Chapter 282 Alchemist Banquet Conference

Early the next morning, Jiang Chen was woken up by the Hundred Poison Demon Lord and asked him to go to the city lord's mansion to attend the alchemist banquet held by Huang Yuantong. This banquet was nominally for the alchemists who came to participate in the Jingzhou Trade Fair. But in fact, everyone knew that Huang Yuantong wanted to select a high-level alchemist from it to refine ambergris blood-clearing pill for his daughter.

Jiang Chen finished washing up and then with the Hundred Poisons Demon Lord. As soon as he walked out of the door, he suddenly smelled a gust of fragrant wind, and then he heard a crisp and pleasant female voice: "Huh? Jiang Chen? Why did you come out with Hundred Poisons Senior?"

He looked up and saw that it was Zhou Ling who used blood-bone skeletons to show his favor to him at the auction yesterday, making him owe him a favor. The woman was wearing an emerald green silk skirt, which looked even more charming and charming under the golden sunlight.

Before Jiang Chen could answer, the Hundred Poison Demon Lord asked strangely: "Girl Ling, how did you know Jiang Chen? Logically, you probably have never met you!"

"We haven't met before, but we met at Tingxiang Xiaoxie last night!" Zhou Ling stared at Jiang Chen with pretty eyes and said, "Brother Jiang, how could you be with Senior Bai Poison?"

When Jiang Chen was considering how to answer, the Hundred Poison Demon Lord first relieved him: "Ling Girl, Jiang Chen is the descendant of an old friend of mine. He came to participate in the Jingzhou Fair and had no place to live for the time being, so he stayed here temporarily... By the way, are you here to find me today?"

"So that's it!" Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior Bai Poison, I originally came to you to tell you that I found a high-level alchemist. With his help, I might be able to cooperate with Master Shangguan to refine ambergris blood-clearing pills to wake up my beautiful sister. But now it seems that you have known each other long ago, and I'm such an unnecessary move! Now you are going out, probably planning to go to the city lord's mansion to attend the alchemist banquet selection?"

She couldn't help feeling a little sad at this time. She bought the blood bone skeleton and gave it to Jiang Chen. In order to ask Jiang Chen to participate in the selection of alchemists, she thought that Jiang Chen had the ability to refine the ambergris blood-clearing pill. But she didn't expect that this guy was going to participate, which made her lose the spirit stone.

However, she immediately realized that this favor investment did not lose. She used to think that Jiang Chen was a famous alchemist and a foundation-building disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect. But now she has a new discovery: Jiang Chen actually has a relationship with the Bai Poison Demon Lord, who is famous for using poison. If she has a good relationship with her, it will be like her relationship with the Bai Poison Demon Lord.

And I heard from the Hundred Poison Demon Lord that Jiang Chen is the descendant of one of his old friends. But these old poisons are all cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. Isn’t it said that Jiang Chen also has a Nascent Soul stage monk behind him?

Zhou Ling thought about this and looked at Jiang Chen even more impressedly. Although she knew that the Heavenly Demon Sect did not have a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could she know that Jiang Chen had not been favored by a certain Nascent Soul monster? He was accepted as his disciple or his descendant.

Although some hidden masters do not often go out to play, their descendants often walk everywhere. These people are also unfathomable and have no trajectory to find. Some are willing to wander around the world and become casual cultivators, while others want to join a certain force and make a name for themselves. Jiang Chen probably belongs to the latter.

Thinking of this, she also restrained her slight discomfort just now. Seeing that Jiang Chen and the Hundred Poison Demon Lord nodded, she still said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let's go to the city lord's mansion together! Uncle Huang and I have not seen each other for a long time."

The Hundred Poison Demon Lord had already prepared a very large luxury beast car at the entrance of the yard, and then the three of them got on the beast car and rushed towards the city lord's mansion.

