The alchemy conference was held in the super square in front of the Lord's Palace of Sky City.
On this day, at dawn, Su Xuan could not wait to come to the door of Zhang Li's room. For a whole month, there was no news about Zhang Li. This made Su Xuan very worried. She was afraid that if Zhang Li happened It would be bad to sink into a certain state and lose track of time.
Su Xuan was about to push the door open when the door suddenly opened with a creak. Zhang Li appeared in front of Su Xuan neatly and refreshed. He had a faint smile on his face and said nothing. He just looked at Su Xuan calmly.
"Today is a very important day, but you brat looks very calm." Su Xuan was surprised and said slowly with a slightly teasing tone.
Zhang Li sniffed and didn't care, then smiled lightly and said: "Sister Xuan, let's go to the square right now."
There was no way he could forget today, this extremely important day. It was about Shangguan Ziyu and Tong Yanni. Zhang Like remembered it clearly and took this alchemy conference more seriously than anyone else.
Su Xuan looked at Zhang Li's extremely firm and upright back. She originally wanted to ask him how his alchemy training was going, but in the end she didn't ask. After a pause, she immediately followed Zhang Li and quickly walked out of the city. We arrived at the mansion and arrived at a super large square with a radius of about 10,000 feet.
Because the alchemy competition requires several rounds of competition and takes a long time, so early in the morning, people sent by the city lord's palace and the Dai family had already arranged the 'competition venue'. Zhang Li looked around and found that the square There are no less than three thousand 'grids' arranged densely, each grid is about one foot in diameter, and is equipped with a quite neat stone platform, which can just accommodate a contestant to perform as much as possible without affecting the impact of the competition. neighboring contestants.
Three thousand 'competition slots' are criss-crossed and numbered, from 'one' to 'three thousand'. They are surrounded by a circle of high-rise 'judgment platforms', and you sit on it. The judges were able to have a panoramic view of all the contestants' movements.
"Sister Xuan, there are three thousand positions. How can the Sky City have so many alchemists?" Zhang Li couldn't help but turned to Su Xuan in confusion and asked.
Su Xuan immediately explained: "How is it possible? Alchemists are so rare and noble. It is impossible for there to be three thousand alchemists in the entire Witch Fairy Wilderness. This alchemy conference is not only open to alchemists, as long as you want to participate , you can participate by signing up according to the normal process, there are no special restrictions, and the Alchemy Conference is an advanced competition system, and most of the participants will be eliminated in the first round."
Zhang Li was suddenly enlightened when he heard this, and soon he saw more and more cultivators pouring into the square. In less than one stick of incense, the square was packed with people. Fortunately, he did not participate in the competition. The spectators can fly in the air outside the square on their own, otherwise, the entire square will probably be crowded.
Su Xuan suddenly and quietly said to Zhang Li: "Zhang Li, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, I have to return to the team in the City Lord's Mansion now. Everything is up to you."
Zhang Li nodded and gave Su Xuan a "reassured" look, and then Zhang Li slowly walked into the team of cultivators participating in the competition.
Not long after, the audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause. Every cultivator turned their eyes very respectfully and enthusiastically to the 'judgment stand' at the highest point of the square, where there was an old man in a green shirt with a long beard. Waving to all the cultivators, Zhang Li slowly stood on the main judging platform with a smile. Zhang Li immediately recognized that the old man in green clothes and long beard was the number one alchemist of the Sky City, Dai Shan.
Then the whole place immediately became extremely quiet, and only Dai Shan said loudly: "Everyone, please be patient. We will start immediately when the Lord of the City arrives in person." Not long after his words fell, a hearty laugh came from the Lord of the City. A message came out from the government: "You're welcome, Mr. Dai. For such a grand event, you should obey Mr. Dai's orders."
Another strong, white-haired, boy-faced old man, with invisible majesty, soon appeared on the main judging stage. This old man was none other than the city lord of the Sky City, Tang Xiaotian. After he stepped onto the main judging stage, he smiled and smiled. Shan said a few words, and then flew to the center of the five benches that had been suspended in mid-air in front of the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
After Tang Xiaotian slowly sat down with a compelling dignity, three figures quickly flew over from the three chairs on both sides. They greeted Tang Xiaotian very politely and then sat down. These three people were obviously from the Dongfang family. The head of the family, Dongfang Hongzhi, the head of the Anni family, Anni Miechen, and the head of the Qin family, Qin Huang, and the last remaining chair was undoubtedly prepared for the Duanmu family. Unfortunately, the Duanmu family has fallen, and the empty chair has become a decoration.
The four people sitting there looked extremely conspicuous and abrupt, but no one dared to object. These four people already represent the strongest lineup of the Sky City, all of them are at the ninth level of Qiyuan Realm. Among them, Tang Xiaotian and Dongfang Hongzhi have reached the peak of the ninth level of Qiyuan Realm, while Yan Wuchen and Qin Huang are slightly behind.
However, anyone who really knows the Qin family knows that there is also an unfathomable 'crazy old man' in the Qin family, who is the number one master of the Qin family.
"Everyone, listen up. Now the four masters will throw the 'lots' into the air. Each of you will grab one to become your own number, and then take your seat in the 'grid'." Dai Shan's clear and powerful voice suddenly came again. Rings.
