Alchemist Convention Begins
The moment blood splattered, just as it was about to splash onto Xiao Yan, Black Flame emerged, instantly turning all the blood into nothingness.
"Aaaah!!"
In the silent hall where even a pin drop could be heard, only Mu Zhan's miserable screams echoed.
Xiao Yan never let off those who attacked him. Moreover, he was just quietly sitting, chatting, and drinking, not proactively provoking anyone, yet Mu Zhan ran over to attack him.
If it weren't for the crowd here, Mu Zhan's price wouldn't have been just a hand.
"You're not even as good as Nalan Yanran; you have no strength and no backbone, only knowing how to howl," Xiao Yan said indifferently.
Actually, after arriving in Gama Holy City, Xiao Yan had vaguely sensed that, apart from himself, Nalan Yanran seemed to be the strongest of the younger generation in the Gama Empire, unmatched by anyone.
No wonder she was favored by Yun Yun and so arrogantly came to break off the engagement.
Her confidence comes from her strength.
It's just that she happened to encounter a monster like Xiao Yan.
Hearing Xiao Yan use her as a unit of measurement, Nalan Yanran was furious. What do you mean 'not even as good as'?? Why does this person always have barbs in his words! Picking up a napkin from the table, she wiped the blood from her hands and smiled at Ya Fei, "It seems today's banquet is almost over; I won't disturb Sister Ya Fei's elegance."
Xiao Yan slowly walked to Nalan Jie, saying, "Grandpa Nalan, I'll go back to cultivate first; I won't disturb you all."
"Why not sit a little longer? It's just a small matter," Nalan Jie said.
Xiao Yan slowly shook his head; he only came out to get some fresh air and eat something. Now that Xiao Yan was only a little bit away from Fifth Grade, his mind was entirely focused on Pill Refining.
And Mu Zhan was indeed a small matter; with the Mu Family's resources, finding a pill to regenerate a severed limb wouldn't be difficult.
Nalan Jie stared directly at Mu Zhan, saying in a deep voice, "Mu Zhan, I'll make it clear to you here; the Xiao Clan has always been an ally of my Nalan Family, and I don't want any harm to come to Xiao Yan. Your Mu Family may have many madmen, but my Nalan Family is not to be trifled with!"
Mittel Tengshan, not far away, also coldly snorted, "Give up on Ya Fei; our Mittel Family doesn't welcome a madman like you."
Mu Zhan was dumbfounded; he was the one who got beaten up!!
Seeing two heavyweight figures protecting Xiao Yan, Liu Ling frowned slightly because he didn't want Xiao Yan to be so highly regarded.
Nearby, the Little Princess furrowed her brow, her eyes passing through the crowd to look at Xiao Yan, murmuring softly, "Even Clan Head Mittel values this Xiao Yan so much? Willing to openly challenge the Mu Family!"
"Let me see you out," Ya Fei said, walking to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan nodded, following Ya Fei out of the hall. As for what the Mu Family would do, he didn't care at all; he hadn't given Yunlan Sect and Medusa any face, let alone the mere Mu Family.
"Sorry, it's all because of me," Ya Fei said softly after leaving the hall, apologizing.
"It's nothing; I don't know how many times I've encountered beauties causing trouble since I was a kid," Xiao Yan said with a wry smile, recalling his days in Wutan City.
He didn't know if it was because the Xiao Clan's genes were good, often producing handsome men and beautiful women; beauties like Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu were top-notch even in the Gama Empire.
As the Xiao Family's genius youth, Xiao Yan often encountered such unreasonable challenges when he was young.
The two had just left the hall when they suddenly sensed something; Xiao Yan turned his head, looking towards the northwest direction of the Imperial City. Two Dou Huang-level auras suddenly soared into the sky.
"Hmm? A Dou Huang's battle?" Xiao Yan said softly.
