Yaoluo, Chihuo, Qingjun and a group followed Grandmaster Heine to the capital of Zhongzhou - Ancheng. Eleven people went all the way to post stations and teleportation points. Half a month had passed before they knew it. [`fiction`]
Zhongzhou State is located to the east of Dahong Country, and it is one of the few countries in the Suzaku Continent that does not border the Scarlet Demon Sea. Because the territory is close to the center of the Suzaku Continent, it has been habitually called "Zhongzhou" over time.
Because the land is not bordered by the Demon Realm, the people of Zhongzhou have lived a comfortable life without war for generations.
Although it can't compete for all kinds of minerals and phantom beast materials in the sea of magic like the Dahong Empire and the Yun Kingdom, it should be a small and impoverished country.
However, due to its unique geographical and climate advantages, Zhongzhou has developed a sect whose position in the entire world cannot be shaken by any country, and its national power has also become one of the nine powerful countries in the Suzaku Continent.
This sect, which can affect the development of hundreds of countries in the entire continent, is called the Suzaku Apothecary Association.
After following Grandmaster Heine to this oriental country, Enchanting not only appreciates the magnificent and classical architectural style of Zhongzhou, but also is deeply attracted by the country's rich medicinal resources.
The lush shrubs growing on both sides of the road may be a kind of healing herb that is priceless in the Dahong Empire. Those flowers randomly planted by farmers in the courtyard to decorate the color may be the raw material of a precious treasure pill that is worth a hundred gold in the auction market...
In Grandmaster Heine's own words: "The country of Zhongzhou is the paradise of pharmacists. And Ancheng, the capital of the country, is the paradise of heavens."
Is this really a paradise for pharmacists
Yao Yao, who was eating with Chi Huo and Qing Jun in the tavern in Ancheng, began to officially doubt the authenticity of this sentence.
On the upper floor of her seat, a group of pharmacists dressed like playboys were annoyingly discussing loudly about the upcoming hundred-nation pharmacist competition in a booming tavern. The piercing and loud voice spread to every corner of the tavern.
"Ah, the hundred-nation pharmacist competition is about to start again in our Zhongzhou country. Brother Mo, your family also has ginseng?" A skinny young man with a wretched expression rubbed his hands flatteringly, flattering the young man sitting on the main seat .
"Of course, my Mo family has practiced alchemy for generations, and there are no less than a hundred great pharmacists. Now there are two medicine sects sitting in the elder seat of the Pharmacist Association at the same time. How could it be possible that there is no representative to participate in the hundred-country pharmacist competition? With our Mo family in Zhongzhou, Those so-called pharmacists from other countries can only stand aside! They are not worthy to lift our shoes... "
Sitting in the most important position among the seats is a handsome man in yellow. Although his facial features are distinct and heroic, there is an unconcealable frivolity between his brows and eyes, which ruins the picture of his father and mother. Good looks.
Coupled with his arrogant tone, people immediately lost their appetite for food.
Forget about arrogance, he actually downplayed all the top pharmacists from hundreds of countries in Suzaku Continent, and he wasn't afraid of being heard. I really don't know how such an arrogant person survived the age of eighteen safely with sound limbs!
Although there are many talented pharmacists in Zhongzhou, it is not possible that every member of the Mo family is better than pharmacists from other countries! What an overconfident arrogance!
"Hehe! Brother Mo is right!"
Sitting next to "Brother Mo" in yellow was a man in white with a moonlike face, holding a jade fan and gently tapping on the table:
"It's a pity that Brother Mo is already twenty-eight years old today, otherwise the place in the Mo family must be reserved for Brother Mo, right? I don't know how Brother Mo's cultivation of supreme spirit is going?"
"Hmph!" Mo Lian coldly snorted twice from his nose.
"Brother Gao, you really know what to ask, you still don't know how far I have refined my Sovereign Cauldron Qi?"
"The top spot in the hundred-country pharmacist competition has been won by Zhongzhou for 20 consecutive years. Don't think that I want to participate in that boring pharmacist competition. Participating in this competition is just to attack incompetent pharmacists from other countries. The level is simply cruder than squatting on the ground and pinching a mud ball, winning this kind of garbage is like playing, it doesn't arouse my interest at all!"
