If Chu Nan did not become the deputy head of the department, it would be difficult for Dong Yuchen to change his identity without flaws.

After all, the alchemists of Donglou Mansion could not leave Donglou Mansion without permission, and it was even more difficult for the medicine boy to take half a step out of Donglou Mansion.

Fortunately, Chu Nan is now the deputy head of the Alchemy Department, and he already has the right to enter and leave Donglou Mansion at will, and he can leave with Dong Yuchen.

Thereupon......

After the two discussed in detail, the next day, Chu Nan found a reason to leave Donglou Mansion with Dong Yuchen.

When Chu Nan went back, he was asked about the whereabouts of the medicine boy around him, and Chu Nan said that he had something to tell the medicine boy to do, and in a short time, his medicine boy would be outside to do things for him.

This reason is very common, it does not arouse suspicion, and a medicine boy, no one will pay much attention.

After Chu Nan returned to the Alchemy Department, he devoted himself to the cultivation and refining of the elixir.

He is not worried about what kind of way Dong Yuchen will change his identity without leaving a trace, this is what Dong Yuchen is good at.

Relatively speaking, at present, Dong Yuchen has a greater chance of entering the Chiyue Abyss, but it is greater than that of Chu Nan.

After all, with Dong Yuchen's strength, in the entire Jiang Kingdom, except for Chu Nan, there were almost no stronger Spirit Fusion Realm cultivators than him.

It's a pity that Chu Nan can't compete for a place as a cultivator due to his identity here, and can only compete for a place through the alchemist meeting three months later.

Although Chu Nan is extremely talented in alchemy, and the poisonous body formed now can make him invincible in Dan Dou, but Guo Haiya once told Chu Nan that usually in the alchemist meeting, there will be many tests, and alchemy and Dan Dou are just two of them.

Even if Chu Nan can successfully pass these two tests, he may not necessarily be able to get a place.

Among these tests, some of them themselves were very unfavorable to Chu Nan.

For example, alchemy guidance.

Alchemy Guidance......

Each participating alchemist will be randomly assigned a medicine boy who can't do alchemy, and then the alchemist needs to let the medicine boy refine the elixir through guidance.

If you fail to let the medicine boy successfully refine the elixir, it will be counted as a failure, and even if you successfully guide the medicine boy to refine the elixir, it will be compared with other medicine boy's elixir and distinguish the high and low.

Although Chu Nan is not afraid of anyone in alchemy and dandou, he is an extremely weak link in instructing others in alchemy.

After all, he himself had only just come into contact with alchemy......

I am still a newcomer who needs guidance from others, how can I guide others?

In addition, there are also some other tests, which are not good for Chu Nan.

Usually, the higher the rank of the alchemist, the better they can cope with the tests in all aspects, and they will not have a particularly weak link.

Chu Nan had always been new to alchemy here, and it was difficult to compare with those alchemists who had been immersed in alchemy for decades, or even hundreds of years.

However, Chu Nan will not give up easily, for the quota of this Chiyue Abyss, he is bound to win.

And with three months to go, he was able to make up for his weaknesses.

That day.

Chu Nan took out the jade slip that Chen Ze left for him.

Since that night, Chen Ze has disappeared from the Donglou Mansion, and no one knows where he went or how he left the Donglou Mansion.

This matter did not attract too many people's attention, and even after Guo Haiya found out, he was silent and did not send anyone to look for it.

Chu Nan could see that Guo Haiya must know something about Chen Ze, but under Chu Nan's side knock, Guo Haiya did not confide any information, and Chu Nan did not continue to ask.

The purple pill refining technique left by Chen Ze was a complete alchemy method, and it was also the key that Chu Nan used to make up for his weaknesses in the remaining three months.

Chu Nan knew that this complete alchemy method was far from being comparable to those alchemy methods that could be bought on the market, and it could make up for his own weaknesses to the greatest extent.

At the same time, Chu Nan will also find time to find Su Lao every day and accept Su Lao's guidance.

......

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, there was less than a month left before the alchemist meeting began.

Now that the alchemists of the Alchemy Department will participate in this meeting, almost all of them have been decided, and a total of eight alchemists will go to participate in this alchemist meeting.

