Chapter 145: How Can the Alchemist's Business Be Called a Failure?
On the central stand of the square, a group of elders from the Jia Nan Academy were greeting each other enthusiastically.
"Haha. Lao Zhao, you are here too!"
"Yes! Lao Li! I am on a mission outside! I rushed back as soon as I received the news, but I didn't expect that you, an old guy, would also come today. Didn't you say you couldn't come?"
"Hehe. Old man, I was going to the Black Horn Region to look for Dou Ling Pill medicinal materials, but there is no rush. I will go after participating in this selection competition!"
"Dou Ling Pill, didn't you say you had collected them last time?"
"Yes, I have collected them all, and not one set, but three sets, but a certain old guy told me that they all failed. If I want to refine them again, I have to use other medicinal materials!" Elder Li looked at Elder Huo, who was slightly closed his eyes, sipping tea calmly, pretending not to hear it, with a bit of resentment.
Seeing Elder Huo's leisurely and calm appearance, Elder Li felt aggrieved and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Alchemists are amazing! They use the herbs that I collected with great difficulty to practice, and they have to give me a thank you gift if they succeed. If they fail, they pat their butts and say casually that they will come back after they collect herbs. It makes me want to hit them, but I have to endure it. I can't offend them and have to greet them with a smile.
There is no other way. Dou Ling Pill is a sixth-grade pill. Only Fengcheng in the Black Horn Region has a perfect guarantee. He and Han Feng in Fengcheng have no friendship. In Jia Nan Academy, only Elder Huo, a peak fifth-grade alchemist, has the best guarantee. What can I do? If I want Dou Ling Pill, I have to practice with him!
"Tsk tsk. Old man Huo, you really failed three times?" Elder Zhao looked at the two people and said with a bit of ridicule.
"Nonsense! How can a pharmacist's business be called a failure? It should be called one step closer to success!" Elder Huo glanced at the two and said lightly.
Elders Zhao and Li were speechless, and so were the elders who were watching the excitement. Looking at this stubborn and face-loving old man, they didn't know what to say for a moment!
"You all came here in great numbers today!" An old man came to the stands with a girl in red and said with a smile.
"Meet the Vice President!" The elders stood up and saluted.
"No need to be polite!" The old man walked to the seat in the middle and sat down. The girl in red followed him and stood behind him obediently, but her eyes were rolling, showing that she was not really that obedient.
"Seeing that you all gathered here today, you must have come for that little guy, right?" The old man glanced around and said directly.
"Haha. Vice President is wise. With the cultivation of this little guy, he actually came to Jia Nan. I am really curious!"
"Yes, yes, we are all very curious!" The other elders nodded in agreement when someone spoke up.
"You guys..." The old man shook his head. How could he not know that these old foxes came here not out of curiosity. It should be said that curiosity was a little bit, but it was not the main reason. They had other purposes.
The elders of Jia Nan Academy are not all from the same faction. There are always fights everywhere, for power, for profit, or for some other reasons. Don't think that these elders are Dou Wang or Dou Huang, so they have no desires. On the contrary, their needs are greater, so it is crucial to fight for the right to speak for the same camp.
And these old foxes, one by one, represent one camp. These camps are not only the elders of the outer courtyard, but also the elders of the inner courtyard.
Although the dean is not in the academy, as long as there are thousands of elders and the great elders above, this kind of competition will not cause trouble, and it will help the vitality of the academy.
Therefore, Jia Nan Academy did not prevent this kind of division of camps. After all, cultivation is about fighting, fighting for resources, and fighting for other things that are helpful for cultivation, to achieve a higher level of cultivation.
And Xiao Bai, who appeared this year, is now a Dou Ling. He has a clean background and no background, and his potential is even greater.
As long as he is promoted to Dou Wang, he can seek an elder position in Jia Nan Academy and pull him into his own camp. When he grows up in the future, they will also benefit. This is the purpose of their coming today.
As for whether Xiao Bai would grow up, they had no doubt at all. They had read the information of this boy a long time ago. He could grow to this point in a small place like Wutan City in Jiama Empire, not to mention that now there are abundant resources in Jia Nan Academy, which will only make him grow faster!
"Don't worry about that kid. The elder is already paying attention to him!" Looking at this group of old guys who are not sincere, the old man slowly said.
The elders sitting in the stands looked at each other, and they all found that the other party's face showed disappointment. It's a pity that they were still a little scheming here before!
Unexpectedly, the elder came directly to pick peaches. He wanted to say something, but no one spoke. They all shut their mouths tightly. The elder was a Dou Zong cultivator, and he couldn't afford to offend him!
The old man looked at the expressions of the crowd and nodded with satisfaction. The elder was still intimidating! If there was only one of these old foxes, he might not make them shut up!
"Hey, that guy clearly signed up, why hasn't he come yet?" The old man looked around the stage and saw that the fight had already started. He didn't see the young man they were just discussing, and asked in confusion.
"He should be in the Magic Beast Forest with his girlfriend!" Elder Huo, who had been silent all the time, spoke up at this time.
"How do you know?" The old man was stunned when he heard this, looking at the old man Huo, whose prestige in the outer courtyard was second only to his.
"I met him in the Magic Beast Forest not long ago. He is a good guy!" Elder Huo pondered for a moment, looked up and saw the strange eyes around him, and said arrogantly and contemptuously: "I met him by accident, not to win him over. Besides, I am an alchemist, and I don't need to do your tricks!"
Everyone was speechless. Alchemists are amazing? !
"Grandpa, who are you talking about?" At this time, the red-clothed girl who had been standing aside and listening for a long time but was confused came to the old man and asked.
"Haha... Don't you think you have outstanding talent? Today, grandpa will let you see what real outstanding talent is!" The old man said with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Tsk!" The red-dressed girl pursed her lips in disdain. Her talent exceeded the highest potential value of Jia Nan Academy. There are not many people with this talent in all these years. How much higher can it be?
Seeing her expression, the old man ignored her. He brought her here today not only to knock on her pride, but he found that his granddaughter had some abnormal signs. She often harassed some beautiful female classmates, but she was dismissive of male students no matter how outstanding they were. This made him full of worries.
He brought her here today to see if she had a different attitude towards Xiao Bai, this excellent little guy, and to test him. Otherwise, he would always be worried. Even though he knew that the little guy was quite romantic and had two girlfriends, it was better than his granddaughter having any special hobbies!
If it was really as he guessed, then this old face would be completely lost!
