The Battle Through Heaven

The Battle Through Heaven
Fa Ma, Yao Ye's. The Akbar Meeting Begins!


The next day, there were no clouds in the blue sky for tens of thousands of kilometers. The sun is warm, but not dominating. The occasional breeze blowing eliminated the noise within the city, causing one to feel extremely refreshed.


Today there was a big event within the Jia Ma Empire. The Great Meeting of Alchemists will begin today.


As the first sunlight broke through the boundary of the ground and illuminated the city that had a rich history, groups of human figures in long alchemist robes began to appear on the desolate streets.


People who have these highly respected jobs are usually rarely seen en masse. Due to their great strength and their unrivalled importance, alchemists seemed rather mysterious and respected in the hearts of ordinary people. Today, these high-status alchemists were like ants leaving their nests, repeatedly coming out of various resting places in the capital. Although the path they took was different, their ultimate goal was the ancient alchemist association standing in the middle of the city.


Today, all the shops in the Jia Ma Holy City opened earlier than usual. Many people who came down from their warm beds, stood at the door and looked at the large group of alchemists who were busy on the streets. Their gazes were filled with heat and respect.


This gathering of Great Alchemists for a few days would be the most lively and fiery period in Jia Ma Holy City throughout the year…


The alchemists who were usually rarely seen, came out from all directions today and appeared on a scale similar to military units. This kind of majestic scenery was something that people were only fortunate to see during the Grand Meeting Alchemist …


On this special day, Xiao Yan also woke up very early. He sat cross-legged on the bed and quietly reorganized his condition for an hour. As his body had already reached its peak state, he finally slowly opened his eyes.


Xiao Yan lazily twisted his body. He heard some crackling sounds inside his body. With a slight smile, he got off the bed and walked out of the inner hall. At a glance, he looked at Hai Bo Dong who was at the side of the window.


“You're awake? Today the number of alchemists appearing in the Jia Ma Holy City would likely reach a frightening amount. It is well worth being a Grand Meeting Alchemist. Only this kind of grand event could summon all the alchemists within the empire. " Hi Bo Dong's gaze stared at the street where the alchemist repeatedly flashed. He could not help but click his tongue and praise.


“Alchemists are also human. They also needed honor and approval.This Great Meeting of Alchemists would be their best stage. ” Xiao Yan poured himself a cup of tea, took a slight sip and said with a faint smile.


Hai Bo Dong turned his body, looked at Xiao Yan, with a smile he asked, “Actually, I am very curious. With your abilities, you are actually thinking of participating in the Grand Meeting Alchemist. Although Grand Meetings like this are rarely encountered, but they are not in accordance with your abilities, right? ” Xiao Yan smiled, raised his teacup with both hands and said gently, “I have no choice. Who asked for this Grand Meeting Champion gift to be something that interests me. Drug formula ‘Pil Spirit Defrost’ it will be very useful for me … "


“While you are not an alchemist, I think you should also know what kind of alluring ability a medicinal formula has towards an alchemist. That tier six medicinal formula had an appeal that would not be lower than the Di Class Dou Technique … "


Hai Bo Dong helplessly shook his head, patted his lips and said, "With your ability, participating in this Grand Meeting is like a Dou Huang lunging into the competition arena of a group of Dou Zhe. "


“You really overestimated me..” Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said with a smile, “If it was before I showed you ‘Angry Buddha Lotus Flame’, please, becoming a Grand Meeting champion will be as easy as turning a hand. . Although, now.my spirit is broken and my strength is much weaker than before. And the most important thing when refining medicinal pills was Spiritual Strength. Therefore, I do not have absolute confidence to win the Grand Meeting that I participated in this time. "


“Uh... couldn't possibly be that serious right? If the alchemist grandmaster who could refine a tier six medicinal pill was truly defeated in this kind of competition with the younger generation, then .. "Hi Bo Dong's expression was strange as he looked at Xiao Yan and said.


“It would be very embarrassing, right?”


Xiao Yan smiled and continued. He stood up and said, "If I don't even have the slightest bit of this mental fortitude, then how am I going to go and pursue such a long alchemist path?"


“Alright, it's almost time. Let's go... ”Xiao Yan put down his teacup. He smiled, turned around and walked out the door. Behind him, Hai Bo Dong helplessly shook his head and could only follow.


