Romance of Gods

Chapter 175
Low-level god actors like Chen Yan and others are not qualified to enter the real Chiguo Palace.

The so-called registration place is a temporary white shed set up in the market.

Three staff members held special seals and mechanically stamped the applicants' hands.

After waiting in line for more than an hour, it was Chen Yan's turn.

The staff member's face was numb. When he picked up the seal again, some changes were made to the printed pattern in order to distinguish it from other teams.

The cool golden pattern was branded on the skin, and disappeared soon after, blending into the blood.

"Chen Yan, Cao Chunhua, Lou Huowang, and Shen Ximeng have established a contract, and the stamp will take effect after entering the competition world. When separated, members of the same team can sense the positions of other team members. Please note that the contract cannot prohibit members of the same team from hurting each other. But when someone hurts a teammate, his behavior record will be fed back to the country, and when he leaves the competition world, the Hall of Justice will punish those who kill each other based on the record."

"From now on, the four of us will share weal and woe."

After leaving the registration office, Shen Mengxi said cheerfully.

Chen Yan looked at Cao Chunhua and said, "Wouldn't the Cao family have any objection if you team up with us?"

"My matter has nothing to do with the family." Cao Chunhua didn't want to talk too much about this issue. "Everyone, please hurry up and take action. Just do what we discussed before."

The four of them looked at each other, nodded, and then dispersed.

Chen Yan is thinking about the ancient blood seed now. The most important thing now is to collect [-] talismans.

We are leaving soon, so there is no need to save some things.

He directly set up a stall and sold all thirteen black tortoise shells, and received more than 4000 magical talismans.

Chen Yan now has more than [-] talismans in total, and reselling a few spells will be enough.

Just as he was about to leave Fangshi, a slender figure stood in front of him.

"Make a price. If you keep that thing in your hands, it won't be of any use."

Chen Yan stood up and looked, and the face of a woman wearing a peaked cap came into his eyes - Guo Pingfeng.

He was not surprised when this woman appeared in front of him, it was reasonable.

"You mean the ancient blood species?"

Upon hearing these three words, Guo Pingfeng's calm face suddenly became a little excited, and she took a step forward involuntarily.

"of course."

"Not for sale."

"Then you have to be prepared. Many of our Guo family are going to enter the world of competition this time."

"Threats don't sell."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Guo Pingfeng laughed at himself, "I just want to remind you that your name has been listed on the hunting list by the Guo family, so be careful. Not only the Guo family, but any other family has such a precious thing like the ancient blood species." Those who are willing to leave others behind.”

"Ok?"

When Chen Yan looked back, Guo Pingfeng's figure had disappeared into the crowd. He was a little surprised and said to himself: "Thanks for the reminder."

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

After Chen Yan returned to Mustard Seed, he immediately copied down the spell entries on the purchase authority, then went to Tianwangshan City and handed the catalog to Cao Chunhua.

Cao Chunhua worked very efficiently. By the early morning of the next day, she had found thirty buyers.

Chen Yan used up all the talismans in his hand, bought more than ten spells and handed them over to the other party, and then used the money received to purchase other spells.

After struggling all night, the business was finally done.

After Cao Chunhua took away his commission, Chen Yan's balance of talismans was fixed at [-].

As for the other spells that are still available for purchase, due to various reasons, or the effects are too partial or have little practical significance, they have become unsold goods that no one cares about.

But Chen Yan is already very satisfied with his current income.

Holding the country, mustard seeds.

[Qigong Specialization] (Purchased, talismans reduced by 500)

Specialized

After use, Qigong skills can be directly upgraded to the level of flow.

[Unknown Ancient Blood Type] (Purchased, talisman minus 30000)

Quality: Rare (everything)
Category: Miscellaneous

effect:

① When one’s own ancient blood is in the activated state, swallowing the blood type will increase the activation progress of one’s own ancient blood;
② When you do not have ancient blood, incubating the blood species has a probability of awakening the ancient inheritance hidden deep in the bloodline.

[Qigong technique has been used, current Qigong technique proficiency (10%)]

"This is Qigong..."

On the prairie, Chen Yan was alone and calm.

Suddenly, two wavy wind circles swayed from his feet, and the surrounding weeds rustled and bent.

Chen Yan clenched his fists, and his body was like a big bow carrying a load of weight. Suddenly, his body rioted, and he randomly launched a series of punches.

A thin layer of airflow wrapped around the surface of his skin, and every time his limbs flicked, they rubbed against the air and made a crisp sound like the blast of firecrackers.

