As she spoke, Huang Ting rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white wrists, but there was a blood-red mark on her wrist, the color of this mark looked extremely light, but it was real.

Yan Fall's pupils constricted slightly as he looked at the mark, and on this mark, Yan Fall did feel a very familiar aura, which came from the Demon Race.

After a pause, Yan Fall asked, "You said before that most people will be imprinted with this mark when they are born, which means that there will be some newborn babies who do not have this kind of mark?"

"That's right. ”

Rolling down her sleeves again, Huang Ting sighed: "It's just that those babies who don't have a mark, from birth to death, don't have the slightest cultivation talent, just ordinary people." ”

"Hmm. ”

Flamefall also rolled up his sleeves, and his wrists were empty, without even half a trace of imprints.

"Brother Yanfall is really a strange person, it's the first time I've heard of someone who doesn't have a mark, but has such a strong cultivation talent. ”

Huang Ting smiled bitterly, Yan Yan could see a trace of envy in her expression, and sighed in his heart, he was not born in this abandoned land, but was sent by the dovetail teleportation array.

"There are all kinds of wonders in the world, if you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that you don't, maybe there are many people who are relatively low-key, and never show their imprint in front of the world, but the fact that they have cultivation talent, after all, no one will be idle to turn over other people's sleeves, right?"

Yan Yan smiled faintly and said.

"Brother Yancheng is right, and the little girl has been taught. ”

Yanfall waved his hand: "By the way, you haven't said it yet, what's going on with the blood pool?"

Speaking of this blood pool, Huang Ting's spirit was obviously shocked.

"This blood pool is a strange place discovered by the ancestors, and it has been concluded through some experiments of the ancestors. The energy fluctuations contained in the blood pool can inhibit the stimulation of this blood-red mark, thus allowing some people who are limited by the mark and have an extremely slow cultivation speed to speed up their cultivation. ”

"Oh, there's such an amazing place?"

Flamefall was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

"The blood pool is indeed magical, if you don't get the baptism of the blood pool, ordinary people's cultivation to the fourth order is already the limit. If you want to make another breakthrough, it is difficult to reach the sky, the better the innate talent, the greater the bottleneck encountered when breaking through, this curse, it seems that it is born to target this kind of person with higher talent, the hateful demon!"

In the end, Huang Ting's voice carried a hint of hatred.

"So...... You and Huang Bin should have both been baptized in the blood pool?"

Yan Yan stared at Huang Ting, including a trace of purple flame's spiritual power, and unconsciously probed all over Huang Ting's body, this kind of behavior was very impolite for a girl. But in order to verify some facts, Flamefall had to do it.

After some exploration, Yan Cheng raised his brows slightly, and quietly withdrew his spiritual power.

"Yes, among the four major families in Qingling City, each family has a different number of baptisms, and my Huang family only obtained two places in the last baptism, which also caused the two clan brothers who were supposed to break through to fail to get baptism. Limited by the blood seal of the demon race, he stagnated at the peak of the fourth order, and could no longer take a step forward. ”

Huang Ting's tone was helpless.

"Two places, is there a limit to the number of places in this blood pool?"

Flame Fall was stunned.

"Definitely. The blood pool is located in the central part of the forsaken land, where there are countless powerful forces, the blood pool is firmly controlled by these forces, although the overall strength of Qingling City is good, but because the four major families are not very harmonious with each other, the allocated quota is not much. ”

Huang Ting explained.

Lin Feng frowned: "That's it...... So. Does this pool of blood have any other effect besides the effect of suppressing blood marks?"

"Of course, I have the confidence to be able to break through the seventh order before the age of thirty-five, and I also have to rely on the effect of the blood pool, after suppressing the blood mark every time. I would feel as if the potential in my body had been released, and the increase in cultivation speed was quite significant, and according to the elders in the family, with my talent, I would definitely be able to break through like it. ”

Huang Ting looked confident.

