Its still early, Liu Wuxie put down his things and walked out of the yard. Lei Tao also came out at this time.

  "I want to go out for a walk, are you coming with me?"

  He glanced at Lei Tao and asked aloud, having personally witnessed Liu Wuxies refining of the Tianling Dan. Lei Taos attitude towards him had undergone a drastic change, privately addressing him as Master Liu.

  "The master of the pavilion instructed me to be in charge of your safety."

  The matter of exterminating the Washing Spirit Realm was only known to Father-in-law and a few attendants, while the matter of the mine vein was completely sealed off, and all the guards were given a gag order.

  The two left the courtyard, they arrived relatively late, other teams from major cities, some had already arrived yesterday. Liu Wuxie glanced around, each courtyard was closed and prohibited outsiders from entering.

  Clothing, food, shelter and transportation are all unified distribution, all handed over to Chan Cheng Fen Ge for handling.

  Passing through the main gate, walking down the stone steps, occasionally running into other major city alchemists, Lei Tong participated for seven or eight years, getting familiar with the faces, secretly telling Liu Wuxie about the people he knew.

  "Lei Tao, I heard Xiao Mingyi mention that this year Canglan City has changed its Dan refining master?"

  The two of them were blocked by someone on their way, a young man with big strides, standing in front of Lei Tong, with two guards standing behind him. Xiao Mingyi was the alchemist of Wu Bian City, and Yunlans direct disciple.

  "Wen Song Gongzi, what does it have to do with you whether weve changed our alchemy master in Canglang City or not?"

  Lei Taos face was exposed with displeasure, his tone neither cold nor lukewarm. He had some aversion to this Wen Song, and looked at him with a face full of disgust.

  "I just want to get to know each other and have a chat, is there something wrong with that?"

  Wen Songs gaze swept towards Liu Wuxie, a hint of mockery floating at the corner of his mouth. Earlier, he had run into Xiao Mingyi and mentioned Canglang City, only to learn that they had changed their alchemy master.

  Liu Wuxie hadnt spoken yet, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Last year, Canglang City ranked thirty-fifth, second to last. Coincidentally, Wen Song was from Fengrao City, which ranked thirty-fourth last year, only one place higher than Canglang City.

  Know yourself and know your enemy, you can win every battle.

  If it were Master Huo who came, Wen Song wouldnt be too concerned. His alchemy skills surpassed Master Huos by a margin, and as long as he didnt end up in last place, his current ranking would be stable.

  This year is different, Master Huo did not come to participate, replaced by a new alchemist, must get a clear understanding of the opponents background, otherwise it will be a loss for Fengyuan City, meaning that this year Fengyuan City will be at the bottom, ranking last.

  "Tomorrow is the Lundan Conference, Mr. Wen Song wants to communicate, there are plenty of opportunities, we have something else to attend to, so well take our leave!"

  Lei Tao was very impatient, telling them to hurry up and make way. As a newcomer, he took Liu Wuxie to familiarize himself with the environment and broaden his horizons.

  "Youre just a small fry, get out of my sight."

  After Wen Song relaxed his body, the two guards took a step forward, and the overbearing momentum of the innate crushed over, determined to probe Liu Wuxie, with an unreasonable look.

  Its not uncommon for things to escalate into violence at the slightest disagreement, especially in some of the larger cities that are often ridiculed.

  Many people gathered from a distance, pointing and whispering, among them many alchemists from other major cities, all stopping to watch.

  "Whats going on between Fengyuan City and Canglang City in broad daylight?"

  A young man in white clothes walked up the steps and stood not far away, making a puzzled sound.

  "Report back to Zuo Gongzi, I heard that Canglang City has changed its Dan refining master. The two families have the possibility of being eliminated this year, so its normal for them to probe ahead of time."

  An old man in his fifties walked out beside him and said respectfully.

