"Squeak". The door of the hall slowly opened, revealing a spacious hall inside. This hall didn't even seem to have much furnishings, only a dozen large chairs. The rest of the place was all vacant. However, as a palm print master, Ji Cheng immediately discovered that the hall was different. In this vacant place, a dense stripe path was carved on the ground. Although Ji Cheng had never seen these lines before, he had heard Ji Changkong mention it before. There was a strange method called formation. By carving some strange lines and supplementing them with vitality stones, he could activate the formation. The power of law. If it is a powerful formation, it can even trap or kill a powerful palm master! Ji Cheng immediately understood that these lines should be the carved formations. Seeming to see Ji Cheng's confused gaze, Yi Zu explained with a low smile: "This is a formation, specially carved. It can be used when the palm masters compete at the Nine Cities Festival." Ji Cheng's formation There is not much research. Ordinary people don't have enough energy just to condense the power of divine patterns and practice various inheritance seals, let alone study formations. The methods of a palm seal master are as vast as smoke. If they are all proficient, it would be impossible. The foundation of a palm seal master is still the main seal of the divine pattern, and it is still to understand the mystery of the power of heaven and earth. "Haha, the Nine Cities Festival has finally begun, I can't wait any longer!" From outside the door, there was a burst of hearty laughter, followed by a white figure, like a burst of flames. He barged in with all his might. This is an old man with white beard and hair. His face is red and he looks energetic. But his long eyebrows are very eye-catching. "Ancestor Changmei, you are still the same!" As soon as he saw this old man, Yi Zu showed a smile on his face. It seemed that he was on good terms with Ancestor Changmei. "Haha, Yi Zu, the Nine Cities Ceremony is held once in a hundred years. I can't wait for it. Some of my younger disciples. Some of them are qualified palm seal masters. They always need vitality stones. Tsk tsk, I'm really poor. I can't get more this time. Getting some vitality stone veins can always provide some relief. "Although Old Ancestor Changmei said something serious, he couldn't hide a trace of joy on his face. It seemed that some geniuses had appeared in his clan, which made him unhappy. Self-victory. " However, no matter how talented a genius is, he still needs a vitality stone. There is no vitality stone. The Palm Master cannot grow up either, so the Nine Cities Ceremony is held every hundred years. The strongest people in these nine cities will use all means to strive for a better ranking in the grand ceremony, so as to get more vitality stone veins. With the arrival of the Changmei Patriarch, some palm masters flew in one after another. They are all the lords of a city and control a clan. Become the overlord of one side. Only during the Nine Cities Ceremony once every hundred years will they gather together. The nine people in the main hall almost represent a vast ruling area. For example, Yi Zu represents the entire grassland, while Jicheng represents the southernmost mountains and forests of the Southern Territory, etc. Although compared to the entire Southern Territory, This area is really inconspicuous, but it is still a very vast place. In the eyes of ordinary people, the nine people in the hall are great beings that are unattainable! "Okay, everyone who is supposed to come has arrived. The Nine Cities Ceremony can begin! Feng'er, go out and guard. No one is allowed to enter the hall." Jiang Feng nodded. Every time the Nine Cities Ceremony is held, only nine people are present. In the main hall, no one knew what was going on inside. After seeing Jiang Feng leave, Bai Hong, the swordsman in white, looked at Ji Cheng and said in a deep voice: "Yi Zu, is this your new disciple? The Nine Cities Festival does not allow any unrelated personnel to participate, even if it is Your disciples should also step down. " "Yes, they should step down." "By the way, where is Bei Zhen? They from Bei City have sent people to participate every time. Could it be that they are afraid of being at the bottom again this time, so they just don't come. Right? " "Haha, Bei Zhen is at the bottom every time. If he doesn't come, he is still at the bottom. It doesn't matter whether he comes or not. " These palm masters seem to be very familiar with Bei Zhen, but their tone is different. Very "contemptuous". It seems that every time Bei Zhen participated in the Nine Cities Festival, he probably ranked at the bottom and received no benefits. That's why these palm masters were so "contemptuous". Yi Zu just wanted to speak, but Ji Cheng shook his head slightly and went directly to the last seat, which was Bei Zhen's original position, and sat down directly. "Everyone, Bei Zhen can't come, and Beicheng has been changed to Ji City from now on!" "What? Bei Zhen can't come?" At this moment, everyone looked at each other, and they naturally understood the meaning of this sentence.?Originally, like Bai Hong, they all thought that Ji Cheng was so young and was Yi Zu's new disciple. Unexpectedly, it was not like this at all. Instead, it vaguely represented Bei City and was the lord of the city, which was the same as their status. "Haha, you don't know yet? Then let me introduce you first." Yi Zu laughed and introduced to the others: "Brother Ji Cheng, I am not lucky enough to have such a talented disciple. Brother Ji Cheng He was born in a small village near Bay City, but he rose to prominence in a short period of time. By chance, he became a palm seal master and killed the three ancestors of the palm seal masters in Bay City with one person. Bei Zhen and others have become the dead souls of Brother Ji Cheng, and now Beicheng has become Ji City and a member of our Nine Cities Alliance!" After hearing Yi Zu's introduction, these people who originally had a smile on their faces! The palm print masters who were smiling looked at the still