Chapter 24

Rise to Fame

As night fell, the bustling square of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion gradually quieted down. Zhuowen closed the door after returning to the training room and told Liu Tao not to disturb him unless there was something important.

After the battle in the square, Zhuowen's fame in the inner court had spread. As a Divine Valor Stage martial artist, he had taken three moves from Zhuo Tian, who was two realms higher than him. Zhuo Tian had even suffered some losses at the hands of Zhuowen. Such a great battle record was quickly spread by the spectators.

In this manner, the unfamiliar name of Zhuo Wen gradually became a hot topic within the Inner Academy. Even some of the Inner Academy core disciples with low cultivations had not seen Zhuo Wen before, but they began to fear this new pavilion chief of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion who had just joined the Inner Academy.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zhuowen waved his right hand and took out the Qiankun Bag he had obtained from Zhuo Tian. His eyes flickered as he impatiently opened the Qiankun Bag.

Zhuo Tian's Qiankun Bag was a low-level Qiankun Bag with only about ten square meters of space. Even though it was a low-level Qiankun Bag, there were very few people in the inner court who could own one. If it was taken out for auction, it could be sold for at least 75,555 yuan. Zhuowen could be considered to have profited greatly from this.

"I wonder what kind of expression Zhuo Dingtian would have if he knew that his son had lost the Qiankun Bag to me."

Zhuowen gloated and took out two Fire Dragon Vermilion Fruits from the Qiankun Bag. Naturally, these two Fire Dragon Vermilion Fruits were also won from Zhuo Tian. Apart from the two Fire Dragon Vermilion Fruits, there were also 0,555 yuan in the Qiankun Bag. It could be said that Zhuowen had profited greatly from this battle.

"There is no alchemy technique in the Heavenly Armor Continent. Cultivation and healing are all done by using elixirs. I wonder if my Jade Cauldron Armored Soul can condense these Fire Dragon Vermilion Fruits into elixirs?"

Zhuowen's eyes flickered as he suddenly remembered that the Jade Tripod Armor Soul could condense the essence of a human body into Blood Essence Pills. Could it also condense elixirs?

After all, although the medicinal efficacy of the elixir was astonishing, there were still many impurities in it. These impurities were difficult for the human body to absorb, and if they were to remain in the human body, there would be no small side effects. However, when condensed into elixirs, there was no need to worry about impurities. The elixir itself was the condensation of essence, and there would be no impurities in it at all.

Thinking of this, Zhuowen couldn't help but want to give it a try. Therefore, Zhuowen immediately summoned the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul and threw a Fire Dragon Vermillion Fruit into the Jade Cauldron.

What surprised Zhuowen was that when the Fire Dragon Vermillion Fruit entered the Jade Cauldron, the Jade Cauldron reacted. A strange energy suddenly filled the Jade Cauldron, and Zhuowen saw that the Fire Dragon Vermillion Fruit that was thrown into the Jade Cauldron was gradually decomposing into liquid.

However, what surprised Zhuowen was that as the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul continued to decompose the Fire Dragon Vermillion Fruit, Zhuowen found that the Yuan Energy in his body was also slowly being absorbed by the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul. Obviously, the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul needed the Yuan Energy in Zhuowen's body to support it in decomposing the elixir.

After about one-fourth of the Yuan Energy in Zhuowen's body was absorbed, the Jade Cauldron buzzed, and suddenly, four fiery-red round elixirs were spat out from the mouth of the cauldron.

"Fire Dragon Elixir: Transformed from the essence of the Fire Dragon Vermillion Fruit. One elixir is equivalent to one Fire Dragon Vermillion Fruit. It is a Common Grade Five elixir!"

After Zhuowen caught the Fire Dragon Elixir, the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul also gave him an introduction about the Fire Dragon Elixir.

When Zhuowen saw that the Fire Dragon Elixir was equivalent to one Fire Dragon Vermillion Fruit, even if Zhuowen was very calm, he couldn't help but be shocked. If this information was true, then as long as Zhuowen had a First Grade Elixir, he could refine four elixirs that were equivalent to a First Grade Elixir without any impurities.

With this discovery, Zhuowen's eyes couldn't help but become fiery, and he became even more curious about the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul. This mysterious Jade Cauldron Armor Soul was really out of Zhuowen's expectations. Moreover, Zhuowen could feel that the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul's ability wasn't limited to this, but he hadn't fully explored it yet.

Although Zhuowen wasn't very clear about the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul, Zhuowen had a little summary of the abilities that the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul had shown so far.

First, Elixir Recipes: The Jade Cauldron Armor Soul contained endless elixir recipes. With the evolution of the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul, the level of the elixir recipes would continue to be unlocked.

Second, Alchemy: Using the herbs in the elixir recipes, one could refine elixirs with various functions.

Third, Condensation: Extracting the essence of living creatures and turning it into elixirs, such as Blood Essence Elixir and Fire Dragon Elixir. The former was an elixir condensed from the essence of the human body, while the latter was condensed from the essence of the elixir.

"Since I have a preliminary understanding of the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul's ability, the next step is to use the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul to improve my strength. With such a heaven-defying auxiliary armor soul, I think my cultivation speed will definitely be several times or even dozens of times faster than others!"

"In these three months, I am very confident that I can surpass Zhuo Tian. When the time comes, I will defeat him fair and square!

