Chapter 10 Fourth Brother! I Can only Do My Best
…
While Qian Xuefu was lamenting the unfairness of life, two or three more girls came over to strike up a conversation with Wang Shouye, but Wang Shouye rejected them one by one in a graceful manner.
Why is the gap between this person and other people so big?
Qian Xuefu lamented endlessly and at the same time secretly cheered himself up. Qian Xuefu, Qian Xuefu, after all you still have excellent alchemy skills. When he becomes a great alchemist in the future, the same "trouble" will definitely come to him.
When he thought of this, his fighting spirit suddenly ignited again in his heart, and he had new expectations for his future life.
At this time.
Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd, and someone exclaimed: "Master Dongfang is here... Wow, he is indeed a pillar of the younger generation in the alchemy world. He is so handsome!"
"What does being handsome have to do with being a pillar of alchemy? But speaking of it, Dongfang Yuxi is really powerful. I heard that she is the favorite to win the championship this time."
"Yes, he is a second-level high-level Lihuo bloodline. If it were not for the purpose of inheriting and supporting the declining Jinggang Dongfang clan, he would have entered the academy and become a core disciple. With his top attainments in alchemy, he might have Can become a direct disciple!"
"Alas~ It's a pity, it's a pity~ The Dongfang family is also an old family of heaven and humans, but now it can hardly complete the transition between heaven and humans. Young Master Dongfang has to make a lot of elixirs to support the family's expenses. Alas~ He has sacrificed too much for the family. many……"
With each word, many people's attention was attracted amidst the divergent opinions.
Even Wang Shouye couldn't help but look around curiously.
Sure enough, from the direction of the door, a young man was walking slowly in.
This man was dressed in white, and his face was like a crown jewel. He indeed looked like a handsome young man.
However, although he was handsome, his face was expressionless and his temperament was aloof and cold, as if someone owed him ten thousand gold.
But even so, there were still many girls around who were screaming and looking obsessed.
Wherever he passed, the crowd quickly parted to make way for him.
"Brother Qian, is this Dongfang Yuxi really that good at alchemy?" Wang Shouye asked curiously.
Changningwei is located in a remote area, and the information is far less well-informed than the county. In addition, he has always been immersed in alchemy and has no interest in worldly affairs. He has never heard of Dongfang Yuxi's name.
"Hmph, he's just a direct descendant of a declining seventh-grade family. With his appearance, people who don't know would think he is a direct descendant of a fifth-grade family." Qian Xuefu snorted coldly, his tone of voice full of strong emotions. There was a strong smell of jealousy, "However, when it comes to cultivation and alchemy talents, he still has some talents, which are about the same as mine."
"Is it really so powerful? This Master Alchemy Cauldron's disciple recruitment conference is really full of geniuses." Wang Shouye was amazed, and at the same time his expression became a little lonely, "This time, I really saw what it means to have someone outside. There is a sky beyond the sky.”
"Brother Wang, don't think too much. This time there was a mixed bag of applicants, at least thousands of people, but Master Alchemy only chose three people in the end." Qian Xuefu patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Think about it. , apart from your good looks, compared to your family background and alchemy skills, which one can make you into the top three? What's more, my old money has definitely occupied a spot. I'm afraid Dongfang Yuxi will also have to occupy it. As for...you, just treat it as if you are here to see the world and gain some experience."
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Qian Xuefu suddenly felt a sense of superiority.
"Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my fourth brother this time." Wang Shouye's mouth was filled with bitterness.
After all, he was still too young, and he didn't expect the competition in Master Danding's disciple recruitment conference to be so fierce.
And as time went by, many more people came in one after another, and popular candidates appeared one after another.
Most of these people come from sixth-grade families, and they are elite alchemists trained by their families since childhood. Although they are still young, they all have outstanding reputations.
In addition, there is another casual cultivator who is particularly eye-catching.
This casual cultivator is named "Si Xinghai". After he came in, he didn't pay attention to anyone. He just leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to meditate. He acted like he didn't want to let strangers in. He was completely incompatible with the lively atmosphere around him.
However, when he saw this person, Qian Xuefu's expression suddenly became serious: "Brother Wang, don't underestimate this Si Xinghai. Although he is a casual cultivator, he is very famous among the younger generation and has great alchemy skills. Extremely outstanding.”
"Perhaps in terms of hard power, he is not as good as Dongfang Yuxi, but he is from a non-commercial cultivator. You know, Alchemy Master himself is from a non-commercial cultivator, so he will definitely take special care of the non-commercial cultivators. As long as this kid doesn't behave too much, , the probability of being favored by the Alchemy Master is more than 50%. Before today, I heard some gossip, and it is said that the Alchemy Master appreciates him quite a lot."
