Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Quiz, the mysterious gray-robed man!

Looking up at the perfectly round pill that flew out, Xiao Yan's face was calm, and with a stroke of his palm, a suction force pulled it into his palm. The moment the elixir was taken, the last grains of sand in the huge hourglass finally poured down completely.Immediately, on the huge square, hundreds of red rays of light lit up from the stone platforms in front of the pharmacists who hadn't yet refined the finished elixir. Disappointedly looking at the flashing red light in front of them, those alchemists could only shake their heads with wry smiles, then took back their respective medicine cauldrons, and walked out of the square with dejected faces.

Standing behind the Qingtai, Xiao Yan looked at those contestants who had withdrawn one after another, looked around, and found with some astonishment that this was only the first round of assessment, and that nearly one-third of the contestants were given to the competition. Eliminated out, this really made him have to sigh, the strictness and harshness of the conference. Playing with the elixir in his hand, Xiao Yan turned his head and turned his gaze to Liu Ling who was at the side. At this moment, this guy was throwing the elixir in his hand with a smile, his face full of complacency, Xiao Yan looked over, He held the pill firmly in his hand, smiled at him and said: "Mr. Yan Xiao, you are very lucky, you actually refined the pill at the last moment... You are the best in the internal test Oh, if you can't even pass this level, then it's really a big joke."

Glancing at Liu Ling's terrified appearance, Xiao Yan smiled lightly and said, "Anyway, as long as this thing is refined, it will pass the test. There seems to be no difference between the first moment and the last moment..." "Mr. Yan Xiao's words are a bit self-deceiving. It is an undeniable skill to be able to refine medicine at the fastest speed in this conference where there are countless outstanding alchemists participating." Liu Ling Smiling, he naturally didn't want Xiao Yan to cut down his grades with just one word. "Hehe, maybe..." Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yan stopped wasting words with him, turned his head and smiled and cupped his hands with the little princess beside him, then looked up at Fa Ma on the VIP seat, and waited. Follow his mouth.

... "call……" At the VIP seat, Otto took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve gown, and smiled wryly at Frank who was also covered in cold sweat: "This guy, no matter what, he always likes to mess with things like this." It's so thrilling, doesn't he know how to think about us old guys? We don't have such a good heart like him for such a thrilling thing." Frank also had a wry smile on his face. Of course, there was some happiness in addition to the wry smile: "But fortunately, I finally finished the test at the last moment. Otherwise, the best result of the internal test would be to pass the first test." If not, then it would be really embarrassing..."

Hearing this, Otto nodded in sympathy.If that's the case, then it's fun, he packs up and goes back to Black Rock City... Fa Ma stood at the front desk, looking down at the huge square from a high position, his eyes swept slightly, looking at the contestants who had been washed by a third, he smiled and nodded, his hands were slightly pressed.The noisy venue suddenly gradually quieted down. "Congratulations to you who are still standing in the square, you have successfully passed the first round of rough tests. However, this is not completely over..." Fa Ma smiled and said: "You must know it. Some cunning little guys, always They like to do some inexplicable things. They may have successfully refined a round-looking elixir, but that kind of elixir has no healing effect. Basically, it has nothing to do with the word elixir... So , Next, we will test whether the "Raw Bone Pill" you have refined meets the requirements of the prescription..."

Fa Ma's slightly hoarse voice slowly rang in everyone's ears: "Now, all contestants, please find a green button in the lower left corner of your Qingshi platform, and press it." Hearing this, Xiao Yan swept his eyes over the stone platform, and finally stopped at the unobtrusive corner on the lower left corner. He was a little surprised to find that there were several small buttons of different colors scattered here and there. , his finger stayed on the green button as promised, and Xiao Yan lightly pressed it. As the button was pressed, the clean bluestone platform suddenly trembled slightly. On the platform, a stone slab protruded slowly. black hole.

"This is a testing machine. Put the "Raw Bone Pill" that you refined into it. If the requirements are met, the jade mirror in front of the stage will light up green, and if not, it will be red, and then It represents failure, and the ending of failure is to leave the stage... In addition, the more green the light is, it means that the "Bone Bone Pill" he refined is the most suitable for the special effects recorded in the prescription, otherwise, the red light is more... Then It means... what you refined is not a "bone pill" at all, but a kind of meatball that has no effect at all. Of course, if it can satisfy your hunger, it still has some effect..."

