Chapter 83: Bi Xia's Thoughts

  "Wait, now that you mention it, I think we've met somewhere before. Wait a minute, let me think! Zhang Cheng knew he couldn't deceive her anymore, so he said: "Oh, right, I remember now, we met at the foot of the mountain today, I remember you."

  "You remembered, huh? Your memory is really good, you forgot what happened in the afternoon by the evening." Shen Ying said with a bad tone.

  "Hehe, wasn't I doing that to avoid conflict with you guys? I was also helpless... By the way, are you here to summon me on behalf of your sect?" Zhang Cheng didn't want to continue entangling himself in this matter with her and directly changed the subject.

  "Yes, it was the sect leader who sent me here!" Shen Ying replied.

  "What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Zhang Cheng said directly, without giving her a chance to speak.

  "Hmm!" Shen Ying saw Zhang Cheng like this, and didn't continue to entangle him. She turned around and took Zhang Cheng away from this place.

  All the way without a word, when Zhang Cheng arrived at Dan Fang's place, he found six people standing in front of the door, including Bi Xia Zhen Ren, a total of six people.

  However, what surprised him was that apart from Bi Xia, he couldn't see the cultivation of the other five people at all. Moreover, he could faintly feel a sense of pressure emanating from their bodies, which led Zhang Cheng to infer that these five people might be high-ranking Golden Dan experts.

  As a result, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to reassess the strength of this Bixia Sect.

  They are the Tiān Fēng Mén near Shǎo Yang City, which can be said to be one of the top two major sects in the area. However, only the leader Zhao Yuanshan has achieved Golden Elixir cultivation.

  And here, there are five of them, not including Bi Xia, a prenatal master, and their strength can be seen at a glance.

  But what he didn't understand was that Bixia's formation meant what, was it to prove something for herself or give herself a boost of confidence?

  "It's really making me feel uneasy to have all of you seniors waiting for me here!" Although Zhang Cheng was surprised by this lineup, he couldn't lose the basic courtesy.

  "We just arrived too, didn't wait for long." Bixia said.

  "Oh, are all the medicinal materials ready? If they're ready, then I can start refining!" Zhang Cheng felt some pressure facing so many Golden Dan period experts, so he wanted to understand the situation as soon as possible and leave.

  "It's all been put in Danfang already, you can go take a look!" replied Bi Xia Zhenren.

  "Oh, okay, so I'll..."

  "Wait a minute!" Zhang Cheng's words were cut off by a man standing next to Bi Xia, who raised his hand to interrupt him.

  "What?" Zhang Cheng glanced at the man, his attire was very ordinary, a cyan robe, with a Chongtian crown on his head, his eyes were deep and spirited, one look and you could tell he wasn't an ordinary person.

  Moreover, he looked at his own eyes with a playful expression, which made Zhang Cheng feel that this person might also be Dan Sheng.

  However, he didn't like being looked at with a condescending gaze by others, so his first impression of this person wasn't very good. At the same time, because this person had interrupted him while speaking, he also showed a hint of displeasure.

  "It's nothing, I heard that Little Friend is a disciple of the Dan Tao Sect. I don't know who Little Friend's master is?" Although this person didn't say much and his tone was good, his expression was very arrogant, which made Zhang Cheng feel very fake.

  "Heh heh, I'd like to ask, am I your disciple and do you have a relationship with me?" Zhang Cheng glanced at this person and thought: "You're not arrogant, but I'm even more arrogant. Let's see who can be more arrogant than whom."

  "You..." This person obviously didn't expect Zhang Cheng to respond in such a way, but thinking of the other's identity, he swallowed his anger and continued: "Hehe, little friend spoke too heavily. Who you are apprenticed to has nothing to do with me, I was just curious. If it's inconvenient for you to say, then let's just forget I asked!"

  "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go in!" Zhang Cheng said somewhat impatiently.

  "Oh, I have one more thing to ask, if the young friend doesn't mind, can we watch from the side when the young friend is refining the elixir? I'm also an alchemist and am very curious about the Dan Dao Sect's elixir refinement techniques!" he said.

  "I mind!" Zhang Cheng said bluntly, without giving him any face.

  "You..."

  "Alright, Elder Wang, since he's being stubborn, don't force him! " Bi Xia interrupted Wang Chong and then turned to Zhang Cheng: "Zhang Xiao You, Elder Wang didn't mean anything else. The Dan room is ready, you can go in now. I guarantee no one will disturb you."

  "Uh-huh!" Zhang Cheng nodded and walked into the Dan room. However, his attitude towards Bi Xia had undergone some subtle changes.

