Bab 147: Chapter 147: The conference begins, flame competition!
Who on earth could make the royal princess take the initiative to greet them?
But soon, everyone understood the reason.
They saw a young man dressed in Alchemist robes, with four shiny stars on his chest badge, causing a stir throughout the audience!
"Fourth Grade Alchemist?!"
"I'm seeing things right? This person looks younger than Liu Ling, about the same age as the princess."
"It is said that a few days ago, a young man passed the Fourth Grade Alchemist qualification assessment at the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild in the Imperial Capital."
"Is it true? Could there be a mistake in this?"
"Stop dreaming. The one who conducted the certification assessment is President Fa Ma. Do you think anyone can deceive President Fa Ma?"
The crowd quickly dispelled their doubts. After all, the chances of deceiving a Fifth Grade peak Alchemist were even more absurd than a Dou Grandmaster defeating a Dou King!
"Of course, I remember. Back then, under Misty Cloud Mountain, Princess Yao Yu was a distinguished guest."
Eight years ago, Yun Tianming was just an ordinary outer disciple of Misty Cloud Sect. That day, he was on duty at the foot of the mountain, responsible for receiving external guests. He had a brief encounter with Yao Yu. It's just that he didn't expect the other party to remember him.
"Under Misty Cloud Mountain. Is he from Misty Cloud Sect?"
"Could it be that this person is Pill King Gu He's disciple?"
The crowd was shocked, then they all turned their gaze to Liu Ling in the crowd.
"."
Liu Ling's face sank.
Although he had never met Yun Tianming, he had heard some things about him from his teacher, Gu He.
"Hehe~ This princess knew she didn't misjudge!"
"You're indeed remarkable! In just eight years, you've become a Fourth Grade Alchemist. By the way, what's your current Dou Qi level? Why can't I see it at all?"
Yao Yu propped up her chin with one hand, concentrating to release Soul Power, but still couldn't see through Yun Tianming's strength.
"Princess Yao Yu's Soul Power is strong, so now you probably have the level of a Fourth Grade Alchemist, right?"
Yun Tianming said with a grin.
"Eh eh eh!"
"No peeking into a young girl's privacy!"
Yao Yu pouted. It was annoying that she couldn't see through the other's strength, but instead, he could see through her secrets at a glance.
"As expected! Princess Yao Yu has also reached the level of a Fourth Grade Alchemist!"
The attention of the crowd quickly shifted to Yao Yu.
"Hmph! Fourth Grade Alchemist? I won't be inferior to you guys!"
Liu Ling couldn't help but snort coldly. Although he hadn't taken the guild assessment yet, he could already refine Fourth Grade Pills. It's just that the success rate wasn't high enough, and the quality of the pills was a bit lacking. Gu He told him to practice more and only go for the guild assessment when he was fully confident.
"Is Senior Liu Ling also a Fourth Grade Alchemist? Amazing!"
"No wonder he's Pill King Gu He's disciple!"
"Now the Alchemist conference will be even more interesting!"
Part of the crowd's attention shifted to Liu Ling again.
"."
Xiao Yan, who was unnoticed in the crowd, clenched his fist, looking at the three people being admired by everyone. A hint of envy involuntarily appeared on his face.
At this moment, a voice of confusion came from Old Yao's mind.
"Weird, this shouldn't be."
"That Yun Tianming, although his Soul Power is formidable, his Dou Qi attribute should be wood attribute. To become an Alchemist, you need fire attribute along with a hint of wood energy. Logically, he shouldn't be able to become an Alchemist!"
Xiao Yan's expression froze, then he asked softly, "Teacher, can you detect his true strength?"
Three years ago, during the canceled marriage incident, Xun'er had a brief confrontation with Yun Tianming, and Xun'er voluntarily surrendered.
On ordinary days, Xun'er occasionally mentioned this matter, seeming to have a slight interest in Yun Tianming. (Out of acknowledgment for the opponent.)
This made Xiao Yan feel extremely uncomfortable!
You should know that after so many years, this was the first time he had seen Xun'er show interest in another man.
"No!"
"His Soul Power is too terrifying. Once I make a move, he will immediately detect it."
"It's better not to do things that startle the snake in the grass."
Yao Chen's tone sounded particularly solemn, even with a hint of fear.
After all, he had been hunted by the Hall of Souls for so many years. He naturally harbored a natural vigilance towards people with such strong Soul Power!
"I see."
A trace of regret flashed across Xiao Yan's face. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and the enemy leads to a hundred victories.
When he goes to Misty Cloud Sect for the Three-Year Agreement, apart from defeating Nalan Yanran, he actually wanted to challenge Yun Tianming!
Back then, Xun'er lost to Yun Tianming, which left Xiao Yan feeling resentful.
If he could defeat Yun Tianming this time, would Xun'er wholeheartedly focus on me alone?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan smirked.
Just wait, Xun'er!
I will definitely prove myself!
---
The number of people participating in the Alchemist conference reached as many as a thousand.
Most of them are Second Grade or even First Grade Low Level Alchemists, participating merely to gain some recognition.
Therefore, the guild will conduct the first round of preliminary matches, refining medicinal herbs.
"As everyone knows, refining medicinal herbs is a crucial step in pill making. And this test we're conducting is to assess your ability in refining medicinal herbs."
"On each table in the small rooms, the medicinal herbs for testing are already prepared. What you need to do is to refine the herbs to the maximum purity you can achieve in the shortest time possible."
Vice President Qie Mi'er placed an oversized hourglass on the platform and continued, "If you haven't completed the refining before the hourglass runs out, it will be considered a failure. Even if you succeed, we, the judges, will evaluate the medicinal herbs. If they don't meet our standards, it will still be considered a failure, and the consequence of failure is disqualification from the competition."
The preliminary round of the competition is to eliminate some Alchemist who are just pretending to be good, there's nothing much to say about that.
"Refining medicinal herbs, it's a competition of flames and fire control techniques!"
"Watch me show off my skills!"
A passerby Alchemist summoned a ball of pink flame from his hand, with a temperature much higher than ordinary fire attribute Dou Qi.
"Fifth Rank Magic Beast: Beast Flame of Pink Flame Butterfly, not bad."
Judge Master Qie Mi'er gave a fair assessment.
"Child's play."
Liu Ling, with a confident expression, released a ball of green Beast Flame, clearly hotter than the previous passerby's.
"Sixth Rank Magic Beast: Beast Flame of Green Flame Tiger? Indeed worthy of being Master Gu He's disciple."
Master Qie Mi'er's eyes lit up with praise.
"Huh? Blue Flame?"
"Sixth Rank Magic Beast: Beast Flame of Shock Wave Dragon Beast? The royal family really is generous."
Princess Yao Yu's rising azure Blue Flame attracted the attention of everyone on the field.
"Hehe!"
"When it comes to flame competition, mine is stronger!"
Xiao Yan showed a confident smile, waved his hand, and a ball of crimson flame surged up, emitting an extremely hot wind that instantly surpassed all the flames on the field!