Hearing the humorous laughter that resounded over the square, there was a burst of laughter from the audience seats and the VIP seats, but in that square, there were many alchemists whose expressions suddenly changed... "Hehe, well, everyone, let's get started..." Gently pinching the round elixir with his fingers, Xiao Yan calmly looked at the dark hole of the testing machine, but he didn't rush to throw it in. Instead, he glanced around. At this time, some alchemists had already started throwing the pills in their hands. Not long after the pills were thrown into the testing machine, the empty square suddenly became colorful, with strong or weak green and red rays of light. Intertwined and flickering, each other prints joy and gloom...

"Damn it, shit testing machine..." A second-grade pharmacist glared at the jade mirror with a gloomy red glow. The red glow there was almost the most intense in the entire square. Therefore, Countless astonished gazes were cast on this gloomy young man. He smashed his fist hard on the stone platform, and the pharmacist put the medicine cauldron into the ring, and under the gaze of countless eyes, he stepped off the stage cursingly, with a livid face, gritted his teeth, and walked out of the square. . "Fuck, just make some messy assessments... Serious refining of pills will kill people? A group of old and immortal guys... Thanks to my painstaking efforts to stuff those medicinal materials together, you even gave me a test. Damn...give me a prescription, there is no shit information except the name, what a ghost..."

Looking at the second-grade pharmacist who walked out in front of him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded when he heard the extremely uncomfortable curse in his mouth. He didn't expect that this kind of living treasure could pass the thrilling examination before. . Following this round of tests, at least nearly a hundred alchemists left the square with blue or red faces. "Hehe, Mr. Yan Xiao, let's go together..." The little princess threw the pill in her hand, and suddenly smiled at Xiao Yan. "Whatever..." Xiao Yan shrugged indifferently, and turned his head to look at Liu Ling who was also staring at him. At this moment, the rivalry in the opponent's eyes was very strong...

