Looking up at the flying round pill, Xiao Yan's face was calm, with a stroke of his palm, a suction force pulled it into the palm of his palm.
At the moment when the pill was started, the last few grains of sand in the huge hourglass finally poured down completely. Suddenly, on the big square, there were hundreds of red rays of light, from those that were still unrefined. The stone platform in front of the pharmacist of the finished medicine pill lit up.
Looking disappointedly at the flashing red light in front of them, the pharmacists had to shook their heads with a wry smile, and then retracted their respective medicine cauldrons, heading towards the outside of the square with a dejected face.
Standing behind the blue platform, Xiao Yan looked at the contestants who had dropped out one after another, looking around, a bit surprised to find that this was only the first round of assessment, and it turned out to be a third of the contestants. Being eliminated, this really made him have to sigh, the strictness and harshness of the conference.
Playing with the pill in his hand, Xiao Yan turned his head, and cast his gaze to Liu Ling, who was now smiling and throwing the pill in his hand with a triumphant expression. Xiao Yan looked over. He held the pill steadily in his hand and smiled at him: "Mr. Yan Xiao, luck is pretty good. It turned out that the pill was refined at the last moment... You are the best in the internal test. Oh, if you can’t even pass this level, it’s really a big joke."
Glancing at Liu Ling's seductive appearance, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, and said, "Anyway, as long as this thing is refined, it will pass. The first and last moments seem to be the same..."
"Mr. Yan Xiao's words are a bit self-deceiving. It is also an undeniable ability to refine the pill at the fastest speed in this conference where countless outstanding alchemists participate." Liu Ling With a smile, he naturally didn't want Xiao Yan to subtract his grades in a word.
"Haha, maybe..." Shrugging, Xiao Yan stopped bothering to speak with him, turned his head and smiled with the little princess on the side and arched his hands, then raised his head to look at Fajun above the VIP table and waited. His opening.
"call…"
On the VIP table. Otto breathed heavily. Wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve robe. Frank smiled bitterly at the side with a cold sweat on his face: "This guy. No matter what. He always likes to be so thrilling. Doesn't he know to think about us old guys? Such a thrilling thing. We don’t have as good a heart as his."
Frank also smiled bitterly. certainly. Aside from the wry smile, there was some rejoicing: "But it's okay. I finally finished the test at the last minute. Otherwise. The best scorer in the internal test. It turns out that I can't even pass the first level. That's good. What a shame..."
Hear the words. Otto nodded in sympathy. If so. That's fun. He just rolls up the bedding and returns to Black Rock City...
Fa Ma stood at the front desk. Condescendingly overlooking the huge square. His eyes moved slightly. Looking at the contestants who have been washed out by one third. Nodded with a chuckle. Slightly weakened hands. Noisy venue. Suddenly it gradually became quiet.
"Congratulations to you still standing in the square. Successfully passed the first round of the general test. However. This is not completely over yet..." Fazhen smiled and said, "You must know it. Some sly little guys. I always like it. Do something inexplicable. They may also succeed in refining a seemingly rounded pill. However. That kind of pill without the slightest healing effect. Basically, it has nothing to do with the word pill. So. Then. Come down. We are testing the "Bone Pill" you refined. Whether it meets the prescription requirements..."
Fa Ma's voice was slightly hoarse. Slowly sounded in everyone's ears: "Now. Contestants, please. Look for a green button in the lower left corner of your bluestone platform. Then press it."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan swept his gaze on the stone platform, and finally stayed in the not-so-obtrusive corner in the lower left corner. He was a little surprised to find that there were a few small buttons of different colors scattered around. , The finger rested on the green button in accordance with the words, and Xiao Yan lightly pressed it.
As the button was pressed, the smooth bluestone platform suddenly trembled slightly. On the platform, a stone slab protruded slowly. After it was raised half a foot, the stone slab on the surface was slightly sunken, finally revealing a small slab. Black hole.
