The protagonists of the heavens start from Utan City

Chapter 133 The First Round of Tests (Two in One)

Around the carriage was accompanied by a dozen or so people wrapped in black robes. These people in black robes actually gave him a dangerous feeling.

It's not fighting spirit cultivation, but the kind of evil spirit that has killed people and seen blood.

A kind of indifference to human life!
In other words, dead soldiers, elite!

"As expected of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, their strength should not be underestimated." After a little bit of admiration in his heart, Xiao Yan cast his eyes on the car curtain.

A black-robed man stepped forward, respectfully lifted the curtain of the car, and when the black-robed man raised the curtain, Xiao Yan clearly sensed that the other black-robed men around him had faintly and rapidly moved in subtle movements. They formed a formation and protected the carriage in the middle. At the same time, eagle-like sharp eyes shot out from the black robe, and then scanned the crowded crowd back and forth.

Under the gaze of everyone around, a slender hand as white as jade stretched out from the curtain of the car, gracefully holding the handle of the car door, and then, a petite figure walked out slowly, appearing in all in people's sight.

The person who appeared was wearing a purple dress with silver patterns. His exquisite appearance, under the influence of the royal family, revealed a faint innate noble temperament.

Her age does not seem to be very old, she looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a little smile on her pretty face, quite elegant and peaceful, but whenever her eyes glanced around, Xiao Yan was It was discovered that this girl who seemed to be very lady-like, in Shui Yinyin's eyes, flashed a little weird smile. Obviously, this is not a master who likes to be quiet like her appearance.

"Tsk tsk, what a beautiful little girl..."

Looking at the girl in the purple skirt who appeared, the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into applause, and some fiery gazes were quickly projected there. Nothing wrong.

"Hehe, this is the little princess of Jia Ma's royal family. I heard that her teacher is the vice president, Master Mitchell. She will appear here this time. She must be here for the alchemist conference."

There were many well-informed people in the crowd, and after seeing the girl's appearance, they recognized her identity.

"She doesn't seem very old, does she? She can come to the conference to participate in the competition?"

"C'mon, the little princess's talent in alchemy is even admired by the president. Regardless of her young age, I heard that as early as half a year ago, she was promoted to a third-rank alchemist..."

"Uh..." Hearing this, the surrounding crowd suddenly went into an uproar. Some older middle-aged alchemists raised their arms with blushing faces, embarrassingly covering the rank badges on their chests.

Under the protection of the group of men in black robes who were surrounded by a bit of a cold aura, the girl in the purple skirt walked through the crowded crowd without any hindrance, and then walked into the alchemist guild swaggeringly.

After watching the excitement, Xiao Yan showed off his posture and rushed towards the Alchemist Guild.

……

"Uncle Otto, here I come."

"Come with me," Otto led Xiao Yan, walked out from the side door, and walked along a quiet corridor for a while. After reaching the end, he pushed open the door on the side and approached slowly.

After entering the gate, a strong light suddenly shot in, causing Xiao Yan to involuntarily narrow his eyes, and he opened them only after he got used to it.

What appeared in front of me was a spacious inner hall with rather classical decoration. At this time, in the inner hall, there were some people standing in twos and threes. Looking across, there were actually many young people among them. They are all at the level of a third-rank pharmacist, and the little princess of the empire that I saw at the gate before is also among them.

"Hey, Old Ao, you brought someone over this time too?" When the atmosphere in the hall was a little quiet, an old laughter broke it.

Xiao Yan followed the prestige and saw that on a high platform on the left side of the hall, some old men in robes of alchemists were standing on it with a smile on their faces, and the previous voice was exactly from one of the white-haired old men.

"That's the vice president of the guild, Mitchell, who is also the teacher of the little princess." Smiling and raising his hand with the old man, Otto turned his head and whispered to Xiao Yan.

"Old Ao, is this your Black Rock City's strong player this time?" After laughing and chatting for a while, the white-haired old man looked at Xiao Yan at the side with a smile and asked.

"Well, his name is Xiao Yan." Otto nodded with a smile, then turned his head to Xiao Yan and introduced again: "This is the vice president of the guild, Master Mitchell."

