As the Golden Pool Conference was about to begin, young monks from all regions of the Great Chu Dynasty rushed to Qingzhou City, causing the inns and restaurants in the city to become extremely popular. Chen Xi and Mu Kui searched for a long time before they found a remote inn.
, booked the only remaining room.
After taking a hot bath, Chen Xi sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a jade slip, and looked up it carefully. This was some information about the Golden Pool Conference, which was given to him as an extra gift when he signed up.
The so-called Golden Pool Tournament is actually a martial arts competition in the ring. There is nothing confusing about the rules. The first round is a one-on-one competition, and then there are challenges without rules.
The location of the competition is on Minghuan Lake in the center of Qingzhou City. This lake covers an area of thousands. At that time, the Chu Soul Guards of the Great Chu Dynasty will build eighteen arenas and an arched venue on the lake for all participants to participate.
who enter.
After the first round of one-on-one competition, the eliminated ones will leave, and the winner can step onto the ring at will and accept anyone's challenge.
Those who win ten consecutive games will be rewarded with 100,000 Infant Ning Dan.
Those who achieve 20 consecutive victories will be rewarded with 200,000 Infant Condensation Pills.
If you stack them one by one until you achieve a hundred consecutive victories, the reward will be doubled, and you can get two million Infant Condensation Pills as a reward!
These reward items are all provided by the major chambers of commerce stationed in Qingzhou City. For any Jindan monk, this is a quite attractive reward.
After all, 100,000 Infant Ning Dan is enough to buy a top-grade earth-level magic weapon. If you can win a hundred consecutive victories and get two million Ning-Ying Pills, wouldn't you be able to buy 20 top-grade earth-level magic weapons?
I'm afraid no monk can resist such a temptation.
Seeing this, Chen Xi finally understood why so many monks came to Qingzhou City to participate in the Golden Pool Conference. These generous rewards alone were irresistible.
In addition, at the Golden Pool Conference, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition and ensure that contestants do not die, there will be two Nirvana monks in each arena paying full attention to the event and ready to save people at any time.
This rule made Chen Xi frown. He originally thought that if he could meet Su Chan in the ring and kill him, it would be a good opportunity, but now it seems that this plan cannot go forward.
Already.
It seemed that he could only choose another opportunity. Chen Xi shook his head and continued to look at the jade slips in his hand. Only when he understood all the rules clearly did he let out a long breath.
At this moment, Mu Kui rushed in excitedly and said with a smile: "Master, these are some materials I bought from the market. They record the information of some masters who participated in the Golden Pool Conference this time. They are freshly released.
Take a quick look." He said and handed the jade slip in his hand to Chen Xi.
"Oh, there is this thing?" Chen Xi was very curious, took the jade slip and browsed it.
"Just now, the registration time for the Golden Pool Conference has ended. This jade slip was obtained from the Chu Soul Guard by some well-informed Erdao dealers. I thought it would be helpful to you, so I bought it back."
Mu Kui finished speaking with a smile. Seeing that Chen Xi was concentrating on the jade slip, he didn't bother him anymore. He found a corner, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a jade slip and browsed it with interest.
This jade slip contained the information of all the monks who participated in the Golden Pool Conference. Chen Xi briefly counted them and found that there were sixty thousand in total. This number was nothing, but the meaning it contained was astonishing. Because this
There are a total of 60,000 Jindan monks under the age of thirty!
What is this concept?
You must know that in the Liuyun Sword Sect, the largest force in southern Xinjiang, there are only hundreds of Jindan disciples, and there are even fewer disciples under the age of thirty, with only a dozen or so!
Comparing the two, you can naturally understand how amazing this number is.
As he watched, Chen Xi noticed some interest. He saw many familiar people among them, such as Young Master Zhou Zhou, An Qianyu of the Split Sky Sword Sect, Wang Daoxu of the Mingxia Sect, etc. These people
They are not ordinary people. Among the younger generation of Jindan monks, they are definitely among the top ranks.
However, people like Lin Moxuan and Su Jiankong from the Huangtian Dao Sect, Xiao Ling'er from the Jiuding Immortal Sect, and others did not participate. It is not known whether they were in seclusion to prepare for the Star Conference, or they did not bother to participate in the Golden Pool Conference.
Su Chan's name was also among them. He was at the Golden Core Perfection Realm. What made Chen Xi frown was that the information clearly showed that Su Chan actually came from the Palace of the Prince of War!
Fighting against the Prince’s Mansion?
Chen Xi vaguely remembered that in addition to the central royal family, the Great Chu Dynasty also had four major palaces, namely Prince Rui's Palace, Prince Zhan's Palace, Prince Ping's Palace, and Prince Qi's Palace. The owners of these four palaces were all brothers and royal relatives of the current Emperor Chu.
Relatives of the country are powerful and respected.
In terms of power, Prince Rui's Palace has become the number one existence among the four palaces, but in terms of the prince's own strength, the Prince of War Huangfu Taiwu ranks first!
It is said that Huangfu Taiwu was a master among the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty, second only to the current Emperor of Chu. His magic power was unfathomable and unfathomable. In addition, he was brave and good at fighting. He had rarely suffered a defeat in his training, so he earned the title of "King of War".
Now, Su Chan's name suddenly appeared in Prince Zhan's Mansion, which immediately made Chen Xi realize one thing. The Li family in Songyan City was instigated by the Su family to persecute my Chen family. Could it be that the Su family was also instigated by others?
