"boom!"
There was a roar.
The sky is filled with silhouettes.
When the beam of light soared into the sky, even the vigil couldn't sit still.
He suddenly jumped up from his seat, and his eyes looking at Xu Xiaoshou were filled with shock.
"Is this a blast furnace?"
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and someone else had told him that the City Lord's Mansion was under attack, he would have been able to write a letter on the spot without even thinking about it.
"Help!"
Shiti roared loudly.
He knew the damage Xu Xiaoshou could suffer from the explosion, so he could protect him immediately.
However, in order to save the lives of those nearby, his first reaction was not to go towards the light beam soaring into the sky.
Instead, it suddenly flew into the sky and pulled down all the people around it who were thrown away.
If these people were blasted to the top and exploded with the explosion, their bones would definitely be gone.
"help me!"
Xu Xiaoshou also screamed.
The power of the "Jinzhao Condensing Pill Technique" plus the sixth-grade top elixir was obviously beyond his control.
But he is lucky.
The "Counter Shock" could not withstand the blasting attack, but instead pushed Xu Xiaoshou out in parallel, causing him to quickly evacuate the scene.
boom!
With a crashing sound, Xu Xiaoshou's figure hit the wall directly and was blasted out of the banquet room.
He looked at the beam bars in the field in disbelief, as well as President Shiti who was hurriedly trying to save the flying crowd.
"It's cold."
If this thing explodes, not to mention the banquet hall, half of the city lord's palace will be destroyed!
"Go back!"
At the critical moment, Vigil finally came to his senses.
He thought of the Haikou he had boasted about earlier.
If this crowd can't be saved, then they won't have the shame to leave this place tonight.
"Condensation!"
With a shout, Vigilante clasped his hands together, and a terrifying power exploded.
He actually surrounded this astonishing beam of light in the void and clamped it.
"Buzz!"
After saving most of the people, Shiti's realm was finally covered, and he was unable to save the rest.
"Buzz!"
On the next level, the vigil's realm directly turned into a columnar shape, restraining the light beam.
The two of them worked together very well for a long time, one saved the person and the other saved the pillar.
But the wrapped explosion will eventually explode.
"Rumble--"
The earth-shaking sound finally exploded after the energy of the beam reached its extreme.
The realm of Vigil suppressed all of this, but the suppression within a narrow range caused the waves of explosions to push outwards in waves, and then rebound.
Over and over again, the damage sustained by one person in Vigil at this moment can be said to be several times more than this explosion.
"Well!"
Suddenly, Vigilante's body shook.
His eyes suddenly widened, his eyeballs bulged, and his Adam's apple moved.
It was as if some unexpected situation had occurred due to contempt.
After the silent fluctuation, the scene became quiet for a while.
The energy of the explosion was completely blocked, but the air wave that spread out in an instant swept across the entire field after this half-breath.
Xu Xiaoshou could clearly see the outer wall of the banquet hall. After the visible air wave swept through everyone's clothes, they all flew away.
"Bang bang bang——"
Floor, banquet, food...
Together with the crowd who had been pulled down to the ground and barely found a little sense of security, they were once again swept into pieces and fell into the sky.
"boom!"
The circular outer wall of the banquet hall seemed to be blasted through, and suddenly exploded, shooting at the white-clothed guards who rushed over not far away, not knowing why but knowing that they were attacked here.
With a crash, the crowd fell down again in an instant.
Xu Xiaoshou was stupefied.
He lay on the ground, shrinking his head, feeling the aftershocks on the ground, and his heart was filled with waves.
"This is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"
As far as the eye could see, the entire banquet hall was gone.
This is also thanks to Shiti's boundary wall, which not only stopped the people who were thrown away, but also curbed the spread of the storm, so that the explosion was only maintained in such a small range.
Looking back at the audience, basically there are only a few thrones still standing at this moment.
Zhang Taiying was already dumbfounded.
He only grabbed the feet of the two people who were flying close. Just as he was about to support them again, he was stunned by the explosion.
This scene……
The corners of his eyes twitched.
Wasn't the Zhang Mansion exploded like this that day?
But now that we were closer, what we felt was completely different from the slight earthquake at that time.
"Xu Xiaoshou...it turns out that Dongting District is so helpless..."
He murmured, his face extremely gloomy.
Except for a few standing thrones, those of Grandmaster and below were either hanging on the rubble or flying to unknown places...
There is no doubt that those old men who made alchemy were all buried under the rubble that was being dug up again.
Of course, these people are still happy.
