Day 2.

The morning sun had just sprinkled on the earth, and Lu Yun left the martial arts academy early.

Lingwu County City.

Even though it was not the first time to Lingwu County, walking on the street, seeing the busy traffic, the crowd of people, and a prosperous scene, Lu Yun was still shocked.

Lu Yun walked down a street called Suzaku.

Suzaku Street is a little different from other streets, the shops on both sides of the street are particularly luxuriously decorated, and the plaques are written with words such as 'So-and-so Hall' or 'So-and-so Xuan'.

That's right, on the entire Vermilion Bird Street, seven or eight out of ten shops are selling pills, spirit grass, and other things that help improve martial arts cultivation.

Lu Yun walked for a while, and only after reaching the end of Suzaku Street did he slowly stop.

When you look up, you will see a group of majestic buildings.

This group of buildings stood one after another at the end of Suzaku Street, and the green and red tiles were particularly dazzling in the sunlight, and Lu Yun's gaze fell on the tallest building.

A huge plaque sits horizontally on the top of the building, on which is engraved a line of golden characters dancing with dragons and phoenixes, shining with dazzling light.

'Danshi Alliance-Lingwu County Branch!' ’

Muttering softly, Lu Yun stared at the group of buildings for a long time.

There were many people like him, all of whom cast envious and awe-inspiring glances at the tall building.

In the territory of Lingwu County, in addition to the Feiling Martial Academy, only the Danshi Alliance Branch is transcendent, and the identity of the alchemist is also sought after by many martial artists and forces.

The people who were able to enter that tall building had a unified identity, that is, an alchemist.

Lu Yun touched the white-scaled purple gold knife behind him, then took a deep breath and strode towards the Danshi Alliance.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by two large men with large figures.

"Little guy, this is the Danshi Alliance, only alchemists can enter, and outsiders are not allowed to break in if they don't have something important."

Lu Yun said lightly: "Why do you think that I am not an alchemist? ”

The big man said, "It's very simple, you don't have an alchemist badge. ”

"Alchemist badge?" Lu Yun frowned slightly.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from behind, and the person who came seemed to be in a hurry, and it didn't look like he was ready to avoid, so Lu Yun had to turn his body slightly sideways.

At a hurried glance, this was a white-robed young man with bright eyes, but Lu Yun's gaze fell on a bronze badge on the other party's chest, on which two carefully carved Dan patterns were drawn.

After seeing this white-robed young man, the two big men hurriedly retreated, and squeezed out a smile on their faces, watching each other enter the gate.

"That's Lin Feng, the genius alchemist of our Danshi Alliance, who is already a second-grade alchemist at a young age, and his future is immeasurable."

"By the way, the bronze badge on his chest is the badge that symbolizes the alchemist, and the two Dan patterns carved on it represent his identity as a second-grade alchemist."

After Lin Feng left, Dahan explained to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun said: "I don't have the alchemist badge for the time being, but I am indeed an alchemist, and this time I am here to certify the identity of the alchemist." ”

"Certified alchemist status?" Dahan Weng said: "Then do you have a letter of introduction issued by an alchemist of the Danshi Alliance, if not, you can't be certified as an alchemist." ”

“…… Forehead? Introduction? Hearing this, Lu Yun was stunned, to verify the identity of an alchemist, it is still necessary for the alchemist of the Danshi Alliance to issue a letter of introduction? This was completely unexpected.

Shaking his head helplessly, just when Lu Yun was a little distressed and was about to go back to the house to find a way again, a vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded behind him.

"Little brother, don't you have an introducer?"

Lu Yun turned his head and saw an old man in black robe standing behind him.

It was a thin face, slightly dark, and under the faint eyebrows, a pair of charitable eyes were bright.

Lu Yun's eyes rolled, and finally stopped on the badge on the other party's chest, only to see a silver badge engraved with a series of Dan patterns, a total of six.

Lu Yun's heart instantly stirred up Dao ripples, what is the identity of this old man, his alchemist badge looks like it is not low.

"I've seen Elder Di!"

The moment they saw the black-robed old man, the two big men guarding the door immediately bowed.

