"This girl, do we know each other?"
Puppet Xiao Yan looked at Ye Ling with pretended confusion and asked.
"Are you Xiao Yan from the Xiao family of Wutan City? Did you make a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran?"
Ye Ling confirmed again.
"Yes, I am Xiao Yan from the Xiao family in Wutan City."
When the puppet Xiao Yan heard his words, he nodded directly.
"…"Ye Ling.
At this moment, she felt that her brain was not enough.
Isn't Xiao Yan with Lei Shen and the others?
A great battle had broken out before with the people from the Zhuyan League.
So what is the situation with Xiao Yan in front of him now?
"Have you just arrived in the imperial capital?"
Ye Ling's dark eyes were fixed on the puppet Xiao Yan, and he was secretly muttering in his heart.
It's okay that there are many time travelers in this world, but how come Xiao Yan has also appeared?
"Who are you? Why are you so concerned about my affairs?"
Puppet Xiao Yan asked back.
"My name is Ye Ling. Before you came, a Xiao Yan had already appeared in the imperial capital. That's why I was so curious when I saw you."
There was doubt in Ye Ling's beautiful eyes. She was sure that this Xiao Yan was definitely not the same Xiao Yan she had met before.
In other words, among these two people, one Xiao Yan is fake.
"What?"
"You mean someone's impersonating me?"
Puppet Xiao Yan said with a surprised expression.
"We don't know who you are pretending to be yet."
"I'll come back to you after I've thoroughly investigated the matter."
As Ye Ling spoke, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
When the puppet Xiao Yan saw this, a smile flashed in his eyes.
The real show is about to begin.
…
the next day.
Xiao Yan returned to the imperial capital under Ye Fan's disguise and found Lei Shen and others.
Meanwhile, Lei Shen and Ye Ling were asking about the other Xiao Yan.
"You said you saw another me last night?"
Yanxiao stared at Ye Ling as he spoke, and then he said in a decisive tone.
"This must be a conspiracy of the Zhuyan League."
"They wanted to kill me, but thanks to Manager Meng's protection, they couldn't do it."
"So I created a fake me."
Yan Xiaoqiang defended himself.
Lei Shen and Ye Ling should both know what kind of people the Zhu Yan League is.
Just pour the water on the Zhuyan League.
"We don't rule out this possibility."
"But there's something really wrong with you."
"According to our memories, you shouldn't have been as strong as you are now."
"But yesterday you actually fused a four-colored fire lotus. This is very puzzling to me."
Thor said with a slight frown.
In fact, he had noticed early on that this fake Xiao Yan had many discrepancies with the original novel.
However, he always believed that this was a butterfly effect caused by too many time travelers.
It was not until last night that Ye Ling told him that she had met another Xiao Yan, which attracted the attention of the Thunder God.
"Do you suspect I'm fake?"
Rock Owl looked at Thor in disbelief.
You know, he has always regarded Thor as his supporter.
After all, he was the first one to remind him of the danger.
"If it was just you, Xiao Yan, we wouldn't be suspicious. But now there are two Xiao Yans. How can we tell them apart?"
There was helplessness on Ye Ling's pretty face.
She is also having a headache now. The Xiao Yan she met yesterday was also carrying the Xuan Zhong Ruler.
A wave of scorching fighting spirit could be sensed from within his body, and it was obvious that it was a wave that could only be emitted by the strange fire.
It was for this reason that Ye Ling began to doubt this Rock Owl.
"Ye Ling is right. I've always been wondering why Hai Bodong, who should have been by your side, didn't show up?"
At this time, Thor also expressed all the doubts in his heart.
When there was only Xiao Yan before, he could still imagine it himself, for example, that Hai Bodong might have traveled through time.
Or, Hai Bodong died at the hands of other time travelers.
After all, he was holding a fragmentary map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, so it would not be surprising if he was killed by other time travelers.
Now that a second Xiao Yan has appeared, he of course has to confirm this matter.