The real qigong technique is completely different from the internal method of gathering qi in Dantian that Chen Yan thought before.

He felt very clearly that every cell in his body from the inside to the outside had turned into a special organ like lungs.

When he was pumping his fists, tens of trillions of cells would open his mouth and breathe rapidly.

When the dense airflow is contracted and released, a special aura is formed, which can be used to attack when retreating, and to defend when advancing.

Although it is just a beginner's qigong technique, the special way of gathering breath is enough to achieve the icing on the cake in actual combat.

Chen Yan tried to control these dense and short airflows and follow his own thoughts.

Just like Cao Chunhua, she evolved the air flow into a special air shape like a tiger and leopard.

But he gave up after just trying it. Just trying to control the direction of a small part of the airflow on his palm would consume all his energy.

What Chen Yan can do now is just to let the cells breathe on their own.

This qigong technique is a great science, and if you want to master it, you can't do it without more than ten years of hard study.

You can only practice by fighting. Understanding martial arts in actual combat is always more practical than practicing hard in the classroom.

Chen Yan first put down his qigong skills and focused on the dark red blood ball rolling in his palm.

[Whether to use unknown ancient blood species]

"Yes."

Before Chen Yan could finish his words, the blood balls exploded instantly and turned into billions of writhing red maggots, swarming over him and burrowing into his pores hungrily.

The overwhelming pain instantly made Chen Yan's veins bulge all over his body, and his skin became red and swollen. Bang, he knelt on one knee on the ground, his eye sockets exploded, and he gritted his teeth to fight against the ubiquitous heartbreaking pain.

These maggots swam through every muscle fiber in his body, pausing as if searching for something.

Suddenly, a cloud of gray energy flew out from the depths of Chen Yan's soul, swept through every part of his body, and swallowed all the maggots into his belly.

In an instant, the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow disappeared, as if it had never been there at all.

Chen Yan put his hands on the ground, and there was a small pool of sweat and blood under his knees.

"Failed?"

He just thought, and a line of text appeared.

[Ancient Blood Species—Common Snake Egg Activation]

[Incubation progress: 0%] [Please feed: high-concentration blood food]

In the dark space inside the chest, a gray snake egg with cracked skin was suspended quietly.

"Our ancestor of the Chen family turned out to be a snake."

Chen Yan sneered, although it was not as cool as Guo Pingfeng's Luan Bird, it was better than nothing.

But this little snake hasn't hatched yet. As for high-concentration blood food, there is definitely no shortage in the competition world.

Thirty thousand talismans are not in vain, but the price/performance ratio is obviously not as high as the Qigong technique of [-] talismans.

Common snake eggs, as the name suggests, are ordinary snakes!

Now Chen Yan still has nearly [-] divine talismans in his hand. If Lou Huowang and the others find something they like, if they are short of money, they can help.

With the big things on his mind settled, Chen Yan washed his body and left Jiazizi.

There are still nine days until the competition door opens.

Time passed extremely quickly in the remaining days. Chen Yan spent most of his time in Mustard Seed, staying with Cao Chunhua and the other three. In addition to spending time getting along with the team, he also looked for possessions.

But after waiting until there were three days left, nothing was obtained.

This thing has a price but no market, and there are too many people rushing to buy it.

Chen Yan spent [-] magical talismans to purchase the Earth Escape Technique and the Air Control Technique in his purchasing authority.

In addition, in the market, I used [-] talismans to buy ten rare elixirs that can instantly heal endangered injuries.

Nowadays, the prices of goods in the country have been skyrocketed. Thirty thousand talismans may seem like a lot, but they are not that forbidden.

"Sister Cao, I still have thousands of talismans on hand, what should I buy?"

Chen Yan and the four of them stood on the roadside of Fangshi, while Cao Chunhua and Shen Mengxi were holding hands.

Cao Chunhua said with a smile: "Then keep it. Don't give money to those profiteers. In the world of competition, you can also encounter trading venues set up by god actors, which can be useful."

Shen Mengxi nodded.

Chen Yan looked at Lou Huowang, who was squatting silently on the ground, "Old Lou, you said that if you die in the competition world this time, what will your wife do?"

Lou Huowang sighed and said calmly: "What else can I do? Just live as you should. I used the magic talisman to exchange her for 200 million national currency and deposited it in the bank for her. If I don't have it, She will return to Chi Kingdom, continue to be an ordinary person, and live the rest of her life peacefully."