"Suppress blood marks...... Increases cultivation speed. ”

Yan Cheng muttered to himself, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, and he hesitated and asked, "Blood pool baptism, what are the conditions for entering?"

"This ...... Brother Yanfall, do you want to enter the blood pool?"

Huang Ting's eyes widened: "With all due respect, Brother Yanluo will not have any effect even if you enter the blood pool, according to family records, there were once elders in the clan who put the younger generations who had no cultivation talent into the blood pool, but in addition to wasting a place, what was the situation when the junior disciples went in and what they were when they came out, although the blood pool was peculiar, it was only effective for those who had blood marks, and it was no different from soaking in water for others." ”

"It only works for those with blood marks? ”

Yan Fall's determination became more and more determined, and he instinctively felt that this pool of blood was absolutely abnormal.

"Huang Ting, how many places are allocated to Qingling City?"

Flamefall asked.

"Fifteen in all. ”

"Fifteen places, why are you only allocated two places in the Huang family?"

Now it was Lin Feng's turn to be stunned, what about the four major families in Qingling City? Since the Huang family, as a member of the four major families, should have the same strength as the other three major families, why did they only have two places? This means that the other three major families have an average of four places allocated to each family, which is twice as many as his Huang family!

"This ......"

Huang Tingqiao's face flushed, and she was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I don't know what's going on, two grand events need to be held before each baptism, and the four major families will use fifteen competitions to determine the attribution of the quota at that time, but in last year's competition, my grandfather was temporarily in retreat, and the only fifth-order pharmacist in the family also disappeared mysteriously, causing my Huang family to lose face in the competition." ”

"Well, I see. ”

Yanfall nodded: "Can you tell me the specific content of these fifteen competitions?"

"I'm sorry Brother Yanfall, there is an agreement between the four major families, unless it is a person in the clan, it is forbidden to know the content of this competition, once it is exposed, not only those who know will be killed. And even the family that revealed the news will be implicated, and will be besieged by the other three families, so ......"

Huang Ting's eyes blinked, this agreement was not a fraud, but Huang Ting said it at this time, naturally she had other thoughts.

"Uh......"

Yanfall was a little helpless. Invisibly, he was put on the spot by this girl, but he was only interested in the blood pool, and he had to rely on the power of the Huang family as much as possible to find out the whereabouts of Xiao Mink and the Jiang siblings, the Huang family, as one of the four major families, should have some connections, and for Yan Cheng, joining the Huang family is not a bad thing.

"If I join the Huang family, what treatment can the Huang family give me?"

Thinking of this, Yan Yan asked.

"...... the treatment"

Huang Ting was thinking about what to say. The door was pushed open, and a hearty laugh sounded from outside the door: "Since Yanfall Xiaoyou sincerely joins my Huang family, my Huang family will naturally treat each other with the highest courtesy, I wonder if a guest elder and a large amount of cultivation resources can satisfy Yanfall Xiaoyou?"

An old man who looked to be about sixty or seventy years old walked through the door, walking with a long sword behind his back. It was clear that the old man was a swordsman.

"Heartless grandpa. How did you get in?"

Huang Ting stood up with surprise on her face.

"Why, old man, I have worked so hard, can't I come here to eat something and drink some wine in the end? Not to mention that with a young talent like Yanfall Xiaoyou, it would be too depressing for me to hide in that small space. ”

After saying this, the old man looked at Yan Fall. Clasp your fists and salute: "Old man Huang Wuxin, the second elder of the Huang family." ”

"Kid Yanfall, Elder Huang should not be so polite. ”

Lin Feng also hurriedly got up and saluted back.

Sitting on the table, Huang Wuxin poured a glass of wine and introduced it in one gulp. Then he looked intoxicated, and it could be seen that he was also a drunkard who was addicted to alcohol.

"Little friend of Yanfall, I haven't been able to show up before, I hope you don't be surprised. ”

After a glass of wine, Huang Wuxin filled Yan Cheng with another glass and said.

