"After you're done here, it's better to go back early!" Although Lei Lao's health is very good, but the years are unforgiving, and when he gets older, his walking speed has slowed down a lot.

Chen Yang walked patiently beside Lei Lao, and after hearing Lei Lao's words, he felt very sorry, but he didn't ask, but asked Lei Lao with his eyes, and motioned for him to continue.

In fact, the reason why Lei Lao came to the capital to meet Zuo Zhi was only secondary, and the most important thing was to communicate with Chen Yang face-to-face.

"He Houhua has not been idle during this time, he is mainly recovering land, and the land he bought is a very remote place, and it is basically a mountain as soon as he buys it!"

Oh?

After hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help frowning, he really didn't understand.

"The two pieces of land he bought, I went to see it in person, are basically barren mountains, and the mountains are very high and large, which are completely unsuitable for the development and construction of any project. ”

"Such a place, for the government, is a worthless wasteland, will not bring any income, and He Houhua happens to be willing to pay a high price to buy it, in the eyes of the government, this is simply a pie in the sky good thing, why not!"

After saying this, Chen Yang and Lei Lao both fell silent, and after a full few dozen seconds, Chen Yang suddenly raised his head, "Could the places he bought be the places that Lin Longchang said were suspected of being sealed?"

"That's what I thought, too. ”

The speculations of the two people coincide, which further illustrates the seriousness of the matter.

They all knew very well that once the so-called seal was truly broken and the earth was filled with true qi, then all the tranquility and peace here would be broken, and it would become a paradise for cultivators.

When a large number of cultivators arrive, the unarmed ordinary people will either be killed by these cultivators who advocate martial arts, or they will become their slaves!

No one wants to encounter such a picture.

However, this crisis is so close to them, but the only people who can stop this from happening are Chen Yang and Lei Lao.

"Lei Lao, I'll go back after I'm done dealing with things here, He Houhua's side, I'll trouble you. ”

Here in the capital, Chen Yang really can't leave, the Murong family is still very dangerous, he has to help them tide over the difficulties, after all, they have become like this, it is also because of themselves, "As long as there is a situation over there, I will rush back immediately!"

"No problem, don't worry too much, you can handle the affairs of the capital well, Lin Cheng's side, they will not act easily for the time being, it is said that Lin Longchang has come to the capital, it is estimated that he wants to protect the Wu family, he is here, his senior brother must also be there, you must be more careful." ”

Chen Yang and Lei Lao chatted until late at night.

Lei Lao returned to the hotel that had already been booked, and Chen Yang considered that he would go to the Elixir Pavilion tomorrow morning to participate in the competition, so he did not go back to Murong's house, but followed Lei Lao to his residence.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, even if he just slept on the sofa, Chen Yang quickly fell asleep.

And I didn't wake up until after eight o'clock the next morning.

When Chen Yang woke up and looked at the time, his eyes, which were originally sleepy, suddenly widened round, and he was completely sleepy.

I overslept!

"Why didn't the alarm go off!" Chen Yang muttered as he rushed to the bathroom to wash.

"It's ringing, I saw that you didn't respond, so I helped you turn off the alarm, you are too stressed, too tired, it's time to take a good rest......" Lei Lao, who was packing his luggage, said very calmly.

“……”

At this moment, Chen Yang is completely messy, and there are thousands of grass and mud horses running wild in his heart.

However, he didn't say anything, and after washing up, he hurried towards the Elixir Pavilion as fast as he could, and he had to participate in this competition no matter what.

At this time, on the square of the Elixir Pavilion, there were more than a dozen alchemy furnaces neatly placed, and all the disciples were standing neatly in front of the alchemy furnaces, while the pavilion master Song Lao, as well as the leaders in the pavilion, were sitting on the rostrum in front of these people.

The annual alchemy competition is about to start, this is the moment that many people dream of, if you have a good performance in the alchemy competition, you will have the opportunity to become a disciple of the elder or even the deputy pavilion master, at that time, the resources enjoyed are completely different.

Some people expect, and there are also people who are worried, those disciples who do not study hard and are not talented enough are very worried about being eliminated.

Originally, they weren't very worried, after all, they knew that there was a person who couldn't even control the flames, and that person would definitely be eliminated.

But until this time, they didn't see Chen Yang's figure, which made them worry again, should this person not participate in this competition?

More than a dozen disciples who were all likely to be eliminated couldn't help but whisper.

Song Lao, who was sitting on the rostrum, also looked in the crowd, and did not see Chen Yang, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

This kid finally has a little self-knowledge, alchemy is not as simple as he imagined, it is better not to participate in the competition, otherwise he will be eliminated, and it will be embarrassing.

"Quiet and quiet, what are you talking about?" Song Lao slapped the table and shouted loudly.

"Pavilion Master, we found out that there is still one person who has not come, can the competition be postponed until that new disciple comes?"

One of the disciples was completely out of the way, and responded with a hard head.

Song Lao's wrinkled face was not very good-looking, and for him, this was simply a problem.

He didn't even know how to respond.

"That disciple has just arrived at the Elixir Pavilion for three days, so he will not participate in this alchemy competition. ”

"According to the rules, doesn't it mean that all disciples have to participate in the competition? Why did they change their hexagram this time?"

"Yes, could it be that person is a relative of Song Lao?"

"I finally understand now, no matter how hard you work and how talented you are, you can't afford to have a relationship in your family, it's really unfair!"

Song Lao's answer caused a lot of dissatisfaction, although they were just talking about it one after another, but every word, Song Lao could hear it clearly.

If there were only one or two people talking, he could have shut them up very strongly, but now the situation is that almost everyone is talking, which makes him a little unable to get off the stage.

Just when he was in a dilemma and had a headache, Chen Yang's voice rang out, "Who said I won't participate in the competition?

After hearing Chen Yang's voice, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Chen Yang ignored all eyes and stood directly at the back of the crowd.

Seeing that after Chen Yang came, those disciples who had very poor alchemy skills and could be eliminated at any time, they breathed a sigh of relief, raised their hands and patted their chests gently, in their opinion, it was impossible for them to be eliminated this year, even if they were bad, it was impossible to lose to a Chen Yang who couldn't even control the heat.

"This kid is very draggy, isn't it very powerful?" asked one of the disciples.

"Pull it down, he's the one who was still in the alchemy room two days ago pondering how to control the heat. ”

"It's him! Isn't this waste? Where did you get the confidence to be so arrogant?"

"Whatever! If he wants to be arrogant, let him be arrogant, and when the game is over and he slaps his ass and leaves, I see if he will cry!"

Chen Yang's appearance did get rid of Song Lao's embarrassing situation, but his expression was extremely unnatural, he didn't expect Chen Yang to come, he didn't have to think about it, he would definitely lose.

No matter how good his talent is, in just three days, there will be no miracle.

Alas......

Elder Song sighed and shook his head lightly before announcing the start of the alchemy competition.

All the disciples are divided into ten groups, and the elixirs refined by each person are scored by the alchemists, and when the ten groups of competitions are over, the person with the lowest score will be eliminated and leave the Elixir Pavilion.

Chen Yang was placed in the last group.

With his appearance, everyone has no pressure, because the eliminated places have been booked.

No matter how bad these people are, they can at least refine the pill, as for Chen Yang, two or three days ago, even the size of the fire could not be controlled well, let alone alchemy.

Later, in the limited competition time, he can burn the fire in the alchemy furnace, thank God!

As for alchemy? whimsical!