However, the most important thing now is to get a fire-attribute cultivation method. I will go to the Cultivation Method Pavilion tomorrow to have a look! "

Having said that, Zhuowen took out a Fire Dragon Elixir and threw it into his mouth. Then, he closed his eyes and began to silently refine the medicinal power of the Fire Dragon Elixir. Now that Zhuowen had just entered the Viscera Strengthening Realm, he had to calm down and stabilize his mind.

…

In one of the attics in the Inner Yard, Zhuo Dingtian looked at Zhuowen, who was standing in front of him with his head lowered, and said in a gloomy voice, "You said that you had a three-move bet with Zhuowen. Not only did Zhuowen survive the three moves, but he also used you as a stepping stone to finally break through?"

Zhuo Tian didn't dare to look at Zhuo Dingtian. He smiled bitterly and said, "Father!

If he had not suddenly entered the Mystic Comprehending Realm, I would have killed him long ago. I can't accept this! "

Zhuo Dingtian's gaze softened as he looked at the unwilling Zhuo Tian. Finally, he sighed and said, "Zhuo Wen's talent is indeed monstrous. Not only was he born with Triplet Armor Souls, but he has also entered the Profound Comprehending State at such a young age. Even his father could not compare to his talent!"

"If he continues to develop, he will surpass you one day. Moreover, your grandfather has already given the Patriarch's keepsake to Zhuowen at the square!"

"What?

Grandfather gave the keepsake to that bastard Zhuowen?

Father, didn't you say that grandfather was going to give me the Patriarch's keepsake?

Moreover, wasn't I chosen by grandfather to be the next Patriarch? "

Hearing this, Zhuo Tian's face turned as pale as snow. His fierce eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment.

"If that bastard Zhuowen had not appeared, you would have been the next Patriarch. However, Zhuowen's performance was too outstanding, so your grandfather naturally placed more hope on Zhuowen. However, you still have a chance!" Zhuo Dingtian said calmly.

Zhuo Tian cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some pointers!"

"The Clan Competition in three months is your only chance. If you can completely defeat Zhuo Wen in the Clan Competition and let everyone in the Zhuo Clan know that you are the number one person in the Inner Academy, then your prestige will definitely surpass Zhuo Wen's. Perhaps your grandfather will change his mind and choose you as the next head of the clan because of this!"

Zhuo Dingtian said as he looked at Zhuo Tian.

"Father!

Don't worry, I'm already at the peak of the Spirit Detecting Realm, and Zhuowen is only at the Vigorous Viscera Realm. If we fight head on, Zhuowen is definitely not my match!

At that time, I'll let everyone in the family know who is the strongest in the inner court! "Zhuo Tian said with a ferocious expression.

Zhuo Dingtian shook his head and took out a blood red crystal. "Zhuowen's talent is top-notch. Perhaps he will have a breakthrough in the next three months. I can feel that he has some hidden cards, so don't let your guard down. This is a grade 6 origin crystal, the Blood Qi Crystal. It can temporarily increase your strength, but the side effects are too great. It's best not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary!"

Taking the Blood Qi Crystal, Zhuo Tian was touched. His father had sacrificed a lot for him to become the head of the family. Even now, he was still trying his best to help him.

"Father!

I won't let you down. The Zhuo Family's Patriarch position will definitely be mine! "Zhuo Tian bowed and said with a serious expression.

"Get up!

I'm already satisfied that you have this kind of heart. Cultivate well for the next three months!

We still have some Elixirs in storage. Take them all to cultivate!

If you can break through to the Soul Changing Realm in the next three months, then you won't need to use the Blood Qi Crystal. No matter how heaven-defying Zhuowen is, he won't be your match after you enter the Soul Changing Realm! "

Zhuo Dingtian smiled and helped Zhuo Tian up. His eyes were filled with love.

"I'll work hard!"

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight passed through the curtains and landed on the young man's delicate face, the young man slowly opened his eyes. A ray of light suddenly emerged from the young man's eyes.

"The Fire Dragon Pill is indeed a grade 6 Elixir. After taking the Fire Dragon Pill, not only has my cultivation completely stabilized, but the Elemental Energy in my body has also faintly increased!"

Zhuowen said with a refreshed expression as he pushed himself up with his right hand.

"It's time to go take a look at the Technique Pavilion. Now that I have the Patriarch's Token on me, it should be enough to qualify me to enter such an important place like the Technique Pavilion!"

Zhuo Wen felt his body brimming with energy, and his entire being felt refreshed. The most important characteristic of the Vigorous Viscera stage was that the Yuan Power in the body would gradually transform the internal organs, causing the fragile internal organs to become even more resilient. Furthermore, the five senses of a martial artist would also become more sensitive and clear.

Feeling the changes in his body, Zhuowen's face revealed a satisfied expression. He then stepped out of the Technique Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, the two Hidden Dragon Guards in front of the door hurriedly saluted Zhuowen. Their faces were filled with fanaticism and reverence. Clearly, because of the bet between Zhuowen and Zhuo Tian yesterday, Zhuowen's prestige in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion had increased infinitely.

Zhuowen slightly nodded as a response. He then walked quickly into the Hidden Dragon Pavilion's main hall. In the main hall, Liu Tao was directing some servants to renovate the hall.

Liu Tao obviously also noticed the sudden appearance of Zhuowen. His face immediately revealed a joyful expression. He hurriedly came in front of Zhuowen and said with a respectful expression, "Master!

What's the matter? "
