A Good Romance

However, when Sun Dong led Zhao Qingfeng and Lu Xianming to the first floor, he discovered that Ling Han had entered into the Time Cultivation Chamber again.
"No matter, this person has definitely come to participate in the tournament," Zhao Qingfeng said with a smile. "With his strength, he will definitely be able to stand out from the first floor. Then, I will wait for him in the finals."
He bared his teeth, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth, yet he was as bloodthirsty as a wild beast.
Those who were not familiar with him would only think that he was cold and proud, but those who truly understood him would tremble in fear.
That was because what he loved the most was killing.
Among the Four Heavenly Kings under Yan Xianlu, he was the most bloodthirsty. In fact, when fighting for treasures in ancient sites, he had even killed a few Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. If it were not for the fact that the Eternal Prosperity Palace was an Eighth Heaven Celestial King Tier force, he would probably have been captured long ago to pay with his life.
Torturing and killing prodigies was his greatest hobby.
Why didn't he kill Bao Cheng?
It was not because he was afraid of the rules of Alchemy City. Of course, this was also part of the reason. After all, he had come for the Dao Regulating Pill this time. If he was chased out, how would he explain it to Yan Xianlu?
In this vast world, he only feared Yan Xianlu. Otherwise, with his talent, he could become a Holy Son in any great sect, so why would he need to be a subordinate?
More importantly, Bao Cheng and the others could no longer be considered prodigies in his eyes, so there was no meaning in killing them.
A single look from Ling Han scared Sun Dong to the ground, and this aroused his interest.
If they met in the tournament, then it would be fine even if he killed him, right?
He showed a cruel smile. Torturing and killing a prodigy would endlessly stimulate his Martial Art Heart. If Ling Han was strong enough, then he could use this to open the door to the fifth severance.
He hoped that Ling Han would not disappoint him.
Because he could not go to the second floor for the time being, Ling Han first went to understand the matter of the Dao Regulating Pill.
It was very simple. First sign up, then fight, fight, fight, fight. Each floor would have four people, and then the winners of the fourth floor would fight again. The final champion would obtain this Dao Regulating Pill.
No one would participate in the fifth floor's battles. Those who lived there were all supreme elites of Alchemy City, or great alchemists.
Every time Alchemist Zi Cheng refined a precious alchemical pill, he would battle it out like this to determine who it would belong to, regardless of how many stars it was.
Several million years ago, there were still a great many Ascending Origin Elites competing, and not just in Alchemy City. As long as one came to register, he could participate in the competition.
This alchemist liked this kind of thing. He liked it when martial artists fought over pills until their heads bled.
However, because Alchemy City had the custom of locking the levels once the competition began, the competition in the first level was the greatest. People from all over the world could only register here, and then fight their way out.
There were only four spots, so it would definitely be a fierce battle.
Ling Han went to register first. It was done very quickly because the registration had been open for more than ten days. Although there were still people coming to register, it was not as crowded as before.
The competition would begin 11 days later. Taking advantage of the time he still had, Ling Han went to the Time Cultivation Chamber again. This time, he naturally only needed 10 days, and after acceleration, it would be 50 days. It was not a short time, and definitely could not be wasted.
Without any suspense, these 50 days of attempts still ended in failure, but Ling Han's confidence grew. In another five years' time, he would definitely be able to concoct his first cauldron of Celestial pills.
Then, if it was accelerated by five times, he could shorten it to one year, and if it was accelerated by 10 times, he would only need half a year. If the acceleration effect was even higher, then this realistic time could be further shortened.
When Ling Han came out of the cultivation chamber, there was only one day left before the tournament would begin.
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden came out of the Black Tower. She wanted to cheer for Ling Han, and watch her beloved man sweep through all obstacles, defeating all prodigies. Meanwhile, the Empress was still in seclusion because she was at the crucial moment of breaking through to the fourth severance.
The two of them went to the arena on the first level.
