At the beginning of Dou Po, I received my suicide note.

Chapter 159 Yaoyue's Double Happiness

The eve of the alchemist meeting.

In a certain inn in the imperial capital, a young man in gray robe sat cross-legged on the bed to adjust his breath. After a long time, he just got up and came to the window, looking at the dark night in the imperial capital with a cold smile.

"Hmph, the bullshit pharmacists' conference. When I win the championship this time, we'll see what happens to your Jia Ma Empire pharmacists' guild. If an imperial guild loses the trust of pharmacists, it should be over!" Twisting his neck, the gray-robed boy sneered.

Thinking of the success of this plan, after returning to the Izumo Empire, there will be no last resistance to succeeding as the president of the Alchemist Guild, Yanli couldn't help but smile, as if seeing a bright future.

Although this action is a bit risky, for the sake of power, it is worth it!
Taking a last glance at the night, Yanli closed the window completely, put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and carefully scanned the beams of the house with his eyes.

After confirming that there was no danger, he turned his palm over, and a light red pill appeared in his palm.

"Damn Furong Pill, although it can make people return to the face of their youth, it is only superficial. Alas, if it is not for the reputation of the Jiama Alchemist Association in their country, our guild will not be able to do so." It takes so much energy to refine this kind of thankless thing, and if you want to restore your previous appearance, you must take a specific elixir, this kind of consumption is too huge."

Yan Li muttered in a low voice, in order to sneak into the Jia Ma Empire, he had already taken Furong Dan in advance.

Although he regained his youthful appearance, it also prevented him from displaying 100% of his strength, which made him very uncomfortable.

Shaking his head slightly, he was about to swallow the elixir to restore his appearance for a short time, but when he brought the elixir to his mouth, an accident happened.

A big hand suddenly appeared to block it, and the elixir that was delivered to his mouth was also stuffed into that hand.

"Since you think it's a waste, you don't feel bad if you don't eat it. It's such a simple question."

The sudden sound behind him made Yanli run like a frightened wild cat from the side by the window to the opposite side.

Turning around, I saw a young man in Tsing Yi playing with the light red elixir with great interest, with a teasing smile all over his face.

Obviously the smile is very warm, but Yanli can't feel the slightest warmth, only feels cold sweat.

It was an incredible thing to be able to appear behind him without him noticing.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?"

"The Izumo Empire has been coveting the Jia Ma Empire for so long, and there should be quite a few people who know me now. It seems that you, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, are not valued very much."

Chen Guan replied with a smile.

He is not interested in participating in the alchemist guild this time, otherwise it would be too bullying and not beneficial.

But it's not that he can't do anything, just like the vice president of the alchemist guild from the Izumo Empire who came to make troubles, he can solve it in advance if he can, so as not to jump out tomorrow and affect his mood.

The alchemist conference held every eight years is a rare and grand event in the Jia Ma Empire, so it's better to go on smoothly.

"A strong man from the Jia Ma Empire?!"

Yanli's heart was shaken, he realized the danger, he couldn't care about anything else, he slammed into the wall behind him and fled.

Chen Guan looked at it coldly and did not stop him.

After rushing out of the inn, Yanli found no one was chasing him, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, he took out a red pill and took it again, restoring his appearance and strength so that he could escape better.

But when he looked up, the smile on his face gradually solidified.

I saw two figures standing there leisurely above the sky, the huge dou qi wings behind them were so dazzling, one red and the other blue.

What made him even more horrified was that he could recognize the faces of these two people. They were the Ice Emperor Haibodong and the president of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Guild, Fama.

Chen Guan also flew out of the room without hiding his strength, which made De Yanli even more desperate.

At this moment, even though he is in a desperate situation, Yan Li still wants to complain.

There is no need to use such a big sledgehammer to kill chickens. This is too much for him!

"Hahaha, to get the three Dou Huang powerhouses to mobilize, even though I, Yanli, died today, it was worth it!"

This is indeed an honor.

Ever since the red pill fell into Chen Guan's hands, the plan had completely failed, and he was sure to die. In this situation, he did not expect to survive.

Looking at Yanli who felt so honored, the three of them smiled disdainfully.

"Want to die now? How can it be so easy, go back with the old man."

Fama took a step forward, and grabbed down fiercely with a big energy hand, it was as easy as grabbing a chicken, without any mercy, it directly crippled Yanli's fighting qi cultivation.

Fama knew a little about Yanli.

This guy is the vice-chairman of the Izumo Empire's Alchemist Guild. He has a high reputation in the Izumo Empire, but he advocates the combination of alchemists and poison masters. Therefore, he is trusted by the poison masters of the Izumo Empire. A strong successor to the next guildmaster.

