578. Chapter 578: Evil Chief Xiao Yan (1/2)
On the Dan Tower, a charming mature woman stood by the window, folding her arms and looking at the alchemists at the registration office. Each person had a different expression.
Whether excited, confident, or frustrated, there was no need to ask about the registration results, just looking at the expressions on their faces would tell.
And this beautiful mature woman was one of the three giants of Dan Tower today, Elder Xuanyi.
At this time, Xuanyi looked at the registration office and recalled someone. His eyes revealed deep resentment, but a closer look revealed that there was a hint of expectation in this resentment.
It has been decades, and there has been no news about that guy.
Xuanyi was sad, but couldn't help but feel ridiculous about the sadness in his heart.
People are all cheap, this is true.
When she was still there, he hated her to the extreme. She came to Dan Tower several times to apologize to him, but he refused her.
At that time, Xuanyi was really disgusted with her behavior.
His heart had been broken by her, what was the use of apologizing?
However, now that she has been missing for such a long time, I am worried about her safety. There is no other word to describe myself except "cheap bone".
"Teacher."
A pleasant voice came from behind. Xuan Yi turned his head slightly, and a tall and beautiful woman walked slowly. Although her temperament was similar to Xuan Yi, compared with Xuan Yi's maturity, this woman seemed a little immature.
Xuan Yi's disciple, Cao Ying, a seventh-grade alchemist known as the Cao family's demon girl.
"Teacher, the number of people who signed up today is less than half of the previous few days. Almost all those who should have come should have come." Cao Ying gently raised a jade hand, and her charming voice sounded slowly, "And like in previous years, there are also many alchemists who have been silent for a long time to participate in the competition this year. It seems that this year's alchemy will be quite lively."
"Humph, running to compete with young people, it's really a shame for those old guys to lose face."
Xuan Yi snorted with some disdain, and then a mocking look appeared in his eyes.
Forget about previous years. There are many talented young people participating in this year's competition. It may not be so easy for those old guys to take advantage.
"In addition, the thing you asked me to keep an eye on before." Cao Ying looked at Xuan Yi and spoke again, "Until now, there is still no one with the recommendation qualification of Xingyun Pavilion or Yao Zunzeng."
Speaking of this, Cao Ying couldn't help but feel confused. It was obviously Xuan Yi who added that rule himself, but every year he asked her to keep an eye on whether anyone showed the recommendation qualification of Xingyun Pavilion or Yao Zunzeng. If there was, she would directly approve the other party to participate in the competition.
No? Since you can directly agree to the other party's participation, why bother to list that rule? Teacher, are you free?
Cao Ying couldn't help thinking about this in her heart, but she didn't ask.
I heard from Elder Xuan Kongzi that the teacher and Yao Zunzeng had some disputes. Could it be related to this?
Xuan Yi heard Cao Ying's report. Although he had expected it in his heart, he still couldn't hide his disappointment.
"Still not coming?"
"By the way, there is one more thing. Ye Zhen, the head of the Ye family, has been arguing at the registration office these days. The Danta staff at the registration office have told me several times."
Cao Ying suddenly remembered something about this matter and opened her mouth to tell him so. After listening to it, Xuan Yi's face disappeared instantly, and he showed deep disgust.
"I have already said that as long as they can find someone to compete with you in soul power, I will agree to their Ye family to participate in the competition." Xuan Yi looked at Cao Ying and said coldly: "What the Ye family did at the beginning was equivalent to slapping Danta directly. It was a special favor from the ancestor that they did not directly expel them from Shengdan City forever. How can they have the face to come to Danta to argue?"
They dared to buy and sell the honor of the champion of the Dan Association outside the venue. This is the first time since the establishment of Danta. It can definitely be said that it has never been seen before and will never be seen again. Both the seller and the buyer are outrageous to the extreme.
How does that sentence go? One dares to sell, and the other dares to buy.
However, even though they committed such a big mistake, the Danta Patriarch only removed the Ye family from the five major families of Danta and banned them for 30 years. Until now, Xuanyi still felt that the punishment given to the Ye family by the Danta Patriarch was too light.
"In short, when the Ye family comes again, tell them directly that if they don't meet my requirements, they will never be able to participate in the Alchemy Conference!"
Crack!
At the moment when Xuanyi's words fell, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the blue sky in the distance, stopping everyone in Shengdan City for a moment and looking over.
Xuanyi and Cao Ying also stared blankly at the direction where the lightning struck. As alchemists, they naturally knew that it was the Dan Lei that would only appear when the seventh-grade and above elixirs were successfully refined!