"Hello, Vice President Mitchell." Xiao Yan smiled slightly and saluted.

The test time is up, and Mitchell didn't say any more, pointing to the left side of the hall, where many black curtains hung down on the wall: "Behind each curtain, there is a separate cubicle, which is where you The examination room..."

"As we all know, the refining of medicinal materials is an extremely important step in the refining of elixir, and our test this time is to focus on your refining of medicinal materials..."

"On the table in each small room, the medicinal materials used for the test are already prepared, and what you need to do is to refine the medicinal materials to the ultimate purity that you can achieve in the shortest time."

"Before the hourglass drops completely, those who haven't finished refining will fail.

Moreover, even if it succeeds, we old fellows will serve as the judges. If the medicinal materials you extract do not meet our requirements, they will also be deemed a failure.

The result of failure is to lose the qualification for the competition. "

Mitchell pointed to the hourglass on the table for timekeeping, glanced at the young alchemists below, and said with a faint smile.

Hearing such a severe punishment for failure, the group of young people below looked at each other, except for a few people, their faces changed slightly.

"Okay, let's start, pay attention to the hourglass time." After clapping his hands, Mitchell looked away from Xiao Yan and said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall began to walk towards the left in twos and threes, and then opened the black curtain and walked in.

Xiao Yan also found a small cubicle and walked in.

The room is not spacious, but it is quite tidy. There is a bluestone platform near the wall of the small room. On the stone platform, there is an hourglass and several neatly stacked medicinal materials.

Walking to the side of the stone platform, Xiao Yan glanced at the medicinal materials that looked like lumps of black charcoal, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "It turned out to be the black iron spirit leaf that is most resistant to burning. Guy, if you deliberately make trouble, you can really torment people!"

However, for Xiao Yan, who is now a sixth-grade pharmacist, this is not a problem at all.

Having said that, fortunately, the people in the Hall of Souls have pitfalls in their brains. Below the Dou Zun level, they are all soul bodies, and their strength is not as good as that of the real Dou Zong.

A Dou Zong level soul body is only comparable to a sixth-grade pharmacist in terms of soul power.

It is now that the ancient soul fighting skills on the Douqi Continent have been lost, and ordinary alchemists have suffered such a big loss when facing the Soul Palace.

Otherwise, shit will be punched out for them.

Apart from the weird black mist, the Guardian of the Soul Palace has no means of protection, so facing ordinary pharmacists, he is naturally sharp.

But in the face of Xiao Yan's strange fire, and the innate supernatural power of Yin Yang True Eye, not to mention it is paper, but it is not so strong.

In short, this time, as long as Guardian Wu dares to show up, he is dead, and Emperor Dou can't protect him, Xiao Yan said!

Shaking his head, withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Yan began to refine the black iron spirit leaf.

……

In the quiet hall, Qie Mier and others on the high platform sat in chairs with their eyes closed, and on the table in front of them, an hourglass slowly descended...

After the quiet atmosphere lasted for an unknown amount of time, Mitchell opened his eyes first, glanced at the hourglass that was nearly half gone, moved his body, and coughed lightly.

As Mitchell coughed, Otto and the others also opened their eyes. After looking around the hall, they smiled and said: "It seems that this test is very difficult. No one has come out yet."

"Those who are capable want to improve the purity of the extraction as much as possible, while those who are less capable are worrying about how to extract the materials within the specified time, so naturally no one comes out in a short time. "Mitchell smiled lightly.

When only a quarter of the sand in the hourglass fell down, a black curtain moved violently. Immediately, several gazes on the high platform cast their gazes over in an instant, staring closely at it. black curtain.

An arm stretched out from the black curtain, and then opened it. The handsome young man walked out slowly with a soft smile on his face...

"It really is him..." Looking at the tall and straight young man, Otto and the others froze for a moment, exchanged glances with Qie Mierer, and then sighed and shook their heads. ah.

Liu Ling strode out of the black curtain, then stopped in the middle of the hall, raised her head and smiled slightly at Qie Mier and others on the high platform, then bowed gracefully, acting like a gentleman.