Such behavior, in the eyes of a pharmacist like Fama, is a kind of blasphemy, a traitor who voluntarily joins the poison master!
Not to mention that they wanted to take this opportunity to make trouble and attack the Jia Ma Alchemists Guild.

Therefore, for attacking Yanli, Fama has no psychological burden.

His battle qi was crippled, Yanli screamed again and again, if this space hadn't been mentally blocked by several people in advance, many people would have to be woken up.

Sealing Yanli's mouth, Fama spoke to the two of them, and led them away first.

Hai Bodong and Chen Guan, who followed the show completely along the way, stayed behind.

Looking at the boy with weird eyes, Hai Bodong questioned.

"What kind of eyes is this on your boy?"

"It's nothing, I just felt that this guy's screams were familiar. It seemed that when I passed by the Mittel family the other night, I also heard some movements."

Hearing this, Hai Bodong almost broke his defense, his face blushed visibly.

"I heard it wrong, you must have heard it wrong, the Mittel family has an old man as a role model, and now they are all strong men!"

The man with strong bones seemed to be screaming miserably.

Chen Guan didn't bother to poke him, and took a look at Hai Bodong's strength and his much younger face.

"The Ice Emperor's strength should be back to its peak soon, right?"

"It will take a few months, but the strength of the four-star Douhuang is enough to help you perform in the Misty Cloud Sect."

Hai Bodong's face recovered a little, and he laughed.

Today is different from the past, now Fama, Jiaxingtian, and Chen Guan have a very good relationship, they can be regarded as members of an iron circle.

And although he was forced to board the boat, he never really integrated into it.

Originally, Hai Bodong was still thinking of a solution, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

A three-year agreement is an opportunity to integrate into the circle!

Chen Guan nodded and did not say any more. He greeted each other and went back to their respective homes.

It's a new day, the sky is blue and cloudless.

Early in the morning, the noble pharmacists usually put on their robes one after another, and they swarmed out of every resting place in the imperial capital like ants coming out of their holes like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Although their walking routes were different, their destinations were all the ancient alchemist guild standing in the city.

All the shops in the Holy City of Jia Ma opened their doors earlier than before. Countless people got up from the warm blankets and stood at the gates, looking at the large group of alchemists hurriedly walking on the street. His eyes were filled with passion and awe.

It was the first time for many people to see such a number of alchemists, and they were amazed, and then they followed up to watch the excitement.

Today is a major event in the Jia Ma Empire. The Alchemist Conference held every eight years will kick off today!

A huge crowd flocked to the Alchemists Guild, and then they were led to the real venue.

Royal Plaza!

It's not that the royal family intends to intervene in the affairs of the Alchemist Association, it's all because there are more than [-] alchemists participating in the Alchemist Conference this year.

Moreover, there needs to be enough space for refining medicine, which is not available in the Alchemist Guild.

The Royal Square is square, and the bluestone platforms are densely distributed, and the distance between them is less than two meters.

Around the square, there are heavily armed troops to maintain order, and only those participating and members of the Alchemist Guild can enter it.

On the east and west sides of the square, there are countless seats, while on the northern heights, there are some VIP chairs that are obviously much more luxuriously decorated.

The people who came to watch the match and participate in the competition, apart from looking at the alchemists in the square, also kept looking at the VIP seats.

The people sitting there were all high-level guild leaders who were rarely seen in normal times, as well as leaders of the major forces in the imperial capital.

Several vice presidents of the guild, Teng Shan from the Mittel family, Mu Chen from the Mu family, Nalansu father and son from the Nalan family, etc., sat in it impressively.

What is surprising is that even in their identities, the seats at this moment can only be arranged from the sixth place, and the five most prominent main seats are reserved in the middle, which makes people discuss and speculate.

"There is no doubt that among the five seats, the royal family will definitely occupy one, and President Fama will occupy one. Who will be the remaining three?"

"You forgot the Misty Cloud Sect. The Misty Cloud Sect will definitely not be absent from such a grand event. With their status, it is reasonable to occupy a seat, right?"

"What about the remaining two?"

"There may be one Pill King Furukawa, but I don't know about the last one. Why are you in a hurry? You will know when the competition starts."

The viewing area was extremely noisy, and the discussions never stopped.

In contrast, the pharmacists on the square were relatively quiet, but their eyes were constantly sizing up.

In the central area, in front of a huge bluestone platform, Xiao Yan cast his eyes on Nalan and his son in the VIP seat.

A little regretful, he didn't find the woman who made him unforgettable, so he slowly looked away, and then began to observe all kinds of competitors.