They are all the best and most outstanding alchemists in the alchemy department.

Among them, the most anticipated is undoubtedly the chief of the Alchemy Department, and the only five-grade alchemist in Donglou Mansion today-Wulin.

As for Chu Nan here?

Although Chu Nan is extremely outstanding in alchemy and dandou, the test in the alchemist meeting is not only based on these two aspects, so most people are not very optimistic about Chu Nan, feeling that Chu Nan's contact with alchemy is too short, he lacks experience, and his talent alone is not enough to get a place in the comprehensive assessment.

Everyone still felt that Chief Wulin and Minister Guo Haiya had more hope.

this day.

Chu Nan still went to Mingdan Tower as usual.

On the way......

Suddenly, there was a commotion.

"Chief ...... It's out!"

The entire alchemy department was boiling at this moment, and many alchemists rushed to the residence of Chief Wulin excitedly.

Chief Ulin ......

It's been a year of retreat!

A year ago, Wu Lin had already begun to prepare for this alchemist meeting, so much so that after Chu Nan joined the Donglou Mansion, he had never seen this chief.

Now that the chief has left the customs, he has directly been in the alchemy department, setting off a storm, causing everyone to rush towards Wulin's residence, wanting to know for the first time whether Wulin has been ...... after leaving the customs Break through to six grades!

If Wu Lin succeeds in breaking through to the sixth rank, then he will definitely be able to get a place in this alchemist meeting!

After all, the entire Jiang country ...... There are no six-rank alchemists yet.

Regarding the exit of the chief Wulin, Chu Nan did not show a trace of fluctuation here, nor did he follow those alchemists to Wulin's residence, Chu Nan still calmly walked towards the Ming Dan Building, as if he was in two different worlds with the fanatical and excited alchemists around him.

The entire Mingdanlou also became deserted at this moment, when Chu Nan saw Su Lao, Su Lao was sitting by the window and drinking tea, through the window, he saw those sensational crowds, after feeling Chu Nan's arrival, Su Lao did not look back, but after taking a sip of tea in the cup, he asked with a smile.

"Aren't you interested in the Chief? You know...... He is not only the chief alchemist of Donglou Mansion, but also the youngest fifth-grade alchemist in Jiang Kingdom, and also the most promising alchemist to break through to the sixth-grade. ”

"Not interested. ”

Chu Nan said.

His current mind is only on how to improve himself, so as to get a place in the next alchemist meeting.

For the others, he didn't have any interest, even if this chief had broken through to the sixth grade, he wouldn't pay attention. This has nothing to do with him.

Su Lao turned his head and looked at Chu Nan deeply, with appreciation in his eyes.

"In my eyes, you are more ...... than him Better. ”

Chu Nan didn't pay attention to the chief's exit, and listened to Su Lao's explanation in the Mingdan Building as always.

But at this moment.

The sound transmission jade slip in Chu Nan's spirit bag was vibrating.

This made Chu Nan frown, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, but the person who transmitted the sound was the head of the alchemy department.

In addition, Haiya asked Chu Nan to go to him now, and there was something important to discuss.

Chu Nan guessed that the convening of the sea cliff was mostly related to the chief Wulin.

And Su Lao here, he seemed to understand better what Guo Haiya meant by summoning Chu Nan this time, and there was a slight flash of essence in his eyes, and he whispered in a deep voice.

"Did they decide to do this......

Chu Nan didn't quite understand the meaning of Su Lao's words.

Although he didn't want to go over here, after all, Haiya was the head of the Alchemy Department, and he couldn't disobey the other party. Even if he is reluctant, he can only rush to the herb forest for now.

......

When Chu Nan came to the Medicinal Herb Forest, the house of Guo Haiya, he found that in addition to Guo Haiya and Chief Zhou here, there were also five fourth-grade alchemists.

These five four-grade alchemists are the five candidates who will represent the alchemy department and participate in the alchemist meeting this time.

Now they were all gathered around a young man in white, with fanaticism and adoration on his face, talking there.

Chu Nan's gaze naturally condensed on the young man in white.

