Chapter 74: The Baibao Hall Meeting (Third Update)

  In order for Wang Meng to focus on his cultivation and also to prevent others from spying on his secret weapon, he spread the word that he was in closed-door training.

  Heaving a deep sigh, "Alas, it's that woman Lu Yun again. She has been eyeing my position for a long time. I have to admit, she has some skills and her disciple is quite capable, always one step ahead of me. The frustration of being the head of the sect is suffocating, so I came out to get some fresh air."

  "Don't count on me."

  "You little brat, you really have no conscience. I said we're friends, but what if, and I'm just saying what if, that woman Lu Yun comes knocking on our door with trouble, are you saying we'd back down?"

  "This can't be." Wang Meng nodded.

  "It's just that, Lu Yun, it's only natural to hand it over to me. However, as for her disciple, I couldn't possibly bully the weak with my seniority, so later on you'll have to guide her a bit and keep them from being too arrogant."

  Zhou Feng said.

  "I've only learned for a few days, and I'm still being pointed at when I go, but if something really happens and I can help, I'll definitely be there. If you lose face, you'd better worry about it yourself."

  "What is a man? Winning or losing is another matter, but can't escape whether it's true or not?"

  Wang Meng smiled, and Old Zhou became more interesting. From the beginning, it was just for his own elixir refinement, but now he's becoming increasingly interested in elixir refinement. Of course, Wang Meng is not that kind of elixir-obsessed person; his focus is on how elixir refinement can help him break through the Five Elements bottleneck. Another important thing is that he discovered a possibility - that elixirs might help him contact the Heavenly Lock Spirit Array.

  The Tian Di Locking Spirit Array, once it enters the body, becomes a part of the body and can be considered a blocked fate mark. If the elixir is suitable, it can be combed out properly.

  It's not using the divine rank for now, but he must remove the seal before entering the Middle Thousand World, otherwise who knows what changes will happen when flying up, with the reverse heavenly divine rank, every time through the heavenly tribulation is nine deaths and one life, if the divine rank is not sealed, it will be ten deaths without a birth.

  "You must have confidence in yourself. Although your dan fire is only two levels, the key lies in comprehension and understanding. That girl's fire is only four levels after all."

  Zhou Feng was also careful, on the one hand wanting to give Wang Meng confidence, and on the other hand not being able to say too much, after all, the opponent's fourth-level Dan fire had been used for five years, while Wang Meng...

  This kid, these days Zhou Feng can even wake up laughing while sleeping, but he has to bear it, this little guy seems to be born with a liking for protecting the "weak".

  Wang Meng smiled slightly, "Who's afraid of who? Come on, Old Zhou, let's have a drink. Later, I'll teach you how to play chess."

  Zhou Feng's bitter melon face was genuine this time, gritting his teeth, "Do it!"

  However, Zhou Feng's painful chess career was interrupted by the arrival of Hu Jing and others.

  Hu Jing, Zhang Xiaojiang, Ma Tian'er, Zhou Qian, Suo Ming. Suo Ming has gone through a great ordeal and become less talkative, but more steady. His desperate efforts in his practice are astonishing.

  Zhou Feng also doesn't disturb young people's gatherings, and he slips away faster than anyone else. He is now a master of sensing the situation.

  "It's rare for all of you to come together like this, is there something going on?"

  Wang Meng smiled and said, the small hut was immediately filled with people, usually they also came one by one.

  "Brother Meng, the Baodatang meeting at Shengtang is about to start. We are thinking whether we should participate or not."

  Zhang Xiaojiang said excitedly.

  "What's called Baibao Tanghui is simply a gathering for the nine Tang sons to exchange, but since each Tang participates, there's always some showing off and comparison." Hu Jing explained.

  "Leigongtang's sword mound was ten years ago, Lingyintang's talisman is one zhang longer, Xianyuantang's spiritual elixir is effective, Huoyuntang's magical instrument is the real deal, Yushoutang's spiritual beast runs all over the street, Feifengtang's beauty stuns the world, Baicaotang's vital energy is like a spring, Hengshantang's disciples are like hoodlums, Daoguangtang's threshold is really high. I think back to when our Leigongtang was indeed glorious, but now even the sword mound is gone. This time it's just about participating."