"A Dou Huang powerhouse!!?" Ya Fei was shocked, and then Nalan Jie and Mittel Tengshan in the hall spread their wings and flew out. Even Nalan Yanran used her movement technique to rush towards the northwest, wanting to see who was fighting.
"Aren't you going to watch?" Ya Fei asked, seeing Xiao Yan unmoved.
Xiao Yan shrugged, "What's so interesting about a Dou Huang's battle? Besides, it's just Hai Bo Dong and Jia Xing Tian of the Gama Empire's royal family. Neither of them is fully serious; it'll probably be over after a few moves."
"I might as well go back and continue Pill Refining, to prepare for tomorrow's matters."
Xiao Yan was too lazy to pay attention to these things, directly returning to his room. Although his strength far exceeded Liu Ling and others, Xiao Yan was never one to be careless.
Even if this Alchemist Convention wasn't challenging for him, Xiao Yan would still prepare well.
The next day, the sky was blue, without a cloud in sight, the sunlight warm but not scorching, giving people a refreshing feeling.
From the moment the first ray of sunlight descended on the earth, shining on this historic city, the quiet streets began to see groups of Alchemists in Alchemist Robes.
Today, these high-status Alchemists were like ants leaving their nests, heading to the Royal Plaza in the center of Gama Holy City, which was the venue for the Alchemist Convention competition!
"This time, the first place is undoubtedly yours," Hai Lao said with a smile in Xiao Yan's room.
Hai Lao had come to find Xiao Yan early in the morning; he would act as Xiao Yan's guard, protecting him and preventing anyone from attacking him.
Moreover, because of what happened last night, Hai Lao was also invited by the Gama Empire royal family to attend the Alchemist Convention as a guest.
Xiao Yan stretched and said, "That Sixth Grade Pill Formula, I've already considered it mine."
"Hahaha, you kid really doesn't know what humility is."
"Humility I don't know, I only know what strength is."
Sitting in the carriage carefully prepared by the Nalan Family, Xiao Yan looked through the window and saw people standing on both sides of the road, slender and graceful young girls giggling and teasing.
There were even many women throwing notes at the window, filled with all kinds of suggestive words.
"This is crazy." Xiao Yan burned all the notes with a fire and closed the window.
"The Alchemists who can participate in the elimination round are not weak, so naturally they are attractive." Hai Bo Dong was not surprised. When he was a Dou Ling, he had already seen the madness of women.
He had quite the reputation when he was young.
Soon, Xiao Yan's carriage entered the square. Xiao Yan got out of the car and looked around the entire square. It didn't look like a square, but more like a football stadium. The surroundings were all stands, so one could imagine that the stands would be packed later.
As the first place in the internal test, Xiao Yan also had a seat in the VIP section.
After entering the VIP section, Hai Bo Dong walked behind the white-haired old man sitting in the middle and said, "You old man is still not dead?"
The Alchemist executives sitting next to him were shocked when they heard Hai Bo Dong say this, because the person Hai Bo Dong was talking about was the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma! A Fifth Grade peak Alchemist, only one step away from Sixth Grade, his reputation in the hearts of Alchemists even surpassed Gu He! Fa Ma was not angry when he heard Hai Bo Dong's words, and said leisurely, "Ice Old Man, seeing you come back is also a happy event."
Hai Bo Dong smiled wryly and shook his head, "It was also a fluke, I experienced some things, but fortunately, I came back alive. That woman... is really terrifying."
"Hehehe, it's good to be alive, at least an old man like me won't be too lonely."
Hai Bo Dong pulled Xiao Yan over and said, "Let me introduce you, Xiao Yan, the champion of this competition."
Xiao Yan glared at Hai Bo Dong, who introduces people like that!
"President Fa Ma, hello, I'm Xiao Yan, a participant in this competition," Xiao Yan said politely.
Fa Ma glanced at Xiao Yan with his cloudy old eyes and smiled, "I know, the first place in the internal test. Being able to extract such a pure medicinal substance in one go, this is not something that can be done just by having a Strange Flame, you are very good."