"Elder Huang is serious, I felt Elder Huang's breath when I was outside, I'm afraid Qingling City hasn't been very peaceful recently, right?"

Yanfall took the wine glass and drank it all as well.

"Hey, who's to say it's not, there is less than a month left before the next battle for the blood pool quota, and the other families must be starting to get restless. ”

Huang Wuxin sighed slightly, but his heart was terrified, the reason why the family sent him out to protect Huang Ting was because in the early years, he had obtained a mysterious fighting skill, which could make his own breath perfectly concealed, and would secretly mobilize his fighting energy in the process of concealment, as long as someone attacked the convoy, he would definitely be able to hit the enemy hard or even kill him in the first time.

Huang Wuxin asked himself if he hadn't shown any flaws before, but he hadn't sensed it, how could this not surprise him?

"Hmm......"

After pondering for a while, Yan Yan said, "Elder Huang, I am very satisfied with the conditions you said before, but let me join the Huang family...... The kid had a reluctant request. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Huang Wuxin has a very straight temper and won't say those crooked words.

With Huang Wuxin there, Huang Ting naturally couldn't speak, and ate quietly on the side.

"I heard Huang Ting say before that there are a total of fifteen places in Qingling City, and fifteen games are used to determine the ownership of the places, right?"

"That's right. ”

Huang Wuxin nodded.

"So, how many places can the Huang family compete for this year?"

Flamefall asked again.

"This ......"

Huang Wuxin hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, the ancestor of the family has not yet been out of the customs this year, if I can't show up for the competition in a month, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult for my Huang family to fight for a place." ”

"No, grandpa Wuxin, how is this possible!"

Huang Ting raised her head suddenly, and said with a look of disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible. ”

Huang Wuxin shook his head: "The rest of the families all have seventh-order peak ancestors to fight, and if our Huang family ancestor is not there, it means that half of them have lost." ”

After a pause, Huang Wuxin continued: "And the family hasn't recruited a decent pharmacist in the past year, which means that our Huang family will lose all the four duels in the potion, and this place is destined to be occupied by other families." ”

Huang Ting fell silent after hearing this, this news was tantamount to a bolt from the blue to her.

If she can't get the quota, there must be someone between her and Huang Bin whose cultivation is stagnant, and now Huang Ting's strength is at the peak of the fifth order, as long as she is baptized by the blood pool. will definitely be able to break through the sixth order within a month or two, so Huang Ting doesn't want to give up this opportunity, but Huang Bin is still young, and her talent in fighting spirit is higher than her, and for a while, Huang Ting is in a dilemma.

"Elder Huang. Can you elaborate on what these fifteen competitions will be? I promise, as long as you say it, whether you agree to my conditions or not, I will join the Huang family. ”

Yan Cheng asked this question again, and this time he said one more sentence in the back, which was regarded as a reassuring pill for Huang Wuxin.

Huang Wuxin hesitated for a moment: "Since Yanyin Xiaoyou has made a promise, I won't hide it, as I said before, these fifteen rounds of competition." Each round determines the ownership of a place, and the competition will be between the potion field and the martial arts field. ”

"The field of pharmacy is divided into four rounds of competition, in the past, my Huang family had a fifth-order pharmacist, so in these four rounds of competition, I can often win a game, but since the mysterious disappearance of the family pharmacist last year, this place can only be handed over, in the four rounds of the pharmacy competition, each family can send the same personnel to play. One person can also fight four games in a row. ”

"Is a fifth-order pharmacist okay?"

Yanfall asked, on the potion talent Yanfall is not bad. As for the level, since there was not much time to do research in the field of potions in the Heavenly Dove Realm, the level had not improved much, but now that the spiritual power of the Flame Fall had been raised to the early stage of the seventh order, the means of controlling the flames were also quite clever, as long as it took some effort to study the latter changes recorded in the potion notes. I believe that it is not difficult to raise the level to the fifth order.

