Ji Pianpian smiled sweetly, nodded and said, "Thank you, Young Master Yao, for your concern. I have recovered."
"That's very good." Yao Xinghai smiled.
The two of them were exchanging pleasantries. Mu Qingge accidentally saw the cold air emanating from Yingze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up in amusement. Ahem, I have to say that with Si Mo's unremitting efforts, she finally became more enlightened about the affairs between men and women.
At least, she could see the faint unhappiness in Yingze's heart at this moment.
"Young Master Yao is not here just to show his friendship as a landlord, right?" Yingze suddenly said.
His words made the four of them look at him.
Ji Yaohua blinked inexplicably, wondering if Yingze had taken the wrong medicine. Usually when it comes to things like this, doesn't he just sit there like an ice cube or a piece of wood and act cool
Ji Pianpian also looked at him in surprise. Suddenly, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head to hide it.
Mu Qingge looked like he was watching a good show.
Only Yao Xinghai didn't know the reason, let alone what was wrong with his polite greeting just now. He just replied to Yingze's words: "Yes, I came today for another reason."
Yingze pursed his lips, waiting for his next words.
The dinner table also became quiet.
At this time, Mu Qingge leaned lazily on the back of the chair with a leisurely expression, as if he was an outsider.
Her reaction made Yao Xinghai, who looked towards her, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had obviously discussed it with her first, but now he had a resigned expression, which made him feel that he was not very welcome!
However, no matter what, Yao Xinghai still wants to achieve his goal.
He said to Ji Yaohua and Yingze: "More than four years later, the tomb of the gods was born. The news has been spread from the temple to various ancient tribes. I'm afraid the two young masters already know about it, right?"
Ji Yaohua nodded with a smile, while Yingze remained silent.
In fact, both of them, plus Mu Qingge, knew about this matter earlier.
According to Ji Yaohua's words, who made Goddess Xi one of their own
Yao Xinghai paused and said, "I hope that I can form a team with you all to explore the tomb of the gods together."
He stated his purpose, but there was silence in the room.
Ying Ze pursed his lips and said nothing, while Ji Yaohua lay on the edge of the table, resting her hands on the table, fidgeting with the empty teacup with her slender fingers, and said with a smile: "Young Master Yao, I didn't mean to embarrass you. You also know, God's Tomb It is extremely dangerous, and no one can tell who and what will happen to us. Young Master Yao wants to join us, so he naturally takes a fancy to our strength, but why should we agree?"
His words sounded a bit unworthy of beating.
However, this is the fact.
In such an experience, it is absolutely impossible to bring an irrelevant person with you just because of favors.
Ji Yaohua continued: "In terms of strength and combat effectiveness, on our side, in addition to the top Qingying, there is also me, the third." As he said, he pointed to Yingze, "Well, there is also the fifth .”
"When it comes to alchemy, you may be very powerful, but our Qingge is not bad either! Otherwise, you wouldn't have competed with her in the Alchemy Conference. In terms of resourcefulness, strategizing, and leadership, our family is light. Songs are not inferior to others. So, what can you bring to us by joining us?" Ji Yaohua finished these words with a smile, but after she finished speaking, it was difficult to answer.
Yao Xinghai, the dignified leader of the Alchemy Academy and the fourth most talented person on the Youth Ranking, was now described as a useless person in Ji Yaohua's mouth. If he had been more arrogant, he might have walked away angrily at this moment.
Fortunately, Yao Xinghai is an alchemist. Although the alchemist has an arrogant temper, he also pays attention to cultivating peace. In addition, he attaches great importance to the trip to the God's Tomb. After repeated calculations and deliberation, he decided to cooperate with Mu Qingge and the others. How could he be discouraged into giving up by Ji Yaohua's few words
So, after Ji Yaohua finished speaking, he thought about it and smiled: "After hearing what Master Ji said, I feel like I am useless."
His words made Ji Yaohua's eyes become playful.
"However." Yao Xinghai was silent for a moment and said: "Sometimes, some forces that seem to be indifferent can play an incalculable value at critical moments. For you, with my joining, it seems that there is no It's optional. But if you encounter any danger, what you lack is my meager strength? On the other hand, if I go to another team, then I'm afraid it won't have any impact on you, right? Push me to another camp and make it more difficult for you to compete. It is better to keep me, at least it will save you worries."
