By the afternoon, the top five had been decided. Xiao Wei, Miao Jiu, and Shi Mo occupied the top three, and two other disciples of unknown origins occupied the fourth and fifth places respectively. The strength of the five people
Although there is a slight gap, there is no doubt about the strength of being able to stand out from thousands of people in the elimination round.
Next comes the most tense moment, everyone is paying attention to the finals.
In the finals, the elixirs refined were already relatively high-grade elixirs. Each person was required to refine ten middle-grade elixirs and one high-grade elixir within an hour, which was very difficult.
Miao Jiu still successfully completed this task. There was something wrong with the graphite while refining it. The quality of the high-grade elixir was not enough, so he refined the mid-grade elixir. The other two people made mistakes during the refining, resulting in the high-grade elixir.
The refining process of the medicine failed and was completely useless.
In this last round of competition, Xiao Wei spent the longest time, almost pressing against time, and only opened the alchemy furnace at the last moment.
After the elixir was released, it aroused the surprise of several referees, because the high-grade elixir refined by Xiao Wei was very close to the top level. Not only did it complete the task, it was even better than Miao Jiu. In this way, the final winner of the game was
The one without a doubt is Xiao Wei.
Miao Jiu walked down the alchemy platform, looking depressed, like a dead mother, lowering her head and saying nothing.
He came excitedly, but he didn't expect this result.
The sisters next to him, Miao Qing and Tuoba Yan, were not so discouraged and kept comforting him.
Lu Chen said to Miao Jiu: "Don't worry, maybe we can borrow his alchemy furnace."
Lu Chen has already begun to consider how much money he will spend to buy the Flame God Cauldron from Xiao Wei. Since the Flame God Cauldron can be used as a prize, it means that it is not a priceless treasure in the eyes of everyone. It can definitely be bought with crystal stones, or
Trade with other things, but if Lu Chen buys the Flame God Cauldron, it would be a bit weird, because with his status, he should not lack a magic weapon like the Flame God Cauldron.
In order not to attract attention, we still need to carefully consider how to deal with this matter.
Soon, the prizes for the alchemy conference were awarded. The Flame God Cauldron fell into Xiao Wei's hands. The elder who awarded the award even said that the Flame God Cauldron is worth at least 300 million crystals. Such a prize is naturally very generous.
Yes, even for a big family, 300 million crystal stones is an extraordinary amount, which shows that the World Business Alliance is very wealthy.
Of course, if the World Business Alliance holds this series of competitions, they will definitely make money from this in the end. Don't look at how much money was spent on holding the birthday of the leader of the World Business Alliance. In fact, the income is definitely far greater than the expenditure.
Lu Chen naturally didn't care how much money he spent, as long as he could get the Flame God Cauldron.
Shi Mo is also very excited. After all, he won third place and received a reward worth hundreds of millions. At his age, he can win third place. He will definitely have a bright future in the future, and even have an alchemy master from the World Business Alliance.
On the spot he expressed his willingness to take Graphite as his disciple.
Mo Mo ran over to seek Lu Chen's opinion: "Brother Lu, that Elder Ye Wen said he was willing to accept me as his disciple, should I accept him as my teacher?"
Some disciples of the World Business Alliance were very dissatisfied after hearing this. Do you still need to consider such a good thing?
Anyone else would have agreed.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Don't you have nowhere to go now? If you become a disciple of Elder Ye, you will be a disciple of the World Business Alliance from now on. Our Nebula Sect will definitely maintain friendly relations with the World Business Alliance in the future, and we will have many contacts."
convenient."
"That's good."
Shi Mo was very happy. After completing the apprenticeship ceremony, he could almost be regarded as an alchemist of the World Merchant Alliance.
The alchemy conference has officially ended.
Although Lu Chen wanted to buy the Flame God Cauldron in Xiao Wei's hands, he did not go directly to ask the other party's wishes. The matter had to be handled in a low-key manner. He asked Wu Haoyu to send someone to secretly pay attention to Xiao Wei's actions.
Xiao Wei is getting a lot of attention now, and Lu Chen doesn't want to behave abnormally.
There were still five days until the birthday party started, so Lu Chen could only wait patiently.
I walked around the auction house every day and looked at the various competitions held by the World Business Alliance. Time passed quickly. On the fifth day, elders from each sect came to the banquet in person. Those elders were all heavyweights in the sect. This
A banquet is not just a casual fun. It can be imagined that there will definitely be some discussions about dealing with the demon host and the Nine Nether Demon Sect during the banquet.
For Lu Chen, the discussions between the various sects were of little significance. He didn't want to care about it and couldn't care about it for the time being. The top priority right now was how to get the Flame God Cauldron.
Two days after the grand event, the guests from Guangyan County finally dispersed one after another, and Xiao Wei also left Guangyan County surrounded by many entourages.
After leaving the city, Lu Chen and Miao Jiu also followed, preparing to talk to Xiao Wei about the Yanshen Cauldron to see if there was any possibility of a transaction.
No matter what, Lu Chen must find a way to get the Flame God Cauldron, even if he uses tougher methods.
Of course, it is best for both parties to be satisfied, otherwise at least they will be known as bullying others and buying and selling by force. For the troubled Lu Chen, this will only increase the trouble and is not a good thing.
Just when Lu Chen wanted to go over and discuss with Xiao Wei, suddenly a group of people appeared in front and blocked Xiao Wei and others.
