The First Saint of Alchemy

The next day, early in the morning.

Tang Yan recovered from his training.

After arriving in Fangcheng, he devoted himself to training, and with the large amount of elixirs, his strength reached the peak of the third level of the Xuan level.

After washing up, Tang Yan came to the city lord's courtyard.

"Let's go, let's have dinner." Lin Xiao greeted with a smile.

"Is Liu Zhi not going today?" Tang Yan asked when he saw that only Lin Dongxue and Lin Xiao were in the courtyard.

Lin Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I already know about your encounter with Liu Jing in Cangyun Mountain. Liu Zhi has gone to where he should go."

Tang Yan's heart trembled when he heard this. Liu Zhi should go to see his second uncle!

"Thank you, Lord City Lord." Tang Yan bowed.

"The Liu family deserves the crime, so let's not talk about it." Lin Xiao waved his hand and smiled: "Let me tell you about today's competition."

Tang Yan nodded and listened to Lin Xiao's explanation of the rules while walking.

"Same as yesterday, draw lots for a duel. Since half of the people are gone, the top ten will be selected from the 20 in the morning, and the top five will be selected from the 10 in the afternoon. The final top five will be ranked the day after tomorrow." Lin Xiao briefly explained, and continued: "Today, there will be an unprecedented grand gambling game."

"Gambling?" Tang Yan became interested and asked with a smile: "What are you betting on?"

"Besides the four princes of the East Region, who will be in the top five? Everyone can choose a favorite player from the remaining 16 players to bet on, and the odds are one to one for everyone."

"Isn't this odds too hasty?" Tang Yan was surprised.

"The odds have been like this in previous years. Because Fangcheng is involved in the dealer, the credibility has been unprecedentedly improved, and many people will bet." Lin Xiao explained patiently.

"Are you ready to bet, Lord City Lord?" Tang Yan asked with a smile.

"You and Dongxue, I will bet 500,000 taels of silver. You must fight for your dignity and don't let me lose the silver I have saved over the years." Lin Xiao made a joke.

"Hmph, a few days ago, Tang Yan went to the Juesha Building, and we made a million taels. Why would we touch your savings?" Lin Dongxue exposed him bluntly.

Lin Xiao's old face turned red, and he pretended to be angry and said, "What do you know, kid! Dad saved the money he won last time, and this time he used his savings to bet."

Tang Yan smiled a little. Although the city lord was usually high and mighty, he was not majestic in front of Lin Dongxue.

The three of them came to the square, which was already crowded.

Tang Yan and Lin Dongxue found Yuncheng's seat and sat down.

Several city lords sat on the judges' platform.

"Ding——" A melodious bell sounded, and the surroundings gradually became quiet.

The Lord of Fangcheng stood up, his voice mixed with true energy, spreading in all directions: "Everyone, today is the second day of the East Region Competition. The duel rules are the same as yesterday. The contestants draw lots for the duel.

Before the competition, we have an entertainment activity, which is to guess who will enter the top five of this competition."

"The four young masters of the East Region do not participate in the betting. The odds of other contestants are one to one. The minimum bet is five taels of silver per bet, and there is no upper limit. The names of all contestants are on the big sign." As soon as Fang Wentian finished speaking, a big sign was erected.

It records the names of sixteen contestants, and behind each name, there is a word "bet", which currently shows "zero".

"As everyone places bets, the number of bets behind each contestant will be updated accordingly. The betting time is two quarters of an hour. Those who want to place bets, please go to the northwest side of the square to register. Contestants, please come forward to draw lots now."

After Fang Wentian finished speaking, the scene suddenly boiled.

"Miss Wan Fei is good. She defeated the opponent in two moves in the previous battle with the second-grade Xuanjie."

"Song Qing from Songcheng also has great potential. His strength has reached the third-grade Xuanjie."

"I am optimistic about Sun Long from Qingcheng."

"Lin Dongxue from Yuncheng is a dark horse."

"Yes, Lin Dongxue also has potential."

