Chapter 132 Helpless Yaoye
When Xiao Yuan and his party arrived at the Royal Square where the alchemist conference was held, Xiao Yuan was also shocked by the huge square that could not be seen at a glance.
This Royal Square is the real "square". Compared with this, the central square of Wutan City is simply insignificant!
Scanning the spacious square, Xiao Yuan discovered that there were thousands of bluestone platforms neatly distributed among them. These stone platforms were well-proportioned but extremely neat. At a glance, they looked like an army of standing bluestones. generally.
However, many participating alchemists could already be seen in the square at this time. They were sitting quietly on the bluestone platform, waiting for the competition time to arrive.
As VIPs, Xiao Yuan and others naturally had exclusive seats. Following Haibodong and Miter Tengshan, Xiao Yuan and Yafei also came to the front row of the VIP area, where a row of people had already sat down, but What caught Xiao Yuan's attention the most was an old man wearing a purple alchemist's robe.
Looking at the five ripples of the Alchemy Cauldron badge on his chest, you can tell that he is a fifth-level alchemist.
Come to think of it, this person is Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire.
Even though he is only at level six, Fa Ma's reputation in the Jia Ma Empire's alchemy world is comparable to that of Dan King Furukawa. After all, after living for so many more years, Fa Ma has gained a lot of reputation. The various foundations he has accumulated cannot be matched by a junior like Furukawa.
"Hey, this old guy is not dead yet? Each of these old guys is more evil than the last!"
Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed softly.
Miter Tengshan on the side was not able to take up the topic when he heard this, so he had to remain silent.
"It's better to be alive than dead!"
Xiao Yuan smiled and took over the conversation.
"Old man Bing, aren't you dead too?"
As if hearing Hai Bodong's words, Fa Ma's voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as these words came out, many people around him turned their attention, obviously paying close attention to Hai Bodong's identity.
"Haha, you're not dead yet, how can I take the first step?"
Hearing this, Haibodong stepped aside, sat down next to Fa Ma, and said with a faint smile.
"I thought you were killed by Queen Medusa, but the battle between You and Jiaxingtian last night surprised me. I didn't expect you to survive from Queen Medusa's hands!"
Fa Ma shook his head when he heard this and couldn't help but sigh.
"Tch, I'm lucky to have survived. That woman is really scary."
Haibodong smacked his lips with lingering fear after hearing this, then felt an inexplicable chill, and immediately couldn't help but shudder.
"He's really a tough guy... But it's good that he's still alive. At least an old man like me won't be too lonely, haha..."
Hearing this, Fa Ma's face trembled like a dead tree, and he burst into laughter.
"By the way, I heard that you have accepted a disciple? It must be this little guy, right? This soul power is powerful enough. The average third-grade alchemist may not have such a powerful soul power."
Immediately afterwards, Fa Ma looked at Xiao Yuan and said with a smile.
"Tsk, your alchemist's perception is indeed sharp!"
Haibodong curled his lips when he heard this, but there was obviously a hint of pride in his eyes.
After all, he was very satisfied with Xiao Yuan, his disciple.
"I've met President Fa Ma!"
When Xiao Yuan saw that the topic was about him, he bowed in a neither humble nor condescending way and said with a smile.
Fa Ma nodded when he heard the words, and immediately looked at Xiao Yuan again. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his soul perception kept scanning Xiao Yuan's body, and a trace of doubt flashed deep in his eyes. .
In Xiao Yuan's soul power, he vaguely noticed a familiar aura, but it was too vague, so he didn't dare to confirm it.
But the owner of that aura was a medicine refining master he met back then. If it weren't for that senior, he probably wouldn't be able to reach his current heights.
However, it is still impossible to determine this just because of the current familiar feeling.
But...it's strange. How can this kid have such majestic power in his body?
After some detection, Fa Ma found no trace of his senior. He was also shocked to find that there was an extremely huge power hidden in Xiao Yuan's body. If it exploded, he would probably not be his opponent. !
What a mysterious little guy!
After sighing secretly in his heart, Fa Ma smiled and was about to say something, but suddenly he raised his eyebrows and looked at the passage to the side.
"Haha, Old Man Hai, you and your disciple came very early!"
An old laugh rang out. Although Xiao Yuan didn't need to look back, he knew that the owner of the voice was Jia Xingtian, but out of politeness, he still turned around and looked over.
I saw the white-haired old man wearing a simple linen robe walking towards him with a smile, but his beard was obviously much shorter than when he first met last night.
