Just when Yao Yan was preparing to refine Green Lotus Core Flame, Fifth Alchemist Convention hosted by the Jia Ma Empire Holy Capital entered the final day.

Among Royal Plaza.

Alchemists who were rarely seen in the past are now gathered here like an army, waiting for the birth of a champion. In addition, there are many powerful people who are waiting and watching, trying to select suitable talents to recruit or invest.

For all forces, the Alchemist Conference is a grand talent recruitment conference, and the talent and strength of the other party can be judged by their performance.

Anyone who performs well will inevitably be sought after by all forces.

The alchemists who can enter the square today are all elites who have been strictly selected by the conference. At this moment, this group of people is sitting cross-legged and adjusting their condition. Most of the alchemists who can persist until the last round are strong and determined. No one wants to leave sadly because of a small mistake in this final round of assessment.

"Dong~"

A clear bell sounded throughout the square.

High Platform VIP seat location.

Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild Leader Fa Ma slowly stepped forward and looked down at the people below with indifferent eyes. As the noise around him gradually stopped, his old and gentle tone sounded in everyone's ears, "Everyone, today's assessment will be the last round of the conference, and the final winner will be the champion of this conference. So, for your efforts, go all out today!"

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the entire square instantly reached a climax, with deafening roars reaching into the sky.

In the center of the square, a man in a linen robe looked firmly at Yao Ding in front of him. He firmly believed that today was the day when he Gu He would become famous, and he would not let down his more than ten years of hard work!

As Fa Ma announced the rules of the final round of competition, the alchemists below lit up Yao Ding one after another and began to make elixirs.

Fa Ma slowly turned around and sat back in his seat. At this moment, sitting next to him were the emperor of the Jia Ma Empire, Jia Xingtian, and the emperor of Misty Cloud Mountain, Sect Master Yun Shan. Both of them were strong men of Peak of Nine Star Dou Huang, and their status was not much different. They were also old acquaintances with Fa Ma. The three of them could be considered old guys of the same generation.

Jia Xingtian stroked the goatee on his chin, his slightly shrewd eyes flickered, glanced at Fa Ma, and chuckled, "In a blink of an eye, the Alchemist Conference you founded has been held for the fifth time. Now this title has been heard by even the surrounding countries. I think the next one will be even more powerful!"

"Haha, thanks to the help of the Jia Ma Empire, Alchemist Guild alone would not have been able to reach this step."

Fa Ma said with a smile, his old appearance really made people worry that he would fall down directly.

Jia Xingtian let out a sigh, as if lamenting the passage of time. "I just provided convenience. The success of the event is your own fault, but time flies so fast. Another eight years have passed."

The Alchemist Conference is held every eight years, and the scale is getting bigger each time. I still vaguely remember the first Alchemist Conference. There were only a few dozen people, but now the number has reached nearly a thousand. Almost all the alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire participated, and even the alchemists from surrounding countries have heard about it.

"Time does fly by very quickly. Eight years has gone by in a blink of an eye... Unfortunately, our strength is still unable to make any progress. The barrier between Dou Emperor and Dou Zong is really disappointing."

Yun Shan, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he didn't look too old with his white hair and childish face, but there was a little helplessness in his tone. He had been stuck in Peak of Nine Star Dou Huang for too long. It was not a few years, but decades, or even nearly a hundred years.

Compared to Yun Shan, Jia Xingtian is not far behind. Both of them were famous geniuses when they were young. Even Jia Xingtian was able to establish Jia Ma Empire thanks to the help of the Misty Cloud Sect.

But time has passed, and the talented young man back then has now become two old guys who are about to enter the old age.

"Dou Zong..."

There is a trace of yearning in Jia Xingtian's eyes, but after all, it is just yearning. Dou Emperor and Dou Zong are completely different realms. The barrier between the two is enough to make countless geniuses despair. It is rumored that in the prosperous Central Plains, only Dou Zong can be considered a real strong person.

Fa Ma was silent. He had no idea about breaking through Dou Zong, because his Dou Qi Cultivation talent was not very strong. He was able to possess the strength of Dou Emperor level thanks to his Fifth-Rank Alchemist identity. As for further breakthroughs, given his age and talent, there is probably little hope in this life.

Rather than practicing Dou Qi, he hopes to cultivate a few more talented alchemists in his lifetime.

