Over a hundred people walked in from outside, all of whom had extraordinary auras and were from the Feng family's direct lineage.
The leader was none other than Feng Lie, the Feng family's ancestor, dressed in a hemp robe with white hair.
Feng Baozhao and other high-ranking members of the Feng family followed behind him.
Although Feng Mingyan had made a grave mistake the previous day, it was an internal matter for the Feng family. If they restricted him from attending today's event, it would raise suspicions.
So, Feng Mingyan still attended the event at the Wind Bell Square.
Among the group, aside from the Feng family's high-ranking members, there were around 40-50 people with extraordinary auras following them.
These people were of varying ages, and their expressions seemed somewhat arrogant.
Their faces were unfamiliar to most people in Yunmeng City.
It seemed that these were the alchemists invited by the Feng family's young masters.
As the Feng family arrived, the entire Wind Bell Square fell silent.
Everyone's gaze then fell upon the group of alchemists.
Their expressions were filled with curiosity.
"I said that this time, the Feng family's alchemist conference would definitely attract new talents from Qingzhou's land."
"Look, there's a young man in blue beside Feng Mingyan. If I'm not mistaken, he should be Liu Ming, the chief alchemist of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion!"
"He's said to be under 30 years old and has already reached the level of a third-grade alchemist. He even registered successfully at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion a year ago!"
"I wonder if he's broken through to the fourth grade during this time. If so, he would be a rare talent in all of Qingzhou!"
"Hehe, with Liu Ming here, only a few from the Alchemist Association might be able to surpass him…"
"I wonder if we'll be lucky enough to see the new talents of Qingzhou's alchemist world today."

"…"
The identities of these alchemists were naturally recognized by the crowd at the Wind Bell Square.
Alchemists were a prestigious and rare profession in the cultivation world.
Each alchemist who reached the second grade or had immense potential would become an object of admiration for many.
After being recognized, the female cultivators on the square couldn't help but send secret glances at Liu Ming, their eyes filled with admiration.
Liu Ming was a legendary figure in Yunmeng City.
"And the one next to Miss Feng Qiuyue seems to be Master Longgu. He is said to be a senior third-grade alchemist, right?"
"I didn't expect him to be invited this time as well. It seems that Master Longgu also registered at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion back then."
"And there's third-grade alchemist Master Ye Wuyou…"
"Master Zhao Linxian is also here…"
"…"
Each of the people following the Feng family was recognized one by one.
Among them, there were over ten third-grade alchemists.
As for today's alchemist conference, the cultivators had initially thought it would be an ordinary event.
However, they didn't expect that the alchemists brought by the Feng family would be of such high caliber.
They knew that other powers in Yunmeng City would also send some alchemists to join in the fun, as the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, led by the Feng family, was one of the four major powers in the city.
At least, without concrete evidence of the Spirit Sound Inn incident, even Spirit Sound Valley wouldn't dare to openly confront the Feng family.

Other powers, although unable to register alchemists, still had many alchemists who would choose to join them.
For example, Su Jingzhen, although registered as an alchemist at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, was actually a member of the Evil Moon Sect.
This didn't conflict with anything.
Even many alchemists registered with the Alchemist Association, but didn't directly join the association, could choose to join other powers without any restrictions.
Moreover, the crowd was mainly looking forward to the Alchemist Association's arrival, knowing that this alchemist conference would be a fierce battle.
Third-grade alchemists in Qingzhou's land were not many, and were scattered among the major powers and cities, so the gathering of these third-grade alchemists would indeed be a feast for the eyes.
Under Feng Lie's leadership, the Feng family quickly took their positions.
The central area of the square had over 300 alchemy platforms, and the Feng family's position was closest to these platforms.
The surrounding areas were left empty, reserved for the other major powers of Yunmeng City.
After the Feng family arrived, neither Feng Lie nor Feng Baozhao said much, as if waiting for the other powers to arrive.
The cultivators were carefree, and there was no specific time or fixed number of alchemists required for this conference.