Not long after Liu Ling came out, a light and nimble figure jumped out of the black curtain quickly, and when she saw Liu Ling who was standing in the hall earlier, a hint of disappointment appeared on her delicate pretty face , slowly came to the center of the hall, and muttered: "Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to be so fast."

"Hehe, the little princess is not slow." Liu Ling said with a smile.

"Hmph, although you are earlier than me, the medicinal materials you extracted may not be as pure as mine!" The little princess snorted softly as she raised her snow-white jade fist at Liu Ling.

Liu Ling nodded, smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Xiao Yan also came out.

After a while, the hourglass fell, and Mitchell clapped his hands, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Since everyone came out on time, let's start preparing for the next test."

As he spoke, Mitchell took a few steps forward and lifted a piece of black cloth on a platform, revealing a precision machine with a faint light below.

"This is a purity measuring instrument made by some famous casters invited by our Alchemist Association. It can accurately test the purity of the materials you refine." Mitchell pointed to a groove and said: "Here, it is a where you enter the test materials."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a screen, on which some characters were constantly flashing: "And here is where the purity is displayed. The system is based on ten points, ten is the highest, one point is the lowest, and four points are passing."

"Okay, now, put the Ironwood Spirit Leaf you refined into it. Remember, before putting it in, you'd better tell me how many times you refined it..."

"Five points... pass."

"Four points... pass."

"Three points, failure."

…………

After passing through several successful ones, there was finally an unlucky second-grade pharmacist who retreated with a dejected expression.

As the test time passed, Liu Ling finally came to the test machine calmly under the gaze of everyone, then took out a jade bottle from the ring, carefully put it into the groove, raised her head and pointed at the test machine. Mir laughed and said, "The juniors are limited in strength and can only refine it six times."

As soon as Liu Ling said this, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar. Not only the people below, but even Qie Mier and others looked at each other in surprise. They can refine the iron wood spirit leaf five times. But at least the peak strength of a third-grade alchemist is needed.

Qie Mier cast his eyes on the screen, and after the light flickered for a while, a huge seven characters slowly appeared...

"Seven points, congratulations...you have passed the test." With a light breath, Qie Mier smiled.

Liu Ling smiled and said nothing, then stepped aside and stood aside, her eyes vaguely glanced at Xiao Yan who was standing at the back, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

With the climax caused by Liu Ling, the subsequent tests will undoubtedly appear extremely dull, and those two or three refinements in twos and threes will hardly attract the hearts of Qie Mier and others.

The mediocrity was not broken until the little princess appeared on the stage. This young cardamom girl actually refined the iron wood spirit leaf five times. However, perhaps because of her immature experience, her score , but it was 0.5 points worse than Liu Ling.

"Xiao Yan, it's your turn..." Looking at Xiao Yan who seemed to be asleep, Qie Mier urged helplessly.

Xiao Yan stopped beside the testing machine, took out the jade bottle containing the powder extracted from the iron wood spirit leaves from the ring, and then casually threw it into the groove under the speechless eyes of Mitchell and the others. middle.

"Little guy, how many times have you refined?" Looking at Xiao Yan who hung his head and seemed to have no intention of speaking, Mitchell could only ask proactively.

"Forgot to count, let me think about it—"

At the same time, on the screen of the testing machine, a huge red "ten" character has slowly emerged...

"very……"

Looking at the big red characters, at this moment, Mitchell suddenly felt that his heart tightened suddenly...

"It seems to be ten times!" At this time, Xiao Yan's voice sounded slowly again...

silence.

There was deathly silence, and the originally bustling hall fell silent in an instant. The flashing red light on the screen of the testing machine shone on the faces of everyone, reflecting a funny dullness.

After the prediction was over, Xiao Yan returned directly to the hotel owned by the Mittel family.

As for how shocked Vice President Mitchell, Otto, Liu Ling, little princess Yaoyue and others were, Xiao Yan didn't care, nor was he interested in it.

Xiao Yan was originally wanton and insolent, if not for this, he would not have fired the boss in his previous life, and would have left as soon as he said it, making the boss's face look like a pig's liver.
