People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

"Of course. This time I'm going to seize the championship position that countless alchemists covet, so naturally I need to dress more formally." Xiao Ling smiled slightly, gently rubbed Qinglin's head, and said softly.

"Hehe, if you, Xiao Ling, take action yourself, then winning the championship of this alchemy competition will naturally be a sure thing." Zi Yan laughed at the side.

After Zi Yan finished speaking, the girls looked at each other and smiled with ease. Obviously, they were confident in Xiao Ling's alchemy skills and believed that Xiao Ling would win the championship this time.

"Haha, okay, let's not waste time, let's set off immediately." After Xiao Ling greeted the three women, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly.

"The Alchemy Conference, which is held every thirty years, is finally about to begin. The moment that everyone is paying attention to is really exciting. I just hope that the process of this Alchemy Conference will not be too simple, otherwise it will be a bit boring..."

After saying that, Xiao Ling took the lead and walked out of the hall. Xun Er naturally took Xiao Ling's arm and walked side by side with Xiao Ling in an intimate manner.

Afterwards, Medusa and the others looked at each other, nodded slightly, and quickly followed.

When Xiao Ling and his group walked out of the courtyard, they unexpectedly met Ye Xinlan and Ye Zhong who had been waiting there for a long time. They exchanged brief and cordial greetings with each other, and then embarked on today's journey together...

As Xiao Ling and his party set off in high spirits, countless alchemists in Shengdan City were also in high spirits. They were full of their own aspirations, and their eyes were shining with expectation and desire.

They marched towards the venue of the alchemy conference with firm steps, adding a touch of magnificence to the upcoming grand alchemy conference...

……

The venue of the Dan Conference was located in the northern area of ​​the inner city of Shengdan City. That area had already been occupied by a terrifying sea of ​​people a few days ago.

Therefore, when Xiao Ling and others arrived here, all they could see was a sea of ​​densely packed human heads that seemed to have no end.

The deafening roar rose into the sky like a surging wave, and finally turned into a terrifying sound wave that spread out in all directions. It could be clearly heard within a radius of a hundred miles.

Xiao Ling and his group stood firmly on a building and looked around. Only then did they realize that this area was a huge square of nearly a thousand feet.

In the middle of the square, there were many stone platforms suspended in the air. These stone platforms were faintly glowing, and looked extremely mysterious. If you sensed them carefully, you could also sense some spatial power emanating from them.

Then, Xiao Ling withdrew his gaze and slowly scanned the dense crowd below.

It has to be said that Zhongzhou is indeed a place where heroes gather. In addition to familiar people such as Cao Ying and Song Qing, Xiao Ling also discovered many unfamiliar faces wearing the seventh-grade alchemist badge.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Xiao Ling's gaze suddenly fixed. He noticed several people whose figures were tightly covered by black robes.

Although those people tried their best to restrain their breath, Xiao Ling still keenly sensed the vague eerie aura.

Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, if I guessed correctly, these people should be from the Soul Palace...

However, Xiao Ling didn't care too much about it. He just paid some attention in his mind and quickly looked away.

Afterwards, he turned his attention elsewhere, his expression became calm again, and he continued to observe the various alchemists around him and the various arrangements at the alchemy conference.

As a veteran who has been training in the Alchemy Domain for many years, Ye Chong once participated in an Alchemy Conference when he was young and was familiar with the situation of the conference.

He pointed at the suspended stone slabs and explained in detail to Xiao Ling and his companions beside him:

"Master Xiao Ling, this is the exclusive seat for all the alchemists who have passed the first two rounds of assessment to compete in the final alchemy competition."

Ye Zhong paused for a moment, then pointed his finger into the distance, towards the dark grey space shrouded by a strange grey aura, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

"Over there is the illusionary land for the first round of assessment. Only alchemists above the fifth rank are qualified to enter this mysterious realm. The gray mist comes from a strange beast called the Phantom Soul Beast, which can induce hallucinations and suppress the spread of soul power. The illusion is very complicated and if you are not careful, explorers will lose their way."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. He had heard about the process and levels of the alchemy meeting beforehand. As for the illusion created by the first level, he found that it was somewhat similar to the illusionary dream spirit shadow he practiced.

However, compared to the profundity of the phantom dream, the structure of this illusion is somewhat superficial, and the effect is far inferior, and cannot be compared.

Ye Zhong said this, shaking his head slightly, with a relaxed smile on his face, and continued, "However, this first level is just to screen out those unqualified people who want to sneak into the Alchemy Conference. For a contestant like Master Xiao Ling who is capable of competing for the championship, these tests are nothing to be afraid of."

After a slight pause, Ye Zhong continued, "If you pass this first round of tests, you will be qualified to enter the Dan Realm..."

When talking about the Dan Realm, Ye Zhong's expression became obviously much more serious.

"Dan Realm?"

As Ye Zhong finished speaking, hearing this unfamiliar name, the faces of Zi Yan and the other two girls suddenly showed some confusion. However, Xiao Ling and Xun Er, who had known about this for a long time, looked normal and did not react much.