After all, when the news of the alchemist conference was first announced, it was stated that any alchemist who had confidence in themselves could participate and showcase their skills.
The first and second rounds were free-for-all, and the alchemists prepared their own materials, so the Feng family wouldn't lose anything.
After the Feng family took their seats, other powers and families began to arrive.
"The Flowing Wind Sword Sect has arrived, and they've even brought nearly ten alchemists! I didn't expect Master Lin Ye to have joined the Flowing Wind Sword Sect, no wonder we haven't heard much about him in recent years."
Soon, a group of cultivators with swords on their backs, exuding a powerful aura, took their seats beside the Feng family.
Although cultivators all had storage spirit tools, the disciples of the Flowing Wind Sword Sect still habitually wore their swords on their backs.
This was their symbol.
However, this aspect of theirs was often imitated by many wandering cultivators, and the Flowing Wind Sword Sect's disciples were the most frequently impersonated.
It was also often said that the Flowing Wind Sword Sect was so powerful that they could sit at home and wait for opportunities to come to them from the sky.
The Flowing Wind Sword Sect didn't take long to arrive, and suddenly, the entire square was filled with a bright and lively atmosphere.
Thirty or forty beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, suddenly appeared on the Wind Bell Square.
Lingxiu Pavilion, one of the four major powers in Yunmeng City, had arrived!
Originally, the people from Lingxiu Pavilion should have been the absolute focus of attention.
But at this time, Spirit Sound Valley, which had entered the scene almost simultaneously with Lingxiu Pavilion, was causing a stir among the crowd!
Everyone's gaze quickly gathered around them.
Because Spirit Sound Valley had only brought eleven people, and not a single one of them was an alchemist!
The leader, a middle-aged man with a refined and elegant aura, wore white clothes and carried a bamboo flute at his waist.
His breath didn't have much concealment.
He was a Nascent Soul cultivator!
The ten people behind him were all powerful Golden Core cultivators.
"That's… Spirit Sound Valley's current valley master, Sikong Tingyun!"
"It's said that his cultivation is already close to reaching the late Nascent Soul stage."
"The ten people behind him seem to be Spirit Sound Valley's ten Golden Core protectors!"
"They've come to participate in the alchemist conference, but didn't bring a single alchemist. What is Spirit Sound Valley planning to do?"
"Ah!"
"Could it be that they're here because of the Spirit Sound Inn explosion last night?
"This is interesting. Is Spirit Sound Valley going to cause trouble at the Feng family's alchemist conference?"
"…"At this moment, with the arrival of the eleven people from Spirit Sound Valley the entire scene fell silent once again.
Everyone was expecting Spirit Sound Valley's master to do something or directly challenge the Feng Family.
After all, those who came to watch the excitement would never think it was too much.
"The fact that the Spirit Sound Valley's master brought these ten Golden Core protectors here already explains the situation."
"Could it be that today's Alchemy Conference is going to be ruined?"
"Grandma Yinhua from Spirit Sound Valley arrived last night, and the valley master has also arrived today."
"It's said that there are two other Nascent Soul old monsters who are still dealing with the aftermath of the Spirit Sound Inn explosion."
"If a fight breaks out, Yunmeng City will likely be in chaos today."
"..."
Many good people hiding in the crowd had their internal energy surging instantly.
They were very clear that if Spirit Sound Valley's master really attacked the Feng Family, many people wouldn't mind taking advantage of the situation.
Seeing this array, Feng Mingyan's heart was extremely tense, and his eyes even showed a hint of panic.
Feng Lie, on the other hand, had a calm expression, but his heart was also on high alert.
If Spirit Sound Valley really had evidence or obtained the corpses of Feng Tianxing and the others, then the Feng Family would admit defeat, but they wouldn't be afraid of a fight.
If there was no evidence, Spirit Sound Valley dared to take action against the Feng Family, which would be equivalent to provoking the entire Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
He wasn't afraid at all.
However, what surprised everyone was that Sikong Tingyun only brought the ten Golden Core protectors and walked to Spirit Sound Valley's position, sitting down calmly.
