"Haha, senior brother, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so quick to talk to me!"
Yao Wenhao, who had already put on a brand-new alchemy robe, stepped out. He didn't mind at all the slightly rude words of the visitor, but instead greeted him with a smile.
"Haha, Junior Medicine Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still so calm, calm and polite!"
Among the visitors, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, with a thin body, a withered face, black eyes, and a tall aquiline nose came out with a smile and slightly arched his hands.
However, his whole body exuded a sinister aura, and even his laughter contained a hint of gloomy chill.
This person is none other than Yao Wenhao's senior brother, the assessment alchemist sent by the Babao Pavilion headquarters this time, Guituo!
"Senior Brother Guituo, his style remains the same!"
Yao Wenhao also returned the gift with his hand and stepped forward to greet him; but after his eyes passed Guituo and fell on an old man with white hair and a dragon-headed cane, he suddenly froze and his pupils shrank.
"Master Shengkang?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Yao Wenhao's eyes, and he soon regained his composure. He bowed deeply to the old man with a respectful expression and said, "Sage, why are you here? I apologize for not being able to greet you from far away!"
“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter!”
Sheng Kang stopped while leaning on his cane, waved his hand kindly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yao, now you are also the chief pavilion master of the branch. Your status does not need to be lower than that of an old man like me. You don't need to be polite, you don't need to be polite!"
"What did the saint say? No matter what the writer's status is, you are the writer's benefactor in this life and one of the people he respects most!"
Yao Wenhao's attitude was quite humble. He bowed deeply and said respectfully: "No matter how long it takes, I will never forget the teachings that the old saint taught me. If I had known earlier that the person in charge of this exam would be you, the holy old man."
, the literary giant should have been waiting outside the city gate long ago!"
Sheng Kang is one of the three great alchemists at the Babao Pavilion headquarters, and is also an intermediate alchemist. His status is even at the Babao Pavilion headquarters, he is named a master and is highly respected.
Yao Wenhao never expected that Babao Pavilion would send Master Shengkang to be the invigilator for this exam. It seems that the headquarters attaches great importance to this assessment!
"Junior Medicine Brother, what you said makes Brother Wei feel so uncomfortable?"
At this moment, Guituo stepped forward and was about to put his arms around Yao Wenhao's shoulders, and said sadly: "When the Holy Master comes, you have to go out of the city to greet me; when I come to your senior brother, you can't even open the door."
Not even out?"
"What's the matter? We haven't seen each other for many years, and you feel resentment toward me, senior brother?"
"How dare a literary man!"
Yao Wenhao calmly avoided Guituo, bowed his hands and bowed: "It's just that the senior brother and I are our own brothers. This time, when the senior brother comes, it's like going home, so why do we need to see him outside?"
"Go home? Hehe..."
Guituo did not feel the slightest embarrassment. He retracted his arm and said with a grin: "Brother Yao, be careful what you said has come true! If you fail to pass this year's assessment, I will really go home this time, and to your own home."
!”
"Senior brother, don't worry. Regardless of whether there is an assessment or not, the home of a literary figure is still your home, senior brother."
The medicine writer replied with a sly smile: "However, senior brother, your own home will not be here!"
"Really?"
Guituo's pupils narrowed, and his whole body became a little more gloomy.
Seeing that the two of them were vaguely quarreling with each other when they first met, Sheng Kang smiled faintly and waved his hands directly: "You two used to fight a lot in the headquarters back then. How come you haven't changed this problem after so many years here?"
We are a family, we must know how to be harmonious and make money!”
"What's more, even if we want to fight, now is not the time!"
"yes!"
As soon as these words came out, Guituo immediately restrained his arrogance and replied with his hands raised.
"That's what the Holy Father taught!"
Yao Wenhao's expression became respectful again, which was completely different from his attitude towards Guituo. He humbly said: "Sage, I have come a long way. The journey has been hard. Wenhao will arrange a room for you to rest!"
"No need!"
At this moment, Sheng Kang waved his hand again and said: "Time is tight and the task is heavy; since you are all here, let's start the competition as soon as possible. After all, Cangyun Empire is only the first stop, and there are several empire branches behind it, and I need this
The old man is going!"
"That's fine!"
After hearing this, Yao Wenhao didn't say much and immediately led everyone straight to the alchemy room in the Babao Pavilion to prepare for the competition.
This alchemy room was prepared by the medicinal writer long ago; it contains two high-quality alchemy furnaces and all kinds of medicinal materials.
Seeing this scene, Guituo was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to select an alchemy furnace and walked over.
The drug writer smiled and said nothing, and walked towards another pill furnace.
With Ye Wushuang's previous guidance, he was quite confident about today's assessment; he was even so confident that he was ready to fight without notifying Ye Wushuang at all.
After all, through Ye Wushuang's explanation, at this moment, his alchemy skills have improved by more than a tiny bit.
Seeing that the two of them were so self-conscious, Sheng Kang didn't say much and took the rest of the people to sit aside. He smiled and said, "Are you two ready?"
"alright!"
Yao Wenhao and Guituo answered in unison.
Sheng Kang nodded slightly, raised his crutch, and waved it in the air between the two of them. A blue barrier emerged, directly dividing the entire alchemy room into two, separating them from each other.
"The rules are the same as before, so I won't go into details. Get ready to start!"
After doing this, Sheng Kang gave an order and then sat quietly and watched, staring at both sides.
Hearing this, Guituo smiled sinisterly, and without saying much, he directly began to select medicinal materials and prepare to refine the elixir.
As Zeng Jin's eldest brother, his alchemy skills were much higher than those of the medicine writer. In the alchemy competition, he thought he was sure to win.
As for the theoretical test questions, he had worked hard and prepared them early; even Sheng Kang, who was respected by others and was named a master, might not be able to answer them. He was confident that it would be absolutely impossible for the medicine writer to answer them.
As a result, the drug writer will definitely lose both tests in this assessment; moreover, he will fail miserably!
After today, the position of chief pavilion master of the Eight Treasure Pavilion of Cangyun Empire belongs to none other than Guituo!
At the same time, just as the two began to compete, in an alchemy room not far away from them, Yao Jiaxuan was standing stiffly on the spot, with his eyes even wider, staring in front of him in disbelief.
Ye Wushuang's.
"Brother, are you, what you said is true?"
"I...did I really pass the test this morning?"
At this moment, Yao Jiaxuan's heart was almost filled with turmoil.
Just now, Yaojiaxuan, who was busy getting all the medicinal materials, was helping Ye Wushuang clean up the auxiliary medicinal materials, while tentatively asking Ye Wushuang what he thought of his performance in the morning.
As a result, I got Ye Wushuang's words: "It's not bad, I can barely pass the test"!
Although what Ye Wushuang said was neither salty nor light, when it fell into Yao Jiaxuan's ears, it immediately caused huge waves.
Passing the test means that he has passed the alchemy test and has taken a crucial step towards truly becoming Ye Wushuang's younger brother.
"Are you so excited?"
Ye Wushuang, who was cleaning the blood cockroaches, frowned slightly, glanced at Yao Jiaxuan, and said lightly: "It's just a test of alchemy. If I told you that you have passed all the tests, would you be crazy?"
?”
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Jiaxuan was stunned, pursed his lips dryly, and asked cautiously and unbelievably: "Brother, you said I passed all three tests?"
"Um!"
Ye Wushuang looked calm at the moment and said slowly: "You have passed!"
"this..."
Yao Jiaxuan was completely stunned, and then his eyes turned red and wet!
