Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 67: Ouyang Fan's Feelings [Two Updates]
But this time, after hearing that the son-in-law of the Sima family is a fourth-grade alchemist from the Douqi Academy, many small forces and families have once again shown their goodwill to the Sima family. However, some small families and forces are still holding an attitude of wait-and-see, because if the Sima family still fails to enter the top three in the Alchemy Master Competition this time, they will lose their status as one of the Three Gates and Two Families. Although the son-in-law of the Sima family is a fourth-grade alchemist from the Douqi Academy, there are five fourth-grade alchemists participating in the competition this time, and it's possible that a dark horse may suddenly appear during the competition, making it not an easy task to enter the top three.
The alchemy table had long been swept clean by the five major forces, and countless flying magic beasts could be seen everywhere in mid-air, carrying large batches of spectators into the scene. The audience of 100,000 people was a vast sea of black, and the scene was truly breathtakingly shocking.
Yue Cheng and the Sima family arrived at the Alchemy Platform, but instead of directly entering the competition venue, they first entered the Sima family's rest room on the side. From the rest room, you can directly enter the competition venue, and the competition platform of the five major forces is also in the best position, with the largest surface area. This is the privilege of the five major forces, and no one dares to complain, everything depends on the force speaking.
And in the rest room of the five major families, there is another rest room that is even larger than the five major powers. Everyone on Zuo Xing Island knows that this rest room is actually the true master of Zuo Xing Island, and even the five major powers have to look at each other's faces.
Lingjing Sect is the true master of Zuoxing Island, and the three gates and two families, five major forces on Zuoxing Island are just peripheral forces. At this time, in the rest room of Lingjing Sect, there were several people sitting separately, among whom the leading old man was actually a Nine-Star Douwang cultivator, while the others had at least Three-Star Douling cultivators, and two of them looked like fourth-level mages.
Among these people, there was a stunningly beautiful woman with big eyes, skin as white as snow and eyebrows like the moon. This beautiful woman was not very old, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light red brocade robe, with an elegant temperament. Her facial features were exquisite, her figure was also curvaceous, with a pair of slender and long legs, and her plump buttocks were round and firm, absolutely a standard beauty. If Yue Cheng saw her, he would definitely drool again.
"Miss, are you also going to participate in the Alchemist Grand Prix?" The leading elder said to the brocade-robed girl with a hint of absolute respect. A girl who could make a Dou Wang expert show such respect must have an extraordinary status.
"Bai Hu Fa, you go and arrange it quickly. I'd like to see what's so special about the Alchemist Competition. I heard that Du Mi Er has already reached the peak of 4th rank alchemy, if she knew that I've recently advanced to the realm of 5th rank alchemy, I wonder what her expression would be." The brocade-robed girl's mouth curved upwards, revealing a sly smile.
The woman in the brocade dress was none other than Ouyang Fanqing, the 18-year-old treasure of the Lingjing Sect and its current leader. Like Du Mier of the Danmen, she had a talent that was equally extraordinary, but few people knew of her existence because she rarely left the sect, whereas everyone on Zuo Xing Island knew of Du Mier.
The leaders of the three families naturally knew that Lingjing Sect had a freak like Ouyang Piao, but since Lingjing Sect never participated in the Alchemist Grand Prix, they probably couldn't guess that this freak would also come to join in on the fun.
"Alright, I'll arrange it." The White surname Guardian could only agree to Ouyang Xun's request, as the young mistress had been spoiled since childhood.
As time slowly passed, all the audience had arrived, and people from the other four major forces also came to the alchemy platform. Under Sima Yanran's introduction, Yue Cheng also took a close look at the people of each major force. Basically, the people of the other major forces were led by the master himself, with strength roughly equivalent to that of a seven- or eight-star Douwang.
The people from the four major forces, including Yue Cheng, didn't notice at first, but after everyone had arrived, a blue-robed elder from the Lingjing Sect walked to the center and announced: "Everyone, the Left Star Island Alchemist Competition, which takes place once every ten years, has begun. According to previous rules, anyone who has registered and is under the age of thirty can participate. The top ten winners will each receive a reward of 3,000 gold coins from our Lingjing Sect, while the top three winners will also each receive a fifth-grade dan formula. As for this year's champion..."
The old man in blue robes sank his voice and said: "This time, the champion can also get a guest elder position of my Lingjing Sect. If you are willing to join my Lingjing Sect, you can get the official elder position of my Lingjing Sect." Book group number 138056281. Brothers who like it can add it.
The old man in blue was the White Elder, as Ouyang Feng called him. After hearing about the rewards of the competition, the elder's heart was filled with excitement, especially the reward for the first place champion, which was truly enticing. As an elder of the Lingjing Sect, his status would be even higher than his current position as a protector, and the benefits he would receive would be self-evident, something that everyone would desire.
