Chapter 108 Family Ranking Battle
There was no moment of excitement about the Bai family's notice, and immediately on the other side of the city wall, a man dressed in red pasted a notice on the wall.
Immediately the crowd gathered around again.
"How... What's going on, why is the Zhu family also recruiting alchemists above the third order? And the conditions they opened seemed to be more generous than those of the Bai family. The crowd immediately began to talk.
After the people of the Zhu family pasted the notice, another man in yellow and a man in blue came over one after another and posted new notices on the left and right sides of the city wall.
"Both the Huang family and the Lan family have made a move? What's going on, why did the four major families all shoot together, they all got big orders, and they all lacked people? Good guy, the Lan family deserves to be the first family, and this condition is much better than the other three. Everyone sighed.
"Hehe, of course you people don't know, but the news will spread tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at most. My buddy works as an errand in the City Lord's Mansion, so I'm better informed. Let me tell you, the 20-year Maison Ranking Battle is about to begin! A middle-aged man said with a smug face.
"This big brother, don't talk halfway, what is the family ranking battle?" Someone asked.
The middle-aged strong man laughed and replied generously, "Do you know how many pill families there are in Dandu?" Four? Or ten? That's wrong, there are sixty Dandu certified pill families! This family ranking battle is to rank these families, and the four major families that occupy the top four seats all year round are the four famous blue, yellow, vermilion and white families. Now the Lan family is the first, the Huang family is second, the Zhu family is third, and the Bai family is fourth, and the ranking was set twenty years ago. Now that the ranking battle has restarted, I'm afraid that the ranking of the family will be reshuffled. ”
"I see, but what does this family's ranking battle have to do with recruitment? Is foreign aid allowed? Someone asked again.
"Naturally, yes, the connections of the family are also an important part of the family ranking battle. As long as the pill comes out of your house, it doesn't matter if that person is from your family or not, including those who are worshipped. Do you know how to compete in the ranking battle of this family? The strong man looked at the curious eyes around him and said.
"These big brothers, don't sell them, just say it." Someone is getting impatient. Zhan Yue on the side was also waiting for the strong man to explain.
"Urging what, let me moisten my throat." The strong man took out the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, and continued: "Every twenty years, the night will ask my Dandu to buy pills, and the quality of pills ranges from three to seven. No one knows what the elixir needs for the night capital is, so it can't be refined in advance, of course, if you guess it, you're lucky. The successive city lords of Dancheng have inherited the same rules, and this order has been delegated to all the families in Dandu, and at the same time, the family ranking has been carried out. All the families refine the elixir according to the demand of the order, and after refining, they will be submitted to the City Lord's Mansion, and the elixir points of different grades are different. When an order is placed, it is the end of the qualification. ”
"At that time, the ranking of the families was based on the level and quantity of the pills submitted by each family. At the same time, you spent money to buy these pills at night. The strong man added: "This method of the city lord has never defaulted on the order of the night capital. ”
"But....... But what's the use of this family ranking? Someone asked again.
The strong man glanced at the man with disdain and explained, "Not to mention that both the Night Capital and the City Lord's Mansion have come up with good rewards for the top three. It is that the name of the first family is extremely weighty, except for the four great masters of Dan Dao, the first family is the best signboard. Twenty years ago, the Lan family narrowly defeated the Huang family with a small number of points and won the first place. Who knows how much money this title has made the Lan family in the past twenty years. What's more, the four major families have a long heritage, and no one is convinced by anyone, and the family ranking battle is the best opportunity to prove themselves. ”
"I see, thank you big brother for your doubts. However, I heard that the Lan family and the Huang family both have two seventh-order alchemists, while the Zhu family and the Bai family both have only one. It seems that this year, the first family will fall into the hands of the Lan family or the Huang family again. Someone said.
"One more seventh-order alchemist does have a huge advantage, but other stalwart alchemists are also unobtainable, after all, that order still needs a large number of third-order and fourth-order pills. Therefore, the four major families are eager to recruit people, hoping to get more points as much as possible. Someone explained.
"And I heard that the Bai family has been very close to the Venerable Master Jin Dan recently, maybe the Venerable Jin Dan will join the Bai family and become a guest secretary, so that the Bai family will have two seventh-order alchemists, and they may not be at the bottom."
Zhan Yue, who was not far away, frowned when he heard this person's words. "It seems that in addition to the eighth-order Danfang, the Bai family has one more reason to let Bai Zhi marry the Venerable Jindan, no wonder they are in such a hurry to let Bai Zhi come back. The first family, this first title is indeed very attractive. ”
"You're talking about the Venerable Master Jindan who has a very bad reputation? Would the Maison be willing to work with him? Someone questioned.
"What is the bad reputation, the poor character, after all, the Venerable Jin Dan is a seventh-order alchemist. On an equal footing with the patriarchs of the four major families. Speaking of this Bai family, it is really unlucky, when the previous head of the Bai family was a seventh-order alchemist, the current head of the family was only a sixth-order, and when he advanced to the seventh-order, the previous head of the family disappeared, and there is no news so far. The Bai family didn't have two seventh-order positions at the same time. ”
"You said that after so many years, why can't these families produce an eighth-order alchemist? And why don't those eighth-order Dan Dao grandmasters have their own families? An old white-haired man asked.
"How difficult it is for an eighth-order alchemist to break through, the family's experience inheritance is in the first seven orders, so the seventh-order alchemists are continuous, and they can involve the eighth-order realm, but they can only cross the river by feeling the stones. As for why those Dan Dao Sect Masters don't have their own families, what you are talking about is, because the eighth-order alchemists can open up the Dan Dao Sect Mansion, which is one level higher than the family, and they don't look down on the name of this family at all. For example, my city lord of Dandu is Master Changqing, one of the four great grandmasters, although he is named in Dandu, people rarely appear in Dandu, and the deputy city lord is responsible for general government affairs. And Master Changqing's Changtian Medicine Sect is in a secret place, and it rarely appears. There are too many people in the world who ask for help from eighth-order alchemists, and these grandmasters are all annoying, and they are all hiding far away. Someone who is well versed in these histories explains.
Zhan Yue on the side has only gained a lot of Dan Dao secrets from these conversations, and the Secret Dao Dan is worthy of being Dandu. He found someone to ask for directions and walked towards the Bai family's mansion, at this moment, at the back door of the Bai family, many people lined up, all of them came to apply for alchemy assistants. The third-order and fourth-order alchemists, who were rarely seen in other places, were now lined up in a long line, which was quite spectacular. Although the conditions given by the Bai family are not as good as the richest Lan family, the requirements are relatively low, not to mention that the icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow, everyone understands that if the bet on the Bai family is successful, the Bai family will naturally thank them more in the end, and they are also gambling.
