Terrifying Elimination
Liu Ling, Yao Yue, and the others noticed that Xiao Tian and Yan Li had begun to fight each other. In addition, the two had been the first and second place contestants in the first round, and were also the Two Dark Horses with the strongest strength.
Everyone stopped what they were doing to watch the two, wanting to see where the problem lay in this assessment, since they had both failed once, and another failure would only mean leaving in frustration.
Xiao Tian pondered for a moment, then lowered his head to tidy up the table, putting everything away except for a purple, Earth Essence Mushroom in the very center of the table.
Noticing Xiao Tian's actions, some clever Alchemist instantly understood the problem and cast grateful glances at Xiao Tian before quickly rekindling their Medicine Cauldron to begin refining their medicines. Even Liu Ling, who didn't get along with Xiao Tian, did the same.
After the hourglass ran out, Xiao Tian glanced around and saw that only about a hundred people remained.
The elimination rate is terrifying; after two rounds, only a handful of people remain.
After that, just like the first round, the effects of the pills were tested, and about ten people were eliminated for cheating.
Among them, Xiao Tian had the best effect with the pills, followed by Xiao Yan, and then Yan Li.
By the time the assessment and testing were completed, it was already dark, and the surrounding streetlights had started operating.
"Everyone, tomorrow is the final of the Alchemist Convention. Who will ultimately win the championship depends on tomorrow. Don't be absent, or you'll regret it for the rest of your lives."
"The outcome is still uncertain; we could both be Dark Horse."
Fa Ma laughed loudly, then left the VIP section.
Everyone packed their belongings and headed out of the square.
Xiao Tian arrived outside the square, where Ya Fei and the other two were waiting at the entrance.
When the three saw Xiao Tian come out, they didn't care about the onlookers' gazes and immediately threw themselves into Xiao Tian's arms.
"Xiao Tian (Younger Brother Xiao Tian, young master), you're really amazing! First place in both rounds of assessments, you're truly incredible!"
Sensing the genuine joy of the three, Xiao Tian couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
"Alright, with so many people watching, I'll let you hug them all when we get back."
Who cares?
The three women Ya Fei and her two companions, blushed slightly as they left Xiao Tian's Xiao Tian and stood beside him, asserting their dominance.
Seeing this scene, many young girls clutched their chests, looking heartbroken, while other men shed tears of envy.
On the other side, Xiao Yan was also stopped and talked to by Nalan Yanran and Yao Ye.
Later, Yao Ye invited Xiao Tian and the others to a celebration banquet, Xiao Tian politely declined.
He cupped his hands in greeting to Yao Ye and the others, then led Ya Fei and the other two women away from the square, returning to the Mittel Family.
Xiao Yan wanted to follow, but he was entangled by Nalan Yanran and Yao Ye and couldn't break free.
That night, the three Dou Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire acted as thieves, discovering the identity of the gray-robed man: Yan Li, the Vice President of the Chu Yun Empire Alchemist Guild who had used the Appearance Recovery Pill, a middle-aged man.
When Teacher Ma comes, he has to say that I don't know martial ethics.
During this time, the three of them also attacked Yan Li, and Yan Li destroyed all the remaining recovery pills.
After a series of threats, the three Dou Emperor left the scene. If word got out, they might become famous overnight, but their graves would surely be overgrown with weeds.
The three Dou Emperor returned to Fa Ma's office. The three old men talked for about ten minutes, and Fa Ma gritted his teeth and decided to offer something good to support the competition.
"Ice Old Man, please ask me to invite Young Friend Xiao Tian over. I have something to discuss with them."
Hai Bo Dong understood his intentions, nodded, and used his Dou Qi Wings, flying towards the direction of the Mittel Family. It was inconvenient to expose the Sound Transmission Stone in front of the two of them, especially in front of Jia Xing Tian, as this thing was even more important to their empire.
It is a strategic resource, something that can even change the overall operational efficiency of a country.
After searching around without finding Xiao Tian and receiving no reply from the Sound Transmission Stone, they guessed that Xiao Tian might have returned to the Free and Unfettered World.
Finally, they found Xiao Yan through the Sound Transmission Stone, and then carried Xiao Yan and flew rapidly towards the Alchemist Guild.
Xiao Yan's mind was still foggy. After receiving the message on his Sound Transmission Stone, he had just finished reading it when he learned that the Alchemist Guild had something good for him.
