When he saw the bits and pieces of medicinal residue scattered on the paper gently dragged in Zuo Feng's hand, he was so shocked that he secretly exclaimed, "This is not good."
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly cheered loudly and excitedly. Although the voice was not loud, it was extremely harsh in the ears of City Lord Lin.
He was still thinking about how to continue to embarrass Zuo Feng, at least not allowing Zuo Feng to win the final victory. But after the middle-aged man beside him spoke, he knew that everything had been settled, even with his ability to preside over the competition. Despite his identity, he did not dare to openly judge that the young man named Shen Feng in front of him had failed. That was undoubtedly playing with fire.
Zuo Feng saw City Master Lin's expression and already had an idea in his mind. At the same time, he turned to look at the middle-aged man and bowed slightly to express his gratitude. If he didn't know it yet, this middle-aged man was secretly helping him. Then Zuo Feng doesn't have to come out to hang out.
At this time, the middle-aged man returned to his previous indifferent expression, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
City Lord Lin finally made a decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Since the Lord has confirmed your strength, I hereby declare that Mr. Shen Feng has successfully qualified for the Tushan Town competition."
Hearing what he said, Zuo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. This way he at least understood that his goal this time was achieved. Although there were many twists and turns, he could get such a result. You can feel at ease now.
The middle-aged man next to the City Lord turned his head to look at City Lord Lin with a half-smile. City Lord Lin looked a little uncomfortable. After a while, he tapped his forehead in embarrassment and said: "That's right, that's right. Wow, look at me, this old fool, Mr. Shen Feng won the first place, and he also forgot to give you this token of advancement."
Then City Lord Lin reluctantly reached out and took out a jade piece from his arms. It seemed that the jade piece was very ordinary, but it could be judged from its appearance that it was probably incomplete. Although the upper circle cannot be distinguished due to its incompleteness, it is still possible to distinguish the simple character "δΈ" on it.
Since City Lord Lin was unwilling to hand it over to him, it further demonstrated the importance of this jade piece. Zuo Feng hurriedly reached out and took it. When he saw the middle-aged man again, he found that the other man was smiling and nodding towards him, Zuo Feng. Feng also nodded slightly and took the incomplete jade piece into his arms.
Just after Zuo Feng settled down, a very pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind him, and said lightly: "Sir City Lord, my medicine powder has been refined. Please see it with your own eyes."
Zuo Feng looked back with a smile. From the previous footsteps, he had already judged that the person coming behind him was none other than Duan Yueyao, who had an extraordinary mind. This woman was wearing a goose-yellow gown today and was standing in the sun. It looked even more dazzling, and even City Lord Lin and the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but froze for a moment when they first saw it.
After coming back to his senses, City Master Lin took a few steps forward, carefully took the jade bottle from Duan Yueyao's hand, and after just a cursory glance, he immediately announced that she had qualified for promotion. After saying this, City Master Lin noticed that there was something wrong with her. The young man looked at him thoughtfully, and then he realized that the difference between him being so easy-going towards this woman and yet making things difficult for Zuo Feng was too obvious.
Just at this time, a short figure came over and helped the old guy out of trouble. Of course, the person who came this time was Duan Xia. The guy walked up to Sister Nai, feeling a little dissatisfied. He pouted his little mouth and murmured in a low voice: "If I had known better, I would have picked the easiest medicine powder to refine, otherwise I would definitely be in front of you this time."
After saying that, the young man had already reached the end of the steps and reached out to hand over his jade bottle. City Lord Lin naturally also reached out and took it. But this time he behaved better and shook the jade bottle a few times. , put it to the end of the nose and sniffed it for a few times, then put it under the sun to look at it carefully before nodding and saying: "Little friend Duan Xia's medicine refining skills are indeed good, this medicine powder is qualified."
It seems that City Lord Lin is a little dissatisfied with the medicine powder he refined over and over again. He seems to be saying: "Can there be problems with the medicine powder I refined? This is simply an insult to me."
Then he turned to look at Zuo Feng, and then said with a smile: "Brother Shen Feng, I haven't been able to see you since I woke up early in the morning, which made me worried that you wouldn't come to participate in the competition. Fortunately, you came here in time, but The way you arrived is really too cool."
Then he turned to look at Duan Yueyao who was two steps down, raised his face slightly and said, "I said Brother Shen will definitely be able to win the championship. You didn't believe it at first, just with my brother's skills..."
