Chapter 152 Xuan Kongzi
The Alchemy Appraisal Conference, because its scale cannot be compared with the Alchemy Conference, cannot attract those real old monsters.
In the absence of an eighth-grade alchemist, a seventh-grade alchemist is already someone that others need to look up to.
Just today, in the southwest arena, a young man who is not even 20 years old and can master strange fire and refine seventh-grade elixirs appeared. This news quickly swept across the entire Dan City like a gust of wind.
Countless people were dumbfounded. After that day, the doorstep of the inn where Xu Haoyu, Zi Yan and others stayed was almost broken down.
They were all sent by various forces, large and small, who wanted to get to know or even win over Xu Haoyu. It was hard not to be attracted by such a young seventh-grade alchemist.
However, Xu Haoyu was not interested in them. None of the people who came to him now were truly first-class forces.
In order to politely and tactfully reject them, Xu Haoyu directly announced to the public that he had to prepare for the upcoming finals and could not accept visits for the time being.
This reason is irrefutable. Others are preparing for the competition, and you insist on visiting them. How presumptuous.
Therefore, many people return home with regret.
After two days, the preliminaries of the eight venues finally came to an end. The top 50 in each venue entered the finals. A total of 400 alchemists entered the finals in the eight venues.
On the same day, Danta made public the list of 400 alchemists and officially announced that the finals would be held three days later at the northern arena.
If the preliminaries were about refining pills based on the questions, then the finals were about complete free play.
Every alchemist can refine the elixir that he is best at. The final ranking of those who successfully refine the elixir will be determined based on the grade, quality, and color of the elixir.
At that time, the final will be hosted by Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of Danta.
The three giants of Danta, Xuankongzi, Xuanyi and Tianleizi, are all at the peak of Dou Zun. They are also the peak eighth-grade alchemists and the apparent leaders of Danta.
These three people are of noble status, and they will definitely not appear at the same time in an elixir appraisal conference. Therefore, one of them will take turns to host it each time.
But this is surprising enough. If one of the three giants of Danta notices him, his future success is just around the corner.
Not to mention, the final champion of the Alchemy Appraisal Conference can freely choose a volume of soul skills. Unlike fighting skills that use fighting spirit, soul skills are techniques that maximize the power of the soul.
This is attractive enough, especially for those alchemists with outstanding soul power.
Xu Haoyu became interested, so in the last three days, he repeatedly familiarized himself with every step of refining the Growing Bone and Melting Blood Pill. He wanted to refine the Growing Bone and Melting Blood Pill to save his life, and also to inject spiritual energy into it to refine it into an eighth-grade pill, which would make a big splash and shake Zhongzhou.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed and the final of the Dan Jue Conference finally arrived.
The weather is clear and cloudless, it is a good day. The finals are about to begin. Even if it is not good weather, it will become good weather. A Dou Zun strongman can take action and forcibly change the weather on a large scale.
The North Arena was already packed with people. Some people even transformed their fighting spirit into wings, and some stood in the air. The arena was completely packed with people just to watch the game. After Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan arrived, a staff member immediately took Xu Haoyu to the arena and found a seat for Zi Yan.
After becoming famous, the treatment is different, and the staff all have a look of respect on their faces.
Standing on his own stage, Xu Haoyu looked around casually. Suddenly, he felt himself being stared at by a fiery gaze, which made him look over in confusion.
It turned out that the person staring at him was a little girl in red, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pretty face. Although her figure was average, she was not very old after all and would probably grow taller in the future.
The little girl stared at him with a fiery and fighting spirit. Xu Haoyu felt a little strange, but then he stopped paying attention to her.
At this time, the little girl found that Xu Haoyu didn't care about her. She gritted her teeth and vowed to defeat Xu Haoyu.
Her name is Cao Ying. She is from one of the five major families under the Danta. She is the proud daughter of the Cao family. When she was born, her soul power was so strong that it almost shocked her mother to death. This also destined her to be extraordinary.
He has been learning alchemy since he was young and officially became an alchemist at the age of seven. Now he is fourteen years old. He plans to become famous at the Alchemy Appraisal Conference and gain the attention of Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of Danta, so that he can join Danta as an inner disciple and further learn more advanced alchemy techniques.
But now, Xu Haoyu suddenly appeared and snatched away the attention that belonged to her, so Cao Ying wanted to defeat Xu Haoyu to prove herself.
Of course, Xu Haoyu didn't know all this. Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off. He didn't have time to play house with children.
Not long after, on top of a huge tower in the north, a white-haired old man wearing a white robe and an eighth-grade alchemist badge on his chest appeared on the terrace surrounded by many elders.
There is no need to guess, to know that this is Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of Danta. He looked around, especially staying on Xu Haoyu for a few seconds, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Xu Haoyu's information was reported to Xuan Kongzi after he refined the seventh-grade primary elixir "Instant Qi Pill". While he felt that this was really a monster, he was also curious about which old monster had trained this disciple.
Alchemist is a profession that places great emphasis on inheritance. Without a good teacher leading the way, no matter how talented one is, it is difficult to become a high-level alchemist through his own exploration.
Then, Xuan Kongzi retracted his gaze and said elegantly to everyone:
"Welcome everyone to the Danta's Danta Appraisal Conference. Today is the finals. All participants can refine the elixir they are best at. In the end, the ranking will be determined based on the level, quality, and color of the elixir. The champion can choose a scroll of soul skills."
"There is no point in saying more. I hope to see your wonderful performance today. Now, let's start refining the elixir."
As soon as these words were spoken, many alchemists on the stage immediately took action.
Some people took the medicine cauldron, some people took medicinal herbs, and then they each summoned flames.
The same was true for Xu Haoyu. After he summoned the strange fire, the scene of thousands of fires worshipping him appeared again.
The power of the strange fire is so terrifying!
The alchemists present and the audience around them all looked sideways. Even though they already knew that Xu Haoyu could control the strange fire, they were still amazed when they actually saw it.
