"That's not necessarily. I know my junior brother best. Putting aside his character, he is even better than me, just looking at his talent. If he hadn't been vicious and his nature was seen by our teacher, I believe his strength would have been above me. Moreover, Yue'er's girl is a disciple of Chenglin, which is well known to everyone in the emperor. If he had let him know, he would probably use this to promote it, and that reputation of Dantang would be bad."

"What should I do?" When Qiu Sheng heard Qing Chen say this, he immediately looked stern and said anxiously.

"What else can I do? Take one step at a time. I guess he will show up in person before the competition. Let's talk about it later." Qing Chen rubbed his forehead, and it was obvious that the war book incident had begun to annoy him.

"Du~"

Just as Qiu Sheng was still talking, a sudden knock on the door came from outside. Then, the boy had just flashed into the room and said, "Lord Liu, the Lord, ask for a meeting."

"Liu Changfeng?" Hearing this, Qiu Sheng raised his eyebrows and immediately felt a sense of joy surged onto the black monkey face.

After hearing the news from the little boy, Qingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking: This is Liu Changfeng, he is really deadly.

When Qingchen heard Liu Changfeng asking for a meeting, he couldn't help but shake his head in distress. Qingchen had an indescribable helplessness towards the newly promoted fourth-level alchemist in the Dan Hall, who was also the only third elder in the Dan Hall. Although Liu Changfeng had a somewhat extreme personality, he always went to the end with a stubbornness for some things he thought were important, and no one could twist him. Thinking about it, this request for a visit must be the teenager he brought to successfully certified. Since his previous words had been loose, it was not the case that he disappeared this time, so Qingchen thought for a while and instructed the boy to bring Liu Changfeng in.

After waiting in the room for a while, Liu Changfeng finally walked in with Ou Chuyang. However, what surprised Qingchen slightly was that Yang Chenglin was actually following behind. Now, the heavyweights in the Dan Hall, except for the famous elder who had been wandering outside, were all here.

In the spacious room, with the arrival of Ou Chuyang and the other two, it became lively. Based on age considerations, the one that attracted the most attention was of course Ou Chuyang, the youngest one.

Ou Chuyang's mind was also moved by smelling the rich smell of vanilla in the air.

"What a pure fragrance of medicine." Looking around, the first thing Ou Chuyang did when he entered the house was to carefully observe the various flowers and plants placed in several corners. After this, a greedy light suddenly burst out from Ou Chuyang's eyes.

"The best herb." Although you can't call out the names of the herbs that emit faint fragrance immediately, Ou Chuyang Neng is sure that these herbs are definitely not ordinary.

Ou Chuyang's entry immediately attracted the attention of Qingchen and Qiu Sheng in the room, but when the two found that the tall-shaped boy came in, they did not care about them, but focused on the fragrant herbs. The two old men looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Cough~" Liu Changfeng, who also found Ou Chuyang's strange appearance, showed displeasure when he saw the Lord Dantang and the Marin Chamber of Commerce's current first chair. He immediately coughed heavily, reminding Ou Chuyang.

Hearing Liu Changfeng coughing out on purpose, Ou Chuyang realized that his behavior was very inappropriate. Then, Ou Chuyang reluctantly pulled his eyes from the top herbs, looked at the two old men in front of him, and said in a dilemma: "You are rude, I hope you two seniors don't blame me."

Seeing this, Qing Chen nodded subconsciously. Obviously, Ou Chuyang's urgent remedy still won some favor from him. However, Qiu Sheng on the side was full of contempt. Although Qiu Sheng was also a businessman, because of his personality, he hated that kind of greedy person. Ou Chuyang's previous performance happened to make him look at Ou Chuyang carefully. Qing Chen said, "Are you Ou Chuyang?"

Ou Chuyang nodded and replied "Yes".

"What's your name?" Qing Chen asked, Qiu Shengduo was shocked when he heard it. He asked, "Your name is Ou Chuyang?"

Feeling Qiu Sheng's sudden facial expression, Ou Chuyang said in surprise: "That's right. I'm Ou Chuyang."

With a "Teng", when Ou Chuyang's sincere answer was heard, Qiu Sheng suddenly stood up from the chair, approached the former, and asked, "Do you know Qiu Na?"

Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang became confused. He had no way of knowing why the old man suddenly mentioned Qiu Na. However, he could analyze it in his words that the old man also knew Qiu Na, and his relationship seemed to be quite different.

