"Master Zhang, you have worked hard, please take a seat!" Seeing Zhang Yunfan's true skills, Luo Ying was particularly attentive, and personally swept the empty seat, and almost helped Zhang Yunfan to sit down.

"Master Luo, you don't have to be so polite, since I promised you, I will never break my word." Zhang Yunfan gave Luo Ying a reassurance.

"What do you say, how can I not trust the master?" Luo Ying's mouth was like this, but his expression gradually became excited, it can be seen that he was still worried just now, until Zhang Yunfan made a guarantee, and the big stone hanging in his heart fell, "Don't worry, as long as you can get the top three, I will not take a penny from the Luo family, the reward is all yours, and I will prepare a big gift for you to express my gratitude." ”

This Danwang Tournament is related to the Luo family's future influence in Absolute Sword City, and if the results are not satisfactory, it will definitely be a huge blow to the family business.

Luo Ying clearly understands these problems, so he is so generous, the purpose is to fight, if Zhang Yunfan performs well and wins the helmet, the return brought to the Luo family is definitely worth the money compared to what he has paid now.

The two sides were polite, each showed their attitudes and positions, and the time passed slowly little by little, until the last pinched of the hourglass was exhausted, and the city lord Sun Da got up and announced, "It's time for the game, please present the elixir you have refined." ”

There were people in the field who kept standing up and walking quickly towards the Dianjiangtai, scrambling to send the pills up, wanting to compete for the top 30 places......

In addition, there are some people who are relatively slow, and they have not been able to become a pill until the specified time, these people have maintained a unanimous tacit understanding, and have not given up alchemy, but are persistent, they do this, not entirely because they are unwilling, the main reason is because there is an unwritten rule between alchemists.

The rules are as follows: If you fail to become a pill within the specified time in a competition or in a private fight, the alchemist must not take the initiative to give up the pill in the furnace, and the opponent cannot deliberately interfere.

The main purpose of this regulation is to protect the elixir, because in the eyes of alchemists, every herb is a gift from the heavens, and it is not easy to obtain, and artificially destroying the herbs is an extremely bad behavior and disrespect for the Tao, and protecting the herbs is a necessary moral code for every alchemist.

There are many similar unwritten rules in the alchemy world, such as "keeping one hand" when collecting medicines, and not even immature herbs, except for transplanting.

The alchemists who handed in the pills were all scattered to the audience to rest and wait for the results, while the alchemists who had not completed the alchemy task were still busy, and no one dared to disturb them. On the stage, the city lord Sun Dazheng led a group of respected old-timers in the city to identify the pills, which touched the hearts and souls of everyone in the audience.

After about half a pillar of incense, all the pills were firm, and the city lord Sun Da stood up and announced, "After the appraisal just now, there are a total of sixty bottles of pills, of which five bottles are defective, and the alchemists corresponding to these five bottles of pills are No. 10, No. 23, No. 55, No. 58, and No. 60!"

According to the regulations, the top thirty alchemists will be shortlisted in the first round, therefore, the contestants on the tenth and twenty-third will be eliminated from the competition, and I hope you will continue to work hard and strive for good results next year. Now I announce that the shortlisted for the second round are the 32nd, 31st ......"

Sun Da is obviously selling Guanzi and deliberately announcing the shortlisted numbers backwards, as for what his purpose, it is unknown.

It wasn't until the announcement of the third that Sun Da's voice suddenly stopped, and he looked around the audience with a smile: "This year's Danwang Competition has just begun to surprise me, among the thirty alchemists shortlisted, two of them are extremely outstanding, they are the eighteenth alchemist Dan Qiusheng and the nineteenth alchemist Zhang Xuan.

According to the records, the two of them were the first two of all the people present to become pills, and the quality of the pills was very unexpected, among them, the Wujin Pill refined by Danqiu Sheng reached the second-grade high-grade, which exceeded the original second-grade intermediate pill of the Wujin Pill, which can be described as a miracle in the alchemy world. ”

Listening to the words of the city lord Sun Da, the audience was in an uproar, and the blood eagle, as a contestant, showed a smug smile. He looked at Luo Ying's father and daughter and smiled: "Old Luo, did you hear it, it has reached the second-grade level, do you know what it means?" ”

Because Zhang Yunfan was the first to complete the task, which made the Luo family raise his eyebrows, Luo Ying was originally very happy, but now he was so squeezed by the blood eagle that he was extremely depressed, but he didn't get angry, he endured his anger and pretended to smile and congratulated: "Master Dan Qiusheng lives up to the reputation of Danxin Pavilion, and the head of the Blood Eagle can invite him to the right person, I, Luo, am here to congratulate." ”

Zhang Yunfan sat next to him, ignoring the Blood Eagle, his gaze crossed Dan Qiusheng's face, and there was a faint smile in his eyes. Sensing being watched, Dan Qiusheng turned his head to look at him, and looked at Zhang Yunfan, he also didn't say anything, he was not complacent because he had refined a second-grade high-grade Wujin pill, and his mentality was very peaceful, which was in stark contrast to the constantly noisy Blood Eagle.

At this moment, Sun Da on the stage changed his words and said: "The performance of the eighteenth alchemist Dan Qiusheng has already maximized the medicinal effect of the Wujin Pill, but here, I can tell you very responsibly that there is another person whose performance is more dazzling than that of Dan Qiusheng, and the Wujin Pill he has refined can be said to have reached the peak level, reaching the third-grade primary!" ”

As soon as Sun Da's words came out, the entire arena was boiling, and they all began to discuss fiercely who the nineteenth was and who Zhang Xuan was......

