The sudden disappearance of the gray-robed boy's bamboo hat made many people a little surprised, but no one suspected Hai Bodong and others. At this time, most of the audience's eyes were basically attracted by the young face of the gray-robed boy.
Having attracted so many alchemist conferences in the past, I am afraid that this young man is the youngest.
The young man in gray robe patted the faint broken ice remaining on his shoulder, raised his head and showed a sneer at Hai Bodong and others above the VIP seats. His lips squirmed slightly, and relying on the shape of his mouth, Fa Ma and others could clearly identify him.
What he said: "I want to be the champion in this conference!"
"How's it going? Can you tell if he's disguised?" Fa Ma asked lightly, tapping the guardrail with his fingers.
Haibodong and Jia Lao looked at each other, then shook their heads slightly and said in a deep voice: "I didn't realize that I was disguised..."
"Then you mean...are you saying that this person is really only this old? If that's the case, I think he has successfully fully explained what a true genius is. Compared with him, Liu Ling, Yan
It seems that their talents have become extremely mediocre." Fa Ma frowned.
"Although I can't tell whether he is disguised or not, his age is definitely not what the information says..." Hai Bodong shook his head and said, "Looking at his previous sensitive reaction to danger, it's not like
It is what a seventeen-year-old boy can possess, but it is more like a warrior who has been killed for a long time. Moreover, he can hide his strength until now, which is enough to show that his concentration and mind are extraordinary. I really
It’s unimaginable that a seventeen-year-old boy can do all these things so perfectly.”
"In this world, it's not just disguises that can make one's appearance look like this... As an alchemist, you should know better than us that some strange medicinal materials or elixirs... have such weird effects.
"Jia Lao said in a low voice.
"There are indeed some weird elixirs that can make people look younger, but those elixirs are all extremely rare and extremely difficult to refine... But if anyone really gets it, except him
If you admit your age yourself, I'm afraid it will be difficult for outsiders to tell..." Fa Ma nodded and pondered.
"If any old guy gets this kind of elixir that can restore his appearance to his youth, wouldn't he be able to come to this conference secretly? At that time... who else in the younger generation can compare with this? So
It seems that your conference still has some loopholes." Hai Bodong frowned.
"Do you really think that kind of elixir is extremely easy to refine? And among those of the older generation, who would lose their dignity to do such a thing? If it is exposed, they will not die in disgrace?" Fa Ma was helpless.
road.
"Well, there's one down there... I'm sure now that underneath this childish appearance, there is definitely an old soul." Haibodong spread his hands and raised his chin towards the gray-robed boy.
"If you are sure, what's the use? We can't just rely on your words to drive him out in front of so many people, right? Since our Alchemist Conference is said to be open to any alchemist, then naturally it is
Including the alchemists of the Izumo Empire..." Fa Ma said with a bitter smile.
"Then what are you going to do now? If a person from the Izumo Empire wins the championship, it will be a big blow to your guild's reputation." Jia Lao frowned.
"What else can we do? We can only continue the conference first. If he fails, it will save us some trouble. And... Yan Xiao and the other little guys are not fuel-efficient lamps. If he wins,
Where is that guy?" Fa Ma spread his hands and said.
"Looking at the situation, it seems a bit difficult." Jia Lao shook his head and said.
"That's not necessarily true..." Haibodong suddenly grinned, glanced at Xiao Yan in the field, and said with a smile: "Maybe there is a surprise..."
"I hope so."
Sighing, although Fa Ma said this, he really didn't have much confidence in his heart. Although Yan Xiao can be regarded as a leader of the younger generation, the mysterious gray-robed boy obviously does not belong to this young generation.
level.
"Let's take a look first, in case it doesn't work... When today's assessment is over, find an opportunity to give that guy..." Haibodong patted Fa Ma on the shoulder and waved casually, with a faint expression on his old face.
murderous intent.
Fa Ma's turbid eyes narrowed slightly. After a while, he shook his head slightly and sighed: "Forget it, if the matter is exposed, the reputation of our Jiama Empire Alchemist Guild will become notorious on the mainland.
This price is not worth the loss for us! Therefore, we cannot take this risk."
"It's up to you." Hai Bodong shrugged and stopped talking. He took a few steps back and sat lazily on a chair, waiting for the conference to continue.
Jia Lao also patted Fa Ma on the shoulder and returned to his seat.
…
"That guy... is so young?" Xiao Yan and the other three looked at the gray-robed boy's immature face in shock. They did not have the same eyesight as Fa Ma and others, so when they saw each other's appearance, they were all shocked.
