Chapter 555: Su Family Su Lan

As an alchemist, the understanding of flames is like the understanding of one's own body. Although City Lord Lin's talent in alchemy is not high, he has been on the road of alchemy for decades, so he still has some vision.

The fire energy released from the inconspicuous small medicine furnace not far away instantly attracted his attention. It's not that he has never seen this kind of flame, but he is very familiar with the energy of this kind of flame. It only appears when the medicine cauldron is refining pills or higher-quality medicine pills.

Using such a huge amount of fire energy requires at least medium-grade flame crystals, but the flame crystals are not the key to the problem, but how a small medicine furnace can stimulate a flame comparable to the medicine cauldron. And even if ordinary people can stimulate such a flame, they can't master it.

At this time, the young man named "Shen Feng" had no expression on his face, as if he was doing something insignificant. He didn't feel any surprise about the flame in the medicine furnace in front of him, which means that he already knew the extraordinary nature of this flame, and even this was the flame he wanted to stimulate.

The shocking thing for City Lord Lin had just begun. The huge flame that gushed out seemed to be attracted by something. It just appeared at the furnace mouth and suddenly shrank back. City Lord Lin's pupils even shrank with the flame. Such a huge flame could be retracted at will. He asked himself that even he could not do it.

The higher the quality of the medicine, the better the flame and equipment used. For example, the medicine furnace is needed to refine medicinal powder and low-grade liquid medicine, and the flame only needs to be stimulated by low-grade flame crystal. However, to refine high-quality liquid medicine and pills, a medicine cauldron is needed, and the flame crystal must be replaced with a medium-grade or even higher one.

The flame stimulated by Zuo Feng, just by looking at City Lord Lin, he knew that it needed a medicine cauldron and a medium-grade flame crystal to stimulate it. Moreover, he could only use the fire energy stimulated by the combination of the two according to the power of the flame, but he could not control it at will.

This is like sailing in a turbulent river. You can only stabilize the boat by following the direction of the water flow. But Zuo Feng's move just now was to play with such a huge flame, as if it was a miracle that stirred up the wind and rain, which was hard to accept.

But among the people present, only City Lord Lin noticed this amazing scene, and the others were all bowing their heads to refine the medicine in their hands.

The flame in front of Zuo Feng was quickly retracted into the furnace, as if nothing had happened just now, and according to City Lord Lin's estimation, such a tattered medicine furnace should not be able to withstand such a huge fire energy, but the terrifying flame was indeed suppressed back into the furnace.

Zuo Feng's eyes were half open and half closed at this time, and he rolled up all the medicinal materials on the stone platform with a wave of his hand and threw them into the medicine furnace. Regardless of the exquisiteness of this technique, just throwing the medicinal materials into the medicine house at once made City Lord Lin's eyes widen again. This was not refining medicine, but clearly burning the medicinal materials.

But looking at Zuo Feng's leisurely appearance, he was completely confident. City Lord Lin wanted to go over and look inside the furnace to see what the scene was like, but he knew that this was against the rules. No one could enter the venue to disturb the competition.

If anyone else wanted to enter the venue at this time, he would try his best to stop them.

City Lord Lin's face was gloomy and ugly at this time. Although he had made some arrangements for this competition, he didn't think it would be of any use at first. According to their previous plan, Zuo Feng shouldn't have appeared here at all, but since he arrived within the specified time, he had to act according to the previous plan.

Originally, he was very confident that Zuo Feng would never be able to complete the refining of medicine this time, but now he felt a little panic in his heart, as if things had begun to develop beyond his expectations.

The contestants in the square were all refining medicinal materials seriously, and from time to time there would be some strange muffled sounds. Every time such a sound was heard, someone would withdraw from the competition in frustration, and someone would immediately pour out the burned medicinal materials in his medicine furnace and refine them again.

At this time, a tall and thin middle-aged man walked slowly out of the hall behind City Lord Lin. The middle-aged man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an emerald crown on his head. From his attire, one could tell that he must be of extraordinary status.

Hearing the footsteps, the city lord Lin looked back unconsciously, with a hint of uneasiness flashing in his eyes, but he hurriedly said with a smile: "Why isn't Lord Sulan drinking tea inside? How could such a small competition be so good as your discerning eye? I will report the results of the competition to you later."

