Chapter 136 One More Look and I'll Explode

"Yuan'er, Yan'er!"

Although it was dark, Xiao Zhan recognized the two figures jumping down from the city gate at a glance. He immediately jumped down from his galloping horse with excitement on his face. With his fighting spirit surging, he appeared in front of the three people in a leap.

Then, a somewhat satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he praised Xiao Yuan without leaving any trace, saying, "Ya Fei is here too!"

"Haha, Yafei has met Uncle Xiao!"

Hearing this, Ya Fei bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dad!"

Xiao Yuan took a step forward and asked with concern.

"I'm just hurrying on my way. Seeing that you two are doing well now, I'm so happy that I don't have time to feel tired!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile.

His two sons went out to practice hard, so naturally, as a father, he also did not fall behind in his practice. Now he has reached the strength of an eight-star Grand Master. If it were not for the limited resources in Wutan City, he would probably have reached the peak level of a Grand Master.

An eight-star great fighting master is enough to be considered the backbone of the three major families in the imperial capital.

With such strength, he still rode a horse to travel. Although he looked exhausted, it was actually not that tiring.

"Before, my third brother kept it a secret from me and didn't tell me that it was you, my father, who came. But after thinking about it, I guessed it. My third brother said a few days ago that he would invite my father to discuss the engagement with the Mittel family. At this time, the only person who can allow the three of us to welcome him at the same time is you!"

Xiao Yan also said with a smile.

"The Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Master have become much stronger!"

Soon after, a group of people from the Xiao family arrived, led by the second elder of the family.

As soon as he landed, he took a look at the strength of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan. He found that he could no longer see through Xiao Yuan's strength. Even Xiao Yan's aura was quite strong. In the family, he was considered a top master!
"The Second Elder is still strong despite his old age!"

Xiao Yuan also said with a smile.

He could tell at a glance that the second elder's fighting spirit level should be slightly higher than his own.

When he left, the second elder was only a three-star Grand Master, but as he was old and his potential was limited, it was normal for him to advance more slowly.

"I can't compare with you young people!"

Hearing this, the second elder shook his head regretfully, glanced at Ya Fei out of the corner of his eye, and felt helpless.

Although they are both charming, his granddaughter Xiao Mei is obviously not as good as the grown-up Ya Fei who exudes mature and charming charm.

I am so defeated!

Who could have imagined that the two losers three years ago would now be able to cultivate their fighting spirit and advance at such a terrifying speed?
Xiao Zhan gave birth to two good sons!
"Don't just stand here, go back and talk!"

Xiao Yuan smiled, and immediately took the lead and walked towards the city.

Mu Zhan was not here, but it seemed that he had given special instructions, so the soldiers guarding the city gate did not check them.

A group of people walked on the broad and bustling streets of the imperial capital, with a look of emotion in their eyes.

This time, Xiao Zhan brought along some of the elders of the Xiao family. They had all experienced moving out of the imperial capital, and now that they were back home, they couldn't help but sigh:

"I haven't been to the capital for many years. It's developing so fast here that I almost don't recognize it anymore."

"Yeah, I never thought that there would be a day when I could return to the imperial capital, and that day would come so soon!"

When everyone arrived at the gate of the Xiao Mansion, it was almost midnight.

Without too much greetings or nonsense, Xiao Yuan handed over the matters related to the mansion to the elders of the family, then left Yao Lao to Xiao Yan, and then took Ya Fei directly to bed.

Xiao Yan still has to participate in the finals tomorrow, and he had originally planned to practice and recover his energy as soon as he came back, but the people sent by Fa Ma called him away overnight.

When Xiao Yan returned to the Xiao Mansion, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

But in order to study the prescription, Xiao Yan did not sleep all night. Under the guidance of Yao Lao, he studied the prescription of the Three-Striped Green Spirit Pill as much as possible.

Of course, understanding is one thing, and actually doing it is another.

The next day, when Xiao Yuan, feeling refreshed, pulled Ya Fei out of the room, what he saw was Xiao Yan, who had been studying the prescription all night with wisdom gleaming in his eyes.

