Zhongzhou City.
"Your Highness, this is the most prosperous place in Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou City." Feng Wu pointed to the stone plaque on the city gate.
"kindness."
Duanmu Xi nodded, and they entered Zhongzhou City together.
Speaking of Zhongzhou, it is the most special existence in Hantian Continent. Zhongzhou is located in the center of the Four Kingdoms, but it does not belong to any of the four countries.
Hundreds of years ago, the four countries all wanted to swallow up the fat piece of Zhongzhou in order to achieve the goal of unifying the world.
However, the terrain of Zhongzhou is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The four countries also distrust each other and resist each other. As a result, they have been unable to capture a small Zhongzhou for so many years.
Until now, the four countries have no intention of annexation and have acquiesced in the special existence of Zhongzhou.
Yunlai Inn is the best inn in Zhongzhou City.
"Three upper rooms."
Xuanyuan Mo took out a green crystal stone from his arms and placed it on the counter.
The innkeeper looked up and saw several people with extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance, and he did not dare to neglect them.
"These are the room numbers of the three guests. Please keep them."
Xuanyuan Mo took the three small black cards, and saw that they were written in cinnabar with Tianzi Room No. 6, Tianzi Room No. 7, and Tianzi Room No. 8.
"Waiter, take the three guests to the third floor," the innkeeper said to the waiter who was cleaning the table over there.
"okay!"
When the waiter heard the order, he responded, put a cloth towel on his shoulders, bowed to several people and said: "Three guests, please come upstairs."
…
In a room filled with the aroma of medicine, an old man with white hair was crossing his legs and closing his eyes. There was a middle-aged man standing in front of him.
“How many people’s identities can be found?”
When the middle-aged man heard the question, he immediately bowed to answer.
"Reporting to the Great Elder, my subordinates found out that the girl in white is the crown princess of the Suzaku Kingdom, the boy in black is the Prince of War of the White Tiger Kingdom, and another woman is the guard of the girl in white."
"oh?"
The white-haired old man raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Is that girl the useless princess?"
That girl doesn't look like a waste. Those who regard pearls as fish eyes are really blind.
"Yes, it's just rumored that the Suzaku Princess is no longer useless. It is rumored that she killed a junior mystic master three years ago with the strength of a senior mystic master, and not long ago she single-handedly quelled the rebellion in the Suzaku Kingdom. .”
The middle-aged man reported the information he found to the white-haired old man one by one.
"Then have you found out the reason why she came to Zhongzhou?"
The more the white-haired old man listened, the more interested he became.
"This." The middle-aged man shook his head, "I can't find out the specific reason, but they seem to be inquiring about the Alchemist Guild."
"Ha ha… "
The white-haired old man's eyes were full of smiles.
Alchemist Guild, girl, our master-disciple relationship is really quite deep.
The white-haired old man finally turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Go tell that old boy Nalanxi and ask him to open a hospital to recruit students. I want to recruit students."
... Hearing this, the middle-aged man was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Was he hallucinating? The great elder actually said he wanted to accept a disciple.
As the number one alchemy refiner in the Vast Sky Continent, the Great Elder has never been short of apprentices, but for so many years, he has refused to accept even one apprentice.
But now, he has taken the initiative to accept a disciple...
Seeing his unbelievable look, the white-haired old man added another sentence.
"Let him get the word out today."
"Yes Yes."
The middle-aged man knew that the great elder was serious this time and did not dare to neglect. He nodded in agreement.
In the dean's room of Shengjin Academy, an old man in green clothes was looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with great interest.
"Did he really say he wanted to take on a disciple?"
"yes."
The middle-aged man nodded respectfully and said to the old man in green: "The Great Elder asked you to spread the news today."
The old man in green is none other than Nalanxi, the dean of Shengjin Academy.
"He is really impatient. Go back and tell him and I will do what he wants."
A meaningful smile appeared on Nalanxi's face. He wanted to see what kind of outstanding person it was that made the old guy have the idea of accepting a disciple.
The middle-aged man got the answer and bowed to Nalanxi.
"Thank you very much, Dean Nalan. I will go back and report to the elder now."
Yunlai Inn.
Xuanyuan Mo knocked gently twice outside Duanmu Xi's door.
"Come in."
Hearing the faint voice coming from inside, Xuanyuan Mo gently opened the door.
"Xi'er, go down and have something to eat."
"good."
Duanmuxi nodded, called Feng Wu again, and the three of them went downstairs together.
When the three of them went downstairs, the originally lively hall suddenly became quiet.
Every guest has an expression of surprise, obsession, and stunned expression on their face.
Duanmu Xi frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Feng Wu glared at the men in the hall angrily.
The men here are really disgusting. They dare to blaspheme their royal highness with such disgusting eyes. Damn it.
Xuanyuan Mo's face was also ashen, and a powerful pressure was released instantly, making people breathless.
Everyone withdrew their gazes one after another, not daring to look again.
Duan Muxi walked to an empty table and sat down, and Xuanyuan Mo also walked to the opposite side and sat down.