Throughout the process, Sikong Tingyun remained extremely calm, even maintaining a gentle smile.

"Ah? Is Sikong Tingyun waiting for an opportunity?"
"Or is he just here to observe?"
Spirit Sound Valley's actions at this time were quite puzzling.
After Spirit Sound Valley arrived, the various major families in Yunmeng City, such as the Hong family, Gao family, Lin family, and the Qingzhou forces responsible for the surrounding areas, all arrived one after another.
However, when the representatives of these families arrived, they looked at the Feng Family with undisguised hatred in their eyes.
These were mostly the forces that had suffered casualties in the unexpected incident yesterday.
Not only did the sect families have the qualifications to sit in the front row, but some special individuals also sat in the prestigious positions around the alchemy platform.
For example, Bai Susu, who had a cold expression and a tall figure, brought only one old servant and sat in the most prominent position.
Next to her, a young man in black robes with a handsome face, accompanied by an old servant, also sat down in the front row.
The arrival of this young man in black robes, however, made the entire Feng Family's high-level members, including Feng Lie, change their expressions.
The atmosphere instantly became complex.
"Tuoba Junlin! He's also here? Could it be that he's here for Feng Qingya?"
"Tsk, I really thought this Alchemy Conference was just a small affair for the Feng Family."
"But it's turned into a grand event in Yunmeng City, with heavyweight figures arriving one after another!"
"Tuoba Junlin, the young master of the Tuoba family, has arrived. The pressure on the Feng Family is increasing…"
"..."
The ordinary onlookers might not recognize the young man in black, but the leaders of the various forces present couldn't help but show interest.
Ads by Pubfuture
Tuoba Junlin, the young master of the Tuoba family of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion!
The Tuoba family, responsible for Qingzhou Holy City, was actually stronger than the Feng Family.
Bai Susu raised an eyebrow upon seeing Tuoba Junlin's arrival.
"Are you here for Qingya? Unfortunately, she might not appear today."
Bai Susu's tone was extremely calm, regardless of who she was speaking to.
Tuoba Junlin chuckled lightly: "Not entirely. If I can see her, that's the best. If not, observing a high-quality Alchemy Conference is also fine."
Tuoba Junlin's tone was warm, with a natural charm that made people want to get close to him.
"Hehe… I'm a bit curious, if she really can resist the Feng Family this time, what would your attitude be?"
Upon hearing Bai Susu's words, Tuoba Junlin was taken aback, then smiled again.
"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you."
…
As Bai Susu and Tuoba Junlin chatted, a loud and clear laughter suddenly echoed across the Wind Bell Square.
"I heard there's an Alchemy Conference here, which is an important event for Qingzhou's alchemists? My Alchemist Association also wants to join in the fun. I wonder if the host welcomes us?"
As soon as this voice was heard, the entire Wind Bell Square fell silent.
The countless onlookers, whether on the ground or in the air, all changed their expressions.
The expected arrival had finally come.
After the voice fell, a group of people dressed in luxurious attire suddenly walked in from the sidelines.
We're Tired Of These Ugly Things! Why Do They Exist?
Hilarious Yet Terrifying Animal Encounters You Must Avoid!
There weren't many of them, only around twenty or so.
Most of them were young people.
They all wore similar attire, with the young people wearing white robes and a black badge with a furnace emblem on their chests, representing their identity as Alchemist Association's direct alchemists.
In Qingzhou, some people only registered as alchemists with the Alchemist Association, while others directly joined the organization.
These people belonged to the latter group.
By directly joining, they lost some freedom, but they could receive the Alchemist Association's abundant resources and training.
A force formed by gathering alchemists, naturally, would surpass other forces in terms of alchemy level.
Treasure Gathering Pavilion had also gathered many alchemists over the years, but it seemed to still have a gap with them in terms of foundation.
This was an undeniable fact.
So, when they saw the Alchemist Association people arrive, the Feng Family members' expressions were solemn, but Feng Lie had to stand up to welcome them.
"Haha, Vice President, it's an honor to have you here! We apologize for not welcoming you properly earlier."