"When the Alchemy Contest begins, all contestants will step into a mysterious realm, which is the legendary Alchemy World." Ye Zhong nodded slowly, revealing a hint of awe in his tone.

"The Dan Realm is a peculiar world constructed by the power of space. According to legend, it was created by an ancient Dou Sheng in Danta. Although the Dan Realm has gradually declined over the years, it is still a holy place that countless alchemists yearn for."

“In that space, rare natural treasures are everywhere, and many medicinal herbs that are difficult to find in the outside world are also everywhere.

"The alchemists who are lucky enough to enter the Dan Realm will receive a list of various rare medicinal materials. Your task is to use your own strength to search for these medicinal materials in the Dan Realm and collect them one by one. Only after completing this task can you exchange it for a precious space stone at the exit, so that you can leave the Dan Realm and continue to participate in the final competition."

He paused, looked at the stone platform in the distance, and continued, "Those stone platforms suspended in the sky are not accessible to everyone. They are specially designed for those winners who have overcome numerous difficulties and finally reached the last level. Not everyone is qualified to step onto those stone platforms..."

After hearing Ye Zhong's explanation, the three women who were still a little confused suddenly understood a lot. They were all people who had seen some big scenes, and it was not the first time they had seen the special effects created by the methods of the Dou Sheng. The Star Realm of Xingyun Pavilion and Donglong Island were all like this, so they did not find it particularly novel.

However, Zi Yan's attention was unexpectedly attracted by the rare medicinal materials in the alchemy world that Ye Chong had boasted about before.

In the eyes of Miss Zi Yan, everything in the world is discarded. Only those rare medicinal herbs that can be used as medicine and as delicacies and Xiao Ling can interest her.

When she thought about the countless delicious and rare medicinal herbs hidden in the Dan World, Zi Yan's eyes sparkled and her heart was filled with anticipation. She was even a little impatient and wanted to immediately plunge into the Dan World to search for those coveted treasures.

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, since there are so many good things in this alchemy world, why don't you take me with you? Maybe there are good things that I have never tasted." Zi Yan waved Xiao Ling's other hand, raised her little face, and said to Xiao Ling expectantly.

Xiao Ling looked at Zi Yan's impatient expression, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the attraction of medicinal herbs to Zi Yan was still so terrifying.

He shook his head gently, a helpless look on his face, and said softly: "If you want to go, then find an opportunity and sneak into the Dan Realm when no one is paying attention. Anyway, with your ability, no one will be able to detect your whereabouts."

After saying that, Xiao Ling looked at Zi Yan with a bit of doting, as if he had no way to deal with her greedy and curious nature.

Now that Xiao Ling thought about it, there should be an eighth-level ancient dragon bear in the Dan world. That ancient dragon bear has been in the Dan world for many years, and the medicinal materials it has collected are probably too numerous to count.

There is some Taixu ancient dragon clan blood in the ancient dragon bear's body. With the royal blood of Taixu ancient dragon in Zi Yan's body, she can just take the ancient dragon bear as her younger brother. In this way, those medicinal herbs will naturally be easy to get.

"Hehe, that's great. After you, Xiao Ling, pass the first level, I will find a chance to sneak into the Dan Realm and reunite with you."

Zi Yan said this excitedly, her little face flushed with excitement, her eyes sparkling with bright light, as if she had already seen the scene of herself harvesting a lot of medicinal materials in the Dan world.

Seeing Zi Yan like this, several people looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths involuntarily rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Ye Chong, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment when he saw Xiao Ling and his companions so rashly decide to sneak into the Dan World, such a shocking thing. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

However, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Zi Yan used her spatial power on the spatial wormhole, and he couldn't help but have some understanding in his heart. With this lady's amazing mastery of space, perhaps, she could really sneak into the Dan Realm without anyone noticing and enter the Dan Realm as a non-contestant.

However, Ye Zhong still spoke up to remind him, “There are no rules or restrictions in the Alchemy World. It is reasonable to fight in it. In previous Alchemy Conferences, many alchemists lost their lives in the Alchemy World. Master Xiao Ling, please be careful and don’t be careless…”

"I heard some news earlier that the people from the Soul Palace will also have some plans for the Alchemy Association this time. Master Xiao Ling, your relationship with the Soul Palace has always been bad, so you have to be careful to avoid being ambushed by those villains..."

"Thank you, Elder Ye Zhong for the reminder. I will naturally know my limits." Xiao Ling nodded slightly. His tone was calm but revealed a sense of calmness and confidence. There was no trace of panic in his expression.

Although Xiao Ling did not know everything about the conspiracy of the Soul Palace, he had a premonition in his heart. With his current strength, the conspiracy of the Soul Palace was not too scary for him.

After the previous careful investigation, Xiao Ling already had a thorough understanding of the strength of those people. Compared with their current strength, those opponents were obviously not at the same level, and they did not pose a substantial threat to him.

