“So what shall we do, Master?”
Master Gan released a murderous aura. “Humph! The Alchemy petition will mence tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes first. If that Ye Zhuixun doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness, I’ll ensure his death!”
“Thank you, Master! Don’t worry! I’ll definitely make you proud at the Alchemy petition.”
“You will. It was I who discovered Gong Sunheng, the demonically-talented alchemist from the Alchemy King’s Mansion, and brought him into the Alchemy King’s Mansion back then. I believe that you’re as good as him.”
“I’ll definitely work hard and live up to Master’s expectations.”
The next day, the Alchemy petition menced.
The City Central in Lingxi Prefecture was already swarmed with people even though it was still early.
“The Alchemy petition is finally mencing! Yan Gongqing from Liuyun Prefecture was the most outstanding alchemist at that petition two years ago. I wonder who it will be this time…”
“If Jade-Masked Blast were taking part in the Alchemy petition, she’d definitely be the most outstanding! It’s a pity that I received news that she did not sign up.”
“Oh! If she’s not taking part, then no one should be parable to Young Master Wei Ziran!”
“Yes… However, Jade-Masked Blast’s disciple, Ye Zhuixun, has defeated a third-grade alchemist in an alchemy battle. His capabilities can’t be underestimated either.”
“Besides, there are also alchemists ing from many well-known prefectures, like the Imperial city and the Fengyang prefecture. It’s really a gathering of the powerhouses. That’s why we’re all looking forward to it!”
The crowd was talking about the participants when a motion broke out amongst the crowd.
“He’s here! Young Master Wei is here.”
“He’s Young Master Wei Ziran, the alchemist wizard from our Lingxi Prefecture!”
“Yes, he’s only 20 years old, yet he’s already a third-grade alchemist. Moreover, the purity level of the pills he refine is as high as 80 percent. He’s a rare wizard seen only once in a thousand years. Some people say that in terms of talent, he’s parable to Gong Sunheng, the demonically-talented alchemist!”
“Really impressive!”
The crowd looked at Wei Ziran in amazement.
Wei Ziran had an arrogant expression and a proud smile.
However…
“Aiya, young lady! Clad in white and a silver mask… Isn’t she Jade-Masked Blast? Jade-Masked Blast is here!”
“Jade-Masked Blast! She’s also here? I reckon that she has e to cheer for her disciple? Her disciple also looks very young and handsome.”
“They look like the dragon and phoenix amongst the mon folk.”
Lou Qianxue and Ye Zhuixun unknowingly captured the crowd’s attention.
They forgot Wei Ziran, the person they were enthusiastically discussing earlier, within a short period…
“…” A tinge of darkness flashed past Wei Ziran’s face. He clenched his fists and coldly looked at Ye Zhuixun. “Bastard, you better not block my path. Otherwise, Master won’t spare you!”
Soon, all the candidates taking part in the Alchemy petition had arrived. The venue became lively. Discussions of Lou Qianxue, Ye Zhuixun, and the rest of the candidates flew everywhere.
Just when the atmosphere was the livest, a clear voice suddenly rang out. “Master Gan, Master Ling, Master Xu, and Master Feng from the Alchemy King’s Mansion have arrived.”
“Wow! People from the Alchemy King’s Mansion!”
“Bright red clothing with a pill cauldron embroidered on the right shoulder. They are indeed people from the Alchemy King’s mansion!”
“So prestigious! I’ve seen people from the Alchemy King’s Mansion in this life; I can die without any regrets!”
Under the respectful gazes of everyone, the four alchemists from the Alchemy King’s Mansion slowly walked toward the raised stage.
When Master Gan sat down, he glanced at Wei Ziran.
Wei Ziran smiled back at him and nodded.
Master Ling’s gaze landed on that area with Lou Qianxue and Ye Zhuixun. He sighed and said in his heart, “Ye Zhuixun, I hope that you can defeat Wei Ziran and take the top spot!”