"This Alchemy Conference is a bold undertaking by our Feng Family, and we're grateful to have friends from the Alchemist Association joining us. It's a great honor to have you here!"
Feng Lie's words caused the expressions of the people present to change again.
Their gazes couldn't help but fall on the leader of the group.
The Alchemist Association people wore white robes, while the older generation wore gray robes.
The leader was a short, stout man!
The alchemist attire looked a bit comical on him.
But at this moment, no one dared to mock him openly.
After all, his identity was the Vice President of the Alchemist Association.
The President of the Alchemist Association was rarely seen, and wouldn't manage the guild's affairs, so the stout man in front of them was essentially the guild's leader.
His alchemist rank had once reached the fifth grade, and he was also a Nascent Soul cultivator!
This person could be considered one of the most prestigious individuals in Qingzhobest seats at the Alchemist's Platform were still not fully occupied.
The group from the Alchemist Association sat down in this area.
As the host of this Alchemist Gathering, the Feng family naturally took charge of all the arrangements, and they wouldn't let others steal the show.
"Haha, my previous guess was correct. This Alchemist Gathering is indeed a battle of dragons and tigers!"
"Have you seen those young people standing beside the Vice President of the Alchemist Association?
"They seem to be the new generation of Alchemist Association's rising stars!"
"They are also the new talents in the pill-making world. They are here to make a name for themselves."
"One of them is named Bai Xiu, and his reputation is even greater than Liu Ming's!"
Many onlookers' gazes gathered on a young man sitting beside the Vice President.
This young man had a slender figure, a handsome face, and hair that was half white, giving him an otherworldly aura.
His face was calm, his eyes indifferent, as if he wasn't very interested in this Alchemist Gathering.
At this time, Liu Ming, who was standing beside Feng Mingyan, had an extremely serious expression.
Before the Alchemist Association's people arrived, he had been very calm and confident.
"Don't worry, Liu Ming, you don't need to feel pressured. Although the Alchemist Association's people are quite skilled, I still have more faith in you."
Feng Mingyan comforted him in a timely manner.
Liu Ming nodded silently: "This person is a strong opponent. Even if I have confidence in defeating him, it's unlikely I can stop him from entering the top three."
He paused, then continued, "Besides me, the other alchemists brought by the Feng family probably don't have the ability to compete for the top three."
His words were extremely arrogant, showing his unparalleled self-confidence.
Of course, they were also filled with affirmation towards the Alchemist Association.

When Feng Mingyan heard this, he nodded.
His thoughts had already turned to other things.
His gaze swept across the Wind Bell Square, searching for something.
He still hadn't seen Feng Qingya and the others arrive, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.
Although last night's events might still have some unexpected changes, it was hard to say for now.
But as long as Feng Qingya's alchemists couldn't participate in the Alchemist Gathering, it would be considered a success.
However, just as Feng Mingyan was thinking this, a sudden, intense gust of wind sounded across the Wind Bell Square.
Everyone present was shocked.
Even the hosts of this gathering, the Feng family, or Tuoba Junlin and the Alchemist Association's people, had never made such a grand entrance.
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and then they couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment.
"Didn't they say that the two alchemists brought by Miss Feng disappeared last night?"
"And now she's actually here."
"I was wondering who's so bold, and it turns out to be her. That's no problem."
"..."
The murmurs of discussion suddenly erupted.
The arrivals were none other than Mu Lao and Feng Qingya.
The two of them rode on flying swords, their sword lights flashing as they directly appeared in front of the Feng family's people.
However, the Feng family's area was already full, and there was no seat left for her.
Ads by Pubfuture
Seeing Feng Qingya's exquisite face, Feng Lie's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to say something, but ultimately let out a sigh.
After last night's events, he had already begun to doubt his previous decision.
Looking at Feng Qingya, compared to Feng Mingyan, the gap between them seemed too obvious.
And when he caught a glimpse of Tuoba Junlin, who was sitting not far away, looking over, his heart firmed up again.
"I thought the Feng family would at least leave a seat for me."
"I guess I was too optimistic."
