The charming weak voice lingered in his mind, but it made Xiao Yan's whole body feel cold. The palms in his sleeves trembled slightly unnoticeably. He breathed out slowly, trying hard not to let the horrified expression appear on his face.
He lowered his head, and after a long while, he finally calmed down and said calmly in his heart: "Do you want that prescription?"
After the question was asked, there was silence, and Queen Medusa did not make any further response.
His brows slowly furrowed, and Xiao Yan shouted a few times in his heart again, but it still seemed like nothing had settled in the ocean. After trying this several times, he had no choice but to give up. He curled his fingers and flicked them on the table, and his heart gradually began to spin.
, the effect of the Spirit Fusion Pill is to fuse the soul with the body, and Queen Medusa cares so much about it, naturally because of her relationship with the Sky-Swallowing Python, which Xiao Yan is very clear about.
But...if Queen Medusa really gets the Spirit Melting Pill, wouldn't she be able to control the body of the Sky-Swallowing Python? Then...a legendary strongman at the Douzong level may only have Yaolao to protect him.
Xiao Yan just had some possibility of escaping. Although she said she would not kill her, Xiao Yan still didn't believe it.
But if he does not agree to Queen Medusa's request, the relationship between Xiao Yan and her may worsen. In the early stage, the Sky-Swallowing Python may be able to suppress Queen Medusa, but Xiao Yan does not think that it will
She can be suppressed for a lifetime, but once Queen Medusa appears forcibly again in the future, Xiao Yan's situation will be really bad...
To agree or not to agree?
Pursing his mouth, Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead with his fingers in distress. After pondering for a long time, his fingers suddenly moved on the table. He looked up at Otto in front of him, sighed and said, "Okay, I'll participate."
No matter what, the only way is to get the prescription first. When the prescription is available, the next step is to refine the elixir, and the refining process can only rely entirely on Xiao Yan. Therefore, Xiao Yan will have it.
With the capital to talk to Queen Medusa, maybe Xiao Yan can reach some favorable conditions with Queen Medusa on top of this... To be honest, Xiao Yan doesn't want to offend this person. As soon as he wakes up, he will
As a legendary strongman at the Douzong level, if there was a chance to reconcile with her, he would naturally be extremely willing.
Hearing Xiao Yan's agreement, both Otto and Frank breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yan was registered with their branch. If he was asked to represent the Black Rock City branch to participate in the Alchemist Conference, then their Black Rock City branch would naturally also do so.
If you add glory to it, it will take a big step forward in the next year's branch performance ranking list.
"But I have a condition..." Looking at the two people with smiles on their faces, Xiao Yan suddenly said.
"Eh? Tell me and listen..." Hearing this, Otto and the two were stunned, and then laughed.
"For some reasons, I will participate in the conference with the same appearance as you saw before, and the name of the participant. Please help me change the previous Xiao Yan to Yan Xiao, can you?" Xiao Yan touched it.
He touched his face and smiled.
"Hey, if you want to participate, just participate. What are you doing to make people so shameless?" Lin Fei, holding her cheeks, rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan and curled her lips.
Xiao Yan smiled and did not answer her. He just stared at Otto and Falkland, waiting for their answers.
"Changing the name is just a small problem..." Otto nodded, looked at Xiao Yan, and said: "It seems that you have caused some trouble? If there is anything we need, please let us know. If we can help,
If so, we will try our best.”
Smiling and shaking his head, Xiao Yan did not want to get entangled in this topic and said: "Haha, but don't place too many expectations on me. The Jiama Empire is so big, there are so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in my generation.
, I can say that I was lucky to be able to barely break into the siege. When Dan King Furukawa participated in the conference, he was at the level of a fourth-grade alchemist. I, a mere second-grade alchemist, may be a little shabby when I stand..."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Otto smiled and shook his head and said: "Gu He participated in the Alchemist Conference back then, but he was almost thirty years old. How old are you now? And we didn't let you compete for the first place.
That position is really too difficult. As far as I know, the most important parties this time are all eyeing that position. When the time comes, as long as you can enter the top ten, you will surprise many people."
