Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Dou Dan Competition

Ye Zifeng grinned: "If you get the top three, it's easy, after the end of the Dou Dan Competition, I think the refined pills will be auctioned, I want you to scrape together the money and auction my pills at the highest price!"

Liang Jiu and the others stared at Ye Zifeng, stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other and laughed.

"Little brother, your idea is good, but do you know what kind of place this is? This is not a place where alchemists are scarce like you in Leizhou City, and the price of pills here is more than three times cheaper than that of Leizhou City!"

"Huh...... Forget Brother Jiu, don't talk to him, talk as if he can really get into the top three. The top alchemists of the Five Cities are gathered here, where can a newcomer like him influence the results?!"

Ye Zifeng smiled faintly: "What the hell is going on, do you bet or not?"

"Bet, of course bet! If you lose, isn't it a big deal to buy your pill at the price of cabbage? What can't you bet!"

Liang Jiu laughed wildly, and immediately made a decision, as the leading brother among these people, how could he be willing to be shorter than Ye Zifeng, a hairy young man.

"That's good, make a blood contract, and we'll make a decision!"

Little brother, I made it clear to you, don't blame the big brother for bullying you after you lose, you were the one who got in by yourself!"

"Of course. Ye Zifeng's eyes were faint, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of an imperceptible smile.

......

Ye Zifeng, under the guidance of the iron guards of Muyun Mansion, finally found Liu Bingqian and the others, and they had been waiting in the hall for a while.

"I'm not late, am I?" Ye Zifeng smiled indifferently, glanced around the surrounding situation, and saw that it was still noisy, thinking that there was still a certain amount of time before the official start of the Doudan Competition.

Yang Jing sighed slightly: "Although it hasn't completely started yet, but when you listen to the discussions of the people around you, almost all of them are laughing at Senior Sister, I can't comfort her anymore, or Young Master Ye, you can't come?"

Ye Zifeng showed an embarrassed smile at the corner of his mouth, he is really not very good at dealing with women, even if he has seen a lot of big battles in his previous life, and he has met many women in various Vanity Fairs, but it is all an official set of false and wrongful snakes, and there are almost a handful of people who have a relationship in private.

"Miss Jing, isn't it the same thing for you to comfort her and me to comfort her?"

Yang Jing glanced at him with a little meaning, and a helpless smile appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"That'...... Of course, there are still some differences. You should comfort her quickly, I'm afraid it will affect her state when she is waiting for the alchemy. ā€

"But...... All right. ā€

Since it is a two-person alchemy, if something goes wrong with the partner, when the alchemy is done, it will inevitably affect the effect of Cheng Dan. Since there was no excuse for this matter, Ye Zifeng still decided to take responsibility.

With this in mind, Ye Zifeng came to Liu Bingqian's side and smiled slightly: "Bingqian, are you afraid that when you wait for the Dou Dan Conference, you will still be at the bottom?"

Liu Bingqian saw that it was Ye Zifeng coming, and the gloomy eyes in her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she returned to her original appearance.

"Brother rough man, to be honest, the first few times I participated in the Doudan Competition, every time I became someone else's laughing point after dinner, I was already used to these, and I wouldn't be too relieved. However, I just heard that someone told my master, Mu Yun, that if I was still at the bottom this year, I might be disqualified from Leizhou City in the future...... I can't afford to take on such a big responsibility. ā€

Ye Zifeng smiled faintly and comforted her: "Since it is built yƬ, it is only built yƬ, and it has not really been implemented." Moreover, have some confidence in yourself, this time with me, I will not let you be at the bottom, this is the agreement I made with you before I came to participate in the Dou Dan Competition. ā€

Liu Bingqian was stunned for a moment, her face gradually improved, and she looked at Ye Zifeng with some worry.

"However, if you do that, won't it put a lot of pressure on you......"

"Pressure?" A bright smile bloomed at the corner of Ye Zifeng's mouth, he had always given alchemy to the big names in the world before, sometimes if he didn't practice well, he even had to worry about his life, compared to the pressure of the current reputation battle, it was a world of difference.

"Don't worry, this pressure is nothing to me. ā€

Liu Bingqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled coquettishly: "Brother coarse...... I was too hypocritical just now, don't take it to heart, I'm fine. She was able to get Ye Zifeng's personal persuasion, and she was already very happy in her heart, what alchemy and Leizhou City's gains and losses, of course, she had to stand behind.

Ye Zifeng's expression changed slightly, and he gradually turned cold: "But then again, who just now told your master Jian YƬ to cancel Leizhou City's qualification to participate in the Doudan Conference?"

Liu Bingqian sighed and pointed to a son and brother who was a son of a family in the distance. I saw that the man was wearing a white plain brocade robe, with a cyan lychee pattern gentry belt tied around his waist, and at first glance he was a young master from a top family.

