Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Benefits of Champions

Staring lazily at this piece of black broken jade, Xiao Yan casually held it in his hand. The jade piece was not smooth, but covered with tiny particles. It seemed that the material was not very good. On the sheet, there are still some faint cracks.Between the gaps, there is actually sand. Playing with the jade piece, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Based on his intuition, he seemed to feel that this thing was a little strange, but he couldn't tell where it was so strange. He searched around with his soul power, but there was no movement. No message received. "Did it feel wrong?" He murmured doubtfully in his heart, Xiao Yan slowly slid his fingers across the jade piece, trying to put it down, but his palm couldn't let it go, and after a long while, he shook his head helplessly , raised his head and glanced at the man who was staring at him eagerly, and randomly picked a few medicinal materials that were barely passable on the stone platform with his palm, then raised his hand at the man, and said with a smile: "Do you want to exchange items, or Want to sell?"

"Master, I would like to change to a third-grade elixir." Hearing this, the man lifted his spirits, and immediately smiled shyly. He also knew in his heart that these medicinal materials did not seem to be worth the price of a third-grade elixir. Glancing at him indifferently, Xiao Yan put the things in his hands into the ring, and then took out a bottle of only three pills of returning qi, threw it at the man, and said: "This is the third-grade pill of returning qi. Pills can quickly recover consumed battle qi, because they are relatively common consumable pills, so let me give you three."

He took the bottle in a hurry, the joy on the man's face could not be concealed, the value of the three qi recovery pills would not be less than 40,000 gold coins, so he still made a lot of money, and immediately turned to Xiao Xiao Yan's back that turned lazily bent over to salute. Leaving this stage, Xiao Yan took advantage of the opportunity to go out of the Eastern District, stroking the ring with his fingers, the broken black piece of jade reappeared in his palm, frowning slightly, he was playing with it in his hand, and after a while, it was still Without any clue, Xiao Yan could only sigh dejectedly, and put it away.

Standing in the middle of the hall, Xiao Yan looked around blankly, pondered for a while, then pulled a delicate woman who seemed to be a maid, and asked in a low voice where the president of the Black Rock City branch was.Although being pulled back suddenly, the maid who seemed to be in a hurry was a little angry, but when she saw the second-rank badge on Xiao Yan's chest, a little awe was revealed on her pretty face.Pointing to the west area with the least traffic, he said softly: "That is the area where the presidents of the branches of the Jiajia Empire are located, but only alchemists of the third rank or above are eligible to enter."

"Hehe, thank you very much." After thanking Xiao Yan, he walked towards the quiet west area, and before he was about to enter, he was stopped by two guards at the door without accident. "Please tell me about Master Frank or Otto of Black Rock City, and say that Xiao Yan is here to see you." Looking at the two guards with indifferent faces, Xiao Yan laughed. Glanced at the second-grade pharmacist badge on Xiao Yan's chest, and then scanned his young face, the two guards showed some surprise in their eyes.It is really rare to be a second-grade pharmacist at such a young age. The indifference on his face melted a little, he nodded slightly, and after saying wait a moment, one of them retreated, and then quickly flashed upstairs.

With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Xiao Yan stood at the door, slightly closed his eyes, and waited quietly. Not long after the guard went upstairs, there was a rush of footsteps, and a moment later, an old figure appeared in Xiao Yan's line of sight first, and his face was covered with scars. happy. The old man quickly came to the gate, glanced around, but did not see the person he wanted to see, the smile on his face froze slightly, he frowned slightly and said to the guard beside him: "Where are people? You don't know Shall I drive people away?" "Master Otto." Hearing the old man's scolding, Xiao Yan smiled and shouted out.

"You..." Hearing this slightly familiar shout, Otto was stunned for a while, and looked at the strange young man in front of him suspiciously. After a long while, he said in astonishment: "Xiao Yan? How did you get into such a state?" gone?" Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile, and said in a low voice to him, "I'll tell you later, there are too many people here." "Uh...then come with me." Hearing this, Otto nodded knowingly, turned his head to the two guards and said fiercely: "You two didn't hear anything, you know?" Seeing Otto's ferocious appearance, the two guards with indifferent faces smiled wryly, and then nodded wisely. After being guards for so many years, they naturally knew some taboos.