Feng Qingya glanced at Feng Lie and the others with a hint of a smile on her lips.
At this time, it was impossible to discern her emotions.
Seeing Feng Qingya like this, Feng Mingyan instinctively wanted to mock her.
However, since Feng Lie and Feng Baozhao didn't say anything, he wisely kept quiet.
At this time, Feng Lie finally spoke up, his tone complex: "Since you're here, find a seat yourself."
"You're also a part of the Feng family, and this gathering is hosted by the Feng family, so you should understand and not need special treatment."
When he said this, the ancestor's tone was laced with a hint of dignity.
"Hehe…"
Feng Qingya let out a laugh, although it was beautiful, it was tinged with a hint of sadness and self-mockery.
She directly walked past the Feng family's people.
The ancestor's words had just shattered the last shred of hope in her heart.
At this time, Mu Lao, who was following behind Feng Qingya, had a hint of concern in his eyes.
Meet The Equine Woman: You'll Be Awed By Her Videos
We're Tired Of These Ugly Things! Why Do They Exist?
"Ancestor, the family needs to develop, but maybe it doesn't need to rely on external power. Maybe there are already people within the family who can turn the tide, you just choose not to see them."
Mu Lao, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was only a protector of a Feng family member, but he dared to speak to the ancestor like this, which was quite bold.
But at this time, he didn't care about the consequences, and after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he had gained some confidence in protecting Feng Qingya.
After saying this, Mu Lao didn't wait for the Feng family's reaction and quietly followed Feng Qingya.
Feng Lie's expression didn't show anger, but it became even more complex.
Today, the Feng family had many hidden challenges, and he didn't want to waste his energy on Feng Qingya.
"Niece Qingya, your father was a close friend of mine when he was alive, come here," Sikong Tingyun, the master of Spirit Sound Valley, said with a smile.
Hearing this, Feng Qingya's lips curled up into a smile again.
Without hesitation, she walked to the Spirit Sound Valley's location and sat down beside Sikong Tingyun.
Looking at this combination, the surrounding onlookers felt like a bolt of lightning had struck.
The current situation seemed like a natural alliance between the two.
Wasn't this all caused by the Feng family themselves?
Moreover, Sikong Tingyun's words weren't empty, as Feng Qingya's father had a good relationship with him when he was alive.
Although Sikong Tingyun didn't deliberately take care of Feng Qingya after her father's death, it was reasonable for them to cooperate now.
If Sikong Tingyun was truly supporting Feng Qingya out of loyalty to her father, it could bring significant trouble to the Feng family.
…
On the Wind Bell Square, many people had different thoughts.
In the lower city, two people wrapped in black robes were riding a narrow flying sword, rapidly approaching Wind Bell Island.
"Xuening, let's hurry up, we can't be late."
These two people were none other than Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
They had left the broken courtyard early in the morning, changed into these mysterious outfits, and only then realized they had run too far away in their panic last night.
Yunmeng City was too big, and they had been careful and cautious on their journey to this border.
They were already late when they finally arrived at Wind Bell Island.
"I hope Miss Feng is waiting for us upstairs. If they didn't go, we might be in danger.morning sun had already risen, shining brightly on the Wind Bell Square.
At this moment, all the invited guests had arrived, and Feng Lie stood up from his seat.
With his sword in hand, he stood high above the Wind Bell Square.
"Everyone has gathered here, so I won't repeat what I've already said. There are many alchemy platforms set up, and any alchemist who has confidence in themselves can come up and participate!"
"The rules were clearly stated by my family a few days ago. Now, let me briefly repeat them: today's Alchemist Conference will be divided into three rounds."
"Anyone who enters the third round, that is, the top ten, will at least receive a four-grade elixir recipe provided by my family!"
"And the top three will receive a mysterious reward from my family, which is even more valuable than the four-grade elixir recipe!"
As Feng Lie spoke, the Wind Bell Square fell silent.
Many alchemists looked excited, their faces flushed with anticipation.
For them, the first two rounds were just a formality, as they would be providing their own materials to refine elixirs. Today, they would just be showcasing their skills in front of everyone.