"Indeed, a fifth-order pharmacist is enough, and the strongest pharmacists of the other three families are only fifth-order, not to mention that the questions in the exam are not refining medicines, but some questions from some classics left over from ancient times. Several major families have similar medicinal backgrounds, so in these four competitions, the four major families generally divide the four places among each family. ”

Huang Wuxin explained.

"Oh, the four competitions are in the potion realm, so the remaining eleven competitions are all in the martial arts realm?"

Yan Cheng had a bottom in his heart and asked again.

"Well, in this martial arts field, when there was an ancestor in the past, it was ironclad to be able to win one, and the ancestors of the other three major families could also win one each, on average, each family will get two places, after four games, the remaining seven competitions will limit the strength, the first four are limited to no more than the early stage of the seventh order of the people to compete, the last three are free to play, and send personnel to play at will, but there is also a rule that in the martial arts, each family has only one appearance per person, including the ancestor. ”

After Huang Wuxin's explanation, Yan Fall's thinking became clear, if the fifteen places were divided equally among the four major families, only three families would be allocated to four, and in the end, there would only be three families, and no one would be convinced by this, and the number of places decided through the competition would undoubtedly be much fairer.

It can be seen that in the past, when the Huang family had pharmacists and ancestors, they could generally get four places in the competition, but now that one person is missing and one person is in retreat, it is already good to be able to get two places.

"The fifteen competitions are roughly like this, Yanfall, you can talk about your conditions. ”

Huang Wuxin looked at Yan Cheng with anticipation.

"Well, my conditions are simple. ”

Yan Yan stretched out his finger: "I join the Huang family, I will help the Huang family get a place in the medicine field, plus a place in the martial arts field, as a reward, I need one of the places to enter the blood pool, Elder Wuxin, what do you think?"

"What?!"

Huang Wuxin and Huang Ting exclaimed in surprise.

Huang Wuxin forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart: "Little friend of Yanfall, do you still have research in the field of medicine?"

"If it's just an answer-based question, I can definitely win a game, and even if I need to make potions on the spot, I have some confidence. ”

Yanfall has the capital to say this.

In terms of the amount of knowledge reserves of potions, Yanfall asked himself that he was not inferior to anyone, even what medicinal materials were needed for the top ten miracle medicines, and how to refine Yanfall was clear, after all, he had a potion notebook that came from the hand of the ninth-order peak medicine Heavenly Master back then.

"Great, little friend of Yanfall, if you can really win these two places, I can call the shots, and one of the places to enter the blood pool is yours!"

Huang Wuxin said excitedly, but soon, he seemed to think of something, and his smile faded: "But Yanfall Xiaoyou, that blood pool is really useless for people who don't have blood marks, I can confirm this." ”

Huang Wuxin was secretly listening to the conversation between Huang Ting and Yan Fall before, and naturally knew that Yan Fall had no blood marks.

"I entered the pool of blood with other meanings. ”

Yan Yan smiled faintly and said.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's rush back to the family immediately, if Yanyou wants to enter the Huang family, he still needs the head of the family to perform a ceremony. ”

Huang Wuxin nodded, since Yan Cheng insisted on going in, he couldn't say anything, after all, if people could really get two places, it would be a big profit for the Huang family, both in substance and in face.

"Good. ”

After eating some more food, the group set off on the road, and since Yan Cheng had been upgraded to the Huang family's "Keqing", he sat in the carriage, but fortunately, the carriage was spacious enough, and the Huang sisters and brothers were not crowded.

"Brother Yanfall, are you a swordsman, a forbidden soul master, or a magician?"

Huang Bin is like a curious baby, asking this and that, in a certain situation, this kid is not even as mature as Jiang Yiming.

"Well, I'm a magician. ”

Flame Fall smiled and replied.

"Magician?"

Hiss......

In the carriage, the three people, including Huang Wuxin, all gasped.

The difficulty of a mage's cultivation in the later stage is obvious to all, and being able to cultivate to the level of a seventh-order archmage in his thirties in this abandoned land is simply appalling if he says it. (To be continued......)
