readx;?? Ling Tianyin said angrily: "Girl's family, what kind of body did you stumble into? Apologize to the master quickly!"

When she saw that the person who was hit was Fazang, the girl's eyes widened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But she was not afraid in the slightest, and said with a smile while bowing: "Master Fazang, I'm sorry!"

Fazang smiled, unimpressed.

Ling Tianyin scolded: "Why are you, your senior sister?"

"This ......" the girl hesitated, and after a while, she said, "Hmm...... Senior Sister Lingyi went to retreat and cultivate, and I stood guard for her...... Yes, that's it!"

Ling Tianyin patted the pedestal and said loudly: "What kind of cultivation is cultivating, you must have gone somewhere to mess around again." If you don't do your job all day long, I'll be angry with you sooner or later!"

The girl stuck out her tongue and threw a look of help at Fazo, but Fazang returned her with a helpless expression.

Ling Tianyin calmed down for a moment and said solemnly: "Allure, I have an important task, your senior sister is not here, I will leave it to you." ”

Lingcheng listened.

Ling Tianyin asked, "Do you remember that kid you met in the Black Swamp Forest?"

Lingcheng nodded.

Ling Tianyin continued: "Okay, then you can find him and convince him to participate in the National Alchemist Competition to be held in Tianfu City next month, and make sure that he enters the top three......

Ling Chengqi said: "It's that simple, then I'll go immediately, if he doesn't participate, I'll beat him hard!"

After restoring the strength of the fifth level of the Heavenly Xuan Realm, Lingcheng was full of confidence.

Unexpectedly, Ling Tianyin reprimanded: "Don't come nonsense, you are impatient, listen to me finish speaking." ”

Lingcheng didn't dare to speak. Ling Tianyin rubbed his forehead helplessly, and said, "Master Fazang, let's bother you to explain, I'm afraid that if I continue to talk to this rebel, I can't help but slap her to death." ”

Ling Chengcheng lowered his head and grimaced, so angry that Ling Tianyin almost went off.

Fazang hurriedly said, "Doesn't that little guy want to revive the soul crystal Xuanzhi? you tell him......" Fazang explained the plan in detail.

At the end, Ling Tianyin added, "You must show that in order to facilitate this matter, we Lingyun Pavilion have made great efforts behind our backs, but we can't make it too obvious, lest he think we are snobbish." ”

Ling Chengcheng said: "Master, although that kid is a three-star junior alchemist, there are also many young talents in the empire, such as Qi Buchen of the Shamanic Sect, Huang Qingshuang of the Imperial Family, Shen Lin of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, Yi Yun of the Heavenly Swords, and Senior Sister Ling Yanran of our Lingyun Pavilion, all of whom are no worse than that kid." They should all come to participate in this competition, and that kid still has a chance to enter the top eight, but the top three probably can't, right?"

Fazang said: "You can rest assured at this point, Lingyun Pavilion will fully support him and ensure that he gets the top three rankings." ”

The Alchemist Contest is nothing more than three basic things, namely alchemy, refining, and fighting. There is nothing to say about the fighting method, it all depends on its own strength, but refining medicine and refining weapons consumes a lot of materials. The conference only provides three copies of the materials required for the competition, if you feel that it is not safe, you are allowed to bring your own excess materials, as long as the finished product is refined within the specified time.

Such a rule seems reasonable, but in fact, it sets a threshold for those contestants who are not qualified.

No alchemist can guarantee success once or a few times when refining items, not to mention that this kind of competition also has a set time. Especially in the later stages of the competition, in order to distinguish the winner from the loser, it will inevitably become more and more difficult to refine things, and the materials used will become more and more valuable, and three parts are obviously not enough.

Players who have the ability to bring their own materials can try more times, and the probability of success is naturally far higher than others.

There is no shortage of genius anywhere, what is lacking is the soil for cultivating genius. The study of alchemy costs countless materials, and this is not something that ordinary forces can afford. That's why alchemists are so scarce, so they are called "nobles of nobles" and have an indisputable honorable status on the mainland.

Fazang said that he would support Han Chen with all the supplies he needed for the competition.

At this time, Ling Chengcheng was dissatisfied, and she said loudly: "Master, how can that kid be so good, you want to be so good to him?"

Ling Tianyin was a little annoyed, rubbed the corners of his eyebrows and said, "Use your brain to think about it, if you don't understand, just do it." ”

Ling Chengcheng pursed his lips and whispered: "Hmph, you should use your brain to think about it when you put so much effort into an outsider, but you are fierce to us!"

Ling Tianyin was furious: "What are you talking about......"

Without waiting for Ling Tianyin to go crazy, Ling Tiancheng ran out, and her slightly anxious voice came from outside the door: "This matter will be handed over to me, I must do better than Senior Sister!"

Ling Tianyin's roar reached her ear: "If you mess up, see if I don't pick your skin!"

Lingcheng was frightened and trembled, and his steps were faster......

The ancient road paved with bluestone slabs is wide and smooth, and on both sides of the ancient road, there are endless pastures and farmlands.