The most deceived people are those old men who were swept away from the protective barrier and swept away the explosion furnace, and then when they opened their eyes, it was like a doomsday scene.
God knows, the shadow of this moment may accompany them to death and cannot be eliminated.
"Sin."
Xu Xiaoshou blinked his eyes in embarrassment.
"It's not like the 'Jinzhao Condensing Pill Technique'. Could it be that the old man's Condensing Pill Breaking Technique, coupled with the higher-level elixir, is more powerful?"
It was obviously a moment when he should feel guilty, but suddenly a train of thought came to him, as if he had been enlightened, and his eyes lit up.
At this moment, a suppressed roar came.
"Xu, Xiao, Shou!"
Shi Ti, who was protecting all this, was already turning green.
His face was gray and gray, and his voice was mutated and horribly harsh.
"exist."
Xu Xiaoshou immediately popped his head out of the mound and waved back: "President, don't worry, I'm fine."
"?"
The scene was dead silent for a moment.
"Received a curse, passive value, +1420."
"Received resentment, passive value, +1356."
"Received fear, passive value, +1020."
"Received insult, passive value, +1211."
"..."
At this moment, the speed at which the information bar refreshes the screen is unprecedentedly crazy, even more impressive than the high frequency of "being attacked".
And the passive value updated every time is almost never less than four digits!
"Ahem."
Only then did Xu Xiaoshou realize that he might have misunderstood what President Shiti meant.
"Let's talk about accountability later. Save people first. It's not my intention to blow up the furnace. I just hope... hmm? The situation will be calm?" Xu Xiaoshou said smoothly.
Teacher Ti: "..."
He was in a mixed mood at this time, and he really wanted to vent something in the most vicious language.
But after searching the vocabulary, there was no insulting language, and I couldn't say it. I didn't know what attitude to use at this moment to face all this.
"What the hell~"
The crowd held it in for a long time, and finally a voice that was frightening, trembling, but trying its best to express the desire to complain converged into those two words, plus a trembling ending.
"Is this a fucking furnace?"
After the sound, everyone finally woke up.
"I'm holding you in my mouth, Xu Xiaoshou. Come out here and see if I don't beat you to death!"
"You did this on purpose? What were you refining just now, explosives?"
"Xu Xiaoshou, where are you? Come out and die!"
"Well, no, no, no, you put something in my mouth."
"I can't move, my foot is broken."
"Feet? Toes? Ugh!"
"..."
Xu Xiaoshou heard the curses here and immediately flicked a few sword energy to destroy the few scattered night pearls on the ground that were still struggling to release their light.
The dark night finally wiped away all the sins.
Everyone scolded them weakly, and the scene seemed to become quiet.
The wind blew, and a sad breath spread, bringing with it additional sounds that did not belong to the resentful crowd.
"Plop..."
"Plop..."
Shiti's pupils shrank.
When he heard this familiar voice, his heart felt like it was twitching, and it started to twitch.
"Be careful, look at that flame with your spiritual sense!"
Everyone still didn't understand why, but some guys near the blasting center screamed heartbreakingly.
"ah--"
"What the hell? Will-o'-the-wisp?"
"Jinzhao Tianyan?" Xu Xiaoshou was startled and immediately rushed over.
With a suction of his mouth, he absorbed the little bit of flame that leaked out into his abdomen.
"Fortunately, it's okay, it's thanks to the red clothes that the explosion didn't explode. Otherwise, the place would be filled with embers, and I'm afraid even Shiti wouldn't be able to put out the fire..."
When Xu Xiaoshou thought about his all-consuming Ember Sky Flame filling half of the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately felt guilty.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his steps were suspended and he was floating in the air.
"Um?"
When he turned around, under the hazy moonlight, Shiti's rustic and ferocious face appeared in front of him.
As for Xu Xiaoshou, he was simply hung up through his clothes.
"Whoosh!"
Shi Ti flicked his fingers, and a bright flame flew into the sky, finally returning a little clarity to this place.
After everyone was finally able to see things with their naked eyes, they looked around the entire banquet room and collectively lost their temper.
"It was half in ruins just now, and now it's all gone?"
"Damn it, where is alchemy? Others need money to make alchemy, but Xu Xiaoshou's alchemy needs his life!"
Everyone looked away in shock, and then focused their attention on Xu Xiaoshou who was lifted up and had nowhere to hide.
"hehe."
Xu Xiaoshou responded with the most sincere smile, but found that his facial muscles were a little stiff, and he immediately smiled and said: "Don't panic, it's a small mistake, haha."
"It's just a furnace explosion, a necessary skill for every alchemist, right?"
