Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 242

Xiao Yan followed Ya Fei to the innermost part of the auction house, where a variety of medicinal materials were displayed on the table. Based on the knowledge Xiao Yan learned from Yao Shen, these medicinal materials were at least third-grade elixirs. It requires materials, and there are even some medicinal materials that are only used in fourth-grade elixirs.

Next to these medicinal materials, there is a black square medicine cauldron that looks very thick. Metallic light flashes on the medicine cauldron, and it is wrapped with cloud-like patterns, which looks very mysterious.

Just by looking at it, Xiao Yan could tell that this medicine cauldron was definitely worth a lot of money, at least several levels better than the double snake cauldron in his hand.

Yao Shen in the ring also deeply agrees with this.

(Oh ha~ This Miter Auction House is pretty good. Can you find a medicinal cauldron of this level?)

Although it is not as good as his own Black Demon Cauldron, the medicinal cauldron in front of him is quite good. At least it is more than enough to match Xiao Yan's current level of alchemy.

At this time, Yafei slowly turned around and smiled lightly at Xiao Yan.

"Brother, please accept all these things."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then came to his senses. He instinctively waved his hands and was about to refuse, but was blocked by Yafei who had anticipated it in advance.

"You are participating in the Alchemist Conference on behalf of Mittel Auction House this time. Mittel Auction House should fully support you. You deserve this. You can't let you work in vain, right? In that case, my sister will Very guilty.”

Ya Fei's words made Xiao Yan speechless and choked. After a while, he nodded lightly.

"Okay, Sister Yafei, I will accept the medicinal materials, but I don't need the medicinal cauldron. I have it."

"The medicine cauldron is very important to the alchemist, especially for such a big occasion." Yafei interrupted Xiao Yan again, narrowed one eye and raised a finger to her lips, "Usually When refining medicine, you can stop if you feel that the medicine cauldron cannot hold it any longer, but this is not possible in a situation like this. Even if you know that the medicine cauldron has reached its endurance limit, the alchemist must hold on."

"And in this case, the probability of the cauldron exploding is quite high. Every time the alchemists meet, there are a large number of alchemists who explode the cauldron. And exploding the cauldron basically means failure, so a good cauldron is an absolute must. of."

"Of course, if the medicine cauldron in my brother's hands is more superior than this Xuanyun cauldron, then I'll just pretend that my sister didn't say anything."

Ya Fei's words made Xiao Yan silent.

It can be seen by looking at the Double Snake Cauldron in his hand and this Xuanyun Cauldron that they are not at the same level at all.

Moreover, Yafei's words indeed made sense. Nalan Jie had conveyed Jia Xingtian's instructions to her, and she should try her best to reach the end of the Alchemist Conference.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan was a little afraid of the explosive cauldron mentioned by Ya Fei.

The fear of failure is secondary, and Xiao Yan is not afraid of being injured by exploding the cauldron.

The main reason is that the double snake cauldron in Xiao Yan's hand was given to him by Boss Yao for almost nothing. In Xiao Yan's opinion, it was a relic of Boss Yao. Xiao Yan had originally planned to find a new medicinal cauldron. After giving the Double Snake Cauldron to the Little Medical Fairy, I thought it was just a thought for the Little Medical Fairy.

Before that, be sure to keep it well.

After thinking about it in his heart, Xiao Yan nodded, clasped his hands and said to Ya Fei Zheng.

"In this case, my brother is disrespectful." Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei with a serious expression, "I will accept all the medicinal materials as my brother's appearance fee, but the medicinal cauldron is too expensive, so I can only treat it as a temporary loan from my brother. After the game If my brother can raise enough money, he will buy it, if not, he will return it immediately."

".Ah~"

Yafei crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Yan with a solemn expression. After being silent for a while, she sighed deeply.

Originally, this Xuanyun Cauldron was intended to be given directly to Xiao Yan by Ya Fei.

However, Yafei also knows Xiao Yan's temper. During the years she stayed in Wutan City, Yafei had already figured out Xiao Yan's character. The medicinal materials can be accepted as a reward for participating in the competition. No matter what Yafei says about this medicinal cauldron Xiao Yan would not take it away in vain.

Thinking of this, Yafei couldn't help but feel a headache and pressed her eyebrows.

Sister won't give this tripod to anyone else who wants it, but it's you. My sister has to think of ways to give it to you for free. It's really speechless.

"I see."

In the end, Yafei nodded lightly, which was regarded as acknowledgment of Xiao Yan's words.

Let's leave it like this for the time being. When the alchemist conference is over, I will think of a way to give this medicine cauldron to Xiao Yan. If it doesn't work, I will charge some symbolic money, as long as Xiao Yan can accept it with peace of mind.

"Let's go, the Alchemist Conference will start in an hour. Register in advance and get familiar with the environment. Otherwise, you will have stage fright."

