Chapter 40: The Estrangement Fades

Each floor of the huge ring-shaped building has regular and neat windows and lookouts, the dark cyan wall skin gives people a sense of stability and thickness, and there are all kinds of lifelike elixir statues on the high ring-shaped wall, if you know the goods, you will be surprised to see these statues, and the walls of this huge ring-shaped building have almost carved all the types of six-grade elixirs.

These shocking scenes will make everyone involuntarily sigh that Qingsu City, the hometown of elixirs, is worthy of its name.

In a vacant space in front of Yuanchen on the left, there are many people gathered here at this time, everyone is talking as if they are discussing something, Yuanchen walked forward curiously, and found that there was a big dark green sign in front of everyone, which wrote some introductions about the inner city of Qingsu, the specific role of related buildings, the location of the competition, The history and culture of Qingsu City even have a top-down view of the entire Qingsu Inner City on the plaque, and the roads leading to various places in the city are also marked with many signs, all of which are clearly expressed by this sign.

Yuan Chen also expressed a trace of curiosity about the inner city of Qingsu that he had never visited, so he also watched the information on the card with everyone.

From the card, Yuan Chen learned that the giant ring building in front of him at this time was the competition site of the Elixir Conference, and what surprised Yuan Chen the most was that there were five of these giant ring buildings, and four of them surrounded the relatively small ring building inside in a surround way, and each huge ring building was connected by a huge suspension bridge between two and two.

The size of the suspension bridge of the link is even beyond Yuan Chen's imagination, according to the notice board, even if there is a carriage running on the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge will not have the slightest shaking, although it sounds a bit exaggerated, but in fact, the suspension bridge of this link will really be very stable.

Although the four huge ring-shaped buildings on the periphery are the competition sites of the Elixir Conference, these buildings are just to accommodate the large number of good and bad contestants, in fact, there is only one real competition venue, which is the slightly smaller ring-shaped building surrounded by the four ring-shaped buildings, which is the competition site that will bring a real visual feast to the audience.

There is only one requirement for participants who want to come to this tournament to compete, and that is to enter the quarterfinals.

Although there are also a lot of spectators in the four major regions on the periphery, after all, the last competition venue simply cannot accommodate such a terrible number of spectators, but in the real sense, those famous and powerful people are sitting in the audience seats in the last competition area, and most of their purposes are different, but there are also common goals- That is to dig deep into the genius, every year the elixir conference will have one or two dark horses emerge, they do not have any pharmacist-related background and no support from the big family chamber of commerce, but simply have a very high talent for the elixir elixir, but this kind of person will make countless real chambers of commerce, pharmacist guilds and even some secret families accept as important members or disciples to be cultivated by the forces where they are.

After all, the contestants who do not enter the top eight are not attractive to those big forces, so this kind of viewing situation is also the difference between the ticket price of the outfield competition area and the infield competition area, and the ticket price of the outfield competition area can be said to be purchased by everyone, and only one copper coin can buy a ticket to go to the game site to watch, and the ticket price can be seen even for those poor ordinary people who are not rich in hand, because even these poor ordinary people have ten copper coins a day in the cityIt is even possible for the whole family to watch the game in the past.

Of course, if you think that there are many people at the game site, you can not choose to go to the real game site to watch, on the day of the elixir conference, the inns, restaurants, and chambers of commerce in the whole city of Qingsu City will broadcast live in the form of spiritual power projection, of course, this is also because Qingsu City has the existence of a strong person in the spiritual realm, and there will be a luxury of spiritual power projection, which is not available in ordinary towns or even ordinary cities.

But the central competition area is not comparable to the four major regions on the periphery, each ticket here not only requires you to pay the price of 50,000 gold coins, but also the specific identity of which force and which family you come from, the official will also specially appoint someone to come to inquire and verify, so the identity information of everyone in the audience who enters the central area Qingsu City is completely mastered, which also relatively excludes some suspicious people and potential safety hazards, and prevents someone from deliberately sabotaging the normal progress of the Qingsu City Elixir Conference.

"Yuanchen, don't be stunned somewhere, and Yunxi, you two come over here first, the three-story small attic diagonally opposite us now is the registration and licensing office for this elixir conference. Just as Yuan Chen was shocked by the building in front of him, Shi Meng, who was not far away, shouted loudly.