He turned around and looked at Shiti again, "Really?"
The teacher felt angry and cold.
He pointed at Xu Xiaoshou and grinned, unable to say a word.
"You call this thing a blast furnace?"
Among the crowd below, someone finally couldn't wait to speak for President Shiti.
Xu Xiaoshou glanced over: "Otherwise, I didn't mean it. Besides, before I started the furnace, I asked you if you really want to be so close? You also said it's okay!"
He looked towards the vigil.
At this time, Vigil had already received all the damage alone.
His hand supporting the realm was gray, and even if he took it back, it was still trembling slightly.
Of course it wasn't bombed.
To be honest, if it weren't for the crowd here, this explosion would be nothing to the vigil.
His body was shaking just because he felt like he was being cheated.
At this moment, it was all understood as to why Shi Ti opened the realm in advance and stayed vigilant the whole time to prevent Xu Xiao from being blown up.
This guy's fryer is completely different in nature from other people's fryers!
Xu Xiaoshou looked at him, and before he spoke, he imitated his tone and said: "What you said is not a big problem. Only with your protection can I dare to use all my firepower."
"Hmm?" Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows and wanted to get a friend on board.
The corners of Shouye's lips twitched, and the veins on his neck popped out.
This is exactly what Xu Xiaoshou said before starting the furnace.
But at this moment, it sounds like there is a strong sense of ridicule.
Do you want to save face, or do you want to retaliate against Xu Xiaoshou and take it out on him?
"Yes, it's not a big problem..."
Watching the night spread out his hands and looked around, looking at the expressions of everyone who had survived the disaster, and then his eyes fell on Xu Xiaoshou's face that made people want to punch him.
"It's not a big problem!"
"Damn it, I'm going to destroy you today!"
Watching the night rushed forward with a fierce face and fists raised.
Xu Xiaoshou:? ? ?
He was immediately frightened.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yi, who was always silent and could only nod, had such a simple reason to take action, and his temper...
Yes, this is a guy who came from a white cave. How can there be any rules in human society?
"Fu Xing, save me!"
Xu Xiaoshou roared miserably.
He bowed his waist and abdomen, and popped out of the teacher's handle. Then he lowered his body and moved toward his waist in the direction from which Vigil came.
"This speed..."
Shouye, who couldn't react for a moment, knew that he had not only underestimated Xu Xiaoshou's explosive power, but also seriously underestimated the boy's reaction and body speed.
He didn't have to use much force with this punch, he just wanted to punch Xu Xiaoshou in the face to vent his anger on the big guy.
After all, in this situation, if Xu Xiaoshou wants to escape unscathed, he obviously needs a step up.
Shiti was also confused.
He also wanted to catch Xu Xiaoshou, but this guy was like a hedgehog. He bowed his body in that moment and had a counterattack force that he could not resist. Even if he was prepared, he was still able to escape temporarily.
"Pay the line..."
"Xiao Fu, where are you!"
Xu Xiaoshou was panicked. There were all enemies here, and only Fu Xing could rely on him.
Um?
etc!
Why didn't Fu Xing reply?
His steps suddenly stopped.
At this time, everyone also realized that something was wrong.
Such a big thing has happened, how could the deputy city lord still not come out to take charge of the overall situation?
Everyone thought for a moment.
On the eve of the explosion, the thrones closest to Xu Xiaoshou did not seem to be all thrones such as Shiti and Vigil.
Pay the line.
As a host.
It seems that he...has no choice but to be on a high platform?
"Little Deputy City Lord..."
As everyone fell silent, the slightly audible cry of a guard in white finally came from the ruins outside the banquet hall.
"Wake up, little deputy city lord..."
"You can't sleep..."
…
…
The banquet room is unusable.
However, everyone did not stick to trivial matters. After gathering a few old master-level spiritual refiners of the earth element, everyone worked together to flatten the ruins, and then used stone tables to restore the banquet to a somewhat presentable state.
No one complained about the City Lord's Mansion.
It was as if after being brutally tortured by the same persecutor at the same time, everyone had a very united force and looked at their own masterpiece with a bit of pride.
As for Xu Xiaoshou...
Xu Xiaoshou was sitting on a raised stone pier with a bag on his head.
Beside him was a girl whose little skirt had turned gray.
Mu Zixi can be said to be the least embarrassed person in the scene at this moment.
Compared with other people's dirty faces, her little face should be the cleanest.
After all, it's better to protect in advance.
"You are no longer qualified for the alchemy competition." She said teasingly.
"I know."
"Then Hongyi and Chairman Shiti should be merciful, right?" The little girl had an unstoppable smile on her face.
