Standing at the gate of the city, Xie Yu looked up at this strange city, which was the first time he had been in such close contact with the city since he entered the other world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But seeing the ancient vicissitudes of the city wall of Xiwu City without losing its momentum, the eaves are like upside-down golden hooks, straight to the edge of the sky, turning into a circle of black spots in the field of vision and blending with heaven and earth, and the rust on the city gate adds traces of time to the city, deep and solid.

There is a golden plaque hanging on the city gate, with three golden characters of "West Fog City" written on it. At the gate of the city, there was a row of golden-armored guards, holding golden spears, and a sense of slaughter arose.

Seeing Xie Yu coming over, the guard at the front stopped him expressionlessly with a spear in his hand, and checked his identity information before letting him go.

After the inspection, Xie Yu didn't have time to look at the surrounding scenery, so he found someone to buy a map of West Fog City, found an elixir shop, and bought a large number of elixirs.

During the purchase of medicine, it was really as the young brothers and sisters in green shirts said, all the major elixir shops in Xiwu City lacked licorice, and it is estimated that the "Xiwu Elixir Shop" was no exception. Fortunately, Xie Yu has a large amount of licorice on hand, otherwise he really doesn't know what to do.

After purchasing the medicine, Xie Yu found an inn, closed the door, and began to practice refining pills in earnest.

......

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed unconsciously in Xie Yu's refining medicine.

In these ten days, Xie Yu spent the rest of his time on refining medicine except for eating. Although time is short, with Xie Yu's talent for refining medicine, the refining level can barely satisfy him.

......

On this day, in the central square of Xiwu City, it is like a festival, the lanterns are colorful, the ribbons are hung everywhere, the colorful flags are flying everywhere, the voices of people are boiling, and it is not lively.

A large number of cultivators flocked from all directions, most of these cultivators were cultivators in the refining stage, but they were also ordinary cultivators in the innate stage, and occasionally a small number of cultivators in the foundation building stage gathered their own aura and mixed in with it.

What can alarm the cultivators of the foundation building period is naturally the annual medicine refining competition of the Wu family and the Han family, and this year's medicine refining competition is different from previous years, and it is related to the appointment and dismissal of the city lord of Xiwu City.

Changlin County attached great importance to this and sent an envoy to preside over this medicine refining competition. It is said that this envoy is a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and he is only one step away from breaking through the foundation building stage and entering the world of higher cultivators.

On the huge platform in the center of the central square, a middle-aged man sits on the right side in the center, but he sees his dignified appearance, and his face is full of majesty. The eyes are blazing, the eyes are cold stars, the chest is broad, and there is a majesty that is invincible.

On the left side of the center sat a middle-aged female cultivator in her thirties, but she was tall, with black and soft hair, a snow-white melon seed face, slender eyelashes, and black and shiny eyes.

Sitting on both sides of it, there is a middle-aged and elderly man sitting upright, Hao Ran on the left is the head of the Wu family, and on the right is a beard, looking like a tiger's back and a bear's waist, it seems that he is infinitely powerful, this person is undoubtedly the head of the Han family.

At this time, the two of them were sitting in a precarious position, nodding to the two in the center from time to time, and occasionally humbly smiling.

Behind the two heads of the family, four elders from each sat in turn, all of them sitting upright with serious expressions, and they didn't dare to talk to each other.

Behind the elders, there was a row of uniformly dressed young men, all gold silk satin on the left, and all gold robes on the right.

It's just that there are only nine golden silk and satin boys on the left, and a full ten on the right.

All the people on the stage sat silently, while the cultivators from all walks of life in the audience whispered and exchanged words.

"Who do you say the two cultivators in the center will be?" asked the thin cultivator with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks curiously to the red-robed cultivator on the side.

"Alas, the momentum emanating from them must be an envoy sent by Changlin County, and the two heads of the Han family and the Wu family are respectful to him. Who else but the messenger. The red-robed cultivator replied softly.

