Chapter 29: The Elixir Conference

"It's this time, time flies so fast. Yuan Chen sighed, then looked at Cheng Zhen on the side and continued: "I don't know how the Cheng Pavilion Master found us?"

After the last meeting in the Treasure Pavilion, although Yuan Chen continued to cultivate on weekdays, he did not forget to learn about some celebrity anecdotes in Yangyan Town, Yuan Chen also had a lot of insights because of this line, after all, in this world, it is not just a simple practice of martial arts to get out of a sunny avenue, if you don't know some of the secret history of the continent or the distribution of surrounding forces, maybe you will provoke some people who can't be provoked by the current realm at all, and you will bring death to yourself, because even if a person who is a genius is against a force or person who is far beyond his own realm, it will be difficult to escape death。

The Cheng Zhen in front of him had always thought that he was a subordinate of the young master of the Shi family, but now he knew that the pavilion master claimed to be this Cheng Zhen was this Cheng Zhen, but the real controller of the Treasure Pavilion was Shi Meng, the young master of the Shi family, and Yuan Chen only knew about it through that incident, but people like Xiao Xue'er naturally didn't know, so this is why Xiao Xue'er was so surprised to see Yuan Chen talking to the legendary treasure pavilion master。

Yuan Chen also doesn't like to be maverick, so he called Cheng Zhen the master of Cheng Pavilion like Xiao Xueer.

"Well, that's right, the purpose of our coming here this time is to wait for you to go back with us to participate in the Spirit Grass Conference in seven days, our Yangyan Town and Qingsu City are still a short distance away, so we have to set off a few days in advance, and then the young master sent me and a few of his men to the Xiao family to pick you up, but the mouth of the Xiao family learned that you have been cultivating on this Yangyan Mountain Range these days, and we knew that after we knew the news, we rushed to this Yangyan Mountain Range as soon as possible. ”

"As for how we found you, it's even simpler, when we first entered the Yangyan Mountain Range, we saw a group of black-clothed killers with heavy expressions, but after all, I have also seen a lot of people, and there are a few people I am familiar with, it should be the people of the Qi family in Yangyan Town, and my spy recently came to report that the Qi family seems to be going to make some small moves against the Xiao family, and after thinking about it, I stopped them and used some small means to learn what happened to you just now, so we rushed over in the direction they said. Cheng Zhen said, in the process of dialogue between the two sides, Yuan Chen can also feel that what Cheng Zhen said should be true.

"Pavilion Master Cheng, do you still know where those killers went later? If so, please ask Pavilion Master Cheng to inform the little girl. Xiao Xue'er looked at Cheng Zhen eagerly, because she was afraid that those killers would not be able to help the two of them and continue to commit murder against the Xiao family.

"You don't have to worry about this Xue'er anymore, I've already dealt with all those people, and this can be regarded as a little help from me to Yuanchen's little guy. Cheng Zhen touched his beard and smiled.

"It's all solved!" Xiao Xue'er also relaxed a lot in her heart.

"However, you can actually deal with more than three Spirit Realm eightfold powerhouses attacking at the same time and repelling them, it seems that you two little guys are not easy. "After all, the people who escaped had three Spirit Realm Eightfolds, and Cheng Zhen knew that these killers who had gone away were definitely not all their strength at the beginning.

Cheng Zhen himself also guessed that there should be one or several Spirit Realm Eightfolds that have been solved, and these killers will flee because they are afraid, but Cheng Zhen, who doesn't know the truth, never expected that Yuan Chen would not defeat the enemy of the Spirit Realm Eightfold before, but the Ninefold.

"Then what do you say now? Yuanchen, do you go back first or just follow me. Cheng Zhen looked at Yuan Chen and asked.

"Hmm······ I still have to go back to say hello to Grandpa Xiao and bring something by the way, after all, it may take a long time to go out this time. Yuan Chen thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, then we can escort you back to the Xiao family first, and then Yuanchen, you can go directly to the gate of the Xiao family to find us. Cheng Zhen said with a smile.

Yuan Chen nodded when he heard it, and then slowly got up and walked with Xiao Xue'er and the others in the direction of the Xiao family.

The residence of Yuan Chen in the outer courtyard of the Xiao family

"Xiaochen should pay attention to safety when he goes out this time, you can now say that you yourself also have a certain ability to judge right and wrong, but you remember Grandpa Xiao's words, don't panic when you encounter everything, you must be calm, this is a world of the jungle When you don't have a strong strength as a foundation, remember not to provoke those powerful existences. People's hearts are not visible, don't believe him wholeheartedly because of some words of this person, except for your absolute relatives and friends, most of the world's words are three points true and seven points false, if you only understand a person's inner life from the surface, then you must suffer in the end··········"

On this day, Xiao Feng told Yuan Chen a lot, many of which were told to Yuan Chen about his previous experience and his own experience in dealing with things, looking at Xiao Feng's serious eyes, Yuan Chen didn't dare to refute Xiao Feng's teachings carefully.

