for you."

"You are really thoughtful!"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and praised him, but he murmured in his heart.

She is thoughtful!

But this heart is not the same as that heart. She is probably deliberately monitoring him for fear that he will run away.

As for why Ling Wa is like this?

To be honest, Lu Chen can't guess why!

Ling Wa is the queen of the spirit race and the Jade Bone Saint. Even on the human side, she has an extraordinary status and attracts countless major forces. What do they want?

And he, Lu Chen, is not even a saint. I really don't know why Ling Wa monitors him?

He has given Ling Wa the best things!

Whether it is elixirs, combat skills, footwork, beast blood body building techniques, etc., they are all equipped to Ling Wa.

What is Ling Wa still sticking to him like this?

Because he is handsome?

Lu Chen did not think much about it. After all, it was he who wanted Ling Wa to be born, so Ling Wa could do whatever she wanted.

The location of the alchemy competition was on the rooftop of the Alchemy Saint Temple.

When Lu Chen and Ling Wa went up to the rooftop, they found that it was already crowded with people, as many as tens of thousands of high-level Alchemy Saints.

Unexpectedly, the alchemy competition between Kong Er and Wu Xiu attracted so many high-level Alchemy Saints to watch. This was probably a major event that shocked the entire Alchemy Continent.

However, the moment Lu Chen and Ling Wa appeared on the rooftop, they immediately became the focus of the audience.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Chen first, staring at Lu Chen's alchemy robe for a while, and then turned to Ling Wa, and then many people's eyes could not leave.

For a moment, Lu Chen deeply felt that even if he was wearing the Alchemy Emperor robe, he was not as attractive as Ling Wa's beauty.

However, this is also human nature. Who said Ling Wa is so beautiful?

Most men who can do not look at Ling Wa more are eunuchs.

"Brother Lu, you are finally here!"

Kong Er stood out from the crowd and trotted over. "You are practicing, I dare not disturb you, otherwise I would have called you long ago."

Kong Er at this time had a strong smile on his face, but the smile looked fake, as if it was pretended.

"Well, if I didn't come, would you go on stage yourself?"

Lu Chen asked back.

"If you don't come, the alchemy competition has to go on, I can only be forced to go on stage."

Kong Er was embarrassed by Lu Chen's words.

In fact, he deliberately didn't call Lu Chen. As long as Lu Chen missed the time, Wu Xiu would have to compete with him.

Anyway, he didn't believe that Lu Chen had any profound alchemy skills. He just thought that Lu Chen was a pitfall and would definitely lose to Wu Xiu.

It would be better to go on stage by himself, at least there would be some chance of winning.

"Now that I'm here, you don't have to be forced to go on stage. Wu Xiu will only compete with me and won't look for you."

Lu Chen smiled and said so.

During the assessment of the Holy Pill, Wu Xiu had a great hatred for him because of the death of his apprentice, and was successfully attracted by the bet he offered, allowing him to compete on behalf of Kong Er.

Therefore, as long as he appeared at the battle of pills, Wu Xiu would find him first, and Kong Erlangzi would have to go aside.

"Wu Xiu has been here for a long time, waiting for you at the battle of pills."

Kong Er sighed, and reluctantly led the way forward, leading Lu Chen and Ling Wa to the crowd.

The crowd moved aside, making way for a path that led directly to the center of the rooftop, where there was a battle of pills table.

The alchemy arena is a long, icy table covered with a layer of white silk cloth. It is very simple.

Behind the alchemy arena, there has been a person standing there for a long time, it is Wu Xiu.

"Lu Chen, I thought you didn't dare to come!"

Wu Xiu stared at Lu Chen coldly and said disdainfully.

He has always suspected that Lu Chen could not escape the responsibility for the death of his apprentice.

So, he also wanted to find an opportunity to kill Lu Chen and avenge his dead beloved apprentice.

However, Lu Chen lit up nine alchemy saint patterns and became a ninth-level alchemy saint. He was at the same level as him in the alchemy. Normally, it would be difficult for him to kill Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he actually used his life as a bet to replace Kong Er in the alchemy arena. This gave him a great opportunity.

Originally, this agreed alchemy competition was for him and Kong Er to resolve all grievances and power disputes.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen wanted to intervene, so he naturally would not miss the opportunity and agreed at that time.

"I've taken your bet into consideration, so why wouldn't I come?"

Lu Chen approached and said to Wu Xiu with a smile, "I heard that if you lose, you'll lose everything and be kicked out of the house."

"I also heard that if you lose, you'll lose your life and there's no way you'll be reborn."

Wu Xiu also sneered back.

"Then let's start the alchemy competition, I'm in a hurry."

Lu Chen said.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The notary hasn't arrived yet!"
