……
At the same time.
In the VIP hall of Tianyuan Danfang, all the heads of the aristocratic families have also learned the results of the examination papers and their ranking order.
At the same time, the thirteen young alchemists who were selected were also called to the VIP room and stayed with the heads of their respective families to wait for the results to be announced.
Only Si Xinghai, who has no family, found a corner to stand by himself and did not talk to the family members around him, as if he was not in the same time and space as them.
On the table in the corner, the red copper incense burner is emitting curls of incense, like smoke and mist, swirling and rising. On the beam above his head, a beautifully carved fluorescent stone lamp was emitting a bright and warm light.
The decoration in this VIP room is luxurious but not high-key, exuding an elegant atmosphere.
However, even so, it cannot conceal the undercurrent surging in the air.
"Hahaha~ Brother Yuwen, congratulations." Qian Jingde, the elder of the Qian family, picked up the tea cup and glanced at the Yuwen family elder next to him with a smile, "Your family Nianjing is ranked third, and this one is mostly available. Can't run away."
This elder is Qian Xuefu’s biological grandfather, and one of the Heavenly Realm elders of the Qian family.
The Zifu family is different from the Tianren family. Only the monks in the Zifu realm are the true ancestors of the family.
However, even if he is only an elder in the Heavenly Realm, Qian Jingde's style is not small when he goes out. Compared with the ancestors of ordinary seventh-grade families, his status is only higher but not lower.
"Let Nian Jing come to participate this time, just to train her." Yu Wen Jinghong smiled heartily and did not answer his words, "The third place result is not considered stable. It depends on Dan Ding. What the Master meant. But the Dongfang family has produced an amazing Qilinzi. He can win the first place in front of many young and outstanding alchemists, which shows that he has a lot of background."
This Yuwen Jinghong is naturally an elder of the Yuwen clan in the Heavenly Realm.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention immediately turned to Dongfang Family's Heavenly Ancestor, Dongfang Bohua.
Bohua, the ancestor of the Dongfang clan, is over three hundred years old. Not only is his beard white, but his lifespan is running out, and he looks like a withered old man.
However, his eyes at this moment were extremely bright and filled with excitement.
Great~ Dongfang’s hard life is finally over~
The family's heavenly seeds failed to attack the heavenly realm twice before, which had already emptied the Dongfang family's family fortune. If it had not been for the birth of an outstanding child like Dongfang Yuxi, the Dongfang family would have declined and been reduced to an eighth-grade family.
Now that Dongfang Yuxi has ranked first in the exam, she will definitely be accepted as a disciple by Master Alchemy. In this way, even if Dongfang Bohua runs out of life in the future, the Dongfang family will rise again sooner or later, and even go higher.
However, no matter how excited he felt, Patriarch Bohua had lived for hundreds of years, but he didn’t show it on his face. He still had a humble and kind attitude, stroking his beard and smiling: "Hahaha~Miu Zan Wow~ I’m so impressed~ Yuxi, this kid, just works a little harder than usual, how could Brother Yuwen be so awesome?”
After the death of Patriarch Bohua, Dongfang Yuxi still looked unfazed and calm as usual, as if winning the first place was not worth showing off.
Everyone nodded secretly.
Even at such a young age, he is unfazed by favors and humiliations. This boy’s potential in the future may not be low.
As you come and go, none of the big guys revealed too much, but they all already made their own judgments in their hearts. In his words, he naturally showed some intention of wooing the young and old of the Dongfang clan.
Which person who can serve as the patriarch or elder in a large family is not a human spirit?
They naturally understand that if Dongfang Yuxi can really become a disciple of Master Alchemy today, the Dongfang family will definitely rise in the future, and may even become a sixth-grade family.
At this time, it is naturally beneficial and harmful to win over and make friends.
It’s a pity that other people...
The elders of the Qian family, the Yuwen family and other major families glanced at Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouye vaguely, and they couldn't help but feel sorry in their hearts.
That Wang Shouye looks young, and his basic skills are also very solid. He is obviously a good prospect. Unfortunately, he was only second. Master Alchemy has only accepted three disciples, so the chance of getting his turn is very slim.
Who said that the Wang family was just a small seventh-grade family in a remote area?
That Wang Shouye cannot worship the Alchemy Cauldron Master as his teacher this time, and his future growth will definitely not be as good as Dongfang Yuxi's, and the gap will inevitably become wider and wider.
It's a pity, it's a pity.