"Yes."
"But if it were Master...well, I don't seem to have seen Master take action against you?" Mu Zixi was suddenly startled.
Seeing Xu Xiaoshou deflated, she felt happy.
But suddenly when I thought about it, it seemed that even if Xu Xiaoshou did some indescribable and horrific things in Tiansang Ling Palace, he really had not been punished.
"Don't mention it. That old guy has dozens more levels than you think. I'd rather he beat me up."
Xu Xiaoshou covered his face, not letting most people see that he had recovered from his injuries.
Mr. Sang is different from these guys.
I can't say that, but he actually seems to be very good.
I said it was very good, but I felt like I couldn't say it out loud, something seemed strange.
Xu Xiaoshou felt that if he really admitted it, Juebi would be the kind of person who would help count the money after being sold to someone else, and still miss him in the end.
At least so far, he could only feel that Sang Lao's big game was not over yet.
But judging from the current progress, you can't even see the shit.
"Brother Xiaoshou, are you okay?"
Su Qianqian quietly touched her hand from the main table.
After Xu Xiaoshou left, she no longer wanted to be alone at that table.
Surrounded by some old men, they can't stay any longer. Young people should still play with young people.
Anyway, now that everyone's face has been lost, naturally no one will stand up and say that they have acted inappropriately.
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Xiaoshou put down his hand and glanced at the host table: "It's OK, how's it going?"
"He's still there."
Su Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled softly.
Fu Xing was really the worst in the whole show.
The explosion sent it away immediately, and no one found it yet.
When he was finally awakened by the white-clothed guard, he screamed this.
It was only after the teacher brought him over that he discovered that this kid was still contaminated with "Jinzhao Tianyan"...
Well, I can't die.
With Shi Ti present, there were many injured and no one dead in the audience.
"Are you Brother Xiaoshou's junior sister?"
Su Qianqian turned back and looked at Mu Zixi.
This was the first time she had seen a girl of about the same height, age, and comparable strength inside the Spiritual Palace.
"Junior sister?"
Hearing this title, Mu Zixi was startled. He knew the agreement between Xu Xiaoshou and Sang Lao, and was about to shake his head.
"I got it."
Su Qian smiled slightly and said: "I have already asked my master. Although he didn't say anything, people with a discerning eye can already see it. I really don't know what to hide."
Mu Zixi was startled.
In fact, this is also her question.
As long as Xu Xiaoshou's "Jinzhao Tianyan" appears, as long as someone is willing to investigate, he can definitely match up with Sang Lao.
She didn't know why her master was so covert.
"good."
Xu Xiaoshou admitted it generously.
As for the "Three Chapters of the Agreement", at first he thought it was to protect himself, but later he realized that it was completely unnecessary. Whatever he wanted to know, it was easy to find out in the end.
But now, after getting to know Old Man Sang a little bit, he felt relieved.
This old guy definitely has some ulterior secrets.
The existence of "Three Chapters of the Agreement" defined the fact that from the outsiders' point of view, there would always be a gap between himself and Mr. Sang.
No matter how much you believe it, as long as the two of you don't admit it, it means you don't have it.
In the adult world, sometimes, you really need to follow specific rules, or evidence.
No matter how obvious the reasoning is, it will not become evidence without concrete evidence.
Mr. Sang was indeed protecting himself.
But he was also hiding something.
His "Three Chapters of Agreement" were not aimed at the people inside the Spiritual Palace.
Maybe, it's against the enemy far away?
"Mu Zixi."
"Su Qianqian."
The two little girls over there seemed to have made friends happily.
Xu Xiaoshou didn't pay too much attention.
He turned his attention to the newly paved hard soil floor.
Even if the time bomb Xu Xiaoshou was lost at this moment, no one would dare to open the protective shield to make elixirs.
God knows how frightened and horrified the three sixth-grade men were because they had refined elixirs beside Xu Xiaoshou at that time.
As a result, everyone in the audience was healing themselves while quietly waiting for the alchemist's final result.
Of course, this kind of silence is only apparent.
As soon as Xu Xiaoshou closed his eyes, he could clearly feel the terrifying power of the curse contained in this seemingly calm banquet room.
"Cursed, passive value, +1212."
"Being remembered, passive value, +1240."
"Being cursed, passive value, +1123."
"..."
The alchemy crisis was interrupted midway, and all the alchemists were emotionally unstable.
When the final results came out and the protective shield came down, the aroma of medicine was certainly filled in the field.
But the burning smell mixed in it is also very obvious.