"There is no age limit for the tournament?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise. If there is no age limit, then as soon as these old guys compete, who among the younger generation can compete with them?
"Haha, of course there is. This conference is only open to alchemists under the age of thirty. Furukawa was almost thirty years old back then, so he took a lot of advantage in terms of experience, but that
This guy's talent for refining medicine is indeed rare. His ability to control fire with one hand amazed everyone. He was really the most dazzling figure in that conference." Frank exclaimed with admiration, remembering the high-spirited Furukawa who was still a young man in Gama.
In front of all the alchemists in the empire, a perfect fire control feast was performed. At that time, Furukawa almost became the object of admiration in the hearts of countless girls in the entire Gama Holy City.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "When will the conference start?"
"Three days later."
"In three days, I will come here to see you. I will trouble the two masters with the procedures for participating in the conference." Xiao Yan silently noted the time and smiled at the two of them.
"Well, we will always be here during this period. If anything happens, remember to come to us." Falkland smiled and nodded, reminding him.
Xiao Yan smiled, then stood up, bowed and saluted the four people in the room, put the ice silkworm mask on his face, and walked slowly out of the spacious room.
Looking at the figure gradually disappearing behind the door, Falkland sighed: "I wonder if this little guy can break into the top ten?"
"The top ten contestants in the past were all third-level alchemists. He seems to be still in the second-level, right? It seems difficult, but according to his age, he might be able to shine in the next session. This time... it seems quite good
It's difficult. Those BT guys have all been released by their teachers. This year, it's really a battle between dragons and tigers." Lin Fei fiddled with the wine glass on the table and said.
"It is indeed a bit difficult, but it is not impossible... Don't underestimate Xiao Yan, a second-grade alchemist who is less than twenty years old. This kind of talent is not comparable to that of Furukawa back then. Something happened to him.
Miracle, I don't think it's impossible." Otto said with a faint smile.
"Hopefully, if some miracle really happens, our Black Rock City Alchemist Branch will naturally become famous. Hey, next year's funds will also be able to open its mouth to the lions at the headquarters." Falkland said with a smile.
"And those rare medicinal materials..." Otto said with a sinister smile.
"Two old guys, they always care about their own guild's things..." Seeing the sinister smiles on their faces, Lin Fei and Xuemei shook their heads helplessly and muttered to themselves.
…
All the way out of the Alchemist's Guild, Xiao Yan stood on the street and looked around. After thinking for a while, he walked towards the Nalan family in the center of the city. Today's detoxification has not yet started. After yesterday's discovery of the
The burnt poison actually remained in his body. Xiao Yan wanted to confirm again today, how did this thing get here? If every time he removes the poison, there will be more burnt poison in his body, then this
Things seem a bit...
Sighing and shaking his head, Xiao Yan stepped forward into the crowd, and then slowly disappeared into the crowd.
…
In the waiting room of the Miter family headquarters, a group of old guys who are rarely seen on weekdays are sitting on their chairs tremblingly at this time. They ignore the astonished gazes of some juniors below and look at the person sitting at the head of the living room.
The gray old man cast a respectful look.
"Old Hai, I didn't expect to see you today. When you left and never came back, I almost used all my strength, but I couldn't find any trace of you." Under the leader, an old man in a Chinese robe.
, said with a slightly excited expression.
"Something happened back then, so I lived in seclusion for so many years, but luckily, I'm fine now..." The old man at the top was Hai Bodong, who had been separated from Xiao Yan before. At this time, he was holding a warm tea cup.
He glanced at the excited old man, his indifferent face melted a lot, and he said.
"Tengshan, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have become a strong fighter. You have done a good job in taking on the important task of the Mittel family. From now on, you can continue to be in charge of the Mittel family. I don't want to interfere too much now.
I think the news of my return will be known to the old monster in the palace soon." Hai Bodong said softly with a slight nod.
"Haha, it is naturally the greatest joy for the Miter family that Ebi can come back." The old man known as Tengshan is naturally the head of the Miter family and is also one of the top ten powerful men in the Jiama Empire.
Ter. Tengshan.
