The red cloth was lifted, and the golden light shone.
On the table of the Eight Immortals, there was a pair of blood jade lions, the workmanship was incomparably exquisite, one could tell at a glance that they were top-grade goods, and they were very valuable.
"Mother? What is the meaning of this, and who sent it? This pair of lions is also very unique."
Ye Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, put the pair of lions in her palms with delicate hands, and played with them well.
She was still young, and in front of her relatives, she naturally shed her usual disguise, revealing her girlish feelings.
"It's your baby, Lu Ankang entrusted someone to send it." Mrs. Zhong said in a calm voice, staring at her daughter's expression, as if she wanted to see something from it.
"What? It's him again?"
A look of displeasure flashed across Ye Wanyue's brows, and she slammed the blood jade lion on the table: "Mother, haven't I said it several times, I don't want anything he sends!"
"Take it easy, what if such a valuable thing is broken?"
Mrs. Zhong glared at her angrily, and carefully put away the pair of lions with the red cloth.
"Mother, don't put it away, I'll return it to that surnamed Lu right now!"
"Wait! Stop it for me."
Mrs. Zhong had a sullen face, and lifted the lion high, leaving Ye Wanyue caught in the air.
"mother!"
Mrs. Zhong looked at her daughter solemnly, and said seriously: "Listen, Wanyue, this ceremony is different from the previous ones, and it has something to do with tomorrow's alchemy competition."
As soon as these words came out, even Ye Zifeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
He smiled and said, "How do you say? What's the relationship between the two?"
Mrs. Zhong gave Ye Wanyue a cold look, and did not answer him directly, but turned her head to look at Ye Wanyue seriously.
With Ye Jiudao not around, she didn't intend to save Ye Zifeng any face.
"Mr. Lu, he said that he has already thought about it for you Wanyue. Since you are bound to lose tomorrow, you just need to refine the alchemy for a while, pretend to be sick and unable to refine the alchemy, and then let Ye Zifeng take over the alchemy. Defeated. At that time, not only will this stone lion be given to us, but there will also be many compensation gifts in the future... "
"Let me take over alchemy, so that's the case, he has a good plan." Ye Zifeng nodded, smiling.
What Lu Ankang and the others did was very clear, they wanted Ye Zifeng to take over this mess, completely defeated and frustrate him.
"Stop stop! Stop talking!"
A look of anger appeared on Ye Wanyue's pretty face: "There is no need to discuss this matter! He, Lu Ankang, treats me as someone, and doing this is simply an insult to me!"
"Sigh... Wanyue, don't be so stubborn. The matter has come to this point, and the master is not at home. You can see if it's right tomorrow. If you have a judgment, it's not too late to make a decision."
Mrs. Zhong sighed slightly and offered some persuasion.
"I… "
Seeing that Ye Wanyue was silent, she immediately leaned forward, whispered into her ear, and spoke.
"Wan Yue... listen to my mother, I didn't ask you to admit defeat directly, you try it first, if it doesn't work, let Ye Zifeng take over for you, even if you really lose, it won't hurt your face as an earth-grade alchemist .”
"But... if you do it like this, won't it hurt Ye Zifeng's face?"
Ye Wanyue still shook her head: "No, I lose if I lose, my business is my business, I will not transfer this embarrassing matter to others."
As she spoke, she raised her head and took a deep look at Ye Zifeng.
However, Ye Zifeng was silent for a moment, and suddenly a smile rose from the corner of his mouth.
He took a step forward: "I think... Lu Ankang's proposal is not bad. Leave the second half of tomorrow to me for alchemy."
"What?"
Ye Wanyue's bright eyes flickered, she covered her mouth in horror, and looked at Ye Zifeng in surprise.
Others avoid it, but he still accepts it
Is his brain really alright
You know, according to Lu Ankang's proposal, if they have a chance to win the competition tomorrow, they will definitely humiliate Ye Zifeng.
In her opinion, this is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing.
She hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Ye Zifeng, don't you really think that after buying so many medicinal materials, they will be useful tomorrow?"
"Of course, otherwise, do you think I spent the fifty thousand gold coins for nothing?"
"you… "
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly and looked at her dazed expression.
"I don't guarantee it, but what I can tell you is that since I have successfully bought the auxiliary medicinal materials I need, I will have a five-point chance of winning tomorrow's battle, and the rest will depend on tomorrow's specific arrangements. If you want to win our group, you must... pay a bloody price!"
"Wait, what were you talking about just now? Fifty thousand gold coins?"
Madam Zhong looked at Ye Zifeng blankly, a little confused.
Ye Zifeng and Ye Zifeng looked at each other, and even smiled...
…
Early the next morning.