The black-robed old man nodded slightly, and then his eyes that looked quite energetic stared at Lu Yun, and said with a charitable smile: "Little guy, how about I be your introducer." ”

Lu Yun's heart was slightly happy, and he quickly reacted, and immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder Di!" ”

"Haha, then come in with me!"

Elder Di laughed and led Lu Yun into the gate.

The two big men guarding the door naturally wouldn't stop it anymore, on the contrary, when Lu Yun passed by, they still had a flattering smile on their faces.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw a young and beautiful girl waving to this side in the distance, and the white and crystal jade wrist looked like jade in the sunlight, which was quite eye-catching.

Lu Yun's gaze couldn't help pausing a little on his body, the girl's age may only be about fifteen or sixteen years old, her body is slightly petite, and her face is also a little immature, but her body is quite well developed, the concave place is concave, the convex place is convex, and the plump and mature delicate body is a set of lilac dresses.

His gaze lingered on his steep chest for a moment, but he did not find the badge representing his status as an alchemist.

"Grandpa, why did you only come here now and let me wait here for so long, huh!"

After Lu Yun and Elder Di walked in, the purple-clothed girl snorted coldly.

Looking at the girl who gritted her teeth and wrinkled her nose, Elder Di's old face was full of loving smiles, and he said with a smile: "Hey, grandpa is already a handful of years, so naturally he can't catch up with you energetic young people. ”

"To go slow is to go slow, and you have to find so many reasons." The girl in purple snorted, and then her beautiful eyes like water fell on Lu Yun, as if she had seen something interesting, and said with a smile:

"Why have you never seen this little brother, where did you find it, grandpa?"

"I just met him outside, and I brought him in by the way. By the way, don't look at his age younger than you, but he is also here to certify the alchemist. ”

Immediately, Elder Di smiled at Lu Yun and said, "This is my little granddaughter, Di Ruoling, who has a jumpy personality, but her mind is not bad. ”

"Brother Lu Yun, call Sister Ruoling to listen?" Di Ruoling stuck out her tongue at Lu Yun and smiled playfully.

Lu Yun just smiled faintly and arched his hand slightly: "In Xia Lu Yun, I have seen Miss Ruoling." ”

"It's really boring to act like a little adult at such a young age." Di Ruoling pursed her lips, and immediately lost interest in continuing to tease Lu Yun.

"Hey, let's go, girl, you have to behave well today, don't lose my old face, otherwise you won't be able to raise your head in front of that old man Deng in the future."

"Grandpa, don't worry, it's just a pill, and it can't stop me at all." Ji Ruoling held Elder Di's arm and said with a smile, her crystal jade face filled with a confident smile.

"Don't be careless, especially as an alchemist, you have to be cautious." pampered Ji Ruoling's little head, and then showed a kind smile to Lu Yun.

"Little Brother Lu, let's go together!"

"Elder Di, please."

In this way, Elder Di took Lu Yun and Di Ruoling towards the interior of the Danshi Alliance Hall.

As soon as I walked into the hall on the first floor, there was a faint smell of medicine coming to my face, which made people feel comfortable and relaxed.

In the hall, there were about a dozen people, and there were not many things in their hands, chatting with each other.

And there are many people of different ages, each holding a letterhead in their hands, which seems to be a letter of introduction, looking around suspiciously, as if they are consulting the alchemist certification procedure, but at this time, no relevant clerk has come out to take charge.

Lu Yun looked at this scene and shook his head slightly.

This kind of thing was already commonplace in the previous life, but I didn't expect that in this Danshi Alliance, there was also a general phenomenon.

"Hmm...... Ahem......"

Elder Di took Lu Yun and Ji Ruoling straight to a counter, and coughed slightly, which was particularly harsh in this slightly cold hall.

When the group of clerks who were chatting raised their heads and saw Elder Di in a black robe, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, and they quickly sat up straight, hurriedly handling the things in their hands.

Soon, a young man in a gray robe hurriedly walked out of a backstage and hurried towards the counter.

Di ...... Elder Di ...... "A trace of sweat clearly appeared on the young man's forehead, and even his speech became a little incoherent.

Obviously, he didn't stick to his post properly during working hours, and let the elder catch a spot, which completely panicked him.

