In the imperial city of Dayu Dynasty, in the palace of Princess Fugui.
In the center of the night banquet hall is a huge round spiritual animal down carpet, with pictures of blooming peonies and riches embroidered with various spiritual silks on the carpet.
In addition to the peony carpet, there is a curved red sandalwood table that reaches knee height. Behind the table is a black cushion for single people to sit on.
At this time, the banquet had not yet begun, but various spiritual fruits and a pot of spiritual tea had been placed on the table. None of the guests who had arrived in advance used it. They all gathered together in twos and threes to join in the fun and chat.
This time, Princess Fugui's Mansion chose to hold a banquet for guests on the eve of the Battle of Chulong. Everyone present knew that the real protagonists were the three real geniuses on the Genius List of the Heavens and Worlds and the hostess, Princess Yan Fugui.
Qiao Yiyu, Zhou Bojun and Ye Qian, the three geniuses, are all among the top 500 geniuses in the world. Not to mention the top two, they are all famous geniuses in the world of Lihuo, and everyone has been admiring them for a long time.
, the latter one is said to be from Xingxiu Tiangong, the overlord power of the Immortal and Demonic Continent.
How should I put it, facing Qiao Yiyu and Zhou Bojun from the Lihuo world, and many young talents from the Dayu Dynasty present, they all felt ashamed and dwarfed. After all, the world suppressed by the Dayu Dynasty was just Lihuo.
One of the forty-nine affiliated fifth-level big worlds of the big world. To put it bluntly, the remote land of Horngra naturally awes a lot.
But facing Ye Qian, even if he is a real genius, all the young talents present have a slight sense of superiority. In the world of Immortal Demon Continent, the ranking is not too low in the world, eighteen.
The peak can even be ranked seventh, but facing Lihuo World, which is among the top six attributes, the gap is not as big as usual.
If the Dayu Dynasty is a remote countryside away from the Great World of Fire, then the guys from the Immortal Demon Continent are not even as good as a remote countryside and have no sense of existence.
If it weren't for the rumors that spread this afternoon, many of the young talents from the Daewoo Dynasty present would not even know that Ye Qian existed.
Ye Qian scolded Ji Wuyan for a few words and made Ji Wuyan lie down and leave the General Affairs Hall. The whole city knew about it, and Ye Qian's information and his background appeared on the records of almost all the top powers in the imperial city.
.
Ye Qian, the eighth level peak of the Peeping Dao Realm, a ninth-level alchemy master, temporarily lives in Princess Fugui's Mansion. Last month, he ranked 411 on the Prodigy List of All Heavens and Realms. He comes from Xingxiu Heavenly Palace, the overlord power of the Fairy and Demon Continent.
And he is the chief alchemy master.
The first time Ye Qian appeared in the Dayu Dynasty was in another state. It should be a teleportation array secretly deployed by the forces of the Immortal and Demon Continent. Before coming to the imperial city, he participated in the Nanzhou Dragon War Qualification Budget and successfully became the chief genius seed of Nanzhou.
.
No matter how much information there is, there is no such thing. After all, the Immortal Demon Continent is much lower than the Lihuo World, and it is also very far away. Obtaining enough information cannot be completed in a short time. Whether it is worth it or not is another matter.
With such contempt in their hearts, it is not that the forces of the Dayu Dynasty will look down on Ye Qian. Ye Qian is always ranked among the top 500 geniuses, ranking much higher than the only Princess Yan Fugui of the Dayu Dynasty on the list. Everyone
Being able to see Ye Qian's future, he naturally wanted to win over Ye Qian secretly. The reason why he did it secretly was probably because of Ji Wuyan's influence.
It has to be said that young people have some skills and act without any scruples. This is the first thought of everyone after receiving the news.
Contrary to Ye Qian, Qiao Yiyu and Zhou Bojun, the two great heavenly sects behind them, are enough for the forces of the Dayu Dynasty to give them full respect and style. On the contrary, they will not be too warm. After all, they want to be with them.
Don't bring too many people together, or they won't get their turn at all.
Forces that have nothing to do with Ji Wuyan can naturally sit on the sidelines and watch, but the forces of the Dayu Dynasty who are close to Ji Wuyan on weekdays and receive a fixed share of ninth-grade elixirs from Ji Wuyan feel differently.
The big drama in the General Affairs Hall directly caused Ji Wuyan's reputation to plummet, and he became the laughing stock of the entire Dayu Dynasty. The most ridiculous thing is that Ji Wuyan started this drama himself.
When you reach the status and realm of a ninth-level alchemy master, you will probably be asked by others to make alchemy. Especially in the imperial city, when there are many masters, the greater your reputation, the more alchemy tasks you will have, and the cost of alchemy will also be higher.
It must be higher.
The cost of entrusting Ji Wuyan to refine elixirs before was about 500,000 to 600,000 for a ninth-grade elixir. If the refining difficulty is too high, it can reach millions. But after today, it may even be half or even one-third of the previous price.
It's hard to say.
Naturally, Ji Wuyan suffered the biggest loss, but the top forces who were closely related to Ji Wuyan also suffered considerable losses. The circle of contacts that a ninth-level alchemy master could make was very terrifying. Those top forces, through introductions
Ji Wuyan can also obtain a lot of intermediate benefits and network benefits, but now that Ji Wuyan's value has plummeted, it would be strange for them not to be angry!
The Lu family and the Yuan family were the two aristocratic families in the imperial city that had the deepest interests entangled with Ji Wuyan.
