Because Liu Bingqian had been procrastinating and refusing to come to Tiandao City before, this time, she came late on the last day before the alchemy competition, so she didn't have much time to prepare for the alchemy competition.
In fact, she came here just to show face to her master, old ghost Mu Yun, not for any ranking.
After all, the host of this Pill Fighting Contest is Muyun Mansion itself!
"Bingqian, Bingqian, today is the Pill Fighting Competition, and it will start in another hour, why are you still not up?" Ye Zifeng knocked on Liu Bingqian's door with a puzzled expression.
Obviously he was forced by Liu Bingqian to participate in the Dou Dan competition, but now Liu Bingqian is hiding in the room and can't come out.
After Yang Jing finished washing, she happened to come out and saw Ye Zifeng knocking on the door, she walked over with a smile on her face.
"Young Master Ye, you don't know that Junior Sister has a deep psychological shadow on the Dou Dan Competition. If she goes early, she will definitely be ridiculed by others, so she pretended to be asleep on purpose."
Ye Zifeng pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Miss Jing, please go in and call her out."
"That's easy." Yang Jing giggled, and said softly to the door: "Junior Sister, I know you've woken up, and Young Master Ye is already waiting outside the door, a little angry!"
"What?"
There was a rush of footsteps coming from inside the door. Under Ye Zifeng's slight surprise, after a while, she pushed open the door, her eyelids drooped, and two red clouds floated on her cheeks. Because she just woke up, she The long hair in the shawl has not been completely taken care of, but it shows a messy beauty.
"Brother rough man, don't be angry, I'm coming out."
There was a hint of anxiety in her beautiful eyes, but when she saw Ye Zifeng didn't look angry at all, she suddenly realized, turned her head, wrinkled her little nose, and gave Yang Jing a dissatisfied look.
"Senior sister, is it interesting for you to play me?"
Yang Jing giggled: "If you don't do this, like before, you must wait until the moment when the fight against alchemy is about to start, won't you?"
Ye Zifeng smiled faintly, never thought that this Yang Jing looked weak, but there was a hint of teasing in her bones, if her body was a little better, she would definitely be a weird girl.
Liu Bingqian smiled awkwardly, and nodded stubbornly: "Just go, this time, I have a rough brother to help me out, so I won't take the bottom place no matter what!"
She glanced at Ye Zifeng, and suddenly she felt more courageous in her heart.
"Let's go." Ye Zifeng's exit was the conclusion, and he was also looking forward to what kind of alchemy master he would meet in this continent.
"Okay!" Liu Bingqian tidied up Fengyi a little, and followed Ye Zifeng and Yang Jing to the depths of Muyun Mansion.
After a lapse of one day, the Muyun Mansion, which seemed a little deserted yesterday, was already crowded with people today.
As soon as Liu Bingqian and the others walked out of the residence, they were squeezed into a corner by a large crowd.
Ye Zifeng frowned involuntarily: "What's going on, is this a competition for alchemy or a vegetable market, why are there so many people here?"
If martial arts practitioners are already one out of ten, the number of alchemists is even one out of a hundred, and those who can participate in the alchemy competition are selected one in a thousand or even one in a thousand. According to Ye Zifeng's thinking, the number of people Shouldn't be too much.
Yang Jing smiled calmly: "Young Master Ye, this is something you don't know. In the Pill Fighting Competition, a part of all the pills refined will be specially taken out and sold to these people as a subsidy for the preparation of the Fighting Pill Competition. The medicinal materials are needed, so these people are not here to participate in the competition, but to see if there are any suitable medicinal pills to buy."
"I see."
Ye Zifeng smiled as if he had realized something, expressing his understanding, thinking that this old ghost Muyun is quite shrewd and would not do anything to lose money. Otherwise, some people swallowed all the cost of the medicinal materials for a moment of pleasure, that is to make their faces swollen and fat.
Several people around saw Liu Bingqian and Yang Jing sharp-eyed, and immediately began to laugh and discuss.
"Old Hong, did you see that girl over there who looks like a fairy is Miss Liu from Leizhou City. She took the last place a few times before, and she is quite thin-skinned. Why is she still there this time?" come face?"
"Hahahaha... Old Feng, if you want me to say, Miss Liu is also the highlight of this competition. Every time I see the scene where this stunning beauty takes the last place and sheds tears, I will never forget it for a long time."
"But look, she brought another follower this time. I don't know how strong he is? Maybe because of him, Miss Liu can turn around this time?"
"It's a joke, how much strength does he have when he looks like he has no hair yet? This time Big Brother Chu opened the handicap. Bet or not, I will bet that Miss Liu will be the last one!"
"Bet! I also bet that Miss Liu will be the last one!"
