"Bull's marrow?"
Beside Yuefeng, the pretty female disciple looked at Chen Yu in response.
This pretty female disciple could be considered a member of Yuefeng and Ding Jiuhui's circle. It seemed that her status wasn't low.
"This is Senior Sister Tong Yuling," Ding Jiuhui introduced.
"So it's Senior Sister Tong. Do you have the Bull's marrow that I need?"
Chen Yu felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
His Bronze Statue Technique had basically reached the peak of the Bronze Skin level. Although his cultivation speed wasn't bad, it wasn't as fast as before.
Previously, the effects of the commoner's medicine were getting worse and worse.
And that "Barbarian Bull's Marrow" was the main ingredient in the second formula. If he could get it, it would be easy to get the remaining supplementary ingredient.
"I do have the Bull's marrow, but it can improve one's physique. It's said that it can increase one's strength, so it's worth a lot …"
Tong Yuling revealed a slightly troubled expression.
Hearing this, Chen Yu felt uneasy.
The Bull's marrow was worth a lot, and the few primeval stones he had were far from enough.
"What does Senior Sister Tong want to trade, or how many primeval stones do you want?"
Chen Yu braced himself and said.
He calculated in his heart. If it really didn't work, he could trade the Inferior Treasure for a sum of primeval stones.
"How about this."
Tong Yuling thought for a moment and said seriously, "Looking at Chen's fight with Yang Fan, he basically has the strength of the top ten outer disciples. If Chen can help me with one thing, I'll give you the Bull's marrow for free. "
Give it away for free?
Chen Yu was a bit surprised. Tong Yuling was obviously interested in his strength, so the thing she wanted to do shouldn't be easy.
"Oh, Senior Sister Tong, is it for that? The Blood Hand Bald Wolf, ranked 15th and 25th on the Assassination Roll, is quite strong. However, if Senior Sister Tong and Brother Chen work together, we have at least a 25% chance of winning. "
Yuefeng said with a smile, obviously knowing the inside story.
Assassination Roll? Blood Hand Bald Wolf?
Chen Yu roughly understood what was going on. Tong Yuling had accepted an Assassination List mission and wanted to bring him along to increase her chances of success.
"I accepted this mission not only for the bounty on the Assassination Roll, but also because this' Bloody Hand Bald Wolf 'has been stained with the blood of a few of my clansmen.
Tong Yuling's delicate and pretty face was completely calm.
"I see. Then, may I ask, what is the cultivation level and strength of this' Blood Hand Bald Wolf '? "
Chen Yu asked.
Tong Yuling said, "The Blood Hands Bald Wolf is in the late Meridian Opening Realm like me. He's strong, ruthless, and extremely cunning. However, if you and I work together, we have a higher chance of success. Even if we don't succeed, we won't have to worry about our lives. Moreover, no matter if the kill is successful or not, as long as Chen puts in the effort, the Barbaric Bull's marrow will be given as a reward. "
Chen Yu naturally wouldn't decline since he had already put it this way. He immediately agreed.
Afterward.
The two of them discussed the details. It would take about three to five days to confirm the news of the Blood Hands Bald Wolf before carrying out the kill.
After finalizing it, Chen Yu made a request.
"This … Senior Sister, can you give me the Barbaric Bull's marrow in advance?"
Chen Yu said with slight embarrassment.
The main reason was that he urgently needed this item. If he could gather the formula in advance, his strength would be able to advance faster.
"Alright, I'll believe you this once."
Tong Yuling and Yuefeng exchanged glances and agreed.
Chen Yu was naturally very surprised. He was only trying to ask, but he was already prepared to be rejected. After all, he wasn't familiar with Tong Yuling at all, and the Barbaric Bull's marrow was very valuable.
Soon.
Chen Yu took a small bottle the size of a baby's fist and opened it. There was a ball of dark red blood marrow inside.
"This is the blood marrow of the 'Red Horned Bull', a type of Barbaric Bull's marrow. A few days ago, all the experts in our clan came out, but we only managed to kill one. Its true strength is comparable to a Viscera Refinement expert. "
Tong Yuling introduced.
Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. The Barbaric Bull's marrow was the main ingredient of the formula. The higher the quality, the better the effect.
… …
In the pavilion.
The group of senior disciples first traded privately in their own small circle.
When the small circle couldn't satisfy them, they began to trade officially.
"Blood Qi Pill, can help increase the sense of qi and open meridians. I want to trade for a fifty-year-old Yellow Spirit Ginseng."
"I want to buy materials to forge artifacts …"
"My family's saber art is comparable to a mid-rank martial art. I want to trade for the Body Accumulation Pill."
Some senior disciples couldn't wait to state their needs.
There were many rare resources that needed to be sold quickly. Especially now that the outer disciples' competition was getting closer.
Chen Yu looked around and found that other than a semi-artifact, he didn't have many things that he could offer.
Some of the resources that he was interested in were limited by the primeval stones.
However, the Body Accumulation Pill that he had obtained seemed to be quite popular among the senior disciples. He only took one out and it was traded away.
Moreover, the Body Accumulation Pill that was traded away was of the inferior-grade.
"The Body Accumulation Pill is effective for all three stages of the introductory level. It can improve one's cultivation, be it in meridian or viscera refinement. The higher the quality, the better the effect. "
He got the answer from Yuefeng.
Chen Yu realized that the value of the mid-grade Body Accumulation Pill was higher than he had imagined.
According to Yuefeng, the outer disciples only had inferior-grade Body Accumulation Pills, and they were all rare. Every time they appeared, they would be sold out.
Two hours later.
