Earthfire fine gold is a refining material. Even if the energy is completely consumed, it has no effect as a refining material. In the future, Lu Chen will need to use the groundfire fine gold to refine a magic weapon that is handy.

Although the spirit fire has been refined to the highest level, it is still impossible to refine the magic weapon that will satisfy Lu Chen. It must be real fire.

It is estimated that only after reaching the Dongxuan realm or above can you start refining the artifact.

What's more, even if he wanted to refine the utensils now, it was not enough to rely on the same material as ground fire fine gold. He also needed the assistance of various other materials, so Lu Chen was not in a hurry now.

After retreating for a month, Lu Chen finally came out of the practice room again.

During his more than half a year in the Nebula Sect, he could be regarded as a reclusive person. Apart from cultivating in the practice room, he was reading books in the classics pavilion. Forget.

The original "pseudo-genius" incident also seems to have subsided with the passage of time.

However, Lu Chen knew that the Nangong family would definitely not stop there, and he dared not underestimate the ability of the Nangong family to stalk them.

Lu Chen just walked out of the training room not far, and came to the square near Zixiao Mountain. Suddenly, he saw a large group of people crowding together in the distance. Lu Chen walked up and found that Su Xuan was fighting with people.

With one enemy and three opponents, Su Xuan was also at the early stage of Xiantian realm, so Su Xuan was able to stay out of the way.

Lu Chen felt a little strange in his heart and squeezed into the crowd.

Originally, this place was also a place for competitions, but it was very strange that Su Xuan was fighting with people here.

Su Xuan is an inner disciple, and the other three are also inner disciples wearing blue clothes. It is really a strange thing for the four inner disciples to fight on the Zixiao Mountain where the elite disciples are located.

In addition to their four inner disciples, there were also several inner disciples of the Nangong family, as well as Huang Yu, Wen Xueping, and other elite disciples whom they had met in Xuanwu Hall. A large crowd was watching.

"Su Xuan, what's going on?" Lu Chen walked up and asked.

As soon as Su Xuan saw Lu Chen approaching, he immediately withdrew from the battle and said, "Brother Chen, I came to Zixiao Mountain to apply for becoming an elite disciple, but the elders are not allowed. These people also came out to embarrass me, and they were rude and insulted Brother Chen, Just **** it."

With Su Xuan's strength, he was already qualified to become an elite disciple.

The Earth Fire Gold made a great improvement in his cultivation. Originally, he was stronger than the average inner disciple, but now one can defeat three, even the elite disciples.

"Hmph, what? Don't even look in the mirror. With your virtue, you still want to be an elite disciple?" The one who spoke was an inner disciple. The three of them couldn't beat Su Xuan with their shots. Su Xuan's strength has undoubtedly been obtained. It was proved, but these people didn't want to see Su Xuan become an elite disciple, humiliated and obstructed in every possible way.

"It seems that the quota of elite disciples cannot be applied for." Lu Chen thought for a while and waved his hand to let Su Xuan retire, "But I will go to Xuanwu Hall to recommend to the elders of the inner hall, it should not be a problem, as for these people, you don't have to have ordinary knowledge with them. , let's go, go to Xuanwu Hall."

If Su Xuan can also become an elite disciple, then he will be able to be assigned to a separate practice room, his status will be greatly improved, and there will be many generous benefits, which is naturally a good thing.

"It's just you? How big do you think you are? To actually recommend it to the elders of the inner hall, do you overestimate your own identity?" The speaker was Nangong Ping of the Nangong family. When he came out to block the road, he seemed to have plans to take action against Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said indifferently: "What? Do I have the qualifications to say no, don't you say it? Look at your posture, do you want to give me some tips?"

Lu Chen didn't show any momentum, but as soon as these words came out, Nangong Ping involuntarily took a few steps back, as if a cat saw a tiger. Even if the tiger didn't want to kill the cat, the aura of the beast emanated. , which can make life retreat.

Nangong Ping immediately realized that his performance was obviously showing weakness. In the public, it was a shame. He roared violently and punched Lu Chen.

Nangong Ping himself knew how big the gap between the two was. Even Nangong Xuan was not an opponent. His shot was just a joke, but he lost his mind in anger, and his instinctual viciousness broke out, so he had to teach Lu Chen a lesson.

Lu Chen didn't even look at Nangong Ping's shot, he kicked him to the ground with one kick.

"You!" Nangong Ping yelled, and fell a dog and gnawed at the mud.

However, he did not attack Lu Chen again. The gap between the two was too large, and there was no need to fight.

"Let's go together." Nangong Ping suddenly called out.

Immediately, three inner disciples rushed up, the three who had besieged Su Xuan earlier.

"It turns out that you are all the lackeys of the Nangong family, no wonder you can't get along with us." Lu Chen smiled.

The three disciples at the early stage of the Innate Realm, it is indeed impossible for ordinary elites to compete, but they encountered Lu Chen.

Just as the three of them rushed over, Lu Chen suddenly stomped on the ground with one foot, and the whole earth shook violently. Before the three of them approached, they were immediately shaken, and Lu Chen kicked out ten with one kick. A few feet away.

"There are always so many flies to deal with, it's really annoying." Lu Chen turned around and was about to leave. Su Xuan followed closely.

