"Guess which three people will win the first place in the three meetings this year?"

"It's hard to say about the refining conference and the formation conference, as for the alchemy conference, it should be Wang Wenguang of Qingyunmen, he didn't know why he didn't come last time, but this time he came again, unless he doesn't participate in the alchemy conference, otherwise he must be the first, he is even a four-grade alchemist who is praised by the master of the alchemy hall. ”

"Really, Wang Wenguang actually came, I thought he would only participate once and not come, since he came, then there is indeed no suspense about the first place in this alchemy conference. ”

"So what? Wang Wenguang only won the first place in the individual at most, and as for the team competition, Qingyunmen may not be the first. ”

"You are right, in the previous session, although Wang Wenguang won the first place, but Qingyunmen only won a middle ranking, hehe, if it wasn't for Wang Wenguang to take the first place, I think Qingyunmen is just an obscure small sect, compared to the Frost Gate, Qinggu Gate and other sects, Qingyunmen still has a gap. ”

"But this time Qingyunmen seems to be a little outstanding, in the previous martial arts competition, I heard that they made a lot of spirit stones from Chaohaimen and Diyoumen. There was also the auction later, tsk, Qingyunmen was really generous, and the finale of the low-grade martial arts were all auctioned for them. ”

"Yes, I really didn't expect Qingyunmen and Feihuamen to be so rich, counting other auction items, Qingyunmen probably spent more than 100 million low-grade spirit stones this time. ”

"More than 100 million, if you smash so many low-grade spirit stones on me, I'm afraid I'll be stoned to death. Hey. ”

They thought that the more than 100 million low-grade spirit stones that were photographed for the lower-grade martial arts were shared equally between Qingyunmen and Feihuamen, but in fact, Qingyunmen produced most of the lower-grade spirit stones, and Feihuamen was only a small part.

While talking about the alchemy conference, some people are also talking about an extremely important sacrifice before the alchemy conference: the Shennong sacrifice!

When listening to these people's discussions, Gan Qingqian and others roughly understood some things about the Shennong Festival in the lake city, for example, this Shennong festival was held on the day of the beginning of spring, and all the people should gather outside the east gate to worship, because the statue of Shennong is located twenty miles outside the east gate of the lake city. As for why it is located in the east of the lakeside city and not in the other direction, it is because Shennong's greatest contribution is farming, what does farming need? Nature is sunshine and rain. Where does the sun come from? Where does the rain come from? It is rumored that the dragon is spreading the rain in the clouds, and in which direction is the dragon? It is the east again. As for the last point, everything begins in spring, and spring corresponds to the East. Therefore, to sum up the above three reasons, most of the Shennong statues in the Five Elements Continent are located in the east.

As for the chief priest of the Shennong Festival this time, it was the city lord of the lakeside city and the hall masters of the Alchemy Hall, the Refining Hall and the Formation Hall in turn, and the three priests were also the three people from the sect who won the first place in the Sanhui team competition in the last session.

For the Shennong Festival, Fang Youyou and the others were very interested, because they had not seen it, but Fang Zixuan felt that this Shennong Festival in the Lake City should not be as good as the Spring Hunger City, who called the number of martial artists in the Lake City was far less than the mortals in the Spring Hunger City.

On the day before the Shennong Festival, the Great Elder told everyone to gather and set off for the Shennong Festival tomorrow.

At three o'clock in the second day, a young man in black came to the courtyard of No. 28, this person was from the City Lord's Mansion, and he led the people of Qingyunmen to participate in the Shennong Festival.

Before he walked out of the courtyard, Fang Zixuan solemnly told Hu Yuexian: "Xian'er, today is the Shennong Festival, don't make trouble, otherwise, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to protect you." You're going to be caught and eaten by them. ”

Hu Yuexian nodded and shouted, "Got it." ”

Walking out of the courtyard, Fang Zixuan saw that the people on the other side of the Feihua Gate had just walked out, and similarly, there was also a man wearing the costume of the City Lord's Mansion leading the way in front.

So, the people from the two City Lord's Mansion took the people from Qingyunmen and Feihuamen to the direction of the city.

It was raining lightly in the sky right now, but it didn't matter to them, because the rain was about to fall on them and was separated by the aura they were emanating. Releasing a small amount of aura for a long time to maintain this state is a breeze for martial artists in the Martial General Realm and the Martial Marquis Realm.

After walking for a while, everyone came to the lakeside square in the center of the city. At this time, there were already a lot of people waiting there, because the number of martial artists in the Lake City was not large, so everyone set out from the center of the city to the statue of Shennong, of course, this is not much compared to the mortal big cities such as Chunyu City, after all, the total number of people from all the sects and scattered cultivators in the Lake City is less than 100,000.

"Everyone, please wait here, we will set off at the time of the hour to the statue of Shennong in the east of the city to carry out this year's Shennong Festival. "The young man in black is humane to everyone in Qingyunmen.

After saying this, the young man in black did not leave, and it seemed that he would continue to lead everyone to follow the sacrificial procession to the statue of Shennong later.

In the center of the square, Fang Zixuan saw the sacrificial procession. This sacrificial procession is the same as that of the Spring Worm City, which is composed of seven phalanxes, which are the band phalanx in the back, the five-element phalanx in the middle, and the Sanxian official array in the front.

At this time, people from the sect or scattered cultivators came to the lakeside square one after another, and as for the people from the sect, naturally there were people from the City Lord's Mansion who led them to stand, and those who were scattered cultivators also had people from the City Lord's Mansion who commanded them to stand somewhere.

