Chapter 213 Winning the Championship

In previous Alchemist Conferences, if a high-quality elixir like the "Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill" could be refined, the hope of winning would be extremely strong.

However, this time, Yanli's achievements were destined to be overshadowed by Xiao Yan's outstanding performance. Xiao Yan's skills were obviously superior, and Yanli could only succumb to him.

Fa Ma, Hai Bodong, and other distinguished guests at the VIP table couldn't help but stand up. They were deeply shocked by the elixir refined by Xiao Yan.

Fa Ma's eyes were fixed on the pill floating in front of Xiao Yan, and he said excitedly: "This energy wave, this fragrance, this 'Tough Vein Psychic Pill' refined by Xiao Yan has already It has surpassed the limit of the fourth grade and reached the level of the fifth grade elixir!"

Hai Bodong on the side also praised: "Not only the energy fluctuations are strong, but the color and aroma of this elixir also show its extraordinary quality. This young man Xiao Yan is really impressive."

Jia Xingtian smiled slightly and said: "To be able to refine a fifth-grade elixir at such a young age, Xiao Yan's talent is even greater than that of Furukawa in the past. His future is undoubtedly There is a wireless possibility. "

Xiao Ling, who originally had a somewhat relaxed attitude, also showed surprise at this moment. Although he had absolute confidence in Xiao Yan refining the "Tough Vein Psychic Pill", he did not expect Xiao Yan to be able to refine it to the fifth level in one fell swoop.

But this is also because Xiao Ling didn't pay much attention to the competition before. Otherwise, as long as Xiao Ling casually investigates, he can know the approximate grade of the elixir refined by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Ling gently stroked his chin, a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes, and whispered to himself: "Xiao Yan, this kid, can always create miracles inadvertently."

At this moment, Yao Chen's voice, which was full of years of precipitation, rang out, penetrating the surrounding noise and reaching the ears of Xiao Ling and others: "This boy named Xiao Yan does have extraordinary talents. I once gave him a gift It seems that the opportunities given to him were not in vain. With his talent in medicine refining, it is not impossible for him to become a master in the future. "

Qing Lin and the Little Medical Fairy looked at each other and nodded, deeply agreeing with Yao Chen's evaluation. They knew in their hearts that Xiao Yan's talent in alchemy was extraordinary, indeed the most outstanding one they had ever seen besides Xiao Ling.

However, following Xiao Ling, a monster in the art of alchemy, they have long been accustomed to all kinds of extraordinary actions. Therefore, although they admire Xiao Yan's outstanding performance today, they are no longer overly surprised.

Their mentality is like that of sailors who have experienced storms and have been able to deal with the waves of the sea calmly. Although Xiao Yan's achievements are dazzling, they have not caused any waves in their hearts.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Xiao Ling said with a hint of relaxation and playfulness in his tone: "Since Yao Lao thinks so highly of him, why not take my cousin and I to Xingyun Pavilion when we go to Zhongzhou?" ?"

Xiao Ling knew in her heart that she had no intention of being a nanny for Xiao Yan.

But considering that Xiao Yan is not only his cousin, but also the respect he shows for him, as well as his blood connection with the same clan, he naturally will not ignore Xiao Yan.

Even though aiding Xiao Yan might not bring him any benefit, since it was a small effort, Xiao Ling was willing to lend a helping hand.

Xiao Ling knew what was important to him or those close to him, so he would not give it to Xiao Yan in vain. However, Xiao Ling was quite happy to lend a helping hand to those items that were of little use to him, or to help him within his ability.

Xiao Ling's proposal aroused the interest of Gu Yanjie's traditional Chinese medicine dust. Yaochen stroked his chin, immersed in a moment of thought. Then, he slowly spoke,

"This suggestion is a good idea. As a member of your race, Xiao Yan can take care of him. If he can be properly trained and brought to Zhongzhou to broaden his horizons, it will be of great benefit to his growth. And with his talent , he can still stand out even in Xingyun Pavilion."