While speaking arrogantly, Mo Lian swept across the crowded tavern lobby with unscrupulous eyes.
What an arrogant man!
How dare he say that hundreds of the best pharmacists selected from Suzaku Land are like rubbish in his eyes!
Because of the insane remarks made by the people at their table, the lobby that was still full of voices just now was completely silent at this time, only the occasional sporadic sound of chopsticks clashing, which sounded particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.
In fact, the Hundred Nations Pharmacist Contest is about to start, and many pharmacists from other countries have already come to the capital of Zhongzhou State - Ancheng. At this time, Yaoluo was in the largest tavern in the center of Ancheng City. The upper and lower floors were already full of people who came to eat at noon, and there were many young people wearing various pharmacist robes.
These pharmacists who came all the way from other countries, after hearing what the arrogant man said, put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, and looked angrily at the man in yellow with a sneer on the corner of his mouth!
Under such circumstances, the only one who can eat a big meal is a boy in a black robe and mask sitting in the corner.
"Eat your meal, or give me your chicken legs." Yaoluo kicked Chi Huo hard under the table.
Chi Huo was so angry that his face was purpler than a pig's liver when the man in yellow satirized the pharmacists from other countries. The chopsticks in his hand were pinched into two pieces unconsciously.
After half a month of guidance from Grandmaster Heine, his average alchemy level has also increased to around the fifth rank. Don't think that the fifth grade is just the intermediate level of the nine pills. A pharmacist in his twenties has already reached the level of an intermediate great pharmacist. The future of Chi Huo is limitless!
Hearing the provocation from the man in yellow, Chi Huo's lungs exploded, but the "Konitie" opposite him only wanted to grab chicken legs from him!
"Aren't you angry? Bastard! You're still not a man!"
Chi Huo angrily snatched back the chicken legs in the enchanting bowl with the chopsticks that were only half left in his hand.
man
I am not a man, Jia Baoyu, from the Yamen of the Red Chamber! And if it's a man, should he rush up angrily and beat up the man in yellow
Forget it, there are many such arrogant people in this world, they are even more tenacious than Xiao Qiang, killing a male and raising a group. If you can see it all, then it's okay? I've already pissed myself off.
Thinking of this, Enchanting gave Chi Huo an angry look, and continued to eat with his head down.
"Are you really not angry? It's really strange." Qing Jun shook his head and continued to eat calmly.
Having seen the scene where "Connie Iron" went berserk on Snake Island, he originally thought that this tough girl disguised as a man would immediately set a fire to burn the whole table of the nonsense man in yellow into hairless chickens! But he didn't expect that at this bloody moment, she would be the most calm person in the audience. This girl's character is really confusing!
"It's not surprising, it's not surprising, because the food in this family is so delicious, I don't have time to talk to them. Eat, if you don't want to eat, let me eat." Enchanting gulped her mouth and said vaguely.
For the sake of the delicious food in front of her, she could barely bear the noise in her ears.
"Hahahaha! Brother Mo really has a good opinion! As expected of being a direct descendant of the Mo family, although the younger brother has just been promoted to a great pharmacist and has the support of the elders of the family, he is always ashamed in front of Brother Mo!"
Such an evil-looking young man in white clothes laughed exaggeratedly and exaggeratedly bowed to the young man in yellow shirt next to him. It seemed that he was adding fuel to the fire, lest the world would not be chaotic!
"That's right! Brother Mo is so domineering!"
"Where is the domineering, this is the truth! Once the pharmacist of Zhongzhou Kingdom came out, alchemists in the world would never dare to look at the self-proclaimed pharmacist again, because they are not worthy, hahaha." Immediately, everyone echoed.
Among those who spoke was the skinny young man with a wretched expression who spoke at the beginning.
The content of the conversation at this table is getting more and more irritating! It seems that except for the pharmacist in Zhongzhou, everyone else is rubbish!
Everyone present finally noticed that the people at this table were obviously looking for faults in the most crowded place!
Led by the man surnamed Mo in yellow and the man surnamed Gao in white, Mo Lian in yellow was looking up and down the tavern with his arrogant eyes.
"No, I can beat them with just one finger, as many as I can." Mo Lian's expression was so haughty.
