An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

The rest of the competition was still very exciting in Xu Fu's eyes. Many of the moves and techniques were the first time he had seen them, so he watched them with great interest. But Zhuang Zide on the side was dozing off and on. After watching each competition for a few times, he ran to other martial arts venues, and finally found a shady place to sleep.

In the last scene of the A-word field, Xu Fu saw Qinglu and looked at the whip with lightning flashing. Xu Fu wondered in his heart, how should he hit her if he met her?

The sun was setting in the west, and it was a bit difficult to win the clear dew, but fortunately, I was not injured. This day's competition finally came to an end. Xu Fu also met up with She Yuan and the other three, and got a lot of news about the competition from the three of them.

On the first day of the competition, Chuncai Lingyuan won a record-breaking victory in the history of the academy. The three people participated in the first round, but none of them were eliminated. The three people who participated in the three-talent match were even more lucky. They actually got a bye in the first round. Unexpectedly, Effortlessly entering the top thirty-two. This day can be said to be a proud day for Chuncai Lingyuan.

The happiest people were undoubtedly She Yuan and the others. The three of them were happily discussing with Xu Fu how to celebrate when a voice came from behind Xu Fu.

"It's just bad luck, what's there to be proud of!"

A voice came from behind Xu Fu. Xu Fu turned around and saw that the student looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that he was the one who was defeated by Haitang's move. Xu Fu didn't remember the name of the Spiritual Academy at all. Seeing the disdain on the other person's face, Xu Fu couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" The man was a little annoyed when he saw Xu Fu looking like this.

"What's wrong with you?" She stepped forward and said sternly.

"What's the point of bullying the minority?"

Seeing the large number of people in Chuncai Lingyuan, the man reluctantly said something harsh and walked away dejectedly.

In fact, from the moment the four of them met, many people around them looked at them with disdain, but Xu Fu turned a blind eye to this. This kind of competition is about who can stand at the end. Naturally, the energy can be saved as much as possible. It will be used up early. If you try your best, even if you enter the next round, you will probably be unable to continue, and you will take advantage of your opponent in vain.

Xu Fu glanced at the victors. Several of them had their breaths scattered, and even worse, half of their sleeves were dyed red with blood. They were just holding on through gritted teeth.

"Congratulations everyone!"

A voice suddenly sounded, full of force, and it suddenly covered up all the messy noises in the open space. Several students who were more worn out were even a little unsteady on their feet. They swayed and almost fell to the ground.

Everyone looked up and saw a person standing in the middle of the viewing platform. This person's eyebrows, beard and hair were all light yellow, the sky was full, the earth was round, the eyebrows were slender, and there was a faint smile on his face when he spoke. Xu Fu recognized this man's voice. He was the one who asked Zheng Rong, who had made things difficult for him, to receive the punishment before the competition started. Hearing the students beside him whispering, he realized that the person in front of him was the dean of Qiushi Spiritual Academy - Mucheng. Boat.

After everyone calmed down, Dean Mu briefly said a few words of congratulations and encouragement. These few words were real and very comfortable to listen to.

Everyone returned to their respective residences to heal their wounds and regulate their breathing. Except for a few particularly diligent people who were still hiding in the house and studying, many people came to the foot of the mountain. There was another scene here.

"The black-yellow shield, a top-grade defensive magic weapon, can withstand a full blow from a fourth-level master. It's for sale at a cheap price!"

"Thunderbolts, unparalleled power, large quantity discount!"

"The elixir of rejuvenation will help you win the championship!"

……

Xu Fu looked at the lively scene in front of him, which was no less than the market in Shangyang City. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, wherever there is demand, there is business. As soon as he returned to his residence, he was dragged down the mountain by She Yuan and the others. A small open space was densely covered with hundreds of stalls, and the sound of hawking could be heard all the time.

Xu Fu followed around and saw that an ordinary-looking Qi Rejuvenation Pill was sold for ten times the usual price. Xu Fu lost interest in buying things. Apparently these vendors had their sights set on the Spiritual Academy Competition. Business opportunities, ready to make a lot of money from these students.

"What do you want to buy?" Xu Fu looked at the three brothers with excited faces and asked. Although he doesn't know much about magic weapons, he also knows that they are all activated by spiritual power. For him now, magic weapons are of no use at all.

However, Xu Fu did not return empty-handed. He came across a stall selling candied haws, and Xu Fu bought two. This kind of sweet is made by skewering wild hawthorns on bamboo skewers and coating them with ice syrup. It is sour and delicious, and Xu Fu likes it very much. .

"Of course it's a magic weapon. As an elite member of the Chuncai Spiritual Academy, I'm embarrassed to say hello to other girls without a magic weapon to protect myself." She Yuan whispered. The other two people nodded in agreement.

"Then why bring me here? I can't use it." Xu Fu said with an indifferent expression while eating the candied haws.

"These magic weapons...are not cheap..." She Yuan was a little embarrassed when he said this. Talking about money between classmates is indeed a bit hurtful.

"So that's it! No money!"

Xu Fu flatly refused.

