Just after Jiang Chen had just refined the tenth furnace of elixir, Master Chang Fang and Bai Wanli finally came to Jiang Chen with nervous expressions.

Jiang Chen didn't say a word, he immediately guessed that the qualifying tournament should begin, and then followed the two of them on the kind of giant scorpion they had ridden before, and went straight to a place outside the tribe and galloped away.

This time, after half a month of galloping, the giant scorpion pulled them into a city made entirely of gray stone in the middle of a huge oasis.

This city is much taller than the mulberry city where Jiang Chen was before, and according to the introduction of Lord Chang Fang, half of this city was built in the middle of a giant mountain.

When entering the city, there were many mortal guards guarding the city gate at the city gate. They won't interrogate those who go out, but those who enter the city must take out a white token that is somewhat similar to Jiang Chen's green jade plate given by Immortal Master Yue before and give them to check.

However, when Jiang Chen took out the green jade plate in his hand when he entered the city, the guards respectfully saluted Jiang Chen, and then took out a disc-shaped thing, put Jiang Chen's jade plate on the disc, and after seeing a faint green light emitted on the disc, he immediately handed the jade card back to Jiang Chen with both hands, and then continued to check the white token of Lord Chang Fang and Bai Wanli.

Jiang Chen looked at these guards, although there was no fluctuation of spiritual power on their bodies, but everyone's qi and blood were several times stronger than ordinary people, and it seemed that they had practiced a certain amount of martial arts.

But what made him most curious was the disc that could echo Jiang Chen's token. Although Jiang Chen's green jade plate was different from others, in order to prevent someone from counterfeiting, there was even a precautionary means of disc detection, and the faint spiritual power emanating from the disc made Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at the disc a few more times.

Seeing that Jiang Chen felt strange about the disc in the guards' hands, Master Chang Fang explained to Jiang Chen with a smile: "That refers to the spirit plate, which allows these guards to identify the identities of the immortal masters, and at the same time, it can also prevent someone from impersonating their identities!" ”

"Finger Spirit Disk?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this title, but immediately remembered the place where the center of the disc was sunken, just enough for the jade plate to fall into it, and some small magic circles were carved around the disc, and he instantly understood something, just nodded.

Then, under the leadership of Bai Wanli, Jiang Chen and Chang Fangzhu arrived at a place and transferred to a much more delicate beast cart and continued to walk towards the city. There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, and they come and go non-stop, and this posture is much more prosperous than the mountain valley tribe.

In the crowd of people, most of them are wearing one or two clothes made of animal skins, but the leather is not the same, some also wear some valuable jewelry, and behind these gorgeously dressed people wearing expensive jewelry, there are many sturdy men, all of whom are naked and look quite strong, obviously the identity of the subordinate.

The more the beast cart went inside, because there were too many people and beast carts, Jiang Chen and their cart had to slow down, but immediately afterwards, a team of guards came to clear the path for the beast cart Jiang Chen was riding, which may also be a privilege that monks can have.

However, it took a lot of effort for the beast cart to finally reach a huge square in the center of the city.

This location is just in front of the giant mountain, like a huge beast's mouth, and a brick and stone plaza stands in the position of a huge beast's mouth.

This square covers an area of dozens of acres, and it is said that it is a sea of people, Jiang Chen looked at it at a glance, and there were countless people who continued to come towards the location of the square.

Along the perimeter of the square, there are many shops and crowds. In the middle of the shop, there are some temporary stalls, which are already crowded, and even the rooftops of the houses that can see the square are also full of onlookers. In the middle of the square, there are more people, eagerly talking about something, which seems bustling and lively.

Jiang Chen's eyes were a little straight, and his divine sense just swept at random, and he roughly estimated a number, such a dense crowd, at least there must be as many as forty or fifty thousand people around this square.

The coachman drove the beast cart to the side and waited. Lord Chang Fang took the lead and got out of the car, led Jiang Chen and the others, and walked to a palace-like building on the edge of the square.

This palace is about a dozen zhang high, which is extremely simple and solemn, and is obviously much taller than other buildings around.

And there was a line of guards standing in front of the huge temple gate, guarding it with shining spears, and no one else was allowed to approach it casually.

"Today is the annual merchant competition meeting in the Land of Dunes, so there are several times more people in this 'Stone Terrace City' than in the past. Basically, many people from more than 20 tribes in the south of me will come here, one to compete for the ranking with the help of this conference, and then they can take this opportunity to go to the stone Taicheng to purchase, and sell some things in the tribe by the way, which is also a trading opportunity for other small tribes by default in the major cities, and at this time, you can trade some rare items that you can't usually buy in Taicheng. Master Chang Fang walked forward as he turned back and explained all this to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen just replied to Lord Chang Fang with a smile, and silently followed him to the front of the palace.

Lord Chang Fang stepped forward and said a few words to the guard guarding the door, and the guard waved his hand to signal that they could go in, so Lord Chang Fang hurriedly greeted Jiang Chen and Bai Wanli and walked in together.

