Chapter 137 Betting Conference Begins

In the bustling and lively street, Qu Feng led Lu Yun and his group towards the towering hall that could be seen from a long distance away.

Along the way, Lu Yun discovered that the main streets leading to the Alchemy Alliance were patrolled and guarded by heavily armed soldiers.

The captain in black armor wandered around the duty points from time to time, unintentionally exuding a powerful aura and chilling momentum that made countless people tremble.

The alchemy conference held every five years by the Alchemist Alliance is huge and attracts countless people.

There may not necessarily be a few cult members among them.

Today is the time when the alchemy conference is held. It is the most lively and the people are the most complicated. It is also the day when the evil cult forces can easily get involved.

Taking advantage of such an opportunity to launch a suicide attack, these alchemists with weak martial arts will undoubtedly become lambs to be slaughtered.

Therefore, it is normal to send out large armies to prevent problems in the bud.

Following the flow of people, slowly walking through the streets, the huge alchemist alliance appeared in sight.

In the sky above the gate, two strong men in the Golden Body realm sat quietly in the void, releasing a stream of spiritual power from time to time, sweeping across the extremely crowded doorway.

"Even the strong men in the Golden Body Realm are dispatched. This is a bit overkill!" Looking away from the two powerful figures in the void, Lu Yun couldn't help but sigh.

"Excessive talent but little use?" Di Qing shook his head and said solemnly: "The reason why you think it is unnecessary to send two strong men with a golden body to wait here is because you don't know what happened more than fifty years ago."

"A group of dead warriors who were at least Yuanye realm mixed into the group of alchemists and broke out instantly after the alchemy conference started."

"Although the alchemists who participated in the conference were not bad in talent, they were limited to their alchemy talents. Their martial arts realm was very low and they could not stop them at all. In just a dozen breaths, one-third of the alchemy geniuses were brutally murdered.

From that time on, Lingzhou's already lagging alchemy level dropped to an unprecedented low, and it has only barely recovered now. "

Deng Yunhui, Di Ruoling and others were greatly surprised when they heard about such past events.

Lu Yun's heart condensed slightly. In order to weaken Lingzhou's alchemy level, he mobilized a group of dead soldiers who were at least Yuanye realm. This shows the terror of the forces behind it and the strong determination.

Everyone squeezed into the crowd and slowly pushed towards the gate.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion not far behind him, and everyone's eyes were turned away.

The flow of people in front also stopped, and Lu Yun and his group were squeezed in the middle, neither moving forward nor retreating.

"Hey, I made a mistake. I made a mistake." Qu Feng touched his goatee and sighed helplessly.

Di Qing glanced at the other party complainingly and said: "It's all your fault, you insist on living outside, now it's okay, you can't even get in through the door, and if other old guys see it, you will have to be laughed at. "

Lu Yun put his hands behind his back and looked at these alchemists from all over Lingzhou with great interest. Most of the badges on the chests of these people had only one alchemy pattern, and a few had two or three alchemy patterns.

There are even a few who wear silver badges on their chests with four pill patterns.

There is no doubt that these fourth-grade alchemists are over twenty-five years old. They are either bringing their juniors to the Alchemist Alliance this time, or they are here to participate in this five-year event.

Soon, Lu Yun finally discovered the source of the sensation.

It was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a purple palace dress with purple and gold patterns on the side. A purple belt was tied around her waist, which fully showed off her graceful waist. There was a slight smile on Ruyu's pretty face, which looked elegant and ladylike, but Lu Yun noticed a little quirky smile from the other party's watery eyes.

Obviously, this is not a stable Lord.

People cannot be judged by their appearance, especially women, whose true character and appearance are often very different.

Lu Yun understands this very well, so he often does not look down on any woman.

Most people tend to focus on the girl in palace attire and tend to ignore the beautiful woman holding a sword.

Perhaps it could be said that the beautiful woman holding the sword deliberately lowered her sense of presence and followed the girl closely.

When he noticed Lu Yun's gaze, a pair of watery eyes immediately glanced over.

The clear, cold pressure came over him, making Lu Yun shudder uncontrollably and immediately looked away.

"This woman's strength is so terrifying. Even if she is not as good as the two golden body experts in the void, she is not much weaker." Lu Yun sighed secretly in his heart.

Just one glance can make him feel powerful oppression, at least only a strong person in the Golden Body Realm can do it.

"Such a beautiful beauty, why don't you continue watching..." Di Ruoling on the side joked slyly after seeing Lu Yun retracting his gaze.

