Fight to break the sky

Staring lazily at this piece of black broken jade, Xiao Yan held it in his hand casually. The jade piece was not smooth, but covered with tiny particles. It seemed that the material was not very good, and the jade There are still some faint cracks on the piece, and there is actually sand in the cracks.

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 what was strange. He searched around with his soul power, but there was no movement at all. No information was received.

"Does it feel wrong?" Xiao Yan murmured doubtfully in his heart. Xiao Yan slowly traced his fingers over the jade piece and wanted to put it down, but his palm could not drop it. After a while, he shook his head helplessly. , raised his head and glanced at the man who was staring at him eagerly, and casually selected a few barely acceptable medicinal materials on the stone platform with his palms, then raised his head to the man and said with a smile: "Do you want to exchange items? Want to sell?”

"Master, I would like to change to a third-grade elixir." Hearing this, the man perked up and smiled sarcastically. 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 lightly, Xiao Yan put the things in his hands into the ring, then took out a bottle of only three Qi-returning pills, threw it to the man, and said: "This is a third-grade Qi-returning elixir. Pills can quickly restore consumed fighting energy, and since they are relatively common consumable pills, I will give you three."

He hurriedly took the bottle, and the joy on the man's face could not be concealed. The value of the three rejuvenation pills would not be less than 40,000 gold coins. Calculating it this way, he still made a lot. He hurriedly faced Xiao Yan's lazily turned figure bent down to salute.

After leaving the stone platform, Xiao Yan walked out of the east area, stroking the ring with his fingers. The black piece of broken jade appeared in his palm again. He frowned slightly and played with it. After a moment, he still felt Since he had no 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 over a delicate woman who seemed to be a maid, and asked in a low voice the location of the branch president of Black Rock City.

Although she was suddenly pulled away, the maid who seemed to be in a hurry was a little angry, but when she saw the second-grade badge on Xiao Yan's chest, her pretty face suddenly showed a little awe, and she pointed to the place with the smallest flow of people. In the west area, he said softly: "That is the area where the presidents of the various branches of the Jiama Empire are located. However, only alchemists of third grade or above are eligible to enter."

"Haha, thank you very much." After thanking him, Xiao Yan walked towards the quiet west area. Before entering, he was stopped by two guards at the door as expected.

"Please tell me Master Frank or Master Otto in Black Rock City, and tell Xiao Yan to come and see you." Looking at the two guards with indifferent expressions, Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Their eyes glanced at the second-grade alchemist badge on Xiao Yan's chest, and then glanced at his young face. The two guards showed some surprise in their eyes. It was quite rare to be a second-grade alchemist at such a young age. His indifference also melted a little, he nodded slightly, said "wait a moment", one person stepped back, and then quickly flashed upstairs.

With his hands retracted into his sleeves, Xiao Yan stood at the door, eyes slightly closed, waiting quietly.

Not long after the guard went upstairs, there was a rapid sound of footsteps. A moment later, an old figure appeared in Xiao Yan's sight first, his face covered with 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, and he frowned slightly and scolded the guards on the side: "Where are the people? You don't know how. Can you drive them away for me?"

"Master Otto." Hearing the old man's scolding, Xiao Yan smiled and shouted.

"You..." Hearing this slightly familiar shout, Otto was stunned, looking at the strange young man in front of him with doubts. After a long while, he said in shock: "Xiao Yan? How did you end up like this? ?”

Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, and whispered to him: "I'll tell you later, there are many people here and there are many eyes."

"Uh... then come in with me." Hearing this, Otto nodded understandingly, turned his head and said fiercely to the two guards: "You two didn't hear anything, do you understand?"

Seeing Otto's fierce look, the two indifferent guards smiled bitterly, and then nodded wisely. After being guards for so many years, they naturally knew some taboos.

Otto's move made Xiao Yan nod slightly. He was indeed a person who could become the vice-president of the Alchemist of Black Rock City, and his work was really impeccable.

