Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 195 Begins

It was nearly midnight, and the cold moon hung high.

The weather in autumn is not as cold and biting as winter, but it can make people feel lonely.

Chong Shuyao stared at the boundless fallen trees falling down, the cold wind rolled up the fallen leaves and drifted around her, her eyes wandered among the fallen leaves.

It was rare for her to wear an unglamorous dress. That dress was still red, but it looked very old, as if it had been washed and faded. She just wrapped herself in an old dress in the cold wind. Dressed, standing alone under a plane tree, she looks full of thoughts.

"The autumn wind is blowing, the leaves are falling, where is the end of the world?" Chong Shuyao said faintly, holding his hands tightly together, his eyes seemed to have an unstoppable killing intent, "It will be over soon."

She gently picked up a dead leaf that happened to fall on her body, "I really want to become a fallen leaf and leave here forever with the wind."

The next day was the final of the pharmacist competition.

The finals started at noon on Qixia Mountain.

The precarious peaks of Qixia Mountain stand tall and go straight into the sky. Every evening when the sun sets on the western mountain, the sunset glow in the sky seems to cover the mountain like a hazy veil, hence the name "Qixia".

At the same time, there is also a mountain peak full of spiritual energy. It cannot be said that there are many rare treasures, but there are also many rare and exotic beasts.Every year, the finals of the Alchemist Competition are held there. The grand scale is completely different from the previous competitions. It is estimated that half of the people in Dingtian City will come to watch the excitement.

At the same time, the elders of the Alchemist Guild will put down all the affairs at hand and come to the finals. This is the annual grand meeting of the Alchemist Guild, and no one will be absent without special reasons.

Ye Shuo and Qi Lan had set off very early. On the way to Qixia Mountain, they could see that the mountainside was full of people, and many of them were not alchemists.People from Dingtian City or surrounding towns are all crowded on this mountain, just to come to watch this huge game.

There are also many high-ranking officials and dignitaries who can be seen at a glance.

Most of them are sitting in magnificent palanquins with accompanying maids.The bearers carried the sedan chairs and walked on the mountain road with difficulty, which made the mountain path even more crowded amidst the so-called ostentation.

There are no artificially excavated mountain paths on Qixia Mountain. They are all trails that people walk a lot. In addition, Qixia Mountain itself has many cliffs and cliffs. It is really not easy to go up the mountain.

But even on this day, anyone who is capable will definitely go up the mountain to witness this grand occasion.

Fortunately, Ye Shuo and Qi Lan are here to participate in the competition, so they can use another dedicated passage.

The special passage is on the north side of Qixia Mountain.To the north of Qixia Mountain is a cliff with a vertical angle of almost ninety degrees.

The cliff was almost as if it had been split by a knife, the rock wall was very smooth, there was not a single plant, and it stood there naked.

The Alchemist Association specially built a cableway there for the purpose of going up the mountain.

Ye Shuo looked up at the cableway in front of him, the cableway went straight up and down without any slope.

He looked at Qi Lan worriedly, "Qi Lan, this cableway is so high, aren't you afraid?"

After Ye Shuo asked this question, he realized that Qi Lan's face had turned pale.

"Every year, I have to bear this kind of fear! In the past, I was brave enough to get to the championship, but now that I have won the championship, the desire in my heart is no longer as strong as before. I ...I, I can't find any reason to convince myself to go on this 'road of death'!!"

"'Death Road'? Don't say it so scary. It's okay, you won't die if you fall. Ah!...No, you won't fall!" Ye Shuo saw Qi Lan's fearful expression expanding, and suddenly Change your mouth.

"This time it's not a question of whether the cableway will fall or not." Qi Lan said with a resentful expression, "I don't even know why I climbed so high this time. There are obviously more terrible things waiting for me up there."

"Qi Lan, don't worry! Didn't the master say it? Although he can't completely break the spirit descending technique on you, he can cut off the connection between the two of you when Chong Shuyao casts a spell on you. , so you will be safe!" Ye Shuo hurriedly comforted his junior brother who had been terrified all night.

