The center of the Lost Forest is actually a huge castle, but it has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years and is now the destination of explorers.

At the end of the castle, two peaks stand in the sky, with a hundred feet wide sky gate in the middle, sealed by a large formation.

In recent days, the seal runes on the formation have been cracking and seemingly collapsed soon.

In fact, there are eight large formations like this, and Zuo Chengfeng is only one of them, and the other seven large formations are about to be opened.

The ruins opened about seven days later. He had been delaying his days on the road, but he didn't expect that he would arrive so many days in advance.

However, the castle was already crowded with people, and it seemed very lively. Almost all the ancient buildings that could be occupied were occupied.

From the surface, you can't tell that this is an abandoned ancient city.

The early forces have chosen the most favorable location, closest to the mountain pass, and once the ruins are opened, they can rush in as soon as possible.

Later forces could only find a place to stay a little further away. Many forces would fight to compete for a favorable position. After a day, they fought seven or eight times, fought fifty or sixty, and threw down thousands of corpses.

Even if some forces come early, if their fists are not strong enough, they must give up their place if they occupy a good place, otherwise there will be a large force to come to the door.

Either they can kill them and run away with their heads in their arms, then give up the place, or directly destroy the family, or give up the place.

Only after several major forces divide the best positions will the situation stop, and those small forces will not be able to cause any storm.

Some of them defect to major forces early in order to protect themselves.

The power structure map of Xingyuan Continent is a microcosm here.

Dongling Mountain, Skeleton Sect, Dalei Tian, ​​Shuangshu Garden, Dragon Tulong Villa, Tongxuan Sect, Demon Shadow Sect, and Zhaixing Tower all occupy the best positions.

Organizations of colleges such as Lanxing Academy and Fengyun Academy are mainly students, and with several elders in charge, they do not attach much importance to these things, and they all choose ordinary positions to settle on them.

As for the second and third-rate forces like the Batian Academy and the Divine Fire Mercenary Group, there were no more than ten people in total. There was a place where they were hiding and they were not completely destroyed by anyone. Thank God.

It calmed down on the surface, but the undercurrents surging, especially among the major forces, they were all like cockfighting, staring at each other.

They are unwilling to fight internally now, and they are all waiting to enter the ruins and have a grand final.

It is no exaggeration to say that this battle for ruins is the cruelest ever.

There are hundreds of secret relics that often appear on the mainland, but none of them are as fierce as this time.

After all, it is a world-destruction ruin known as miracles and has never been opened. Whoever can retrieve a few decent treasures from it may make his own forces lead the charm for hundreds of years.

Even some third-rate forces want to make trouble. If they accidentally fall out of the pit, they will be able to turn the salted fish over.

There were hundreds of people in Lanxing Academy, less than 10% of the total number. Other students returned without success and had not even passed through the lost forest. A small number of them were unlucky and completely evaporated from the world.

Fortunately, Zuo Chengfeng's friends arrived safely, which made him feel relieved.

But Zuo Chengfeng did not meet with them because many forces were staring at him. He didn't want to be exposed before entering the ruins.

According to some big names, less than five percent of the geniuses who actually arrived here are.

Even so, there are hundreds of thousands of people.

These are all geniuses among geniuses. Such a group of people will surely kill the sky and the earth, and the ghosts will cry and howl.

Who knows how many of these hundreds of thousands of people will be sprinkled with blood and ruins of the world.

In public, the elders of every major force will pretend to warn future generations to be kind, tolerant, and tolerate, and to avoid killing and impetuous. That is all for others to see.

In secret, none of them did not want their disciples to kill other forces.

Only Mr. Long is in charge of Lanxing Academy, but no force dares to go there to Zhiba. Looking at the whole continent, there are not many people who dare to be arrogant in front of her.

Zuo Chengfeng turned around and saw the entrance of a huge stone fort full of people, so he went to watch the fun.

There was a notice posted at the gate of the stone castle, indicating that it was going to recruit alchemists at all levels. It turned out that this was the place of the Alchemist Guild. They started a business here, refining, selling all kinds of healing and replenishing elixirs, and sold very well.

No one who wants to enter the ruins thinks that he has too many pills.

Everyone knows that once you step into that door, you will step into the hell of death and face the battle between blood and fire. If you carry enough pills on your body, it will be like giving yourself a few more lives.

So when they knew that the Alchemist Guild was publicly listed, they were all willing to buy as many pills as possible. There were auxiliary upgrades, and some were healing and saving lives. Anyway, the more they were the better.

There are too many orders and not enough staff, so the Alchemist Guild came up with this method and publicly recruited Alchemists.

Zuo Chengfeng thought about it. If he could get into the Alchemist Guild, those people would not be able to find this place. He could also take this opportunity to hone his pharmacy, which would definitely benefit a lot.

So he squeezed through the crowd and walked in swagger.