slightly immature Jicheng, and felt a little shocked in their hearts. Bei Zhen is indeed not as good as them, but there are three palm master ancestors in Beicheng. Unexpectedly, the three of them were killed by this young man who looked a little immature. Such a talent is indeed terrifying. No matter how strong Ji Cheng is, there is one thing that is definitely stronger than Bei Zhen. I am afraid that with the help of this Nine Cities Festival, there will be some changes in the structure of the Nine Cities Alliance in the future. "Haha, congratulations Ji Cheng!" Others also congratulated one after another. In fact, very few people in the Nine Cities Alliance have been wiped out by their entire family, no matter how bad Bei Zhen is. That was also a palm master who had survived several calamities, but now he was killed by Ji Cheng. These palm masters even felt a sense of sadness. "Okay, now that the Nine Cities are gathered together, let's start the Nine Cities Festival. Close the door!" As Yi Zu's words fell, suddenly. The heavy door began to close slowly. The hall was completely dark. But soon, some candles were lit, and there were also some gems, emitting a soft light. The hall was illuminated like daylight. "Everyone, this Nine Cities Festival is still following the old rules. Let me first introduce to you the newly discovered vitality stone veins. In the past hundred years, the newly discovered vitality stone veins in various places belong to the territory, so I won't mention it anymore. There are a total of twenty-eight vitality stone veins discovered outside the territory, in the Borderlands. Here is the map. I have not marked them yet, and they are only waiting for nine. City Shengdian decided on the ownership of these vitality stone veins and started mining." After saying that, Yi Zu took out a map with the twenty-eight newly discovered vitality stone veins marked on it. Ji Cheng also looked at it carefully. The map was very big. It's also very far away from Jicheng, just. In such a vast place, only twenty-eight vitality stone veins have been discovered in a century. The area ruled by the Nine Cities Alliance is indeed very barren. "For the twenty-eight mineral veins, the old rules are still the same. The one ranked first takes up 30%. The second place takes up 20%, the third to sixth places all take up 10%, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth take up the last 10%. " This is the division of the vitality stone veins. It turns out that they are divided according to the strength of the palm masters in each city. This is the essence of the Nine Cities Festival. "The last three occupy 10%, how to divide it?" Ji Cheng suddenly asked. "It's very simple. If you don't want to divide, then the last three can challenge each other. Once they fail, all the vitality stone veins they hold will be left to the other party." Ji Cheng nodded, meaning that if the seventh place , can overwhelm the strength of the eighth and ninth place, then the two people who challenge them separately will plunder all their shares of the vitality stone veins. The seventh place will occupy 10%, and the eighth and ninth place, Then you won't be able to get a single vitality stone. "It seems that when Patriarch Bei Zhen participated in the Nine Cities Ceremony, he was challenged every time and lost in the end. He didn't even get a single vitality stone" Ji Cheng also seemed to have thought of Patriarch Bei Zhen's frustration. Before there was a red light shuttle, maybe Bei Zhen wanted to rely on the red light shuttle to avenge his shame when he participated in the Nine Cities Festival, but now he had no chance. "Okay, everyone should be clear about the rules. Now, the Nine Cities Ceremony officially begins!" As Yi Zu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to solidify. The seats in the main hall are placed according to the ranking of the last grand ceremony. If no one challenges in the end, then the allocation will be based on the ranking of the last time. Ji Cheng looked at it and saw that he was sitting in ninth place. The last time Bei Zhen participated in the Nine Cities Ceremony, he was indeed ranked at the bottom. The number one person is naturally Yi Zu. He sits high in the number one position. Being number one, in addition to occupying a large share, there is another advantage, that is, it is automatic.As the leader of the Nine Cities Alliance, to a certain extent, he can even order the other eight cities. It¡¯s no surprise that the second place was Bai Hong, the swordsman in white. He closed his eyes slightly, as if everything in the hall had nothing to do with him, but everyone could feel the sharp sword intent emanating from him. The third one is the long-browed ancestor with white beard and hair and rosy complexion. As for the fourth to eighth players, Ji Cheng didn¡¯t recognize them, but they were definitely better than Bei Zhen back then. Otherwise, Bei Zhen wouldn¡¯t have been ranked at the bottom. The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, and no one had ever opened a challenge. In fact, only the shares of the first and second place were much higher than those of the others, and the shares of the seventh and subsequent places were much lower than those of the sixth and above. There is no need to challenge those ranked. After a long time, Patriarch Changmei finally spoke: "I'll go first, Bai Hong. I lost to you last time. This time, I want to learn your swordsmanship again!" Patriarch Changmei stood up and unexpectedly It is to challenge Bai Hong. But think about it, the Changmei Ancestor is ranked third, and he can only challenge Bai Hong, who is second, to hope to get more shares. "You are no match for me!" Bai Hong opened his eyes fiercely, with a sharp glint in his eyes. "Hey, Bai Hong, you just narrowly defeated me last time. Over the past hundred years, you are not the only one who has improved. Come on, let's see what level your swordsmanship has reached?" After that, Chang Ancestor Mei walked directly into the open space surrounded by lines of formations, staring directly at Bai Hong, with fighting spirit on his body.
