Chapter 694: The Grand Meeting Begins, First Trial: Identifying Elixirs!

As Jiang Yan's words faded.

Only then did the young girl come back to her senses.

Immediately after, she could not help but feel a wave of embarrassment over her earlier thoughts.

Her face grew hot, flushing red at a speed visible to the naked eye!

She hurriedly waved her hand: "I had nothing to do standing here anyway, using a recording stone to capture all this was just something I did on a whim, there's no need for any payment......"

"From what you're saying, you're here to take part in this Alchemy Grand Meeting?"

The young girl felt a little surprised.

Looking at the other party, clearly so young and not much older than herself, yet already able to participate in the Alchemy Grand Meeting.

One had to know that to successfully register for the meeting, one needed at least the realm of a mid-grade one-pattern alchemist.

Jiang Yan cupped his hands and said: "Many thanks, Daoist friend, this time I have indeed come for this Alchemy Grand Meeting......."

Though he was offering thanks, the spirit stone pouch clutched tight in his hand did not come back; instead, he forced it into the other party's hands.

Deeply influenced by the customs of his clan, he would not let the other party help him for nothing.

After all, one matter belongs to one matter.

He was asking the other party to use the recording stone to capture the scenes of him participating in the Alchemy Grand Meeting, so that Brother Chen could have a look.

That was far more precious than spirit stones!

Seeing this, the young girl gave a wry smile, unable to win against him, and could only be forced to accept the spirit stones.

She pocketed the spirit stones, looked at Jiang Yan, and said kindly: "This time I've come with my Master to broaden my horizons; he has also entered this Alchemy Grand Meeting."

"You seem like a decent sort. Once you're done with this Alchemy Grand Competition, I could introduce you and have my Master give you some pointers."

"Hey hey, what's that look for? Let me tell you, don't look down on me just because I seem weak! My Master is far more capable than me! He, sir, is a high-grade one-pattern alchemist. Back in our area, plenty of people beg at his door, and Master can't even be bothered to give them a single word of guidance......."

The young girl held the recording stone, hands on her hips, and said solemnly.

In her understanding, the youth before her was barely a few years older than herself.

If his alchemy realm could reach that of a mid-grade two-pattern alchemist, that would already be the limit of her imagination.

And such aptitude could already be considered a once-in-ten-thousand genius.

Participating in the Alchemy Grand Meeting was probably just like most people, to gain some experience and see the world.

At this moment, Jiang Yan's expression grew increasingly strange.

Instead of seeking guidance from his own Master, go find an alchemist two patterns lower than himself to teach him?

Jiang Yan instinctively wanted to refuse, but remembering that this was after all the other party's good intention, he could not bring himself to refuse outright.

So he merely gave a light hum, lowered his head, and patiently waited for the meeting to begin.

At this, the young girl showed a look of satisfaction, nodded, and said no more.

Time slipped away bit by bit.

Not long after.

Accompanied by a tremendous muffled boom, the entire venue instantly erupted into a frenzy!

Jiang Yan lifted his head, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

He understood that the Alchemy Grand Meeting had finally begun!

Thinking of this, he looked once more at the young girl beside him: "The footage on this recording stone is extremely important to me; many thanks for your trouble, Daoist friend."

Seeing Jiang Yan's utterly serious expression, the young girl waved her hand: "Got it, got it, hurry up and go!"

Jiang Yan gave a light chuckle, no longer hesitated, turned around on the spot, and headed straight for the competition plaza ahead.

As Jiang Yan left, the young girl raised the recording stone and aimed it at where he had been.

She was in no rush to go see her Master first.

Anyway, given her Master's attainments in the Dao of Alchemy, he was bound to make it to the end; she had no need to worry.

On the contrary, this person who had made her use the recording stone would probably be eliminated in the very first round, wouldn't he?
