Chapter 816 Badge
In this case, my master actually went to the gate of the city to meet Xu Ziyan in person. What's going on? If this matter is known by the city lord, they will never let their masters and apprentices go while besieging Xu Ziyan, even if his masters are the only two middle-grade treasure masters in the refining city
Xiang Qi sat on the chair, the expression on his face kept changing. //If you don't listen to the master, according to the tone of the master just now, even if you don't beat yourself to death, you will definitely drive yourself out. But if Xiang Qi wanted to report to the city lord with his back to his master, Xiang Qi would not be able to do such a thing.
Xiang Qi stood up from his chair and paced back and forth. Frowning tightly, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of the reason why Master did this. With a long sigh, he thought to himself:
"Let's take one step at a time!"
Push open the door and walk along the passage to the corridor. Walked out of the corridor, looked around, but did not find Xu Ziyan. Walking forward along the corridor, after a short time, I found that Xu Ziyan and others were looking at the fence at this time, talking with each other there, and laughing happily from time to time.
Xiang Qi stabilized his emotions, raised his hands and rubbed his cheek vigorously, and when he put his hands down, his face was already full of sincere smiles, which made people feel like a spring breeze and felt close to him.
Walk slowly along the corridor, and finally stand beside Xu Ziyan and others, with both hands on the railing, pretending to appreciate the scenery.
At this time, Xu Ziyan was exchanging alchemy techniques with Han Feng, Han Qi and Feng Baichuan. And Xu Tianwei was respectfully asking Yanshan Soul for advice on the art of refining weapons.
Because Han Qi is a girl, Han Qi communicates with Xu Ziyan most of the time. Han Feng and Feng Baichuan listened attentively, occasionally interjecting a few words. With the deepening of the conversation, Xu Ziyan's erudite knowledge of alchemy shocked the three of Han Qi inexplicably.
Han Qi and Han Feng didn't know Xu Ziyan's real identity, so although they were shocked, they were only shocked by Xu Ziyan's profound alchemy skills, and felt admiration in their hearts. You must know that these two people are not ordinary monks, they are a pair of sons and daughters of Han Dan, the lord of the alchemy city, and they have been influenced by the art of alchemy since they were young, which can be described as a family tradition.
Han Feng is thirty-six years old this year and is already a fourth-rank alchemist. Han Qi is thirty-two years old but is also a third-rank alchemist. On the vast continent, this is definitely an outstanding figure in the alchemy world. However, today they have the same feeling in front of Xu Ziyan as they did when they faced their father. Xu Ziyan's erudition and profundity in alchemy made them feel ashamed.
While ashamed, the two are also guessing Xu Ziyan's age. Although they couldn't see Xu Ziyan's face at first, they guessed that Xu Ziyan's age was similar to their own.
However, now they are convinced by Xu Ziyan's alchemy, and the two people's thoughts are shaken.
Just imagine that a monk of their age would have the same alchemy skills as his father? Do not! Absolutely not! In this way, they regard Xu Ziyan as an old monster who has cultivated for hundreds of years in their hearts, and they are more respectful to Xu Ziyan in their demeanor.
However, Feng Baichuan standing aside knows Xu Ziyan's true identity. At this time, seeing Xu Ziyan's proficiency in alchemy, his heart was churning violently. With such an alchemy technique and such a grand master's bearing, how could he do such a dirty thing as robbery? In Feng Baichuan's heart, at this moment, he definitely thinks that Xu Ziyan is as innocent as the three major cities in this matter.
Naturally, he also saw that Xu Ziyan is now in the middle stage of transformation, and he still knows a little about Xu Ziyan. //In places like the three major cities, there is a detailed investigation of the influential figures on the vast continent. Feng Baichuan is the confidant of the lord of the Alchemy City, so naturally he has the right to read these materials.
Based on his understanding of Xu Ziyan, Xu Ziyan is no more than one or two years older than Han Feng. At such a young age, he has already cultivated in the middle stage of Huashen, and he clearly remembered that Xu Ziyan was in the early stage of Huashen in the records. That is to say, in just a few months, Xu Ziyan has raised his cultivation base from the early stage of Huashen to the middle stage of Huashen.
What kind of qualifications can do this! Moreover, Xu Ziyan has not put all his energy on cultivation, and he also has admirable attainments in alchemy. Although Feng Baichuan didn't see Xu Ziyan alchemy, but based on Xu Ziyan's views on alchemy, Feng Baichuan believed that Xu Ziyan was worse than the city lord, but not much worse.
After having an absolutely good impression of Xu Ziyan, Feng Baichuan's heart was also tangled. What he was struggling with was whether to tell Han Feng and Han Qi about Xu Ziyan's real identity. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to hide the matter temporarily. In his heart, Han Feng and Han Qi are still too young. If the two of them know Xu Ziyan's true identity, they will never pretend not to know, and will definitely show it in their expressions. Such a harmonious atmosphere with Xu Ziyan may be destroyed in an instant.
