boom!
On Qiqi Peak, Zhang Xiaopou exploded the furnace again.
The furnace lid blew up dozens of feet high.
This is a rematch of Game 3.
But not all contestants can participate.
Those contestants who gave up the game and failed to refine, as well as those who succeeded in refining, do not need to participate in the rematch.
Only those contestants who were refining and preparing for refining when Qingyun Peak exploded and were truly affected are eligible to participate in the rematch.
The rematch time is twelve hours.
No one had an opinion, and even if they did, they didn't dare to raise it.
Because all the Liu family members, including Tianzun Tianzun, had cold faces, the atmosphere was very depressing, and no one dared to strike the edge of the knife without looking long-sightedly.
"Hey!" Zhang Xiaozu sighed in frustration at the alchemy furnace, "It was just a little bit close!"
This explosion announced that his score in the third game was zero. Not only did he lose the opportunity to compete for first place, he even couldn't get a good ranking because his score in the second game was also zero. The score is only one hundred and twenty-two.
"It's a pity, it's just a little bit worse."
Daozu couldn't help but shake his head, feeling sorry for Zhang Xiaopou.
"What's a pity?" Tianzun Bliss sneered disdainfully and said, "That kid just relied on a little skill to forcibly combine the power of conflicting medicinal properties. It is impossible to succeed at all. Even if he succeeds by luck, the elixir he refines will be It cannot be taken."
"What do you know?" Dao Ancestor glanced sideways at Bliss Tianzun and said, "The reason why the path of alchemy has stalled is because everyone sticks to the rules and is self-contained and lacks the courage and courage to boldly innovate. What kind of elixir did you, the boy from the Liu family, refine? , it does have some value, but ultimately, it is just the discovery of a new formula, which does not help the improvement of alchemy at all."
"Ouch, the grapes are so sour, it makes my teeth sore." Tianzun Tianzhen said jokingly, covering his cheek.
"Not only are your teeth broken, but your brain is also missing. Get down on the ground and look for it, otherwise you will be brainless in the future." Dao Zu said with a smile.
Xiaoyao Tianzun rolled his eyes at the two of them and shouted, "It's so noisy, everyone, shut up!"
Only then did the two of them stop talking angrily.
…
Two days later, the game ended.
The results were announced early the next morning.
Zhang Xiaozu only got 96th place with a score of 122 points.
Many people felt sorry for him.
Liu Zhihuan won the first place as expected.
Qi Jinyao ranked second.
At the award ceremony, Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but regret a little when he saw the generous rewards received by the top ten.
But thinking that not only had I stolen Qingyun Peak, but also three dragon veins, I immediately felt happy.
"Congratulations to Brother Liu for winning the first place!"
Zhang Xiaozu congratulated Liu Zhihuan as he walked down the podium.
"Lucky luck." Liu Zhihuan smiled and waved his hand, then shook his head and felt sorry for Zhang Xiaopou and said, "Brother Zhang is too impulsive. With Brother Zhang's super high alchemy skills, if you choose someone who is sure, this leader will be the leader." It must be Brother Zhang."
"Brother Liu thinks too highly of me." Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and said, "I got zero points in the second game. If I can't win the third game by surprise, how will I have a chance to compete for first place? Since I choose to take risks, I must be prepared to fail. , I am convinced that I will lose."
"But I won disgracefully." Liu Zhihuan said feeling ashamed.
"Congratulations to Miss Qi." Zhang Xiaozu congratulated Qi Jinyao.
Qi Jinyao's cheeks were slightly red and she said, "Brother Zhang is also very good, but it's a pity that he is a little unlucky. Don't be discouraged and work hard next time."
"Haha, okay." Zhang Xiaozu smiled and nodded.
Qi Jinyao didn't know why Zhang Xiaozhu was laughing. She couldn't help but wonder if she had said the wrong thing. She felt that "try harder next time" might not be the right word, because there might not be another competition like this, so her cheeks suddenly turned redder. .
