Chapter 124: Alchemist Competition
Such a large-scale competition is actually a good training opportunity, and it is far more effective to compete with the many masters of the empire than to practice penance alone. γFull text readingγ{Starter} Yun Lin actually wants her son to participate in this competition. But he was afraid that this would jeopardize his safety. The contradiction was entangled for a few days, and Song Xinghai's opinion was also asked, and Song Xinghai didn't know how to decide. It's a rare opportunity that will have to wait four years if it's missed. In this regard, Song Xinghai also wanted his son to participate. But he and Yun Lin had the same concerns, afraid that after Song Li's alchemy talent was exposed, it would bring him harm.
In the end, Yun Lin decided to ask Song Li's opinion.
Once, when the mother and son were alchemy together in the alchemy room, taking the opportunity to rest, Yun Lin asked with a smile: "Son, there is something that my mother can't make up her mind and wants to ask your opinion." β
Song Li glanced at his mother and said with a smile: "Is it about the Alchemist Competition? You want me to participate, and you are afraid that my alchemy talent will be exposed too early and will bring danger to me, right?"
Yun Lin's eyes widened, her small mouth opened into an O-shape, and she looked at Song Li in disbelief. Sometimes she really wonders if her son is a monster. It's like becoming a jing, and he can't hide anything from him.
"You...... How do you know?" she stammered.
"That kid is a jack of all trades, and he will know that the dog at the south gate of the imperial capital marries the donkey at the north gate, not to mention this kind of big event that has caused a sensation in the whole city? I don't know how many times he has come to tell me. Song Li said with a smile: "Look at your tangled expression again, if I can't guess what's going on, is it still the son of Bing Xue's smart mother? β
"Alas, alas, whose son is this, why is he so smart, it's all up to me. Yun Lin was very useful for Song Li's sycophant, and said with a dazzled smile: "Then do you want to participate or don't want to participate?" Let me tell you, my mother is the judge of this competition. β
Song Li didn't answer his mother's words directly, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't the prizes be announced? The Alchemist Guild is so rich that it won't be so picky, right? β
Yun Lin glanced at Song Li angrily, she knew her son too well, a competition like this held by the Alchemist Guild, if there was no prize to stimulate him, this kid would probably not participate. What to compete with the masters, speed up the entry, these don't matter to him. Whose fire control ability is stronger than him? Whose entry can be faster than him? Only if he leads others forward, what can he learn from others?
What's the prize? Don't say it, Yun Lin really doesn't care about this. As long as the gold-lettered signboard of the Alchemist Guild is displayed, it is estimated that alchemists from all over the country will flock to participate, and what they care about is the recognition of the Alchemist Guild, who cares about what the prize is? Only Song Li, who is wonderful, will think of this problem.
Seeing that Yun Lin couldn't answer, Song Li was surprised: "Mom, you don't know what the prize of the competition is, right?"
Yun Lin was choked by Song Li, and said angrily: "Who said I don't know...... I really don't know, but I can show you. β
Song Li nodded helplessly and said, "Okay." If there's nothing to do, I'll go with you to the Alchemist Guild. β
He remembered Cui Lushu, the green-clothed girl he met in Fang City last time, she was an intermediate alchemist registered with the Alchemist Guild, I don't know if I could meet her in the past this time?
Yun Lin was an impatient, so he did what he said, and immediately took Song Li into the carriage and drove towards the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.
This is a magnificent building, Song Li at the first sight, he was reminded of the Gothic-domed cathedral of the previous life, the towering gatehouse towered, and the door plaque had five big characters: Alchemist Guild.
People say that the Alchemist Guild is richer than the country, and just looking at this magnificent and majestic building can be seen. Its majesty is not much better than that of the imperial palace.
In fact, the Alchemist Guild has a transcendent status in the Empire, is self-contained, and is not subject to any department of the Empire. When the Holy Emperor saw the elders of the Alchemist Guild, he had to give three points of courtesy. Song Li felt that from a certain point of view, the Alchemist Guild was a bit like the church in the previous life. The same self-contained system, the same transcendence, the same freedom from the government. It's just that the church sells faith, and the alchemist guild sells pills.
Occasionally, the registered alchemist of the guild passed by at the door, and they all looked at Song Li curiously, not knowing what this imposing young man was doing here. However, most of them knew Yun Lin, and everyone nodded and said hello. Song Li felt that the robes they were wearing were good, and Yun Lin quietly told him what color of the robe, a few pieces of star leaf grass patterns on the chest, what level of alchemist they represented. Song Li remembered that on the day in the Fang Market, Cui Lushu and Chen Gang were wearing such robes, and the eyes of the people in the Fang Market were full of admiration and envy when they looked at them. It seems that the identity of an alchemist is still very beneficial. Who doesn't want to be envied and respected by everyone when walking outside? Song Li felt that it was not bad to wear such a uniform, and he could go to the street and collect the envy and admiration of everyone, I was jealous of you!
