Doupo: I'm sorry, Xiao Yan, Xun'er is mine!

Chapter 47: Meeting Xiao Yan again, the little princess invites you to fight!
"However, if you haven't completed the extraction after the hourglass has completely dripped out, it will be considered a failure. Moreover, even if you have successfully extracted it, we will still be the judges to evaluate your results. If it does not meet the standards, it will also be considered a failure. The result of failure is that you will lose the qualification to participate in the competition!"

Upon hearing this, many people were shocked. It was so serious. If they missed this session, they would have to wait who knows how long before they would have another chance to become famous!

Of course, the seeded players were not among them. It was worth mentioning that Xiao Ming unexpectedly discovered that Xiao Yan was also there.

Although Xiao Yan was there in the original novel, didn't I take his place in Black Rock City? Where did this kid come from...

What Xiao Ming didn't know was that because he had snatched too many things from him, Xiao Yan was now in a very uncomfortable situation. He had too few resources and his improvement was very slow.

Without the companion purple crystal source, the blue lotus earth core fire and the earth fire lotus seeds, Xiao Yan's current cultivation level is barely that of a one-star Dou Master, which is ridiculously low.

Yao Lao would not give his collection to him directly, and he couldn't give it to him. After all, Yao Lao's storage ring only contained high-level items, which were not suitable for Xiao Yan to use.

This is also very reasonable. After all, the old Yao was also the famous Medicine Master Yao Chen on the mainland. Why would he prepare things for fighters and masters to use in his ring?
The Foundation Building Spirit Liquid doesn't count. That was specially prepared for Han Feng back then. Plus, it does have some value, so Yao Lao kept the recipe.

However, although his cultivation was very low, and even the Purple Fire and the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire were gone, Xiao Yan still managed to obtain some kind of strange fire.

The strange fire named Xuan Huang Yan is ranked 23rd on the Strange Fire List, which means it is at the bottom of the list. It is the worst strange fire, which is one of the reasons why Xiao Yan’s cultivation is so low.

It was really that this strange fire was too rubbish. After absorbing this strange fire, Xiao Yan's Burning Technique had just reached the advanced yellow level, which was a bit embarrassing.

But it is a strange fire after all. With the strange fire, Xiao Yan's ability to refine medicine has greatly increased, and he has also reached the level of a second-grade alchemist. Naturally, he came here to participate in the competition.

However, the route he took was to another city, which was somewhat different from that of Xiao Ming and the others.

"Okay, the initial test begins!" Chemir waved his hand and announced lightly.

Hearing this, people in the hall began to walk to a black curtain in twos and threes, opened it, and walked straight in.

Seeing the preliminary test begin, Xiao Ming shook his head and stopped caring about Xiao Yan. Just as he was about to go in for the test, a clear and ethereal laugh sounded beside him.

"Xiao Ming, do you want to compete with me to see whose results can be evaluated higher?" The cute and pretty little princess Yaoyue walked over with a smile, glanced at Xiao Ming and smiled sweetly.

"Sure!" Xiao Ming did not refuse.

"Hehe, then I'm looking forward to the results of your medicinal material extraction, Xiao Ming!" Yaoyue said with interest.

Liu Ling had the same idea and said with a feminine smile.

"Brother Xiao Ming, how about we compete as well?"

He knew that this boy had a very good relationship with Nalan Yanran, which was a bit uncomfortable for him as a pursuer. Therefore, Liu Ling wanted to prove his strength.

Xiao Ming left a few words and walked straight in.

"Whatever, you can't beat me anyway!"

Hearing this, Liu Ling's face couldn't help but look a little ugly, but the smile in the little princess's beautiful eyes deepened.

Xiao Yan watched these people chatting happily without any sense of nervousness at all. He also knew that they were extraordinary. However, how come Xiao Ming's cousin had become a third-grade alchemist? This progress was too fast!
A trace of horror appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. He took a breath and calmed down. He also found a black curtain and walked into the small room.

Walking to the stone platform, Xiao Yan glanced at the charcoal-like medicinal herbs, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He murmured in a low voice: "It turns out to be the most resistant to burning black iron spirit leaves. It takes a lot of energy to refine this thing. These old things are really troublesome."

"Forget it. In order to become famous in the Alchemist Competition and get more resources, I will sacrifice a little and act a little bit arrogant!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan summoned the Xuan Huang Flame and began to refine it.

There was no other way. Xiao Yan no longer had the Purple Fire and the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, so he could only refine them this way. Otherwise, based on his own ability, he might only be able to refine them four times, which was just about five or six points. That was too much of an exaggeration.

It would be embarrassing to tell anyone about it, so Xiao Yan had to use the strange fire.

It was almost the same on Xiao Ming's side. In front of the stone platform, a handsome young man closed his eyes and rested. Purple-black flames were continuously released from his fingertips, burning the black iron spirit leaves in front of him.

Of course, Xiao Ming would not have any intention of holding back. This small room was so independent, and he had no intention of hiding his weakness, so there was no need to use the weak Green Lotus Earth Core Fire to refine it.

Soon, under the high temperature burning of the Three Thousand Flames, within a few minutes, the black iron spirit leaf was burned into powder on the ground. Judging from the burnt state, it had been burned about ten times.

Xiao Ming shook his head, took out a jade bottle and put the powder into it, then opened the curtain and walked out.

At this moment, the hall was empty except for a few old guys. When Master Qiemi saw Xiao Ming coming out alone, his eyes were full of confusion.

What’s going on with this kid? Is he really capable, or is he just giving up... He came out in just a few minutes, it’s outrageous!
But looking at the third-grade alchemist badge on Xiao Ming's chest, Qiemi decided to believe it first and then believe it. After all, no matter what, there shouldn't be a third-grade alchemist who would get sick and turn himself into a clown.

"Xiao Ming, you are very confident!"

Xiao Ming said calmly.

"Well, it's almost a sure thing!"

"Oh, the young are really to be feared!"

After they chatted for a few words, people came out from behind the curtain on the left one after another, including Yaoyue, Liu Ling, and even Xiao Yan.

As soon as the little princess Yaoyue came out, she looked around, as if she was looking for someone. When she saw Xiao Ming who was already standing in the hall, a trace of visible disappointment suddenly appeared on her delicate face, but it quickly disappeared.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she came to Xiao Ming with a lovely smile, raised her snow-white jade fist, and chuckled.

"Xiao Ming, it seems that the rumors are true. You are indeed very strong. But you came out so early, be careful that the purity of your extraction may not be as high as mine!"

Xiao Ming smiled and responded.

"No, I think the purity of my medicinal materials is still good. It should be a few hundred million points higher than that of the little princess!"

As he spoke, the young man gestured slightly with his finger. It looked like a dot, but in fact it was the distance of the galaxy at his fingertips.