Feng Wu once again glared at the people following Mu Xi's footsteps, and after seeing her sit down, he stood behind her.
"sit down."
The faint voice was not an order, but more like an order.
… Your Highness, it’s true, how can any guard dine with his master
"yes."
Although he was very troubled, Feng Wu sat down carefully.
After the three of them sat down, a waiter immediately came up and asked, "What do the guests want to eat?"
“Let’s have some signature side dishes.”
"Okay, the three guests will have a sip of tea first. The food will be here soon."
The waiter quickly poured tea for Xuanyuan Mo and the others and left.
The originally quiet hall became noisy again.
The guests at several tables next to Duan Muxi were all talking loudly. Listening carefully, they all seemed to be saying the same thing.
"I heard that Shengjin Academy is recruiting students again, do you know?"
"Isn't it possible? Doesn't Shengjin Academy only recruit students once every three years?"
"I've also heard about this. At first, I thought the news about the enrollment was false. Later, I asked someone to go to Shengjin College to inquire about it. Guess what I found out?"
"What?"
"People from Shengjin Academy said that this recruitment is mainly for Elder Situ. I heard that Elder Situ is going to accept a disciple."
"This is even more impossible. Elder Situ is a special elder invited by Dean Nalan. I heard that he is a famous alchemy master, but he does not accept apprentices."
"Forget it, believe it or not, admissions to Shengjin Academy will begin in three days. I must go and give it a try."
"Hey, hey, don't leave. I didn't say you didn't believe me."
Listening to everyone's conversation, Xuanyuan Mo's eyes flickered.
"Xi'er, do you want to become an alchemist?"
Duanmuxi was a little dazed by his sudden question, but then she reacted and nodded.
"There's an opportunity now."
Xuanyuan Mo said, glancing pointedly at the people at the table next to him who were talking animatedly.
Duanmu Xi understood instantly.
"Are you talking about the elder accepting a disciple?"
She just seemed to have heard that the elder was some kind of master of alchemy.
Xuanyuan Mo nodded, "Yes, Elder Situ is the most powerful alchemist in Shengjin Academy. Although I don't know what level he is, he is at least a Xuan-level alchemist."
A mysterious alchemist
A flash of excitement flashed in Duanmu Xi's eyes.
In the past few years since she came to Hantian Continent, she finally knew how rare there were alchemists here.
There was only one alchemist in the entire Suzaku Palace, and he was still a junior at the Yellow level. Now how could she not be excited when she first heard that there was a Xuan level alchemist.
Three days later, the three of them left the inn early and went to Shengjin Academy.
Shengjin College is located to the east of Zhongzhou City and has a history of hundreds of years. It is the top college in Hantian Continent.
People in Hantian Continent are proud to study in Shengjin College, but this Shengjin College only accepts students every three years.
Moreover, if you want to enter Shengjin Academy, you must pass numerous tests. If you fail the test, even if you are the emperor of the Four Kingdoms, Shengjin Academy will not accept you.
There was a sea of people at the gate of Shengjin Academy today, and it had only been three days since the news of the enrollment spread, and it had already spread throughout the entire Hantian Continent.
As soon as the enrollment day came, everyone crowded outside Shengjin College. Some even waited outside the college for two days and two nights, fearing that they would miss the opportunity.
"Your Highness, there are so many people!"
Feng Wu looked at the crowded crowd, his face full of wonder.
Duanmu Xi's eyes flashed, with a determined look on his face.
For Xiaoying, she must enter the Holy Gold Academy and find the mysterious Elder Situ.
Not long after, a dignified middle-aged man walked up to the crowd.
"Everyone is welcome to take the admissions examination of Shengjin College."
A deep and deep voice resounded through the crowd, and everyone fell silent instantly.
"This time the admissions examination is still the same as before, divided into four items: first, mysterious energy; second, spiritual power; third, medicine refining; fourth, weapon refining. Now please line up to take the preliminary test."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, everyone rushed to line up at the designated position.
Duan Muxi looked at the crowds of people swarming up and had no intention of coming forward to join in the fun. She just stood there and watched quietly.
Sitting on the long table at the entrance of the college were four mentor-looking people.
Sitting at the front is a burly man with a Chinese character face. He is responsible for testing the profound energy. There are the most people lining up in front of him.
The second one is a cold and charming woman in black. The woman has a graceful figure, her beautiful face has no trace of age, and her dark phoenix eyes have no trace of warmth.
She is responsible for spiritual power. Although there are not as many people in front of her as strong men, there are still many.
The third person was an old man in gray clothes with half white hair. There were only eight people in front of him because he was in charge of the medicine refining test.
The last one was an old man in white with an immortal spirit. There were not many people in front of him, maybe more than a dozen. This old man was testing weapon refining.
Duanmu Xi looked up at the heated test ahead.
"Axue, do you want to enter this Holy Gold Academy?"
Xuanyuan Mo shook his head, "I am learning the skills of the Snow Wolf Clan, and the instructor here cannot teach me."
Duanmu Xi pursed her lips, a flash of disappointment flashed in her lowered eyes.