The people around Fa Ma couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Jiaxingtian's figure. You must know that although this alchemist conference is the provincial capital, Jiaxingtian is now considered the guardian of the royal family and generally does not come to the public. Today is What kind of wind is blowing to make this old monster appear?
However, Xiao Yuan's attention was not on the old man Jia Xingtian. He glanced over and saw the little princess he had met at the dinner party yesterday.
Today's little princess is wearing a light blue alchemist's robe, with brocade lotus embroidered on the loose sleeves. She looks more elegant out of thin air. However, after a preliminary understanding last night, Xiao Yuan knew that this On the surface, she looks like a quiet girl, but she is actually an eccentric person.
Next to her, there was a tall woman wearing a luxurious brocade robe. This woman's face was somewhat similar to that of the little princess, but she looked much colder. Under this coldness, There is also a bit of majestic temperament influenced by the royal family.
Compared with the slightly green little princess, this woman is undoubtedly more mature and attractive.
However, Xiao Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Jia Xingtian, and said with a smile:
“It’s not too late to get married!”
"Haha." Hearing this, Jia Xingtian smiled, then walked forward, looked at Hai Bodong and Fa Ma, and laughed, "I didn't expect that the three of us would have a chance to get together. What a fate.”
"It is indeed a fate..." Fa Ma chuckled and said: "Old monster, I didn't expect you to come to watch the conference today. I remember that you don't seem to like this kind of competition."
"After being cooped up for decades, it's okay to come out and take a look once in a while..." Jia Lao smiled, turned to look at Xiao Yuan, then pointed at the mature and charming woman behind him and said with a smile: "Little guy, Yue'er must be you. We already know each other, this is Yue'er's sister, Yao Ye, who is responsible for the security and order of this conference. She controls all the 50,000 troops inside and outside! "
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan cast a kind look at Yao Ye and smiled politely.
Those who are really prepared to cause trouble don't care about the so-called fifty thousand troops, but being able to deploy fifty thousand troops at will, and handle them in an orderly manner, it is obvious that Yao Ye's talent should not be underestimated.
However, Xiao Yuan held the hand of Concubine Ya next to him, feeling quite proud in his heart.
Compared with Sister Yafei, Yaoye is still inferior.
"Yaoye, this is the Xiao Yuan I told you. Old Man Hai's disciple is extremely powerful. Even I suffered some losses at the hands of this boy last night!"
Jia Xingtian pointed at Xiao Yuan and smiled at the cool woman behind him.
Hearing this, the little princess on the side also quietly stuck out her tongue. Xiao Yuan's terrifying offensive last night shocked her.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao Yuan!"
The cold and charming woman stared at Xiao Yuan with her beautiful eyes, stretched out her jade hand gracefully, and smiled slightly. Her sudden smile made some of the aristocratic children around the VIP table lose their minds. On weekdays, they rarely have the good eyesight to see what they have always seen. The cold and charming princess would treat people like this!
"Hello, Princess Yaoye."
Xiao Yuan smiled, then stretched out his other hand, politely held the soft and boneless jade hand, and then let go after touching it.
"Mr. Xiao Yuan's talent amazed even my great-grandfather. Yaoye has always respected strong men like Mr. Xiao Yuan. I wonder if we can make an appointment to compare notes?"
Yao Ye took back her hand and asked with a smile.
"Haha, Princess Yaoye is overrated. How can I dare to call myself a strong person in front of Jia Lao with my meager skills?"
Xiao Yuan smiled lightly when he heard this.
Hearing this, Jia Xingtian smiled at Hai Bodong and said, "Hey, your disciple really speaks with the same demeanor as you did back then!"
"Hmph, are you envious?"
When Hai Bodong heard the words, he looked like he didn't hear the overtones. Instead, he trembled and said rather sternly.
Seeing this situation, Jia Xingtian shook his head helplessly, but he was too lazy to argue with the ice pimple anymore.
Yao Ye, who had eaten a soft nail on the side, was a little curious about Xiao Yuan. Ordinary people would either not dare to approach her because of her identity, or they would come to curry favor with her because of her identity. People like Xiao Yuan, who was like Grandpa, would It is quite rare for someone who dares to insult the royal family in front of a powerful warrior.
However, Yao Ye could also see that Xiao Yuan himself had no objection to the royal family. Now that it was like this, it was more like he didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Is it because of Ya Fei?
Looking at Xiao Yuana's left hand holding hands with Ya Fei, Yao Ye suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded.
