Li Yan looked at the four people in front of him, but he was quite surprised.
"The first-class family is indeed extraordinary. Three Nascent Soul cultivators were present at this appearance."
In his perception, there were three Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses among the four people in front. However, based on Li Yan's current cultivation level, he was unable to accurately determine the specific realms of these people.
Among the four people in front, there is another one who is at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and may even be a monk in the False Infant Realm. Li Yan is also unable to determine the other person's realm cultivation.
But the aura of the young man with abyss-like eyes in front of him was much more restrained than that of the other two middle-aged Nascent Souls beside him. His black hair was casually spread out, and he wore a long black gown, which gave people a feeling of being like an abyss or an ocean.
The appearance of these Nascent Soul monks immediately silenced the entire square. Li Yan found that the eyes of many people looking at the young man were full of some kind of fanaticism, and he immediately made some judgments in his heart.
Soon, all eight people walked up to the steps, and the young man in a dark gown sat in the middle. Hu Chen Wan Dong sat beside him.
In the other four seats on both sides of him, a middle-aged Nascent Soul monk and an old man in the late Jindan stage were sitting on one side at the same time; the Grand Mistress Xie Xiaoxiao was next to the middle-aged Nascent Soul monk, Ye Luoyan. He sat next to the old man in the late Jindan stage.
The two seats on the other side were occupied by another middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator. Next to him was Erfangchi Dongli, but there was no one behind the other table.
Li Yan also followed everyone's gaze and looked at these people, but he was a little surprised why there was still an empty seat above.
Just after the people above were seated, four figures flew directly to the center of the venue from a corner of the square. After these four people stood still, they were four old men. They all had the early stage of Jindan cultivation.
After the four of them arrived at the center of the venue, they saluted the young man in the dark gown and the other three.
"See Ancestor, can we start the battle for the inheritance son now?"
The dark-colored young man sitting in the middle raised his hand and flicked the four people up.
This person turned out to be the ancestor of the Huchen family, and he looked so young. Although Li Yan had already guessed after hearing this, he still sighed in his heart that he looked so young.
In fact, the age of this ancestor of Huchen is at least five hundred years old. I don't know if it is because of his superb martial arts or because he has good looks.
Ancestor Huchen looked around and then spoke loudly.
"Today is the day of the battle for the next generation son of my Huchen family. This is a family matter, and we don't invite many other friends from the same profession.
These three Taoist friends are not outsiders, so they need to witness the ceremony!
It's just that usually they are all divine dragons who only hear their name but never see their person. This time, I, the juniors of the Huchen family, have a fairy tale connection. "
Speaking of this, Patriarch Huchen smiled.
When he said these words, most of the Juchen family sitting on both sides looked puzzled, but many people had already guessed the identities of these people.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes, while Zhuo Lingfeng on the side also lost his dull look, and his eyes became solemn.
"These are the ancestors of the Xie family, the Ye family, and the Chi family. They are all the in-laws of my Huchen family, hehehe..."
As he spoke, Patriarch Huchen pointed at the three of them with one hand. Although he did not specify them one by one, everyone knew clearly just from the positions where the three wives of the house masters sat.
The person with the weakest cultivation here is the ancestor of the Ye family, the old man with a fake appearance and a fake infant cultivation.
"I originally invited the leader of the 'Bie Xue Sect' to come over, but he is busy with something, which is really a pity."
As Patriarch Huchen spoke, he pointed at the empty seat beside the Patriarch of the Chi family and said with a look of regret on his face.
As soon as he said these words, Hu Chenwan's body next to him trembled slightly inadvertently, and then returned to normal.
Li Yan noticed that when ancestor Hu Chen said "Farewell Snow Sect", Hu Chen Wuding's face turned pale, and Zhuo Lingfeng beside him was obviously breathing a little heavier.
At the same time, he clearly felt the eyes of many people in the audience, all looking towards Huchen Wuding.
Many of these gazes contained coldness and ridicule, and the gaze cast by Hu Chen Wanli was full of ridicule and sarcasm. How could Li Yan not understand it at this moment.
