"Everyone, welcome to the Absolute Sword City and participate in the annual Danwang Festival, I am Sun Da, the city lord of this city." On the stage, Sun Da, the lord of the Absolute Sword City, stood up and made an opening remark, "I believe everyone is no stranger to the Danwang Competition, the purpose of this competition is to screen out the top alchemists, this is an honor and a responsibility......

Here, on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, I would like to pay tribute to the alchemists who came to participate in the competition, and wish you all the best results. As the organizer of this competition, the City Lord's Mansion has specially prepared corresponding prizes, the top three can obtain the qualification to view the Ancient Danfang, in addition, the third place will receive 3,000 medium-grade spirit stones, the second place 5,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and the first place 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones! ”

With Sun Da's narration, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became hot, and the uproar came one after another, and Zhang Yunfan was the same, and the whole person was stunned.

The attraction of the Ancient Danfang to Zhang Yunfan was not so great, because there were not many Ancient Dan Fangs in the Divine Dragon Inheritance, and anyone who saw these Dan Fangs would be numb to it, and what really attracted him was the massive amount of spirit stones. During this time in Canglu Academy, Zhang Yunfan had no concept of other things, and he really had a thorough understanding of spirit stones.

In this other world, spirit stones are the most basic currency, whoever has enough spirit stones can get more cultivation resources and live a chic life, this is Zhang Yunfan's most intuitive perception.

In addition to the mission of money, the spirit stone is also a consumable, and the monk can cultivate through the spirit stone, and the higher the quality of the spirit stone, the stronger the spiritual power contained in it. However, it is not easy to mine spirit stones, and the number of high-quality spirit stones is scarce, just like rare gems on the earth, and rare is expensive.

For this Danwang Competition, the City Lord's Mansion actually took out tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones as a reward, which made Zhang Yunfan extremely surprised, and he couldn't help but think, "Is the Absolute Sword City really so rich?" It's tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones at every turn, and it's too fucking rich! ”

couldn't help but think so, even Luo Hongyue was stunned, and her pretty face was full of surprise. She asked Luo Ying, "Father, is the city lord wrong, or did I hear it wrong, is it really a medium-grade spirit stone?" ”

Luo Ying sighed: "You heard it right, it is indeed a medium-grade spirit stone, but this spirit stone is not from the city lord's mansion, but provided by someone from the Great Wilderness City." The Great Wilderness City is so rich that oil is flowing everywhere, and in the eyes of those big families, tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones are simply insignificant......"

The reactions of the onlookers were similar, and the discussions were endless, and almost all the people standing near Zhang Yunfan were mercenaries from the Luo family, and these people also had heated discussions and even fantasies......

"Alchemist is really a good profession, if I can become an alchemist, I will get rich overnight if I get these spirit stones."

"Shit, is an alchemist so easy to be? Even if you have a fire wood attribute immortal root, if you really become an alchemist, you may not be able to win the championship, that requires strength, do you have it? ”

"yes, do you have one? Hahaha......"

Several people laughed halfway through the argument, and at first Zhang Yunfan also followed for a while, but gradually, some associations arose in his mind, and the smile dissipated.

So far, he can be sure of one thing, the top three medium-grade spirit stone rewards have reached 18,000 yuan together, this spirit stone is definitely a lot of wealth no matter where it is placed, but the people of the Great Wilderness City have generously taken out such a large amount of money, Zhang Yunfan has a hunch, feeling that after the end of the competition, the City Lord's Mansion will let the alchemist who won the championship do something dangerous......

Thinking of these, Zhang Yunfan couldn't calm down anymore, turned his head and asked Luo Ying, "Luo family master, may I ask how many spirit stones were the rewards of the Danwang Competition in previous years?" ”

"Ah...... Spirit Stone ...... Oh......" Luo Ying's eyes were still a little straight, and it took a while for him to ease up, "In previous years, the highest reward in the Danwang Competition was fifty medium-grade spirit stones, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and two hundred medium-grade spirit stones, which together did not exceed four hundred, and this year, it was tens of thousands of yuan, and my Luo family's family only had so much." ”

With the comparative answer, Zhang Yunfan felt more and more that something was wrong, and he always felt that something would happen after this competition......

"Next, the participating alchemists are invited to enter the arena and choose their respective positions for the first round of competition." City Lord Sun Da announced.

There was a commotion in the audience next to him, and many people stood up, these people were dressed very dusty, and as soon as they stood up, they looked very different.

"Please, Master Zhang!" Luo Ying bowed his hand.

Although Zhang Yunfan had a bad premonition, since he had already promised others, it was not good to break the contract halfway, that would be too immoral, because the game had already started, and the Luo family had no time to find someone temporarily, so they could only withdraw from the game, and it was possible to become a joke in Sword City.

Considering this series of reasons, Zhang Yunfan nodded, nothing more, turned around and walked towards the arena, everyone entered the arena in two rows on the left and right in order, and each selected a position to sit down.

Zhang Yunfan's position is not too far forward, barely the middle part.

Came to the stone platform and sat down cross-legged, glanced at the platform, in front of it was a Dan furnace about two feet high, a row of medicinal herbs were piled up on the ground on the side of the furnace, and a number "nineteen" was engraved on the corner of the stone platform.