Countless disciples gathered in the front mountain of Fengni Academy, it was very lively.
And in an open area, there were only five alchemy furnaces, neatly arranged, all of which were of profound grade.
Four groups of people, about ten people in each group, arrived one after another.
The only thing missing was Ye Zifeng's team.
"It's almost time, where are Ye Wanyue and the others? Why haven't they shown up yet?"
Xu Datong laughed loudly: "Could it be that they are afraid of this battle and feel that they will lose, so they decide to call it sick and refrain from the appointment and abstain directly?"
Lu Ankang also frowned, but did not relax.
"Well... wait a little longer."
What he wants is a complete victory, and the situation where he wins because the opponent forfeit is not what he expected.
at the same time.
Qi Zimo, who was standing quietly beside him, suddenly had a gleam of light in his insubstantial pupils, and slowly raised his head.
"coming."
"What's coming?"
Following the direction where Qi Zimo raised his head, a group of people raised their eyes and looked at the past.
The two people in front of them followed each other step by step and acted swiftly and resolutely.
Isn't it Ye Zifeng and Ye Wanyue
When Mr. Mo caught a glimpse of the two of them appearing, he reluctantly let go of the stone in his heart.
However, just as he let go of his heart, a look of blame immediately appeared on his face, and he snorted coldly.
"There are so many challengers waiting here today, it's too late for you to come."
"Is it late? It should be said, just right." Ye Zifeng smiled slightly and said.
When his voice fell, only a huge bell rang with a "boom".
A series of three melodious bells came from the back mountain, and suddenly spread throughout the entire Fengni Academy.
Indeed, they arrived just in time and were not late.
"You..." Mo Lao's expression froze, his face twitched, and he said coldly.
"I don't know how to learn, but I just know how to play tricks. I will have a real competition later. Let's see how you step down?"
So, he chuckled, turned his head away, clapped his palms, and made a crisp sound.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll repeat the rules I said yesterday to everyone. It's actually very simple. The results of the Dou Dan challenge are based on the total number of pills obtained by each group at the end. Judging by the quality, each person is equipped with a black-grade alchemy furnace, there are a large number of medicinal materials to choose from, and some necessary auxiliary medicinal materials can be used by themselves."
He paused for a moment: "So far, do you have any questions?"
Seeing no response from the crowd.
So, he smiled calmly and continued.
"Also, there is a total time limit of two hours. During the refining process, different groups are not allowed to communicate with each other. Violators will be warned once, and will be disqualified for the second time. The rules are simple, everyone understands."
"No problem, Mr. Mo, let's start quickly. I, Xu Datong, can't wait."
"That's right, after so long, the alchemy formulas Master asked me to memorize last night, I still remembered them earlier, but now, I almost forgot them." As soon as the words came out, the people around immediately burst into laughter. Voice.
Seeing the high spirits of the crowd, Mo Lao let out a chuckle and nodded solemnly.
"Okay! If that's the case, then I'm announcing that the challenge of fighting alchemy has officially started! It will last for two hours, and I hope everyone will go all out. Some people, please remember what your original intention of registering for the competition is!"
Immediately, Mo Lao took a meaningful look at Lu Ankang.
Obviously, he has already seen that Lu Ankang has such a hostile feeling towards Ye Zifeng.
"If there is no objection, then the Challenge of Fighting Alchemy, I, Mo Lao, will officially start!"
The voice fell.
"Go! Go!"
Everyone who still had a playful look on their faces just now changed to a serious expression, and rushed to the front of the alchemy furnace as fast as possible, carefully inspecting the main medicinal materials placed on the ground.
Ye Zifeng didn't lag behind at all, he walked quickly to the edge of the alchemy stove, and began to look at it carefully.
"Not bad, not bad! As expected of Fengni Academy, the medicinal materials prepared for us are indeed much better than those in Tiandao City." Ye Zifeng bent down, staring at the pile of medicinal materials with ecstasy, satisfied nodded.
Immediately, he turned his head back, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Wanyue, do you remember what I said yesterday, as long as I have auxiliary medicinal materials, I can have a 50% chance of winning, and now I'm afraid, I can increase the chance of winning by 10%."
"This... 60% chance of winning?"
If you haven't refined your pill yet, you dare to say that you have a 60% chance of winning.
Even Ye Wanyue dared not say this.
Ye Wanyue stared blankly at Ye Zifeng for a moment, and after a while, she shook her head helplessly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? With such a serious look, I was almost blinded by you."
She smiled wryly, her eyes flashed, and she said with concentration: "Okay, Ye Zifeng, you will be my assistant at the side, and I'm about to start picking medicinal materials and preparing alchemy!"
