Chapter 44, Alchemist
After Lao Luo left, Chang Yunluo, who was carrying a heart, also breathed a sigh of relief, what he was worried about did not happen, and the person named Lao Luo did not rise out and hurt Qingling.
Looking at Chang Yunluo, who was relieved, Qingling seemed to understand something, she walked up, obediently pulled Chang Yunluo's sleeve, and said:
"I'm sorry, young master, but I dragged you down. ”
"Nothing like that. Chang Yunluo held Qing Ling's little hand with his backhand and said with relief.
With that, he pulled Qing Ling and returned to the position of the beast cart. At this time, the middle-aged man who was driving for Chang Yunluo was sitting on the beast cart with a sad face, his eyes were a little distracted, and he was muttering to himself.
Chang Yunluo looked at it, and thought that the uncle who had just chatted with him was injured, so he hurriedly ran over, ready to inquire about the situation.
"For more than 20 years, I haven't had a car accident, why did I have a car accident this time!"
"My lord just boasted that I was an old driver!"
"If I had a car accident, I'm not an old driver. ”
Hearing that the uncle kept muttering a few words, Chang Yunluo couldn't cry or laugh, he came to him, patted the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "I said uncle, don't be sad, the old driver also makes mistakes, and some old drivers can't even find the steering wheel when they can't catch it off guard." ”
"Really?" the honest driver's eyes lit up.
"Naturally, it's true, I think back then, when I was mixed in the joke world, a quick turn of the way, and the wheels were thrown off often happened!" Chang Yunluo smiled slightly.
Listening to Chang Yunluo's words, the uncle instantly regained his vitality, although he didn't understand what the adult said, he didn't know the 'steering wheel' and 'paragraph world', but he could hear that this kind adult was comforting him!
One such big man came to comfort him, the little coachman, and he felt very satisfied.
After comforting the driving uncle, Chang Yunluo pulled Qing Ling into the room again, this time, he couldn't enjoy Qing Ling's massage like before, he had a lot to do!
And in Dongxin County, which is still half a day's drive away from Chang Yunluo's location, it is overcrowded at this time, and people from all over the world and various towns and counties have gathered here, they are not here to buy or sell things, but to participate in the annual alchemist conference!
Alchemist is a popular profession in the Blood Peak Continent, and in any place, as long as you say that you are an alchemist, you will inevitably be respected by everyone. Because, only an alchemist can turn the spirit grass, spirit fruit, and demon beast materials that people can't use into a medicinal liquid with mild spiritual power for people's cultivation needs.
Some people say that the alchemist is the crystallization of wisdom summarized from generation to generation, some people think that the alchemist is the knowledge granted by people from outside the world, and some people radically criticize it, saying that the alchemist is a piece of garbage, a group of Cheng Dan waste.
Regardless of whether these words were positive or negative, the status of the alchemists on the Blood Peak Continent had never been lowered. Compared with the foundry master and the medicine wine master, the status of the alchemist is not known how many times higher.
After all, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it can't withstand the ravages of time, and one's own cultivation can increase one's lifespan. And among the things that increase cultivation, although the medicine brewer can brew a spirit wine with milder spiritual power, but the long time of brewing wine is something that everyone can't wait.
These reasons have led to the unremitting pursuit of the profession of alchemist by the people on the Blood Peak Continent.
However, due to the fact that alchemy has very high requirements for a person's attention, concentration, carefulness, and other aspects, coupled with the need for a large number of spirit grasses, spirit fruits, and demon beast materials to practice, this has led to the fact that alchemists are still very rare in the Blood Peak Continent, especially those above level 6 alchemists are even rarer.
And this time they came to Dongxin County to participate in the Alchemist Conference, they were all children of some families in the town and county, they were trained as alchemists at a very young age, and with a lot of resources and their unremitting efforts, they are basically third-level alchemists now.
The purpose of their coming to Dongxin County today is to fight for a place to go to Ancheng, where they can improve their alchemy, and then go to Qingzhou to participate in the biennial alchemist conference, and get a chance to go to the national capital, where they will participate in the triennial alchemist conference, and finally gain the appreciation of the empire and get the inheritance of the alchemist!
The idea is good, but the reality is very harsh.
The Alchemist Conference is not a playhouse, it is not as simple as you think, this time, in Anseong, the county-level alchemist conference held in Dongxin County, the ratio of the number of places selected is one to 100, that is to say, among all the alchemists in the nine counties and eighty-one towns of Anseong, Dongxin County will pick out ten people and send them to Anseong!
Ten out of more than 1,000 people were selected, and the pressure of competition can be imagined.
However, even if this is the case, the families of the major towns and counties have gone to great lengths to send their own family children here, because the heads of each family know how rare it is for a family member to be able to cultivate a child of his own family into a high-level alchemist, or even an alchemist!
