Chapter 14: Brother, you are also here to fight the autumn wind
"Well, I know! Then you can announce it on my behalf! The elders of the test have all arrived, and when the competition starts, they will enter the invigilator!" After hearing Cheng Hao's words, Song Lao squinted his eyes and nodded with relief, and then said indifferently.
"Master and nephew obey orders!"
Cheng Hao's hands were folded, held high above his head, and then he turned backwards and came back to the front of the high platform.
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet, and listen to the city lord talk about the rules of this competition!"
"This time, it is still the same as in previous years, it is divided into two links: talisman refining and fighting talismans, and my Spirit Rune Sect will provide contestants with first-order to second-order talisman refining materials!"
"The time limit for refining talismans is two hours! Each person can refine at least two talismans!
Cheng Hao, the city lord on the high platform, only listed a few rules, and the contestants in the ring talked about it; everyone turned their heads to each other, and for a while, the noise actually overshadowed Cheng Hao's voice on the high platform.
"City Lord, why do you want to limit the time we spend refining talismans? You must know that the time for talismans to refine talismans is very long!"
There was a young charmer in the ring, looking up at Cheng Hao on the high platform, he didn't understand why the conditions for winning the tournament were so harsh.
"Hey, I said little doll, don't you want to laugh at the old man to death, so as to replace the old man's qualifications?"
As the young charmer finished speaking, a charmer with a hat and a linen cloak burst into laughter at the table next to him, followed by the sneering of the charmers around him.
"That's it, that's it, at first glance, it's a young chick who is participating in the competition for the first time! Otherwise, how can you not know such a simple truth? If you don't refine enough talismans, even if you pass the first level and the second level of the talisman competition, if you don't have a sufficient number of talismans, what are you doing up there? Shame on you? Haha!"
"Boy, let my brother tell you, dare to come to participate in this Four Elephants Ascension Pavilion Competition, but they are all spell masters on the table!
"I don't know which family worship this brother Tai is? Brother Bucai, but the chief charmer of the Liyang Wang family!" A middle-aged man wearing a plain robe and embroidered with a few plum blossoms on his chest was playing with the animal skin in his hand, when he suddenly heard the voices of several people around him, his heart moved, and he immediately came over.
"Alas, the Liyang Wang family that my brother said, but the Wang family of the Liyang Dart Bureau?" the man's face changed slightly, and he blurted out the name in his impression.
"Exactly!" the middle-aged man raised his head slightly to look at the sky, nodding proudly, and suddenly several people who had been laughing at the young charmer instantly gathered around and stammered the middle-aged man.
Such a picture happened in the entire ring, and the Spirit Rune Sect wanted to use this Four Elephants Ascension Pavilion Conference to win people's hearts, and these contestants also came with the purpose of making contacts.
Don't be stupid, they all know very well in their hearts, the quota has long been occupied by the Gate Sect, even if there are those sect disciples who can fight, it will never be themselves, so it is better to seize the time to touch some materials and make friends with some spell masters from the big family.
Next, whenever someone reports their origins, if it is the worship of the big family, there will immediately be a group of people surrounding them, and as for the slow ones, they will sour and despise these people, and then immediately poke their heads around looking for new big people, so that they can go up to meet each other as soon as possible.
These contestants are scattered around, and the contestants who make connections are quite good, and the most exaggerated thing is that a group of scattered charmers who actually steal materials in the name of participating are also fishing in troubled waters.
They took advantage of the chaos of the crowd to touch each other one by one, and if they met people with the same purpose, they looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Then the two said cordially: "Brother Tai, you ...... You're here to borrow the autumn breeze?", and then they went in a different direction and continued to fish.
As we all know, talismans are very material-intensive to refine talismans, so in addition to the big sects, only some powerful families can afford to raise one or two talismans, and in the case of extremely scarce resources, it is bound to value the talent and class of the talisman.
Otherwise, if you give a lot of materials to a newcomer who has just refined talismans, I am afraid that you will not be able to refine a talisman even if you lose all of them; on the contrary, a high-level talisman master can at least refine one or two talismans or even more for you.
Therefore, the higher the rank of the spell master, the more likely it is to be favored, and under this vicious circle, those low-level scattered spell masters set their sights on the Four Elephants Ascension Pavilion Conference.
......
Cheng Hao on the high platform, frowned, his eyes scanned the chaotic crowd below, and a trace of irritability couldn't help but rise in his heart, it was a repeat situation every year, which was really unpleasant.
"Silence!"
Cheng Hao shouted angrily again, waved his hand and sent a team of guards to the ring to maintain order, and everyone in the ring immediately stopped when they saw this, and each returned to their small table of refining talismans.
"There are materials for refining talismans on your table, both first-order and second-order, as for how to distinguish them, it depends on your eyes! In the end, the first 100 meters can be shortlisted for the final of the first level!"
"In the finals, you will have to compete with the twenty disciples of the Spirit Rune Sect and the Beast Rune Sect!"
At this time, the young spell master who participated in the competition for the first time shouted, but in the eyes of the fools around him, his voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he simply lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Now it's official!"
After Cheng Hao finished the last sentence, he turned around and strode back to the side of the case with his hands behind his back, sat down cross-legged, and began to chat with the other three people next to the case.
As Cheng Hao's last words fell, the crowd in the audience dispersed into a passage, and out of it came more than twenty old men in white robes, these old men walked into the ring, scattered around the participating spell masters, and then sat on their referee chairs, directly closed their eyes and practiced.
The contestants in the ring, after seeing these white-robed old men take their seats, lowered their heads and prepared to check the materials on the table, which caused a wave of chaos in the arena.
"Damn, why don't I have enough materials?" this is a roar of anger after glancing at someone else's table and comparing it with his own.
"I'll go, you're okay, I've even stolen all the hides!" another man cursed.
"Those damn tailwindmen are here again! Tell me honestly and get my stuff out!"
The people around him quickly shook their heads, flatly denying that they had stolen the other party's materials, and the man didn't believe it, and was really about to force his move, and the guards on the edge of the ring lined up, and suddenly two guards in silver-white armor walked out.
He walked straight towards the charmer who was about to make trouble, and the charmer was crying and dragged out by the arms of the two men.