  "Look quickly, isnt that Mr. Zuo Hong? Last year he represented Huacheng and achieved a good result of third place!"

  A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd, with all eyes fixed on the young man in white, and no one noticed Lü Wú Xiāos presence anymore.

  Five bodyguards appeared behind Zuo Hong, forming a circle to block others from approaching. Many screaming girls shouted out Zuo Hongs name.

  The status of the alchemist is extremely high, especially for such a young alchemist. Its said that last year, Zuo Hong had already completed the three-star assessment, and more importantly, he was also a senior student at the Imperial Academy, with a dual identity that solidified his position among the younger generation.

  At this age, with all sorts of halos surrounding him, he naturally became a sought-after figure.

  Two guards stood in front of Lei Tao, facing each other, neither willing to give an inch.

  "Hey kid, whats your name!"

  Wen Song strode over with a big smile, staring at Liu Wuxie. At this age, he had been practicing alchemy since birth, and was at most only a first-rate alchemist, but he really didnt take him seriously.

  Cold ridicule and spittle came flying at me.

  "Do you want to know?" Liu Wuxie suddenly smiled, that radiant smile, in the eyes of many people, was a sign of weakness: "What are you, and do you have the qualifications to ask me."

  The next sentence caught everyone off guard, and unexpectedly this little guy smiled harmlessly, but when he spoke, he was extremely overbearing.

  "Alright, you will soon find out if I am qualified or not."

  Wen Song was furious and scolded him in front of so many people, which was equivalent to slapping him in the face. How could he swallow this insult?

  "Liú Gōngzǐ, you hurry and go, Ill stay behind to hold them off."

  Lei Tao let out a low shout and pounced on the two guards, holding them back to allow Liu Wuxie to leave first, returning to Lundan Hall where fighting was prohibited.

  "Want to run!" Wen Song let out a cold laugh, his aura becoming even more intimidating, and with one step, he appeared in front of Liu Wuxie: "You little brat, let me show you what happens when you offend me, Wen Song. First, Ill cripple you, and then see how you participate in the Lian Dan Conference tomorrow."

  What a ruthless and vicious move, disabling Liu Wuxie means that Canglang City loses its qualification for the Dan Conference, and Fengyuan City retains its current ranking, this is their true intention.

  The Innate Fourfold Momentum, overwhelming and crushing, formed a storm, with palms as large as a winnowing fan, fanning towards Liu Wuxies left cheek.

  "You trash also dare to jump around in front of me!"

  Liu Wus eyes flashed with a fierce and ruthless aura, his body remained still, he lightly raised his palm, and struck down without any trajectory.

  "Bang..."

  A crisp slap echoed through the crowd, contrary to everyones expectations. Liu Wuxie remained standing in place, while Wen Song flew backward and rolled down the stone steps, his body making cracking sounds as he fell, probably breaking several bones.

  Zuo Hongs eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind was shaken by that palm strike just now. There was no trajectory, no warning signs at all.

  There was no gap in Wen Songs dodging, how did he manage to not only break through Wen Songs palm but also slap him in the face, it was simply unbelievable, even he couldnt do that.

  It rolled all the way down to the bottom step of the stone stairs before finally coming to a stop, its face covered in blood.

  Two guards came too late to fight with Lei Tao, and quickly ran down to help Wen Song up, whose clothes were covered in blood.

  When the crowd exposed ugliness, Wen Song had never encountered such a thing. The terrifying killing intent enveloped an area of hundreds of meters. A long sword appeared in his hand and rushed straight towards Liu Wuxie.

  He is a two-star alchemist, has been highly respected all along, but suffered a crushing defeat, losing face completely, and cant recover, how will he stand in the future.

  "Thats enough!"

  A cold voice interrupted Wen Song, and Zuo Hong walked over from a distance. If they continued to fight like this, what kind of scene would it be?

  "Zuo Gongzi!"

  Wen Song hastily bowed down and saluted, his attitude extremely respectful.