If they were lucky and made it into the top ten, they would get a four-grade elixir recipe for free, which would be a huge gain.
As Feng Lie spoke, his attention was actually focused on Feng Qingya and Sikong Tingyun below.
Since the Spirit Sound Valley disciples arrived, he had been on guard against them causing trouble.
But what made him breathe a sigh of relief was that, after he finished speaking, Sikong Tingyun's expression remained calm and composed, showing no signs of aggression, as if they were just there to observe.
In any case, as long as the Feng family could successfully host this Alchemist Conference, they would be more confident in facing Spirit Sound Valley in the future.
"Alright, those who want to participate can come up now. The alchemy platforms are all the same, so you can choose whichever one you like."
Unlike the long-winded speeches of other hosts, Feng Lie's words were concise and to the point.
The cultivators also preferred this direct approach.
With that, Feng Lie descended from the high platform.

The alchemists from various factions began to make their way to the platforms.
"Heh heh, although I don't know what happened last night, those two people Feng Qingya was hoping for didn't show up. So, this matter is already settled."
"I hope this can make up for my mistakes last night."
After Feng Lie returned to his seat, Feng Mingyan's gaze remained fixed on Feng Qingya.
A gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Niece Qingya, I want to personally apologize to you for what happened last night."
"However, if you're willing, Spirit Sound Valley can become your backing in certain aspects."
The alchemists from various factions had begun to take their places on the platforms.
Su Jingzhen and Xuening still hadn't appeared.
Sikong Tingyun let out a sigh, knowing that even if they weren't dead, they probably wouldn't be able to make it.
This had undoubtedly crushed all of Feng Qingya's hopes.
As for Sikong Tingyun, although they didn't have any evidence, they would still seek revenge for last night's grudge.
Feng Qingya's side was a great opportunity for them.
Feng Qingya politely smiled back at Sikong Tingyun, but didn't respond.
At this moment, she still held onto her last shred of hope.
After all, she had planned for so long and invested so much hope, and it was hard to accept failure at the final step.
Mu Lao, who was sitting beside her, saw Feng Qingya's calm expression and let out another sigh.
He had watched Feng Qingya grow up and knew her too well.
Ads by Pubfuture
He knew that behind her calm exterior, Feng Qingya's heart was probably on the verge of collapse.
After all, she had always seen this Alchemist Conference as an opportunity to take control of her own destiny.
At this time, not far from their seats, Bai Susu was looking at Tuoba Junlin.
"Although I also feel sorry for her, I can't help her anymore."
"Don't you want to go and take a look? Maybe when she is in a fragile and helpless state, some things will become easier."
When Bai Susu said this to Tuoba Junlin, her tone was tinged with disdain.
It was clear that although the two were old acquaintances, she didn't seem to care much for Tuoba Junlin.
Tuoba Junlin smiled, and he naturally detected the hostility towards him in Bai Susu's words.
He didn't mind, though: "Some things can only be understood after experiencing them. I believe she'll make the right choice in the end."
As Bai Susu and Tuoba Junlin conversed…
The attention of the crowd, whether they were from the eating melon crowd or the participating alchemists from various factions in Yunmeng City, was intentionally or unintentionally focused on Feng Qingya.
Some felt pity for her, some mocked her, and some were indifferent.
At this time, the alchemists from various factions had all taken their places on the platforms, choosing their preferred alchemy positions.
The variously shaped and leveled elixir furnaces had also been taken out by them.
Over 300 alchemy platforms were available, but not all of them were occupied.
However, there were 265 participating alchemist teams!
The reason they were referred to as teams was that many participating alchemists had brought assistants with them.
Some had even brought three or four assistants.
This was a common practice in the alchemy world and was allowed by the rules.
However, among the participants, nearly 100 were independent alchemists who didn't belong to any faction.
These people's alchemy skills were mostly not high, and many were only at the first-grade level.
The Alchemist Conference was an opportunity for them, and their goal wasn't to enter the top ten or even the top three.
