Faced with the ever-changing situation in the square, the most nervous person is not the Qianhuan Sect with unfathomable strength, nor the Guihua family whose strength has been weakened repeatedly, nor the Yao Sect, which was originally scattered but has now condensed.
Pharmacists and many other forces.
The person who is most anxious and uneasy is Xuan Hong, the king of the Xuanwu Empire. This king, who wants to reap all the benefits, is extremely anxious at this time, but he does not dare to say a word to anyone.
He is in the most embarrassing position. The internal fighting in the Xuanwu Empire and the external intervention forces are all caused by him in all likelihood. The reason is that he does not have the ability and strength to turn the tide and can only rely on external forces.
By muddying the waters of the Xuanwu Empire, he had a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Xuan Hong is now like a person walking on a tightrope across an abyss. Every step he takes is extremely dangerous, and any slight mistake will lead to catastrophe.
One thing that made him feel even more depressed was that during the testing process just now, he discovered something special about this formation. In other words, there were some signs that reminded him of what he had accidentally heard his father mention.
Some things about this city defense formation.
"Although this formation can protect our emperor from being invaded, it is also a prison for our Xuan family. If we were not forced into desperation back then, why would we bother to recruit these super noble families' 'overlords'? Now our Xuan family has become
The watchdog of the Xuanwu Empire became the guardian of this formation.
Hey, if the people who built the great formation back then had left us the slightest chance, we wouldn't be as aggrieved as we are now. But they just added formation variables to it to counter me, this damn formation.
Fa, the damn Imperial Formation Crystal."
At that time, Xuan Hong had not yet come into contact with the formation operations of the Xuanwu Empire's city defense formation, and he did not even know what the unfamiliar words "formation, runes, variables, countermeasures" meant. He only knew that these should be said
It has something to do with the formation of the Imperial Capital.
As Xuan Hong came into contact with more and more formations, he found nothing special, and these words hidden deep in his memory were gradually forgotten by him.
However, just at that moment, Xuan Hong remembered all the forgotten past. The key that opened the depths of his memory was the formation in front of him. To be more precise, it was part of the mountain-protecting formation.
A strange fluctuation occurred in the land.
This wave seemed to be absent. Xuanhong, who was not in the God Refining Stage, had a brief connection with the formation. He probably couldn't remember his father's words back then. Xuanhong now has some understanding of the formation and runes.
Although he could not fully understand the complex mountain-protecting formation in front of him, he could still understand the general reasons for some special changes.
The changes in the formation come from the forbidden place, and although the reaction in the forbidden place is not strong, it can prove that there is a layer of formation prohibition in it. The prohibition method in this formation is just like the crystal of the formation.
When the formation flew out, the entire formation's formation eyes immediately solidified.
Some large formations are formed by superimposing several small formations on each other, so that once they are in operation, they will interact with each other to achieve a more powerful effect.
In addition, several large formations are connected with each other. When one formation is activated to a certain step, another formation will be activated unintentionally. This is a countermeasure, also known as formation restriction.
Although Xuan Hong didn't know much about the formations involved, but based on what his father said back then, the formation prohibition method should be a means to prevent outsiders from taking away the formation crystals.
When Xuan Hong found out about this important method, he couldn't be in a better mood. You must know that these people were attracted, but few of them were really attracted for the title of medicine man. Basically, they were all for the ancient treasure of the Imperial Formation.
Come.
If this imperial crystal cannot be taken out and the rewards for this competition are cancelled, he will probably be killed by the combined efforts of several angry forces. No matter how high his status is, it will be of no use.
You must know that for the sake of the Crystal of the Imperial Formation, various forces have lost many powerful people. Painters and ghosts have even fallen into second-rate forces. If in the end the Crystal of the Imperial Formation cannot be taken out at all, then everyone will just have to
He will think that this is Xuan Hong's conspiracy, and when the time comes, he will be unable to defend himself.
After discovering the special variables in the formation, Xuan Hong naturally did not dare to say anything, but he became more and more nervous. Seeing that the refining of the medicine below was about to end, no matter who was given the title of Yao Zi in the end, he needed to transfer the imperial formation.
Take out the crystal and give it to the other party.
"Could it be that this Imperial Formation Crystal cannot be used? Apart from this method, I have only one last resort left. But this method is too risky. I am not willing to use it unless it is a last resort!
Why."
There was a slight bitterness in his mouth, and he muttered to himself. It seemed that the "last resort" he mentioned had some hidden dangers. Xuanhong himself had many concerns about whether to use it or not.
While thinking nervously in his heart, Xuan Hong glanced back subconsciously, with a hint of excitement and hope blooming in his eyes.