Following Otto, Xiao Yan and the two slowly walked up the stairs. After the crowd around them was sparse, Otto asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yan, why did you end up like this? Did you offend someone? Tell me, in this holy city of Gama, what I, Otto, say does have some weight."

"Haha, thank you Master Otto. It's just a private matter and I don't want to be recognized." Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, declining Otto's kindness.

"Is that so? That's up to you." Hearing Xiao Yan's polite refusal, Otto no longer insisted. His old eyes slowly swept over Xiao Yan. After a while, there was unconcealable surprise in his voice: "What a good boy. I haven't seen you for a year, but your strength has greatly increased? I'm afraid you are at least a five-star fighting master now, right?"

"It's just a fluke." Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled.

"Tsk, tsk, what a nice little guy. Such talent is really astonishing. I wonder which old guy is lucky enough to find such a good student." Otto said full of praise, with envy on his face.

Xiao Yan smiled and did not interrupt on this topic, keeping pace with Otto in an unhurried manner.

"arrive."

After walking through several luxurious houses, he finally stopped outside a spacious room. Listening to the curses coming from inside, Otto smiled at Xiao Yan and said, "This is the old guy from Falkland who is scolding That girl Xuemei, that girl actually exchanged his fourth-grade medicine for a peach blossom fire seed, but it made him feel bad..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan burst into laughter. He had long known that Xuemei would definitely be scolded when she returned. A fourth-grade prescription was no ordinary thing.

Xiao Yan stepped into this spacious room, glanced around, and finally stopped in the center of the room. There, Falkland, who was wearing an alchemist's robe, was frothing at the mouth, slapping the table angrily with a livid face, and in front of him , Xuemei held the peach blossom fire in her hands tightly, and remained silent no matter how furious Falkland was.

In the other corner of the table, a woman in red clothes was gloating at Xuemei who was being scolded. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly shifted her gaze to Xiao Yan behind Otto. After scanning it, he curled up the corner of his mouth and muttered: "Teacher, is this the person you want to pick up in person? It's such a big honor~~"

Hearing her voice, the cursing Falkland temporarily stopped, turned to Xiao Yan, and said in surprise: "Old Ao, what is this?" Judging from his appearance, when the guard reported earlier, they were not Don't know who is coming.

Seeing the surprised looks, Xiao Yan touched his neck with his palm, and after a moment, he tore off a piece of face, revealing his original delicate white face.

"Master Frankland, I haven't seen you for a year, you are getting stronger and stronger." Xiao Yan put the ice silkworm dough into the ring and said with a smile at Frank.

"Xiao Yan? It's 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 stunned and said with great joy.

Xiao Yan smiled, walked up slowly, and looked at Xue Mei, who was wearing a silver dress and looked cold and charming. She happened to cast curious eyes over, looked at each other, and smiled politely.

"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. Moreover, this kind of flame is a little less manic and a little more violent than other flames. It's delicate, and it's very suitable for refining elixirs. Although the fourth-grade prescription is very precious, the master must have read it already, right? With your strength and some time, you should be able to prepare another copy." He glanced at Xue Xiao Yan smiled at Falkland with the pink fire in his hand.

"Well, that's all we can do, but within half a year, it's impossible to prepare a new fourth-grade prescription. It's too troublesome to make that thing." Shaking his head helplessly, Frank finally stopped cursing.

Seeing that the teacher no longer reprimanded him, Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Xiao Yan. Her cold and pretty face looked even more moving.

"You actually interceded with Xuemei? Are you attracted to her?"

As Xuemei's enemy, Linfei was naturally not happy for her to escape like this. She jumped out in a hurry, put her hands on her hips, stared at Xiao Yan's handsome face, but inexplicably muttered to herself: "This guy seems to be better than before. Does it look much better?"

Xiao Yan didn't pay too much attention to Lin Fei, who was like a little female cat. He stared at her beautiful cheeks until she couldn't help but blush a little, then he laughed and looked away, leaving Xia Linfei stood there with a pretty face and stamped her little feet angrily.