"Another seventh-grade elixir has been born!"
"This year's elixir fair is really incredible."
"I wonder if the one who made the elixir is a long-established old monster or a young talent?"
"Don't be afraid, the Cao family witch, the Dan family girl, and Song Qing are already scary enough, why is there another one?!"
While passers-by were talking about it, Xuan Yi frowned as he looked at the direction where the elixir thunder struck.
That direction was the temporary alchemist qualification examination site set up by the Dan Tower. It seemed that someone had made a seventh-grade elixir during the examination.
Were they those long-established old guys? Or were they a monstrous genius like Cao Ying?
While Xuan Yi was thinking in her mind, Cao Ying stood behind Xuan Yi, stroking her lips with her jade hand, looking in that direction with her beautiful eyes, with an amused smile on her face.
It seems that this year’s Dan Conference will not be boring at all~
At the temporary assessment site set up by Danta, Ye Zhen stood outside the door, looking up at the shattered ceiling. His eyes and mouth were already open, and his heart was filled with unspeakable shock.
Dan Lei! The elixir that only appears when the elixir of level seven or above becomes an elixir!
Xiao Yan was actually able to successfully refine seventh-grade elixirs!
After the shock, Ye Zhen's face showed ecstasy.
Although he had reached a deal with Xiao Yan before, in fact Ye Zhen just held the idea of breaking the pot and breaking it. In fact, he did not have much confidence in placing his last hope on Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan could refine a sixth-grade elixir. The medicine has far exceeded Ye Zhen's expectations.
But he never expected that Xiao Yan would successfully refine a seventh-grade elixir!
Feng Qing'er was protecting the little medical fairy's coffin, looking up at the transparent ceiling, and murmuring in her heart.
This is Dan Lei. It’s the first time I’ve seen him.
Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of Feng Qing'er's mouth.
To be able to refine a seventh-grade elixir, Xiao Yan really never surprises anyone.
At this time, the inner door was pushed open, and Xiao Yan walked out with a slight cough, with a faint smell of burnt blackness on his body.
This was the first time he refined a seventh-grade elixir. Xiao Yan was really caught off guard when the elixir struck down, but he was not seriously injured.
"Xiao Yan."
Feng Qing'er came forward with the coffin on her back, and Ye Zhen rushed forward even more excitedly, clasping Xiao Yan's hands and shaking them up and down with tears in his eyes.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you really exceeded my expectations!"
Originally, Ye Zhen's heart was still hanging on the edge of his chest, but this shot of pill thunder directly made Ye Zhen's heart drop, not to mention how excited he was. "Haha, it's just a fluke. You don't have to be so excited."
Xiao Yan chuckled humbly, and then an old voice came from behind him.
"Ye Zhen, it seems that your Ye family is really lucky this time." The old man who witnessed the assessment slowly walked out with his hands behind his back, his eyes shining, "Based on the judgment I just made from watching from the sidelines, This boy’s soul power may not be able to compete with that of the Cao family enchantress.”
Hearing what the old man said, Ye Zhen's expression was even more overjoyed, while Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the old man with apology in his eyes.
"I'm very sorry for destroying the building here."
"It doesn't matter. This is just a temporary assessment location. It doesn't cost a lot of money. It's a blessing to be destroyed by the seventh-grade Dan Lei."
The old man chuckled, and his old eyes opened slightly to look at Xiao Yan in front of him. Then he put his withered palm into his arms and took out a valuable-looking badge with the Danta's coat of arms printed on it. , the coat of arms is also dotted with seven stars.
This is the seventh-grade alchemist qualification badge certified by Danta.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yan bowed to the old man and immediately took the coffin kept by Feng Qing'er and carried it on his back. He looked at Ye Zhen and said, "Master Ye, let's go."
Watching Xiao Yan and the others leave, the old man gently stroked his beard, raised his head slightly and looked at the open ceiling, sighing leisurely.
"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The enchantress from the Cao family, the girl from the Dan family, and that Song Qing, and now there's this kid. It seems that these old guys who want to take advantage of this year are going to be hit hard~"
The perspective shifted. After leaving the alchemist assessment office, Ye Zhen led Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er to the Ye family.
As they hurried along, Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er followed Ye Zhen to the corner of Shengdan City. As they got closer and closer to Ye's home, the population here became increasingly sparse, leaving Xiao Yan I learned about the current situation of the Ye family from the side.
They were clearly one of the five major Danta families, but now they are huddled in this desolate corner of Shengdan City. This is almost the same as being exiled.
"Sorry for making you laugh."
