Chapter 149 The conference begins
The next day!
Xu Haoyu took Zi Yan on a stroll around Dan City. Seeing alchemists wearing alchemist robes everywhere in the streets and alleys, he couldn't help but sigh at the appeal of Dan Tower among the alchemist community.
The Alchemy Appraisal Conference, which is held only once every three years, is able to attract so many alchemists.
Not long after, they found a branch tower in Dan City. Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan stopped wandering around and went into the branch tower.
After entering the hall, Xu Haoyu looked around and saw a sign outside a room. On the sign was written the Sixth Registration Office for the Alchemy Appraisal Conference.
Xu Haoyu greeted Zi Yan, then walked over and pushed the door open.
The room looked very tidy. In addition to two rows of bookshelves, there was a long table in the middle. Behind the long table were two old men wearing alchemist robes.
They should be Danta's internal staff, specifically responsible for the registration for this Dan Appraisal Conference.
When the two saw Xu Haoyu coming in, their young face made them slightly stunned, but their good manners made them recover quickly and remain calm.
Then, one of the alchemists said:
"Young man, if you want to sign up for the Alchemy Appraisal Conference, please show us your alchemist badge. We welcome young people to come to the Alchemy Appraisal Conference to gain knowledge, but you must be at least a fourth-grade alchemist or above. I hope you understand."
Xu Haoyu nodded to show that he understood, and then he took out from his storage ring the seventh-grade alchemist badge that his teacher awarded him in the name of the president of the Tianxin Empire Alchemist Guild before he left for Zhongzhou.
After handing over the badge, one of the old men just took a look at it and stood up in shock. Then he looked at Xu Haoyu with a look of shock and disbelief on his face:
"Seventh-rank alchemist, a certification given by the Tianxin Empire Alchemist Guild. Young man, how old are you to be a seventh-rank alchemist?"
Hearing this, another old man also said seriously:
"Young man, you can't fake this. Once it's confirmed, you will be expelled from Dan City, and Dan Tower will never issue you the alchemist badge."
Xu Haoyu felt a little helpless. He was too young. With such a young face, it was hard for anyone to believe that he was a high-level alchemist.
But now he also has a way to prove himself. A gleam of divine light flashed across Xu Haoyu's eyes, and when he looked at the two old men again, they suddenly felt horrified.
This is the natural suppression of the souls in the spiritual realm against the souls below the spiritual realm. Xu Haoyu said:
"Two seniors, there are always some people in this world who are beyond common sense. As long as there is no problem with my badge, you can help me sign up."
The two old men looked at each other in shock. As elders of Danta, they naturally had first-class vision and knowledge. This was a genuine spiritual soul.
Now, even if they were unwilling to believe it, they had to believe it, because on the mainland, except for them, the alchemists, very few people had souls above the spiritual realm. Even among the alchemists, spiritual realm souls were extremely rare.
The two old men sat down again and began to register.
"Name?"
"Xu Haoyu."
"Age?" "Fifteen."
After Xu Haoyu finished speaking, the two old men were dumbfounded again. Even in their Danta, there was no such monster.
In the end, the two old men completed the registration and returned the alchemist badge to Xu Haoyu.
One of the elders said:
"Xu Haoyu, we still don't quite believe it, but your soul realm cannot be faked. I hope to see you prove yourself at the Alchemy Appraisal Conference."
"The preliminary round of the Alchemy Appraisal Conference will begin tomorrow. You registered at our sixth registration office and will be assigned to the southwest arena. The theme of your southwest arena is elixirs that quickly restore fighting spirit. Now that you have left, you can go and prepare the herbs."
"Tomorrow at the competition venue, the referees will select the top 50 contestants based on the level, quality, and color of the pills they have refined to participate in the finals."
After listening to this, Xu Haoyu nodded to indicate that he understood. He took an ID card representing his identity from another old man and said:
"I understand. Thank you both seniors for informing me. Zi Yan, let's go."
Then, Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan turned around and left the house, waiting until the two of them left the room.
The two old men behind the long table began to continue their conversation, and one of them said:
"At the age of fifteen, he is a seventh-rank alchemist and possesses a spirit realm soul. This is unbelievable to me. Do you want to report it?"
Another person replied:
"Don't worry, nothing has been confirmed yet. Anyway, at the Alchemy Appraisal Conference, whether this young man has real ability or not, everything will be revealed then!"
On the other side, Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan left the branch tower base.
Xu Haoyu searched through all his collections, looking for the right elixir for this refining, an elixir to restore fighting spirit. He had a third-grade Qi-recovering elixir, a fifth-grade Qi-repairing elixir, and...
Soon, Xu Haoyu took out a scroll. This scroll was one of the pile of pill recipe scrolls he had obtained from Yao Chen before.
Seventh-grade primary elixir, Instant Qi Pill!
It can restore all the Dou Qi of a Dou Zong expert in a very short period of time, and it can have a certain effect even for a Dou Zun expert.
Although it was only a preliminary round, it did not stop him from making a big deal of it. It was just the right time to let everyone know that he was a genuine seventh-grade alchemist, in order to prevent some blind clowns from taking advantage of his youth.
After opening the scroll, sticking it on his forehead, and studying the recipe inside, Xu Haoyu also knew which herbs were needed. He first looked through his own collection, picking and choosing, and found that there were still a few herbs missing.
So, Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan went to the Alchemist Trade Fair, walked around for a few rounds, and finally gathered all the medicinal materials, and they collected three sets at a time.
Although he felt that with his current spiritual state, there was no possibility of failure in refining a primary seventh-grade elixir, it was better to be prepared.
Back at the inn, Xu Haoyu repeatedly familiarized himself with the process of refining the Instant Qi Pill, the temperature of tempering the medicinal materials, and the method of fusing the essence of the medicinal materials...
Before I knew it, it was the next day. For a soul in the spiritual realm, I certainly wouldn't feel tired after not sleeping all night.
And after his simulated rehearsal yesterday, he believed that he could control every detail of refining the Instant Qi Pill.
At daybreak, the whole Dan City became bustling, because today was the preliminaries of the Dan Appraisal Conference. Both the contestants and other residents set out early and then went to the eight competition venues in an orderly manner: east, south, west, north, northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest.
Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan were also mixed in the crowd, heading to the Southwest Division where Xu Haoyu was competing in the preliminary round.