When everyone sat down, there were guards registering their identity information one by one, Zhang Yunfan sat half-squinting, his posture standing still like a bell, until the guards came to him and asked politely, "Master, please tell me your name, so that we can register." ”

Zhang Yunfan opened his eyes and replied, "Zhang Xuan." ”

The guard then wrote his name and the number of the stone platform, and then wished: "Master, I wish you the laurels and farewell!" "Finish walking towards the next stone platform.

It didn't take long to get through the work, but it took a few moments to register the name. On the platform, the city lord Sun Da took a large hourglass from the guard, took it in his hand and raised it: "It takes three incense sticks to finish this hourglass, during which you must refine the herbs on the stone platform into pills, and the top thirty masters will advance to the second level." ”

"Now I announce that this Dan King Tournament has officially begun!"

After the words fell, Sun Da slowly walked to the stone table in front of the Dianjiang platform, flipped the hourglass and buckled it upside down on the stone table, and then walked back.

Hourglass sand leaking downward...... The competition has officially begun.

When he came to the stage, Zhang Yunfan carefully identified the medicinal materials on the stage, which is a necessary medicinal material for refining Wujin Pill, this kind of elixir mainly plays the role of keeping out the cold, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, the white scorching sun is in the sky, it can heat people to death, and at night it is extremely cold, even a Zen monk can't resist this cold, and Wujin Pill came into being.

Wujin Pill belongs to the second-grade elixir, which is very common in the Great Wilderness Region, and it is a low-level elixir that Zen realm monks must have, but this elixir is very special, and the medicinal materials used are all fire attributes, and inexperienced alchemists often make self-defeating, causing the situation of the fryer to happen unexpectedly.

Therefore, although the Wujin Pill is a second-grade pill, the difficulty of refining is comparable to that of a third-grade pill.

There is only one herb on the stone platform, and if the refining fails, it means that you are eliminated. Zhang Yunfan had never refined the Wujin Pill before, and he had no experience at all, so he was inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Alas...... It's still too little experience, and if the refining fails, it's over! Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly lamented that he was not experienced enough, which corresponds to an old saying - when books are used, they hate less. The same is true for alchemy, experience is accumulated little by little, every pill has to be tried, accumulated over many years, and naturally it can be refined into an elixir of outstanding quality.

Just as Zhang Yunfan was in a reverie, the alchemist next to him had already opened the furnace for alchemy, he glanced around, and suddenly came up with a solution.

Among all the alchemists present, Zhang Yunfan is not the oldest, nor is he the most experienced, and he is still a halfway monk, and he has only been in contact with the profession of alchemist for less than a month.

But if a person has a short, he must have a long, Zhang Yunfan's strength is that his divine sense is strong enough, and there are many wonderful uses of divine consciousness, such as spying on others, which is incomparable to others. He was confident in the strength of his divine sense, and he was not afraid of being detected by others. Thinking of this, he opened the sea of consciousness, and his divine sense gushed out.

The divine sense spread, enveloping all the Dan furnaces within three zhang of the vicinity, and then Zhang Yunfan began to meditate and comprehend the situation in the other people's Dan furnaces......

The fine sand in the hourglass slipped down, and time passed minute by minute, and the whole arena was a hot scene, only Zhang Yunfan became an exception, which gradually attracted the attention of others, and then became the focus of the audience, and even a joke.

"Yue, what's going on with Master Zhang, why don't you move?" In the audience, Luo Ying frowned and looked at Zhang Yunfan, who was sitting motionless, and had strong doubts in his heart.

Luo Hongyue frowned and said, "I don't know, doesn't he know the rules of the game?" ”

Luo Ying shook his head, "Impossible, I have already explained it to him before starting, how could I not know?" Could it be ......" Because he didn't know Zhang Yunfan, he had a bad thought in his heart, but he didn't come out.

Someone next to him suddenly had the idea that Luo Ying held back in his heart, "Old Luo, this alchemist invited by your family seems to be an imposter who is indiscriminate, you look at him like that, sitting there motionless, obviously not alchemy, hahaha......"

The person who spoke was the leader of another mercenary group in Absolute Sword City, the Blood Eagle Mercenary Group, Blood Eagle. This person is a leader in the field of mercenaries, and he started at the same time as the wolf warrior mercenary group under the name of the Luo family, but the ruler is long and short, and it is not new for two people in the same industry to have different destinies.

Over the years, the Luo family has accumulated a lot of wealth with the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, and under Luo Ying's decision, the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce was established, which made the Luo family reborn and surpassed the Blood Eagle Mercenary Group in one fell swoop, becoming a leader in Absolute Sword City.

Once because of the rise of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, the Blood Eagle Mercenary Group almost closed down for a time, which made Blood Eagle always hold a grudge, but he is not a fool who can only be angry, after reacting, he immediately established the Blood Eagle Chamber of Commerce to form a confrontation situation with the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce.

Just doing business is the same as playing chess, a bad move will lead to a passive situation, because the Luojia Chamber of Commerce was established earlier, so it has the advantage, plus the management is well-managed, there is no chance for competitors to take advantage of, and the source of customers is far more than the Blood Eagle Chamber of Commerce, so the Blood Eagle Chamber of Commerce has been suppressed, and for so many years, it has always been out of breath.