Is it because he avoids suspicion that he doesn't give himself face? Are his motives really that impure?
However, Grandpa will not lie. Yue'er said the same thing yesterday. It seems that Xiao Yuan's talent is indeed worth making friends with. As for whether to use a beauty trap or not.
To be honest, with Xiao Yuan's appearance, who can call her beautiful in front of him?
A sense of frustration emerged in Yao Ye's heart.
Because of this reason, it would be too unfair for him to be unable to achieve his original goal.
But seeing that Xiao Yuan had turned around and no longer paid attention to her, Yaoye realized for the first time that she didn't seem to know what to say.
As time went by, more and more alchemists poured out of the passage, and then looked for their positions according to the test cards they received.
During this period, people from the other two major families also arrived at the venue, which also caused quite a commotion. After all, as a major family in the imperial capital, they attract attention wherever they go.
I won’t go into details about the Mu family. Nalan Jie of the Nalan family has recovered from his injury, and Nalan Yanran, the future heir of the Yunlan Sect, is also as beautiful as a flower, so naturally she attracted a lot of people. attention.
After a few pleasantries, Xiao Yuan simply threw himself on Ya Fei's shoulder and pretended to fall asleep.
Yafei was used to dealing with these things on weekdays. Logically speaking, she wouldn't have a headache on such occasions. But when she saw Xiao Yuan being so casual, she suddenly had a sudden impulse, so she simply closed her eyes and leaned against Xiao Yuan. On top of Yuan's head, the two people actually fell asleep together in front of everyone.
When Haibodong and Miter Tengshan saw this, they also shook their heads speechlessly: This young man!
But the two old men were quite interesting and tried to excuse the two little guys. That was all for Mittel Tengshan. Haibodong was a genuine warrior of the Emperor. Mu Chen and Nalan Jie naturally did not dare to neglect them. He also had an attitude of saying whatever he said, and he really ignored Ya Fei and Xiao Yuan on the side.
Nalan Yanran, on the other hand, looked at the intimate appearance of Yafei and Xiao Yuan who were sleeping, and felt a little bit blocked in her heart, but she couldn't help but cast her eyes over them.
Xiao Yan also followed the two masters from Black Rock City to the VIP table. After seeing his brother and sister-in-law taking a nap, he did not come forward to disturb him and just exchanged pleasantries. After sitting down, he heard that Xiao Yuan’s voice transmission: “Come on.”
I don’t know how long it took, but the noise in my ears gradually weakened, and a clear bell rang, echoing in the square.
Fa Ma stood up unhurriedly, walked slowly to the front of the VIP table, and glanced at the thousands of alchemists sitting below the bluestone platform. At this time, more than two thousand alchemists also He raised his head and cast awe-inspiring eyes on this old man who had a high reputation in the pharmaceutical refining world of the Jiama Empire.
"In the name of the president of the Jiama Empire Alchemist Guild, I announce that the seventh Alchemist Conference will begin now!"
"boom!"
The whole place was boiling with joy and cheers, and the whole place was shaken for nine days!
Standing in front of the VIP table, Fa Ma looked at the boiling square. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Now, all contestants, please enter your seats."
Although the square was so boiling at the moment that it was difficult to even hear the ringing of the bells, Fa Ma's chuckle still resounded in everyone's ears. This shows that this dying old man has extremely extraordinary strength. .
After hearing Fa Ma's words, many alchemists suddenly stood up on the VIP table. Most of these alchemists were trained or won over by some powerful forces. Because of the support of the forces behind them, the level of these alchemists , Generally speaking, it is a bit higher than those of free alchemists.
The high platform is dozens of meters high from the square below. At such a height, these young people, who are still only fighting masters or even fighters, naturally do not dare to jump directly, so there are special corridors on both sides of the corridor leading to the VIP seats. At this time, they were slowly walking down the stairs in the square under the gaze of countless eyes.
"Haha, Liu Ling, Xiao Yue'er, Xiao Yan, you should also go to your respective positions... Because of your outstanding internal test scores, the positions there belong to you, and they will make you the center of attention. Focus."
Fa Ma pointed his finger at the center of the square, where there were about a dozen huge bluestone platforms. Not only were these bluestone platforms wider in area than others, but their foundations seemed to be higher than others. Such a special position that stood out from the crowd. Naturally, it can make the person standing on top become the focus of the audience.
Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei opened their eyes tacitly, and what they saw was the figures of Xiao Yan and the three of them using their own methods to jump off the high platform.