"..."

Almost everyone was discussing enthusiastically who has the potential to enter the top five.

When Tang Yan and others finished drawing lots, the betting area on the northwest side of the square was already crowded. Twenty registration points seemed to be completely unable to withstand everyone's enthusiasm.

"I bet on Sun Long from Qingcheng, thirty taels of silver!"

"Sun Long, fifty taels of silver."

"Song Qing from Songcheng, ten thousand taels of silver."

"Sun Long, one hundred taels of silver."

"Wan Fei from Fangcheng, twenty taels of silver."

"Lin Dongxue from Yuncheng, fifteen taels of silver."

"Song Qing, five hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"..."

As people placed bets, the number after the name on the wooden sign "bet" kept changing.

This big sign seems to be supported by a formation, and will automatically sort according to the total amount of bets.

Those who place heavy bets are basically families from various cities. They will support the best children in their cities. First, to establish a relationship, and second, there is a chance of winning money.

This is a hard time for Tang Yan.

No family in Yuncheng came to watch the game, and although Tang Yan won yesterday, the strength he showed was only the first grade of the Xuan level. No one believed that he could enter the top five, so there were few scattered tickets.

With 66 taels of silver, he is firmly in the first place, the last one.

Lin Dongxue showed the strength of the third grade of the Xuan level yesterday, and just half of the time was over, he received more than 3,000 taels of silver support. Although the ranking is still low, it is much better than Tang Yan.

As time goes by, the ranking is basically stable.

Sun Long, who is at the top of the sign, has been bet more than 48 million taels of silver, approaching 50 million taels!

Song Qing, who ranks second, also has 46 million taels of silver bet.

From the sixth place onwards, the bets were not so crazy. For example, Li Feng, who was ranked seventh, only bet 900,000 taels of silver, which was not even over one million.

"Hahaha, sixty-six taels of silver!" Someone couldn't help but laugh at Tang Yan's ranking.

The two-digit bet was even more conspicuous than Sun Long, who ranked first.

"Hehe..." Seeing this ranking, Tang Yan couldn't help but touch his nose: "The number is quite auspicious."

"Hahaha!" Lin Dongxue on the side couldn't help it anymore, tears were about to burst out of her eyes, and she took a long breath: "Tang Yan, you are also a leader!"

Looking at Lin Dongxue's bet, it has been reduced to 20,000. Although not much, it is really good to be born in Yuncheng and get so much support on his own.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Look at the ranking above. The top six are all potential opponents we felt yesterday. Qingcheng Sun Long, Songcheng Song Qing, Songcheng He Fengzheng, Fangcheng Wanfei, Fangcheng Ji Wang and Qingcheng Du Qiong."

Tang Yan said seriously: "These people are all in the third level of Xuan rank. It is not ruled out that they will hide their strength to the fourth level. Be careful when facing them."

"Yeah." Lin Dongxue nodded obediently.

"Haha, time is almost up, does anyone want to place a bet? What about the city lords? Don't you support the heroes in your respective cities?" Fang Wentian asked with a smile, but his eyes were looking at Lin Xiao.

Tang Yan's bet is only 66 taels, can you bear this?

Sure enough, after hearing Fang Wentian's words, Lin Xiao sat up straight.

But before he could place a bet, he was interrupted by a voice: "Tingxiang Country Miaodanfang, bet on Mr. Tang of Yuncheng, 10 million taels of silver!"

"What!"

Hearing this voice, everyone present was shocked.

The prefix of Miaodanfang is not named after Yuncheng, nor is it the East Region, but Tingxiang Country!

What virtue and ability does Tang Yan have to be bet on by Miaodanfang with such specifications?

When an old man in a Dan robe walked out of the crowd, Tang Yan recognized him at a glance, it was Ge Ming.

Before saying hello to Ge Ming, another full-bodied voice sounded:

"Tingxiang Zizhu City, bet on Mr. Tang of Yuncheng, 50 million taels!"
