Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1385 - 1484: Components

Qin Feng asked, "So I can’t enter the Fu Sect unless I see the third-round matches?"

Shang Manqing replied, "If you’re not even qualified for the third round, how can you have the credentials to enter the Main Gate?"

"Hahaha," Qin Feng laughed and said, "If that’s the case, then I’ll go watch the third round."

"Good!" Shang Manqing smiled with satisfaction. "The third round will start in two hours. Be prepared."

There’s a two-hour interval between the second and third rounds because the Fu Sect needs to prepare both the medicines and the venue for the third round.

The negotiations for the third round are crucial. They relate to selecting the best Talisman Master and the inheritance of Daoist runes. Due to this, special attention from the Fu Sect is also a critical part of understanding the Fu Wen Conference.

Amidst the busy preparations, Guan Sheng approached Shang Manqing and Ou Tuo without leaving any trace,

"Elders, the clan sent us to observe the Fu Wen Conference so that we can achieve the best results from it."

"Hmm?" Both Shang Manqing and Ou Tuo looked towards Guan Sheng,

Guan Sheng added, "But if an outsider takes the first place at the Fu Wen Conference, it will not only harm the Fu Wen Sect’s reputation but also disappoint the clan when you elders host the conference."

Shang Manqing looked at Guan Sheng, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Are you afraid you won’t get the piece?"

Guan Sheng’s face turned cold, and he did not answer.

He lacked confidence. His performances in the first and second rounds were noticeably better than others. Although no rankings were given for the first two rounds, he clearly was in the lead. Compared to the third round, naturally, Guan Sheng felt somewhat lacking.

It’s important to know that he had always been considered the frontrunner for quite some time. If he lost to an outsider, what would others think?

Shang Manqing laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I’ve already discussed it with Wu Ge. The Fu Wen Conference’s first place must belong to us, or else it would damage the reputation of the Fu Wen people. And as for Duan Ren in the fastest segment, although he wants to shun his glory and reward, he can still enter the Main Gate of the Fu Sect. I also want to accept him as our disciple."

Guan Sheng was overjoyed and involuntarily said, "This time, the Shang Dynasty only recognizes Ji Ziya as a disciple. He doesn’t want to enter the third round, so why bring him in to threaten Ji Ziya and me?"

Shang Manqing said in a low voice, "Because he was too outstanding in the first two rounds, you and Ji Jia ought to win against him in the third round. Otherwise, many people will watch him. Perhaps many people will mistakenly think that they can practice Fu Wen with us, and that’s lesser than a rookie without a teacher."

"Yes, yes!" Guan Sheng said, "Haha, I’ll go now. Both elders are waiting to see my performance."

Shang Manqing patted his back coldly and said, "Watch your performance? Hmm, if I hadn’t helped you against Duan Daofeng, would you be able to perform with me?"

"Before, I thought he was good, but compared to Ji Jia, he’s poor. No wonder since Ji Qiya accepted him, the eldest elder never paid attention to him."

"Hehe, Ji Ziya?" Shang Manqing laughed, "Not bad, but Duan Daofeng seems stronger than him. If I can accept him as my disciple, he will be outstanding in the future, and I will gain fame. Alas, I’ve wronged him this time. In the future, he will be part of the Fu Sect. If he wishes to win, I’ll be the first to support him.

Two hours later, the third-round matches finally began,

with more and more people surrounding the square. It was almost indescribable. However, the number of people in the square was ten times less because less than 700 people ultimately qualified to participate in the third round.

Looking at the three, three, two, and two Magicians entering, someone said, "Brother Shangwu, if Duan Daofeng takes first place again, what will we do? The Fu Wen Conference held repeatedly must have someone from the Fu Wen Sect as the first in line. If there’s an accident at the conference, the leader of the Fu Wen Sect and Elder Taishang are likely to blame us."

Hearing this, Shang Manqing frowned but said, "We’ve done all that we needed to. If, even with this, Duan Ren wins, then he’s beyond our reach."

As he spoke, Shang Manqing looked up at him, snickering, "And besides, the Fuyu Furnace and fire have issues. Fu Wen is in no way refined. Do you think Duan can win?"

"After all, if Fu Sect cannot secure the first place, we have no other options."

"That won’t happen."

While Shang Manqing and Ou Tuo discussed, the noise around the square grew louder. When some sharp-eyed people saw Qin Feng’s figure, there was an instant commotion, with countless people whispering to each other:

"Hey, did you see that guy? He performed the best in both the first and second rounds. Haha, he’s my friend." Sunx’er proclaimed pridefully.

"Are you just messing around?" Would someone like that even acknowledge you?"

"Exactly, you’re just polishing your own image."

Suddenly, Sunx’er got angry, "What? Am I bragging? His name is Duan Ren. We met at the Treasure Building. Can my grandson mess around?"

"Haha, I can attest to that. In the Music Palace, I saw Mr. Sunx and that man drinking together in a booth, along with the gold from the Music Palace." Finally, someone vouched.

Sunx’er immediately puffed up his chest.

"Wow, knowing someone charming is really enviable."

"He looks young, but has a bit of a dark complexion, otherwise, he would be excellent," said a young person dressed flamboyantly, with a generous demeanor.

"Haha, strength earns respect. Such a charming person, no matter how unattractive, will always have women drawn like moths to a flame." Sunx’er shouted, "You all wait and see. This time, Duan will surely take the first place in the Rune Refinement Conference."

Not only Sunx’er, but discussions erupted everywhere. The focus primarily revolved around Guan Sheng, Ji Ziya, and the mysterious Duan. People were speculating who among the three would emerge first. Many were even tired of Fu Sect taking the first place.

Of course, there was a large number of spies, from places like the Repair Room, Ghost City, and Thunder Fire Hall, watching intently. After all, for competitors and the Fu Sect alike, selecting a Charm Master was an extremely important affair. Naturally, they had to pay close attention to it.

Overall, the third echelon of the Rune Refinement Conference has undoubtedly become the grandest event among all runes, attracting worldwide attention.

Clearly, the use of the Blue Stone Platform this round was not as casual as the second round, but rather, everyone’s test locations had been chosen, and they needed to sit according to their sequence.

Yet, such small changes did not bother Qin Feng.

Gazing at the Blue Stone Platform, Qin Feng saw a dozen precious herbs, including Fulu, patchouli, and a piece of paper. He couldn’t help but smile.

"It’s no wonder only 700 people were allowed into the third round, turns out it’s for the improvement of the Red Wheel Blue Wave Talisman." Qin Feng smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.

The red wheel lines and green wave rhyme can be the level rhyme of the Virtual Meta Realm, and the delicate materials are precious. If too many people were to participate, the quantity and value of needed herbs, even the steaming process, would cause heartache. Thus, the most desperate Charm Masters were rejected repeatedly, leaving only about 700 people.

Even with less than 700 people, nearly 700 sets of herbs are still needed, and the cost remains high.

However, despite the high costs, it is the best choice to make the red wheel and green wave talisman. Because the red wheel’s quality has a significant appearance difference with the green wheel. Through comparison, one can easily judge the strength ranking of all charmers.
