Ye Futian's group left the Alchemy Casino after a round of looting. Everyone had received ritual implements, and they could not hold back their laughter when they walked out of the casino.
The elder sent them off personally and asked Ye Futian when they would participate in another battle. Ye Futian said he could not. He had enough ritual implements and thanked the elder for his generous gift.
They could not forget the elder's "sad" eyes.
The elder's heart was filled with hatred. Even though they already had high hopes for the Holy Zhi Palace's group, they had still underestimated Ye Futian's group's abilities when facing Li Futu's group. That was why they had made the wrong judgment. If they had judged that Ye Futian's group would win, they would have followed the odds of one to one. That way, they would have made a killing.
How regretful.
The news of the battle spread quickly in Alchemy City and attracted much discussion. The Fire Emperor Palace's Li Futu, Yu Ming, and the others had worked together and lost to the Holy Zhi Palace's group that had entered three years ago. The Barren State's number one holy land lived up to its name.
Many people wanted to see this group. Some of the other geniuses who had arrived in Alchemy City also wanted to see the Holy Zhi Palace's strength.
Of course, the discussion of the battle was quickly drowned because the Alchemy Conference was about to begin.
…
On this day, Alchemy City was boiling. Countless people headed in the same direction, where the City Lord Office was.
In the air, ritual implements whistled and demons roared. Many people discussed the Alchemy Conference. It was said that all the important figures in the southwest of the Barren State would come to watch the decennial Alchemy Conference. After all, Alchemy City was the core of the region. The City Lord of Alchemy City was a top figure. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or armorer, he was unparalleled. He was ranked eighth on the Barren Sky Ranking. If he used ritual implements to fight, no one in the top ten would be willing to face him.
In the southwest of the Barren State, the City Lord of Alchemy City, You Chi, was the strongest. Even the top figures had to give him face.
Other than that, the other regions of the Barren State would also send people to watch. One could only imagine how grand it would be.
At the moment, there was a flight of stairs outside the City Lord Office. At the bottom of the stairs was an extremely vast area. There were eight Alchemy Pillars standing there, and there were smelting furnaces burning on them. The center of the Alchemy Pillars was where all the mighty ones of the Alchemy Conference forged their implements.
At the top of the stairs and on both sides, there were viewing areas. There were many distinguished seats on the stairs outside the City Lord Office, where only top cultivators were qualified to sit. On both sides, only people from top forces who had been invited were qualified to watch the Alchemy Conference. As for ordinary people, even Sage Plane figures, they could only watch the Alchemy Conference from the back.
At that moment, the outskirts were filled with people. Countless mighty ones from Alchemy City had come to watch the once-a-decade event. Even those who had no interest in armorer would be able to see many top-notch figures that they would never have the chance to see on a normal day. Many of them would be powerful existences on the Barren Sky Ranking.
At the bottom of the stairs, many people from the City Lord's Mansion had already arrived, guarding and maintaining order.
Those who were going to participate in this time's refining also entered the venue one after another. They stepped into the refining area and found a place to stop.
Top armorer masters from all over would gather here to compete in armorer skills. This was a stage that belonged to them, and the Barren State would be watching.
"The mighty ones from the Lu Family have arrived. The Lu Family Leader has come personally." At that moment, a group of mighty ones arrived in the air. The Lu Family was one of the top forces in Alchemy City. Although it was not as powerful as the City Lord Office or the Emperor Family, it was still a powerful force. The young master of the City Lord Office of Alchemy City came to welcome them. The Lu Family Leader and other important figures were arranged to sit on the stairs, while the younger ones were on the viewing platforms on both sides.
"The Zhou Family has also arrived." Another clan from Alchemy City had arrived. Like the Lu Family, they were also a top clan in Alchemy City.
After that, mighty ones from all over entered the venue one after another. Even the top forces of Burning Sky City had arrived. Some important figures gradually walked out from the City Lord Office to welcome the guests personally. However, the City Lord of Alchemy City did not appear. With his status, there were not many people in the entire Barren State who were qualified to make him wait here.
"The Sacred Fire Sect has arrived. That is the leader of the Sacred Fire Sect." Many people looked at the group of figures walking in the air. The leader was an elder who was extremely dignified. He was the leader of the sect, and he had come personally. He landed on the stairs and sat down.
At that moment, at the entrance of the City Lord Office, a group of figures walked out. The leader wore a long golden robe. He looked middle-aged, and his face was chiseled. He had a very elegant demeanor. Many important figures who had arrived stood up and saluted him.
"The City Lord is here." Countless people stared at the figure who walked out. Now that the important figures from all over had arrived, as the host, the City Lord of Alchemy City, You Chi, naturally could not be absent.
"Good morning, everyone." You Chi saluted the people who had arrived, then walked to the main seat in the center. He looked around at the crowd. Countless people in the distance saluted him and shouted, "Greetings, City Lord."
You Chi waved his hand and said, "Today is the Alchemy Conference. I am not the main character. Those who want to participate in the Alchemy Conference, please enter first."
As his voice landed, more and more mighty ones entered the venue.