Usually these unruly loose cultivators, at this moment, they are also obediently obeying the command of the people of the City Lord's Mansion, they can't, and they don't dare to do anything radical at this time. Although the Shennong Festival generally does not kill people on the day, it is absolutely inevitable to settle accounts after the autumn, and the only result of this settlement after the autumn is death. You can not come to participate in the Shennong Festival, but if you come, you must not make trouble on this day, otherwise you will clearly disrespect Shennong and not give face to the City Lord's Mansion, the Alchemy Hall and the Refining Palace, then the people of these three parties will naturally not be polite to you, of course, others will not have any opinions on the execution of these troublemakers.

It can be said that if a certain place holds a Shennong festival on a certain day, then with the statue of Shennong as the center, it is forbidden to fight and kill within a radius of 100 miles for mortals and warriors within a radius of 1000 miles. Even if you are the master of the sect, even a Martial Emperor powerhouse, or even a Martial Saint powerhouse, it is no exception.

Although there were tens of thousands of warriors standing in the square at this time, except for those who commanded the formation, everyone else did not speak, but just stood solemnly.

When it was almost time, Fang Zixuan found that there were tens of thousands of scattered cultivators in this square, and it seemed that almost the entire people in the lakeside city had come to participate in this Shennong Festival, but it was normal to think about it, everyone else came to participate on this day, if you didn't come, it would be easy for others to see it as a person who forgot his sect. The people of the Five Elements Continent have great respect for their ancestors, especially the common ancestors of all people like Shennong, which is a strong feeling that has been precipitated over countless years. Perhaps, many people are brutal and inhumane, but most of them have a lot of respect for their ancestors, so under normal circumstances, in addition to swearing to God, swearing in the name of their ancestors is also very recognized by others, and here, few people dare to swear casually in the name of their ancestors, because they know that this oath will definitely be fulfilled in the dark.

It's not that you don't report it, the hour has not come, and when the hour comes, everything will be reported!

Especially at these important moments when you comprehend the law or artistic conception, or advance, this vow often comes as promised.

On the one hand, the traditional cultural thinking of the Five Elements Continent made them know how to respect their ancestors, and on the other hand, it was caused by their oaths, so Fang Zixuan felt that the Five Elements Continent was doing much better in this regard than his own. For example, in ancient times, it was very formal for a person to swear in the name of their ancestors, and no one dared to break it easily, but in modern times, it is not difficult for them to swear in the name of their ancestors, it is even easier than eating lettuce.

The hour has come.

A middle-aged man in black in the ranks of the three officials suddenly shouted: "When the time comes, play "Ode to Shennong". ”

As this person's voice fell, the music of Shennong's ode suddenly sounded in the square.

Then, the sacrificial procession walked at the front, and the other spectators followed in an orderly manner under the leadership of the young man in black.

After a while, Fang Zixuan and the others finally walked out of the east gate, and then, after walking a distance, Fang Zixuan and the others came to a huge statue standing facing east.

This is the statue of Shennong in the city near the lake!

This Shennong statue is almost exactly the same as that of Chunyu City, the only difference is that the licorice on the "Shennong Materia Medica" on this Shennong statue has been replaced with the elixir Shennong grass, and the whole statue is even larger, after all, this is a statue made by a warrior, and with the ability of a warrior, it is not difficult to make such a huge statue at all.

Under the leadership of the young man in black, Fang Zixuan and the others stood somewhere facing the statue of Shennong.

After a while, everyone who came to participate in this Shennong Festival had already stood up.

"Play music, welcome Shennong. The middle-aged man in black shouted in a long voice.

Then, the man in Tsing Yi in the chime band next to the statue of Shennong rang the first chime, and the crisp and melodious music suddenly sounded.

"Bow four times. The middle-aged man in black shouted loudly.

So, tens of thousands of warriors bowed four times to the statue of Shennong.

Hu Yuexian stood quietly by Fang Zixuan's side at this time, there were so many martial artists in the realm of martial arts, even the martial king, how dare Hu Yuexian move casually.

Now, the Shennong Festival in the Lake City has begun in a haze of smoke and rain.

Next is the incense.

And then it was this time that the lord of the city of Lakeside City, who was the chief priest, laid the silk.

At this time, even this city lord with high cultivation and status still knelt three times and bowed nine times in front of the statue of Shennong.

Then the great elder of a certain sect and the people of the Five Elements Phalanx stepped forward to make their first offering, and this sect was the sect that won the first place in the last refining conference.

Listening to the sacrificial text recited by this middle-aged man in black, although Fang Zixuan felt that the level of this sacrificial text was obviously slightly inferior to the one in Spring Sylling City, but on the whole, it was still very good, it seemed that this sacrificial text should be written by someone from the Lake City who went to the mortal world to find someone to write it for him, otherwise, with the writing level of ordinary martial artists, it would never be possible to write such a sacrificial text with ancient charm.

After the initial dedication, the great elder of a certain sect and the people of the Five Elements Phalanx went up to Yaxian, and this sect was the sect that won the first place in the formation conference last time.

After the sub-dedication, the same great elder of a certain sect and the people of the Five Elements Phalanx went up to make the final offering, and this sect was the sect that won the first place in the last alchemy conference.

The celebrant drank the blessings.

Withdrawal.

Congratulations to Shennong.

Hopeful.

The sacrificial process in Lake City is the same as that in Spring Castle.

After the end, the sacrificial procession walked in front, and the rest of the people followed back to the city.

When the team returned to the lakeside square, everyone left.
