Chapter 1330: The Eve of the Competition
Shen Xiang felt that the rewards for this competition should not be too bad.
"We don't know yet, but the new king will definitely not bring inferior things, and he would be embarrassed to take them." An old man said. If someone calls them seniors, they will naturally respond politely.
Shen Xiang knew that these old men had been here for a long time and knew a lot of information, so he started chatting with them and asked some questions he wanted to know.
"It is said that the newly established Human King Immortal Kingdom has also sent a group of alchemists to join in the fun!"
"That's for sure. This is a great opportunity to become famous. Even the Royal Dragon Clan, who rarely participate in such events, sent a Royal Dragon who knows how to make pills to participate in the competition."
Shen Xiang was a little surprised that there were also people who could make pills in the Royal Dragon Clan.
"What I'm more concerned about is the contest between Li Tianjun and Bixia Danxian. This guy lost miserably last time. I don't know if he can win this time."
"Bixia Danxian is the chief Danxian of the Fire God Temple and the Danxian guarding the temple. However, I think the Danxian from the Demon Suppression Temple is more interesting. It is said that she is a Danxian who knows how to use the Demon Suppression Holy Fire. I wonder how powerful she is. I really want to see it."
Holy Fire of the Righteous Demon! Shen Xiang clenched his fists slightly. Of course, he also knew how to use this kind of fire. It was stimulated by the Holy Power of Demon Suppression. This could not be considered a holy flame in the true sense. Holy flames were above heavenly fire.
Just as Shen Xiang was listening to this group of old men chatting excitedly, a low cry from a man suddenly came from the venue. As soon as Shen Xiang heard it, he knew it was the kind of lustful cry that a man would make when he saw a beautiful woman.
This is the venue for the competition and also the registration place. There are already seven or eight thousand people here. Shen Xiang immediately looked towards the passage leading to the venue and was stunned.
There were two women and three men who came. One of the women was the familiar Liu Meng'er. Although her face was covered with a veil, she was still radiant and radiant. The mature and beautiful woman next to her was no different from her, also wearing a veil, but her noble and dignified temperament and a pair of gentle eyes made people feel ashamed and dared not look directly at her.
Shen Xiang took a deep breath, then moved from the two women in purple dresses to the three men beside them. One of them was middle-aged, with a beard on his face. He was very handsome, looked very steady, and gave people a very powerful feeling. He had a faint and gentle smile on his face. Liu Meng'er and the dignified and beautiful woman stood on both sides of him respectively.
"That woman should be Liu Meng'er's mother, and the man must be her father. They are indeed two very powerful people." Long Xueyi said: "I can't see their strength clearly for the time being!"
In addition to Liu Meng'er's family of three, there were two handsome young men who looked quite capable who followed in. It was obvious at first glance that they were from famous families, and the ornaments they wore were all very valuable.
"Sister Meng'er is becoming more and more attractive!" Shen Xiang admired in his heart. Thinking of the things that happened between him and Liu Meng'er, his heart was moved.
"Hmph, go up and meet her!" Long Xueyi snorted.
"I won't do it. Her parents are too powerful. If they find out about Sister Meng'er, Master and I... ahem, I will be beaten to death." Shen Xiang curled his lips.
When Liu Meng'er and her group arrived, the place became much quieter, because it was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary people and they were also here to sign up for the competition.
What surprised everyone was that the person who signed up was actually Liu Meng'er's mother. Shen Xiang remembered that Liu Meng'er never said that her mother was also an alchemist. In his opinion, she should be a weapon refiner anyway.
"I'm just signing up on behalf of someone else. That person may not come yet, so this should be okay." Liu Meng'er's mother said softly.
"Of course...name." The old man nodded.
"Shao Xuanyun!"
Hearing this name, Shen Xiang just frowned slightly, because he had never heard of it, but others exclaimed in surprise. From everyone's discussions, Shen Xiang learned that Shao Xuanyun was the wife of his senior brother!
Hua Xiangyue said at the beginning that her master was the wife of Senior Brother Shen Xiang. She had been in the heaven for some time, but she had never seen her Senior Brother. It was said that he was a very powerful person.
Shen Xiang's senior brother and his wife were from the same period as Liu Meng'er's parents, so it was normal for them to have a good relationship. What made him a little depressed was that he might have to fight against Shao Xuanyun at that time.
