Liang Nine and the others stared at Ye Zifeng. They were startled for a bit and then looked at each other and started laughing.
"Little brother. Your idea is good. But do you know where we are? This isn't like your Leizhou City where alchemists are scarce. Pills here are three times cheaper than in Leizhou City! "
"Hehe ….. Forget it. Brother Nine, don't talk to him anymore. He's talking like he can really get into the top three. All the top alchemists in the five cities are gathered here. How can an apprentice like him control the results?! "
Ye Zifeng smiled, "What do you guys think? Are you guys going to bet or not?"
"Bet. Of course we're going to bet! If we lose, we'll just have to buy your pills at the price of cabbages. Why can't we bet? "
Liang Nine laughed and immediately made his decision. As the leader of the group, how could he lose to a brat like Ye Zifeng?
"That's good. Let's sign a blood contract. It's a deal!"
"Fine. Who's afraid of who? Little brother, I'm telling you. If you lose, don't blame me for bullying you. You're the one who fell in here! "
"Of course." Ye Feng's eyes were indifferent. The corner of his mouth revealed an imperceptible smile.
… …
Under the guidance of the Muyun Clan's guards, Ye Zifeng finally found Bingqian and the others. They had been waiting in the hall for a while now.
"I'm not late right?" Ye Zifeng smiled and looked around. It was still very noisy. It seems like there's still some time before the competition starts.
Yang Jing sighed slightly: "Although it hasn't completely started, but listen to the surrounding people's discussion, almost all of them are laughing at Junior Sister. I can't comfort her anymore, why don't you do it, Young Master Ye?"
Ye Zifeng had an awkward smile on his face. He really wasn't good at dealing with women. Even though he had seen a lot of things in his previous life and met a lot of women in the Vanity Fair, they were all fake. The number of women that he had a close relationship with could be counted on one hand.
"Miss Jing. You comforting her and me comforting her. Isn't that the same thing?"
Yang Jing gave him a meaningful look as a helpless smile appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Then …. Of course it's different. Hurry up and comfort her. I don't want it to affect her when she's concocting pills. "
"But …. Fine."
Because it's a two-person team, if something happens to their partner, it will affect the results of the concoction. Since he can't avoid this, Ye Zifeng decided to take responsibility.
With this thought in mind, Ye Zifeng moved closer to Bingqian and smiled, "Bingqian, are you afraid that you'll be last in the Grand Pill Competition?"
Seeing that Ye Zifeng had come, Bingqian's eyes lit up and went back to normal.
"Big brother rough guy, to be honest, the last few times I participated in the alchemy competition, I always became the laughing stock of others. I'm already used to it, so I don't take it seriously. But I, Bingqian, I, Bingqian, Bingqian, you, I, I, Feng, you, Sect Sect., you, Zifeng, I, Ye, you., Ye, Chen, I, Feng, I, Master, one., one, one, one, one.
Ye Zifeng smiled and comforted her, "Since it's a suggestion, then it's just a suggestion. It's not done yet. Furthermore, have some confidence in yourself. With me here, I won't let you be at the bottom. That's the promise I made with you before I came to participate in the alchemy competition. "
Bingqian was startled and her expression turned better. She looked at Ye Zifeng worriedly.
"But …. Won't this give you a lot of pressure …."
"Pressure?" Ye Zifeng had a bright smile on his face. In the past, he had always been concocting pills for big shots. Sometimes, if he didn't concoct pills well, his life would be in danger. Compared to this, the pressure was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Don't worry. This pressure is nothing to me."
Bingqian's eyes lit up and laughed, "Big brother rough guy ….. I was being too unreasonable. Don't take it to heart. I'm fine now." To be comforted by Ye Zifeng, she was already very happy. Alchemy and Leizhou City's success and failure ….. Of course, she had to wait.
Ye Zifeng's expression changed and turned cold, "But then again, who was the one that suggested to your master to disqualify Leizhou City from the alchemy competition?"
Liu Bing Qian mumbled and pointed to a young master in the distance who was dressed like a descendant of an aristocratic family. That person was wearing a white robe and had a green lychee belt on his waist. One look and you can tell that he's a young master from a noble family.
