Xiao Yan was very interested in what Fa Ma said, or in other words, he was extremely interested in letting Dan King Gu He join the Yan League. Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, he asked Fa Ma to lead the way and bring Shanghai Bodong with him.
He rushed directly to the place where Furukawa lived.
After the Yunlan Sect was disbanded, Furukawa naturally left Yunlan Mountain, but he did not leave the Gama Empire. Instead, he chose to live in seclusion in a secluded mountain range not far from Yunlan Mountain, and there, too
This is the purpose of Xiao Yan and his party's trip.
The place where Gu He lived in seclusion was not very far from the imperial capital. At the speed of Xiao Yan and others, it took about half an hour to arrive. With Fa Ma's guidance, they easily found the place hidden in the mountains and forests.
A hut.
Here, Xiao Yan also met an acquaintance from the past, that is, Liu Ling, who had won the championship with him at the alchemist conference in the imperial capital, and the latter was obviously confused by the sudden appearance of these few people.
He was stunned for a moment, and when his eyes turned to Xiao Yan's face, he said in shock: "Xiao Yan? What are you doing here?"
Regarding Xiao Yan, Liu Ling had a rather complicated feeling in her heart. She thought that the two of them were similar back then, but now, he is still just a fourth-grade alchemist who is working hard to reach the fifth-grade level, while the former
He already has the strength to compete with his teacher Furukawa. This gap naturally makes him feel a little decadent.
"Haha, Brother Liu, please inform Master Furukawa and tell Xiao Yan to ask for a meeting." Xiao Yan smiled at Liu Ling and said politely.
Hearing Xiao Yan's polite words, Liu Ling hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. He nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards the hut. He was also quite clear about Xiao Yan's current status in the Jia Ma Empire, and naturally he also knew it.
Now he is no longer the young man with little background.
Watching Liu Ling enter the hut, Xiao Yan and others glanced around, and then nodded secretly. This ancient river really knows how to choose a place. It is remote and inaccessible. Generally, few people can come here to stay in seclusion and watch.
It's a good place to come.
While several people were looking around, the door of the thatched hut slowly opened. Immediately, a figure walked out slowly, looked at Xiao Yan and others indifferently, and said: "How can you find this place? It seems that now Yan
The Alliance's forces are indeed spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire, but I don't know if they are here to cause trouble today, or if there is something else?"
The person who appeared was naturally the Dan King Furukawa who had disappeared for a long time. Behind him, Liu Ling also stood with a bow and glanced at Xiao Yan and others, as if he was somewhat confused about the purpose of their trip.
"You guy, you still look that annoying." Hearing this, Fa Ma couldn't help but shook his head and cursed with a smile.
"You old guy must have brought people here." Gu He glanced at Fa Ma, then his eyes fell on Xiao Yan, and said calmly: "Leader of the Yan Alliance, please tell me if you have anything to say. I still have a piece of medicine today.
The field is not taken care of, and if nothing happens, I won’t stay with you for a long time.”
"Elder Fa Ma said that Master Furukawa is not a small-minded person. In this case, I will not be secretive. The main reason for coming here this time is to invite the master to join the Yanmeng Dantang." Xiao Yan smiled slightly,
He didn't talk about irrelevant things, he just got straight to the point. He knew that for a person like Furukawa, speaking in a cryptic and hesitant way would make the other person impatient.
"Join the Flame Alliance?" Hearing this, a strange look suddenly appeared on Furukawa's face, and then he waved his hands lazily and said: "Forget it, I like this life very much now, so I won't join in the fun and noise among those big forces.
Being noisy makes people irritated."
"Oh, you guy... didn't you enter the "Alchemy Pagoda" to practice first? The potential of the Alchemy Hall today is far greater than that of the Alchemist Guild. If you can join, this wish will not be difficult in the future." See.
Like this, Fa Ma couldn't help but said helplessly.
"Old guy... don't tempt me with this. Don't you really think that I have no other way to enter the "Dan Tower"? If I hadn't thought that I was from the Gama Empire, I could just leave here and rely on my alchemy skills.
, do you think there are other powerful alchemist organizations that can recruit me?" Furukawa curled his lips and sneered.
"Uh..." Hearing this, Fa Ma couldn't help but feel dumb and looked at Xiao Yan with some embarrassment. He naturally knew that with Furukawa's alchemy skills, even if he looked at Dou Qi Continent, wherever he went, there would definitely be people recruiting him.
After all, the sixth-grade alchemist is not the kind of guy who is everywhere.
Seeing this condition that Fa Ma described as a big temptation, but it turned out not to be attractive to Furukawa at all, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little speechless. This old guy is really unreliable...
Seeing Xiao Yan like this, Fa Ma's face became even more embarrassed.
"Master Furukawa, you don't have much interest in other alchemist organizations outside the empire. In that case, why don't you consider the Flame Alliance? Is it because of the gap between you and me?" His eyes turned to Furukawa,
Xiao Yan said slowly.