Xiao Ling nodded in agreement and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, when we are ready to go to Zhongzhou, we will ask Xiao Yan if he is interested in joining. If he is willing to go, we will take him with us; if not, then there is no force. ”

Yao Chen's voice sounded in the Bone Flame Ring again, with a hint of amusement and deep meaning: "Based on my observation of Xiao Yan and his temperament, he will definitely go to Zhongzhou to make a living if he has such an opportunity. Even if you don't invite him, When he grows up to a certain level, he will also go to Zhongzhou. If you invite him, he will definitely go there happily. "

Xiao Ling nodded noncommittally, and he thought so in his heart. He had already seen Xiao Yan's unwillingness to admit defeat and his desire to become a strong man.

Zhongzhou, as the center of the continent, is filled with powerful people and countless opportunities. It is undoubtedly a huge magnet for young people full of fighting spirit like Xiao Yan.

…

On the high platform, Fa Ma narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he usually maintained a calm attitude, at this moment, even the narrow slits of his eyes could not hide the overflowing smile.

He laughed heartily a few times, and turned his gaze to the center of the square again, scanning Yanli, who was sitting on the ground with a pale face, and the two men in black robes beside him who looked a little at a loss.

Fa Ma had a joking smile and a hint of ridicule in his voice: "Although everyone here may not be familiar with the 'Tough Vein Psychic Pill' refined by Xiao Yan, the fifth-grade elixir and the fourth-grade peak I believe I don’t need to elaborate on the value of elixirs.”

As his words fell, Fa Ma's voice gradually became solemn and clear: "Then, I have the honor to announce that the champion of this Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Conference is Xiao Yan from the Xiao family!"

His voice echoed over the square, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

As Fa Ma announced, the whole square instantly burst into thunderous applause. The audience cheered for this wonderful alchemy competition and Xiao Yan's outstanding performance. This applause is not only a praise for the winner, but also a respect for the exquisite skills of alchemy.

Xiao Yan stood in the center of the square, surrounded by applause and praise like a tide.

An unprecedented sense of accomplishment surged in his heart, not only because he won the competition, but also because his skills and efforts were recognized.

He knew that this was just a beginning, a starting point for moving towards a higher goal.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and calmed his excitement. He thought to himself: "Today's victory is an affirmation of me and an encouragement to me. I can't be complacent because of this. There is still a long way to go in the future. I must continue to work hard, constantly surpass myself, and climb to a higher peak in alchemy."

At this time, Yaoyue squeezed through the crowd and came to Xiao Yan with brisk steps. Her eyes flashed with sincere joy and admiration: "Xiao Yan, congratulations on your victory. This is indeed the honor you deserve. However, you hid it so well that you were able to refine a fifth-grade elixir. It's really not good enough."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. The relationship between him and Yaoyue made his answer more relaxed and friendly: "Haha, Yaoyue, I didn't expect to perform so well before. This time it was just luck."

Liu Ling's eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Xiao Yan's confident smile. He couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart.

Before the alchemy conference began, he claimed to be a genius, but he didn't expect to be surpassed by a younger alchemist than himself. He knew that Xiao Yan's victory was not a fluke, but a manifestation of strength and talent.

Gently, Liu Ling sighed, and that sigh was like her mood at the moment, with a hint of helplessness and loneliness. He silently sorted out his medicine cauldron and medicinal materials, and his movements were slower than usual, as if he was bidding a final farewell to the defeat in this competition.

The crowd around was cheering for Xiao Yan's victory, and no one noticed Liu Ling's departure.

He quietly withdrew from the crowd, and his steps seemed a little heavy. The noise on the competition square gradually faded away, but Liu Ling's heart was silent.

On the other side, Yan Li's face was as gloomy as iron. He was as clear as a mirror in his heart. His fourth-grade "Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill" was undoubtedly eclipsed by the "Tough Vein Spiritual Pill" refined by Xiao Yan. In this contest, he was completely defeated and had nothing to say.

Gritting his teeth, Yan Li waved his hand and put the medicine cauldron into the ring. Under the gazes of many people, he and the two black-robed men beside him turned around quickly and walked out of the venue in a hurry.

He could feel the cold gazes from Fa Ma and others on the high platform. The coldness in their eyes made him understand that if he did not take this opportunity to leave here quickly, once Fa Ma and others were free, he would definitely fall into an unfavorable situation.