His extraordinary mental power allowed him to see a lot of things. Although there were many of these opponents, most of them were just pretenders.

What he can pay attention to are some people who are close to the center.

A few of them had unruly faces, and it was obvious that they were not pharmacists from the Jia Ma Empire.

A little something, but not much.

Compared to these, Xiao Yan took one more look at the young man with a gloomy face.

He didn't need to inquire, there were local alchemists talking beside him.

"Sure enough, Liu Ling also came to participate, but I don't know how far his current level of refining medicine has reached."

"Anyway, it won't be low. He is the disciple of King Pill. If he is too bad, he will not only lose his face."

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't seen Master Furukawa for a long time. Master Furukawa should attend today's grand event."

Pill King Furukawa's disciple?

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, as if he didn't feel well.

At least, in his opinion, she is far from the little princess of the empire he met a few days ago.

What he didn't know was that Liu Ling only had the title of Pill King's disciple now.

The seasons are flowing, and with the movement of the blazing sun in the sky, almost all the alchemists who come to participate in the competition are present.

It was also at this moment that a group of people walked in outside the square, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"President Fama has arrived, as well as the suzerain of the Yunlan Sect, the eldest princess and the little princess of the royal family!"

"The one behind Sect Master Yun seems to be Nalan Yanran from the Nalan family."

"Hey, who is that young man and the little girl he is pulling? Even the Eldest Princess is half a step behind Sect Master Yun and President Fama, and they can walk side by side? And that old man, who is similar to the Eldest Princess Let's go."

"You have too many questions."

The arrival of a group of people immediately caused heated discussions and doubts on the scene.

It can be seen that the omnipotent passer-by is not really omnipotent.

Standing still at the entrance, Yaoyue left the team first.

"Sister, Chen Guan, I'm going."

Yaoye nodded and gave an encouraging look.

Chen Guan also nodded with a smile.

"Go, don't be impatient. After the game, besides the rewards from the guild, I will give you an extra gift. Whether it is good or bad depends on your performance."

Yaoyue made a grimace, looking forward to the gift he said.

Finally, she greeted Zi Yan, her body was like a fallen leaf, she flitted out lightly and elegantly, and finally landed in front of the bluestone platform in the center.

This is a position that can only be obtained by outstanding performers in internal tests, not far from Xiao Yan and Liu Ling.

Chen Guan smiled helplessly and looked at Yao Ye.

"Sister, you can go too."

"Ah."

Yao Ye responded with a smile, saluted a few people, and walked towards the city wall.

In this conference, ninety-nine percent of the alchemists from the empire were gathered, so nothing could go wrong.

After Yao Ye left, Nalan Yanran also left the team, and sat next to Ya Fei.

There are five people left, the five seats in the middle of the VIP seat, the answer is self-evident.

"Pharaoh, Sea Old!"

"Sect Master Yun!"

"Master Chen Guan!"

"."

As the five people approached, all the people who were still sitting got up and made noises one after another.

Only Zi Yan and the others didn't know how to greet them, but they all returned a friendly smile.

Several people also nodded in response, and each briefly chatted with someone they were more acquainted with, and then sat down in the middle seat without hesitation.

The alchemist conference is naturally dominated by the alchemist guild, so Fama sits in the middle.

Chen Guan attended on behalf of Jia Xingtian, and Yun Yun sat on both sides of Fama, Zi Yan was next to Chen Guan, and Hai Bodong sat on the other side.

Chen Guan was not interested in this kind of boring thing.

However, Jia Xingtian has already fought against the sect, and the royal family had to send someone with sufficient status to attend if he wanted to keep up, so the task fell on Chen Guan.

Witnessing the scene of the VIP seats, the square became even more noisy.

Except for Xiao Yan who was staring at Nalan Yanran who was sitting next to Yafei, everyone else was almost curious about the identities of Chen Guan, Zi Yan, and Hai Bodong, and why Pill King Guhe didn't attend?
It's a pity that they were allowed to guess, and no one gave them any answers.

Chen Guan and the others entered the arena stepping on the spot, so they didn't wait too long.

Suddenly, a crisp bell sounded.

The noise at the scene also fell silent at this moment.

Time is up!

Under the eyes of everyone, Fama slowly got up and walked to the front desk.

"Old man Fama, in the name of the president of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Guild, announce that the seventh Alchemist Conference has begun!"

oh oh oh...

Following Fama's announcement, the crowd of auditorium cheered, which lasted for several seconds before stopping.

When they stopped cheering, Fama looked at the equally excited crowd of pharmacists standing in disorder in the square below, and said with a chuckle, "All contestants, return to your seats."

The voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears under the package of fighting spirit.