"I borrowed it! I borrowed it! I'll return it to you when I get back to the Spiritual Academy." She Jin quickly added, "Besides, who said you can't use it?"

She Jin took out two balls and stuffed them into Xu Fu's hand, almost squeezing the candied haws out of his hand.

"What is this?" Xu Fu asked with a little disgust, looking at the two gray balls.

"Thunderbolt." She Jin leaned over and said mysteriously: "No need for spiritual power. Throw it out at the critical moment to catch him off guard. Specially selected for you."

"Thank you very much." Xu Fu felt inexplicably warm in his heart. He didn't expect that these three brothers seemed to be indifferent and very thoughtful.

"Boss, let's see if this gilded hammer suits me well."

"Boss, this is good, this jade ring is top quality!"

"Don't listen to them, boss. This Lingbo belt is made of sea silk and is inlaid with sea agate. It is a great help for water-based skills."

……

Listening to the three of them showing off their magical weapons, the eldest brother showed off his magic weapon. The warmth that surged in Xu Fu's chest immediately disappeared, and he still became the "taken advantage of".

"I really have nothing to do with money!"

Xu Fu touched his empty money bag, sighed in his heart, and bit off another candied haws. Even if you don’t have money, you still feel uneasy. Those people who claim that “people will be happy when money is gone” must be a group of spendthrifts who are not short of money!

Playing with their respective magic weapons, the four of them returned home with a full load. Seeing the grins of the three people almost reaching their ears, Xu Fu couldn't help but feel happy. I have to say that although these three brothers behaved in a vulgar way and were even a little shameless, I still felt very relaxed hanging out with them.

The three brothers were so excited that they calmed down in the middle of the night. If Xu Fu hadn't lifted the quilts from the three of them the next day, these three would probably have become the first group of students in history to miss the competition because of sleeping.

The four of them arrived at the martial arts field. There were significantly fewer students present today than yesterday. Some were thin-skinned and were afraid of being laughed at, and some were seriously injured and were even more helpless.

Compared with students who didn’t come, more students came on time. The biennial competition is a rare opportunity. Watching more competitions will not only broaden your horizons, but also get to know more students from other spiritual academies. As the elites of various spiritual academies, more people will naturally not want to miss this opportunity. .

Yesterday, two large pieces of red paper were posted in the open space where everyone gathered. Everyone was watching, and the four of them couldn't squeeze in. Fortunately, the three of She Yuan had practiced "clairvoyance", and Xu Fu had taken Qixin Danhou by himself. , the eyesight has been strengthened a lot, and the words on it can be seen clearly from a distance.

These two pieces of paper, one piece of paper is densely written with names of people, in pairs, they should be the two people who will compete in the next round. At the top of this piece of paper, there are two big characters - leader. On another piece of paper, the names of thirty-two spiritual institutions were written. The next round of Chungcai Spiritual Academy will be against Qingfuling Academy.

"Isn't this Zhuang Zide's spiritual courtyard?" Xu Fu looked around, but did not see Zhuang Zide's figure.

In fact, students who are a little more careful can deduce the opponent in the next round after the first day of competition. If they can know the opponent's characteristics and unique skills, it will naturally be a great help for subsequent competitions, at least they will not be beaten. Caught off guard.

Xu Fu didn't think about this carefully. He knew that if he wanted to prove Wanxiang Gong, a little surprise would be a good thing. Now that he saw this list, Xu Fu knew his next opponent—Huang Yue from Baizhanlingyuan.

In addition to himself, Xu Fu also saw the names of Lin Mao and Qinglu. As for who they wanted to compete with, Xu Fu didn't care.

Today's competition had no cumbersome procedures and started quickly.

Zhao Chong was still the first one to take the field, but his opponent was obviously exhausted yesterday and had not recovered yet today. His face was a little ugly. He just resisted a move and was knocked down by Zhao Chong, and he had no choice but to admit defeat.

It can be seen from the previous few competitions that many people suffered a lot in the first round. Even though they took a night's rest, they still had a deficit, so that this second round of competition was not even as exciting as the first round. Even Xu Fu watched Neither of them felt satisfying.

"Next game, A-5 vs. A-8, students enter!"

Hearing his name, Xu Fu quickly cheered up and walked quickly along the side path towards the martial arts field. When he reached the martial arts field, he did not find his opponent.

But Xu Fu doesn't feel surprised. After all, after yesterday's battle, it's normal for his legs and feet to be slower. He patiently moved his muscles in the martial arts arena while waiting for his opponent.

After waiting for a moment, Xu Fu suddenly found a palm-sized talisman flying out of nowhere in the air. It seemed to be blown by a strong wind and flew straight towards the examiner.

The teacher also noticed the talisman, raised his hand and held it in his hand. After glancing at it, he raised his hand and looked at Xu Fu, who looked curious, and said lightly: "A five-injured person abstains from the contest, and an eight-in-one wins."

A gong sounded, and Xu Fu walked off the stage dumbfounded.

"what?"

The onlookers exclaimed in disbelief. This newcomer from Chuncai Lingyuan actually entered the third round without making a single move. This really made those students who worked hard but were eliminated very dissatisfied.