"Master, this old madman, didn't even mention the eldest senior brother to me last time. He should have taken me to meet him." Shen Xiang complained in his heart.
Shen Xiang was watching from a distance. He really wanted to meet Liu Meng'er, but now was not the right time.
"Meng'er, you are here too! Isn't Xiangyue coming to join us?" Long Huishan suddenly walked in, exuding a strong dragon aura. She was wearing armor and had the aura of a female dragon king. Although her beauty was already very attractive, her aura made her even more charming.
Another incredible strong woman has arrived, and everyone is secretly surprised.
"Her master is here, she definitely won't participate. Who will your Long family send out? I heard it's a fifth-grade alchemy immortal!" Liu Meng'er asked with a smile.
"The person I sent must be a very powerful alchemy master. We will definitely take first place this time!" Long Huishan said very confidently.
"Haven't you already signed up? Who are you signing up for now?" Liu Meng'er asked. She had a good relationship with Long Huishan, and it was all because of Shen Xiang.
"I came to see if that little bastard Shen Xiang has signed up. He has already ascended, but he's been hiding like a turtle all day. It's already this time, and he doesn't even show his head." Long Huishan felt a little angry when she mentioned Shen Xiang.
Of course Shen Xiang thought about it, but he has done a lot of big things recently. If he jumps out now, some people will definitely associate the matter with him, and then he will definitely not be able to participate in the competition smoothly.
"I'm afraid he won't come. If he shows up, then we shouldn't compete anymore. It will be enough to just hunt him down and snatch the treasures from him." Liu Meng'er whispered.
"What are you afraid of? I will protect him. Whoever dares to snatch him away will be killed." Long Huishan said loudly.
Shen Xiang left from another door. He was worried that he would be provoked by Long Huishan to jump out. For him now, the most important thing was to compete smoothly.
In the early days before the start of the competition, many well-known alchemists arrived one after another. Only after taking the assessment could they be qualified to participate, even well-known alchemists had to undergo the assessment.
Shen Xiang did not do anything else, but wandered around all day, trying to find out some useful information for himself, such as the recent movements of those big forces that had grudges against him, and how many people had come.
"I don't know where the master is. I don't know where this old madman is hiding to eat and drink for free." Shen Xiang sat on the roof, looking at the sunset, and sighed softly.
Part (2) Dragon Wing
There is still one day left before the competition starts. This is the final deadline. Those who have already registered and passed the test need to collect a competition jade medal today, which is equivalent to a competition qualification certificate and requires 10,000 fairy crystals to purchase.
There are tens of thousands of alchemists participating in the competition, and the Wandan Immortal Kingdom can make a lot of money by collecting these fees, so it is not too much of a loss for them to give out some precious prizes.
Shen Xiang queued up to buy the jade token very early, and the rules were also announced today. After seeing the content of the first game, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The first game is usually set up to eliminate a large number of participating alchemists. In this round, only one thousand alchemists can enter the second game, which means that tens of thousands of alchemists will be eliminated after the first game.
"The scoring method is adopted, mainly for refining earth-grade pills. The medicinal materials are provided by the Wandan Immortal Country. One point for each earth-grade low-grade pill, two points for each medium-grade pill, and three points for each high-grade pill. Only high-grade pills will be scored, and finally the ranking will enter the next round based on the points. That means the top one thousand alchemists." Shen Xiang looked at the rules and thought in his mind. If it were him, he would definitely refine earth-grade high-grade pills, because he could refine high-grade pills as fast as low-grade pills.
"The top three alchemists can obtain the pills they have refined, and the others will belong to the Wandan Immortal Kingdom." Shen Xiang laughed and said, "What a good plan. In this way, tens of thousands of outstanding alchemists can help them refine a large number of pills."
"The Wandan Immortal Kingdom will definitely not suffer any loss. The prizes they give out in the end should be very precious. They can only recover their costs in this way. At that time, you will need to pay an admission fee to enter and watch the game. The heaven is so big, there will definitely be many people who will buy it." Su Meiyao said.
"The prizes haven't been announced yet!" Shen Xiang was somewhat dissatisfied. If he knew what the final reward was, it would make him more motivated.
"This first round is relatively fair. It can take care of most low-level alchemists and give them a chance to squeeze into the top 1,000." Su Meiyao said.
Those with high points must be alchemists who can refine pills quickly and produce many high-quality pills. Most of these alchemists are high-level alchemists. Of course, there are also some low-level alchemists who can reach this level, but they are very rare.