Yafei chuckled softly. Although this was a joke, it was not impossible.

Every year at the Alchemist Conference, there are always some alchemists who could have achieved very good results, but due to stage fright, they were so confused that they left without even surviving the first round.

Although this situation is regrettable, it is also reasonable. As an alchemist, if you don't even have this kind of mental endurance, then no matter how talented you are, you will definitely not be able to go far.

However, with Xiao Yan's character, this should not be the case.

Xiao Yan only behaves very innocently towards women, but in formal situations, Xiao Yan has always been neither humble nor overbearing, and his temperament has always been far calmer than that of his peers.

Then Xiao Yan got on the carriage arranged by Ya Fei and headed towards the venue of the Alchemist Conference.

Of course, Xiao Yan and Ya Fei were sitting in the same car, smelling Ya Fei's unique body fragrance spreading in the narrow space. Xiao Yan's whole body was tense the whole time, and he didn't even dare to open his eyes. The body is as far away from Ya Fei as possible.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fear of offending Ya Fei and the fact that he didn't know where the venue of the alchemist conference was, Xiao Yan would have jumped out of the car right now.

Yafei looked at Xiao Yan who was far away from her, with his eyes tightly closed and not daring to move, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

But that was all. Ya Fei did not come forward to tease Xiao Yan again. She was a woman who knew how to distinguish between situations. If Xiao Yan's performance in the conference was abnormal due to excessive teasing, it would be her fault.

This matter was ordered by Jia Xingtian himself and must not be messed up.

Ten minutes later, the bumpy carriage finally stopped. Before the carriage could stop, Xiao Yan immediately rushed out, breathing in the fresh air outside, feeling relieved in his heart.

Torture. Just torture.
To be honest, Ya Fei is too unfriendly to a big boy like Xiao Yan who is in his teenage years, and he can't control himself if he is not careful.

"Come, sister will take you to register."

Ya Fei, who got off the carriage, crossed over to Xiao Yan, gave him a light hook, and led Xiao Yan, who was blushing and heart-beating, to the entrance of the Alchemist Conference, and registered Xiao Yan's name with the staff at the door.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you have been registered. The staff will take you in. Sister, go and do your own business first." Ya Fei turned around, waved her hand to Xiao Yan, and then blew a kiss to Xiao Yan, " We’ll see you later~”

"."

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched as he looked at Ya Fei's leaving back. His beating heart slowly calmed down due to Ya Fei's blowing kiss, and Xiao Yan also breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Phew. Finally gone.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and pressed his head.

This is really, too torturous.
Then, under the guidance of the staff, Xiao Yan walked through the narrow black passage and walked slowly towards the light.

After walking for several minutes, Xiao Yan finally passed through the black passage. As the dazzling sunlight covered the field of vision in front of him, the full view of the venue was presented to Xiao Yan after a while.

Immediately, Xiao Yan was amazed from the bottom of his heart.

What a big venue!Is this capable of accommodating 10 people?
Xiao Yan looked at the venue in front of him in astonishment. He had heard someone say how grand the Alchemist Conference was before, but he only heard what others said and had no actual feelings.

It was not until this moment that Xiao Yan truly felt the magnificence of the Alchemist Conference from his heart!

In this grand venue, there are hundreds of stone tables in a ring, which should be prepared for the alchemists participating in the conference. "Contestant Xiao Yan, the competition starts in two hours. During this period, you can move around as you like. Before the game starts, please choose one of the stone tables to prepare for the competition."

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Xiao Yan chuckled and waved his hand, making the staff slightly surprised.

He is also an old employee, and most of the alchemists he met in past conferences had an arrogant personality.

After all, the profession of alchemist has a noble status. Although Xiao Yan is so polite, it is quite rare among alchemists.

Immediately, the staff nodded in response to Xiao Yan, turned around and left, while Xiao Yan was strolling around the venue.

It was still early before the opening time of the game, and most of the audience had not entered the venue yet, and there were only a few scattered people sitting in the stands.

However, many alchemists participating in the competition have already arrived, and most of the stone table in the venue has been occupied. The expressions of each alchemist are extremely solemn, and they are all nervously preparing for the competition.

Of course, this alchemist conference is a very important occasion for the alchemists of the Gama Empire. Not to mention the rewards after winning the championship, the reputation alone is enough for them to be praised by all the Gama Empire’s alchemists. The forces from other sides are vying to grab it first.

It's even said that even if you don't make it to the end, as long as your performance is outstanding and people remember it, someone will spend a lot of money to recruit you.

"No wonder Grandpa Nalan said that we should go to the end as much as possible. If we were eliminated in the first round, no one would even know his name."

A little cold sweat broke out on Xiao Yan's forehead, and he couldn't help but beat his heart.