If they were lucky and performed well, they might even be noticed by the major factions and invited to become a guest elder or something.
Then, it would be easier for them to obtain alchemy materials in the future.
Alchemy was a costly profession, and many independent alchemists struggled to even get their hands on practice materials, let alone improve their alchemy skills.
Many people on the platforms had already started to ignite their elixir furnaces.
The colorful flames rising from the furnaces were quite a sight.
Seeing this, Feng Lie nodded to a white-haired old man beside him, who then flew up into the air.
The aura emanating from his body revealed that he was a Nascent Soul old monster.
At this time, he looked at the over 200 alchemists on the platforms with a serious expression.
"I, Feng Li, will now declare the start of the first round of the Alchemist Conference!"
"Remember, the time limit for the first round is two hours!"
"You can freely showcase your skills within the two-hour time frame, and the top 50 alchemists who produce the best pills will advance to the next round!"
"I must remind you, this Alchemist Conference will be supervised by many Nascent Soul cultivators present on the scene!"
"If anyone has any ill intentions, it's best to give up now!"
As Feng Li spoke, the expressions of the over 200 alchemists on the platforms turned serious.
Feng Li nodded silently.
"Very well, I now declare the start of the first round of the Alchemist Conference, officially…"
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Feng Lie was about to finish speaking, a sudden voice came from outside the scene.
Immediately, a flying sword carrying two black-clothed figures flew crookedly towards the scene!Who dares to interrupt the progress of the Feng Family's Alchemy Conference?"
"Looking at the way that flying sword is moving, it seems like they've only recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage. And they're carrying someone else too. Could it be that the other person hasn't even reached Foundation Establishment? And yet, these two dare to cause trouble?"
"I think things might not be as simple as they seem. Even if someone's brain was kicked by a donkey, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble at a time like this."
"..."
As the flying sword flew into the scene, the eyes of the onlookers lit up, and discussions erupted.
However, at this moment, no one noticed that Feng Qingya, sitting beside Sikong Tingyun, had tears welling up in her eyes when she saw the two figures appear.
Her eyes were already misty, and if she hadn't restrained herself, two streams of tears would have flowed down.
Meanwhile, Feng Li's eyebrows furrowed as he stood in mid-air.
His Nascent Soul aura burst forth, and his pressure directly targeted Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
At this time, Xuening and Su Jingzhen were both wearing black robes, making it impossible to discern their features.
In Feng Li's view, this sudden interruption was already quite rude, and now they were even dressed in mysterious attire.
Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
However, before Feng Li's pressure could envelop Su Jingzhen and Xuening, a figure quickly flashed past him.
It was Mu Lao, who had already positioned himself in front of Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
"Wait, Second Elder. These two are alchemists invited by my young mistress. You haven't even officially announced the start of the conference, and they've already arrived. That counts as being on time, doesn't it?"
Mu Lao's expression was quite pleased as he looked at Feng Li and said.
Behind him, Su Jingzhen and Xuening's hearts, which had been suspended in mid-air, finally fell back into place.
Just a moment ago, when Feng Li's aura burst forth, the two of them had almost been scared to death.
They had originally planned to arrive at the Wind Bell Squire and then look for Feng Qingya. Who knew that as soon as they arrived, they would hear Feng Li announce the start of the Alchemy Conference?
Ads by Pubfuture
They didn't have time to think much, so they directly flew in on their swords.
The two of them had taken a huge gamble for Feng Qingya's sake, and if Feng Qingya and Mu Lao hadn't been present, they would have been in big trouble.
So, they had almost fallen into danger just now.
Fortunately, the two of them had gambled and won.
At this time, the two of them also removed the hoods on their heads.
With Mu Lao standing in front of them, they didn't have anything to fear.
When Mu Lao spoke, Feng Li's eyebrows furrowed again.
He wanted to retort, but he had no words to say.
His gaze involuntarily shifted to Feng Lie below.
The latter's expression became increasingly complex, and after a moment of silence, he nodded.
