The first thousand two hundred and fourteen chapters crystal formation
Su Lan was so rich and well-informed, when faced with Chu Zhao's narration, every piece of news was like a heavy punch in her mind.
"This kid has been poisoned by the phosphorus-removing poison. Isn't it hopeless? Then... the competition!"
With her eyes blankly staring at Zuo Feng's face as pale as paper and his clothes speckled with blood, Su Lan said in a dry voice.
But just after he said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked eagerly: "Why did Yao Tuozi get involved, and why do you think Ye Lin also took action? What is going on? These are your
It’s your conjecture, is it your conjecture? Do you have any basis for it?”
Su Lan, who seemed to be waking up from a dream, spoke very quickly, but if you listen to his words clearly, you will find that he is still not completely awake.
The amount of information Chu Zhao said at once was too large, which made it impossible for him to grasp the key points immediately. Seeing Zuo Feng's appearance, the first thing that came to his mind was that the medicine for the competition was approaching.
But after thinking about it for a while, I discovered a more serious problem. Yao Tuozi's unique soul-transforming liquid appeared in Ye Lin. In other words, it is possible that Ye Lin was also involved in the current civil strife in Xuanwu. If so, the problem is no longer between forces.
In the battle, the previous estimates and judgments of people like myself need to be re-planned.
At this moment, another figure flew over quickly. Each of these people's cultivation level was extremely high, not much worse than Su Lan. The people who came first were much higher than Su Lan.
, even more tyrannical than Chu Nan.
The person who came first had white hair flying in the wind. Judging from his appearance, he looked about forty years old. But anyone who knows this person will know that he is definitely the kind of old monster who is more than hundreds of years old.
"Housekeeper"
As Su Lan's voice sounded, she revealed the identity of the person who came. Chu Zhao and Chu Nan both followed Su Lan and clasped their fists in salute. The person who came was none other than Su Ying, the head of the Su family. The fact that he was able to come over so quickly showed that
Zuo Feng's safety is very important in his eyes.
Although Chu Yihu went to report the news, all he knew was that Zuo Feng's situation was not good. As for the other sneak attacks, the conversation between his father and grandpa, and their conclusions, he had no idea at all.
Su Ying waved his hand, and immediately went to check Zuo Feng's injury. The few people coming behind Su Ying were several elders of the Su family. These people all had ugly faces, and they were all the same when they came here so quickly.
He looked towards Zuo Feng.
"How's the boy doing?"
Su Ying ignored the elders who came behind him, and directly asked Chu Zhao about Zuo Feng's situation. He clearly saw Chu Nan here, but he was too lazy to look at him, let alone ask him anything.
.
Chu Zhao saw this in his eyes, but felt very helpless in his heart. Most people in the Su family held the same view as him at the beginning, and also believed that Chu Nan's choice was very unwise.
Facing Su Ying's questioning, Chu Zhao could only tell the story again. Not only did he introduce the sneak attack, but he also briefly introduced the situation of removing the phosphorus poison.
The more Su Ying listened, the heavier his face became. By the end, his face had become as green and long as a bitter melon.
"I heard that the prizes for the drug selection have been increased this time. This is something that has never happened in so many years. I didn't understand why it happened. Now it seems that they have planned it for a long time. These bastards have already planned it.
It was planned to exclude Shen Feng from the competition."
Chu Zhao and Chu Nan looked confused, but Su Ying was not prepared to explain anything. Seeing this, Su Lan hurriedly explained.
"Actually, last night, the empire's top officials announced the latest news. It was said that because this year's selection of medicine involves the Ancient Wilderness Trial, a prize will be added for the final winner."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhao and Chu Nan opened their eyes sensitively and asked at the same time: "What prize?"
"The Crystal of the Imperial Formation."
Chu Zhao and his son shouted "What" almost at the same time, and the expressions on their faces became very unnatural.
"Uh, ah!"
At this time, Zuo Feng's body moved slightly, and then he let out a scream like a roar. His whole body was like countless sharp knives, cutting the flesh of his body piece by piece.
Although the pain was excruciating when the thorn was pulled out, the pain now was not reduced much compared to before. Zuo Feng missed now that he was in a coma before, at least he didn't have to suffer such pain.
He could also somewhat understand why no one could survive being poisoned by the phosphorus removal poison. Compared with such severe pain, I believe many people only have two choices.
The first one is almost like what Chu Nan said about those who couldn't bear the severe pain and pulled out the small thorns growing out of the body by themselves, letting them continue to grow and wither on the body.
However, in this way, the essence of the body will gradually be extracted away, and to a certain extent, it will lose its rationality, and in the end it will also cause severe pain.
People with weak hearts will probably choose the most passive method, and the consequences will be equally miserable.