There were more than a dozen people in Xiao Wei's group, while the other party only had seven or eight people. However, Xiao Wei couldn't help but change his face when he saw the coming person.
"Forestry, what do you want to do?"
Xiao Wei said.
When Lu Chen saw this group of people, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, because he had seen this group of people before, including Ning Hailong and others who were planning to attack Miao Jiu and the others.
The leader, the young man named Lin, was beaten to a broken bone by Lu Chen, but after so many days, his injuries have fully recovered, and he is still as arrogant as before.
Lin Ye laughed: "You performed well in the alchemy competition and won first place. The Flame God Cauldron is very good. I heard it is worth 300 million crystals. How about giving it to me?"
This Lin Ye is a gangster. Lu Chen has already known this. Xiao Wei obviously also knows this and said angrily: "Get out."
Lin Ye said with a smile: "Don't be so irritable, everyone can make money by being friendly. Besides, we are old neighbors in Sansha City. If we fall out, it will be difficult to see each other in the future."
Xiao Wei said: "Lin Ye, don't bully me too much. You can't defeat me alone, and your family background may not be that strong. If you don't climb into the lap of Jiuyou Demon Sect, what do you think?"
Before Lin Ye could say anything, Ning Hailong said next to him: "Being able to hold someone's thigh is also a skill. Young people, don't underestimate this."
"Ning Hailong, what do you want?"
Xiao Wei looked at Ning Hailong and felt angry.
The Lin family and the Xiao family are both big families that have existed for hundreds of years, and they have always had conflicts with each other. However, the Lin family has climbed to the top of the Jiuyou Demon Sect from nowhere, causing the Xiao family to be restrained everywhere.
Ning Hailong said: "Didn't our Young Master Lin say that as long as we hand over the Flame God Cauldron, nothing will happen."
"You..." Xiao Wei was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he said: "The Flame God Cauldron is a reward given to me by the World Business Alliance, why should I give it to you?
Last time, you said the mine near our Xiao family was yours and we tolerated it, but can you still say that the Flame God Cauldron is yours?"
Lin Ye smiled and said: "It is true that the Flame God Cauldron is not mine, but if you give it to me, doesn't it become ours?"
When Xiao Wei heard this sentence, he almost choked to death. He finally understood that robbery does not require a reason.
This place is hundreds of miles away from Guangyan County, and occasionally there are still people coming and going. Many people are walking back, and they have not noticed the dispute here.
Lu Chen and Miao Jiu stood in the distance. Seeing Lin Ye and Ning Hailong's actions, Miao Jiu said: "These people are really robbers."
"This is our chance."
Lu Chen smiled slightly, his plan already decided.
"What chance?"
Miao Jiu asked.
"We'll find out later."
Lu Chen had no explanation.
After waiting for a while, the two sides were at war with each other.
With Ning Hailong here, the strength of Xiao Wei and others is not enough to compete.
Lu Chen saw that they were about to have a conflict, so he walked up.
Ning Hailong's face changed slightly when he saw Lu Chen and the two people suddenly appeared, and asked: "Lu Chen, what are you doing here?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I will do whatever you want to do?"
Lin Ye said: "We are discussing with Xiao Wei to buy his Flame God Cauldron. Are you here to buy the Flame God Cauldron too?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "That's it. I wonder if this friend is willing to sell the Flame God Cauldron. I heard that the Flame God Cauldron is worth 300 million crystal stones. So, I will buy it for 350 million crystal stones.
"
Xiao Wei was overjoyed when he saw that Lu Chen was willing to pay a high price for the Flame God Cauldron. He originally thought that the Flame God Cauldron that he had finally obtained might not be guaranteed, but if he could exchange it for 350 million crystal stones, it would still be a good deal.
However, although he was willing in his heart, he did not rush to agree. If the problem of Ning Hailong was not solved, even if he had one billion crystals, he might not be able to take it back safely.
"I am willing to sell the Flame God Cauldron, but..." Xiao Wei said, "The two people in front of me want to rob it, but I'm afraid they won't be able to do what you want."
Lu Chen glanced at Ning Hailong: "Are you going to rob openly again in broad daylight?"
Ning Hailong was angry and said, "Lu Chen, what do you mean by repeatedly ruining my good deeds?
You can say that we accidentally offended you last time, but it has nothing to do with you this time, right?"
"Why doesn't it matter?
Since I have seen things like robbery, of course it has something to do with it."
Lu Chen said.
Lin Ye said: "Lu Chen, I know you are strong, but Elder Ding Yun of the Nine Nether Demon Sect will soon come to our Lin family as a guest. He may already be in our family. I suggest you be polite."
Lu Chen looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "It turns out that you have tied Ding Yun's string. No wonder you have such confidence."
Lin Ye said proudly: "Of course, Elder Ding is a super master in the Yuanshen realm, you'd better not offend him."
Lu Chen said: "Is that so?
Maybe you don’t know me well, but the people I like to offend most in my life are the people of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen's figure had disappeared from the spot, and a strong momentum enveloped Lin Ye. When he wanted to avoid it, his reaction was already too slow.
"Old Ning."
Lin Ye shouted out almost instinctively.
It was his habit to ask for help when he couldn't win. Now when he encountered a strong enemy like Lu Chen, he was certainly no match for him, so he habitually asked for help from Ning Hailong.