After getting the jade token, Shen Xiang walked around here, but didn't find Li Tianjun, so he walked out of the fairy palace. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Liu Meng'er and her parents again. In addition to the two young men from famous families, their family also had a pair of talented and beautiful lovers. He guessed that they were his senior brother and his wife.
"Your senior brother and his wife are immortal kings, so powerful!" Long Xueyi exclaimed.
Shen Xiang's senior brother is named Wang Weiquan, a tall and handsome man. Although he does not have a very sturdy and strong figure, he looks very strong. He chats with Liu Meng'er's father with a big smile on his face, while his wife Shao Xuanyun holds his arm and talks with Liu Meng'er and her daughter.
"Is that Xuan Yun Danxian?" A man beside Shen Xiang said.
Shao Xuanyun had a veil on her face, just like Liu Meng'er and her daughter. In such a crowded place, most women covered their faces with veils, which was not uncommon, but it was still obvious that Shao Xuanyun was very beautiful.
Shen Xiang was watching from a distance, and he felt somewhat excited when he could see his senior brother.
"Does that old man look like your master?" Long Xueyi suddenly said, "He's the one looking around on the street!"
Shen Xiang used the Wandering in the Sky ability and looked at the street. He saw an old man wearing coarse linen clothes, a bamboo hat, and a black wooden mask on his face.
"I don't know, but it's very suspicious." Shen Xiang squeezed out of the crowd and headed to the other side of the street. The old man had not left yet.
After Shen Xiang arrived, he looked at him, then smiled slightly. This old man was indeed Huang Jintian, and Huang Jintian also recognized him.
"Little bastard, have you seen your senior brother?" Huang Jintian sent a voice message to Chen Xiang: "It's the one who was with Liu Yatou's parents, and he brought his wife with him."
Chen Xiang stepped on his foot: "Master, he is your eldest disciple, why are you hiding? Go and meet him!"
Huang Jintian pinched his arm and said with a smile: "That girl Liu is still your lover. Aren't you hiding from her? Go and meet her!"
Huang Jintian pulled Shen Xiang away, and they shuttled through the streets. At the same time, he asked in a voice transmission: "What did you pick up on the battlefield? I heard that there was a guy who knew how to use the magic corruption death energy and the drunken god poison, and almost made the old lady Wang Qiongjin die. Could it be you who did this?"
"I won't hide it from you, it was indeed me who did it. If you were there at that time, we could definitely kill her together as master and disciple. But now she is lingering on, which must be more painful than death." Shen Xiang responded.
"Humph, what about Little Jinpeng? Did you kill him?" Huang Jintian snorted, "Hurry up and give me a Jinpeng kick, or I'll expose you and make your name even more infamous!"
Shen Xiang muttered: "Master, you are not kind. You have gained a lot of benefits on the battlefield, so you should give me some."
"I'll give you a bird claw, but you have to exchange it for something."
Huang Jintian glared at him and said, "You and I are master and disciple, is it necessary to be so fussy?"
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. You must have gotten better things than me in that battlefield." Shen Xiang curled his lips.
"Okay, I'll give you a dragon wing and you'll give me a bird leg. Is that okay?" Huang Jintian said.
"Dragon Wing?" Shen Xiang didn't know what this was.
"It's the dragon's wing. During the war, a pterosaur participated in it. That guy died later and I got it. I'll give you a wing. The meat is definitely no less than that of a bird's leg." Huang Jintian said.
"Old madman, with such a rich harvest, he still wants to steal my bird leg." Shen Xiang muttered in his heart, and then asked Long Xueyi to cut a golden roc bird leg, asking her to cut as little as possible.
"Hand-to-hand combat, give it to me!" Shen Xiang took out a storage bag.
Although they are master and disciple, both of them are very cunning and are worried about being cheated by the other.
"Here, you little bastard, you have no respect for your teachers at all. Not only do you not respect me, but you also always argue with me about these things." Huang Jintian exchanged the storage bag while cursing.
Long Xueyi said: "The winged imperial dragon is very rare. I didn't expect it to die. The Imperial Dragon Clan suffered a huge loss this time. I hope it tastes better than the golden roc. I haven't eaten it yet!"
"Master, do you know the eldest senior brother's wife? I might face her during the alchemy competition!" Shen Xiang asked.
