In the public, Kong Ming did not want to attract attention, so he did not immediately step forward to talk to the middle-aged alchemist, but followed him slowly.
With Kong Ming's strength, he only needs to stare at the middle-aged alchemist from a distance with his spiritual consciousness, and there is no need to worry about losing his whereabouts, let alone being noticed by other practitioners. However, this middle-aged alchemist is really in a very poor state, because the path he walks is getting more and more remote. It seems that he lives in a remote area of the city, or even neighbors with some ordinary people in the suburbs.
It's really miserable for an alchemist to be so mixed up. It's no wonder that the clerks in the drug store and people who recognized the middle-aged alchemist were looking at him as if they were joking.
As the middle-aged alchemist traveled farther and farther, the places he visited became increasingly located in the corners of the city, and finally turned into an area completely inhabited by ordinary people.
An alchemist with a high level of Yuan Emperor cultivation, no matter how downcast he is, can he really be so miserable that he associates with ordinary people
No wonder Kong Ming had heard before that there were many strange and independent people in the Southern Realm, but he didn't expect that he would meet such a person just after entering the Southern Realm.
What makes Kong Ming somewhat unexpected is that the middle-aged alchemist is regarded as a joke by some practitioners, but when he comes to the area where ordinary people live, he seems to be very respected, and almost every mortal along the way will say something to him. The middle-aged alchemist salutes.
Kong Ming could see that this salute came from the heart, and was not because the middle-aged alchemist had the status of an alchemist and a practitioner. Judging from this situation, the middle-aged alchemist really carried out his strangeness to the end, because even though Kong Ming ascended from the intermediate plane step by step, he had never seen such an alchemist before.
Such an unusual character, who dares to say that there is nothing special about him? In this way, Kong Ming naturally became more interested in the middle-aged alchemist.
The area where mortals live has no planning, and is more like a shanty town built haphazardly. However, the middle-aged alchemist seemed very familiar with this place. After twists and turns, he entered a very messy-looking alley, and Kong Ming Soon I saw a rather tattered medicine flag hanging in front of an old house in the alley, which meant that this house was actually a medicine shop selling elixirs!
If nothing else, this pharmacy should be the property of the middle-aged alchemist. But with such a shabby appearance, it shows how tight his money is. It is no wonder that he wants to find that big pharmacy to hire someone else. They helped him to participate in the Alchemy Alliance's Alchemy Competition.
The clerk at the drug store said that the middle-aged alchemist was refining waste elixirs, but the middle-aged alchemist was confident enough to participate in the alchemy competition. What was going on? Kong Ming didn't think that an alchemist with high-level Yuan Emperor cultivation would really lose his mind and go crazy!
Looking at the dilapidated medicine shop not far away, Kong Ming somewhat understood why the middle-aged alchemist was so respected among ordinary people, because it was very likely that the medicine shop he opened was to serve ordinary people.
People in the cultivation world are all running around hard for cultivation resources, and the reason why elixir masters can become wealthy practitioners is because refining elixirs can bring them a lot of income. But what income can an alchemist make by serving ordinary people? In exchange for some gold and silver property? What use does this have for practitioners
If the middle-aged alchemist is really an alchemist serving ordinary people, then it is understandable that he is in such a miserable state. It's hard for Kong Ming to even imagine how an alchemist who always hangs out with ordinary people could practice to the high-level Yuan Emperor realm? Is it possible that this middle-aged alchemist has an extremely amazing talent, so he can practice to this level without having many resources
Soon, the middle-aged alchemist entered the old pharmacy, and it turned out to be his property. After Kong Ming scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, he found that there were no special restrictions in this medicine shop. If he came to a medicine shop located in an area where ordinary people lived, there would be no need to set any restrictions, and there would be no other practitioners. Monitor the middle-aged alchemist.
At that moment, Kong Ming's body swayed and he easily entered the old medicine shop through the air and appeared in front of the middle-aged alchemist.
The middle-aged alchemist only had the cultivation level of a high-level Yuan Emperor, which was far behind Kong Ming. It was only when Kong Ming appeared in front of him that he suddenly realized it, with a very surprised look on his face. .
This middle-aged alchemist is really too poor. Even if there are some ruthless people in the cultivation world who like to kill people and swindle goods, it is impossible to set their sights on the middle-aged alchemist, right? What is there in him worth grabbing
No matter how surprised the middle-aged alchemist was, Kong Ming bowed his hand to him politely and said: "This fellow Taoist has invited me. Huang wants to ask fellow Taoist about something. I don't know how to call fellow Taoist?" "
Kong Ming did not intend to reveal his whereabouts, so he would no longer call himself Kong to the outside world, but gave himself a pseudonym named Huang, which could be regarded as commemorating his wife from the Three Kingdoms era.