Wang Shouye felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles in the eyes of everyone, and he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.
Wang Shouzhe was not affected much. He remained calm and collected, and he was even in the mood to enjoy tea and snacks.
That's when.
The door to the room suddenly opened with a creak, and a light blue figure appeared outside the door.
Under the light, her skirt is swaying, and her temperament is as clear and pure as a green lotus emerging from the water. This is exactly what Gu Han said, "the two best qualities of elixir and medicine".
The room suddenly became silent.
Gu Hanyu is a disciple of Master Danding and the person in charge of this selection. When she comes out at this time, she must be here to announce the results.
Everyone stopped talking and stood up to greet him, their faces unconsciously showing a look of anticipation.
"Everyone should already know that in this disciple selection meeting, Master will select three alchemists to be accepted as disciples." Gu Hanyu moved lightly and walked slowly to the front of the crowd. He spoke loudly, "The first candidate is the third-grade alchemist, Qian Xuefu."
After the words fell, everyone's faces suddenly showed expressions of "Sure enough."
Although everyone has already speculated, secretly, they still can't help but have some delusions, hoping that the Alchemy Master can be unconventional and not focus on family background when selecting people, so that their chances of being selected will be better. Bigger.
At this moment, when they saw that Master Danding had indeed chosen Qian Xuefu, the most prominent family member, they were naturally a little disappointed.
Hey~ A good family background is a blessing. Even becoming a disciple is easier than ordinary people.
Feeling the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Qian Xuefu puffed up his chest proudly, feeling secretly proud of himself.
He knew that he would definitely be selected.
"Everyone, be quiet."
Listening to the buzzing discussion around him, Gu Hanyu frowned slightly.
Although she was not very satisfied with Qian Xuefu in her heart, it was the master's will after all, and she could not tolerate other people's irresponsible remarks.
Hearing this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Although Gu Hanyu has not yet reached the realm of heaven and human beings, her status is naturally extraordinary due to her attainments in medical and alchemy skills, as well as being the disciple of Master Alchemy Cauldron.
However, although they stopped talking about it, everyone was still curious.
"I wonder who the second candidate is?" an ancestor asked cautiously.
Gu Hanyu said calmly: "The next candidate is Rogue Cultivator Si Xinghai."
"Si Xinghai?"
All the big guys are stuck.
Although Master Alchemy had previously let out the news that he admired Rogue Cultivator Si Xinghai, which made everyone somewhat mentally prepared, the actual announcement still made people secretly unhappy.
Master Danding accepts three disciples, which is already the limit. Accepting a casual cultivator means that there will be one less place for the disciples of the aristocratic family.
But Master Alchemy Cauldron is after all a monk in the Zifu Realm, and he is also an extremely rare alchemy master in the Zifu Realm. How can such a person be coerced? Therefore, no matter how unhappy I feel, I can only swallow it back.
Gu Hanyu ignored the twists and turns in their hearts. After announcing the second candidate, she looked at Si Xinghai with soft eyes: "Junior brother Si, congratulations."
Si Xinghai quickly put away his indifferent attitude and bowed down to salute honestly: "Thank you, senior sister, for your support."
Although there was joy in his eyes, he did not get carried away because of being selected. Instead, he was more polite than before.
Seeing this, many of the big guys present nodded secretly.
This guy has a good mind and is very stable.
As a casual cultivator, whether it is cultivation or alchemy, he faces far more difficulties than the children of aristocratic families. Naturally, he can endure a lot more hardships and is more mature than the children of aristocratic families of the same age.

The young alchemists looked at Si Xinghai with complicated eyes, a little envious and unwilling.
Now that the last spot is left, there is a high probability that Master Danding will choose Dongfang Yuxi. They probably have no chance.
Only Dongfang Yuxi still stood with her eyes half-closed and her arms crossed, as calm and relaxed as she stood against the mountains.
"Haha~ Whoever the Master chooses to be his disciple naturally has the Master's plan." Elder Qian Jingde said with a smile, "Fairy Gu, please don't show off any more. The last one will be Dongfang Yuxi or Yuwen Nianjing. ?"
These are the two most likely ones. However, everyone knows that the Yuwen family is not a fifth-grade Zifu family after all, and Master Danding will not necessarily give up Dongfang Yuxi, who has more potential, for it.
As soon as this was said.
Both Yu Wen Jinghong and Dongfang Bohua became slightly nervous. There was any possibility before an official announcement was made.
