Chapter 241: Infiltrating the Harem
When the alchemist walked up to Cheng Sheng, he picked up the jade bottle he placed on the table, opened it and checked it, and immediately he was speechless and could not shout out.
"Come on, no one will feel embarrassed. Isn't it just a bad product?" The young man in white robe gloated and shouted with a harmless smile on his face.
"Not a defective product."
"Isn't it a defective product? Is it not even a defective product considered garbage?" The young man in white robe was about to laugh. It was so embarrassing to dare to compare his ability with him.
"No, it's the best!" The alchemist was so excited that his body trembled, because this pill was considered the best among the top ones. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that someone could refine such a good-quality pill in such a short time, and was also a boy who was not satisfied with Double Ten. Oh my God, it was so shocking.
Everyone who had taken a big breath and was ready to burst out loud laughter, all of them were blocked in their chests and could not vent, which was much more uncomfortable than doing it. It was so high that it could not vent it.
What's his world?
"How is it possible? It's impossible. It's impossible to refine the top-grade elixir in such a short time." The young man in white robe was reluctant to believe that Cheng Sheng had used it shorter than him, and the quality of the elixir he refined was higher. How could he accept it?
The outsider watched the fun, but the experts looked at the trick. The alchemists knew that it was unlikely that Cheng Sheng would refine the elixirs well. Even if he invited a fourth-grade alchemist, he might not be able to refine it well. Cheng Sheng not only refines it well, but also has excellent quality. How can the alchemists believe it?
The young man in white robe stepped forward, took the jade bottle from the alchemist's hand, pushed him away, and then began to test it himself. His behavior could be called arrogant, and doing so in front of the emperor's old man shows that the power behind him is not simple.
True gold is not afraid of fire, and the result he tested is obvious that the elixirs refined by Cheng Sheng are of the best grade, which is understandable.
The young man in white robe had to accept this reality with a dark face. However, this was just a test. There was still a chance to step on Cheng Sheng, so he was not worried.
The emperor and the queen on the platform were both surprised and felt incredible. Cheng Sheng’s performance just now was too arrogant. It originally made the emperor and the queen very dissatisfied, but the result shocked them. It seemed that this kid had the capital.
The most surprising thing was Nangong Yuling. She never knew that Cheng Sheng could still use magic and was the most noble alchemist. I can't imagine that he even defeated that person, which made her look excited on her ice sculpture-like face, and she seemed quite happy.
After the inspection results were released, the corresponding alchemist with ten good quality pills was screened to advance. The next round will be held in the palace, and people outside will not be able to watch the show.
Cheng Sheng and the young man in white robe obviously entered the top ten, and there was still a chance for them to compete later.
"I hope you will have such good luck next time." When you walked to Cheng Sheng and passed by, the young man in white robe couldn't help but pause for a moment and said with a threat.
"My luck has always been very good." Cheng Sheng seemed indifferent, shrugged his shoulders, ignored him and left directly. The young man in white robe was so angry that he narrowed his eyes, probably wishing he could pull out his skin.
The competition was so exciting that the people who watched the fun sighed that this trip was not in vain and that it was still unsatisfactory. However, after the competition was over, they had to disperse. Those who signed up and failed to enter the top ten were depressed and very annoyed. The most annoying thing was that they were directly brushed without even being on the stage, and five hundred gold coins were lost in vain. However, for alchemists, five hundred gold coins were nothing.
The ten players who advanced, led by an envoy, drove towards the palace together in sedan chairs.
I originally wanted to find an opportunity to meet Nangong Yuling, but I was seen tightly and had no chance at all. I entered the palace and opened the curtains and watched them all the way over. It was not that he had the habit of watching the scenery like a woman, but that he had to figure out the guards of each level, where there were soldiers to guard them, and where to pass through these places smoothly. Otherwise, he would be caught and chopped up like a headless fly in the palace, and would be easily caught and cut down as a spy.
After entering the palace, the convoy where Cheng Sheng was located was separated from the Emperor and Nangong Yuling's convoy. It was not the same direction. At this time, Nangong Yuling also lifted the curtain and stuck her head out of the window. She looked at Cheng Sheng, and then quickly shrank in.
Cheng Sheng was depressed. Is this woman really stupid or fake? He rushed to Wuli Kingdom thousands of miles away. Is it hard not to know that he is here to look for her? What are you still hiding when you know that he is here to look for her?