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and almost at the same time, the pills in the hands of the three were thrown into the hole of the dark testing machine. With the input of the three people's pills, countless eyes were cast on this most eye-catching position. Everyone wanted to know that these three players were obviously seed-level players. The prepared pill will be even better... "Boom, boom, boom..." The jade mirror was slightly silent, and after a moment, there was a muffled sound, and three beams of bright green light burst out from the stone platform in front of the three of them. Green light must appear intense. There are three green lights, the left one is slightly weaker, the right one is slightly brighter, but the green light beam in the middle is as green as emerald, and its color is extremely attractive. "Wow... what a strong color." Looking at the emerald-like beam of light in the middle, there were one after another surprised voices in the auditorium. "Hehe, Mr. Yanxiao really has a plan in his mind. Although the time is the longest, the special effect of this elixir is the best. Yue'er is willing to bow down." Meimou looked at the emerald beam in front of Xiao Yan in surprise, the little princess Shaking his head, he sighed. "It's just a fluke." Xiao Yan smiled casually, turned his head, saw Liu Ling's slightly gloomy face, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a light smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu Ling." The corner of Liu Ling's mouth twitched slightly, she took a deep breath, turned her head, stared fixedly at the shining green jade mirror, and suddenly felt an urge to smash it into pieces. ... "Hehe, Yan Xiao is indeed slightly better." Looking at the three bright beams of light in the square, Fa Ma chuckled lightly. "If it wasn't for the sudden disappearance of that little guy Zi Huo, he must have rushed to refine the elixir in front of Liu Ling. It can be compared." Hai Bodong smiled proudly. Fa Ma smiled, and just about to speak, his complexion suddenly changed slightly, and he let out a small sigh, his eyes swept across the huge square, and finally stopped at a remote corner, where a man wrapped in a The figure in the gray robe was slowly putting the pill in his hand into the testing machine. "What's the matter?" Seeing Fa Ma's reaction, Jia Lao was slightly taken aback, and asked suspiciously. "That person..." The old eyes narrowed slightly, and the cloudy eyes flickered with brilliance. Fa Ma tapped lightly on the guardrail with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "That guy seems a little strong..." "Oh?" Hearing this, Hai Bodong and Jia Lao were a little surprised, their gazes were fixed on the gray-robed man for an instant, then they frowned and asked in doubt, "Didn't you find anything wrong?" "You are not alchemists, so the perception of soul power is not very clear, but according to my perception, that guy's soul power is probably much stronger than Liu Ling, Yue'er, and even Yan Xiao. In the square below Among them, his soul power should be the strongest. I remember that when Gu He participated in the alchemist conference, his soul power was not as strong as his..." Shaking his head, Fa Ma frowned tightly, his eyes fixed staring down.A moment later, on the stone platform in front of the gray-robed man, a brilliant green beam of light suddenly shot out, and its brightness almost faintly surpassed Xiao Yan's green light. The sudden strong green light almost instantly attracted the eyes of the square. When everyone saw that the person who created such a beam of light was actually a gray-robed man huddled in a remote corner, they couldn't help but His face was full of astonishment. The sudden strong green light also attracted the eyes of Xiao Yan and the others. Looking at the beam of light that was even stronger than his own light, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then frowned slightly, looking Looking at the mysterious man who wrapped his whole body in a gray robe.He didn't expect that at this moment, such a powerful person would appear inexplicably, and judging from his figure and position, he was obviously not those who participated in the internal test that day... "Could it be a free pharmacist?" Xiao Yan murmured in a low voice. Xiao Yan pursed his lips slightly and stared at the gray-robed man. From his deep perception, he felt that this mysterious gray-robed man might be the leader of this meeting. Toughest opponent. As if aware of Xiao Yan's gaze, the head of the gray-robed man slightly raised his head, revealing half of his pale and immature face. Under the cover of the bamboo hat, a pair of eyes shining with light blue light stared at Xiao Yan with a little coldness. with the former. "Who is this guy?" Staring in amazement at the formidable opponent who suddenly appeared, the little princess and Liu Ling both looked at each other in surprise, their faces full of bewilderment. ... "Chelsea, give me his information..." Fa Ma suddenly turned to Chelsea at the front desk of the VIP seat and said in a deep voice. When Fa Ma made a surprised sound earlier, Chelsea sensed that something was wrong, and quickly identified the location number of the gray-robed man, then took out a stack of documents from the ring, and flipped them quickly. After a long while, the flipping gradually Stop, the information recorded on a piece of thin paper appeared, and the portrait painted on it was exactly the mysterious gray-robed man. However, this time, the gray-robed man had a clear close-up of his face. With a pair of blue eyes, and a pale and cold face of a teenager, it seems that he is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, so young that it makes people feel a little weird... Passing the information to Fa Ma, the latter read it carefully with a slight frown. After a while, his face changed, and he said, "Is it the alchemist of the Izumo Empire?" Strictly speaking, the Izumo Empire and the Jia Ma Empire are hostile countries that are often at war, and because the Izumo Empire's mortal enemy profession for alchemists: "Poison Master" is very popular, this also makes the orthodox alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire They don't like them very well. Of course, the most important thing is that whenever