"This ......" Luo Ying, who was extremely disappointed, was stunned after hearing these words, looked at Zhang Yunfan in a daze, and then looked at her daughter again, "Yue, did you hear me right?" Is the Lord of Sun City Master Zhang? ”

Luo Hongyue was stunned on the spot, nodded with difficulty, and swallowed: "If City Lord Sun is right, it should be Master Zhang." After that, she looked at the back of Zhang Yunfan, who was sitting in front, and her eyes were full of complexity.

"Hahaha......" Luo Ying suddenly laughed, laughing more proudly than the previous Blood Eagle, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, he turned his head sideways and said, "Leader of the Blood Eagle, I'm really embarrassed, I am very surprised when you look at this trouble!" ”

Blood Eagle was still triumphant a second ago, but at this moment his mood fell to a low point, as if he was stimulated by Luo Ying's words, and said angrily: "The game has only been played in the first game, and there is still a long one in the back, the one who laughs last is the winner, I am too happy too early, and there will be no place to cry later." ”

Compared with the self-cultivation shown by Luo Ying before, Blood Eagle is obviously inferior, and whether it is sincere or not, people have sent blessings, but Blood Eagle seems to be family-like, and he can't see that others are stronger than him, in addition to being disappointed, there are all kinds of unwillingness.

"These words are sour, Captain Blood Eagle, shouldn't you be sulking" Luo Ying lost no time in provoking people's nerves.

"Lao Tzu is sour, what's the matter? If you're not convinced, then we'll see, and see who wins in the next round! Blood Eagle's joys, sorrows, and sorrows were all written on his face, and in order to be angry, he turned his head to Dan Qiusheng, "Master, I am a straightforward person, I will tell you that as long as you can win Zhang Xuan, I will add you a thousand pieces of medium-grade spirit stones." ”

Hearing this, Dan Qiusheng was directly stunned, a thousand medium-grade spirit stones is not a amount, no matter where it is placed, it is a huge amount of money, although it is not comparable to the reward of tens of thousands of spirit stones in the Dan King Competition, but no one will be afraid of the money, and Dan Qiusheng is the same.

"I do my best." Dan Qiusheng replied, his tone was very flat, and he had no confidence.

The father and daughter of the Luo family and Zhang Yunfan were all taken aback, and they looked at the blood eagle as if they were looking at fools, and then looked at each other speechlessly.

Not to be outdone, Luo Ying said: "Master Zhang, you can play normally later, no matter whether you win or lose, my Luo family will definitely present two thousand medium-grade spirit stones with both hands, which can be regarded as a token of gratitude." ”

Obviously, Luo Ying was fighting against the blood eagle and deliberately using words to provoke people's nerves, but Zhang Yunfan, as one of the parties involved, was not surprised by this matter, because Luo Ying had promised to give him a generous thank you when he met him before, but at that time, the words were ambiguous and did not give anything specific, but now it is just clear that the matter is clear, and it is determined that it is for the spirit stone.

"Do your best!" Zhang Yunfan didn't amplify his words, he was also very humble, but the more stable he was, the heavier the mental pressure on Blood Eagle.

At this point in the conversation between the two sides, they had rested enough, and Sun Da immediately announced: "Next, I invite the alchemists who were shortlisted just now to enter the arena and conduct the second round of competition." ”

Zhang Yunfan stood up, arched his hand towards the father and daughter of the Luo family, then looked at Dan Qiusheng, looked at him and nodded, there was not much intersection between them, and they walked on the stage one after the other in the spotlight.

After taking the stage, Zhang Yunfan found a front position and sat down, a bunch of medicinal materials had already been rearranged on the stone platform, this time there were a lot of medicinal materials, and the difficulty of the competition also increased, so that the alchemist selected a part of the many medicinal materials and refined them into pills, and finally compared the grade of the pills, and the one with the highest grade won.

"Everyone, put this exactly the same medicinal material in front of you, you only need to pick out a part of it, refine it into an elixir, and finally divide the winners and losers by grade, the time is the same as the previous round, until the hourglass is exhausted, let's start!" Sun Da announced the content of the contest and waved his hand to the guard next to him, who came to the stone table and flipped the hourglass over and buckled it on the stone table.

The hourglass began to tick the floor, and the thirty alchemists who were shortlisted all began to carefully identify the herbs in their hands, while meditating on the pills they could refine. Zhang Yunfan was the same, his eyes glanced at the medicinal materials one by one, every time he picked up a medicinal herb, his mind would have a memory flying, and a piece of Zhang Danfang flashed from his mind, from which the most suitable Danfang was screened......

"It's you." Until a certain moment, Zhang Yunfan's thoughts stayed on a pill called Purple Fire Pill.

According to Zhang Yunfan's observation, there were similarities between the medicinal materials in this round and the previous one, they were all fire-attribute medicinal materials, which made him think about it and couldn't help but think of the matter of the ice lake. The Purple Fire Pill also has the effect of keeping out the cold, but it is also aggressive, the pill can transform the Force or Yuan Qi into purple fire to attack the enemy, and the purple fire is a kind of alien fire that even the monks of the Returning Yuan Realm cannot resist, as long as it is contaminated with a little, the flesh will be burned to ashes in an instant.
