Chapter 307: Test, the mysterious man in gray robe
Looking up at the round elixir that flew out, Xiao Yan looked calm, and with a move of his hand, a suction force pulled it into his palm.
At the moment when the elixir was obtained, the last few grains of sand in the huge hourglass finally poured down completely. Suddenly, hundreds of red rays of light appeared on the huge square, from those that had not yet been refined.
The stone platform in front of the alchemist who had finished the elixir lit up.
Looking disappointedly at the flashing red light in front of them, the alchemists could only shake their heads with a wry smile, then took back their respective medicine cauldrons and walked out of the square with dejected faces.
Standing behind the green platform, Xiao Yan looked at the contestants who were withdrawing one after another. He looked around and was a little surprised to find that this was only the first round of assessment, and it turned out that one third of the contestants were about to finish.
He was eliminated, which really made him lament the rigor and harshness of the conference.
Playing with the elixir in his hand, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Liu Ling aside. At this time, this guy was throwing the elixir in his hand with a smile on his face, and Xiao Yan looked over with a proud look on his face.
He held the elixir firmly in his hand and smiled at him and said: "Mr. Yan Xiao, you are very lucky. You refined the elixir at the last moment... You are the best in the internal test."
Oh, if you can't even pass this level, you're really kidding me."
Glancing at Liu Ling's arrogant look, Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "Anyway, as long as this thing is refined, it will pass the test. There seems to be no difference between the first moment and the last moment..."
"Mr. Yan Xiao's words are a bit deceptive. Being able to refine elixirs as quickly as possible in this conference where countless outstanding alchemists participate is an undeniable skill." Liu Ling
He smiled and said that he naturally did not want Xiao Yan to eliminate his achievements with just one word.
"Haha, maybe..." Shrugging, Xiao Yan stopped talking to him, turned his head and exchanged hands with the little princess beside him with a smile, and then looked up at Fa Ma on the VIP table, waiting.
His opening.
"call…"
At the VIP table, Otto took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, smiled bitterly at Frank, who was also covered in cold sweat, and said: "This guy, no matter what, always likes to do this.
It's so thrilling, doesn't he know how to think about us old guys? We don't have as good a heart as him for such a thrilling thing."
Frank also had a wry smile on his face. Of course, besides the wry smile, there was some happiness: "But fortunately, I finally completed the test at the last moment. Otherwise, the best scorer in the internal test would have failed even the first level."
If you can't pass, it will be really embarrassing..."
Hearing this, Otto also nodded in agreement. If that were the case, it would be fun. He would just pack up and go back to Black Rock City...
Fa Ma stood at the front desk, looking down at the huge square. His eyes moved slightly, looking at the contestants who had been washed away by a third. He chuckled and nodded, slightly pressing his hands, noisily
The venue immediately gradually became quiet.
"Congratulations to you who are still standing in the square. You have successfully passed the first round of general tests. However, this is not completely over yet..." Fa Ma smiled and said: "You must also know that there are some cunning little guys who always like to
Doing some inexplicable things, they may have succeeded in refining an elixir that looks round in appearance. However, the elixir that has no healing effect basically has nothing to do with the word elixir... So,
Next, we will test whether the "Bone Bone Pill" you refined meets the requirements of the prescription..."
Fa Ma's slightly hoarse voice slowly sounded in everyone's ears: "Now, all contestants, please find a green button in the lower left corner of your bluestone platform, and then press it."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes swept across the stone platform, and finally stopped at the less eye-catching corner in the lower left corner. He was a little surprised to find that there were several small buttons of different colors scattered there.
, his finger stayed on the green button as instructed, and Xiao Yan pressed it lightly.
As the button was pressed, the smooth bluestone table suddenly trembled slightly. On the table, a stone slab slowly protruded. After it rose half a foot, the stone slab on the surface was slightly sunken, and finally a small stone was revealed.
of black holes.
"This is a testing machine. Put the "Bone Bone Pill" you refined into it. If it meets the requirements, the jade mirror in front of the stage will light up with green light. If it does not, it will light up with red light. Then
It represents failure, and the outcome of failure is to exit... In addition, the stronger the green light, it means that the "Bone Bone Pill" he refined is most in line with the special effects recorded in the prescription. On the contrary, the stronger the red light... that means
...What you refined is not a "Bone Bone Pill" at all, but a pill with no effect at all. Of course, if it can satisfy your hunger, it will still have some effect..."