Before they could even ask what it was, Hai Bo Dong, who had barged in, had already Luffy to the Alchemist Guild.
Where is my Young Friend Xiao Tian?
Fa Ma looked at Hai Bo Dong with a puzzled expression and asked.
"I can't find that kid. He's probably having a good time somewhere. You can only find him when he wants to find you; otherwise, forget about it."
Hai Bo Dong shrugged and said helplessly.
Fa Ma looked at Xiao Yan in front of him and knew that his strength was also quite good, even able to overpower Yan Li, which made him feel much more relaxed.
"Young friend Yan Xiao, please forgive my intrusion."
Fa Ma smiled and looked at Hai Bo Dong was still sorting out what he had told him on the way.
"It's alright, I haven't rested yet either."
Since he was being given something good, Xiao Yan humbly cupped his hands in greeting.
At this moment, Xiao Tian, whom they were talking about, was enjoying the passionate sparring between the two women.
After their previous private conversation and the mutual destruction of trucks, Ya Fei and her companion finally began a battle of wits.
The three fought fiercely, creating chaos and leaving fragments of strange costumes scattered everywhere.
"Don't worry about him, Xiao Tian sleeve," Hai Bo Dong said with a smile when he saw Fa Ma deep in thought.
If Xiao Tian knew that Fa Ma was looking for him, he wouldn't care. Fa Ma was only looking for a Prescription. He had Pill Book on pills and didn't lack Prescription. He wasn't suitable to refine the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill himself, so he might as well give it to Xiao Yan and let Xiao Yan refine it for him.
I've helped him so much; it's time for him to show his worth.
"In that case, let's leave it at that."
Fa Ma knew that he and Xiao Tian were very familiar with each other, so he could only believe his words for the time being.
"Pharaoh, what is this?" Xiao Yan looked at Fa Ma and Hai Bo Dong with a puzzled expression.
"You guys chat, there's nothing for me, I'll head back now." Hai Bo Dong directly used his Dou Qi Wings to leave the Fa Ma Office on the top floor of the Alchemist Guild.
"Sit down and talk."
Xiao Yan found a chair and sat down.
"I've called you here today because of the Alchemist Convention championship."
Fa Ma stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.
Fa Ma then explained to Xiao Yan the existence of Yan Li, as well as his identity and strength.
"Tomorrow's competition is free play; bring your own Prescription, herbs, and everything else."
Fa Ma unleashed another massive thunderbolt.
"Depend on"
Xiao Yan's mouth dropped open. This was completely unexpected. He figured most people would be furious when the rules were announced tomorrow, as it all depended on their background, collection strength, and luck.
For ordinary, self- Alchemist, it's extremely difficult to break through these rules without a truly extraordinary stroke of luck.
Without an exceptionally extraordinary stroke of luck, how could you possibly overturn the centuries-long efforts of a deeply entrenched family?
After a brief conversation, Fa Ma gave Xiao Yan a Black Scroll containing the Prescription the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill.
This Prescription is far more valuable than many Fifth-Grade Prescription.
Finally, under Fa Ma's watchful gaze, Xiao Yan had his last chance to read the scroll.
After reading the three sets of medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan took his leave of Fa Ma.
In the Free and Unfettered World, Xiao Tian looked at the two women who had fallen into a deep sleep, then got up and went to the table.
"Xiao Yan must have obtained the Prescription by now."
Xiao Tian took out the Sound Transmission Stone, saw the message inside, and roughly guessed everything.
"The Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill is a good thing, but I've already prepared the pills for tomorrow."
"It should be no problem to surpass the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill."
A confident smile appeared on Xiao Tian's lips.
I had prepared the medicinal materials for the pills I would be refining for this conference long ago.
If it were just me going, I might not have brought this out.
It was only because Xiao Yan demonstrated the ability to control two types of flames during today's assessment that he was willing to take it out.
I don't possess two kinds of flames.
Whether the Prescription is in Xiao Tian's hands or Xiao Yan's hands makes little difference; it still belongs to the Xiao Family.
While taking stock of his belongings, a drop of purple liquid appeared in his hand. This drop of liquid was the hidden substance inside the Purple Emperor Spirit Mushroom that Xiao Tian had bought from the Alchemist Guild's Taobao section.
This drop of liquid is called Purple Heart Liquid, one of the main ingredients in the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
"The medicinal herbs are still too difficult to find in the Jia Ma Empire."
A soft sigh echoed in the room.
