Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 223 I am Xiao Yan, a straight man
Jia Ma Holy City, inside the Alchemist Guild.

As the green lotus earth core fire in the double snake cauldron gradually dissipated, a round elixir was released. The color was so bright. The surface of the elixir was also outlined with gorgeous lines. The elixir emanating from it made the smell of it even more intense. The person is intoxicated.

"Whoo~~~"

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense nerves in his heart finally relaxed.

He hadn't refined the medicine properly for so many days, and he was worried that his skills had deteriorated.

But now it seems that he is worrying too much. The strange fire and the level increase of Burning Technique make him more comfortable in refining medicine than before.

Immediately, Xiao Yan handed the third-grade elixir Fengxing Dan to the dazed examiner in front of him and asked softly.

"Do you think this is qualified?"

"Ah? Oh!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's inquiry, the examiner suddenly came back to his senses, reached out to take the Feng Xing Dan in Xiao Yan's hand, and examined it carefully, with a look of surprise and complexity flashing in his eyes.

"Qualified."

The examiner's voice trembled slightly, and he suppressed the shock in his heart when he announced the results of the assessment.

Then the staff walked in from the door holding a tray. Placed in the tray was a robe and a silver badge. The most conspicuous thing on the badge was the three stars engraved under the word "medicine". The certificate of a third-grade alchemist recognized by the Alchemist Guild of the Mar Empire.

"Excuse me."

Xiao Yan saluted the examiner with clasped fists, then immediately put away his robe, badge and medicine cauldron, and left the examination room under the guidance of the staff.

And just as Xiao Yan left the examination room, a figure appeared next to the examiner.

The president of the Jiama Empire Alchemist Guild, a fifth-level alchemist with Douhuang strength, Fa Ma.

"How is the result?"

"Lord Fa Ma!" Fa Ma's sudden appearance startled the examiner, and then he presented the Feng Xing Dan in his hand to Fa Ma, "Sir Fa Ma, this is the Feng Xing Dan refined by that young man."

Fa Ma reached out and took the elixir, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. After a while, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Although Fengxing Dan is only a third-grade elixir, looking at the quality of this elixir and even the pill patterns on it, judging from the level of refining, the young man named Xiao Yan can't even refine a fourth-grade elixir. No problem, plus he is young and possesses strange fire
"It's a little unfair to others to let this kid participate in the Alchemist Conference."

Fa Ma laughed.

The Alchemist Conference only has age restrictions and no regulations on grade.

But normally speaking, those who can reach the fourth level of alchemist in this age group are probably very rare in the entire Jiama Empire.

"Little Princess Yaoyue and that guy Liu Ling are probably going to be hit hard this time~"

Fa Ma handed the elixir back to the examiner. Thinking of the recommendation letter just now, his old eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

Xiao Yan, this young man from Wutan City and Nalan Yanran’s fiancé, had a recommendation letter for the Alchemist Examination written by Miter Auction House. If nothing else happens, when Xiao Yan attends the Alchemist Conference, he should also be On behalf of Mittel Auctioneers.

At this point, anyone would feel something is wrong.

Regardless of emotions or reasons, Xiao Yan should participate in the Alchemist Conference in the name of the Nalan family.

Of course, it would be understandable if Xiao Yan had a bad relationship with his fiancée's family.

However, judging from the news I heard, the relationship between Xiao Yan and the Nalan family is quite good.

Moreover, the entire Jiama Holy City basically knows that Xiao Yan is the future uncle of the Nalan family. The Miter Auction House should not take the initiative to do such an offensive thing. This is equivalent to sweeping away the Nalan family. face.

They are all in the Holy City of Gama, and they are all from the three major families. However, their future son-in-law is supported by Miter Auction House, a seemingly unrelated person, to participate in the Alchemist Conference. If this news spreads, some interested people will still hear it. I feel that the Nalan family doesn’t want to see Xiao Yan.

In other words, the Nalan family probably acquiesced to Mittel Auction House's actions.

As for the Miter Auction House taking the initiative to do something that might offend the Nalan family, the Nalan family did not object. There was only one reason that Fa Ma could think of.

Someone must have given orders to both families from above.

(Is it a royal family?)

With a sullen face, Fa Ma turned around and slowly left the examination room under the examiner's doubtful gaze.

As those at the top of Jia Ma Holy City, they are naturally very aware of the recent affairs of the royal family and the Yun Lan Sect.

As the saying goes, people become better with age. Fa Ma only thought for a moment and immediately understood the purpose of the royal family's behavior.

"It seems that this alchemist conference should be the last calm before the storm."