With an alchemy master like Yao Lao guiding him, Xiao Yan gained considerable confidence in refining the Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill.

Today, the Royal Square is packed with people. After people in the audience spread the news, more and more people have been attracted by the thrilling alchemy competition. Although it is just dawn, everywhere you look are the audience of today's Alchemist Conference.

As time passed, a ray of morning light broke through the clouds and shone into the huge city. When the sun rose, the tightly closed Royal Square slowly opened its doors. Suddenly, the dark crowd outside rushed in like a tide.

When Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong arrived outside the square, they were both stunned when they saw the long queue of people at the entrance. They then shook their heads helplessly. They didn't expect that today's audience would be even crazier than yesterday.

Even Xiao Yuan and others had to go through a special passage to reach the VIP seats.

As the father of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan is naturally qualified to come to the front row of the VIP seats, and he will also witness the entire game today.

The Second Elder and others also entered the VIP area with the help of the Mittel family, but their positions were definitely not as good as Xiao Yuan and others.

Today, Yao Lao still followed Xiao Yuan, and asked Xiao Yuan for a large ball of strange fire.

There is still some time before the game starts.

Xiao Yan was too lazy to argue with the contestants, so he just followed them to the VIP seats.

To refine the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, three kinds of flames are required, but Xiao Yan now only has one kind of flame. As for the remaining two, he still needs to ask Yao Lao to do some processing on them.

But it is foreseeable that the three-patterned green spirit pill refined with three kinds of strange fire will have a better effect, but the difficulty of refining will also increase accordingly.

However, Xiao Yan has some confidence about this.

Although two kinds of strange fire are needed to refine the elixir, whether it is Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Fire or Xiao Yan's Yin and Yang Dual Flames, Xiao Yan is actually not that repulsive to them.

Perhaps this was due to the merit of the Burning Battle Qi, or perhaps it was because Xiao Yan himself had a high affinity for strange fire. In short, with the three medicinal materials prepared by the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan was fully confident that he could successfully refine them and win the championship of this conference. He must win this championship!
The waiting time was not long. Seeing that the assessment was about to begin, Xiao Yuan finally flipped his palm, and a cold white ring and a warm black and white ring appeared in his palm.

After handing it to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yuan also smiled and encouraged: "Come on, I believe in you!" "Yan'er, come on!"

Xiao Zhan also encouraged with a smile.

"Come on, brother Xiao Yan!"

Ya Fei also smiled and encouraged.

"Come on, just do your best!"

Yao Lao's voice also echoed in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Well, I'm going!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded heavily, then turned over and landed on the field.

Such an eye-catching appearance immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Hey, look at that. That's the best student yesterday. He's also very young."

"I heard his name is Xiao Yan, right? Judging from his appearance, he is probably less than 20 years old? How enviable."

"In this assessment, it seems that only he can compete with the gray-robed youth from the Izumo Empire. If he hadn't taken action yesterday, the best result would probably have gone to the person from the Izumo Empire."

"Today is the most crucial competition. I hope he can defeat that guy from the Izumo Empire. Otherwise, the Alchemist Guild will be embarrassed this time."

"yes."

"Xiao Yan, there should be no problem, right?"

Hai Bodong came forward and said while touching his chin.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hai, the champion will definitely be Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yuan spoke with a smile on his face, but in a firm tone.

After Fa Ma on the side announced the rules, the assessment officially began.

In this third round of assessment, the guild will no longer provide assistance to any contestant. On the premise that they need to prepare their own prescriptions and medicinal materials, contestants must successfully refine a medicine pill within their capabilities. The final winner will naturally be determined by the grade and practical value of the pill they refine.

Such an unexpected test question caught many people off guard.

Since he was watching from the stands, Xiao Yuan didn't feel that nervous.

As an alchemist, if he does not have some medicinal herbs and prescriptions in his ring, it is hard to say that he is a qualified alchemist.

This final level not only tests one's individual alchemy skills, but also the contestants' foundation, adaptability and other abilities.