The two families were originally just middle-ranking families in the imperial city, that is, they had one or two strong men at the ninth level of the Peeping Dao Realm who were in charge all year round, and they were able to protect themselves but not develop enough. However, after climbing up to Ji Wuyan hundreds of years ago, they became a top-notch family.
The Lu family now has four strong men at the ninth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, and the Yuan family also has four. This number of strong men is even greater than that of the top power in other states, the generals.
If there are no accidents, until Ji Wuyan dies, the Lu and Yuan families should still have a period of rapid development for more than two hundred years. During this period, if they are lucky, there will be one or two more powerful people at the ninth level of the Tao Realm.
But now, such a great scene was completely ruined by Ye Qian. A top-level alchemy master who held a high position in the Daewoo Dynasty capsized in the gutter. He was bullied by a junior and was unable to fight back. He fainted from anger, even if he came to find him later.
When I returned to the scene, my reputation was greatly damaged.
What's more, will the other ninth-level alchemy masters in the imperial city allow Ji Wuyan to regain his position? It's impossible. They might even try harder to add insult to injury. Just look at Gui Youlun's current situation and you will know that there are many people in this circle.
How tragic!
In the night banquet hall, Yuan Chenglong, the young master of the Yuan family, a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, with some green and black beard vaguely visible on his mouth, was crowded together with Lu Weichen, the young master of the Lu family, who came to the banquet.
He frowned all the time.
"What does Brother Lu's family say?" Yuan Chenglong asked with a slightly mature voice. Lu Weichen was half a year older than him, and both families had deep entanglements with Palace Master Ji Wuyan. They were actually a bit messy on weekdays, but
On major matters, the family has always been on the same page as Master Ji Wuyan, but this time Master Ji Wuyan has lost his position, and the family has not yet come up with an idea.
"A group of old guys, what kind of decisions do you expect them to make in such a short time!" Lu Weichen shook his head and sneered, and said in a low voice to Yuan Chenglong with a slightly sarcastic tone: "The same goes for coming to your house, let me know when you come.
You keep a low profile and don't do anything, am I wrong?"
"That's right!" Yuan Chenglong nodded and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "We and Master Ji Wuyan have shared prosperity and loss. Now it's time to help Master Ji in the nick of time. When Master Ji regains his face, where else can we go?"
What do we want?"
"Is this your own idea or your family's idea?" Lu Weichen looked at Yuan Chenglong with strange eyes and asked.
"My own!" Yuan Chenglong was puzzled and still answered. Although the two families are equal, he has been hanging out with Lu Weichen since he was a child, so he will give priority to Lu Weichen's opinions most of the time. The key is that most of the time, Lu Weichen's thoughts
All are correct.
"The Lu and Yuan families may have relied on Master Ji before, but now, that's not necessarily the case!" Lu Weichen said slowly, with an inexplicable light flashing across his eyes.
The Lu and Yuan families each have four powerful people at the ninth level of the Dao Peeping Realm. Even in the Dayu Dynasty, they are the top existences. Ji Wuyan's role is very important, but it is definitely not indispensable.
"Do you, the Lu family, have other ideas?" Yuan Chenglong was shocked and looked at Lu Weichen in disbelief. This was too outrageous. However, a small verbal dispute made Ji Wuyan lose face. He didn't notice Ji Wuyan at all.
Wu Yan had no tendency to lose ground, but after listening to Lu Weichen's words, he seemed to have a different idea.
"Those old guys are mainly stable, what other ideas can they have!" Lu Weichen shook his head, a little helpless, and motioned to Yuan Chenglong to look around: "Under normal circumstances, would our surroundings be so clean?"
When Yuan Chenglong heard this, he subconsciously looked around. Indeed, in the past, before such a banquet started, there would have been many people around the two of them fawning over them, but now, there was no one left.
"Do you know that Princess Yan Fugui visited Ji Wuyan a few days ago?" Lu Weichen suddenly asked.
"You are saying that after Yan Fugui came back a few days ago, he wanted to recruit a ninth-level alchemy master of the Peeping Dao Realm to be the chief alchemy master of the princess mansion. It seems that not only Ji Wuyan, but also several other ninth-level alchemy masters have been looking for him. What's wrong?" Yuan
Jackie Chan was puzzled.
"I remember that we had several lively scenes at that time, saying that Yan Fugui was wishful thinking and didn't look at his own cultivation. He really thought that the first heir to the Dayu Dynasty was so awesome. It was the Emperor of Chengdu who was really awesome, not her!
"
Lu Weichen said with a slightly mocking tone, this is Yan Fugui's house after all, so be careful.
"That's right, she does think too much!" Yuan Chenglong chuckled, and anyone who heard it would sneer. How noble is the ninth-grade alchemy master? If just a second- or third-generation master can recruit him, he would be the best in the world.
Daji.
It is also said that now that the alchemy master Tianguan has disappeared and the ninth-grade alchemy master is rising, it is even more impossible.
"But have you checked who spread the news? It can't be Yan Fugui himself, right?" A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Weichen's mouth.
The idea was ridiculous, and it was ruthlessly rejected by several alchemy masters. It was even more embarrassing. Yuan Chenglong thought with his buttocks. It couldn't be Princess Yan Fugui who spread the news. It couldn't be done in public. The matter was private. It must be someone including Ji Wuyan.
The news was deliberately released by the ninth-grade alchemy master.
"Are you talking about the news that Ji Wuyan released? What's the benefit for him by doing this?" Although Yuan Chenglong didn't have the brainpower of Lu Weichen, he was not too stupid. He contacted Lu Weichen and took the initiative to bring it up. Naturally, he understood the meaning, but he still couldn't figure it out.
