Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Stress

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. If this Cao Ying is really what Ye Zhong said, then he will really be a strong enemy... "Cao Ying..." He murmured to himself, and Xiao Yan's dark eyes were full of fire. Ever since he practiced alchemy, he had never met anyone who was too tyrannical among his peers, even when he participated in the Jia Ma Empire. The only thing that caused him some trouble at the alchemist conference was the vice president of the alchemist guild from other empires who came in disguise. As for those of the same age, even Liu Ling did not pose any threat to Xiao Yan. This time, Cao Ying can really be counted as one...

From what Ye Zhong said, Xiao Yan could know that this Cao Ying must also be a person who is talented in alchemy and close to demons. Compared with him, he is probably better than him. never had. "Sure enough, the pressure is not small. It is indeed the most valuable conference in the alchemy world..." Sighing softly in his heart, Xiao Yan felt more and more how powerful this pill would be. Now she is only a witch from the Cao family, which made him quite troublesome. Who knows if there are such perverted ones in other places? exist? With such a vast continent, Xiao Yan wouldn't feel too surprised that there are a few monstrous young people.

"Back then, the teacher was able to win the championship of the alchemy competition. Now, it seems that he really has a few brushes. Otherwise, how can he be able to beat the crowd?" Xiao Yan suddenly smiled in his heart. He remembered that Yao Lao seemed to be once The champion of the Pill Club, but I don't know why Yao Lao didn't use this name to enter the Pill Tower, otherwise, with such qualifications, coupled with the strength of his old family, maybe he can really become one of the giants of the Pill Tower, In that case, there is no need to be afraid of the Soul Palace anymore.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about in my heart now. With Yao Lao's leisurely temperament, he probably doesn't like this kind of life in a high position... "Hehe, but Mr. Xiao Yan doesn't need to worry too much. Although Cao Ying is not weak, it is still unknown who will win the battle. As long as she has not reached the eighth-rank level, otherwise, there is no guarantee of victory." , Refining elixir, occasionally paying attention to state and luck, the failure rate, everyone will encounter it..." Seeing Xiao Yan fell silent, Ye Zhong thought he was worried, and immediately laughed.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. The eighth-rank and seventh-rank are completely different levels of concepts. The pharmacists Xiao Yan met in these years who were able to refine eight-rank pills seemed to be Yao Lao who had this ability... Xiao Yan had seen some seventh-rank pharmacists after he came to Zhongzhou, but he had never met eight-rank pharmacists. Presumably, even some Dou Zun-level pharmacists of this level, They all have to be treated politely, just like the status that Yao Lao had in Zhongzhou back then. The reason why eighth-rank pharmacists are so rare also shows how difficult it is to advance to this level. Seventh-rank pharmacists may be able to flourish in Zhongzhou, but if they really want to get that kind of Lian Dou Zun Those who are strong are willing to be your thugs, so they must at least reach the eighth rank...

With a slight restraint in his heart, Xiao Yan also smiled, and said: "Don't worry, I am also determined to win this pill meeting. No matter how strong the opponent is, I have to go all out..." Hearing this, Ye Zhong nodded with a smile, and said, "Mr. Xiao Yan, there is less than a month left before the assessment of the five major families begins, and we have to arrive at the Holy Pill City a little earlier, so I'm afraid we'll have to leave for another twenty days or so." Such a hasty arrangement made Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and he could only nod his head immediately. Now that he is pressing hard, there is no room for too much waste, but fortunately, his alchemy training is getting better, although it is still not enough. He failed to refine the seventh-grade high-level pill, but the success rate of the low-level and intermediate-level pills has increased a lot. According to this speed, Xiao Yan must be able to successfully refine the seventh-grade high-level pill sooner or later. out.

"If you are going to leave, just let me know. I will rest for a day, and I will retreat for a while..." Hearing that Xiao Yan was going to carry out that self-abuse-like penance, even Ye Zhong couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat. Alchemy is an extremely tiring and exhausting task. According to common sense, even a seventh-rank pharmacist, It is also impossible to continue alchemy for a whole day, after all, the consumption is too great. According to common sense, this is indeed the case, but Xiao Yan is not only born with a strong soul, but also has the help of different fires, which can save a lot of energy when refining alchemy, so other seventh-rank alchemists can only refine it three times a day at most. As for the pill, then he can refine it six times, ten times, or even more!

