Chapter 93: The Tai Dan Wang Yuan

  Shen Xiang now has two Zhenyuan Dan, which is a high-grade spiritual pill. This level of pill is rare even in the Wudao sects, so it's usually hard to buy and can only be made by gathering materials and hiring an alchemist to refine them.

  "Don't eat it yet, you've just entered the 9th level of Mortal Martial Realm not long ago. First, get familiar with this realm well, and when you're about to break through to the 10th level of Mortal Martial Realm, then swallow it in one breath!" Su Mei Yao said.

  Shen Xiang sighed and put away the True Qi Pill. He had long wanted to try its flavor.

  The Heaven-Shocking Palm is a powerful martial art that releases a large amount of internal energy in an instant, creating a shockwave and producing a formless shockwave to attack over long distances. It can also strike a single point, but if it is dodged, a lot of internal energy will be wasted.

  "Quake Heaven Palm!" Shen Xiang's five fingers spread out, and a palm strike shot out. In an instant, the dozen or so trees in front of him shattered, and the mud on the ground was shaken like a turbulent sea wave, with an extremely overbearing power.

  Shen Xiang was practicing in a mountain forest of Taiwu Gate. If he were to practice inside the martial arts school, it's possible that he could destroy the entire school.

  "It's just three days and it's already practiced, quite fast!" Shen Xiang saw the effect was not bad, very satisfied: "Try again with the Xuan Gong finger!"

  Only to see a layer of pale blue gas suddenly surging on one of his fingers, wrapped around the index finger. At this time, the gas looks very calm, but it gives people a sense of oppression.

  Shen Xiang poked a stone slab with his finger, and a small hole appeared immediately, as easily as poking tofu!

  Not to mention stones, even if it were a nine-piece ordinary sword being pinched by two fingers of the Mystic Seal, it would break immediately!

  "Heh heh, if I use the invisible and colorless Qi of the universe, wouldn't that be even more formidable? Maybe I can even damage spiritual artifacts!" Shen Xiang laughed, very satisfied with this low-grade Earth-level martial art.

  The Qinglong Claw is also a similar martial art, but when it is performed, it is very overbearing. It is a fast-attacking type of martial art, whereas the Xuanpi Finger is gentle and can launch an unexpected attack.

  Shen Hui returned to Wu Yuan and saw Zhang De and Yun Xiaodao with a happy face, so he knew they must have found a good master.

  "Brother Shen, you're back just in time! Otherwise, it would be hard to see Old Zhang again!" Yun Xiaodao said.

  "Oh? Why?" Shen Xiang looked puzzled.

  Zhang De smiled and said, "My master has been on the border of Taiwu State for many years, so I have to follow him. In this way, I can also see the world and temper myself."

  "That's alright too, take care!" Shen Xiang smiled slightly.

  After Zhang De left, Yun Xiao Dao smiled and said: "Shen big brother, do you want to know who my master is?"

  "Who is it? Don't tell me it's Dan Changlao!" Shen Xiang laughed and said.

  "It's not this old woman, but an old lady from the third Wu Institute. She has some connection with our Yun family, so she took me as her apprentice. However, during the assessment, I was tortured miserably by her, and she even took away my Black Eagle!" Cloud Small Knife said with a pained expression.

  The third master of Wu Institute! That's one of the more formidable figures in Taiwu Gate, which is quite surprising to Shen Xiang.

  "Shen Ge, you don't have a master, will you become disheartened because of this?" Yun Xiaodao asked in a low voice.

  Shen Xiang burst out laughing: "Xiao Dao, you'd better cultivate well, otherwise I'll leave you far behind! With me being able to grow to this extent on my own, what do I need a master for?"

  "Little Knife, you've paid respects to your master, but didn't invite us out for a drink? You're not being very generous!" Zhu Rong chuckled as he walked over. Ever since he found out that Shen Xiang was an alchemist and had many resources at his disposal, he'd been coming here every day. Shen Xiang currently had 700 True Qi Pills, making him one of the wealthier inner disciples.