the two countries go to war, those "poison masters" will use those extremely indecent methods to release poison, poison powder, and venom in various places. In every battle, the number of Jia Ma Empire soldiers who died because of this was an extremely horrifying number. In addition, in the Izumo Empire, the pharmacists in their country did not oppose the poison masters very much, and some even cooperated with each other, so this also caused the pharmacists of the Jia Ma Empire to treat these pharmacists who almost betrayed the purpose of the pharmacy world. Guy, very angry and disdainful. And because of this, when Fa Ma saw that the mysterious gray-robed man was actually a member of the Izumo Empire, his expression was a little ugly. "Why is it written as a second-grade pharmacist? With the soul power I sensed earlier, that guy is at least a fourth-grade pharmacist!" Looking at the grade recorded on the information, Fa Ma frowned. "A seventeen-year-old fourth-grade pharmacist? President, do you think this is possible? No matter how talented he is, alchemy requires time and experience." Chelsea said with a wry smile. "My senses can't go wrong..." Fa Ma shook his head, staring fixedly at that immature face. For some reason, he always felt that this face was a little weird. "Could it be that he came here in disguise? Judging by his proficiency in refining elixir, it is extremely unlike what a teenager can possess." Fa Ma murmured in a low voice. "If you change your face, it is naturally impossible to escape our detection." Jia Lao smiled faintly. When he said this, the corners of his eyes scanned Xiao Yan's position at the bottom of the square without any trace. Sweeping, it seems that he also discovered Xiao Yan's disguise, but, due to some reasons, he did not expose it. "But that guy hides himself very well. During this kind of competition, we can't suspend the meeting and let him take off the hat, right? Then others will say that our Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire is too domineering." That's rude." Fa Ma said helplessly after seeing the gray-robed man who covered his head tightly. "He won't open it, so let us help him..." Hai Bodong stood up, came to Fa Ma's side, and laughed softly. "You... won't be discovered by others, right?" Fa Ma's expression flickered when he heard this, and he hesitated immediately. "Hehe, although my strength has declined a little now, I can still control the cold current and freeze that fragile robe into powder unconsciously..." Hai Bodong chuckled lightly, he naturally He knew that if a pharmacist from the Izumo Empire won the championship in the Jiama Empire's pharmacist conference, it would embarrass Defa Ma and others. "Old man Hai's ice-type grudge is really the most suitable for this kind of thing that requires subtle manipulation. My grudge attribute tends to be domineering, and it is suitable for breaking mountains and cracking rocks. Now, it can't..." Jia Lao shook his head and said. "Alright...then please." After pondering for a while, Fa Ma nodded and said in a low voice. Smiling, Hai Bodong's eyes gradually narrowed, his withered fingers stretched out of his sleeves, flicking slightly, and with the flicking of his fingers, faint strange fluctuations spread quietly. When Hai Bodong was secretly moving, Jia Lao and Fa Ma got closer to him, seemingly discussing something, but they just blocked the surrounding sight. "It seems that something has happened to the meeting..." Yafei looked at the three Haibodong people not far ahead with deep meaning in her eyes, and said in a low voice. It can be seen that since the appearance of the previous strong green light, Fa Ma's face is slightly unsightly, and Chelsea's behavior of flipping through the documents later also confirmed something. "Hmm... that mysterious gray-robed man seems to have broken the order of the meeting." Yao Ye and Nalan Yanran nodded slightly. It was not missed either. "The "Bone Pill" refined by that gray-robed man seems to be even better than the three of Yan Xiao and the others... I thought this conference was for the three of them to compete for the championship, but I didn't expect it to happen suddenly Such a dark horse came out of nowhere..." Ya Fei frowned slightly, and said helplessly in her heart. ... A faint cold current quietly shuttled through the air, and after a while, it lingered indistinctly above the head of the mysterious gray-robed man, like a few strands of ice snakes invisible to the naked eye, quietly vomited. At this time, the gray-robed man was slowly packing up the things on the stone surface. At a certain moment, his moving palm suddenly froze, the blue eyes under the gray robe shrank suddenly, and the soles of his feet stepped heavily on the ground, and his body froze. Want to retreat violently. "Hmph, where are we going?" Seeing the gray-robed man who seemed to have noticed the cold current, Hai Bodong was also slightly surprised, and immediately sneered, and clenched his palms tightly: "Break!" "Boom!" With Hai Bodong's palm clenched, the gray-robed man who was just about to move, the bamboo hat on top of his head suddenly turned into a piece of powder, and then poured down. The bamboo hat disappeared, and the immature face hidden under it suddenly appeared under the gaze of countless eyes. At that moment, there were gasps of air-conditioning in the auditorium and VIP seats. No one expected that this The person who got the best result in the first round was actually such an immature boy... The boy with blue eyes stretched out his hand to touch the bamboo hat that had disappeared, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and shot his cold gaze at Hai Bodong and the other three at the front desk of the VIP seats. "This guy is definitely not simple. Not only can he detect my cold current, but he can also use it to detect my position..." Hai Bodong rubbed his chin and said with a sneer, narrowing his eyes and looking at the gray-robed boy: "Although I don't know why he has such an immature youthful face, but if he is really only seventeen years old as written in the information, then I, Hai Bodong, don't have to come out anymore, just go live in seclusion for the rest of my life... " Fa Ma and Jia Lao narrowed their eyes and nodded slowly. "This conference seems to be interesting..."
