Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

239 Almost

Kong Xing did not quite understand what he meant. Was it too expensive? Aren’t alchemists very rich? Kong Xing replied honestly.

[That’s basically the price.]

When Dong Xi saw this news, he knew that Kong Xing had been duped.

In the cultivation world, there were many people who had lived for hundreds of years. A simple Buddhist like Kong Xing was too easy to deceive.

!!

Dong Xi thought of her Second Senior Brother’s words that one pill could be sold for thousands of top-grade spirit stones. Dong Xi simply replied to the message.

[Senior Brother, I’ll give you 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. If you have any more pill recipes in the future, you can sell them to me first. How about it?]

Kong Xing was speechless.

Kong Xing looked on, not quite daring to recognize the words ‘10,000 top-grade spirit stones’. It was just a pill recipe, how could it be sold for such a high price? Furthermore, this was not some peerless pill recipe, right?

The well-behaved Kong Xing hurriedly replied.

[Isn’t this too expensive? I can sell it for cheaper. 10,000 is too much…]

In the end, after several rejections, Dong Xi forcibly bought the pill recipe for 8888 top-grade spirit stones.

Dong Xi sent the price directly to her Second Senior Brother. Not long after, the restriction was activated again.

Dong Xi hurriedly opened it. A deer was standing outside with a storage bag.

He took the storage bag and opened it. It was full of top-grade spirit stones.

The beautiful luster made people envious.

Just as Dong Xi was about to close the storage bag, a voice transmission talisman flew out.

Song Qingfeng said, “I’ve checked it once with my spiritual sense. It should be enough. Check it again. If it’s not enough, let me know. If there’s any short, I’ll give it to you.”

Dong Xi was shocked by Second Senior Brother’s pride. As expected, she still had to hang out with Second Senior Brother.

Dong Xi took out all the spirit stones and called Liu Qing over to count them together. She found that there was an extra 30.

Previously, she had only accepted a set of equipment to help her Second Senior Brother pay off his 60 years of alchemy duty. Now that she had so many top-grade spirit stones, Dong Xi did not dare to keep them. She had to find a time to return them to her Second Senior Brother.

As for Kong Xing, she would mail it after the sect competition ended.

On the second day, Dong Xi was still not in the arena. She returned to her cave abode to cultivate, not resting at all.

On the third day, Wang Ying sent a message to Dong Xi.

[Junior Sister, it’s your turn to compete.]

He also gave Dong Xi’s opponent’s information. Dong Xi’s opponent was a disciple of the Equipment Refining Sect who was already at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage. He had entered the sect 20 years earlier than Dong Xi and was now only one step away from the tenth level of the Qi Refinement stage.

There was a saying in the cultivation world that if one successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of 30, they could reach the Golden Core stage.

If one could not reach Foundation Establishment before the age of 30, then they would just be so-so in this life.

This disciple was now 29 years old, and only had one year left. Even though he knew that the chances of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill were slim, he had no choice but to take the risk.

When he found out that his opponent was a disciple who had just entered the sect two years ago, Duan Leng felt very lucky. The first round became a guaranteed win.

However, Duan Leng knew that his opponent was Dong Xi, and he instantly lost all hope.

Dong Xi cultivated non-stop every day. Although she only had three spirit roots, she was indeed a disciple of Daoist Lingxu and Daoist Yijian. In particular, the sword technique Dong Xi displayed on the sword testing stone was seen by everyone. That sword attack also showed Dong Xi’s strength.

Although Dong Xi had three spirit roots, Duan Leng did not know what Dong Xi’s current cultivation level was. Typically, if a disciple with three spiritual roots was a genius, they could not compare to a disciple with a single spirit root, let alone. genius like Chi Yan. Duan Leng would not lose…

When Dong Xi received the news, she immediately used spatial bending and quickly headed to the square.

The number 7 arena was occupied by Duan Leng, who was already standing on it. Duan Leng looked extremely thin, but he was holding a pair of iron hammers in his hands. When compared to his figure, he looked extremely strange.

Duan Leng looked at Dong Xi, who was quite a bit shorter. Dong Xi had a high ponytail, and almost all the girls in the sect were like this now.

“I am Dong Xi from the Alchemy Sect. Please give me some guidance, Senior Brother,” said Dong Xi with cupped fists.

Duan Leng also cupped his fists and said, “I’m Duan Leng from the Equipment Refining Sect. Junior sister, when the competition begins, I will do my best. I won’t show any mercy.”

Dong Xi immediately smiled and took out a sword from her storage ring. Dong Xi said, “Very well.”

Although it was a competition, one still had to use all their strength. If one kept trying to make the other party give in to them, they would have lost from the start.

The moment Dong Xi entered the arena, the arena’s restriction was activated.

“Look, Junior Sister Dong Xi is on the stage!” The people outside the ring shouted.

Many disciples of the Sword Sect and the Alchemy Sect were looking at the other arenas casually. When they heard her words, they all gathered around her. Their Junior Sister’s cultivation was not high. She had no advantage in such a competition. They could lose in the competition, but they could not lose in terms of momentum!