  "Dead fatty, you only know how to take advantage of me! I've known you for so long, and it seems like you've never treated me before!" Yun Xiaodao scolded.

  "Who said that? Last time we went out together, I treated you to a bowl of noodles!" Zhu Rong immediately retorted, with a look of grievance on his face.

  "Get out of here! That bowl of noodles is crap, I've been scooping for half a day and there's not even a bit of meat." Yun Xiao Dao walked over and kicked him.

  Zhu Rong said with a bad temper: "That's also considered an invitation, you're the first person I've ever invited to eat noodles!"

  "By the way, Shen Xiang, the Ta Dan Institute is holding a dan medicine competition. Are you going? The reward is two True Qi Dans!"

  "What about the rules of the competition?" Shen Xiang's heart skipped a beat as he hastily asked.

  "What's the big deal? It's the same as every year, whoever refines the most high-quality True Qi Pills within the specified time will win!" Zhu Rong said with a smile, rubbing his meaty palms together.

  Shen Xiang's mouth corners slightly curved upwards, a confident smile spreading across his face as he said in one breath: "I'll go settle it!"

  As he spoke, he quickly walked out of the Wu Institute and headed towards the Tai Dan Institute. In the past few days, he had also learned about the location of the Tai Dan Institute, which was partially located near the Xuanjing area and partially within it.

  Shen Xiang arrived at the eighth courtyard of Tai Dan Institute and unexpectedly ran into Yao Hai Sheng!

  "How is it you again? What are you doing here?" Yao Hai Sheng was surprisingly in charge of the registration work, he last time because of handling Shen Xiang's matter too excessively, so he no longer took care of outside work.

  The enemy's path is narrow, Shen Xiang didn't expect to meet Yao Hai Sheng, but he had heard that Yao Hai Sheng was a three-stage alchemy master who could refine spiritual-grade middle-tier pills, so he still had some prestige in the Tai Wu Men. No wonder he was so arrogant that day.

  "I'm here to sign up for the competition," Shen Xiang said.

  Yao Hai Sheng saw Shen Xiang and flew into a rage. He was now going to help Shen Xiang pay the tuition for entering Tai Wu Men, let alone that Shen Xiang had beaten his disciple into a severe injury.

  Yun Xiaodao and Zhu Rong did not expect that Shen Xiang would encounter his second arch-nemesis in the Taiwu Gate.

  "Are you kidding me? Can you even refine a True Qi Pill? If you fail, you'll have to pay back the cost of the materials with your own crystal stones. Three consecutive failures and you're automatically out." said Yao Haisheng disdainfully.

  Shen Xiang just learned from Zhu Rong that the materials for this alchemy competition were all provided by Taiwu Gate, and the preparation time is ten days. The main purpose is to quickly consume a large amount of spiritual energy medicine that has been stored for too long. In this way, not only can we quickly obtain a batch of spiritual energy pills, but also allow the alchemists under our gate to learn from each other, achieving two goals at once.

  "Of course I can!" Shen Xiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Yun Xiaodao shouted at this time: "Shen Gege can not only participate, but he must also win first place and take away those two True Yuan Dan."

  "Hah!" Yao Hai Sheng suddenly burst out laughing: "If this inexperienced little kid can win first place, how can we old guys who have been stuck in Tai Dan Institute for many years show our faces? If he can win first place, I'll acknowledge him as my master!"

  Shen Xiang couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, as if he could see the middle-aged man in front of him, who was laughing wildly, bowing down to him as his master.

  Many people in the Ta Dan courtyard cast disdainful glances, Shen Xiang no matter how talented he is, he's only seventeen years old, at this age being able to refine a mortal-grade upper-level pellet is already not bad, let alone refining a spiritual-grade lower-level True Qi Pellet which still has a long way to go. After all, those who have refined True Qi Pellets before know that they need to fail at least hundreds of times to succeed, they think Shen Xiang can't afford the massive consumption of medicinal materials.

  Suddenly, a cold and gloomy voice came: "If Shen Xiang wins first place, I'll make an exception and let him enter the Tai Dan Wang Institute!"
