Chapter 372 Invitation to Duel
ps: (Thanks to Guanghui Charter and ad432 for the reward! The second update is delivered today!)
After leaving the hall, Jiang Chen was about to walk down the mountain, but Zi Xi pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her arms to stop him and said, "Jiang Chen, you are on the wrong path! The Sutra Pavilion you are going to is not the place where those low-level disciples go, but the high-level Sutra Pavilion on the mountainside of Tianmo Peak. Generally, most of the monks who go there are Jindan stage monks."
Jiang Chenfang smiled embarrassedly, shrugged his shoulders, and then followed Zi Xi toward a place surrounded by mist on Tianmo Peak.
The two of them flew in the air in parallel, and the clouds around them flew away to the back.
They were very close to each other. When they smelled the faint body fragrance coming from Zixi, Jiang Chen couldn't help but stare at her.
I saw that her black hair was like a waterfall without any modification, but was so softly attached to the back of her buttocks, and her hair was filled with a halo of spiritual energy.
Her skin is crystal clear, and it is too rough to describe it as mutton fat white jade. It is like crystal, with an inhuman beauty, especially her temperament, which is like a fairy, and seems to be able to leave the mortal world at any time.
Although Zi Xi is still wearing a simple pink silk dress, it gives people a strange feeling when worn on her body, which makes people feel that the neon feathered clothes worn by the fairy in the Heavenly Palace are nothing more than that.
Jiang Chen, shocked by such a gorgeous look, was also a little rippling in his heart. If Shui Yuening is the jasper of a small family, then Zixi can be described as a beautiful woman.
Especially Zi Xi's beautiful eyes, which are clearly black and white, give people an extremely shocking feeling. Her pupils are like the pitch-black night sky, like autumn water, like sky songs, so gentle and so charming.
"Junior Brother Jiang. What's wrong? Just staring at me?" Zi Xi smiled sweetly. The smile was so charming that it could really be described as charming, which could make any man sink into despair.
Jiang Chen finally calmed down at this time, smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sister Zi, I haven't seen you for a few years. I feel like you are much more beautiful than before..."
"Hehe, I will make your senior sister happy. Have you forgotten that I was convinced that the Dingyan Pills you made. Can't the appearance be changed?" Zi Xi said with a smile.
"Of course I know this, but it seems that what you change is not your appearance, but your temperament, or a kind of charm, an image, which gives people a considerable shock and attraction!" Jiang Chen said after taking a deep breath.
After hearing this, Zi Xi just smiled faintly and stopped talking about this topic. But she thought to herself: It seems that this set of Mingyu Technique is indeed as it introduced, and it will have a strong attraction to men after practicing. I really don’t know where that guy Tianming got this technique. Fortunately, the speed of this technique to improve cultivation is stronger than that of the Heavenly Demon Technique, otherwise she would not consider practicing it.
At this time, she looked at Jiang Chen and felt a complicated emotion in her heart. Since she saw Shui Yuening appearing frequently next to Jiang Chen and looking intimate, her heart would feel inexplicably sour, which made her very distressed.
Although she had a deep affection for Jiang Chen, she had always regarded him as a junior who could be created, but now Jiang Chen's strength has grown rapidly. Not only has a unique skill in alchemy, but she also demonstrated her ability to command the sect and turned the tide. This made her heart turbulent.
If Zi Xi had never been moved by a man before, then Jiang Chen would undoubtedly be the one who could make her heart move.
"Although his cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, it is still much worse than mine. Let's talk about it when he reaches the Golden Pill stage..." Zi Xi thought in his heart.
However, as soon as this idea came out, she was shocked. She couldn't help but say to herself: "What's wrong with me? Are you really moved by Jiang Chen?"
Just when Zi Xi was worried about gains and losses, Jiang Chen had already landed on the ground, frowned and looked at a seven-story pagoda emitting colorful light in front of him and said, "Sister Zi, is this the advanced Sutra Pavilion?"