From his appearance, it was obvious that the man who had just appeared was very timid, and he was very respectful in his words and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter. I haven't been in charge of competitions in various places for several years. Since I have the king's order this time, I naturally have to take a look in person. This year's competition also involves the major events of the empire, so I have to pay more attention to it. It would be bad if there are any mistakes."

The man called Sulan had a calm expression, and at the end of his words, he casually glanced at the city lord Lin beside him. This glance seemed to contain many meanings, and City Lord Lin felt as if he was being seen through by this glance.

He felt uneasy in his heart, but said, "I know that this competition is very important, and there will be no accidents in this year's competition."

The man named Su Lan nodded and said, "So there were surprises in previous years' competitions?"

His words made City Master Lin shudder unconsciously, but the man named Sulan didn't seem to question him. After speaking, he smiled and turned to look at the square, and did not give any warning to City Master Lin. opportunity to explain.

City Lord Lin also knew that this was the first time he saw this man named Sulan, but he knew how terrifying this man's identity was. Among the three major families of the Xuanwu Empire, members of the Su family represent the highest center of strength in the entire Xuanwu Empire. It can be said that they are the existence that he can only look up to.

Although the empire will send some people to supervise every competition, most of them are people one or two levels higher than themselves who come to take a look. Moreover, most of the people sent here are just a formality. As long as they spend some money that satisfies them, they will no longer interfere with the selection.

But who knew that in this year's competition, an important person from the Su family would come down, and even come to a remote Tushan City like theirs. This can be said to have never happened before.

Moreover, Master Sulan just arrived this morning, and City Lord Lin could not figure out the reason for his visit no matter what method he used. Of course, he would not foolishly use money to bribe this person from the Su family, because the money he could offer would not be taken seriously by this person at all.

While he was feeling anxious, suddenly a figure in the square below slowly walked toward the steps. City Lord Lin was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look down. When he saw that the person walking over was Zuo Fengzhi, the expression on his face couldn't help but change slightly. Due to Sulan's presence, he did not dare to have other emotions, but whispered: " If you withdraw, please leave the arena voluntarily.”

Zuo Feng, however, continued to walk forward calmly, but his eyes were full of curiosity on the middle-aged man next to City Lord Lin whom he had met for the first time. Zuo Feng could tell from a distance that this middle-aged man was of high status, and City Lord Lin was like a docile little white rabbit in front of him.

But what surprised Zuo Feng even more was that this middle-aged man looked very ordinary on the surface, but he gave Zuo Feng a vague feeling of danger. That feeling was very weak, but Zuo Feng knew that this person must have a way to hide his own cultivation. If the skill was not very special, it was because he was wearing some kind of treasure.

While he was thinking to himself, he heard City Lord Lin talking to him. Although he and City Lord Lin were now at loggerheads, he still smiled and replied: "I have completed the questions for this competition. I want to As the first person to finish, he should be qualified to advance.”

"Um?"

City Lord Lin made a surprised and confused sound, and at the same time, many of the contestants in the square subconsciously raised their heads and glanced here. However, these people were all refining medicinal powders in their hands, so they did not dare to be too distracted. Although I was very curious as to why this young man was able to complete the refining so quickly, he could only try to keep his mind on the medicine furnace in front of him.

City Lord Lin didn't change much on the surface, but there was a glimmer of coldness in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Bring me the medicine powder you refined. I hope you won't be stupid." to fool me with lies."

There was no emotion or anger on the face of the middle-aged man in fine clothes. He just glanced at City Master Lin casually, and then used his strength to move Zuo Feng in front of him. Zuo Feng calmly raised his head and held his chest out, looking at each other for a moment with the middle-aged man.

Although the middle-aged man in front of him gave Zuo Feng a very dangerous feeling, Zuo Feng saw a soft smile in his eyes, as if he had some appreciation for himself. Zuo Feng couldn't figure out what was going on, but he still walked up the steps and handed over the jade bottle in his hand.

City Lord Lin gently took the jade bottle. The warm breath of the jade bottle itself when he took it showed that the medicine powder in his hand had indeed been successfully refined.

City Lord Lin turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, and found that he was not looking at him. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Is this medicine powder of yours prepared before? I just used the medicine furnace to make it slightly." Bring it up after it's been softened, don't you think you can hide it from me?"

City Lord Lin opened the bottle and took a look, then glared at Zuo Feng and shouted coldly. After saying that, he raised the jade bottle and smashed the medicine powder directly on the steps in the next moment.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man next to City Lord Lin suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