Although the Nangong family is huge, the real masters will definitely not always have time to find trouble like Nangong Ping. Many warriors above the eighth level of the Xiantian realm have been in seclusion all year round to prepare for the impact on the cave realm, so there are no masters to take care of them. Lu Chen's gossip.

The onlookers did not dare to stop Lu Chen. Although there were experts at the fifth level of the Xiantian realm, they were not sure how to deal with Lu Chen. As for most of the people watching the fun, they had no hatred with Lu Chen, so naturally they could not run away. Offend Lu Chen.

As soon as Lu Chen walked out of the crowd, he saw a purple-clothed elder walking in the air, accompanied by a disciple of the Xuanwu Hall. Lu Chen happened to know this person. He was Mo Yuan who was in charge of the assessment when Lu Chen entered the Xuanwu Hall. A few months ago, when Lu Chen was studying the exercises in the Xuanwutang Classics Pavilion, he also met Mo Yuan several times.

As for the elder in the purple robe, he looked a little familiar, and looked like the inner hall elder of the Xuanwu Hall.

When everyone saw the elders from the inner door coming, they all bowed.

"Junior Brother Lu Chen, why are you here? We happened to be looking for you." Mo Yuan saw Lu Chen and said.

Lu Chen said, "I just came out of the practice room and retreated for a month."

"Junior Brother Lu, it's been half a year since you entered this sect, but you haven't done a single sect mission. Elder Gu Tian of Xuanwu Hall is very angry." Mo Yuan said, and glanced at the elder Ziyi next to him.

Lu Chen was stunned, it turned out that this inner door elder came to Zixiao Mountain specifically to find him.

Lu Chen said, "I've been practicing in seclusion, and I don't have much time to do sect tasks."

"No time?" Ziyi elder Gu Tian said unceremoniously, "Any elite disciple is no exception. Several tasks of the sect originally required your new disciples to cooperate together, but you are either in retreat or you can't see it. People, there are too many reasons to shirk, but Huang Yu, a disciple of the Xuanwu Hall who is also a new entry, was able to complete the task very well."

Gu Tian said, glanced at Huang Yu in the crowd, Huang Yu was praised by the elders of the inner door, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Most of his tasks were over-completed, and he did perform well, but many of them were helped by his cousin Wen Xueping, so the test of the sect task was not too difficult for him.

Lu Chen naturally didn't care about the sect's tasks. Those difficulties were mostly not challenging for him. Of course, according to the sect's rules, it was inappropriate to do nothing, because the sect had devoted a lot of resources to every elite disciple. cannot fail to pay back.

"Also, I heard that you didn't participate in the last rookie disciple competition?" Gu Tian asked with a serious face.

"I don't know what rookie disciple competition is." Lu Chen shook his head.

He really doesn't care about all kinds of things in the sect, and it is inevitable that he is a little bit blocked.

"It doesn't make sense if you don't even know this." Gu Tian was furious.

Su Xuan explained in a low voice beside Lu Chen: "Brother Chen, when you were still in seclusion half a month ago, the sect held a competition for new disciples. All the disciples who entered the sect this year should participate in it. I am because of you. I'm in retreat, I didn't tell you."

Su Xuan naturally understood Lu Chen's strength. Among the rookie disciples, only one Nangong Xuan could compete with Lu Chen twice, and the others were simply not enough. Such unchallenging competition is not necessary to participate in. With Lu Chen's temperament, he was too lazy to participate.

Lu Chen nodded: "So it is."

Mo Yuan said, "Junior Brother Lu, the purpose of the competition is to promote the communication between the disciples of the sect, so that everyone can be diligent in their cultivation and strive to be at the top. If an inner disciple beats an elite disciple, it will be valued and may be selected as an elite disciple, and an elite disciple will be selected. If a disciple can’t even beat the inner disciple, the quota will be revoked, this competition is also a kind of assessment and selection, so there are no special circumstances, everyone must participate.”

This Lu Chen knew that the selection of disciples through competitions would prevent elite disciples from enjoying themselves and not thinking about making progress. Speaking of which, it was really inappropriate not to participate in competitions.

"It's ok if you don't participate once, but you must participate next time, because the sect has regulations. Elite disciples who have performed poorly in two consecutive martial arts competitions will be demoted to ordinary inner disciples. You still have one chance, next time. Don't miss it." Mo Yuan said.

Lu Chen said: "Okay, I will definitely participate next time. As for the sect tasks, you can do them at any time. Please ask Elder Gu to arrange a few tasks."

The sect will arrange a contest every six months, and the next contest will be half a year later.

The crowd watched with interest.

"You have been in the sect for so long, you haven't done any tasks, you should be punished, so, the alchemist in Xuanwu Hall is in need of a tiger Jiao to make pills. If you go hunting for a tiger Jiao, you can complete ten tasks for ordinary elite disciples. ." Gu Tian said lightly.

Lu Chen is familiar with geography and exotic beasts, and knows that monsters like tiger Jiao generally have the strength of the late Xiantian realm. That is to say, at least a warrior of Xiantian seventh layer can be dealt with, and the strength of tiger Jiao is also strong. Weak and strong are close to the strength of the Profound Cave Realm, which is not a task that ordinary rookie disciples are qualified to contact.

At this moment, everyone looked surprised, and some were gloating at the misfortune. Obviously, such a task could not be completed at all. Elder Gutian was completely embarrassing Lu Chen.
