Jiang Jingfeng was secretly alert in his heart, and he must not be careless.
He did not forget that Gu Yao and Chi Changye were also in trouble. There were still cultivators outside who were tracking down the whereabouts of the two cultivators who appeared beside the Blood Slaughter Demon Monk. Moreover, the recent movements in Lingzhou were also suspicious. Not only the group of Master and Apprentice Shen Xing, but also the figures of Lingzhou alchemists appeared in other states.
One or two people would be fine, but there are more than five or six places that have appeared in these years. If you trace it back carefully, you can find that it started after the Blood Slaughter Demon Monk appeared in Dongzhou. Jiang Jingfeng didn't know what the source of this was, but it was very likely that this was the reason why Gu Yao and Chi Changye were not recruited by Lingzhou Linglian Tower.
I don't know if his speculation is accurate, and how many forces in Lingzhou are investigating. Thinking of these possibilities, Jiang Jingfeng felt that he was sweating. It would be fine if he offended Master Shen Xing, but if he offended several forces in Lingzhou, he would be in big trouble.
At this time, the general manager of the General Pavilion came out and said, "Although this is not the final decision, it will also eliminate a group of candidates, so it is a serious matter. I hope all candidates will not take it lightly."
"So far, the General Pavilion has seen the achievements of all candidates. Please look at the ranking on the jade disk. It is the score given by the General Pavilion based on the performance of each candidate over the years. "
The chief steward cast a spell, and a flash of light appeared on the high-hanging jade disk, and then names and scores appeared one by one.
The first place was undoubtedly Wu Yuan, and the young master Chen was ranked second, but this second place was no longer meaningful, because he had already joined Wu Yuan's camp, and the score he got could be directly tied for Wu Yuan.
As for Jiang Jingfeng, he was ranked sixth. Seeing this ranking, the cultivators on the field were talking about it. You know, when Wu Yuan didn't get the foreign aid of Master Shen and his apprentice, Jiang Jingfeng Jiang Jingfeng was ahead in everything, and he was undoubtedly ranked first at that time.
He also had a solid foundation, and with Gu Yao, the alchemist, he regained some popularity for him. Jiang Jingfeng also opened up new business channels, so he did not fall to the last place in the eyes of his enemies. But now his score is only one-third of Wu Yuan's, which is very miserable.
The general manager looked at the different reactions of the people and said, "This is only the first round, not the final score. Now we will carry out the second round of assessment and evaluation. After the score is taken into account, only the top five will be selected, and the rest will be eliminated. Dingxuan Pavilion is open to customers for business, so the assessment has always been a literary test, divided into four major categories: alchemist, weapon master, talisman master and formation master. The general cabinet scores each candidate based on the strength of the talents recruited or cultivated. "
Now let's proceed to the first item, the assessment of the formation master."
"Second Master, I leave it to you." Jiang Jingfeng said to a middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk nodded: "Second Master will do his best, don't worry, Jingfeng." "
The formation master is a member of the Jiang family, so Jiang Jingfengsi doesn't have to worry about others using various means to suppress him. Sometimes blood relationship is indeed a stronger relationship.
Jiang Huai is a third-grade formation master and a well-known formation master in Fengming City. Good alchemists are rare, and good formation masters are not easy to recruit. Gu Yao glanced at the formation masters below. The cultivation of the formation masters who came up was not weak, and most of them were in the fusion stage. He had a feeling that when did the fusion cultivators become so worthless? They were everywhere, which made him feel very pressured.
It is impossible to judge the level of formation skills by just looking at the cultivation level, but Gu Yao looked at Jiang Huai. Jiang Huai and Jiang Jingfeng were very calm about this round,
and so were the others. Jiang Huai's formation skills must be good.
The main pavilion also sent a second-grade formation master to judge. After making formation plates and using them for offensive and defensive battles, the results came out half a day later. The formation masters from Jiang Huai and Wu Yuan were deadlocked. The second-grade formation master announced that they were tied for first place and gave them the same score.
During this period, Jiang Jingfeng introduced: "The reason why the formation master from Wu Yuan defected was because of Master Shen Xing. I heard that Shen Xing specially refined a furnace of elixirs for him, and this formation master became more loyal to Wu Yuan."
Gu Yao nodded: "Are you sure about the other two items? "
Jiang Jingfeng smiled and said, "Although I am not as confident as the Second Master, I will not lose too badly."
The Talisman Master and the Weapon Master were recruited. After the Alchemist Wei left, they also wavered. Fortunately, Gu Yao showed up in time. Jiang Jingfeng revealed some information to them and asked them to swear to keep the secret, so the two stayed. Another reason was that Wu Yuan did not value them as much as the Alchemist, otherwise he would have taken action long ago.
At this time, the ranking on the jade disk changed. Jiang Jingfeng, who was ranked sixth, was immediately on the stage because of this round. He was promoted to the fifth place.
Others were not surprised to see the ranking change, because they knew that the final round of the alchemist competition was the most critical and would also have the highest score, because the alchemist was the most important. This was evident from the fact that Wu Yuan made up for all the other shortcomings because of Shen Xing.