After entering the boundary of Tianfu City, the number of chariots and horses began to increase. Within a radius of 100 miles, there were already a large number of city guards patrolling. This is a safe area, and Han Chen and his party finally relaxed their vigilance.

Looking at the magnanimous aisle, Han Chen couldn't help but admire: it is worthy of being the richest city in the empire, and even the main road hundreds of miles outside the city has been carefully retouched. With the money to build the road alone, a remote town like Luojia City can't get it.

Shi Bing gushed endlessly to Han Chen about the customs of Tianfu City.

Geographically, Tianfu City is located in the center of the empire, and the transportation can be described as extending in all directions. As the most important hub city of the empire, trade here is extremely developed, and almost all kinds of elixirs, fighting weapons, and rare treasures that are difficult to see elsewhere can be found here. The major powers of the country have also established branches here. And some influential second- and third-tier forces have even set their headquarters here.

That is to say, in addition to being an economic center, Tianfu City is also the place where the empire's many forces are most concentrated.

Different from the rigorous atmosphere of the imperial city and the pious environment of the shamanic holy city, the people of Tianfu City are open, there is no unified value standard, and there are many various forces, so the competition here is even worse than in other places.

"My lord, are you really not going to participate in the Alchemist Competition?" Shi Meilan stared at Han Chen who was looking out the car window, her face expectant.

Han Chen shook his head: "I also want to meet the young masters of the empire, but I still have important things to do, and I can't delay." ”

Shi Hao said regretfully: "It's a pity, adults are so powerful, entering the top eight is a matter of hand, how glorious is this achievement? ”

Mu Lao on the side sneered and said, "What grade do you have? If you really get the light of an adult, the adult will be disgraced." ”

Shi Bing said angrily: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

Between the two arguing, the car stopped.

The voice of the guard came from outside the car door: "Lord Steward, we have arrived at the gate." ”

Han Chen looked over and saw a low stone wall a hundred meters ahead. There were six gates in the stone wall, through which all the chariots and horses passing by had to enter and exit.

Outside each gate, there is a team of city guards, whether it is a pedestrian or a caravan, they must pass through them.

The so-called inspection is just a formality, and the role of this pass is mainly used to control traffic.

The Shijia caravan was too large, and the city guards guided it to a dedicated business lane. The place where this road leads is the Tianfu City Commercial Circulation Field, and if you want to enter the main city, you have to take other routes.

Han Chen originally wanted to part ways with the Shi family and go to the Tianfu City Teleportation Station, but after learning that he was not familiar with the situation in the city, Shi Hao took the initiative to ask Ying to be Han Chen's guide.

Shi Meilan also followed, and she had to go to the Alchemist Guild to sign up first. And Shi Bing and his party led the convoy to trade. There is Mu Lao, who is a good person, Shi Hao believes that this business will do better than himself.

The capital of abundance is really magnificent, and when the rows of buildings with different shapes came into Han Chen's eyes, Han Chen was really shocked.

Tianfu City has no city walls, and the large and small roads in and out are no longer guarded by any personnel except for the distant passes, which shows the degree of freedom here.

The streets here are several times wider than the main road of Luojia City, and the flow of shops is even denser, Han Chen and Shi Meilan are both coming for the first time, the two of them look left and right, amazed again and again, like a pair of turtles who have just entered the city.

Tianfu City is too big, and the thirty Luojia Cities can't compare to it, and Han Chen and the others can't rely on walking. A city car was hired, and the three of them went straight to the north of the city teleportation.

The car was passing through the market, the road was not wide, and there were crowds on both sides, and the speed of the three of them naturally slowed down.

Two strangers mixed in the flow of people, like ordinary people, flashed in front of the three of them. Han Chen and Shi Meilan didn't feel anything wrong, but when they saw these two people, Shi Hao's face suddenly sank.

"You ...... Stop!" Shi Hao suddenly jumped out of the car and stood in front of the two strangers. The sudden action surprised Han Chen and Shi Meilan.

"Who is Your Excellency?" the pair of strangers looked Shi Hao up and down, but they were not afraid.

Shi Hao sneered: "Brother Fang Mao is really a noble person who forgets things, I haven't seen you for a few days, you don't remember me." Shi Hao, the head of the Xia Shi family!"

Hearing Shi Hao's self-report, the person named Fang Mao showed a sudden expression of enlightenment, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Mr. Shi Hao from Shizhu Town, I didn't expect to see you in Tianfu City, I will be lucky." ”

Han Chen and Shi Meilan walked to Shi Hao's side, Shi Meilan looked at Fang Mao and asked, "Uncle Shi, who is this?"

Shi Hao said: "He is the liar who persuaded us to transport half of our property to Tianfu City. ”

Shi Meilan's brows furrowed, and Han Chen also lowered his face.

Fang Mao still had a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Shi's words are a little hurtful, I will build a bridge and thread for your Shi family, and do business with the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, which can be regarded as pulling your Shi family along." I don't want your commission, and I don't ask for anything in return, how can you say I'm a liar?"
