Chapter 322: A Chance Encounter
In the next few months, Qin Chuan devoted himself to refining weapons, and Dugu Xinyue and Wang Yiyuan sent the content of the previous refining competitions for his reference, and after squandering a large number of high-level materials, his refining level improved a lot.
The date of the competition is approaching, and the delegation of the Montenegrin Empire to participate in the competition was formed, led by Dugu Xinyue and Wang Yiyuan, in addition to some officials of the Ministry of Rites and members of the Chamber of Commerce, and there will be a series of foreign affairs activities and business activities during the competition.
In addition to Qin Chuan, Jia Chaozong, Liu Xianlong and Luo Hong, there is also a member named Dugu Chaohua, who belongs to the royal family of Montenegro, a generation younger than Dugu Crescent, and is currently studying in a higher education institution, which is considered a standard academic school.
The venue of the northern competition this time is in Mingzhou City, the national capital of Anxi Kingdom, and Longyuan City is nearly three million miles away from Mingzhou, but there is such a thing as a teleportation array, which naturally saves the pain of traveling and traveling.
As for the selection of the host city, it is very interesting to say, similar to the method of determining the "Olympic host city", the city first bids for the host, and then the refiner alliance evaluates its software and hardware facilities, and finally determines the host city.
According to Dugu Xinyue, Longyuan City had also bid for it, but the hardware facilities were not up to standard, so it was excluded as soon as possible.
Choosing a good day and choosing an auspicious day, the lord of the Montenegrin Empire personally gave the "delegation" a grand trip, and the group entered the teleportation hall.
Since there is no direct teleportation array between Longjiang City and Mingzhou City, it must go through a transit, and the transit place is Liufang City, the largest city in the north, which belongs to the industry of the Eternal Liufang Sect, about the Eternal Liufang Sect, it is also very famous in Zhongzhou, and its disciples are the most welcome official candidates in the country of cultivating immortals, because this sect is a Confucian and Taoist sect, and it has great experience in assisting the royal family to manage the country.
When I arrived in Liufang City, I stayed for a day, this city left a deep impression on Qinchuan, the streets were neat and clean, the buildings were elegant and magnificent, and there was a cultural atmosphere everywhere, which was most suitable to describe as a "livable" city.
The next day, through the teleportation array to Mingzhou City, out of the teleportation hall, Anxi Guo set up a special reception here, and the group was placed in the post house, saying that it was a post house, but it was actually a space immortal mansion, and many people had already lived in the immortal mansion, obviously all of them were participating in the instrument refining competition.
There were still a few days before the start of the Instrument Refining Competition, Dugu Xinyue and Wang Yiyuan had a lot of things to contact, Qin Chuan and the others had free time, and the other four didn't want to see him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to those guys, so he wandered around Mingzhou City alone.
The first impression of Mingzhou City is that there are many people, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a tide of people.
As soon as he turned a street, there seemed to be someone peddling goods in front of him, attracting a large group of onlookers, Qin Chuan also came over and found that he was peddling the so-called "inside information" of the refining competition, which was fake nine times out of ten, but he still spent a spirit stone to buy one.
The content of the jade slip is divided into three parts, the first part is the schedule, he has known this for a long time, the division of the competition is divided into three rounds, the first round is the elimination of the specified materials, the second round is the elimination of the specified magic weapon type, and the third is the optional ranking competition.
He already knew the specific rules, so he directly began to look at the second part of the content, which is the so-called inside information, which lists what are the materials specified in the first round, and the type of magic weapon specified in the second round is swords, etc.
The third part is very interesting, it is actually a prediction that there is a chance to enter the top 100 list of the refining competition division, Qin Chuan did not find his name, but he saw the name of Jia Chaozong.
"Is this guy so powerful?" he muttered, but he didn't want anyone to pick it up, "The content on the jade slip still has a certain degree of credibility, at least the people on the back list are not bad at refining!"
Qin Chuan turned his head to look and found that it was a famous hand-cranked folding fan and a dignified-looking young man.
"Oh, Daoist friends are familiar with the characters on this list?"
"I don't dare to say that I am familiar, but more than half of them know it!"
"Can I ask a question or two?"
The young man looked up at the sky, "It's time for dinner."
Hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately had a feeling that this guy was deliberately accosting him to cheat and cheat, but at the moment he was a little bored, and it was good to find someone to relieve his boredom.
"It's better to meet by chance, there is a restaurant in front, brother Tai doesn't dislike it, let's talk while eating?"
"Hehe, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, but there are still two friends below, I don't know if we can be together..."
, this guy really thinks he is wronged, Qin Chuan was just about to turn around and leave, when a woman's voice suddenly came from not far away, "Don't listen to him, fellow Daoist, this guy will cheat and cheat!"
"Who said that I cheated and cheated, I am a paid service, who doesn't know that I Kong Ming people call me 'know-it-all'!"
Kong Ming?Qin Chuan carefully looked at the guy in front of him again.
"Hey, don't look at me with such adoring eyes!" the young man made a gesture of covering his chest.
"Poof~ People don't worship you, they look at what the liar looks like!" The girl who spoke looked sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a corset red knee-length skirt, with small boots on her feet, and a section of her calf exposed was very eye-catching, and her delicate face was also eye-catching, and there was a small beauty mole at the corner of her mouth, which added a bit of agility and playfulness, and there was a tall young man beside her, who looked very heroic.
With Qin Chuan's eyesight, the three of them are not ordinary people, as for this guy named Kong Ming, he is not a professional liar at all, "Hehe, if your name is Zhuge Kong Ming, I really want to worship you!"
"Zhuge Kongming, who is this?
Qin Chuan looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, it's time for dinner!"
"Poof~ Kong Ming, you have met an opponent this time!" the woman giggled, Kong Ming is face was black, he didn't expect what he said just now, and returned it.
"I'll invite you to this meal! In the Han Kingdom, Su Yifeng, this is the sister Su Yifei!"
"In Qinchuan, the Lower Black Mountain Country, it's a pleasure to meet three of them!"
A group of four people entered the restaurant, and the elegant rooms of the restaurant were all full, so they had to find a window seat in the hall and sit down.
"Qin Daoyou is also here to participate in the Instrument Refining Competition?" Kong Ming said first.
"yes, all three of you are contestants?"
"That's right, it doesn't represent the Eternal Liufang Sect, and their brothers and sisters represent the Great Han Kingdom, but we are all from the same sect!"
"It turned out to be a Taoist friend of the Eternal Liufang Sect, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful, Kong Daoyou, you are familiar with most of the people on the jade slip just now, I don't know if you can let you have a long experience?"
"No problem, but no good wine..."
Qin Chuan was speechless, and took out a jar of "100 days of drunkenness", "This is all right, right?"
Kong Ming opened the seal and sniffed it, revealing an intoxicated expression, then took out the wine glass, poured a glass and drank it all, "Haha, good wine, today Kong Ming will have a wine tasting hero!"