"This is a testing machine. Put the "Bone Pill" you refined into it. If it meets the requirements, the jade mirror in front of the stage will light up in green, and if it doesn't, it will be red. It means failure. The outcome of failure is exit... In addition, the stronger the green light, it means that the "Bone Pill" he refined is most in line with the special effects recorded in the prescription. On the contrary, the more red light...that means …What you have refined is not "Bone Pill" at all, but a kind of meatballs that have no effect at all. Of course, if it can satisfy your hunger, it still has some effect..."
Hearing the humorous laughter resounding over the square, there was a burst of laughter in the audience and VIP seats, but in the square, there were many alchemists whose faces suddenly changed...
"Hehe, okay, everyone, let's get started..."
Gently pinching the perfect round pill with his fingers, Xiao Yan calmly looked at the dark opening of the testing machine, but did not rush into it, but instead swept his gaze around.
At this time, a pharmacist began to put the pill in his hand. Soon after the pill was put into the testing machine, the empty square suddenly became colorful, with strong or weak green and red lights. Intertwined and twinkled, and imprinted with joy and gloom...
"Damn, shit testing machine..." A second-rank alchemist, his face gloomily glared at the jade mirror with red glow. The red glow there is almost the richest place in the entire square. Therefore, countless The stunned eyes were all cast on this gloomy young man.
With his fist slammed on the stone platform, the pharmacist took the medicine cauldron into the ring, and then under countless gazes, he cursed and stepped down from the stage, with a sullen face, gritted his teeth and headed out of the square. .
"Fuck, do some messy assessments... Seriously refining pills will kill people? A group of old immortal guys... Thanks to my painstaking effort to stuff the medicinal materials together, you actually gave me a test, damn it. …Give a prescription, except for the name
There is no information, make a ghost..."
Looking at the second-grade pharmacist walking out in front of him, Xiao Yan couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard the extremely uncomfortable curse in his mouth. Unexpectedly, this kind of treasure could also pass the thrilling test before. .
Following this round of quizzes, at least nearly a hundred alchemists left the square with their faces green or blush.
"Haha, Mr. Yan Xiao, let's go together..." The little princess threw the pill 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 rivalry had a strong sense of competition in his eyes...
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.
With the input of the three-person pill, immediately, countless eyes are cast on this most eye-catching position. Everyone wants to know that these three are obviously seed-level players, who practiced them. The medicinal pill made out will be even better...
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The jade mirror was slightly silent. After an instant, a faint muffled sound rang, and three bright green light beams burst out of the stone platform in front of the three of them. The color density was obviously higher than that of any previous venue. Green light must appear rich.
Three green lights, the left is slightly lighter, the right is slightly better, and the green beam in the middle is already as green as emerald, and the color is extremely attractive.
"Wow... what a thick color." Looking at the emerald-like beam of light in the middle, above the auditorium, there were endless voices of surprise.
"Hehe, Mr. Yan Xiao really has a good idea. Although the time is the longest, the special effects of this pill are the best. Yue'er is willing to go down." Mei Mou looked at the emerald beam of light in front of Xiao Yan in surprise, the little princess. He shook his head and sighed.
"It's just a fluke."
Xiao Yan smiled casually, turned his head to see Liu Ling's slightly gloomy face, shrugged, and chuckled: "Sorry, Mr. Liu Ling."
Liu Ling twitched the corners of her mouth, took a deep breath, turned her head, staring at the jade mirror shining with green light, suddenly there was an urge to smash it.
"Hehe, it's really Yan Xiao a little bit better." Fa Ma chuckled as he looked at the three bright pillars of light in the square.
"If it wasn't for that little fellow Zi Huo's sudden disappearance, I must have rushed to refine the pill in front of Liu Ling. Hey, I've said long ago that this kid's medicine refining skills are not these hairy boys. It's comparable." Haibodong smiled triumphantly.
Fajun smiled. Just about to speak, his face suddenly changed slightly. He made a soft huh in his mouth, his eyes swept across the huge square, and finally stayed in a remote corner where a whole body was wrapped. The figure in the gray robe was slowly putting the pill in his hand into the testing machine.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Fajun's reaction, Jia Lao was taken aback for a while, and asked suspiciously.
