Chapter 204 Uninvited Guests
The three of them looked at each other, with an inexplicable light flashing in their eyes.
They infiltrated the Gama Empire this time not just to watch the battle, but with the trust and expectations of their respective countries.
Because Xiao Ling, the alchemy genius, joined the Alchemist Guild, the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire became famous. Many young alchemists from neighboring countries chose to join the Gama Empire. The three of them came this time. , was ordered by his superiors to suppress the prestige of the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire.
The leader is named Yanli, who comes from the Izumo Empire, is the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, and is a veteran fourth-grade alchemist.
His eyes swept over the two companions beside him, the representative of the Alchemist Guild of the Luoyan Empire, a thin old man with sharp eyes named Feng Xing; the representative of the Mulan Empire, a middle-aged man with a burly body and a rough face. , named Tieshan.
Yanli's eyes swept over the faces of Feng Xing and Tieshan, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His voice was low and cold: "Remember, we are not here to make friends, we are here to subvert Gama." From the Imperial Alchemist Guild. Before you go on stage, you two remember to take the 'Rejuvenation Pill', so that the self-proclaimed Alchemists of the Gama Empire will not see our true identity."
Feng Xing and Tieshan looked at each other, with an imperceptible smile on their faces. They had already discussed it in advance and understood Yanli's plan.
Feng Xing nodded slightly and replied: "Don't worry, Vice President Yanli, we naturally understand the importance of this trip. We are fully prepared for the 'Fu Rong Dan' and will never let it slip at the critical moment."
Tieshan also echoed in a deep voice, with a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes: "The alchemists of the Jiama Empire are too confident. They would not have thought that the alchemists guilds of our three empires have joined forces. This time we must hit Jiama hard. The reputation of the Imperial Alchemist Guild."
After Yanli, Fengxing and Tieshan finished their exchange, they couldn't help but imagine the scene of the moment of success.
They imagined that the reputation of the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire would plummet, while their names and the guild they belonged to would rise in fame, and their status would rise in the future.
Thinking of this, the three of them laughed involuntarily, and the smiles were full of pride and cunning.
However, their laughter did not escape the ears of the participating alchemists around them.
Most of these alchemists were from the Gama Empire or other prestigious alchemists. They couldn't help but feel a bit of contempt in their hearts when they saw these three concealed and even inconspicuous people giggling here.
An alchemist who seemed to be quite distinguished, whispered to his companions in a disdainful tone: "Look at those three people, they really disgrace our alchemists. We, the distinguished alchemists, It’s such a shame to be associated with such people.”
His words resonated with some of the alchemists around him. They all cast contemptuous glances, and some even started talking in low voices, pointing fingers at Yanli and the other three.
Feeling the gazes and comments around them, the three of them didn't say anything. They just adjusted their attire silently to ensure that the effect of the 'Rejuvenation Pill' would not be discovered. Then they blended into the crowd and entered the competition square. Quietly waiting for the game to start.
…
After the first round of competition started, the atmosphere in the VIP seats was particularly lively.
"Haha, with Master Xiao Ling's unique vision, in your opinion, who among these participating alchemists has the strength to compete for the final championship?" Jia Xingtian's voice was full of curiosity, and came from Xiao Ling's ear. Ringed softly.
Xiao Ling tilted his head slightly, his eyes falling on Jiaxingtian's face with a calm smile. Although the old man tried his best to hide it, the uncontrollable look of pride in his eyes still revealed his inner joy.
After all, the little royal princess Yaoyue has long been known to everyone in the Jiama Empire for her reputation as a genius in refining medicine. Although she cannot be compared with a legendary figure like Xiao Ling, Yaoyue's talent in the field of medicine refining is second to none in the empire.
Xiao Yan also had extraordinary talent in refining medicine, and his progress was astonishing. He became a first-class alchemist at the age of only fifteen.
However, since he followed Xiao Ling to Canaan College for further studies, the outside world's understanding of his ability in refining medicine has become unclear.
Time flies, and three years pass by in a blink of an eye. Xiao Yan's achievements in medicine refining skills are no longer easily guessed by the outside world.
It is generally speculated that Xiao Yan's current level is around the level of a third-grade alchemist, on par with the royal princess Yaoyue, and he has the potential to compete for the championship in this alchemist competition. However, the truth can only be revealed during the game.
Xiao Ling responded in a relaxed tone: "Princess Yaoyue's talent is indeed extraordinary. She has become a third-grade alchemist at a young age, which is admirable. But as a member of the Xiao family, I am naturally more optimistic about my cousin Xiao Yan. His strength , will definitely be an eye-opener for everyone present.”
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, several other alchemists and high-ranking officials at the VIP table also cast curious glances.
Fa Ma, who was originally calm and composed, couldn't help but ask: "Master Xiao Ling, I wonder what level your cousin's alchemy skills have reached now? Can you tell us something?"
Xiao Ling smiled slightly, and when faced with Fa Ma's question, he just responded lightly: "I won't reveal Xiao Yan's level of alchemy skills in advance. When the competition starts, it will naturally be revealed to everyone."
After hearing this, Fa Ma did not get a clear answer, but wisely did not continue to ask, instead he smiled and said: "If Xiao Yan is willing, he is welcome to come to our Alchemist Union to exchange ideas. The door of our union is always open to capable alchemists."
Xiao Ling nodded gently and replied politely: "As for the invitation of the Alchemist Union, I think Xiao Yan will make a choice according to his own wishes. I personally cannot make a decision on his behalf, so let him discuss these things himself."
At the other end of the VIP seat, Nalan Jie listened silently to the conversations around him. After Xiao Ling's words fell, Nalan Jie's heart was stirred. He began to ponder, what level has Xiao Yan's alchemy reached now?
Since Xiao Yan's body recovered and he was able to practice, in just three years, he has shown amazing talent for practice. Now, his cultivation has even surpassed Nalan Jie's granddaughter Nalan Yanran, which makes Nalan Jie regretful and worried.
If Xiao Yan is also gifted in alchemy, then wouldn't Nalan Jie have missed a son-in-law with unlimited potential, and might even accidentally make enemies with a powerful figure in the future?
Thinking of this, Nalan Jie's face couldn't help but sink, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze. The traces of time seemed more profound at this moment, as if he had added a bit of vicissitudes to his worries.
"Alas, Yanran, you are confused..."