"No, the person who mentioned the construction of yƬ just now is him, he is the son of the city lord of Copper Fire City, he is extremely powerful, and he is the runner-up of the last Dou Dan Competition, and he is even more powerful in the first hand of mortal flames. ā€

Ye Zifeng smiled coldly: "If you reach the peak again, it will be just a mortal flame." Bingqian, help me introduce a few other groups of people, know yourself and your opponent, and increase your chances of winning. ā€

Liu Bingqian wanted to reply to him, you don't have a mortal flame yet, but she also understands that Ye Zifeng's strength, even without the help of flames, is far stronger than a half-baked alchemist like Song Shiyun.

"Okay, let me introduce you in general, there are five small cities around Tiandao City, our Leizhou City is one of them, and the other four are ......"

Ye Zifeng replied lightly: "Lingfeng City, Copper Fire City, Qushui City, and Wasteland City. "Since every city contains an element, it's not too complicated to remember.

Liu Bingqian glanced at him with a little appreciation: "Yes, in each of these four cities, Old Ghost Master Muyun selected the most powerful young alchemists in the local area to participate in the competition, and sent out invitations, so there was this Dou Dan Competition." ā€

Ye Zifeng grabbed the keyword and smiled slightly: "So, the people who come to participate in the competition are all young alchemists?"

Although he promised Liu Bingqian to participate in the Doudan Competition before, he has not yet understood some of the basic rules of the event, and now he is like a temporary cramming, and he knows as much as he can know.

"Yes, those older generation alchemists will sit in the hall as judges to evaluate the results of Cheng Dan, generally speaking, it is like this......"

"In general?" Ye Zifeng was slightly surprised.

"Isn't it, the format is different every time, I don't know what it will be like this time, and the old ghost master didn't tell me in advance for the sake of fairness, and made it clear that he wanted me to come over and make a fool of himself. ā€

Liu Bingqian muttered and said, with a slightly dissatisfied look in her eyes, a little disappointed that she did not enjoy the privileges of an apprentice.

At this moment, a crisp and shrill woman's voice suddenly came from the hall.

"Everyone, please be quiet. ā€

The originally noisy human voice, because of this crisp voice, gradually became quiet, because almost everyone present knew that this was the voice from Mu Yun's old ghost, no matter what kind of powerful role he was, the host's face always had to be given.

Today, she is still wearing a plain white robe, but her long hair is coiled, and a silver hairpin with a magnolia flower head is inserted in her temples. As for the chin, it was still the beard that was not too sticky, which made some people who saw the old ghost of Muyun for the first time couldn't help but cover their lips and chuckle.

The old ghost Mu Yun ignored the eyes of the people around him, and smiled loudly: "Everyone, the Dou Dan Competition has always been a heavy event held by our Heavenly Dao City, and today it is our turn to host the Mu Yun Mansion, and I am deeply honored, old ghost." Being able to invite so many alchemy masters is also the face of my old ghost. So below, I will explain what the rules of the Doudan Competition are......"

When it comes to the rules of the Doudan Competition, the young groups from various cities have different expressions, some people prick up their ears to listen, some are lazy and weak, and some are indifferent.

Ye Zifeng pretended to be listening, however, the afterglow of his eyes kept moving back and forth on each contestant's body, observing their actions and behaviors, and sometimes showing a smile.

On the other side, the old ghost Mu Yun smiled faintly and continued: "The Dou Dan Competition is divided into two games, one is five into three, I will give you a fixed alchemy test question, limited to one hour out of the pill, those who overtime and those who refine into slag will be eliminated directly, if they all succeed in refining the pill, then the excellent ones will advance to the next round." ā€

She paused for a moment and smiled mysteriously: "As for the rules of the next round of the Triwizard Tournament, I will explain it separately when the time comes...... Do you have any questions about this first round of the tournament?"

"No problem, let's get started. ā€

"Yes, Lord Old Ghost, we can't wait to advance to the next round of the competition, the top alchemy strength of Copper Fire City will be shown to you by my Hua Shao, and shown to everyone in Heavenly Dao City. The young man in fancy clothes laughed, and his demeanor was especially arrogant.

Although he looks flamboyant on the surface, he is actually not a brainless and arrogant person in his heart.

This Dou Dan Contest has come to many well-known figures in Heavenly Dao City, just to find a powerful alchemist for the sect or family, if he gets their attention and favor at this time, this young man in gorgeous clothes may be able to ascend to the sky in one step and get the opportunity to enter Heavenly Dao City to cultivate permanently.

Old Ghost Mu Yun understood his thoughts, and smiled knowingly: "Since there is no doubt...... Then the Dou Dan Contest will be officially ......!"

"Wait a minute...... I have one more question, old ghost. Ye Zifeng's voice was especially calm, coming from the back row of the crowd, and at the same time, his hand was raised high.
