Free Web NovelChapter 2632: Chapter 2635: Rules
After another disturbance, the Dan Dao Competition resumes.
The Yan Family members were driven back to the Yan Family, guarded by the Elixir Divine City Guard Army.
The title of the Yan Family as one of the Five Great Families was directly stripped by Si Wenkang, and they cannot regain it for life, unless they earn enough merit on the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
At this moment, the Spiritual Fire competition was already reaching its end, with the final group engaging in their duel.
Huo Langran watched Jiang Chen, who was sitting cross-legged below the high platform, studying the item in his hands, his gaze showing a complex expression.
Originally wanting to give up on Jiang Chen, but after two successive disturbances, especially the second one, everyone understood Jiang Chen had thoroughly caught the eye of Si Wenkang.
If Si Huang’er values him, these major powers might at best pretend to welcome him but secretly would consider assassinating; however, Si Wenkang’s attention is different—especially since Jiang Chen holds a Message Transmitting Jade Slip personally given by Si Wenkang, the kind that can send messages across continents.
If an assassination were attempted, unless it was a fatal shot, it would certainly provoke Si Wenkang’s wrath.
How could they achieve a one-hit kill with two Saint Expert or stronger protectors from the Gold-devouring Rat Clan by Jiang Chen’s side?
Huo Langran and Huo Laiwang exchanged glances, both filled with regretful expressions; they truly shouldn’t have! Shouldn’t have disregarded Huo Weixi’s words, should not have planned to abandon Jiang Chen for an alliance with the Yan Family!
But at this moment, saying anything was too late; Huo Langran glanced at Jiang Chen, then turned to Fire Phoenix: "Phoenix, if possible, after the competition, please invite Mr Jiang to our home as a guest!"
Fire Phoenix’s face darkened, snorting, "Why didn’t you do this earlier?"
Huo Langran grimaced, no longer persuading.
Indeed, why didn’t they act sooner!
Below the high platform, Jiang Chen held the Message Transmitting Jade Slip, carefully sensing the Dao Rhythm within it.
So that’s how it is!
A flash of insight appeared in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
After this exploration, he already understood the formation of the Message Transmitting Jade Slip.
There are three types of Message Transmitting Jade Slips: one that transmits across continents, one across major regions, and one for city-wide transmission. He had once seen a slip with Hu Yiqiu, but the one he had was the most common city-wide transmitting jade slip.
Even the simplest city-wide transmitting jade slip is quite expensive.
The jade slip is incredibly difficult to refine; even the most basic requires a Saint Realm expert who has comprehended the Spatial Path to create.
Refining a Message Transmitting Jade Slip is similar to a Saint locating a spatial node and tearing through space to reach it, carrying a teleportation jade is akin to carrying a mobile spatial node.
Tearing through space to traverse distances is achievable for a Saint; it’s merely a matter of the distance they can cover, yet maintaining this mobile spatial node from disappearing requires a Saint Expert who has understood the Spatial Path.
Moreover, the farther this mobile space travels, the harder it becomes to capture; Saints can merely refine city-wide spatial jade slips, Saint Monarch Strong Ones can refine region-wide, but to craft continent-spanning spatial jade slips, one needs the legendary Transcendent Strong Ones, also known as Supreme Experts.
The Great Dao rhythm on the continent-wide Message Transmitting Jade Slip is separated and refined into the jade slip, enabling it to transmit messages across continents.
This is why the jade slips are so scarce; however, in major powers, there are still some because the continent has existed for countless ages, and many jade slips have been passed down.
Swish!
A shadow flickered, and Lei Ling’er leaped beside Jiang Chen, taking out her own Message Transmitting Jade Slip: "Brother Jiang Chen, leave a little bit of your Primordial Spirit Imprint, and we can communicate with each other."
"Alright!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, exchanging Primordial Spirit Imprints with Lei Ling’er.
"All those who advance to the next rank, step forward!"
Suddenly, a call rang out.
Jiang Chen turned to look; the competition had ended, and some were walking away dejectedly.
"I’ll go on stage first!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Jiang Chen said with a light-hearted smile.
"Brother Jiang Chen, good luck!"
Lei Ling’er pumped her small fists in encouragement for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his figure flashed, and he leaped onto the square.
"Everyone spread out, prepare to refine elixirs!"
Yuan Kui glanced over everyone, speaking softly.
Swish, swish!
The crowd hurriedly adjusted their positions, higher ranks in front, lower ranks at the back, maintaining a distance of around twenty meters to prevent disturbances during elixir refining.
"The rules for the final elixir refining contest must be emphasized."
Yuan Kui cast a glance at Jiang Chen, speaking loudly: "Firstly, you must provide your own alchemy cauldron, spiritual fire, and materials for refining elixirs."
"Secondly, do not disturb others during refining, anyone who intentionally disturbs will be killed on the spot."
"Thirdly, if someone triggers Elixir Lightning and suspects it will spoil their elixirs, they may go up to the high platform to refine there. Of course, if it wouldn’t affect you and you deliberately ran up, don’t blame me for kicking you down."
"Fourthly, the refining period lasts ten days; within those days, regardless of how many elixirs you refine, one elixir must be kept for the contest evaluation, after which, the elixir is yours."
Scanning the crowd, Yuan Kui shouted: "Has everyone understood?"
"Understood!"
Jiang Chen and the others answered in succession.
"Good, the competition begins!"
Yuan Kui nodded, announcing loudly.
Swish, swish, swish!
No sooner had Yuan Kui’s voice fallen, one by one, alchemy cauldrons appeared before everyone.
"Whoa, so many Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapon alchemy cauldrons!"
"These people are indeed..."
"No wonder they are masters of the Alchemy Dao!"
The bystanders looked enviously at the nineteen alchemy cauldrons that had been brought out, all of them Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapon alchemy cauldrons.
A single Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapon can be auctioned for hundreds of premium spirit stones, tens of thousands of high grade spirit stones, or billions of inferior spirit stones.
Of course, no one would use a Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapon to auction for medium grade or lower spirit stones.
So, before everyone, it was as if nineteen heaps of spirit stones were piled up.
Out of twenty people, nineteen had taken out their cauldrons; only Jiang Chen hadn’t produced his yet.
"What’s Jiang Chen doing?"
"No idea, why isn’t he starting to warm his cauldron?"
"What is he thinking?"
The spectators watched Jiang Chen, puzzled.
Indeed, Jiang Chen was lost in thought, pondering Si Wenkang’s actions, sensing something amiss.
Does he want me to acquire those rankings to make a name? To become famous...
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s eyes brightened, looking somewhat helplessly at Si Wenkang.
He’s not quite like a leader, as a battlefield leader needs a certain ruthlessness, often facing choices: choose for a small group to perish to heavily damage the enemy, or preserve that small group and miss this opportunity.
Such decisions are encountered frequently, he doesn’t want to make such choices!
Promptly, Jiang Chen let out a slight bitter smile, agreeing to Fire Phoenix for the Huo Family to retain a spot, needing to enter the top five, promised Su Qingluan to assist the Su Family, top ten is definitely achievable, and to defeat his master’s opponent, recovering his master’s dignity, he must make it into the top three.
At this moment, he truly understood, Si Wenkang deliberately did this.
Si Wenkang likely deduced his need to gain these positions, thus saying these things purposefully, letting others know his reasons for valuing him, and then, during battle, arranging his duties accordingly.
In doing so, everything would seem less abrupt!