As the rewards of these champions were announced, everyone began to get excited, and the two thousand participants below started discussing with each other. Even the people from the five major powers were somewhat surprised, as the position of the Lingjing Sect's elder was even higher than that of their own leaders. The reward for the previous Alchemy Master Competition champion was also very enticing, but it didn't have such a great temptation.
Only Yue Cheng felt disappointed after hearing these rewards. The five-product elixir formula, the elder of Lingjing Sect, all of which Yue Cheng didn't take seriously. In his previous life in Huaxia, an ordinary middle-grade elixir formula was far stronger than the precious five-product elixir formulas they had. As for the position of the elder of Lingjing Sect, it was simply worthless to Yue Cheng.
After calming down the excited crowd, Bai surname continued: "The competition rules are divided into three rounds. The first round is an elimination match, the second round is a quota competition, and the third round is a ranking final. Any form of cheating is prohibited during the competition, and violators will be directly expelled from Zuo Xing Island." As for the competition rules, Yue Cheng had already heard them from Sima Yanran. The first round's elimination match was actually that the Lingjing Sect would provide a three-product pill recipe and medicinal materials, and participants must refine the pills within the specified time. Those who failed would be directly eliminated, and those who advanced would proceed to the second round of quota competition, where only ten people from the first round could enter the third round, and finally, these ten people would compete for ranking.
After Bai surname Hu Fa announced all the rules of the competition, all the participants entered the competition venue in an orderly manner according to their own numbers. On a huge stone slab in the middle, the five major forces had already set up 2,000 stone platforms with pre-marked numbers. Each registered alchemist would receive a number and now just needed to find the corresponding platform according to the number.
Yue Cheng and the other four major forces' participants naturally didn't need to find their own stone pedestals like everyone else, as the best ones in front were prepared for the five major forces.
"Yue Cheng, you'd better be careful." Sima Changping said to Yue Cheng. The Sima family must get the top three places this time, otherwise they will be finished. Originally having a lot of confidence in Yue Cheng, Sima Changping couldn't help but feel some worry with the appearance of Zhao Qingsong from Qinghai Gate and Liu Liyang from Xue Sha Gate.
"Ah, Uncle can rest assured." Yue Cheng said, the top three should be no problem for himself, his goal was the championship, and he had participated in it. He wanted to leave a name for himself, just as a way to promote himself for future development.
He glanced at Sima Yanran sitting next to him, and then slowly walked down to the competition venue. At this time, several other participants from the five major forces also slowly came down, and Yue Cheng couldn't help but slightly raise his head to glance at them.
Zhao Qingsong of Qinghai Gate, Liu Liyang of Xue Sha Men, Liang Yu and Yue Cheng looked at the three people not far in front. The gray-robed man in the front was Zhao Qingsong of Qinghai Gate, and the short-sleeved young man walking down beside him was Liu Liyang of Xue Sha Men. These two had already joined Qinghai Gate and Xue Sha Men, so it was reasonable for them to represent the two gates in the competition according to the rules of the tournament.
As for Liang Yu, Yue Cheng had already known him, and upon sensing the aura on Liang Yu's body, Yue Cheng was somewhat shocked. This guy's injuries had all healed, and his cultivation seemed to have even made some progress. It seems that the Liang family hadn't spared any effort in treating his wounds, and they probably hated themselves even more now.
Seeing Yue Cheng below, Liang Yu's eyes also burst into flames. He glared at Yue Cheng fiercely before suppressing his anger in the Alchemy Grandmaster Competition.
"What a beautiful woman, it must be Du Mi'er of the Blood Slaughter Sect, who is said to be on par with Sima Yanran from Left Star Island." Yue Cheng finally fixed his gaze on a stunningly beautiful girl in a cyan tight-fitting outfit behind him. This girl's looks and figure were not inferior to Sima Yanran's, although she seemed a few years younger than Sima Yanran. However, the full and plump twin peaks on her chest seemed to be no less than Sima Yanran's. Her slender waist that could be grasped with one hand, her plump and round buttocks, and her long and slender legs made Yue Cheng almost bleed from his nose.
Feeling that someone was sizing her up, Du Mier cast a glance at Yue Cheng, then immediately lowered her head and continued walking towards the arena. As for Yue Cheng, she had heard people mention him before, but hadn't paid much attention to it.
When the people of the five major forces arrived at their own stone platforms, Yue Cheng found that his stone platform was placed at the very end of the five major forces. This is not surprising, as the status of the Sima family has been declining, so it's normal for the position to be placed at the very end. Fortunately, Yue Cheng didn't mind these things either.