Hearing the humorous laughter that resounded over the square, there was a burst of laughter from the audience seats and VIP seats, but in the square, there were many alchemists whose expressions suddenly changed...
"Haha, okay, everyone, let's get started..."
Gently holding the round pill with his fingers, Xiao Yan looked calmly at the dark hole of the testing machine, but he did not rush into it, but instead glanced around.
At this time, alchemists had begun to put the elixirs in their hands. Shortly after the elixirs were put into the testing machine, the empty square suddenly became colorful, with strong or weak green and red lights.
Intertwined and flickering, reflecting each other's joy and gloom...
"Bullshit testing machine..." A second-grade alchemist glared at the jade mirror shining with red light with a sullen face. The red light there was almost the strongest in the entire square, so there were countless stunned looks.
, all invested in this gloomy-looking young man.
Smashing his fist hard on the stone platform, the alchemist put the medicine cauldron into the Najie. Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, he stepped off the stage cursing, with a livid face, gritted teeth and walked out of the square.
.
"You have to do some messy assessments... Seriously refining elixirs, will you die? A bunch of old guys... Thanks to me putting all the effort into stuffing those medicinal ingredients together, you actually gave me a test and a prescription.
Apart from the name, I don’t have any information at all, what a ghost…”
Looking at the second-grade alchemist walking out in front of him, and hearing the extremely angry curse words in his mouth, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this kind of living treasure could pass the thrilling assessment before.
.
Following this round of tests, at least nearly a hundred alchemists, some with green or red faces, left the square.
"Haha, Mr. Yan Xiao, let's come together..." The little princess threw the elixir in her hand and suddenly smiled at Xiao Yan.
"Whatever..." Xiao Yan shrugged indifferently and turned his head to look at Liu Ling, who was also looking at him. At this time, the competition in his eyes was very strong...
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and the pills in the hands of the three of them were thrown into the dark hole of the testing machine almost at the same time.
As the three people invested in the elixir, countless eyes immediately turned to this most eye-catching position. Everyone wanted to know, these three were obviously seed-level players, who would refine it?
The prepared elixir will be even more powerful...
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The jade mirror was slightly silent. After a moment, a subtle muffled sound sounded, and three bright green light pillars shot out from the stone platform in front of the three people. The color concentration was obviously higher than any other in the previous venue.
Green light must appear rich.
Among the three green lights, the one on the left is slightly lighter, and the one on the right is slightly brighter. However, the green light pillar in the middle is already as green as emerald, and the color is extremely attractive.
"Wow... such a rich color." Looking at the emerald-like light beam in the middle, there were continuous surprised voices from the audience.
"Haha, Mr. Yan Xiao is indeed confident. Although it takes the longest time, the effect of this elixir is the best. Yue'er is defeated." Beautiful eyes looked at the emerald beam of light in front of Xiao Yan in surprise. The little princess
He shook his head and sighed.
"It was just a fluke."
Xiao Yan smiled casually, turned his head, saw Liu Ling's slightly gloomy face, shrugged, and chuckled: "Sorry, Mr. Liu Ling."
The corner of Liu Ling's mouth twitched slightly, she took a deep breath, turned her head, and stared at the jade mirror with green light, and she suddenly felt the urge to smash it into pieces.
"Haha, Yan Xiao is indeed slightly better." Looking at the three bright beams of light in the square, Fa Ma said with a chuckle.
"If it hadn't been for the sudden disappearance of the little guy's purple fire, he must have been able to refine the elixir in front of Liu Ling. Hehe, I have already said that this kid's ability to refine elixirs is not that of these young boys.
It's comparable." Hai Bodong said with a proud smile.
Fa Ma smiled, and was about to speak, but his face suddenly changed slightly, and he let out a light sigh in his mouth. His eyes swept over the huge square, and finally stopped at a remote corner, where a person's whole body was wrapped in
The figure in the gray robe was slowly putting the elixir in his hand into the testing machine.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Fa Ma's reaction, Jia Lao was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.
"That guy..." The old eyes narrowed slightly, and the gleam in his cloudy eyes flashed. Fa Ma gently tapped his fingers on the guardrail, and whispered: "That guy seems a bit strong..."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Haibodong and Jia Lao were both a little surprised. Their eyes instantly focused on the gray-robed man, and then they frowned and asked doubtfully: "You didn't find anything wrong?"