Wang Shouye was suddenly speechless.
Even a casual cultivator is so powerful? In this case, there are only three places. How can he, Wang Shouye, fight for them?
That’s it~ You’ve come here, let’s give it a try~ At least, it has to be worthy of the family’s unwavering support over the years.
At this moment.
Lei Lingyun also returned after collecting information.
Her face was also not very good-looking, and she pursed her lips lightly and said: "Husband, I didn't expect that there would be so many young masters in Master Alchemy's apprenticeship conference this time. It's probably not easy to be selected. But Lingyun believes that, The husband must be the strongest..."
At this time, even though she was confident about the business, her tone was no longer so firm.
While he was talking, the closed door inside the alchemy workshop was suddenly opened from the inside, and a figure walked out slowly.
In an instant, there was silence in the noisy alchemy workshop.
Everyone knows that Master Alchemy is resting in the alchemy workshop. Anyone who can come out at this time must be a close associate of Master Alchemy.
Everyone looked closely and saw that it was a woman.
She was wearing a light blue gauze skirt, her steps were gentle, her figure was graceful, and her whole person was like a hibiscus emerging from the water, exuding a soothing elegance and tranquility.
Especially those eyes, which are as clear and clear as autumn water, making people forget the ordinary things.
"Gu Hanyu! It's Gu Hanyu, the two masters of elixir and medicine!"
I don't know who recognized it, and suddenly exclaimed.
The crowd was instantly in an uproar.
No one thought that this master of alchemy and medicine, who had become famous in recent years, was actually related to Master Alchemy Cauldron.
To be able to appear on behalf of the Alchemist Master at this moment, could it be that she is actually the disciple of the Alchemist Master?
The crowd was shocked and confused, and chatter broke out all of a sudden.
"Everyone, be quiet."
Gu Hanyu's cultivation has reached the late stage of the Lingtai realm. With a casual word, his voice boomed like thunder, and the surrounding noise was immediately suppressed.
She said calmly: "I am Gu Hanyu, a disciple of Master Alchemy Cauldron, and I am presiding over this apprenticeship assessment on behalf of Master. Now I announce the first rule..."
Wang Shouye was also surprised and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "I didn't expect Sister Hanyu to be a disciple of Master Alchemy. No wonder she is so powerful."
Speaking of which, Gu Hanyu is also famous in Changningwei, and he also has friendship and involvement with the Wang family. Wang Shouzhe even paid some price and asked Gu Hanyu to teach him some alchemy experience.
It was only in the past two years that Gu Hanyu left Changning Wei and traveled around the world. But I never thought that we could meet here.
"Huh? Brother Wang actually knows this beautiful senior sister? When you have time later, tell me more about her story." Qian Xuefu's eyes widened and he whispered, "I didn't expect that the Master already had a secret. Apprentice, you are still such a beautiful senior sister. Qian Xuefu, Qian Xuefu, your spring is coming."
"Brother Qian, be careful, sister Hanyu is very powerful." Wang Shouye hurriedly advised in a low voice.
"Awesome, senior sister, of course the more powerful you are, the more powerful you are...ah~" Before Qian Xuefu could finish his words, he saw a few rays of silver light fall on him.
Immediately, Qian Xuefu fell to the ground and screamed.
There were several shiny silver needles sticking out of his chest, which were obviously the hands of Gu Hanyu.
"Whoever dares to make noise again will end up like him." Gu Hanyu said with a cold face, "Anyone who offends again will be expelled from the examination room directly."
Her eyes swept across the entire place, and everything she passed was as silent as a chill.
Only when her eyes glanced at Wang Shouye, she paused slightly and showed some kindness. She didn't have such a domineering personality, but she had to suppress it forcibly in order for Master's disciple recruitment meeting to proceed smoothly.
as expected.
Under Gu Hanyu's strong suppression, the order at the scene suddenly improved a lot. All applicants were arranged into the backyard of Tianyuan Danfang for a unified assessment.
During this assessment, it was said that Master Alchemy was secretly observing with his spiritual sense, so naturally no one dared to cheat. Wang Shouye was also placed in an examination room and began to calm down and take the exam in a down-to-earth manner.
…
at the same time.
In the VIP hall in Tianyuan Danfang, representatives of major families have already gathered together. This gathering of disciples of Master Alchemy is very important to many aristocratic families.
Once a clan member is favored by Master Alchemy and accepted as a disciple, not only will he have high-quality connections like Master, but he will also be able to cultivate a very outstanding alchemy talent for the family. Especially for seventh-grade families, this opportunity is even more rare.