Chapter 438: A Visitor from Yin Valley

Not to mention the people from the Soul Palace coming to cause trouble for Xiao Ling, even if those people from the Soul Palace didn't come to find him actively, once Xiao Ling met them, they would naturally show no mercy.

After all, the souls of those guys are rare "nutrients" for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. It would be a good thing to add a few more high-quality souls to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Why not do it?

When Xun'er heard the word "Soul Palace", the tranquility on her pretty face faded slightly. She frowned inadvertently, and a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes.

The protector sent by the Ancient Clan to Xun'er when she went out this time had clearly told her that undercurrents had already surged in Shengdan City at this moment, and the lackeys of the Soul Clan were lurking in it, obviously brewing some ulterior conspiracy.

However, Xun'er was very confident in her heart. She firmly believed that with her brother Xiao Ling's current strength, it would be easy to deal with those villains in the Soul Palace.

When she thought of this, her slightly wrinkled brows gradually relaxed, and her originally slightly worried expression also eased a lot. When she looked at Xiao Ling, her eyes were full of tenderness and dependence.

"Boom!"

A melodious bell sound, like an ancient call, abruptly broke the silence of the conversation between Xiao Ling and others.

The sound of the bell was clear and profound, spreading like ripples between heaven and earth. Even the originally deafening noise was slowly suppressed and gradually became silent.

As the bell rang, the surrounding noise gradually faded away, as if the mute button was pressed between heaven and earth.

Countless eyes turned to the east side of the square, where a stone platform as majestic as an ancient tower stood proudly.

On the stone platform, the top leaders of Danta will appear. Everyone's eyes are focused there, looking forward to the start of a feast.

Just as the lingering sound of the bell had not yet completely dissipated, a sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out, as if breaking the silence of the void.

Then, the space on the stone platform began to fluctuate gently, like ripples on the water, and a dozen figures slowly appeared, as if they were coming from another world.

Xiao Ling's eyes slowly swept across the sudden line of figures, and finally, his sight fixed on the three figures in the center.

These three people are not just anyone else, but the famous three giants of Danta.

The one in the center, with a head full of snow-white hair, has a sense of immortal charm in his flowing hair. He is none other than Xuan Kongzi, who had contact with Xiao Ling not long ago.

Standing on his left was an old man with a dark complexion, a serious face and an unsmiling expression. The light in his eyes was like lightning, so sharp that it seemed to be able to pierce through one's soul, making people dare not look directly at him.

On the right, there is a beautiful woman in a gorgeous cheongsam. Her aura is similar to Xuan Kongzi's, both are so ethereal and elusive.

Her face seemed to be forgotten by time, but she still maintained the appearance of a woman in her thirties, with charm still there, which made people unable to help but take a few more glances.

Xiao Ling was not unfamiliar with the identities of these two people. They were the other two of the three giants of Danta, Tian Lei Zi and Yao Chen's old lover, Xuan Yi.

The appearance of these three people seemed to take away the noise of the world, and the surroundings fell into an almost pious silence.

In this endless sea of ​​people, countless eyes were focused on these three figures like iron filings attracted by a magnet.

The three giants of Danta, this name is well-known in Zhongzhou, and even in the Douqi Continent, they are also a prestigious existence.

They usually only live in people's legends, but now they suddenly appear, making countless viewers feel an incredible shock...

"Haha," the white-haired Xuan Kongzi walked forward steadily. His voice was gentle and penetrating, ringing clearly in the ears of everyone present.

"I am Xuan Kongzi, and on behalf of Danta, I welcome all the alchemists who have come from afar. In the days to come, this place will become a stage for you to showcase your talents..."

The whole place was in silence. Even those who were usually unruly and ferocious had to restrain their arrogance at this moment and dared not offend in the slightest.

Because the three people on the stone platform, their status and strength almost touched the peak of this continent...

"You all have come from far away to gather here for the Alchemy Conference," Xuan Kongzi's voice was gentle and powerful, penetrating the silence, "I will not elaborate any more. Haha, this Alchemy Conference will still follow the previous tradition and be divided into three stages. The first stage, which bears the brunt, is..."

Xiao Ling listened quietly to Xuan Kongzi's introduction to the selection rules of the Alchemy Association, confirming in his mind that this information was roughly the same as what Ye Chong mentioned.

Obviously, such rules have long become the standard model passed down by successive alchemy associations.

"As long as you can pass these three rounds of selection, the one who holds on to the end will be the champion of this Alchemy Conference..."

After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, he looked at the crowd that was stirred up by the word "champion", and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The champion of this Alchemy Conference will not only be honored as a candidate for the Danta Giant, but will also receive a scroll of soul cultivation secrets from ancient times. With this secret, it will no longer be an unattainable hope to be promoted to an eighth-grade or even ninth-grade alchemist in the future..."

wow——

As Xuan Kongzi's words fell, a deafening roar suddenly broke out from the crowd that was as dense as ants.

The eyes of countless alchemists turned red at that moment, burning with a desire for power.
