Chapter 1841 Place of Trial
This trend has made the Imperial Dining Hall busy throughout the day. No matter it is day or night, many people come here to taste the delicious food.
You must know that the taste of the elixirs produced by Dan Pavilion never needs to be considered. When many disciples take the elixirs, they often grit their teeth and swallow them hard. However, now that there is such a delicacy that is both delicious and can exert the effects of elixirs, who would be willing to miss it? Obviously, people are flocking to such delicacies in an endless stream.
"Deputy Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master, there are really too many people, we are almost overwhelmed!" A helper of the Imperial Kitchen Hall anxiously ran to Yao Tiexiong and shouted, his face Tiredness is written all over it.
However, Yaotiexiong did not flinch because of this. He still handled the dishes in front of him quickly and then handed them to a helper. His eyes were full of determination, as if he could persevere no matter how great the difficulties were.
"You have to persevere even if you are too busy. Didn't you always say that no one appreciates your cooking skills before? Now that people are here, you are not satisfied?" Yaotiexiong said calmly while busy.
This busy scene shocked even the deputy palace master like him. He originally thought that the business model proposed by Liu Jun would only lead to losses in the end. However, what he never expected was that in just a few days, the spiritual stones and divine coins they had earned would already fill several boxes. This result made him admire Liu Jun's wisdom and vision.
Although the key chefs were exhausted, their inner joy was indescribable. They were paid such generous wages, which was unprecedented in the industry. Moreover, the kitchen has a sufficient supply of food, allowing them to taste various delicacies that replenish their spiritual energy at any time.
If this is the case for a long time, even if other practitioners travel day and night, it is estimated that they will not be able to catch up with their practice speed. Such a good thing would have been unthinkable in the past.
Nowadays, when the chefs of Yushan Palace go out, as long as they reveal their identities, they will receive warm hospitality from people. Their status has skyrocketed, even rivaling that of Dan Pavilion. Originally, the Dan Pavilion was still a little dissatisfied with this matter. Because of the emergence of the Yushan Palace, almost no one came to buy the elixirs for replenishing spiritual energy. However, when they learned that the person behind Yushan Palace was Liu Jun, their original dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Nowadays, in the entire Dan Sect, it is self-evident who has the highest status and who is the most powerful. And Liu Jun is undoubtedly the most respected person and the person who can be least offended. His influence has even surpassed that of the sect leader Jiang Yueyang and has become a legend in the entire Dan Sect.
Dong dong dong! Boom, boom, boom! The deafening bells echoed over the entire Dan Sect, as if they were going to shake this ancient sect. Amidst this exciting bell, a dense crowd of contestants in the square were nervously and expectantly waiting for the opening of the trial place.
The sun shines on the square, coating everything with a golden glow. The contestants wore a variety of costumes and their faces were filled with confidence and anticipation. They come from different regions and have different backgrounds, and some of them are outer disciples of the Dan Sect. But at this moment, they are all gathered here for the same goal - to challenge the trial site, obtain the qualifications of inner disciples, and prove own strength and perseverance.
And directly in front of them, there seemed to be a huge mirror, but it didn't reflect any light. This mirror is dozens of feet tall, as if a giant beast has opened its mouth and wants to swallow everyone in. However, this is not an ordinary mirror, but a giant mirror crystal unique to Dan Zong.
This crystal is connected to countless small mirror crystals hidden in the trial ground. As long as it is turned on, the scene in the trial ground can be broadcast in real time.
Big bosses outside the Trial Ground can use this giant mirror crystal to observe the situation in the Trial Ground and the challenge process, thereby determining whether anyone is violating the rules and cheating.
In the square, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. The contestants stood or stood, their eyes fixed on the giant mirror crystal, as if they were trying to find the slightest clue from there the moment the crystal opened.
The disciples of the Alchemy Sect who had successfully passed the trial were watching leisurely from the sidelines, nodding or shaking their heads from time to time, as if evaluating the strength and potential of these juniors.
The bells ring continuously, like war drums, inspiring people to move forward bravely. Finally, the bell gradually disappeared and was replaced by the sound of heavy footsteps. The atmosphere in the square instantly reached a climax. Everyone knew that the trial was about to begin, and a thrilling challenge was about to take place.
When the list of people entering the trial place was announced, the presiding elder read out a long list of names in a steady voice. Among these names, Supreme Elder Qianzi serves as the main supervisor, responsible for supervising the fairness and justice of the entire trial process. The remaining inspectors are Chen Yan, Zhang Yanfei, Gao Ming and Wu Bing.
These inspectors are all Keqing elders. They play less important roles in the sect. They spend most of their time performing tasks outside and are not deeply involved with the sect. Therefore, they can be fair and impartial to the greatest extent and are not affected by the interests within the sect.