Hearing Shi Meng's shout, Yuan Chen also slowly recovered from the shocked state just now, and Yunxi, who was not far away, also came back from a temporary gambling game.

Looking at the two people who came to him, Shi Meng patted the shoulders of the two, smiled and said: "This elixir conference may be the one with the largest number of contestants in history, you have to calm down, even if the final result is unsatisfactory, it doesn't matter, try your best to do everything, the day before yesterday we had several times more elixir transactions in the drug gambling activity than in previous years, even if we don't compete for the ranking in the conference and can't get a discount, we won't lose." Shi Menglang said with a smile.

"To be honest, Brother Yuanchen, I, Shi Meng, have gone through some things that happened the day before yesterday, and I have thought about it a lot, I honestly say that a while ago I really didn't believe in Brother Yuanchen's pharmacist apprenticeship, and I didn't care if my brother was a pharmacist apprentice, I just used to use my brother, hey, but there was no business or treachery, I used to only consider it for the overall interests of the Treasure Pavilion and the Shi family, and I felt that I was not doing well in the Shi family, but when I saw the Lu family, which was also the strength of the family, I suddenly figured it out. ”

Shi Meng paused and continued: "If I still calculate people like before, calculating and calculating is just one or two times of business, to be honest, my business will not last long, and it is destined to be unable to surpass the imperial capital Lu family to avenge my last revenge, some people I can calculate and trade, but some people I can't treat in the same way, so I can't go far." ”

"I'm not afraid of Brother Yuanchen's jokes when I say this, whether you are an apprentice pharmacist or not, just say that you have a talent for analysis and gambling that day, I can't underestimate you, I dare not guarantee anything else, but I still believe in it as a businessman, I believe that Brother Yuanchen's talent is not only in that little Yangyan Town, it should be regarded as my Shi family's investment in my brother, I have calculated that I am not worthy of being my brother's brother, but I hope that we can become friends, if one day in the future my brother is developed, I hope to bring my brother more, hahaha." 。 ”

Listening to Shi Mengyu's words, although he still spoke in the standard businessman's tone, but this time Yuan Chen saw that trace of sincerity in Shi Meng's eyes, his words, expressions, and actions may be deceitful, but no matter how deep a person is in the realm of skill, his eyes will not deceive when he seriously says something.

Therefore, Yuan Chen can feel that what Shi Meng said today is indeed true, even if Shi Meng doesn't say today's words, Yuan Chen knows that Shi Meng is using himself to help him, of course, the previous Yuan Chen also understood in his heart that the participation in this elixir conference may be regarded as the end of the connection between him and the Shi family, and then if Yuan Chen has no accidents, he may not have too much intersection with the Shi family in this life, but today's Shi Meng has a sincere passage, which is also about the estrangement between Yuan Chen and Shi Meng has melted some, Yuan Chen knows that Shi Meng said this paragraph is just optimistic about his talent and the investment he made in his future, but the current Shi Meng is at least much better than before, at least he will not have murderous intentions because of his ineffective work.

"What Brother Shi Meng said, in this cruel world, people don't kill for themselves, but there are not many people who can do it without hesitation like Brother Shi Meng to say what they think in their hearts, I think no matter what role a person plays in the world, as long as he is worthy of his heart. Yuan Chen said with a faint smile.

"Good, good, good one is worthy of the heart, and the world can really be worthy of the heart and geometry. Shi Meng sighed, and Yunxi on the side also seemed to think of something, some of the thoughts that had plagued him in the past few days were gradually clarified in Yuan Chen's words.

"Okay, you young people, how long do you have to talk outside the door, and if you don't queue up to get the number plate, you won't be able to enter in time. At the door of the attic with the number plate not far ahead, Cheng Zhen beckoned to Shi Meng and the others.

"Brother Shi Meng doesn't have to worry too much, if things are going in that good direction, he will naturally get what Brother Shi Meng thinks in the future, brother, you say yes. Yuan Chen said.

After hearing what Yuan Chen said, Shi Meng could feel that Yuan Chen still had a problem with him in his heart, but it was much less than before, at least if this continued, the two might really become good friends in the future.

Thinking of this, Shi Meng also smiled heartily: "What my brother said is the same, then we won't talk about this anymore, now it's important to do business first, Uncle Cheng has already helped us rank the number position, you two can go in with me now to get the number plate." ”

"Okay. Yuan Chen and Yunxi said in response.