  Because he felt that these five people were actually sent by her on purpose, although he didn't know what she meant, but it was clear that there was some idea behind it, which made him very uncomfortable.

  After entering the Dan room, Zhang Cheng casually closed the door and looked around, only to see a large Dan tripod sitting in the center of the room, with deep red earth fire burning inside.

  Next to the Dan Ding were various medicinal materials neatly arranged, Zhang took a deep breath and then took out the Hun Ding and threw it into the Dan Ding, and then began to refine.

  Because he had previously recorded the feelings of various elixirs at each stage deeply in his soul, so now he can even determine when this elixir should condense and when it should become a pill without looking with his eyes, just by feeling. Therefore, the speed of refining is extremely fast.

  The main point is that every time the elixir is formed, a stream of elixir energy is released from the medicine and absorbed by the soul cauldron, resulting in a slight increase in the soul power within.

  Although the degree of improvement is not very obvious, after several hundred, the effect is very obvious.

  Outside the Dan house, Bi Xia looked at the tightly closed door with a furrowed brow, seemingly lost in thought. Meanwhile, Wang Chang Lao, who had just spoken to Zhang Cheng, walked up beside Bi Xia and said: "Head of the sect, this person's soul strength is extremely high, indeed a good candidate for Dan refinement. Moreover, when he spoke earlier, his words were filled with strong confidence, showing that he has great faith in this Dan refinement."

  "There's another thing, this person is very young, but his reaction is very sensitive. I just intentionally showed a slightly unfriendly expression, and he noticed it right away. I think he may have already guessed that we came here because you deliberately arranged it."

  "This matter, I didn't plan to hide it from him. Today, I called you here just to let you see how much potential he has and how much benefit he can bring to our Bixia Sect in the future. This will determine how much we invest in him in the early stages."

  "Just now, Elder Wang proposed to enter the observation room, but he refused without hesitation. It can be seen that he is a cautious person. However, I feel that his way of doing things and leading people seems too harsh, which can easily lead to mistakes. As the saying goes, 'excessive rigidity leads to easy breakage'. Although his natural talent is not low, I think this person is prone to being cut off midway." A middle-aged woman who was standing beside him took a step forward and said.

  "Heh heh, what you see is just the surface. I don't think so. Just now, you should have felt it - that move he used to deal with Bishui at any time, if my guess isn't wrong, that's at least a full-force blow from a late-stage Deity of Division. If that blow were to land on me, unless I use the Sealing Technique, I would undoubtedly die." Bi Xia said.

  "What, is it really this strong?" The five people beside him said in extreme shock.

  They were all within the range of Bixia Sect before, so they also felt that vast and powerful momentum. At that time, they thought it was just Bixia's anger, but now it seems they still underestimated the power of that blow.

  They originally couldn't understand Bishui's encounter, but now it seems that she was lucky to have survived such a blow.

  "If such an attack were to happen again, then if I were him, I would do the same. After all, Qingyun is still in this place. Moreover, he is extremely intelligent and had already seen that I was testing him earlier. He didn't refuse to give us the information probably because of Qingyun." Bixia said.

  "Impossible! He's still so young, how can he have such a meticulous mind!" Wang Lao asked in some disbelief.

  "Although I didn't want to believe it, but the fact is that way. Originally, I wanted to see his true Dan formation rate and predict what he could achieve in the future, so as to determine how much investment to make on him. Now it seems that we can only wait until he finishes refining before making any calculations." Bixia said helplessly.

  "So that's how it is!" At this moment, they finally understood why Bi Xia had done so.

  In their eyes, Bi Xia would never do anything meaningless. In her eyes, the interests of the sect were paramount, and as long as she could gain enough benefits for her sect, she would go all out to achieve it.

  Moreover, her mind is meticulous, her vision is unique, and her rewards and punishments are strict. It is by relying on these that she can make the Bi Xia sect so stable, and its strength is becoming stronger and stronger.

  But when they first learned about this matter, they did not understand why Bi Xia was so lenient with Zhang Cheng, only pursuing a part of his responsibility.

  Judging from Bixia's usual way of handling things, she won't let Zhang Cheng off easily.

  After all, the loss that Zhang Cheng brought to Bi Xia Sect was too great. A golden elixir cultivator was defeated and fell back to foundation building stage, greatly weakening Bi Xia Sect's strength.

  But now they finally understand, she is fishing for a big catch with a long line.

  Now it seems that Zhang Cheng is indeed a big fish, which makes them admire Bi Xia's insight.
