Chapter 138: The County Lord's Appointment, the Bet
Chapter 138: The County Lord's Appointment, the Bet
The flying boat stopped in a forest of autumn leaves.
There is a palace in the forest.
There were two old men guarding the hall.
After verifying your identity.
The two old men then stepped aside, and saw a small teleportation array.
After Fu Shaoping and the other three stood still.
They were seen casting spells into the formation one after another. The teleportation formation began to vibrate with a humming sound, and a curtain of light rose up. After a dizzying spin, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear, and they arrived at an abandoned Taoist temple underground.
at this time.
A lot of people have already arrived at the venue.
Those wearing flying fish costumes were obviously standing in a group.
There was another group of people from the county government.
At the end, warriors dressed in the uniforms of the Princess' Mansion stood in a row.
Obviously.
The senior management who was to open the entrance to the ruins had not arrived yet.
The Qingyang County Magistrate took Wang Shouzhi to greet the officials they knew, while Fu Shaoping and Ye Qi stood where they were.
About half an hour passed.
The teleportation array in the center of the dojo hummed.
A curtain of light rose.
The originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at the teleportation array respectfully.
The light curtain receded.
However, Captain Qiu, wearing the uniform of a captain, and Prefect Xu of Nanyang Prefecture appeared together.
Everyone saluted quickly.
Captain Qiu glanced at everyone.
Take out a list:
"Those whose names are called will stand on the west side, Mo Lisheng, Li Changduo"
The names that were called out were all from the Qianhu Division and the Nanyang Prefecture Government, a total of thirty people.
Wang Shouzhi’s name was not called.
But the other party was not disappointed at all. Instead, he glanced at Fu Shaoping with a smile.
"This Wang Shouzhi actually sneaked into the core area."
Fu Shaoping and Ye Qi looked at each other. They were both a little surprised and shocked. They didn't know what means the other party had used to sneak into Princess Changning's Mansion.
After a while.
Qiu Qianhu took another list:
"Those whose names are read should stand on the east side, Qiu Shengsheng, Wu Kuishan"
These people all came from the Princess's Mansion.
After reading the names of twenty-nine people.
Captain Qiu paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows in obvious surprise, and looked at Wang Shouzhi:
"The last one is Wang Shouzhi."
The voice just fell.
Everyone swiped it.
They all looked at Wang Shouzhi at the same time.
They obviously didn't expect that someone from a small county town could actually sneak into the ranks of the Princess's Mansion.
Wang Shouzhi enjoyed the envious looks of the crowd, walked towards the east with his head held high, and couldn't stop smiling.
Qiu Qianhu collected the booklet and said:
"Okay, everyone whose names haven't been read out should stand in the North District. The Qinglian County Lord will arrive soon. When the entrance to the ruins is opened, remember, go in in the order of the East District, West District, and North District. Your corresponding areas are the core area of the Tiandao Sect, the inner gate, and the outer gate. There are powerful forbidden barriers between the three places. Don't overestimate your own abilities and try to cross the boundaries. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my lord."
Everyone agreed in unison.
Captain Qiu stepped back, and Prefect Xu stepped forward, but he still had a smile on his face:
"You all fought hard to get to this position, so naturally you all have special skills. Once you enter the ruins, you can use your best abilities."
talking.
Captain Qiu sent someone to give each person a storage bag.
Smiling, she said:
"Half of you came here from the Alchemy Contest, and the other half came here from the Hunting Contest."
"There are hundreds of spiritual medicine gardens of all sizes in the ruins, but there are monsters lurking in each spiritual medicine garden, so those of you in the hunting team can cooperate with the alchemists, or you can fight alone."
"After entering the ruins, we will assess the value of the things you brought out and then reward you with a certain level of Yin Sha Qi. It all depends on your ability."
After listening to this, Fu Shaoping finally understood why Wang Shouzhi laughed out loud last night. It was obvious that the spiritual medicines in the core area were of higher grade, and the spiritual pills refined from them would naturally be valued higher. Those from the outer sect were probably only first-grade spiritual medicines.
hum!
Just now.
The teleportation array trembled again.
Prefect Xu, who was originally giving a speech, suddenly bent down slightly and moved sideways to the teleportation array.
After the light curtain of the teleportation array disappeared.
Three figures emerged.
One of them was the Princess Qinglian, and behind her stood two angels in black and white robes, one on the left and one on the right. In the royal family, only angels of the rank of Princess and above were appointed, and their cultivation was said to have reached at least the Yuandan realm.
No wonder Prefect Xu and Captain Qiu were both so respectful.
"Meet the County Lord, Meet the Angel"
Following Prefect Xu's lead, everyone quickly followed suit and saluted.
Fu Shaoping just glanced and quickly lowered his head.
Qinglian County Lady glanced at District 3 and pointed her slender jade finger at Fu Shaoping:
"Fu Shaoping, go to the East District."
This statement came out.
Not only Fu Shaoping himself.
Everyone present looked at Fu Shaoping in surprise.
