Fight back, pianist

Today is the most grand day in this city. Alchemists and casting masters from all over Odin will come here. Their purpose is not for the prizes brought by this award, but for the honor behind it.The winner will have the opportunity to represent Odin to participate in the entire continental competition organized by the Temple, and the strongest can become Noah's chief alchemist and alchemist.

As soon as An Yu and Gu Yan went out, they were taken aback by the fiery atmosphere on the street. The dwarves who usually huddled in their workshops and did not go out for a long time also ran to the street, and the characters of the four countries were hung on the restaurant. It read: Welcome to the Land of the Dwarves.

An Yu and Gu Yan lined up to buy some breakfast, but in the end they didn't even have a seat and could only eat standing up. They finished their breakfast in a bit of a mess. They wanted to set off for the competition venue. They were worried that they might not find a place, but they were When you really stand on the street, you will find that the flow of people will automatically push you towards your destination.

The guards in the city also came out to maintain order. An Yu found that the strength of the guards here was comparable to that of the imperial capital Shuicheng. The captain was actually a dwarf. The natural power of the dwarf made him swing a big hammer without any pressure. .He stood on the high platform and yelled to organize the order of the venue.The whole city is filled with a fiery atmosphere.

Ordinary spectators were blocked outside, and the participating alchemists and weapon refiners could enter by presenting the medals issued by the unified association, ready to accept the unified competition arrangement.

So, without a doubt, Gu Yan and An Yu were stopped outside.

"Gentlemen, please show your medals."

An Yu and Gu Yan looked at each other. Gu Yan, as an alchemist who had not received formal training but only comprehended himself according to the documents given by Yiweng, how could he have an alchemist's license.

"Sir, as long as one of you shows it, you will wake up. We stipulate that each alchemist can bring one or two followers."

An Yu and Gu Yan still had no intention of showing it. The etiquette staff looked at them suspiciously. Gu Yan asked embarrassedly, "Where is the trouble with the grade examination? I don't have a medal yet."

It seems to be a troublemaker, Miss Etiquette began to get a little impatient, but she still pointed Gu Yan in a direction due to the usual training and teaching, "That is the headquarters of the alchemist's examination, after taking the number at the door, there will be someone there Register for your exam."

An Yu and Gu Yan thanked each other, and actually walked in that direction. Miss Etiquette looked curiously, could it be that they were causing trouble?But if you go to the grade test now, there is only half an hour before the end of the entrance, and the number is taken and a pill that can pass is refined. I guess there is not enough time. It seems that the two of them are not very old. Not a guru.

Gu Yan came to the alchemist guild, the place in charge of the level test was very empty, if he really had the ability to test the level, he wouldn't wait until today to take the test, and he didn't queue up to get his own brand smoothly.

An old man was sitting in the examination place, took a look at Gu Yan, and said, "Just refine one that is easy for you, and then show it to me. If you pass it, you will be awarded a badge immediately."

An Yu stood beside, and Gu Yan took out his furnace cauldron confidently from the space, and instead of rushing to make alchemy, he asked, "Can anyone of any level participate in the outside competition?"

The old man shook his head casually, and stretched out three fingers, "Level [-], you can only participate if you can refine a elixir of level [-]. Young man, you only have half an hour to go. If the goal is outside the competition, I think you can give up." .”

Gu Yan smiled and said nothing, the flame rose in the cauldron, the old man was slightly surprised, although each alchemist's method of raising the fire and blending the pills was different, but this young man's method was so fast He didn't see it clearly at all.

Herbs were continuously taken out from the space, and then sent into the cauldron for fusion. The whole movement was smooth and smooth, without interruption, as if every step had been mastered by heart, and every situation and change was under control.

The reason why alchemy is so difficult, and why alchemists are called the most rare in the mainland, lies in his uncertainty and irremediable nature. One elixir, one heat, and the deviation of subtle materials will lead to the scrapping of the entire elixir. But the young man in front of him seemed to know everything in his chest.

In just a quarter of an hour, Gu Yan completed a pill. The servant put the pill on a plate and showed it to the old man. The old man put on gloves and took the pill from the plate. It is only level 2, but the number of extractions is twice that of ordinary level [-] elixirs, which is comparable to many tier [-] elixir, and the composition of the whole elixir is more refined.

The old man nodded, "Congratulations on passing."

The boy next to him bowed to Gu Yan, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Please come with me, I need to register, I want to give you the badge of the third level, and your information also needs to be entered .”

In the corridor, the boy seemed to be more relaxed after leaving the old man’s side. He turned his head and said to Gu Yan, “Your luck is also bad. The one just now is our president. He rarely comes out usually. One piece failed, little brother, you are very capable, I haven't seen him let go without criticizing such a good talker for a long time."

Gu Yan smiled, the speed of the boy was very fast, and after knowing that Gu Yan was in a hurry to participate in the competition, he directly gave the badge to Gu Yan, and then said that he would fill in the information, so when An Yu and Gu Yan met again When we arrived at the entrance of the game, there were still ten minutes left.

After showing their badges, Miss Etiquette showed complete surprise at the return of the two, but Gu Yan and An Yu obviously didn't have time to explain this, so they quickly entered the venue and drew their own numbers after arriving at the alchemist's venue.