"That person..." The old eyes were slightly narrowed, and the turbid eyes flickered. Fa Ma's fingers lightly tapped on the guardrail, and he whispered: "That guy, it seems a bit strong..."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Hai Bodong and Jia Lao were a little surprised. They cast their eyes on the gray-robed man in an instant, frowned and said in confusion, "I didn't find anything wrong?"
"You are not a pharmacist, 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. It’s in the square below. In the middle, 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, his eyes tight. Staring below, after a moment, on the stone platform in front of the gray-robed man, a bright green beam of light suddenly burst out, and its brightness almost faintly surpassed Xiao Yan's green light.
The sudden strong green light almost instantly attracted the sight from above the square. When everyone saw that the person who created such a beam of light was actually a man in gray robes who had been shrunk in a remote corner, they couldn't help but His face was full of consternation.
The sudden green light also attracted the eyes of the three Xiao Yan. Looking at the beam of light that was even stronger than his own, Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly, looking Looking at the mysterious person who wrapped his whole body in a gray robe, he did not expect that at this moment, such a great person would appear inexplicably, and looking at his body shape and standing position, it was obviously not those who participated in the internal test that day. people…
"Is it a free pharmacist?" Xiao Yan pursed his mouth slightly and stared at the gray-robed man. He felt that this mysterious gray-robed man would probably be him in this meeting. The toughest opponent.
As if perceiving Xiao Yan's gaze, the gray-robed man lifted his head slightly, revealing a pale and tender face. Under the cover of the hat, a pair of eyes shining with pale blue light, with a few cold, faint gazes. The former.
"Who is this guy?" Looking at the powerful opponent that suddenly emerged in amazement, the little princess and Liu Ling both looked at each other in surprise, and looked at each other with blank faces.
"Chelsea, give me his information..." Fa-Mun suddenly turned his head to face Chelsea and said solemnly.
When Fa Ma made a surprised sound earlier, Chelsea was aware that something was wrong, and quickly recognized the position number of the gray-robed man, and then took out a stack of documents from the ring, quickly flipping it, and after a while, the flipping gradually Stop, a piece of thin paper recorded information appeared. The portrait painted on it was the mysterious gray-robed man, but this time the gray-robed man had a clear close-up of his face. It was a picture. With a pair of blue eyes and a pale and cold face of a teenager, it seems that he is only about sixteen or seventeen, so small that makes people feel a little weird...
Passing the information to Fajun, the latter frowned slightly and read it carefully. After a while, his face changed and said, "Is it the alchemist of the Izumo Empire?"
Strictly speaking, the Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire are hostile countries that often fought against each other, and because the Izumo Empire’s mortal enemy occupation of the Alchemist: "Poison Master" was very popular, this also made the Garma Empire’s orthodox Alchemist. We have a bad impression of them. Of course, the most important thing is that whenever the two countries go to war, the "poison masters" will use those extremely indiscriminate methods to release drugs in various places.
Powder, venom, and every battle, the number of soldiers who died in the Gama Empire was extremely shocking.
In addition, in the Izumo Empire, the alchemists in their country did not oppose the poison masters very much, and some even cooperated with each other, so this also caused the alchemists of the Gama Empire to betray these alchemists who almost betrayed the purpose of the alchemy world. Guy, very angry and disdainful.
And because of this, when Fa Ma saw that the mysterious gray-robed man turned out to be from the Izumo Empire, his face would be a little ugly.
"How does it say that it is a second-grade pharmacist? With the soul power I sensed before, that guy is at least a fourth-grade pharmacist!" Fa Yu frowned as he glanced at the level recorded in the information.
"A seventeen-year-old fourth-grade pharmacist? President, do you think this is possible? No matter how talented he is, after all, pharmacy requires time and accumulation of experience." Chelsea smiled bitterly.
"My induction can't go wrong..." Fa Ma shook his head, staring at the immature face, for some reason, he always felt that this face was a little weird.
"Could it be that he came here easily? Looking at his proficient technique in refining pills, it is extremely unlike a teenager that can have." Fa Ma muttered in a low voice.