On the bluestone platform, there were questions for the first round of assessment and some medicinal materials. The impatient people couldn't wait to summon the flames to refine them, but there were also many people who were seriously studying the few materials on the paper.

The alchemists were nervously vying to be the first, while everyone in the VIP seat was whispering, even those who didn't know alchemy were sighing unconsciously.

Among other things, the star-like flames of various colors look quite shocking.

The first round of assessment was to refine a second-grade raw bone pill developed by the guild, but this time the assessment only gave the raw material needed for the raw bone pill, and a very simple pill recipe, some of the details of which need to be refined by a pharmacist. Find out by yourself.

For low-level alchemists, this is not low difficulty, especially with the time limit.

The result also proved this point. When the first round was over, nearly one-third of the more than [-] participating alchemists were eliminated.

But Xiao Yan, Yaoyue, and Liu Ling all succeeded without any surprise.

Especially Yaoyue, who performed well and was the first to succeed in refining.

And Xiao Yan, who always likes to get stuck, is the last one.

Liu Ling's performance was mediocre, without Gu He as her biggest support, and without the confidence to provoke Xiao Yan again, she looked very gloomy.

The refining of the raw bone pill has only completed the first round of assessment, and the finished product still needs to pass the test.

In this step, more than a hundred people were eliminated again.

The eliminated ones left the stage, without giving too much rest time to those who advanced, and the second round of assessment began directly.

Refining a third-grade Fengxing Pill!

Just the word 'Sanpin' is enough to confuse many alchemists, not to mention that the people who came up with the question in the guild were so wicked that they deliberately added a medicinal material called 'Thick Tofu' to the formula.

This led to the fact that, without exception, those who started refining all ended in failure for the first time, even Xiao Yan and Yaoyue.

Each person only has two materials, and those who don't believe in evil continue to refine the human head iron, and the results needless to say.

Many clever people found that the matter was not that simple. After thinking about it seriously, they dared not do the second refining.

Until, Xiao Huohuo stood up.

Resolutely discarded the thick tofu and started refining.

Sitting on the high platform, Chen took a look at the thick tofu in his hand, and obviously found some problems, but Yaoyue, who didn't dare to make up her mind, shook her head slightly.

In terms of courage, Xiao Yan undoubtedly won.

"There is no way, Yue'er has been living under the wings, it is impossible for her to go out and experience alone like ordinary people, and develop a decisive temperament, but she can find out the problem so quickly, it is not bad."

After reading the thoughts on the boy's face, Fama next to him said with a smile.

He was quite satisfied with Yaoyue's performance.

Yaoyue is still young now, although her temperament will not change drastically as she grows older, but with targeted teaching, this small problem can be easily solved.

Chen Guan also nodded in agreement.

In the arena, as Xiao Yan took the lead in refining Fengxing Pill, many alchemists who followed this side were also inspired and began to refine it one after another.

But even if they understood the problem, the time left and the complexity of the third-grade elixir still made a large number of pharmacists regret their failure.

After testing the finished product, there are only a hundred alchemists left in the field!
The elimination rate is terrifying.

"In the last round of assessment, the guild will not provide you with any help. Everything is up to you, including prescriptions, medicinal materials, etc. That is to say, within the specified time, you must successfully refine the ingredients within your own abilities. The final winner will depend on the grade and practical value of the elixir you have refined."

Fama stood on the high platform and announced with a chuckle.

As soon as this rule came out, the expressions of the remaining one hundred people in the square all changed.

Even Yaoyue and Xiao Yan are no exception.

Because Yanli's threat was resolved in advance, Fama naturally would not tell them the content of the assessment in advance, and there was no need to deliberately delay until tomorrow. Relatively speaking, it also made this conference appear more fair.

All the pharmacists who finally passed the two rounds of assessment showed bitterness, and more than [-] of them voluntarily abstained from the competition.

If you can't even refine the third-grade elixir from the medicinal materials stored on your body, there is no need to waste time any longer.

Xiao Yan also sighed slightly, looking at Yaoyue with complicated eyes.

But it is impossible for him to give up!

With a sound of 'poof', it was Liu Ling on the other side who first started to refine, and his gloomy face became a little brighter.

Originally, he thought that this tournament would miss the championship, but he didn't expect that the final assessment would be like this, which gave him some hope.

Although Gu He was 'dead', thanks to his previous status as a disciple of the Alchemy King, his reserve of medicinal materials was not bad.

With Liu Ling taking the lead, those who were unwilling to give up also started to move.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Yaoyue in the center. The number of medicinal materials she took out is nearly one-third more than the rest.

