577. Chapter 577 Make up for the Mistakes (1/2)
"Deal?" The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Yan up and down, distrust in his eyes, "What deal?"
"Young man was watching from the side just now. Do you want your family to be qualified to participate in the alchemy meeting?" Xiao Yan looked at the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice: "I can help you with this matter."
"Help me? How?"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows lightly, and Xiao Yan answered slowly.
"I can serve as the alchemist you hire to qualify for your family to compete. If you successfully qualify for the competition, I will be happy to compete on your behalf."
After hearing Xiao Yan's words, the middle-aged man looked Xiao Yan up and down with uncertain eyes, and asked after a long time.
"What level of alchemist are you now?"
Asking like this, the middle-aged man also felt hopeful because of Xiao Yan's confident words.
With the current situation of his Ye family, there is no need for Xiao Yan to be a seventh-grade alchemist at the same level as Cao Ying. As long as he can reach the sixth grade, he will be satisfied, and at least he will have a chance to give it a try.
However, Xiao Yan's next answer made him suddenly freeze on the spot.
"I'm sorry, the boy is only a third-grade alchemist now."
"Three" The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time, and then he tightened his grip on Xiao Yan's collar with a ferocious expression. He was already in a bad mood and yelled angrily, "You kid! Are you kidding me?!"
Faced with such an angry roar from the middle-aged man, Xiao Yan's expression remained calm. Before he could speak, a jade hand stretched out from the side and squeezed the middle-aged man's arm tightly. It hurt him and he had to let go. He grabbed Xiao Yan's collar and looked at Feng Qing'er who looked unhappy next to Xiao Yan in shock.
"Just talk, don't do anything casually." Feng Qing'er narrowed her eyes slightly, gently shook off the middle-aged man's hand, her tone was very low, "Also, before you get angry next time, listen to what others have to say."
Although Feng Qing'er was stunned when Xiao Yan revealed that he was a third-grade alchemist, she believed in Xiao Yan. Although he would always do some reckless things at critical moments, Xiao Yan himself was indeed very self-aware, and he was by no means a A character who enjoys teasing others.
Since he can propose a trade so confidently, he must have his own reasons.
The middle-aged man felt his aching arm and looked at Feng Qing'er with a hint of fear in his eyes.
How can I say that I am also a three-star Douzong, but I can't resist her power at all? She obviously looks about the same age as her daughter and has such strength. What is her identity?
While the middle-aged man was thinking about everything, Xiao Yan looked at him and spoke again.
"Please calm down, I didn't mean to play tricks on you." Xiao Yan spread out a hand and explained slowly, "It was a few years ago that I passed the exam to become a third-grade alchemist. In the past few years, I have been busy with various things. I don’t have the chance to take the assessment again, so I’m only in the third grade.”
"Senior, please rest assured. With the kid's current level of medicine refining, even seventh-grade elixirs may not be impossible to refine."
Is it even possible to refine seventh-grade elixirs? !
The middle-aged man's pupils suddenly tightened, and the anger that Xiao Yan had just thought was washing away was instantly swept away, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
If what Xiao Yan said is true, then he has really found a treasure!
However, soon, the middle-aged man calmed down.
No matter how powerful it sounds, it is just words after all, and the possibility of Xiao Yan's self-exaggeration cannot be ruled out.
The middle-aged man touched the beard on his chin, lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Xiao Yan and asked.
"Leaving aside whether you really have this ability, what kind of reward do you want? You can't ask for nothing, right?"
Helping others for no reason is simply a fantasy, and the middle-aged man will definitely not believe it.
Xiao Yan didn't hide anything about this and answered.
"The prize for the champion of this alchemy competition contains the medicinal materials I need. The only reward I want is this." Xiao Yan paused and then said calmly: "If the boy is lucky enough to win the championship, apart from the medicinal materials, there will be nothing left. Whether it’s reputation, money, or anything else, I don’t have to give it up.”
Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't see any sign of lying in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he felt a little more relaxed.
He doesn't seem like the kind of person who has a smooth tongue.
"It's not necessary to be so generous. It doesn't matter to me whether I win the championship or not. All my Ye family wants is the qualification to compete again." The middle-aged man said, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, this time It’s not just the enchantress from the Cao family who came to the Dan meeting, there are also many other young talents.”