As the representative of the Wang family, Wang Shouzhe had been waiting in the VIP room for a long time, chatting with several familiar family heads.
Time passed little by little.
After several hours, this long exam finally came to an end.
Gu Hanyu sent someone to collect all the test papers, and arranged for everyone to be sent outside to wait. Then he took the test papers back to Danfang and had them reviewed.
It took another half an hour before all the examination papers were reviewed.
She then returned to the depths of Tianyuan Danfang with the test paper that passed the preliminary test, and opened a closed room door.
Inside the gate is a room with plain and simple decoration.
On the Arhat couch against the wall, there was an old man sitting cross-legged on a futon, closing his eyes and meditating.
The old man was wearing a simple gray robe. He had an ordinary appearance and a restrained aura, with a rustic atmosphere all over his body.
At first glance, he looked just like an old farmer selling vegetables on the street. Only his eyes were as deep and reserved as a deep pool, making people dare not look down on him for no reason.
This old man is the famous Master Alchemy.
Gu Hanyu held out a stack of test papers and said to Master Alchemy: "Master, a total of thirteen young alchemists have passed our test. This is their list and test papers."
"Among them, Dongfang Yuxi won the first place, Wang Shouye of the Ping An Wang family won the second place, Master's favorite casual cultivator Si Xinghai won the eleventh place, and Qian Xuefu of the Qian family won the thirteenth place. "
Master Alchemy took the test paper and flipped it over without looking at it carefully. Instead, he put it down again.
"Hanyu, I didn't want to accept a disciple as a teacher, but now I conduct a public assessment with great fanfare. Do you know why?" He looked at Gu Hanyu lightly and asked as if he was taking a test.
Gu Hanyu blinked a pair of bright eyes: "Master is a casual cultivator. Some powerful forces in Longzuo County worked together to 'admonish' Master, hoping that Master can pass on the alchemy technique."
"That's right, although I am a monk from the Purple Mansion, I am still just a casual cultivator, and I have to deal with all the major families." Master Danding sighed, "In order to deal with the chatter of those aristocratic families and the city guard, I just How many apprentices can you accept and let them share some of the cake? Therefore, the list of apprentices to be accepted this time cannot just be based on whose performance is good or bad."
"Then what Master means..." Gu Hanyu's eyes moved slightly, as if he was slightly worried.
"First of all, as a teacher, I am a casual cultivator, so I should take care of the casual cultivators. No matter how those aristocratic families object, I will definitely accept Si Xinghai." Master Danding said coldly, "That child Xinghai has the qualifications and understanding The tool is excellent, if it were not for his low background and systematic study, he would definitely be more than eleven."
Gu Hanyu nodded and drew a circle on Si Xinghai's name: "Master, what about the second admitted candidate?"
"Among the other candidates, the one with the strongest family background is Qian Xuefu." Master Danding thought for a while and said, "Although he is only thirteen, who told him to come from the Zifu family? Mr. Qian came to talk to him personally. I said hello, I’m afraid I can’t refute his face.”
The person who can make Master Alchemy address him as "Old Qian" is naturally the ancestor of Qian's Zifu Realm.
Gu Hanyu's pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Although she has a very bad impression of Qian Xuefu, as Master said, who can refute Qian Lao's face? It would be fine if he hadn't passed the assessment, but now...
She frowned and reluctantly drew a circle on Qian Xuefu's name.
Only the last spot is left.
Gu Hanyu was worried.
Wang Shouye is half of her disciple, so it is not easy to get second place in the exam. That's all, say a few nice words for him and see if you can squeeze Dongfang Yuxi down.
She also knew that Master usually spoke highly of Dongfang Yuxi, and would most likely choose him if nothing unexpected happened.
She was just about to speak.
Suddenly.
Master Alchemy sighed and said: "This Dongfang Yuxi can take first place, her basic skills are indeed solid enough. It's a pity, it's a pity, she has no chance to compete with my Alchemy."
"Ah?" Gu Hanyu was a little surprised.
"Second place is Wang Shouye." Master Danding's brows were slightly displeased, "The leader of the small Wang family in Changning is actually a disciple of Master Changchun, hum! That's all~ Who asked him to find the backstage to intercede? It’s too hard~”
After a pause, he sighed and said: "The last person is Wang Shouye. After all, his basic skills are not bad, and as a teacher, he cannot refute the prince's face."
Wang Shouye?
Prince?
Gu Hanyu swallowed back the words on his lips, his pretty eyes full of disbelief.
When did Shouye get involved with the county king?
…
