Chapter 132 A Helpless Night

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 stretched as far as the eye could see.

This Royal Square is a real "square". Compared with this, the central square of Wutan City is simply a small witch compared to a big witch!

Looking across the extremely spacious square, Xiao Yuan found that there were thousands of bluestone platforms neatly distributed in it. These stone platforms were staggered, but very neat. At first glance, they looked like a bluestone army standing still.

However, at this time, many participating alchemists could be seen in the square. They sat quietly on the bluestone platform, waiting for the arrival of the competition time.

As VIPs, Xiao Yuan and others naturally had exclusive seats. Following Hai Bodong and Mitel Tengshan, Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei 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 robe.

Looking at the five-ripple alchemy cauldron badge on his chest, it is clear that this is a fifth-grade alchemist.

I think this person is the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire, Fa Ma.

Although his level is less than the sixth grade, Fa Ma's reputation in the alchemy world of the Jiama Empire is not much less than that of the Dan King Gu He. After all, after living for so many years, Fa Ma's accumulated foundation is not comparable to Gu He, a younger generation.

"Hey, this old guy is not dead yet? These old guys are more evil than each other!"

Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes and laughed in a low voice.

Mitel Tengshan on the side heard that it was not easy to take up this topic, so he had to remain silent.

"It's better to be alive than to be dead!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and took over the conversation.

"Old Bing, aren't you dead too?"

As if hearing Hai Bodong's words, Fa Ma's voice suddenly sounded.

After this, many people around cast their eyes on him, obviously paying close attention to Hai Bodong's identity.

"Hehe, you're not dead yet, how can I go first?"

Hai Bodong flashed and sat down next to Fa Ma, smiling faintly.

"I thought you were killed by Queen Medusa, but the battle between you and Jia Xingtian last night surprised me. I didn't expect that you could survive from Queen Medusa!"

Fa Ma shook his head and couldn't help sighing.

"Tsk, she survived by luck. That woman is really scary."

Hai Bodong smacked his lips with lingering fear, and then felt a chill inexplicably, and then couldn't help shivering.

"What a tough guy... But it's good to be 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 laughed loudly.

"By the way, I heard that you accepted a disciple? It must be this little guy, right? This soul power is strong enough. I'm afraid that ordinary third-grade alchemists don't have such a strong soul power."

Then, Fa Ma looked at Xiao Yuan and said with a smile.

"Tsk, your alchemist's perception is indeed sharp!"

Hai Bodong curled his lips when he heard this, but there was obviously a hint of pride in his eyes.

After all, he was still very satisfied with Xiao Yuan as a disciple.

"Hello, President Fa Ma!"

Seeing that the topic was about himself, Xiao Yuan also bowed and said with a smile.

Fa Ma nodded when he heard this, and then he looked at Xiao Yuan again. Then, his eyes were slightly condensed, and his soul perception kept sweeping over Xiao Yuan's body, and a trace of doubt flashed in the depths of his eyes.

In Xiao Yuan's soul power, he vaguely sensed a familiar breath, but because it was too vague, he didn't dare to confirm it.

But the owner of that breath was a master of alchemy he met in the past. If it weren't for that senior, he probably wouldn't have reached his current height.

However, just the familiar feeling at present still couldn't confirm this.

But. It's strange, how could this kid have such a powerful force in his body?

After Fa Ma detected it, he didn't detect the trace of the senior, and was surprised to find that there was a huge power hidden in Xiao Yuan's body. If it exploded, I'm afraid even he wouldn't be a match!

What a mysterious little guy!

After sighing in his heart, Fa Ma smiled and was about to say something, but suddenly he raised his eyebrows and looked at the passage on the side.

"Haha, old man Hai, you and your disciple came very early!"

An old laugh sounded. 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 turned around and looked over.

The white-haired old man in a simple linen robe was walking towards them with a smile, but his beard was obviously shorter than when they first met last night.

The people around Fa Ma were also surprised to see Jia Xingtian. You know, although the Alchemist Conference was held in the provincial capital, Jia Xingtian was now the guardian of the royal family and would not usually come out in public. What was the wind blowing today that made this old monster show up?

However, Xiao Yuan's attention was not on the old man Jia Xingtian. He glanced over and saw the little princess he had seen at the dinner yesterday.

Today's little princess wore a pale blue alchemist robe, with brocade lotus embroidered on the loose cuffs, which made her look elegant. However, after a preliminary understanding last night, Xiao Yuan knew that this girl who looked a bit quiet on the surface was actually a quirky person.