The competition adopts an elimination system. If you lose one game, you will be eliminated. There are no first, second or third place, and some are only the only king. After a while, the organizer will allocate the numbers.

"Look, Master Feiyun is here, it seems like my trip was wasted again this time."

"Yeah, he was the representative last year, but it seems that he lost very badly later, in the temple competition."

"Then what can we do? Although our Odin is a master at refining weapons, we dare not compliment you two on alchemy. The overall strength is not good, and most of the masters have gone to serve the temple or other countries."

The middle-aged man who was being discussed had a slightly bad face. Last time in the temple, he really lost badly, but now he won't. After a year of hard training, he must enter the temple this time.

An Yu and Gu Yan ignored these gossips. Gu Yan was watching the rules and procedures of the competition. There is no time limit for alchemy, but there is only one chance. Once you fail, or the quality is lower than others, you will come out, but there is no time here. Restrictions, but it is estimated that the game will end soon.

For things like alchemy, except for Gu Yan, who is born with fire, other people will not be able to control fire as easily as their own hands. Then, the longer the time, the more uncertainties will appear, so I want to If you don't fail, you must complete the task quickly and accurately, surpassing your opponent.

The result of the lottery came out. Gu Yan was divided into the No.30 nine groups. Due to the large number of participants, it was divided into two competitions. It is a good thing that Gu Yan was in the second group. situation and process.

The first batch of games has started.First of all, the competition organizer will come up with a topic, which is random, and then you need to find the materials you need in a medicine garden, and then carry out alchemy, and finally the quality of the elixir obtained after local materials is used to determine the winner burden.

All the alchemists were busy, only one group had an accident, and there were people who abstained directly. An Yu and Gu Yan looked in that direction, and they turned out to be the middle-aged man they saw in the mine in the south of the city yesterday.The middle-aged man stood next to the abstainer and comforted him all the time. He cupped his hands and said to the people around him, "It's normal for young people to meet strong enemies. Don't blame everyone. If you abstain, just abstain."

It seems that they are saying good things for the person who abstained, but An Yu and Gu Yan feel that the meaning of fanning the flames is stronger, and they don't know if it is their illusion.

The first batch of questions is to replenish spiritual power, which is the most common question, and almost every alchemist will study it, but only those who do well can get high scores.

Gu Yan saw that many alchemists chose to crush the herbs before refining the medicine. This is a method he has never tried, and he does not understand it. Many spirit herbs lose their medicinal power after they leave the land. Once crushed, the potency of the medicine will be halved. Only by refining it directly can it retain more of its own medicinal properties.

Seeing Gu Yan's puzzled expression, the people beside him didn't mind explaining the confusion to Gu Yan, a "rookie". The pills are refined at a lower level, so you don’t have to worry about the failure rate, the higher the pills go, the harder it is to refine, and the more spiritual power you need.”

The man glanced at the badge on Gu Yan's chest, and said, "You are a third-level alchemist, and there are some problems that you can't consider. In the competition, especially this kind of competition where once you fail, you will be eliminated. The success rate of refining after smashing herbs increases, it shows that these people are refining high-level medicines."

Gu Yan nodded noncommittally.Continue to watch the situation of the game.

Soon it was the second group's turn, and Gu Yan went to prepare. An Yu was not worried. If it hadn't been for the unlucky encounter with Fei Yun, there would be no suspense for Gu Yan's advancement. Sure enough, in the second group, Gu Yan Defeat the opponent with a fourth-level elixir and get a place to advance.

In the subsequent competition, Gu Yan seemed to be able to handle it with ease. Many people on Feiyun's side had already abstained when they met him. Gu Yan, as a dark horse that no one thought of, made it all the way to the finals.

The surrounding area was full of people. I heard that the refining machine had ended for a long time. Everyone gathered around to watch the final match of the alchemist. There was no doubt that last year's champion, Master Feiyun, entered the final, but The other one is too young, it seems that he is still at the age of going to school.

The host left the stage, and he first introduced Master Feiyun, "I believe everyone is familiar with Master Feiyun, he was our champion last time, representing Odin, and this year's opponent is actually A young man in his twenties, and an alchemist who has just successfully registered today, his name is Gu Yan. We welcome both sides to fight."

Surprised, I didn't expect that the young man who made it to the end was only 20 years old. Even if he lost here today, his future prospects are limitless, and the alchemist who just registered may be someone who came out of some hidden world up.

Gu Yan walked up to the stage, Fei Yun took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "I didn't expect you to come here, congratulations, but you can only stop here, keep working hard next time."

Gu Yan shook it, and then said with a smile, "Master, you have to be careful too. After all, you are old, and it is understandable for you to be overtaken by young people accidentally."

The audience in the audience couldn't hear what was being said, but seeing Fei Yun's blushing but speechless expression, they couldn't help being even more curious about this young man.

"Then start now, the last round of test questions is—resurrection!!"

"If there are any materials needed during the refining process of the elixir, the organizer will do its best to provide them. There is no time limit, no limit on materials, and the most refined elixir will win the battle, so start now!"

An old man under the stage was sitting in a wheelchair, and the attendant next to him was pushing the wheelchair and said, "Master, is this the person who came for the assessment today?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, most people here, including Fei Yun himself, think that the winner belongs to him, but who knows the real result."
