"What time is it? I fell asleep. Why didn't you wake me up? Is your arm numb?" Fu Ling'er sat up and was about to massage Wanqi Yuan's right arm to relieve his fatigue.

"Ling'er is sleeping so soundly, I can't bear it. My arm is a little numb," Wanqi Yuan smiled dotingly and handed his arm to Fu Ling'er, asking her to massage it.

"Well, it's already this late, why haven't Lingyou and the others come back yet? Did they have too much fun? Did you tell them that we're staying at the Peony Garden of Yuelai Inn?"

"Yes, I passed the message to them earlier. It's been a long time now, so they should be back by now. See, if you speak of the devil, he will appear, isn't that right?"

As soon as Wanqi Yuan finished speaking, Fu Ling'er heard Xiao Zi's yelling voice coming from outside the courtyard gate.

"Sister Ling, Brother Yuan, look, what did I bring back for you?" Xiao Zi ran to the stone table excitedly, and with a wave of her hand, the table was filled with all kinds of food that Xiao Zi had bought.

There are all kinds of red and green snacks, black and white rice cakes decorated with red dates, fried fragrant ox-horn crisps, sesame rolls, preserved fruits, candied rolls, and so on.

"Sister Ling, Brother Yuan, come and eat! I brought this back especially for you."

"Oh, I'm tired of eating the same thing every time. Let's give it to Bai Yu and Xuan Chen. I'll ask them to come out to eat." Fu Ling'er notified Bai Yu and Xuan Chen, and the next moment, the two of them appeared beside the stone table.

"I know that Sister Ling treats me the best. She always thinks of me when she has something delicious." Bai Yu grabbed a piece of croissant and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mm, very fragrant, very crispy, very crunchy and delicious.

"You are the only one who can do this. Sister Ling hasn't forgotten me. Let me try this." Xuan Chen was not willing to be left behind, so he grabbed a piece of sugar-coated roll and put it into his mouth.

Well, it’s good, slightly sweet, leaves a lingering taste, and tastes good.

Fu Ling'er rolled her eyes and ignored the two of them, instead turning her gaze to Ling You and Zhuge Qiao who were approaching.

"Where did you go shopping? Why did you come back so late? What fun places are there in Youyun City? Tell us about it. We can go there tomorrow."

"Sister Ling, we haven't found any good places in Youyun City that are worth a special visit. However, I found out one thing that you must be interested in, Sister Ling?" Lingyou had a mysterious expression on her face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised and a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, yes, Sister Ling, let me tell you, you are definitely interested," Xiao Zi said quickly. He had just wanted to say it, but was interrupted by Sister Ling.

"Oh? What's the matter? Are you so sure that I will be interested?" Sister Ling raised her eyebrows, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

"Hey, stop keeping us in suspense. If you don't tell me, I'll tell you." Zhuge Qiao, who was standing by, saw Ling You pretending to be mysterious and whetting people's appetite, so he pushed him and glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"Hey, wife, don't ruin my show! I just wanted to give Sister Ling a surprise. If you can't wait to say it, there will be no surprise at all."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense, or I'll beat you up." Fu Ling'er's curiosity was piqued. Since one or two people said this, it must be something good, right?

"Sister Ling. We passed by the notice board of the City Lord's Mansion earlier, and someone from the City Lord's Mansion just came out and posted a notice. The notice said that in three months, Salt River City will hold the once-in-a-decade alchemy conference..."

"Alchemy conference? I'm not interested. It's not like I haven't participated in one before. Besides, if I win the competition, the reward is just some rare herbs and gold coins. I have everything I need." Fortunately, no one heard Fu Ling'er's Versailles speech, otherwise how many people would have been angry to death?

"Hey, Sister Ling, will you listen to me? The notice mentioned that this competition is different from the previous ones. In addition to organizing the competition, the organizer has also added an event, that is, the Pill King Competition. Any courageous alchemist can participate in this competition without restrictions. Moreover, if you win the competition, in addition to resource rewards, the organizer will also agree to a request from the Pill King. As long as it is within a reasonable range, any request is acceptable."

"Hmm? Alchemy King Competition? It seems to be more interesting than a simple alchemy competition. And the last condition is the most attractive. It's a good gimmick. Who is making such a big move?" Although it seems to be a simple requirement and a range of values, it has huge benefits for some people.

Just wait and see, in the end there will definitely be countless alchemists coming for this condition.

"Sister Ling, you have heard of this organizer. It is the famous Xuanyuan Palace."

"Xuanyuan Palace? No wonder it's so generous. It seems that this Xuanyuan Palace has a deep foundation."

"Ling'er, do you want to go to Salt River City?"

"Of course, I'm not going to the Dan King Contest. I'm going to Xuanyuan Palace. Didn't I hear that they are also incompatible with Guisha Pavilion? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It's a good opportunity for me to go and show my support."

"Ling'er, did you say you want to participate in the Dan King Contest? Or do you just want to watch the fun?"

“Let’s not talk about this for now, but I will definitely not miss this event.

Also, don't you think it's a bit unreasonable for Xuanyuan Hall to make such a big fuss? Xuanyuan Hall doesn't seem to be mainly engaged in the business of making elixirs, right?

But why would they spend so much money to organize the Dan King Competition this time? I wonder if there must be some purpose behind this? Or is this purpose related to the Ghost Demon Pavilion? As long as it is related to the Ghost Demon Pavilion, I will get involved. "

Lingyou took over the conversation and continued,

"Listening to what Sister Ling said, it really makes sense. Xuanyuan Palace's last request may seem simple, but it is actually a bomb for Xuanyuan Palace. How could such a smart Xuanyuan Palace let others hold its tail in their hands?"

"It seems that this trip to Yanhe City is inevitable. Well, since we don't have a specific destination anyway, it's not a bad idea to go to Yanhe City. Ling'er, shall we stay in Youyun City for two more days before setting off?" Wanqi Yuan finally made the decision.

"Okay, it's decided. Now that we've settled the matter, let's go to the banquet. I asked the waiter to prepare the banquet when I checked in. Now is the perfect time, let's go."

So, the group walked towards the private room in the front building of the inn. A sumptuous dinner had already been placed on the table, and the enthusiastic waiter invited the people to go in and have their meal.

It was not until the sun set and a ray of orange light from the sky shone through the window that everyone returned to the Peony Garden to rest with satisfaction.

Silent all night.

The next morning, when the sunlight shone into the room through the window, it woke up everyone who was sleeping.

After they finished washing up, they gathered together and prepared to start a new day of adventure. The seven of them walked out of the inn, bathed in the warm sunshine, and felt the fresh air and lively atmosphere. They decided to wander around Youyun City today to learn about the local customs and practices of this city.