This Zhongzhou pharmacist is really deceiving people too much!
Do you think there are no masters in a hundred countries? Many pharmacists from other countries sitting in the lobby of the tavern have endured him for a long time.
The yellow-clothed Mo Lian didn't know how to restrain himself, ignoring everyone's angry gazes, and uttered nonsense! Provocatively raised his disgusting middle finger to the audience!
I thought that Zhongzhou was a paradise for pharmacists, but I didn't expect that local pharmacists in Zhongzhou looked down on their foreign counterparts so much!
Seeing his action, the pharmacists from other countries who were eating on the upper and lower floors of the tavern suddenly became excited!
Their anger has already made the atmosphere in the air suddenly dignified. Seeing this scene, some ordinary citizens who had nothing to do with the matter also flocked to the tavern, filling the entire tavern with water. Crying and waiting to see the excitement.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise on the second floor.
There was the sound of a chair being overturned, and finally someone couldn't help standing up.
"Pharmacists in Zhongzhou, don't be too arrogant! You bully me in Shang Kingdom! Fan Lin in Shang Kingdom is here! I would like to swear an oath to fight alchemy with you!" At the same time as the chair fell to the ground, a fire (forbidden words) full of medicinal smell The roar exploded in everyone's ears!
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
The man who lifted the table had a mighty figure, but the man in his early twenties had disheveled beard and hair, and his eyes were as sharp as a sharp knife that had just been sharpened.
This man is like a savage who has just stepped out of the barren mountains and deep valleys. He is wrapped in coarse linen clothes, with unkempt hair and long beard, but the hundreds of coarse cloth medicine bags on his waist are constantly emitting thick medicine gas!
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this man must be an extraordinary pharmacist!
The man from the Kingdom of Shang who called himself "Fan Lin" was looking at Zhongzhou pharmacist Mo Lian, who was half leaning on the wicker chair, with red eyes that were so angry.
"Look! It's Fan Lin, the pharmacist from the Kingdom of Shang!" Someone in the crowd obviously recognized the identity of the coarse pharmacist.
"Is it that Fan Lin who broke into the forbidden area of Snake Valley in the Kingdom of Shang alone to find medicine, and came out after being lost in it for three years?"
"It's that Fan Lin! Who said he lost his way in the forbidden area. When he entered three years ago, he was just an ordinary pharmacist with a level of alchemy at the ninth rank. After three years of hard training in the forbidden area, he was already a pharmacist when he came out. The pinnacle great pharmacist of the fourth grade of alchemy!"
The ranks of pharmacists are divided according to the average alchemy quality of pharmacists. The third rank is the first rank. Those who can refine ninth rank alchemy are called junior pharmacists, and those who can refine eighth rank alchemy are called intermediate pharmacists... Then the average alchemy quality is between four and four. Fan Lin, the pharmacist of Shang Dynasty, should be around the level of senior great pharmacists!
The strongest pharmacist under the age of twenty-five is nothing more than that! This Fan Lin is definitely a dark horse in this Hundred Nations Pharmacist Competition!
"Then Fan Lin is the strongest representative of the Kingdom of Shang in this hundred-country pharmacist competition! The man in yellow from Zhongzhou irritated him, so it would be nice to have him!" The pharmacists from other countries who recognized Fan Lin discussed excitedly.
"Fan Lin?" Mo Lian dragged his tone, teased casually with his earwax out: "I've never heard of it before? Where is this fan surnamed a mad dog?"
Fan Lin, who had just jumped up, saw this scene, and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"I'll fight with you for pills! Let's see who can produce the highest quality medicine pill within the time of a stick of incense!" Fan Lin sacrificed his own medicine cauldron and held it in his hand, his body was shaking with anger.
The medicine cauldron used by the seed (forbidden words) contestant of the Kingdom of Shang is indeed not ordinary!
From the moment the turquoise tripod appeared in Fan Lin's hands, there was a surging breath of life in the air.
Pharmacists who are good at refining life-like medicines like Grandmaster Heine account for 70% of the total number of pharmacists, but there are really few young pharmacists who hold such a medicine cauldron that suits their strengths.
