Chapter 40: Meet, the Assembly Begins

The next day, the gentle sunlight shone through the layers of clouds and breezes on every corner of Tianhua City, as if it also took away the hustle and bustle of the city and the irritability of the people.

There is a faint smell of medicine in the air, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.

This day is the alchemy conference that the headquarters of the Tianhua City Alchemist Association will hold every five years.

Before the sun had risen overhead, alchemists gathered from an inn or other place and walked in the direction of the headquarters of the Alchemist Association.

These alchemists, who were quite mysterious and noble in the eyes of others on weekdays, were anxious and expectant at this moment, and they appeared on their faces together.

Although their routes are different, their respective destinations are the headquarters of the Alchemist Association.

Then, the vendors on both sides of the street open their doors one after another, adding to the liveliness of the town.

From today onwards, it is the most important and special day in Tianhua City every five years.

On such a special day, Su You naturally got up early, but he didn't follow those alchemists to the Alchemist Association, but instead asked the inn guys to bring some signboards, and after breakfast, he sat in front of the window on the second floor of the inn and observed with great interest the alchemists who flocked to the Alchemist Association like an army.

"What? Are you interested in these people? ”

Not long after he got up, Jiang Nu'er, who was a little lazy and weak, sat down close to Su You, looking at the more and more alchemists on the street, and was also a little shocked, "It's really worthy of the alchemy conference personally initiated by the headquarters of the Alchemist Association, not only around the Tiandu Ling Mansion, but even the alchemists from the four major dynasties have arrived, aren't you afraid that Tianhua City will not be able to accommodate so many alchemists?" ”

"After all, alchemists are also people, and as long as they are human, they will have desires, and the desire of these alchemists is to stand out in the alchemy conference, so that they can get the attention of the alchemist association, and give themselves the opportunity to become more powerful alchemists."

Su You handed Jiang Nu'er a cup of freshly brewed fragrant tea, and responded with a chuckle: "And you can see that most of these alchemists are first-class and second-grade, and they are the people who need to express themselves at the alchemy conference the most, so they will set off to the alchemist association to participate in the alchemy conference so early." ”

"What about you?" Sipping a cup of fragrant tea, Jiang Nu'er's eyes narrowed slightly and showed a good-looking smile.

"Knowingly asked." Stretched out his hand and pinched Jiang Nu'er's face, and said with a helpless smile: "The winner of this alchemy conference will be able to obtain a six-grade pill, and normally, as long as you get a pill, you will have the opportunity to get the pill recipe for refining this pill, which is exactly what I need." ”

"Presumably you also know what a six-rank pill or a prescription of a six-rank pill represents, maybe even more noble than you, a Pure Realm cultivator."

"Let's go, we should get over too."

By the time there were fewer alchemists on the street, the road was much emptyer.

Su You took Jiang Nu'er and left the inn.

Leaving an inn and walking on the road to the Alchemist Association, the robe on Su You's body, which represented the four-grade alchemist, and the token on his waist that kept swaying with his pace attracted more and more eyes, and the eyes of those people looking at Su You were full of curiosity, shock and even awe.

When passing by Yichun Building, the girls who were leaning against the window and dressed boldly and brightly dressed were even more scratching their heads and greeting Su You and asking him to go up and play fun games with them.

Even those alchemists who were also walking on the road threw envious and reverent glances at him.

This is the status of the alchemist on this continent, even if this is a world where the weak eat the strong, and martial arts are respected, the status of the alchemist is still the top of all people, even the top cultivators on this continent have to give three points to the alchemist.

Slowly walked towards the Alchemist Association.

You can see that there are many alchemists with low expressions, and even tears in the corners of their eyes and cheeks, walking from the direction of the Alchemist Association, and they all lowered their heads as if they didn't want to see anyone again.

Alchemists in this situation appeared more and more as Su You got closer and closer to the Alchemist Association.

But Su You knew that these alchemists had actually been brushed down by the Alchemist Association, and thought that they were not qualified to participate in the next alchemy conference, so he was ready to leave Tianhua City.

Su You was unmoved by this, he wouldn't feel heartache because of the tears on these people's faces.

Because he knew that this was a normal phenomenon, as long as everyone who was born and raised in this world would have a similar experience, not only alchemists or refiners, but also cultivators.

Talent, background, etc., will affect everyone's success and failure.

And for alchemists, talent alone is enough to brush them down ninety.

There are only so many people who can really make it to the alchemy conference, and even fewer people are even less.

When they actually walked to the door of the Alchemist Association, there were no more people left there, which also made the space a lot empty.

Su You walked into it with Jiang Nu'er on his feet, and was about to go to the association to ask how to participate in the alchemy conference, when he happened to meet Zhongli Jiangnan, who was also in the hall, and his teacher Sun Miaosi.

Sun Miaosi saw the clothes Su You was wearing and the token on his waist, and immediately knew that his previous speculation was correct, so he took Zhongli Jiangnan forward to greet him and said, "Young man, let's meet again, I really didn't expect you to be promoted from a second-grade alchemist to a fourth-grade alchemist in just a few months, it's really amazing." ”

"This is my apprentice Zhongli Jiangnan, you have seen it in the Alchemist Association of Bailu City before, so I will not introduce them one by one."