Liu Zhihuan saw that Zhang Xiaozu was not depressed or depressed at all because of the loss in the game, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Xiaozu's optimism and broad-mindedness.
If he knew the real reason behind Zhang Xiaozu's optimism and broad mind, I don't know how he would feel.
The Liu family prepared a sumptuous lunch for all the contestants.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they began to see off the guests.
Before Zhang Xiaozu left the Danxia Fairy Land, he quietly left a small force of aura and fostered it in the Danxia Fairy Land, waiting to collect it when he had the opportunity to come next time.
Returning to Jinshiyuan Inn, the old beggar was not there.
The steward Gillian told him that the Danse was over and the guest room could only be stayed for free for three more days. If he wanted to continue to stay, he would have to pay the room fee.
Zhang Xiaozu did not renew the room fee.
He was already anxious to leave Paradise City and chase Zhou Jianlai and the others, but there were still many things to do, so he could only temporarily suppress his eagerness to leave.
Liujiabao announced the competition rankings.
Jinshiyuan Inn suddenly became lively, and many family members came to the inn's accommodation area to make friends with the top alchemists and weapon masters who lived in the inn.
Although Zhang Xiaozu only passed the exam with ninety-six students, there was still an endless stream of visitors.
Because people have seen the level of his alchemy skills and confirmed that he is a powerful alchemist worth making friends with.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a luxurious carriage with the Liujiabao logo stopped in front of Zhang Xiaozu's guest room. Then Grand Master Yan Mingchao got off the carriage and entered Zhang Xiaozu's yard.
Someone happened to see this scene and was shocked that Yan Mingchao came to see Zhang Xiaopou in person.
In the living room, Zhang Xiaozu was entertaining Yang Ziqin, the speaker of Brother Dingtiandan, and several other visitors.
When the maid reported that Yan Mingchao was visiting, Yang Ziqin and others were startled, and hurriedly followed Zhang Xiaozu out to greet him.
Welcoming Yan Mingchao into the living room, after a few brief greetings, Yang Ziqin and the others left in a sensible manner.
They are all smart people in the interpersonal field. They know that Yan Mingchao came to see Zhang Xiaopou in person, and there must be something important to say, which they cannot listen to.
"Go and stand guard outside the door, don't allow anyone to disturb you."
Zhang Xiaozu ordered Gillian, the steward.
"yes."
Gillian immediately left the room with the maids.
"Have you thought about that?"
Yan Mingchao put down his teacup and asked straight to the point.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said, "The junior can share the alchemy skills with the senior without reservation, but the condition is that he hopes to become his teacher and learn from his superb skills."
"Haha..." Yan Mingchao stroked his beard and smiled, "What a coincidence, that's exactly what I thought."
He had previously promised Zhang Xiaozu that he was willing to exchange all his life's knowledge for alchemy with Zhang Xiaozu. If the deal was concluded, it would be no different from accepting Zhang Xiaozu as his disciple.
"Thank you, senior, for your love, but I must first remind you that my alchemy skills may not be universal. Senior cannot regret it, let alone get angry." Zhang Xiaozhu said with a slightly embarrassed expression, first giving Yan Mingchao's retreat. block up.
Yan Mingchao couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and then he laughed dumbly and said, "I seem to smell the smell of a trap."
Zhang Xiaopou smiled and said nothing.
"Even if your alchemy skills are really not universal, you can still give me some inspiration. At least it can give me a research direction. It will not be worthless. Even if it is worthless, I will admit it." Yan Mingchao said.
After saying that, he stood up, straightened his clothes, picked up a chair, walked to the main hall and sat down, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and said, "Come, let's become my disciple."
Zhang Xiaozu was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "Now? Here?"
"What if not?"
"Would it be a little simpler? It would be beneath your status as an elder." Zhang Xiaozu said.
He was planning to become famous by becoming a disciple and preparing to hold a grand and solemn apprenticeship ceremony. Of course, he did not want to become a disciple so quietly.
Yan Mingchao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Fame and wealth are all external things. I never care about these things."
His casualness put Zhang Xiaopou in trouble.
