Ye Zhong just briefly comforted Ye Xinlan and then went straight to Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brother and sister.
The smile on his face almost made his old face wrinkle together, and his eyes became slits. If he hadn't known Ye Chong's personality, he might have thought that he was a kind-hearted person.
"Elder Ye, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it later!"
Xiao Xue knew very well that Ye Zhong's next operation was just a compliment, wasn't it? It was really hypocritical. If she still stepped on the points to advance, or just stretched her hips, she didn't know what kind of treatment she would get.
Before Xiao Xue could wait for Ye Zhong to respond, she led Ah Li straight out of the viewing area, leaving Ye Zhong standing awkwardly.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan knew why Xiao Xue was treating Ye Zhong, and hurriedly explained: "Elder Ye, my little sister is probably tired. She didn't get a good rest last night for today's competition."
Although Xiao Yan was very cool with Ye Zhong, if it weren't for the Yanghuo Ancient Altar in the Ye family, he would really not want to deal with Ye Zhong.
"It doesn't matter, Miss Xiao is doing it for the Ye family. She should have a good rest, but we were not thoughtful enough."
Ye Chong said that, but he didn't think so in his heart, and the group didn't say anything else.
Looking at Xiao Xue's retreating figure, Cao Ying's fierce eyes stared closely at him.
"Yinger."
Cao Ying came back to her senses after hearing the shouting, and saw her father looking at her.
Cao Ying hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Yinger, what are you looking at? Is it that Xiao Xue?"
At this time, Xiao Xue's figure had long disappeared. Cao Ying did not answer her father's question, but Cao Ying's father could naturally see what Cao Ying was thinking.
"Ying'er, it's just a promotion round. As long as you defeat her in the finals, you are still the number one young alchemy genius in the Alchemy Domain."
Cao Ying received encouragement from her father and nodded fiercely. In her heart, defeating Xiao Xue was her top priority in the finals.
After a day of rest, Ye Zhong asked Ye Xinlan to find Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brother and sister.
Compared with the previous treatment, they were completely different. Of course, this only refers to Xiao Xue, but he was very polite to Xiao Yan from beginning to end.
"I invited you two to come over today to discuss something."
Ye Chong was very polite and smiled the whole time, fearing that he would offend Xiao Xue and cause them not to participate in the competition.
Ye Zhong learned from Ye Xinlan that Xiao Yan would listen to Xiao Xue's words. If Xiao Xue did not participate in the finals, Xiao Yan might also give up, and then the Ye family would become a joke to the five major families.
In fact, Ye Zhong was overly concerned about this point. Xiao Xue was not the kind of person who was petty and would not give up the game because of such factors.
It's just that some people will reflect their own thoughts on others.
"Elder Ye, please speak!"
"Maybe you don't know the rules of the finals. According to observations over the years, each major family needs to prepare their own medicinal herbs for the finals. So I invite you here this time to ask how many elixirs you are going to refine?"
So that I can prepare it for you two."
Ye Chong hinted with trepidation that he would prepare medicinal herbs based on his own strength in the finals, but also wanted to get specific strength from Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brothers and sisters.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
"Elder Ye, Xinlan told us about this last night. Now Cao Ying of the Cao family and Dan Chen of the Dan family are both eighth-grade alchemists. The only way the Ye family can get first place is to refine eighth-grade elixirs.
, so I discussed it with my little sister, and we both refined the eighth-grade elixir in the finals."
Hearing this, Ye Chong's overjoyed expression was beyond words and he almost started dancing.
However, for the sake of face, I restrained myself a little.
"Okay, just."
"Just what?"
"The medicinal herbs prepared before leaving this time are only for refining seventh-grade intermediate elixirs." Ye Zhong really did not think about Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brothers and sisters being able to refine higher-grade elixirs.
Ye Xinlan saw Ye Zhong's embarrassing situation. She had previously had reservations about Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue's strength.
She also never thought about Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue being able to refine eighth-grade elixirs. In Ye Xinlan's mind, seventh-grade high-level elixirs were almost the limit.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan opened his mouth and asked for an eighth-grade elixir, which caught Ye Zhong off guard, who was not fully prepared.
This also completely exposed the strength of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue to other families. There was no need to wait until the finals.
"Um, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue, don't forget me. Even I can't believe you have such strength, but don't worry, I will buy the medicinal materials."
There were only four days left and there was no time to go out and pick, but the eighth-grade primary elixir Xiao Yan needed was enough.
As for the medicinal herbs that I want to refine the eighth-grade high-grade elixir, I still need to buy this.
However, this is just to help the Ye family, why pay for it yourself? Unless you don’t buy it, you shouldn’t be taken advantage of.
"Xinlan, why don't you go with them, so that they can buy whatever they need. Here is the money they need."
Ye Xinlan took the Najie from Ye Zhong, but Xiao Xue said there was no rush and she would wait until the last day.
After all, both the Cao family and the Dan family have eighth-grade alchemists, and they will prepare it themselves. As for the Bai family and the Qiu family, they cannot refine the eighth-grade elixir at all, so they can only give up the herbs needed for the eighth-grade elixir.
"Why is this?" Ye Xinlan didn't quite understand what Xiao Xue said.
Xiao Yan explained: "My little sister is afraid of exposing her strength too early. After all, this is a competition venue. The five major families must have their own spies in the herb purchasing area."
"I understand, Xiao Xue, how did your head grow? You're so smart."
"Don't praise me!" Xiao Xue also rarely laughed out loud.
As the last day of the competition approached, Xiao Xue, Xiao Yan, Ye Xinlan, and Ah Li left the house early.
Sure enough, as soon as the four of them left the Ye family rest area, someone followed them secretly.
But he quickly got rid of the two people who were following him. It's true, it was just a limelight, so why did he get noticed?
The four of them went around a long circle before going straight to the herb buying area. The size of the trading market exceeded Xiao Xue and others' understanding.
Compared to the trading market of the Gama Empire Alchemist Association, it is really like a grandchild's.
The herbs inside are at least required for fourth-grade elixirs. There is no way to compare them. This may be called no comparison, no harm.
I didn't find the herbs I needed in the circle outside, but I found one for Xiao Yan.
The four of them continued walking towards the trading center further inside. The closer they got inside, the more precious the herbs that appeared in the trading market became.
Some rare medicinal herbs are placed in the trading area. These people are all of high cultivation, and they are all Douzong who are looking at the gate.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue's eyes lit up, and an incomplete map appeared in front of them.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brother and sister reached for the map at the same time. At this moment, one person's hand also touched the map.