"Look. The one that suggested it was him. He's the son of Tonghuo City's city lord. He's very influential and was the second place in the last alchemy competition. His common tier flame is at the peak of perfection."
Ye Zifeng coldly smiled, "Even if it's at the peak of perfection, it's still a common tier flame. Bingqian, introduce me to the other groups. Know yourself and know your enemy. It's good to increase your chances of winning. "
Bingqian wanted to tell him that you don't even have a common tier flame. However, she knew that with Ye Zifeng's strength, even if he didn't have a common tier flame, he was still better than Song Shiyun.
"Alright. I'll introduce you to the five cities around Tiandao City. Our Leizhou City is one of them. The other four are ….."
Ye Zifeng replied, "Lingfeng City, Tonghuo City, Qushui City and Huangtu City." Since each city has an element, it wasn't hard to remember them.
Bingqian looked at him with admiration, "That's right. In each of the four cities, Muyun Old Devil's master picked the best young alchemists to participate in the competition and sent out invitations. That's how the competition started."
Ye Zifeng caught onto the keywords and smiled, "So you're saying that all the participants are young alchemists?"
Even though he promised Bingqian that he would participate in the competition, he didn't know the basic rules yet. Right now, he was trying to learn as much as he could. "Yeah.
"That's right, those senior alchemists will sit in the hall as the judges to assess the results of the pill formation. Generally speaking, it's like this …"
"Normally?" Ye Zifeng was shocked.
"Yeah. The competition is different every time. I don't know what it'll be like this time. In order to be fair, Master Muyun didn't even tell me. It's obvious that she wants me to make a fool out of myself."
Bingqian pouted and had a dissatisfied expression on her face. She was disappointed that she didn't get to enjoy the privilege of being a disciple.
At that moment, a sharp and clear female voice came from the main hall.
"Everyone. Please quiet down."
Because of this clear voice, the entire hall became quiet. This was because everyone knew that it was Muyun Old Devil's voice. No matter how strong she was, she still had to give face to the host.
Today, she was wearing a white robe as usual. However, her hair was tied up in a bun and she had a Magnolia hairpin in her hair. As for her chin, it was still the same beard that wasn't very sticky. This made those who saw Muyun Old Devil for the first time laugh.
Muyun Old Devil didn't care about everyone's gazes and laughed, "Everyone. The alchemy competition has always been an important competition in Tiandao City. Today, it's our Muyun Clan's turn to host it. This old devil feels honored. To be able to invite so many alchemists, it's my honor. Now, let me explain the rules of the alchemy competition ….. "
When the rules of the alchemy competition were mentioned, the youths from the other cities all had different expressions on their faces. Some perked up their ears, some were lazy and some didn't care at all.
Ye Zifeng acted as if he was listening. However, his eyes were constantly looking at each and every one of the participants. He was observing their actions and occasionally revealed a smile.
On the other side, Muyun Old Devil smiled and continued, "The alchemy competition will be split into two rounds. The first round will determine the top three. I will give everyone a fixed question. The time limit is two hours. Those who exceed the time limit and those who concoct slag will be eliminated. If everyone successfully concocts a pill, then the best will advance to the next round."
She paused for a bit and then mysteriously smiled, "As for the next round, I will explain it to you later ….. Does anyone have any questions about the first round?"
"No problem. Let's start."
"That's right, Lord Old Devil, we can't wait to advance to the next round of the competition. I, Young Master Hua, will show everyone the peak alchemy ability of Copper Fire City. Let me show everyone, show everyone in Heavenly Law City." The youth in luxurious clothing laughed loudly, his demeanor was especially arrogant.
Even though he looked arrogant on the outside, he wasn't a brainless and arrogant person.
This alchemy competition had attracted many reputable people from Tiandao City, all for the sake of finding a powerful alchemist for their sect or family. If he could gain their attention, this finely dressed youth might be able to reach the heavens in a single step and obtain a permanent opportunity to cultivate in Tiandao City.
Muyun Old Devil understood what he was thinking and smiled, "Since there are no more questions ….. Then let's start the alchemy competition ….."
