With Tiandu Ling Mansion as the center, the territories of the four major families, Ji, Xu, Wang, and Lin, occupy the four directions of southeast, northwest, and other families spread out in a ring.
In addition to this, there are the clan sects affiliated to the four major families and the Tianduling Mansion. They are also regarded as the pawns and swords of the Tianduling Mansion and the four major families.
Going further outside is the territory of Tianduling Mansion, which is actually a dynasty. All the towns and villages there are under the control of Tianturing Mansion. Only a few clan forces and the two major associations of alchemy and weapon refining are independent and uncontrolled.
Tianhua City is also under the jurisdiction of Tiandu Ling Mansion, but because there are the headquarters of the two major alchemy and weapon refining associations in the city, it is more liberal than other towns. Some of the rules in other towns are banned in Tianhua City. It was replaced by the rules of the two major associations.
But the liveliness and prosperity of Tianhua City has never subsided. In addition to alchemists and weapon refiners, there is an endless stream of merchants and customers who want to buy elixirs and spiritual weapons.
In addition, the alchemy conference held by the Alchemist Association only every five years is approaching.
Tianhua City can be said to be very lively these days, and the streets and alleys are full of people going to and from the city.
Most of these people are here for the alchemy conference.
Because just a few days ago, the Alchemist Association stated that this alchemy conference will be led by the president of the Alchemist Association headquarters "Mu Tianqing" and the four vice presidents "Sun Miaosi", "Xu Sanchuan", "Jin You" "For", "Dong Tiancheng" personally acted as the judge. At the same time, the rewards prepared for the winners in the past have also been improved, and even sixth-grade elixirs that are rare in the headquarters of the Alchemist Association appeared.
Mu Tianqing, the president of the Alchemist Association Headquarters, has always been a divine dragon. It is rumored that he is already a seventh-grade alchemist. There are even rumors that he has refined an eighth-grade elixir. Countless people in the world want to I want to see the true face of Lushan Mountain.
Compared to Mu Tianqing, who was an illusory existence in everyone's eyes, the sixth-grade elixir, a rare and rare elixir that had already appeared before, was even more attractive.
Almost everyone wants to know what kind of sixth-grade elixir the Alchemist Association will give.
It is even more attractive to the alchemists who participate in the alchemy conference, because most of the people participating in the alchemy conference are young alchemists of the second and third grades. They will get the opportunity to move up in this unprecedented alchemy conference. , if you are favored by the president or vice-president of the Alchemist Association, you will be soaring to the sky.
"Hey, have you all heard? The grandson of Xu Sanchuan, the vice president of the Alchemist Association, that annoying Xu Weidong has become a third-grade alchemist!"
"Not only this news, I also heard that the little princess Zhongli Jiangnan from the Zhongli Dynasty who was accepted as a disciple by Master Sun Miaosi has also been promoted to a third-level alchemist. It is said that she was in front of the president of the Alchemist Association. Refined third-grade elixir."
"Coupled with the alchemists coming from all over the country, it seems that this alchemy conference will be a good show."
There is an inn in Tianhua City.
Whether it was in the lobby of the inn, on the second floor, or in every private room, there were voices talking about the alchemy conference.
The ones talked about the most are Xu Weidong and Zhongli Jiangnan.
After all, one of these two people is the favorite little princess of the current emperor of the Zhongli Dynasty, one of the four great dynasties in the mainland, and the other has a fifth-grade alchemist grandfather who is the vice president of the Alchemist Association.
The identities of these two people are not simple, but they are also the topics that everyone is most happy to talk about.
At this time.
Some guests who had drank to become emboldened shouted: "Only that Xu Weidong can be promoted to a third-grade alchemist? Why do I remember that guy has been stuck at the first-grade alchemist level for several years and finally became a second-grade alchemist?" .”
Other guests who had also drunk also agreed: "That's right! That guy named Xu Weidong runs to Yichun Tower every day and lies on the bellies of those women every day. I don't believe he can do it in a short time." In just a few months, he became a third-grade alchemist."
"Shhh!" There were also sober guests who knew Xu Weidong's character and style, and immediately warned: "You guys are really not afraid of death. If Xu Weidong hears it, you guys will be in trouble!"
"Well said!"
Sudden.
A high-pitched and confident voice reached the ears of everyone in the inn.
As soon as one of the guests turned his head and saw clearly the appearance of the person who just spoke, he sat limply on the ground.
Those drunk guests were so frightened that they woke up and were so trembling that they did not dare to look at each other's faces.
"What's going on? Didn't you scream so joyfully and arrogantly just now?"
The person who came was none other than Xu Weidongming, who was discussed by countless people.