Fa Ma murmured and sighed.

Outside the Alchemist Guild, Nalan Yanran and the others were still waiting in boredom.

"But I really didn't expect Xiao Yan to be able to refine medicine."

Nalan Yanran chanted softly, and the little medical fairy squatted on the ground, with a helpless smile on her lips.

"If you knew what he had been doing during this period, you should think that it is not a big deal that he can refine medicine." The little medical fairy turned his eyes slightly and glanced at Nalan Yanran, "What have you been doing with him recently? Compared with those things about me, knowing how to make medicine is nothing to mention."

What the little fairy doctor said is the absolute truth.

As for the various deeds Xiao Yan did in the Snake Tribe incident, they were just refining medicine, and they are incomparable to those things.

Whether you can refine medicine or not is a matter of talent.

And those things that Xiao Yan did, even the most talented people couldn't do.

After hearing what the little medical fairy said, Nalan Yanran frowned slightly.

After all, she didn't know anything about the Snake Tribe, and Nalan Jie didn't reveal anything to his granddaughter because of Xingtian's suspicion of Nalan Yanran.

"What has he been doing during this time?"

Nalan Yanran asked in a low voice, while the little medical fairy shook her head slightly, indicating that she refused to answer the question.

"Ms. Nalan, I can't tell you these things yet, but I believe you will definitely know about them in the future."

The little medical fairy has basically been following the events these days, and naturally he also knows Jiaxingtian's precautions against Nalan Yanran.

Although it can be determined from the short conversation between the Little Medical Fairy and Nalan Yanran, Nalan Yanran must have nothing to do with those people from the Yunlan Sect.

However, this is just the little medical fairy's own recognition of Nalan Yanran, and it does not mean it is the truth.

Therefore, at this stage, it is better to follow Jia Xingtian's instructions and hide these things from Nalan Yanran as much as possible.

The little medical fairy's words made Nalan Yanran's eyebrows sink slightly and she asked lightly.

"Does this mean Jia Lao?"

"Yes." The little medical fairy hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.

At least Jia Xingtian's suspicion of Nalan Yanran can still be known to her. Even if the little medical fairy didn't tell her, Nalan Yanran could guess it herself.

"I know." Nalan Yanran sighed softly, leaned against the wall with her hands behind her back, and murmured, "It seems that Yunlan Sect's problem is much more serious than I thought."

Because of his identity as the young master of the Yunlan Sect, he was suspected by the royal family, and his teacher also prohibited him from returning to the Yunlan Sect during this period.

This problem is definitely not that big.

At this moment, the door of the Alchemist Guild opened wide, and Xiao Yan walked out, looking at the three of them with a smile.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"Xiao Yan, are you finished with the assessment?"

Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan, and the little medical fairy also stood up and asked softly.

"what's the result?"

"It wasn't too difficult. I passed it successfully."

Xiao Yan said as he took out the badge representing the third-grade alchemist and presented it in front of the two of them. The little medical fairy had no reaction after seeing it. After all, she didn't know much about the alchemist in the first place.

Nalan Yanran looked horrified. She grasped Xiao Yan's wrist with both hands and stared at the badge in his hand.

"Third product?!"

Originally, Xiao Yan's ability to refine medicine had exceeded Nalan Yanran's expectations. She expected that it would only be the first level, and the second level would be the limit.

But he never expected that Xiao Yan’s qualification as an alchemist was level three!

A third-grade alchemist! ! !
How old is Xiao Yan?This is considered a genius in the Jia Ma Empire, right?

As for Gu He's direct disciple, Liu Ling, who has been pestering him, had just been promoted to the third level some time ago.

As expected of my Nalan Yanran’s fiancé!

Nalan Yanran was so excited that she was about to shout out these words, but then her heart tightened and she held it in her throat, and she began to blame herself secretly in her heart.

The old problem is committed again
What does it mean to be worthy of being my fiancé, Nalan Yanran? He said it as if only Xiao Yan could be worthy of me.

My feelings for Xiao Yan have absolutely nothing to do with these things.

"Let's go! Let's go home. Grandpa will be very happy to know!"

Nalan Yanran said excitedly, Nalan Jie was already very satisfied with Xiao Yan, his grandson-in-law. Now if he learned that Xiao Yan had successfully obtained the certification of a third-grade alchemist, his heart would be described as ecstatic. Who wouldn't? Do you hope your future grandson-in-law will be so good?

Just as a few people were preparing to return to Nalan's house, not far ahead, the originally empty street suddenly became lively. Many people stood on both sides of the road, as if to welcome something.

