Chapter 164: Elixir City (Second Update)
Elixir City, located in the southeast of Taixuan Kingdom, is thousands of miles away.
After leaving the Taixuan Academy, Chu Shaoyang did not ride a horse, but chose to walk.
Ever since he learned the dragon form, he has been faster than a horse.
It only took him three days to arrive in Elixir City.
Elixir City, before he came, he had made a certain understanding.
Elixir City, it is said that it is the place where the elixirs of the entire Taixuan Kingdom gather, and the elixirs that cannot be bought anywhere, as long as you come to the Elixir City, you will definitely be able to buy them.
Since the alchemy conference is about to start, alchemists from all over the country are rushing here.
After Chu Shaoyang entered the Elixir City, he didn't linger and walked straight towards Yingdan Tower.
Yingdan Building is the residence specially prepared by the Alchemy Guild of Elixir City in order to welcome alchemists from all over the country.
"Where did you come from, boy, while playing, didn't you see the three big words "Yingdan Building" written on it? ”
Coming to the door of the Yingdan Building, just as Chu Shaoyang was about to enter, a horse-faced young man who was in charge of greeting the alchemist saw him coming and hurriedly waved his hand to him.
"Isn't this the place to welcome the alchemist?"
With a frown, Chu Shaoyang looked at the horse-faced young man and said.
"Yes, what, are you an alchemist? Hmph, don't lie to me, you can't fool me with someone as smart as me. ”
However, when he heard this, the horse-faced young man clasped his hands in his arms and said with a look of disbelief.
"But I'm really an alchemist."
When encountering this kind of person, Chu Shaoyang was really speechless.
"Gotcha, get out of here, don't lie to me, I'm ......"
"Little friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's been good lately."
However, just as the horse-faced young man was about to drive Chu Shaoyang away, a loud laugh suddenly sounded, and immediately after, he saw a thin old man in black robe walking out of the Yingdan Building.
"President Xu, don't come unharmed."
Looking at the black-robed old man, Chu Shaoyang smiled slightly and hugged his fists.
This black-robed old man is none other than the president of the Heavenly Thunder City Alchemy Guild, Xu Ming, who Chu Shaoyang had a relationship with when he was helping the Lu family in the alchemy competition.
"President Xu, this kid...... Do you know? ”
Seeing Xu Ming and Chu Shaoyang so close, the horse-faced young man showed a look of surprise.
"Of course I know, this little brother is amazing, he is a third-grade alchemist at a young age."
Looking at Chu Shaoyang with an appreciative expression, Xu Ming said to the horse-faced youth.
"What, a third-grade alchemist?"
Hearing this, the horse-faced young man was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue off.
He had been here for a few days, and all the alchemists who entered here were either middle-aged or old men.
As young as Chu Shaoyang, it was the first time he had seen him.
So he naturally wouldn't think that Chu Shaoyang was an alchemist.
But now Xu Ming told him that the other party was not only an alchemist, but also a third-grade alchemist, how could he not be surprised?
At this moment, he really wants to gouge out his eyes, blind, this is!
"Let's go, little friend, don't stand outside anymore, go inside with the old man."
However, in the face of his surprise, Xu Ming turned a blind eye and directly pulled Chu Shaoyang towards the Yingdan Building.
In the Yingdan Building, there are many people sitting at the moment, but most of them are old men and middle-aged people.
As soon as Chu Shaoyang entered, he immediately attracted many curious glances.
"President Xu, is this little brother your apprentice?"
"Needless to say, such a young man is not his apprentice, is it his master?"
Several alchemists who had a good relationship with Xu Ming immediately teased when they saw Xu Ming walking in with Chu Shaoyang.
"Ahem, don't get me wrong, this little friend is not my apprentice."
With some embarrassment on his face, Xu Ming hurriedly waved his hand.
"President Xu, don't be modest, it's not your apprentice, can he come in?"
"That is, at his age, he is at most an alchemy apprentice."
However, when they heard this, everyone did not believe it.
"Xu Ming, I didn't think I would see you for a few years, and you would also accept apprentices?"
Without waiting for Xu Ming to speak, a sneer suddenly came from behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a hunchbacked old man walking in with a teenager.
The hunchbacked old man was thin and wrinkled, while the young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same age as Chu Shaoyang, the only difference was that the young man always put on a proud expression.
"Old camel monster, I didn't think you would also come to the alchemy conference?"
Staring at the hunchbacked old man, Xu Ming's face instantly turned cold.
"Why, only you are allowed to come, and the old man is not allowed to come?"
"Defeated!"
"You ......"
Hearing the hunchbacked old man say this, Xu Ming's face turned blue.
Back then, he and this hunchbacked old man competed in the trial pill, and the quality was only one line behind the other party, and from then on, as long as the other party saw him, they would mock him.
This has become his heart disease.
"Hmph, thin body, clear eyebrows, beautiful eyebrows, at first glance he is a short-lived ghost, I really don't know if you are old and confused, you have to take him as an apprentice for this kind of person."
After taunting Xu Ming, the hunchbacked old man looked at Chu Shaoyang next to him again, and after looking up and down, he sneered.
Hearing this, Chu Shaoyang frowned.
Who did you recruit to provoke whom, this old guy actually scolded himself for being a short-lived ghost, is he sick?
"Old camel monster, you misunderstood, this little friend is not my apprentice."
Seeing the hunchbacked old man looking at Chu Shaoyang, Xu Ming hurriedly explained.
"Pretend, you continue to pretend to the old man, are you afraid that I will ask the apprentice to compete with him?"
"The more afraid you are, the more the old man will compare."
Seeing Xu Ming's explanation, the hunchbacked old man thought that Xu Ming was afraid of him, so he immediately looked at Chu Shaoyang.
"Little ghost, you're this old guy's apprentice, right? Is there a quality of alchemy strength, do you dare to compare with my apprentice? ”
"Master, don't be embarrassed for him, look at his bear-like, can he compare to me? I'm a pinnacle alchemist. ”
Without waiting for Chu Shaoyang to speak, beside the hunchbacked old man, the arrogant young man who looked bullish said disdainfully.
"It's okay not to compare, but when you and your master see me in the future, you have to bow down and salute, and give way when you see the way."
"Old camel monster, don't go too far!"
Hearing this, Xu Ming was furious.
Although he knew that Chu Shaoyang's alchemy talent was a hundred times stronger than this young man, the other party was not his real apprentice.
"Master, since everyone is coming to the door, let's have a big deal!"
Chu Shaoyang didn't want to get involved with these three people, but he really couldn't get used to it, the young man looked like a bull, and he pretended to be very embarrassed at the moment.
"This ......"
Xu Ming wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Shaoyang waving his hand.
"Boy, you have courage, but the conditions have to be changed, if you lose, I want your master and apprentice to climb out from here, do you dare to compare?"
Seeing Chu Shaoyang agree, the hunchbacked old man showed a hideous smile.
"Yes, but if you lose, I'll want you both to climb out of here."
The corners of his mouth hooked up a sly smile, and Chu Shaoyang said.
"Lose? That's impossible. ”
Hearing this, the arrogant young man looked confident.
"Okay, in that case, don't talk nonsense, let's talk about it, right?"
Looking at the two of them, Chu Shaoyang asked.
"Just bet on refining the most common spirit blood pill, and compare whose quality is higher."
"Yes."
The Spirit Blood Pill is just a pint pill, and this kind of pill is refined by Chu Shaoyang, just like playing.
"Let me come first, boy, today I will let you have a long experience and let you know what an alchemy genius is."
When the rules were set, the arrogant young man waved his hand at Chu Shaoyang, and walked out with confidence on his face.
