Cthulhu

Chapter 242
When the alchemist walked up to Cheng Cheng, picked up the jade bottle he had put on the table, opened it and checked it, he was speechless and couldn't shout out.

"Read it out, no one will feel ashamed, isn't it a defective product?" The white-robed youth gloated, with a harmless smile on his face, and shouted.

"It's not a defective product."

"Isn't it a defective product? Could it be that a defective product isn't considered rubbish?" The white-robed young man was about to laugh out loud. How dare he compete with him in such a small amount of skill. It's really embarrassing.

"No, it's top-grade!" The alchemist was trembling with excitement, because this elixir can be regarded as the top-grade among the top-grade ones. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that someone could concoct such a high-quality pill in such a short time. Elixir, and it's a boy who is not satisfied with Double Ten, my God, it's so shocking.

Everyone who had taken in a big breath and was ready to burst into loud laughter was stuck in their chests, unable to vent it.It is much more uncomfortable to love to the edge of high C and fail to vent.

What the hell kind of world is that?

"How is it possible? Impossible. It is impossible to refine high-grade pills in such a short time." How could the white-robed youth believe that Cheng Cheng took even less time than him, and the quality of the pills he refined was even higher. How could he accept this?
Laymen watch the excitement, but experts watch the way. All alchemists know that it is impossible for Cheng Cheng to refine the elixir well even if he invites a fourth-rank alchemist. Cheng Cheng not only Not only has it been refined, but it is of excellent quality, how can alchemists believe it?
The disbelieving young man in white robe stepped forward, took the jade bottle from the alchemist's hand, pushed him away, and then began to examine it himself.His behavior can be called insolent. Doing this in front of the old emperor shows that the forces behind him are not simple.

Real gold is not afraid of being refined by fire, the result of his inspection is obvious, the elixir refined by Cheng Cheng is top grade, there is nothing wrong with it.

Putting the jade bottle back with a dark face, the white-robed youth had to accept this reality, but this was just a test, and there were still opportunities to step down into Chengcheng, so he was not worried.

The emperor and empress on the high platform were all surprised, feeling incredible. Cheng Cheng's performance just now was too arrogant, which originally made the emperor and empress very dissatisfied, but the result shocked them all. It seems that this kid I have money.

The most surprising thing was Nangong Yuling, she never knew that Cheng Cheng could also use magic, and was the most noble alchemist.What I can't imagine is that he even defeated that person, which made her face like ice sculpture appear jumpy, seemingly very happy.

After the test results came out, the alchemists corresponding to ten high-quality pills were selected to be promoted. The next round will be held in the palace, and outsiders will not be able to see it as a good show.

Cheng Sheng and the white-robed youth, two outstanding youths, have obviously entered the top ten, and they still have opportunities to compete in the future.

"I hope you will have such good luck next time." When he walked up to Cheng Cheng and passed by, the white-robed youth couldn't help but pause, and said threateningly.

"My luck has always been good." Cheng Cheng seemed indifferent, shrugged his shoulders, ignored him and left.The young man in white robe squinted his eyes angrily, probably wanting to pluck his skin.

The competition was exciting, and the people who watched the excitement sighed that this trip was not in vain, and they still had something to say.But when the competition was over, they had no choice but to disperse. Those who signed up and failed to enter the top ten were all downcast and very annoyed. The most annoying ones were those who didn't even make it to the stage and were directly dismissed. Five hundred The gold coins were lost in vain.But to alchemists, five hundred gold coins are nothing.

The ten contestants who advanced, led by an envoy, drove towards the palace together in sedan chairs with the team.

Originally, I wanted to find a chance to meet Nangong Yuling, but I was so closely watched that I didn't have any chance at all. I went all the way into the palace, opened the car curtain and watched the car drive by. It wasn't that he was looking at the scenery like a woman. It is a habit, but to find out the guards at each level and where there are soldiers guarding them, and where they can pass smoothly. Otherwise, they will wander around like headless chickens in the palace, and they will be caught easily. The spy was chopped off.

After entering the palace, Cheng Cheng's convoy was separated from the convoy that the emperor and Nangong Yuling were traveling in, not going in the same direction. At this time, Nangong Yuling also opened the car curtain and stuck her head out of the car window, and Cheng Cheng looked at it. Eyes crossed, and then quickly shrank in.

