Chapter 304: Fa Ma, Yao Ye, the conference begins!

The next day, the sky was blue and cloudless, the sunshine was warm but not blazing, and the occasional breeze blew by, taking away the noise in the city and making people feel refreshed.

Today is a major event in the Jia Ma Empire. The Alchemist Conference held every eight years will kick off today!

Since the first ray of sunlight broke through the shackles of the earth and shone on this historic city, figures in twos and threes wearing alchemist robes began to appear on the quiet streets.

These noble professions are difficult for ordinary people to see. Because of their power and unparalleled importance, alchemists seem to be somewhat mysterious and awe-inspiring in the hearts of ordinary people. But today, these noble alchemists

Pharmacists, however, were like ants coming out of their holes, swarming out from various resting places in the imperial capital. Although their routes were different, their destinations were all the simple buildings standing in the city.

Alchemist Guild.

Today, all the shops in the Holy City of Gama opened their doors earlier than before. Countless people got up from their warm beds and stood at the gate, looking at the large groups of alchemists hurriedly walking on the streets.

, his eyes were filled with passion and awe.

The alchemist conference in the past few days will be the most lively and explosive period of the year in the Holy City of Gama...

Alchemists, who are rarely seen on weekdays, are now overwhelmingly represented by legions. This spectacular scene can only be seen at the Alchemist Conference held every eight years...

On this special day, Xiao Yan also got up early, sat cross-legged on the bed and quietly adjusted his breathing for about an hour. After his physical condition reached its peak, he slowly opened his eyes.

.

He twisted his body lazily, and when he heard the crackling sound inside his body, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, got out of bed, walked out of the inner hall, and immediately saw Hai Bodong standing by the window.

"Are you up? I think the number of alchemists who appeared in the Holy City of Jiama today will probably reach an extremely terrifying number. It is worthy of the Alchemist Conference. Only this kind of grand gathering can make it possible to bring together these alchemists in the empire.

The pharmacist has been summoned." Hai Bodong looked at the pharmacists passing by on the street and couldn't help but admired.

"Alchemists are also human beings, and they naturally need vanity and recognition...and this Alchemist Conference is the best stage." Xiao Yan poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said with a faint smile.

Haibodong turned around, stared at Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "Actually, I am very puzzled. With your ability, you actually have the intention to attend the Alchemist Conference. Although this kind of grand event is rare, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Isn’t it too in line with your strength?”

Xiao Yan smiled, holding the tea cup with both hands, and said with a chuckle: "I can't help it, who made me excited about the championship reward in this conference...The "Rongling Pill" prescription is very useful to me..."

"Although you are not an alchemist, you must know what kind of temptation the prescription has for an alchemist. In my eyes, the sixth-grade prescription is no less attractive than an earth-level fighting skill.

"

Shaking his head helplessly, Haibodong curled his lips and said: "With your strength, participating in this conference is like a strong Dou Huang entering the competition venue of a group of Dou Huang."

"You think too highly of me..." Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Before using the Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus, it would have been easy to win the championship. But now...the soul power has been severely damaged, and the strength is...

It’s not as good as before, and the most important thing in refining elixirs is soul power, so now that I’m participating in this conference, I’m not sure of winning.”

"Uh... It won't be that serious, right? If a master alchemist who can refine sixth-grade elixirs loses in such a junior competition, then..." Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yan with a strange expression and said.

"That would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?"

After smiling, Xiao Yan stood up and said with a smile: "If you don't even have this mentality, how can you pursue the more distant path of becoming an alchemist?"

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go..." Putting down the tea cup, Xiao Yan smiled, turned around and walked towards the door. Behind him, Hai Bodong shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to follow.

After walking out of the room and walking down to the hotel, the second-grade alchemist robes worn by Xiao Yan attracted a lot of attention, but he didn't pay much attention to them. His eyes casually swept over the several alchemists passing by the door.

Then he walked out slowly.

Walking on the street, Xiao Yan pursed his lips with a slight smile on his face as he was constantly receiving looks of awe and curiosity.

On both sides of the spacious street, graceful and graceful girls smiled and cast shy and admiring glances at the alchemists walking on the street. For these girls of all ages and full of fantasy,

Said that the mysterious and profound alchemist was almost like a magnet, tightly attracting their attention.

In this era, alchemists are even more likely to make girls fall in love than princes in fairy tales. From this, we can see what kind of noble status the alchemists hold in this continent where fighting spirit is revered.

In the city, the excitement and passion overflowed, washing away the rather rigorous and solemn atmosphere of the imperial capital. Feeling this passion in the city, Xiao Yan's calm heart also quietly accelerated a little.

, No matter how outstanding his concentration is, he is still just a young man. As long as he is a young man, there is a bit of frivolity and unrulyness in his heart. The most enviable thing about young people is his energetic struggle.

Be successful and persevere.

Slowly walking towards the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan's eyes occasionally glanced at the alchemists passing by, and he murmured with some surprise in his heart: "It seems that the attraction of this conference is really not weak.

Not only the alchemists from their own country came in droves, but also from other countries. I wonder if a dark horse from other countries will suddenly appear during the conference... In that case, it would be a bit fun.

.”

Xiao Yan was thinking maliciously in his heart, but he didn't show any of it on his face. He walked slowly through a few streets, looked up at the ancient guild standing at the end of his sight, let out a breath, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yan.

Hai Bodong followed leisurely behind, then raised his legs and walked towards the guild.

Approaching the guild and seeing that the guild entrance was almost blocked, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shook his head, raised his hand to Hai Bodong behind him, ducked and squeezed into the crowd, his body was like a fish swimming in the sea, weird

shuttled.

After being trained by Yao Lao on his dodge ability in the Warcraft Mountains, it saved Xiao Yan a lot of trouble in this situation.

