But I have to say that this shopkeeper is indeed a shrewd person. He thinks so in his heart, but he does not show it on the surface. He warmly greets Su Yao and the other three.
"Hey, fellow magicians, have you completed the task so quickly?" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
Xu Fuyi walked forward with a smug look on his face, placed a storage bag on the task table, and then said in a pretentious manner: "Quickly count how many magic crystals you can give us."
The shopkeeper was visibly stunned, but immediately put on a friendly look and said with a respectful smile, "Please wait a moment. I will count the wolf teeth in this storage bag."
After saying that, he took the storage bag and went into the inner room. Su Yao and the other three waited quietly outside. In fact, they had already counted the number of wolf fangs. There were ninety-eight in total. According to what was agreed before, the fang of a magic wolf could be exchanged for one orange magic crystal. This time they could exchange it for ninety magic crystals.
If Yang Zeming had not had those five thousand purple magic crystals in front of them, they would have thought that ninety-eight orange magic crystals were a large number, but now with the comparison, these orange magic crystals instantly became worthless.
The reason they came to hand over the magic crystal this time was simply because they thought that even a mosquito leg, no matter how small, is still meat.
After all, when they first entered the Demon Clan, they almost had a headache because of the few white magic crystals they had to hand in to complete the mission.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out anxiously, with a more respectful expression on his face.
"My Lords, I will exchange the reward for this mission for you. Please wait a moment."
Su Yao couldn't help but look at Ning Jing, and then they quickly complained to each other: "This shopkeeper is really a powerful one. After seeing our results, he changed his words and called us adults."
Ningjing nodded calmly.
After saying this, the shopkeeper hurried into the inner room again. Su Yao guessed that he was going to install the magic crystal.
Sure enough, after a while, the shopkeeper came out with a storage bag in his hand.
"My lords, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is the reward for hunting down the magic wolves. There are ninety-eight orange magic crystals in total. You can count the number." The shopkeeper said in a servile manner. After all, four people could hunt down so many magic wolves at once. Their strength must be quite good, so it would be right to show them some respect.
Nalan Jingyue took the storage bag from the task table, glanced inside briefly, and said lightly, "No need to count."
Then the four of them turned and left. The shopkeeper quickly said, "Welcome back, gentlemen!"
When Nalan Jingyue and the other three heard this, they walked straight out of the mission bounty point without even looking back. All the magic crystals were given to Nalan Jingyue. After all, if he wanted to open a store, he had to take care of all aspects.
After handing in the task, Su Yao and the other three headed towards the formation conference.
They must have arrived early, and there weren't many people in the competition venue at this time, so the four of them found an inconspicuous place and waited.
And this wait lasted for half an hour, after which these demons came over in small numbers.
Then I waited for another quarter of an hour before I heard someone in the distance calling out to the contestants to take their ID cards and go compete.
Su Yao and Ning Jing walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
Not long after walking, they saw a bearded demon checking the identity cards of the contestants. He let Su Yao and Ning Jing pass only after confirming that there was no problem with their ID cards.
Su Yao took a quick glance at the demons on the competition stage. There were about seventy or eighty of them. She didn't expect that there were so many formation masters in the demon clan.
It seems that the competition this time will be fierce. Su Yao was secretly worried, but her worries were quickly dispelled.
The first round of competition was the most basic competition of the success rate and speed of the formation, and this simplest competition wiped out half of the demons. Su Yao couldn't help but frown, she didn't expect that so many demons came up just to make up the number of heads.
At this time, there were only about forty people left on the competition stage.
The second round of competition is to draw the formation in the shortest possible time. The higher the level of the formation, the better.
This round was too easy for Su Yao and Ning Jing.
So he easily eliminated another ten people. Just as the remaining thirty or so people were patiently waiting for the third round of competition to begin, a loud shout suddenly came from the high platform in front of the competition stage: "The Lord City Lord has arrived."
Su Yao and Ning Jing looked at each other in surprise. Only then did they realize that the city lord would also be present to watch this formation conference.
From afar, they saw the city lord sitting on the main seat on the high platform, and beside him were two young people, a man and a woman. They were Yang Zeming and Shu'er whom they had met before.
Yang Zeming obviously saw them, and then immediately lowered his head to talk to the city lord. Then the city lord also looked in the direction Yang Zeming was looking.
Su Yao and Ning Jing remained calm and pretended not to notice anything.
Fortunately, the city lord didn't seem to react in any other way. He just stood up and said, "You guys can continue the competition. Don't worry about me."
The people below responded respectfully, and then immediately announced that the competition would continue.
The third round of formation competition was a bit more difficult than the previous two rounds. The challenge in this round was to draw as many talismans as possible within one hour, and they had to draw a type of talisman that they specified.
This is not difficult at all for Su Yao and Ning Jing. The purpose of this round is to select the top ten. Others who do not meet the standards will be eliminated.
Except for Su Yao and Ning Jing, everyone else looked very nervous. It was at this time that the city lord seemed to have some interest in Su Yao and Ning Jing.
The final round of competition was even more difficult. The referees each took out a pattern of a formation, but the pattern itself contained errors. It tested the people who drew the formation to see if they could correct it themselves.
If the first three rounds were to screen out rookies, then the purpose of this fourth round is to screen out those who are truly capable.
The formation patterns provided to them by the referee were all different, so people next to each other had no way to refer to them at all.
Su Yao frowned as she looked at the formation in front of her. She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the formation, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Turning to look at Ning Jing's expression, she found that her situation was similar to hers, so Su Yao once again immersed herself in the process of finding loopholes in the formation.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, only the last quarter of an hour was left. Su Yao then found the flaw in the formation. Yes, there was a stroke that overlapped in one place in the formation, but ordinary people could not find it at all.
Now that the problematic location had been found, Su Yao quickly picked up the pen and used her magic power to draw the formation on the paper in front of her. As soon as she finished, she turned to look at Ning Jing and found that she was smiling at her.
Su Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ning Jing was also doing very well.