Another option is to take the initiative to end his life. Just like Zuo Feng at this moment, he has now had the idea of ending his life. He has wandered between life and death several times, and he is not as afraid of life and death as others.
I don't dare to face it. If I really continue to be tortured like this, the result will not change, so it is better to end it and be happy.
While Zuo Feng was hesitating, Su Ying turned to look at the elders behind him and said in a cold and low voice: "Is there anyone in my Su family who is participating in the competition? Is there any hope of competing for the final spot?"
With the title of Yaozi, the crystal of the Imperial Formation must never fall into the hands of others."
Several elders who had just arrived all bowed their heads, and finally the elder who took the lead said: "Within the Su family, no outstanding alchemist was born this year. Although there are four outstanding alchemists from the outside family,
Talent, but only two people entered the competition for medicine.
And among these two people, there is only one person who can compete for the final title, and that person... I'm afraid I don't have much confidence."
Everyone understood clearly what the elder said. What he said was not very certain. Perhaps it could be directly understood as not being sure at all. It was just because the head of the family asked and he couldn't say so directly, so he used such an ambiguous statement.
Su Ying's face was gloomy, but he still asked without giving up: "Do you know the situation with the Yao family and the Kang family? Is there anyone who can get the title? Even if it is obtained by their two families, it will not be a loss to us.
.”
The elder hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The Yao family is better at refining medicine than us, but only one person from their family entered this competition, and there doesn't seem to be anyone from the outside family who is too powerful.
contender.
As for the Kang family, according to what we know..."
After saying this, the elder couldn't help but look dim, and turned to look at Zuo Feng, who was sitting in the corner and panting heavily. Everyone immediately understood that among the three families, the person who had the best chance of winning the title of Yaoshi was actually
But it's Zuo Feng right now.
Now they discovered that the other party seemed to be targeting Zuo Feng, but in fact this time it was targeting the three major families. This move could be said to have no warning, but it hit the vital point with one blow.
"Is the Imperial Formation Crystal the special treasure of the Imperial Capital?"
Chu Nan looked at Chu Zhao. Although he was better than his father in medicine and refining medicine, when it came to formation runes, he was still lagging behind his father. Especially the formation crystal.
He didn't know much.
Su Ying looked at Chu Zhao and Chu Nan with some dissatisfaction, as if he didn't want Chu Nan to inquire about the situation here. In his opinion, although Chu Nan was not an enemy, he definitely should not be considered a member of his side.
At this moment, Su Lan also regained her usual calmness. Seeing the master's demeanor, she understood what the other party was thinking. She hurriedly walked over, leaned into the other party's ear, and explained softly.
What he was talking about was naturally Chu Zhao's words before, about Yao Tuozi's soul-transforming liquid appearing in Ye Lin, and Chu Zhao's latest analysis of the current situation in the imperial capital.
Seeing Su Lan explaining to the head of the family, he turned to his son with relief and said: "The Royal Formation Crystal is not a thing of the Xuanwu Empire, but it is closely related to the huge formations of the Imperial Mountain and the entire Imperial Capital.
Relationship. Although this Imperial Formation Crystal does not depict a huge formation, it contains many Imperial Formations and the central formation diagram of the Control Formation. It is the most precious core of high-level formations.
As long as you have the Crystal of the Imperial Formation, even if a formation is not arranged by you, you can still find the core of the formation through the Crystal of the Imperial Array. You can even use this object to occupy the magpie's nest and control the formation to yourself.
in the hands."
After hearing their father's explanation, Chu Nan and Zuo Feng, both colleagues, were stunned. How could such an important rare object be given out as a prize? Isn't this child's play with the treasures of the Xuanwu Empire?
Chu Zhao slowly sighed and said: "The Xuanwu Empire was beaten to pieces, so the supreme being gave this thing to help the Xuanwu Empire establish the empire's capital-protecting formation. Later, he passed this thing
, a large protective formation was established in Linshan County.
This thing is very useful, so the empire has always kept it under strict control and will not take it out unless it is at an important moment. But since this thing was given to the Xuanwu Empire, it is naturally controlled by the king and several aristocratic families.
But he didn't expect that the country's leader Xuan Hong would dare to play such a trick.
The imperial edict was issued at this time, and it was impossible to change it overnight in the face of everyone in the world. At this time, it can be regarded as such a muddle-headed decision skipping some families.
In this way, as long as someone can obtain the Imperial Formation Crystal, then this object will not be a property of the empire, but will become a private property of one person. This calculation is not unreasonable."
Chu Nan's heart sank when he heard that. He didn't expect things to change so quickly. The opponent's interlocking actions, increasing the prizes for selected medicines, and dealing with Shen Feng made it a foregone conclusion before he could react.