"Master Sun, Zhongli Jiangnan girl." Su You smiled and said hello to Sun Miaosi and Zhongli Jiangnan, but did not introduce Jiang Nu'er beside him.

But Sun Miaosi didn't seem to need Su You to introduce him specifically.

I saw him look at Jiang Nu'er, who was wearing a veil on his face to cover his face, and said: "It's really surprising, I didn't expect to meet the chief auctioneer of Tai'an City Tiandu Auction House here, Miss Jiang, don't come unharmed." ”

Just when Su You and Zhongli Jiangnan were both curious about this.

Jiang Nu'er immediately spoke: "Master Sun is polite, if you hadn't handed over the pill you refined to me for auction, how could I have become the chief auctioneer so quickly, and I have to thank you very much." ”

"Hahahaha... I don't dare to admit this old man. Sun Miaosi shook her head and smiled: "But looking at your appearance, you should have left the Tiandu Auction House, I don't know if you are now..."

"I'm the protector of this little guy now." Jiang Nu'er did not shy away from it, and said bluntly.

Sun Miaosi didn't react after hearing this, but just said to Su You: "With your current level, you don't need to accept the current round of alchemy assessment, why don't you go with me to have a cup of tea?" ”

"Master Sun personally invited, but the juniors were disrespectful."

As soon as the words fell, Su You took Jiang Nu'er and Sun Miaosi's master and apprentice to the second floor of the Alchemist Association's headquarters.

Just walked up the stairs.

"Yo! Isn't this Su You. ”

Xu Weidong's frivolous and mocking voice, which made Su You's brows frown slightly, sounded in front of him.

is also accompanied by his grandfather, that is, the vice president of the Alchemist Association Headquarters, Xu Sanchuan, who has the same status as Sun Miaosi.

Maybe there was a grandfather on the side, Xu Sanchuan's posture was more confident and arrogant than before, and even directly swept past Sun Miaosi and walked directly in front of Su You, and whispered: "Do you know, since I knew that you had come to Tianhua City, I sent someone to carefully check your details, do you guess what I found in the end?" If you know each other, it's best to get out of Tianhua City immediately, and never appear in front of my Xu Weidong's eyes! ”

"Poof."

After listening to what Xu Weidong said, Su You was not only unmoved, but couldn't help but smile and said: "Then what do you think you can find, I don't know that the more famous I am, the easier it is to cause trouble?" But now that I'm standing here, I prove that I have a way to solve those troubles. ”

"As for you Xu Weidong, don't forget that there is a gambling agreement between the two of us, you have time to threaten me here, it is better to think about how to be less ashamed when it is our turn to participate in the alchemy conference."

"You!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Weidong, who couldn't get half a cent cheaper on Su You, was furious, but when he thought of so many alchemists around, as well as Zhongli Jiangnan and Sun Miaosi present, he forcibly swallowed all the dirty words in his mouth back into his stomach, and then returned to his grandfather with a gloomy face.

And Xu Sanchuan, who had a red beard, first opened a pair of deep and cloudy eyes and looked at Su You, and then said hello to Sun Miaosi in a non-serious tone, and then took Xu Weidong down the stairs.

Su You's gaze finally turned back to the front after Xu Sanchuan's figure completely disappeared.

Sun Miaosi noticed Su You's eyes, and asked curiously, "What?" You also know Xu Weidong's grandfather Xu Sanchuan? ”

"It's not an acquaintance."

Su You, who already had the answer in his heart after seeing Xu Sanchuan, shook his head and said, "I just think that the redbeard master is a little familiar, as if he is a little similar to someone I have seen in other places before, but maybe I was wrong." ”

"Since it's an admission of mistakes, don't worry."

"Come on, come on, these are all delicious foods that you have to taste when you come to Tianhua City."

Sun Miaosi is not a fool, he can tell that Su You is words as soon as he hears it, but since Su You is unwilling to say it, he will hide this suspicion in his heart first, and then invite Su You and Jiang Nu'er to rest in the inner hall on the second floor, and all kinds of delicious snacks and fragrant tea will be delivered.

Su You didn't refuse Sun Miaosi's kind invitation, but he just felt that Zhongli Jiangnan, a girl of the same age as himself, looked at him with a strange look.

"Tsk... No wonder I always feel a little creepy. ”

Glancing at Zhongli Jiangnan out of the corner of his eye, Su You couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "She is so competitive at a young age, it seems that only by defeating her head-on can she stop." ”

Then he turned his gaze to the window on the second floor.

Outside is the square in front of the gate of the Alchemist Association's headquarters.

At this time, the square has been arranged, and thousands of high platforms are scattered and arranged, and at the same time, many alchemists who have passed the first round of assessment are sitting on the stone platform and waiting for the start of the next round of alchemy assessment.

"When the assessment of these alchemists is over, it will be your turn to compete with them on the same stage."

Sun Miaosi stroked the beard on her chin and said with a smile: "I heard that in addition to the president and the other three vice presidents of our headquarters, there is also a mysterious guest who will appear in the next round of assessment, and that mysterious guest has a lot of power, so you two young people should work hard." ”

Hear the words.

Su You continued to look at the many alchemists on the stone platform in the square.

Zhongli Jiangnan's glass-like eyes were becoming more and more full of fighting intent.
