Yuan Tao smiled helplessly and secretly pointed at his companion's brain, indicating that there was something wrong with Qin Shaoyou's brain.
Um?
How can this immortal cultivator be mentally ill?
Qin Shaoyou's horizons were finally opened.
"Look, I told you he wasn't the one who killed me, right?"
"You owe me a thousand contribution points now!"
"I know, I know, I'm not deaf, so don't nag me in my ears all day long!"
Guan Fengzi showed an impatient expression and pulled a long face. In the end, he actually hid aside and sulked.
Yuan Tao no longer paid attention to this person, he coughed lightly, smiled at Qin Shaoyou and said:
"Junior Brother Qin can cultivate to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in just three years. His talent is indeed much higher than mine!"
"Senior brother is so complimentary."
At this moment, a familiar figure walked out of the woods in the distance.
"Hey, Junior Brother Qin, why are you here?"
The visitor was dressed in green clothes and had black hair like a waterfall. He was looking at Qin Shaoyou with surprise on his face.
"Senior Sister Bai?!"
Qin Shaoyou was overjoyed, and both of them smiled knowingly.
"Am I not here to return Senior Sister's things?"
Qin Shaoyao said, preparing to take out the Prisoner's Sky Mirror.
Bai Xiyao pouted, but quickly returned to smiling.
"There's no rush to return the things. You'd better go to Mingli Hall with me to hand in the task first!"
With that said, she was about to pull Qin Shaoyou away.
At this time, Yuan Tao, who had been observing from the side, rolled his eyes, stepped forward and blocked the way of the two of them.
"Senior Sister Bai and Junior Brother Qin, I have a small suggestion. I wonder if you two are willing to listen to it?"
The two couldn't help but stop.
Qin Shaoyou asked:
"What do you want to say?"
"It's like this. I just heard that you two are going to Mingli Hall to hand in a task, so you will naturally get a lot of contribution points."
"In that case, do you two want to increase this contribution point?"
Bai Xiyao looked at him carefully.
"What do you mean? Why can't I understand you?"
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he glanced at Guan Fengzi thoughtfully, as if he had guessed what this guy was thinking.
"Do you want to take advantage of the Alchemy Conference to set up a bet?"
Yuan Tao didn't expect that his thoughts would be seen through, and he was really surprised and happy.
All the real people have heard about this kind of secret bet, but it is not a big deal. It is just a small fight between the same disciples at most, so they will not interfere too much.
Yuan Tao said meaningfully:
"Junior Brother Qin is indeed very talented. Yuan indeed has this idea!"
"A few of us are working together to bet on whether Junior Brother Qin can enter the top three!"
In fact, as early as a year ago, he intentionally or unintentionally started spreading rumors that Qin Shaoyou was "very strong". In fact, it was just to bet with the people around him whether he killed the monster or not.
But just now he thought about it carefully and realized that it was too slow to obtain contribution points in this way. It would be better to directly recruit the owner to join the team and make everyone rich together.
Qin Shaoyou's strength is still in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. In his opinion, such a level of cultivation will definitely not make him into the top three.
But many people don't know about this. He may be able to take advantage of this information gap to make a lot of money.
Even if Qin Shaoyou really has the strength to enter the top three, if he is now included in the gang, if he "loses" on purpose, wouldn't they be able to get rich?
No one would refuse such a costless thing.
"snort!"
"How can a mere few thousand contribution points compare to the rewards for the top three in the Alchemy Conference?"
"Junior Brother Qin, ignore him, let's go!"
Bai Xiyao looked disdainful.
However, Qin Shaoyou showed a meaningful smile.
Naturally, he wants to take the top three rewards, and he also wants to seize this opportunity to make a fortune.
All in all, it’s just four words: I want them all!
"Senior sister, please be patient. I think what this senior brother said is not unreasonable!"
"But since we want to play, let's play big!"
————
Seven days passed in an instant.
"Buzz~"
The melodious bells sounded slowly, accompanied by the morning glow, kicking off the alchemy conference.
It has been a long-standing tradition of the Yuan Ling Sect to hold an alchemy conference every sixty years. This rule was set by Ye Feng, the founder of the Yuan Ling Sect three thousand years ago, and it has not changed until now.
There are stipulated quotas for participating in each alchemy conference. In addition to the seven real people who can each send two direct disciples, the ordinary inner sect disciples of Mingli Hall can also have fourteen quotas.
However, there has always been an exception in previous years, that is, Master Kaiyang did not have direct disciples in his name, so these two places were given to Minglitang.
Twelve direct disciples and sixteen inner sect disciples competed on the same stage. Within the specified time, they used the specified alchemy furnace and spiritual grass materials to refine the elixir. Finally, the number, speed and speed of the elixir refined by each disciple were determined.
Ranking based on the quality of the finished pills.
Things that we have become accustomed to are unexpectedly exceptional this time.
Because Master Kaiyang, who had not accepted a disciple for hundreds of years, somehow accepted a new disciple three years ago.
And this time, he will undoubtedly participate in the alchemy conference.
Therefore, Mingli Hall, which originally had sixteen places, now has fifteen places.
After hearing the news, these inner sect disciples inevitably had some criticisms.
"This guy named Qin Shaoyou has been very popular recently, I heard!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's not the case!"
"I heard that he killed a third-level monster a year ago!"
"Tch, your news is out of date too early! The latest news is that Qin Shaoyou's cultivation has encountered a bottleneck. I'm afraid that even if he participates in the alchemy conference this time, it will be a waste of places..."
"In that case, you might as well give this spot to me!"
"that is...."
I don’t know where these people got the news from, and how knowledgeable they are.
After waiting for a while, the noise in the crowd gradually died down, and everyone looked at the sky everywhere in unison.
Seven streams of light flew from the direction of the seven floating islands almost at the same time, and closely behind them were the direct disciples participating in the alchemy conference.
Qin Shaoyou's sword was hanging in the air, standing ten feet behind Kang Xingliu.
He raised his eyes and looked around, and saw many familiar people, and Bai Xiyao was suddenly behind the leader Xiao Jian.
Seeing Qin Shaoyou's gaze coming towards him, she naturally looked over. Her slender black eyelashes trembled slightly, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she pursed her lips and looked away.
Her collarbones were white and flawless, and her white clothes were as light as clouds, which really amazed him.
"All disciples, step back a few feet to protect your luck and don't be shocked!"
Xiao Jian gave an order and all the disciples retreated backwards.
Then, the Seven Saints of Yuanling, headed by Xiao Jian, pressed the magic formula almost at the same time, and seven terrifying pressures descended on everyone. Although this pressure was unintentional, it still made many disciples feel scared.
The bodies of the seven real people are blooming with blazing spiritual fire, like eight suns of different colors!
Transforming spiritual power into armor is the symbol of a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage.
These spiritual fires burned stronger and stronger, and finally turned into seven dazzling light pillars, gathering together in the sky above Chaoyang Road.
The violent spiritual power entangled and strangled together in an instant, and the space where the light pillars converged was continuously compressed and distorted. After a while, this space was finally unable to withstand such majestic energy, and it shattered inch by inch like a mirror!