Elder Di raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just pay a little attention in the future." Well, let's go through the alchemist certification process for them first. ”

Seeing that Elder Di had no intention of pursuing it, the young man obviously breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.

Immediately, he greeted everyone in the hall and said, "Please forgive me, I was a little delayed just now, and I'm really sorry when everyone waited for so long." ”

The others were naturally not interested in this, but they did not show dissatisfaction, and they all came over one after another, forming a long line in an orderly manner.

At the front of the team were Ji Ruoling and Lu Yun.

The young man took out a booklet with a golden cover from the lattice under the counter, and immediately looked at Lu Yun and smiled faintly: "Hello, please tell your name, age and the name of the introducer, I will help you register, and after the registration is completed, you can be awarded the alchemist badge after the alchemist assessment and certification." ”

"Lu Yun, age thirteen, introducer......" Lu Yun groaned slightly, and looked at Elder Di on the side, but where was the other party's figure?

"You don't have an introducer?" The young man's hand holding the pen slightly paused, and a trace of anger appeared in his gaze when he looked at Lu Yun.

"His introducer is my grandfather, Di Qing!" At this time, Di Ruoling behind him turned his head slightly, his willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly.

"Hehe, it turns out that Miss Ruoling is also here." The young man laughed awkwardly, and then continued to write, writing the word Di Qing from Lu Yun's introducer.

After the registration was completed, the young man smiled and said, "Please wait a while, after all the registration is completed, someone will take you to the assessment in a while." ”

Lu Yun nodded, walked to the side, and gave up his position.

Di Ruoling walked over after registering and looked at Lu Yun with a smile, "Yes, I'm only thirteen years old to come to the alchemist certification, don't you just come and try it." ”

"Of course not." Lu Yun shook his head and smiled confidently.

"Hehe, come on, I'll know after a while of assessment."

……

After about half an hour, all the people who wanted to be certified as alchemists were registered, and there were thirty-six people in total.

The youngest are Lu Yun and Di Ruoling, and the others, even the youngest, are around twenty years old.

There are a few of them, who are a lot older, with gray hair on their heads, and they look drooping and old.

After a while, a bright-eyed woman in Tsing Yi appeared in the hall and said to everyone: "Those who participate in the alchemist assessment, please come with me." ”

He quickly took away everyone's register, turned around and walked out of the hall, and everyone hurriedly quickened their pace to follow.

After a few moments, the group came to a gate.

There are four warriors stationed here, uniformly dressed in purple robes, with the words Danshi Alliance on their chests.

Next to the entrance, there are a pair of tables and chairs, and number plates are placed on the table.

Lu Yun's gaze swept over the bodies of these four martial artists, and his heart was a little awe-inspiring, these four people were all martial artists of the True Qi Realm, and at least they had completed the six refinements of True Qi.

"Good guy, just one door should also be guarded by the martial artists of the Six True Qi Refinements, it is worthy of the Danshi Alliance, rich and arrogant."

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the gate, still wearing a robe with the words of Danshi Alliance.

However, compared to the other four, this middle-aged man's breath was more stable and long, and even Lu Yun couldn't see the depth.

What can make the current Lu Yun not see the depth, at least it is close to the existence of the Yuan Liquid Realm.

"Commander Xiong, is the assessment inside over?" As she spoke, the woman in Tsing Yi smiled and handed the golden register to the other party.

"Not yet, but it's pretty much there." The middle-aged martial artist known as the Bear Commander swept his gaze over everyone, and when his gaze fell on Lu Yun, a touch of surprise suddenly rose in his heart, with his strength, he actually felt a trace of danger from this teenage boy, so weird.

"Haha, this batch of newcomers is a little uneven!" With a chuckle, he began to carefully check the golden register, and after finding that there was no problem, he walked to the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "The assessment fee, a spirit crystal, is paid by me." ”

"Do you still need a spirit crystal for the assessment fee?" Lu Yun frowned slightly, but after seeing that everyone looked like they were taken for granted, his brows immediately relaxed.

"Huh? The first Lu Yun. Commander Bear shouted.

Lu Yun stepped forward, and paid a spirit crystal very painfully, and then got a black number plate with a red 'one' written on it.