Ji Yaohua looked at him dumbfounded, and then at Mu Qingge. He seems to be asking, "Isn't this girl too shameless?" '
Mu Qingge was amused in her heart and said via voice message: "You know how powerful this is." '
Ji Yaohua nodded silently.
However, he immediately calmed down, straightened his back, and said to Yao Xinghai: "If you say so, I won't argue with you. But, if you want to form a team with us, what can you do?"
What can be done
They have no friendship, so naturally they can only talk about interests.
If there were neither, Yao Xinghai would be worried about their intentions with him by his side.
Therefore, after Ji Yaohua asked this question, he thought about it carefully and then said: "I will bear half of the responsibility for the elixir. In addition, during the operation, I will also share the first-hand information I have with you." Share. When I meet other teams, I will naturally fight alongside you.”
"One more thing to add!" Ji Yaohua added.
Yao Xinghai raised his eyebrows, "Please tell me."
Ji Yaohua clenched her hands into fists, stood up on the edge of the table, looked at him with sharp eyes, and said word by word: "That is, no matter what happens, everything must follow Qingge's command! You must not make decisions on your own, Or hide your thoughts privately!"
"Okay! It's a deal!" Yao Xinghai also stood up and answered seriously.
Seeing him agreeing simply and neatly, Ji Yaohua showed a playful expression again, "That's pretty much it!"
"I have a suggestion." Suddenly, Yao Xinghai spoke.
"Tell me about it." Ji Yaohua sat down and looked at him.
Yao Xinghai said, "In order to cultivate a tacit understanding between us, I suggest that before setting off to enter the God's Tomb, we can find a trial place so that we can practice together. The Ancient Battlefield of Gods and Demons is a good choice."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw strange expressions on the faces of the three people except Ji Pianpian.
"No need." This was what Yingze said.
His refusal made Yao Xinghai frown slightly.
At this time, Ji Yaohua also said cynically: "This is really unnecessary."
The two people's reactions made Yao Xinghai very puzzled. Finally, he looked at Mu Qingge.
There was questioning in his eyes.
Mu Qingge raised her eyes to look at him and smiled, "We just came back from the ancient battlefield of gods and demons not long ago."
"..." This answer made Yao Xinghai's mouth twitch.
He sat down depressedly, smiling helplessly in his heart. It seems that in this team, he is the only one who needs to cultivate a tacit understanding and integrate into it.
Mu Qingge stood up at this time and said to several people: "Before entering the tomb of the gods, let's practice separately. Try to improve your cultivation to the greatest extent before entering."
…
As night fell, Yao Xinghai bid farewell to several people and returned to the inner courtyard.
He did not go back to his residence to rest, but came to his master's residence.
"Master." Yao Xinghai knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed as a disciple to the dean of the Alchemy Academy who was sitting cross-legged at the head.
The dean of the Alchemy Academy slowly said, "Well, why are you here so late?"
Yao Xinghai raised his head and placed his hands flat on his kneeling legs, "Disciple went to see Ji Yaohua and Yingze, and agreed with them that we will go together to the tomb of the gods."
"And Mu Qingge, right?" The dean of the Alchemy Academy's sleepy eyes trembled slightly.
"Yes." Yao Xinghai replied.
After a moment of silence, the dean of the Alchemy Academy slowly said: "Well, I want to feel more at ease if you are with them. After entering the tomb of the gods, I told you where you must go, do you still remember?"
"Disciple dare not forget." Yao Xinghai nodded.
"Okay." The dean of the Alchemy Academy responded and sighed: "After thousands of years, the tomb of the gods has finally been opened. Whether you can untie the knot in the heart of our ancestors depends on you. Xinghai, don't let anyone do it. Teacher is disappointed."
"Disciple, please obey your master's orders!" Yao Xinghai kowtowed to the dean of Alchemy Academy.
"How are you preparing for the Alchemy Conference? Are you sure you can refine the holy elixir this time?" the dean of the Alchemy Academy asked again.