The trade in the pavilion came to an end. Then, it was the Martial Skill Exchange.
The Martial Skill Exchange was mainly to discuss martial arts and cultivation problems, and to learn from each other.
Chen Yu was new to this circle, so he didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Yuefeng, one of the outer disciples' geniuses, was the center of attention. He shared some of his cultivation experiences, and he was asked many times because of his amiable personality.
Although the outer disciples' number one genius, Nangong Li, was strong, he didn't speak much.
When he heard some of the discussions, Nangong Li's face had a hint of disdain.
"It seems that the outer disciples' resources and environment won't help me much …"
Nangong Li shook his head.
If it wasn't for the reward for the first place in the competition, he would have entered the inner disciples long ago.
Suddenly.
Nangong Li's gaze fell on Chen Yu who had been silent.
"Chen, I observed your Internal Qi during the battle, and it's a little familiar. It's like a cultivation method with a long history. You've already surpassed 45% of the disciples here for being able to cultivate it to such a level. "
Nangong Li held the fan in his hand and glanced at Chen Yu with interest.
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect Nangong Li to suddenly mention him, and there was even a hint of praise in his tone. Could it be that Nangong Li saw through the Cloud Fiend Fist that he cultivated?
Although he used the Cloud Fiend Internal Qi in his previous attack, he didn't really use the Cloud Fiend Fist.
At this moment.
Many people looked at Chen Yu with fear, shock, sneers, and disdain.
Yuefeng, Ding Jiuhui, and the others were naturally shocked.
Nangong Li was the number one genius in the outer disciples, and he could even be considered as an inner disciple.
In terms of true strength, only Duan Xiaolong who was ranked number one in battle strength had a chance of defeating him.
In other words.
Nangong Li's strength was considered one of the best in the outer disciples. Such an arrogant person frequently showed disdain in the martial arts exchange, but he praised Chen Yu.
"Senior Brother Nangong, you're too kind. My cultivation base is shallow, you might have mistaken me."
Chen Yu calmly replied.
Since Nangong Li didn't mention the Cloud Fiend Fist, he wouldn't mention it either. Otherwise, he would be easily targeted and guarded against in the outer disciples competition.
…
In the afternoon, the outer disciples exchange came to an end.
Other than Duan Xiaolong who was ranked number one in battle strength and a few others who didn't participate, there were fifteen people in the top twenty.
Chen Yu had heard of Duan Xiaolong's legend.
It was said that Duan Xiaolong had gotten 'second' in the competition two years ago. At that time, he actually had the chance to get first, but he gave up for some reason.
As for last year's competition, Duan Xiaolong didn't participate at all.
It was said that he had been practicing a special cultivation method and had fought many Viscera Refinement cultivators without losing.
In the outer disciples.
Duan Xiaolong and Nangong Li were two insurmountable mountains.
In front of the courtyard.
A group of senior disciples walked out one after another.
In a certain corner.
Wang Lingyun, Yang Fan, and a chubby, round-faced youth stood together.
The chubby youth was ranked number seven, Huang Yuan.
"Even I couldn't get my hands on Mu Xueqing, and this kid really got his way?"
Huang Yuan's small eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's true! I'm from the same county as Chen Yu and Mu Xueqing. Once when I came home, I saw those two twisting in the fields, doing that unspeakable thing … "
Wang Lingyun said with a face full of hatred.
Hearing that, Huang Yuan and Yang Fan's faces darkened.
Especially Huang Yuan, his eyes were full of jealousy and resentment.
Thinking back, he was once rejected by Mu Xueqing, and it was a public rejection!
…
On the way.
"Brother Chen."
Yuefeng suddenly called Chen Yu aside.
"Brother Le, what's the matter?" Chen Yu asked.
"I called you for two things." Yuefeng paused and said, "First, you have to be careful in the outer disciples. The second-ranked Nangong Li, the fourth-ranked Hu Yiba, and the seventh-ranked Huang Yuan were all pursuers of Mu Xueqing. Nangong Li is one thing, but Hu Yiba and Huang Yuan aren't broad-minded people. "
Hearing that, Chen Yu frowned.
He sighed in his heart. Even though Mu Xueqing had gone to the inner disciples, she still left him with endless trouble.
Maybe.
Chen Yu could announce to the outside world that he had nothing to do with Mu Xueqing.
But if he did that, it didn't matter if others believed it or not. First of all, it was an act of "cowardice".
In the world of the Sect, the more cowardly one was, the easier it was to be bullied.
"I'll be careful."
Chen Yu nodded, but there was no fear in his eyes.
No matter how big the trouble, he would use a pair of iron fists to sweep away the dark clouds.
"Second thing. I hope Brother Chen won't spread the Cloud Steps that I gave you that day. It won't be good for either of us. "
Yuefeng continued.
"That's what I should do."
Chen Yu immediately understood. This was Yuefeng's real intention!
Yuefeng's Cloud Steps had reached great mastery. In terms of movement and speed, it could be ranked top three in the outer disciples.
If Chen Yu were to secretly spread the Cloud Soaring Steps, and other opponents of the same level understood the profound principles behind the Cloud Soaring Steps, then there might be a way to restrain it.
Of course.
Chen Yu's own Cloud Steps was close to great mastery, so he naturally wouldn't do such a thing.
"Mm, I happen to have an Elemental Stalk Grass here. Take it as compensation for you, Junior Brother."
Yuefeng smiled and took out a stalk of grass that was half a foot tall.
Elemental Stalk Grass!
Chen Yu's head twitched, unable to hide the joy on his face. This Elemental Stalk Grass was the last ingredient he lacked!