They came out of the room and went down the stairs. The tier two alchemist robe on Xiao Yan's body attracted many eyes, but Xiao Yan did not care much about these things. His gaze randomly swept across the few alchemists who passed through the door. After that, he slowly walked out.


As he walked down the street, the strange respectful gaze that was repeatedly shot at him caused Xiao Yan to pursed his lips. The corner of his mouth contained a slight smile.


On the two sides of the wide road, the young lady with a plump and slender figure laughed gently. They threw bashful gazes and worshipped towards the alchemists who were walking down the street. For the young women belonging to an age where they were filled with deceit and delusions, the mysterious and deep alchemist was like a magnet that caught their attention.


In this era, alchemists were easier to let young women fall in love than with the princes in fairy tales. From this, one could tell what kind of prestigious status an alchemist in the continent where Dou Qi was most respected was.


The city was filled with liveliness and enthusiasm, washing away the harsh and solemn aura until there was nothing left. Sensing the passion within the city, Xiao Yan's calm heart also quietly began to beat faster. No matter how incredible his mental strength was, he was still a young person. As long as one was young, his heart would become reckless and wild. The thing about young people that others envy, is that they fight vigorously, enduring tirelessly until they succeed.


Xiao Yan walked slowly towards the alchemist association. His gaze sometimes swept past the alchemists who passed by him. In his heart, he muttered in shock, “It seems like the people drawn by the Grand Meeting are not weak. Not only were the peak alchemists in the empire invaded, many from other countries had come. I wonder if there will be a dark horse from another country that might suddenly appear during the Grand Meeting .. if that is the case, then this will be a bit of fun. ”


Although Xiao Yan's heart was thinking such evil thoughts, his face did not reveal any of it on the surface. He slowly passed through several streets, raising his head and gazing at the ancient association standing at the end of his gaze. He let out a soft sigh, turned around and glanced at Hai Bo Dong who was casually following behind him. After which, he lifted his foot and walked towards the association.


After entering the association, Xiao Yan could not help but shake his head helplessly upon seeing the entrance of the association that seemed to have been blocked completely. He broke into the human crowd. His body was like a fish entering the sea, passing through the crowd in a strange way.


After undergoing Yao Lao's dodging ability training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan managed to save quite a lot of trouble in such a situation right now.


As his body slightly swayed, Xiao Yan arrived in front of the crowd and heaved a sigh of relief as he finally entered the front gate of the Alchemist Association. His disciple shriveled as he turned his head to look around and saw Hai Bo Dong, who looked as if he was sleeping while walking, following him up close.


"It is truly worthy of being a Dou Huang, accompanying me so closely yet I am still unable to detect it in the slightest …" Xiao Yan secretly admired him in his heart as he entered the Alchemist Association and walked around the hall. He was just about to enter the eastern zone when he actually met Ao Tuo and his group, who were shocked to see him. They immediately started laughing.


"Come with me, little boy, where the Grand Meeting is not within the Alchemist Association .." Ao Tuo said with a smile as he patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder.


Xiao Yan smiled and nodded as he greeted Frank as well as the two girls Xue and Mei.


“Little boy, this time our Black Rock City Association comes to see you. Make sure not to lose to that Liu Ling. ” Frank smiles and says. He had a lot of confidence in Xiao Yan since the previous internal tests.


"Hehe, I'll try."


Xiao Yan smiled. He suddenly saw Ao Tuo staring in surprise at Hai Bo Dong, and introduced, "Master Ao Tuo, This is my friend, Hai Bo Dong …"


“Oh... Ke Ke, how are you? Ao Tuo of Black Rock City, Frank.. ”Ao Tuo and Frank smile and nod. Since Hai Bo Dong had lived in isolation for decades, the two were not very familiar with Hai Bo Dong's name. They only vaguely felt that the name was a bit unfamiliar to the ears. Ao Tuo and Frank were from the Dou Ling class and as alchemists, their Spiritual Strength was much higher than the same class. Hence, despite not knowing the other party's background, they could vaguely sense with their Spiritual Perception that the old man before them had something profound and they did not dare to underestimate him.


