It was obvious that Yang Lan'er was still relaxed.
If Ye Tianqi hadn't had such an outburst, he wouldn't have been so tired. Comprehension is very energy-consuming.
The combat effectiveness at that time was doubled, and the feeling of weakness afterwards would also be doubled, which can be regarded as a sequelae of the outbreak.
Of course, what Ye Tianqi did was a spontaneous outburst rather than an enhancement by drugs, so not only would he recover quickly, it would not leave any hidden diseases, but would make his strength more refined.
The Lord of Lezhou City began to distribute prizes with a look of satisfaction on his face, and couldn't help but feel pleased with this capital battle.
"You still have one month of rest time. Then, we will set off together to the capital. The journey will take about two months." The Lord of Lezhou City said to the top ten contestants in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion: "If you have nowhere to go, you can stay in the City Lord's Mansion. You can communicate and learn from each other and make progress together."
Hearing this, Yang Lan'er was shocked. What? It takes two months to get to the capital? That's so far!
"When will the competition start in the capital?" Yang Lan'er asked speechlessly. Why is there such a big difference in time?
The disadvantage of having a large territory is that too much time is spent on the road. There are only 365 days in a year, and this kind of hassle is enough.
"The first day of December." The Lord of Lezhou City looked at Yang Lan'er curiously, because this time is fixed every time, how could Yang Lan'er not know it? "..." Yang Lan'er really didn't know what to say. It was only the end of August, which meant that after arriving in the capital, there was still half a month of rest time, which was long enough.
The most important thing is that the Empire Competition has been moved to a new year. Why do we have to hold the regional competition so early?
"Although the mainland competition is held every five years, each time it lasts for a long time, at least a year, and sometimes even more than a year." The Lord of Lezhou City explained. I thought Yang Lan'er had practiced in some remote mountain area before, otherwise, how could she have such amazing skills? Yang Lan'er was confused. In this world, ordinary people have much longer lifespans, so why do they squander their lives like this?
Seeing that Yang Lan'er had no more questions, the Lord of Lezhou City continued, "According to the rewards, you can go to the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion to choose weapons and skills."
"The first place winner can choose five techniques and ten items."
"The second place winner can choose four techniques and nine items."
“…”
By analogy, the fifth place can only choose one martial arts book, and those below the fifth place have no martial arts books to choose. The sixth place can choose five items, and the tenth place can only choose one item.
This item is not only a weapon, but can also be a material or other rare item.
From this we can see that on the road, secret manuals of martial arts are more important than anything else.
Of course, it seems that the Lord of Lezhou City has spent a lot of money, but in fact, the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion is not his private property, most of it is public property, passed down from generation to generation.
The city lord naturally has certain control, otherwise, how could he be so generous?
Even the prize money for first place was increased from one thousand taels of gold to three thousand taels, so there was no shortage of money.
At this time, the top ten rankings of Lezhou City have been announced. The first is Yang Lan'er, the second is Ye Tianqi, the third is Zheng Qi, the fourth is Bai Bi, the fifth is Li Chun, the sixth is Hong Ran, the seventh is Zhou Jixian, the eighth is Zhu Shasha, the ninth is Wei Jie, and the tenth is Tong Fei.
It is worth mentioning that Wei Jie was severely exhausted in the fight with Li Chun, which led to his ranking in ninth place. Tong Fei was the weakest, and he did not have as much combat experience as Zheng Qi, so he failed to successfully counterattack.
However, Yang Lan'er did notice Hong Ran. This guy definitely concealed his strength. Although he could not beat Ye Tianqi, he was at the peak of his innate state. If he had not met Ye Tianqi too early, I'm afraid the third place would have been anyone else.
Fortunately, Hong Ran doesn't care much about it. He is so heartless and always deserves a beating.
Originally, Yang Lan'er was not so excited about the city lord's treasury, but as soon as she entered, she was immediately shocked, because among a pile of dusty strange objects, she found some treasures that were rare even for cultivators.
"Miss Yang, are you interested in these rare treasures? Because no one knows what they are and they are of no use, they have been kept in the treasury. No one has taken them away for so many years. Are you sure you want to pick them?" The Lord of Lezhou City said with some entanglement.
He hoped that the contestants could choose martial arts and weapons to enhance their strength, but he did not expect Yang Lan'er to be interested in these "junk".
If it weren't for the fact that many methods could not damage these materials, they would have been thrown away long ago.
"Fire Stone? Tsk tsk, it's a top-grade material for refining fire-attributed flying swords and magic weapons!"
"Soul Stone? Yes, this thing has many uses. It seems rare in the world of cultivation. There is actually a piece as big as a fist here."
"Oh, isn't this the Kongming Stone? It's used to refine storage magic weapons..." Yang Lan'er walked around the huge Kongming Stone twice, marveling at it.
Although the quality is neither high nor low, it is just medium quality, but it is as big as a basketball. If the refining level is high, many storage magic weapons can be produced.
Yang Lan'er no longer had any hope for her own weapon-refining skills, but she knew a master. Even if Qin Muyan was not here now, she would always meet him in the future.
What's more, the cultivation resources of a cultivator are accumulated in daily life, so if they are in need, they will not be at a loss. At worst, they can exchange them for what they need, which is also a kind of wealth!
Yang Lan'er happily moved the stones into the tray and continued searching.
There are also good things in the world of ordinary people. Because we don’t know their uses, they can be preserved, which is a good thing for Yang Lan’er.
There seemed to be more than ten things to pick and choose. Yang Lan'er was conflicted and couldn't bear to give up many of them!
"City Lord, can I exchange those five secret books for something?" Finally, Yang Lan'er negotiated with the City Lord of Lezhou.
"Are you sure?" The Lord of Lezhou City looked at the pile of "waste" in confusion. In his eyes, Yang Lan'er's behavior was completely not worth the cost, and she did not consider her own strength at all.
"Sure." Yang Lan'er nodded. Just kidding. Those things from her ancestors were too top-notch. It would be a waste to use them now. After all, she should earn some fortune for herself.
If I really join the monastic community in the future, I won’t die of poverty.
At least, at the beginning Yang Lan'er didn't dare to take out anything too good, for fear of arousing envy. Without the ability to protect herself, it would be purely courting death!
"In that case, then you choose. Although, I prefer you to choose something that will help you." Lezhou City Lord was helpless, and suddenly thought, could it be that the things in his treasure house are of no help to Yang Lan'er's strength? "Haha, thank you." Yang Lan'er didn't think so, and turned around to continue selecting materials.
Glancing at Hong Ran, who was squatting in front of her and watching curiously, Yang Lan'er complained, "Don't you want to go and choose?"