Shifting his body sideways to dodge the people in front of him, Xiao Yan stepped forward and finally entered the guild's gate. He breathed a long sigh of relief and turned around to look, only to see Hai Bodong squinting his eyes slightly.

, like sleepwalking, following closely behind him.

"As expected of a powerful Dou Huang, I was not even aware of him accompanying me at such a close distance..." With a secret sigh of admiration, Xiao Yan walked into the guild, walked around the hall, and then prepared to enter the East District. However, just now

Going up the stairs, he happened to bump into Otto and the others who were coming downstairs. When they met each other, they were all stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"Come with me, little guy, the conference will be held not at the Alchemist Guild..." Otto patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, and said hello to Frank and Xuemei, who were standing beside him.

"Little guy, our Black Rock City Guild depends on you this time. Don't lose to Liu Ling and the others." Frank said with a smile. After the last internal test, now he is really good at Xiao Yan.

Full of confidence.

"Haha, I'll try my best."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and suddenly saw Otto staring at Hai Bodong behind him in surprise, and introduced: "Master Otto, this is my friend, Hai Bodong..."

"Oh...hehe, hello, Black Rock City Otto, Frank..." smiled and nodded. Because Haibodong had lived in seclusion for decades, Otto and Frank were not too fond of the name Haibodong.

Familiar, but vaguely feel that the name is familiar. However, although they do not know the exact details of the other party, after all, Otto and Frank are also strong men at the spirit fighting level. Moreover, because they are alchemists, their soul power is stronger than those of the same level.

He is much stronger, so in the perception of his soul, he can vaguely detect some profound aspects of the old man in front of him, and he does not dare to be too negligent at the moment.

"Yes." In response to the politeness of the two people, Hai Bodong just nodded lightly. His calm look made the two of them stunned, while Lin Fei, who had always been unable to see the sand in her eyes, had a pretty look on her face.

He glared and wanted to yell, but Otto quickly caught him with quick eyes and hands.

"I'm sorry, two masters. This is how Mr. Hai's temperament is, and he has no intention of targeting you." Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, and Xiao Yan could only smile to smooth things over. Fortunately, Otto and the others did not have any objections to this.

Concerned, he smiled casually and changed the topic. The group of people walked out of the hall chatting and laughing. Then, under the leadership of Otto, they walked out of the back door of the guild and walked all the way to the center of the city in the south.

"This time the conference will be held in the Royal Plaza. The area there is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, which can fully provide the scale required for this conference." Walking on the street, Otto explained with a smile: "After the preliminary

According to statistics, there should be more than two thousand alchemists participating in this conference, which is the largest number of people in these conferences."

"More than two thousand people..." This number made Xiao Yan speechless. You must know that the conditions for the formation of an alchemist are extremely harsh. It is probably not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a thousand, or even one in a thousand.

Now, these two thousand people must have gathered more than half of the alchemists in the Gama Empire, right?

"The conference will be divided into several rounds of assessments. In each assessment, many people will be screened out, and the more you pass, the more difficult the assessment will be. The one who can finally stay will be the final champion..."

"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, thinking of more than two thousand people setting fire to make elixirs in the same square, Xiao Yan was a little excited. The spectacular appearance was probably extremely shocking.

While he was talking, the Royal Plaza that Otto mentioned gradually appeared in his sight. Xiao Yan looked around and found that wherever he could see, he could only see the tip of the huge iceberg in the square.

Outside the square at this time, there were heavily armed troops stationed here to maintain order. This kind of meeting gathered countless strong people from all directions. If a riot broke out, the imperial capital would suffer a huge impact. Therefore, the Gama royal family

This is very careful.

At the entrance of the square, there are inspectors from the Alchemist Guild. Only members of the guild and those participating in the competition can enter. As for the audience seats, there is another entrance.

With Otto's leadership, Xiao Yan and the others entered the square without any hindrance, walked through a high slope to enter, and then, the square as huge as a Big Mac was finally fully revealed to Xiao Yan.

in sight.

Standing on the top of the slope, Xiao Yan looked at the ridiculously huge bluestone square and couldn't help but shake his head in admiration.

The square is shaped into a circle. On both sides of the square, there are countless seats, which must be the auditorium. Opposite the auditorium, those VIP chairs with obviously much more luxurious decoration are specially designed for high-level guilds and the imperial capital.

Prepared by the leaders of those big forces.

Scanning the spacious square, Xiao Yan discovered that there were thousands of bluestone square dais neatly distributed in it. These square dais were scattered and arranged very neatly. At a glance, they seemed to be standing still.

The bluestone army is general.

In the square at this time, there were already many alchemists participating in the competition. They were sitting quietly on the stone chairs behind the bluestone square platform, waiting for the competition time to come. And as time went by, more and more people

The alchemists poured out of the passage, and then looked for their position according to the test cards they received.

Otto looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Let's go to the VIP seats first. It's still some time before the conference starts. You can still meet some important people there, which may be useful to you."

"Hmm." Last night, even the guardian of the royal family, the mysterious Jia Lao, Xiao Yan had already met. Therefore, he was somewhat hesitant about the heavyweight figure mentioned by Otto. However, it was still early at this time, so he

He also nodded casually.

Seeing no one objected, Otto and Frank took the lead and led a few people towards the VIP seats. When they were about to enter the VIP area, he suddenly pointed to the front row, where a row of people had already sat down.

, among which Chemir, the vice-president of the Alchemist Guild, also sat among them. Next to him, sat an old man wearing a purple Alchemist robe.

"That is Lord Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire. He rarely appears in the guild. Now, I heard that he is about to enter the level of a sixth-grade alchemist. In the alchemy world of the Jiama Empire, he rarely appears in the guild.
To be continued...
