"If the first place reward is something I'm interested in, I'd be interested in trying it." Yang Mu stood up.
Zhuge Wanyu heard the meaning of his words and said in surprise:
"Master, you are from the outside world. You don't have any banknotes from Kowloon Market with you. How can you act like you are not short of money at all? Even ten thousand taels of banknotes can't interest you? Do you know
I know that many people here in Kowloon Market will never earn ten thousand taels in their lifetime!"
Yang Mu said matter-of-factly: "Didn't your uncle give you a lot of banknotes before leaving? You are my maid, and your banknotes are naturally mine. In this case, of course I am not short of money."
"..."
Zhuge Wanyu was dumbfounded, could it still be like this?
"Let's go and take a look." Yang Mu followed Yuan Qiu in the direction he left.
Zhuge Wanyu looked at his back and rolled her eyes, thinking that she clearly had no real ability and could not really compete with others in elixir refining, but she made it sound very reasonable. The master really wanted to save face.
It's a pity that I can't seem to tell him!
"Don't walk too fast, wait for me!"
Seeing that Yang Mu was almost disappearing from sight, Zhuge Wanyu quickly followed.
There were obviously a lot of people watching this alchemy competition. After leaving the restaurant, I found that people were all walking in the same direction. Yang Mu and Zhuge Wanyu merged into the crowd.
Not long after, we arrived in front of a shop called Tianding Pavilion in the east of the city.
This Tianding Pavilion is not only one level higher than other surrounding shops, but the area occupied by the store alone is several times that of other surrounding shops.
In front of Tianding Pavilion, there is a simple arena that has just been built. Obviously, the alchemy competition will be held on this arena.
"The one holding this alchemy competition is actually Tianding Pavilion?" Zhuge Wanyu looked surprised.
Yang Mu looked at her, "Is there a relationship between Tianding Pavilion and Tianding Sect?"
Zhuge Wanyu said: "Of course! The elixirs circulating here in Jiulong Market basically come from the Tianding Sect. Selling elixirs is the main profit channel of the Tianding Sect! And the Tianding Pavilion is where they operate.
Stores opened in various places.”
After saying that, she thought of something and continued: "The fat man's wishful thinking probably came to nothing. I will not participate in the alchemy competition held by Tianding Pavilion. After all, where can I make my own money?"
As soon as the voice fell, three figures were seen walking onto the ring.
Little fat man Yuan Qiu was among them!
When Yang Mu saw this, he almost laughed out loud: "This guy is so thick-skinned that he even wants to steal a fortune from his own people?"
The three people on the stage introduced themselves.
The first two have nothing to do with the Tianding Sect, but are related to the other two major forces.
But this is not surprising. After all, there are very few alchemists in Jiulong Ruins. If the people from Tianding Sect are excluded, they will be even rarer.
And these few alchemists were basically cultivated by six other forces.
When it was Yuan Qiu's turn to introduce himself, he coughed dryly and said, "I, Qiu Yuan, have some relationship with the Zhuge family of the Destiny Alliance. I was passing by here and heard that an alchemy competition was held here, so I came to give it a try!"
He looked at the old man in Tianding Pavilion beside him: "The first place must have 10,000 taels of silver notes, right?"
After receiving a positive reply, Yuan Qiu smiled and said: "That's good!"
That expression made it seem as if the ten thousand taels of silver were already in his pocket.
Yang Mu and Zhuge Wanyu both looked at Yuan Qiu on the stage with strange eyes.
This guy's face is as thick as a city wall. Not only did he want to make money from his own people, but he also directly made up a new identity.
"This guy actually said he was from our Zhuge family. Bah! Our Zhuge family doesn't have such a shameless guy."
Zhuge Wanyu spat, but did not stand up to cause trouble. She was still waiting for the other party to repay her meal money ten times.
Yuan Qiu probably expected this, so he deliberately said that he had a relationship with the Zhuge family. If the other party suspected it, he asked Zhuge Wanyu to come out and confirm it.
The old man from Tianding Pavilion did not inquire about his identity. Seeing that no one continued to come on stage, he asked: "Is there anyone else who wants to come on stage and try it?"
Everyone in the audience looked at me and I looked at you, but no one came on stage.
Yang Mu was surprised and said: "There are only three contestants in the alchemy competition? If Yuan Qiu doesn't come, there will only be two?"
Zhuge Wanyu said: "It's not surprising at all. There are very few alchemists in Jiulong Ruins, and most of them are from the Tianding Sect.
In the competition held by Tianding Pavilion, disciples of Tianding Sect will not participate, so there are two people, which is already a lot. Even if there is not a single contestant, that is normal!"
Yang Mu said: "If only one person comes, wouldn't he become the first one and take away 10,000 taels of silver notes?"
"How could such a good thing happen?"
Zhuge Wanyu shook her head, "You can get ten thousand taels if you are the first place, but you must at least meet their requirements. For example, if the other party specifies refining a certain elixir, if there is only one person participating, there is no need to compare.
How about the quality of the refined elixir, but at least the elixir must be successfully refined."
While Yang Mu and Zhuge Wanyu were talking, the competition on the ring had already begun.
After confirming that there were no new contestants, the old man from Tianding Pavilion took out a pill recipe and asked the three contestants to refine a pill called "Huanling Pill" according to the pill recipe.
In addition to the elixir recipe, the elixir furnace and medicinal materials for refining the elixir are also provided by Tianding Pavilion. All the three participating people need to do is to successfully refine the "Huanling elixir".
If more than one person has succeeded in refining the elixir, then the quality of the elixir will be compared to determine the ranking!
Not to mention other people, even Zhuge Wanyu looked at the three people making alchemy on the ring with curiosity.
For her, the eldest lady of the Zhuge family, witnessing the process of alchemy with her own eyes was also a very strange thing.
Yang Mu's eyes were fixed on the stage.
However, what he paid attention to was not the alchemy methods of the three people on the stage, but the alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace provided by Tianding Pavilion is about 1.5 meters high. It not only includes the alchemy cauldron for placing medicinal materials, but also includes an ignition device, a fire control device, a filtering device for removing medicinal residues, etc. It looks quite exquisite, making it
Yang Mu was very interested.
"The alchemy equipment here is pretty good."
Yang Mu muttered to himself, but thinking about it carefully, it was not that the alchemy equipment here in Jiulong Ruins was so amazing, but that the alchemy equipment in the outside world was too crude.
The alchemists here in Kowloon Market would never imagine that they had used gas stoves and stoves to make alchemies...
It's not that the outside world cannot produce such devices, but that there is no such profession as an alchemist in the outside world. It can be said that there is no such demand at all.
Bang——!!
When Yang Mu curiously studied the structure of the alchemy furnace and almost figured out how to control it, a loud noise came from the stage.
One of the alchemy furnaces actually exploded!
Another moment passed.
Bang!
Another alchemy furnace also exploded.
The two alchemists who exploded the furnace were dejected. Even the alchemy furnace exploded. No matter how amateur they were, they understood that they had failed in refining the alchemy.
In an instant, only Yuan Qiu was left on the stage still refining elixirs.
When he saw the other two people blasting the furnace, everyone's eyes were on him, and he suddenly showed a bit of excitement. He felt that this competition was really not challenging at all.
The next second.
Bang!
The alchemy furnace in front of Yuan Qiu also made an explosion sound...