The young man in white has long hair, a slender body, a handsome appearance, a long red mark on the center of his eyebrows, and his eyes are blazing, like lightning.

On his white robe, there is a rare Wuding Dan furnace!

On behalf of its ......

The identity of the five-grade alchemist!

Even when he stood there, there was a burst of elixir aroma emanating from his body, which was very strong.

He doesn't look very old, and with Chu Nan's perception of life, he can see at a glance that he is not yet forty years old!

Being able to become a five-grade alchemist at this age is unprecedented in the entire Jiang country!

At the moment, even if he didn't need to be introduced by Guo Haiya and Manager Zhou, Chu Nan knew that the white-clothed young man in front of him was obviously the chief who went out of the customs, Wulin.

While Chu Nan was looking at Wu Lin, Wu Lin also turned his head and looked at Chu Nan.

Earlier, he had been in retreat and didn't know about Chu Nan, but now after he came out, he also heard about Chu Nan's deeds.

With a smile on his face, he nodded towards Chu Nan, looking kind, but the contempt in his eyes was not hidden.

In addition, not far away, there was a short old man in a red robe sitting cross-legged, the old man sat there with his eyes closed, invisibly exuding a strong aura of oppression at the same time, there were bursts of evil breath penetrating, making people dare not approach.

This person is not an alchemist, but a strong person in the Dan Realm!

With Chu Nan's arrival, the short old man also slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp, with a strong evil aura.

This evil breath......

It's not against the people here, but he has accumulated cohesion under the years of killing.

"Now that we're all here, let's get started. ”

After he opened his eyes, he didn't look at Chu Nan, but turned his head and said to Chief Manager Zhou and Guo Haiya.

Manager Zhou and Guo Haiya nodded, and after glancing at each other, Manager Zhou spoke first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you here to tell you the news, after discussing with the Mansion Master, it has been decided that this meeting of alchemists will be in the form of a team to compete for places. ”

As soon as Manager Zhou's words came out, everyone was calm and not surprised, as if they had already known the news.

Only Chu Nan was there, his face sank.

Chu Nan knew that in the usual alchemist meetings, they were all competing for places in the form of individuals, and they had never competed in the form of teams.

In the form of an individual, every participating alchemist has the opportunity to fight for a quota, and if the alchemist in the force is strong enough, he can even win all three quotas.

But if it is fought in the form of a team, then here in Donglou Mansion, it can only appear...... One place!

Obviously, after not winning the quota for a long time, in order to ensure that it can successfully win the quota this time, it has disregarded face and wants to win the quota with the situation of the team.

After all, in the past, the four mansions and the Jiang royal family had never competed for places in a team situation.

It's shameful.

At the same time, in addition to face, competing for places in a team situation is not fair to alchemists.

If they compete for places in a team situation, then the eight alchemists they participated in this time are like becoming an alchemist, and different alchemists can be assigned to carry out various tests.

For example, when it came to the Dandou test, they assigned Chu Nan to fight, and when it came to alchemy guidance, they let Guo Haiya carry it out.

After all, the alchemists in the team can learn from each other's strengths, and everyone has their own strengths, even if the difficulty of the test will increase, but the chance of getting a place in the team situation will be relatively greater.

The only disadvantage is that the team wins, and only one place can be obtained. And this place can only be given to one person in the team.

This is unfair to the other alchemists in the team.

Under normal circumstances, basically no alchemist is willing to compete for a place in a team situation.

Therefore, for a long time, whether it is the four mansions of Jiang Guo or the royal family of Jiang Guo, there has been no team form to compete for places.

First, it is unfair to the alchemist, and second, it is face-damaging.

However, now Donglou Mansion has made such a decision!

This made Chu Nan's brows furrow.

Let's not talk about whether they can succeed in competing for a place in a team situation, even if they succeed in getting this place, Chu Nan doesn't think that Donglou Mansion will give this place to himself.

The choice of Donglou Mansion will inevitably give this place to Wulin!

In this way, Chu Nan is tantamount to serving this Wulin here.

This is something that Chu Nan can't tolerate, and he can't do it.

Therefore, at the moment when Manager Zhou's voice fell, Chu Nan spoke in a deep voice.

