Chapter 166 The Second Dao Rule

"Replying to the dean, there are many strong opponents in this alchemist competition, but I will do my best to win the first place!"

The girl, that is, Shi Nian, showed a lovely smile.

The visitor was a tall middle-aged man, Qiu Wu, who had tea with Su Zhi in the box before.

Qiu Wu is not only the mayor of Yancheng, but also the dean of Danwu Academy.

Many alchemists have been trained by him.

The reason why he has a close relationship with Su Zhi is because the interests involved are too great.

There are many Xuan-grade alchemists in his academy, and a large number of pills will be refined in every competition.

And these pills consume the materials of Su Zhi's Chamber of Commerce. According to regulations, they must be left to the Chamber of Commerce.

In this industry, although the materials are valuable, they are not the big deal.

What is really valuable is the alchemist's craftsmanship.

Otherwise, no matter how much materials you hoard, you can't turn them into pills.

The two joined forces to hold the Alchemist Competition under various names, saying that it was a test and training for those students. In fact, all the pills refined during this period would be taken away by the merchant group under Su Zhi and sold to the Xiaoyue Dynasty at a high price.

This is a huge chain of interests!

Then why did Qiu Wu come to warn Su Zhi this time?

Because a long time ago, many rules were set up in the Three Mountains and Five Ridges. No matter which chamber of commerce, it must not sell scarce resources to the Xiaoyue Dynasty, which would weaken itself and strengthen others in disguise.

In order to make high profits from it, Su Zhi has always turned a deaf ear to the rules.

He privately has a trade line with the Xiaoyue Dynasty, and it has lasted for more than ten years.

However, the war is about to start, and he has no choice but to stop this line.

The loss is absolutely astronomical!

"Shi Nian, I am very optimistic about your talent. You have accumulated a lot of experience in the academy. If you can win the championship in this alchemist competition, it will be a transformation for you!"

Qiu Wu smiled.

Shi Nian, who had no parents since childhood, was admitted to Danwu Academy through her own efforts.

The key is that she is very talented in alchemy and will definitely be able to become a saintly alchemist in the future!

In Qiu Wu's view, Shi Nian is a cash cow that can bring him continuous income.

Naturally, she must be protected.

"I will never let the dean down!"

Shi Nian nodded heavily and set her ambition.

Half a day later, all the alchemists had finished the competition, and the ten alchemists who were finally selected for the semi-finals were selected. They stood side by side on the stage, each with a calm expression.

At this time, Su Zhi walked out from the backstage with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately aroused cheers from countless audiences.

Su Zhi is a legendary figure in the land of mountains and rivers. He started from scratch, and in just a hundred years, he made his business group the top three, with strong financial resources, and even not much worse than those big forces.

"Come, present the reward!"

Su Zhi smiled lightly and pointed.

Suddenly, a group of maids came in one after another. They were wearing cheongsams and had graceful figures.

The trays in their hands were filled with various treasures.

They presented them one by one.

"This time, our rewards are unprecedented."

Su Zhi laughed and said, "Of course, the requirements for each of you will also be improved. Next, there will be three days of high-intensity alchemy. This is not only a test of skills and foundation, but also a test of mental strength and will. Only the truly tenacious can laugh to the end!"

"Last three days?"

"High-intensity alchemy?"

"So exciting!"

Many audiences were excited when they heard it.

Just listening to it will make people feel very enjoyable.

The whole audience was boiling, and they all felt that the rules of this competition were very interesting.

Only Qiu Wu frowned.

Su Zhi, Su Zhi, you are really greedy!

High-intensity alchemy for three days is simply not treating alchemists as human beings.

Do you want to take advantage of the fact that the war has not yet begun to stock up a batch of pills, and then raise the price and resell them at a high price?

You are really something!

The alchemists on the stage were all shocked and looked at each other.

Does this mean that they have to refine pills for three consecutive days?

They have never experienced such a test in the academy.

At that moment, a young man with an arrogant look shouted, "It's really ridiculous. We alchemists have always focused on quality, not quantity. This rule will only lead to bad consequences. If you insist on doing so, I, Ning Feng, will withdraw from the competition!"