Zhang Ligang turned his attention to the four masters again, and suddenly he heard a very disdainful and arrogant voice coming from his ears: "Lv Zhang, I advise you to just give up, otherwise, when you get to the competition stage, you will just You will make a fool of yourself, hahahaha.”
Zhang Li turned around and saw that it was Dongfang Chaoqun. He frowned and said nothing, but suddenly focused on the other two figures in the group of cultivators competing for the test.
Two figures, one red and one black, were very close to each other. Zhang Li sensed in an instant that the soul power of these two people was also very powerful, almost completely superior to Dongfang Super Group. The cultivator in red was a young man, and his face was almost weak. He looked pale and seemed completely malnourished at first glance, but Zhang Li knew very well that it was by no means weak, but a result of the special soul power.
The cultivator in black is a middle-aged scholar with a tall nose, which is quite comparable to that of the Lianjian. However, his appearance is far from the handsome Lianjian. This person was born with a pair of 'Eagle Eyes' and a sharp light. It leaks out from time to time and seems to penetrate people's hearts.
When Dongfang Chaoqun saw that Zhang Li didn't care about him, he was a little angry, but he suppressed it and thought viciously in his heart: "I will definitely make you lose face later, get out of the alchemy conference, huh."
At this moment, the four masters suddenly threw out the 'lots', and three thousand black jade tokens, like an army of locusts, filled the sky above the entire square in an instant.
The four masters also deliberately showed off their powerful cultivation. After throwing out the three thousand black jade tokens in an orderly manner, they controlled them to stop steadily in mid-air. Then, the three thousand participants flew into the air and began to fight. Grab the black jade token.
Almost all of these cultivators knew Dongfang Chaoqun, and without even bothering Dongfang Chaoqun to set out, someone had already rushed to snatch the jade plaque No. 888 to Dongfang Chaoqun, while No. 8 and No. 88 also fell into the hands of the young man in red and The hands of the middle-aged man in black.
Zhang Li didn't move because he didn't want to rush to expose himself in front of the four masters. He needed more time to observe and then adopt corresponding strategies. When everyone had almost grabbed it, Zhang Li quietly flew up and took it. I picked up a No. 444 black jade token that no one wanted to hold, and then quickly found the No. 444 'square' and landed firmly in it.
Dongfang Chaoqun in the distance, with incomparable contempt and ridicule, waved the jade plate No. 888 to Zhang Li very arrogantly. Zhang Li's expression did not change, he just looked at Dai Shan on the referee's table quietly. .
Dai Shan saw that all the contestants were already in their positions, so he said loudly: "The first round of competition begins now. The content of the competition and the power of fire. You can see the stone platform in front of you. The surface of this stone platform is a very thin layer." The 'Ink Stone', now use the flames you each have to completely burn this layer of 'Ink Stone'. The time is thirty breaths. Cultivators who cannot be burned within thirty breaths, or cannot be burned completely, will be eliminated. "
Before Dai Shan finished speaking, nearly three thousand clusters of flames suddenly lit up in the entire square, instantly raising the temperature in the square to an extremely hot level.
Zhang Li also immediately released an extremely rare amount of 'blazing green fire' and began to burn the 'ink stone'. He controlled the intensity very skillfully, so he was not too high-profile. And just because he is not high-profile, it does not mean that others are not high-profile. Among the thousands of clusters of flames, there were three that were particularly domineering and wild. It only took less than five breaths to completely burn the ink stone.
The numbers of the owners of these three flames were exactly No. 8, No. 88 and No. 888. As a result, almost all the eyes of the onlookers were cast on these three people. However, Zhang Li took his time and just finished his thirty breaths. Before doing so, burn the ink stone completely.
Zhang Li's performance made the contempt and ridicule on Dongfang Chaoqun's face even more obvious and unscrupulous. He even shook his head and sighed at Zhang Li.
Zhang Li still ignored the "two hundred and five", and just glanced at the young man in red No. 8 and the middle-aged man in black No. 88, and then spread his consciousness to the entire square.
Zhang Li was immediately surprised by this spiritual consciousness inspection. Half of the three thousand people participating in the competition were gone at once. He shook his head, wondering what the eliminated cultivators were thinking. , just to go through the first round of cutscenes?
Dai Shan's voice soon sounded again: "The second round of competition, purification of fifth-grade medicinal materials, no matter what kind of fifth-grade medicinal materials you refine, you need to take out your purified medicinal powder within the prescribed time of one stick of incense. In the competition, only the top 300 will be selected. Those who do not have fifth-grade medicinal materials can get them from the special medicinal materials department in the City Lord's Mansion."
There was a crashing sound, and almost more than a thousand cultivators chose to go to the city lord's mansion to collect fifth-grade medicinal materials. Zhang Li was speechless again. At the same time, Dongfang Chaoqun's contemptuous and arrogant eyes glared at Zhang Li again. Coming over, Zhang Li still chose to ignore it, and then after Dai Shan said "start", he slowly began to extract the powder of the fifth-grade medicinal materials.
No one noticed that in one of the cells not far behind Zhang Li, a mysterious cultivator in gray clothes with his face half-covered was purifying medicinal materials while casting his eyes vaguely on Zhang Li.