"I don't know. I haven't met Hai Bodong. Maybe he was also transported through time, or died at the hands of someone who traveled through time."
Yanxiao can only force an explanation now.
After all, he hadn't experienced those things.
As soon as he crossed over, he was in the Holy City of Gama.
After determining the timeline, he had no time to do anything else.
He could only rely on his original memories to directly take over Xiao Yan's story in the imperial capital.
Of course, he also thought about what to do if he met the original Xiao Yan.
His original plan was what would happen if the real Xiao Yan came here.
I will create a plot with him about the real and fake Xiao Yan, and then no one will be able to tell who is Xiao Yan.
Who would have thought that before Xiao Yan even arrived, he had already helped the other party to withstand a lot of thunder.
Now, the thunder has almost exploded, and the real culprit has arrived in the imperial capital.
Want to share the fruits of victory.
I can never agree to this!
The real Xiao Yan... No, I am the real Xiao Yan.
The Xiao Yan who wanted to impersonate him must die in the imperial capital.
Only in this way can I truly take over everything from him.
Just when Lei Shen and Ye Ling wanted to talk, Xiao Yan, wearing Ye Fan's vest, came here.
"Everyone, calm down."
"Now is not the time to argue about who is real and who is fake. The Alchemist Conference is about to begin."
"How about we discuss this after the Alchemist Conference is over?"
Xiao Yan stepped forward and tried to smooth things over.
It would be pointless to find out the truth now.
The best effect would be achieved by waiting for the Alchemist Conference to begin and discussing the authenticity of the matter in front of countless people.
In this way, you can also clear your reputation.
After all, this guy has done a lot of bad things under his own pseudonym.
Before he dies, he has to restore his reputation.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Ye."
Thor nodded, but his expression still looked a little grim.
He offended more than a dozen time travelers for Xiao Yan.
It would be fine if the other person was the real Xiao Yan, then everything he had done would be worth it.
But if the other party is an imposter, wouldn't I have made so many powerful enemies in vain?
Ye Ling on the side had the same idea. She came from the south of the continent, across Zhongzhou, to this northwestern region not for a fake.
But he wanted to see the real Xiao Yan.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I believe you are genuine. As long as you can win the championship at the Alchemist Conference, you can naturally prove it."
"And the man who dared to impersonate you, I will definitely help you kill him."
After the few of them stopped arguing, Xiao Yan secretly sent a message to the impostor.
"Brother Ye!"
His words made Yanxiao look at him with emotion, and he secretly swore in his heart.
I didn't expect that at this moment, the person who firmly believed in me was Ye Fan, the person I was most worried about.
[Although I am not the real Xiao Yan, my future achievements will definitely surpass Xiao Yan's.]
[I will definitely repay your trust a hundredfold in the future.]
…
Alchemist Guild.
At this time, many alchemists were gathering here.
Among them are Yan Li of the Izumo Empire, the little princess of the royal family, Liu Ling, a disciple of Gu He, and the puppet Xiao Yan and others.
When Xiao Yan and Yan Xiao arrived, the others had already arrived here first.
Jia Xingtian, who was in charge of eating melons, Miter Tengshan, and Hai Bodong, who had just arrived here this morning, were also standing on the platform.
"Everyone, following the unanimous decision of the top leaders of our Alchemist Guild, this competition will only have one round."
"Whoever refines the highest-grade and most effective elixir will be the champion of the tournament."
When everyone was gathered, President Fa Mammoth flapped his fighting wings, flew into the air, and announced in public.
The original Alchemist Conference required three rounds of assessments before the final champion was decided.
However, a series of events that occurred in the imperial capital in the past few days made everyone feel that a storm was about to come.
Therefore, he wanted to end the Alchemist Conference as soon as possible and let those unknown strong people disperse and leave the Holy City of Gama as soon as possible.
Of course, this is also what Jia Xingtian meant.
Jia Xingtian had already talked to Manager Meng last night.
