Chapter 460: Making things difficult everywhere

When Su Yan and Zuo Feng were talking, Amber did not speak. He didn't understand the Xuanwu Empire as well as Su Yan, who came from a high-ranking family in the empire, but he also knew everything Su Yan said.

The two of them didn't know that Zuo Feng was deep in thought, and his thoughts had already flown to the distant Ye Lin Empire. Zuo Feng still doesn't understand why he and the others from Zuojia Village are obviously members of the empire. Why are the two neighboring empires so different, and why his Ye Lin Empire has given up on him and others.

He shook his head slightly, cleared the thoughts from his mind, and said, "Why is it so troublesome to select medicine? From this small town all the way up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the end in just a few months."

Su Yan nodded and said: "Every aspect of the competition that takes place every three years attaches great importance to the drug selection, so the selection process is really troublesome. For example, if we compete like this now, because we don't have any aristocratic family or background as a guarantee, You can only start from the lowest level of competition.

If we were in the Kang family or our Su family at this moment, the situation would be completely different. We could directly participate in the main city level competition, and many tedious competitions in the middle could be ignored. "

Zuo Feng shook his head depressedly. Su Yan had already mentioned this before, but after signing up, Zuo Feng felt that the more troublesome the selection process was, the more detrimental it would be to him. In this unfamiliar Tushan Town, if the other party wants to deliberately make things difficult for me, I'm afraid that what will happen in the subsequent competitions may not happen.

"Actually, it's just a little more trouble. With Brother Shen's skills, it's not a problem at all to break through and reach the end of the competition. Even if those people are up to no good in private, they won't be able to trouble Brother Shen at all."

Amber, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but speak. Her confidence in Zuo Feng could be clearly heard from her words and tone.

With a slight movement in his heart, Zuo Feng turned to look at Suyan, and saw that Suyan also showed a confident expression on the other side. Zuo Feng thought about it for a moment and realized that these two guys must have taken the Jiedu Powder before. When he and Amber discussed alchemy skills more than ten days later, Amber praised him full of praise. Both of them had great confidence in themselves.

Sighing softly, Zuo Feng himself was not that optimistic, especially the mental fluctuations he had felt in the town before. This fluctuation made Zuo Feng feel that the other party's mental cultivation was not simple.

Although he possesses the telekinesis power that all medicine refiners dream of, the Xuanwu Empire's medicine refining techniques are so extensive and profound that Zuo Feng really doesn't dare to boast that he can defeat his opponent.

After a moment's hesitation, Zuo Feng turned to Su Yan and said, "You only talked about the general situation of the competition, but you didn't mention a word about how the competition will be played, the content of the competition, and the judging criteria."

After Zuo Feng's question was thrown out, Su Yan fell into silence immediately. After a long while, she said awkwardly: "Actually, I don't know much about refining medicine, and I have only visited the medicine selection competition a few times. It’s just a competition above the county level. I have never seen this kind of competition below the town level.”

"What!"

Zuo Feng opened his mouth in disbelief and pointed at Su Yan without closing his mouth for a long time. He never expected that this girl was full of confidence, but had no idea about the actual content of the competition and the judging criteria. This made Zuo Feng feel even more unsure.

Turning to look at Amber, he found that Amber was also looking at him with a helpless smile. Seeing Zuo Feng looking over, Hu Bo had no choice but to explain: "You also know how strict the Kang family is in managing medicine refining. Even if I was very interested in medicine refining before, I don't dare to practice it under the melons and plums. I am practicing medicine refining, so I don’t know much about the general medicine selection competition, I’m afraid I don’t know it as well as Miss Suyan.”

Zuo Feng had been huffing and puffing before, and was so scared that Su Yan didn't dare to say anything. Now seeing Amber explaining to him, he felt even more confident, pinched his hands on his waist, and said, "You see, this kind of city-wide competition It’s not surprising that we don’t know. With your level, are you afraid of being defeated by them? It’s in vain that Amber and the young master hold you in such high regard.”

Zuo Feng sighed and said slowly: "If you don't know clearly, don't talk nonsense. The difference in refining medicine is not a competition between two people. The level of combat effectiveness can only be determined after a fight. But refining medicine The level of skill is completely judged by refining the medicine. If the other party tampers with this aspect, the medicine I refine is obviously of good quality, but the other party insists that my refining failed, and I will be helpless at that time. "

Suyan and Hubo were originally full of confidence, but after Zuo Feng said these words, their faces suddenly fell.