"You are not alchemists, so your sense of soul power is not very clear. But in my sense, that guy's soul power is probably much stronger than Liu Ling, Yue'er, and even Yan Xiao. In the square below
Among them, his soul power should be the strongest. I remember that when Furukawa participated in the alchemist conference, his soul power was not as strong as his..." Shaking his head, Fa Ma frowned and looked closely.
Staring below, after a moment, a bright green beam of light suddenly shot out from the stone platform in front of the gray-robed man, its brightness almost faintly surpassing Xiao Yan's ray of green light.
The sudden green light attracted the attention of people on the square almost instantly. When everyone saw that the person who created such a beam of light was actually a gray-robed man huddled in a remote corner, they all couldn't help but wonder.
His face was filled with astonishment.
The sudden green light also attracted the attention of Xiao Yan and the others. Looking at the beam of light that was even richer than his own, Xiao Yan was slightly startled, then frowned slightly and looked.
Looking at the mysterious man who was wrapped in a gray robe, he did not expect that at this moment, such an outstanding person would appear inexplicably. Moreover, judging from his body shape and the position where he stood, he was obviously not one of those who participated in the internal test that day.
people…
"Could he be a free alchemist?" Xiao Yan murmured in a low voice. He pursed his lips slightly and stared at the man in gray robe. From his perception, he felt that this mysterious man in gray robe might be him in this conference.
The toughest opponent.
As if aware of Xiao Yan's gaze, the gray-robed man raised his head slightly, revealing half of his pale and childish face. Under the cover of the bamboo hat, a pair of eyes shone with light blue light, with a slightly cold and faint gaze.
With the former.
"Who is this guy?" Looking at the powerful opponent who suddenly appeared in astonishment, the little princess and Liu Ling both looked at each other with surprise and looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
"Chelsea, give me his information..." Fa Ma suddenly turned to Chelsea and said in a deep voice at the front desk of the VIP table.
When Fa Ma made a surprised sound earlier, Chelsea realized that something was wrong. She quickly identified the location number of the gray-robed man, then took out a stack of documents from the ring, and quickly turned the pages. After a while, the pages gradually
Stopping, the information recorded on a thin piece of paper appeared. The portrait painted on it was that of the mysterious gray-robed man. However, this time, the gray-robed man also had a clear close-up of his face. It was a
He has a pair of blue eyes and a pale and cold face. He seems to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. He is so young that it makes people feel a little weird...
He handed the information to Fa Ma, who read it carefully with a slight frown. After a moment, his expression changed and he said, "Is he an alchemist from the Izumo Empire?"
Strictly speaking, the Izumo Empire and the Garma Empire are hostile countries that often war with each other, and because the Izumo Empire is very fond of the alchemist's deadly enemy profession: "poison master", this also makes the orthodox alchemist of the Garma Empire very popular.
We have a bad impression of them. Of course, the most important thing is that whenever the two countries go to war, those "poison masters" will use extremely dirty methods to release poison, poison powder, and venom in various places.
In every war, the number of soldiers from the Jiama Empire who died as a result was extremely horrifying.
In addition, in the Izumo Empire, their domestic alchemists are not very opposed to poison masters, and some can even cooperate with each other. Therefore, this has also led to the alchemists of the Gama Empire to be hostile to these alchemists who have almost betrayed the purpose of the alchemy world.
Guy, I feel very angry and disdainful.
And precisely because of this, when Fa Ma saw that the mysterious gray-robed man was actually from the Izumo Empire, his face became a little ugly.
"Why does it say second-grade alchemist on it? Based on the soul power I sensed before, that guy is at least a fourth-grade alchemist!" Fa Ma frowned as he glanced at the level recorded in the document.
"A seventeen-year-old fourth-grade alchemist? President, do you think this is possible? No matter how talented he is, after all, alchemy requires time and experience." Chelsea said with a bitter smile.
"My senses are not wrong..." Fa Ma shook his head and stared at that young face. For some reason, he always felt that this face was slightly weird.
"Could it be that he came here in disguise? Judging from his skillful skills in refining the elixir, it is extremely unlike what a teenager can possess." Fa Ma murmured in a low voice.
