Chapter 167 I Want to Participate
"This is..." Xu Ran was well-informed, and when he saw the last thing on the tray, he cried out. All the alchemists were staring at that thing. Even Ning Feng, a proud son of heaven, couldn't help but show a burning look. Other alchemists couldn't suppress the manic breath in their bodies. After the explosion, they couldn't help but want to rush forward to grab it. But after a brief period of turbidity, their minds quickly became clear and they immediately withdrew their hands. What a joke, what is this place? This is Yancheng, this is Su Zhi's territory! Who is Su Zhi? He is a well-known Chamber of Commerce oligarch in the Three Mountains and Five Ridges, and he has dozens of Saint Realm masters under his command. Not to mention, the city lord Qiu Wu is also here, and he has killed five times! Who dares to act wildly at this time? That's simply looking for death! There was a small transparent bottle on the tray, and a twisted green flame was burning inside. Although the bottle could not let out any breath, everyone could still sense the horror of this strange fire!
Every flicker of the flame seemed to penetrate into the soul.
This scene, in the eyes of the alchemists, was even more tempting than the most beautiful woman in the world dancing.
Because, this is... strange fire!
The most important thing for alchemists is not the furnace or the prescription, but the strange fire!
A powerful strange fire can comprehensively improve the strength of an alchemist.
Strange fire is easier to control the temperature and more powerful. No matter what kind of elixir is refined, it is easy to get.
Who would have thought that this last reward was actually a strange fire!
All the alchemists' pupils flashed with desire.
"Yes, it is the strange fire!"
Su Zhi nodded, "This strange fire was obtained by chance by me. I originally wanted to sell it at a high price, but then I thought, I have been holding the Alchemist Competition in Yancheng for many years, and I have never given you any truly valuable feedback. This strange fire can just be used as a reward for the first place!"
"It's a big investment..."
Even Qiu Wu was shocked.
He didn't expect that Su Zhi would be so bold and take out the strange fire as a reward in one breath.
No wonder he dared to say that he would refine it for three days and three nights.
It turned out that he had the confidence!
Ning Feng, who had threatened to withdraw from the competition before, had red pupils, and he wished he could take action immediately and take the strange fire for himself.
It's too important, it's really too important!
Let's not talk about the value of the strange fire, the key is the number, it's really too rare.
Even those holy product alchemists may not be able to own the strange fire.
So, it's no wonder that these alchemists are so excited.
"Tsk tsk, this last strange fire really refreshed my knowledge."
Xu Ran sighed repeatedly, "It seems that this land of three mountains and five ridges is not as barren as imagined. It can actually take strange fire as the first prize. Now those alchemists will fight for it with their lives, right?"
Ye Chen stared at the strange fire with his eyes.
He could feel that there was a Dao rule floating in the center of the strange fire.
Although he couldn't see the specific appearance of the Dao rule, the aura was there, and he couldn't be wrong!
"The Dao rule is actually in the strange fire?"
Ye Chen whispered, "The key is that this strange fire is the first prize of the alchemist competition. It is extremely difficult to get chestnuts from the fire. Why don't you help me get the Dao rule?"
"Dream on."
The woman sneered, "If you rely on me for everything, how can you grow? Besides, there are at least three powerful people who have killed five times in the field. Even if I can take action to solve them all, you don't have the strength to escape from here!"
"What should I do?"
Ye Chen frowned and tried to think of a solution.
From the looks of these alchemists, it can be seen that no matter who gets the first place, they will definitely not give up the strange fire. No matter how generous the conditions are, they will not care.
For alchemists, strange fire is more important than anything else!
So, it is impossible to exchange with them.
"Of course there is a way, and it is the simplest and most upright way."
The woman said lightly, "Go and sign up for the competition. With your own strength, you should take the first place. The strange fire will naturally fall into your hands. Why do you need to consider other things?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, "I know nothing about alchemy. You let me go up to participate. Isn't this embarrassing?"
"You don't understand, but I do!"
A low shout sounded from the depths of Ye Chen's mind.
The voice was filled with absolute dominance and arrogance, and it seemed to have an aura that looked down on the world!
"Who are you?"
Ye Chen was stunned and thought hard.
This voice did not have any impression.
But the key is why it appeared in his mind out of thin air?
"Hmph, you have been in charge of the Cauldron of Creation for so long, but you don't even know who I am!" The old man's voice was filled with anger of being ignored. How arrogant was he in the outside world back then? His name was known all over the world. Now he is trapped in the first seal and becomes a prisoner, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to be remembered. Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel furious. "He is a prisoner in the first seal, an alchemist." The woman said coldly, "If you work together with him, it will be easy to win the first place in this competition!"
"Didn't you say that the first-level prisoner must not be released? You also said that if he came out, I would have a 99% chance of being killed instantly. Now you want him to teach me. What are you thinking?" Ye Chen frowned. Could it be that the seal has loosened recently? How come even the first-level prisoner can talk to him directly? The woman urged, "The competition is about to start. Hurry up and sign up. If you miss it, your hope of getting the strange fire through formal channels will be extremely slim!" "..." Ye Chen gritted his teeth and always felt that this matter was a bit unreliable. But there was no other way. So, Ye Chen stood up. "Brother Chen, what's wrong? Is this chair uncomfortable to sit on?" Xu Ran was also a little surprised when he saw this. "How about we change it?" Ye Chen looked gloomy and walked out quickly without answering. "Brother Chen, where are you going?" Xu Ran asked. However, there was still no response. "Is Brother Chen angry?"
Xu Ran was a little confused. He was fine before, why did his attitude change so much?
"Brother, you ask questions everywhere, who can stand it?"
Xu Jiaqi pouted, "Maybe Ye Chen has some private matters, let's not care so much."
"That's right."
Xu Ran nodded.
But before he finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure walking quickly towards the stage.
"Huh?"
Xu Ran always felt that this figure looked familiar, like Ye Chen.
After rubbing his eyes a few times, he confirmed it again.
Yes, it was Ye Chen!
Xu Ran screamed, "What is Brother Chen going to do? To snatch the strange fire? No, there are so many strong people in the field. If you are impulsive, you will regret it forever!"
Outside the door, Li Fu was also stunned when he heard this.
Snatch the strange fire?
Are you... kidding?
He looked a little alert.
He was also thinking in his heart, should he report this matter?
Under the gaze of thousands of people, Ye Chen stepped onto the platform with an indifferent look.
His steps were steady and majestic.
His waist was straight and his temperament was outstanding.
Everyone was wondering, who is this person and why did he come on stage at this critical moment?
Ye Chen walked straight to Su Zhi and said, "I want to participate."
Su Zhi smiled and was slightly surprised.
He looked around, as if he wanted to get a reasonable explanation.
Who is this kid, which disciple, do you know the rules?
If you want to participate, it's not impossible.
Why didn't you come on stage during the selection?
Now that the ten places have been determined, you come up and intervene, isn't this making trouble?
"Temporary participation? Are you moved by the strange fire?"
"It's normal, even I am moved, let alone others?"
"I didn't expect that Boss Su is so generous!"
Some alchemists laughed in a low voice.
Ning Feng snorted coldly when he saw this. "Each round of the Alchemist Competition is very strict. The purpose is to exclude those with poor strength and strive to improve the audience's perception to the extreme. Not everyone is qualified." Su Zhi smiled lightly, "My dear brother, I have a complete set of rules for organizing the competition. No matter who comes, they must follow the rules. Without rules, there will be no order. What do you think?" "I want to participate." Ye Chen turned a deaf ear to these words. He repeated the four words again. His voice was firm and emphasized. It was decisive and resounding!
