Chapter 67 The Appointment of Duel [Please read and collect]
"Qiang!"
The thunderous arrow hit the glove quickly, making a clanging sound. The burst of energy directly pushed Zong Yansheng back several feet, and inside his body Qi and blood surged.
If Li Yuan's cultivation level was at the same level as his, I'm afraid this arrow would directly injure him seriously.
Before he could recover, Li Yunqing raised his Qingxuan sword and slashed out a stream of green sword energy.
Zong Yansheng hurriedly flipped sideways to avoid the attack of the sword energy.
Now he faces Li Yuan and Li Yunqing alone, and has no chance of winning.
After landing, Zong Yansheng made a gesture to the old man who had just restrained his flame shield on the side of the square. The latter nodded, and he swept out of the square.
The old man jumped up and came to the center of the square. He nodded slightly towards Li Yuan and Li Yunqing, appreciating their performance.
"Tonight's last two-on-two challenge, Flame Rock Guard No. 5 faced off against Malan's two prides. Malan's two prides won." The old man announced the result loudly.
"Senior, I wonder if we can now get the voucher to purchase the materials for refining the true elixir in Yanyan City?"
Li Yuan asked after seeing the old man announcing the results without saying anything about the rewards for successful challenges.
"Of course." The old man nodded.
When everyone dispersed, the old man walked up to Li Yuan and said with a smile: "Two little friends, in addition to the certificates for refining the true elixir materials, the reward of 100,000 low-grade yuan stones, do you want the yuan stones directly or exchange them for cultivation?" Resources?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It would be best if we could directly exchange for the materials for refining the true elixir." "
Haha, this is not difficult. I won't give you the voucher. You can go directly to Yun in the city tomorrow. If you state your name to the Liuzhou Merchant Guild and purchase true elixir materials, you can directly deduct 100,000 low-grade Yuan Stones. If there are any leftover, you can ask them to directly give you Yuan Stones." The old man said with a smile.
"Thank you, senior." Li Yuan said to the old man, "The purpose of our trip has been achieved, so we won't disturb you at home." "Wait a minute." "Senior, is there
anything
else?"
"You two friends, prepare to go to Yanyan How long will you stay in Yancheng?" the old man asked.
"It depends on the situation. Is something wrong, senior?"
"Can you come to my house again in half a year?"
"Senior, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly." Li Yuan asked directly.
The old man smiled lightly and said, "I'll see you guys out of the mansion, and we'll chat while we're walking."
As they walked, the old man explained the reason why the city lord's mansion holds a two-on-two challenge every day.
Yanyan City can become the largest city within a radius of hundreds of miles, thanks to the abundance of materials for refining elixirs.
The market for alchemy materials in the city is developed, and some forces are coveting it.
The daily two-on-two challenge is actually a selection of helpers for the city lord's mansion.
The city lord is the only Yuan Dan realm expert in Yanyan City, but this year has reached a peak and his deterrent power has declined, causing many forces to be ready to take action.
Among the many forces, the City Lord's Mansion selected the most powerful one and made an agreement.
The two sides each sent a team to engage in a two-on-two duel to determine the market share distribution of alchemy materials in Yanyan City.
Yunliu Chamber of Commerce monopolizes 70% of the entire alchemy material market in Yanyan City, and the City Lord's Mansion owns 30%. However, the 30% of the City Lord's Mansion is actually only 20%, and the remaining 10% belongs to other large and small forces in the city.
The Yunliu Chamber of Commerce is one of the six major chambers of commerce in the capital of Daxia, and no one can challenge its status. Therefore, the 20% actually occupied by the City Lord's Mansion has become something that all parties are competing for.
The duel stipulated that if the city lord's palace loses, it must give up 10%. If it wins, the current situation will not change for ten years.
This duel also has some restrictions, that is, both sides can only send out younger generations.
Originally there were two good juniors in the City Lord's Mansion, but a few days ago, both of them were plotted outside and were injured. Although their lives were not in danger, they would definitely not be able to participate in this duel.
After discussing with the other party, they wanted to postpone the showdown. The other party would make a concession by not sending any of their direct descendants from the younger generation, and the showdown would also be held on time.
The opponent's candidates have been decided, and they are all at the peak of the late Yuanli realm. Even if there is no accident with the original candidates of the City Lord's Mansion, the possibility of winning is not high.
Although the City Lord's Mansion holds duels every day, there are no restrictions on the age of the Yuans. They are mainly looking for candidates to fulfill the duel agreement on their behalf.
If there are outstanding performers, they will communicate with each other to see if the age limit can be relaxed, so that even if they are older, they can still represent the city lord's palace.
The power that can cause headaches to the city lord's palace is naturally not simple. If the age limit is not relaxed, it will be difficult to find Yuan practitioners of comparable strength among the younger generation.
After understanding the matter clearly, Li Yuan and Li Yunqing did not agree immediately.
The old man did not force him. After all, with the current strength of the two of them, there was still some gap between them and the people sent by the other party. They were included in the candidate list of the city lord's palace.
...
Yunliu Chamber of Commerce, the largest alchemy material operator in the Great Xia Dynasty.
They can be found in places in the dynasty that are rich in alchemy materials.
It's still not bright yet, but the flow of people on a small side street in Yanyan City has far exceeded that of the main street. It's bustling and prosperous.
Nearly 70% of the mercenary groups entering the nearby mountains from the city will send alchemy materials here in exchange for primeval stones.
A pair of young men and women appeared in front of the majestic archway at the street entrance. Their clothes were somewhat different from the hurried figures coming and going in the street. They were Li Yuanhe who had come to buy the materials for refining the true elixir according to the instructions of the old man in the city lord's palace last night. Li Yunqing.
Looking up at the street entrance, the two of them saw the words "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce Yanyan City Branch" on the archway.
"You two were introduced by the city lord's palace to buy the true elixir materials, right?"
While they were still looking at the archway, a respectful voice suddenly came.
After hearing the sound, they saw a tall man in coarse linen clothes and about forty years old walking towards them with a smile on his face among the people in the small street.
"How do you know?" Li Yunqing was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.
"This place only deals with the purchase of alchemy materials. The two of you are not dressed like you are here to sell materials." The big man smiled.
Hearing this, Li Yunqing looked at her and Li Yuan, then looked at the people on the street, and seemed to understand a little more.
Li Yuan raised his hands to the big man and said: "We really want to buy the materials for refining the true elixir."
The big man pointed to the small street and said: "You two come with me."
He followed the big man and entered a room opposite to other places on this street. Well decorated room facing the street.
The door was closed, blocking out the noise on the street. The big man served tea to Li Yuan and Li Yunqing, and then said very respectfully: "Xu Wen is the person in charge of the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce branch in Yanyan City next week. The main business here is to purchase alchemy and make alchemy. The material business is all done with the mercenary groups that enter the mountains. Therefore, it is inevitable to be a little rude in dressing, which made the two of you laugh." "It doesn't
matter." Li Yuan waved his hand and responded politely.