So for a moment, no one in the field started to refine the elixir immediately, after a long period of thinking and silence.

The little princess and Liu Ling, who had rich background, were the first to break the deadlock.

The two people's medicine cauldrons, one blue and one red, are both fifth-level medicine cauldrons. In comparison, the dark red medicine cauldron used by Xiao Yan is only second-level, which is undoubtedly much more shabby.

There was no other way. He did have a good cauldron, so it would be fine if Yao Lao lent him his Black Magic Cauldron. But once the Black Magic Cauldron was out, the Alchemist Conference would probably not be held. When Dan Wang Gu He heard about it, he would have to come over to try to get the Black Magic Cauldron.

Seeing this scene, a strange look appeared on Xiao Yuan's face.

He now has some understanding of alchemy. Xiao Yan's second-level medicine cauldron cannot withstand the burning of three kinds of strange fire in turn!
I don’t know whether Fa Ma has given him a new one.

However, Yao Lao did say that although the medicine cauldron is of great help in refining pills, it is only an external aid. The most important thing for a pharmacist is his own strength. A true master can turn the palm of his hand into a cauldron and refine pills as he pleases without any restrictions.

However, when Xiao Yan took out the dark red medicine cauldron, many people looked surprised.

After all, everyone thought that the contestants would take out the good stuff at the end, but no one expected that until the end, Xiao Yan would still take out such shabby stuff.

Next, the little princess, Liu Ling and the man in gray robe all summoned out their most powerful flames, one blue, one brown and one black, which attracted a lot of attention.

However, compared to the flames, Xiao Yan had no chance of losing at all.

"As expected, they all hold back."

Looking at the flames of different colors, Xiao Yan suddenly chuckled, slowly raised his palm, flicked his fingers, and the elegant green flame suddenly flashed up. In an instant, the temperature on the square suddenly increased. At this time, the various flames in the hands of the little princess and others, which were originally cheering and jumping, became much weaker.
Strange fire appears, all fires surrender!

Looking at the scene below, Xiao Yuan also smiled. In a sense, Xiao Yan was already on the road to becoming the Fire Emperor.

Xiao Yuan is also looking forward to his own future.

As of now, in the future, if I can practice the skills in my mind to the extreme, the fighting spirit in my body will be mainly composed of five basic attributes, and can be changed into fighting spirit of any attribute at will.

If Xiao Yan is the emperor of fire, then he, Xiao Yuan, is the emperor of fighting spirit!

While his thoughts were running through his mind, the contestants below had already begun refining pills.

Refining medicinal materials is a very time-consuming task. Although Xiao Zhan does not know how to refine medicine, he can see that his youngest son is the fastest, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Xiao Yan's refining went smoothly. With Yao Lao's guidance last night, although it was his first time refining, his movements were not that clumsy. Instead, he felt that he was getting more and more proficient at it the more he refined.

When Xiao Yan finished refining the medicinal materials and started to fuse the pills, many people followed suit and began to fuse the pills. The sounds of failed pill fusing began to emerge from time to time.

Although he had enough confidence in Xiao Yan, at this moment, Xiao Yuan's mind was also lifted up. Nothing is absolute. What if Xiao Yan is unlucky today and the furnace explodes prematurely? What should he do?
Time passed quickly. Half an hour after Xiao Yan began to melt the elixir, Xiao Yuan's expression froze and he looked in the direction of Xiao Yan. There, a faint elixir fragrance was slowly emanating from the dark red cauldron.

"It seems to be going smoothly. The pill will be formed so soon."

Fa Ma, who was not far away, had the same judgment.

However, an ordinary One-Line Green Spirit Pill is not enough to win the championship of the Alchemist Conference.

After a brief thought, Xiao Yan decided to use the Strange Fire Ring to refine the second pattern!

However, before he could transform the flame, a slight "click" sound made his face suddenly darken. Twisting his neck, Xiao Yan's gaze stayed on the dark red cauldron body, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

I saw a tiny crack quietly spreading out on the smooth body of the tripod!
