The 47th Pharmaceutical Congress
The next morning was clear.
The square of the Azure Flame Academy was already packed with people, countless onlookers gathered to watch, it seemed that this time's Medicine Assembly was indeed astonishing. Almost all the famous figures from the entire Azure Flame Island had arrived, and even the renowned instructors from the Azure Flame Academy were all present.
Xia Ming was still with Tang Ge, joining in the excitement. Tang Ge stared at an old man on stage, shocked, and said: "Even Yao Wang has come, Xu Si's face is really big enough!"
Xia Ming followed Tang Ge's line of sight and saw an old man with white hair and a white beard standing on the stage, but he was full of energy and smiling at the people below.
"Medicine King?" Xia Ming was somewhat perplexed.
"Brother, you actually don't know Medicine King?" Tang Ge joked: "If I don't even recognize the famous Medicine King, how can I be expected to recognize you?"
"Medicine King is a legendary figure throughout the continent, and he's indeed worthy of being called a master of medicine. He's an absolute authority in the field of alchemy!" Tang Ge explained.
"Even Lian Yao Wang was invited by Xiūs, so does that mean even Lian Yao Wang can't solve the problem of Xiūs' son's magical deficiency? Otherwise, there would be no need to hold a Medicine Assembly." Xiaoming immediately sensed the key to the problem.
It seems that this time's Medicine Assembly isn't so simple after all. Even the Medicine King can't solve the problem, no wonder Xiu Si is willing to exchange it for a mountain of mines.
"Haha, I have faith in you, brother, go for it!" Tang Ge chuckled to himself, he indeed had great faith in Xia Ming, whether it was from their first meeting or the magical painting later on, he had already seen too many astonishing things from this guy, who was simply a monster...
The crowd suddenly burst into another exclamation, and Xiaoming looked over to see an elderly man who was also spirited and refined. However, this person had a strong scholarly aura about him, with a calm demeanor and steady breathing, clearly not an ordinary person.
"This is the Dean of our college, let's bow down." Xia Ming took a glance at the elder and felt that he seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Suddenly, he thought that he had indeed seen this old man's statue and portrait in the college!
Tang Ge nodded: "That's right, it's really Dean Luo, I thought it was just a rumor and couldn't be true, but Dean Luo actually came!"
Undoubtedly, this old man is a master-level figure in the field of magic, and the rightful helmsman of the Azure Flame Academy - Rog!
The students were apparently both in awe and curious about the principal, and they all greeted Rog with a flurry of questions. Rog didn't put on any airs at all, responding with a smile, if it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a long black robe and holding a staff that showed off his identity as a magician, Xiaoming would have suspected that this was just an ordinary old man.
"Our principal's temperament is really a bit like Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings!" Xiaoming chuckled to himself.
"By the way, what about those two old rascals and dirty old men?" Tong Ge was referring to Suo Luo and Lan Ning. Suo Luo had even promised to help Xia Ming get a spot at this pharmaceutical conference!
Xia Ming's face looked a bit strange because he saw Soros and Lan Ning walking over with their shoulders together, smiling.
Soros burst out laughing and handed a small exquisite signboard to Xiaoming.
Soros said, "Little brother, this ID card is not easy to get. There are too many people who want to attend this damn Pharmaceutical Conference. I had to use a lot of effort to get it!"
Xia Ming rubbed his nose: "This can't be something you stole from someone else, right?" Thinking of Soros' 'profession', this was indeed very possible.
Soros sneered and then said with a straight face: "What do you know, kid? That's high art! Do you understand art?"
It seems that Xiaoming was right after all. This Suo Luo still said something about guaranteeing it on his body, but in the end, he still relied on his 'refined art'!
Tang Ge hummed a sound beside him, apparently the warrior was still unhappy about being 'bought' that day, and muttered a few sentences of stealing chickens and dogs before slightly venting.
Xia Ming didn't bother with the two old men, picked up the exquisite small sign and asked Soros: "Is that all, just holding this sign is enough?"
Soros nodded and lowered his voice: "Are you sure? I heard that this pharmaceutical conference is a gathering of strong experts!"
"I'll give it a try." Xia Ming smiled, but his smile was filled with confidence.
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from all over the Blazing Island!"
A figure in a black robe, with a narrow and long scar on his face, walked out. He smiled at the crowd and said: "Everyone has come to attend this medicine conference hosted by me, it's all giving me face, I, Xiū Sītè, am grateful. However, I'm afraid I don't understand the profound study of medicine, I might disappoint everyone, even make them anxious. So, I've specially invited two leading figures in the field of medicine and magic - Medicine King and Luo Ge..."
Shu's solemn introduction of Luo Ge and Yao Wang was as tedious and lengthy as the leadership meetings Xia Ming had attended on Earth, and it dragged on before finally getting underway.
The rules of this pharmaceutical conference are extremely complex and strict, and many people who want to take advantage of the situation have been blocked outside. Fortunately, Xiaoming had the identity card given by Soros, otherwise he would have received the same treatment.
With a proud stride, Xia Ming walked into the center of the square and found that there were actually fifty or sixty people lined up. He couldn't help but feel that this Medicine Assembly had indeed attracted quite a number of medicine practitioners. Don't underestimate these fifty or sixty people - given the rarity of medicine practitioners, it's likely that they accounted for more than eighty percent of all the medicine practitioners on Flame Island!
Xiu Si smiled and waved his hand, a host with a fat face came up, Xia Ming looked at him with some familiarity, suddenly remembered that this was not the fat auctioneer of Wanxiang Trading Company?
The chubby boy stood in the middle of the scene with a smile on his face, he smiled slightly and raised his hand to set the atmosphere.
Xia Ming had already witnessed this chubby guy's ability to render the atmosphere, he spoke on stage with a lot of nonsense, using deceitful words that made everyone eager to move.
Then, the fatty saw that the fire was sufficient, and with a wave of his big hand, he stamped his foot and said: "Everyone, I now declare that this medicinal meeting has officially begun. As you wish, the first place in this conference will have the opportunity to obtain a large mine rich in molten rock crystals!"
A mine full of obsidian!
Everyone's eyes lit up, owning a large mine means having endless wealth to squander, who wouldn't want that? Moreover, if they won the first prize in the Medicine Assembly, it would mean their medicine skills surpassed everyone else on Flame Island, this fame and fortune was also a temptation for them.
The fatty saw that everyone was in high spirits, and couldn't help but smile to himself. He slowly walked up to the stage where Yao Wang was sitting and respectfully bowed his hands, saying: "I've heard that in his youth, Yao Wang had ambitions of becoming a top-notch pharmacist on the continent, so he traveled across the three continents, identifying countless medicinal herbs, earning people's respect and admiration."
"Why don't we follow the example of the Medicine King Pavilion and identify a hundred kinds of herbs?"
Fatso said, patting his hands, and a dozen or so maidservants poured in from both ends. Each maid held a tray, on which were arranged over a dozen different kinds of herbs of various colors, adding up to over a hundred varieties!
