Chapter 635: Alchemy Apprentice Examination
"A key made of low grade spiritual god stones?"
Ning Qi's eyes flashed with curiosity.
Seeing that Ning Qi did not look greedy, Xie Linjiaqiang heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he did not trust the wrong person. After keeping the key, he said in a low voice, "I suspect that the Dou Sheng left behind an inheritance somewhere else, and the key to unlocking the inheritance is this key. I am currently looking for information on the Dou Sheng. As long as I find some clues, I might be able to obtain a huge amount of cultivation resources!"
"Oh."
Ning Qi nodded. He wasn't very interested.
Because even if this key was sold to the system as a low grade spiritual god stone, it would only be worth about a thousand Dragon Slayer coins. He had killed many dragons with Li Mochou during this period of time, and had almost ten thousand Dragon Slayer coins. Ning Qi was busy with missions and had no desire to find the Dou Sheng's inheritance.
"Oh yes, my name is Ning Beixuan now. Don't call me by the wrong name."
Ning Qi reminded him via voice transmission.
Xie Linjiaqiang's eyes flashed with doubt. Because he had been on the run, he did not see the latest Dragon Rankings, and did not know that Ning Qi was now first on the Dragon Rankings. Otherwise, he would know why Ning Qi suddenly changed his name.
"Brother Ning, I know."
Xie Linjiaqiang nodded and replied.
"The Evil Monarch Residence is recruiting servants. I heard that it is to find a few alchemy apprentices for his daughter, Xie Youlan. They will pay a thousand middle grade spirit crystals a year. Let's hurry over and take a look. Maybe we will be chosen."
"What? Really? A thousand middle grade spirit crystals a year? Is there such a good thing? Could it be a lie? "
"The Evil Monarch Residence's housekeeper personally spread the news. How can the third son of the Sky Demon Emperor lie? If you don't hurry, I will go myself! "
"Go go go, of course we are going!"
"Sky Demon Emperor's third son? What a coincidence. "
Ning Qi was thinking of how to steal the Water Dragon Sword without anyone noticing. This was his chance!
"Brother Xie Linjiaqiang, let's go and take a look."
Ning Qi smiled.
Xie Linjiaqiang felt that this scene was very familiar. Previously, he had gone to the Fang Family with Ning Qi to apply for the position, and Ning Qi had challenged Fang Mo.
This time … Ning Qi wouldn't have designs on the Evil Monarch Manor, right?
"Brother Ning, you have to think about it carefully. The Evil Prince is the third son of the Sky Demon Heavenly Emperor, a Rank Nine Monstrous Beast. He seems to have the bloodline of the Ancient Demon Clan in his body. Moreover, he has a violent temper and eats people at will. You must not challenge him again. After all, monstrous beasts are not as reasonable as us humans."
Xie Linjiaqiang quickly advised.
"Don't worry, I'm here to find something to do, not to challenge you."
Ning Qi laughed.
Hearing that, Xie Lin Jiaqiang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, he happily rushed towards the Evil Monarch Manor with Ning Qi.
When they arrived, they discovered that there were more than a thousand people who had come to apply for the position. These thousand people were led by the servants of the Evil Monarch Manor and lined up in an orderly manner. In front of them, there was an incomparably huge plaza. There was a tall platform on it, and a man and a woman were sitting on it.
The man appeared to be in his twenties. His eyes were incomparably cold, and his face was chiseled. He was half a head shorter than an ordinary human youth. He was only 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall. There was an incomparably lazy white tiger lying beside his feet. The aura of a peak Dou Zun was faintly being emitted from this tiger. It was a rank 8 Boss, the 'Heaven Swallowing White Tiger'!
"Could that man be the third son of the Sky Demon Heavenly Emperor, the Evil Monarch? It's rumored that he has lived for more than 8000 years? "
Ning Qi's eyes were somewhat solemn. He couldn't see through the aura of the youth, and the system didn't display his attributes either. They were all question marks.