'Why did you forget this kid? Hehe, if this kid hadn't secretly learned the runes and handprints that I used to control the formation, it wouldn't have aroused my suspicion and attention. Back then, this kid had already learned how to do it.
I'm worried that he is a variable, but now I can let him make the first move on his own, so I don't need to rush into it.'
While thinking in his mind, Xuan Hong slowly retracted his gaze, and unconsciously glanced upward again.
The entire imperial capital's city-protecting formation is still solidifying, but Xuan Hong doesn't know how long it will take for the formation to continue operating. Now that there is a way to solve the restrictions within the formation, Xuan Hong has no idea.
So anxious, he lowered his head and started to look at the medicine refining of several people below.
The two representatives of the Wang family and the Su family are actually not bad at their level. Duan Yueyao is of course a genius in medicine refining cultivated by the medicine sect, while Yao Ling is the direct disciple of Yao Tuozi and the junior disciple of Yao Zhen, the previous generation of medicine master.
However, the Wang family itself has a master of alchemy, Chu Nan. With the guidance of Chu Nan, Wang Yizhen's alchemy skills cannot be inferior to those of the others, but the preparation methods are just a little worse.
Su Yunlong of the Su family is also an alchemist trained by the Su family with all their efforts. Although the Su family does not have an outstanding alchemist like Chu Nan, with its financial resources and influence, it is necessary to cultivate an excellent junior and intermediate alchemist.
It's not that difficult either.
It's not that the two of them didn't use their full strength before, it's just that they didn't come up with all the truly hidden methods. After all, the methods they used had too high a cost.
After receiving the orders from their respective family heads, the two of them did not dare to hesitate any more and started refining with full firepower. The speed of the two was originally faster than Zuo Feng. Even if Zuo Feng used animal fire, the refining at this moment
The progress is still a little slower than the two of them, and the people from the Suwang family are much faster than Zuo Feng in using such terrifying methods.
Su Yunlong's method is to use the power of flesh and blood, the body accumulated in the three stages of body refining, in exchange for potential, and the effects are becoming more and more obvious.
The powerful spiritual energy condensed fire contains the surging power of flesh and blood, which is completely injected into the Crazy Demon Pill. The purpose of this Crazy Demon Pill is to make the person who takes it stronger in a short time. With this power of flesh and blood, the pill's
The potency of the medicine has also become much more powerful.
Even if you carefully observe the Crazy Demon Pill that is about to take shape, you will see that it already contains a thick layer of blood, and there are thick fluctuations of flesh and blood emanating from it.
Even if they couldn't look through the medicine cauldron, many people could still feel the changes in the pills in the medicine cauldron. Among the three old men, the faces of the old men from the Sitong and Yuncai chambers of commerce became extremely ugly.
, they know that it is impossible to award the title of Yaozi to the Gui family now.
After all, the quality of the pills refined by the two people in front of them is already very high. Even if these people present are laymen, they can clearly feel that the quality of the pills refined by the Suwang family is even higher.
Even if the two of them wanted to be partial, they would not dare to call black and white in front of everyone. You can point to a stone and say it is a walnut, but how can you point to a stone and say it is a "high mountain".
The treasure appraiser from Duobao Pavilion was very angry before. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh openly, and gave a cold "hum" to the two people around him.
.
There is a strong sense of dissatisfaction in this, and there is even a hint of ridicule, which seems to say, "Look, I see, no matter how shameless you are, do you still dare to take sides without caring about one side like before?"
The two treasure appraisers blushed slightly, but they did not dare to take offense at all. They also knew that after this incident, the reputation of themselves and their chamber of commerce would be damaged. This was something they had understood before coming here.
Compared to being able to build the largest transit warehouse and transit station for goods exchange in the Xuanwu Empire, they can accept other losses.
Although Su Yunlong of the Su family paid a high price, compared to Wang Yizhen of the Wang family, his efforts seemed insignificant.
As they have clear goals since childhood, as a person trained by an alchemist, cultivation and combat strength are not so important. Therefore, even if the cultivation level drops sharply after refining the alchemy this time, even three body refining
The foundation of the stage is damaged, and the family can try its best to find ways to continue its development, but its combat effectiveness will be worse than that of warriors of the same level in the future.
On the Wang family's side, the price Wang Yizhen paid was too high. What's more important is that Wang Yizhen's expression remains calm, as if she doesn't know what price she needs to pay for her current potential.
In the process of refining the Crazy Demon Pill, his whole body's potential was brought to an extreme, but he could also feel that his body was gradually getting weaker. In fact, this was the loss of his life, and this loss was due to
He was working hard on refining the medicine and didn't even bother to investigate it carefully.
