Chapter 136 Prelude to the Medicine Refining Conference
In the holy city of Jiama, the sky is blue, cloudless, and the sunshine is warm and soft. The gentle breeze blows occasionally, taking away the hustle and bustle of the city and making people feel refreshed.
Since the break of dawn, people wearing alchemist robes have appeared on the streets one after another. As time went by, the alchemists who were rarely seen on weekdays appeared like legions today, on a grand and eye-catching scale.
For no other reason than the two-day Gama Empire’s largest event, the eight-year-old Alchemist Conference, will kick off today!
On this special day, Xiao Yan also got up early, sat cross-legged on the bed and quietly adjusted his breath for an hour. After adjusting to the best condition, he slowly opened his eyes and prepared to face today's challenge.
Thinking of the scene of thousands of people setting fire to making elixirs in the same square, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Teacher, the day has finally come."
Seeing this, Yao Lao also thought of the scenes in which he participated in the conference in the past, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and chuckled: "Go, Xiao Yan, to meet your first test in alchemy."
"Yes, teacher! I want the championship this time!"
On the top of Yunlan Sect's Yunfeng, a cloud of black mist floated in front of Yunshan who was meditating.
In the black mist, there was a cold and strange laughter, like the cry of a night owl: "Jie Jie Jie~, Yunshan, come with this protector, our destination is Wutan City."
"Yes, Guardian Bird." Yunshan stood up, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice.
Subsequently, two blurry shadows shot out from the depths of Yunlan Sect, like cutting through the space, and rushed towards Wutan City at an alarming speed.
At the same time, Yunshan finally let go of some of his worries and felt relieved, "The plan was successful. No one from the Yunlan Sect was directly involved in this operation. Yun Ling, Yun Du, Yun Cha, your sacrifices were not in vain.”
The deaths of the three people were a strategy discussed between him and Lin Yuan, aiming to create an illusion that the Yun Lan Sect was killed by a powerful and mysterious man. The Avengers are on the lookout.
In this way, in a time-critical situation, in order to prevent accidents in the Xiao family's affairs, Protector Wu will not allow people with insufficient strength in the Yunlan Sect to participate. Otherwise, not only will it not be able to play any role, but it may attract unnecessary powerful enemies and cause trouble to the operation.
Thinking of this, a secret wave quietly spread out, carrying a message to the distance.
"Friend alchemy master, it has begun."
In a quiet mansion of the Mittel family, Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing, opened his eyes, "Has it finally begun? "
Immediately, he connected to Qinglin's sky network and issued an order: "Every department, enter the first level of preparation. Qing'er, pay attention to the location of Yunshan."
"I understand, Young Master." Qing Lin messaged.
Afterwards, Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart: "Although there is some suspicion of fighting against the air, but just in case, it is better to go to the medicine refining competition venue and let Xiao Yan and Yao Lao Prove that I have nothing to do with the Xiao family's affairs."
"By the way, if the vice president of the Izumo Country's Medicine Refining Association comes here according to the original plan, ask him to ask the doctor. News about the Immortal and Poison Sect. "
Thinking of this, he stopped practicing, felt it, and walked in the direction of Hai Bodong.
Looking at Hai Bodong, whose aura had increased a lot in front of him, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Hai, for breaking through the six-star Dou Huang."
"Hehe, thanks to the gift from you. "Resurrection Purple Pill and Earth Level Cultivation Technique." Hai Bodong smiled with satisfaction and said confidently: "It won't take long, after I finish using the Ice Chalcedony and Emperor Ji Pill, I have a lot of confidence that I can break through to the Nine-Star Dou Huang." "
"At that time, my strength will be on par with the old monsters of the royal family, and I will be able to support the Miter family's large-scale expansion."
Lin Yuan nodded and smiled. Said: "That's very good. After you reach the peak of Dou Huang, I will give you a Sect-Breaking Pill to help you reach a higher level."
"Is this true?" Haibo Dongda said happily.
"Of course it is true." Lin Yuan smiled, "However, we should discuss these later. Now, take me to the Medicine Refining Conference to have a look."
"Are you interested in this conference?" Hai Bodong asked in surprise, "With your level of medicine refining, wouldn't watching them make medicine like watching a child play house?"
"Watch the excitement. Just meeting a friend. Let's go, Mr. Hai. "Friend? Are you talking about Xiao Yan?" "Exactly," Lin Yuan smiled. "Let's go, Ebi, let's go and have a look together."
When Lin Yuan and Hai Bodong stepped into the Royal Square, the lively atmosphere of the conference came to their faces.
When Mitteltenshan saw the two of them, he immediately came up to them.
Sensing that everyone was looking this way, before Mittel Tengshan could speak, Lin Yuan said: "Chief Tengshan, there is no need to be polite. I just came to watch the excitement today, and don't disturb others. Unnecessary attention.”
Hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Mitteltenshan’s eyes.
So he nodded slightly, greeted the two of them briefly, and led them to the VIP seats.
After the two arrived at the VIP table, an old laugh came from the side, "Haha, Old Man Hai, I didn't expect you to come and join in the fun."
After the voice fell, an old man in purple alchemist robes appeared in front of Haibodong. It was Fa Ma, the president of the Jiama Empire Alchemy Guild.
"And, look at your aura, have you broken through to the Six-Star Dou Huang?" Another voice came, and Jia Xingtian, who was wearing a simple linen robe, also walked over. Behind him was the little princess Yaoyue, who was wearing a light green alchemist robe.
Hai Bodong heard this and responded with a strange smile: "Hey, Jia Lao Gui, Pharaoh Gui, I'm just here to join in the fun. However, it's really worth coming this time to meet you two. An old guy."
"As for strength, this is the level I should have."
"Indeed, it is a good thing to get together." Fa Ma sighed. With you old ghosts living together, I won't feel lonely. There are not many old guys of the same era as us in the entire Jia Ma Empire."
The other two's faces changed when they heard this. They all looked a bit more like sighs.
After a while, Fa Ma turned his eyes to Lin Yuan and asked Hai Bodong with a hint of curiosity: "Old man Hai, won't you introduce this little friend to us?"
At the same time, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. With his soul power that was close to the sixth level, he could not feel Lin Yuan's aura. He secretly muttered in his heart: "Is this young man carrying some treasure that masks his aura?"< br>
Jia Xingtian also looked at Lin Yuan. After a moment, there was also a bit of surprise in his eyes, "Who is this little friend?"
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and responded lightly. : "I am Tianshu, just a traveler who likes to travel around. I am currently staying in Hailaoli for a while."
Then, he looked at Haibodong, chuckled and said: "Old Hai, I won't bother you old friends as we catch up on old times. I'll also go find my friends to catch up on old times."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan He no longer paid attention to everyone's gazes and thoughts, and slowly walked towards a highly visible area in the VIP seats.
At the VIP table, a showdown surrounding Xiao Yan was taking place, attracting the jealous eyes of many young people. Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by Yafei, Yaoye, and Nalan Yanran, rubbed his forehead and silently recited the name "Xun'er" in his heart to strengthen his belief.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan noticed a gaze that seemed to have weight falling on him. He looked up and after passing Liu Ling's jealous gaze, he saw Lin Yuan looking at him playfully.
"Tianshu? He is here, is he going to compete, or..."
Seeing his future rival in alchemy approaching him, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. . His body moved unexpectedly, and he was instantly freed from the surroundings of several beauties.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan raised his eyes slightly, "This movement technique is quite good, with some wind attribute agility. In terms of grade, it is at least a high-level Xuan grade."
"Look Now, after refining the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Xiao Yan has gained a lot of benefits, and can control and utilize the wind element energy to a certain extent, and this movement method can perfectly fit Xiao Yan's current state. It was taught by Yao Lao."
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but glance at Nalan Yanran with some pity. When Xiao Yan became Yao Lao's disciple, the outcome of the three-year agreement was already decided. With Yao Lao's level of terrifying background, there are too many ways for Xiao Yan to surpass her within three years.
In terms of his foundation in martial arts and fighting skills, Yao Lao is not comparable to the Yunlan Sect.
As for elixirs, with Yao Lao's attainments in alchemy, if he wanted to, he could directly help create and deduce some new elixirs to help Xiao Yan.
After all, even for Lin Yuan, whose current alchemy skills are far inferior to those of Yao Lao, it is not very difficult to deduce some fourth-grade or even fifth-grade elixirs.
Even if Xiao Yan does not find the strange fire, Yao Lao can still let Xiao Yan switch to earth-level skills, practice physical fighting skills, or practice some secret techniques to temporarily increase his strength. , gaining enough power to defeat Nalan Yanran.
As a former eighth-grade peak alchemist, Yao Lao has absolutely no shortage of these things on hand.
While thinking, Xiao Yan had already arrived in front of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan took back his thoughts, looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, and glanced at Yafei, Nalan Yanran, and Yaoyue who were also looking here, and said playfully: "Yan Xiao, you are really What a blessing. Not only do you have great body skills, but you also have great luck.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan touched his nose and smiled helplessly, saying, “Brother Tianshu, please stop teasing me today. Why are you here?”
“How can I miss such a rare event like the Alchemist Conference? Even if I don’t attend the conference, I naturally want to join in the fun and take a look at your refining. Medicine level." Lin Yuan chuckled.
Xiao Yan asked in a low voice: "Brother Tianshu was joking, that matter..."
"Don't worry, everything goes well." Lin Yuan nodded, "If there are no accidents, he should not appear in Yunlan Sect on the day of the three-year appointment."
"Thank you." Xiao Yan nodded. He handed over his hand and said gratefully.