"Messenger!" The thin cultivator suddenly patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, how did I forget this." It is said that the two envoys are cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and the most powerful of our Xiwu City are the two masters of Han and Wu, and they are still in the early stage of foundation building. ”

"That's for sure, people from Changlin County can still be bad. Speaking of this, the red-robed cultivator mysteriously leaned into the thin cultivator's ear and whispered: "Let me tell you, it is said that the male envoy was born in Western Fog City and has received a lot of favors from the Han family, but he is afraid of ......." ”

Hearing this, the thin cultivator couldn't help but exclaim, "What?"

"Shhh

The thin cultivator smiled awkwardly, was silent for a moment, and said, "Alas, brother, where did you say that middle-aged female cultivator came from, wouldn't it have anything to do with the Han family?"

The red-robed cultivator's face was impatient when he heard this, and he looked like he was ignoring it, until the thin cultivator was entangled a few times, and then he shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, but he should be an alchemist!

......

On the other side, a young man and woman who seemed to be a couple muttered carefully. But seeing the young female cultivator, she asked softly, "Why do you say that there are only nine people from their Wu family participating in the competition?

The young male cultivator frowned when he heard this, and replied cautiously, "I don't know about this matter either. According to the usual experience, I am afraid that the Wu family will never be able to find the tenth decent medicine refining boy. It's better not to come than to make a fool of yourself. ”

"No, you see the elder of the Wu family with a straight face and star sword eyebrows, with a worried look on his face, constantly looking around, as if he was looking for someone. In my opinion, there must be ten members of the Wu family, but they can't come for some reason, or they are on the way here. "In the end, it was a female cultivator, and her meticulous observation was actually guessed by her.

And the Wu family elders mentioned by the young female cultivators are naturally the five elders.

At this moment, the Fifth Elder was anxious, and it was he who gave Xie Yu this opportunity under tremendous pressure. If Xie Yu doesn't come, not only will Xie Yu have to be severely punished, but he will not be able to get out of it.

The fifth elder glanced at the nine medicine refining boys from time to time, how much he hoped that Xie Yu would suddenly appear among these people. But the reality is cruel after all, no matter how he looks through the autumn water, the figure of anticipation never appears.

At this moment, there is only less than half an hour left before the Great Refining Pill Competition, and if you don't arrive at the roll call, you will be disqualified from the competition, and no matter how powerful you are, it will be in vain.

Suddenly, the head of the Wu family said in a stern voice and asked: "Old Five, Xie Yu, what's going on, Xie Yu hasn't come yet, do you want us to invite you in person?"

The fifth elder's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "Brother of the head of the family, please be calm and don't be impatient, Brother Humble will send someone to find it, he received the sound transmission jade slip, since he didn't come back, he should be in the Xiwu Elixir Shop." ”

"I hope so! This medicine refining competition is very important, and it has a bearing on whether our Wu family can become the city lord of Western Fog City. He's our only hope of winning this time, so you've got to find him. ”

The fifth elder quietly wiped the sweat droplets from the corners of his forehead, and was busy transmitting the sound to claim that it was, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Medicine Master Mo in the crowd, and said a few words.

Pharmacist Mo nodded, and after gathering a few people, he quickly got out of the crowd and dispersed .......

At the edge of the square where Yao Shi Mo passed, a large group of cultivators gathered here, and a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the center of the crowd sat on the ground, with two big characters "Wu" and "Han" placed in front of him, bowing his head and shouting: "Walk by, pass by, don't miss it." Everyone is coming to bet, there is still half an hour before the alchemy competition will begin, and even if you want to bet, you can't bet. ”

Some of the onlookers around didn't think about betting directly on the Han family, and some people wandered between the Han family and the Wu family, although the Han family's chances of winning were extremely high, but the odds were quite low, only 1:0.1, and if they bet on the Wu family, the odds were 1:10, a hundred times different!

More people chose to stand still and discuss the winning rate of the two families on the sidelines.