Looking at Xiao Yan with slightly narrowed eyes, Gu He suddenly said in a calm voice: "You really want me to join the Yan League?"
"With Master Furukawa's alchemy skills, I don't think any force will let it go." Xiao Yan spread his hands and said with a smile.
"It's not impossible to want me to go with you, but you have to agree to a condition." His eyes slowly swept over Xiao Yan. After a moment, Furukawa narrowed his eyes and said.
"What conditions?" Xiao Yan raised his brows and did not agree immediately, but asked cautiously.
"Try a medicine refining competition with me! If you win, then I will join the Flame Alliance, how about that?" Gu He looked at Xiao Yan with burning eyes, and a touch of enthusiasm suddenly surged in his words, as he felt that he had lost to Xiao Yan in the competition.
He has always been a little bit worried about the matter. Today, he really wants to use his best medicine refining skills to compete with Xiao Yan again.
After hearing what Furukawa said, except for Xiao Yan, the faces of everyone present changed a little. Everyone in the Jiama Empire knew Furukawa's alchemy skills. Compared with his alchemy skills, even Fa Madu
There's not much certainty.
"You guy, what about other conditions? With your seniority, competing with Xiao Yan in medicine is a bit bullying." Fa Ma frowned and said.
Furukawa ignored his words and just stared at Xiao Yan who was groaning. He said: "Bullying people? Since I lost to him last time, I have never regarded him as anything else."
Junior, old guy, don't tell me, do you dare to treat this guy as a junior? In my opinion, I'm afraid his alchemy skills are not inferior to yours."
Hearing this, Fa Ma curled his lips. He had seen Xiao Yan refining elixirs many times recently. Naturally, he knew very clearly what level Xiao Yan's alchemy skills had reached, at least from some superficial aspects.
Look, Xiao Yan's alchemy skills are not inferior to his.
"Xiao Yan, what do you think? Have a competition with me. If you win, I will join the Flame Alliance. If you lose, don't bother me again in the future." Looking at Xiao Yan calmly, Furukawa said calmly.
road.
Under the gazes of several people around him, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, nodded lightly, and said: "Since Master Furukawa has this idea, Xiao Yan will just accompany him. I just hope that after the winner is decided,
Don’t look for other excuses.”
"As expected of the Lord of the Yan Alliance, no alchemist in the Jiama Empire has dared to say such things to me for many years." Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Furukawa smiled instead of getting angry. He then raised his hand and said with a smile: "In that case
, then please come into the house, old man Fa Ma, you can wait outside, Liu Ling, take care of them."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the hut first, and then, Xiao Yan did not hesitate and quickly raised his heels.
Watching the two people walking into the hut and then closing the door tightly, Fa Ma and Hai Bodong could only helplessly shake their heads. The latter sat down on a stone mill and murmured: "Old guy, what do you mean?
Which of them has a better chance of winning?"
Hearing this, Fa Ma also shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can I say this? Gu He is naturally unique in being called the King of Alchemy, and that kid Xiao Yan is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. From this period of time, he
Judging from the occasional refining of elixirs, I am afraid that I am at the level of a sixth-grade alchemist, so... the ending is hard to say."
Liu Ling, who was carefully pouring tea for the two of them, heard Fa Ma's words. The teapot in his hand suddenly trembled. The tea was tilted on the stone mill beside him. He turned his head and looked at the closed door with horror.
He never imagined that after seeing him for just a few years, the young man who was still just a young alchemist would now reach the same level as his teacher...
"I wonder if the teacher can beat him?"
This so-called alchemy competition lasted for two full days. Outsiders did not know what a fierce competition Xiao Yan and Furukawa went through during these two days. However, bursts of elixir fragrance continued to pour out from the thatched hut.
From the looks of it, it can be guessed that this competition is not as easy as imagined.
And while the three of them were dealing with each other bitterly, on the evening of the second day, the closed door of the thatched hut finally opened happily, and two slightly embarrassed figures walked out slowly.
As soon as they saw the two people appear, Fa Ma and the other three almost jumped up and asked impatiently: "Who won?"
Neither Xiao Yan nor Furukawa said the answer to this competition. However, on the second day after Xiao Yan and the others returned, Furukawa took Liu Ling and left the place where they had lived in seclusion for about a year.
The place they were going to was the imperial capital.
When Gu He announced that he had joined the Flame Alliance, Fa Ma and Hai Bodong felt a little awe-inspiring in their hearts. They looked at the smiling young man in black robe with a hint of disbelief. It seemed that in that competition, this guy had indeed achieved something.
The upper hand...
With the addition of Furukawa, the strength of Dantang naturally became more and more powerful. With Furukawa's example, some free alchemists in the empire also began to choose to join Dantang one after another. For a time, Dantang
The scale is expanding rapidly...
And about a month after Furukawa announced that he would join the Dantang, Xiao Yan, who had nothing to do, finally received a messenger bird from the Izumo Empire. He took off the letter and slowly unfolded it.
After opening the door, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed.
"The people from the Soul Palace are here, come quickly!"
