Chapter 347: Play well, Master is counting on you!

At this moment, the square was full of people.

Among them, only less than one-tenth came to participate in the semi-finals, and the rest were all here to watch the competition. There were also many alchemists who were eliminated in the preliminary round.

"I thought the eliminated contestants left in a hurry because they were afraid of being embarrassed. Now it seems that this is not the case. There is another hidden story!"

Xu Feng looked at the scene in front of him and said thoughtfully.

Then, Master Lan took them to the high platform in the center of the square and came to a bare-headed mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Report to Master Dai, the preliminary competition of the sixty-four groups of the second-level group has ended. The people behind my nephew are the top ten. Please register them."

"Well, I know, wait on the side!"

Faced with Master Lan's report, Master Dai just nodded and asked them to step aside.

Xu Feng looked up and saw that the platform was very different from the last time he listened to the lecture on alchemy. All the original cushions had been removed, leaving only an empty platform.

After a while, the top ten of other groups arrived here one after another under the leadership of Jindan Zhenren, and the platform gradually became lively.

Seeing this situation, Dai Zhenjun, who had been sitting there without saying anything, suddenly stood up, pressed his hands down, made a gesture of silence, and then said loudly:

"Be quiet and listen to me.

According to the order of arrival just now, you will come forward in turn and line up in front of me to be interrogated."

At the command, Xu Feng and others quickly lined up in a line at the signal of Lan Zhenren and walked forward respectfully.

Originally, according to the previous ranking, Xu Feng should have been the first, but out of caution, he deliberately slowed down and gave the front row position to others, and ranked fifth himself.

After everyone stood still, Master Dai's mind moved, and a round stone-shaped spiritual object with a gray glow appeared out of thin air.

"This object is called the 'Heart-Searching Stone', which is the sect's magic weapon, ranked fifth-grade, and is specially used to check for spies who may have sneaked into the sect. You will put your hands on it one by one later, and I will ask some questions about alchemy.

I must say the ugly words in advance. If someone conceals his alchemy grade and participates in the competition as a third-grade alchemist, then I advise him to stand up and admit it now.

Otherwise, if he is asked by the 'Heart-Searching Stone', his fate will be extremely tragic. I will give you three breaths of time to consider."

After three breaths, no one responded. Seeing this, Master Dai did not waste words and directly signaled the cultivator in the front to come forward.

The second-grade upper-grade alchemist slowly stretched out his trembling hand and put it on the round stone.

It can be seen that he was a little nervous. In fact, not only him, but also Xu Feng and others who were behind him were a little nervous, because what they were facing was something they had never experienced before.

When the palm and the round stone were in contact, the gray light on the round stone whizzed into the sea of ​​consciousness of the second-level upper-grade alchemist, and then his eyes began to become dull, as if he was hypnotized.

"Let me ask you, what is your name?"

"Yang Cong."

"How old are you?"

"One hundred and eighty-nine."

"Where are you from?"

"Tianling Continent, Lu State, Yongzhou."

"Alchemy level?"

"Second-level upper-grade."

"Cultivation?"

"Ninth level of foundation building."

"Do you have any dealings with the Demon Cult?"

"No."

...

After asking and answering more than ten questions quickly, Master Dai nodded, and a magic power was cast, and Yang Cong's palm and the round stone separated. At this moment, he was a little confused, as if he was unaware of what had just happened.

"This is your rematch token. Keep it safe and don't lose it. Step aside and wait."

"Yes, senior."

"Next."

The first person walked away, and the second one stepped forward to continue the interrogation.

Xu Feng's heart was completely at peace at this moment. Judging from the situation just now, the questions asked by Master Dai were not out of the ordinary and would not involve his biggest secret.

Soon, the person standing in front of the 'heart-searching stone' became Xu Feng. He followed suit and put his hand directly on the round stone.

When the gray light entered his sea of ​​consciousness, Xu Feng's eyes were just sluggish for a moment, and the next moment he recovered and felt extremely sober.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, his performance at this moment was no different from the previous four people. Even Master Dai, who was standing close to him, did not notice anything unusual.

What Xu Feng didn't know was that the system in his body was constantly emitting strange energy at this moment, resisting the gray light invading the sea of ​​consciousness, trying not to affect him.

"Name?"

"Xu Feng."

"Age."

"Sixty-two."

"..."

After asking the routine questions, Xu Feng's hand left the 'Stone of Heart', thinking that he would also get the rematch token.

But what was unexpected was that Dai Zhenjun stared at him for a few breaths, and then asked an irrelevant question.

"Is your master called Lu Li?"

"Yes, senior."

"Well, I heard him mention you, saying that you have an excellent talent for alchemy. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that what he said is true!"

"May I ask who your master is?"

"Lu Li's master."

Oh my god, this is meeting the master's master. Just when he wanted to pay homage, Dai Zhenjun stopped him.

"There is no need for these empty formalities. Just play well. Master is optimistic about you!"

After a few breaths, Xu Feng got his own rematch token. This token was much more simple and elegant than the previous one. According to his estimation, the material used to make it was at least second-grade top-grade.

In the center of the front of the token, the three characters "Jidan Sect" were engraved, and all around were various spiritual medicine patterns. There were only two simple numbers "sixty-four, one" on the back.

He didn't need anyone to explain this number to him. He also understood what it meant. It represented that he was the first in the sixty groups of preliminary competitions, but he didn't quite understand why the first place in the preliminary competition was engraved. Could there be a mystery in it?

After all ten people in their group got the token, Master Lan took them down the platform and said goodbye.

"There is still some time before the competition officially starts. I have something else to do. I won't stay with you any longer. Goodbye."

"Farewell Master!"

After bowing to the back that had disappeared in front of them, Xu Feng and others looked at each other and then left.

The group didn't know each other before, they just happened to be assigned to the same group for the competition. It can be said that they had no friendship at all, and there was nothing to talk about when they were together, so it was better to disperse.

Xu Feng began to look for the whereabouts of other disciples of Jiugong Sect in the square. According to his estimation, at least three of the dozen alchemists brought by Jiugong Sect this time would enter the semi-finals.

However, it was quite difficult to find a few people in such a large crowd. After a full circle, he got nothing in the end.

Just when he was about to give up, a voice suddenly sounded in front of his left.