"I think the 'Bie Xue Sect' is the sect where Mother Huchen Wuding and Zhuo Lingfeng belong. Ancestor Huchen may have invited them but he may not have actually invited them.
The strength of a leader of a low-end sect may not even reach the golden elixir. Even if he is invited, how can he dare to come
What's more, his disciple is a daughter-in-law who escaped from the Huchen family, but when he came, he would only attract attention. "
"Okay, it's getting late, Ting Chun, please announce the rules of this competition!"
Ancestor Huchen didn't want to say more. After a few words, he looked at the four people standing in the square. These four people were the Jindan elders of the Huchen family.
The old man whom he called "Tingchun" bowed slightly, and the other three elders immediately dispersed, went directly to the steps where Patriarch Huchen and the others were seated, and actually sat down cross-legged.
Huchen Tingchun was an old man with a ruddy complexion. He had silver hair that was as sharp as needles. He looked extremely powerful. After he saluted Ancestor Huchen, he stood up straight again and looked at the steps on both sides.
"The competition is divided into two games. In the first game, the top ten will be selected, and in the second game, the ten players will decide the winner. The final winner is the son of the next generation of my Juchen family, so the first game begins now."
Huchen Tingchun spoke very neatly, and went straight to the topic in two sentences. Then he looked at the ancestor Huchen on the stage, who smiled at him and nodded.
After Hu Chen received the permission, he walked to the steps and sat cross-legged opposite the three elders.
Then, when the others didn't quite understand, the four of them raised their hands in unison and drew a Yin-Yang magic formula on their chests. Suddenly, a surging magic power suddenly rose from their hands.
Then, the four of them shouted loudly at the same time.
"go!"
Four dazzling rays of light rose from their chests and shot into the sky above in an instant. A huge ball of light immediately appeared in the sky.
As soon as the light ball appeared, nearly a hundred small gray light masks descended from above. These small light masks were like small cages and fell on the square below.
"All the participating disciples quickly entered the light shield. Each person can only enter one light shield. The competition will start ten breaths later. It will end in half an hour. The actual test of this level is basic pharmacology, which is the basis of all the immortal arts of my Huchen family. ”
Just as the light shield fell, the head of the family, Hu Chen Wandong, stood up, glanced at both sides, and shouted in a deep voice.
As soon as he stopped shouting, there was an uproar on the steps on both sides. Then, after Hu Chen Wan Dong glanced at him coldly, they all responded quickly. "Yes, Master!"
Then, dozens of figures were seen, like moths flying into a flame, causing bursts of sound to pierce the air, shooting towards the small black light masks on the square from the stands. Among them were Ke Chen Wuding, Ke Chen Hui. Qing et al.
At the moment when everyone was flying up, Hu Chen Wanli smiled sinisterly at Hu Chen Wuding, and said while he was still in the air.
"In the first battle, I will beat you back to your slave mother!"
Then, before Hu Chen Wuding could look over, he had already dodged away.
Just as he was about to leave, Hu Chen's unsteady figure paused, and his eyes looking at Hu Chen Wanli became even colder.
At this time, his shoulder was lightly patted by a smooth white jade palm.
"Wuding, no matter what that guy said just now, don't take it to heart. It's just a trick to anger you! Let's go, we only have half an hour here."
It was Hu Chen who was returning the favor. She had already guessed what Hu Chen was doing when she saw him moving his lips slightly as he looked away from thousands of miles away.
Hu Chen's Wuding expression returned to calmness. He looked at Hu Chen and nodded in return. The two of them jumped up and flew towards the center of the square.
After Huchen Wuding also flew towards the square, Huchen Jianghai on the other side witnessed all this. He smiled, raised the corner of his mouth, and disappeared from the place into a ray of light.
On the main stage, Hu Chen Wandong bowed slightly to his father-in-law.
"What they are competing on this time is the most basic pharmacology. In each mask, there will be fragments of tens of thousands of medicinal herbs.
