160 Meeting a friend
Chapter 160
Feng Ming himself did not plan to use it immediately, but to save it for when he breaks through and advances to a higher level. The time is set after the league competition is over. Now it is urgent to watch the competition.
After the pharmacist competition is over, it is the weapon refiner competition. Feng Ming does not think that he does not know how to refine weapons and does not need to watch it. He still came to the scene early. He also wants to cheer for the disciples of Sihong Academy who are competing.
When Feng Ming appears again, he will not only be the little disciple of Master Yu Xiao who will be noticed.
After returning from the competition yesterday, many visiting cards were sent to the guest house, specifically to Feng Ming, and some wanted to give gifts, but Feng Ming refused them after knowing it.
Why look for him now? The fifth senior brother has already popularized it for him. He wants to pull him into a faction and invest in him as a future fifth-grade pharmacist.
And he has his master, a fifth-grade pharmacist, behind him. The value of pulling him is even greater. Once successful, he will have two fifth-grade pharmacists.
How could Feng Ming not know this truth? As the old saying goes, it is easy to add flowers to a brocade, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. If Feng Ming did not have the current achievements, he would be stepped on by others when he came to the imperial city
. Isn't that what Ningyuanbo Mansion did? If he and Bai Qiaomo were not capable, and people like the young marquis came forward to help, and if they had not had the support of their master and Sihong Academy, they would have died without a burial place before they even set foot in the imperial city.
Even on the stands, there was no peace. From time to time, people came to talk to Feng Ming and make friends with this future fifth-grade alchemist in advance.
Almost everyone believed that as long as nothing unexpected happened, Feng Ming's promotion to fifth-grade alchemist was a sure thing.
However, Yu Xiao was sitting next to the little apprentice. With this master sitting in the seat, Feng Ming was finally able to be more quiet. Only people of the same generation as Yu Xiao came to visit.
"Little... cough, Brother Feng Ming."
Feng Ming's sharp ears distinguished a familiar voice from the crowd, and he quickly turned his head to look over, and unexpectedly saw a familiar person waving at him outside the crowd.
"Cheng Miao! Brother Bai, look, Cheng Miao is here, and his grandfather is here too."
Feng Ming had not expected to see Cheng Miao, and quickly asked someone to bring Cheng Miao and his grandson to their stand.
When the grandfather and grandson were brought over, Cheng Miao ran to Feng Ming happily and said to him happily: "I saw yesterday's competition, it was so exciting, Feng Ming, you are so awesome."
Feng Ming whispered to Grandpa Shi: "Has my father contacted you?"
Shi Yan wanted to put on a serious face, but he couldn't: "Yes, he contacted you. Miao Miao knew you were here, so he asked me to bring him here."
Feng Ming immediately praised: "My father is very efficient. Grandpa, I will take you and Cheng Miao to meet my master and brothers."
Shi Yan's mouth was immediately grinning with joy. This little fox is really smart.
There was also a weapon refining competition on the stage. The competition process was similar to that of the pharmacist, and it was also an elimination system.
On the stand, Feng Ming brought Shi Yan and Cheng Miao to his master and told him their identities. They were the captain of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Team and his grandson whom he met when he and Bai Qiaomo were training outside. Feng
Ming also mentioned the experience in the Nether Valley to his master. After all, the inheritance of the alchemy technique and other books he gave to his master must have a source. He also told his master about the magical properties of the Black Crystal Turtle. Yu Xiao also studied it, but he didn't understand the bloodline of the Black Crystal Turtle.
As soon as their identities were mentioned, Yu Xiao knew where his apprentice met them.
Yu Xiao was very friendly to his disciple's friends: "It turns out you are Captain Shi Yan, I've heard of your great name for a long time. I'm glad that Captain Lao Shi is taking care of me
while I'm away." He looked at Cheng Miao's situation and took out a few bottles of pills. "This is a meeting gift from me, your master, to my disciple's friends."
Shi Yan was surprised. These were pills personally sent by a fifth-grade pharmacist. Even this old man was a little flattered.
He immediately signaled his grandson to accept the offer, and said, "Master Yu, you are too polite. It is my grandson's luck to know a genius alchemist like Feng Ming."
Yu Xiao said in a good-tempered manner, "No, no, they just got along with each other."
Shi Yan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Master, you are right. It was the children who got along with each other. Master, you don't know that it was Feng Ming who saved my grandson's life."
Feng Ming did not tell his master about this in detail, because in his opinion it was not a big deal.
However, Shi Yan praised Feng Ming in front of Yu Xiao, describing how dangerous it was at that time, and how Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo stood up to the injustice, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were about to blush after hearing this. Are they really that great?
But Yu Xiao likes to hear it. Shi Yan can say that he had figured out what kind of personality Yu Xiao had yesterday, so he was right to praise his apprentice.
Not long after, a captain of a mercenary team, a burly and strong man, was chatting very enthusiastically with a gentle master of refining medicine on the stands.