Ning Qi could clearly see the little girl beside the youth. She was a Rank Seven Demonic Beast, and her strength was probably similar to Dongfang Hao Jie's. Her name was Xie You Lan, and she was the daughter of the Evil Monarch mentioned by the passersby.
Behind the two stood over a dozen guards. The aura of each guard was not weaker than the Heaven Swallowing White Tiger. One of them even surpassed the Heaven Swallowing White Tiger. Ning Qi suspected that this fellow was also a Rank Nine Demonic Beast!
"Stealing the Water Dragon Sword under their noses, this mission doesn't seem very possible …" Ye Chen muttered to himself.
Ning Qi sighed in his heart.
This time, those who came to apply for the position of Xie You Lan's alchemy assistant were basically all Dou Wang to Dou Huang. Only a few were Dou Zongs, and those Dou Zongs were obviously not here for the one thousand middle grade Spirit Crystals a year. They probably wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Xie You Lan to establish a relationship with the Evil Monarch.
"I heard that they are only accepting four alchemy assistants this time. With so many people competing for four positions, and among them are Dou Zongs or Rank Seven Demonic Beasts, we don't seem to have much chance of winning. Why don't we leave and see if we can find other opportunities?"
Xie Lin Jia forced a smile and transmitted his voice.
Ning Qi replied, "Let's see what happens first."
"Alright."
Xie Lin Jia nodded.
"Oh, my dear daughter, almost everyone is here. Take a look at the one you like and recruit him as an alchemy assistant. I still have something important to do."
On the high platform, the young man glanced at the crowd indifferently, as if the heavens were looking at ants. There was no emotion in his eyes. However, when he turned his head to speak to Xie You Lan, there was a trace of doting on his face.
It was extremely difficult for his race to give birth to children. In the past eight thousand years, he had only given birth to three sons, and Xie Youlan was the crystallization of his hard work a hundred years ago. Therefore, the Evil Monarch had always cherished Xie Youlan like a pearl in his palm.
Xie You Lan was also very diligent. In a hundred years, she had broken through to Rank Seven and entered the top 150 of the Ranking List of Young Masters. Moreover, she was talented in alchemy. It should be known that demonic beasts were different from humans. In a hundred human cultivators, there might be one alchemist.
However, in a hundred thousand demonic beasts, there might not be one alchemist or blacksmith.
As for Xie You Lan, she was already an alchemy grandmaster. Among the demonic alchemists in Celestial Demon City, she was ranked in the top ten. Those who were better than her were old demonic beasts that had lived for two to three thousand years!
"Father, don't worry. I only have one requirement for the four alchemy assistants I'm recruiting today, and that is that they must have strong bodies. This is because the 'Ten Thousand Catty Grass' they will touch cannot come in contact with battle energy."
Xie You Lan smiled.
"Ten Thousand Catty Grass?"
The Evil Monarch's eyes flashed with a hint of realization. No wonder his daughter suddenly wanted to recruit alchemy assistants. It was for the 'Ten Thousand Catty Grass'.
Xie You Lan stood up and jumped off the high platform. Under the gaze of a thousand pairs of eyes, she came to the center of the square. With a wave of her hand, a small hill that was more than ten meters tall appeared in front of her.
"Whoever can lift it with physical strength can become my alchemy assistant. However, you are not allowed to use any battle energy. Otherwise, it will be seen as cheating. "
Xie You Lan said lightly.
When the crowd heard this, they looked at each other speechlessly.
Even if it was a demonic beast, it would need to be at least a Rank Seven or Rank Eight demonic beast to lift this small hill with its physical strength, right?
Although it was more than ten meters tall, it was already very tall when it stood up. It was equivalent to the height of a seven or eight story building on Earth!
Some of the humans shook their heads and left in disappointment. The strength of the human race was definitely not comparable to that of the demonic beasts. Therefore, it was meaningless for them to stay.
"Brother Ning, let's go."
Xie Lin Jiaqiang transmitted his voice.
At this time, a strong man had already walked towards the small hill.