"To put it bluntly, even if you are really a sixth-grade alchemist, I'm afraid you won't be good enough in this alchemy competition, and you won't even be able to pass the level of the Cao family witch."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he observed Xiao Yan's reaction and saw no hesitation on Xiao Yan's face as he said Zheng Sheng.
"The Dan Pagoda is the holy place for all alchemists. Naturally, I won't brazenly declare that I can win the championship." Xiao Yan's eyes were solemn and his voice was sharp, "But I can guarantee that I will do my best. "
"."
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yan's firm eyes and seemed to sense Xiao Yan's reliability, and he softly persuaded himself in his heart.
No matter what, even if he didn't make a deal with this kid, he wouldn't be able to find an alchemist who could fight against the Cao family's witch in just a few days. What's more, with someone of Feng Qing'er's level accompanying him, it would be impossible for this kid to come. Not a simple character.
Instead of waiting for death in despair, it is better to take a gamble with hope.
"The deal is established." The middle-aged man extended his hand to Xiao Yan, "My name is Ye Zhen, the head of the Ye family."
"Junior Xiao Yan, please give me some advice."
Xiao Yan also stretched out his hand to hold it with Ye Zhen. At this moment, Feng Qing'er next to him suddenly remembered something.
"Ye family? Is that the family that was removed from the five major families by Danta before?"
"."
As soon as Feng Qing'er finished speaking, Ye Zhen's face suddenly darkened, and his expression was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
Although his reputation was far-reaching, he still had a terrible stench. Just being mentioned by others made Ye Zhen feel ashamed and he didn't even have the desire to get angry.
After all, the reason for being removed was indeed too embarrassing, so embarrassing that it was laughable.
"Feng Qing'er, it's better to avoid saying this."
Xiao Yan also noticed Ye Zhen's ugly face and said this to Feng Qing'er with some embarrassment, but Ye Zhen sighed deeply.
"Don't blame her for speaking frankly. The fact is that being expelled from the Danta is the fault of our Ye family. We can't blame others." Ye Zhen looked up at the sky and sighed leisurely, "If I hadn't been the leader of the clan, In order to fight for the reputation of my son, my father found someone to buy a championship. The Ye family will not be removed from the five major Danta families and will be banned for thirty years. "
"In the final analysis, I also had a problem with not being able to refuse sternly at that time. It was because I was greedy and wanted to take shortcuts. I have no right to complain."
Looking at Ye Zhen with a face full of shame, Xiao Yan felt uncomfortable, and the medicine was even worse.
They are now certain that Ye Zhen is the rich boy who was resold by Yao Shen to be the champion of the Dan Society.
It is true that the Ye family was wrong at the beginning, but it does not mean that what Yao Shen did was okay. If either party had been able to curb greed, this matter would not have ended like this.
Ye Zhen shook his head lightly, his expression recovered, and he looked at Xiao Yan and said.
"In short, I will take you to take the alchemist assessment first. Regardless of your actual level of alchemy, the qualifications of a third-grade alchemist are definitely not enough."
"Then I'll ask you to lead the way." Xiao Yan came to his senses, nodded solemnly, and then promised again, "Don't worry, now that the deal has been established, I will do my best." Even if it's just a little, Xiao Yan also wants to use his own efforts to make up for the mistakes Yao Shen made as much as possible. This is his obligation as a disciple.
Looking at Xiao Yan with a serious face, Ye Zhen's expression was startled, then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.
"Come with me, I will take you to take the alchemist examination now."
"Um."
Xiao Yan nodded and followed, and Feng Qing'er also followed behind Xiao Yan.
On the way, Yao Shen's guilty voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.
(Sorry, I need your help to make up for my mistakes as a teacher again.)
Yao Shen is real, he is sincerely reflecting on it, and this is all thanks to Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan didn't have this kind of character, Yao Shen might never take this matter to heart.
It was precisely because he had witnessed Xiao Yan's experiences along the way that Yao Shen felt so ashamed from the bottom of his heart.
As a teacher, I am so miserable and embarrassed compared to my disciples.
In response, Xiao Yan smiled lightly and said softly.
(Senior Yao, you don’t have to apologize. No matter who you are, you will always make mistakes in your life. Fortunately, the mistakes you made can be repaired.) Xiao Yan’s eyes were shining brightly, and his heart was clear and firm. (For Teacher It’s a disciple’s duty to make up for the mistakes he made in the past, isn’t it?
(Xiao Yanzi)
Yao Chen's eyes flashed with light, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Meeting Xiao Yan and having Xiao Yan become his disciple must be the luckiest thing in his life.