The old men had obviously never tried to make elixirs in such a state of mind.
It's a blast, that's for sure.
But there are still many people with a strong mentality who are supporting Cheng Dan.
Although the quality is not good, compared with other alchemists, it is already a good result.
The final championship was won by Long Dan.
This old guy no longer took out the "Great Qing Ling Ming Pill" from before, but instead chose a seventh-grade pill.
As for Chen Qi and Li Mingji, who still insisted on the "Grandmaster Pill" and "Jidao Pill", there was no doubt that they all failed.
A sixth-grade alchemist is certainly impressive.
But I was mentally unstable at level 6, and despite holding on, I still couldn't make the elixir that matched my level.
After all, there is only one big heart, Xu Xiaoshou.
Long Dan, who won the championship through a trick, didn't look very proud, or he couldn't tell if he was proud.
After all, they all look the same, except they have a gray head and a gray face.
In short, after losing Xu Xiaoshou, the atmosphere of alchemy that should have been pleasant has become very strange because of his remaining soul.
Previous years' Cheng Dan auction was directly cancelled.
reason?
The host is still lying on the ground!
Fu Yinhong took over the gang. She looked at the sky, as if she was expecting something, but until the end, the person she was looking forward to still didn't show up.
"The alchemy competition is over."
"The trial of the spiritual formation method does not start now."
Fu Yinhong said, looking at Vigil: "Senior, come and announce the rules!"
Watching the night stood up and glanced at the somewhat quiet atmosphere that had returned.
"The competition of the Spiritual Formation is very simple."
"As we all know, the rules of different dimensions determine the terrain within it and the creation of special secret realms."
"I will give you a spiritual formation diagram. This diagram is a rubbing from the rules of another dimension."
"Whoever can solve it... Well, it should be said that in the end, the allocation of the remaining spots in the White Cave will be decided based on your progress in solving it."
"The more you unlock, the more places you will get."
"certainly……"
Having said this, Shouye smiled like an old fox: "If no one can solve it in the end, the remaining spots will be given to the person who can solve the spiritual formation diagram."
"It doesn't matter whether this person is here or not!"
This time, everyone was shocked.
Originally, as Vigil said earlier, they were very happy to have access to the spiritual formation map of the White Cave terrain in advance.
After all, even if I can’t solve it, I should still be able to remember some of it!
What can be taken out by Vigil is combined with his previous words of inviting spiritual formation masters from all over the world.
This spiritual formation map must be an extremely important topographic map in the White Cave, and it may be the central area.
But……
"Listen to what the red-clothed senior said, will this spiritual formation diagram spread out by then? Can those who haven't come yet also see it?"
Everyone panicked.
This is not a good thing.
If more people know about it, doesn’t the information you know in advance lose all meaning?
Watching the guys thinking in groups, Vigil thought it was funny in his heart.
If it could really be so easy to solve it for unprepared people like you on the scene, why would I need to say the words I said earlier to invite spiritual masters from all over the world?
Even the red organization cannot fully understand the map. Even those here, even if they have spiritual formation masters, cannot even touch the door!
However, if you want to give hope, you can't just say it to death.
"Now, the competition begins."
Vigil took out rows of jade slips.
"Anyone who is interested and wants to try out the spiritual formation master can come here."
"Remember, only spiritual formation masters can take it. I don't have many jade slips."
Everyone's steps stagnated, and a large number of people were about to rush up to memorize the spiritual formation map.
But those last words made everyone sit back in their seats.
As a result, in the end, there were only about twenty family forces who had just brought the spiritual formation masters over, and they stepped forward with great expectations.
"Damn it, I missed the first opportunity. I don't know how much I will have to pay if I want to get this spiritual formation diagram later."
"Yeah, it's a shame. If I had known there was a spirit formation competition, I should have invited my old man out of the mountain!"
"This wave of direct losses of 100 million... huh?"
Everyone was talking among themselves, but suddenly their voices stopped, as abruptly as if they were being silenced by a saint.
Watching the night raised his head in astonishment, and suddenly saw everyone's eyes converging on one side.
"Xu Xiaoshou?"
His face turned dark instantly, "What are you doing standing up?"
"hehe."
Xu Xiaoshou was already keeping vigil at this moment.
As for the three punches this guy had given him in the face, the kick in the stomach, and the slap on the back of the butt...
He even remembers the strength clearly.
"Why, you look down on people?"
Xu Xiaoshou held his head high, walked like a dragon and a tiger, and shouted loudly:
"I, Xu Xiaoshou, spiritual formation master!"
"If you don't accept it, come fight!"