There were people coming and going in the yard, which was very lively. Some people directly set up furnace cauldrons under big trees to start refining medicine. The result was a burst of medicine fragrance, like a cave of gods.

There was a broken jade table under the pillar in front of the hall, and several people were gathering around to sign up. The girl Jiang Xiaoxiao sat behind her, tested their alchemist badges, and registered, and someone led them to work.

Zuo Chengfeng walked over, Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at him, ignored him, and shouted that others would go to do things.

Zuo Chengfeng knocked on the table: "I'm here to sign up."

"Go and go, play."

The girl waved her hand impatiently, wanting to drive him away.

The pharmacists who had just signed up couldn't help but laugh before they left. They all said that the child was only a little older, and probably wanted to be a pharmacist and were crazy, but this is not a place to join in the fun.

Zuo Chengfeng frowned and thought to himself that this girl was about to argue with him. An old man with extraordinary demeanor came over and handed a list to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"This is the order of the Thousand Demon Empire. You can go down as soon as possible. This is from the Demon Shadow Sect. Try to drag them back."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded and said again, "Grandpa, if you let them do this, don't do it."

Jiang Taimiao smiled: "It's also idle, it's all about exercising your muscles."

He turned his face and saw Zuo Chengfeng, and said strangely: "What is he doing?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao said angrily: "He said he was coming to register. How old is he not looking for a place to play?"

Zuo Chengfeng looked stern: "I'm here to register. Doesn't the notice you posted count? If it doesn't count, I'll tear it for you."

He said and walked out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao slapped the table and stood up, shouting, "Whose child is this? Throw him out."

"etc!"

Jiang Taimiao waved his hand, stopped her, and said to Zuo Chengfeng: "Little brother, please stay."

Zuo Chengfeng stopped, turned around slowly, and stood upright, neither humble nor arrogant.

Jiang Taimiao looked at him all the time and smiled: "Even Yuanli has not awakened, and he wants to become an alchemist? Do you have an alchemist badge?"

He really didn't have this, so he had to shake his head honestly.

Jiang Taimiao called a middle-aged man who was walking back and forth and directing the young alchemist to come over and said, "Huji, take him to the test. If he passes, give him a badge."

"Grandpa, aren't you wasting your time? A big kid who hasn't even awakened Yuanli. If he knows how to refine medicine, can I become a medicine fairy?"

Jiang Taimiao waved his hand and didn't let her continue to say anything. He explained something else to Hu Ji and left.

Hu Ji was also confused, but what his master told him that he could not disobey. He reluctantly waved his hand to Zuo Chengfeng and took him to the side room.

When passing by Jiang Xiaoxiao, Zuo Chengfeng whispered: "You are the big kid."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was so angry that he grabbed the paperweight on the table and smashed it over.

After the smash was made, she regretted it again. Why should she be serious with such a big child? Now she will be injured. Grandpa must scold her to death.

What surprised her was that when the paperweight, the size of a cigarette box, was less than a foot away from Zuo Chengfeng's head, it was decomposed and annihilated out of thin air, turning into the purest element and disappearing into the air.

She thought it was her dazzled, and rubbed her eyes, but she didn't understand what was going on. Fortunately, Zuo Chengfeng was fine, so she ignored it.

The pharmacists just now didn't leave, and they were all curious and wanted to see the result, so they followed them to the door of the room and looked inside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was just angry, so he shouted at them, telling them not to be lazy.

Several people smiled but did not leave.

Lingfeng and Lingjing were chatting in the wing room with two girls eating melon seeds. Hu Ji coughed, and they hurriedly stood up, saluted respectfully, and called him Master.

There are four bronze alchemy furnaces in the wing room, ranging from the entry level to the Grandmaster level.

Zuo Chengfeng naturally didn't understand these things, but he just felt that the styles of these furnaces were very old-fashioned and seemed a bit too high to reach them.

Hu Ji nodded and pointed to the first alchemy furnace and said, "You can use this one to refine the simplest Qi Refining Pill. It takes two quarters of an hour to have a chance to fail."

He said to the two girls again: "Make a record for him."

After Huji finished speaking, he turned around and went out.

When he left, the two girls began to joke with Zuo Chengfeng.

Lingfeng brought two portions of medicinal herbs in a basket, held them in front of him but refused to give them to him. He asked him with a smile: "Oh, why haven't I seen you before? Are you a boy or a girl?"

Zuo Chengfeng glared at her and ignored her.

Lingfeng said again: "Call me, ask me to give it to you."

Lingjing snatched the basket and smiled and said, "Call me, please call me, auntie, and I will give it to you."

Lingfeng hit her in the hand: "You call her little sister."

Lingjing: "Don't listen to her, call her aunt. Oh, the alchemy furnace is so high, you can't reach it. Why don't I hold you? If you call her aunt, I will hold you."

Zuo Chengfeng frowned. Although he knew that the other party had no malice, it would not be a problem to continue like this, so he thought of a quick solution to the problem.
To be continued...
