Burn on touch

Princess Ji Rouyu lit a stick of incense on the stone incense stand and looked at the young martial arts cultivators with a smile, "The incense starts to burn, and it stops when the incense goes out. You only have one time to burn the incense. The one with the most purple flame plum blossoms will automatically win!" "

One stick of incense is enough time for the young martial kings to pick the purple flame plum blossoms outside the Plum Pavilion. It's just a question of who can pick the most.

"I, Zhu Manguang, from the Zhu Mansion family, would like to cast stones to attract jade, and come to show off my embarrassment to everyone first!"

Immediately, a young King Wu looked anxious and couldn't wait to stand up first and said loudly.

He is very aware of his own strength. He is only one of the lowest-ranked disciples of the Eighty-Eight Martial Saint Family. I am afraid that no one can even remember his name, and there is no chance of defeating the legendary Martial King.

Even many of the disciples of the Zixuan National Religion and the Martial Saint Family were far superior to him in martial arts. It is only good to seize the opportunity to make the first move and show his face in front of the princess so that the princess can have a better impression of him.

Otherwise, when all the young people take action, he may not even have a chance to show his face.

Zhu Manguang patted his waist and saw a golden full-moon scimitar.

blow!

It turned into a hundred-foot golden arc of light, flew out of the Purple Flame Plum Pavilion, and went straight to the purple flame plum blossoms on the branches.

No vitality or spiritual thoughts were used to control it.

It was just an ordinary knife skill. The scimitar flew in an arc path. The path was quite clever. It could cut off at least dozens of purple flame plum blossoms and bring them back to the pavilion.

call!

This scimitar cut off more than twenty purple flame plum blossoms from the branches and whirled back to the Ziyan Pavilion.

"Princess, I'm lucky enough to live up to my command and take it back... uh~!"

Zhu Manguang caught the scimitar that flew back. He was excited and was about to show the purple plum blossoms on the sword to the princess, but suddenly he stared at the sword with a look of astonishment.

I saw that the purple flame plum blossoms on the blade began to melt like ice, and finally turned into drops of purple water.

Why is this?

Why did it melt?

Zhu Manguang held the scimitar and watched the purple flame plum blossoms melt before his eyes. He couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Perhaps, this is the characteristic of Ziyanmei, it can't touch gold objects!"

Suddenly, all the young martial kings in Ziyan Pavilion were surprised and looked at him with expressions of deep sympathy.

Although they didn't quite understand the reason, according to the rules of the Mei Tai Banquet game, the plum blossoms collected must not be damaged in any way, otherwise they will not count.

Zhu Manguang unfortunately became everyone's "cannon fodder" and was the first to be sacrificed.

Each person is limited to one chance to make a move, and those who have already made a move are not allowed to make another move.

Ye Fan was slightly surprised, with a strange color flashing in his eyes, but after reading the book "Shang", he soon became calm and as usual.

This purple flame plum is a little weird!

You Chujie also looked surprised.

Princess Ji Rouyu asked everyone to pick the purple flame plum blossoms. It seemed casual, but maybe it had a deep meaning and it was not so easy to pick.

You must know that this purple flame plum was transplanted from the distant Red Flame Mountain and was unknown in the deep palace.

There are almost no contacts in Zixuan Imperial City.

Only Princess Ji Rouyu is most familiar with them.

"Purple flame plum blossoms belong to fire, so maybe they can't touch metal-based weapons. I'll try with the wood-based black sword to see if I can pick them!"

"I'll try it too, use the ice-type mysterious weapon to freeze it!"

Soon, many young martial arts cultivators took action one after another, trying different mysterious weapons.

However, what shocked and stunned the young martial kings was that no one could pick a purple flame plum despite dozens of people taking action one after another. No matter what attribute the mysterious weapon is, once it touches the petals of the purple flame plum blossom, uncontrollable changes will occur immediately.

Pick it with a wooden black sword, and the purple flame plum will burn directly on the wooden sword.

Picked with ice-based mysterious weapons, the purple flame plum blossoms soon withered under the freezing cold.

"I know! It must be a fire-based mystical weapon! The Purple Flame Plum Blossom belongs to fire, and the fire-based mystical weapon can only make it immortal if it comes into contact with it."

A young King Wu suddenly realized this and said with great joy.

Immediately, he used the fire mysterious weapon to pick more than ten purple flame plum blossoms.