At this moment, Yun Shan suddenly said, "After this conference, I will go into seclusion. I will not come out until I break through Dou Zong. After that, I will hand over all the affairs of the Misty Cloud Sect to Yun Yun, and she will succeed me and become Misty Cloud Sect's new Sect Master."

This sentence directly made Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma stunned. They immediately looked at the cold woman beside Yun Shan. Her expression was calm and elegant, just like a person in a painting.

Yun Shan continued, "Yun Yun has good talent and a calm temperament. With her in charge of Misty Cloud Mountain, there will be no conflict with the Jia Ma Empire. In this way, I can rest assured, and so can I, an old guy."

After saying that, he looked at Jia Xingtian with a playful look. It was obvious that he knew exactly what Xiao Jiujiu was in Jia Xingtian's 'old friend', but he had never bothered to argue with him in the past.

Because Yun Shan has always been very clear that Dou Qi Continent respects strength, and all conspiracies and tricks are out of reach in the face of absolute strength. Once he really breaks through to Dou Zong, can Jia Ma Empire still stop the rise of the Misty Cloud Sect?

"I know what you mean. Don't worry, Jia Ma Empire and Misty Cloud Sect will remain in their current status."

Jia Xingtian was silent for a while and said slowly that he would not stop Yun Shan from retreating. As for whether the other party would break through to Dou Zong... He might have been a little worried before, but now that he was on the line of Yao Yan, the genius alchemist, the threat Misty Cloud Mountain brought to him no longer existed.

Yun Shan pondered for a while, then changed the topic. "Hai Bo Dong Where did that guy go?"

He planned to see Hai Bo Dong again before seclusion and say hello to him. As Yun Yun's teacher, how could he leave a mess for him? Yun Yun now only has the strength of Seven Star Dou Wang. He had to plan some things in advance.

Jia Xingtian's eyes moved slightly, and he was just about to change the topic when he suddenly felt a cold breath from a distance, like ice, and the other party was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Yun Shan and Fa Ma also felt this familiar atmosphere.

Fa Ma said with a smile, "Isn't this coming~"

The pair of squinted eyes also opened a little, staring at the figure speeding in the distance. As Dou Huang expert, his eyesight is naturally not bad.

"The movement is a bit loud~"

Jia Xingtian said helplessly, with a little more entanglement in his eyes. He felt that the arrival of Hai Bo Dong would leak the news about Yao Yan. If the old guy Yun Shan knew about the existence of Yao Yan, given his character, he would definitely not continue to shut himself up.

Soon, Hai Bo Dong turned into a stream of light and landed on High Platform. This sudden change naturally attracted the attention of many people. However, after they discovered the identity of Hai Bo Dong, they all withdrew their attention one after another.

The circle of Dou Emperor is obviously different from the one under Dou Emperor.

This can be seen from the VIP seats.

Yun Shan looked at the high-spirited Hai Bo Dong with a little surprise in his eyes. When he felt the other person's aura, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you made a breakthrough?!"

"Yeah."

Hai Bo Dong spoke concisely, and glanced at the few old guys present, with a smile on his lips. He originally thought that he would run away from house to house, but he never thought of such a coincidence, that several people would come to attend the Alchemist Conference, but this is good, it can save a lot of trouble.

Fa Ma Fa Ma also Sizing Up was wearing Hai Bo Dong, and even took a breath, opened his eyes slightly, and said in surprise, "You are still filled with a little medicinal fragrance, what kind of magic elixir is this hidden in you?"

As a senior Fifth-Rank Alchemist, his Soul Power is pretty good, and he has a keen sense of smell. He can clearly smell the scent of Hai Bo Dong. The mixed medicinal scent on the other party's body is quite strong, but Hai Bo Dong is not an alchemist, so where did the scent of medicine come from?

Hai Bo Dong did not play riddles, he leaned directly on High Platform and lazily chatted with several people, including Yao Yan's age, talent, life experience, strength, etc., all of which will be explained later. After finishing, he continued, "Now this young master wants to form a force, starting from the Snake-People Tribe and Jia Ma Empire. Snake-People Tribe has joined, and the rest is Jia Ma Empire."

Wait until he finishes speaking.

Fa Ma was the first to hold back and asked, "Rank 6 Alchemist who is less than seventeen years old? Hai Bo Dong, are you sure?!"

