Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 251 Four Arts Competition (10)

Shi Yan estimated the time and said to the two of them, "It's getting late. Xinxin has a competition in the afternoon. Let's go eat now. After eating, we have to hurry to the arena."

Zhang Ran felt embarrassed when he heard Shi Yan's words. "I made you accompany me for a long time and delayed your meal. To express my apology, I will treat you to lunch."

Seeing that her expression was serious and not fake, Han Xin nodded in agreement, "Then we won't be polite to you."

"Why are you being polite? I have to thank you for helping me earn spirit stones. Do you think of a restaurant to eat at?"

"We are not locals and are not familiar with this place. You can choose the place."

Zhang Ran pointed to a restaurant in front of them and said, "Let's go to that one. I've been there once before and it tasted pretty good."

The main thing is that they don’t have much time left to eat, and if they continue to look for restaurants one by one, who knows how long it will take.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Zhang Ran asked carefully after the two of them tasted a few dishes.

Han Xin and Shi Yan nodded at the same time. The food was still edible, but not as delicious as the one they had in the restaurant where they rented the courtyard.

The cooking skills of the chefs here are about the same as those of the two of them. I will never dine here again.

Zhang Ran had no idea what the two were thinking, but when he saw that they also thought it was delicious, he smiled.

If the food doesn’t taste good, the restaurant won’t be able to stay open.

There were only three of them, and Zhang Ran ordered six dishes and a soup according to the situation, which were all eaten by them and not wasted.

When the three of them arrived at the outer city arena, no monks had yet come on stage, and the referee and judges had not arrived yet.

Seeing that there was still time, Han Xin called out to the two of them, "Before the game starts, let's go to the gambling area and take a look at the situation."

Zhang Ran didn't want to go. She was afraid that she would lose control and want to buy a few bets, but she was afraid that she would lose money if she bet on others. "What's so good about it? Even if you see it now, you can't place your bet."

"Hehe... You never know. What if I accidentally make it into the top 100?"

Han Xin just said it casually.

But when the three of them arrived at the gambling table, they actually saw Han Xin's name among the top 100.

Zhang Ran looked at her with a probing look in his eyes, "Did you already know that you were among the top 100?"

Han Xin shook her head. She was also dumbfounded. Okay, when did she enter the top 100?

Then she became happy again. In this case, she could place her bets in this round.

Han Xin looked at Shi Yan, signaling him to place his bet quickly.

Shi Yan received the eager look and immediately stepped forward, threw out a storage bag, and then pointed his finger at Han Xin's ranking with great pride, "One million, bet on her."

There were still many monks around who were hesitating about who to bet on. If the contestants in the front bet on them, they would be sure to make money, but there were too many monks betting on them, so even if they won in the end, they would not get many spirit stones.

At this moment, they suddenly heard that someone was betting one million medium-grade spirit stones, and they were all shocked by this person's courage.

Everyone looked at Shi Yan as if they were a nouveau riche, but when they saw the ranking of the person Shi Yan had bet on, their eyes immediately changed, as if they were looking at a fool with a lot of money.

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to bet one million? Don't want to change it?" After the dealer counted the spirit stones in the storage bag, he looked up at Shi Yan and asked for confirmation again.

"No need to change it, hurry up and register." Shi Yan was a little impatient.

The referees and judges had already taken their seats, indicating that the competition was about to begin. The dealer saw that he had made up his mind and immediately registered him.

The conditions for this bet by the alchemy group are very simple, which is to refine a pill that meets the requirements within the specified time.

It sounds simple, but that is only for alchemists who can make elixirs.

It is undoubtedly difficult for those alchemists who are unable to refine the medicine.

After confirming that the dealer's registration was correct, Shi Yan pulled Han Xin and walked quickly towards the arena.

At the same time, he sent a message to Zhang Ran and told her to leave first.

Zhang Ran took out 50,000 middle-grade spirit stones and said, "I'll bet on her too."

The spirit stones on his body still have many uses, so Zhang Ran doesn't dare to use too many of them.

"Hey...Fellow Daoist, what's wrong with you? Why are you all betting on her? Her ranking is not that good."

She is ranked second to last among the top 100. What is so outstanding about her that so many people come to bet on her?

Zhang Ran glanced at the person who was angry and said, "We are friends."

The man was first frozen by Zhang Ran's coldness, then he realized what she said and suddenly understood that they were friends. No wonder they would bet on that man.

But looking at that person's ranking, wouldn't betting on her mean that the spirit stones would be wasted?
Oh...never mind, that’s other people’s business, what does it have to do with them?

As soon as Han Xin and Shi Yan walked to the stage, the referee on the stage announced the contestants to enter the arena.

Han Xin only had time to say to Shi Yan, "I'm going to the stage," before a figure flashed onto the stage and she sat in her seat according to the number plate.

"This round of competition is still about refining medicinal pills. The organizer has prepared medicinal materials for everyone. You can pass the test if you can refine a third-level medicinal pill within the limited medicinal materials and the specified time."

The referee glanced at the incense and candles in front of him, waved his hand to light them, and said, "Begin."

Han Xin looked at the dozens of medicinal herbs placed in front of her, scanned them with her spiritual sense, and quickly withdrew her spiritual sense.

Those medicinal materials look very messy. At a quick glance, it seems that there is a lack of medicinal materials for refining any elixir. But if you think about it carefully, you can actually put together two or three elixir recipes.

Han Xin picked out the simplest pill recipe. She selected eleven herbs from the dozens of herbs, then took out the pill furnace, started the earth fire, and slowly began to refine the pill.

After the pills were refined, his spiritual consciousness swept into the furnace, and eight round pills lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

Four top-grade, three mid-grade and one low-grade, affected by the fact of entering the top 100, the performance this time was a bit abnormal.

But luckily she didn't mess up her game.

The one million invested by A Yan was not wasted.

Han Xin didn't want to play the pig and eat the tiger today, so she waved directly to the referee.

The referees and judges' spiritual senses were open throughout almost the entire competition, so the moment Han Xin finished refining, several judges saw it.

They were very familiar with this little girl. In the previous rounds, every time she finished refining the pills, she was not in a hurry to call the referee to check. Why did she take the initiative this time?

A foundation-building cultivator walked towards Han Xin holding a tray. When the other person came to Han Xin's side, she immediately opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.