"No need to thank you, this is a deal between us. I hope we can maintain such good cooperation in the future."
At this moment, a crisp bell rang over the square, and the noisy crowd instantly Be quiet.
The time for the conference to begin has arrived.
President Fa Ma slowly walked up to the VIP table and announced calmly: "In the name of the president of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild, I announce that the 7th Alchemist Conference has begun!"
Following this announcement, the venue instantly erupted with cheers.
After that, Liu Xi and the little princess appeared in a fancy way, which attracted everyone to cheer.
Lin Yuan looked at Xiao Yan, with a playful smile on his lips again, and said: "Yan Xiao, I will give you a special gift."
"What?"< br>
"Haha, a stunning entrance ceremony." Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, he waved his robe sleeves lightly, and an invisible force suddenly gathered, rolling the unsuspecting Xiao Yan high into the sky on the stone platform in the center, and then threw him Down.
“Holy shit, that guy.”
Feeling that his body was falling continuously, Xiao Yan had no time to greet Lin Yuan, and quickly separated a stream of wind element energy from the alien fire in his body, and condensed it on the feet. I saw him walking through the air and floating down gracefully, causing the scene to burst into exclamations and cheers.
Lin Yuan smiled and gave an appreciative smile to Xiao Yan who was looking over, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Sure enough, the other element of the dual-attribute strange fire is not simple. Just like the extremely pure water element energy contained in the Sea Heart Flame, the wind element energy of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame is not ordinary wind. Elemental energy. "
"Perhaps, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame can also be called Dragon Flame Raging Wind, and the Sea Heart Flame can also be called Flame Heart Water?"
On the other side, Xiao Yan and the others are The graceful movement cheered differently. Both Fa Ma and Jia Xing Tian looked at Lin Yuan solemnly. They knew that the seemingly simple move just now was not something that ordinary people could use.
Jia Xingtian asked Hai Bodong in a deep voice: "Old Man Hai, who is that person?"
Hai Bodong waved his hand and said calmly: "A traveler who is traveling across the mainland. , is also my benefactor. Don’t worry, he has no ill intentions towards the Jia Ma Empire, otherwise he wouldn’t appear in front of you so arrogantly.”
“Don’t try to detect him, don’t disturb him, and put him away. Just treat it as a strong person passing by, I can only remind you this way.”
Jia Xingtian pondered for a moment and said: "A strong man without any malicious intent? I hope so."
At the same time, in a deep valley far away from Wutan City, five people were shrouded in black. Figures in the fog gathered quietly. The fighting king aura exuding from their bodies is chilling, they are the soul messengers of the Soul Palace.
"Xu Hunshi, what should we do next?" one of them asked in a low voice.
The soul envoy with the coldest breath sneered: "Jie Jie Jie, wait for the instructions of the protector, there is no room for failure in this mission!"
After the competition officially begins, Lin Yuan will also His mind turned to the sky network, receiving all kinds of information.
"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived at the reserved location."
"Yunshan has passed the seventh node."
Lin Yuan made an estimate in his mind, "At this speed , he and Guardian Wu will arrive at Wutan City in about four hours."
"Huh? There are several soul envoys gathering in District 17. It seems that these are cooperating with Guardian Wu. The soul used it."
The relevant map quickly emerged in Lin Yuan's mind, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes: "The location of this assembly...the general area of the battle should be near the seventh area. ”
After thinking for a while, he began to issue instructions in an orderly manner through the Sky Dome network.
"Qing'er, you come to help convey the message. I will make the following arrangements."
"First, let my clone No. 2 pass through the secret passage dug by your earth-type family members, and quietly Go to the underground 'base' of Wutan City and prepare to implement the next plan."
"Second, let your relatives work closely with my clone to ensure that the head of the Xiao family and the head of the Xiao family can be grasped in real time. The positions of the elders. "
"Third, send a message to the queen to take the Yiqi Pill and move to District 23."
"Fourth, strengthen the attack on Seventeen. District to Wutan City surveillance, strengthen the surveillance of the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Districts."
"Fifth, notify Yunshan, pay close attention to the guardian duck, and report any abnormal behavior in a timely manner." br>
"Repeat the above instructions."
"Yes, Master!" Afterwards, Qing Lin quickly repeated Lin Yuan's words, and after confirming that they were correct, he quickly passed on the instructions. go out.
As Lin Yuan’s order was issued, everyone linked to the Sky Dome Network began to take action.
Lin Yuan's clone with a strong soul aura flew towards Wutan City ahead along a spacious passage hundreds of meters below the ground.
In the Wutan City Lord's Mansion and the Xiao Family, several snake-shaped monsters emerged from the ground. There was a little more green light in the snake's eyes, and there was a little more agility in the eyes.
In a valley, Queen Medusa took out a pill from the ring and took it.