This was used for battle. It could be used for people to spar, and it could also be used for humans to battle Demonic Beasts, Divine Beasts, and Immortal Beasts. Of course, there were also battles between beasts, as well as group battles.
Not only was the battle area of the arena very large, the spectator stands were also ridiculously large, enough to accommodate 1,000,000 people. If it was the last row, it was like from the peak of a mountain, and even the arena was pitifully small.
Thankfully, cultivators' eyesight was too good, and this bit of distance would not have much effect.
To enter the arena, one had to first buy a ticket. Furthermore, the price of the ticket would be different at different times. For example, for the tournament this time, a single day's ticket was one Star Stone, but one could also buy through tickets, and until the end of the entire tournament, one would have to pay 10 Star Stones.
Through tickets were very popular because ordinary people originally did not have the right to go to the fourth level, but after entering into the final rounds, all the tournaments would be held on the fourth level, and one could go up by buying through tickets. If it was a single ticket, one could not buy it at all.
It was said that Alchemist Zi Cheng's shadow was behind this arena.
Indeed, he did not sell alchemical pills, but through this kind of method, he could earn a lot of money. Furthermore, it could be lively, and he could fool countless prodigies and elites.
Furthermore, it was not just the tickets. The gambling house also had a share of Alchemist Zi Cheng's profits. Every time, it seemed like he was giving out alchemical pills for free, but it was equivalent to letting innumerable prodigies and elites "perform" for this alchemical pill for free, and it could completely make up for the loss of giving out alchemical pills.
Who said that Alchemist Zi Cheng was a sucker?
Because Ling Han had registered to participate in the tournament, he could be exempted from the ticket, while the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden had bought through tickets, and she had even resold them from someone else at a high price. They had long since been sold out through the official channels.
"So blackmail, it actually costs 100 Star Stones." Ling Han gritted his teeth. Though he had this money, and did not mind, the original 10 Star Stones had been sold for 100 Star Stones. He had been taken for a sucker.
"These peddlers are probably related to the officials. Otherwise, it would be impossible for all the tickets to be in their hands," Ling Han said in displeasure. "In an instant, they have earned 10 times the original price. They really have a way of making money."
He really wanted to see this Alchemist Zi Cheng. He seemed extraordinary and refined, but in truth, he was completely focused on money.
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden covered her mouth and laughed softly, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Let's go in, and wait for your husband to show off his invincible might," Ling Han said with a smile. He put his arm around the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden and entered the arena.
This was definitely the case for the sake of making money. The preliminaries would take 10 days to finish, and each additional day meant that they could sell one more day of individual tickets. This was also the reason why through tickets were so popular. Though the one-time investment was great, through the whole process, through tickets were really cheap.
Ling Han shook his head. This preliminary round could clearly be completed in a single day, yet it had been forcefully split into 10 days. This was the reason why the pass seemed "cheap". Alchemist Zi Cheng's way of doing business was truly slippery.
He definitely had to meet this person, and properly ask him for advice on how to make money. Because if he wanted to advance the Divine Demon Sword to a Celestial Tool, who knew how much Godly metal he would need? This was all something that had to be bought with money.
There were really too many people who had registered, and the battles on the first level were also divided into 16 large circles. Each circle could send out one person, and then they would battle again. Eight people would advance, and then four people would advance. As long as they advanced to the fourth level, they would be able to proceed to the fourth level to fight in the finals.
But even if they were divided into 16 circles, there were still too many people, so they could only be divided again. For example, in the group that Ling Han was in, there were a total of 100 people.
"Hehe, this promotion spot is mine," a young man in cyan said with an arrogant and despotic expression. "If you don't want to be injured, then obediently get out. Otherwise, even if you are beaten to death, you deserve it."
At his side, shockingly, there were 11 people who had drawn their weapons, and protected him in the center. This was clearly a sign that they were going to bully him with numbers.