Young Master Chen smiled sinisterly: "The Jiang guy is still struggling desperately, and he will have a hard time in the final round."
Wu Yuan sneered: "Who made him and Yao not know what's right for them? They will have a hard time later."
After the formation master was the talisman master, and there was another round of competition on the stage. Gu Yao and the others could see Wu Yuan's malicious and sinister look and said: "What are they planning?" "
Jiang Jingfeng whispered: "I have received news that Wu Yuan has lent out all the third-grade alchemists in his hands. He doesn't want to give me any chance at all."
Gu Yao said in surprise: "So, I have to compete with Master Wei and Master Cui later?"
"Yes, I believe in Master Yao."
Gu Yao shrugged. What kind of fate did he have with Huang Ruyue, the master and disciple? He was with Huang Ruyue decades ago, and decades later he was fighting with Huang Ruyue's master. Fortunately, Cui Xin and the others were not sure of his identity, otherwise they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Both refining weapons and making talismans take a lot of time, so after these two rounds of competition, it was already the second day. Gu Yao's talent in these three items was not high. , and he didn't have the energy to study. He felt that there were many things he hadn't studied thoroughly in terms of alchemy alone, and he didn't have the energy to delve into other things. So Chi Changye was somewhat interested in the comparison of talismans. Among them, there was a talisman master who was good at making thunder talismans, and another talisman master made the Sky-Splitting Talisman that they had used before.
If they were not in different camps, Chi Changye would definitely consider asking the other party for advice, especially the Sky-Splitting Talisman, which he had always wanted to learn. When he and Gu Yao were on the island outside Jiuzhou, he watched the changes of the five elements and the space storms, and he had some vague insights, but he couldn't grasp that feeling accurately. He always felt that he was still missing that last step. If someone gave him some pointers, maybe he could make the Sky-Splitting Talisman.
Even if this assessment lasts for ten days and ten nights, it will not be very tiring for the cultivators present. It was unbearable, because all
the people who came here to compete were cultivators of the Lianxu stage or above. Jiang Jingfeng was not dominant in the talisman master and weapon master, but he did not fall into the trough either. Looking at the ranking on the jade disk, Jiang Jingfeng was still in fifth place, but was closely followed by the sixth place. When the chief steward announced the comparison of the alchemy master, the young master Sun, who was temporarily ranked sixth
, smiled proudly at Jiang Jingfeng, thinking that he had definitely won over Jiang Jingfeng.
"Please ask the alchemists under the names of the candidates to come on stage. If you have not waived your right, you will be dealt with."
Wu Yuan took the lead. Shen Xing stood up from his seat and walked to the stage. Not only him, but also Master Wei and Master Cui followed behind him.
The manager didn't know about this at first, but he guessed it vaguely after seeing the situation: "I wonder if these two alchemists..."
Young Master Sun stood up and laughed triumphantly: "General Manager, Master Wei is competing for me. Here, I would like to thank Young Master Jiang for his training of Master Wei. Thank you very much!"
Young Master Sun bowed to Jiang Jingfeng from a distance, full of malicious intent, causing constant buzzing in the square. Who could have thought that Wu Yuan would do this? They also cast sympathetic glances at Gu Yao. He was going to be suppressed by these third-grade alchemists instead of Jiang Jingfeng, and they didn't know if he could stop them.
"General Manager," Young Master Chen continued to encourage, "Master Cui Dan is on my side, General Manager, don't make the mistake."
Gu Yao gritted his teeth. These cultivators have been practicing for many years, but the way they do things really made him at a loss for words. He looked at Xu Chen and asked in a voice transmission: "Senior, do you want to go on the stage and have some fun? Don't you think it would be more interesting to scare them?"
At this time, all eyes were focused on Gu Yao. Seeing that he hadn't gone on the stage yet, they thought he was scared. Jiang Jingfeng didn't understand what he meant, so he could only hear his voice transmission at night, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Xu Chen slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! I'll go up and play with you! Is it okay for Young Master Jiang to send two alchemists to the stage?"
There was a "buzz" and the audience was about to explode. What did this mean? So there was another alchemist hidden inside Jiang Jingfeng? Or was he a third-grade alchemist?
Jiang Jingfeng opened his mouth in shock. He had no idea, but now it seemed that this Senior Xu was also an alchemist. Since Gu Yao had so much confidence in him, he couldn't be worse than him. Then, he was filled with rage. He didn't expect Gu Yao to give him such a big surprise.
"No problem, of course no problem, Senior Xu, go ahead, Chief Steward, am I right?"
The Chief Steward was also stunned for a moment. Although it was customary for one person to go on stage to compete, there was no explicit stipulation that two people could not go on stage at the same time. After all, it was very rare for Wu Yuan to bring three third-grade alchemists.
He glanced at Wu Yuan, and Wu Yuan's eyes were indeed red because of anger. He thought Jiang Jingfeng had deliberately concealed the news and caught him off guard at this critical moment.
The Chief Steward said it was no problem, so Gu Yao and Xu Chen went on stage hand in hand. The others came to their senses and couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