Beside her, there was a tall woman wearing a luxurious brocade robe. The woman's face was somewhat similar to the little princess, but she looked much colder and more beautiful. Under this coldness, there was also a majestic temperament cultivated by the royal family.

Compared with the slightly immature little princess, this woman was undoubtedly more mature and more seductive.

However, Xiao Yuan retracted his gaze, looked at Jia Xingtian, and said with a smile:

"Old Jia is not too late!"

"Hehe." Hearing this, Jia Xingtian smiled, and then walked forward, looked at Hai Bodong and Fa Ma, and laughed: "I didn't expect that the three of us would have the opportunity to get together. It's really fate."

"It's really 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."

"You have been hiding for decades, it's good to come out and watch occasionally..." Old Jia smiled, turned his head to look at Xiao Yuan, and then pointed at the mature and cold woman behind him and smiled: "Little guy, Yue'er must have known you. This is Yue'er's sister, Yao Ye, who is responsible for the safety and order of this conference. The 50,000 troops inside and outside are all controlled by her!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan cast a kind look at Yao Ye and smiled politely.

Those who are really ready to make trouble don't care about the so-called 50,000 troops, but being able to deploy 50,000 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 Ya Fei's hand beside him, and he was quite proud in his heart.

Compared with Sister Ya Fei, Yao Ye is still a little inferior.

"Yao Ye, this is the Xiao Yuan I told you about, the disciple of Old Man Hai, with extraordinary strength. Last night, even I suffered some losses at the hands of this kid!"

Jia Xingtian pointed at Xiao Yuan and smiled at the cold and beautiful woman behind him.

Hearing this, the little princess beside him also quietly stuck out her tongue. Xiao Yuan's terrifying attack last night scared her.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao Yuan!"

The cold and beautiful woman stared at Xiao Yuan with her beautiful eyes, and extended her jade hand generously, smiling slightly. The smile in an instant made some noble children around the VIP seats lose their minds. They rarely have the good fortune to see the always cold and beautiful princess treat people like this!

"Hello, Princess Yaoye."

Xiao Yuan smiled, then extended his other hand, politely shook the soft jade hand, and then let go as soon as he touched it.

"Mr. Xiao Yuan's talent amazed my great grandfather. Yaoye has always respected strong people like Mr. Xiao Yuan. I wonder if we can make an appointment to learn from each other?"

Yaoye asked with a smile after retracting her hand.

"Haha, Princess Yaoye, you are too flattering. With my little practice, how dare I call myself a strong man in front of Mr. Jia?"

Xiao Yuan smiled faintly when he heard it.

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian smiled at Hai Bodong and said, "Hey, your disciple really speaks in the same style as you did back then!"

"Hehe, are you jealous?"

Hai Bodong looked like he didn't hear the hidden meaning, but trembled and said with a bit of pride.

Seeing this, Jia Xingtian also shook his head helplessly, and was too lazy to argue with this ice lump.

Yao Ye, who had been soft-handed, was somewhat curious about Xiao Yuan. Ordinary people either dared not come forward because of her identity, or came up to curry favor with her because of her identity. It was quite rare for someone like Xiao Yuan to dare to offend the royal family in front of a Douhuang strongman like his great grandfather.

Yao Ye could see that Xiao Yuan himself had no opinion on the royal family. Now he was like this, it seemed that he didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Is it because of Ya Fei?

Looking at Xiao Yuan's left hand holding hands with Ya Fei, Yao Ye suddenly felt a little bit amused.

It turned out that he didn't give himself face because of avoiding suspicion? Is my motive really that impure?

However, my great grandfather would not lie. Yue'er said so yesterday. It seems that Xiao Yuan's talent is indeed worth making friends with. As for whether to use the beauty trap.

To be honest, with Xiao Yuan's appearance, who can be called a beauty in front of him?

A sense of frustration emerged in Yao Ye's heart.

It was too unfair that his original goal could not be achieved because of this reason.

But seeing that Xiao Yuan had turned his head and no longer paid attention to him, Yao Ye found for the first time that he didn't seem to know what to say.

As time went by, more and more alchemists poured out from 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 stir. After all, as a big family in the imperial capital, they were eye-catching wherever they went.

I won't say much about the Mu family. Nalan Jie of the Nalan family has recovered from his injuries, and there is also Nalan Yanran, the future heir of the Yunlan Sect. She is also very beautiful, so she naturally attracted a lot of attention.

After that, there was no lack of greetings. Xiao Yuan simply fell on Ya Fei's shoulder and pretended to sleep.

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 for no reason, 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 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. Therefore, 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 it 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.