"I disagree. ”

For a while, everyone's eyes were all focused on Chu Nan.

Besides, Haiya and Manager Zhou's eyes were complicated, they knew that Chu Nan attached great importance to this quota and wanted to win it himself.

It's just that they are not optimistic about Chu Nan, and they don't think that Chu Nan has the ability to win the place.

Their original intention of letting Chu Nan participate in the alchemist meeting was actually to let Chu Nan meet the scene and take the opportunity to hone his skills.

In their eyes, although Chu Nan is talented, he still needs time to grow and go through training. And the alchemist meeting is an excellent place to hone and make Chu Nan grow rapidly.

Wu Lin's gaze was full of contempt and disdain.

Even if he knew the rise of Chu Nan here, even if he knew that Chu Nan was extraordinary here, in his eyes, Chu Nan was still like an ant and could not be compared with him.

And the red-robed old man in the distance had even more cold eyes and a sinister aura.

As far as he is concerned, in this Donglou Mansion, the Mansion Master is the supreme authority, no one can go against the wishes of the Mansion Master, if this is not the Alchemy Department but the War Spirit Department, he will definitely take action and punish Chu Nan!

Under the condensation of everyone's eyes, Chu Nan did not have any fear, his gaze was firm, he could not accept this matter no matter what, let alone compromise, it was impossible to follow them to win the place with a team situation.

It's just that Chu Nan's firmness fell in the eyes of the red-robed old man, making his evil qi even stronger, and when his evil qi reached a certain level, it would be formed...... Beholder!

At this time, not only Chu Nan could feel the evil aura of the red-robed old man here, but everyone present could clearly feel it.

This made Manager Zhou's face change.

Regarding the temper of the red-robed old man, he knew very well that once he was provoked, even if this was the Alchemy Department, he would be desperate to attack Chu Nan.

Manager Zhou hurriedly shouted to Chu Nan.

"Fu Shuang, step aside!"

He was worried that the red-robed old man would be unfavorable to Chu Nan.

However, Chu Nan did not listen, he looked at the old man in the red robe, even if the other party's evil aura was amazing, at this moment, he was not afraid at all, although he did not speak, but his eyes clearly told the old man in the red robe that he would only participate in the competition for the place in the alchemist meeting in an individual form, and would not participate in a team form.

This made the old man in the red robe more and more intense, and he had already begun to turn into a killing machine.

In his eyes......

An alchemist like Chu Nan, he didn't care at all, and if he killed him, he would kill him.

Manager Zhou became more and more anxious, he had already felt the murderous intent emanating from the red-robed old man, and Haiya was about to speak.

Rumble!

The red-robed old man waved his hand, a dazzling red glow, and immediately flew towards Chu Nan.

The speed of this red ray is not fast, but it carries a blast that tears through the air, and the power is amazing, far from being something that an alchemist like Chu Nan can resist.

"Dilie, stop!"

Manager Zhou and Guo Haiya exclaimed at the same time.

"It's just a small punishment and a big commandment, and you can't die. ”

The red-robed old man said coldly.

He didn't kill Chu Nan directly, but the red mang he shot out flew towards Chu Nan's mouth, and once it hit, it would definitely hurt Chu Nan's mouth and make him unable to speak again.

Manager Zhou and Guo Haiya both frowned at this.

For Chu Nan, they have always tried their best to create a sense of belonging for him, they know that a genius like Chu Nan is extremely rare, only if Chu Nan has a sense of belonging to Donglou Mansion, and the day he grows up, Donglou Mansion will benefit.

However, the current actions of the red-robed old man will inevitably make everything they have done before undone.

In this moment......

Mr. Zhou hesitated.

The red mangs shot out by the red-robed old man were not fast, and with his strength, he had no time to defuse them.

But he hesitated in his heart, he saw the firmness in Chu Nan's eyes, and knew that Chu Nan would never participate in the competition for places with a team situation.

Even if he made a move to resolve it, Chu Nan's attitude there would not change in any way, but would further stimulate the red-robed old man, making the red-robed old man more angry and more murderous.

At that time, if the red-robed old man really killed Chu Nan, he might not be able to stop it.

