Is Lin Xuan actually going to give the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire to the Master of the Pill Tower? The Emperor was incredibly surprised.
However, upon further thought, it seed quite reasonable. Firstly, Lin Xuan himself could not absorb it; he had to trade it away. And since Lin Xuan was a mber of the Pill Tower, it was only logical that he would exchange it with the Master of the Pill Tower. The only question was what the Master of the Pill Tower would offer in return.
He was very curious. At the sa ti, he was also sowhat worried. Since neither the Pill King nor the Celestial King had obtained the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire, they probably wouldn’t let the matter rest. It was even possible they would hold a grudge against Lin Xuan for this and move against him. Yes, he really ought to go.
With that in mind, the Emperor said, "If Lin Xuan hands the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire over to the Master of the Pill Tower, his own situation will indeed be very dangerous."
"Don’t worry, I will handle this matter personally."
The Grand Elder was taken aback upon hearing this. Give it to the Master of the Pill Tower? That’s not what happened at all.
He shook his head and said, "Emperor, you are mistaken. Lin Xuan will not give the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire to anyone, because he has absorbed it himself."
"What? That’s impossible." The Emperor furrowed his brow. "Grand Elder, what nonsense are you spouting? Anomalous Fires are incompatible. Lin Xuan already has one, so how could he possibly absorb a second?"
"It’s true," the Imperial Clan Grand Elder said. "I’ve received word that Lin Xuan assisted the Master of the Pill Tower in alchemy and simultaneously wielded two Anomalous Fires. One of them was the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. This scene was witnessed by more than a dozen Alchemy Masters; there can be no mistake."
What? The Emperor abruptly stood up, incredibly shocked.
I guessed wrong. Lin Xuan can actually absorb a second Anomalous Fire! Unbelievable! He broke the iron law of the Alchemy Realm! He’s created another legend! This is truly heaven-defying! By mastering two Anomalous Fires, his future achievents will surely surpass the Pill King’s!
"I absolutely will not allow anyone to harm Lin Xuan. Not the Pill King, and not the Celestial King."
The Emperor shot up into the sky, heading personally toward the Pill Tower Headquarters. He was going to protect Lin Xuan.
「Pill Tower Headquarters.」
It was bustling with activity, as many Grandmasters had gathered. They all wished to see the legendary Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. Among them, two figures were exceptionally dazzling: the Celestial King and the Pill King.
The successive arrival of the two Kings alard the Pill Tower. The Master of the Pill Tower was also alerted. He ca out, looked at the two Kings, and cupped his fists. "I wonder what brings the two of you here?"
"Hmph, we are naturally here for Lin Xuan," the Celestial King said, his voice dripping with killing intent. He had been played by Lin Xuan, an enmity he was determined to avenge. He would not let Lin Xuan go. He wanted to seize the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire and then destroy Lin Xuan!
The Pill King also spoke. "I’ve co for the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. Where is Young Master Lin? Have him co out. I want to make a deal with him. As long as he is willing to exchange the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire, he can na any terms."
The Master of the Pill Tower shook his head. "Young Master Lin is currently in secluded cultivation and has no ti to see you! Besides, you will not be obtaining the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. I suggest you both leave."
"What, he doesn’t dare to et ? Does he think he’ll be safe just by hiding?" the Celestial King’s voice was brimming with murderous intent. "Can he hide for the rest of his life?"
The Pill King furrowed his brows. "What is the aning of this? Don’t tell your Pill Tower Headquarters also wants the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire? Are you daring to compete with ?"
The Pill King was furious. He hadn’t expected another competitor to erge.
However, the Master of the Pill Tower just shook his head. "Pill King, you are mistaken. It’s not that I wish to contend with you for the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. The truth is, the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire has already been absorbed by Young Master Lin. No one can obtain it, so you should go back."
"Nonsense!" the Pill King snorted coldly. "Do you take for a fool? How could he possibly absorb a second Anomalous Fire?"
"Cut the crap and bring Lin Xuan out now," the Celestial King also shouted coldly. He didn’t believe that Lin Xuan could absorb a second Anomalous Fire either. In his view, the Master of the Pill Tower was simply lying to protect Lin Xuan.
"It’s true," Master Luo stepped forth at this mont. "Young Master Lin really did absorb a second Anomalous Fire."
