As the Golden Pond Conference is about to begin, young monks from various regions of the Great Chu Dynasty rushed to Qingzhou City one after another, making the inns and restaurants in the city extremely loud. Chen Xi took Mu Kui to search for it for a long time, and finally found a remote inn. , booked the only remaining room.

After taking a hot bath, Chen Xi sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a jade slip, and looked it up carefully.These are some materials about the Golden Pool Conference, which he gave as an extra gift when he signed up.

The so-called Golden Pool Tournament is actually a competition in the arena. There is nothing confusing about the rules. The first round is a one-on-one competition, and then there are challenges without rules.

The venue of the competition is above the Minghuan Lake in the center of Qingzhou City. This lake has a range of several thousand. At that time, the Chu Soul Guard of the Great Chu Dynasty will build [-] arenas on the lake, as well as a circular arched field, so that all competitors or enter.

After the first round of one-to-one competitions, the eliminated ones will leave, and the victors can freely enter the ring and accept challenges from anyone.

Those who have won ten consecutive victories can get a reward of [-] Congealing Pills.

Those who have achieved 20 consecutive victories can get a reward of [-] Congealing Pills.

Stack up in turn until a hundred consecutive victories are achieved, the reward will be doubled, and you can get 200 million Congealing Pills as a reward!

These reward items were all provided by the major chambers of commerce stationed in Qingzhou City. For any Jindan monk, this is a rather attractive reward.

After all, 200 Congealing Pills are enough to buy one top-grade earth-level magic weapon. If you can win a hundred consecutive victories and get [-] million Congealing Pills, wouldn't you be able to buy twenty top-grade magic weapons?

This kind of temptation, I am afraid that no monk can refuse.

Seeing this, Chen Xi finally understood why so many monks went to Qingzhou City to participate in the Golden Pond Conference. These generous rewards alone were irresistible.

In addition, in the Golden Pool Conference, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition and to ensure that the contestants do not die, there will be two Nirvana monks paying attention to each ring and saving people at any time.

This rule caused Chen Xi to frown. Originally, he thought that if he could meet Su Chan in the arena, it would be a good opportunity to kill him, but now it seems that this plan obviously cannot go ahead. up.

It seemed that he had to choose another opportunity. Chen Xi shook his head, and continued to flip through the jade slips in his hand. He did not let out a long breath until he understood all the rules like the back of his hand.

At this moment, Mu Kui rushed in happily, and said with a smile: "Master, these are some materials I bought from the market, which record the information of some masters who participated in the Golden Pool Conference. Take a quick look." After saying that, he handed the jade slip in his hand to Chen Xi.

"Oh, and this thing?" Chen Xi was greatly surprised, and took the jade slips to browse.

"Just now, the registration period for the Golden Pond Conference has ended. This jade was bought by some well-informed second-hand dealers from Chuhunwei. I thought it would be helpful to you, so I bought it back."

After Mu Kui finished speaking with a smile, seeing that Chen Xi was concentrating on the jade slips, he didn't want to bother him any more. He found a corner by himself, sat cross-legged on the ground, and took out a jade slip, and began browsing with interest.

This jade slip contained the information of all the monks who participated in the Golden Pond Conference this time. Chen Xi did a quick count, and there were a total of 30. This number was nothing, but the meaning it contained was astonishing.Because this means that there are a total of [-] Golden Core monks under the age of [-]!

What is this concept?

You must know that in the Liuyun Sword Sect, the number one force in southern Xinjiang, there are only a few hundred Jindan disciples, and those under the age of 30 are even more pitiful, only a dozen or so!

Comparing the two, it is natural to understand how amazing this number is.

Looking at it, Chen Xi saw some interest. He saw many familiar people in it, like Master Zhou, An Qianyu from the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, Wang Daoxu from the Mingxia Sect, etc., these people They are not simple people, and they are definitely in the top ranks among the younger generation of Golden Core cultivators.

However, people like Lin Moxuan, Su Jiankong of Huangtian Daozong, Xiao Linger of Jiudingxian School and others did not participate, and it is not known whether they are retreating to prepare for the Stars Conference, or they are disdainful to participate in the Golden Pond Conference.

Su Chan's name was also impressively included, and his Golden Core Perfection Realm cultivation level made Chen Xi frown. The information clearly showed that Su Chan came from Zhanwang Palace!

War Palace?

Chen Xi vaguely remembered that in addition to the central royal family, the Great Chu Dynasty had four major palaces, namely Prince Rui's Palace, Prince Zhan's Palace, Prince Ping's Palace, and Prince Qi's Palace.The masters of these four palaces are all brothers of the current Emperor Chu, relatives of the emperor, with great power and respect.

In terms of power, Prince Rui's Mansion faintly ranks as the number one existence among the Four Great Palaces, but when it comes to the strength of the princes themselves, Zhan Wang Huangfu and Taiwu rank first!

It is said that Huangfu Taiwu is a master in the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty, second only to the current Emperor Chu. His magic power is unfathomable, and he is brave and good at fighting.

Now, Su Chan's name suddenly appeared in the Zhanwang Mansion, and Chen Xi immediately realized one thing. The Li family in Songyan City was ordered by the Su family to persecute my Chen family. Could it be that the Su family was also ordered by others? Instigated?For example, Zhanwangfu?