"Yes." Yeah." Hai Bo Dong simply nodded softly at the polite etiquette of the two of them. His calm attitude caused the two of them to be confused. Ling Fei, who could not have the slightest imperfection in her eyes, widened her eyes and stared. Just as he was about to shout, he was quickly captured by Ao Tuo.


“I'm sorry two grandmasters, Old Hai's character is indeed like that. He has no intention of fighting you two. " Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. He could only smile a little and smooth things out. Fortunately, Ao Tuo and Frank were not too worried. They smiled and changed the subject. The group conversed and laughed as they walked out of the hall. With Ao Tuo leading the way, they walked out from the back door of the association and headed somewhere south of the city.


“The location of the Grand Meeting this time is the square of the Imperial Family. The size of the place could hold tens of thousands of people, and it completely filled the size required for this Grand Meeting. ” As they walked down the street, Ao Tuo smiled and explained, “After the initial estimate, there should have been more than two thousand people participating in this Grand Meeting. This was a larger number of participants compared to the previous few Great Meetings. ”


"More than two thousand people ..." This number caused Xiao Yan to suck his tongue involuntarily. It must be known that the requirements to become an alchemist are extremely harsh. To say that only one out of a thousand or even one out of ten thousand could become an alchemist was not an exaggeration. The two thousand people who were currently here were probably a collection of more than half of the alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire.


“Grand Meeting is divided into several rounds of exams. Each check will eliminate enough people. In the next round, the difficulty of the exam became much greater. The last man to survive will be the last champion … "


"Ah," Xiao Yan nodded his head slightly. Thinking about having more than two thousand people simultaneously raising fire and refining pills in the same open field, Xiao Yan felt a little excited. That spectacular way looks like it will be very thrilling.


While he was speaking, the imperial family square, which Ao Tuo mentioned earlier, gradually appeared before them. Xiao Yan raised his eyes and noticed. The edge of his vision could actually only see a small part of the large square.


Currently, there were heavily armed soldiers stationed outside the square to maintain order. This kind of Grand Meeting had gathered strong people from everywhere. In the event of a riot, the capital would take a huge hit. Therefore, the imperial family was very careful in maintaining order.


There was an inspector from the Alchemist Association stationed at the entrance of the square. Only people from associations and participants were allowed to enter from this entrance. The entrance to the audience seats was located somewhere else.


Under the leadership of Ao Tuo, Xiao Yan and the others did not face the slightest obstacle as they entered the square. After climbing the high slope to enter the square, that enormous open area was finally completely displayed in Xiao Yan's view.


Standing at the top of the slope, Xiao Yan looked at the large green stone square to the point of being ridiculous. He could not help but shake his head and praise.


The square is round in shape, with many chairs located on either side. It looks like it's a seat for the audience. Across the spectator seats, there were VIP seats decorated in a much more luxurious manner. This was specifically reserved for the upper echelon of associations and the great power's head.


As his gaze swept over the vast open ground, Xiao Yan discovered that the thousands of green stone square tables were actually placed openly and neatly inside. This square table is neatly spread out and placed very precisely. At a glance, they were like green stone military units standing still.


Currently, there were already quite a number of alchemists participating in the competition by sitting cross-legged on stone chairs behind the green stone table on the open ground. As time flowed, the closer to the initial time of the competition, the more alchemists clustered out of the path and looked for their seats according to the tag number they received.


Ao Tuo looked up at the sky with a smile and said, “Let's go to the VIP seats first. There is still time until the Grand Meeting. There, you can meet some important people who have significant power. It might be useful to you. ”


"Ah." Last night, Xiao Yan had even seen the imperial family's guardian, the mysterious Jia Lao. Therefore, he did not express his opinion about people who possessed significant power as Ao Tuo had mentioned. However, it was still too early at the moment so he nodded his head randomly.


Seeing no objections, Ao Tuo and Frank took the lead and led some of them towards the VIP seats. Just as they were about to enter the VIP section, Ao Tuo suddenly pointed to the front row. There were a few people sitting. Among them, there was the vice chairman of the Alchemist Association, Qie Mi Er. Beside him sat an old man wearing a purple-colored alchemist robe.