That is to say, one day in his hard training is enough to be the achievement of others for several days. Of course, such crazy hard work is also extremely hard work, but in these years, Xiao Yan has suffered a lot. Suffering is not enough, he has nothing else, but his character has become more and more tenacious during these years of tempering... Xiao Yan's achievement today is definitely not due to a handful! After wiping off a cold sweat, Ye Zhong felt a little admired, and said in a deep voice: "Well, Mr. Xiao Yan, you can practice with peace of mind. If the medicinal materials are not enough, you can inform the old man, even if you use up all the collections in my Ye family. , and will definitely support Mr. Xiao Yan to complete his cultivation!"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and after talking with Ye Zhong again about matters related to the Pill Club, he and Xiao Yixian and others went back to their respective rooms... On the second day after solving these troubles of the Cao family, Xiao Yan entered the alchemy room again, and then announced to retreat and practice painstakingly. Then, a steady stream of rare medicinal materials were moved out of the Ye family's warehouse, and all of them were counted. Pile them into the alchemy room... And because of Xiao Yan's appearance, the Ye family also temporarily lost the obstruction from the Cao family. In addition, during this period of time, the little doctor and the Venerable Tianhuo occasionally showed up, which also made some Kais who coveted the Ye family's power greatly shocked. Convergence, two Dou Zun strongmen, this lineup is not something that ordinary forces can contend with.

Without the troubles from the outside world, the Ye family has become much quieter, and time is also in this tranquility, passing quietly like sand between fingers... Perhaps due to the approaching of the Danhui, the entire Danyu has gradually become extremely lively. Almost every place in the Danyu has a larger flow of people than before, and some careful people can find that there are countless accents. Alchemists, who are slightly different from here, also began to appear in the Dan domain one after another. Obviously, these people came for the Danhui... The Danhui is not only a major event in the alchemy world, but also a grand event in Zhongzhou. Whenever the Danhui starts, the Danyu will become the focus of the entire Zhongzhou and even the mainland. Countless people or forces will be like this. Like hungry wolves smelling the smell of meat, they swarmed over...

A pharmacist is the most honorable profession in the entire Dou Qi Continent. For the ability and energy of a pharmacist, other people are envious of it. Perhaps compared to combat power, some pharmacists may not be strong, but he can take out a The small elixir made other strong men act for him, taking people's lives... Therefore, everyone on the mainland knows that pharmacists, especially some high-level pharmacists, should try not to provoke them, because these people are like a hornet's nest, and they will cause countless troubles... A high-level alchemist is also the most coveted by some forces. In order to be able to draw them into their subordinates, many forces will offer all kinds of attractive conditions, and there are even some who want to compete for a high-level alchemist. The fight that caused the blood to flow like a river... The nobility of the alchemist also makes the alchemy meeting extraordinarily important. Everyone knows that this kind of conference gathers outstanding alchemists from the entire continent, and those who can stand out here must have extremely strong abilities. The recruitment of these pharmacists will undoubtedly immediately cause a rapid expansion of its strength for a force... All of these factors are also factors that caused the sudden surge in the number of people in the Pill Territory, and as time goes by, this vast and endless Dan Territory will probably be filled with more and more attracted people... And when the flow of people in Danyu began to skyrocket, the time for the assessment of the five major families was also getting closer... In the depths of the Ye family, outside of an alchemy room, all members of the Ye family stood here respectfully, and at the leader were Ye Zhong, Xin Lan, and several elders of the Ye family. Today is the last day before leaving for the Holy Pill City, and it is also the time for Xiao Yan to leave the closed door... In the past twenty days, Xiao Yan has never stepped out of the alchemy room. Even some members of the Ye family who went in to deliver medicinal materials would not dare to stay too long in the scorching environment of the alchemy room. After putting down the medicinal materials lightly, he hurriedly withdrew quietly. During the past twenty days, there were often dark clouds gathering in the sky above the Ye family's backyard, and there were even several times when thunder condensed in it, but Just when it was about to land, it suddenly dissipated... This celestial change naturally attracted the attention of Ye Zhong and the others, and they were all a little shocked at the moment. They clearly felt that when the alchemy thunder was about to fall a few times, there were rumors coming from the closed alchemy room. Extremely surging energy fluctuations, this level of energy fluctuations are very similar to the situation that occurs when some seventh-grade high-grade pills are formed... Although they didn't know why the surge of energy would suddenly disappear at critical moments, they understood that this should be Xiao Yan's deliberate action... However, no matter what Xiao Yan's purpose was, they vaguely understood that during this period of hard work, it seemed that Xiao Yan's medicine refining skills were of great help... "Crack..." While Ye Zhong and the others were secretly turning in their hearts, the tightly closed stone door was slowly opened, and a burst of hot and high temperature suddenly diffused from it... As the high temperature diffused, a thin figure walked out slowly, and after a while, it appeared in everyone's sight. The skinny figure's clothes were a bit messy, his black hair was scattered behind his head, and there was a little bit of sparse stubble on his face. The whole appearance looked quite messy, but those pair of jet-black eyes were unusually bright. Looking at Xiao Yan who came out of the alchemy room, for some reason, Ye Zhong and the others faintly felt that he was slightly different from before...
