This morning.
Minghao City, Central Square.
The periphery of the square was already crowded with people, and the core square, which was one step higher than the periphery, was already filled with alchemy furnaces.
At least thousands!
The scene was spectacular.
Facing north and south, a huge platform was built, which was obviously for important people to sit on.
"I'm so excited. Master Ponzi is coming out. He is our family's savior."
"What, you can still get in touch with Master Ponzi?"
"That's not true. I was a big eater when I was little, and my mother wasn't doing well. If she hadn't taken Master Pangzi's elixir..."
"You mean!! Master Ponzi's famous elixir recipe?"
"Well, although it may sound a bit unorthodox, Master Pang Qi's recipe has indeed benefited many children."
"That being said, I always feel that...his original intention should not be as simple as just benefiting the children..."
"What do you mean?"
"My father also spent a lot of money to buy one, but I obviously didn't eat much when I was a child, and it was mostly my wet nurse who took care of me."
There was silence all around.
"Hey, what are you all talking about! What we need to care about now is who has the best chance of winning the Alchemy Conference!
"How are the four young masters?"
"It's hard to say. The talent for alchemy and the talent for cultivation are actually two different things, and the correlation is not that great."
"I heard that the little princess of the Chen family has had a strong mental power since she was a child, which is different from ordinary people. She should be very suitable for alchemy, right?"
"In theory, yes, but whether it works or not, you have to try it to know. Adults all know this."
"Brother, that's too much, woof woof woof..."
boom--
Suddenly, a huge and blazing pressure surged in like a tide, almost suffocating people.
Everyone turned their heads.
Two imposing figures were seen walking towards this side, surrounded by a large number of city guards.
It was the city lord Bai Chen and Master Pang Qi!
Bai Chen is a dignified middle-aged man, while Master Pang Qi is a burly old man with white hair and beard, wearing a luxurious alchemist's robe.
As they approached, the people around them stopped talking, and the originally noisy square became silent.
The crowd consciously made way for a wide path, while the city lord and Master Ponzi climbed onto the platform with their guards.
"Everyone knows what day it is today, so I won't say much."
"Master Ponzi is here in person. This is a great opportunity for all of you young people. I hope you will perform well."
Bai Chen stood on the high platform, looking down, and said majestically: "Young people who are already here, please take your seats."
Wow!
Suddenly, a large group of young people, like a black mass of ants, rushed towards the one thousand alchemy furnaces in the center of the square.
"Get out of my way!"
“Get out of the way!”
"This alchemy furnace is mine!"
Apparently, the number of furnaces was in short supply, so these young men started fighting.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"ah!"
"puff--"
During the few rounds, many people were injured.
"My Lord City Lord, they are fighting privately and violating the rules!" Someone said indignantly after being knocked away.
On the high platform, Bai Cheng said calmly: "Master Pang Qi didn't say that we can't fight. If we can't even grab the alchemy furnace, what's the point of refining pills?"
Is there absolute fairness in the world?
The so-called fairness is also something you have to fight for yourself!
Suddenly, those who were injured were speechless and could only look at the alchemy furnaces unwillingly.
Of course, there are also people who refuse to give up. After failing to compete for an alchemy furnace, they start to grab other alchemy furnaces.
There are some people who actually succeed, but more often than not, they fail again and again, and eventually become too seriously injured to leave the stage in disgrace.
Qin Zi was also in the crowd.
"Bang!"
He punched the thirteenth competitor, a young man at the fourth level of Yuandan Realm, and sent him flying, but he still killed him instantly.
As a result, the young people around who were eyeing this goal all gave up on it.
He successfully took over an alchemy furnace.
"Are you Qin Zi?"
At this time, a slightly arrogant voice sounded.
Qin Zi turned to look at the young man in yellow who had spoken, and replied calmly: "Yes, it's me."
Wow!
Almost instantly, many people around looked over.
Qin Zi!
He is Qin Zi? !
The rumored number one genius in Minghao City? One whose talent surpasses the four young masters of Minghao City?
"Hahaha, it turns out it's really you. I'm Gao Feng. I've long heard that Brother Qin is the number one genius in Minghao City. It turns out that you're indeed extraordinary after seeing you today."
The young man in yellow said with ulterior motives.
"Thank you."
Qin Zi said lightly.
"Um?!"
Gao Feng was stunned. He thought that this person would explain in panic that he was not, and then he would continue to praise him.
But unexpectedly, the other party said thank you!
What's the meaning?
Is this an admission?
Originally, he had intended to flatter the other party, but when the other party admitted it, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
"Haha, great! You are worthy of being the number one genius in Minghao City. I would like to learn from you. Is it convenient for you?"
Gao Feng said with a wry smile.
"inconvenient."
Qin Zi said lightly.
"Hmm?" Gao Feng frowned and his voice turned cold: "Brother Qin, do you look down on me?"
"yes."
Qin Zi nodded, and then a teasing look appeared on his face: "Could it be that... you still think you are a big shot?"
Bang!
It was like a slap in the face, mercilessly slapping the other person's condescending face.
You say I look down on you? Well, I do look down on you! So what!
Who do you think you are?
“You…are so arrogant!!”
Gao Feng was stunned for a moment, then his face became extremely embarrassed and he became completely angry and humiliated.
Generally speaking, when he says that, others will give him face and dare not offend him.
But today... when he unscrupulously stretched out his face, he was slapped in the face.
This made him look more like a clown, with a burning face.
"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that you're bringing shame upon yourself."
Qin Zi said calmly: "Don't think you are superior just because you are from the Gao family."
"The Gao family is one of the three major families in Minghao City. I naturally know that, but you... I really don't know you!"
Bang bang bang!
Those simple words were like a few slaps in the face, hitting the same spot again, and the face was almost swollen.
"you!!"
Gao Feng wanted to explode, but suddenly he thought of something, so he calmed down and sneered:
"You don't really think you are the number one genius in Minghao City, do you? Could it be that you have heard so many rumors that you even believe them yourself?"
"Haha, you don't even know the truth that a tall tree attracts the wind, yet you're still here being complacent. You're so stupid!"
He won't do it easily.
Because in his opinion, using violence when you can't win an argument is the behavior of a weak person, and he disdains to do that.
He would use sharp words to make this sharp-tongued person speechless and angry, and then defeat him forcefully and crush him from all angles!
However, Qin Zi was not angry at all when he heard this, but instead showed a hint of amusement.
"A tall tree attracts the wind... Isn't it true? Even participating in an alchemy conference can attract a gust of wind like you."
"But I suspect that this gust of wind from you... is blown from the eyes of a corpse."
Corpse eyes?
Gao Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted. His anger rushed to his head like a raging fire and exploded directly!
“You’re looking for death!!”
He roared angrily, and a powerful aura surged from his body. He clenched his right fist and charged towards Qin Zi.
What sharp words, what all-round crushing, it's all bullshit. Once people lose their reason, they will slap their own faces!
Pah pah pah!!