Di Ruoling touched Lu Yun's shoulder and said with a smile: "No, just one spirit crystal will make you uncomfortable like this." ”

"Of course, I'm a poor ghost, so you'd better stay away from me." Lu Yun said angrily.

"Giggle......" Seeing this, Di Ruoling couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Half a cup of tea after the time.

"Okay, you can go in, the number plate in your hand is your test number, you must keep it, if you lose it, then your spirit crystal will be wasted."

As soon as Commander Xiong's words fell, the four True Qi Realm martial artists guarding the gate automatically stood on the side, leaving a passage when they landed.

"Hee-hee, let's go in, grandpa must have been waiting inside for a long time."

Di Ruoling chuckled lightly, and dragged Lu Yun in.

Entering the gate rather embarrassed, a bright and transparent hall came into view.

Lu Yun's gaze swept across the hall, and his gaze first fell on the front desk in front of him, which looked like a judge's seat, and at this time there were seven alchemists of different ages sitting on it.

As for why he recognized them as alchemists at a glance, it was because Lu Yun saw that they were all uniformly equipped with a silver badge on their chests.

The silver badge has at least four Dan patterns.

Sitting in the middle was a female alchemist, who looked to be only about thirty or forty years old, but there were five Dan patterns on the silver badge on her chest.

Underneath the judges' bench, a huge hourglass is placed.

There was a constant stream of sand flowing down the hourglass, and about a quarter of the sand remained.

Below the judges' bench, in the center of the hall, forty cubicles were carefully arranged.

Inside each compartment was a small alchemy furnace, as well as other auxiliary alchemy utensils.

At this time, there is a busy figure in each cubicle, or there are few fireworks, or bursts of danxiang.

Immediately after, Lu Yun's gaze fell on the representative seats on both sides of the judges' table in the hall.

In front of the delegates on both sides, there was a big sign with the words "representative" on it.

On each delegate's seat, there is a small sign, on which there are words such as "so-and-so family, so-and-so", "so-and-so chamber of commerce, so-and-so" and "county government, so-and-so".

On the representative seat on the left, Lu Yun saw Elder Di Qing, who was chatting with the other two old men at this time.

One of the old men wore a silver badge on his chest, which was also inscribed with six Dan patterns.

In front of him, there was a small sign with the words 'Elder of the Danshi Alliance, Deng He'.

"Huh?" Lu Yun's gaze suddenly fell on the small sign in front of the other old man.

"Elder Fei Lingwu, Jiang Wen?"

Lu Yun wiped his eyes, making sure that he was indeed not mistaken, there was also an elder from the Martial Academy, which was greatly unexpected by him.

The current hall has gathered almost all the forces of Lingwu County, including the Martial Academy, the Danshi Alliance, the county government, and the great clans of Lingwu County.

Thinking of this, Lu Yun couldn't help but think about this Danshi Alliance again.

"According to the layout of this hall, almost every assessment has talented judges, representatives from all sides, is this just for fairness?"

Lu Yun shook his head slightly, it would definitely not be so simple.

At this moment, a soft and quiet voice sounded beside him.

"Everyone, please go to the assessment area and take a seat first, and then take the assessment with the number."

Led by a very handsome woman, Lu Yun and the others came to the back of the hall, that is, directly opposite the judges' seat, with forty small partitions in between.

"Old man Deng, what about your good grandson, why haven't you seen him yet, and the assessment is about to start?" After seeing Di Ruoling, who was already sitting on the assessment seat, Di Qing smiled slightly, and immediately swept the hourglass under the judges' seat, turned his head, and said to Deng He, who was talking and laughing with Jiang Wen.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there's still a sixth of the sand in the hourglass. With Yunhui's kid's character, it will not appear easily until the last moment. Deng He said unhurriedly, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his old face.

"That little girl in your family has always been happy to be quiet or not, and I don't know what level alchemy has reached now."

At the mention of Di Ruoling, the smile on Di Qing's face was even worse, and he said a little arrogantly: "Don't worry, it's definitely not weaker than that kid Yunhui." ”

"Hehe, that's hard to say!"

"You two are old bones, and you still like to fight as always." Seeing the two old guys beside him arguing again, Jiang Wen smiled faintly.
