Chapter 2216 No Two Candidates
"Bang bang bang..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"My lord, Laojun invites you to discuss matters in Ziyang Hall."
As an earth-level alchemist recognized by the Alchemist Association, Huang Rongxi has several apprentices under him. These apprentices are usually responsible for Huang Rongxi's daily necessities, and are no different from servants who do odd jobs. But once Huang Rongxi is happy, they can I will give some pointers to these apprentices.
This is also the main reason why Shulian apprentices are willing to serve as slaves and handmaids.
Sometimes, a word of advice from a high-level alchemist is far better than a hundred years of enlightenment.
Many well-known alchemists in the Alchemist Guild came here when they were young.
And after Huang Rongxi's rise in the Alchemy Masters Guild, there was even Huang Jie, a mysterious-rank alchemist who wanted to do chores for Huang Rongxi, but that didn't comply with the rules, and was stopped in time by the senior officials of the Shu Lianshi Guild.
And the Shulian apprentice who is talking outside the door right now is said to be the brother-in-law of a certain local Shulian master.
It doesn't matter, I want to join a well-known alchemist, but there is no such thing.
"Lao Jun is looking for me, is he trying to persuade me to give up the Hundred Refinements Secret Realm?" After hearing the voice from outside, Huang Rongxi collected his thoughts.
After thinking silently for a while, Huang Rongxi tidied up his clothes and walked out of this mansion located in the center of the Alchemist Guild.
...
Tushita Palace is the private residence of the Taishang Laojun.
In the Alchemy Masters Guild, as the president, Taishang Laojun has a special office area called Ziyang Hall.
At this moment, the Taishang Laojun was sitting upright on the Ziyang Hall, closing his eyes and meditating.
"The talent for skill training is no less than that of Huang Rongxi, but he insists on practicing all the way and stepping into the secret realm of hundred refinements." Thinking back to the news that the vice president, Ji Hongyu, just sent back, the Taishang Laojun twitched his brows.
The Shulian Masters Guild was established after the Heavenly Court, and Taishang Laojun was the longest president of the Shulian Masters Guild. Prior to this, the Alchemy Masters Guild had always been in a neutral position in various matters, ensuring the purity of the art and never striving for hegemony.
However, now that the Emperor of the Sea is enthroned, the forces of all parties are ready to move, and the Taishang Laojun has to plan for the future.
Throughout history, every time there was a great chaos, the alchemist would inevitably become a tool of war.
Especially during the war between the two clans, the alchemist had no freedom at all, but anyone with any strength was captured by the human race, monster race, or dragon race to work hard.
It was precisely because of the unfair treatment suffered during the war between the two clans that after the war between the two clans, those masters who were freed from the war joined hands to establish the alchemist guild.
After nearly 300,000 years of development, almost all the alchemists in the Three Realms have joined the alchemist guild.
But the more people, the greater the responsibility.
The Taishang Laojun never dared to forget the original intention of the establishment of the Art Masters Guild.
But a person's lifespan is limited after all, even if he is as powerful as Tianzun, it cannot be changed.
Taishang Laojun knew very well that it was impossible for him to be in charge of the Steering Technique Alchemist Guild all the time. Once he leaves, will the Alchemist Guild fall apart?
At this time, there must be a strong successor.
In fact, this issue was considered by Taishang Laojun thousands of years ago, and at that time, there were indeed two suitable candidates.
One is Ye Qingsui, and the other is Lian Tian Qiong.
The sad thing is that Ye Qingsui disappeared halfway, and Lian Tianqiong became more and more crazy, and now he has ignored common things, let alone the president, even the vice president doesn't understand.
It is also because of this that Taishang Laojun dare not resign for a long time, and there are even rumors that Taishang Laojun is greedy for power, but in fact, at Taishang Laojun's age and state, power is really fleeting.
The reason why he has been occupying the position of president is that he cannot find a suitable successor.
But not long ago, Taishang Laojun accidentally discovered a Shulian apprentice named Huang Rongxi. This Shulian apprentice has entered the Shulian Master Guild for several years. However, the formation pattern made the Taishang Laojun astonished as a heavenly man.
Take a closer look,
This Huang Rongxi is actually close to the level of an earth-level art refiner.
From apprenticeship to art master, even Ye Qingsui, who practiced sky at the beginning, couldn't do it.
Taishang Laojun opened the back door for the first time, mobilized various resources, and fully cultivated Huang Rongxi. After confirming that Huang Rongxi could pass the assessment of the earth-level art refiner, he immediately arranged for the grade-level assessment.
The purpose of doing this is to help Huang Rongxi establish prestige as soon as possible.
Taishang Laojun has already appointed Huang Rongxi as the next president of the Art Master Guild.
But just a few days ago, Huang Rongxi wandered around the realm, and when he came back, he threatened to enter the Hundred Refinements Secret Realm.
This is very worrying Taishang Laojun.
Taishang Laojun knows the danger of the Hundred Refinements Secret Realm best.
With Huang Rongxi's talent, maybe if he goes in, he can't get out. Therefore, Taishang Laojun personally found Huang Rongxi, presented the facts and reasoned, and told Huang Rongxi that for the alchemist, cultivation was not that important, and hoped that Huang Rongxi would give up the trial of the Hundred Refinements Secret Realm.
But Huang Rongxi just didn't listen, and even said that if he couldn't enter the Hundred Refinement Secret Realm, he would quit the Alchemist Guild.
Putting others aside, Taishang Laojun would have already slapped him away with a slap.
But in the face of Huang Rongxi, the successor who was discovered with great difficulty, Taishang Laojun really couldn't get anxious.
Since he couldn't be persuaded, Taishang Laojun accepted this reality. After all, Bailian Secret Realm is not a place of death. Instead of worrying about Huang Rongxi's safety, it is better to find a few bodyguards to help Huang Rongxi pass the pass smoothly.
But helplessly, Bailian Secret Realm has strict requirements on the age of entrants. Looking at the Three Realms, those who meet the age requirements are not able to protect Huang Rongxi at all, but need Huang Rongxi's protection.
After searching, there was one person who met the requirements, and that was Liu Lang.
However, Liu Lang is now the Emperor of the Sea. Even if he gave Liu Lang an Eight Desolation Cauldron back then, Liu Lang might not sell his face anymore. The key point is that this Hundred Refinement Secret Realm is controlled by the Heavenly Court. Could the Jade Emperor let Liu Lang enter?
And just when Taishang Laojun was at a loss, the vice president Ji Hongyu sent back a good news.
Ji Hongyu unexpectedly discovered a peerless genius who was not weaker than Huang Rongxi in talent as an alchemist.
For Ji Hongyu, Taishang Laojun still understands, except that his personality is a little more irritable, he is still very reliable in speaking and doing things. If Ji Hongyu is really exaggerated, then this peerless genius can be regarded as a member of the Alchemist Guild. Second successor.
However, Ji Hongyu's next words poured cold water on Taishang Laojun. Not only did the second successor not want to join the Artisan Master Guild, on the contrary, like Huang Rongxi, he also wanted to enter the Hundred Alchemy Secret Realm.
Taishang Laojun wondered if Ji Hongyu was deliberately angry with himself.
However, when Ji Hongyu explained his follow-up thoughts, Taishang Laojun gradually calmed down.
Didn't he just want to find a bodyguard for Huang Rongxi? This Liu Qing was simply the perfect bodyguard.