Chen Yan nodded, holding 200 million national currency, according to the exchange rate, would cost at least [-] talismans. Old Lou is a kind person.

Thinking about it, he took out the life-extending pill, which has not been sent out yet.

He took the time to look for Jiang Qian a few times, but by coincidence, the other person was not at home, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

[There are still three days left before the competition door opens, and the registration channel is closed. All performers, please be prepared]

At the same time, the loud announcement sounded again in the city. The dense flow of people seemed to have pressed the pause button, and all the performers listened attentively.

After the sound dissipated, a special panel appeared in front of Chen Yan.

[List of members of Team [-]]

Wang Lingguan·Chen Yan (current location: front of Chiguo, first level of Tianwang Mountain)
Stove Lord·Lou Huowang (similar location)
Giant Spirit God Cao Chunhua (similar location)
Rabbit God·Shen Mengxi (similar location)
Shen Mengxi said in surprise: "With this, we can still find each other no matter how far away we are!"

Cao Chunhua pinched her ears and warned: "Lao Lou, you two are not very capable of fighting alone. If the four of us are not together after entering the competition world, you should hide first and wait for me and my brother to go I’ll look for you and then meet up again. Xiao Xi, which one of us do you want to pick you up?”

Shen Mengxi thought for a moment, "Well... of course it's Brother Chen. I'm afraid you will take advantage of me."

"Hey, you damn girl, you forget your friends when you see sex, don't you?"

The two girls laughed and started playing around.

Chen Yan nodded and said, "That's it. When it comes to Yanyi, I'll go find Xiao Xi, you go find Lao Lou, and then the two of us will meet up. If we decide in advance, nothing will go wrong by then."

The three people nodded after hearing this and had no objections.

Time passed quickly, and on the last day before leaving, on the top of Tianwang Mountain, a door covered by clouds and mist stood up, and Chen Yan saw Jiang Qian again.

The curtains were drawn, and the room was dark.

The two of them were enjoying the long-lost romance on the large bed.

Afterwards, Chen Yan looked at Jiang Qian with messy hair and asked, "What are you busy with these days?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qian was almost exhausted, but now she quickly regained her energy. She stood up with difficulty, hugged Chen Yan's arm, and said in surprise: "I recently signed up for a cram school, and what the teacher taught there was so interesting. It was completely It broke my previous understanding.”

Chen Yan held a cigarette in his mouth, half smiling, "What did you say?"

Jiang Qian's words were a little vague, "It's probably the relationship between people and the world. Once I learn it, I'll teach it to you later."

"Forget it, I was born to be at odds with school."

Chen Yan took out the longevity pill and handed it to her.

"This is……"

"It's good for strengthening your body. If you eat it, you'll be able to give in later."

"Screw you."

Jiang Qian seemed to understand the hidden meaning of Chen Yan's words, so she hit him lightly and then held the elixir in her hand.

"This time, come back early."

Chen Yan was vague and said, "As soon as possible."

He didn't know if he could come back this time.

The penultimate day, Tianwangshan City, sanatorium.

The soft sunlight covered the green lawn, and two white lounge chairs swayed gently.

Since being admitted to this special ward, Zuo Qiutang's complexion is getting better day by day.

Fang Yan asked from the side: "I heard that the nursing home had allowed you to be discharged from the hospital, but you refused. What happened?"

Zuo Qiutang smiled, "When I first moved in here, I didn't know how much I wanted to go out... But after living here for a while, I found that it was much better here than outside. There was no intrigue or exhaustion. Sometimes I even wanted to , lived here all my life.”

"You feel quite at ease."

Fang Yan sighed quietly.

"What, you're not going to participate in this competition?"

"Of course it's impossible. I have to go to every competition."

"Actually, that's fine. After all, with your status, the world of competition is not dangerous for you."

Fang Yan smiled and said lightly: "Maybe."

……

When Chen Yan returned to Mustard Seed, an ethereal roar sounded from very high in the sky.

"Hold the country!"

"increase!"

"Broad eyes!"

"Smell a lot!"

Faintly, he seemed to see gods like tides gathering in one place from all directions among the clouds.

Before he could take action, "The Romance of the Gods - Collection of Chen Yan" flew up on its own and opened in the air, with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

[The fourth episode of the story is about to begin. This time it is a competition world. You will compete with the actors from the four major camps for the final victory]

Immediately, he stepped into the air and fell into the clouds, and the competition began.