As soon as the small green cauldron came out, even Yao Yao who had been lowering her head and muttering, couldn't help raising her head to look at it quietly. She was amazed by the aura of Fan Lin, the pharmacist of the Shang Kingdom, who perfectly matched his medicine cauldron.
Just like she is holding the reincarnation tripod, the resonance between human and tripod has reached the high-frequency realm of harmony between man and nature.
That Fan Lin from the Kingdom of Shang is indeed a powerful pharmacist who should not be underestimated.
"Dou Dan? Hahahahahaha!" Upon hearing that Fan Lin's request was for Dou Dan, Mo Lian laughed at the dozen or so people at the table, especially the man surnamed Gao in white, who was especially trembling with his smile. The jade fan he was holding could not be held and fell to the ground.
"Let's fight for alchemy, but at the same time as fighting for alchemy, we must also fight for qi!" Mo Lian blinked his eyes, as if he didn't feel the unbreakable qi between Fan Lin and his medicine cauldron at all. .
The so-called Ding Qi is a specific manifestation of the spiritual power of a senior pharmacist in the process of refining medicine.
Just like when Grandmaster Heine asked tens of thousands of pharmacists to refine medicine at the same time in Lieyan Square, if a pharmacist with strong mental power does not have to worry about the medicine in his cauldron being affected by other messy auras, because the pharmacist and the medicine cauldron emanate The great aura is enough to isolate the influence of any external environment.
If Yao Yao had already received special training from Grandmaster Heine when she was in Lieyan Square, then even if she didn't borrow Chi Huo's tyrannical medicine at that time, she could still concoct various peaceful medicines without any interference.
Just pay attention to the use of mental power when refining medicine. Now she already understood the true meaning of "Ding Qi".
Moreover, this kind of Ding Qi can even be transformed into an attack power during alchemy, purposely attacking the alchemy effect of other pharmacists, so "Dou Ding Qi" is a more threatening way for pharmacists to compete.
So to put it bluntly, "Dou Ding Qi" is to see who has the energy to guide the mental power to interfere with the opponent's alchemy advancement in the process of tempering the elixir with mental power.
"Compare! Zhongzhou pharmacist, do Jingguantian! Do you think there are no strong people outside Zhongzhou?"
Fan Lin was obviously dizzy with anger, and said loudly to the arrogant Mo Lian: "Although I am not the strongest outside Zhongzhou, I am not the worst inside Zhongzhou either! Come on! Let's have a serious competition! Look outside Zhongzhou Aren't pharmacists all rubbish!"
The righteous words of this plain clothed pharmacist immediately drew cheers from most of the people present!
"Come on, Pharmacist Fan!"
"Get rid of him! Get rid of that pharmacist from Zhongzhou! Isn't it just a matter of strength! Who can't use it!"
With the backing of Great Pharmacist Fan Lin from the Kingdom of Shang, they will never be looked down upon by the bullshit pharmacists from the Kingdom of Zhongzhou!
"Then you can start." Mo Lian stood up, and also sacrificed his portable medicine cauldron. The meaning of silk master.
Without him saying anything, Fan Lin of the Kingdom of Shang had already asked Zi to skillfully take out a herbal medicine from the medicine pouch on his waist and add it to the small green cauldron suspended in front of him, and the cauldron energy between him and his own medicine cauldron It also became more and more intense, like a thick protective shield, covering the elixir being tempered in the cauldron layer by layer.
Different from Fan Lin's cautiousness, the brash Mo Lian just casually took out a withered and yellowed velvet weed from the pocket of the man surnamed Gao beside him, and threw it into his brass tripod.
Rabbit velvet grass is a common medicinal material that can be seen freely in the land of Zhongzhou country. It has the effect of stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis. If it is only used as a herbal medicine, at most it will be refined into an eight-grade pill.
No matter how much influence Mo Lian's cauldron has on Fan Lin, it's impossible to forcibly suppress the medicine in the cauldron of a senior pharmacist whose average alchemy level is at the fourth rank to below the eighth rank, right
Seeing Mo Lian's careless movement, everyone immediately became puzzled.
Could it be that this pharmacist surnamed Mo in yellow is a fool? He thinks that the level of pharmacists in other countries is too low, thinking that his Eighth Grade Pill is invincible
God! Still fighting against such a fool!
