Chapter 353 Xuanwu Continent (5)
"You must all be tired from fighting. A top-grade Spirit Replenishing Pill is only two hundred spirit stones. Limited quantity, first come, first served!" Wangyou packed the pills in a basin and greeted the people on the arena with a smile.
Do you have any more pills on you?
"It's almost over in order to avoid being kicked off the field."
"Her elixirs don't seem to be very expensive. Why don't we buy some together and then use them?"
"Makes sense!"
Then, the people on the arena unanimously put away their weapons and came to Wangyou to buy pills. Those who had spirit stones used them to buy them, and those who didn't had to exchange them for other items. Wangyou accepted all comers.
Soon, a harmonious scene unfolded on the arena: everyone lined up to buy spirit pills, with a limit of three. By the time the spirit pills were sold out, a stick and a half of incense had passed. Adding the time spent fighting, there was still half a stick of incense left before the melee was about to end.
Clearly, not only Wangyou saw it, but everyone else on the stage also saw it, and a new melee began.
As for Wangyou, after selling all the pills, she closed the formation and continued to sit back and watch the tigers fight, but she didn't refine any more pills.
Time passed quickly.
"Time's up!" the referee shouted, and the entire arena fell silent instantly.
"Congratulations on passing the first free-for-all. There are 18,000 people remaining after this free-for-all. Now, let's move on to the second match, the team match." As soon as the referee finished speaking, a jade tablet appeared in front of everyone.
"The number on the jade token in front of you indicates which team you belong to. Now, you have one incense stick's time to find your teammates. If a team is not fully formed by the end of the time limit, the entire team will be eliminated." After the referee finished speaking, he disappeared again.
Wangyou looked at the jade pendant in her hand. The number on it was one, so it seemed that she was in the first team. She just didn't know what her teammates were like.
Wangyou thought she could form her own team, but it turned out to be a forced team. If she couldn't find teammates, everyone would be eliminated. At this moment, Wangyou felt the harshness of the competition for the first time.
Wangyou was arguably the shortest player on the field. With everyone calling for their teammates, Wangyou was in a very passive position if she had to rely on herself to call. It was also unrealistic for others to find her, as anyone could easily block her out.
Wangyou looked around and her eyes lit up. She spotted a pillar and quickly climbed to the top. Then she casually pulled out a large horn, which she had originally made based on the sound of a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument), but hadn't used it since. She never expected it would come in handy again.
"Where are the members of the first squad?" Wangyou shouted through a megaphone, his voice so loud it echoed throughout the entire area.
Upon hearing this, the four people who stood out from the crowd looked at the jade token in their hands and then carefully headed towards the pillar where Wangyou was.
Try not to attract attention. Remember, the referee said that anyone who fails to form a team within the allotted time will be eliminated. You have to be careful.
Fortunately, these four were quite strong, and they made their way to the base of the pillar without any obstacles.
Wangyou jumped down, "So it was the four of you. Then I've gotten a great deal."
"You...know us?"
"The main reason is that you're in the top four of that celebrity list, and your family backgrounds are all extraordinary. You can't help but notice it!" Wangyou sighed with a smile.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Ce from Tianxin Pavilion."
"The Flame God Clan, Flame Heaven."
"Xuanhe, the fourth prince of the Xuanwu Empire."
"Ice Spirit Clan, Yu Bingqing."
"I am Wangyou." Wangyou also gave a brief introduction.
Don't you have a family?
"No, I am an orphan."
"Then why are you so efficient when setting up the formation?"
Practice makes perfect!
"What about alchemy?"
"Perhaps I have a special connection with elixirs."
"Don't worry, if you team up with the four of us, you can win without lifting a finger."
"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too. You can tell me what kind of pills you want when the time comes," Wangyou said with a grin.
In Wangyou's opinion, all four of them had good personalities. Xiao Ce was a bit talkative, Yan Tian was probably more irritable, Yu Bingqing was clearly a cold and aloof beauty, and Xuan He was somewhat unfathomable.
However, the four of them did not look down on Wangyou, who was just a little kid, which put Wangyou at ease. Having read many stories, she knew that some people would always look down on those below them.
"Thank you," the group said politely.
The first squad has now been formed.
"Wangyou, where did you get the tool you used when you shouted that sentence earlier?" Xiao Ce asked curiously.
"You mean this trumpet? I was originally going to make a suona (a type of Chinese wind instrument), but I got distracted for a while and made a mistake, so it turned into a trumpet. Besides being louder, it doesn't have any other advantages," Wangyou said, taking out the trumpet.
"Can I take a look?"
“Sure.” Wangyou generously handed the megaphone to Xiao Ce, who then shouted a command based on Wangyou’s instructions.
"This is more powerful than the Lion's Roar, and it doesn't require much effort." Xiao Ce held it in his hand, reluctant to put it down.
"Brother Ce, Brother Ce, please help me!" Xiao Ce looked up and saw his friends struggling to get towards her.
"Forget-Me-Not, may I borrow this?"
"Sure, you can have it!" Wangyou casually pulled out a few packets of dried meat. "Would you like some?"
"No need, you eat it!"
Seeing that they didn't need it, Wangyou sat down and ate some dried meat, while also watching the commotion.
Xiao Ce thought of the numbers on the jade pendant in his friend's hand, and like Wang You, he climbed up the pillar and started shouting. This shout actually worked. Some people who were fighting, and others who were thinking about how to stop their opponents, all stopped.
One by one, Xiao Ce's friends also finished forming their teams, while the medium-sized incense stick on the stage was still half full.
Those who hadn't found teammates yet were getting anxious, because some who had found teammates weren't idle; instead, they teamed up to stop those who hadn't found teammates, employing a variety of methods that were truly astonishing.
The five of them, including Wangyou, were not so idle. They were probably very confident in their abilities, and each of them closed their eyes and rested in a corner.
After munching on the jerky for a while, seeing that there was still more than half left, Wangyou took out the spiritual plant from her storage bag to prepare it for refining into pills.
One batch of Spirit-Replenishing Pills, one batch of Rejuvenating Pills, one batch of Nourishing Essence Pills, one batch of Awakening Spirit Pills, and one batch of Detoxifying Pills were prepared, and the time was just up.
Those who failed to reunite with their teammates were expelled, and Wangyou saw many people crying.
However, this had little to do with her. Wangyou distributed some of the medicine to Xiao Ce and the others, since no one knew where or who would compete in the second round.
However, they soon learned that the Five Great Academies had brought a secret realm, and the second team match would be held in the secret realm.
Looking at the secret realm, Wangyou had a bad feeling. She took out the pills and food from her storage bag, strung them together and hung them around her neck. She also took a suona and a brick.