Under the leadership of the envoy, Cheng Sheng and nine other promoted members rode a carriage convoy to a large yard. The envoy then asked everyone to get out of the sedan chair very politely and said to the group: "You will live here tonight, and there are forty young alchemists, who were selected a few years ago and will only start the real competition tomorrow."
"I'm working on the envoy." The young man in white robe walked forward and replied politely.
Damn, what's the thing?
The others were all indignant. The young man in white robe answered the words with an arrogant expression, making people think he was the leader of the group.
The envoy led a few people into the yard. The yard was very large and was a place for foreign guests in the palace to live in the palace, so it was very particular. The envoy told everyone not to go out for any trouble, and to cause trouble for enough trouble, and asked the waiter to call him if he had any trouble. After all the ten people were settled, he said goodbye and left.
Unexpectedly, they were still in one suite after another. When they thought about it, Cheng Sheng thought it was worth it. How much money did the emperor earn for this marriage? He also asked himself to wait for others to sleep in a large shop. Isn’t it too stingy?
When he was free, Cheng Sheng walked out of the house and went for a walk. As soon as he walked outside the door, he met the young man in white robe. He had a great mood and was completely gone.
"Boy, remember my name is Jian Nantian. Let's see you on the court tomorrow." The young man in white robe actually had his surname Jian. He walked to Cheng Sheng and said with a chuckling.
"Cheng Sheng." Others reported their names, but Cheng Sheng seemed petty and impolite if he didn't report them. However, the Jian surname of the young man in the white robe surprised him. The Jian family in Wuli Kingdom was a huge force and was invincible. Is this kid related to the Jian family?
"I haven't heard of it." Jian Nantian thought for a while. He really had never heard of this name, and he didn't even have fame. Why should he compete with him for the position of prince consort?
"You can only blame you for being too short-sighted." Cheng Sheng shrugged his shoulders and was not angry at all. He walked straight out of the yard, making Jian Nantian tremble with anger.
Cheng Sheng did not take Jian Nantian's words in his heart. Just a clown. Is it necessary to take him seriously? After walking around the yard for a while, he found that there were also young people about the same age as him in the yard. He should be a member of the competition this time.
The yard is very large, and it is no problem to live in dozens of people. When I walked to the entrance of the yard, I looked outside and found that there were guards standing guard everywhere outside. Unexpectedly, the palace of Wuli Kingdom was much more stringent than the palace of the Fighting Empire. Then I thought that the palace was going to hold an alchemy ceremony, and the emperor must have sent additional personnel to guard the yard.
After looking at the situation outside, I saw a team of palace maids dressed in uniform outside. Under the leadership of a eunuch, they walked towards this side with various exquisite bowls and basins. They walked very uniformly, which shows that these palace maids have received professional training.
He quickly fell back, and soon a waiter came to ask him to have a meal. Unexpectedly, he had to eat in this yard. Did the emperor really treat himself and others as prisoners? Cheng Sheng was very depressed, but he also went to the restaurant to have a meal with the waiter.
After dinner, everyone returned to their own dormitories. Some people practiced, some read books, but they did their own things anyway. They went to bed when they were tired and prepared to deal with tomorrow's alchemy ceremony. Cheng Sheng was too idle. When he saw that it was completely dark, he quietly went out and came to the yard.
I hid in secret and checked, and found that there were more guards at night than during the day. I picked up a stone and threw it out of the yard, alarming the guards guarding outside. Someone went around to see the situation. When their attention was attracted, Cheng Sheng ran out of the yard as fast as possible, and hid behind the flowerbed outside like a gust of wind.
After several rounds, Cheng Sheng bypassed the guards who were patrolling back and forth. He originally wanted to find Nangong Yuling's bedroom, but he was not familiar with the terrain in the palace and could only dodge and search around like a headless fly.
The area in the palace is too large, not smaller than that of the Fighting Empire. Cheng Sheng circled around for nearly two hours, and finally touched some tricks, found the direction of the harem, and sneaked over quietly.
He didn't dare to fly to the roof. If the old monster in the palace was discovered, he would definitely die, and he had to do it step by step. After a lot of effort, he finally avoided all the spies and entered the harem. When he got into the harem, it became much quieter and even the patrol guards could not see it.
