Master Bai, who do you think these people are more qualified?"

Not long after Bai Qi sat back in his position, Young Master Pang Xu took the initiative to come over, looked at Bai Qi with a smile on his face and asked.

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Young Master Pang Xu's face was full of smiles at the moment, and Bai Qi couldn't speak coldly to him.

"There are too many people to see, at least you need to go to the ranks of the three products to see who is good and who is bad. Bai raised his hand and patted the railing and said slowly.

Young Master Pang Xu sighed, and then asked, "Master Bai, will you choose a few qualified alchemists this time and accept them as apprentices?"

"What does the young master want to say?" Bai Qi was not interested in his tentative question, and asked him directly, if there is anything to say, just say it directly.

Pang Xu didn't look embarrassed, but said to Bai Qi with a smile still on his face: "Pang Ze of the Xingjucheng Alchemy Guild is my own brother, he is now a fourth-grade alchemist, and he is also the president of the Xingjucheng Alchemy Guild, I wonder if I can let Master Bai accept him as an apprentice?"

"Of course, since the young master has spoken, then I will accept him. Bai Qi didn't think about it or hesitate, and agreed directly.

Pang Xu was stunned, he couldn't believe it, Bai Qi agreed? He thought that he would waste some words, or Bai Qi would refuse directly, but he just didn't think that Bai Qi would agree so quickly.

"Is the young master confused?" Bai Qi couldn't help but purse his lips and smile after his expression was stunned.

"I'm really confused, I thought Master Bai wouldn't agree to me. ”

"I don't want one more enemy, the young master is a smart person, and I am also a smart person, if we can take advantage of this opportunity to at least not become opponents, that would be the best thing. Bai Qi told Pang Xu what he was thinking, and he was not afraid of what Pang Xu would do.

Pang Xu listened to Bai Qi's words, and also felt Bai Qi's sincerity, what he said was the truth.

If he wants to yin anyone, it will definitely not be easy, it will definitely be fatal with one blow, but Bai Qi is also very black-bellied, this is what he felt from the matter of Prince Bing and King Fanjun, and he himself does not want to provoke such an enemy.

So today he released the olive branch, but he didn't expect this olive branch to be taken over by Bai Qi so quickly, but it also saved a lot of trouble.

"Don't thank you, Master Bai has any needs in the future, just tell me. Pang Xu stretched out his hand, stopped in mid-air, and after looking at it, he also stretched out his hand to shake him.

The powerful figures of the two central empires eliminated in advance the misunderstandings and contradictions that may arise later at this moment.

They are all smart people, and it is the best choice to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"Brother Bai, be careful of Taishi Tong Hao, he seems to be loyal but treacherous. Pang Xu lay next to Bai Qi's ear, muttered a low sentence, and then turned around and walked back to his place.

Bai Qi squinted his eyes, and crossed his eyes from Taishi Tong Hao's body without missing a trace, and he thought so in his heart.

But Pang Xu's words, he won't believe them all, he doesn't know who knows his face but doesn't know his heart, no one knows who will stab himself in the back, after several betrayals, Bai Qi no longer trusts anyone, even if it is Bai Xueyuan and Hua Yun, he only trusts 99%.

"At the end of the first round of alchemy conferences, there were 360 people who were promoted, and the second-grade Xiaohaodan required by the regulations was refined. ”

"Next is the second round of the competition, and you need to refine the Sanpin Dahao Dan!" Tong Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, beat the small drum and announced the results of the first round.

There are more than 1,000 people left, and now there are only 360 people left, most of them are second-grade alchemists, and there are more than a dozen first-grade alchemists, and the second-grade pills that have been refined mean that they have become second-grade alchemists here.

The alchemy conference ended on this day, so each of the four rounds of the competition was extremely thrilling.

Bai Qi continued to look at the audience, all the eliminated alchemists showed disappointed and frustrated expressions on their faces, and the promotion was naturally excited, as long as they could advance to the second round, it had already shown that they were talented in alchemy.

"Why didn't you let me participate?"

"I'm here to compete, let me go, let go!"

At this moment, on the first floor of the platform, there was a commotion and angry roars, and Bai Qi followed the line of sight.

A young man dressed in old and tatters was holding a black Dan furnace and wanted to go inside, but the guards of the Criminal Division and the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department below stopped him from letting him in and causing trouble.

The boy's face was full of unwillingness and anger, but he struggled desperately, and had no intention of giving up.

"Isn't this the waste Chen Asan?"

"Yo, it's really, this kid followed Master Ku before, but I didn't expect that in two years, he couldn't even refine a pindan, so Master Ku directly cleaned him out. ”

"This kid came here today to make trouble, don't look at what kind of place this is, it's really fucking bad!"

Some people around recognized this young man, and they couldn't help but have a look of disdain on their faces, and they retreated one after another.

"Beat this little bastard out of here!"

On the fourth high platform, a middle-aged man wearing an alchemist's blue robe, after seeing the dirty young man below, suddenly became angry, and shouted at the guard with a wave of his big hand.

He is Master Ku, a fourth-grade alchemist, and he is also quite famous in the national capital.