In a while of confusion, Ou Chuyang nodded faintly, as a response.

Seeing this, Qiu Sheng suddenly surrounded Ou Chuyang and started to fight. After a long time, the former suddenly laughed and said, "Okay. OK. OK."

Qiu Sheng praised the three consecutive words "good" and then said, "You boy, not bad. Not bad."

Another wave of praise made Ou Chuyang extremely puzzled.

Seeing Qiu Sheng look like this, Qing Chen was confused. He didn't know why this old friend was so excited. However, Qing Chen didn't think much about it and said, "I have heard Elder Liu say about you. Let's put it this way, Elder Liu's promotion has a certain relationship with you. However, although there is an agreement between you, your proposal is too important for us. As the master of Dan Hall, I must treat it with caution."

As Qingchen said, Ou Chuyang turned his face to Liu Changfeng, but the latter looked unhappy and stared at Qingchen and blurted out: "Master..."

Before Liu Changfeng could continue to say it, Qingchen waved his hand hard to stop Liu Changfeng and continued, "However, Elder Liu is the master of my Dantang. What he said is like pouring water, and there is no reason to take it back. As the head of the Dantang, I don't see him becoming a trustless person. So in this way, you have been certified by Dantang. If you can join the Dantang, that matter has to be discussed."

After hearing Qing Chen's words, Ou Chuyang immediately understood that the master of the Dan Hall was nothing more than trying to make him a member of the Dan Hall, but Liu Changfeng had already told him that Ou Chuyang had no resistance to this.

Ou Chuyang said: "This is fine, but how to enter Dian Pavilion faster is the most important thing, because I am still a student of Shangwu Academy and I won't have much time."

"That's hard to say. Generally, people who can enter Dian Pavilion in Dantang must make significant contributions to Dantang, so we also depend on your performance." Qing Chen said calmly.

"Performance?" Ou Chuyang was stunned. He had considered this aspect, but when Liu Changfeng agreed to him, this was not the case.

Ou Chuyang frowned and turned his eyes to Liu Changfeng. The meaning was very obvious, it depends on what you said.

Feeling Ou Chuyang's unhappy gaze, Liu Changfeng's face turned red. He patted his chest in the teahouse before to assure the other party, but now there is a bad example. How can he not lose face?

In a slight anger, Liu Changfeng said anxiously: "Master, didn't you say it at the beginning? If Ou Chuyang becomes a second-level alchemist and joins the alchemist, he can enter the Dian Pavilion to see it. Why now..."

"Oh~" Qing Chen sighed and said meaningfully: "It was the time when it was, but now it is now. So I said that, but the situation is not possible now."

Speaking of this, Qingchen looked at the fragments of paper on the ground unnaturally, but while sighing, a trace of light suddenly flashed in Qingchen's eyes. Then Qingchen said dumbly: "What did you say just now? Has he become a second-level alchemist?"

During the conversation, Qingchen recalled what Liu Changfeng said before. When he discovered Ou Chuyang's realm revealed in that tone, Qingchen was also shocked.

"That's right." Seeing Qingchen's slightly surprised expression, a smug smile appeared on Liu Changfeng's face. However, Liu Changfeng was planning to really shock Qingchen, and then continued: "Ou Chuyang has refined first- and second-level elixirs at the same time, so he is now a real second-level elixir."

"What?" Liu Changfeng's words were like a huge wave that was rising in the sea, which really shocked Qingchen. In fact, these words did not have any earth-shaking words, but in the ears of this old man who had a deep understanding of alchemy, the key word "simultaneous" played a significant role.

It is not impossible to refine first and second level elixirs at the same time, but I did it just now when I reached the level of a fifth level elixir. But now, this teenager has already done it. It is hard to say that this is a miracle.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng suddenly remembered the information that Qiu Na came back from Qipan Town to report to him. After a while, the former pulled Qingchen to the side and whispered: "Aren't you missing a disciple now?" As he said that, Qiu Sheng raised his chin to Ou Chuyang behind him.

Seeing this, Qingchen understood it, slapped his forehead and then raised his big finger to Qiu Sheng. At this time, the two old men laughed at the same time.

Qingchen turned around, walked to Ou Chuyang, glanced at him, and suddenly said, "This, you really want to enter Dian Pavilion."