At this time, the Hundred Poison Demon Lord answered Jiang Chen's confusion: It turned out that Zhou Ling was Huang Xiuli's best friend, and the two were like sisters. They had a very good relationship. After Huang Xiuli had an accident, Zhou Ling also gave up the identity of the granddaughter of the head of the Demon Sect and ran around, looking for spiritual medicines and rescue methods for him everywhere, which moved everyone from the wandering cultivator. Huang Yuantong even gave Zhou Ling a token of the leader, and saw Ling Ru meet the leader and allowed her to do things at Jiangling Mansion.

Jiang Chen then understood why Kang Lianzuo was so afraid of Zhou Ling during the auction. Even if the strength of the Demon Sect is stronger than that of the Random Cultivator Alliance, the strong dragon cannot beat the local snake. It turns out that there is such a relationship in the relationship.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, I heard that there are many alchemists invited to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the banquet this time, all of whom have a few brushes. Almost alchemists dare not go. It is said that they are all alchemists above the second level. I heard that if they can really help Leader Huang to refine the ambergris blood-clearing pills successfully, they will definitely receive a very generous reward. With the title of the Random Cultivation Alliance and the love of Leader Huang for my beautiful sister, they will not treat others unfairly. Brother Jiang, you have to seize the opportunity!" Zhou Ling reminded in a pleasant voice. She was quite clear about the inside story of this banquet.

Jiang Chen smiled. He didn't care how much Huang Yuantong's reward was. As long as he could refine the ambergris blood-clearing pill and let the Hundred Poison Demon Lord owed him a favor, it would be enough. You should know that it is very rare to make a Nascent Soul-stage cultivator owed him a foundation-building cultivator. Especially in terms of cultivation and martial arts, if he could give him some careful guidance, he would benefit greatly.

Not long after, the beast car parked at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The city lord's mansion was built in a very magnificent manner, and it was a very wide courtyard. The gate at the entrance of the courtyard is no smaller than the city gate, and the beast car can be driven directly into it.

After entering the gate, there was an extremely huge square. Now dozens of beast cars have been parked in the square, and there are some badges and marks on the body. It seems that they are owned by the alchemists attending the banquet.

After Jiang Chen and others got off the car, a middle-aged man wearing the badge of the Random Cultivator Alliance stepped forward, bowed with a smile and said, "Senior Bai Poisons, Fairy Zhou, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have finally arrived, please come here!"

After saying that, he leaned slightly and took a "please" posture. Then he walked in front to lead the way.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel secretly shocked, because from his outfit, this person seemed to be a housekeeper, but he actually had a mid-stage foundation building cultivation. It seemed that his status in the city lord's mansion was definitely not ordinary.

"Hey! How did you know me?" He asked curiously immediately. It was not surprising that the butler knew the Hundred Poison Demon Lord and Zhou Ling. After all, one was Huang Xiuli's master and the other was Huang Xiuli's best friend. I guess he had been here often before, but it was the first time he came here.

After hearing this, the butler smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is a high disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He is a second-level alchemist at a young age, which is very rare in the alchemy world. Moreover, the person who can make Fairy Zhou offend Kang Lianzuo and spend 230,000 spirit stones to make friends with, how could our leader not pay attention to it?"

Jiang Chen was stunned after hearing this, and then he realized that Jiangling City was the territory of the Random Cultivator Alliance. As the leader of the Random Cultivator Alliance, Huang Yuantong, didn't know how many eyes and ears were placed in various places in the city, but he was afraid that the monks in the city would know all the actions of the monks in the city. He knew everything. He must have had his people in the private trade fair last night. Otherwise, he would not have been so clear about the incident.

When Zhou Ling heard this, he spat lightly, blinked his beautiful big eyes and asked, "Butler Zhang, how many alchemists have you invited today? Has Master Shangguan arrived?"

"Master Shangguan lived in the city lord's mansion last night. Many colleagues who refined alchemy arrived early and were exchanging their experience in refining alchemy in the hall. You are already quite late!" The butler Zhang smiled slightly.