The surrounding guards, after hearing Master Ku's shout, also ran towards Chen Asan one after another, holding knives, guns and sticks in their hands, showing no mercy.

"Let go of me, let go, I'm coming, don't touch me. ”

"Master Ku, please, let me compete, I can, I can. Chen Asan looked at Master Ku on the high platform with tears in his eyes, hoping that Master Ku would be accommodating.

However, Master Ku's face was full of contempt and disdain, and he waved his robe and shouted to the guards, "What are you waiting for, don't you call me out?"

After hearing this, several of the guards continued to move.

"Stop me!!" Bai Qi stood on the top of the five-story platform, roared, and as soon as the momentum came out, all the guards below changed their faces greatly, and they didn't dare to make a move.

Bai Qi's face was gloomy, he glared at these guards with an extremely ugly face, and shouted angrily: "You are still not the guards of the Shen Penal Division?

"Get out of here, let you Shangguan find me!"

With a roar from Bai Qi, there were no more guards from the Criminal Division involved, and all of them honestly pushed back, and the soldiers of the Criminal Department did not dare to do anything.

"Master Ku, is it?" Bai Qi knocked on the railing, lowered his head and glanced at the blue-robed man on the four high platforms.

Master Ku looked at Bai Qi, his face changed suddenly, and he was a little scared and afraid in his heart, he was not as powerful as alchemy, he was a five-grade alchemist, and there was no way to compare with his status, he was the commander of the Shen Criminal Division, and he couldn't compare with his strength.

"Hey, I am, do you have any orders?" Master Ku smiled flatteringly, completely different from his attitude towards Chen Asan just now.

"This is the first time, if you dare to order our guards of the Criminal Division, don't blame me for being unkind, the Criminal Division is not your turn!"

"Yes, yes, remember, remember. Master Ku nodded hurriedly, constantly wiping his cold sweat.

Many people around him didn't dare to offend him, because he was an alchemist, but Bai Qi was not afraid, because he was an alchemist and a commander.

"Child, you come up!" Bai Qi hooked his finger at Chen Asan, his face full of smiles.

It was not Bai Qi's kindness that overflowed, but Bai Qi felt an extraordinary aura from the black Dan furnace held by Chen Asan, and this Dan furnace was definitely not an ordinary product.

In addition, Bai Qi saw himself who was bullied and humiliated when he was a child from Chen Asan's body, and at that time, he had no one to talk to, and he was beaten and scolded by those rich second generations at will.

Chen Asan was stunned for a moment, and then ran down the red carpet with a happy face and went straight to the high platform.

The surrounding officials and guards were full of bitterness, and they wanted to stop it, but they didn't dare, so they saw that these red carpets were trampled on by Chen Asan, but who dared not listen to them?

Soon, Chen Asan came to the fifth layer and stood in front of Bai Qi, a little nervous and scared, he knew who Bai Qi was, so he was afraid.

But more than that, it's the excitement.

"Do you really want to compete?" Bai Qi did not dislike Chen Asan's rancid taste, but continued to ask him with a smile.

Chen Asan nodded, his face was full of pleading and hope, and his eyes were clear and straightforward, and he was thorough and bright.

This is a child who has not been polluted by the world, but at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it is precisely when he is about to be in a rebellious period, if he excavates two years later, this child is afraid that he has already gone astray.

"But the first round is over, and you don't have a chance to compete. Bai Qi has to tell the truth, since the first round is over, Chen Asan can't participate, and he can't change it.

After Chen Asan heard such a result, he immediately showed a look of loss and even despair, he knew that this was the case, and he was overjoyed.

"But if you're willing to be my apprentice, I'll let you be my Dantong in the fourth round, would you like to?"

"Really?" Chen Asan's desperate heart sprouted the sprout of hope again, and it became stronger and stronger.

"Of course, don't you see that there is no Dantong beside me?" Bai Qi looked around, he was the only one, originally planned to let Uncle Hui help him, but Uncle Hui didn't understand anything.

This Chen Asan is so obsessed with alchemy, he must have put in a lot of hard work, at least he knows the medicine.

"I..." Chen Asan wanted to agree, but he had concerns.

"Boy, Master Bai personally accepted you as an apprentice, but you still don't apprentice to the blessings you have cultivated in eight lifetimes?" Young Master Pang Xu on the side suddenly became angry when he saw that there was such a stupid boy.

His younger brother wants to apprentice, and he wants him to intercede in person, and now Chen Asan picks up a master for nothing, and still picks and chooses? The gap is too big.

"I'm now an apprentice of Master Ku, I can't worship you as a teacher, otherwise I will be unfilial!" Chen Asan looked at Master Ku, then shook his head and said to Bai Qi.

Bai was stunned at first, and then he was more satisfied.

This apprentice, he is going to decide.

"Master Ku, is he your apprentice?" Bai Qi jumped directly on top of the fourth platform with Chen Asan and looked at Master Ku in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, I would have fired him a long time ago, he is not my apprentice. "How could Master Ku not understand what Bai Qi meant?" Immediately, he quickly shook his head and vetoed it.

Bai Qi's smile became even brighter, and he looked at Chen Asan and said, "Boy, you don't plan to apprentice yet?"
