As the citizens of Shengjing City, the capital of Great Xia, they can always see more excitement than the citizens of other ordinary places. Among the many activities and events, especially the treasure contest attracted the attention of Shengjing people the most. Just because this grand event brought together all the most potential disciples in this country, and at the same time, it was the main purpose of everyone to be happy and send the disciples into the four courtyards, so the treasure hunting contest can almost be said to be the grandest event in Shengjing City, and it is a hot topic in the streets and alleys.

And on the 10th day of the first month of September, the atmosphere that had been brewing for a long time finally boiled over the entire city.

Looking down from the sky, Shengjing's Siqu and Eight Streets, the flow of people is like weaving, shoulder to shoulder, forming a scene of thousands of empty alleys, and all the people flow converge in one direction - Shangwu Square in front of the palace in the center of the city!

At this time, it was on the white marble paved Shangwu Square.

A huge openwork pyramid-shaped structure has been erected!

If you look closely, this hollow "pyramid" is actually made up of rings!

What's even more shocking is that there is a beautiful treasure chest placed in each ring!

These chests are different in color and material.

For example, the treasure chests at the bottom of the ring are all made of black iron, which are black iron chests, and gradually go up, there are brass treasure chests, silver treasure chests, and gold treasure chests, all the way to the eighth floor, and the ones placed on the top have become purple gold treasure chests! In the only ring, there was a treasure chest, which was an exaggerated purple gold chest inlaid with various gorgeous gems.

The luxurious purple gold treasure chest shows the unique value of the treasures inside!

As for the tenth floor, it is shrouded in a black curtain, so that people cannot see what is inside.

Around this huge "pyramid" made of treasure chests and rings, everyone's eyes lit up!

Sure enough, it's still a treasure that touches people's hearts!

This kind of visually striking large number of treasure chests made the onlookers excited. Not to mention the disciples who came to participate in the Treasure Hunting Competition!

"Wow! I want to have them all! Open them all! Sweep them away!" Tian Xuan said excitedly.

"Hehe, you think beautifully, they are all banned by the magic circle now!" Although Chu Xiao has been a human being for two lives, he is now a young man in his prime, and he also has some youthful temperament, and his eyes reveal faint excitement.

He set his eyes on the only treasure chest on the ninth layer, and secretly said that it should be the number one treasure in this treasure hunting competition, the Yin Yang Fruit.

Then his gaze moved down, staring at a purple gold treasure chest on the far left of the eighth layer, he had already understood in advance, that treasure chest, it was the Immortal Sea Lingzhi!

This is his first goal to participate in the treasure hunting competition.

As for the first-ranked treasure, the Yin-Yang Fruit, Chu Xiao secretly estimated that with his own strength, after grabbing the Immortal Sea Lingzhi, he should still have time to get his hands on the Yin-Yang Fruit! After all, the Yin-Yang Fruit was far more eye-catching than the Immortal Sea Lingzhi for this group of disciples! Even if Niu Meng wanted to win the Yin-Yang Fruit for the first time, he would have to spend a lot of effort and feet!

On the front side of this "pyramid of rings" is a well-built viewing platform. It is mainly used by emperors, empresses, princes and nobles and other big figures in Shengjing.

Ordinary seats were also set up on the other three sides. Naturally, it is open to ordinary civilians such as the citizens of Shengjing City.

At this time, on the viewing platform. The emperor and the empress have arrived, and then they are seated. And the others, naturally, are already in place early.

You're all set.

The disciples who came to participate in the treasure hunting competition also followed the call of the master of ceremonies and walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

And most of them were cheering for Chu Xiao.

"I hope that the little prince of Xichu can win the championship!"

"Little Lord will definitely be able to!"

"But that Niu Meng is the number one disciple of the Great Xia Academy! I heard that he will specifically target the little prince of Western Chu this time!"

"Whatever, anyway, I bought the little prince of Xichu as the champion this time! Two hundred yuan is not much, out of emotional considerations, I also want to support the little prince of Xichu!"

"Cut, buy the little prince to win before you bet two hundred? At first glance, you just don't believe that the little prince can win the championship!"

"Oh, how much did you bet?"

"Two hundred and five!"

......

"Hmph, a bunch of fools!I'll let you know what disappointment is later!" Listening to these faint conversations, Prime Minister Wu shook his sleeves very unhappily and said.

"The prestige of the Xichu Royal Mansion has passed for so many years, and it is still very high, hum...... If Chu Xiao is allowed to win the championship again, it will undoubtedly be a further 'encouragement' to these people, and the prestige of the Western Chu Royal Mansion will be even more inflated!" Seeing the Xichu Palace, so many years have passed, and there is still such a prestige among the people of Shengjing City, which makes him very uncomfortable. Some of the "obsessions" that had already dissipated in my heart gradually resurfaced.

"Lord Fang, don't worry! That kid can't win the championship! Don't say it's a bull fierce! Even if it's someone else's level, he may not be able to get by!" Prime Minister Wu said disdainfully.

"Oh, have you arranged for someone else?" said King Zhennan.

"Of course, you have to double insure to rest assured. Hey. Prime Minister Wu sneered and said, "Then Chu Xiao is really as rumored, his talent has returned, and it is extraordinary." But this treasure hunt contest can only come back with the result of hitting a wall!"

......

The master of ceremonies in charge of this treasure hunting competition, after an opening sentence with the meaning of "the emperor's grace is vast, I hope that all the disciples with a great future can read the kindness of the Great Xia royal family, and the Great Xia Kingdom will always be the hometown of all disciples".

Finally began to explain the rules: "The nine-layer ring, the higher the ring, the better the quality of the treasures in the treasure chest! However, I hope that all the disciples can choose the treasure chest target that suits them in advance according to their own strength! As you can see, at this time, these rings have all been banned by the formation! After the Treasure Hunting Contest begins, the forbidden magic circle will be unsealed in turn every ten breaths. The first unsealing is the first, second, third, and third-tier rings at the bottom; the second unsealing is the fourth, fifth, and sixth-tier rings in the middle; and the third unsealing is the seven, eight, nine, and three-tier rings at the top! I know that everyone may be staring at the best treasure chest on the top floor, but what do you want to advise you is, what do you think is the probability of winning it? If you fail to compete for those treasure chests on the upper floor, then basically, the treasures on the lower level are likely to have been divided. Then the bamboo basket will be empty, so the Treasure Hunt Contest will not only test your strength, but also test your strategy!"

The meaning of the master of ceremonies is very clear.

Because of this mechanism of sequential unblocking. It's best for everyone to set their own goals before they even start. Otherwise, if you blindly wait for the high-quality treasure chests on the upper three floors to be unsealed, then you will naturally miss the treasure chests on the first six floors to grab! Even if your strength is not weak, according to the rules, after others open the treasure chest and get the treasure, they will be regarded as the owner of the treasure, and they will not be able to snatch it again!

Of course, for a few top disciples, such as Niu Meng, Chu Xiao and the like, they should be able to grab a certain treasure chest in the lower three layers, and still have time to grab the third layer.

But no one usually does that. Because the value of the treasures in the lower three layers is not high, dividing energy here is likely to lead to picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. After all, the stronger disciples are all staring at each other. If you put your energy out of grabbing low-level chests, you're likely to fail when you grab high-level chests.

So, no one would do that.

"Now, then, I announce that the Treasure Hunt Contest begins!" shouted the master of ceremonies, and his voice resounded throughout the audience.