Zi Xi came to her senses and landed next to Jiang Chen, then nodded gently and said, "That's it! Let's go! Senior sister will take you to have a good time today!"
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the gate of the pagoda...
When the two walked to the gate of the pagoda, a strong man of five or three thick and thick, like a black tower came forward. When he saw Zi Xi coming, he laughed and said, "Sister Zi, it's rare to see you coming to the Sutra Pavilion. What information are you going to check today?"
This person also has the early stage of the Golden Pill cultivation. From the outside, he seems to be a cultivator who practices fierce martial arts, but he doesn't know which peak he is. However, this person obviously only has this Xi in his eyes, and Jiang Chen was automatically ignored by him.
After hearing this, Zixi looked embarrassed, shook her head, and pointed at Jiang Chen and said, "Junior Brother Shi Sheng, it's not me who is here to check the information this time, but Junior Brother Jiang is here to check the information. You can open the teleportation array leading to the fifth floor and let him in!"
"He? You call him Junior Brother Jiang?" The strong man named Shi Sheng looked at Jiang Chen for a moment, and said in surprise: "I still think he is your disciple. Isn't he just the middle stage of foundation building cultivation? How could he come here?"
Zi Xi sighed lightly and said, "His name is Jiang Chen, who is the new Demon Soul Peak Guardian of the Sect. He has obtained the badge of the second-level top-grade alchemist. With the approval of the sect leader, he can enter the Advanced Sutra Pavilion to check information related to alchemy, herbs, etc."
Shi Sheng was slightly moved when he heard that Jiang Chen was a second-level top-grade alchemist. After all, Jiang Chen is less than 30 years old and has become a second-level top-grade alchemist, which shows that his alchemist has excellent talent. Even if he fails to complete the alchemist, he is very likely to become a third-level alchemist.
However, when he saw Jiang Chen and Zi Xi standing side by side, the handsome man and the beautiful woman were quite like a pair of people, he suddenly felt jealous. He had been secretly in love with Zi Xi for decades.
Shi Sheng immediately made a decision to give Jiang Chen a warning so that the greasy boy would know that he would not allow any man to touch Zi Xi.
He then said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, there is no problem for Mr. Jiang to enter the third floor area to check the information. But the fifth floor is information related to monsters. According to regulations, only high-level monks who study and tame animals can enter..."
"I understand, but this was also specially approved by the Sect Master! With this token as evidence!" Jiang Chen naturally also realized that Shi Sheng was intentionally making things difficult for him, so he immediately lit up the black token in his hand at Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng took the token and looked carefully for a moment. Fang brows stretched and said, "Not bad! It was indeed issued by the Sect Master. The token that can be licensed to enter the monster layer area to review, but the deadline is only twelve hours!"
"Then can I go in?" Jiang Chen said coldly.
"Hehe, of course! Come on, please come here!" Shi Sheng smiled, made a call with his left hand, but his right hand bent his finger and a radiant energy went straight to Jiang Chen's waist acupoint under his waist. He wanted Jiang Chen to suddenly laugh, and to make an ugly look in front of Zi Xi.
Jiang Chen was really angry at this time. He had been holding back to this guy again and again, but Shi Sheng was still so rude to him. Even a clay figure was rustic, not to mention that he was not a good person.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen raised his hand and blocked the energy. Then he said in a deep voice: "Shi Sheng, should we make a bet?"
Shi Sheng was also very surprised at this time. Although the spiritual power contained in this qi is not large, it is not something that ordinary foundation-building cultivators can take. But he never expected that the qi power he emitted with 60% of his strength would be blocked by Jiang Chen in an understatement.
Although he wanted to keep calm, the surprise in his eyes had betrayed his mood. He thought to himself that Jiang Chen seemed to have two tricks.
At this moment, when he heard what Jiang Chen said, he also frowned slightly and said, "Tell me, what bet do you want to make?"
"We will fight in one game fairly, and we won't bet too much. The loser will give the winner 500,000 spirit stones!" Jiang Chen glanced at Shi Sheng and said, "If you dare to play, you will play, if you don't dare to play, forget it."