On the high platform, Fa Ma put his hands behind his back, staring coldly at Yan Li's hurriedly leaving back, with a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "It's a bit late to think of leaving now."

Hai Bodong chuckled and continued, with a bit of teasing in his tone: "Do you need us to follow?"

Fa Ma shook his head slightly and responded calmly: "No need to do that. I have already secretly left a soul mark on his 'Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill', and he can't escape from our palm."

Jia Lao smiled with a smile on his eyebrows, revealing a bit of gloating in his tone: "The Izumo Empire Alchemy Guild is This time, I will feel bad. It costs a lot to train a fourth-grade alchemy master. "

Fa Ma smiled lightly, as if everything was under control: "Since you are here, you should have such awareness."

At this time, Xiao Ling smiled softly and suddenly interrupted, with a relaxed tone but with unquestionable determination: "Everyone, let me deal with those three people." He made up a reason casually and continued, "I have long disliked them, and I just took this opportunity to solve them myself."

Xiao Ling's sudden intervention made Hai Bodong and Fa Ma cast curious eyes, and the other people around him also showed surprise. No one expected that Xiao Ling would take the initiative to volunteer to participate in dealing with this thorny matter.

Fa Ma and others actually had doubts about Xiao Ling's dissatisfaction with the three people. With Xiao Ling's identity and cultivation, he usually would not waste his attention on such trivial matters.

Although Xiao Ling's true intentions were not clear, since he was willing to take action, Fa Ma and others naturally had no reason to refuse. Fa Ma nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "Since Master Xiao Ling has such a refined taste, then please go ahead. We will naturally not stop you."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and responded, "Then I will not be polite. I will handle this matter cleanly and neatly."

The reason why Xiao Ling personally went out to deal with Yan Li and his two companions was to consider replenishing the soul body for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Since the last time he refined the Earth Demon Puppet for Han Yue, his Ten Thousand Souls Banner has been empty, without even a soul body in it.

Although the soul power of these three fourth-grade alchemists is not strong, Xiao Ling has another plan.

He planned to let these souls devour each other in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. In this way, their power would be condensed and enhanced, and eventually converged into a power comparable to that of an ordinary Douhuang soul.

Later, Xiao Ling only needed to collect some souls at random, and by letting them devour each other in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he could hope to condense a sufficiently strong soul force. This strategy met the conditions he needed to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

After all, in his plan, there was a Douzun-level corpse quietly waiting for his arrival in the Magic Beast Mountain Range of the Luoyan Empire. The potential of this corpse, combined with the powerful soul force, would enable him to refine a more powerful puppet.

Then, Xiao Ling turned around and faced Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian, and said with a relaxed look: "I'll go ahead and take care of some things. If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk by yourself, or go back to the Xiao family to rest."

Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin naturally heard what Xiao Ling said before, and knew that Xiao Ling was going to deal with the three fourth-grade alchemists. With Xiao Ling's strength, they were not worried about encountering any danger.

Xiao Yixian nodded gently and responded gently: "Okay, go and do your thing. We will make our own arrangements."

Qinglin also echoed: "Don't worry, Master, we will take care of ourselves. You should be careful."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly: "Then I will go. Don't worry about me."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Ling's figure disappeared from the VIP seats like a breeze, leaving only a vague afterimage slowly dissipating in everyone's sight.

Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, who witnessed Xiao Ling's departure, looked at each other, and both of them showed understanding in their eyes. The two talked softly for a few words, and finally decided not to stay in the lively competition venue any longer.

Xiao Yixian's lips curled up a faint smile, and she nodded gracefully to the people around her to say goodbye. Qinglin followed closely behind, and the two walked through the crowd together, walking calmly towards the exclusive passage of the VIP seats.

Following the backs of Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, Jia Xingtian commented softly: "The two girls around Xiao Ling should not be underestimated."

Fa Ma nodded in agreement, with a hint of amazement in his tone: "Indeed, they have such strength at such a young age, and their talent is indeed amazing. It seems that only a genius like Xiao Ling can attract people like them to follow."