Xu Fu was also surprised by this result, which also confirmed his previous thoughts. It was extremely important to preserve strength in the Spiritual Academy Competition. Compared with his ease, it was not easy for Qinglu, who was admitted to the hospital at the same time as him, to win. The opponent's cultivation level was similar to hers. If she hadn't unexpectedly used the "Palm Thunder" move at the critical moment, it would have been hard to say whether she would win or lose.

In the second round, Chuncai Lingyuan won again.

It's not surprising that Lin Mao defeated Xu Fu, but I didn't expect that She Yuan and the other three would also win. Xu Fu didn't hear anything from the bragging of the three people, but it didn't matter, as long as they won.

After the competition, Wei Wu and Bai Yu came to visit the four people at their residence. Wei Wu had a smile on his face for the first time, but his tone was still stern. He warned the four people not to be arrogant and to keep up their efforts. Before leaving, he left a jade bottle on the table. superior.

In the jade bottle are four high-grade Qi-Reviving Pills, which are rare items for the students of Chuncai Spiritual Academy, but are very familiar to Xu Fu. This time Wei Wu came, in addition to delivering medicine, he also specifically told Xu Fu that his opponent in the next round would not be easy!

Baizhanlingyuan, Zhao Chong.

In fact, the elites of the major spiritual academies were already well-known before participating in the competition. For example, the Seven Swordswomen of Fenglai Spiritual Academy, including Lin Mao of Chuncai Spiritual Academy, are all students who have attracted much attention from major spiritual academies. Zhao Chong is not famous at all. The Baizhan Spiritual Academy has been ranked at the back of the forty-two spiritual academies in the previous competitions. In the past few years, it has not produced any outstanding talents. It has almost faded out of the sight of the major spiritual academies. Unexpectedly Zhao Chong suddenly appeared, and his cultivation reached the peak of the fifth level, which made everyone's eyes brighten. It has to be said that Bai Zhan Ling Yuan did a very good job of keeping the secret this time and caught the opponent off guard in the first two rounds.

After hearing the introduction about Zhao Chong, Xu Fu's face showed no trace of emotion. This made Wei Wu and Bai Yu take another high look at him. They knew that their opponent was strong and could be so calm. This kind of character was really rare. They naturally did not expect that Xu Fu was a ruthless figure who had practiced boxing with the Dark Demon and fought life and death with the leader of a faction. For most students, I am afraid they will never experience this kind of experience in their lifetime. With more knowledge and experience, they will have more thoughts. Naturally, he became calm.

As for She Yuan and the others, Wei Wu didn't say much. He knew the temperament of these three people very well. The more he took care of them, the more mistakes they made, so he simply let them go.

There was nothing to say all night, but early the next morning Xu Fu heard a burst of noise as soon as he arrived at the open space next to the martial arts arena.

"Come, come, buy and leave."

"Zhao Chong of the Baizhan Spiritual Academy versus Xu Fu of the Spring Cai Spiritual Academy, Zhao Chong will pay one for one, and Chuncai will pay ten for one!"

……

When Xu Fu heard this voice, he knew that apart from Hu Wei, who lost two hundred gold, Xu Fu could not think of anyone else. This man was so addicted to gambling that he blatantly opened a gambling bureau next to the martial arts arena.

"I bet ten silver dollars on Bai Zhan Ling Yuan."

"One gold deposit for Baizhanlingyuan."

"Seventeen gold, Zhao Chong wins!"

……

Hu Wei was squatting on a stone with many people surrounding him. I saw that he had a gray cloth bag tied around his neck, and he stuffed the money he received into the pocket. He then took a large handful of yellow paper and kept writing and drawing there, and then handed it to everyone who deposited the money. One person exited after being escorted, and then the next group of people squeezed in. Xu Fu even saw several teachers.

Although there were many people and noisy voices, Hu Wei's eyes were bright and he was not tired. He collected money and wrote in an orderly manner.

Hu Wei didn't know if he felt Xu Fu's gaze. He suddenly stopped writing and turned his head to look over. When he saw it was Xu Fu, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"Does this junior brother also want to take a gamble? Chuncai Spiritual Academy pays ten for one!" Hu Wei said with a smile. The students who were originally surrounding all looked at Xu Fu. When they saw that it was Xu Fu, they turned around. To put it bluntly, after all, we are all young people. It is still a bit embarrassing to buy someone else's loss in front of others.

"Aren't you afraid that I will win by buying my opponent and then lose on purpose?" Xu Fu was a little strange about Hu Wei's invitation, so he asked with interest.

"There are rules, you can only win if you win!" Hu Wei still had a smile on his face.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring any money!" Xu Fu shrugged and said with a wry smile. The last time he bought the magic weapon for She Yuan and the others, there was only a little bit of loose money left. When Xu Fu came back, he stuffed it under his pillow and never touched it again.

"It doesn't matter, I'll treat you as if you have two hundred gold." Hu Wei said immediately.

"In that case..." Xu Fu chuckled and shouted boldly: "Okay, then I'll bet two hundred gold on myself and win!"