After all, it had been less than half a year since he started to work on refining medicine, and most of his time was actually spent on practice. Xiao Yan really had no confidence in the art of refining medicine.

Regarding Xiao Yan's idea, the medicine in the ring sighed softly.

Again, my disciple is really outstanding, and even Yao Chen, a man who has seen the world, cannot deny it.

But the key problem is that Xiao Yan is too [cautious].

Generally speaking, caution is indeed a good thing.

However, being too cautious can easily lead to lack of confidence in oneself, so that one does not dare to step into unknown areas, and always feels that one is not good enough.

Of course, this is for ordinary people.

Xiao Yan is indeed very cautious at ordinary times, but when he encounters a problem, he will try his best to do it without sparing any effort.

At this time, Xiao Yan was not so cautious, he was just working hard with the mentality that he must succeed.

To be honest, Yao Shen was already used to this contradictory personality in Xiao Yan.

He always thinks that he is weaker than others, but when he is really faced with it, he goes all out without any scruples. These personality contrasts are really two extremes.

This should be the most excellent character, but Yao Shen still hopes that Xiao Yan can be more confident in his daily life and not have such a low opinion of himself.

After only half a year of exposure to alchemy, he was able to refining third-grade elixirs reliably, and even some fourth-grade elixirs. This talent is definitely quite outstanding even if it is placed in the elixir tower of Zhongzhou. Xiao Yan has absolutely no You need to feel ashamed of yourself.

Yao Shen thought, Xiao Yan had already walked around the venue for most of the time, and was about to choose a stone table for pre-game preparations when he happened to meet a few acquaintances.

"Xiao Yan! Here!!!"

Hearing this call, Xiao Yan followed the voice and saw Lin Fei, whom he had met at the alchemist gathering, waving to him from a distance. Otto was standing beside him, and Frank was explaining something to Xuemei.

After being greeted, Xiao Yan naturally couldn't pretend that he didn't hear. He raised his hand and walked towards there. As soon as he walked into Linfei, he stepped behind Xiao Yan and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder carelessly.

"I've heard about it! You've been saving people everywhere on the streets this week, and you've become a celebrity, right?"

Being caught off guard and slapped so many times by Lin Fei, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be a little confused. At the same time, he secretly thought that this girl's hands were very strong. It was thanks to his good physical training, otherwise he would have been bruised by these slaps on his back.

At this time, Frank also stopped explaining to Xuemei, turned around and came to Xiao Yan, with deep kindness in his eyes.

"Xiao Yan, you have worked really hard this week. I would like to express my gratitude to you for the aborigines of Chisha City."

"what"

Xiao Yan scratched his face in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Aren’t there a lot of people helping out this week?Why do so many people want to thank me specifically?
As if he saw what Xiao Yan was thinking, Frank smiled softly and said slowly.

"Many people will help just because of their responsibilities. There are not many people like you who go out of their way to help without asking for anything in return when it is not your obligation." Frank paused and continued: "And the one who followed you that day. The two girls have also helped a lot of people this week, especially the little medical fairy, who has been regarded as a goddess by many people."

"."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

What about this?Didn't the Little Medical Fairy tell him?
"Lin Fei and I have helped a lot these days." Xuemei came over and said to Xiao Yan with a smile: "But compared to you, we are much safer. We are just refining healing medicine in the back."

"That's amazing. As long as you have this kind of heart, it's worthy of praise."

Frank stroked Xuemei's head and sincerely praised his disciple.

You must know that there are many profit-seeking scum among alchemists, which can be seen from this incident.

Obviously because of the Alchemist Conference, the Holy City of Gama gathered many alchemists who came to participate in the competition. However, there were not many alchemists who were really willing to help unconditionally. Some even took this opportunity to make a fortune, which was simply corrupt. conscience.

In contrast, the fact that his disciples were able to take the initiative to help without any thought of reward made him, as a teacher, quite gratified.

"Humph~ I haven't slept for several days!"

Linfei put her hands on her hips and raised her head, as if she was coming to praise me. Otto behind her gave her a dissatisfied look.

"You have the nerve to say that? You can make frequent mistakes with the lowest-grade first-grade healing medicine and burn so many medicinal materials. Are you quite proud of it?"

"I'm so sleepy, aren't I?"

After hearing her teacher's lesson, Linfei's voice suddenly weakened and she murmured dissatisfiedly, making Otto even more angry.

"If you are really sleepy, go and rest! What are you doing holding on there? What if you tire yourself out?"

It can be heard that although Otto is teaching a lesson, he is also really worried about his disciples.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan chuckled lightly.

Just as I had judged before, although Lin Fei has a carefree personality and is not taboo in speaking, she is indeed a kind girl just like Xuemei.

Immediately, Xiao Yan thought of something and looked at Frank.

"By the way, Master Frank, where has President Kuro, whom I met that day, been during this time?"
