"Ahem, Brother Green, I think you don't have to think too much about accepting a disciple.
You don't know his true identity.
He's from the Golden City and is the son of some almighty.
Who do you think taught him all these skills? "
Yu Xiangtian was now more and more convinced of Ling Xiao's fabricated identity.
Because Ling Xiao could control the immortal fire and was so familiar with the basic knowledge of medicinal herbs.
He must have been guided by a famous master.
Moreover, he believed that such a master couldn't be born in a small place.
Therefore, the most likely possibility was that a certain alchemist in the Golden City had taught Ling Xiao these abilities.
"Brother Yu, are you talking about the 'Fire Emperor'?"
The Luluo Cult leader's eyelids twitched as he hurriedly asked.
"It's very possible. In the Golden City, the most famous alchemist is the Fire Emperor.
He's the most respected figure in the Golden Heavenly Region below the Golden Emperor. "
Yu Xiangtian nodded and said.
"I see. What a pity."
The Luluo Cult leader sighed.
He knew best what level the Fire Emperor was at.
Back then, he went to the Golden City to compare alchemy skills with the Fire Emperor, but the result was a crushing defeat.
If Ling Xiao was the Fire Emperor's disciple, then everything would make sense.
In the entire four regions and nine realms, there were very few people who could control the immortal fire.
The Fire Emperor was one of them.
"Demon Kings, can I announce the end of the preliminaries?"
The shopkeeper of the Baohe Hall suddenly asked.
"Of course."
Yu Xiangtian nodded and said.
The shopkeeper of the Baohe Hall immediately faced the crowd and said, "This time, 10,000 people will advance.
Among them, the top five in the preliminaries would all receive an exquisite reward.
The others don't have to be discouraged.
The main competition is a manifestation of comprehensive skills.
As long as you perform well, you will naturally receive better rewards.
In addition, I need to remind you.
The Baohe Hall has branches in all the major cities of the Fengdu Demon Kingdom.
While we are holding the preliminaries here, the preliminaries for the branches are also being held at the same time.
Although each branch is only allowed to advance 100 people.
There are as many as 1,000 branches, which means there are more than 100,000 people.
These people may not be worse than you.
It's just that they are far away from the main hall to participate in the preliminaries.
So you'd better remember.
Your competitors are far more than just the 10,000 people here.
There are more than 100,000 people. "
Hearing this, many people were very excited.
However, the old foxes did not seem to be easily fooled.
Their emotions were still very stable.
Ling Xiao was the same.
Although he was a little excited in his heart, he would not show it.
"As expected of someone from a big place. He's actually so calm.
It's as if a hundred thousand opponents are just stepping stones to him. "
Yu Xiangtian looked at Ling Xiao and really liked him more and more.
"That's right.
Although the Demon Emperor was powerful, he was still inferior to the Fire Emperor in terms of alchemy.
As a disciple of the Fire Emperor, you should be able to maintain your composure. "
The leader of the Greenvine Cult sighed emotionally.
Looking at his disciple Green Spirit, she was still brooding over the preliminaries.
His face seemed to be covered with dark clouds, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Fire King!"
Yu Quren muttered this title.
In his heart, he thought that he must build a good relationship with Ling Xiao.
After all, the Flame Emperor was an existence that could bring the dead back to life.
His attainments in alchemy were much higher than that of the leader of the Greenvine Cult.
In any case, in the entire Heavenly Fiend Ghost Region, no one's alchemy skills could match that of the Fire Emperor.
"Alright, everyone is free to move around!"
After the prizes were awarded, the shopkeeper of the Baohe Hall announced the end of the preliminaries.
Everyone was free to move around.
Those who did not pass the preliminaries could either go home or find their mothers.
Or stay and wait for the main competition to begin and personally experience this grand event.
Even if they couldn't participate, they could still be spectators.
They could always learn a lot.
As for those who passed the preliminaries, they were all thinking about relaxing for a while.
After all, tomorrow was the main competition.
If they didn't rest well, they probably wouldn't be able to perform well in the main competition tomorrow.
Ling Xiao looked at the gift box in his hand and opened it to take a look.
There were some pills inside.
Some replenished physical strength, some replenished vital essence, and some replenished vital essence.
They were really good.
However, compared to what he refined, there was still a big gap.
Of course, he could refine these pills after going back.
Although some would be wasted.
After refining, the effect of the pills would definitely be comparable to ten.
It was still very cost-effective.
"Congratulations, Big Brother Ling. I really didn't expect that you would actually have such high attainments in alchemy!"
The lady in green said excitedly.
"It's just average."
Ling Xiao smiled very modestly.
He wasn't trying to be pretentious, but compared to a Yuan Venerate, his alchemy skills could only be considered average.
"Excessive modesty is arrogance!"
At that moment, Lu Ling also walked over and said in a strange tone, "Since your master is the Fire Emperor of the City of Gold, why didn't you say so earlier?
Why didn't you say it from the start?
You're still putting on airs. Are you deliberately trying to make a fool of yourself? "
"Fire Emperor? Who is the Fire Emperor? "
Ling Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
This was the first time he had heard of the Fire Emperor.
"Still pretending?
The Fire Emperor is perhaps the most outstanding alchemist in the entire four regions and nine realms.
He is even more powerful than my master.
You are his disciple, so it's natural for you to beat me.
It would be embarrassing if you lost to me. "
Lu Ling said coldly.
"Sorry, I really don't know any Fire Emperor."
Ling Xiao shrugged and said, "No matter what you say, the truth is the truth. The Flame Emperor might be a great alchemist.
The Fire Emperor might be a great alchemist, but he has nothing to do with me. "
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but I have to tell you one thing.
I definitely won't let you win during the competition.
Even if you are the Fire Emperor's disciple, I will still win glory for the Green Vine Sect. "
Lu Ling said excitedly.
"Up to you!"
Ling Xiao said indifferently.
He was full of disgust for Lu Ling.
This kind of self-proclaimed genius would always find all sorts of excuses to prove that they hadn't lost face after losing a competition.
For example, she had arranged for him to have the Fire Emperor as his master.
That was how it was.
"Lu Ling, I will take my leave first."
Ling Xiao wanted to go back and refine his reward.
He really had nothing to say to these people here.
"Okay!"
The lady in green wanted to say a few more words to Ling Xiao.
However, she gave up after seeing her Eldest Senior Brother's reaction.
If it were her, she would probably be annoyed to death.
"Hmph, what's so great about it?
Outstanding basic knowledge of medicinal herbs doesn't mean that you are outstanding in all aspects.
I just want to show you that even without the immortal fire, my Lu Ling alchemy skills are definitely better than yours. "
Lu Ling snorted coldly and said indignantly.
"Lu Ling, follow me!"
The leader of the Green Vine Sect walked over at this moment and said in a serious tone.
"Before the competition begins, I want to impart my ultimate skill to you.
I lost to the Fire Emperor back then, I won't allow you to lose to his disciple again! "
"That's great, Master!"
In the past, Lu Ling had always wanted that ultimate skill, but the leader of the Green Vine Sect refused.
This time, it was a blessing in disguise.
