"Those two people should be his apprentices." Following the old voice, an old man in gray clothes with gray hair walked out from behind the wall behind the young man.
"Apprentice?" The young man looked at the old man in gray and his eyes flashed. He actually knew how to accept disciples, and even accepted two at once. This was something he didn't expect.
The old man in gray clothes looked at the young man with an unbelieving expression and said, "You don't believe that the old guy would accept a disciple. I didn't believe it when I heard the news at first." It wasn't until the people he sent later that he collected the most He had to believe the exact news.
That old guy has been an alchemist for more than two hundred years. As the first in the alchemy world, there are countless people who want to worship him as their teacher, including some powerful people and some extremely talented alchemy geniuses. , but he was stunned and refused to accept it from anyone. This time it was reported that he had accepted two apprentices at once, which is really unbelievable.
The old man in gray paused and said, "Actually, accepting a disciple is nothing. I have news that makes you even more unconvinced. Do you want to hear it?"
The young man raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Tell me about it." He wanted to hear what else he didn't believe more than the news that the man had accepted a disciple.
When the old man in gray clothes saw the interested expression on the young man's face, he didn't go around any more and said directly, "The news from my people said that the old guy's apprentice didn't want to be his disciple at first, but he still did that later. The old guy kept pestering me, so his apprentice reluctantly accepted him as his teacher."
When the young man heard this, the interest on his face became even stronger, "Oh? That's interesting. There are still people in the world who don't want to be his teacher."
"That's right, there are no alchemists in Hantian Continent who don't want to be apprenticed to that old guy, but his disciple is fine. The old guy wants to accept her as his disciple, but she still refuses to become his disciple. I really wonder if she is stupid. "The corners of the gray-clothed old man's mouth twitched. He felt very embarrassed when he thought of the great elder of their Alchemist Guild accepting disciples like this.
"Do you know the identity of his apprentice?" The young man seemed very interested in that apprentice.
The old man in gray thought for a moment and said, "The news said she was a stunningly beautiful girl, but I haven't found out her identity."
It turned out to be a woman, and the young man was a little surprised. There are very few women among alchemists, because women are feminine and belong to water, while men are masculine and belong to fire. However, alchemists must have the fire attribute. Women's water attribute naturally suppresses fire. Therefore, these female alchemists are very important in Hantian Continent. Rare. Suddenly he was looking forward to seeing the apprentice that the man had forcibly taken.
The next day, Situ Kong took Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo to a luxurious castle.
Duan Muxi looked at the five golden characters of "Alchemist Guild" and blinked. It turned out that what they arrived at yesterday was just the Medicine City, not the real Alchemist Guild. The magnificent and luxurious castle in front of them was the real Alchemist Guild.
Two men wearing the same black robes at the gate of the castle saluted immediately when they saw Situ Kong.
"Great Elder."
"Great Elder."
Looking at the same black robes worn by the two of them, Duanmuxi guessed that they were the special robes for alchemists, because they also had a small badge on their chests. There is a big yellow letter printed on the small sign, and there are three gold stars below the yellow letter. Obviously, these two people should be Huang level three alchemists.
Duanmuxi twitched the corner of his mouth. No matter which country he went to, a third-level alchemist of the Yellow rank would be treated as an honored guest, but in this Alchemist Guild, he could only guard the door.
Without even looking at the two alchemists who were saluting, Situ Kong took Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo directly into the Alchemist Guild.
Most of the people in the Alchemist Guild also wore special robes for alchemists. Among the black robes, the white clothes of Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo looked unique.
Everyone was amazed when they saw the appearance of the two people, but when they saw Situ Kong in front of them, they all saluted with admiration, "Great Elder."
Situ Kong still ignored those people and led the two of them inside.
Because the Alchemist Competition is held at the Alchemist Guild, and Situ Kong specially brought Duan Muxi to sign up today.
Situ Kong quickly brought the two of them to the registration office. There were not many people at the registration office. There were only two people registering. In front of them, there were only a few people waiting to sign up.
When the two registered alchemists saw Situ Kong, they immediately stood up and walked quickly to salute in front of Situ Kong.
"Great Elder."
"Great Elder."
Duanmuxi glanced at the small cards on the chests of the two people and saw clearly their levels. One was at the eighth level of the yellow rank, and the other was at the ninth level of the yellow rank.
Situ Kong glanced at the two of them, and finally focused his eyes on the ninth-level alchemist on the right, "I brought my disciple to sign up today."
The ninth-level alchemist of the Huang rank opened his eyes wide when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face. Not only him, but also the eighth-level alchemist next to him also had a shocked expression.
The great...the great elder has accepted a disciple, how is this possible!
