NOVEL NEXT Chapter 81 Xun'er: Is the gap between him and me so big?
Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
In the past few days, the Jia Ma Imperial Capital has been very lively. The Alchemist Conference, held only once every few years, attracted countless spectators.
This confrontation between the alchemists really attracted everyone's attention.
However, the final result of the Alchemist Conference made many people in the Gama Empire dissatisfied and even very angry.
Because, the first winner of the competition was actually the alchemist of the Izumo Empire.
Such a result made the people of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild feel extremely humiliated, and the morale within the empire was also greatly dampened.
Because the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire have always been hostile countries, there have been constant wars and friction between the two countries.
Right now, at the alchemist conference held in the capital of the Jiama Empire, the first place was actually taken away by someone from the enemy country. How ridiculous.
The night after the conference, the lights came on in a hotel room in the Imperial Capital, but no sound was heard for a long time.
At this time, Xiao Yan was alone in the room, his brows furrowed and his expression a little depressed.
"It's true that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world... A girl younger than me actually has such a talent for refining medicine..."
Xiao Yan sighed in his heart. He also participated in this conference, but he only got third place. The second place was Princess Yaoyue.
Xiao Yan didn't react much to losing to the alchemist from the Izumo Empire. After all, that guy's real age was already very old.
However, Princess Yaoyue's strength made Xiao Yan have some doubts about his talent in refining medicine, which he had always been proud of.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the room. Xiao Yan cleared his throat, the frustrated look on his face disappeared, and said: "Please come in."
A jade hand slowly opened the door, and a familiar figure walked in.
Seeing that familiar pretty face, Xiao Yan felt relieved and had a smile on his face.
It turns out that the person coming is Xun'er.
"Brother Xiao Yan, how was your score today?"
Xun'er came over, sat down next to Xiao Yan, and asked with a smile.
"third!"
"The alchemist who hides his identity in the Izumo Empire is indeed very powerful. However, I didn't expect that the little girl trained by the Gama royal family would be so powerful in refining medicine. Could it be that Gu Fei's random advice is really that powerful? ?"
Xiao Yan touched his nose and said slightly depressed.
When he came to the imperial capital, he heard that Princess Yaoyue had received guidance from an alchemist named Gu Fei, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.
After all, he had only heard of the name Gu Fei not long ago, and he was not a famous senior.
But today, Princess Yaoyue's ability in refining medicine far exceeded his expectations.
It would be understandable if only the alchemist from the Izumo Empire defeated him, but he had practiced with Yao Lao for so long, how could he not be able to compete with Princess Yaoyue, or rather Gu Fei behind Princess Yaoyue?
At this time, Xiao Yan still didn’t know Gu Fei’s specific identity.
He only heard that Gu Fei was an extremely talented young man. He had appeared in the Imperial Capital a few months ago and had a sixth-level flying monster as a mount, which caused quite a stir.
He didn't know that Gu Fei's ability in refining medicine was so strong.
"Gu Fei?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er's eyes moved and her breathing stagnated.
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said softly: "It wouldn't be surprising if it was Gu Fei who guided it himself!"
Xun'er knew about Gu Fei's ability in refining medicine. At that time, he was already a seventh-grade alchemist in the ancient world. In terms of his attainments and talent in refining medicine, Gu Fei was ranked among the best in the entire ancient world.
Let alone a mere Jia Ma Empire?
"You know him?"
Xiao Yan listened to the tone of Xun'er's words and couldn't help but asked doubtfully.
"We know each other...but not very well!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Xun'er froze up and immediately chose to fool around quietly.
Subconsciously, she didn't want Xiao Yan to know that she had already been married once.
But seeing the doubts in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xun'er didn't panic, but thought of a way to change the subject.
She took out something from the ring and spread her palms in front of Xiao Yan.
An elixir with weak aura fluctuations, quietly blooming blue flowers, with a faint sheen on the petals.
This is another elixir that Xun'er found that can restore soul power after learning that the Seven Fantasy Green Spirit Saliva had been taken away by Gu Fei.
Xiao Yan's attention was finally diverted, and his eyes fell on this elixir.
Xun'er smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, this is a magical elixir that can restore soul power."
Xiao Yan's eyes were shocked.
Xun'er put it directly into his hand, and his eyes moved, feeling very grateful: "Xun'er, thank you!"
"Brother Xiao Yan, as long as Xun'er can help you, that's enough!"
Xiao Yan put away the elixir, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, emotions flowing quietly in their eyes.
Suddenly, the space in the room fluctuated.
Xun'er's eyes narrowed.
"Elder Nanhai!"
She quickly turned around and saw a very familiar old face.
Xun'er stood up nervously and quietly tried to block Xiao Yan behind him.
She knew that most of the elders of the ancient clan did not like Xiao Yan. Could it be that they came suddenly because they wanted to...
"..."
At this time, Xiao Yan, who was behind Xun'er, looked confused.
Because the sudden appearance of the old man put too much pressure on him. It felt like if the other party wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
"Xun'er, come back with me!"
The ancient elder who came here glanced at Xiao Yan with his old eyes, then fell on Xun'er and said meaningfully.
"I won't go back!"
Hearing the words to persuade her to go back again, Xun'er frowned and refused without hesitation.
She had just met Xiao Yan not long ago, so of course she couldn't bear to separate so soon.
Hearing this, the ancient clan elder frowned and glanced at Xiao Yan behind her.
"Xun'er, you have made no progress in your cultivation after leaving the ancient clan. Do you know that Gu Fei has already broken through to the realm of Dou Zun less than a year after leaving the ancient clan! Your performance really disappoints the clan leader and the elders of the clan. I’m disappointed. If it hadn’t been for the delay in your cultivation, we wouldn’t have taken this step to take you back!”
The elder sighed with a disappointed tone.
"Gu Fei broke through Douzun?"
Hearing the elder's words, Xun'er was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to react. His face was very surprised.
Obviously, the speed of Gu Fei's cultivation far exceeded her expectations.
"Is the gap between him and me already so big without realizing it?"
Xun'er's eyes were lowered, and he unconsciously remembered something that happened in the ancient world. His face showed some bitterness inadvertently, his teeth bit his red lower lip, and his fingertips unconsciously pinched into the palm of his hand.
However, she quickly recovered and her eyes returned to calm. Thinking of brother Xiao Yan behind her, she wanted to ask for mercy.
"Elder Nanhai, Xun'er is not unwilling to make progress... he will definitely work hard to practice in the future. Can you give me some more time?"
There was some pleading in her eyes and she frowned.
"So Gu Fei is a Dou Zun strongman? A Dou Zun strongman who is even more powerful than the Dou Zong strong man?"
On the side, Xiao Yan was also frightened while listening to the conversation between Xun'er and Gu Nanhai.
He is hard to see in the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Huang, or even Dou Wang.
To him now, the realm of Dou Zun is as far out of reach as a legend.