"Nonsense. Why don't I come here for me?" Ou Chuyang cursed in his heart, "I really want to."

"Okay. If you can agree to me with a condition, I will agree to you visit Dian Pavilion." Qingchen said aloud.

"Huh?" Seeing that things had changed essentially, Ou Chuyang was stunned and immediately looked at the old man in front of him. After seeing this, Ou Chuyang suddenly noticed a hint of joy in the other party's eyes, and this hint of joy was not shown at all before.

After discovering this difference, Ou Chuyang did not agree immediately. How could he not notice the meaning of the other party's words, so he was so scheming.

"There is something happening here." Ou Chuyang thought in his heart. Then he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Ou Chuyang did not agree, Liu Changfeng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel anxious and stabbed Ou Chuyang with his elbow, thinking, "Why don't you agree?"

Ignoring Liu Changfeng's reminder, Ou Chuyang thought for a while before saying respectfully: "Uh, this...this senior."

"My name is Qingchen." Seeing that Ou Chuyang didn't know his name, Qingchen spoke first.

"Oh, Senior Qing Chen, you must have known the agreement between me and Mr. Liu before. At that time, there were no conditions in our agreement. Now Senior Qing asked me to agree to you with a condition, not to mention whether the younger generation can meet this condition. Just these different statements will not be accepted."

The dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, so Ou Chuyang rejected Qingchen at the moment. His sharp words immediately made it difficult for Qingchen to tell. In fact, Ou Chuyang's meaning is very clear. My agreement with Liu Changfeng has already been decided, and now there is another condition. I can't say that you seniors are here to bully a junior.

"Huh?" Hearing Ou Chuyang's rejection, the four people present were shocked. Especially Qing Chen, he felt a big change in his mind.

"What awesome boy." Qingchen praised inwardly.

"What should you do according to your opinion?" Even though he had no clarity, Qingchen lowered his posture slightly and asked when he thought of the challenge that day.

Clearing his throat, Ou Chuyang said calmly: "Let me guess, senior seems to have encountered some trouble. For this matter, senior himself cannot take action, so he needs to deal with it on his behalf, that's right."

Upon hearing this, Qingchen was shocked, and Qiu Sheng on the side also looked incredible.

"Qu Na is right, this kid is too extraordinary." Qiu Sheng was shocked and suddenly thought of Qiu Na's evaluation of Ou Chuyang, and he couldn't help but nod.

Liu Changfeng, who was being exposed to the side, smiled bitterly, remembering the first encounter with Ou Chuyang in Qipan Town. The former immediately understood Ou Chuyang's intention: "This kid has an old problem."

When Qing Chen heard Ou Chuyang telling the key point suddenly, he couldn't help but frown. At this moment, he suddenly couldn't understand Ou Chuyang.

His eyes changed in a complex manner. Qingchen nodded undeniably, and then he realized that he had been infected by Ou Chuyang's tone, and the emotional fluctuations that should not have occurred had been taken into consideration by the other party.

"You are very smart. But being too smart is not a good thing." Qingchen felt a little unhappy after living for so many years and being led by a boy.

Seeing that Qing Chen was inclined to get angry, Ou Chuyang immediately apologized and said, "I'm just telling the truth, and there is no intention of offending."

Qingchen didn't say anything, just waiting for Ou Chuyang to continue speaking, but after hearing Ou Chuyang's words, the anger in his eyes was much less.

Seeing that Qingchen did not blame him deeply, Ou Chuyang also felt relieved and said, "I am just a studious person and have a lot of interest in alchemy cultivation, so I exchanged the price of a red fruit for Mr. Liu's promise. I can't say that this is a transaction. Now the senior has proposed a condition, not to mention what this condition is. As long as this condition is true, can I think that this is another transaction?"

Upon hearing this, several people nodded. What Ou Chuyang said was true, and there were more transaction components.

Seeing that no one refuted, Ou Chuyang continued: "Since it is a transaction, there must be a transaction price, just like Mr. Liu and I. And now, are there a price between me and my predecessors?"

After carefully savoring Ou Chuyang's words, Qingchen fell into contemplation. After living such an old age, how could the former not be heard? Ou Chuyang was robbing himself. But now, it is a critical moment. Compared with the challenge related to the prospects of Dantang, it is okay to give some benefits to the young man in front of him. However, it is really unreasonable to make the young man in front of him blackmail such a simple way to extort it in terms of face.