Lu Yun smiled slightly and ignored the other party's joke.

"Tsk, tsk, what a beautiful little girl, she's so cute. I really want to hold her in my hands and give her pills like candy every day..." Looking at the girl in purple palace clothes who gradually walked in, the surroundings After the crowd made way for them, they looked at each other's retreating figures, sighed, and cast their gazes away frequently.

"Hey, this little princess Chu Yuanyao is the governor of the state. I heard that her teacher is the alliance president, Grandmaster Qin Ming. She has no shortage of spiritual crystals for martial arts, and there is no shortage of elixirs. She appears here this time. He must also be here for the alchemy conference."

"And the beautiful woman next to her is also extraordinary. She is Chu Lingxue, a powerful person in the Golden Body Realm."

Among the many alchemists, there are naturally many who are well-informed. After taking a glance at the two women, they recognized each other's identities.

"To be able to have a powerful person in the Golden Body Realm protect her closely, this garrison commander loves his daughter so much! But this Chu Yuanyao looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she is also a third-grade alchemist. This talent is really terrifying."

"Tsk, she was accepted as a disciple by President Qin Ming, in addition to being the precious daughter of the garrison commander Chu Feng, but also because of her extremely high talent in alchemy. It is said that she has reached the third-grade alchemist two years ago. I am afraid that she is also participating in the alchemy conference this time for the championship reward of the conference."

Lu Yun, who was squeezed in the crowd, smiled faintly after hearing this.

The champion of the second-grade alchemist level, whoever loves it, has nothing to do with him.

But the champion of the third-grade alchemist level, there is only one person, Lu.

As Chu Yuanyao entered the Alchemist Alliance without any hindrance, the originally crowded crowd began to flow again, pouring into the gate like water.

Lu Yun and others followed the crowd and slowly entered the Alchemist Alliance. The space around them suddenly became wider.

"Haha, you little guys follow the pace of the big team and go through the formalities first. The two old men will go to chat with those old guys first."

Immediately, Qu Feng and Di Qing moved slightly and quickly disappeared in the crowd.

The main hall in the north area is where the alchemists who participated in this competition register.

To participate in the alchemy conference, two requirements must be met. One is that you must be under 25 years old, and the other is at least a second-grade alchemist.

With these two simple conditions, more than 90% of the alchemists are eliminated invisibly.

Of course, other alchemists also know this, but it does not affect their viewing of this five-year grand event belonging to the Lingzhou alchemist group.

After a simple identity registration and registration information registration in the main hall, Lu Yun and others followed the guide to a very wide square.

At this time, many young people had gathered in the square, and the lowest level of those present was a second-grade alchemist.

What surprised Lu Yun a little was that there were also many third-grade alchemists, not much less than the second-grade alchemists.

There were about 400 second-grade alchemists, and about 250 to 60 third-grade alchemists.

His eyes moved around and quickly swept through the many third-grade alchemists, each of whom was arrogant and high-spirited.

Lu Yun smiled faintly at this, and finally took a closer look at Chu Yuanyao, who he had seen outside the gate, and several other young alchemists who looked quite impressive.

At his current level, although he could not accurately know the other party's level, he could vaguely sense those who were more powerful.

When they found that another group of people had arrived, most of the alchemists stopped communicating and briefly cast their eyes on Lu Yun and others.

When they saw the third-grade badge in front of Lu Yun, everyone's expressions were slightly stunned.

Lu Yun now looks like he is only about 14 or 15 years old, but he is already a third-grade alchemist. With such talent, only the beloved disciple of President Qin Ming can match him in the entire competition.

Chu Yuanyao, who was sitting in a corner but was still the focus of the whole audience, also glanced at Lu Yun. When he saw the badge with three dan patterns on his chest, his smart eyes turned and his little face looked thoughtful.

Lu Yun raised his eyes slightly and saw that there were rows of seats gradually rising around the square, which were filled with densely packed people, almost tens of thousands of people.

"Hey, old man Qu, this little guy is not the trump card of your Lingwu County, right?"

On the high platform on the left side of the square, dozens of old men were sitting upright. Qu Feng and Di Qing were sitting in a more remote corner, and the previous voice was made by an old man with gray hair and beard not far from them.

Qu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled faintly: "Haha, it's not a trump card, but that little guy is the future of our Lingwu County. He is not yet fourteen. This year he is brought to see the world, but in the next five years, it is uncertain."

Di Qing's old eyes flashed with brilliance, knowing that his old partner was going to start cheating people.