After a while, Xiao Yan faintly saw a group of people walking slowly from the road between the human walls. Looking from a distance, the leader was an old man with a majestic face riding on horseback. His temperament is very similar to Nalan Jie.

And sitting on the pony behind the old man was someone Xiao Yan knew.

The eldest princess of Jia Ma Empire, Yao Ye.

Immediately, Xiao Yan understood that Yaoye was going to the Tagor Desert to sign a contract with the snake people on behalf of the Jiama Empire.

As for the Mo family's slave business, the royal family has not spread it widely, so only a small number of people know the destination of Yao Ye's trip. By the time almost everyone knows, the contract should have been signed.

At this time, Yaoye's eyes suddenly caught sight of Xiao Yan who was watching on the roadside. He then raised his hand to signal to stop, then turned over and dismounted, and came to Xiao Yan in front of the curious eyes of the people. Xiao Yan also smiled and clasped his fists. salute.

"Your Highness Yao Ye."

Hearing Xiao Yan call herself His Highness, Yao Ye raised her eyebrows in displeasure, but after all, it was a public place and she did not dwell on this issue. She chuckled and said to Xiao Yan as if joking.

"Are you here to see me off?"

"No." Xiao Yan denied softly, pointing to the Alchemist Guild behind him, "I came to take the Alchemist Examination, and I just happened to meet you."

"."

Xiao Yan's answer made the corner of Yao Ye's mouth twitch. Everyone next to her felt speechless at the speech of a straight man like Xiao Yan. Even the Little Medical Fairy and Nalan Yanran had their faces covered with black lines. face.

Why did they fall in love with such a person?
Even as the medicine sank into the ring, his face was speechless. His disciple was really a straight man!

Yao Ye considered herself to be relatively informal and cheerful, but her heart was blocked by Xiao Yan's honest speech, and then she breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Forget it, this person has this kind of character. Shouldn't I have known it clearly before in the Tagor Desert?

Before, Yao Ye admired Xiao Yan's unparalleled integrity, but at this moment Yao Ye suddenly realized.

Anything that is too upright doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Yaoye looked at Xiao Yan and said.

"This time, on behalf of the Jiama Empire, I will officially go to the Tagor Desert to meet with your sister and the others. After that, the migration of the snake people can proceed smoothly." Yao Ye said with a little helplessness on her face, "But this trip , I probably won’t be able to come back for two or three months.”

"Is your safety okay?"

There was worry in Xiao Yan's eyes. The matter of the Snake Tribe was certainly important, but Yaoye was the future queen of the Jiama Empire. If something happened while away from home, it would not be a joke.

"Don't worry, General Mu Chen is following." Yaoye turned slightly and introduced to Xiao Yan the leading old man who had a very similar temperament to Nalan Jie, "This is the head of the Mu family, old General Mu Chen."

"Junior has met General Mu."

After Yao Ye's introduction, Xiao Yan followed up by cupping his fists and saluting Mu Chen. Mu Chen didn't respond, but nodded lightly, looking at the young man in front of him with his old eyes.

As Jia Xingtian's most trusted right-hand man like Nalan Jie, Jia Xingtian naturally told Mu Chen everything that happened to the snake people, and for Xiao Yan, the key figure among them, Jia Xingtian was even more generous in his praise. .

Jia Xingtian even half-jokingly said in front of him, "If Xiao Yan had not been engaged to the Nalan family, I would betroth Ye'er to him", which is enough to prove how optimistic Jia Xingtian is about Xiao Yan.

Putting aside Jia Xingtian's personal views on Xiao Yan, Mu Chen was horrified by all the things Xiao Yan did during the Snake Tribe incident, especially when he heard that Xiao Yan broke into the strange fire alone just to save Medusa. That part made Mu Chen even more admired.

Mu Chen was certain that he stood in the same position as Xiao Yan with the same identity and strength. He could never be as decisive as Xiao Yan. This alone made Mu Chen feel ashamed.

If you lack strength, you can make up for it through practice.

But if your xinxing is not good enough, it is not that easy to improve.

Mu Chen originally thought that his grandson Mu Zhan was already considered a prominent figure among the younger generation. Although he was a bit dandy, he was generally a very outstanding young man. He also made many achievements in the army, which made his grandfather think highly of him. Hao.

However, compared with Xiao Yan, Mu Zhan's excellence suddenly seemed too inferior.

And this is definitely not Mu Zhan's problem. Even Mu Chen never thought that Mu Zhan's character could reach the level of Xiao Yan.

That kind of character is simply not something that normal people can match.