Ye Shuo still remembered yesterday, when Master Yunxing said, "Of course I don't have a solution." Qi Lan almost rolled her eyes and passed out.

At that time, Qi Lan wanted to save himself by reciting the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Mantra. He was already wondering if he had done too many immoral things before encountering such a thing, but after much deliberation, Qi Lan found out that Things that are not very moral, that is, raising the price of the elixir refined by his master at the auction venue, and putting medicine in the drink of his senior brother.

But these two things, in the end, he was the one who was unlucky! !If you say retribution, he has already suffered it!

"It's getting late, let's go up!" Ye Shuo didn't care about Qi Lan's grief, "Master also said that the spirit descending technique won't kill people, and now we have taken defensive measures, don't worry too much gone."

After Qi Lan heard this, she wanted to say a few more words to express that he was not so fragile, and that Ye Shuo could not help but drag him onto the cableway when he would still go up the cableway.

As a result, Qi Lan's heart-piercing cry came from the cableway immediately, "Let me go down!" Qi Lan tightly held the safety rope in her hand, not even daring to open her eyes.

Not long after, the two finally arrived at the top of the mountain. Ye Shuo felt his vision suddenly widen. The top of Qixia Mountain had been artificially transformed into an open platform, which could at least accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.

"The final is really different!" Ye Shuo looked around like a tourist.

On the huge platform, it was also slightly crowded at this time.

In addition to the staff sent by the Alchemist Guild, there are also some alchemists on the platform, but most of them have been eliminated.

Because in the last rematch, a lot of pharmacists were selected, and this time there were less than 30 pharmacists who entered the finals.

Qi Lan mentioned to Ye Shuo about the last competition, there were at least 100 people who entered the final.

From this point of view, the chance of becoming the champion is one in [-], which seems to be more likely, but both of them know in their hearts that the competition this time is far stronger than the previous competition.

If the previous competition was a competition between pharmacists, then this time the competition is more like a fight between pharmacists.

Qi Lan signaled Ye Shuo to stop wandering here and there, as there was still some time before noon.

On the platform, there is a special building, which is used for the alchemists participating in the competition to rest.

There are separate rooms in the building, Ye Shuo and Qi Lan found an empty room to enter.

The lounge is spacious and very comfortably furnished.Speaking of which, Qi Lan has not slept well for three consecutive days since the start of the Alchemist Competition.

As soon as she came to such a comfortable lounge, Qi Lan lay down on the soft couch, and not long after her eyes closed, she was about to snore.

Although Ye Shuo was not as sleepy as Qi Lan, he was influenced by him and began to doze off unconsciously. Anyway, someone will notify when the game starts, so it's good to take a break now?

At noon, the shadow cast by the sundial pointer on the platform has become an origin.

At the very center of the platforms, there is a slightly descending square.This square is the venue for the alchemists to compete.

However, apart from the lack of people in this square, other places have been crowded, especially the area closer to the square.People can't wait to stack up and stand, after all, the closer they are, the clearer they can see.

And although the judges' desk is a bit far from the square, due to its high position, from the judges' desk, not only can you see everything on the square, but you can see everything on the entire platform clearly.

Chi Yunshi stood on the high judging platform, staring at everything below the stage.

In front of his eyes, the platform was full of people, and beside his ears, there was a deafening noise, "It's really lively." A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I like this kind of atmosphere the most."

"Master Yunxing, what do you think? Do you like this atmosphere?" He turned to Master Yunxing and asked.

At this time, Master Yunxing sat on the chair safely, "From the perspective of a pharmacist, I prefer a quiet environment."

"Oh, really? But it's a pity that no one knows about the rare medicine even though it's made by a single person alone. But it's like a night walk in brocade clothes, what's the use?" Chi Yunshi looked at the judges. The crowd was surging, and a sense of pride hit my heart.

"Like Jinyi Night Walk? Refining elixirs is not to be worshiped by others. Sometimes a perfect and rare elixir needs to be refined for several years, or even more than ten years. To have such persistence, no one How can you achieve an indifferent and peaceful heart? If you are too eager for quick success, you will not be able to make good medicine.

