Yun Fan and Meng Miao followed Cheng Jing into the Alchemist Guild's main hall. There were already many alchemists walking around.
When the alchemists saw Cheng Jing, they cupped their fists respectfully and greeted her, "Master Cheng."
Cheng Jing nodded slightly in response.
It was obvious that Cheng Jing's reputation was well known in the Alchemist Guild.
"I'm an elder of the Alchemist Guild. When these people see me, they naturally have to greet me," Cheng Jing explained.
Yun Fan nodded slightly and did not say anything.
Cheng Jing looked at Yun Fan and said, "If you want such treatment, I can also recommend you to the president. With your alchemy skills, you can also get the title of an elder."
Yun Fan chuckled and shook his head. He wasn't interested in such flashy things. His purpose for coming this time was to obtain the Primary Sacred Metal.
Cheng Jing looked at Yun Fan and shook her head helplessly. She knew that the latter was not interested in the Alchemist Guild.
She did not say anything else and led Yun Fan and Meng Miao upstairs.
Because of Cheng Jing's status, no one dared to stop her.
Cheng Jing came to a door and said, "This is the president's room. I'll bring you here to register."
"Isn't the registration downstairs?"
Yun Fan pointed at the long line of people in front of him in confusion.
Cheng Jing straightened her back and said proudly, "I'm an elder of the Alchemist Guild. Do you think I'm just a decoration? If you want to register there, you have to go through the preliminaries and other stages. I'll bring you to the president to register. It will save you some unnecessary things. Are you willing to participate in the preliminaries? "
"Uh …"
Yun Fan was speechless. This old man was so arrogant. However, he really needed Cheng Jing's help. Of course, he did not want to participate in the preliminaries.
To him, participating in those kinds of competitions was purely a waste of time.
"Who doesn't need to participate in the preliminaries?" Yun Fan asked curiously.
Cheng Jing said, "The deacons and above in the Alchemist Guild don't need to participate in the preliminaries. Elders and above can also recommend two people to participate in the competition."
She looked at Xiang Yunfan and Meng Miao as she said, "My quota will be used on the two of you."
"Thank you, Master," Meng Miao said gratefully.
Cheng Jing waved her hand and said, "You don't have to thank me. With your strength, passing the preliminaries is and the preliminaries will be easy. It's just that it saves some trouble."
However, as he spoke, he revealed a rather complacent expression. It was as if he was pleased that he had finally displayed some of his might in front of Yun Fan.
Soon after, Cheng Jing pushed open the door and entered. Yun Fan followed behind her.
After Yun Fan entered the house, he saw that the interior of the house was filled with some rare spiritual herbs. A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air, causing one to feel relaxed and happy after smelling it.
In the middle of the room, a white-haired old man was sitting behind a large square table. He was wearing a grey robe and looked even older than Cheng Jing.
However, his eyes were bright and he didn't look old at all.
There were two people standing in front of the grey-robed old man. A man and a woman, one old and one young.
The man's age was similar to Cheng Jing's, while the woman was very young. From her appearance, she looked like she was in her early twenties.
Yun Fan looked over. This girl was very beautiful, especially her pair of eyes that were very lively. Her figure was very good, but there was an unconcealable arrogance on her face.
When the woman saw Yun Fan looking at her, she rolled her eyes at Yun Fan in disdain. She deliberately turned her head and looked away. She couldn't be bothered to look at Yun Fan.
Before Yun Fan and the others came in, the three of them were chatting happily. When they came in, the three of them turned their attention to them.
"Haha, I was wondering who had come. So it's the defeated opponent of this old man …"
The old man standing beside the young woman was also wearing a spotless blue robe. However, his gaze towards Cheng Jing was full of provocation and ridicule.
"Ouyang Nan, don't be too proud! When did this old man become your defeated opponent? It's not certain who will win this time! "
When Cheng Jing saw the old man, her face instantly turned ugly.
She didn't expect to meet her arch-enemy, Ouyang Nan, here.
Ouyang Nan snorted coldly and turned his gaze towards Meng Miao and Yun Fan. He said mockingly, "I believe these two little dolls are your new disciples? They don't look like much. However, this is normal. What kind of good disciple can a guy with mediocre alchemy skills bring up? "
"Ouyang Nan, don't go overboard! If you have the guts, let's have a competition now. Whoever loses will kneel down and kowtow to the other party three times! "
Cheng Jing's anger was ignited and she issued a challenge to Ouyang Nan.
"Let's have a competition then. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Don't even think of beating me in this lifetime!" Ouyang Nan didn't back down and directly accepted the challenge.
Just as the two of them were about to head to the alchemy room, the gray-robed old man, who had been silent all this while, opened his mouth and said, "Enough! Both of you are elders of my Alchemy Guild. How can you quarrel the moment you see each other? Do you still have any respect for me, the guild leader? "
When the gray-robed old man spoke, Cheng Jing and Ouyang Nan didn't say anything else. Instead, they glared at each other, causing sparks to fly in the air.
The gray-robed old man sighed helplessly. Soon after, he changed the topic and said, "Cheng Jing, are these the people you brought here?"
When Cheng Jing heard this, she hurriedly said, "Yes, guild leader. These two are the seeded contestants that I recommended."
She then looked at Xiang Yunfan and Meng Miao and said, "This is the guild leader of my Northern Xuan Region's Alchemy Guild, Geng Jie. Quickly greet him."
Meng Miao didn't dare to delay and hurriedly said respectfully, "Greetings to guild leader Geng Jie."
Yun Fan also cupped his hands together and greeted Geng Jie.
Given his status as the ruler of a middle class continent, there was no need for him to bow and scrape before Geng Jie.
Just as Cheng Jing was about to say something, Ouyang Nan mocked, "President, it's better to review the two little fellows that Cheng Jing has recommended. Otherwise, if they go to the finals, they'll embarrass our Alchemist Guild."
"Ouyang Nan, what do you mean? Don't tell me that the person you, Ouyang Nan, recommended is much better than me, Cheng Jing? "
Ouyang Nan mocked, "This is my little disciple, Li Mujin. This old man dares to bet that even if your two disciples are combined, they won't be half as good as my disciple Jin 'er!"
Cheng Jing straightened her neck and said, "Then let's compete?"
"Let's compete. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Ouyang Nan coldly snorted.
When he saw this, Geng Jie helplessly shook his head. Soon after, he said indifferently, "It just so happens that this old man wants to test their alchemy skills. Follow me!"
As he spoke, he led the way into the inner room.
Ouyang Nan sneered, "Cheng Jing, this time I'll definitely convince you. I'll let you know that not only is this old man's alchemy skills better than yours, even the disciples I've taught are a hundred times better than yours!"