Moreover, in order to increase the success rate, Yaoyue also played all her cards at this moment, using the fifth-grade medicine tripod 'Qingyan Ding' and the sixth-grade beast fire dry blue water flame.

In an instant, he became the most beautiful boy in the audience.

Such a configuration made everyone in the VIP seats amazed.

In terms of background, it depends on the royal family.

Liu Ling and Xiao Yan were also a little envious, especially the former. Originally, Furukawa had said that he would give him the famous medicine cauldron 'Volcano Flame Furnace' at the Alchemy Conference.

结果
Xiao Yan felt that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

He has an even more astonishing strange fire, but unfortunately, he has insufficient reserves of medicinal materials, and he has all the skills, but he can't use it.

Sighing slightly, Xiao Yan threw away distracting thoughts and thought about the pills he could refine.

On the high platform, Chen Guanduo took a look at Mafa.

"Haha, it's not that this old man is obstructing it. The three rounds of assessments for this conference were decided by lottery a few days ago."

Fama smiled very heartily, as long as the local alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire won the championship, he would accept it.

Of course, it would be even more gratifying if it was his own disciple.

Chen Guan smiled speechlessly, he had good intentions, in order to make the pharmacist meeting go smoothly, he solved Yanli in advance, but he didn't expect that this move would inadvertently help Yaoyue.

Without preparing medicinal materials in advance, even if Xiao Yan's level is a little higher than Yaoyue's, the ending is already doomed.

Two hours later, as the sky got darker, the final assessment of this conference came to an end.

More than a hundred people competed for the championship, but less than fifty people could refine the finished product, and most of them were ordinary items in the third-grade elixir.

Among them, Liu Ling successfully refined the third-grade refreshing pill, which can make the person who takes it more sensitive to the energy of the outside world in the state of cultivation, and the speed of absorbing energy will be much faster. the following people.

What Xiao Yan refines is the third-grade turtle breath pill, which can make people fall into a state of suspended animation for a short period of time. During this period, they can't feel any breathing at all, and they look like they are completely dead. After the time passes, they will return to normal. It is used for life-saving when being seriously injured.

Among the finished third-grade elixirs today, the elixirs of the two are considered to be second to none, with different effects, and they are all quite practical.

If among the two of them, the selection of which pill is more valuable and more practical, it may be discussed by the members of the guild for a while.

Fortunately, there is no need for such trouble today.

Because, Yaoyue successfully refined the fourth-grade elixir, Guji elixir!
It was the elixir that she often used to practice to consolidate her fourth-grade medicine refining level recently.

It is also because of this that she has enough medicinal materials for refining Gujidan.

As the only fourth-grade elixir in the field, the little girl is undoubtedly one of the best!

After inspecting the finished product and confirming that there are no problems, Fama also stood up, looked into the field, coughed lightly, and waited until all eyes turned to him before he said with a smile: "Since the inspection is over, now, I Announce that the champion of this session is."

"Yaoyue!"

hoo hoo hoo~
The audience burst into cheers.

After they applauded, Fama raised his big hand to stop.

"Presumably many people know that Yaoyue has some relationship with the old man, and may suspect that the old man is deliberately partial. Here, I can tell you very responsibly that the final round of assessment questions is the result of our lottery. There is no All the vice presidents present were there at the time, so if you have any doubts, you can ask them for confirmation."

At the VIP table, several vice presidents all nodded.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only accept the fact with a wry smile.

As for the others, they couldn't refine the fourth-grade elixir at all, and they were convinced to lose.

Including Liu Ling, without Gu He's guidance, he is not sure about refining the fourth-grade elixir.

"I'm sorry, teacher, for disappointing you."

Sighing lightly, Xiao Yan apologized in his heart.

Yao Chen didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, your level is no worse than this little princess, it's just a matter of luck, but the assessment of this conference is quite interesting, even if it is for Master, I have to admit that sometimes this thing is really important."

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, we didn't really come here for the so-called championship reward. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that your refining level is beyond the third rank, and that's enough."

"The Alchemist Guild should pay attention to you. When they get in touch with you, they will just find some medicinal materials. Before going to the Misty Cloud Sect, if we increase our strength a bit, we will be more confident!"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and adjusted his mentality.

Turning to look at Yaoyue.

"Congratulations to the little princess for winning the championship."

"It's just a matter of luck. I can feel that Mr. Yan Xiao's mental power is very strong, and it should be no problem to refine the fourth-grade elixir."

Yaoyue answered very modestly, but the happiness on her face was still obvious.

The championship reward, plus the gift that guy said, double the happiness!
Xiao Yan smiled, but did not strike up a conversation.

Luck is also part of strength!
