Chapter 121 - Chapter 121

Back at his residence. Zhou Peng rested for a while and then released Maomao and asked it to guard him. He himself opened the alchemy system and began to furiously refine pills. Now his alchemy skill has reached level two. With good luck, he can refine some grade three pills, but the probability is very low. At present, Zhou Peng doesn't care about the grade of the refined pills at all. What he pays more attention to is the upgrade of alchemy skill. The increase in proficiency is very slow, and the consumed qi is gradually increasing. Level zero alchemy requires ten points of qi to refine pills each time. Level one requires twenty points, and level two requires thirty points, increasing step by step. With thousands of practices a day, tens of thousands of qi points are consumed. Although killing Yang Zhan yielded hundreds of crystal nuclei, he doesn't have to worry about qi supplementation for the time being. However, the qi released by crystal nuclei is very slow. Moreover, the limit of his dantian can only fuse five crystal nuclei at present. Any more and it can't bear it. But pills are different.After taking it, the qi value almost rose instantly. Last time, a "Nourishing Yuan Pill" given to him by Lu Donghai increased his qi by ten thousand points. He was tempted by its attribute. Increasing qi by ten thousand points. This kind of pill is what he wants most. However, with his current alchemy level, the pills refined can at most increase the qi value by a few hundred points. It's far from enough. Every time he goes on a mission, Zhou Peng will collect spiritual herbs when he sees them. Reaching the consummation stage of alchemy is a long way to go. He must be prepared for a long-term battle. Currently he doesn't need pills, but pills will definitely be very important in the future. After a few hours, Zhou Peng closed the system, opened his eyes, looked at Maomao who was on guard seriously, and smiled. "Not bad. You look quite good. Hahaha..." Maomao grinned and showed its teeth, and giggled. However, in the next second, it stood still and had a expression. Zhou Peng laughed and said, "Little devil, you are naughty." Undoubtedly, Maomao was controlled again by the magic infant in his dantian who woke up using the great manipulation technique. The magic infant let out a light giggle, very cheerful. A few minutes later, Maomao erupted in fury, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, showing the fierce ferocity of a demon beast. It growled in a low voice, and the humming sound became even stronger. The meaning was obvious. "You son of a bitch, come out if you have the guts. I will definitely kill you." Since the magic infant appeared, Maomao has been teased from time to time. It makes him often manic and restless. He is always being controlled and can't hit the magic infant. He is full of and has nowhere to vent his anger. The growth of the magic infant is astonishingly fast. Now it has reached level seven and is about to enter level eight. But Zhou Peng is also facing a problem. There are only two drops of the blood essence of all demons left. It is the key to the growth of the magic infant. Just like breast milk. Without it, the growth of the magic infant will definitely slow down. For the blood essence of demon beasts, Zhou Peng is a bit headache. Except for the Realm of All Demons, Zhou Peng hasn't seen demon beasts yet. Where can he get the blood essence of demon beasts? He was very annoyed in his heart. Then he thought of the merit point exchange system of the Thousand Machines Sect and thought to himself, "I hope there is blood essence of demon beasts." Alchemy, Maomao, and the magic infant are all growing.Level one Frenzy, the Dragon-Elephant Mysterious Void Scripture, the Thunderbolt Secret Art, and the Seven Unique Killing Formation are all constantly increasing in proficiency. Since entering the Thousand Machines Sect, Zhou Peng has felt a sense of crisis in his heart. That feeling has made him have to calm down and be careful. In the great immortal sects, there are countless experts. If one is not careful, one might be smashed to pieces and never have a chance to turn things around. All Zhou Peng can do is constantly break through, upgrade, improve all his skills and enrich himself so that he can be invincible when facing a powerful enemy in the future. "Let's go, let's go, let's go. Chen San, hurry up." "Why are you in such a hurry?" "Not in a hurry? It opens once a month. If we don't go early, how can we get a good position?" ... Several people talked anxiously and rushed past. Standing at the door, Zhou Peng found that many disciples were flocking in the same direction. Curious, he walked out of the courtyard and grabbed a disciple and asked, "Brother, where are you all going?" The disciple frowned and showed an extremely impatient look and said, "New here?" Zhou Peng nodded. The disciple immediately became arrogant and superior and said, "There will be an outer sect hegemony battle once a month. Any outer sect disciple can participate. In fact, this kind of hegemony battle is like a casino. If you are lucky and win the bet, you won't have to take on missions for the rest of your life." "Uh?" Zhou Peng's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he found that the disciple had already run far away, as if afraid that if he was late, he wouldn't be able to see it. "Could it be a casino system?" "No, it should be a casino PK system." A mysterious smile appeared on Zhou Peng's face. Thinking of the online games in his previous life, this kind of PK system is almost everywhere. There are peripheral bets, betting on gold coins, betting on equipment, and even betting on women. Zhou Peng is naturally very familiar with these. Unable to contain the excitement in his heart, Zhou Peng also rushed over following the crowd. Gambling is a very exciting thing. Especially when facing huge benefits, it is even more extremely exciting. Zhou Peng likes to gamble, but he likes to be in control of everything himself, not be controlled by others. The outer sect hegemony battle is actually a means to consume merit points. Just the entrance fee alone can bring in tens of thousands of merit points in one night. Plus commissions and various miscellaneous fees, it can collect more than a hundred thousand merit points in one night. The profit is extremely huge. There is still more than half an hour before the start of the event. The venue is already crowded with people and extremely congested. Roars, insults, and discussions are all hysterical. Here, if you don't speak louder, no one will know what you are saying at all. When Zhou Peng stepped into the venue, his mind was greatly shaken. The venue was like a giant football field. In the center of the venue, there was a circular arena. The arena was shining with flowing light. At a glance, one could tell that it was a barrier set up by a powerful person to prevent innocent people from being hurt. "Alas, Brother Zhou?" Zhou Peng was stunned. He turned his head and looked. With a loud smile, he said, "Brother Lin!" Lin Yan and a few others squeezed over. Looking at Zhou Peng, Lin Yan was faintly excited and asked, "Why are you here too?" Suddenly thinking of something, he exclaimed, "You wouldn't have become a disciple of the Thousand Machines Sect, right?" Zhou Peng smiled and said, "Yes, I just entered a few days ago." As he spoke, he glanced at Yi Qianhan a few times. Yi Qianhan also looked at him. Their eyes met. Yi Qianhan quickly withdrew her gaze and turned to another place, her face slightly flushed. Lin Yan and a few others have been in the Thousand Machines Sect for several years and know many people. People around them all smiled politely when they saw him. Lin Yan also greeted them one by one. It has been almost a year since they parted at Kunlun Mountain. Unexpectedly, they meet so soon. Lin Yan firmly remembers Zhou Peng's help and hopes to repay it one day. But he didn't expect Zhou Peng to come to the Thousand Machines Sect. He felt that the time to repay his kindness had come. Zhou Peng also didn't expect to meet Lin Yan and a few others so soon. Seeing Yi Qianhan's icy face, Zhou Peng smiled wryly in his heart. Then he ignored it. "Brother Zhou, do you want to place a bet?" Lin Yan smiled and looked at the venue. He said enthusiastically, "We have developed quite well in the past six months and accumulated a lot of merit points. If you want to place a bet, tell me. I'll place the bet for you. The hidden ones count as yours. If you lose, it counts as mine." Zhou Peng smiled and said, "Thank you." "I want to ask, can anyone participate?"
