Li Da entered the palace with Zhang Qinglong according to the agreement between the two, and the emperor came slowly while waiting in the imperial study, Li Da suddenly bent down and said, "Long live you." Zhang Qinglong also bowed, Xuantian slightly wondered why Li Da brought this young man to the palace, he had seen Zhang Qinglong, in the battle of Tiandaozi, he saw that Zhang Qinglong was the weakest among the masters, but Xuantian didn't ask, he knew that Li Da brought this person for a reason, Xuantian waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be formal, I don't know why the prince came to the imperial city this time?" Li Da smiled slightly, pointed at Zhang Qinglong with his finger and said, "Your Majesty, I came for him this time." Xuantian was slightly startled, and then asked, "What's the matter?" Li Da said, "Your Majesty, my friend is an alchemist and wants to participate in this competition." Xuantian was slightly surprised, a simple three-word alchemist can make Xuantian pay attention to it, and his attitude is much better, Xuantian smiled slightly and said, "What are you doing in the palace to participate in the competition?" Li Da shook his head and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood, it's just that this friend of mine doesn't know the grading of this alchemy, please be gracious to the emperor." As soon as Xuantian heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously, even the alchemist who didn't know the level of the pill was not enough for him to pay attention to, but because of Li Da's face, Xuantian groaned slightly and said, "You two come with me." After speaking, he walked to the back hall, and Li Da and Zhang Qinglong glanced at each other and followed.

The two followed Xuantian to the back hall where the emperor specially received VIPs, and sat on the stool above the back hall, and when they saw the emperor coming, they just got up and nodded slightly, the shelf was not ordinarily big. This person is an old man, probably in his eighties, his face is full of red light, and there are few wrinkles on his face, not at all like an eighty-year-old man, Li Da knows that this person is an extraordinary person even if he is not a master, this person just nodded at Xuantian, and ignored Li Da and the others at all, this kind of arrogance Li Da has never seen before, and what makes Li Da even more strange is that Xuantian not only did not have dissatisfaction, but also said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, what do you live like here?" The old man said with a slight smile. Thank you, Your Majesty, I had a great stay here." Xuantian didn't care about the old man's disrespect, and let Li Da and the others out with a slight bow, and then said, "This is the king of my country, and this is a good friend of the prince." The old man just arched his hand slightly, and didn't speak at all, but Li Da clasped his hands into fists and said, "I've seen my predecessors, but I don't know the names of my predecessors?" The old man said proudly, "The old man's name is Zhang Shun,". Li Da was slightly startled, this is the medicine king Zhang Shun? Li Da suddenly clasped his hands into fists and said, "The juniors have seen the seniors," Zhang Shun just nodded. Xuantian saw Li Da's face, and hurriedly came up to play a round and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is also an alchemist, he came to learn about the level of alchemy when he came this time." After listening to the previous words, Zhang Shun was still a little surprised, but after listening to the latter words, Zhang Shun suddenly said with a face full of disdain: "The pills practiced by the alchemists are divided into nine levels, from one to nine, different levels have different effects, of which the ninth level is the highest, and the first level is the lowest," Zhang Qinglong hurriedly took out the recovery pill that he usually refined for everyone from the ring, and lowered it to Zhang Shun, and then said respectfully: "Senior, what level of pill is this pill?" Zhang Shun originally disdained to take it, but it was not good not to accept it in front of Xuantian, and took Zhang Qinglong's hand with disdain, just when Zhang Shun touched the pill with both hands, his face instantly became stunned, and Zhang Shun rubbed it on the pill with both hands with a stunned face, and the gray color on the pill was stained in Zhang Shun's hand, and then Zhang Shun couldn't wait to put the gray in his hand to his mouth and licked it, and then Zhang Shun's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Young man, how old are you this year?" The attitude was obviously much better, Zhang Qinglong scratched his head slightly and said, "The junior is twenty-three years old this year, I don't know what level of pill this pill belongs to?" Zhang Shun smiled slightly and said, "This little brother, this pill belongs to the second-grade pill, although the level is low, but it is not easy to practice this second-grade pill at your level," Zhang Qinglong was suddenly shocked, at this time his simplest elixir, Zhang Qinglong now has a little confidence, and Xuantian is eyes lit up, it turned out that there was such an existence as an alchemist in Li Da's team, and at least a second-level alchemist, this discovery made Xuantian overjoyed, and suddenly the attitude towards Zhang Qinglong and Li Da was really a 180-degree turn, Li Da knew that his goal had been achieved, and he didn't stay for a long time and didn't let Zhang Qinglong speak, said hello to the emperor and Zhang Shun, and after a few greetings, he went back to the hotel, Xuantian always had a smile on his face, and sent the two of them to the palace。

Li Da returned to the hotel and told everyone about the things in the palace, and the most excited among them belonged to Li Donglin, who had now seen that the bonuses were in front of his eyes.

In the past few days, Zhang Qinglong has not been with everyone at all, and just one day later, the emperor actually came to pick up Zhang Qinglong in person, and the emperor said with a smile" This is not suitable for Zhang Qinglong to refine medicine, there is a special place for alchemists to refine medicine in the imperial city, let Zhang Qinglong go there to refine medicine, and there is still a month for the alchemy conference to begin, at this time, this kind of alchemists are working hard in the early stage of the competition to refine medicine, and strive to make their results go to the highest, even if they can't get the championship, they have to leave an impression on the emperor, in case the emperor likes himself, then he will leap into the dragon, Zhang Qinglong of course happily agreed, Zhang Qinglong also has his own ideas, now what he is poor is not the technique, but the material and the experience of failure, in fact, everyone has never seen Zhang Qinglong refining medicineIn fact, the so-called alchemy is to fuse various herbs together, which is simple but difficult to do, which requires a skill, this skill is the ability to use fire, the ability of fire is the most important, not only to use the hand * arson, but also to * * arson with the hand, but also * If the fire is big, the material will be destroyed, and if the fire is small, the material will not be fused together, and the essence of the material will be burned for a long time, and the more precious the material will be * arson, the higher the requirements for arson, if you are not careful, all the materials will be scrapped, followed by this big tripod used to hold fire, this big tripod must be made of good materials, which has a lot of exquisiteness, such as the best millennium black iron, this millennium dark iron can make the fire easier to fuse, and these palaces can not have it? What's more, the emperor also promised Zhang Qinglong that the materials would come out from the royal family, but the condition was that Zhang Qinglong must participate in the competition in the name of the royal family, but the prizes obtained in the competition belonged to him, if he won the top three in the competition, the royal family would have another reward, everyone felt that this was a very cost-effective method, and everyone agreed directly without discussing it, Zhang Qinglong was not taken away by the emperor, and everyone was looking forward to the start of the competition.