“It was the chairman of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Association, Lord Fa Ma. I have heard that right now he is about to step into the tier six alchemist level. In the alchemist world within the Jia Ma Empire, Master Fa Ma's reputation would be about the same when compared to Pill-King Gu He. Even when Gu He met Master Fa Ma, he must have been a little more polite. Back then, before Gu He had gained fame, Noble Fa Ma had given him a lot of attention. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the protector of Mr. Fa Ma. ”Ao Tuo said softly. Note: The master here is used as a respectful term


“Hey, I didn't expect the old man to be alive. These old things are more immortal than I thought. ”Hai Bo Dong narrowed his eyes as he stood beside Xiao Yan. When he heard Ao Tuo making an introduction, he suddenly raised his head. He glanced at the old man and said.


Oh?


Xiao Yan's brows twitched slightly. He looked at the dry bark of the tree like the face of the dying-looking old man. His gaze was a bit strange. From what he heard, this old man should have been the world leader of the alchemist Jia Ma Empire.


The old man with pale eyes seemed to have felt a focused gaze on him and suddenly turned his head. He turned his seemingly confused gaze to Xiao Yan's side. A friendly smile appeared on the dry skin on his face.


Seeing the old man turn his head, Ao Tuo and Frank hurriedly bowed and greeted. After which, they moved along the corridor and carefully walked to the front row. They spoke respectfully to the old man, “Master Fa Ma, it has been several years since we last met. You are still filled with the same power. "


“Ke Ke, this is Ao Tuo and Frank from Black Rock City, right? You two are pretty good. You actually became a tier four alchemist in these years. Your progress was quite fast.. ”The old man Fa Ma greeted swept a murky look at the two of them and laughed softly.


"This was all because of Lord Fa Ma's lecture last time." Ao Tuo each smiled and said.


“All I can talk about are some of my personal experiences. The most important thing is to rely on yourself. ”Fa Ma smiles and shakes his head. He suddenly turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan behind Ao Tuo. With a friendly smile, he said, “This little friend is definitely the one who obtained the best result during the association exam this time around, right? His name.it seemed to be called Yan Xiao. ”


"Chairman Fa Ma, this little one is Yan Xiao." Xiao Yan did not dare to underestimate a person whose reputation in the Alchemy world of the Jia Ma Empire was greater than Gu He. He leaned over and smiled as he replied.


“Haha, most of those heroes are from the young ones. At such an age, you can fix ‘Daun Spiritual Iron Black’ many times. I remember back then, Gu He, that boy did not have this kind of ability.. ”Fa Ma's voice was neither rushed nor slow. Although it was a little hoarse, it had a magic-like property that did not allow others to interrupt its words.


Xiao Yan calmly smiled, but did not continue to say anything about this topic.


Fa Ma smiled and looked at Xiao Yan, his gaze seemed to have a deeper meaning as he paused on that calm face for a while. Sensing his gaze, Xiao Yan suddenly felt worried. "He ... don't tell me that he has seen through this veiled appearance?"


Although Fa Ma's laughter caused the surrounding association elders to feel perplexed, Xiao Yan quietly sighed in relief. He looked at Fa Ma with gratitude.


“Che, parents who will not die. It seems like the longer you live, the more you like to talk. ”The sudden cold came up, causing the expression of everyone in the VIP seats to change drastically. The expression of Qie Mi Er, who was sitting at Fa Ma's side, sank as she shouted in a low voice, "Who is that?"


As this cold laughter rang, Xiao Yan helplessly sighed in his heart. Other than Hai Bo Dong who was behind him, who else would be this rude when he spoke?


That cold laughter also made Fa Ma confused. Quickly following which, however, he turned his gaze behind Xiao Yan and muttered, "This Qi ... this is ice cold ... don't tell me.. Old Man Ice?" When he said up to this point, more surprises appeared on his face.


“Hee hee, Old Man Fa, I don't think that you will still remember me. It was not easy.. ”The human figure behind Xiao Yan flashed. Hai Bo Dong slowly walked forward under the stunned gazes of Ao Tuo, Xue Mei and the others. He immediately sat down by Fa Ma's side and opened his mouth to laugh.


“You're not actually dead? Didn't Queen Medusa finally do that to you? ” Fa Ma was surprised as he looked at Hai Bo Dong by his side and could not help but ask.


"I'm luckily saved .." Hai Bo Dong clicked his lips. There was some fear left in her eyes as she sighed, “That woman..