I was shocked and speechless.
"Is that guy from the Izumo Empire?" The little princess' sharp eyes suddenly looked at the badge worn on the chest of the gray-robed boy. Above the badge, a bright sun was rising slowly from the horizon. This
The image is the symbol of the Izumo Empire.
"Izumo Empire?" Hearing this name, Xiao Yan was slightly startled, and the little medical fairy in a fluttering white dress suddenly flashed in his mind. It seems that she went to the Izumo Empire, right?
"He's actually from the Izumo Empire? This is so funny..." Liu Ling was also startled, and then murmured. As the disciple of King Dan, he naturally knew the relationship between the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire.
"We must not let him win the championship!" Liu Ling looked at Xiao Yan and the little princess and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yan shrugged indifferently. Because no one had instilled in him hostile thoughts towards the Izumo Empire, he did not have much hostility towards the Izumo Empire. However, the little princess, who was a member of the royal family,
He nodded solemnly.
…
At the front desk of the VIP table, Fa Ma breathed out slowly, his turbid eyes stared at the gray-robed young man in the square below with a slight chill. After a while, a calm voice echoed in the square again.
"Okay, now that everyone has completed the test, let's start the second round of assessment... Move your fingers and press the small red button on the lower left side of the stone platform."
Hearing the voice that resounded in his ears, Xiao Yan temporarily forgot about the gray-robed boy, fumbled with his fingers, and pressed the small red button.
As the button was pressed, the huge bluestone table suddenly trembled slightly. The previously protruding machine retracted again, and on the neat stone surface, there was a large stack of neat medicinal materials and a roll of prescriptions.
Slowly floated up.
"The prescription this time is an orthodox prescription. Our guild has devoted all its efforts and spent several months to make it. And this assessment requires you to successfully refine the elixir according to the prescription.
, the materials in front of you are enough for you to refine it twice, which means that you still only have two chances. If the medicinal materials are consumed, it also means that you have failed..."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned, and then frowned slightly: "Refining the elixir according to the prescription? This kind of assessment...isn't it a bit too simple? This step-by-step refining is simply better than the previous first
The round is much simpler... With the prudence of this conference, how could it be possible to have such a simple assessment?"
Shaking his head in confusion, Xiao Yan gently picked up the scroll of the prescription, slowly unfolded it, then closed his eyes slightly, and his soul power came out, gradually scanning the information locked on the prescription.
As the soul power was scanned, each piece of detailed data was quickly stored in Xiao Yan's mind. Various matters that need to be paid attention to during refining were also quickly and clearly memorized in Xiao Yan's mind.
This is the benefit of orthodox medicine...
When these information were memorized into Xiao Yan's mind, he could feel that the information stored using soul power on the scroll was quickly disappearing.
"Fengxing Dan, a third-grade elixir, has the effect of making the person who takes it sensitive to the wind energy between heaven and earth in a short period of time. This can increase the movement speed."
"It's a very practical elixir... The Alchemist Guild is really generous. There is no one hundred thousand gold coins in the market for this kind of elixir, so it's impossible to get it, but they gave it away for free." He sighed and shook his head.
The effect of increasing movement speed made Xiao Yan a little surprised.
"According to what is said above, refining Fengxing Dan requires the fusion of nine medicinal materials. Although it is not a lot, it is not too little..." Xiao Yan murmured as his eyes slowly swept over the nine medicinal materials in front of him.
Said: "As long as the level of this kind of elixir reaches the third level and you have the prescription, it is not very difficult to refine. This time the test... is quite simple. Is it because I was too harsh before and now I want it to be smoother?"
Passed the customs?"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked around, only to find that the brows of the little princess Liu Ling and others were slightly wrinkled. Apparently, they were also a little surprised by the simplicity of this assessment.
"No matter what the reason is, let's take action first. If you can pass the level smoothly, it will be good, but it will save you trouble." He murmured in a low voice, Xiao Yan threw the purple pill into his mouth, and then took the purple fire,
Spray into the medicine cauldron.
In a remote corner of the square, the young man in gray robe looked at the scroll in his hand calmly, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Little trick... Is this what the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire is capable of?"
At the front desk of the VIP table, Fa Ma looked down condescendingly, looking at Xiao Yan who was already refining in the center. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Little guy, you have to be careful in everything. This kind of conference is not a competition on the street.
, if you don’t pay attention, it will be the ending of your appearance.”