Relying on the large number of people around them, these few people thought that others could not hear what they were talking about, but Liu Bingqian and the others could hear them very clearly.
Liu Bingqian's apricot eyebrows were erected, and she wanted to refute a few words, but for a while, she didn't know how to refute. After all, she had lost so badly in the previous fights against alchemy that she couldn't even raise her head to see her. people. If not, why did she hide in the room before and refused to come out.
Yang Jing sighed slightly, and shook Liu Bingqian's hands. In her eyes, there was a feeling of caring between senior sisters and senior sisters.
Ye Zifeng was silent for a while, then said lightly: "It's not time yet, I'll go out for a while and come back later, why don't you go in first."
Liu Bingqian looked at him suspiciously, and wanted to ask him the reason, but immediately, she smiled lightly: "Okay, then go and come back quickly..."
Originally, she was the one who insisted on pulling Ye Zifeng to participate in the Pill Fighting Competition, so naturally she couldn't interfere with his freedom too much, for fear of arousing Ye Zifeng's resentment.
Ye Zifeng smiled and nodded, walked directly into the crowd, and disappeared after a while...
Among the crowd who were discussing betting on Liu Bingqian's last place just now, a handsome young man suddenly squeezed in.
Someone has already recognized that he is the person who came with Liu Bingqian, and suddenly said with a little panic: "Boy, what are you doing here?"
Ye Zifeng snorted coldly: "Gathering a crowd to gamble, winning or losing with gold coins, there is nothing wrong with it in a casino, but today this is Muyun Mansion, the scene of the Pill Fighting Competition, it is simply as if the organizer is nothing, if you do this..."
When the leader saw a stabbing head coming, his face changed slightly and he said: "What do you want to do? The few of us are just playing around privately, and we don't have the slightest intention of underestimating the owner. How can it be regarded as gathering people to gamble?"
However, he is in someone else's house after all now, so he doesn't have enough confidence to speak.
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly: "I mean, if you do this, can you let me join?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and their eyes lit up: "No way, you are participating in the competition, if you also participate in gambling..."
"Aren't you just playing casually in private? Do you need to have so many rules?" Ye Zifeng's smile was very weak.
Seeing that he was not the one who came to provoke trouble, the leader pondered for a while: "Yes, it is possible, but it depends on how you bet. For example, if you bet that you and Liu Bingqian are the bottom, I'm afraid we won't be able to accompany you." it's..."
At the same time as these words fell, the entire group burst into laughter.
That's right, so many people already thought that Liu Bingqian was undoubtedly at the bottom, if Ye Zifeng bet again that he would lose, it would be meaningless.
"Besides, do you have any gambling money? How much money can you usually bring with you as a child of a family from Leizhou City?"
Ye Zifeng smiled slightly, and took out a large bag containing gold coins from his bosom, everyone looked at it casually, guessing that there might not be less than a thousand gold coins in it, the laughing voices stopped abruptly, and seriously Looking at Ye Zifeng, they all became quiet.
"Money, I have it. There are a total of 1,200 gold coins here, not a lot."
Most of the gold coins on Ye Zifeng's body were picked up from Wang Lin and Wang Ruoxing, and some of them were entrusted to him by Ye Zhongtian, which was equal to the sum of the children of the three top families in Leizhou City, which is naturally very large.
A light flashed in the leader's eyes, and then he took a serious look at Ye Zifeng, treating him as number one.
"My name is Liang Jiu. You can call me Brother Jiu. Tell me, how do you want to bet? I can consider it if it suits me." They were just betting on a small scale, and they didn't want to make it big. , so the form of betting is also very casual, the focus is on making everyone happy.
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly: "Let me ask first, how many people participated in the Alchemy Competition?"
The leader was startled when he heard the words, he burst out laughing, and patted the shoulders of the people around him, the rest of the people also showed disdain, looking at Ye Zifeng with contempt.
"Little brother, you don't even know this, so you dare to participate in the Pill Fighting Competition? It seems that Miss Liu is going to be at the bottom of the list again this time!"
"That's right, the Pill Fighting Competition is a duel between alchemy masters from five small towns in Tiandao City. Naturally, there are five groups of people participating! Miss Liu, why don't you even tell you this?"
Ye Zifeng smiled faintly: "Five groups of people will compete, so I can get the top three anyway, right? How about this, we can sign a blood contract, if I don't get the top three, all the 1,200 gold coins will belong to you !"
Liang Jiu was so surprised that he poked there blankly like half a piece of wood. Even though he had rich experience, he was shocked by the young man in front of him. He thought that this young man must be the first time to participate in the fight How could the competition be so loud? However, the lottery of 1,200 gold coins is indeed a big deal! For some declining families, it can even be regarded as a huge sum of money.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked in a daze, "Then what if you got the top three?"