"Perhaps find an opportunity to catch Su Chan and torture him, and then he will know everything..." Due to the lack of clues, Chen Xi pondered for a long time, but he was not sure about his guess. It fell on the jade slip again.

what.

Not long after, when Chen Xi saw everyone's cultivation, he was immediately speechless.

Mid-Golden Core, Late-Golden Core, Consummation of Golden Core... [-] contestants, except myself and a few others who are in the early-stage Golden Core, the others are all above the mid-Golden Core!

Strange, how could this be?Chen Xi thought for a moment, and immediately understood that in the eyes of most people, the contestants at the early stage of Golden Core were probably just a bunch of cannon fodder. In the first round of one-on-one competition, they might all be eliminated. It doesn't make much sense either.

And what made Chen Xi even more speechless was that in the southern border cultivation world of the Great Chu Dynasty, only a few hundred people participated in the Golden Pond Conference, which was so inconspicuous among the [-] participants.

Among them, Chen Xi didn't find any acquaintances, but looking at the names of these people, he remembered the forces behind them, like a young man named Qi Jun, who came from Liuyun Sword Sect.

"Where did you buy this jade slip?" Chen Xi raised his head and asked after reading the contents of the jade slip.

"Well, now there are vendors selling these things in every square and city of Qingzhou City." Mu Kui quickly took back the jade slips in his hand, and said, "Master, isn't the information complete?"

Chen Xi pondered and said, "The jade slips are just some names and origins. I want to see who my opponent is in the first round, so I can prepare in advance."

Mu Kui was stunned, then slapped his forehead, and said angrily: "When I just came back, I heard some vendors in Fangshi yelling that the first round of one-on-one list is about to be released, I can't wait, so I came back first Now, it seems that the list must have come out."

"Let's go and have a look together." Chen Xi said immediately.

With the end of the registration for the Golden Inverting Conference today, various news and rankings are also released, and the Golden Indicating Conference will start tomorrow, so almost all the contestants took advantage of the night to come to various markets in the city, hoping to buy some useful items. The news will come in handy when the game starts tomorrow.

Therefore, Qingzhou City tonight also looks extremely prosperous, with bright lights hanging high, fire dragons weaving like weaving, pedestrians shuttle endlessly, the whole city is bathed in bright lights, bright as day, and extremely beautiful.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like a copy of the list of the first round of one-on-one battles that has just been released at the Golden Pool Conference? I guarantee that you won't miss any highlights when you watch the match!"

"Exclusive reveal! Exclusive reveal! Do you want to know which masters can win the title of a hundred consecutive victories in this Golden Pool Conference? Our store specially hired a mysterious senior to do it himself, and dedicate to you a ranking list of comprehensive strength of masters. Whether you are watching the game, It's better to place a bet, with this list in hand, you are guaranteed a good harvest, and you will be pleasantly surprised!"

"A thousand-year-old store, quality assurance! All information in this store has been acquiesced and certified by Chu Hunwei's internal staff, please rest assured to buy!"

Walking on the streets of Qingzhou City, listening to the hustle and bustle of selling, Chen Xi also became very excited, and bought a list of the first round of matches, as well as several power rankings.

The list for the first round of battle is fixed, there are no variables, and the price is also very uniform, one hundred Congealing Infant Pills.

But this power ranking is different. The strength rankings launched by various merchants are almost different, and there are many versions.This is also easy to understand. After all, if the strength can be accurately judged, then the holding of the Golden Pool Conference will be meaningless.

Chen Xi glanced through it in a hurry, but he was a little disappointed. In almost all the power rankings, the top ten would have names such as Young Master Thursday, Wang Daoxu, An Qianyu, etc. There was nothing worth noting at all.

It wasn't until later that he suddenly realized that these lists were rather ranked according to their fame. People like Master Zhou are already famous people in the world. Compared with those who are not famous, they appear in the The position on the list is naturally higher.

Chen Xi looked at his name, and found that on almost all lists, his name was in the bottom ten, and he belonged to the bottom among the [-] contestants.

"What a bastard! How can the master's strength be at the bottom?" Mu Kui was also looking at the list, and after discovering this situation, he couldn't help being furious, and destroyed the list casually.

"Brother, why are you so angry? This list can't be taken as real, it's just a reference for those who like to gamble. You probably don't know that all the major markets in Qingzhou City are now open, and they plan to take advantage of the Golden Pool Conference. , earn a lot of money.” Seeing that Mu Kui destroyed the list, a monk next to him couldn’t help explaining happily.

"Gambling?" Mu Kui asked in amazement.

"Exactly, where do you think the rewards at the Golden Pond Conference came from? The major chambers of commerce will not give away millions of Congealing Pills for nothing. On the contrary, they are taking this opportunity to engage in some trading For people to place bets and earn a good fortune." The monk looked like he knew everything, and talked with eloquence.

"So that's how it is." Mu Kui's heart skipped a beat, thoughtfully.

Chen Xi was not interested in these things, so he walked around the street for a while before returning to his residence to recharge his batteries for tomorrow's competition.