Feng Li had indeed not finished announcing the start of the conference, and in front of so many onlookers, he couldn't forcefully disqualify Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
After all, many scattered cultivators had already participated, and Feng Qingya was at least a member of the Feng Family. He didn't have the right to deprive them of their participation rights.
Seeing this, Feng Li's gaze turned to Mu Lao, Su Jingzhen, and Xuening behind him.
"Very well, go choose your positions quickly!"
When they heard this, Su Jingzhen and Xuening let out a sigh of relief and bowed to him.
"Thank you, senior!"
Immediately, Xuening flew on her sword, carrying Su Jingzhen to a corner where no one had chosen a alchemy platform.
The entire process had been too fast, and they hadn't even had time to greet Feng Qingya.
Ads by Pubfuture
It wasn't until they had settled down that Su Jingzhen scanned their surroundings.
After seeing Feng Qingya's position, he revealed a relieved smile.
Feng Qingya also lightly nodded at him, and at this time, a tear finally rolled down her cheek!
[Emotional Connection+4]

[Remaining usable points: 312]
A line of golden text floated in front of Su Jingzhen's eyes.
Feng Qingya had directly triggered three consecutive emotional connections!
Su Jingzhen let out a sigh, knowing that Feng Qingya must have been extremely desperate and anxious while waiting for them to arrive.
It was only when she saw them that the emotions in her heart burst forth in an instant.
All along, Feng Qingya had been calm and composed in front of outsiders.
It seemed that Feng Qingya's demeanor was unshakeable, but the points she had accumulated told Su Jingzhen that she was actually fragile at this moment.
However, it was only for an instant, and Feng Qingya's face quickly regained its calm, with a familiar, charming smile reappearing on her lips.
Although the lineup of alchemists today was beyond Feng Qingya's expectations, she was still confident in Xuening and Su Jingzhen.
In her view, if Xuening and Su Jingzhen were in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion or Alchemist Association, their reputation wouldn't be inferior to Bai Xiu and Liu Ming.
After Su Jingzhen and Xuening chose their alchemy platforms, Feng Li didn't hesitate and directly announced the start of the first round of the Alchemy Conference.
At this time, many high-ranking members of the Feng Family looked at Feng Mingyan, with playful expressions on their faces.
Su Jingzhen and Xuening's appearance here proved that Feng Mingyan's actions last night had not only thoroughly offended Spirit Sound Valley but had also achieved nothing.
Feng Mingyan's eyes flashed with despair.
It wasn't that he was afraid that Su Jingzhen and Xuening would achieve something in the Alchemy Conference.
Rather, he knew that his actions last night had completely made himself a laughingstock.
He knew that not only the ancestor, but also his father, Feng Baozhao, would be extremely disappointed in him.
Thinking of this, Feng Mingyan's heart grew even more resentful.
And this resentment bred hatred.
Hatred towards Feng Qingya, Su Jingzhen, and Xuening.
However, at this time, he didn't dare to reveal any of it.
At this time, Su Jingzhen and Xuening had undoubtedly become the focal point of the entire scene.
The number of people paying attention to them was even greater than those paying attention to Liu Ming and Bai Xiu, the genius alchemists.
"Heh heh, so they're Feng Qingya's alchemists, huh?"
"I didn't expect Feng Qingya to be so high-profile, and her alchemists are even more so."
"But these two do look a bit young, don't they?"
"With Feng Qingya's current status in the Feng Family, it's already not bad that she has alchemists working for her."
"It's not like she has the qualifications to be picky."
"These two do have an extraordinary aura, but I wonder what kind of performance they'll put on."
"In my opinion, this is just a last-ditch effort."
"With Liu Ming and Bai Xiu, the late-stage geniuses of the alchemy world, Feng Qingya's randomly chosen alchemists can only serve as foils."
"Even passing the first round is a big question mark."
"..."
Although everyone was extremely curious about Su Jingzhen and Xuening, not many people were optimistic about their chances.
The other alchemists had already begun their alchemy process, while Su Jingzhen and Xuening had just taken out their alchemy furnaces.
And when Xuening took out that extremely ordinary-looking alchemy furnace, it once again left the onlookers stunned.