Otto's move made Xiao Yan nod his head slightly. He is indeed a person who can become the vice president of the Alchemist of Black Rock City, and he is really impeccable in his work. Following Ao Tuo, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan walked up the stairs slowly. After the crowds around them were sparse, Ao Tuo asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yan, why did you do this? Did you offend someone? Tell me what you say, Otto's words have some weight in this holy city." "Hehe, thank you, Master Ao Tuo, it's a personal matter, I just don't want to be recognized." Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, rejecting Ao Tuo's kindness.

"Is that so? That's up to you." Hearing Xiao Yan's polite refusal, Ao Tuo no longer persisted, and his old eyes slowly swept over Xiao Yan. After a long while, there was an unconcealable surprise in his voice: "Good boy, I haven't seen you in a year, and your strength has greatly increased? Now you, I am afraid that you are at least a five-star fighter?" "It's just a fluke." Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled. "Tsk tsk, what a nice little guy. This level of talent really makes people dumbfounded. I don't know which old guy is lucky to find such a good student." Otto praised full of authenticity, his face full of envy.

Xiao Yan smiled, but did not interrupt on this topic, and kept on the same parallel line with Otto without haste. "Arrived." He walked past several luxurious mansions, and finally stopped outside a spacious room. Hearing the scolding sound coming from inside, Otto smiled at Xiao Yan: "This is that old guy Falklan is reprimanding you." That girl Xuemei, that girl actually exchanged his fourth-grade medicine for a peach blossom tinder, it hurts him to death..." Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, he already knew that after Xue Mei went back, she would definitely receive a lot of scolding, the fourth-grade medicine prescription is not an ordinary thing.