“You really are a person with a difficult life. At least an old man like me would not be too lonely, ha ha.. ”The tree-like face of Fa Ma moved while laughing out loud.


Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the association elders who were initially unhappy with Hai Bo Dong's brazen words immediately shrank back. According to what Fa Ma said, this unknown old man was actually a great character who had a humble appearance.


Standing behind Ao Tuo, Ling Fei and Xue Mei were completely dumbfounded as they looked at Hai Bo Dong who was carelessly chatting with Fa Ma to pass the time. At this moment, they finally understood that this very ordinary-looking old man was actually a strong man hiding his skills.


“This person, why is all he is friends with are people of such a level?” The two girls exchanged glances before turning their strange gazes towards Xiao Yan at the side, who shook his head helplessly.


The familiarity between Hai Bo Dong and Fa Ma clearly made Ao Tuo and Frank surprised. Some time later, Ao Tuo, who had recovered, suddenly his expression slightly changed. She softly muttered, “Hai Bo Dong? Hi Bo Dong? The Ice Emperor of the Ten Strong back then .. seemed to be called by this name right? "


As he thought this in his heart, Ao Tuo tilted his head and exchanged glances with Frank. They could see the shock in each other's eyes. They did not expect that an antique-level person like this would still be alive. Moreover, his relationship with Xiao Yan did not seem simple …


"This little boy was hiding very deeply .." Just like Xue Mei and Ling Fei, Ao Tuo and Frank were also staring at Xiao Yan with strange eyes. In their hearts, they were not sure why a young man who had stepped into the alchemist world not too long ago could actually know such a powerful person.


Xiao Yan stood at the same spot and could only endure many strange gazes helplessly. He suddenly realized that Hai Bo Dong had said something to Fa Ma who once again turned towards him. The current Fa Ma frowned slightly as he turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, seemingly looking for something.


"Why?" Seeing Fa Ma's attitude, Hai Bo Dong asked in surprise. He had only mentioned that Xiao Yan's training talent was not bad, but he did not expect the other party to react this way.


"Haha, for some unknown reason, it seems like I felt the Qi of someone I had met before on young friend Yan Xiao …" Fa Ma coughed softly and said somewhat unconvinced.


Have you met before? Xiao Yan blinked his eyes. There was a change in her heart as she muttered, “Don't tell me she felt the presence of Queen Medusa?”


“Ke Ke, maybe I'm feeling wrong. When a person is old, he tends to be more hallucinating.. ”When Fa Ma feels again, he does not have the same feeling as before. Fa Ma shook his head in disappointment. She leaned back on the chair, looking a little dazed as she entered a trance while her memories were played …


Back then, when Fa Ma was young, he coincidentally met an old man, whose abilities were unfathomable, as he explored the continent. For some reason, the old man and Fa Ma stayed together for three days. During those three days, the old man casually shared some things to him. However, Fa Ma had benefited greatly from those things. By borrowing what the old man had taught him, the originally unknown Fa Ma returned to the Jia Ma Empire and advanced step by step until this stage today. It was also because he had reached this step that Fa Ma was increasingly aware of how frightening the mysterious old man's abilities were back then …


The faint Qi that he felt towards Xiao Yan a moment ago was very similar to that of the old man back then.


Since Xiao Yan was aware of being guilty, he did not dare to discuss this topic. However, just as he was about to change the topic, an old laugh sounded from the hallway in the middle of the chair, "Ke Ke, old man Hai, young friend Yan Xiao, you've come quite early."


Hearing that laughter, everyone turned to look. When they saw a white-haired old man wearing simple linen clothes, everyone was so shocked that they turned pale. In their hearts, they asked what wind was blowing today. Even this old demon came running around today …


The one who came naturally was Jia Lao, whom Xiao Yan met last night. Little Princess also followed from behind. Today, he was wearing a pale green alchemist robe that was clearly specially designed. Its arms were broad, with bright silk drawn around it to form a lotus shape. This gave him an elegance that came out of nowhere. However, Xiao Yan who clearly knew her character, understood that this young lady, who looked quiet on the surface, was actually a unique person.


As her gaze swept over the Little Princess, Xiao Yan discovered that beside her, there was a tall woman wearing a luxurious and brilliant dress. The face of this woman was similar to Little Princess but had ice that was not much different from Xue Mei. Moreover, under this cold weather, there was actually a majestic and imposing demeanor that was the affirmation of the imperial family.


