Yan Xixi

Standing behind him, Xiao Yu carefully observed the Old Luo. Since he almost refined Sixth Grade Pills back then, he must be no less skilled than Gu He in alchemy. Moreover, he realized that although the competition back then was a challenge against Gu He, it was also the Old Luo Luo's own attempt to become Sixth Grade Alchemist!

Unfortunately, not everyone can advance further in alchemy. Old Luo's failure directly led to his current difficulty in reaching the sixth rank.

"Shall we begin the competition?" the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Mulan Empire asked coldly from the other side.

Everyone nodded immediately, Fama said, "Your empire's alchemists can now enter the arena!"

The competition venue was hosted by the Jia Ma Empire and covered a vast area. However, there were no other spectators this time, only alchemists from the four great empires and some people from their respective factions. So it was much simpler, with only the competition venue and rest area!

Xiao Yu and the others followed behind President Fama and walked directly into the venue through a side path. Along the way, President Fama talked about the Alchemist Guild of the other three great empires!

"The old man who just spoke to me is called Luo Jingyao. He is Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemist. The person he brought to the Alchemist Tournament this time should be his prized disciple, Luo Tian, who is also his grandson!" Fama suddenly said.

Yao Yue stood to the side and looked at Fama, asking, "Teacher, what rank is this Luo Tian an alchemist?"

Fama glanced at Yao Yue and said, "Fifth Rank. The other young alchemists from the three great empires who came to participate in the Alchemist Tournament this time are all newly entered Fifth-grade Alchemist. Yao Yue, how much you want to learn at this conference depends on yourself. After this Alchemist Tournament ends, you can go to the Black Corner Region with Xiao Yu!"

Xiao Yu, who was following behind, chuckled and said, "I President Fama, this is where you're wrong. You tricked me into coming here, and now you're going to dump Princess Yue'er on me? What's going on here?"

Seeing Xiao Yu's smiling face, Fama and said, "I know your alchemy skills very well. Even now, you're on par with, or even stronger than, the Pill King Gu He. Actually, Yao Yue is about to become Fifth-grade Alchemist. Perhaps after this competition, she will become Fifth-grade Alchemist. At that time, I will have nothing left to teach her!"

"If you don't accept her, either she can learn alchemy on her own, or you can find a stronger teacher. But I don't think anyone is more suitable than you!" Fama's words made Xiao Yu feel quite pleased.

However, Xiao Yu hadn't forgotten the main point. He looked at Fama and said, "President Fama Princess Yue'er with me, but as you know, the Underworld has only just been established. If we take Princess Yue'er there like this, I'm afraid there won't be many medicinal herbs for her to refine medicine, so..."

Before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, Fama understood his meaning and smiled helplessly, "You're quite quick-witted. Alright, this time, considering you taught Yao Yue alchemy, I can let you take some herbs from the Alchemy Association's Medicine Stockpile!"

"Ah, that's more like it. President Fama truly magnanimous!" Xiao Yu immediately revealed a smile, but in Yao Yue's eyes, that smile looked as cunning as a fox!

President Fama led them into a huge lounge. The alchemists Fama brought this time were considered to be among the more promising in the Alchemist Guild, but in terms of alchemist level alone, they were still far inferior to the other three major guilds. However, President Fama wasn't worried at all, after all, there was a prodigy like Xiao Yu to keep things in order, so what was there to fear?

After glancing at everyone, Fama continued, "Besides the alchemist from the Luoyan Empire that I just mentioned, there's also the Old Woman Zhang from the Chuyun Empire. Not only is her alchemy skill formidable, but her ability to concoct Poison Pill is unparalleled. She has a prized disciple named Yan Xixi, who is said to have inherited her Old Woman Zhang's true skills. You should all be careful; if she concocts Poison Pill, it could have a significant impact on you."

"By the way, this alchemy competition will only have two rounds. In the first round, the four major Alchemist Guild will prepare the medicinal materials, and you will refine them. The second round will be randomly selected, so you need to be prepared. In this Alchemist Tournament, there will be no alchemist whose level is lower than the third grade. You all need to be clear about this!" Fama reminded him.

"The president of the Alchemist Guild of the Mulan Empire is named Mu Lanfa. He is an unpredictable person. His alchemy skills are no less than Luo Jingyao's, but he takes an unorthodox approach. This time, his two favorite disciples, Zhao Feiyun and Zhao Feilong, are attending the Alchemist Tournament. These are the things you need to pay attention to. Yao Yue, are you ready?" Fama asked Yao Yue.

Actually, the one under the most pressure this time should be Yao Yue, but it's not too bad, after all, Xiao Yu is there to back up the Jia Ma Empire. Yao Yue nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"

In the other three rooms, the same thing was happening. Standing before the Old Woman Zhang from the Chuyun Empire was a figure in blue. She didn't look very big, and from the front, she had a delicate baby face with fair skin and bright, piercing green eyes. Her hands were behind her back, and she looked harmless. However, anyone who had witnessed this little girl's methods would shudder at the sight of her. No wonder, she was too ruthless!

Yan Xixi looked at her Old Woman Zhang, who had grabbed her arm, and said, "Teacher, don't worry. This time, I promise I'll show them the power of our Chuyun Empire, and I'll also prove to us Poison Master that we Poison Master are just as powerful!"

A hint of tenderness appeared on the Old Woman Zhang's usually stern face as she said, "This time, our Alchemist Guild is here on a mission. The Imperial Family has already contacted me once. You must win first place at the Alchemist Tournament. That way, when we return, I can rightfully hand over the position of Alchemist Tournament to you!"

Yan Xixi's face changed immediately upon hearing her Old Woman Zhang's words, and she said pitifully, "No, I don't want to be the president of the Alchemist Guild! Teacher, isn't it better for you to be in charge of the Alchemist Guild!"

Unfortunately, her Old Woman Zhang wasn't buying it. She coldly replied, "You'll have to take this chairmanship whether you want to or not, understand?"

Yan Xixi's face showed a hint of bitterness, while her Old Woman Zhang said again, "You've been getting too close to the Poison Sect lately. The Imperial Family is not happy with what the Poison Sect is doing within the empire. You know what you should do, right?"

Yan Xixi's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, and she stammered, "What? I, I, I've only been getting closer to Sister Xiao Yi Xian, not to the Poison Sect!"

"Xiao Yi Xian is the sect leader of the Poison Sect, don't you know that?" the Old Woman Zhang shouted sternly.