At the same time, compared to the overcrowded and noisy county, there was a peaceful and quiet atmosphere in the town lord's mansion.
"Sister, look at how these foods are, my sister also wasted a lot of effort to make it!" A woman in a fiery red dress, holding a plate of delicate desserts, came to a woman in a dark green dress, her willow-like eyebrows were slightly upturned, driving her watery and tender eyes, giving people a sense of tenderness.
"Thank you, sister, Chang Ying's appetite is not very good, and she doesn't want to eat more. The woman in the dark green dress glanced at the courteous woman next to her and said lightly.
Listening to the words of the woman in the dark green dress, the expression of the woman in the fiery red dress froze, her towering breasts rose and fell slightly, and then she said with a forced smile: "Since my sister has no appetite, then my sister will not bother." ”
With that, he put the dessert in his hand on the wooden table and turned away.
After the woman left, the woman in the dark green dress silently opened the window of the room, looked at the blue sky outside the window, sighed faintly, and muttered: "Brother." ”
In the town lord's mansion, in a small pavilion for rest.
A woman is snuggling in the arms of a man, and the two of them are smiling and talking about love while watching the flaming red fish playing in the water.
"Husband, do you think I look good today?" The woman looked at the man who had been looking at her, a little happy, smiled slightly, and stood up.
If the woman who just snuggled in the arms of a man is a shy lotus, then the woman who stands up now is a blooming peony!
I saw that the fiery red robe was tightly bound to the plump body, and the birds and beasts like the flaming phoenix were delicately woven and embroidered in the robe, and as the woman stood up, the birds and beasts seemed to be alive, wandering around the robe, delicate and smart. Looking closely at the woman, her jet-black hair was pulled into a Lingyun bun, and it was decorated with gold-cut bird and beast hairpins, which looked noble and gorgeous. Under the exquisite hair ornament, the tender face with a slight smile, and the two pairs of willow eyebrows with watery eyes are cleverly embellished on it, making the whole person tender like water.
When the man heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and when he saw his wife's disgusted expression, he hurriedly said, "Good-looking, good-looking, Madame is the most beautiful." ”
"Husband~" After hearing this, the woman smeared a blush on her face, revealing a little woman's attitude.
Just when the two of them were sweet, the woman who gave dessert to the dark green dress walked quickly to this place, and after seeing the two, she hurriedly pounced on the two of them, and said coquettishly with a smile: "Mother, father!"
"You girl!" the man glanced helplessly at the woman who separated him from his wife.
"What's wrong with my girl!?" the man's wife was not happy when she heard this, and her tender eyes were suddenly filled with flames.
"No, no!" the man hurriedly apologized.
"Hey, hey. The woman smirked.
"Jiao'er, how did you ask?, did that Chang Ying say?" After the woman finished coquettishly, the lady pulled the woman named Jiao'er aside and sat down, and asked.
Speaking of Chang Ying, the expression of this woman named Jiao'er changed, and her soft face flashed a trace of undeserved fierceness, and she said hatefully: "This white-eyed wolf who can't be raised is the same as asking her to hand over something and ask her to die!"
"Hmph, this little thing can't be seen without giving her some color!" Madame's face was also ruthless, completely different from the tender appearance just now, like two people.
"Madam, that's not good, anyway, that kid is also here to ask for help..." After hearing this, the man's face was bitter and a little unbearable.
"What? Are you taking a fancy to that little thing? Qi Guanyan, Qi Guanyan, you are so bold! If it weren't for me, would you be able to become the county lord in the fifth-level warrior? If it weren't for me, would you be able to advance to the sixth-level warrior smoothly? Now you dislike me, you are a bad man, you bastard!" Hearing Qi Guanyan plead with Chang Ying, Madame suddenly became angry, her fiery little mouth was like a cannon, and she said Qi Guanyan sentence after sentence.
"No, no, my favorite is Madame, who else in this world will be more beautiful than Madame! Who doesn't know the county lord's wife, who is both virtuous and beautiful! Who doesn't know..." Qi Guanyan hurriedly remedied, and words of praise kept coming out of his mouth.
After a while, Qi Guanyan wiped the sweat on his head, and pinched his shoulders for his wife with a smile on his face, when he saw Jiao'er looking at him and laughing, he wanted to stare back, but when he saw that his wife was still looking at him, he couldn't help but shudder.
"I don't think this little thing wants to hand over the rest of the things, forget it, I'll send her out this time at the Alchemist Conference. Madam withdrew her gaze from Qi Guanyan's body, her phoenix eyes were slight, and she said with a sneer.
Hearing this, Qi Guanyan had the heart to speak, but he didn't dare to say it, and finally puffed out his mouth twice and didn't say a word.
At this time, at the county gate of Winter Heart County, a one-armed middle-aged man drove a beast cart with a deflated room and was quickly rushing into Winter Heart County, and the target went straight to the county lord's mansion!