"It is naturally impossible to escape our detection if you change your face." Jia Lao smiled faintly. When he said this, the corner of his eye was swept towards the position of Xiao Yan at the bottom of the square without a trace. Sweeping, it seemed that he had also discovered Xiao Yan's disguise, but for some reason, it had not been exposed.
"But that guy hid himself tightly. In this kind of competition, it's hard to suspend the meeting and let him lift the hat? Then others will say that the Alchemist Guild of our Gama Empire is too overbearing. And rude.” Fa Ma said helplessly when he saw the man in gray robes who covered his head tightly.
"He refuses to open it, let us help him..." Hai Bodong stood up, came to Fa Ma's side, and laughed in a low voice.
"You... won't be discovered?" Hearing this, Fa Ma's expression moved, and he hesitated immediately.
"Hey, although my strength has degraded a bit now, but I control the cold current and unknowingly freeze the fragile head robe into powder. I can still do this with this ability..." Haibodong said with a light smile, he was naturally Knowing that if an apothecary from the Izumo Empire wins the championship at the Alchemist Conference of the Gama Empire, it will be a shame for Defa Ma and others.
"This kind of thing that requires subtle manipulation is really the most suitable for Old Man Hai's ice type vindictiveness. My vindictiveness attribute is biased towards domineering, cracking mountains and cracking rocks, suitable, now, no..." Jia Lao shook his head and said.
"Alright... Then please." Fazhen nodded slightly and said in a low voice.
With a smile, Haibodong's eyes gradually narrowed, and his dry fingers stretched out his sleeves, flicking slightly, and with the flicking of his fingers, faint strange fluctuations quietly spread.
When Hai Bo Dong secretly acted, Jia Lao and Fa Ma got closer to him, seeming to be discussing something, but they happened to cut off the sight of the surroundings.
"It seems that something has happened in the conference..." If the concubine Ya's eyes looked deeply at the three people of Hai Bodong not far in front, she whispered. With the eyesight that she has cultivated for so many years, she is naturally able to It was discovered that since the previous strong green light appeared, Fa Ma's face was slightly unsightly, and Chelsea's move to look through the documents later confirmed something.
"Well... that mysterious man in gray robes seems to have broken the order of the conference." Yaoye and Nalan nodded slightly. They weren't the vases they were looking at. What Yafei could find, both of them did. Nothing is missed.
"The "Bone Pill" refined by that gray-robed man seems to be even better than Yan Xiao and the three of them... I originally thought that this tournament was the three of them competing for the championship, but it was unexpected now. Running out of such a dark horse..." Ya Fei frowned her delicate eyebrows and said helplessly in her heart.
…
A faint cold current shuttled quietly in the air. After a while, it lingered in the sky above the mysterious gray-robed man without a trace, like a few strands of ice snakes invisible to the naked eye, quietly confiding.
At this time, the gray-robed man was slowly packing up the things on the stone surface. At a certain moment, his moving palm suddenly stiffened, and the blue eyes under the gray robe shrank suddenly. Want to retreat.
"Huh, where to go?" Looking at the gray-robed man who seemed to have discovered the cold current, Hai Bodong was also a little surprised, and immediately sneered, his palms suddenly clenched: "Broken!"
"Boom!"
With Haibodong's palm tightly gripped, the gray-robed man who was just about to move, the hat above his head suddenly turned into a piece of powder, and then poured down.
The hat disappeared, and the immature face hidden under it suddenly appeared under the gaze of countless eyes. At the moment, in the auditorium and VIP seats, there was a sound of air-conditioning. No one expected this. The person who achieved the best results in the first round would be such an immature boy...
The young man with blue eyes stretched out his hand to touch the hat that had disappeared. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and directed his icy eyes to the three Haibodong at the front desk of the VIP seat.
"This guy is definitely not simple. Not only can I spot my cold current, but also my position..." He squinted his eyes and looked at the gray-robed boy. Hai Bodong rubbed his chin and sneered: " Although I don’t know why he has this immature teenage face, but if he is really only 17 years old as stated in the information, then Haibodong, I don’t have to continue to come out, just go to live in seclusion..."
Fa Ma and Jia Lao narrowed their eyes and nodded slowly.
"This conference seems to be interesting..."
