And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 247

“In the past competitions, because our Medicine King Valley did not have much of an advantage compared to the other sects, our ranking was not very ideal. But this time, with Young Friend Gu’s participation, I believe that our Medicine King Valley will definitely change the past, and even have a chance of getting first place!”

On the high platform, Wu Nanshan was speaking passionately.

Beside him, Gu Xi appeared to be a little embarrassed.

Wu Nanshan’s short few words were simply bullsh*tting for him!

If the results of the competition were not ideal, then the responsibility would fall on him.

However, for the champion of this competition, Gu Xi was determined to get it!

He must get that Snowfall Fungus!

As expected, as soon as Wu Nanshan’s words fell, many disciples below the stage began to whisper to each other.

…..

“Is this Gu Xi so supreme-rulerly? Can he lead our Medicine King Valley to the champion spot by himself?”

“I admit that this guy’s alchemy skill is indeed unparalleled, but this Spirit-chasing Competition has nothing to do with alchemy. In the end, it still depends on the real ability of his subordinates. It’s difficult to get the first place!”

“Sigh, our Medicine King Valley hasn’t even entered the top ten for so many years. Could it be possible for Gu Xi to win the championship by herself?”

“Has the Valley Master become muddle-headed due to old age?”

“Pui! What nonsense are you spouting, Kid?!”

Voices rang out one after another. It was clear that everyone did not believe Wu Nanshan’s words.

It was no wonder. After all, the strength of the Medicine King Valley itself was on the surface. Moreover, for such a large sect to rely on one person to rise in the competition, it sounded like a fantasy.

However, no matter how much of a fantasy it was, it was not impossible.

Although Gu Xi could not hear what everyone was saying, he already had a rough guess based on their performance.

However, he did not think much of it.

In any case, he entered the competition purely to recover his own strength. He did not care at all whether these people believed him or not.

Moreover, could it be that he did not participate because others did not believe him?

On the contrary, Cao Hua, who was at the side, was very happy when he saw the reactions of the crowd.

“The competition this time will depend on you. All of you should set off as soon as possible.”

After giving another speech, Wu Nanshan sent the five people out of the mountain gate.

“Although I can not guarantee that I will win the championship, I promise that I will do my best.” Gu Xi cupped his hands together towards Wu Nanshan and spoke in a deep voice.

“It’s fine as long as you do your best.” Wu Nanshan nodded. The confidence in Gu Xi in his heart did not diminish.

Gu Xi did not hesitate any longer and took the lead to turn around and leave.

“Goodbye, Valley Master!” Liu Qingqing also cried out to Wu Nanshan before hurriedly following.

Soon after, the figures of the few of them became increasingly distant.

“I wonder what kind of results Medicine King Valley will obtain this time around,” Wu Nanshan muttered as he looked at the somewhat skinny figure in the middle of the five of them.

“With this fellow joining us, it is likely that the competition this time around will be very interesting.”

Wu Nanshan only left after the figures of the few of them completely disappeared with a chuckle.

…

Under Wu Nanshan’s arrangement, Gu Xi would be the team leader of the participating team. All matters related to the competition had to be carried out according to Gu Xi’s arrangements without any disobedience.

There was no need to say anything more about Little Nine. Naturally, Gu Xi would be the leader. As for Liu Qingqing and Wang Shi, although they were somewhat puzzled in their hearts, they still chose to listen to the Valley Master’s arrangements.

As for Cao Hua, he agreed quite well on the surface, but in his heart, he was naturally quite unconvinced of Gu Xi.

Along the way, the few of them were silent. Only Liu Qingqing would occasionally say a few lively words, but very quickly, they fell into silence.

“Since we have nothing to do, why don’t you tell me about this Spirit-chasing Competition?”

Along the way, Gu Xi suddenly spoke, and his gaze fell on Liu Qingqing in front of him.

Since Liu Qingqing was familiar with the route, she was the one leading the way.

“Of course, no problem.” Liu Qing Qing smiled sweetly and pondered for a moment, she continued, “This Spirit-chasing Competition was organized by the Great Luo Palace many years ago. It has been going on for decades now, and our Medicine King Valley has participated in almost every competition. However, the results are not ideal and we can’t even get into the top ten.”

“Is this competition that difficult?” Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and could not help but feel curious.

“That’s right. In every competition, all the reputable sects and powers on the continent, including all kinds of ancient families, would send their best of the younger generation to participate. In other words, they would train hard.”

“However, this kind of competition is not a medicine refining competition. It is not something that our Medicine King Valley is good at. Therefore, the results are naturally not ideal.”

“Even in the past years, many of the disciples of our Medicine King Valley who participated in the competition have always stayed on that field.”

Speaking up to this point, Liu Qingqing’s eyes could not help but turn red.

Participating in the competition this time, whether or not she could return was also unknown.

“Stayed on that field?” Gu Xi keenly caught the words in Liu Qingqing’s words and asked.

“That’s right.” Liu Qingqing nodded, adjusted her emotions, and continued, “The competition venue of the Spirit-chasing Competition is different from other competitions. The venue is set up in an ancient planar battlefield.”

Hearing the words ‘planar battlefield’, Gu Xi’s eyes could not help but light up.

The so-called planar battlefield was a special space that was different from the continent. It was created by a big shot who was at least at the Emperor level. In general, it was similar to a Secret Realm.

In the ancient planar battlefield, a large number of ancient cultivators must have fallen!

It was dangerous, but at the same time, it was accompanied by great opportunities!

If one was lucky enough, one might even be able to obtain the inheritance left behind by the ancient cultivators on the way to the competition!

Even if there was no inheritance, any of the cultivation techniques and spirit skills left behind would be out of print. If they were auctioned off, it would not be a dream to make a fortune!

“The competition venue is set in the planar battlefield, where opportunities and dangers coexist. However, these aren’t the things that caused our Medicine King Valley disciples to continuously fall.”

“Instead, it’s the other factions that are also participants!”

“Our Medicine King Valley disciples aren’t very good at fighting. In the hearts of the other sects, we simply don’t have the qualifications to participate in the competition. Therefore, every time there’s a competition, they will think of ways to ridicule and even suppress us. Once we enter the planar battlefield, if we make them unhappy, they will even kill our disciples!”

Liu Qingqing opened her mouth again, her words full of hatred.

She had a good friend who had fallen in this competition!