The two of them ignored Duan Muxi and subconsciously looked at Xuanyuan Mo. When they saw Xuanyuan Mo's appearance, they were shocked again. What a beautiful man. The great elder’s apprentice is just different from others!
Looking at the two people in a daze in front of him, Situ Kong shouted unhappily, "Why don't you sign up for my disciple now?"
Situ Kong's cold shout finally brought the two of them back to their senses.
"Yes, yes." The ninth-level alchemist immediately responded and said respectfully to Xuanyuan Mo, "Please come with me, young master."
"Idiot." Looking at the man's stupidity, Situ Kong couldn't help but slap him on the forehead, "Did I say he was the one who wanted to sign up?"
The man shrank his neck subconsciously and looked at Situ Kong in confusion. Some people don’t understand what he means. It’s not this young master who signed up, so who is it? Didn't he just bring two people? If it’s not this young master, could it be another woman
With that thought in mind, the man looked over to Duanmu Xi, and was dumbfounded by the sight. Is there such a beautiful woman in the world...
Feeling the man's obsessed gaze, Duanmu Xi frowned slightly, a cold light flashed in Xuanyuan's dark eyes, while Situ Kong kicked the man with an angry look, "Why don't you take my precious disciple to sign up?"
Damn it, to look at his precious apprentice like this in front of him is like looking for death.
"Yes, yes, girl, please come this way." The man responded repeatedly while lowering his head to lead the way. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Duan Muxi again, because he knew that with just one glance, he would be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself. And such a woman is not something that a person of his status can even think about. Even just looking at her is blasphemy against her.
Registration is very simple, just fill in your name, age, age of refining medicine, and your master. Sure enough, it has been an era of fighting for father since ancient times, but now they are fighting for master.
After registering, Situ Kong took the two of them to the competition place to have a look, and then took the two of them back to Situ's Mansion.
What the three of them didn't know was that not long after they left, Duan Muxi's registration form was in the hands of the young man last night.
Name: Duanmu Xi, age: sixteen years old, age of refining medicine: one year, master: Situ Kong.
The young man looked at the registration form in his hand, with a sarcastic smile on his lips. At the age of sixteen, he is still a baby. He has only learned medicine refining for a year, and yet he dares to participate in the medicine refining competition. Do you really think he is that person's apprentice? Is it amazing? This year's alchemy champion must be his disciple's. Hao'er should arrive in the next few days.
Because the competition was coming soon, Duan Muxi would still go to the alchemy room alone to make medicine. In order not to put pressure on Duan Muxi, Situ Kong did not even go in to disturb Duan Muxi while he was making medicine. In fact, there is no need to go in, because he has pointed out everything she can, and she can only rely on her to explore the rest.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was the day of the competition.
Situ Kong once again brought Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo to the Alchemist Guild.
There are a lot of people in the Alchemist Guild today, especially around the competition venue. There are already many people sitting on the high platform above the competition field, but no one is sitting on the main seat at the top.
Situ Kong directly led the two of them onto the high platform. When everyone saw Situ Kong, they all saluted, "Great Elder."
This includes the young man and the old man in gray. When the man behind the young man saw Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo next to Situ Kong, he looked surprised, as if he didn't expect to see them here.
Situ Kong waved his sleeves and stepped up to the highest seat, "Without courtesy, sit down."
After hearing this, everyone sat back in their seats.
Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo also followed Situ Kong to the main seat, but they stood behind Situ Kong together.
Looking at the two people who looked like golden boys and girls, everyone couldn't help but whisper.
"I heard that the great elder has accepted two disciples. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."
"Not only is it true, I heard that the great elder's apprentice will also participate in the medicine refining conference today!"
"Oh? The great elder's apprentice must have something extraordinary, and that man looks very powerful. It seems that he has a good chance of winning the championship!"
"You are mistaken. I heard that the woman in white is participating in the competition."
"No way, how old is that woman? She is too impatient to come to the Medicine Refining Conference at such a young age! You can only participate in the Medicine Refining Conference once in a lifetime!"
"Oh, who can guess what the great elder is thinking..."
Just when everyone was talking about it, the young man spoke up, "Won't the Great Elder introduce Ling Gao to everyone?"
Hearing this, Duanmuxi looked towards the source of the sound and frowned slightly when he saw the young face. Such an old voice, such a young face.
"He is so young because he took the Dingyan Pill. In fact, he is older than me!" Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in Duanmuxi's ears. It's like explaining, like telling.
A flash of understanding flashed in Duanmu Xi's deep purple eyes. It turned out that he had taken the Dingyan Pill. The Dingyan Pill can keep people young forever, but it cannot change a person's voice.
