Under the night sky, four shadows flashed quietly, and an atmosphere of silence lingered among the few people.
"Hey, Pharaoh, we wasted a whole night and went back empty-handed?" Hai Bodong finally couldn't help but asked as he tapped his toes on the roof.
On the side, Jia Lao also nodded. With his temperament, he would never do such a thing and return empty-handed.
"How could it be empty-handed? Don't we already know the true identity of that guy? Now at least we have some foundation in our hearts." Knowing the unhappy mood of Hai Bodong and the others, Fa Ma helplessly shook his head and said.
"What's the use of just knowing? He won't participate in the competition tomorrow? With his strength and years of experience in alchemy, it won't be too difficult to win the championship." Jia Lao frowned.
"Haha, don't we still have three little guys like Yan Xiao? Who among the three of them will not have a trump card? Maybe there will be an accident tomorrow." Fa Ma glanced at Xiao Yan behind him and said with a smile.
"Stop pretending to be confused. Although the three Yan Xiao guys are not weak in talent, they are the vice-presidents of the Izumo Empire Guild after all. Moreover, they came prepared this time. The chances of the three of them winning are very high.
Little one." Jia Lao said in a deep voice: "If that guy wins the championship, not only will your guild's reputation plummet, but also the Jia Ma Empire will probably be laughed at for a while on the mainland."
"The most important thing is that once he becomes the champion, that guy will attract more and more attention. Even if you want to intercept him midway, you will still be afraid." Hai Bodong also added.
At the end, Xiao Yan listened quietly to the arguments of the three people in front of him. He knew that at this time, it was better not to interrupt.
"I still don't know how strong Yue'er's girl is? Although it is not difficult to win the top three, it is still very difficult to win the championship even without that guy who suddenly appears... As for Liu Ling, Furukawa is indeed
Taught him a lot of things, but he suffers because he is young and his experience is far inferior to Yanli..." Jia Lao frowned and analyzed: "Among the three of them, only Yan Xiao can compete with that guy.
However, I can be sure that today, Yanli must have hidden a lot of strength, and Yanxiao may also fall behind in the final round of competition tomorrow."
Fa Ma was silent, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and his pupils were constantly flashing.
"Hey, Pharaoh, you should think of something. That guy's participation in the competition has already violated the regulations, so you don't have to guard those dead things anymore. Just do whatever you need to do. As long as
Just don't let that guy win the championship." Hai Bodong sighed.
"Huh..." Taking a long breath of the cold air in the night sky, the speed of Fa Ma's flash suddenly slowed down. He nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes, I want to do something, Jia Ma Empire
The Alchemist Guild has been passed down for so many years, but its reputation cannot be ruined in my hands."
"Hehe, it's good if you know." Seeing him finally speak, Haibodong and Jia Lao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Fa Ma frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head, looked at Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "Little guy, you must have shown your strength today, not the bottom line, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned, looked up at the smiling Fa Ma, and said hesitantly: "Why did Pharaoh ask that? That... is indeed a little hidden."
"Haha, I know... how come young people today are so good at this?" After laughing twice, Fa Ma fell behind a little, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This conference, with
Yanli's fight for the championship will probably depend on you."
"Pharaoh is joking. Although I don't want to gain the prestige of others, you also know that that guy is the vice-president of a guild. It will be difficult for me, a fledgling boy, to compete with him." Xiao Yan shook his head.
He shook his head and sighed.
"Of course it's impossible to rely entirely on you... Since that guy was the first to break the rules, you can't blame me." Fa Ma smiled faintly and immediately turned his attention to Hai Bodong and the other two: "You two go back first.
, I will take my friend Yan Xiao back to the guild, there are some things that I need to talk to him about."
Hearing Fa Ma's words, Hai Bodong and Jia Lao were startled, then looked at each other, nodded slightly, and cupped their hands towards Fa Ma. The two of them flew away in one direction and the other in the blink of an eye.
Then he disappeared from Xiao Yan's sight.
Looking at the two disappearing people, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Fa Ma and said doubtfully: "Pharaoh, what are you?"
"Haha, come with me." Fa Ma smiled, stretched out his body, and flashed towards the Alchemist Guild in the center of the city. After that, Xiao Yan hesitated a little and followed closely.
.
The two of them, one behind the other, quickly flew over the city. Ten minutes later, they stopped outside the Alchemist Guild without disturbing anyone.
"Let's go." He said to Xiao Yan, and Fa Ma took the lead and walked towards the guild.
Although it was already late at night, the lights of the Alchemist Guild were still brightly lit, like daylight. At the entrance of the guild, the indifferent guards were tirelessly monitoring everyone who came in and out of the door. When their eyes suddenly glanced at
After reaching the old man who was striding toward the guild, he was startled for a moment, and then his body suddenly tensed up, and his eyes stared at Fa Ma who was slowly approaching with respect and awe.