Moreover, the matter has been decided and cannot be changed due to the competition for places in the team situation. Including after winning the quota, the question of the attribution of the quota has already been determined by the owner of the Donglou Mansion.

In this regard, even if Manager Zhou's heart is more inclined to Chu Nan, he can't make the decision.

He knew that this was actually a choice between Chu Nan and Wulin from the Donglou Mansion.

In the end, they chose Wulin.

Although Chu Nan is talented and has a physique that is suspected of being invulnerable, in their eyes, Chu Nan is still too immature and needs time to grow.

And Wu Lin was already the chief alchemist of their Donglou Mansion, and they had a greater hope of winning the place, so they naturally would not give up Wu Lin for the sake of Chu Nan.

In this regard, Manager Zhou could only sigh in his heart, but closed his eyes helplessly, and did not make a move to resolve it for Chu Nan.

Moreover, the sea cliff also sighed.

Whether it is Chu Nan or Wu Lin, they are both extremely good alchemists, but after the master of the Donglou Mansion decided to compete for the quota with a team situation, he was destined to choose only one of the two.

Moreover, Sea Cliff is also full of helplessness about this.

Wu Lin looked at it coldly, with sarcasm in his eyes, and felt that an ant like Chu Nan was simply self-sufficient. He was happy to see Chu Nan being taught a lesson by the red-robed old man.

Rumble!

All this happened in an extremely short period of time.

The entire dazzling red light had already arrived in front of Chu Nan.

The old man in the red robe is a strong man in the Yu Dan Realm, even if he deliberately keeps his hand, this red mang is definitely not something that Chu Nan can resist.

He could only watch as the entire red mang kept approaching, and the high temperature emanating from the red mang became more and more intense.

Seeing that the entire red mang was about to bombard Chu Nan, a sigh suddenly sounded from behind Chu Nan.

At the moment when this sigh was heard.

The red mangs that fell towards Chu Nan paused in front of Chu Nan.

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, the entire red mang collapsed in an instant, and did not cause a trace of loss to Chu Nan.

The red-robed old man Di Lie frowned, and looked behind Chu Nan, with more coldness in his eyes.

The rest of the people also looked over.

I saw that behind Chu Nan, there was an extra figure at some point, and they were all very familiar with this figure.

"Su ...... Su Lao!"

The crowd exclaimed.

They didn't expect Su Lao to appear here, let alone that Su Lao would make a move for Chu Nan and turn away the red mangs that Di Lie struck.

In the impression of many people, Su Lao has never stepped out of the Famous Dan Building, let alone interfered in the affairs of the Alchemy Department, and at the same time, Su Lao's cultivation here is only an ordinary primordial spirit realm, and it is impossible to turn away the attack of the strong people of the Dan Realm so easily.

Chu Nan was not surprised.

Although he didn't disperse his demonic sense, with his sensing ability, he had already sensed that when he was leaving, Su Lao was already following behind him.

At the same time, combined with Su Lao's words earlier, it was obvious that Su Lao had already known that Donglou Mansion would make such a decision.

"A strong person in the realm of the Dan is bullying a junior, and he is not afraid of people's jokes. ”

Su Lao said lightly, took a few steps forward, and walked to Chu Nan's side.

Di Lie stared at Su Lao and did not continue to make a move, as if there was some jealousy of Su Lao here, but he still said coldly.

"This is my Donglou Mansion's business, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"But I'm in charge. ”

Su Lao's words are very domineering, which is a little different from the kind him on weekdays.

And even this hot-tempered Di Lie, after Su Lao said this, he didn't dare to attack.

Su Lao didn't pay any more attention to Di Lie, turned his head, and glanced at the sea cliff.

"I'm a little disappointed in you......"

Haiya opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

"Since your Donglou Mansion has chosen Wulin, then from now on, Fu Shuang will no longer belong to your Donglou Mansion, in the future, Fu Shuang and me, if anyone dares to touch him again, it will be an enemy of me Su Yao, this time is a warning, I will take away some of the herbs in this forest as compensation. ”

After Su Lao finished speaking lightly, he turned around and took Chu Nan straight away.

No one dared to refuse, let alone stop it, for Su Lao here...... They more or less know some.