"What? You, a middle-stage disciple in the foundation building stage, actually proposed to duel with me, the uncle in the early stage of the Golden Elixir?" Shi Sheng was really stunned.
At this time, many disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect who passed by also discovered the abnormality at the entrance of the Advanced Sutra Pavilion and couldn't help but gather around. After hearing that Jiang Chen took the initiative to challenge Shi Sheng, nine out of ten thought Jiang Chen was crazy.
"Although Jiang Chen won the first place in the potential disciple in the sect's grand exam five years ago, no matter what, he is now just a foundation-building cultivator, and there is a big gap between him and a Jindan cultivator!"
"That's right, isn't this a humiliation? And he also made such a big bet: 500,000 spirit stones! Even a cultivator in the Golden Pill stage would feel heartbroken!"
"Uncle Shi, knock down this ignorant boy. After winning 500,000 spirit stones, you have to hold a banquet for us!"
There was a sudden disdain for Jiang Chen at the scene. After all, Shi Sheng was quite strong among the early stage cultivators of the Tianmo Sect.
Of course, there were also a few disciples who did not agree with it at all and had confidence in Jiang Chen. These people were Wan Liang, Wang Zihan, Bu Zheng and others who rushed over after hearing the news. They knew Jiang Chen's trump card well. As long as the queen of the ant was released, they would definitely be able to establish a victory. Even if Shi Sheng was better than ordinary early-stage Jindan cultivators, he would not be more powerful than Yan Nantian and Yan Nannan, right?
Just as Shi Sheng was about to agree, a disciple from the early stage of foundation building suddenly came to his ear and said a few words to him.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen secretly called him a secretly. This disciple was one of the monks who came back from Wunan City with him, named Shi Yong. Unexpectedly, this person was also very familiar with Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng's face suddenly sank. Because this disciple was one of his junior nephews, he had just told him about Jiang Chen's identity.
Shi Sheng snorted coldly: "No wonder you have the courage to challenge me. It turns out that there is a psychic zombie at the first-level ghost-level master and an eighth-level queen who can drive a large number of flying ants at the foundation-building stage level to fight..."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Although I am confident that I can beat you, I cannot beat your flying ants. If you can guarantee that you will not use the queen of the ant and those flying ants, what if I accept your challenge bet?"
This time, the ball was kicked back to Jiang Chen.
Wan Liang and Wang Zihan couldn't help but say, "This is unfair. According to the rules of sect duels, both spiritual pets and corpse servants are part of the strength of monks and can participate in the battle."
"Yes! If you really fight against the enemy, can you still tell him, don't you use the spirit insect?" Bu Zheng also said unfairly for Jiang Chen.
Zi Xi also whispered to Jiang Chen with some concern: "Junior Brother Jiang, why not forget it. Shi Sheng is also showing weakness. Everyone should give in to their own concessions."
Jiang Chen said unexpectedly at this time: "Okay! I agree!
"Ah! Senior Brother Jiang, do you agree with such harsh requests?" Wan Liang, Wang Zihan, Bu Zheng and others all showed disappointment.
"Okay! But today I have to stay here and can't leave. I'll wait for you on the martial arts stage the morning after tomorrow!" Shi Sheng touched his nose, with murderous intent hidden in his heart.
Although this is an ordinary duel, not a life-and-death battle, and according to the rules, it is not a restriction to kill the opponent seriously injured. He has decided that Jiang Chen must lie for ten days and a half months. Let this ignorant boy know that a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage is not qualified to be rampant in front of the Jindan Stage Ancestor.
"Okay! It's a matter of determination, but now can I go in and check the information?" Jiang Chen asked calmly.
"Of course!" In front of so many people, Shi Sheng had to show the demeanor of the Jindan stage ancestor.
So he asked Jiang Chen to stand on the teleportation array, then cast a magic trick and began to activate the magic array.