As soon as I entered the temple gate, the temperature dropped a lot in an instant, and it was much cooler than the hot scene outside. In the corridor behind the door, there were nearly a hundred people who seemed to have some status, whispering something in groups. Seeing the arrival of Lord Chang Fang, they all looked over with some vigilance.

But then, the brown door at the other end of the corridor opened, and out of it came a long-robed scribe in his thirties, who had a delicate face and a long fan, but was out of place in the environment.

"It's Master Changfang, right? That's not bad! Since all the families are together, in addition to the immortal masters of each family, please wait here for the masters and people of each family, and only all the Taoist friends can enter later! The scribe in the long shirt glanced at Jiang Chen kindly, and then said politely to Lord Chang Fang and the rest.

The cultivation of the scribe in the long shirt was undoubtedly revealed under the sweep of Jiang Chen's divine sense, and there was a consummation of the body refining realm, which was the same as the realm he is now.

Seeing this, Master Chang Fang had no choice but to glance at Jiang Chen with expectant eyes, and then stepped aside in his mouth.

Jiang Chen's expression followed the long-robed scribe into the brown gate as usual, and then the gate was immediately closed, and there were about two dozen people with him.

"Is Daoyou from the outside world? Oh! Don't misunderstand, my surname is Shang, you can call me Shangshan, I am a deacon in the city of Shitai, and I have been responsible for the arrangement of the business qualification competition conference for many years. A handful of Jiang Chen entered the gate, and the scribe in the long shirt pretended to wait and turned around and asked with a smile.

"In Xia Jiang Chen, the land of sand dunes that I only arrived in last month!" After this period of practice, Jiang Chen has mastered the language here, and there is no problem in communicating with others.

"Hehe, Zai Xia is really envious of Daoyou, he can freely serve as the guardian of a tribe, unlike Zaixia, since he entered this land of sand dunes, he has been living here, and he has never left here." The scribe of the long shirt said with some envy.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen chuckled and did not answer.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was reluctant to talk, the long-robed scribe could only shake his head and lead everyone straight away, and soon arrived at a rotunda, in which there were seven monks with different expressions, sitting or standing.

"Looks like everyone is here. Let's start the lottery right away! In a decisive battle, the elders will decree that the merchant qualification competition meeting will only allow people to injure and not kill, otherwise they will be disqualified from winning. One of the seven monks with different expressions said briefly.

Jiang Chen didn't dare to probe with his divine sense, but based on this guess, the eagle-eyed old man seemed to be the monk in charge of this matter.

As soon as the scribe entered the hall, he hurried to the side and stood behind him with his hands behind his back.

The old man ignored the long-shirted scribe and took out a cyan jade cylinder containing more than twenty bamboo sticks.

"Okay, there are new Daoists here, let me first introduce the rules of this competition, I have been assigned six qualifications to trade with six Taicheng merchants this time, and two of these six places can obtain the qualifications to trade with Pleiades City at the same time. However, since Yuan Daoyou of the Shanyuan tribe had made a contribution to the war with the ghost party a year ago, this time the Shanyuan tribe can directly obtain one of the places, and the rest will depend on the lottery groups to be challenged in each of your tribes, and the same number will be divided into a group, and the winner will be eligible to continue to the next round. ”

After the eagle-eyed old man finished speaking, he looked at one of the people sitting on the side, it was a thin old man wearing a bamboo hat, only to see him look at the eagle-eyed old man and nodded, seemingly quite satisfied.

Hearing this, more than 20 people did not have any other objections, but just stared at the jade cylinder in the old man's hand.

And the eagle-eyed old man gestured on the jade tube, and suddenly a blue light instantly covered the jade tube. The divine consciousness of other people was automatically excluded from the blue light.

Although Jiang Chen also wanted to use his divine sense to investigate, his divine sense was strong, and in order to avoid being noticed, there was no need to use means to forcibly break the blue light.

So under looking at each other, Jiang Chen and the other monks took turns to go up and draw bamboo sticks one by one. Jiang Chen casually pumped into the jade tube, and a bamboo stick was taken out by him, and when he turned it sideways, he took a slight look, and it was a strange silver symbol, on which was the text 'four' in the land of the dunes.

Jiang Chen's face was expressionless, and he put away the bamboo stick in his hand, looking as if nothing had happened.

"No. 1," the old man said coldly.

Suddenly, two monks with the same bamboo sticks in their hands walked out.

"You go to the platform over there to compete, there is a formation there, and you are not afraid of the destruction of the spell. As long as you can get the opponent's bamboo stick and hand it to me or let them leave the platform, you will win. Of course, you can't hurt people. The old man spoke a little unceremoniously.

"Yes, Senpai!" The two men saluted the old man and walked towards the open-air platform looming behind the hall.

As a result, after a burst of white light lit up on the platform, the two disappeared.

After about a stick of incense, the white light flashed on the platform, and after it was extinguished, the two of them reappeared on the platform a little tiredly.

One of them happily handed the two bamboo sticks to the old man, and the other walked out of the hall in a gloomy manner.

......

"Two," the old man shouted coldly.

Due to the small size of the platform, the battle between the monks was simpler, so the victory was decided very quickly. Even when it came to the second day, the two of them came out of the platform before the time reached half a pillar of incense.