Two hours passed slowly, and Xiao Feng, who had been talking for so long, still didn't feel a trace of tiredness and exhaustion, if it weren't for ·········· Xiao Feng really wanted to keep talking like this or take Yuan Chen down slowly and preach to Yuan Chen with actual experience, but he couldn't anymore, the notice above came down, Xiao Feng didn't know how much time he could spend with Yuan Chen, and it was possible that this time was the last time he met Yuan Chen, Xiao Feng really wanted to continue to accompany Yuan Chen like this·········

Stop.

Xiao Feng looked at Yuan Chen, who was standing in front of him and was pulled up by him little by little, he also felt a lot in his heart, Xiao Feng had no children and no grandchildren under his knees, he had already taught Yuan Chen as his own grandson to protect him, and he had never stopped in the past twelve years, but now he had to let go due to external factors, and even Xiao Feng and others could not accept it for a while.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Feng smiled kindly at Yuan Chen's last and said, "Xiaochen, let's go, remember Grandpa Xiao's words just now, and feel this martial arts world with your heart, although the outside world is very big and dangerous, Grandpa believes that you will be able to break out of your own wonderful." ”

On the official road leading to Qingsu City in Yangyan Town.

Dozens of carriages were rushing towards Qingsu City, and on one of the carriages was Yuan Chen, who had just left the outer courtyard of the Xiao family, and his expression was still a little solemn at this time.

From Xiao Feng's words not long ago, Yuan Chen could clearly tell that there was a trace of something wrong with the atmosphere, but what happened Yuan Chen was not very clear, and this time it was also the first time that Xiao Feng had spoken to him for such a long time, not only his understanding of martial arts, but also his experience and experience in dealing with things, this atmosphere made Yuan Chen have a feeling that Xiao Feng was entrusting the future, and at the same time, it also made his mood very depressed.

"What are you thinking, Yuan Chen?" asked Shi Meng, who was sitting next to Yuan Chen.

"Hmm······ Hmm····· I didn't think about anything, I was just thinking about what the rules of the elixir conference we were going to participate in would be, and if there would be some high-ranking pharmacists participating in the competition, I couldn't guarantee that I would still be able to stand out from the crowd. Yuan Chen silently changed the topic after being asked by Shi Meng, after all, what happened to Xiao Feng Yuan Chen had no way of knowing, and in his impression, Xiao Feng should not leave him.

Maybe it's just Grandpa Xiao's feelings. Yuan Chen thought to himself.

"Well, the rules of the elixir conference are different every year, because the organizer Qingsu Cheng seems to say that if the rules are certain every year, there may be some unscrupulous pharmacists or forces who take advantage of the loopholes in the rules to profit from it, but the ranking system of the conference is generally the same, first put all the contestants together for the top sixty-four selection, and then the top thirty-two, the top sixteen, the top eight, the top four, the semi-finals and the finals. Shi Meng explained.

"After the first game, only 64 people will remain? Yuan Chen was surprised, as far as he could see, there were tens of thousands of participants in each elixir conference, and only sixty-four people could be left in the first batch of screening, what a terrible elimination rate.

Seeing Yuan Chen's surprise and puzzlement, Shi Meng smiled and continued to explain: "Of course, there are many benefits after breaking into the top sixty-four, otherwise how could there be many forces like us desperately looking for pharmacist apprentices or low-level pharmacists everywhere." ”

"Benefits?" Yuan Chen looked at Shi Meng suspiciously.

"Well, the benefit, when the people sent by this force or organization successfully break into the top sixty-four, then the entire cost of this force to purchase the elixir of the spirit herb at this elixir conference will be discounted by eight, and the person who leads the person to break into the top thirty-two is seven folds, the top sixteen is six folds, the top eight are five folds, and the fourth place is four folds, and the top three are three folds, two folds, and one fold. Yuanchen, think about it, if we enter the top eight and get a five-fold discount, we can buy double the spirit grass elixir and return to the Treasure Pavilion, and we still sell it at the original price, then how huge the profit will be after that, and then think about it, if it is four folds and three folds up? This is why a large number of chambers of commerce are looking for pharmacist apprentices who are familiar with medicinal materials and even that kind of rare pharmacist. ”

Shi Meng calmed down his heart and continued: "And why our Treasure Pavilion can stand alone in Yangyan Town all year round, it is also because the people we sent have entered the top thirty-two for three consecutive years, and even once they were able to squeeze into the top sixteen immediately, but because there were some small mistakes in the end, we could only regret to quit, and this year, the people we sent before have already come over the age line, so we can't participate, and I can only forcibly find Brother Yuanchen." ”

After speaking, Shi Meng also hugged his fist towards Yuanchen slightly apologetically.