Sure enough, the Purple Flame Plum Blossom was not destroyed. Instead, it seemed to have absorbed the fire aura from the Fire Mysterious Weapon, making it look even more vigorous and fiery.

However, he was not happy for long.

In just the blink of an eye, the purple flame plum blossoms became more and more intense. After the extreme prosperity, they exploded and burned, and soon the leaves withered.

Still no use!

Even the fire-type mystical weapons are not good, which makes everyone disappointed.

However, everyone is not allowed to use their vitality and spiritual thoughts. They can pick up objects from a distance. Everyone must use mysterious weapons to pick plum blossoms from a distance.

"It's strange, why are almost all kinds of mysterious weapons useless!?"

"Don't you know how to pick?"

The young martial kings couldn't help but whisper, wondering how to pick the purple flame plum blossoms.

At the Mei Tai Banquet every year, everyone plays different games and will not meet again.

This year's rules are particularly special. They have never tried to use Xuanbing to pick plum blossoms in previous years.

"The purple flame plum blossom is a very magical exotic plum blossom in the world. Its petals are purple flame fantasy flowers, which belong to fire. This flower melts when it meets metal, burns when it meets wood, dies when it meets water, flourishes when it meets fire, and goes out when it meets earth. , they will float when exposed to wind, and frozen to death when exposed to ice. It is not easy to pick purple flame plum blossoms."

Ji Rouyu explained.

"Princess sister, how can we pick it?... Is it because it is prosperous when exposed to fire? But someone just used the fire element mysterious weapon, but it still didn't work!... Sister, you seemed to have deliberately left out the thunder element just now, or maybe it was Can purple flame plum blossoms be picked only with a thunder-type mysterious weapon?"

Chai Lanyi asked curiously.

Ji Rouyu smiled but did not answer. She asked a question, but this problem had to be solved by the young martial arts practitioners.

"Brother Ye Fan, you are the most knowledgeable, but do you know how to pick these purple flame plum blossoms?"

Chai Lanyi didn't get the answer, so she couldn't help but turn to Mark with curiosity.

"this..."

Ye Fan couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He had already found out in the "Shang" book a relatively simple method of picking purple flame plum blossoms with bare hands. There is no method, but if he tells the picking method, wouldn't it be known to everyone and many competitors will be added out of thin air?

"It seems that Brother Ye knows how to pick purple flame plum blossoms. Why don't we ask Brother Ye to give it a try and let us see what wonderful technique we can use to pick this purple flame plum blossom!"

You Chujie stood in front of the pavilion with his hands behind his back and smiled confidently.

He does not need to find ways to collect purple flame plum blossoms.

As long as Ye Fan is not allowed to pick plum blossoms at this plum blossom banquet, it will be fine.

If Ye Fan doesn't win, his strategy will be considered successful.

The disciples of Zixuan Kingdom were scattered throughout the pavilion, watching Ye Fan indifferently, waiting for Ye Fan to take action. Almost all of them had not yet taken action to pick plum blossoms.

They may not be Ye Fan's opponents, but they are more than enough to destroy and obstruct him. Once Ye Fan takes action, they can destroy it from all directions.

After all, there is no rule that states that they are not allowed to interfere secretly.

"Actually, it's not that mysterious. It's just the method of the thunder system! The princess has just reminded that all mysterious weapons cannot be touched. The only mention of the thunder system makes it clear that the method of the thunder system can be picked... But ."

Ye Fan glanced at You Chujie and replied calmly.

Then, he glanced at the burning incense on the stone table.

Most of the incense has been burned away, with about one-fifth of it left. There is still some time before the end of the first game of the Mei Tai Banquet.

There was still plenty of time, and he was in no rush to take action.

"Since the princess and King Ye Wu both said it is a thunder method, then I will try it and give flowers to the princess!"

Among the disciples of the Martial Saint Family, Xia Houhai stood up immediately with an arrogant look on his face and took out a pair of thunder-fire flame bows from the storage ring.

Among various departments, martial arts cultivators majoring in the thunder system are relatively rare, and they need to be born with the blood of the thunder system. Often among hundreds of martial arts cultivators, it is rare to see even one Lei cultivator.

Fortunately, among the many talented young martial arts cultivators who attended the Mei Tai Banquet, Xia Houhai was one of the outstanding Lei Xiu cultivators.

He had been observing calmly for a while. Since the princess and Mark both said that the thunder method was feasible, he naturally wanted to take the lead.