Chen Tianlang covered his face on the side. Where did the junior apprentice find such a big man? He figured out their master's ways so quickly. If it wasn't for the junior apprentice bringing him here, he would have suspected that this person had ulterior motives.
Well, he could see that this mercenary captain was a decent person. He had heard of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps. The mercenary corps had a good style.
Feng Ming ignored his master and Mr. Shi and pulled Cheng Miao aside to chat.
Cheng Miao came all the way to watch him compete. He was really happy. He told Cheng Miao about his and Bai Qiaomo's experiences on the way to Chiri City, and Cheng Miao was very interested.
The others who witnessed the whole process were also dumbfounded. Was it so easy to get in front of Yu Xiao? And who was that strong man?
In the area of Pingwang City, the Golden Eagle Mercenaries were known to almost everyone, but in the Imperial City, how many dignitaries had heard of the name of the Golden Eagle Mercenaries?
So in their eyes, Shi Yan was a stranger, and they were jealous of him and Yu Xiao chatting and laughing.
Especially since Jiang Qian came to join in the fun and chatted with them, he also knew about Shi Yan and the Golden Eagle Mercenaries.
The Golden Eagle Mercenaries had helped him search for Geng Jiulang before, and although there was no result, he remembered it, and he actually ran into them in the Imperial City this time.
Kong Zhao didn't come today. Feng Ming won the championship of the medicine refining competition. He knew that he couldn't even stop Bai Qiaomo, because the two of them had the same interests and would definitely advance and retreat together.
But he didn't come, so he still paid attention to the news here. He knew that Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were acquainted with the captain of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Team and had a good relationship. If it was just an ordinary relationship, would Feng Ming introduce this captain to his master?
It's impossible.
It was just a small matter. If it were someone else, they might have ignored it. But Kong Zhao was different. He had investigated many cases, and he personally handled the Wu family's case.
He noticed the problem at the first time. When did Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo know each other?
He remembered where Wu Yingyan of the Wu family had an accident and his dantian was destroyed. Wasn't it the Nether Valley? And the station of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps happened to be not far from the Nether Valley.
So, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo knew Shi Yan's grandfather and grandson in that area? It would be fine if they only knew Shi Yan, but Feng Ming was obviously very familiar with Shi Yan's grandson Cheng Miao.
Shi Yan often went out, but this was the first time his grandson left that area.
So Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo went there
after all. Kong Zhao smiled bitterly. So these two people must have intervened in Wu Yingyan's dismissal. No, it should be said that it was the result of their revenge.
But how did they do it? Everything that happened in the Nether Valley could not be a trap set by them in advance. The dangerous environment of the Nether Valley has existed for a long time, and the mansion that appeared during that period could not have been a bait set in advance.
Using such a mansion that might belong to a powerful person in the Kaihun realm to plot revenge on Wu Yingyan is a loss no matter how you look at it.
So Kong Zhao was puzzled. How did these two people do it? Both of them were foxes that had become spirits, and outsiders had too little knowledge of them.
The figures of the two middle-aged men that Kong Zhao had seen in Guanglin City flashed before his eyes again, and they were increasingly resembling Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo.
They were present from the beginning to the end, and witnessed the destruction of the entire Wu family.
Even he had to admire such a character.
***
From that day on, Cheng Miao came to the stands of Sihong Academy every day to watch the game with Feng Ming.
Most of the time, Shi Yan would send Cheng Miao here and leave, and he did not always come to Yu Xiao.
It must be said that Yu Xiao also had a good impression of this seemingly rough mercenary captain, who was quite sensible in doing things.
Shi Yan is not stupid. What he wants is to leave a name in front of Master Yu Xiao. The opportunity to ask for the elixir should be used at the most critical time. Only in this way can the benefits be maximized, and it is worthwhile for Feng Ming, the little fox, to give him such a good opportunity. He must not waste it.
Because of his appearance that day, Shi Yan got to know a lot of people. They were all people who came to him to ask about his relationship with Feng Ming.
There is nothing to hide about this. Feng Ming got to know his grandson and is his grandson's friend. He, as a grandfather, is just riding on his grandson's fame.
Even if only a small part of them have a good impression of Shi Yan, it will be a lot of good for Shi Yan. With this opportunity, he can gradually expand his personal network and develop the business of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps to the Imperial City.
Some people think that Feng Ming is doing a favor to others. He looks smart, but he is actually too naive and ignorant. He doesn't know that he is being used.
Feng Ming, who was "used" and "knowing nothing", finally waited for the formation master competition after watching the weapon master competition and the talisman master competition.
This competition attracted more spectators than the previous two, because the formation often gives cultivators a very profound and mysterious feeling, that is, the formation masters are very tall and noble in the impression of cultivators.
If you are not a smart person, don't study the formation, otherwise you will fall into the pit and can't climb out.
Feng Ming was watching with Bai Qiaomo, and his identity as a pharmacist was openly revealed to the public.
Bai Qiao Mozhen's identity as a magician is hidden behind people, and he has no chance to communicate and learn from others. This competition is a good opportunity for him to observe.
