"I ...... No, they ...... They're my friends, you know. Seeing Yan'er making fun of himself like this, Zhou Bo was really hard to argue, and subconsciously wanted to explain clearly, he knew that Yan'er must have been following him just now, so he saw the scene where Wei Yue and An Han were talking to him.

And Yan'er saw Zhou Bo anxiously explaining, bent down and smiled again, and said softly: "Hehe...... You don't have to explain it to me. After speaking, she turned her head to look around again, and said with some vigilance: "Okay, I have to go back, otherwise the head of the family will be suspicious." ”

"Well, goodbye then. Zhou Bo knew that Yan Er was about to run for the Holy Maiden, so now was a very important moment, if he really let Jin Xiao know that she was looking for him, he would definitely be furious.

After Yan Er smiled at Zhou Bo, his figure retreated sharply backwards, and disappeared into the woods behind him.

After Yan'er left, Zhou Bo looked at her disappearing woods for a long time, and finally, he sighed deeply, and then raised his feet again and continued to walk down the mountain.

When Zhou Bo returned to the inn, he quickly closed the door, sat on the bed and began to cultivate, although he didn't spend much spiritual power today, but when he thought that Jin Xiao and Murong Mo both wanted their lives, he was in no mood to do anything else.

"Senior, do you think that Jin Xiao will really come to arrest me?" Zhou Bo was bored, so he asked Xiang Qinglong, and Qinglong was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Didn't you listen to Yan'er's little girl, as long as you can win the championship, then Jin Xiao will not dare to touch you." ”

"Why?"

Qinglong patiently explained: "That Luo Mirage is the old bone of all the Medicine Sect and the Danren Sect, and the two major sects want to give him face, how dare Jin Xiao disobey him?" After a pause, Qinglong then explained: "And the reason why he said that he wanted to arrest you is that Bacheng doesn't dare to be blatant." So what you have to do now is to win the championship, because with the protection of Luo Mirage, it is equivalent to having the protection of the Fan Medicine Sect and the Danren Sect, even if that Jin Xiao is powerful, he will definitely not dare to go against these two major sects on the Gunan Continent. ”

Zhou Bo suddenly realized, it seems that Yan Er really didn't lie to himself, as long as he won the championship of the alchemy competition, he could avoid the pursuit of Jin Xiao and Mo Rongmo openly, and he no longer had to be afraid of being wanted by the Jin family, as soon as he thought of this, Zhou Bo felt that the champion of the alchemy competition was more like a pardon order than an honor for him.

Just as Zhou Bo was thinking, a slow footstep suddenly stopped in front of his door, Zhou Bo was startled, and just stood up when he saw an old man in rags pushing the door in.

"Guo Lao, why are you here?" The person who came was Guo Lao, and when he saw him slowly walking into the house, he smiled at Zhou Bo and said, "How do you feel about today's game?"

Where did Zhou Bo still have the leisure to talk to him about this, he now had a lot of doubts in his heart, and when he saw Guo Lao close the door, he quickly walked up and asked, "Guo Lao, what is the relationship between you and that Luo Mirage?"

"Oh, he's a friend of mine, just haven't been in touch for a long time. Guo Lao said very casually, while Zhou Bo anxiously told Guo Lao about meeting Yan'er in Fanyao Mountain today, and then asked, "Guo Lao, what do you think of this?"

After hearing this, Guo Lao frowned very angrily and snorted coldly: "Hmph! I knew that Jin Xiao was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and he dared to ignore me and Luo Mirage so much!!"

"Hey~~ Guo Lao, wait a minute!" Zhou Bo hurriedly grabbed the angry Guo Lao and said, "Guo Lao, if you are so angry now, it will not only hurt Yan'er, but also expose my identity!"

As soon as he heard this, Guo Lao was also silent, and seeing this, Zhou Bo said again: "Yan'er also said, as long as I can win the championship of the medicine refining competition, the Jin family will not dare to touch me, then I will win the championship!"

Guo Lao thought about it carefully before saying, "Okay then!" After a pause, Guo Lao said again: "Tomorrow is the second round of the competition, it is a competition to refine pills, you are tired today, so let's hurry up and rest!"

Zhou Bo hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then Guo Lao said a few more words before leaving here.

The next day, after a whole night's rest, Zhou Bo has fully recovered to the best state, and came to the Fan Medicine Sect at seven o'clock in the morning, although the sky has just dawned, but the audience is already full of spectators, they are all very lively, it seems that everyone's enthusiasm for this second round of the game is very high.