He had opened his eyes and was staring at Hai Bo Dong extremely seriously. He felt that he had received an indescribable stimulation, as if all the alchemy skills he had practiced in the past hundred years had been practiced on the dog. Even if he knew that there was a genius in the world, this genius could not be exaggerated to this extent.

"Don't believe it? Then you can ask Jia Xingtian."

Hai Bo Dong was very satisfied with Fa Ma's attitude. He smiled playfully and looked at the old guy Jia Xingtian.

Jia Xingtian was stared at by several people and fell into silence. After a moment, he slowly said, "It should be true. Although I have never seen him refining elixirs, the sudden improvement in Hai Bo Dong's strength and what happened to the Snake-People Tribe have already explained something."

Yun Shan twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking of Jia Xingtian, who had remained silent before, and he suspected that if he had been in seclusion this time, Jia Xingtian, the old guy, would have kept this matter a secret.

"The genius alchemist from Central Plains?"

Fa Ma said bitterly, looking at the raging alchemist conference below with his open eyes, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness. Compared to Yao Yan, these 'young alchemists' below who are almost thirty years old have become extremely ridiculous, and the strongest among them is only the fourth grade.

If they were informed of the deeds of Yao Yan, many people might simply give up on alchemy.

Hai Bo Dong shook his head, his eyes showing some melancholy and complexity, and whispered, "More than a genius, he is simply a monster. To be precise, he should be seventeen years old now. I saw with my own eyes that he changed from Da Dou Shi to Dou Ling. Before leaving, he had already cultivated to Seven Star Dou Spirit, it is estimated that in one or two months, after he has refined Heavenly Flames, he will be able to break through to Dou Wang, and this is only his Dou Qi level. The most exaggerated thing is his physical strength. With his physical body alone, he can resist the attack of Medusa Queen head-on without losing!"

People like Yao Yan are simply a blow to others, a blow in all aspects!

Yun Yun's thin lips were pursed very tightly at this moment, and his fists were clenched tightly. State of Mind, who used to be calm and calm in the face of everything, now became turbulent in Hai Bo Dong's words.

She was also rated as a genius by her teacher.

But now, compared with this Yao Yan, she feels so ridiculous.

The confidence and arrogance in the past suddenly became worthless. Now she is twenty-four years old and has only practiced to Seven Star Dou Wang. However, the Yao Yan in Hai Bo Dong's mouth has to step into the Dou Wang level at the age of seventeen, and the opponent is also a Rank 6 Alchemist. This gap is really disappointing.

Yun Shan was silent. He knew what this meant. If everything was true as Hai Bo Dong said, then the young man named Yao Yan had such a terrifying talent. Then joining the other party would undoubtedly be a great opportunity. Opportunity, but the premise of all this is that Yao Yan really has that kind of talent and background. This matter is related to the future of the entire Misty Cloud Sect. He will not just listen to a few words of Hai Bo Dong.

At least he has to wait until he meets Yao Yan in person before he can make a decision.

Jia Xingtian was also silent and did not agree directly. As the emperor of the Jia Ma Empire, how could he be willing to be 'little' for others, especially since Yao Yan has not yet had the strength to crush everything. Everything is just talent. The other party wants to absorb the entire Jia Ma Empire with just a few words. How can he be willing to do this?

Rather than joining the other party directly, maintaining good relations may also be a good choice.

"If he really has the talent you mentioned, I can let him take over the position of president of the Alchemist Guild."

Fa Ma is the purest one among the three. He stared at Hai Bo Dong with stern eyes and said in a deep voice, as long as Yao Yan proves his alchemy skills, it doesn't matter if the entire Alchemist Guild is given to Yao Yan. Alchemist Guild does not belong to anyone, and the alchemist will only serve people who are better than him in alchemy skills!

"It's okay, think about it slowly. When he comes out of quarantine, he should meet with you. At that time, he will offer you a price you can't refuse, such as Break-Sect Pill."

Hai Bo Dong looked at the three people and said softly.

Break-Sect Pill!

Just three words, but Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan took their breath away. For the strong Peak of Nine Star Dou Huang, Break-Sect Pill has a fatal attraction, especially for these old guys, it represents a breakthrough and Lifespan.

At this moment, several people were no longer interested in the alchemist conference below. Even Gu He, who performed extremely well among them, could not attract their attention at all.

Several people were attracted by one name!

Yao Yan!
