"Thank you, Master."

Li Dong was so happy that he didn't bother to think about the knocking meaning behind Elder Ai's words.

"Thank you, Brother Ai."

Hall Master Li was also relieved and said with a smile.

If Elder Ai doesn't help, it will be difficult for Hall Master Li to borrow the Baicao Cauldron on his own.

"Li Dong, my teacher only wants to warn you: you must look down on the immediate gains and losses and focus on the long term."

Elder Ai said, "If you can't do this, this competition, even if you win, will not be of any real benefit to you."

As soon as Elder Ai said these words, Hall Master De Li and Li Dong felt a little resentful, as if someone had poured cold water on them before they even started doing something.

After sitting for a while, Hall Master Li and Li Dong said goodbye.

"Grandpa, why does Master seem to disagree with Su Chen and I competing in Alchemy?"

Li Dong asked, he still has great respect for Elder Ai as his master. What Elder Ai said just now was so profound that he could not be completely indifferent.

There was also a look of deep thought flowing through him.

"He is a martial arts elder. He has always hoped that you would achieve great success in martial arts. But now that you are competing with others in alchemy, he will naturally be unhappy."

Hall Master Li smiled and revealed the matter in an understatement, "Okay, don't think about these things, go back to the cave with peace of mind and prepare for the competition. Since your master has promised you, he will definitely send Bai Bai as soon as possible."

Borrow the cauldron."

"Okay, this time, I will definitely trample Su Chen under my feet so that he can never make trouble again. Once I defeat Su Chen, I will prepare wholeheartedly for the Jinghu Festival."

Li Dong was full of confidence, bid farewell to Hall Master Li, and returned to his cave.

On Elder Ai's side, after Hall Master Li and Li Dong left, he also got up and prepared to borrow the Baicao Cauldron from the sect master.

However, after walking out of the cave, Elder Ai thought about it and finally felt uneasy. He simply did not go directly to the sect master, but turned around and went to Hall Master Mu's cave first.

.

"In any case, Li Dong is my direct disciple after all. I can't help but care more about his affairs. He is going to compete with Su Chen in the alchemy method. I always feel that something is wrong, so I'd better go to the wooden hall first.

Lord, ask for the details about Su Chen."

Elder Ai thought like this and walked to Hall Master Mu's cave.

"Haha, Elder Ai, what kind of wind has brought you here?"

Hall Master Mu was a little surprised when he saw Elder Ai coming. Elder Ai, besides being close to Hall Master Li, had little contact with other hall masters. Today suddenly

I don’t know why I came here. Is it because of the recent rumors attacking Su Chen?

To be honest, Hall Master Mu knew that those rumors must have been concocted by Li Dong, and Hall Master Li was certainly involved in them. But was Elder Ai involved?

, then it’s hard to say.

Although the sect leader believed that Elder Ai should also be involved, Hall Master Mu felt that this was not necessarily the case.

But then again, if Elder Ai was really involved in concocting those rumors, then it would be very subtle for him to come to visit Hall Master Mu now. Because those rumors are not

Not only did they attack Su Chen, but they also attacked Hall Master Mu and Hall Master Huangfu.

With these doubts, Hall Master Mu welcomed Elder Ai into the cave.

After Elder Ai sat down, he kept pouring tea. Several times he seemed to have made up his mind to ask something, but he hesitated.

Hall Master Mu was so worried for him that he simply smiled and said: "Elder Ai, I know that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you have something, you want to question me, or maybe it's because of the recent one."

If you have anything to say about these rumors, just say it. I know that Elder Ai, you are an open and honest person, and so am I. So if anything happens, you and I can talk about it openly.

To put it bluntly, you don’t have to beat around the bush like other people do.”

"no……"

When Elder Ai heard what Hall Master Mu said, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Hall Master Mu, you misunderstood...I didn't come here because of that."

"oh?"

Hall Master Mu was a little surprised. If it wasn't because of that, why else could he come here?

"Since that's not the case... then Brother Ai should just say what he has to say."

Hall Master Mu had no choice but to say.

"Master Mu, Su Chen, you should know best what his actual alchemy level is? Can you tell me the truth?"

After hearing Elder Ai's question, Hall Master Mu was a little confused. Why did Elder Ai suddenly care about Su Chen's alchemy level? He was not a martial arts elder?

After thinking about it, Hall Master Mu still told the truth: "Last time at the meeting to decide the quota for the Jinghu Festival, the Fifteen Star Taiyi Dust Cleansing Pill I showed you was made with Su Chen's help.

It was completed in one fell swoop, and he played a decisive role in it. If it weren't for him, it would have been impossible to refine the elixir successfully. And his attainments in alchemy are far more than that. To be honest,

Even I can't see through his actual level of alchemy."

Even Hall Master Mu can't see through it.

This is a very scary evaluation.

When Elder Ai heard this, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face. He obviously did not expect that Su Chen, a young disciple, would receive such a comment from Hall Master Mu.

What does it mean that a young disciple can't be seen through by the hall master level? This means that the hall master level person is not even sure about this young disciple's alchemy attainments.

Have you surpassed yourself?

At this moment, Elder Ai's heart could no longer be described as surprised. He never expected that Su Chen's alchemy attainments would reach such a monster level!

Elder Ai did not doubt that Hall Master Mu was telling lies to fool him, because he knew that Hall Master Mu had no need to lie about this matter!

"This is troublesome, troublesome..."

Elder Ai murmured, if it was really like Hall Master Mu said, then wouldn't Li Dong have little chance of winning if he challenges Su Chen?

"Brother Ai, what happened?"

Hall Master Mu was also very puzzled when he saw Elder Ai like this. Elder Ai suddenly came to him to inquire about Su Chen's alchemy strength. After inquiring, he started talking about trouble.

Trouble, what's the trouble?

"well……"

Elder Ai raised his head and glanced at Hall Master Mu, hesitated for a moment, and sighed, "Hall Master Mu, you are also an upright person, and I am not afraid to tell you the truth. You are my disciple."

Li Dong..."

"What's wrong with Li Dong?"

Hall Master Mu asked with concern.

"Then Su Chen, didn't he set up an alchemy arena?"

Elder Ai said, "He wants to challenge Su Chen and compete with Su Chen on the alchemy path..."

"Then Li Dong will definitely lose!"

Hall Master Mu was categorical. Although he had never seen Li Dong compete with Su Chen in alchemy, he had this confidence in Su Chen.