When I heard his crazy words just now, I thought he was very promising! I didn't expect to be such an ignorant idiot! It's so bloody! I was really angry with him for nothing!
Everyone present, including Fan Lin himself, felt that they had been fooled.
"hehe!"
Seeing the expressions of everyone in the tavern lobby from anger to disdain, a cruel smile appeared on Mo Lian's face.
He half-opened his eyes and looked at the commoner pharmacist from the Kingdom of Shang who was coming to challenge him, and the small brass cauldron in front of him, who was making sacrifices to the velvet weed, slowly let out a crisp sound.
It seems to be the normal spinning sound when offering alchemy.
Suddenly, a strangely powerful cauldron energy rushed from his cauldron to Fan Lin who was facing him! All the pharmacists on the second floor of the tavern were instantly stunned by the astonishing aura!
Oh my God! What's this? What level of pharmacist is this? How come the great power emitted when refining medicine is like a substantial attack? Yue Ling Jie!
Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Fan Lin's forehead! His knife-like eyes flickered with an expression of undecided shock!
how so? !
Generally, there is not much difference in mental strength between pharmacists with little difference in level, and Mo Lian in yellow clothes seems to be only at the level of a great pharmacist, why can he burst out with such an astonishing aura
The general tripod energy is invisible, but Mo Lian's brass tripod emits bursts of bright yellow fluctuations, as if there is 100% of the spare power left unused while sacrificing the rabbit velvet grass! All the powerful cauldron qi radiated in the air, ready to interfere with his alchemy process!
No!
Not interference! Under such a powerful oppressive force, it was an unreasonable attack!
I only heard an overwhelmed crisp sound from Fan Lin's green tripod!
"Crack! Boom!"
Under Mo Lian's aura, Pharmacist Fan Lin's medicine cauldron was destroyed!
Following the cracking of the small green cauldron, a cauldron of high-quality medicine pill that Fan Lin sacrificed exploded! And he himself was directly knocked down to the ground because of the powerful impact of Exploding Cauldron Explosive Pill, and rolled directly from the stairs on the second floor to the first floor!
Absolutely powerful explosive power!
It turned out that Mo Lian didn't need to sacrifice high-quality medicinal pills at all, because from the very beginning, he was going to smash Fan Lin's medicinal pills together with the pharmacist's more important furnace than life!
What a domineering method! What a cruel heart!
Rolling down the stairs, Fan Lin, who was bruised and swollen from the fall, rolled directly to Enchanting's feet.
He knocked over the dishes on the table, and the greasy soup dripped on his body, how embarrassing he looked!
The medicine cauldron is the most important thing for a pharmacist, like the first war beast that grows with the summoner, like the life-saving knife that the warrior never leaves his body! And Fan Lin's medicine cauldron, the strongest participating pharmacist in the Kingdom of Shang, was shattered by a dandy pharmacist with his cauldron before the competition!
Under such a big blow, Fan Lin no longer cared about the oil stains and scars on his body, and his gaze was dulled, obviously not recovering from the heavy blow of the explosion.
This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!
That was the mysterious medicinal cauldron that had followed him for many years, how could it be shattered so easily! But thinking of the astonishing aura Mo Lian erupted just now, Fan Lin couldn't help shivering violently.
"Hahahaha! I thought you were the strongest pharmacist from the Kingdom of Shang, but it's only at this level. Even a dog in our Zhongzhou Kingdom is ten times stronger than the pill you made! I can't stand it with such a small amount of energy. You still dare to provoke me? Go back to your Shang Kingdom early and don't come out to meet people in the future!"
Standing at the top of the stairs in the attic was a young man in yellow shirt with a haughty expression, who else could it be if it wasn't the arrogant Mo Lian who shattered Fan Lin's medicinal cauldron just now
Unexpectedly, this dandy disciple who looks like a rich and jaded man actually has some skills! That terrifying aura planted seeds of inferiority in everyone's hearts (forbidden words)!
It turns out that a pharmacist can be so strong!
Even the strongest pharmacist in the Kingdom of Shang couldn't hold on for a quarter of an hour under his command!
At this time, if Mo Lian continued to say "there are no pharmacists outside of Zhongzhou", no one else would dare to stand up and refute his words. Severely bluffed!