After a moment, he led the three of them to a quaint, spacious and bright hall.

At the entrance of the hall, there are many monks from the scattered cultivators wearing badges to serve as guards to maintain order. It seems that the guard is still quite strict.

After entering the hall, Jiang Chen found that the hall was very wide. There were rows of tables and chairs made of red sandalwood, and the middle was empty, forming an open space of more than a hundred feet in radius. It seemed that it was mostly a place for exercises or assessments.

Hundreds of people sat down here in the hall, nearly a hundred of whom were wearing alchemist clothes. Judging from their appearance, they were obviously quite old.

However, they all looked calm and did not think that this was the headquarters of the Dispersed Cultivator Alliance and were at all restrained. Instead, because they saw so many colleagues, they immediately discussed the issue of alchemy happily.

Although there are less than 100 alchemists attending the banquet, they all have relatives, friends, or alchemy boys, apprentices, guards and other figures, so the number of people in the hall has increased by several times.

Jiang Chen noticed that at the table not far from the entrance, someone was whispering: "Huang Yuan, the leader of the loose cultivator alliance, can only refine the 'Arbian Blood Clear Pill'? He actually needs so many alchemists? You know, he actually invited President Shangguan!"

"Although the ambergris blood-clearing pill is very complicated to refine, it requires more than one person to cooperate. But in fact, it does not require so many people, at most two to three people are enough. Leader Huang must have wanted to find the most suitable two people from these alchemists and cooperate with Master Shangguan. After all, time is tight, and he doesn't want to take care of the treatment of his beloved daughter. Anyway, I heard that those who were not selected will give you a gift, and we can't suffer a loss!" Another person obviously had some understanding of this situation and talked freely.

"Is there another selection?" After hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned a little tightly. Because he had already seen that most of the alchemists present had the Golden Elixir stage cultivation, and there were very few of them with the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. Although he didn't know their alchemist level, he was definitely at the bottom among these alchemists.

"Let's see the situation first! Anyway, you just do your best! I don't know how to refine the ambergris blood-clearing pill and how President Shangguan will select it. I will see how he arranges it then!" said the Hundred Poison Demon Lord. Obviously he was not very confident.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to nod, and then he found a table with Zhou Ling and her two junior brothers to sit down. They naturally sat with a group of foundation-building cultivators.

However, the Hundred Poison Demon Lord was invited by Butler Zhang to the top VIP seat, where the old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage were all invited.

Between them, there are the largest number of Jindan-stage monks.

The guards and servants who were physical refiners, as well as the alchemy apprentices in the Qi Refining Stage, had no seats at all, and could only stand behind their masters with their hands behind their backs. The entire hall seemed clear.

At the main seat of the hall, an old man in a black robe sat. The old man was thin, with white hair and a sad face.

Next to him were two old men who looked over fifties. One was thick-eyed and big-eyed, with a national-shaped face, and very majestic. The other was haggard and thin, but his small eyes were very sharp, giving people a feeling that it was not easy to mess with.

Jiang Chen tried to release his spiritual consciousness, but as soon as he touched the three people, he disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea. He suddenly felt a stern in his heart, and he withdrew his spiritual consciousness. He knew that the cultivation of these three people was far higher than that of him.

Zhou Ling whispered to Jiang Chen: "Brother Jiang, these are the three giants of the loose cultivator alliance. The middle is the leader Huang Yuantong, who has the middle stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. On both sides of him are the two deputy leaders, both with the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. The one on the left is Wang Zijun, and the one on the right is Kang Jianfei, the father of Kang Lianzuo who competed with us yesterday. This person is very scheming and ambitious. He has a very strong relationship with Wang Zijun, and his relationship is very stiff. It depends entirely on Huang Yuantong to mediate it. It seems that it is not good to manage a gang too loose."