Everything is still waiting to be returned to the alchemy city, and then explain this matter to the city lord in detail. Since Xu Ziyan is not the murderer who robbed the three major cities, things here become complicated. I'm afraid someone is laying out a big conspiracy. In this conspiracy, Xu Ziyan is probably just a pawn, and the real goal of the conspirators is the three major cities.
Feng Baichuan was lost in thought there, but he saw that Han Qi took out a thumb-sized badge from the storage ring, which was shaped like a leaf and was green all over, but there were three golden threads on it. Put it on the palm of your hand, hand it to Xu Ziyan, and said proudly:
"Fairy Yunling, I'm already a third-rank alchemist! What rank are you?"
"What is this?" Xu Ziyan picked up the badge in Han Qi's hand, and put it in front of his eyes to study it carefully.
"You don't know what this is?" Han Qi asked in surprise.
"I don't know!" Xu Ziyan looked up at Han Qi and said, "Is it important?"
"This...this...is to prove the grade status of an alchemist. Without it, an alchemist would not be qualified to make alchemy." Han Qi said seriously:
"There is an alchemy alliance on the vast continent, which is located in the alchemy city. Every alchemist will go to the alchemy alliance to confirm the level, and the alchemy alliance will verify it, and then issue the level badge. After that, the alchemist will have the corresponding alchemy qualification."
Xu Ziyan was stunned when he heard it. To put it bluntly, this is a monopoly, not only monopolizing the knowledge of alchemy, but also monopolizing the resources of alchemy.
As long as you imagine a little bit, the Alchemy League will definitely open up corresponding alchemy techniques to alchemists who join the Alchemy League, and the corresponding alchemy resources will also be discounted. This will attract a large number of alchemists to testify there and obtain grade badges. Whether it's a sect, an aristocratic family, or even a casual cultivator, most of them will join the Alchemy League. In this way, the strength of the Alchemy Alliance is deeply intertwined, permeating all forces, presumably the same is true for the Artifact Refining City and Lingbao City. No wonder the three major cities have stood still for thousands of years.
Xu Ziyan, who understood everything, snatched a trace of sarcasm from the corner of his mouth: "Is there no qualification for alchemy without a grade badge?"
Han Qi froze for a moment, frowned slightly and said while thinking: "No, in some sects, aristocratic families, and even casual cultivators, there are some alchemists who did not go to the Alchemy League to testify. However, most alchemists will go It is confirmed. Because of this badge, other monks will know what grade that alchemist is, so others can ask the corresponding alchemist to make alchemy. If there is no grade badge, who knows how many grades of alchemy he will refine?"
Xu Ziyan was stunned, and said in his heart, this is something I didn't expect. Yes, with this grade badge, it really provides great convenience for those monks who are looking for alchemists to make alchemy.
"And..." Han Qi continued: "It is very difficult for an alchemist to upgrade a level. Once the level is improved, there will be an extra strand of gold on the badge. He will get a huge The reputation and corresponding training resources are also of great benefit to alchemists."
Xu Ziyan couldn't help nodding secretly, admiring the senior who came up with this idea very much. Fundamentally speaking, this is a kind of protection for alchemists, and it is a matter of mutual benefit. The alchemy alliance provides alchemists with a platform to become famous. Similarly, this alchemy alliance seems loose, but once something happens to the alchemy alliance, this seemingly loose alliance will explode with great power.
"Fairy Yunling, what level of alchemist are you?"
Xu Ziyan handed back the badge in his hand to Han Qi, and said with a smile: "I have not participated in the verification of the Alchemy League, so I am an unqualified alchemist."
Han Qi took the badge back to the storage ring, grabbed Xu Ziyan's arm with both hands and shook it and said:
"Fairy Yunling, you are bullying others. You know so much about alchemy, how can you be unqualified? If you go to the Alchemy League to prove it, everyone will be surprised."
Xu Ziyan shook her head with a smile, but said nothing. Han Qi rolled her eyeballs in her sockets, and suddenly jumped up and said:
"Fairy Yunling, anyway, you promised that I will go to the alchemy city to participate in the alchemy competition in half a year. At that time, all the alchemists who advance will be awarded a grade badge by the alchemy alliance. By then, Qi'er will know what level of alchemist you are .”
When Xu Ziyan heard what Han Qi said, he also looked forward to the alchemy competition. They chatted happily here, and on the other side, Xiang Qi also merged into the conversation between Yan Shanhun and Xu Tianwei. Xiangqi's temperament is really good, the Taoist robe is very clean and tidy, his hair is not tied up, but loosened, he looks like a fairy, and there is a sincere smile on his face, which makes people unbearable to refuse.