Suyan hesitated for a moment, then said: "I once witnessed the medicine competition in Linshan County. At that time, they refined the medicine on the spot, and then three people from the empire selected it. Moreover, the Xuanwu Empire has a unique device for testing medicines. , through which the quality of the medicine can be judged.

There are so many ways to test the quality of drugs that I don’t think they could pull off any tricks even if they wanted to. "

Even though Suyan said this, it could be seen from her eyes that she didn't even have much confidence in herself. Zuo Feng was already a little depressed now, but now was not the time to argue with Su Yan. He looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Should we continue to spend the night on the boat tonight, or should we find a hotel in the town to stay? ?”

This was the second time Zuo Feng changed the subject. He found that no matter what he talked about with Su Yan, the other party would always make him half angry to death, so he might as well put the important issues aside. Being bare-faced would not help him at all, but would only cause trouble for him, so when he spoke this time, he looked at Amber instead.

I don't know if he is used to following orders, but Zuo Feng in Amber Room wanted to ask Su Yan and subconsciously wanted to see Su Yan's reaction, but Zuo Feng moved his body first, blocking the way between him and Su Yan.

Amber showed a trace of embarrassment, but still said: "We were on our way a few days ago, and we were also afraid of exposing our whereabouts, so we were very careful not to stay in any villages or towns along the way. Now we have arrived at Linshan County I believe the enemy won’t dare to run wild here, so we’d better go to the town to find a place to rest, so that Brother Shen Feng can recharge his batteries to deal with the competition.”

Without waiting for Su Yan to express his stance, Zuo Feng said loudly: "Then it's settled, let's go to Tushan Town to find a place to rest."

After saying that, Zuo Feng walked out of the woods first, and at the same time said hello to Amber to follow. Suyan stood there with her little mouth pouted and stared angrily at Zuo Feng. After a while, she stamped her feet on the ground, then she cursed "cheapskate" in a low voice and quickly followed the two people in front of her.

Su Yan also knew in her heart that although her original participation in the competition to select medicine was not smooth, she could suffer a small loss according to Zuo Feng's method but would not offend the two mayors. But she had a bad temper, and the three old men didn't take Zuo Feng seriously, which completely ignited her anger, which led to the situation where she made the bet later.

It could be said that Su Yan had caused this embarrassment all by herself. Now that Zuo Feng was clearly taking revenge on her, she had to swallow her breath.

When the three people returned to the town again, the sky had begun to gradually darken, and the food, fruits, etc. that had been placed all over the street had also been taken away. Although the street was still lively at this time, it was still much worse than when Zuo Feng and the others came before.

Zuo Feng was originally thinking about bringing Amber here to eat something, but now it seems that this wishful thinking has come to nothing.

The three of them walked towards the town. When they walked from the street to the end, they discovered an embarrassing problem. The only three inns in the town were all full, and not even one room could be vacant. No matter Zuo Feng tried his best or Su Yan offered generous terms, no inn was willing to accommodate the three of them.

With no other choice, the three of them had to find a restaurant first, let Amber have a full meal, and then left Tushan Town helplessly.

When leaving Tushan Town, the three of them were obviously in a very bad mood. Although Amber is a servant, he belongs to a wealthy family like the Kang family. He is bound to be respected by others wherever he goes. He has never been treated with such cowardice.

Not to mention the plain-faced young lady from a wealthy family, whose face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. Zuo Feng believed that if he did not stand out from the competition in the end, Su Yan would not easily let go of the two mayors of this town and the city lord named Lin.

All three of them knew clearly that someone must have arranged to deliberately make things difficult. Otherwise, in such a small town, even if it became extremely lively due to the medicine selection competition, there would never be a room available.

Moreover, when they went to the restaurant to eat later, they only ordered six ordinary dishes and three bowls of rice, but they were actually charged fifteen silver coins.

It's not that the three of them can't come up with the money, but they don't take it very seriously. But what Su Yan and Hu Hu felt was that their faces were damaged, and to them, having their faces hurt was more important than anything else.

Zuo Feng was also filled with anger now, not because of any loss of face, but because the other party clearly treated the three of him as rich enemies. Zuo Feng hates being treated like a fool by others, and this also shows that the other party has shown hostility.

Needless to say, tomorrow's competition will never go smoothly. Even if the opponent looks down on your alchemy skills, they will definitely use some despicable means to embarrass themselves. The piece of gold cake without makeup clearly attracted the attention of the two mayors. Seeing how greedy they were at the time, they would not let go of such a large sum of money easily.

However, Zuo Feng also secretly made up his mind that he must go all out for this competition. It will not be the end of the next round of Tushan City competition. He must enter the next round with the first place result.
