Convention Rewards, Medusa's Plea

"Are you here to participate in the Alchemist Convention?"

Upon hearing Otto's words, Fu Ke Lan's eyes lit up.

"What are the benefits of this Alchemist Convention? If it's just an empty title, participating is a waste of time and effort."

Xiao Tian adjusted himself into a comfortable position on the chair and asked.

"There are benefits, of course. First, it attracts influence, and then it brings fame and prestige."

"That's how Gu He developed back then."

Otto would launch into a long, detailed explanation of the benefits of participating.

"Joining a faction? I haven't considered that. I don't need empty titles either; they're useless to me. Are there any tangible benefits?"

Xiao Tian rubbed his fingers listlessly, giving a frantic hint.

"Why would I go up there if there's no real benefit? It would be a waste of my time and the effort those people put in, plus all those procedures. I hate trouble."

Xiao Tian shrugged and said calmly.

"You're really something," Otto and Fu Ke Lan shook their heads with wry smiles. Otto said, "The champion of each Alchemist Convention will become an honorary Elder of the Alchemist Guild, enjoying the same benefits and rights as the Founding Elder. Moreover, you will have priority in selecting medicinal herbs from each branch."

Xiao Tian thought about it, but felt that this thing wouldn't be very useful. By the time he left the Jia Ma Empire, he didn't know when he would be able to return.

Seeing a hint of interest in Xiao Yan's eyes, while Xiao Tian remained uninterested, Master Otto decided to stop beating around the bush and reveal his trump card directly.

"The prize for this year's champion is Prescription for a Sixth Grade Pill."

"What kind of elixir?"

Xiao Tian sat up straight, unsure if it was the same reward as before.

"Sixth Grade Pill, the Soul Fusion Pill."

"This Sixth Grade Pill is a bit unorthodox; it's mainly for those with Soul Body. It's Sixth Rank Spirit Fusion Pill, a pill that allows the soul and body to fuse..."

Upon hearing that Xiao Yan Soul Body, he raised his head.

"Xiao Tian, I desperately need this Prescription. Please get it for me, and I'll trade with you for it."

Queen Medusa's voice reached Xiao Tian's ears directly, carrying a barely audible plea.

"I need to think about that; we'll discuss the specifics later."

Knowing Queen Medusa's urgency, Xiao Tian decided to stall for time. A slight smirk played on his lips as he thought to himself, "The fish has taken the bait."

Queen Medusa fell silent upon hearing this.

She wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was quite clever. She knew that if she wanted to get what she wanted, she would probably have to give Xiao Tian a lot of benefits.

"This reward is great, I'll participate."

Xiao Tian pondered for a moment before speaking.

To control Queen Medusa, we must obtain this Prescription; it's our best bargaining chip.

"And what about young friend Xiao Yan?"

Upon hearing that Xiao Tian was going to participate, Otto beamed with joy and turned to look at Xiao Yan.

"Then I'll participate too."

Xiao Yan was already interested in participating in this kind of competition, and since Xiao Tian was also participating, there was no reason for him not to participate as well. He also wanted to compete with Xiao Tian.

They also wanted to know who was stronger in alchemy, themselves or Xiao Tian.

"However, I have one condition: I must participate using the name Yan Xiao and the appearance I wore in my previous disguise."

Xiao Yan touched his chin and said.

"May I ask what the reason is?" Otto frowned upon hearing this, looking at Xiao Yan with concern.

Xiao Yan shook his head, not answering Master Otto's question, and quietly looked at him.

"Changing your name is easy; the conference wasn't too strict about it, only focusing on age."

After a moment's thought, Otto and Fu Ke Lan agreed to Xiao Yan's conditions.

The two had witnessed Xiao Yan's alchemy skills firsthand. During the second-grade assessment, his smooth and effortless operation was something most Third Grade Alchemist couldn't achieve.

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Fu Ke Lan and Master Otto."

Xiao Yan bowed to the two of them to express his gratitude.

"And you, Xiao Tian, are you using your real name and appearance?"

Master Otto waved his hand, indicating that no further words were needed.

"Yes, just register with my original information. We'll trouble the two masters to handle our registration procedures."

When does the conference begin?

Xiao Tian nodded slightly and asked with a smile.

"I'll be here for nine days. You can come to me with any questions you have. This old man still has some connections in the Gama Holy City."

"I will process all your registrations, and I will contact you if there are any changes."

"Where are you staying now? If you don't have a place to stay, you can come and stay here?"

Master Otto looked at the two of them with concern in his eyes.

"No need, we're currently staying at the Mittel Auction House. You can contact us there if you have any news."

Xiao Tian smiled and shook his head to indicate that he already had a place to stay.

After confirming that both of them would participate, Master Otto stroked his beard and laughed heartily, his face beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Then thank you both very much, masters."

Xiao Tian stood up, bowed to the two of them, put on the Ice Silkworm Mask, and led Xiao Yan, who had taken the pill, towards the door.

Watching the two figures depart, the smiles on the two masters' faces grew increasingly unrestrained, impossible to contain.

"With these two prodigies participating, I'm already thinking about how I can ask the headquarters for an exorbitant amount of funding next year, and even apply for a lot of rare medicinal herbs, hehe!"

The two old men, whose combined age was over a hundred, stared at each other with sinister smiles.

Xue Mei and Lin Fei, standing to the side, trembled all over from the two men's sinister laughter.

"Those two old guys are still trying to rip off the entire club, just like always."

Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan returned to the Mittel Auction House and then parted ways temporarily, each returning to their own residence.

During this time, Xiao Tian directly threw a Mystic Spirit Pill to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan also gave Xiao Tian a lot of his own rare medicinal herbs.

Back in his room, Xiao Tian had just sat down when the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python climbed off his hand.

After taking a closer look, I realized it was a little guy, not Queen Medusa. With a wave of my hand, I took out the Amethyst Origin and fed it to the little guy. The little guy is sleeping more and more frequently now. He eats after he's had enough to sleep, and sleeps after he's had enough to eat.

The little creature, having eaten its fill, didn't burrow back into its sleeve to sleep as before. Instead, it stood still, its pale purple Snake Eyes constantly shifting.

The Seven-Colored Little Snake's body suddenly emitted a burst of light, and after the light dissipated, a beautiful woman dressed in a red brocade robe appeared in Xiao Tian's arms.

Beneath the hem of the skirt was a purple, alluring snake tail.

"Fei Yan, you always appear in my arms. I suspect you're deliberately taking advantage of me."

Xiao Tian naturally and gently put his arm around the beautiful body that appeared, carefully examining Queen Medusa, and said teasingly.

"Do you want me? If you give me the formula for the Spirit Fusion Pill Prescription, I might consider giving you a chance."

Queen Medusa leaned close to Xiao Tian Xiao Tian's ear, her hand gently tracing his chest, and spoke in a voice filled with irresistible allure.
