Perhaps he noticed Ye Chen's absent-mindedness, and the young man couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling that he, a cultivator from Xuantian City, was being underestimated.
"My dear brother, this Alchemist Conference in Xuantian City is no ordinary event. Not only is it presided over by the ancestors of the Song and Lu families, who are also sixth-grade advanced alchemists, but many Dou Zong-level masters from the surrounding area will also come to observe the ceremony. It can be said to be the largest event within a thousand miles!"
Ye Chen was amused. He hadn't expected this young man to have such a strong sense of honor. He quickly put on a serious expression and said, "Yeah, brother, you're right. I'm also very interested. If the conference starts, I must go and watch it and get to know the young talents of Xuantian City!"
The young man looked skeptical. "Really? Then why don't you come with me to the front and take a look? I heard the champion prizes for this tournament have been announced. I even heard there's a sixth-grade pill recipe. Many alchemists have been attracted there."
Looking at the young man who was unwilling to give up, Ye Chen didn't care. Anyway, he was free now, so it would be no harm to take a look.
Shaking his head at Hu Tian, whose face had turned gloomy, Ye Chen followed in his footsteps.
After all, although this young man has a strong sense of honor and is a bit serious, he seems to be a good person and there is no need to cause trouble.
"Let me tell you... uh, my name is Xia Yu. May I know your name?" After talking for a long time, the young man suddenly realized that he still didn't know the name of the person in front of him, so he asked immediately.
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said with a bow: "My name is Song Chen, nice to meet Brother Fang."
Fang Yu laughed heartily upon seeing this, clasped his fists in return and said, "Very well, very well. Brother Song Chen, let me tell you, every time the Alchemist Conference in Xuantian City begins, many young and talented alchemists emerge. The last time, the champion was even a fifth-grade intermediate alchemist!"
"Oh? He's so strong..." Ye Chen was also surprised.
You know, there is an age limit for this Alchemist Conference, under 30 years old!
To be able to reach the fifth-grade intermediate level before the age of thirty means his talent is even stronger than most of the Ye family. It seems that this Xuantian City Alchemist Conference is still of some quality...
Don't think that the level of a fifth-grade alchemist is low. If it is not obvious, you can think of Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire in the original work. He practiced hard for hundreds of years, but in the end he was just a fifth-grade peak alchemist.
This was because Yao Lao accidentally gave me some pointers when I was young...
Moreover, when the Pill King Gu He participated in the Alchemist Conference, he was only a fourth-grade alchemist. Finally, with the Yunlan Sect's training at all costs, he became a sixth-grade alchemist and earned the title of Pill King.
Although the Jia Ma Empire is no match for the Central Region of Zhongzhou, a fifth-grade alchemist under the age of thirty is still extraordinary enough.
Seeing Ye Chen's surprise, Fang Yu suddenly became happy and spoke more excitedly.
"Of course not! And Brother Song Chen, I'm not lying to you. This Alchemist Conference is sure to be even more exciting than the last one. It's said that the Song family, one of the two major alchemist families in Xuantian City, has produced a genius this generation. At a very young age, his alchemy skills have surpassed many of the Song family's strongest members. He just came of age this year and will definitely participate in this conference. He is bound to make a big splash!"
Ye Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing this. After all, as long as it is a family with a long history, there will be one or two "geniuses" in every generation, and then they will be praised by the outside world as peerless monsters!
"May I ask the name of this genius from the Song family?" Ye Chen asked casually.
"Song Qing!" Fang Yu said seriously, obviously having great respect for this person.
Ye Chen, who was walking, was stunned when he heard the name, and then he stopped involuntarily.
"Song Qing?"
He was somewhat familiar with this name...
At the beginning of his time travel, when he knew that he was from the Ye family, one of the five major families in Danyu, Ye Chen had already carefully recalled the plot of the original Doupo novel about Danyu in his memory. Among the characters that appeared in it was Song Qing!
"This Song Qing seems to be the disciple of the Grand Elder of Danta, and also the youngest elder. Moreover, he successfully refined a seventh-grade top-level elixir at the Alchemy Conference, which means he must be a seventh-grade top-level alchemist..." Ye Chen couldn't help but think in his heart.
In this case, Song Qing has reached the level of Ye Xun, the ancestor of the Ye family, at such a young age. No wonder he can become the youngest elder of Danta.
"If this Song Qing is that Song Qing, then this conference might be really interesting..." Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly became interested in the unknown alchemist conference in Xuantian City.
Soon, the three of them arrived outside a square.
At this time, quite a few people have gathered here, and among them there are indeed many young alchemists wearing alchemist uniforms. However, judging from their alchemist badges, most of them are first- and second-grade alchemists.
Obviously, these people were not here to attend the conference.
Fang Yu greeted Ye Chen and said as he squeezed in, "Brother Song Chen, there is still half a month before the conference, so this square is not open to the public. However, some of the conference rules and championship rewards have been announced. Let's squeeze in and take a look..."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes helplessly. This was the kind of scene he hated the most, let alone squeezing in.
"Brother Fang, go in by yourself. Tell me after you're done. I'll be waiting for you outside..."
Seeing this, Fang Yu did not force it. In fact, he could see that this brother Song Chen must have an extraordinary background, different from a peasant like himself.
"Well, wait a minute, I'll be out as soon as I'm done..."
When he finished speaking, he had disappeared in the crowd.
"Young Master, are you also interested in this Alchemist Conference?" Hu Tian saw what Ye Chen was thinking and couldn't help asking.
In his opinion, with Ye Chen's identity and talent, there was no need for him to pay attention to this level of alchemist conference.
Ye Chen did not explain anything, but he had already decided to see for himself whether Song Qing from the Song family was the Song Qing in his memory.
"There's still half a month left. This is a good time for you, Mr. Hu, to focus on your breakthrough. I also need to improve my alchemy skills..."
Currently, Ye Chen is only a third-grade alchemist, barely qualified to participate in the conference.
Of course, this was only on the surface. Because when he was in Qingyue City, he had already successfully refined fourth-grade elixirs, and was considered a fourth-grade alchemist.
Unfortunately, according to Fang Yu, if you want to win the championship in this Alchemist Conference, you probably need to be a fifth-grade alchemist.
What's more, this time there is Song Qing, who is suspected to be a genius alchemist, so if you want to get a good ranking, it is definitely not enough to just be a fourth-grade alchemist.
