Everyone inside the venue is busy, and everyone outside the venue is not idle either.
The disciples were whispering to each other and discussing.
"Hey, bro, do you want to play?"
“Place your bet now and you’ll get a gift!”
At this moment, at the edge of the huge square, there was a figure walking back and forth among the disciples. Every time he came in front of a person, he would take the trouble to take out a piece of silk and ask questions.
This person is none other than Yuan Tao.
What he held in his hand was the "Feng Yun Bang" transcribed by Qin Shaoyou.
It lists the names of the thirteen direct disciples who participated in the alchemy conference, and behind each name, there is a number written.
These numbers are large and small, and their arrangement is irregular.
For example, Li Changan is written in the first place above, and the number after him is "two".
But Qin Shaoyou was ranked twelfth, and the number behind it was ridiculously large, it was "eight eight"...
In his words, this is called odds...
Of course, in order to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, he was initially prepared to put his name at the end, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that putting his name at the end was not very good.
What surprised him was that Lu Qingshan, who was almost eliminated as an inner sect disciple by Xiao Jian, also participated in the alchemy conference this time as a direct disciple of Master Tianquan.
When Yuan Tao heard about this "game" for the first time, he was very surprised, but looking at the numbers, he was worried that if he lost, he would lose all his money.
However, Qin Shaoyou patted his chest and told him not to worry, because he had already calculated everyone's odds based on various information he had received before.
As long as the more people place bets, they will surely make profits without losing any money!
In order to prevent everyone from not accepting it for a while, Qin Shaoyou also decided to take out his 5,000 contribution points and give 100 contribution points to anyone willing to place a bet.
This seems absolutely crazy to Yuan Tao.
But when Bai Xiyao also used Yuan Lingyu's contribution points to "invest" in the company, the guy suddenly changed his mind and took out more than 10,000 contribution points that he had accumulated over the years.
What he has to do now is to use his sharp tongue to get everyone to come and place bets.
...
The alchemy conference is in full swing.
As the first disciple of Master Tianshu, Li Changan has always aimed at becoming the next head of Yuan Ling Sect.
In previous alchemy conferences, he has always been the undisputed first place, and this time is certainly no exception.
Even if Zhou Xingyun comes to refine a first-grade earth-level elixir, there is no guarantee that it will be successful, let alone these disciples of the golden elixir realm.
However, Li Changan was not worried about this, because the Void Furnace in front of him actually became a first-grade earth-level one after sensing his cultivation level!
It was not the first time for him to use a first-grade earth-level alchemy furnace to refine a first-grade earth-level elixir.
Therefore, he naturally chose to refine this Green Fire Pill.
Elsewhere, Bai Xiyao, who came from the same school as him, was not in a hurry to refine alchemy, but slowly prepared all the required materials one by one. This step took at least three hours.
But when she was refining one of the elixirs called Black Bird Fruit, she failed several times in succession for some unknown reason.
Bai Xiyao looked aggrieved and anxiously sent a message to ask her senior brother.
Li Changan frowned slightly, but as a fellow disciple, he secretly reminded her of a few things to pay attention to.
Only then did the latter suddenly realize, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Li Changan didn't pay much attention to this, and continued to refine the elixir after calming down.
Time passed minute by minute, the sun had already risen above the head, and the entire Yuan Ling Sect became extremely bright.
Qin Shaoyou wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had actually been paying attention to Li Changan's movements and felt that the time was almost up.
He secretly glanced at the crowd again, and through the previously agreed hints, he knew that the first group of disciples had finished placing their bets.
The betting situation was similar to what he expected. Most people placed their bets on Li Changan, Mo Feiyun, Zhou Muhan and other Jindan realm disciples.
Although the odds for these people are not as high as Qin Shaoyou's, if this is the result, not only will they lose their money, but they will also be in debt.
"Hey hey hey, the show has begun!"
Qin Shaoyou smiled secretly in his heart.
There are many inner sect disciples around him, as well as several direct disciples.
Some of the inner sect disciples have failed several times, and the direct disciples are concentrating on refining the Xuan-level elixir.
Qin Shaoyou hunched over his body, stretched out his long sleeves to shield himself, and threw all the prepared materials into the alchemy furnace.
A muffled sound suddenly came from inside the alchemy furnace.
He immediately jumped back and retreated several feet.
Peng!
After the muffled sound, a thick black smoke erupted from the alchemy furnace, and a pungent burnt smell immediately filled the air. The expressions of several direct disciples who were concentrating on refining suddenly changed drastically.
The smoke was so thick that it blocked their sight!
"who!?"
Several angry scoldings came out from the black smoke, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on Qin Shaoyou.
"Cough cough cough...."
"Sorry, it got mixed up!"
Qin Shaoyou grinned and made a haha, showing his white teeth, and he looked equally unreasonable.
"Qin Shaoyou!"
"If I had known you were a bad guy, I should have stayed away from you!"
Those direct disciples were obviously affected, and soon, strange noises came from their alchemy furnace.
The other people who were refining alchemy further away noticed the situation here, and immediately used protective and sound-proof shields to minimize the impact on themselves.
The commotion here was so loud that it naturally quickly attracted the attention of all the real people.
Kang Xingliu stroked his beard lightly, a trace of confusion flashed across his expression.
Red flint is not a material used to make alchemy at all. What is Qin Shaoyou doing by throwing red flint into the alchemy furnace?