Zuo Feng was shocked. This young master had no authority at all. If he were asked to continue speaking, he might tell everything about what he saw and heard last night. How dare he continue to speak? He hurriedly opened the door. He said: "It's not as powerful as you said. It just happened that I came across a kind of medicine powder that I am most proficient in this time. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get ahead of your brothers and sisters. Last time on Bald Mountain You sister and brother won the town's competition. This time I won one round, and we could only have a tie at most. And I didn't mean to leave you behind on purpose, it's just that I have some personal matters that I need to deal with urgently."
Ignoring Duan Xia who nodded secretly, Zuo Feng turned his head and glanced sideways. Naturally, his private affairs were the trouble that City Lord Lin had caused for him. At the same time, he also thought that the medicinal materials obtained by their sister and brother could obviously be refined into medicine. A lot of them were scattered, obviously the old man deliberately wanted to show his kindness.
However, although the number of medicinal materials he obtained was the same, the amount of medicinal powder that could be refined was pitifully small, and every medicinal powder that could be refined was high-end, which simply reached a new level of shamelessness.
At this time, City Master Lin seemed to calm down, turning a blind eye to Zuo Feng's hostile gaze. He took two steps forward and said loudly: "Now that the three promotion quotas have appeared, this year's competition is also completely over. I hope that I will not be promoted." Those who are qualified should not be discouraged, continue to specialize in alchemy after returning, and come back to participate in three years."
His voice came out from his throat using spiritual energy. Although it didn't sound very loud, everyone present heard it clearly. Most people stopped what they were doing with an annoyed look on their faces and looked towards At this time, the three Zuo Feng people standing on the steps had eyes full of envy.
However, a few people did not stop and continued to refine the medicine powder in their hands, as if they would not give up until the medicine powder was successfully refined.
City Lord Lin passed by the few people who were still refining medicine in the square. He hesitated to speak but did not say anything else. Then he reached into his arms and took out two jade stones that were almost the same as those he had just given to Zuo Feng.
He handed the film to Duan Xia and said, "These are your siblings' promotion qualifications. As for how to distribute them, it's up to you."
Zuo Feng's sharp eyes had already seen the words "two" and "three" written on the two jade pieces respectively. It seemed that what Lord Lin gave him was indeed a token of promotion.
With a thought in his heart, Zuo Feng said: "Since the competition here has ended, I am ready to leave. I wonder if City Lord Lin will let me go?"
After finishing speaking, Zuo Feng turned back to look at the closed door and the fully armed warrior guarding the door. However, City Lord Lin smiled coldly and said: "This competition is over, so naturally you can leave at any time.
.β
Then, he waved his hand in the void and said loudly: "Open the door and all the participants can leave on their own."
Duan Xia handed a jade piece to Duan Yueyao with a smirk on his face. Zuo Feng saw that this boy actually handed the jade piece with the word "three" written on it to his sister, and he and Duan Yueyao also showed a helpless smile.
During this period of time, it seems that as long as it is related to refining medicine, he will be particularly serious and fussy about it.
However, Duan Yueyao smiled nonchalantly and happily put away the jade piece she was handed. Seeing Zuo Feng walking down the steps, Duan Xia said, "I don't know when Brother Shen will leave. Why don't we set off with my sister tomorrow?"
.β
Zuo Feng sighed in his heart. He naturally wanted to die about Duan Xia's proposal, but thinking that Duan Yueyao might use this to make further demands on him, he could only suppress the urge to agree to Duan Xia and said with a smile: "I still have some
There are personal matters to deal with, but we can get together again in Baitai City soon."
Duan Xia couldn't help but nodded with some disappointment, but Duan Yueyao said two words "take care" with a smile. Although it was just two simple words, Zuo Feng had heard the other party's warning and knew that City Lord Lin would not
He gave up easily, and in the end he just saluted a few people present and strode out of the square.
The Duan siblings immediately returned the greetings. Of course Zuo Feng would not be polite to City Master Lin, but when facing the middle-aged man, he bowed deeply and performed the courtesy of a junior before leaving. The middle-aged man
His eyes flashed, as if he was very impressed by Zuo Feng's humble attitude.
When Zuo Feng strode down the steps, his face gradually became serious. Although he had made up his mind to leave the city immediately after the selection, he also knew that it was not easy to leave safely.
The most terrible thing is that after Niefeng helped him before, Chuanyin told him that he "can't help Zuofeng anymore in a short time" and then fell asleep again, making Zuofeng unable to start Niufeng again.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, but his pace kept accelerating, and he quickly left the city lord's palace. Although the city guards and palace guards were large in number, no one spared Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng guessed that this was probably the case with Zuo Feng.
It was related to the middle-aged man. Although I was very curious about who this middle-aged man was and why he was willing to help me like this, now was not the time to find out.
But thinking about it, since this man helped me so much and his status was not low, if he continued in the competition, he would definitely know his identity one day.
