The battle between the two noble ladies was merely an interlude. Although the process was stunning, it couldn't compare to the lottery segment that Master Lin Feng had mentioned. At this moment, the eyes of many figures on the field were burning with excitement.
Apart from a few alchemists like Gu He and Fa Ma, who were capable of refining fifth-grade pills, even the head of a major power in the capital, Nalan Jie, couldn't help but secretly hope that he would be the lucky one.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, looking at the extremely bright sun, felt that the atmosphere wasn't quite right. He stroked his chin and pondered deeply. The next moment, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes wide and clapped his hands. "I've got it!"
Lin Feng looked at the heads of the major powers in the capital, his lips slightly moving, as if he were transmitting something telepathically.
The Dou Wang powerhouses were slightly stunned after receiving Lin Feng's telepathic message, as if they had heard something strange. However, these people were extremely accommodating to Lin Feng's request, and the matter seemed quite interesting. They summoned their guards and whispered something to them.
Time slowly passed, and the many figures on the field began to stir. Wasn't Master Lin Feng supposed to start selecting lucky audience members? Why was he now meditating with his eyes closed?
Before the group could ponder this for long, a group of people dressed in black suddenly appeared on the plaza, rapidly forming hand seals.
"High-level Yellow Rank Battle Skill—Cloud-Covering Sun!"
With this shout, streams of pitch-black battle energy suddenly appeared, then quickly spread towards the sky. In a short while, the sky within a radius of several kilometers was completely obscured, appearing from a distance as a pitch-black semicircle.
Within this pitch-black semicircle, only the Breaking Sect Pill in Lin Feng's palm continued to glow.
"These are Grade Three Recovery Pills, ten in a bottle, enough to sustain your battle qi. The rest are a token of our gratitude."
Lin Feng, seeing that the figures before him were mostly at the Battle Spirit level, worried that their battle qi might not be able to withstand the vast, dark sky before the show ended, which would be a huge disappointment. So, with a wave of his hand, a dozen jade bottles appeared and floated in front of them.
"We thank Master Lin Feng!"
Upon seeing the jade bottles, the dozen or so people's eyes burned with excitement. They hadn't expected their rare dark attribute battle qi to have such a wonderful opportunity. After quickly consuming two recovery pills, they all clasped their hands in respectful thanks.
Meanwhile, the crowd was somewhat confused by Lin Feng's actions. Only the clever and mischievous Yao Yue, her big eyes sparkling, vaguely guessed what he was doing.
"Everyone, now that the setting is complete, let's begin the selection of the lucky winners."
Lin Feng raised the Breakthrough Pill in his palm high, a wisp of battle qi flowing into it, instantly causing the pill, which had been emitting a faint glow, to shine brightly.
"In a moment, I will use the Breakthrough Pill as a guide, controlling it to hover rapidly above everyone's heads. Moreover, President Fa Ma, Sect Master Yun Yun, and Princess Yao Ye will act as witnesses. The three of them will count down from three to select three lucky audience members."
Seeing that everyone was captivated by him, Lin Feng continued.
"You need not worry about any cheating. I will shield the Breakthrough Pill's light and then use a sealing technique to isolate its aura. As long as no advanced battle techniques are used, no one can cheat in front of you."
"Now, please step forward, all three!"
As Lin Feng finished speaking, Fa Ma took the lead and stepped towards the center of the square, while Yun Yun, the Sect Master of Yun Lan Sect, was slightly taken aback. She strode slowly to Lin Feng's side, a wisp of fragrance wafting into his nostrils.
"This Master Lin Feng is truly interesting!" The
gentle and charming Sect Master Yun glanced at Lin Feng beside her and couldn't help but smile slightly. Unfortunately, this exquisite scene was unseen by anyone in the darkness.
Just as Princess Yaoye was about to enter the arena, Yaoyue grabbed her and quickly ran into the field.
"Hehehe, Master Lin Feng, let me do this fun thing!"
Looking at the mischievous Yao Yue, Lin Feng and the others couldn't help but find her adorable and didn't scold her.
"Since Princess Yao Yue is interested, then we'll trouble you later!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Princess Yao Yue patted her rather ample chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, "Luckily, Master Lin Feng is as approachable as ever. Otherwise, if he made me go down now, I would lose face big time."
After the three of them went on stage, Lin Feng waved his hand, and the Breakthrough Pill, which had been radiating a strong light, instantly became plain and unadorned. Then, patterns appeared around it, which was the Five Elements Sealing Technique.
"Everyone, the lottery will now officially begin. So, who will be the lucky one?" As
soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng waved his hand again, and the Breakthrough Pill passed over the heads of many figures in the square at an extremely fast speed. Some skeptics, however, strained their senses to perceive the pill, but found nothing; it seemed as if there was nothing above them.
"The three of you, who shall go first?"
"Hahaha, in that case, I'll go first in the first round!"
Just then, Lin Feng and Fa Ma's conversation attracted everyone's attention. The crowd stopped focusing on sensing the pill and turned their gazes to Fa Ma in the arena.
"Three, two, one," Fa Ma stroked his beard, pausing briefly on the count of one. Everyone's breath caught in their throats, and the scene became tense. Who would be the first lucky one?
"Stop!"
"Buzz!"
As Fa Ma uttered the word "stop," a strange vibration resounded in the arena, followed by a sudden burst of light from a certain spot. Following the light, everyone saw the vanished Breaking Sect Pill hovering above the head of a burly man, bobbing up and down.
Upon seeing the burly man's face, Xiao Yan, completely concealed within his cloak, was taken aback. "Isn't this the man I questioned this morning? I didn't expect him to have such luck."
The burly man, clearly also surprised by his own luck, stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.
"Zhang Laosan, you've struck gold! Hurry up and go up, Master Lin Feng is waiting for you!"
Seeing the man's expression, his friend beside him couldn't help but remind him with a sour tone, "This Zhang Laosan, usually so simple-minded, who would have thought he'd have such good fortune today."
"Oh, oh, oh,"
Zhang Laosan mumbled, walking to the center of the plaza.
"Friend, what kind of fifth-grade pill do you want?" Lin Feng asked with a smile, then, as if afraid the man wouldn't know what fifth-grade pills he had, he waved his hand, and a scroll slowly floated to his side, covered with densely packed large characters.
"My friend, these are all the grade five pills I can refine, along with their annotations. Please choose!"
The burly man looked at the scroll before him, paused slightly, then gritted his teeth.
"Master Lin Feng, can I not choose any grade five pills?"