In the hall, there are still many outstanding young people in the family sitting. These fresh blood of the Miter family, looking at the elder who is usually unscrupulous and extremely strict with others, actually show such a respectful expression.
, all had dull faces, and they were constantly guessing about the identity of the gray old man. Haibodong had not been back to the Miter family for decades, which was enough to make these young people forget his existence.
"Leo, get out!"
Miter Tengshan suddenly turned around and shouted sharply at the crowd. Suddenly, an embarrassed figure squeezed out, then knelt down on the ground with his whole body trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "Great Elder.
"
"You bumped into Ebi, and you should have been expelled from the family directly. However, considering that you have contributed to the family, I was demoted from the position of elder and assigned to the border city management branch. You are not allowed to return to the headquarters within three years!" Mittel Tengshan
He said in an indifferent tone.
Upon hearing this, Leo's face suddenly turned earthy.
Amid Miter Tengshan's stern voice, the hall became completely silent. No one dared to interrupt. Only Hai Bodong, who was at the head of the table, calmly sipped his tea.
"Ya Fei."
Turning his eyes to Ya Fei who was sitting on the chair beside him, Miter Tengshan's tone gradually softened and he smiled and said: "You did a good job this time. From now on, you will start to officially manage the Mitel headquarters auction house."
.”
"Well! Thank you, Great Elder." Ignoring the suddenly heated gazes around her, Ya Fei forced herself to be calm and nodded slightly, but she held the jade hands in her sleeves tightly.
"Hai Lao, hehe, I think you should go back to live with your family, right? Your room has been cleaned all the time." After finishing the rewards and punishments in front of Hai Bodong, Miter Tengshan turned around and said eagerly
Looking at him.
Shaking his head slightly, Haibodong said with a smile: "Not in a short period of time. According to the agreement, I have to follow that little guy as a guard for a period of time."
"Guard?" Hearing this, Miter Tengshan's face changed slightly, and he murmured with some doubts in his heart: "That young man named Xiao Yan can actually make De Hai Lao bend down to be his bodyguard? How can he?
Such a lot of energy?”
With the intelligence capabilities of the Miter family, Miter Tengshan certainly knew the details of Xiao Yan, but this was only limited to when Xiao Yan was in Wutan City.
"Don't underestimate him. This guy is not simple. Even I ate turtles from his hands several times... This kind of person's strength is hidden too deeply. If you can be friends, then you must not be with him.
Otherwise, I am afraid that even I will not be able to save the Miter family." Hai Bodong said with a solemn expression. Now, whenever he thinks of the Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus created by Xiao Yan, he feels a palpitation in his heart.
That power is really too terrifying.
Seeing Hai Bodong's rare solemn look, the elders in the hall and Miter Tengshan couldn't help but feel a little horrified in their hearts. Knowing the former's temperament, they naturally knew that the entire Jia Ma Empire had
There are no more than five people who are qualified to be treated like this by Hai Bodong, but those people are all old guys, and the young man named Xiao Yan is only less than twenty years old...
…
"Don't worry, Hai Lao, I will strictly instruct the people in the family not to have grudges with him." Nodding heavily, Miter Tengshan said solemnly, in the face of such a big event, he would not dare to act casually.
"Yes." He nodded, Haibodong stood up and said: "If possible, try to give him the help he needs. In the future, you will feel happy for today's choice. I have to go back first. If anything happens, you can let him know."
If someone comes to see me, you should know where I live." After saying this, Hai Bodong stopped staying and walked straight out of the hall, then slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Huh..." Looking at the disappearing Hai Bodong, Miter Tengshan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced around the hall with stern eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You heard clearly what Hai Lao said earlier, then
The young man named Xiao Yan, please don’t provoke me in the end, otherwise, Leo will learn from his mistakes!"
In the hall, everyone nodded quickly.
Looking at Miter Tengshan's solemn face, Yafei pursed her red lips slightly, shook her head with a wry smile in her heart, and murmured: "Who could have known that the boy who was called a waste three years ago would actually be like this now?
To be able to make the Mitel family, one of the three major families in the empire, so fearful... Nalan Yanran, you really got it wrong..."
