She watched the old man sit down, watched him pour himself a cup of tea and take a sip, then put it down and looked at her. She keenly discovered that his eyes seemed to be full of inquiry.
"I wonder what country Mr. Feng is from? The surname Feng is really unique and rare."
The old man looked at Feng Jiu and asked with a smile. However, after he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then smiled again, “Hehe, I forgot to introduce myself first. I’m Shangguan Dezheng, the third elder of the Shangguan family.”
Hearing this, Feng Jiu's heart moved slightly, and she said, "I am from the Phoenix Dynasty. Indeed, the surname Feng is quite rare. Even in our country, only people of our lineage have the surname Feng."
"Oh? Phoenix Dynasty? Excuse me, what rank of country is it?"
"Ninth level." After the voice fell, she continued: "More than a year ago, it was called Yao Ri Country."
Hearing this, the old man's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Fengjiu with even more surprise: "So that's how it is." Because the countries were at different levels and were far apart, he still didn't understand some dynasties, or even hadn't heard of them, especially since there were too many ninth-level countries.
"Master Feng is also here to participate in the March 3rd Alchemy Appraisal Conference? Could it be that Master Feng is also an alchemist?" He asked casually, stroking his beard.
She took a sip of tea from the cup and said casually, "As far as I know, the Yi Kingdom Imperial City's Pill Appraisal Conference does not stipulate that only alchemists can participate. On the contrary, anyone who has a pill can participate."
"Yes, the purpose of the Dan Jian is to identify elixirs, not to select alchemists, let alone a competition among alchemists. Therefore, as long as the quality of the elixirs is outstanding in all aspects, anyone can participate."
At this point, he smiled and said, "I believe that Master Feng also knows that our Shangguan family is a family of alchemists. In fact, this time I followed secretly, in addition to watching the younger generation to prevent trouble, I also followed the orders of the head of the family to recruit some alchemists with alchemy talent. If Master Feng is an alchemist, you can come to our Shangguan family and try it out."
Hearing this, Fengjiu smiled faintly and said nothing.
Seeing this, the old man did not speak again, but sat for a while, chatted for a few more words, and then stood up to say goodbye.
Fengjiu held her cheek with one hand and tapped the table with the other. Her clear eyes flashed with a faint light as she looked in the direction where the old man left. No one knew what she was thinking.
"master."
Leng Shuang and Leng Hua walked back quickly. They rushed back because they heard that a fight had broken out here, but when they saw that their master was fine, they felt relieved.
"You're back?" She glanced at the two of them and asked, "How was your investigation?"
"Master, many people from other countries came to the Dan Appreciation Conference in the imperial city of Yi Kingdom this time, including some noble families and royal families from first-class countries. We found out that among the alchemists attending the Dan Appreciation Conference, in addition to an alchemist sent by the Shangguan family from a first-class country, there is also Master Mochen, the disciple of Elder Tianji."
Leng Hua paused, and continued: "The Dan Jian Conference will be held in the Dan Jian Hall. Those who want to enter must have at least a third-level elixir in addition to their status. Those with elixirs lower than the third level cannot enter to participate. In addition, the guards there will be extremely strict, and..."
He glanced around and said, "There are so many people from advanced countries coming to participate in the Alchemy Appraisal Conference this time because there is news that the Ghost Doctor will come to participate."