How capable was that other party to be chosen by Qinglian County Lady?
Ye Qi touched Fu Shaoping's arm, his eyes full of resentment: "Brother Shaoping, you have a relationship with the county lady, but you didn't tell me."
Under the gaze of everyone.
Fu Shaoping stood up and went to the east district.
When passing by the Qingyang County Magistrate, the Qingyang County Magistrate's pupils shrank noticeably. He obviously did not expect that Fu Shaoping actually knew the Qinglian County Master. If he had known this earlier, he would have flattered Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping stopped in the East District.
Wang Shouzhi in the East District was shocked and frowned. He was able to enter the East District by sacrificing all his hard-earned treasures and relying on the favor of the Qingyang County Magistrate. Why did Fu Shaoping get in?
It's really unfair.
So when Fu Shaoping stood beside him, he couldn't help but snort coldly. It was really a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and all the good things went to the other party.
Prefect Xu stepped forward and bowed to Qinglian County Lady:
"County Master, each district can only have 30 people. Who do you think should be transferred from the East District to the North District?"
This statement came out.
Wang Shouzhi, who was originally standing in the East District, was shocked. Only then did he realize that, yes, each transmission can only accommodate thirty people. Fu Shaoping came in, so one person must go out. Wang Shouzhi quickly lowered his head, trying his best to avoid being noticed by Qinglian County Master.
Otherwise.
The more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to work.
The slender jade hand of Qinglian County Lady pointed at Wang Shouzhi and said calmly:
"As far as I know, the champion of the Qingniu Town Alchemy Competition is Fu Shaoping. Since you are not the first place, you should vacate your position. Also, don't feel unwilling and feel unfair. Fu Shaoping refined the second-level special Linglong Pill for the first time in the Alchemy Competition. He is standing in the East District, which is well deserved!"
This statement came out.
The whole place was shocked.
He was able to refine a second-grade Linglong Pill of top quality on the first try.
There are so many alchemy techniques!
Otherwise.
Prefect Xu, who had been smiling all the time, froze immediately. He turned around and looked at the Qingyang County Magistrate. The other party had clearly told him last night that Wang Shouzhi was the champion! That was why he gave him face and used his connections to get him into the ranks of the Princess' Mansion.
The magistrate of Nanyang County was sweating profusely at this time.
I wanted to explain for a moment.
But Prefect Xu just snorted coldly and never looked at him again.
the other side.
Wang Shouzhi felt like it was a bolt from the blue!
The previous moment he was enjoying everyone's envious gazes, but this moment he was despised by everyone.
He wanted to argue.
But every word Princess Qinglian said was true.
The strong contrast made him want to find a hole to hide in. Transferred from the East District to the North District.
Transferred from the core area to the outer gate, his treasures were given away for free!
It doesn't matter!
But why is that person Fu Shaoping? !
Angered handover.
He only felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat.
Seeing that he was not presentable, the Qingyang County Magistrate became even more furious and shouted in a low voice:
"Get over there now."
roll? !
Wang Shouzhi felt a pain in his heart.
Ever since he started to make elixirs, no one has ever said a harsh word to him.
All this changed because of the appearance of Fu Shaoping.
Wang Shouzhi glared at Fu Shaoping hatefully, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he crossed from the East District to the West Side and finally arrived at the North District, standing at the very end of the queue.
Captain Qiu watched a good show and there was a little more smile in his eyes. After all, Fu Shaoping came from Zhenwu Division and was considered one of their own. This Governor Xu was a well-known smiling tiger, but now it seemed that he was being blackmailed, which was really a relief.
He stepped forward and bowed to Qinglian County Lady:
"County Master, two angels, it's almost time."
"Um"
The Princess of Qinglian County nodded slightly, then lightly tapped the ground, walked with the wind, walked to the east and sat cross-legged. Captain Qiu was on the west side, and Prefect Xu was on the north side. The two black and white angels were one on the east side and one in the middle.
All five of them were suspended in the air.
They are all at the Yuandan realm!
Fu Shaoping couldn't help but feel excited when he saw it.
A person in the Yuandan realm has a lifespan of six hundred years, which is twice as long as a person in the Tianyuan realm.
The five people moved their lips and formed seals with their hands like butterflies flying through flowers, and cast spells on the stone wall above their heads.
Fu Shaoping looked up suddenly.
The sound of waves crashing came from the stone wall.
They were not underground, but under the sea!
As spells were cast one after another, a blue vortex channel suddenly appeared on the stone wall.
at the same time.
Fu Shaoping felt his pass token tremble slightly, and a hazy white light rose up, enveloping his entire body. A pulling force from the blue vortex fell on his body.
"East District, chant the spell and go into the cave, quickly!"
The passing spell is already memorized.
Everyone's lips moved, and then their bodies flashed and were drawn into the vortex channel by a pulling force.
Followed by.
After that, people from the two districts also went in.
The vortex channel flashed slightly and disappeared.