Among them, the selection of Gao Ming and Wu Bing is not surprising. Although they are new guest elders who have joined the sect and are not familiar with anyone in Danzong, this exactly makes them ideal candidates for inspectors. Their presence can ensure the fairness of the trial process and avoid unfairness arising from personal relationships.
Some people may worry that in such a place of trial, there will be people with ulterior motives taking the opportunity to cause trouble. However, this concern is completely unfounded. Because there are so many masters here, everyone has an interest related to Danzong. If someone tries to provoke without a long-sighted approach, he is undoubtedly seeking death, which is equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the gun directly. In general, the selection of the inspectors in this trial site was fair and reasonable, which not only ensured the fairness of the trial process, but also avoided internal disputes of interests.
The heavy responsibility of supervision and management falls on the shoulders of Liu Jun, the Supreme Elder. However, it was this seemingly majestic Supreme Elder who became a hidden danger in everyone's hearts.
"Sect Master, I'm really worried about our trial place." Yue Niuqun, the deputy sect leader of the Dan Sect, frowned, with a trace of uneasiness in his eyes, "You know the character of Supreme Elder Liu Jun, his Personality, entering the place of trial will inevitably cause no conflicts and troubles."
As the leader of a sect, Jiang Yueyang just rolled his eyes slightly and did not answer when faced with the concerns of the deputy sect leader. . He was like a mirror in his mind, and he knew very well about Liu Jun's character and behavior. Liu Jun has always gone his own way and doesn't stick to trivial matters. When he first came to Danzong, he dared to dismantle the Qiankun Wuji Formation that had protected Danzong for many years. No one could compare to his courage.
"Sect Master, have you considered other solutions?" Yue Niuqun asked again without giving up.
Jiang Yueyang shook his head secretly in his heart. It was not that he had not considered Yue Niuqun's idea, but the reality was much more complicated than imagined. Liu Jun’s decision to enter the trial place was jointly decided by Supreme Elder Canghai and Supreme Elder Wu Ning. This was a decision made by two elders who had a pivotal position in the sect. How could he, a small sect leader, do so easily? To get into trouble with this?
"Deputy Sect Master Yue, I have made a decision on this matter." Jiang Yueyang finally chose to remain silent. He knew that no matter how he explained, Yue Niuqun would not understand his difficulties.
"Sect Master, please think twice!" Yue Niuqun's voice was full of anxiety, his eyes were shining with unyielding light, and he persuaded him with perseverance.
Jiang Yueyang stared at Yue Niuqun with cold eyes, revealing an unquestionable determination in his eyes. "I said I got it, I got it, can't you hear me? This is the decision of the two supreme elders of Canghai Wuning. If you have any objections, tell them!" His voice was cold, like a cold sword, piercing straight through People's hearts.
Yue Niuqun was about to say something more, but at this moment, Supreme Elder Wu Ning glanced at him with an evil gaze, as sharp as a sword, which frightened him so much that he immediately shut his mouth.
His body was trembling slightly, and his heart was full of helplessness and fear. He knew very well that when facing the Supreme Elder Wu Ning, he could raise objections, but he would be easily slapped, so he felt that for some opinions It’s not like it can’t be kept.
The reason why I am really afraid of the Supreme Elder Wu Ning is because Yue Niuqun was indeed slapped by the Supreme Elder Wu Ning. That time, his face was swollen for a whole month before it went away. In order not to It was so embarrassing that he stayed in seclusion for a month before going out.
As the bells stopped ringing, the large mirror above the square also lit up. It was like a huge magic mirror, with hundreds of square pictures appearing on it, showing scenes from various locations in the trial land. These pictures are like windows, allowing people to clearly see what is happening in every corner.
At the same time, an arch also appeared in front of everyone. It is tall and majestic, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. The two sides of the arch are carved with exquisite reliefs, which seem to tell a long history.
"Supreme Elder, you can come in." The presiding elder's voice was low, and his eyes shone with anticipation.
Liu Jun nodded, turned around and waved to everyone, as if he had won a grand prize and was about to go on stage to receive it. He kept there for a minute or two. The movements were exaggerated and funny, causing everyone to burst into laughter, and the sect leader Jiang Yueyang covered his face.
"Sir, it's time to go in." The presiding elder's mouth twitched and he urged helplessly. There was a hint of impatience in his voice, but he did not dare to be too tough.
"Don't rush, what's the hurry?" Liu Jun muttered dissatisfiedly, then reluctantly stepped in.
Immediately afterwards, the various inspectors also walked in, followed by the thousands of contestants. Full of anticipation and nervousness, they stepped into the arch one after another. Everyone has different expressions, but they are undoubtedly full of expectations for the upcoming trial.
As people enter, the world behind the arch gradually unfolds before their eyes. It was a world full of magic and unknown, terror and danger.