Manager Meng said frankly that every day these unknown strong men were allowed to stay would put the Gama Empire in greater danger.
Even if he gets really angry, he won't be able to protect the royal family.
Hearing this, Jia Xingtian dared not delay. He persuaded President Fa Ma overnight to shorten the progress of the Alchemist Conference as much as possible.
Let the conference end as soon as possible so that those strong people will not gather here.
However, he obviously did not understand the true meaning of Manager Meng.
It is true that those alchemists gathered here because of the Alchemist Conference.
But the person who really posed a threat came here because of Xiao Yan's three-year agreement.
"Only one round?"
Xiao Yan had not expected that President Fa Ma would be so eager to advance the progress of the Alchemist Conference.
"One round?"
"No matter how many rounds it is, the final champion will definitely be me."
Yan Li is very confident in himself. He is not as simple as the fourth-grade alchemist in the original book. Now he is capable of refining sixth-grade pills.
As for why he is only a vice president even though he is so powerful, it is of course because the president is more powerful than him.
"Xiao Yan, this time..."
Yan Li sneered in his heart and looked for Xiao Yan in the crowd.
This search was so intense that it almost made him scream out loud.
He actually saw two Xiao Yans in the crowd.
"What's going on?"
"Why are there two Xiao Yans?"
Seeing two Xiao Yans, Yan Li was stunned.
Not only him, but also the people from the Zhuyan League who were watching the show in the air were dumbfounded.
"Xingyu, can you tell who's the fake one?"
Feng Lie asked Xingyu beside him.
"Neither of them can be identified."
Xingyu shook his head.
In fact, he could tell that Rock Owl was fake, but he didn't want to say it.
As for the puppet Xiao Yan, he really couldn't see it.
"Alliance leader, I think they are all real."
"Do you remember Yan Li once said that he had already killed Xiao Yan once?"
"I think he probably just cursed one of them, Xiao Yan, to death."
Ling Yu said with a serious expression.
"We can't rule out this possibility. It's already very unusual for so many of us travelers to arrive in this world at the same time."
"It is reasonable for Douqi Continent to train a few more Xiao Yans to deal with us, a group of time travelers."
Chen Xiu nodded in agreement.
"…"Chen Beixuan.
Good job!
He had to admire the imagination of these fellow villagers.
They imagined things that they had never thought of.
"Whether it's one Xiao Yan or two Xiao Yans, we in the Zhuyan League would rather kill the wrong person than let him go."
"Even if he has a hundred Xiao Yans, we will kill them all."
Feng Lie snorted coldly, and when he looked at the two Xiao Yans, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
…
"This Feng Lie really has a way of seeking death!"
Below, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing Feng Lie's words through Chen Beixuan.
Immediately, he came to the platform and prepared to start refining the elixir.
Now, the Medicine Emperor is not by his side, and he can only refine fifth-grade elixirs.
If you want to stand out in the Alchemist Conference, you can only rely on the power of the system.
The Danshen system that I have integrated has a function of Danshen possession.
Spending one million reputation allows you to use Dan Shen Possession once.
Although Xiao Yan himself did not build up any reputation, Ye Fan, Master Ye, was known to everyone in Black Rock City.
The reputation he earned naturally came to him after he released the shadow clone.
He now has a total of 5.2 million reputation points.
"Use Dan Shen Possession."
After taking a look at the remaining reputation value, Xiao Yan decisively used the function of Dan God Possession.
The moment the Pill God possessed him, Xiao Yan underwent a huge change.
When others took out their alchemy furnaces, summoned flames, and prepared to refine the elixir according to common sense.
Xiao Yan waved his arm, and herbs flew out of the ring and floated in the air.
Afterwards, a dark orange flame emerged from Xiao Yan's hand, and medicinal herbs in the air flew down directly.
The moment it comes into contact with the flame, it turns into drops of liquid medicine containing huge energy.
As the flame continued to burn, the medicinal liquid gradually condensed into the shape of a pill.
"hiss!"
