Volume 1 A Thousand Stars Chapter 18 Into the Crater
Early in the morning of the second day, the people who participated in the picking of condensing flowers from the Alchemy Institute gathered in front of the Dan Institute, led by Li Danshi, and went straight to the volcanic crater in the Huoyun Mountain Range.
On the way, Master Li Dan instructed Wang Dashao and Xie Fan, "You two have no experience in picking, and after entering the crater, you must advance and retreat with the two senior brothers." ”
The two older brothers, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Qian, promised to take care of the two younger brothers more during the picking, but looking at the full disdain in their eyes, they must have been disgusted with the oil bottles of the two of them.
Although there is a lot of strength in numbers, but since there are not many dangers, everyone is willing to fly solo, after all, if you really encounter a high-quality condensation flower above six leaves, no one else will be separated, and the chance of winning the ranking is greater.
The distance between the Huoyun Mountain Range and Huoyun City was not far away, and there was a flying shuttle sacrificed by Master Li Dan to take everyone, and it didn't take long to reach the side of the crater. The place was already full of people, and the city lord's mansion and the people of the major families crowded around the entrance of the crater.
Seeing that the people from the alchemy center had arrived, Zhao Wangcai, the head of the Zhao family, a big family in the city, came over first to give a salute, "Master Li Dan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"It's no wonder that the Zhao family is doing a prosperous business, and this early word alone far surpasses Li. Li Danshi joked with a smile.
This Zhao Wangcai took Li Danshi and the two forward, and a young man who was originally standing behind Zhao Wangcai walked side by side with Xie Fan and others, and at this time he also greeted Wang Dashao and Zhang Qian, and teased each other.
Finally, he turned his head to look at Xie Fan, "You are Xie Fan, the guy who got the quota by relying on his relationship?"
When Xie Fan heard this, he was very unhappy, and replied lightly, "Xie is not talented, and he can only rely on the prestige of his elders to get this place, which makes this senior brother smile." But I don't know which family this senior brother is? ”
The young man smiled coldly and replied proudly, "Zhao Pingtian of the Zhao family." ”
Xie Fan replied without yin or yang: "I have heard of the name for a long time." Then he didn't bother with him.
When the young man saw that Xie Fan was no longer talking, his face became even more gloomy, and he snorted and said, "Although there is no danger in this picking, it requires extremely high soul power, and I am afraid that some people will not be able to pick a high-quality condensing flower by then, and they will lose the face of the alchemy." ”
Xie Fan complained in his heart, he had never seen this person, nor had he offended him, it was strange to be so targeted.
But when the words came out, he couldn't help but answer, and replied lightly: "Seeing that Brother Zhao is confident, the younger brother wishes Brother Zhao a victory, overwhelms the heroes, and wins the first place." ”
At this time, Wang Dashao came over with his ears and whispered to Xie Fan: "This Zhao Pingtian's younger brother is also in my alchemy, if we don't participate in the selection, if we don't participate in the selection, one more place may be won by his younger brother." However, this person has cultivated to the second vein realm, and he does have two brushes. ”
Xie Fan suddenly realized, no wonder this Wang Dashao is so honest today, it seems that he has been bullied by this Zhao Pingtian in the past, so he doesn't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble.
As a few people walked to the front of the crowd, Xie Fan saw that Lan Yu, that is, Miss Lan Er, was standing behind an old man and looking at them. I think that group of people is the people of the City Lord's Mansion.
When Wang Dashao saw the old man, he dodged and didn't want to go over, but Miss Lan Er had already seen him, so she had no choice but to walk forward.
Xie Fan looked at Wang Dashao strangely, "Don't you dare to see the old man in front of the little devil?"
"That's my uncle, who reprimanded me from time to time, and when he saw him, his head was big. Wang Dashao stared at Miss Lan Er fiercely and replied to Xie Fan in a low voice.
Walking in front of the old man, Wang Dashao gave a rare serious salute and shouted, "Uncle." ”
The old man looked at Da Shao, his face was silent, and he just said lightly, "I went into the crater with your cousin, so as not to encounter any accidents and make people feel uneasy." ”
Wang Dashao replied resignedly, and immediately stood aside, not daring to say more.
At this time, Lan Yu looked at Xie Fan, and his smiling face bloomed like a flower, "Senior brother, I didn't see your shadow in the last selection." This time I have to show my real skills to my senior sister. ”
Xie Fan laughed, "Senior sister, how can I have any ability." "Why does this little blue devil identify himself?
Lan Qiao smiled and teased Xie Fan, "Others don't know, think I don't know? Do you still want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and make a blockbuster?"
Xie Fan turned his head to look at Wang Dashao.
This Wang Da Shao first glanced at Lan Yu with hatred, and said angrily: "Whose cousin would bury his cousin like this?"
Then he turned his head to Xie Fan and said, "This dead girl is a natural pill body, not long after she awakened, her soul power is extremely high. I was in the dark with her a few days ago. ”
"Dare to say that about your cousin, I'll clean you up when I go back. Lan Yu glared at Wang Dashao dissatisfiedly, "So you can't hide it from me, I'm curious which of us has higher soul power." The latter sentence was said to Xie Fan.
Xie Fan subconsciously rubbed his hands, damn, born with a Dan body!
While a few people were talking, the Blue City Lord spoke, and said with a full sense of anger: "There are signs of eruption in the volcano this year, and all the people who are picking must pay attention to safety and do not go too deep into the pit. Now that you can get inside, remember to be sure to get back to the outside of the pit within a month. ”
Hearing the voice of the Blue City Lord, Xie Fan suddenly felt that something was wrong, why only send people with low cultivation to go in and pick, if he sent some people with high cultivation, such as those in the realm of four veins and five veins, wouldn't he be able to pick more condensing flowers?
It didn't take long for several people to follow the large procession into the crater's entrance.
Not long after walking down, the two senior brothers, Zhang and Qian, first said to Xie Fan and Wang Dashao, "Junior brothers and sisters, since the city lord has ordered Senior Brother Wang to follow Senior Sister Lan and the people from the City Lord's Mansion, then the two of us should disperse with everyone." In this way, it is better to pick more concentrating flowers, so that our alchemy can earn more, what do you think?"
Xie Fan actually wished he could act alone, or his soul power would really not be able to exert himself. If the performance is ordinary, the high-quality contemplation flower will definitely not be obtained, and if the performance is too outstanding, it is easy to make people suspicious, so it is more convenient to act separately.
Therefore, after glancing at the two senior brothers, he pretended to be a little nervous and said, "Then I won't trouble the two senior brothers, just look for them in some positions above." ”
Zhang and Qian pretended to be concerned, "Senior brother must not go too deep, I will take the first step." After speaking, he didn't wait for Xie Fan to answer, and hurriedly left.
Lan Yu looked at Xie Fan with a smile, "Senior brother, then let's go too." ”
After taking two steps, he turned back and said solemnly: "Be cautious, this time the volcano is very unstable, and you must pay more attention to the surrounding movements." ”
Seeing Lan Yu's solemn instructions, Xie Fan felt a little warm in his heart, waved his hand to the few of them with a smile, and nodded yes.
After Xie Fan walked sideways for a while, he turned down, spreading out his soul power and feeling the location of the Concentration Flower.
This crater doesn't look big from the outside, but it is layered inside, and it is difficult for the dozen or so people who come in to meet each other, but it is very convenient to act.