They have to use their own abilities to re-condensate these fragments and splice them into intact herbs within half an hour. In the end, whoever splices and condenses more plants will win.
There is no right or wrong here. Only when the splicing is correct can it come together. Otherwise, you can only try one piece at a time, which may succeed, but it will take at least a few days, or even longer, to complete.
In order to prevent anyone from cheating, all outsiders' spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate the light shield, and they cannot see the actions of the people competing inside. But whoever condenses more complete plants, the color of his mask will continue to deepen. "
Hu Chen Wan Dong seemed to be explaining to several spectators, but his voice resounded throughout the entire venue, allowing everyone here to hear clearly.
"At the same time, this kind of competition is very mentally draining, so some disciples may not be able to continue due to lack of spiritual consciousness in less than half an hour, and will be directly ejected from the light shield."
After Hu Chen Wan Dong said this, he sat down.
The Xie family Yuanying ancestors, the Chi family Yuanying ancestors, and the Ye family ancestors also nodded.
After Li Yan sat on the steps and listened, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He had studied a lot of poisons over the years, but this was the first time he heard of such an assessment.
Crush a medicinal herb into pieces and then reorganize them together according to your own understanding. This requires a detailed study of each herb to do it.
Even the texture and meridians within it need to be very clear. Moreover, tens of thousands of medicinal herb fragments can be disrupted and mixed together. You can imagine how difficult it is.
"The cultivation of this poisonous cultivator family has reached such a perverted level!"
Li Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. On the other hand, Zhuo Lingfeng beside him had calmed down his aura and returned to his unruffled appearance, as if he was very confident in Hu Chen Wuding.
Behind them, there were sounds of gasping, and many people began to whisper in low voices.
"Why is the inheritance test so difficult this time? I've heard that in previous tests, although pharmacological basics were also tested, they usually only tested some unorthodox uses of herbal medicines.
There is also the matter of distributing the raw materials and refining the corresponding elixir within a specified time. At that time, the ranking will be divided according to the grade of the successfully refined elixir. "
"This assessment is set by the ancestor himself, so it is different!"
"In half an hour, I don't know how many plants I can gather if I go in?"
"I don't know about that. The light shield isolates the consciousness and prevents anyone from cheating on sound transmission. Therefore, there is no way to know how big the herb that the family owner said is separated into pieces and how big the fragments are..."
While everyone in the stands was whispering, the expression of Patriarch Huchen in front remained unchanged, but there was a sneer in his heart.
"You are waiting for some ideas, I don't know how to forcefully improve your cultivation level, or hide your cultivation level and want to suddenly explode...
Humph, do you really think that I will directly comply with your wishes and arrange for these tribesmen to fight with each other? "
Although he looked towards the square, he was secretly paying attention to the expressions of the ancestors of those families. Just now, when Hu Chen Wan Dong announced the content of the competition, he could clearly sense that the faces of the ancestors of the three families twitched.
"Hehehehe... You guys all covet my Huchen family. Who will be the winner in the end? We'll see!"
Ancestor Huchen sneered in his heart.
People who cultivate immortality are in danger every step of the way, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed. The same is true for sects and families. Everyone wants to annex others and strengthen their own family.
At this time, several other ancestors were already cursing Ancestor Huchen in their hearts.
"This old ghost is too cunning. The content of today's game that I have previously discovered is all false."
After Hu Chen Wuding entered the light shield, he felt his eyes go dark, and then he felt as if he was standing in an endless void, surrounded by quiet nothingness.
There were no sun, moon or stars in the sky, as if there was only one person left in the whole world.
And just as he was looking around, a majestic voice suddenly came from the void.
"After three breaths, the game begins."
At the same time as the sound came out, tens of thousands of medicinal herbs appeared densely in the endless void.
The moment these herbs appeared, Hu Chen was stunned and split into tens of millions of fragments. Some are just a small section of roots, some are just a small cross-section of a branch, and some even look like an edge of a leaf.
"Within half an hour, the one who reorganizes and condenses the most complete herbs will win the round!"
The majestic voice sounded again.