The five people fell to the ground from mid-air, their faces slightly pale, and Qinglian County Master frowned and said:
"The space inside the ruins is becoming increasingly unstable. It looks like we can only go in a few more times at most."
I don’t know if the people who enter this time can find the piece of Heavenly Dao Jade that fell in there.
for this operation.
Their Princess Mansion has been preparing for ten years.
Select the most outstanding elites from among the retainers to join them.
I hope that the person selected this time can pass the first three levels to enter the Yunxiao Palace. According to my mother's deduction, the Tiandao Jade is in the Yunxiao Palace.
of course.
Even the twenty-nine guests who entered the ruins with a mission did not know this secret. They only knew to go to Yunxiao Palace to get something, and that was all.
Prefect Xu noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
At the same time, he recommended the wrong person for himself, and was obviously trying to please Qinglian County Master. He said:
"Everyone, as usual, do you want to bet on who can bring out the most resources from the ruins this time?"
"Let's bet. I'm not afraid of you. Haha, I wonder if you, Prefect Xu, are willing to take out your piece of Tianliang Jade as a bet?"
Captain Qiu has been coveting it for a long time.
Tianliang Jade is a rare fourth-level spiritual material produced in the Western Regions. If I could get it and add it to my own magic weapon, it would be the best. He smiled and said:
"This time I'm betting on Li Tianrong from the Princess's Mansion."
Li Tianrong is not only an expert in alchemy, but also a master hunter, and in his opinion, he is the top player.
Finished.
Qiu Qianhu slapped his storage bag.
A flash of glow.
A box with a white background and wooden grain was opened, and a yellow light rose slowly. It turned out to be a piece of fourth-grade top-grade Xuanming gold. Adding Xuanming gold to a gold-attributed magic weapon could make the magic weapon even more powerful.
Prefect Xu was so moved by what he saw.
Originally, he was a little reluctant to part with his Tianliang Jade, but Qiu Qianhu's Xuanming Gold was just what he needed, so he slapped his storage bag with a painful slap, took out the box containing the Tianliang Jade, and placed it on the justice table, saying with a smile:
"I'm betting on Zhang Ruru from the Princess's Mansion."
Zhang Ruru is a formation master.
Moreover, even Grandmaster Qiulian had praised his attainments in formation.
Enter the ruins.
Countless magic arrays.
Sometimes opening a magic circle or finding a treasure is much better than refining medicine or hunting.
After the two of them finished escorting, they looked at Qinglian County Master:
"County Lady, who are you betting on this year?"
The Qinglian County Lady slapped her storage bag and took out a fourth-level Cangyun Fruit as a bet.
The fourth-level Cang Yun is most suitable for their current level.
No matter whether it is Tianliang Jade or Xuanming Gold, they are just materials for refining weapons. How can they compare to the Cangyun Fruit of Qinglian County Master.
Prefect Xu and Captain Qiu were obviously moved.
Looking at County Master Qinglian eagerly.
I don’t know who the other party has such confidence in that he even took out such a precious Cang Yun Fruit.
But I saw the Qinglian County Lady.
His lips moved and he smiled:
"I'm betting on Fu Shaoping."
This statement came out.
Prefect Xu and Captain Qiu were obviously stunned for a moment.
In their view.
The retainers of the Princess's Mansion were carefully selected, and all of them were rare talents in Nanyang Prefecture. Although Fu Shaoping's alchemy skills were decent, he was just from a small town called Qingniu. How could he be better than the 29 seeded players who had been nurtured and trained by the Princess's Mansion since childhood? !
this.
It seems that Fu Shaoping has a close relationship with Qinglian County Master.
If not.
The Qinglian County Lady would no longer support Fu Shaoping like she does now.
"The county lady really has a keen eye."
Captain Qiu praised him.
But in my mind I was thinking about how to take the Cang Yun Fruit.
How can Fu Shaoping compare to Li Tianrong, the person he chose?
Prefect Xu standing by also stroked his beard with confidence. If Princess Qinglian chose any of the retainers from the Princess's Mansion, he would be a little worried. But since she chose Fu Shaoping, he had a 90% chance of winning!
The Qingyang County Magistrate, who was watching from below, felt his heart pounding when he heard that the Qinglian County Lady was willing to bet the Cangyun Fruit on Fu Shaoping. He was already thinking about how to win over Fu Shaoping after he came out.
The last time Master Bai from the Alchemy Tower showed up, Fu Shaoping looked down on him.
This time.
He personally acted as a lobbyist and asked Fu Shaoping to join the Alchemy Tower, or to join the county government. He didn't believe that the other party would remain indifferent with such a great temptation!
Fu Shaoping just felt a splitting headache.
Although he entered and exited the space many times.
However, the oppressive feeling of the space in this blue vortex channel made him feel like his head was about to explode at any time. If it were not for the protective light shield on the pass token, he would have fainted by now.
I don’t know how long it took.
Suddenly.
A blinding white light suddenly came into view.
Followed by.
He felt as if a force of gravity squeezed him out of the passage with a bang, and the scene before his eyes changed dramatically.