Sure enough, after hearing Qu Feng's words, the old man with white hair and beard chuckled and said: "The future is full of uncertainty. I think we should continue the tradition of the past."

Qu Feng immediately shook his head: "Don't even think about it, old man Qian, don't even think about getting anything from me this time."

"A little gambling is fun. Can you, the president of the branch, be reluctant to give up a spiritual object?"

The old man with white hair and beard, surnamed Qian, was the president of the Baiyun County branch. He said earnestly: "Besides, our branch is similar to yours. There are only two third-grade alchemists. , four second-grade alchemists. The strength of the two families is evenly matched, and there is no question of who will suffer a loss. "

"Well... there is a little truth, but..."

Qian Yu saw that Qu Feng was obviously beginning to waver, glanced at Lu Yun and others, and said while the iron was hot: "I think one of them is your disciple. He also participated in the alchemy conference five years ago. At that time, he achieved good results among the second-grade alchemists. Now that five years have passed, he must have been immersed in the third-grade alchemy for a long time. Even if he can't compete for the top three this time, there should be a great possibility that he will be in the top ten."

Hearing this, Qu Feng smiled faintly on his face, stroked his goatee, and said humbly: "My disciple is not good enough. I don't ask him to enter the top ten, as long as the results are not too ugly, otherwise our Lingwu County branch The next resources will be greatly reduced.”

Faced with such an unconventional style of music, Qian Yu couldn't help but look slightly stunned. It was naturally impossible for him to give up like this.

After half a cup of tea, Qu Feng said helplessly: "This time, instead of betting on the results of my Lingwu County and your Baiyun County, we will bet on which junior can finally win the championship at the level of a third-grade alchemist. How about that?"

"Huh?" Qian Yu pondered slightly, and after sizing up Qu Feng for a while, he did not agree hastily.

Because if he bets like this, he won't have any advantage, which is not in line with his intended purpose.

"Lao Qian, Lao Qu's proposal seems to be quite good, I'll join in." At this time, the old man on the side said: "It's a small bet, but we can't bet too big, so I will give you a Qingshuang Dan recipe. "

"Hey, how can this be without me, Fang Tuo? I will give you a recipe for the Nirvana Pill."

"I'll come too..."

Just like that, a small group of old men around them joined in the bet.

"Hey, the sixth-grade elixir recipe is okay. It's within the acceptable range for us. Let me give you a recipe for the death elixir." Qu Feng glanced at Lu Yun and others and sighed. Said: "As the president of the Lingwu County branch, I naturally cannot place bets on other alchemists to win the championship. So, I will bet on Lu Yun to win the championship. I can still afford a sixth-grade elixir recipe. If you can afford it, just use it as an incentive!”

"Haha, Old Man Qu is right, it's just a sixth-grade elixir recipe. I'd also bet on He Feixia from our branch..."

"I also bet on our branch..."

In this way, one by one the old men confidently joined the bet, and they all bet on the alchemist of their division to win the championship.

For these veteran sixth-grade alchemists, it is indeed harmless to come up with a sixth-grade alchemy recipe, just to join in the fun.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of people joined the bet, and Qian Yu was suddenly in a dilemma.

Buying the alchemist from their Baiyun County branch to win the championship is not giving away a sixth-grade elixir recipe in vain?

Although the sixth-grade elixir prescription was not very important to him, how could he, who always prided himself on being shrewd, do something like this, knowing that he would lose.

But looking at the disdainful looks around him, he finally joined in.

The juniors in the audience naturally didn't know that the old men on the high platform had placed a lot of chips on them, and they were all looking at each other at this time.

As time passed slowly, the time for the start of the alchemy conference came slowly under the expectation of everyone.

When a crisp bell sounded in the square, the noise in the entire square, whether it was the audience seats or the competition seats, immediately disappeared, and the whole place became extremely quiet.

After the melodious ringing of the bell had completely subsided, an old man sitting in the center of the high platform stood up tremblingly.

This dying old man is none other than the president of the Lingzhou Alchemist Alliance, Qin Ming!

A pair of vicissitudes of life glanced at the six to seven hundred young talented alchemists in the competition seats.

At the same time, these young alchemists with a reputation as geniuses in various counties also cast their eyes of admiration and awe on this old man who enjoyed the highest reputation in the Lingzhou Alchemist Alliance.

"I, Qin Ming, in the name of the president of the Lingzhou Alchemist Alliance, announce that the 53rd Alchemy Conference has begun!"

boom!

As this sound carrying true energy sounded, the entire venue let out rumbling cheers, and the mighty sound filled the sky.