Cheng Cheng was depressed, was this woman really stupid or fake, and he came all the way to Wuli country, so it's hard not to know that he came to look for her?Knowing that I came to find her, what are you still hiding?
Under the leadership of the envoy, Cheng Sheng and the other nine promoted members came to a large courtyard in a horse-drawn carriage, and then the envoy politely let everyone get off the sedan chair, and said to the group: "Tonight You live here, and there are forty young alchemists who were selected a few years ago, and the real competition will start tomorrow."

"It's time for the envoy." The young man in white robe stepped forward and replied politely.

Damn, what the hell?

The others were all aggrieved, and the young man in white robe answered the words with a haughty expression, making people think that he was the leader of the group.

The envoy led a few people into the courtyard. The courtyard is very large. It is a place for foreign guests in the palace, so it is very particular. he.After all ten people had settled down, he said his goodbyes and left.

Unexpectedly, there are still suites one by one, but after thinking about it, Cheng Cheng also thinks it should be, how much money did the old emperor earn by recruiting relatives?Isn't it too stingy to let yourself wait for someone to sleep in a big bunk?

Having nothing to do, Cheng Cheng went out of the house to take a stroll, and had a face-to-face meeting with the young man in white robe as soon as he got outside the door, his originally good mood was suddenly lost.

"Boy, remember that my name is Jian Nantian. Let's see you tomorrow on the field." The white-robed young man was actually surnamed Jian, walked up to Cheng Cheng and said with a light smile.

"Cheng Cheng." Everyone else reported their names, and it would be petty and impolite for Cheng Cheng not to report.However, the sword surname of the white-robed young man surprised him a little. The sword family of Wuli country is a huge force, comparable to the married family of Douwu Empire. Does this kid have anything to do with the sword family?
"I've never heard of it." Jian Nantian thought for a while, he had never heard of this name, and he didn't even have a reputation, so why should he compete with himself for the position of son-in-law?
"I can only blame you for being too short-sighted." Shrugging his shoulders, Cheng Cheng was not angry at all, and walked straight out of the yard, making Jian Nantian's body tremble with anger.

Cheng Cheng didn't take Jian Nantian's words to heart, he was just a clown, is it necessary to take him seriously?After wandering around the yard for a while, I found that there were also young people about his age in the yard, who should be members of the competition this time.

The courtyard is very large, and it is not a problem to accommodate dozens of people. When I walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked outside, I found that there were guards everywhere outside. I didn't expect that the palace of Wuli Kingdom was much more heavily guarded than the palace of the Douwu Empire.After thinking about it, the alchemy ceremony was going to be held in the palace, the emperor must have sent extra people to guard the courtyard.

After looking at the situation outside, I saw a group of uniformly dressed maids walking towards here under the leadership of a eunuch, carrying all kinds of exquisite bowls and bowls. They walked very uniformly. It can be seen that these court ladies are all Professionally trained.

He quickly turned back, and soon a waiter came to ask him to eat, but he didn't expect to eat in this courtyard. Did the old emperor really treat himself and others as prisoners?Cheng Cheng was very depressed, but he also went to the restaurant to eat with the waiter.

After the meal, everyone went back to their dormitories, some were practicing, some were reading, anyway, they were doing their own things, and went to bed when they were tired, preparing for tomorrow's alchemy ceremony.Cheng Cheng couldn't stay idle, seeing that it was completely dark, he quietly went out to the yard.

He hid in the dark and checked, and found that there were more guards at night than during the day, so he picked up a stone and threw it outside the yard, which alarmed the guards outside, and some people walked around the yard to check the situation. The moment the force was attracted, he ran out of the yard as fast as he could, and hid behind the flowerbed outside like a gust of wind.

After going around for several times, Cheng Sheng managed to avoid the guards who were patrolling back and forth. He originally wanted to find Nangong Yuling's bedroom, but he was not familiar with the terrain inside the palace at all, so he could only look like a headless chicken. It seems to be evasively looking around.

The area of ​​the palace is really too big, not smaller than that of the Douwu Empire. After walking around for nearly two hours, Cheng Cheng finally got his hands on the doorway and found the direction of the harem, and then quietly Sneak past.

He didn't dare to fly to the roof, if the old monster in the palace found out, he would definitely die, so he had to be careful every step of the way.After a lot of effort, he finally avoided all the eyeliners and entered the harem. It was much quieter inside the harem, and even the patrolling guards could not be seen.

Where is the harem?Most of them are the emperor's women and princesses. If someone with a heart is allowed to sneak into the empress's bedroom, wouldn't it be like a fire burning like dry wood?