"Who is this boy? This kind of alchemy technique is unheard of and unseen!"
"I've heard of the alchemy technique of using flames as a cauldron, but throwing herbs directly into flames and forcing them to become pills completely violates common sense in alchemy!"
"Didn't you notice that the herbs he used were extremely rare and were only used to refine sixth-grade elixirs?"
"In other words, he refined all the sixth-grade medicinal herbs in just a moment? How terrifying!"
On the high platform, the people watching the Alchemist Conference took a deep breath and spoke with shock in their eyes.
This alchemy method, which violates common sense in alchemy, has attracted everyone's attention.
Including Yan Li, who was determined to win the championship, everyone subconsciously looked at Xiao Yan himself.
"Who is this person?"
"Could he be a time traveler as well? Such terrifying alchemy skills are simply beyond belief."
Yanli was extremely shocked and even gave up on refining the medicine.
With such a pervert around, even if he refined pills of the same level, the speed would be much slower.
After all, a sixth-grade elixir would take at least ten days to refine, which was nothing compared to that pervert's.
"Ye Fan, does he possess such a terrifying alchemy skill?"
"And his flames even made my Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire tremble!"
The Rock Owl felt the fear of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in his body, and felt a little unwilling.
If I fail to win the championship of the Alchemist Conference, it will definitely affect the progress of my role-playing.
After all, the original Xiao Yan was the one who won the championship.
…
"See? That's Ye Fan from our Black Rock City, Master Ye. I personally tested him as a fourth-grade alchemist."
In the audience, Master Otto said to the people around him with a proud expression on his face.
Ye Fan represents Black Rock City, and now that it is in the limelight, he is naturally proud of it.
"It's a pity, Master Liu, Liu Xi, disappeared after the battle of Black Rock City. Otherwise, Black Rock City would have surely gained even more honors."
Master Frank said with some regret.
"Haha, one Ye Fan is enough."
"We should at least give some respect to the Alchemist Guilds in other cities, right?"
"If all the resources are given to us, how will the others survive?"
Master Otto smiled and said.
…
"It's the Pozong Pill!"
When the pill in Xiao Yan's hand was about to take shape, President Fa Ma couldn't help but speak.
"What did you say?"
"Po Zong Dan?"
"He refined the Sect Breaking Pill?"
Hearing Fa Ma's words, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong all turned their eyes to him.
"There's no doubt about it. It must be the Pozong Pill."
Fa Ma said very affirmatively.
His words excited Hai Bodong.
He knew that Ye Fan was Xiao Yan.
Now, Xiao Yan is refining the Pozong Pill, and he must have seen the great achievements of his hard work.
He was prepared to use the power of the elixir to break through and become a Dou Zong powerhouse.
"Brother Xiao, you haven't forgotten me!"
"My original choice was the right one."
"Once I become such a terrifying Dou Zong master, I will definitely be able to expand the territory for Dao Sect."
Hai Bodong thought excitedly.
Xing Tian, who was standing by, also made up his mind.
No matter how much it costs, he must buy this Pozong Pill from the other party.
…
Under everyone's close gaze, the pill in the dark orange flame suddenly split into five.
At the same time, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly fluctuated.
It's like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake.
As time went by, this fluctuation became more and more obvious, condensing into circles of substantial energy ripples, spreading out in all directions with Xiao Yan's palm as the center.
Wherever the energy ripples passed, the entire Alchemist Square shook continuously.
The rest of the alchemists, except for the puppet Xiao Yan, were all forced to stop refining medicine.
There were even quite a few people who had their furnaces blown up because of this interference.
But this is far from over.
After the energy ripples, a beam of energy light as thick as two or three meters shot straight into the sky, and the powerful energy fluctuations spread to the entire Gama Holy City.
"Is this the noise made when refining a sixth-grade elixir?"
"Sixth-grade elixirs are so terrifying!"
"It's worthy of being a pill that can help people break through to the Dou Zong level."
Such a commotion naturally made everyone amazed.