Zhou Bo sat directly in the player area, looked at the VIP area next to him, and found that there was no one, it seemed that those masters had not yet come, since this was the case, Zhou Bo also looked around, wanting to explore the situation nearby.

first looked at the place where An Han and Wei Yue were sitting yesterday, and found that the two of them were really there, and they were talking and laughing at this time, which made Zhou Bo feel as if he was being watched, and he was uncomfortable.

Hurriedly looked away, Zhou Bo suddenly found that there was an extra figure in the VIP seat on the side, and looked at a sloppy and rough man suspiciously, only to see his Chinese face, square and square, his appearance was extremely fierce, his eyebrows were already slightly drooping, but the eyes under the eyebrows were very clear, and he knew that he was not an ordinary person at a glance, and the most noticeable thing about him was his full beard, which looked arrogant and uninhibited.

Seeing this, Zhou Bo was puzzled, who was this man? How could he sit in the VIP seat?

Just when he was puzzled, Zhou Bo suddenly saw a girl in purple slowly walking to his side, the girl had straight black hair, although her appearance was not as holy as Chu Ling and An Han, nor was she as beautiful as Wei Yue, and she was not as charming as Yan'er's natural charm, but her whole body was filled with a youthful atmosphere, which was very cute.

Zhou Bo was stunned, because he recognized the purple-clothed girl in front of him, wasn't she the Luo Lan he met when he was taking the Dan card exam in Zihan City? ?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Bo's whole body shook violently, if Luo Lan and that man were in a master-apprentice relationship, then wouldn't this man be Ju Zongming, one of the Seven Ming Emperors of Gunan?

Zhou Bo looked at the rugged middle-aged man, and was thinking in his heart if he was the sixth Ming Emperor Ju Zongming, and at this time, he suddenly heard the voices of several young people around him whispering.

"Look, look, who is that person? How dare you sit there?" A young man pointed to Ju Zongming and asked the people around him suspiciously, and at this time, the person next to him immediately said: "Why don't you even know him? He is one of the famous Seven Ming Emperors, named Ju Zongming." ”

"Ju Zongming?" the man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How come I have never heard of such a person in the Seven Ming Emperors?"

I saw the man pouting and said in an unfathomable voice: "Of course you haven't heard of it, he has been living in seclusion since more than a hundred years ago, but I don't know why he is born again now." ”

As soon as they heard this, many people around them suddenly realized, and then they looked at Ju Zongming next to them together. I saw that at this time, Yue Ming and Na Chu Kun had already come, and they were greeting Ju Zongming politely.

"Senior, what kind of cultivation is this Ju Zongming?"

"Profit three levels. Qinglong said quickly, hearing this, Zhou Bo gave the Seven Ming Emperors a name in his heart, the first is naturally Dacheng master Luo Mirage, the second is Qin Lu who is at the fifth level, the third is Jin Xiao at the fourth level, and the fourth is the Ju Zongming in front of him, which is the cultivation of the third level of Yingming, and the fifth and sixth are Wu Haisheng and Mo Rongmo respectively, which are the cultivation of the second level of Ying.

"Senior, who is the last person in the Seven Ming Emperors?" Zhou Bo was at the end of the line, and found that the Seven Ming Emperors were still one less, so he asked curiously, and when he heard this, Qinglong said slowly: "This last Ming Emperor, named Xue Nu, he studied under Dan Renzong, and he also became famous as a young man, and won the championship of the alchemy competition very early, but after he successfully broke through the broken body and rose to Ying, he seemed to have evaporated in the world, and there was no news of him. ”

Zhou Bomo read the word Xue Nu for a while, and felt that he had never heard of him, so he asked curiously: "Then what kind of cultivation is he?"

Qinglong smiled and said, "I only know that he was at the first level before he disappeared, but now it has been a hundred years, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, and what kind of cultivation is he talking about!"

Since this Xue Nu has been missing for more than a hundred years, Zhou Bo no longer thinks about him, then now there are only the Six Ming Emperors here, and because Xue Nu's cultivation is at the first level, he is naturally ranked last among the seven Ming Emperors by Zhou Bo.

Just thinking about this, suddenly the field became chaotic, Zhou Bo came back to his senses and looked to the side, and found that several Ming Emperors had all arrived, and it was Luo Mirage who was sitting in the front, but Zhou Bo was curious that Guo Lao was not there, and he didn't know where he went.

And the six Ming Emperors arrived at this moment, each sitting there with a calm demeanor, only to see that Luo Mirage was still smiling, while Wu Haisheng and Jin Xiao were extremely serious, not smiling, and then looking at Mo Rongmo, at this time she was whispering something with Luo Lan, who was also a woman, and Luo Lan was very embarrassed, it seemed that they should not know each other before, and Qin Lu, he just sat there very casually, and chatted with Ju Zongming without a word, his expression was very relaxed.

