Chapter 335 Just In Time For The Pill Refining Conference
"Is your pill refining technique very advanced? Do you have a fourth-grade pill?" Li Guang asked persistently.
Lu Yu nodded.
"How could you refine a pill like the Golden Light Pill without reaching the fourth grade? This is used by cultivators in the Foundation Building stage," Lu Yu said proudly.
Of course, Lu Yu's pill refining skill was definitely higher than the fourth grade. If he really had to compare, he probably had the strength of nearly the sixth grade.
"Will you participate in the Pill Refining Competition? If you can defeat Liang Jinxin in the competition, my sister can marry you instead of that guy," Li Guang said excitedly.
Hearing that Lu Yu's pill refining rank exceeded the fourth grade, Li Guang was overjoyed.
Now it was Lu Yu's turn to be puzzled.
"Liang Jinxin? Didn't you just say he is the son of the Greedy Wolf Hall's master? His family background should be quite good, right? Why doesn't your sister like him?" Lu Yu asked.
"Forget it. If you see Liang Jinxin, you'll understand why my sister doesn't want to marry him," Li Guang replied.
After a brief pause, he suddenly asked, "Are you trying to get close to my sister because you heard she is beautiful?"
"You're thinking too much," Lu Yu replied.
Originally, Lu Yu wanted to say that he had wives. However, all of his wives were currently unconscious and taken away by Fairy Wanyue. Now he was alone. Strictly speaking, he really didn't have any women by his side.
"By the way, what is the Pill Refining Competition? I just arrived in Wansheng City and haven't heard of this competition," Lu Yu asked.
"You don't even know about the Pill Refining Competition?" Li Guang looked surprised.
In his opinion, the Pill Refining Competition in Wansheng City should be as important as the annual New Year's celebration. How could someone not know about it?
But then again, Lu Yu had never been to Wansheng City before, so maybe he really didn't know about this competition.
"The Pill Refining Competition is a grand event held in Wansheng City every four years for pill refiners. Top pill refiners from the entire Zhongxing Continent will gather in Wansheng City to compete, and the strongest pill refiner in Zhongxing Continent will be determined in the end," Li Guang explained.
When talking about the Pill Refining Competition, Li Guang's eyes were full of longing.
In this world, pill refiners were indeed a highly respected profession.
"I see. When will the Pill Refining Competition be held? Can I still sign up now?" Lu Yu asked.
"Lu Brother, you're just in time. Today is the last day for registration. Do you want to sign up? I can take you there," Li Guang said.
"Sure, take me there!" Lu Yu nodded.
Even if it was such a grand event, it would be good to participate with a learning attitude. If he could get some rewards, it would be even better.
With such a large-scale competition, the rewards shouldn't be too bad, right?
Lu Yu was very confident in his pill refining skills.
Li Guang was very familiar with Wansheng City.
He led Lu Yu out of the courtyard and after walking through several streets, they finally arrived at the registration point for the Pill Refining Competition.
Even though it was the last day, there were still quite a few people here.
Lu Yu took a look and saw that there were at least a dozen people in front of them.
There are people of all ages and genders, and their attire is also different.
On the way here, Lu Yu heard some information about the Pill Refining Competition from Li Guang, who is known as the "know-it-all".
The Pill Refining Competition is indeed a great place for many pill refiners to make a name for themselves.
The rewards for the Pill Refining Competition have been announced.
The first-place pill refiner can receive a set of the Ten Thousand Star Treasure Armor!
It is said that this armor is forged by a level seven forging master using extraterrestrial meteorite iron. Although it is very light, its defense is astonishing. Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator cannot break it with a single strike.
It is truly a life-saving weapon.
The second-place prize is a ninth-grade demonic beast's demonic pill.
This demonic pill can be used for pill refining or directly consumed by demonic cultivators to enhance their cultivation. It has many uses. Even if you don't need it, you can exchange it for a large amount of resources.
The third-place prize is an ancient pill recipe.
The content of the pill recipe is not mentioned, but it must be something extraordinary to be awarded as the third-place prize.
And only pill refiners can win prizes. The importance of pill recipes to pill refiners goes without saying.
After waiting in line for a while, Lu Yu successfully registered his name and received a jade token symbolizing the participants.
His number was written on it - 988.
"When the competition starts tomorrow, the token will display your competition time and opponent's information. We won't have to wait here all the time," Li Guang explained to Lu Yu as they walked back.
"988, that's not a small number."
After registering, as they turned around to leave, they heard cheers coming from not far away.
"What's happening over there?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be an underground fight. As you know, there are many pill refiners coming to the Ten Thousand Star City recently, and with so many pill refiners, there are bound to be some private competitions. So the Greedy Wolf Hall decided to organize an unofficial match."
"Unofficial match?"
"In an unofficial match, there are no restrictions, and the rules and rewards are agreed upon by both sides. Greedy Wolf Hall just acts as a witness. This kind of competition is more flexible, and many people use it for gambling. Are you interested in it, Brother Lu?"
Of course, Lu Yu was interested.
After listening to Li Guang's explanation, he understood why Greedy Wolf Hall went to such lengths and offered huge rewards to organize this Pill Refining Competition.
They would definitely lose money from the Pill Refining Competition itself, but if they included the unofficial matches, Greedy Wolf Hall would probably make a fortune.
Moreover, unofficial matches are flexible and have a certain element of gambling, so they should be able to attract many people.
"Let's go and take a look."
Lu Yu was very interested in the unofficial matches.
He and Li Guang approached the vicinity of the competition arena for the unofficial matches.
There were currently two pairs of contestants fighting in the arena, and one pair of contestants seemed to have already determined the winner and was preparing to leave the stage.
The other pair consisted of a man and a woman.
The man was dressed very extravagantly, clearly from a prominent family. The woman, on the other hand, was dressed much more shabbily, with many holes in her coarse clothes, revealing her fair body.
Both of them had an alchemy furnace in front of them, indicating that the competition was intense.
"Who is this arrogant girl? She dares to challenge Wan Gongzi from the Bai Zhen Hall. Doesn't she know that Wan Gongzi is already a fourth-grade pill refiner?"
"I haven't heard of her, but it's not surprising. Who wouldn't want to make a name for themselves by defeating Wan Gongzi? Even if she doesn't get a good ranking in the Pill Refining Competition, she will still become famous if she defeats him."
"I don't think so. I think this girl is here for money. Haven't you noticed that she bets twenty medium-grade spirit stones every time? That's not a small amount of money."
The crowd was discussing, and after listening for a while, Lu Yu finally understood the general situation.
This woman is a challenger, challenging Wan Gongzi from the Bai Zhen Hall. As for the bet, it is twenty medium-grade spirit stones.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of bet is already considered high-stakes gambling.