Compared to the cute-looking Little Princess and small in size, there was a cold and mature aura seeping out from all over this woman's body. As her pretty eyes moved, temptation naturally appeared.


Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the two women and finally landed on Jia Lao. He bowed and greeted with a smile, "Jia Lao also arrived early."


Jia Lao smiled and stepped forward. He looked at Hai Bo Dong and Fa Ma before laughing out loud, “I didn't expect the three of us to still have a chance to get together. It's really destiny. "


“We do have some similarities.” Fa Ma smiled gently and said, “Satan Tua, I don't think that you will actually come to watch Grand Meeting. You don't really like this kind of competition. "


“I've lived there for decades. It is also nice to occasionally come out and take a look.. “Jia Lao smiled and turned her head towards Xiao Yan. After which, he pointed at the mature and cold woman behind him and said, “Little Friend, I think you already know Yue-er. This is Yue-er's older sister, Yao Ye. The security and order of the Great Meeting as well as the fifty thousand soldiers surrounding the Meeting were all under his control. "


Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt shock in his heart. He had not expected this ice-cold woman in front of him to actually possess such an ability. Fifty thousand soldiers. If it was handed to her, she would likely mess up the situation. However, the orderly and disciplined attitude of the soldiers at the front gate just now clearly showed that this woman could easily rule over them.


“Yao Ye, this is the young friend Yan Xiao whom I have mentioned to you. His ability is incredible. He is most likely the competitor with the most ability to snatch the champion position this time. " Jia Lao pointed at Xiao Yan and smiled as he said to the cold woman behind.


Hearing Jia Lao's evaluation, the Little Princess by the side shouted, secretly muttering something. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with Jia Lao's words.


"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Yan Xiao."


The ice lady's pretty eyes looked at Xiao Yan. She gracefully and naturally extended her hand and smiled. The moment he smiled caused some of the descendants of the noble clans around the VIP seats to become dazed. It was usually very difficult for them to see the usually cold Elder Princess treating people in such a manner.


"It's nice to meet you, Princess Yao Ye .." The other party's attitude was such that Xiao Yan could not find fault. He smiled and stretched out his hand and gently held that soft, seemingly boneless hand. He was secretly admiring in his heart, but on the surface, he let go just like that as he made contact. He did not let the other party feel unworthy.


“Hopefully Mr. Yan Xiao can get satisfactory results during the competition. When the time comes, Yao Ye will personally hold a banquet to celebrate his achievements, I hope that Master Yan Xiao will not refuse. " Yao Ye withdrew her hand and smiled as she said.


"This woman ... her method of binding people is really very acute ... she will most likely be someone very great in the future …" Xiao Yan smiled and nodded as his heart felt a little astonished. Even someone with his mental strength, his vigilance towards him had been greatly reduced with just a few sentences from Yao Ye during their initial contact.


Seeing Xiao Yan nod, Yao Ye retreated to the back of Jia Lao in satisfaction. With his character, he would not humble himself and befriend Xiao Yan to such an extent if his great-grandfather did not give this young man such a high evaluation.


"Although, if she really has the potential that great-grandfather described, then it's good for me to humble myself to befriend her.." Those pretty eyes swept across Xiao Yan's face, then it's good for me to humble myself to befriend her, which does not show much confusion from the beginning. Yao Ye was quite satisfied with his mental strength. It was rare to be able to maintain such composure in front of the upper echelons of the empire and strong people at peak level. At the very least, the descendants of the noble clan behind him had shrunk back and did not dare to approach him due to his status.


After having a little chat with Xiao Yan, Yao Ye bowed and greeted Fa Ma, Hai Bo Dong, and a few others. His perfect etiquette was difficult for one to find his fault; even someone like Hai Bo Dong had adopted a not-so-cold expression.


After the group greeted each other, they sat in the front row of the VIP seats. Whether intentional or not, Princess Yao Ye ended up sitting beside Xiao Yan. The faint fragrance of the female body floated up from the side, causing her to become slightly disturbed.


As the sun in the sky moved, the number of people in the VIP seats also increased. These people were mostly people who had power in the capital or his family. The audience seats across from them had long been crowded. The screams combined into bursts that shot towards the horizon.


