Hearing his disciple's words, Wang Lin didn't say anything else. However, his eyes flashed.
He knew his disciple's character very well. They wouldn't lie to him. Furthermore, this matter was so important that he couldn't joke about it.
So if that was the case, then the strange young man who took Qing Ning as his disciple yesterday was undoubtedly Xiao Fan.
However!
Who would have thought that everyone was looking for Xiao Fan? Even the important figures on the Pill Marquis Stage couldn't find Xiao Fan. In the end, Xiao Fan had already quietly arrived in Pill City and was right next to everyone?
"I also know that this matter is very important. Therefore, I haven't made this matter public. Only my juniors know about it. Others definitely don't know anything!" This disciple of Wang Lin was his eldest disciple. Although his alchemy skills weren't very good, he had a way of doing things. At this moment, he could guess what Wang Lin was thinking and immediately spoke in a low voice.
"That's right. You did the right thing. We can't let others know about this for now!" Wang Lin was very satisfied with his eldest disciple's way of doing things. He immediately spoke. His eyes shone brightly as he nodded and said, "Because even though we know that Xiao Fan has arrived in Pill City, we don't know where he is right now. Reporting this information to the various great sects is valuable, but it isn't the most valuable information!"
"As long as we can find out where Xiao Fan is right now and report this information to the great sects, we will be able to gain the favor of the great sects and obtain the most generous rewards!"
"That's what I think too!" Wang Lin's eldest disciple also smiled and said, "Furthermore, if the news leaks out and reaches other people's ears, there will definitely be other people who will compete with us for the rewards of the great sects!"
"Wen Xuan, once this matter with Xiao Fan is over, I will pass on all my skills to you. From then on, you will be my disciple!" Wang Lin patted his eldest disciple's shoulder and said kindly.
"Thank you, Master!" Hearing Wang Lin's words, Wang Lin's eldest disciple suddenly became very excited and said. He almost knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Lin.
"Work hard for me, and I won't forget about you!" Wang Lin was becoming more and more satisfied with his eldest disciple. He stroked the short beard on his chin and said with a smile.
"Yes, Master!" Wang Lin's eldest disciple said forcefully.
"Go!" Without saying anything else, Wang Lin led his disciple in the direction of Soldier City, one of the nine major cities in Dragon Devouring City.
He wanted to personally confirm Xiao Fan's identity, and then search for Xiao Fan's whereabouts to obtain the generous rewards offered by the various great sects.
The two of them quickly left Pill City.
At the same time, the Pill King Assembly had officially begun.
.....
Boom!
Along with the deep and low sound of the bell, the clamor around the Pill King Stage completely quieted down. Then, the entire place fell into a complete silence, to the point where one could hear a pin drop.
"Alchemists, please come up to the stage!" A respectable old man walked out from the Wang Clan, one of the most influential alchemy families in Dan City. He stepped onto the Pill King Stage and announced to the audience in a loud voice under everyone's gazes.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the alchemists on the Pill Marquis Stage stood up and walked towards the bridge that connected the Pill Marquis Stage to the Pill King Stage.
"Alchemist Li, please!"
"Alchemist Ma, please!"
"Alchemist Sun, please too!"
"Please, please, please!"
The alchemists displayed the bearing and demeanor of a great master. They spoke to each other and invited each other up to the Pill King Stage. It was as if there was no intense competition for the position of Pill King.
Of course, this was only what everyone saw on the surface. As for whether the alchemists' true thoughts were the same as the polite and humble attitude on the surface, only they knew in their hearts.
"Ta!" "Ta!" "Ta!"
The alchemists had a warm smile on their faces as they walked up to the Pill King Stage side by side. In the clear surroundings, their footsteps collided with the ground. The sound of their footsteps was exceptionally clear.
However, it was at this moment that a strange change occurred!
Everyone below the stage, including the Golden Sword Prince and the others who came to watch the competition, narrowed their eyes and fell on a young black figure.
It was Xiao Fan!
After the other alchemists who were going to participate in the Pill King Assembly stood up, Xiao Fan slowly stood up and walked towards the bridge, preparing to step onto the Pill King Stage.
Xiao Fan's action immediately attracted everyone's surprised and doubtful gazes.
"Hmm?"
The reaction of the Alchemy Grandmasters who had already ascended the Pill King Stage could be considered quite sensitive. Seeing the astonished look on the faces of those below the stage, they were alerted to the change behind them and immediately turned around to look behind them in surprise.
"What?"
When they saw Xiao Fan walking towards the Pill King Stage, they were all stunned. Each and every one of them froze on the spot and looked at Xiao Fan in shock. They couldn't react in time.
Alchemist Chen Feng actually didn't participate in the Pill King Assembly this time. Instead, his disciple, Zhang Ying, represented him?
Below the stage!