  "Zhou Shixiong, we can't give up!" Ma Tian'er said, "We have to show ourselves, even if we're not as good as others, it's okay."

  Zhou Qian smiled wryly, Ma Xiaojie's optimism was well-founded, others couldn't learn from her.

  Although it is unknown what identity Ma Tian'er has in the Ma family, it is certain that she is related to the Ma family. Ma Tian'er doesn't say anything, and no one dares to pry into others' privacy.

  "Meng Ge, in recent years, the Bai Bao Tang has basically been dominated by Xian Yuan Tang, Huo Yun Tang, Bai Cao Tang and Yu Shou Tang. Didn't you learn alchemy from Zhou Chang Lao? Why not refine a few furnaces and we'll also go out to show off?"

  Zhang Xiaojing said.

  Bang... Little Fatty's head was immediately hit with a loud slap.

  "You think I'm a treasure trove or something? I've only been learning for a few days and every day I get criticized by Old Zhou."

  Wang Meng said.

  "The best pill is from Xuan Yuantang, the fire cloud hall's magic tool, the Yu Shou Tang's spiritual beast, the Bai Cao Tang's rare treasure, the Ling Yin Tang's talisman. The Dao Guang Tang must have a little bit of everything, and the Fei Feng Tang has always been the most popular. Now, the meaning of the Baibao Hall meeting is no longer about exchange, but to show off each hall's strength. Our Lei Guang Tang gained some momentum from the battle with Hengshan Tang, if we can achieve something in this Baibao Hall meeting, it will be a very urgent matter for us."

  Hu Jing said that she is now considered a senior sister of Leigongtang, and it was only when she reached this position that she realized how difficult it was. Zhao Guang also had some skills back then.

  "Wang Meng, it's very simple. They want to participate, but I suggest we'd better not join in the fun. It's better to hide one's ugliness than to show it off." Zhou Qian said.

  Hu Jing spoke, apparently not as exaggerated as Zhang Xiaojiang. Wang Meng himself did not want to get involved in these things, but at critical moments he still had to make an effort. He had a Wumu Jing, but this thing was a bit of a handful, and having only one such thing was hardly enough.

  "What are you planning now?" Wang Meng smiled and said, this group of people came to the door obviously had a plan.

  Hu Jing nodded, "I think at this time of striking while the iron is hot, we can't retreat. If we're going to participate, Leigongtang's booth has Xiaotian's little cuties to attract attention. Suoming has a natural talent for forging, I've seen it and think it's worth trying. I'll contribute some elixirs, Zhou Shixiong will contribute some talismans. We may not be as good as others, but we're not afraid of losing face. We can't lose in terms of momentum!"

  The more timid you are, the more timid you will become. Sometimes, people fear not their opponents, but themselves.

  This is not a case of giving up, but rather burning one's boats and breaking one's cauldrons.

  Wang Meng admired Hu Jing's decisiveness and generosity, "Little Jing, I support you, no need to say anything. No matter how my elixir cultivation is going, let's get some of this excitement, how can we, the Leigong Hall, miss out on this!"

  "Haha, Brother Meng, if you can get Old Man Zhou to secretly make a batch for us, we..."

  Bang...

  Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaojiang was slapped by Hu Jing.

  "This kind of crooked nonsense is rare, you think everyone else is blind!"

  Zhang Xiaojing pouted with a pitiful expression, "I just wanted to hit a casual shot."

  Wang Meng knew that this kid was up to no good, and it turned out that he was plotting against Zhou Feng. Wang Meng was very familiar with Zhou Feng's personality, and he knew that bringing this up would be asking for trouble. Recently, his alchemy had been going well, so trying something new wouldn't hurt. Besides, he wasn't afraid of losing face, and it shouldn't be a big deal anyway.