Ye Zhen also knew that it was a bit embarrassing for his family to stay in this place, and he coughed slightly in shame. To be honest, his father had worked hard to get this corner, otherwise the entire Ye family would have been expelled from Shengdan City. .
"Master, welcome back."
The guard at the door looked at Ye Zhen respectfully. Ye Zhen nodded slightly and turned slightly to reveal Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er behind him.
"These two are distinguished guests of the Ye family. Now go and prepare guest rooms for these two, and then inform Xin Lan to come to the living room."
"yes!"
The guard responded respectfully, but the little medical fairy in Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up.
(Xinlan? Ye Xinlan?)
(What’s wrong, little medical fairy?)
Xiao Yan asked inwardly, and the little medical fairy responded after being silent for a while.
(There was also a girl with this name in the Heavenly Medical Center in Black Corner Territory before. It must not be such a coincidence.)
The little medical fairy said softly, and Ye Zhen turned to look at Xiao Yan.
"Little brother Xiao Yan, please come with me."
Ye Zhen led Xiao Yan and the two to the living room of the Ye family and invited them to sit down. The servant also served hot tea for Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er. During the tea, Ye Zhen chatted with Xiao Yan enthusiastically.
"God has blessed my Ye family this time. I am so lucky to have met a genius like you by chance."
Ye Zhen said with a smile on his face, while Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly.
"I really can't be called a genius. To be honest, this was my first time refining a seventh-grade elixir. I didn't expect to succeed in one go. I can only say that it was a fluke."
"Hey~ Don't be too modest. Judging from your age, you are probably a little younger than that Cao family witch, but you can successfully refine a seventh-grade elixir. If this is not a genius, then what is a genius?" Ye Zhen said, and then there was a little doubt in his eyes, "By the way, since Xiao Yan has such ability, why did you make that deal with me?"
Hearing Ye Zhen's question, Xiao Yan touched his hair embarrassedly.
"I am really ashamed. Before I came here, I didn't know that I needed a recommendation qualification to participate in the Alchemy Conference. I couldn't even register. Moreover, the Alchemy Conference is about to start. I am unfamiliar with this place and I can't find someone who can help issue a recommendation qualification for a while."
"I see."
Ye Zhen nodded in understanding. This situation has not been uncommon in previous years, so it is not so rare.
Just as Ye Zhen was about to ask again, a beautiful girl walked in from the living room door, staring at Ye Zhen on the main seat with an unhappy look on her face.
"Father! I'm still researching a new prescription, why did you call me here?"
"The prescription can be studied at any time, I called you here to meet my distinguished guest of the Ye family." Ye Zhen said this, and then looked at Xiao Yan to introduce him, "Brother Xiao Yan, this is my daughter Ye Xinlan, who just passed the sixth-grade alchemist exam some time ago."
After speaking, Ye Zhen looked at Ye Xinlan.
"Xinlan, this is Xiao Yan, your father just met you by chance on the street."
"Leader Xiao Yan?!"
Before Ye Zhen finished his introduction, Ye Xinlan's surprised voice interrupted him, making him stunned there, and then he saw Ye Xinlan rushing to Xiao Yan with shining eyes, grabbing his hands excitedly.
"Captain Xiao Yan! It's not the first time we meet, but you probably didn't know me before." Ye Xinlan looked at Xiao Yan and introduced herself to him. "I used to be a student at Canaan College. Later, I joined Tianyi Hall as a logistics staff. I have been working under the master of the hall. I just came back some time ago!"
(This girl is really this small world. This girl helped Evil Prison refine a lot of pills before. Later, I asked Senior Sister Han Feng to teach her how to refine pills.)
Xiao Yixian sighed in Xiao Yan's heart. Xiao Yan understood and smiled at Ye Xinlan who was full of admiration. He spoke softly.
"I also heard Xiao Yixian mention you. Thank you for your help to Evil Prison before."
"Hey~ What are you talking about? It's because I joined Tianyi Hall that I have the opportunity to communicate deeply with Teacher Han Feng. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so easy to pass the sixth-grade alchemist exam. I should be the one thanking you!"
Ye Zhen was stunned by the scene in front of him. After a long time, he asked his daughter in astonishment.
"Xinlan, do you know Xiao Yan?"
And that Xiao Yan leader, what is that name?
Unexpectedly, Ye Xinlan heard her father's question, stood up and excitedly said to Ye Zhen.
"Of course I know him! Leader Xiao Yan led the unification of the entire Black Horn Region, and everyone in the Black Horn Region gave him a respectful title!"
"The name is [Evil Leader]!" (End of this chapter)