Not long after, Ye Zhen led Xiao Yan and the two of them to a building that looked solemn but luxurious. Ye Zhen said something to the guard at the door, and then the guard opened the door. Ye Zhen led the two of Xiao Yan. Entered the building.
"This is the temporary alchemist examination location set up by Holy Pill City."
Walking in the long corridor, Ye Zhen explained to Xiao Yan softly, and Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"temporary?"
"Well, a few days before each alchemy meeting is about to start, many hidden alchemy masters will come to participate. Those alchemy masters are in a similar situation to you. They are all focused on refining alchemy and have no time to take formal assessments. So Danta specially set up this temporary assessment venue so that they can obtain the corresponding qualifications.”
Ye Zhen looked sideways at Xiao Yan and continued.
"There aren't that many rules in the assessment. As long as you can refine the alchemist-level elixir you want to obtain, there is no limit to the number of times."
"Unlimited?"
Xiao Yan was stunned, and Ye Zhen opened his mouth to explain.
"After all, the higher the level of elixirs, the greater the failure rate. It is impossible for a seventh-grade alchemist to guarantee that he can successfully refine a seventh-grade elixir, and the elixir tower will not deny the examiner just because of one failure." Ye Zhen After a pause, he continued: "But you have to prepare your own medicinal materials, and Danta has no obligation to let others waste his medicinal materials."
"That's true."
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement, and Ye Zhen asked softly.
"Do you have the corresponding medicinal materials with you? I have some temporarily prepared here to see if you need them. Consider it an investment."
"It doesn't matter. Please don't worry about this. I already have the medicinal materials prepared by myself."
Xiao Yan declined with a smile, and Ye Zhen asked casually without forcing him.
"Then what level are you planning to take?"
"Seventh grade."
Xiao Yan said without hesitation that he had just gathered the materials for the Heavenly Soul Blood Melting Pill, so he took this opportunity to refine it and obtain the certification of a seventh-grade alchemist. It was a double kill.
"Seventh rank, wait?" Ye Zhen didn't react at first, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Yan to confirm again, "Seventh rank?"
"Well, although I can't 100% guarantee that the elixir will turn out, it can still be refined."
Ye Zhen stared blankly at the smiling Xiao Yan, his mind unable to turn around for a long time.
To be honest, in his mind, it was already very good that Xiao Yan could refine the sixth grade, but he didn't expect that he could even refine the seventh grade?
When Ye Zhen was shocked, the three of them also came to the inner door. As soon as they passed the exam, the inner door was opened, and a stooped old man appeared in the field of vision of Xiao Yan and the others.
Although the old man seemed weak, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that the other man's powerful soul was obviously not just an ordinary person.
"Ye Zhen, it's you." The old man glanced at Ye Zhen and said leisurely: "You better give up. Elder Xuanyi's rule is obviously aimed at your Ye family. As long as Elder Xuanyi is here for one day, your Ye family will It’s impossible to go back to Danta.”
"Well, people have to fight hard. It doesn't matter how old I am, but I can't let my girl get involved with her stupid father. At least she must be treated fairly by Danta."
Ye Zhen sighed softly, and the old man responded softly, but did not continue the topic and asked.
"Then who will take part in the assessment this time?"
"It's me." Xiao Yan stood up, bowed his hands to the old man in a reasonable manner, and bowed his head in greeting, "Junior Xiao Yan, I have met my senior."
"Hey~ He is a very polite child. In recent years, all the young people who have become alchemists have become more and more ambitious."
The old man seemed to have a good first impression of Xiao Yan, and turned around immediately.
"Come with me, the others are waiting outside."
"yes."
Xiao Yan responded and immediately took the coffin off his back and handed it to Feng Qing'er.
"Feng Qing'er, please keep it safe first."
"Um."
Feng Qing'er nodded, took the coffin, and then she and Ye Zhen watched Xiao Yan follow the old man into the room, and the inner door was immediately closed heavily.
After Xiao Yan entered, Ye Zhen looked at the dark inner door with worry in his eyes.
"Seventh grade elixir. Is he really okay?"
"Don't worry." Feng Qing'er placed her palm lightly against the coffin and spoke softly, "Although I don't know how to refine medicine, I understand him."
Saying this, Feng Qing'er's eyes revealed her confidence in Xiao Yan.
"Since he said he can do it, then he can definitely do it." (End of Chapter)