By the way, Chi Yunshi, you don't seem to have successfully refined any pills that have passed the sixth rank or higher. "When Master Yunxing answered Chi Yunshi, his tone was unhurried, but it angered him instantly.

Because it is true that Chi Yunshi has not successfully refined any pills above the sixth grade. Hearing this, he suddenly felt a strong and extreme hatred surging in his heart, which was mixed with extreme dissatisfaction and deep-seated envy.

But Chi Yunshi is not an impulsive person, not to mention, soon, he will be able to completely trample Master Yunxing under his feet.After clenching his fist tightly, he let it go slowly. He was trying his best to suppress this hatred.

"Yunxing, what are you proud of?" Chi Yunshi said inwardly, with a smug smile on his face again, "Soon, not too long, your apprentices will be defeated, and my apprentices will be defeated. Become the champion of this alchemist competition.

And... I will become the president of this alchemist guild! ! "

The host's voice sounded again.

It's just that this time his tone was no longer as glib as before, and looked a lot more serious, after all, this was the final.

"Everyone, be quiet." The host's voice became unexpectedly forceful. On this platform, after a long time, the noise of the crowd in the audience gradually subsided.

With the movement of his hand, several hidden doors suddenly appeared on the square in the center, and after a few bangs, dozens of medicine cauldrons rose from the square.

Those medicine cauldrons were uniformly dark red, although it was dark red, the color was not dim, on the contrary, it was still shining brightly under the sunlight.

"Red Flowing Light Cauldron!?" Among the people looking around, someone has already recognized it.

"In the last competition, the red streamer was not used. This time, the guild really did a great job!" Someone said with emotion.

"That's right, there are still so many! It's really hard to imagine, what kind of powerful medicine will be refined with the red streamer cauldron. Today is not in vain, it can be an eye-opener!"

"Red Flowing Light Cauldron?" Ye Shuo had no interest in the medicine cauldron, so he searched for the knowledge that was forcibly poured into it. The Red Flowing Light Cauldron was considered a more advanced type among the many medicine cauldrons.

Ye Shuo is now more concerned about the alchemists around him.The less than [-] alchemists who entered the finals are entering the square.

Ye Shuo didn't like to remember people's faces, basically he didn't know anyone, but he met Ye Lin, who had robbed the Danyang King's bone and stone with him back then, and Xiao Yunfeng, who was by Ye Lin's side at that time.

Ye Lin saw Ye Shuo and glared at him, Ye Shuo had no choice but to smile bitterly.

But the only one who attracted Ye Shuo's attention was Zhou Linglang.That genius girl, at this time, completely lost her former self-confidence.Although she has still entered the finals, she looks haggard and seems to be under a lot of pressure.It seemed that the previous competition had dealt a severe blow to her.

"The content of the competition this time is..." Although the host's voice became more serious, he still did not forget to tantalize people. When the audience in the audience were all holding their breath and waiting for his next words, he just didn't say anything, and it took a long time before he said. : "In this competition, all the pharmacists all refined the same kind of elixir—'Supreme Zengyuan Pill'."

When the host pronounced the name, some audience members who knew how to refine medicine began to sigh, "My God! It's so difficult!"

"Supreme Zengyuan Pill" is a sixth-grade elixir, not the highest grade, but the refining process is extremely harsh, and even some elders in the alchemist guild cannot guarantee that it can be completely refined.

The alchemists in the square also changed their faces when they heard this.Since Ye Shuo's knowledge was forcibly acquired the day after tomorrow, he had to search his brain every time before he could reach a conclusion, so that among the alchemists in this competition, he seemed to be very calm.

Chi Yunshi saw it, and suddenly became murderous towards him.Even if it's just that Ye Shuo's reaction was a bit slower than others.

"Because the difficulty of the competition is relatively high, it is not required that everyone must be successful in refining. The final evaluation will be based on the degree of completion." The host said: "Then everyone, please start!"