"Haha, Xiao Yan, you must have come to Jia Ma Holy City this time for the Alchemist Conference, right?" Pulling Lin Fei aside, Otto sat on the chair and said with a smile.

Hearing Alto's words, Frank's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly turned his attention to Xiao Yan. He naturally knew what kind of outstanding alchemy talent this little guy had. If he wanted to participate in the Alchemist Conference, he would definitely do it. Will be the favorite to win the championship.

Xiao Yan smiled, moved his fingers slowly on the table, and said with a smile: "What are the benefits of participating in this conference? Is it just to gain a false reputation? I'm not very interested in that."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Otto and Frank were stunned and said in astonishment: "If you can stand out at the Alchemist Conference, your future will be bright. I don't know how many powerful forces will come to invite you to join... And Your reputation and status in the Jia Ma Empire will also increase rapidly."

"You have to know that this is how the Dan King Gu He got up."

"Sorry, I don't like to join forces." Xiao Yan shook his head, stretched, and said with a smile, "So tell me, what are the real benefits?"

"Hey, you guys are too realistic, aren't you?" On the side, hearing Xiao Yan being so direct, Lin Fei frowned and said angrily.

Xiao Yan spread his hands and ignored her.

"Alas, this little guy... really doesn't let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit." Looking at each other with a wry smile, Otto shook his head helplessly and said slowly: "According to the rules, every alchemist conference Champions will become honorary elders of the Alchemist Guild, enjoying the same level of benefits and power as the elders. At that time, you will be able to get help within your power from any branch of the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire. Moreover, you can have priority in exchange for rare medicinal materials in the guild’s warehouse.”

"By the way, in the entire Jiama Empire, there will be no more than fifteen people who are qualified to enjoy this kind of treatment. As long as you become the honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, any force will weigh three points before touching you. Remember, any force is here, including the royal family and the Yunlan Sect! I, the Alchemist Guild, am still qualified to say this."

The fingers tapping on the table suddenly paused. Xiao Yan pursed his lips slightly and his eyes flickered. At this point of Otto's words, something started to move in his heart. He knew that sooner or later he would be on the opposite side of the Yunlan Sect. Position, and at this time, if there is a force behind it that can make the Yunlan Sect fearful, it will naturally save Xiao Yan a lot of trouble.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was obviously agitated, Otto breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he offered up the last temptation: "In addition, the reward for this championship is a volume of sixth-grade elixir prescriptions."

"Recipe for a sixth-grade elixir?" His pupils shrank slightly, and Xiao Yan slowly took a breath of cold air. The value of a prescription of this level would not even be inferior to that of an earth-level fighting skill.

"What kind of prescription is it? What does it do?" Xiao Yan asked cautiously. Although sixth-grade prescriptions are rare, they also depend on the effect of the elixir. For example, Hai Bodong's Po'er elixir last time was a partial prescription. , the value is at most similar to a fifth-grade prescription.

"Spirit Fusion Pill is a pill that can fuse the soul and the body. Its efficacy is a bit unsophisticated, but for the soul body, it is an excellent holy medicine. It can not only quickly restore the soul's power, but also Completely repair the wounds that have been suffered by the soul.”

"Soul body? Restore soul power?" Xiao Yan grasped a few key words sensitively, and Xiao Yan's heart gradually began to beat violently.

"Boy, get me the recipe for this spirit-melting pill. I won't kill you in the future!"

Just when Xiao Yan was moved by this generous offer, the arm in his sleeves suddenly became cold, and a faint soul message with a slightly charming flavor was transmitted into his mind.

The sudden charming voice made Xiao Yan's palms in his sleeves suddenly clenched tightly, and a breath of cold air quickly circulated in his chest, making his whole body go cold. He identified the owner of the voice, and it was the man hidden in Tuntian. Queen Medusa inside a python...