"That’s right," Master Zheng also stepped forward. "Young Master Lin has shattered the iron law of the Alchemy Realm."
The other masters also ca out one after another, confirming the matter.
"Nonsense!" the Pill King raged. "Are you all banding together to deceive ? Despicable!"
The Celestial King was even more nacing. "Do you all know the consequences of deceiving ? Don’t think for a second that I won’t dare to kill you just because you’re Alchemy Masters."
No matter what, the Celestial King was determined to seize the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire.
"Celestial King, what they’re saying is true," Master Zhou stepped out with a sigh. "I hadn’t finished speaking in the Sound Transmission Talisman before you rushed over. What I was trying to say was that there was no need for you to co, because Young Master Lin had already absorbed the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. Coming here would be futile."
"You’re deceiving too?" the Celestial King roared. Master Zhou was a good friend of his. Is he deceiving now too?
"I am not deceiving you. I am telling the truth."
"Lao Song, you tell !" On the other side, the Pill King looked toward Master Song. Master Song was Song Xingyun’s grandfather, and Song Xingyun was his own disciple. Master Song’s relationship with him was far from ordinary. He would never lie to .
Master Song’s expression was incredibly grim. He hesitated for a long ti before finally saying through gritted teeth, "That kid really does have control of the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire."
What?
The Pill King was stunned. Could it be true? Were all these people not lying to him? Had Lin Xuan really broken the iron law of the Alchemy Realm? For a mont, he stood there, dumbfounded.
The Celestial King, however, refused to believe it. "Liars, a bunch of liars! You cannot deceive this King. Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will never believe it. Lin Xuan, get out here!" the Celestial King roared, his voice shaking the heavens and the earth. "If you don’t co out, I’ll storm the Pill Tower! I’d like to see just how long you can hide."
As he finished speaking, the power within the Celestial King erupted, shaking the world. The Pill Tower itself began to quake violently.
The Master of the Pill Tower’s expression changed drastically. This is bad. The Alchemy Masters inside were terrified. If the Celestial King barged in, they wouldn’t be able to stop him!
With a flicker of his body, the Celestial King shot toward the Pill Tower.
"Quick! Activate the Array!" the Master of the Pill Tower roared.
With a boom, the Pill Tower radiated a brilliant light as a peerless Array erged, enveloping it completely. Seeing this, the Celestial King snorted coldly and threw a punch. The Array shook violently, its light dimming. Inside, the Alchemy Masters felt their blood churn, and they nearly spat out mouthfuls of it. They were utterly shocked. Too strong! This Celestial King is truly too strong!
They saw the Celestial King standing in the void, his body glowing like a peerless War God.
"Activate the Array with full force!" the Master of the Pill Tower said through gritted teeth. The originally dim Array beca brilliant once more.
The Celestial King’s face darkened at this. With a wave of his hand, the Heaven-piercing Halberd appeared in his grasp. He was preparing to attack with his full might.
On the other side, the Pill King had also co to his senses. He shook his head and said, "I don’t believe it. Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will absolutely not believe that Lin Xuan can master a second Anomalous Fire." With that, he also started walking toward the Pill Tower.
Seeing this, the Master of the Pill Tower’s expression changed dramatically, and the other Alchemy Masters gasped.
Are the two Kings joining forces? The Pill Tower’s Array probably won’t hold.
Inside the Pill Tower, the Alchemy Masters’ faces were pale. The combined power of two Kings would be terrifying to the extre. They were simply no match. A single strike would likely leave them all gravely injured.
Just as they were overco with terror and despair, a young figure erged from the depths of the Pill Tower.
"Lin Xuan!" soone exclaid.
The two Kings instantly locked their gazes on this young figure.
The Celestial King gritted his teeth. "Kid, you finally decided to show yourself!"
The Pill King said, "They all claim you’ve mastered the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. I don’t believe it. I am giving you a chance now. Present the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire for an exchange, and I can let bygones be bygones."
"And what if I have truly mastered it?" Lin Xuan countered.
"Then I’ll leave imdiately and never covet the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire again for the rest of my life," the Pill King declared. "Furthermore, I will apologize to you and admit that I wronged you and falsely accused you before. But if you haven’t mastered it, you must exchange it with ."
The Pill King was very confident. He didn’t believe that anyone could break the iron law of the Alchemy Realm. This Lin Xuan absolutely could not control the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. These people are all just colluding to trick . I won’t fall for it!