"Hiss!"

As soon as these words came out, many audiences gasped.

Ning Feng, he is the most talented alchemist in the nearby cities.

He was born in an alchemy family. He has a very deep understanding of alchemy. With his excellent talent, he has reached the peak of Xuanpin alchemist at the age of less than 20. He is only one step away from breaking through to become a Shengpin alchemist!

Xuanpin and Shengpin seem to be only one word apart, but in fact their status is very different.

For others, it is very difficult to break through from the Xuan level to the Sheng level.

But for Ning Feng, it is just a matter of time.

This time, the duel between Ning Feng and Shi Nian is also very exciting!

Either of them has the possibility of winning the championship.

Most of the audience actually came for the two of them.

If Ning Feng chooses to withdraw from the competition, only Shi Nian will be left standing out from the crowd, so what is there to watch?

Su Zhi smiled, not angry. "Ning Feng, my dear nephew, don't rush to make a decision. The Alchemist Competition is a test of various fields. Quantity is important, but quality is equally important. Moreover, this time I have invested a lot of money. Each of the ten of you will have a reward. The higher the ranking, the richer the reward!" Ning Feng frowned. He did not continue to speak, but waited for Su Zhi's next words. As if he guessed what Ning Feng was thinking, Su Zhi clapped his hands and the red cloth on the tray was immediately unveiled. Spiritual medicine, natural treasures! At least they are a thousand years old! "Ivy? Such a long section?" "Is this the ghost fire grass? It's really rare." "Such a big thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is worth a lot of money, even about to surpass the Xuan-grade elixir, right?" For a while, exclamations came one after another in the audience. Even Ning Feng, who had insisted on withdrawing from the competition before, was surprised when he saw these rewards. He was not surprised by these thousand-year-old spiritual medicines. Although the Millennium Spiritual Medicine is precious, he does have it.

The key is that everyone has this spiritual medicine, which means that the Millennium Spiritual Medicine is only the lowest level reward!

There are more to come.

As expected, Su Zhi snapped his fingers, and several more trays were opened.

"Is this... Lingyun Fruit?"

"Hiss, it is said that eating one Lingyun Fruit can significantly improve your mental power!"

"It's booming, Boss Su really spent a lot of money!"

The whole audience was boiling again.

Lingyun Fruit, whether it is a formation master, a pharmacist or a weapon refiner, they all crave this thing.

The reason is that this Lingyun Fruit is a fruit that absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon. After eating it, it not only has no side effects, but also can improve mental power.

It is well known how important mental power is to them.

This time, even Ning Feng began to be moved.

How did you say it?

It smells so good!

Su Zhi smiled calmly, and seemed very satisfied with the atmosphere on the field.

Amidst the screams, he signaled the maid to lift up the other two pieces of red cloth.

On top, two jade pendants were lying quietly, about the size of a thumb, emitting a faint chill.

"Xuan-grade magic weapon, Dingxin jade pendant, or two pieces?"

"This thing is more precious than Lingyun Fruit!"

"Boss Su is really all-powerful, can he get such a thing?"

This time, the venue erupted again.

In the box, Xu Ran saw this and curled his lips, "Lingyun Fruit, Dingxin jade pendant, these are precious in our Xiaoyue Dynasty, but far from being so exaggerated. Brother Chen, you see, so many Xuan-grade alchemists are very excited, which is enough to show that the cultivation resources of the Three Mountains and Five Ridges are indeed not rich enough."

Ye Chen did not respond, his eyes were fixed on the last tray.

His fists were clenched, and there was even a red light in his pupils.

Because the mysterious woman just said that her induction in her heart became stronger and stronger. If there is no accident, the Tao should be in that last tray!

"It seems that everyone has been overwhelmed by these rewards?"

Su Zhi smiled, "Don't get excited, the real highlight is still at the end, open it!"

The maid smiled, stretched out her jade hand, and took off the last piece of red cloth.

The whole audience stopped breathing.