Song Li paid attention to it, and went without finding Cui Lushu's figure among the alchemists who came and went.
"Son, what are you looking for with those eyes?" Yun Lin noticed Song Li's strangeness.
"I'm looking for a friend I know, she is also from the Alchemist Guild. Song Li replied absentmindedly.
"Oh, your friend is a man or a woman, how old is he, what's his name?" Yun Lin's curiosity flooded all at once.
Song Li's mind suddenly appeared three black lines, and he said, "I refuse to answer your questions. β
"I know, it must be a girl, or a young and beautiful girl! Tell me quickly, what's her name?" Yun Lin became even more energetic.
The three black lines on Song Li's head became more obvious, all of them said that women have a sixth sense, Song Li didn't believe it before, but now he believes it. He didn't say anything, and his mother guessed that it was a young and beautiful girl, and this was no longer a matter of IQ, not a sixth sense.
"Mom, why are you asking so much? Be careful and kill the cat with curiosity. Song Li said angrily.
"You're seventeen years old, mom has to find you a daughter-in-law quickly. As you said, this girl is a registered alchemist, and her status is so noble that she is worthy of my son! You tell me her name, so I can inquire about this girl's character and temperament, and if she is good, she will bring her to be your daughter-in-law. When Yun Lin said this, her eyes lit up, and she was full of energy. Song Li wondered, I was looking for my daughter-in-law and not you, why are you so excited?
"Mom, are you thinking too much? I've met people once, and I don't know their names. knew that she was a registered alchemist of the guild. "Song Li doesn't plan to tell his mother Cui Lushu's name, he knows his old lady too well, if she knows her name, she can really rush to people and ask, girl, are you willing to marry my son?
"In this way, then don't forget to ask the name the next time you meet someone, this kid, why did you forget this stubble, really. Yun Lin complained twice, and her attention immediately shifted to other things.
While the two of them were talking, they had already entered the interior of the guild building, Yun Lin took Song Li around the corner and came to the door of a room on the third floor, Song Li could see clearly, and the door number read "Pharmacy Laboratory".
The door was open, and Song Li could see everything in the room clearly, only to see an old man in a black robe with gray hair standing up like a hedgehog, with his back to them, not knowing what he was messing with.
Yun Lin motioned for Song Li to follow her in, and came behind the old man, Yun Lin was about to speak, but the old man shook his hand at them, signaling not to make a sound. At this moment, only a loud "bang" was heard, and a flash of fire appeared in front of the old man, which startled Song Li and Yun Lin.
"Alas, failed again...... What a disappointment......"
The old man turned around and saw that his face was scorched, like the bottom of a pot, obviously smoked by the smoke from the explosion just now, and Song Li laughed "hee", because he thought this little old man was too cute.
When the old man saw Yun Lin, he grinned, because his face was too dark, so his teeth were extraordinarily white, and he looked very funny, Song Li looked at the table behind the old man, which was full of bottles and jars, which contained liquids of various colors, and could be distinguished by the smell emitted by these liquids, which should be a medicine synthesized by drugs. It turned out that the old man was just doing a potion test. The pill is actually the product of the combination of several medicinal materials with different attributes, and it must have gone through countless drug tests before the Dan spectrum was produced. The types of drugs, ingredients, and the medicinal properties and effects of the drugs together cannot be the slightest mistake. After the test of the potion is successful, a new Dan spectrum can be written. Then popularize it to alchemists. This old man has just done this kind of creative work. However, it seems that he has just failed.
"Xiao Yunlin, why do you have time to come and see my old man's house, who is this little guy?" the old man asked with a smile without being embarrassed by his sloppy image.
"Lord, this is the dog Song Li. Yun Lin smiled and said, "Li'er, this is President Cui of the Alchemist Guild. He is the high-level alchemy master of our Holy Lion Empire. β
President Cui? He is also surnamed Cui? So what is the relationship between him and Cui Lushu? Song Li was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Song Li, the next child, please meet the elder." (http:οΌοΌ.οΌγ β
"Well, yes, yes, this kid is really aura, like you!" the elder looked at Song Li with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation.
"It's like a little monkey, it's very skinny," Yun Lin smiled: "President, I'm here to ask you about the prizes of this competition, we don't seem to have enough publicity in this regard." Many people have asked me this question, and I can't answer it. β
As if he remembered something, the elder slapped his head vigorously and said, "Look at my brain, I have forgotten about this. β
He opened a square cabinet, took out three rosewood boxes from it in turn, put them on the table, beckoned, and said with a smile: "That's all for the prizes, the top three will have prizes." You come and take a look and make an announcement about it. β