Xiao Yan stepped into this spacious room, glanced around, and finally stopped in the middle of the room, where Falkland, who was wearing a pharmacist's robe, was frothing, his old face was livid and angrily slapped the table, and in front of him , Xue Mei held the Peach Blossom Tinder tightly with both hands, and kept silent no matter how furious Falkland was. At the other corner of the table, a woman in red was gloating at Xue Mei who was being scolded. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly shifted her gaze to Xiao Yan who was behind Otto. After sweeping over, the corner of his mouth suddenly muttered: "Teacher, this is the person who asked you to go down to pick it up in person? What a big face..." Hearing her voice, Falkland, who was scolding, also temporarily stopped, turned his eyes to Xiao Yan, and asked in surprise, "Old Ao, this is?" Looking at his appearance, when the guards reported earlier, they didn't Know who is coming. Seeing those surprised gazes, Xiao Yan touched his neck with his palm, and after a while, he tore off a piece of skin, revealing the original delicate and clear face. "Master Falklan, I haven't seen you for a year, and you're getting stronger and stronger." Xiao Yan put the ice silkworm skin into the storage ring, and said to Frank with a smile. "Xiao Yan? It turned out to be you, little guy. I thought you wouldn't come." Looking at the face that was a little less immature than a year ago, Frank was taken aback, and then said happily. Xiao Yan smiled, walked up slowly, looked at Xue Mei, who was dressed in a silver dress, looking glamorous and moving, just in time, she also cast her curious eyes over, looked at each other, and smiled politely at each other. "Master Falkland, although this kind of peach blossom fire is not a tyrannical flame, it is undoubtedly much stronger than the flame catalyzed by ordinary fighting spirit, and this flame is a little less manic than other flames, and a little more It is delicate and suitable for alchemy, although the fourth-grade prescription is very precious, but the master must have read it already? With your strength, you should be able to prepare another copy if you spend some time." Glancing at Xue The pink tinder in Mei's hand, Xiao Yan smiled at Falkland. "Well, that's the only way to go, but within half a year, it's impossible to prepare a fourth-grade prescription again. Making that thing is too much trouble." Shaking his head helplessly, Frank finally stopped cursing. Seeing that the teacher stopped reprimanding her, Xue Mei also breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled gratefully at Xiao Yan, her cold and pretty face seemed even more moving. "You actually interceded with Xuemei? Did you fall in love with her?" As Xue Mei's friend, Lin Fei was naturally not happy with her escaping like this, so she jumped out immediately, with her hands on her hips, staring at Xiao Yan's handsome face, but she murmured inexplicably in her heart: "This guy seems to be better than before." Much better looking?" Xiao Yan didn't pay too much attention to Lin Fei, who was like a little cat, and stared at her delicate cheeks until she couldn't help but blushed a little, then laughed and looked away, leaving Lin Fei stood there blushing and stamping her little feet. "Hehe, Xiao Yan, you must be here for the alchemist meeting when you come to the Holy City this time, right?" Pulling Lin Fei aside, Otto sat on the chair and said with a smile. Hearing Otto's words, Frank's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly cast his gaze on Xiao Yan. He naturally knew what kind of outstanding talent this little fellow had in refining medicine. If he wanted to participate in the Alchemist Conference, Will definitely be the favorite to win the championship. Xiao Yan smiled, moved his fingers slowly on the table, and said with a smile: "What's the benefit of participating in this conference? Is it just to gain a reputation? I'm not very interested in that." "Huh?" Hearing this, Otto and Frank were taken aback, and said in astonishment: "If you can stand out in the alchemist conference, the future will be smooth, and I don't know how many powerful forces will invite you to join... Your reputation and status will also increase rapidly in this overweight empire." "You have to know, that's how Pill King Furuhe got up back then." "Sorry, I don't like to take refuge in any forces." Xiao Yan shook his head, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "So tell me, is there any real benefit?" "Hey, you guy, aren't you too realistic?" Lin Fei frowned and said angrily when she heard Xiao Yan being so straightforward. Xiao Yan spread his hands and ignored her. "Oh, this little guy... I really don't want to scatter eagles when I don't see rabbits." With a wry smile and a glance at Flack, Otto shook his head helplessly, and said slowly: "According to the rules, every alchemist conference Champions will become honorary elders of the Alchemist Guild and enjoy the benefits and powers of the same level as the elders. At that time, you will be able to get help within your power at any branch of the Alchemist Guild of the Overweight Empire. And, You can exchange for the rare medicinal materials in the guild's warehouse first." "By the way, there are no more than fifteen people who are eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment in the entire Overweight Empire. As long as you become the honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, any force will weigh three points before moving you. Remember Stay, here are any forces, including the royal family, the Misty Cloud Sect! I, the Alchemist Guild, have the right to say this." The fingers that tapped the table suddenly paused, Xiao Yan pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes flickered. After Otto's words reached here, his heart gradually moved. He knew that sooner or later he would stand against the Misty Cloud Sect. position, and at this time, if there is a support behind the forces that can make the Misty Cloud Sect fear, then naturally it can save Xiao Yan a lot of trouble. Looking at Xiao Yan who was clearly agitated, Ao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, and cast the last temptation with a smile: "In addition, the reward for this year's champion is a volume of sixth-grade elixir prescriptions." "Sixth-grade elixir prescription?" Eye pupils shrank slightly, Xiao Yan took a breath of air-conditioning slowly, the value of this level of medicine is not even inferior to the fighting skills of the ground level. "What kind of medicine is it? What is its effect?" Xiao Yan asked cautiously. Although the sixth-grade medicine is rare, it also depends on the effect of the medicine. The value is at most similar to that of a fifth-grade prescription. "Spirit Melting Pill, a kind of medicine that can fuse the soul and the body, the effect of the medicine is a little out of the ordinary, but for the soul body, it is an excellent holy medicine. It can not only make the soul power recover quickly, but also Completely repair the wounds the soul has suffered." "Soul body? Restore soul power?" Sensitively grasping a few key words in it, Xiao Yan's heart gradually started beating violently. "Boy, get me the prescription of this elixir, and I won't kill you in the future!" Just when Xiao Yan's heart was moved by this generous condition, the arm in the sleeve robe suddenly became cold, and a faint soul message with a little bit of charm came into his mind. The sudden charming voice made Xiao Yan's palms in his sleeves clenched tightly.A breath of cold air quickly lingered in his chest, making his whole body icy cold, and he distinguished the owner of the voice, which was the Queen Medusa hidden in the body of the swallowing python...