  "Everyone represents Dan Bao Ge to participate in the discussion, although its not a big city, their status is the same, they should support each other instead of fighting with each other. Can you, Wen brother, give me some face and let this matter pass today?"

  Zuo Hong was very polite, and this remark brought a lot of applause.

  "But he slapped me, this matter cant be settled like this."

  Wen Song gritted his teeth and dared not offend Zuo Hong, so he could only vent his anger on Liu Wuxies body, with no reduction in murderous intent.

  "Why dont I apologize on behalf of this brother, and well just drop the matter, so as not to spoil the harmony."

  Zuo Hong finished speaking, and Chao Wen Song bowed slightly, apologizing on behalf of Liu Wu Xie, earning the respect of many people, who were willing to lower their status to resolve the grudges between them.

  A few short sentences, harvesting countless peoples adoration.

  "This..."

  Its Wen Songs turn to be in trouble, Zuo Hong didnt mind lowering his status and took the initiative to apologize for Liu Wuxie. If he continued to make a fuss, it would only make him appear arrogant and overbearing. Zuo Hong was too popular, if he didnt agree, he would be attacked by everyone, and if he did, he could only swallow this bitter humiliation.

  "Sir, lets just forget it."

  The attendants behind him came over and pulled on Wen Songs sleeve, telling him not to fight anymore. Zuo Hong stepped in to intervene, knowing that they definitely couldnt win the fight, and it would be embarrassing for them if they continued.

  "Hey kid, you just wait for me, tomorrow Ill make a fool of you."

  Wen Song left a ruthless remark and quickly departed with his guards, not wanting to linger for a moment, having lost face today.

  No excitement to see, the crowd dispersed, leaving Liu Wuxie and Zuo Hong standing on the stone steps.

  "Hua Cheng Zuo Hong, I dont know how to address you, sir?"

  Embracing with a fist, very enthusiastic, beautiful face, born with a kind of intimacy, making people feel like spring breeze.

  "Thanks to Left Brothers timely intervention, the evil has been dispelled from Changlang City."

  They exchanged greetings and considered each other acquaintances, with Liu being much younger than his counterpart.

  "It should be me thanking Wen Song instead. Thanks for holding back, its definitely him who will make a fool of himself. Thank you, Brother Liu, for showing mercy."

  Others may not be clear, but Zuo Hong saw it clearly. Just now, that palm, Liu Wuxie didnt use his full strength. If he really hit hard, not only would a palm print be left behind, but the head could also be knocked askew.

  Liu Wuxie smiled slightly, but didnt expose him. Zuo Hong was in the Washing Spirit Realm and some things couldnt be hidden from him. Just now, he had indeed held back. Wen Song was detestable, but his crime wasnt punishable by death.

  After chatting for a while, they each left. Zuo Hong returned to Lundan Building, and Liu Wuxie entered Chan City to experience the local customs and people.

  "Master Liu, this Zuo Hong has a reputation for being a clean and honest official. It wont hurt to build a good relationship with him."

  Lei Tao stepped forward quickly, mentioning Zuo Hong, with a face full of admiration. The name Qing Shi is not something that everyone can possess.

  What is Qing Shi?

  Teachers are divided into three levels: instructors who teach are called tutors, those who cultivate people are called qing teachers, and those who pass on traditions are called shifu.

  Many instructors at Imperial Academy are responsible for teaching and imparting knowledge from books, but many secrets require self-enlightenment.

  Qing Shi is different, with a broad meaning that includes nurturing people. In recent years, Zuo Hong has not hesitated to point out other alchemists, earning him a high reputation and the title of Qing Shi.

  Successors are even more different, respecting teachers and valuing morality, masters are like reborn parents, passing on kindness and teaching professions.

  "This man is not simple!"

  Liu Wuxies mouth corners slightly curved upwards as he stepped into the bustling streets without revealing anything.