"How have you been, City Lord You?" At that moment, a terrifying flame beast appeared in the air. There was a group of mighty ones on it, and the leader had an extremely imposing aura. His eyes were fiery red, and he had his hands behind his back.
"Yan Jun."
Everyone stared at the figure who had arrived. Yan Jun, the Palace Lord of Fire Emperor Palace, was a powerful existence on the Barren Sky Ranking. Li Futu, who was beside him, was an extremely famous genius. In this region, his reputation was second only to Di Gang of the Emperor Family. However, it was said that Li Futu had suffered a defeat a few days ago, but it was not his fault. It was a group battle.
Not only Li Futu, but his wife Xiang Zhiyan and Xiang Zhiqin, a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace, were also there. They descended from the air.
"How has Yan Jun been?" You Chi asked.
"What can be good in a place like the flame? I came to join in the fun." Yan Jun laughed heartily.
"It's good to join in the fun. Many old people are here today. Sit," You Chi said. "I heard that Yan Jun's son, Li Futu, is extremely talented. Today, I have seen him for myself. There is no need to go to the sides. Just stay here and watch the ceremony."
"Thank you, senior." Li Futu cupped his hands and said.
"I am ashamed to say this. This kid just suffered a defeat in Alchemy City a few days ago. He is quite useless," Yan Jun said. Li Futu and Xiang Zhiyan stood behind Yan Jun. The others went to the sides. It was impossible for all the descendants to stay on the stairs to watch the ceremony. There were limited seats here.
"That was a group battle. It was not Young Master Li's fault. Yan Jun, there is no need to punish the younger generation." At that moment, an extremely gentle voice came from afar. It was just a voice, but it made people feel like they were about to sink into it. Many people instantly knew who had arrived.
There was only one person in the western region of the Barren State who could have such charm.
In the air, a group of women arrived with a sedan chair. These women were all dressed in white and looked like fairies. They were extremely beautiful. Even the famous beauty Su Hongxiu was standing beside the sedan chair.
The curtain of the sedan was pulled open, and a woman descended from the sky. She was like a Jiutian Goddess. The moment they saw her face, countless people fell for her.
The woman's beautiful hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her eyes were like ripples in autumn, and she had an indescribable charm. Just looking at her body and her exquisite curves was enough to make people sink into her. She wore a long dress, and the skin on the side of her legs was faintly discernible. Her slender legs made people unable to move their eyes away. Her jade-like bones and ice-cold skin were as delicate as a young girl's.
However, the most beautiful part of the woman was still her eyes and face. They were so perfect that one could not find fault with them. Just one look was enough to make people sink into her and be unable to extricate themselves.
The number one beauty of the Barren State's western region, the Palace Lord of the Goddess Pavilion, Chu Ji.
As cultivators became stronger, their lifespans would increase, and their beauty would not decline. However, there was only one woman like Chu Ji in the Barren State. The more she cultivated, the more beautiful she became. Su Hongxiu was a stunning woman, and even standing next to her was slightly inferior. The two looked the same age, as if they were sisters.
Moreover, what was more terrifying about Chu Ji was not her beauty, but her charm. Su Hongxiu's charm was already extremely strong, but it was still far from Chu Ji's.
Chu Ji was a woman who could make people sink into her forever with just one look. Even Yan Jun did not dare to look at her for too long. He only glanced at her indifferently and snorted coldly, "Chu Ji, don't show off your charm in front of the younger generation."
He knew how terrifying Chu Ji's charm was. How could the younger generation withstand it? At that moment, countless people below were staring at Chu Ji's face, and they were amazed that such a woman existed in the world.
Was this the legendary Goddess Pavilion Lord, the number one beauty of the Western Region?
"Alright." Chu Ji smiled. After that, her temperament suddenly changed. She stood there like a noble goddess, inviolable. In the blink of an eye, she gave people a completely different temperament. Seeing this scene, many people sighed. Beautiful women were the source of trouble. Such a woman was definitely a scourge.
In the void, another cultivator stepped over. Many people turned their eyes and looked at the newcomer.
"The Di Family."
"Di Kai, the leader of the Di Family, is here. Di Gang is here too." Countless people looked at the descending figure. Di Kai, a super existence on the Barren Sky Ranking.
Di Gang, known as the most talented person in the southwest, was unparalleled.
"A loss is a loss. Since Li Futu is here, he has no right to deny it," Di Gang said after arriving. He glanced at Li Futu, obviously referring to what Chu Ji had said. She said that Li Futu was not at fault in that battle.
Li Futu's eyes froze and he looked at Di Gang. He said, "Indeed, since I was here, I naturally had my reasons. A loss is a loss."
Di Gang looked at Li Futu with more admiration. He did not bring shame to the name of a genius.
"What a proud fellow." Chu Ji smiled faintly. Di Gang did not look at her. Of course, he had heard of Chu Ji. He did not want to let a woman affect his state of mind. This woman was a demon.
"Junior Bai Luli greets seniors." At that moment, a figure walked over from afar. Countless people looked in that direction and saw an elegant young man walking in the void.