Sigh~!

With great force, the bowstring was stretched straight.

He did not use his vitality, but only used his strength to drive the bow and draw nine thunder arrows.

"blow!"

Nine thunder stone arrows were fired in all directions, as fast as meteors, actually flying around the plum blossom pavilion, passing over the many plum branches around the pavilion, and shooting down a large number of purple flame plum blossoms.

Although he didn't use his own energy.

But the thunder arrows are thunder-type mysterious weapons, and they themselves contain strong thunder-type vitality.

The tips of the nine thunder arrows touched the purple-flame plum blossoms. The plum blossoms instantly seemed to be struck by thunder, burning up and turning into charred black ashes.

The young martial kings in the pavilion couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this.

This scene is so disgraceful that it is like burning harps and boiling cranes, wasting natural resources.

This is even more unbearable than the other mysterious weapons that everyone used just now.

"No! Thunder-type mystical weapons cannot come into contact with these purple-flame plum blossoms. They will burn upon contact... The man named Ye deliberately deceived me into taking action!"

Xia Houhai's expression changed, and he secretly said something bad. Once he takes action, he will never get another chance.

However, his arrow technique is not simple.

Nine thunder-type arrows flew around the plum blossom pavilion. In addition to directly hitting a large number of plum blossoms, they also formed a continuous and strong flow of energy.

Under the cutting of this energy flow, many scattered purple flame plum blossoms were cut off by the wind, but were not touched by the thunder arrows.

At least hundreds of purple flame plum blossoms flew into the Mei Tai Pavilion following this flow of energy.

Once they fly into the pavilion, they are considered to be picked by him.

"Good! Good archery skills! Brother Xiahou's basic archery skills have not fallen behind after so many years!"

"It seems that Brother Xiahou won the first match of this year's Mei Tai Banquet!"

Suddenly, in the Ziyanmei Pavilion, all the young Martial Kings burst into applause.

He cannot use his vitality and spiritual thoughts, and of course he cannot perform any vitality combat skills above the martial master level. Then you can only use basic techniques and use the most common techniques to pick plum blossoms.

Just when Xia Houhai was about to be overjoyed and accept congratulations from everyone.

at this time.

"Huh~!"

A giant black hammer suddenly flew out from the Ziyanmei Pavilion.

"Bang, bang...!"

It rolled in an extremely ugly flying manner, hitting nine thunder arrows all the way, and smashed them away without missing a beat. Together with a strong flow of energy formed by nine thunder arrows, it also caused chaos.

Naturally, all the purple flame plum blossoms fell on the ground outside the Mei Tai Pavilion.

These purple flame plum blossoms extinguished when they fell to the ground, and the purple fireworks went out sadly one after another.

All the young King Wu looked stunned.

Xiahou Hai is a direct descendant of the Xiahou Martial Saint Family, and the Xiahou Family is the top three top Martial Saint Family among the eighty-eight Martial Saint Family.

Who dares not to consider the consequences of offending the Xiahou family?

Who is having trouble with Xiahou Hai?

Everyone looked around.

It was Xing Chou, one of the three heroes of Cao Mansion.

Xing Chou was grinning widely. Faced with everyone's astonishment, he smiled innocently and awkwardly, scratching his head with one hand, "Oh, I'm sorry! I don't have any good mystical weapons, so I just want to use a hammer to pick a plum blossom." . I didn't expect to collide with Brother Xiahou's arrow, and I missed it! You didn't pick plum blossoms, but I didn't pick plum blossoms either, so we're even."

"You~!"

Xia Houhai's face was ashen and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Who uses a heavy black hammer weighing thousands of kilograms to pick plum blossoms? The three heroes of the Cao Mansion are clearly trying to ruin his good deeds... No, this guy doesn't have the guts, he must have Ye Fan backing him up.

If it weren't for Princess Ji Rouyu's Mei Tai Banquet, he would have wanted to let this guy know the consequences of provoking him on the spot.

Ye Fan must be instigating it!

Without the support of Ye Fan, the three heroes of the Cao Mansion would not dare to mess with him, a descendant of the martial arts family. Now that Ye Fan is behind him, even the three heroes of the Cao Mansion dare to come out and be so arrogant.

Xia Houhai couldn't help but glared at Ye Fan with resentment. So many young martial kings here had taken action, why did they pinch him! Could it be that in Ye Fan's eyes, he was a soft persimmon?