The six Ming Emperors gathered together, and suddenly a solemn atmosphere permeated the audience, giving birth to an unprecedented pressure in the hearts of the audience, and the eyes of the audience were also focused on them, and all of them were admiring eyes, which made Zhou Bo a little envious, it seemed that these Ming Emperors were equivalent to their patron saints.

At this time, Luo Mirage suddenly stood up, glanced at the audience with a smile, and then said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, I announce that the second round of the competition has begun." ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience resounded with a tsunami-like cheer, and at the same time, under this cheer, the two-meter referees Han Bai and Han Hei also jumped on the field lightly.

After the cheers subsided, the chubby Han Bai said loudly: "The second round of the competition is about to start, and the competition stipulates that all contestants must refine a first-grade pill, a second-level pill, and a third-level pill within the specified time. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Hei on the side continued: "The game time is one hour, everyone only has two chances to fail, and any player who exceeds the time or fails more than twice will be eliminated." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience let out a deafening exclamation: "How can you refine so many pills? Refining three pills in one hour, this is simply impossible!"

"Why is it that everyone only has two chances to fail, and didn't it all have three before?"

"Yes! Yes, this year's competition is harder than ever!!"

Zhou Bo listened casually, and found that they were all talking about the content of this game, mostly saying that this time it was much more difficult than the previous competition, at this time, he saw Han Bai waving his hand to the audience, and seeing that the audience was gradually quieting down, he said loudly: "Okay, now the game starts, and the first group of players are invited to appear." ”

Zhou Bo hurriedly looked over curiously, and saw Xin Yuan and Dai Jin at a glance, the two of them were not far away, but they did not communicate with each other, and it seemed that they regarded each other as their imaginary enemies.

And Wei Yue, Long Bai Yu and others appeared in the back, and Zhou Bo found that Wei Yue was looking at his side intentionally or unintentionally, which made Zhou Bo very embarrassed, and quickly looked away.

Soon, the first group was put into a tense competition, and Zhou Bo found that Xin Yuan and that Dai Jin were refining the pills very quickly, especially Dai Jin, who only took half an hour to refine all the pills, while Xin Yuan was a few minutes behind him, and the two of them did not fail when refining these three pills, all of them were a success.

This will naturally lead to more heated discussions among the audience on the field, what Dai Jin will definitely win the championship, how powerful Xin Yuan is, etc., Zhou Bo disagreed, he turned his eyes to Tongqingmen at this time, and found that except for Wei Yue, who had just started refining the third-level pill, the others like Xunyang and Long Bai Yu were about to be refined.

Seeing this, Zhou Bo was also relieved in his heart, it seems that according to this situation, this second round of Tongqingmen will definitely pass safely.

Sure enough, after an hour had passed, Wei Yue happened to have successfully refined the third-level pill, because it was far away, so Zhou Bo didn't know what kind of pill they chose to refine, but now these don't matter, as long as the people from Tongqingmen pass safely.

Zhou Bo looked at An Han in the distance at this time, after seeing Wei Yue pass safely, both of them were very happy, and Zhou Bo also saw more than a dozen men sitting around An Han, scrambling to talk to An Han, but they were all scolded by An Wu on the side, seeing this, Zhou Bo smiled helplessly, it seems that the appeal of this beauty is really extraordinary.

The first group ended smoothly, and in the end, only sixty people passed the competition, and the remaining nearly 100 people were eliminated for various reasons.

Then came the second group debuted, and Zhou Bo was busy looking at the arena with a twelve-point spirit, because the third Shijie Pill Pharmacist Liu Du was about to appear.

Watching the two hundred and one and two hundred and second quickly walk onto the stone platform, Zhou Bo felt a little nervous, although he didn't know who this Liu Duan was, but as long as he wanted to win the championship, he had to defeat this person.

Finally, No. 203 appeared in applause, this is a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young man, wearing a white robe, which makes his figure very straight, but his appearance is very ordinary, even a little sluggish, and his face is covered with pockmarks, which is completely without the bearing of a cultivator, let alone a Shijie Dan pharmacist.

But Zhou Bo didn't dare to underestimate him, because he found that this Liu Duan's eyes were very bright, bright and bottom-out, faintly revealing an extraordinary charm, it could not be owned by ordinary people, he knew that this Liu Dui was deliberately disguised like this, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! Zhou Bo would have done this before.
