Volume 2 Chapter 97 Southern Xinjiang Alchemist
The teenagers were surprised to take the pill distributed by Ye Chang, Ye Chang explained the reason a little, and everyone was relieved.
Although it is necessary to ensure that this alchemist conference is fair and just, the alchemists from southern Xinjiang came to use the medicinal materials (shēn) which is a kind of injustice, so the alchemists in other prefectures and cities also choose to use relatively rare medicinal materials.
A large number of them were hired, and some of the powerful people wanted to obtain this phantom yan, but they had no choice but to have the alchemist grade of self (shēn), so they adopted the method of hiring a large number of elite phantom monks to fight for it.
It seems that this is a competition to test the skills of alchemy, but in fact, it is a competition of various forces and even financial resources.
"This way, please. A young monk walked up to Ye Chang and led the group to the prepared place planned in advance.
The place to prepare is not very large, but it is more than enough to accommodate Jiufang Ming and others.
There are many positions in the stands, in which the strong people of all parties are arranged in a relatively high position, one is to highlight the prominence of the status, and the other is to effectively prevent emergencies.
Jiufang Ming dressed up in disguise, and then became a different look.
Yan Qitong didn't come over, and the teahouse was still inseparable from her operation for the time being.
Ye Chang watched Jiufang Ming change into a (shēn) costume, full of puzzlement.
"Uncle Ye, this conference, help me report it. Jiufang Ming said.
Ye Chang thought about it for a while, this alchemy conference did not limit the level of alchemists who came to the contestants.
But Jiufang 冥 (shēn) is a nine-rank alchemist, and it is really a bully to participate in a competition that is lower than his own level.
But Phantom Yan is really a rare treasure.
"Okay, the age limit is under twenty-five, and if you participate, others shouldn't say anything. Ye Chang then went to the place where he signed up and added one member.
As for the name reported, Ye Chang casually used his son's name "Ye Yun".
"Ye Yun?" The man in charge of registration was a little suspicious.
"What's the matter?" Ye Chang heard this, realizing that something was wrong.
"I've already signed up. The man replied.
Ye Chang was stunned, could it be that his son Ye Yun also came?
"Is it Ye Yun from Jiufang City?" Ye Chang then asked, when did this kid know how to make a hand in alchemy, but he kept it a secret from himself.
Knowing that Ye Yun came to sign up, it also means that Ye Yun will definitely refine the pill, Ye Chang couldn't help but be a little excited, his mantle can finally be inherited.
"It's from Jiufang City. The man replied, and then looked at Ye Chang in confusion.
Ye Chang thought of another name, "There is another contestant in the South Underworld City, Fang Ming." ”
The man didn't ask much, and he also knew that the power of the Southern Underworld City was strong enough, and in less than a few months after its establishment, it had far surpassed Tongjin City and Su Ying City, and had the potential to catch up with Xiao City and even Jiufang City.
"Thank you very much. Ye Chang's expression was indifferent, leaving a few lower-grade Yuan Stones.
"It's done, and the name will be Fang Ming. Ye Chang returned to the preparation venue, and then searched for a while before finding the disguised Jiufang Ming.
Jiufang Ming bowed slightly.
"It's time to wait and see. Jiufang sat quietly in the back row, looking at the alchemists from other cities who walked into the field one after another.
Ye Chang also sat down, and at this time, the alchemy conference had already begun.
"That Yan Xiuyun is from southern Xinjiang. Ye Chang shared the information he had found out in advance with Jiufang Ming.
"Let's take a look. After Ye Chang's reminder, Jiufang Ming's focus was also placed on Yan Xiuyun (shēn).
Since it is from southern Xinjiang, the method of refining the elixir must be different from that of Min Chaoping's alchemist.
The rules of the Alchemist Conference are very simple, divided into twenty batches, each batch has fifty people, the first twenty-five people who refine the pill can be promoted, plus the nine directions There are more than 1,000 people in total, and the remaining fractions will be extra competitive.
Among the 1,000 people, 500 people were screened, and then there were 250 people, and in the third round, they were divided into five groups, each group of 50 people, and the top 10 people who refined the elixir could be promoted.
In the end, when there were only more than fifty people left, they gathered directly together for alchemy, and the venue was large enough, and it was not a problem for dozens of alchemists to make alchemy together.
In the fifth round, there will only be ten finalists left, and the bottom five of these ten people will receive the rewards directly, and the top five will continue to compete.
Take three out of five, take one out of three, and pick one out of a thousand, and the final winner can get the extremely rare Phantom Yan.
Of course, if Jiufang Ming does not participate, it will be very likely to be obtained by the big forces, and the alchemists who participated in the competition are just a pretense, but it is someone else who really gets the phantom Yan.
The triennial Alchemist Conference is held in Tongjin City, and generally speaking, there are no rules for the participants of the Alchemist Conference, as long as you know how to do alchemy, then you can participate.
But this time it is different, and for the sake of fairness, the age is specifically restricted.
As several middle-aged men walked in, the scene of the alchemist conference gradually fell silent.
The person who came was the city lord of Tongjin City, as well as the presidents of the Alchemist Guilds of each city, and after some greetings, they all sat in their own places.
The reason why Ye Chang didn't take the stage was because he disdained to share the stage with those old foxes.
After a girl with light makeup announced the start, the alchemist who had already entered the field sorted out the medicinal materials, lit the Dan furnace, and moved stupidly (yù).