"Alchemist Chen Feng's disciple is representing Alchemist Chen Feng in the Pill King Assembly?" Someone immediately exclaimed in shock. His voice traveled into the ears of everyone present.
"Is this in accordance with the rules?" The voice of the person who spoke immediately broke the silence in the air. Then, everyone present began to discuss this matter. There were even people who stood out and questioned loudly.
"Alchemist Chen Feng actually allowed his disciple to represent him in the Pill King Assembly? I've never seen this before! "At this moment, even more people opened their mouths and expressed their doubts.
"Everyone, according to the fifty-fourth rule of the Pill King Assembly, if an alchemist participating in the Pill King Assembly is unable to participate due to personal reasons, his disciple can represent him!" The respected elder from the Wang Family opened his mouth at this moment and said to everyone with a smile, "In this Pill King Assembly, Alchemist Chen Feng is unable to participate due to personal reasons. Sending his disciple, Zhang Ying, to represent him is completely in accordance with the rules. There is no need for anyone to question this!"
"Fifty-fourth rule? It seems like there is such a rule! " The moment the respected elder from the Wang Family finished speaking, the crowd below the stage fell into whispers again. Then, someone thought for a moment and nodded his head.
"There is indeed such a rule. However, this kind of situation usually doesn't occur. Therefore, after a long time, everyone has forgotten about this rule!" Someone opened his mouth and said.
"But even so, Alchemist Chen Feng is sending his disciple, Zhang Ying, to represent him. Could it be that Alchemist Chen Feng has already given up on the Pill King position?" Someone looked at Alchemist Chen Feng and then looked at Xiao Fan and said in surprise.
"What exactly is wrong with Alchemist Chen Feng's body? So much so that he has to give up on the Pill King position? You have to know that he doesn't have much time left. If he doesn't fight for the Pill King position this time, he won't have another chance! "Someone lamented with a face full of regret.
"It's good that he took the initiative to give up the Pill King position. This way, Alchemist Zhao Jue will have a higher chance of obtaining the Pill King position!" Someone laughed softly with a face full of joy.
"But what I don't understand is, since Alchemist Chen Feng took the initiative to give up the Pill King position, why did he send his disciple up to the stage?" Someone shook his head and said, "You have to know that the alchemist masters on the stage are all true masters. Their alchemy skills are already at the peak of perfection. However, Alchemist Chen Feng's disciple, Zhang Ying, is only so-so. I heard that his alchemy skills are only average. If he goes up to the stage, wouldn't he be embarrassing himself and humiliating himself?"
"Who knows what Alchemist Chen Feng is thinking? He actually wants his disciple to replace him and compete with the other alchemist masters on the same stage as him in the battle for the Pill King position? " Someone shrugged and looked at Xiao Fan with a pitiful gaze and said, "This is simply throwing an egg against a rock. He overestimates himself. Other than embarrassing himself in front of everyone, there is no other use for him!"
"Then who knows? In any case, I just want to know which alchemist master will obtain the Pill King position this time! " Someone was indifferent and said indifferently. He shifted his gaze away from Xiao Fan and lost all interest.
.....
"Master Chen Feng's disciple is going to fight?" On the Pill Marquis Stage, the Golden Sword Prince raised his sword-like eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Fan's back. He was a little surprised.
The other two prodigies on the Heaven Roll, as well as dozens of other prodigies from various sects, as well as the big shots from the Myriad Pill Pavilion, Jade Dragon Pill House, Medicine God Restaurant, and the alchemy families in Pill City, all looked at Xiao Fan's back with different expressions.
But soon, they lost all interest and shifted their gazes away, no longer paying attention.
Although he didn't know why Grandmaster Chen Feng would give up on the Pill King Competition, Pill City would still continue to operate without Grandmaster Chen Feng. Moreover, he was just a mere disciple of Grandmaster Chen Feng. He was even less important, so why should he care?
"In this competition, Zhao Jue, Master Zhao, should have the greatest chance!" The geniuses of the various sects, as well as the great alchemists of the Pill City, began to chat and laugh again. Their gazes all landed on the alchemists who had already ascended the Pill King Stage.
However!
Everyone regained their composure and no longer paid attention to Xiao Fan. Only the Jade Void Sect's disciple and the Saintess Qing Mo stayed close to Xiao Fan's back, unable to leave for a long time.
This was because the fear, nervousness, and strangeness that had disappeared earlier once again covered their entire bodies. Moreover, this time, the feeling was even stronger, causing the two of them to be extremely uneasy. Their entire bodies were filled with fear, and they were simply unable to calm down at all.
"Sister, Jade Void Sect's disciple, what's going on with the two of you?" Beside them, the Saintess Qing Yan noticed the strange expressions of the Jade Void Sect's disciple and the Saintess Qing Mo. She immediately frowned and asked.