Accompanied by several guards, he walked up to the people who had just drank and emboldened him to say bad things. He bent down and looked down at their frightened faces. He chuckled and said, "I, Xu Weidong, am not a savage beast. Why did you see me?" Instead, you dare not speak? Do you look down on me, Xu Weidong?"
"come!"
"Catch all these people and slap them one by one!"
"stop!"
Just when the guards next to Xu Weidong were about to step forward and slap the people who had just spoken without blocking their words, they were wearing a cyan top and skirt, with a pink and purple belt around their waist to tie up their slender waist, and just applied a little pink and white. It was the stunningly beautiful Zhongli Jiangnan who walked into Youjian Inn with his teacher Sun Miaosi, and spoke to stop Xu Weidong's guards from arresting him.
"I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be Miss Zhongli Jiangnan."
Xu Weidong, who immediately changed his face when he saw Zhongli Jiangnan, walked forward with eyes full of flattery, smiled slightly and said: "Since Miss Zhongli Jiangnan is not happy to see her, let's forget about it."
"Hurry up and let me go!"
After lightly shouting and asking the guards to release all the captured guests, Xu Weidong turned around and continued to say to Zhongli Jiangnan with a smile: "I heard that Miss Zhongli Jiangnan was promoted to a third-grade alchemist not long ago. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. ! Why don't you let me be the host and invite Miss Zhongli Jiangnan and Master Sun to have a good meal at this inn? In the future, I will invite Miss Zhongli Jiangnan alone to the Xu Mansion to celebrate your birthday?"
"hehe···"
Zhongli Jiangnan was unmoved by Xu Weidong's flattery, but took Sun Miaosi to find the shopkeeper of Youjian Inn.
In this alchemy conference, alchemists who are serious about the association will basically stay in an inn that cooperates with the association. At the same time, these alchemists who stay will also leave their names on the innkeeper.
This is done firstly because all the spiritual stones spent by the association-certified alchemists staying in an inn are paid for by the association, and secondly, it is to make it easier for the association to find people.
"The shopkeeper." Zhongli Jiangnan asked, "Do you remember if someone named Su You came to stay at your inn recently?"
"Su You...please wait a moment, girl, I'll look for you."
Hearing what Zhongli Jiangnan said, the innkeeper quickly opened the recently recorded check-in list and quickly found the name Su You. Then he handed the list to Zhongli Jiangnan and said, "This Su You was with a person one day ago. There was an inn where the woman named Jiang Nuer stayed together, but the woman with the veil on her face was not an alchemist. The young man named Su You took out a fourth-level alchemist token certified by the association. "
"What did you say? Fourth-grade alchemist?"
Before Zhongli Jiangnan could react, Xu Weidong rushed forward with disbelief and asked the innkeeper with a ferocious face: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? That guy is eighteen years old. How could he be a fourth-grade alchemist at his age?"
A pair of wide-open eyes were already bloodshot and filled with strong murderous intent.
Xu Weidong gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that Su You would actually come, and he had already checked into an inn yesterday.
What was even more difficult for him to accept was Su You's alchemist level.
So he repeatedly checked with the innkeeper.
Due to Xu Weidong's identity, the innkeeper had to confirm again and again that he was absolutely right. The token that Su You repeated was indeed a fourth-grade alchemist's token certified by the Alchemist Association headquarters.
"No, no, that's impossible!"
Xu Weidong felt a little dizzy, and immediately let the guards support him and left the inn as if he was running away.
Zhongli Jiangnan, after returning the roster to the innkeeper, said to his teacher Sun Miaosi: "Teacher, is this true?"
She didn't believe it when she said it. She had seen with her own eyes the troubles countless third-level alchemists encountered when refining fourth-level elixirs. Even she, who had always been known as having an excellent talent in alchemy, had no idea about refining. There is no certainty about the fourth-grade elixir.
Sun Miaosi first took his apprentice out of Youjian Inn, and then mentioned it to him: "I remember a month or two ago, the Metallurgical City Alchemist Association sent a letter and a fourth-grade crystal of perfect quality. The Qingxin Mingshen Pill was said to be used to refine the fourth-grade Qingxin Mingshen Pill. A man named Su You who also possessed a fifth-grade strange fire was certified as a fourth-grade alchemist. It also came with a secret photographic stone. "
"The person responsible for checking the authenticity at that time was not the teacher, but the two vice presidents Jin Youwei and Dong Tiancheng."
"But since both of them are named Su You, it proves that this thing is true. The little guy named Su You really became a fourth-grade alchemist in just a few months."
After saying that, even Sun Miaosi couldn't help but sigh aloud: "It's true that the younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared..."
"Hmph! So what?"
Hearing this, Zhongli Jiangnan did not give up. Instead, he clenched his fists with high fighting spirit and said loudly: "I will definitely defeat him personally in the alchemy conference! Prove that I, Zhongli Jiangnan, am the most powerful!"