Xiao Yan sat quietly on the chair with his eyes closed. A moment later, he suddenly felt some movement in the seats around him. Only then did he frown and turn to look at the source of the commotion.


The queue that entered the VIP section was quite large. The three great imperial clans arrived together. This type of lineup was likely something that no power within the Jia Ma Empire dared to look down on. The bigger reason for causing such a commotion, however, was Nalan Yanran and Ya Fei who were walking in the middle. The two women had different dispositions, but they were both extremely beautiful. When the two of them walked together, it naturally attracted a lot of eyes. No wonder the children of the noble clan in the back were so excited …


A group of people moved along the path until they arrived at the very front position before greeting the person they knew.


Borrowing time as they greeted each other, Xiao Yan's gaze swept over an unknown old man who was walking with Nalan Jie and Primer Tengshan. Following behind this old man was Mu Zhan. Hearing the way the two greeted each other, Xiao Yan also knew the identity of this old man. Mu Chen from the Mu clan, another Dou Wang …


After greeting the elders, Ya Fei quietly slipped to Xiao Yan's side and sat down. Smiling as pretty as a flower, she said, “Yan Xiao di-di. You should get good results this time. There are many people watching.. ”.


‘With Mr. Yan Xiao's ability, the result this time will naturally not be bad. Getting the top three should be something easy to do. " Nalan Yanran came to this side without anyone knowing when and smiled as he said.


Yao Ye, who was sitting beside Xiao Yan, saw Ya Fei and Nalan Yanran, two beautiful women whose appearance was not inferior to him, gathered around Xiao Yan. He was naturally very clear about the identities of these two women. Astonishment flashed across her pretty eyes as she calmly said in her heart, "This Yan Xiao may have an ordinary appearance, but it is really unexpected that she is very attractive to women … it seems like my great-grandfather is telling the truth. This Yan Xiao was clearly an attractive person with great potential. Otherwise, with Ya Fei's intelligence and Nalan Yanran's indifferent attitude, they would definitely not have spoken to her in such a manner.


The three beautiful women were all swarming around Xiao Yan's side. This undoubtedly caused some of the views in the VIP seats to become hot. The few youngsters who had imaginations about the three women clenched their teeth and stared intently at Xiao Yan. Their ways were like that as if Xiao Yan was their enemy who had killed their father.


Xiao Yan sighed and rubbed his head. The wave of fragrance that enveloped the tip of his nose caused Xiao Yan to intend to laugh bitterly. The numerous hot gazes behind him caused his back to feel pierced. Even he himself did not understand why these three women were swarming around him. What is the ridiculous comparative mentality about women?


Xiao Yan bitterly laughed in his heart. He was like an old monk meditating as he sat in a very straight stance, waiting for the time for the Grand Meeting to begin. In an instant, he suddenly frowned and turned his head, only to coincidentally see Liu Ling, who was sitting in the row behind, looking at him coldly. He was like a snake ready to bite.


Seeing that Xiao Yan had found his sight, or perhaps it was because the Grand Meeting was about to begin, Liu Ling did not bother to hide his thoughts. The corner of his mouth was raised into a cold smile. His hand was held horizontally and his middle finger was pointed towards the sky. His mouth wriggled, "I want to let you suffer a crushing defeat in front of Nalan Yanran!"


Xiao Yan smiled gently. He moved his lips slightly and immediately turned his head.


Liu Ling watched Xiao Yan's back in a dark and cold manner. He slowly sighed. A moment ago, he clearly understood the movements of Xiao Yan's lips.


“Let's see..”


……


As time went by, the time to start the Grand Meeting slowly arrived under tens of thousands of gazes…


When a clear bell rang out in the square, the noise that had shot up into the sky suddenly became silent …


Hearing the bell ringing in his ear, Fa Ma trembled slightly and stood up. After which, he slowly walked to the very front of the VIP seats. His gaze noticed the thousands of alchemists sitting behind the green table below. At this moment, over two thousand alchemists also raised their heads and cast respectful gazes towards this old man who had an extremely great reputation within the alchemist scene of the Jia Ma Empire.


“As chairman of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Association, I announce that the seventh Great Alchemist Meeting has begun!”


“Bang!”


The whole ground is boiling. Their happy cries stirred the sky.