Gu Hanyu closed her pretty eyes slightly, glanced meaningfully at Wang Shouzhe, who was calmly drinking tea, and said in a calm tone: "The third disciple accepted by Master is Wang Shouye of the Wang family in Changning."
"What?"
The whole place was silent, especially the old man and the young man from the Dongfang family, who were shocked and showed disbelief. Countless eyes fell on Wang Shouye. Wang Shouye was nervous and looking around.
After listening to their discussion, he had already thought that he was out of luck. He felt extremely guilty in his heart, feeling that he had failed in his family's cultivation, but he never thought that good luck would hit his head.
"You kid, you can do it." Qian Xuefu slapped Wang Shouye on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Obviously he is good at alchemy and has some connections in the family, but he pretends to know nothing. The young lady is here."
Wang Shouye smiled innocently and said: "This, I really don't know..."
Near him, a group of young people who had passed the examination stared at him with complicated eyes.
Especially Yuwen Nianjing's eyes were a little faint.
If Wang Shouye did not have a strong backing, she would be the first to not believe it.
After all, her Yuwen family ancestor came forward in person and was given a heavy gift to the Master of Alchemy Cauldron. Her results were almost the same as Wang Shouye's, but she was squeezed out by Wang Shouye. Obviously, this was the result of the Changning Wang family's manipulation behind the scenes.
Wang Shouye looked puzzled. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
Is the fourth brother behind all this?
He looked at Wang Shouzhe from a distance, but saw that the fourth brother was still calm as usual, as if everything had been calculated.
The most unacceptable person on the scene is Dongfangshi,
Dongfang Bohua jumped out and said: "Impossible, this is simply impossible. Our Dongfang Yuxi won the first place in this assessment. Why is this boy from the Wang family selected?"
In extreme anger, his beard spread out, like an enraged old lion.
Gu Hanyu seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and said calmly with half-closed eyes: "Ancestor Bohua, please calm down for a moment. This is the master's wish."
What does Master Danding mean?
Dongfang Bohua's eyes showed fear, but he immediately said excitedly: "I want to see Master Alchemy and ask him for a clear explanation." In his words, there was a hint of questioning Master Alchemy. .
Gu Hanyu's face turned cold and he sternly rebuked: "Ancestor Bohua, please be careful what you say. Master has already made a statement before the assessment, and the results of this assessment are only for reference. The master will decide who to accept as a disciple. With his considerations in mind, he doesn’t allow you to point fingers here."
What she said was very rude, and it was true. The Dongfang family was just a declining seventh-grade family, so what qualifications did they have to question the master?
Old Dongfang Bohua's face turned red, and he hurriedly bent down to explain: "Miss Hanyu may have misunderstood the old man's meaning. The old man was just too shocked and confused."
Master Alchemy has a good temper, but he is a dignified master after all, and not everyone can question him. If he really offends him, Dongfang's future may be extremely difficult.
This is the tragedy of the family's weak strength. No matter where you go, you have to look at people's faces.
The one with an equally ugly face was Dongfang Yuxi, who was determined to win before.
At this time, his face turned red and white, and he suppressed the anger that was about to burst out in his heart: "Logically speaking, we and other juniors naturally dare not speak nonsense about the Master's decision. But I, Dongfang Yuxi, for the sake of this assessment It’s a lot of effort.”
"Since the Master chose Wang Shouye, I must have something unique about him. I would like to ask for advice from him. No matter what the final result is, I am convinced."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene had different expressions. Some were secretly gloating about the misfortune, while others were worried for Mr. Wang.
After all, what Dongfang Yuxi said was reasonable and reasonable, and she was just asking Wang Shouye for advice. If Wang Shouye did not dare to challenge, once the matter was publicized, it would be detrimental to the reputation of Master Danding and the Changning Wang family.
However, Dongfang Yuxi obviously looked at what others were doing and did not target Si Xinghai or Qian Xuefu. She obviously felt that the Changning Wang family was just a seventh-grade family that was easy to bully.
Everyone's eyes are on Wang Shouzhe. He is the head of the Wang family, and it is he who has the final say whether to accept the challenge or not.
Wang Shouzhe glanced at the two Dongfang clan members. This time he used his personal connections to suppress them. But the world is like this. Otherwise, why would he, Wang Shouzhe, develop his family's power and carefully manage his personal relationships at the same time?
In order to manage her connections, Wang also made great efforts.
This is not a stand-alone game, just chop melons and vegetables along the way.