"If you disguise yourself, it is naturally impossible to escape our notice." Jia Lao smiled faintly, and when he said this, the corner of his eyes glanced at Xiao Yan's position below the square without leaving any trace.
Scan, it seems that he also discovered Xiao Yan's disguise, but due to some reasons, it was not revealed.
"But that guy hid himself very well. During this kind of competition, we can't stop the meeting and let him lift his hat, right? Then others will say that our Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire is too overbearing.
That's rude." Fa Ma said helplessly when he saw the man in gray robe who covered his head tightly.
"He refuses to open it, so let us help him..." Haibodong stood up, came to Fa Ma's side, and laughed softly.
"You... won't be discovered, right?" Hearing this, Fa Ma's expression changed and he said hesitantly.
"Hehe, although my strength has declined a bit now, I can still control the cold current and freeze the fragile robe into powder without realizing it..." Hai Bodong chuckled. He was naturally
You know how embarrassing it would be for Defa Ma and others if an alchemist from the Izumo Empire won the championship at the Alchemist Conference of the Gama Empire.
"For this kind of thing that requires subtle control, Old Man Hai's ice fighting spirit is the most suitable. My fighting spirit attributes tend to be domineering, cracking mountains and cracking rocks, so it's suitable. Now, it's not possible..." Jia Lao shook his head and said.
"That's fine... then please." After a slight pause, Fa Ma nodded and whispered.
Smiling, Haibodong's eyes gradually narrowed, and his dry fingers stretched out his sleeves and flicked them slightly. As his fingers flicked, faint strange fluctuations quietly spread out.
When Hai Bodong was secretly moving, Jia Lao and Fa Ma came closer to him, seemingly discussing something, but they just blocked the surrounding sight lines.
"It seems that something happened at the conference..." Yafei looked at the Haibodong trio not far ahead with deep eyes, and said in a low voice. With the eyesight she has trained over the years, she can naturally
It was discovered that Fa Ma's face had become slightly unsightly since the bright green light appeared earlier, and Chelsea's subsequent actions of flipping through the documents also confirmed something.
"Hmm... that mysterious man in gray robe seems to have broken the order of the conference." Yao Ye and Nalan Yanran nodded slightly. They were not just vases to look at. Yafei could discover things, and so did the two of them.
Nothing was missed.
"The "Bone Bone Pill" refined by the man in gray robe seems to be even better than that of Yan Xiao and the other three... I originally thought that this conference would be for the three of them to compete for the championship. Unexpectedly, now it is unexpected.
Such a dark horse came out..." Ya Fei frowned her delicate eyebrows and said helplessly in her heart.
…
A faint cold current quietly shuttled through the air. After a while, it lingered without a trace in the sky above the head of the mysterious gray-robed man, like a few strands of ice snakes invisible to the naked eye, quietly revealed.
At this time, the man in gray robe was slowly packing up the things on the stone surface. At a certain moment, his moving palms suddenly froze, the blue eyes under the gray robe suddenly shrank, and the soles of his feet stepped heavily on the ground, and his body collapsed.
Want to retreat violently.
"Humph, where to go?" Hai Bodong was slightly surprised when he saw the man in gray robe who seemed to have noticed the cold current. He sneered and clenched his palms suddenly: "Broken!"
"Bang!"
As Hai Bodong's palm tightened, the man in gray robe who was about to move suddenly suddenly turned into a piece of powder, and then poured down.
The bamboo hat disappeared, and the young face hidden under it suddenly appeared under the gaze of countless eyes. At that moment, there were sounds of air-conditioning in the audience seats and VIP seats. No one expected that this
The person who achieved the best result in the first round was actually such a young boy...
The young man with blue eyes reached out and touched the disappearing bamboo hat. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and directed his cold eyes at Hai Bodong and the three people at the front desk of the VIP table.
"This guy is definitely not simple. Not only can he detect my cold current, but he can also detect my position..." Looking at the gray-robed boy with narrowed eyes, Hai Bodong rubbed his chin and sneered: "
Although I don’t know why he has such an immature boyish face, if he is really only seventeen years old as written in the information, then I, Hai Bodong, don’t have to continue to come out and just live in seclusion for the rest of my life..."
Fa Ma and Jia Lao narrowed their eyes and nodded slowly.