"In the first round, refining Guyuan Dan, the medicinal materials have been provided, and the Dan furnace is not restricted. Pu Jinwei said deliberately.
Jiufang Ming's expression was indifferent, and Ye Chang also nodded silently.
This restriction on the use of only the medicinal materials provided by the conference is undoubtedly to ensure fairness (xìng), and at the same time, it is also a clear suppression of the alchemists in southern Xinjiang.
When he heard that he couldn't use the medicinal materials he brought, Yan Xiuyun's face first turned cold, and then he was disdainful.
"Hillbilly's methods are really stupid. Yan Xiuyun's eyes were slightly raised, full of arrogance.
Although he is only from a small country in southern Xinjiang, he is not something that this group of hillbillies can bully.
"Gu Yuan Dan. Yan Xiuyun condensed the phantom Yan, and the furnace was already floating in the air.
The more the phantom Yan burned, the more prosperous it became, Yan Xiuyun, like most alchemists, directly threw all the medicinal materials into the furnace.
"But that's it. Ye Chang shook his head when he saw Yan Xiuyun's alchemy technique.
"And that's not all. Jiufang Ming saw it slightly, and the focus was always on Yan Xiuyun's hands.
When Ye Chang heard this, he was silent, his eyesight was ruthless enough, but he still couldn't see it carefully.
"I see. Ye Chang looked carefully, and finally found the difference between Yan Xiuyun's technique and other alchemists.
"No wonder there are more than 1,000 places for this conference. Ye Changbu (jìn) sighed, this Yan Xiuyun was good enough, but the other alchemists were not inferior to him in the slightest.
Before the audience could react, Yan Xiuyun's elixir had already been baked.
"Dancheng!" Yan Xiuyun smiled proudly, then withdrew from the phantom and put away the Dan furnace.
"So fast?"
"I'm afraid that there will be a fifth-grade alchemist at this speed!"
"He is worthy of being an alchemist in Southern Xinjiang!"
Yan Xiuyun stood next to Shu Zhao's (shēn), the president of the Alchemist Guild in Tongjin City, listening to the discussions of the people nearby, very excited.
"Yes, within ten years, your name will inevitably spread all over southern Xinjiang. Shu Zhao wanted to have a vicious vision, but this time he gave Yan Xiuyun a particularly good evaluation.
"The genius of Southern Xinjiang. Many people sighed from the bottom of their hearts that the medicinal materials in southern Xinjiang are abundant, and refining the pill is even more arbitrary, so there is no need to think about whether it will be wasted.
Southern Xinjiang is in the south of the Min Dynasty, and the Min Dynasty is also thousands of miles away, although the area of the Min Dynasty is huge, but compared to the entire southern Xinjiang, it is still a small thing.
Most of the rare medicinal materials of the Min Dynasty were also paid tribute by Southern Xinjiang, and Southern Xinjiang and the Min Dynasty lived next to each other, and the reason why the Min Dynasty did not have the intention of moving Southern Xinjiang was because there was a more terrifying existence in the south of Southern Xinjiang.
The Yunteng Continent is vast and boundless, and a small Min Dynasty is nothing at all.
"Yan Xiuyun, four solid Yuan Dan, promoted. ”
Yan Xiuyun walked off the stage indifferently, looking at the Min Dynasty Phantom Monk who was immersed in refining, and he was disdainful for a while.
"This is the strength of the hillbilly?" Yan Xiuyun thought disdainfully, originally thought that the Min Dynasty would be strong, but he didn't expect it to be so.
When he walked in front of Jiufang Ming, Yan Xiuyun subconsciously glanced at it.
The two looked at each other, and both sensed the other's hostility.
"The second-order strength of the Phantom King, but it's a pity, it's a hillbilly after all. Yan Xiuyun shook his head, thinking that there was something special about this young man, but it was also a street full of goods.
Jiufang Ming was silent, this Yan Xiuyun actually had the strength above the Phantom King.
It seems that the people sent by Nanjiang this time are not just to participate in the alchemist conference, but have other plans, Jiufang thought to himself.
The second alchemist who refined the elixir was also released, and in the same way, he was also from southern Xinjiang, but he looked a little silly.
Everyone's eyes were taken away from Yan Xiuyun's (shēn), which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
The two people from southern Xinjiang, although they seem to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, are both cultivators of the Phantom King, and their qualifications are much more demonic than their peers in the Min Dynasty.
Fan Taiping, who ranked second, usually understands in simple terms and rarely deals with other people, so he doesn't know Yan Xiuyun.
"Fan Taiping, Sanpin Danyao, promoted. ”
"Can this Hanhan also be promoted?" Yan Xiuyun hesitated, although he didn't know this Fan Taiping, but he was also from southern Xinjiang, and he was still somewhat concerned.
"This group of hillbillies, Fan Taiping has been refined, hey, what a bunch of rubbish. Yan Xiuyun shook his head, and then returned to the stands.
When the alchemists in southern Xinjiang saw Yan Xiuyun returning, they were all silent.
"Will you die if you keep a low profile?" the middle-aged man reprimanded.
Yan Xiuyun owes slightly (shēn), "It's all for Southern Xinjiang." ”
"Alright, sit down, don't forget what we're here for!" the middle-aged man warned.
Yan Xiuyun sat down at a loss, and then closed his eyes, the surroundings were noisy, and he couldn't meditate on cultivation at all.
Fan Taiping also came back, but the middle-aged man's attitude towards him was completely different from Yan Xiuyun.
"Taiping, you're doing well. The middle-aged man's smile grew.
