Chapter 16 The Beginning of the Medicine Meeting
In the early morning, the dawn of the sky appeared slightly, and Jiyang City, which had been calm for a little while, began to have some slight tickles, and with the rapid passage of time, the tickles became bigger and bigger, and when the sky was dark, almost the entire Jiyang City became a pot of boiling boiling water, and it was noisy.
In Jiyang City, the streets and alleys are full of people.
The cries of the early hawkers, the footsteps of the chaotic noise, the voices of friends and companions, the shouts of scolding, and the laughter...... It's one after another.
These countless sounds converged into torrents from all directions, buzzing into the Lingbao Pavilion in the north of Jiyang City, detonating violently, and then spreading in all directions, instantly spreading to every corner of Jiyang City, that is, lazy pigs who sleep to death can be woken up.
At the beginning of the morning, the surroundings of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion were already crowded, except for the ordinary people in Jiyang City who came to see the excitement, most of them were spirit masters. There was a hint of expectation on everyone's faces, and the cold of this deep winter could not hinder their enthusiasm for this "Thousand Elixir Meeting".
After all, such a huge and bustling event only happens once every five years. In the Dacheng Empire, that is, the Mu family in Los Angeles, they have the ability to hold the "Thousand Elixir Meeting" alone. Others, even if it is the royal family of the Dacheng Empire, I am afraid that they will have to unite several families.
This is not to say that the Mu family in Los Angeles is the strongest. Among the five major clans, the strength of the Mu family is only slightly stronger than that of the Nie family, ranking fourth. However, the Mu family runs the "Lingbao Pavilion" and has accumulated more elixirs than other families, and the number of elixir masters of the Mu family ranks first in the world.
In the entire Dacheng Empire, the only seven-grade elixir master is from the Mu family in Los Angeles; there are two six-grade elixir masters in the Dacheng Empire, one from the royal family, and the other is also from the Mu family, as for the five-grade elixir master, there are ten people in the Dacheng Empire, of which there are three from the Mu family.
Such a family, with such a number of high-grade elixir masters, for hundreds of years, I don't know how many people have provoked the eyes, if the strength is weak, I am afraid that it will be carved up long ago and there is no scum left. It's just that although the overall strength of the Mu family is not the strongest, the family always has a Heavenly Spirit Master.
There are Heavenly Spirit powerhouses, no matter how coveted by the other families of the Dacheng Empire and even the surrounding neighbors, they don't dare to act rashly, so they can only keep their jealousy in their hearts. Moreover, the current Heavenly Spirit powerhouse of the Mu family is also the only seventh-grade elixir master in the Dacheng Empire.
It is said that he has great hopes of becoming the king of medicine.
The Dacheng Empire has been established for hundreds of years, and there has never been a medicine king, if he can succeed and obtain the title of medicine king given by the "Spirit Temple", it will be a great honor for the entire Dacheng Empire. Because of this, when the Lingbao Pavilion held the "Thousand Elixir Meeting", the other clans were more enthusiastic than before.
"Tom!"
On the three poles, the bell rang suddenly.
The deafening sound was emptied, rumbling into the nine heavenly clouds, and even a few dark clouds floating in the sky were dispersed.
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and then there was a bang, as if 10,000 catties of explosives were ignited at the same time, and the outside of the Lingbao Pavilion became even more lively. The people who had originally gathered around the Lingbao Pavilion began to divide into two streams of people, one to the large courtyard on the left side of the Lingbao Pavilion, and the other to the right.
After a while, a large crowd ran from the right to the left. Spiritual masters who have personally participated in the "Thousand Elixir Meeting" or have relatives and friends know that although the medicine sales area on the right side will also start to sell various elixirs and herbs today, the real good medicines are tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
As for today's highlight, it is the drug meeting that unveiled the prelude to the "Thousand Cure Medicine Society".
Originally, this kind of competition was just to motivate the younger generations of the family's elixir masters, and it was generally limited to the five major clans of the empire, that is, it was conducted within the Dacheng royal family, the Lifeng Qu family, the Yege Que family, the Luocheng Mu family, and the Jiyang Nie family.
After several times, it was found that the number of participants in the competition was too small, so five other powerful families were introduced. Now, the scale is even larger, regardless of whether he is from the family or not, any elixir master under the age of twenty-five can sign up, as long as he is a member of the country.
Therefore, every medicine meeting nowadays is a big competition, and a large number of civilian elixir masters participate. Their strength may not be very good, but there are a few who have good talents, and such elixir masters will be the targets of the major families. So, most of them came here for this.
For this "Thousand Elixir Meeting", the left side of the village courtyard has been sorted out on a large scale a few days ago. Entering through the open gate, there is a wide flat land large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and on the northernmost side of the flat land, there is a large triangular high platform with stairs ascending.
These steps, from bottom to top, can be divided into five steps, and the height of the steps varies greatly between each two. These are the five levels in the big competition of the medicine club. All the elixir masters who participate in the competition start from the first level, and after each level, they can go to the previous level to participate in the next round of the competition.
After passing five levels and reaching the top, you can get the most generous rewards, and the top ten elixir masters also have rewards, but compared to the elixir masters in the first place, there is a huge difference.
Underneath the five-pass platform, there are several long rows of seats that are separated. The people who can sit there are the referees of this big competition, as well as the VIPs who participated in this Thousand Elixir Meeting. At this time, the drug club has not really started, and all the seats are empty.
"...... Uproar"
Half an hour later, dozens of figures appeared in the passage connecting the Lingbao Pavilion on the side of the high platform, and a thunderbolt-like explosion suddenly appeared in this wide flat land, and everyone's muttering, discussion and chatter gathered in one place, like a flood that broke free from the embankment, rolling and scattering, and the sound shook for more than ten miles.
The spirit masters who participated in the "Thousand Elixir Society" came from all over the Dacheng Empire, and in an instant, they recognized the identities of the people at the front.
"Look, that's Master Mu Zisi of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion!"
"The Nie family's Tianxin Master ......"
"Master Cheng Feiliu! It's actually the Cheng Feiliu Master of the royal family! I didn't expect the royal family to come to the five-grade elixir master this time, it seems that he will also serve as the referee of this big competition!"
"Tsk, although the royal family also sent people to participate in the medicine competition in the past, the high-grade elixir master of the royal family has never been a judge of this kind of competition, and the impact of this competition will definitely be greater than the previous times. ”
"Hey, that's Master Qu Shuyun of the Qu Qi family in the Wind City, the only fifth-grade female elixir master in our Dacheng Empire!"
"I guessed that the five-grade elixir masters of the four major clans have all appeared, and there is no reason why the Yege City Que family will not come. Look, if I'm not mistaken, the one next to Master Tianxin should be Master Que Yu of the Que family. Ha ha. It is said that this master has never left the city before!"
"Ah, there is also the 'Luoxia Sect''s five-grade elixir master, Master Fu Errong, could it be that he is also the referee this time? If so, this is the first time that a referee outside the five major clans has been introduced......
“......”
In the rolling tide, those people sat down in front of the stairs one by one, and as everyone guessed, Mu Zisi, Lian Tianxin, Cheng Feiliu, Qu Zhuyun, Que Yu and Fu Errong all sat in the front row. At the back sat important figures from various families and sects.
Soon, the seats in front of the high platform were full. Everyone knew that the drug meeting was about to begin, and the atmosphere in the wide flat area was like a wave.
At this moment, behind the high platform is a different scene......
