Chapter 936 Starlight Arrives

The unusually loud and sudden words made everyone's eyes instantly focus on Lu Qingran.

Li Fengxing and others frowned at Lu Qingran, "What does Miss Lu mean?"

Xiao Yi also turned his head slightly and glanced at Lu Qingran beside him.

In fact, as early as when he returned to the viewing area, he noticed Lu Qingran's presence.

However, the two of them had no friendship, and Xiao Yi ignored her.

At this time, Xiao Yi looked at her slightly.

Lu Qingran is only 23 years old this year. She is not very beautiful, but she has a delicate face and good looks.

However, there is obviously a hint of cold arrogance and heroic spirit in this delicate face.

Instinct tells Xiao Yi that this is an extremely competitive woman.

Lu Qingran also looked at Xiao Yi at this time, "Deacon Xiao Yi, right? I want to fight with you."

"Should we compete on stage now, or should we compete privately after the star exchange day is over?"

Lu Qingran's eyes were filled with fighting intent.

"Fight with me?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly, "Why?"

"Because you defeated Wang Xinghe, you are now the number one genius in Xinghuan City." Lu Qingran said without hesitation.

"Choose one, take the stage now or fight later."

"Do you have any chance of winning against me?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.

"No." Lu Qingran shook her head, "I just want to have a fight."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Okay."

"However, there is no need to waste time on the day of star change."

"Let's choose another day to fight again."

"Okay." Lu Qingran smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, the ten referees at the head of the audience looked at Lu Qingran and asked, "But do you have any objections to the ranking?"

Lu Qingran shook her head, "No more."

There was no objection from the audience, and the ranking was decided.

On the day of the star swap, there are a total of 36 places.

Excluding the seven places from the City Lord's Palace, Fengcha Palace and the three major families, there are a total of 29 places competing for them.

In other words, these 29 places and 29 rankings, in addition to the opportunity of the Star Exchange Day, can also receive a reward from the City Lord's Mansion.

The higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards will be.

At this time, Xiao Yi was bored and waiting quietly in the Fengcha Palace spectator seats.

The eldest prince and others chatted casually, "The competition has passed, when will the day of star change begin?"

"I don't know." Li Fengxing shook his head.

Senior Li He on the side chuckled and said, "Don't be impatient, just wait."

"The day of star change will definitely begin today, and 36 rays of starlight will fall."

"What you have to do now is to calm down and prepare for meditation."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Just at this moment, a referee from the City Lord's Mansion walked over quickly.

"Senior Li He." The referee took the lead in saluting Senior Li He.

"Yeah." Li He and his seniors nodded.

The referee said, "I am here under the orders of the city lord to distribute rewards to all the geniuses."

Li He and his seniors nodded, "Thank you."

The referee distributed rewards to Li Fengxing, the eldest prince, Kuanglan Sect Master and others one by one.

When it was Xiao Yi's turn, the referee said, "Deacon Xiao Yi, the city lord has called you to come."

"Huh?" Xiao Yi looked confused and glanced at Li He.

Senior Li He nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Xiao Yi nodded and followed the referee.

Not long after, Xiao Yi arrived at the head of the spectator seats.

The Lord of Xinghuan City sat upright with a solemn face. When he saw Xiao Yi approaching, he smiled slightly.

"See City Lord." Xiao Yi bowed slightly.

"No need to be polite." The Lord of Xinghuan City waved his hand and said, "I called you here because I just wanted to meet this amazing genius of yours. I have no other intention."

"You come from an ordinary area, but you have the strength to kill the vicious Wolf Mountain bandits that have been entrenched in the border area for many years."

"Even our former No. 1 Prodigy, King Xinghe, was defeated by you. It's really impressive."

"The city lord is so complimentary." Xiao Yi cupped his hand.

The Lord of Xinghuan City waved his hand and said, "In the Central Territory, strength is respected, you don't have to be humble."

"This is your reward." With that said, the Lord of Xinghuan City took out a Qiankun Ring and handed it to Xiao Yi.

"Thank you City Lord." Xiao Yi thanked him and felt it slightly.

His face was happy at first, and then he frowned.

Within the Qiankun Ring, there are a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures and elixirs, as well as a small amount of demonic beast blood.

These are all things for cultivation.

The rewards given to the geniuses are naturally cultivation objects.

However, those heavenly materials and earthly treasures were useful to Xiao Yi. The amount of demonic beast essence and blood was too small, and those pills were of no use.

Of course, Xiao Yi's frown only appeared for a moment and then faded away.

"What? Are you not satisfied with the reward?" Star Exchange City Lord still keenly caught Xiao Yi's frown.

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.

The Star Exchange City Lord frowned and said, "If you have something to say, you may as well tell me directly. You are the number one person on this Star Exchange day. If I can satisfy you, this City Lord will try my best to satisfy you."

Xiao Yi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I wonder if the reward pills in the Qiankun Ring can be exchanged for equivalent amounts of demonic beast essence blood or heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"

"Oh?" Xinghuan City Lord was slightly confused, "Are you dissatisfied with these pills?"

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, "It's just that these pills are useless to me."

"Useless?" Xinghuan City Lord said with a smile, "These elixirs are carefully refined by several chief alchemists in my city lord's palace. They are all high-quality elixirs."

"Although there are no saint-grade alchemists in my city lord's palace, they are all ninth-grade peak alchemists."

"You say the elixir they carefully prepared is useless?"

"Uh." Xiao Yi was slightly embarrassed.

The Lord of Xingzhuang City shook his head and said, "Forget it, if you want to change, you can."

"Our city lord's palace can recycle these elixirs, but they cannot be of equal value. At most they are 80% of the value."

Xiao Yi's face lit up and he said, "Thank you City Lord, it doesn't have to be 80%, just half."

"Half?" The Lord of Xinghuan City was stunned and said with a smile, "Okay, I will order someone to replace it for you now."

"But let me remind you, it is you who will suffer the loss."

Xiao Yi smiled and waited on the spot.

The reason why he said those pills were useless to him was because he could refine better pills himself.

As for elixirs, often the price after being refined is dozens of times more than the ingredients themselves.

Of course, for an alchemist, refining elixirs requires a lot of effort and concentration, and also wastes one's own practice time.

Therefore, it is normal that the refined elixir is so much more expensive.

Xiao Yi doesn't need these elixirs, it would be better to replace them with raw materials.

Not long after, the city lord had ordered people to exchange for a large amount of heavenly materials, earthly treasures and monster blood.

Xiao Yi took it and thanked him, "Thank you, City Lord."

Xiao Yi sensed the Qiankun Ring again, and found that only the treasures of heaven and earth and the essence and blood of monsters and beasts were left in it, all of which were in the eighth or ninth grade or above.

Most importantly, the quantity is astonishing.

The reward for first place in Star Exchange City is indeed generous.

The Lord of Xinghuan City and Xiao Yi chatted for a while again.

Suddenly, starlight surged high in the sky.

The bright stars gradually surged into long rivers of starlight.

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

36 rays of starlight arrived as expected and landed on the competition stage.

"The day of the Star Exchange has begun." The Lord of the Star Exchange City smiled.
