The First Saint of Alchemy

The next day, the golden rooster crowed, and before the sun rose completely, Mr. Tang got up early and stood outside the gate.

This was the seventh day that Mr. Tang had done this.

The climate was already late autumn, approaching early winter. Even Mr. Tang, who was already at the ninth level of the Xuan Rank, was wearing a cotton robe at this time.

Time slipped away bit by bit, and Mr. Tang's hair and eyebrows were stained with dew. He was in no mood to wipe it, but his expression became more and more anxious.

Today was the day for Yuncheng to select the quota for the East Region Competition, and his grandson had not returned yet.

It was not that he was worried that Tang Yan would miss the competition, but according to the original agreement, the boy should have returned. It has been two months, and there has been no news. Did something unexpected happen?

For a moment, Mr. Tang regretted that he should not have agreed to Tang Yan's request so hastily.

At 9:00 pm, Mo Bo came out of the courtyard and said softly, "Master, the young master is already at the seventh level of the Yellow Rank. The second-level spirit beast is not a big threat to the young master. Even if he can't beat him, he can still escape. Besides, the young master also said that his master will protect him secretly, and the young master will definitely come back."

"Hey, it's been two months!" In front of Mo Bo, his old partner, Mr. Tang did not hide his worries.

"Maybe the young master didn't remember the time clearly. If the young master doesn't come back tomorrow, we will send all the elite forces to Cangyun Mountain to find the young master." Mo Bo suggested on the side.

"It can only be done this way!" Mr. Tang nodded, looked at the sky, and ordered: "The selection of participants in the East Region Competition will start soon. Although Tang Yan is not here, we must attend this grand event. Let's go and take a look together."

The two old men took some followers of the Tang family and took a carriage to the Yuntai in the center of Yuncheng.

The Yuntai, located in the center of Yuncheng, is an arena of about 2,000 square meters. The ring is made of broken iron rock, which is extremely solid and can withstand the full force of a strong man of the heavenly rank.

It is rarely opened on weekdays, and even the Mid-Autumn Festival Conference did not use the Yuntai.

Unless there are some particularly important things, or things related to the glory of Yuncheng, this ring will be opened.

At this moment, the center of Yuncheng is extremely lively again. Most people in Yuncheng have temporarily abandoned their work and gathered here.

There are only three places to compete for this time. And everyone in Yuncheng also expected that Liu Zhi of the Liu family will definitely take one place this time, and Lin Dongxue, the daughter of the city lord, will take one place.

The biggest highlight this time is that the children of the major families will compete for the only remaining place.

Qin He of the Qin family, Wu Feiming of the Wu family, and Tang Yan of the Tang family are all popular candidates in Yuncheng.

This is also the first time that Tang Yan has been compared with heroes like Qin He and Wu Feiming in a formal occasion.

After all, Tang Yan’s duel with Liu Zhi last time was too shocking to everyone. The strength of the sixth rank of the Yellow Rank can compete with the ninth rank of the Yellow Rank. Such courage and strength are not something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, there are some people who are also within the expectations of the people of Yuncheng, such as Qian Rulong of the Qian family, Zhao Chen of the Zhao family, and Li Xingfeng of the Li family. It is said that the strength of these people has also reached the sixth rank of the Yellow Rank.

When Mr. Tang arrived, the people of the other four major families had already arrived.

As one of the four major families in Yuncheng, the status of the Tang family at this moment is also very delicate. The Tang family, which was originally ranked at the bottom of the four major families, is now listed by everyone as the only family that can compete with the Liu family.

Seeing the people of the Tang family coming, the onlookers in front immediately made way.

Then everyone showed a puzzled expression on their faces. Why didn't Tang Yan, who everyone was also optimistic about, show up?

And this discovery immediately spread among the crowd. Everyone's eyes kept falling on the seats of the Tang family, pointing and talking from time to time.

It may be because everyone has a deep-rooted impression of Tang Yan, the dandy young master. Although Tang Yan was able to compete with Liu Zhi at that time, which was extremely amazing, most people are discussing at this time that Tang Yan did not dare to participate in the battle.

There are also some rumors that Tang Yan's strength is not at the sixth level of the Yellow Rank. Last time, he just used some magic weapons to forcibly improve his strength. Now that the magic weapons have been used up, he can't participate in the battle.

There are also some rumors that Tang Yan has not shown up for two months because he was seriously injured in the last duel with Liu Zhi and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Three people make a tiger. It has not been a quarter of an hour since the Tang family arrived. These seemingly bizarre rumors have quietly spread among the crowd, and some people really believe them.

Seeing that almost everyone has arrived, the city lord Lin Xiao walked onto the cloud platform.

After scanning the circle, his eyes paused at the position of the Tang family for a while, and he felt a little strange. Where did this Tang Yan go? The spies in the mansion did not find out about Tang Yan for two months.

This guy seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Could it be true that he has died as the rumors said?

But thinking of the various interactions with Tang Yan before, Lin Xiao felt it was extremely absurd. Although Tang Yan looked very young, he was mature and thorough in doing things. How could such a demon-like person die so easily?

Tang Yan didn't come, and Lin Xiao couldn't wait for him. He collected his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "In a month, it will be the East Region Competition. This is an inspection of the younger generation among the cities in the East Region, and it is also related to the honor of our Yuncheng!"

"Our Yuncheng will have three places to participate in the war. It is related to the honor of Yuncheng. We must select the best talents in Yuncheng! The heroes who are finally selected will represent Yuncheng in the war!

If you achieve outstanding results in the East Region Competition, you will not only be famous in the East Region, but also receive generous rewards, and Yuncheng will also be honored because of you! "

Lin Xiao's highly infectious words made the blood of some young people present begin to boil.

Representing Yuncheng and fighting for glory! Isn't this exactly what young people often fantasize about?

"The scope of this selection is not limited to high or low status, regardless of origin or wealth. As long as you are from my Yuncheng, as long as you have confidence in your own strength, you can sign up to participate!"

After Lin Xiao said this, many young people's eyes lit up. They thought they had no chance to participate in the battle, but they didn't expect the scope of the selection to be so wide.

Compared to the excitement here in Yuntai, the Tang family is much more idle.

"Ah!" When Tang Yan finished refining the elixir, took a shower and changed his clothes, and was about to go to find his grandfather, he heard a scream.

This penetrating soprano really shocked Tang Yan, and he glared at Xiao Cui with dissatisfaction: "What the hell are you screaming in broad daylight!"

"Master! Are you really back? "Xiao Cui's eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost.

Hearing Xiao Cui's words, Tang Yan said unhappily: "It's only been two months since we last met, and you don't even recognize me?"