Instigated? For example, by Zhan Wangfu?
"Perhaps if we find an opportunity and catch Su Chan and torture him, we can know everything..." Since there were too few clues, Chen Xi thought for a long time and did not dare to be sure of his guess, so he had to hide the matter in his heart and look at it.
It fell on the jade slip again.
Huh.
Not long after, when Chen Xi saw everyone's cultivation, he was immediately speechless.
The middle stage of the golden elixir, the late stage of the golden elixir, the perfect golden elixir... There are 60,000 contestants, except for myself and a few others who are in the early stage of the golden elixir, the others are all in the middle stage of the golden elixir or above!
Weird, how could this happen? Chen Xi thought for a moment and immediately understood that in the eyes of most people, the contestants in the early stage of the Golden Elixir were just a bunch of cannon fodder. In the first round of one-on-one competition, they might all be killed.
Eliminate it, participate or not, it doesn’t mean much.
What also made Chen Xi even more speechless was that in the entire Southern Border Cultivation Circle of the Great Chu Dynasty, there were only a few hundred people participating in the Golden Pond Conference, which was so inconspicuous among the 60,000 contestants.
Among them, Chen Xi did not find any acquaintances, but looking at the names of these people, he remembered the forces behind them, such as a young man named Qi Jun, who came from the Liuyun Sword Sect.
"Where did you buy this jade slip?" After reading the contents on the jade slip, Chen Xi raised his head and asked.
"Well, now there are vendors selling these things in every city in Qingzhou City." Mu Kui quickly took back the jade slip in his hand and said, "Master, don't you have complete information?"
Chen Xi pondered and said: "There are just some names and origins on the jade slip. I want to see who my opponent is in the first round so that I can prepare in advance."
Mu Kui was startled, then slapped his forehead and said in annoyance: "When I first came back, I heard some vendors in the city shouting that the first round of one-on-one lists was about to be released. I couldn't wait any longer, so I came back first.
Yes. Now it seems that the list must have been released."
"Let's go and take a look together." Chen Xi said immediately.
As the registration for the Jinchi Conference ended today, various news and lists were released. In addition, the Jinchi Conference will start tomorrow, so almost all the contestants took advantage of the night and came to various markets in the city, hoping to buy some useful items.
The message will come in handy when the game starts tomorrow.
So tonight, Qingzhou City also looks extremely prosperous, with bright lights hanging high, fire dragons weaving, and pedestrians rushing back and forth. The whole city is bathed in bright lights, bright as day, and extremely beautiful.
"Fellow Taoist, would you like to have a list of the first round of one-on-one battles that has just been released for this Jinchi Conference? I guarantee that you will not miss anything exciting when watching the game!"
"Exclusive reveal! Exclusive reveal! Do you want to know which masters can win the title of 100 consecutive victories in this Golden Pool Tournament? Our store specially hires mysterious seniors to personally perform the operations and provide you with a ranking list of masters' comprehensive strength. Whether you are watching the game,
It’s better to place a bet, with this list in hand, you are guaranteed to have a bumper harvest and surprises one after another!”
"A thousand-year-old store, quality assurance! All information in our store has been approved and certified by Chuhunwei internal staff, please feel free to buy!"
Walking on the streets of Qingzhou City, listening to the noisy and lively cries, Chen Xi became very interested and bought a first-round battle list and several strength rankings.
The list of battles in the first round is fixed, there are no variables, and the price is also very uniform, one hundred Ningying Dan.
But the strength rankings are different. The strength rankings launched by various merchants are almost all different and have many versions. This is also easy to understand. After all, if the strength can be accurately judged, then the holding of the Golden Pool Conference will be meaningless.
Already.
Chen Xi browsed through it in a hurry, but was a little disappointed. In almost all strength rankings, the top ten names would include Young Master Zhou, Wang Daoxu, An Qianyu, etc. There was nothing noteworthy at all.
It was not until later that he suddenly realized that these lists were rather ranked according to reputation. People like Mr. Zhou Zhou were already famous figures in the world. Compared with those who were not famous, they appeared in the list.
The position on the list is naturally higher.
Chen Xi looked at his name and found that on almost all the lists, his name was hovering in the top ten, and he was at the bottom among the 60,000 contestants.
"What a bastard! How can the master be at the bottom in terms of strength?" Mukui was also looking at the list. After discovering this situation, he couldn't help but got furious and destroyed the list casually.
"Brother, why are you so angry? This list cannot be taken seriously. It is just a reference for people who like to gamble. You probably don't know that all the major markets in Qingzhou City are now open, and they plan to take advantage of the Golden Pool Conference.
, I want to make a lot of money." Seeing Mukui destroying the list, a monk nearby couldn't help but explained happily.
"Betting?" Mu Kui said in astonishment.
"Exactly, or where do you think the rewards at the Golden Pool Conference come from? The major chambers of commerce will not give away millions of Ningying Dan in vain. On the contrary, they want to take this opportunity to make some deals.
It is for people to place bets and make a fortune." The monk looked like he knew everything and talked eloquently.
"I see." Mu Kui's heart moved, thoughtfully.
Chen Xi was not interested in this. He walked around the street for a while and then returned to his residence to recharge his energy for tomorrow's competition.
