“Quietly, listen to me. This competition has brought together alchemy masters from all over the world. They carry with them their love and pursuit for the way of alchemy, and are about to start a fierce competition here to showcase their extraordinary skills and talents.

Tomorrow morning, let us witness the start of this peak showdown and experience the infinite charm of the world of elixirs together."

The third elder's passionate words made the atmosphere on the scene boil again.

Because of the previous publicity, many people came to Yanhe City just to see the top masters of the alchemy world compete against each other. How could they not be happy when they heard that the competition would finally start tomorrow?

Especially for those owners who set up gambling games, the previous bets were just small fry, and the event that will really make them a fortune is about to begin.

Only a powerful and controversial duel between respected teachers can make them earn more.

They put all their efforts into the next game.

Finally, the three elders announced the end of the event, and everyone left the central square one after another.

In the crowd, He Hongming stared with bloodshot eyes at Yan Feng, who was the center of attention, and the back of Fu Ling'er who had already walked away.

He had not forgotten the purpose of the Pavilion Master's instructions for him to come to Yanhe City to participate in the alchemy competition. Originally, the Pavilion Master had instructed him to create trouble for Fu Ling'er during the competition.

As a result, the Pavilion Master underestimated the other person's strength. He did not expect that the other person was the high and mighty master of alchemy. He could only stare blankly. There was nothing he could do. No matter how powerful he was, he could not reach the level of the master. The mission was considered a failure.

He thought that since the mission had been shelved, he could just participate in the competition with peace of mind. With his strength, he could win the first place and become famous, which would make his trip here worthwhile.

He was full of confidence and had everything planned out for him.

As a result, reality slapped him hard in the face again.

Looking at Yan Feng who was surrounded by the crowd, he wondered what the chances of success were if he attacked him at this moment?

No, if he is exposed, it will be difficult for him to escape, but he is unwilling to do nothing.

Then, He Hongming put away the gloom on his face, tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth, and adhering to his noble and cold personality, he slowly approached Yan Feng in the crowd.

He stood quietly behind the crowd, his eyes fixed on Yan Feng. He saw Yan Feng warmly greeting the people who came to congratulate him one by one, with a smug smile on his face. That smile seemed to have a kind of magic that could penetrate the crowd and pierce straight into He Hongming's heart.

He Hongming felt that his smile was extremely annoying, and he was so upset that he wanted to kill someone. The person he wanted to kill the most at this moment was Yan Feng.

The smile that was originally forced on the corners of his mouth suddenly became stiff, and he almost couldn't maintain this false mask.

He clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his palms, trying to use the pain in his palms to remind him that now was not a good time to take action. However, no matter how hard he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of hatred and jealousy in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

In the end, he still couldn't suppress the evil fire in his heart, because if he didn't vent it, he was afraid that he would have a knot in his heart in the future.

When the crowd had almost dispersed, He Hongming's heart lit up and he thought his opportunity had come. At the same time, he had a little powdery substance in his hand.

This medicine was originally used to deal with Fu Ling'er. Since Fu Ling'er can't use it properly, it's the same for Yan Feng. Imagine that the new star in the alchemy world who has attracted much attention has suddenly become an alchemy waste, falling from heaven to hell in one day. That kind of blow is a pain that cannot be described in words.

This powder was made by the poison master of Guisha Pavilion. It was a poison for the alchemists who could not concentrate when refining the elixir. He Hongming specially asked the poison master to make it before he came to Yanhe City.

Just a little bit of this powder can enter the body of the poisoned person without anyone noticing. The poisoned person is usually unaware of it. It will only take effect when mental power output is needed during alchemy.

It is very unfriendly to alchemists.

He Hongming took a few steps forward, waved his sleeves vigorously and saluted Yan Feng with his fists clasped.

Congratulations to Brother Yan Feng for winning the championship. I sincerely wish Brother Yan Feng a bright future and continued success. "

Little did he know that the powder in He Hongming's hand was blown by the wind as his clothes swung, and the fine powder in his hand floated towards Yan Feng.

"Thank you for your blessing, Brother He. My temporary mistake does not mean that I can't do it, so don't be discouraged, Brother He. I believe that in the near future, with your ability, you will definitely amaze the world again."

"No, no, Brother Yan Feng, you are too kind. I am..." The two of them were deliberately greeting each other.

In a corner of the square, Xuan Chen, Xiao Zi and Bai Yu were always paying attention to Zheng Jikun and He Hongming's every move.

Zheng Jikun did not do anything unusual for the time being, and just stood quietly beside the head of the Zhu family. Even when Fu Ling'er left the arena, he did not look away, as if he really did not know Fu Ling'er.

On the contrary, He Hongming's actions aroused the suspicion of the three people.

In fact, apart from placing bets these days, the three of them were secretly monitoring He Hongming and finding out if there were any people from the Guisha Pavilion lurking in the arena.

Perhaps Zheng Jikun was too cautious and cunning. He did not speak to He Hongming, and they did not even make eye contact. That is why they did not notice Zheng Jikun's presence in the first two days.

They knew that He Hongming was from the Ghost Demon Pavilion, so how could they not do something? So they just kept an eye on him these days.

But now, Zheng Jikun did not behave abnormally, but instead found He Hongming's actions suspicious.

"Brother Xuanchen, do you need to make such big movements when congratulating someone? It feels so fake. I can tell from the looks of it that he's not really congratulating them. Do you think he has some ulterior motive?" Xiao Zi imitated He Hongming's movements and gestured exaggeratedly.

Xuan Chen: "You are right. Generally speaking, people who are aloof and arrogant are very strict about their own behavior. They are meticulous and exact.

Their every move shows a unique temperament and style, as if there is an invisible force restraining them, so that they dare not easily cross the boundaries of morality and etiquette. Whether in public or alone, they will always maintain their reserve and pride, and will never do anything that is beneath their status.

And for someone like He Hongming, who already has the arrogance of an alchemist, his pride will only be even greater.

So what you said is right, this person definitely has a purpose to approach Yan Feng, and Yan Feng is from the Alchemy Guild. Tell Sister Ling later so that she can remind him to sell him out."

"Bai Yu, then you continue to monitor Zheng Jikun. Xiao Zi and I will go back and ask Sister Ling what her next plan is."

"Okay. Oh no, that person is leaving. I'll follow him first. You guys go back quickly," Bai Yu said and then quietly followed the Zhu family members who were leaving.