"Don't be clever and make alchemy seriously!"
He couldn't help but remind Qin Shaoyou that after all, there were several other real people here looking at him.
After hearing Kang Xingliu's message, the latter felt slightly nervous.
However, he is not afraid of these real people staring at him. After all, even if he is refining an elixir at an alchemy conference, no one can guarantee that it will be successful!
Failure, isn’t that normal?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this guy named Qin Shaoyou is really not good. Fortunately, I didn't place a bet on him to win..."
"Look, those direct disciples seem to have been affected too, so the one who can win this time should be among them..."
Several people whispered and discussed, and suddenly a smile appeared on their faces that the conspiracy was about to succeed.
They immediately found Yuan Tao, who was hiding aside and playing with leaves, and strongly demanded that the bet numbers be changed.
The latter looked embarrassed and extremely reluctant.
Then, more people came to place additional bets....
The alchemy conference continues.
Qin Shaoyou became a lot more honest after he started refining alchemy again. At this time, Bai Xiyao, who was ready, finally started refining alchemy.
What she wants to refine is a second-grade Mysterious Dragon Silver Pill. After a monk takes it, it can greatly increase the strength and speed of the physical body in an hour. It is considered a rare auxiliary elixir.
However, what surprised the onlookers was that at this moment, she actually took out the Heavenly Prison Mirror and threw it over her head, causing it to turn into a giant beam of light, covering herself entirely in it, leaving only a small hole on the top.
Let that red line pass.
After seeing this scene, most people smiled knowingly.
It was understandable that Bai Xiyao did this, after all, the noise Qin Shaoyou made just now was not a small one.
This scene was also reflected in the peripheral vision of Li Changan who was right next to her, which made the latter a little speechless, secretly wondering whether Bai Xiyao was making a fuss out of a molehill.
In this way, the sun gradually set towards the west and the sunset began to shine.
The moment the dazzling sunset fell, a muffled sound came from Qin Shaoyou's alchemy furnace again.
A crisp cracking sound burst out, and with a loud bang, the furnace cover of the Void Furnace was blasted high into the sky by a terrifying force!
A blazing flame burst out from the mouth of the alchemy furnace and roared into the sky.
During this period, it was accompanied by dazzling thunder, just like a fire dragon that was awakened!
"Explosion furnace?"
"He blew up the furnace!"
"Qin Shaoyou exploded!"
Countless disciples who were watching began to shout, and a group of direct disciples were frightened by this sudden change and jumped up on the spot. Then, like a chain reaction, the whole square exploded with flowers!
Those were extremely splendid fireworks, as if celebrating this special festival.
"No!"
Li Changan's expression changed suddenly. His Green Fire Pill had reached the final moment of condensation. There could be no mistakes in going there at this time.
But at this moment, the whole situation completely got out of control.
"That's unreasonable!"
Lu Qingshan was furious. Looking at the failed elixir in front of him, he could no longer hold back. A white light flashed in his hand, and a silver-white long sword appeared in his hand.
"The Alchemy Conference is not a martial arts competition!"
"Put away your magic weapon!"
Fortunately, Wu Feng appeared in time to stop him, and the latter put away his sword with a look of fear and retreated to his position.
If he really made a move, I'm afraid nothing would happen to Qin Shaoyou and he would just let it cool off first.
When everyone saw this, the suppressed impulse in their chests was reduced by more than half. Although they did not dare to make a mistake, their angry expressions were not concealed at all, and they all looked at the instigator with anger.
Among them, Zhou Qingmei, Tong Yan and others were prominently listed, and even Su Wan looked resentful at this moment.
Qin Shaoyou's move was extremely cruel, damaging himself by 800 and injuring the enemy by 10,000!
Wu Feng frowned slightly. He stared at this innocent-looking disciple several times, as if he wanted to get some clues from his face.
However, the latter was very thick-skinned and did not show any trace of panic.
Wu Feng felt a little moved in his heart, not because he had decided that this guy was innocent, but on the contrary, Qin Shaoyou had "filial piety" to him before, and if he added insult to injury now, Qin Shaoyou would bite him indiscriminately later.
After all, if Qin Shaoyou did this "exploding the furnace" intentionally, then this person's courage has far surpassed him. At least he would not dare to act recklessly in front of the seven real people.
In line with the idea of "turning enemies into friends", Wu Feng pretended to scold:
"Qin Shaoyou, I have long heard that you can explode the furnace when making alchemy. I didn't expect that you would also explode in the alchemy conference today. Can you explain to everyone what is going on?"
This guy seems to be blaming, but in fact he is looking for a way out for Qin Shaoyou.
Previously, when Qin Shaoyou first came to Kaiyang Island, he would blow up the furnace every now and then. Everyone once regarded this as a laughing stock.
But they didn't expect that today the laughing stock would reappear, but they couldn't laugh anymore.
Qin Shaoyou smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that Wu Feng is "one of his own"!
He bowed apologetically and replied:
"It was the disciple who was greedy for ranking and wanted to refine the earth-level spiritual elixir Green Fire Pill. Unexpectedly, he was unable to control the elixir to release spiritual power. This caused the spiritual power of the entire alchemy furnace to go out of control..."
Generally speaking, only those who have reached the golden elixir realm dare to refine earth-level elixirs.
Qin Shaoyou, who is only in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, actually dares to go beyond the level of refining. It would be strange if he didn't explode the furnace!
