"Seventeenth place? Not bad, not bad. You can achieve this result among more than 200 alchemy masters. Grandpa's love for you is not in vain."

In a luxurious mansion, Gongsun Shuyang was holding a jade mirror, and the shadow of an old man flickered.

The old man had a kind smile on his face, giving people a sense of stability, but the sparkle in his eyes that flashed from time to time was so unfathomable!

This man was the tripod bearer of the Gongsun family and the grandfather of Gongsun Shuyang.

Gongsun Shuyang smiled, it was pretty good to be ranked among the top 10%.

The old man added: "When you come back, grandpa will definitely reward you, but you must not be arrogant, and you must maintain your composure in the subsequent competitions, do you understand?"

"My grandson understands!"

Gongsun Shuyang nodded, but saw that the old man seemed to have thought of something and asked: "By the way, I heard from your cousin that in this first competition, someone tied for the championship with the girl from the Feng family. Is it true?"

When Gongsun Shuyang mentioned this matter, his mouth twitched, his face looked a little unnatural, and he cursed in his heart why he told his family everything!

I wonder if this young man was just disgraced by that guy!

But there are some things that cannot be covered by paper. Gongsun Shuyang could only nod and admit: "There is indeed such a person, but this is just the first competition."

When the old man heard this, he frowned: "The first competition is also a competition. Besides, can't you see it? The reason why the Feng family is willing to hold the Tianjiao meeting with great fanfare is because they want to take the opportunity to become famous."

"That girl from the Feng family is indeed not simple. She can catch up with some old guys at such a young age. If she can be on par with her, how can she be an ordinary person?"

After the lesson, the old man said again: "You should humbly ask others for advice, and don't focus on that girl Yanan!"

The corners of Gongsun Shuyang's mouth twitched. It was not that he was asked about love by his elders, but... he was asking that guy for advice?

He wished Qin Yichen would suddenly die suddenly while walking on the road!

And the old man warned: "Also, if you can make friends with others, you must not make enemies, you know?"

"..."

Gongsun Shuyang was speechless for a while, thinking that I seemed to have become enemies with that guy!

Being persuaded by his elders to make friends with the guy who made him lose face, Gongsun Shuyang felt disgusted...

Fortunately, after the old man gave a few more instructions, the shadow gradually disappeared, leaving only Gongsun Shuyang. The obedient and restrained attitude when facing his elders was replaced by a cold and stern look.

"Hmph, that guy is worthy enough for me to lower my status and make friends with you!?"

"Isn't it just that the first game got a little limelight? There are two more games to come, so I don't believe it!"

At the same time, in an antique courtyard.

"You said that besides that girl from the Feng family, there is someone whose grades are better than yours?"

The phantom of an old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his aura of having been in a high position for a long time made even the proud Zhong Qinglin have to bow his head.

"Back to my ancestors, this is indeed true. Both that man's and Feng Fangyi's scores are slightly better than mine..."

The old man sighed, then opened his eyes again, but with a stern expression: "Qing Lin, have you been lazy in the past few years?"

When Zhong Qinglin heard this, he trembled: "Absolutely not, my grandson has never slacked off!"

The old man looked at it for a moment, and then his tone softened slightly: "It's good that you know. Don't blame the ancestor for being mean to you. You are different from others. You have been like this from the moment you stepped into the alchemy path. Do you understand?"

"Qing Lin understands!"

Zhong Qinglin lowered his head slightly, but his eyes flickered: "Ancestor, don't worry, spiritual attainment is just the first test for the alchemist. In the subsequent competitions, Qinglin will definitely take back the first place!"

"Um."

The old man finally showed his approval: "This is what my future head of the Zhong family should look like. My ancestor is waiting for the good news of your triumph..."

The shadow gradually disappeared, and Zhong Qinglin, who was sitting upright, slowly raised his head. The respect disappeared, and was replaced by a sharp light like a sword!

"Just wait and see, whether you are Qin Yichen or Feng Fangyi, I, Zhong Qinglin, have never known what it means to be second!"

This scene was staged everywhere in Tianyuan City.

The alchemists who participated in the Tianjiao Association were all questioned by the forces behind them.

In addition to asking about grades and encouragement, it is inevitable to ask who is the first. This is similar to the way parents ask who is the first in your class every time you take an exam.

Since then, alchemists from all over the world have mentioned Qin Yichen's name, whether they like it or not!

The fact that he was able to compete with the enchantress of the Feng family soon spread to the ears of the big shots in the alchemy families.

Especially after Tianlin City Yi Wen found out, it was a blessing. Fortunately, he did not make enemies again, otherwise the consequences would not only be Liutian City's anger...

However, Qin Yichen had no idea what had happened. He was sitting in a restaurant, but his reputation spread throughout the four war circles.

Although it was only the first competition, Qin Yichen was not unknown when he first arrived, but gradually approached the requirements Zhan Wuyuan left for him...

After drinking and having fun, Qin Yichen opened the window after returning to the inn. He was really tired of being asked when he was walking on the street just now.

"There are still seven days until the second competition. There is no time to recuperate the sea of ​​consciousness."

The true energy surged slightly, and the alcoholic energy dissipated.

But Qin Yichen still frowned slightly, even slightly worried: "The first competition is about spiritual attainments, and the subsequent competitions will definitely be about alchemy."

If he were in the Continent of Ten Thousand Races, he certainly wouldn't have to worry.

But here, it became his shortcoming.

There is no other reason. Qin Yichen has never come into contact with many medicinal materials and elixirs, so he is definitely at a disadvantage compared to other disciples of the aristocratic family.

"Forget it, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth, and just go all out."

After muttering softly, Qin Yichen thought of something serious!

Purchase materials such as frost grass!

This is a top priority!

However, the purchases made by Xue Chitian and others were ultimately too small, and after all, they could only be limited to Tianyuan City.

When Zhan Jinrong asked about his results just now, Qin Yichen wanted to discuss it with him, but he was in a restaurant and there were many people and distractions.

Taking this opportunity, Qin Yichen finally took out the Liutian Token after some thought.

After a while, Lin Huaxian's shadow appeared.

"Boy Qin, what's wrong?"

But Qin Yichen's face was solemn: "Senior Lin, I have important matters to discuss with the Lord of the City."

Lin Huaxian was startled, but looking at the rare solemnity on that handsome face, he didn't ask any more questions, only saying "wait a moment."

I just couldn't help but murmur in my heart, I just contacted you, what happened?

After a while, Zhan Jinrong's figure gradually emerged, with some doubts on his face.

But just to discuss important matters, he can directly communicate with Zhan Jinrong, which shows Qin Yichen's current status.

"Yichen, why are you looking for me?"