For the middle-aged alchemist, he did not have the ability to identify whether Kong Ming's name was true or false. He only knew that the person who suddenly appeared in front of him was so powerful that he could only look up to him, so he quickly bowed respectfully. , said: "Junior Lin Mo, I have met my senior here. I wonder what his instructions are?"
Kong Ming waved his hand to signal Lin Mo not to be so polite, and then said with a smile: "Just now, Huang saw fellow Taoist Lin coming out of a medicine shop on the street, and heard others talking about the Alchemy Competition. I followed Fellow Daoist Lin all the way here, and I want to ask Fellow Daoist Lin for advice on something."
Although Lin Mo was in dire straits, he was not an idiot. After feeling Kong Ming's powerful aura, he knew that he was at least a cultivator in the realm of gods, and a strong man of this level only needed to think a little. After crushing him, how could he dare to show any slight to Kong Ming? He quickly raised his hands to Kong Ming and said, "I wonder what senior wants to ask? As long as the junior knows, he will tell you everything."
Kong Ming smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Lin, Huang is a loose cultivator. This is his first time in the Southern Realm. Although he has heard of the Alchemy Alliance, he doesn't know what the Alchemy Competition is all about. Therefore, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Lin for advice."
Lin Mo even said he didn't dare, and then honestly told Kong Ming all the news he knew about the Alchemy Competition.
The so-called Alchemy Competition is a grand gathering between alchemists led by the Alchemy Alliance and held every hundred years. As long as they can afford the registration fee and bring their own materials, any alchemist can sign up to participate, and then they will be evaluated according to the grade and quality of the refined elixirs. Those who can be at the forefront will receive a large number of rewards from the Alchemy Alliance. They may even be absorbed into the Dan Alliance and become a formal member of the Dan Alliance.
Judging from the alchemy competitions held in the past, the most effective way to stand out in the alchemy competition and get a higher evaluation is to invent some new elixir recipes and refine new types of elixirs. You can often get extremely high innovation bonus points and win in big competitions.
In comparison, if you are refining some elixirs that have been around for a long time, even if they are extremely high-grade and of excellent quality, they may not necessarily get high evaluations, because from the perspective of the elixir alliance, there is nothing known They cannot refine elixirs, and the purpose of their alchemy competition is to discover geniuses with innovative abilities, so as to continuously strengthen the method of elixirs. It does not mean that you are high enough or qualified enough. He will definitely be able to make a difference in the Alchemy Competition.
Just imagine, Lin Mo was already in such a state of despair, and he still wanted to go to the Alchemy League to participate in the Alchemy Competition. It can be seen that such a grand event did not set any threshold.
However, Lin Mo was so poor that he couldn't even afford the registration fee. He didn't even have the travel expenses to go to the Alchemy League to participate in the competition. It was even less possible for him to prepare the materials for alchemy by himself. If he didn't find a sponsor, how could he possibly Going to participate in the Alchemy Competition
Generally speaking, those who are willing to sponsor the alchemist to participate in the alchemy competition are some big companies, and the alchemist also has agreements with these big companies, and they participate in the name of the company. Once they achieve success, the benefits will be with The trade name is shared half and half. Therefore, the big companies are willing to sponsor the talented alchemists who are likely to shine in the alchemy competition. Only in this way can the benefits be maximized. How can they pay attention to a small character like Lin Mo
What's more important is that the medicine shop on Banzi Star is not ranked among the southern realms. It originally had no hope of making a difference in the Alchemy Competition, so it has never sponsored any alchemist to participate in the Alchemy Competition. plan, it is even less likely to invest in Lin Mo.
Therefore, even if Lin Mo never gave up and tried his best to lobby again and again, he always came back disappointed, and over time he became a laughing stock.
After listening to Lin Mo's introduction to the Alchemy Competition, Kong Ming cupped his hands towards Lin Mo and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, Huang has something to ask, please don't take it offence. Huang accidentally heard the clerk in the medicine shop mention it. All the elixirs that Fellow Daoist Lin refined were waste elixirs, and it was impossible to participate in the Alchemy Competition with this. Therefore, Huang was very curious, wondering what kind of elixirs Fellow Daoist Lin was refining, and what kind of elixirs he would be called by those guys. What about the waste elixir?"
Lin Mo sighed and said: "Since the seniors asked, the juniors have nothing to hide. In fact, the elixirs refined by the juniors are all created by the juniors. There is absolutely no problem with the efficacy of the medicines, but they cannot be taken in. It’s just other people’s judgment.”