Yao Xinghai looked calm and said with a smile: "My disciple has made some progress in his alchemy. He is already seventy percent sure about the holy elixir. The remaining threety percent depends on God's will."
"God's will." The dean of the Alchemy Academy slowly raised his head, looking through the round hole in the dome at the eternal stars. He murmured: "The higher the level of the elixir, the more it goes against heaven. Since it is a journey against heaven, why should you care about God's will? Xinghai, your practice is not enough!"
The master's words silenced Yao Xinghai.
There was no refutation in his mind, but he carefully understood every word and word that Master said.
…
The day of the Alchemy Conference finally arrived.
This grand event shocked all ethnic groups in the five continents. Whether they were invited by the Alchemy Academy or not, they rushed from all over the country.
However, the number of people who can actually enter and watch this alchemy competition is still limited.
Surrounding the venue of the Alchemy Conference, the layers of arc-shaped stands can only accommodate 100,000 people.
And how can the number of people in the entire medieval world be described as one hundred thousand? The number of people in any small city is more than 100,000. Therefore, the only people who can really watch this battle are those families with prominent reputations and high status.
People who are unable to enter can only crowd in the market town in the outer courtyard of the Alchemy Academy and see the situation inside through the Xuanguang Mirror.
On the first day of the Alchemy Conference, there were alchemists who had not yet started to enter the competition. Outside the outer courtyard, there were already crowds of people. Both the streets and restaurants and restaurants were overcrowded.
In the sky of the outer courtyard, a huge Xuanguang mirror had been placed early.
The Xuanguang Mirror hangs high in the air, allowing people here to see the scene in the mirror from any angle. This Xuanguang Mirror is one of the treasures of the Alchemy Academy. It is said that the founder of the Alchemy Academy brought it from the Gods and Demons Continent.
Not only can you see the picture, but you can also hear the sound.
The most important thing is that there is more than one Xuanguang mirror, and there is also a smaller one, which is hung in the inner courtyard of the Alchemy Academy so that the Alchemy Master can watch it simultaneously.
Always, during the Alchemy Conference, the dean of the Alchemy Academy and those highly respected alchemists would watch from the inner courtyard and only show up after the competition was over.
Everything is ready.
The people standing in the outer town all raised their heads and looked at the Xuanguang Mirror. In the mirror, the competition venue was empty, except for the alchemy table that had been placed in advance.
It seems that the people participating in this alchemy conference have not entered the venue yet.
But the 100,000 spectators around there were already filled with big families from all continents. Among these families, ancient families account for the majority, and only a small part are famous families that emerged later.
However, no matter how promising they are, in the eyes of the ancient tribe, these families are still just like nouveau riche.
They all keep their identities to themselves and do not want to have much conversation with people in these families.
In addition to the representatives of the family, there are also the envoys from the temple.
This time, the representative sent by the temple was not Xi Qianxue, but a divine envoy. He took the people from the temple and sat in the center of the stands. On both sides of him were the most powerful ancient tribes in the Five Continents.
Luo people in Nanzhou.
The Ying tribe and the Sang tribe in Xizhou.
Beizhou Ji Clan.
Dongzhou Yao people.
The Xi tribe in Zhongzhou.
The Sang tribe in Xizhou would not be qualified to sit here if Mu Qingge, a saint-level weapon refiner, had not been born. This time, the people coming from the Sang family were King Sang Shun himself and Mu Xuewu. His granddaughter was going to attend the Alchemy Conference, why wouldn't he come in person
If Mu Liancheng's body had not been placed in Sang's house by Mu Qingge and needed to be taken care of, Sang Lanruo would have come with him.
As for the Xi clan, the person who came was not Xi Qianxue, but an elder of the Xi family.
All around are those slightly weaker families.
Han Caicai, representing the Han family, sat near the center, only one step away from the center.
Falling Star City also sent representatives, Mu Feng and Mu Chen. They came here not only to prove Falling Star City's status in the medieval world, but also to cheer for their young master.
"Grandpa, will the boss win the championship today?" The grandeur of the Alchemy Conference made Mu Xuewu feel slightly uneasy.