Fa Mam smiled casually at the guard at the door, turned to urge Xiao Yan, and then walked into the guild.
Hearing Fa Ma's anxious urging, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, and immediately followed him under the surprised eyes of the guards at the door. Ever since they were guards here, they had never seen Fa Ma treat a person like this.
young people.
Marching in the guild, following Fa Ma, he quickly shuttled through several huge areas. During this period, many alchemists who saw Fa Ma bowed and stepped aside with awe on their faces. Xiao Yan followed Fa Ma as well.
I enjoyed this kind of treatment in a pretentious manner.
As the two of them walked upstairs, the alchemists in the hall suddenly started whispering.
"That young man... seems to be the rock owl at today's conference, right?"
"It seems that he is very valued by the president..."
"Hey, nonsense, he is one of the few people who can compete with the gray-robed boy from the Izumo Empire. How can we not take it seriously..."
"If he wins the championship this time, he will probably become the youngest elder of our Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild, right?"
"Oh, there are so many young heroes out there. I, an old guy, have been in the guild all my life and have only reached the level of deacon..."
Following Fa Ma all the way to the top of the guild, he stopped outside a room. Fa Ma pushed open the door and walked in. Xiao Yan also walked in. He glanced around and was a little surprised. The room was actually very spacious, but
But it looked a bit quaint, with several rows of bookshelves leaning against the wall, and an ancient-looking table standing alone in the room.
"Sit down." Fa Ma sat down behind the table and smiled at Xiao Yan.
"Yes." Nodding, Xiao Yan casually pulled out a chair and sat down, staring at the smiling Fa Ma quietly. After a while, he chuckled and said: "Pharaoh, just tell me if you have something to say. If it is within the scope of your strength, Yan Xiao
I shouldn’t refuse.”
"Haha, I guess you can guess that the main reason why I asked you to come with me is because I want you to win the championship." Fa Ma said with a smile.
"I also really want to be the champion, but..." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
"I know..." Nodding, Fa Ma stroked his beard and muttered: "Tomorrow's round of competition, the test questions do not have much mystery. Basically, they need to rely on their true abilities and trump cards."
"That round of competition is all based on free play. Everything, including materials, must be prepared by yourself... In other words, the guild will not give out any more prescriptions for tomorrow's assessment. It depends on whether you have it in your own collection.
A suitable prescription within the limit of your ability... At the same time, on the premise of having the prescription, you must also have enough materials to refine this elixir in your bag. If not... then it can only be counted on you.
Bad luck." Fa Ma spread his hands and said with a joking smile.
His mouth slowly opened, and after a while, Xiao Yan couldn't help but curse. If Fa Ma didn't reveal it to him in advance today, then for tomorrow's assessment, the highest-level prescriptions he could refine would be those that Yao Lao occasionally spread.
It is a third-grade prescription, but it is obviously difficult for prescriptions of this level to surpass those of Yanli, Little Princess, and Liu Ling who have extremely rich collections.
"Although this kind of assessment is a bit biased towards luck, luck is also a kind of strength, so..." Fa Ma smiled and said: "According to my guess, Yanli should have a collection of fourth-grade prescriptions.
And considering his status as the vice-president, the materials should be complete."
"Fourth grade? With his strength, he should be able to refine fifth grade elixirs, right?" Xiao Yan frowned.
"It's possible, but the failure rate is too high, so it's obviously not suitable for that kind of competition."
"But... even if it's the fourth grade... I don't seem to be able to do anything about it. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me for being shabby. The prescriptions I have on my body now that can be refined within the scope of my strength are only at the highest level of the third grade... and many of them are raw materials.
Not complete." Xiao Yan sighed.
"Haha, I can guess that..." Fa Ma smiled and nodded, looking at Xiao Yan: "I asked you to come, naturally I need you to be better than Yan Li, so I can help with the prescription and materials.
You solve it, but... the premise is that you must be confident in refining it!"
"...Then I need to take a rough look at what level the prescription is and what the requirements are." Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a little happy. With the financial resources of the Alchemist Guild, the prescriptions produced will definitely not be those ordinary things.
, if you can learn it for free, it will naturally be a windfall.
"The prescriptions will definitely not disappoint you. Although this prescription is only of the fourth grade, in terms of value, it will definitely not be lower than the fifth grade prescription, or even more..." Fa Ma smiled faintly.
, after getting up and walking into the bookshelf, after a while, he slowly walked out holding a scroll as black as ink.
"Here, let's take a look. I think you will like it." Touching the simple surface of the scroll, Fa Ma smiled and handed it over.
Taking the scroll with both hands, Xiao Yan carefully spread it out. His eyes slowly scanned some of the information recorded on the surface of the scroll. After a while, he took a breath...
