What? Lin Xuan is a fourth-tier Alchemy Master!
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with utter shock. But soon, they all began to laugh.
The Master of the Pill Tower said, "Young Master Lin, you’re joking with us again."
"Indeed, Young Master Lin. How could you possibly be a fourth-tier Alchemy Master?" Master Luo shook his head in disbelief.
Master Zheng added, "If you need help from a fourth-tier Alchemy Master, we can assist you."
Lin Xuan was speechless. "Why can’t I be a fourth-tier Alchemy Master?" he retorted. "I’m not only a fourth-tier Alchemy Master, but a top-tier one at that!"
Everyone laughed, none of them believing him. They admitted that Lin Xuan had extraordinary luck, having obtained two Anomalous Fires and broken an iron rule of the Alchemy Realm, but he was simply too young. Even with two Anomalous Fires, it was impossible to beco a fourth-tier Alchemy Master in such a short ti. If Lin Xuan trained for another five years, he might have a chance, but for now, it was absolutely impossible.
Upon hearing this, Master Song rolled his eyes. This kid sure can brag. First, he boasted in front of the emperor that he could withstand an attack from a Celestial King, and now he’s claiming to be a fourth-tier Alchemy Master in front of everyone. His exaggerations are getting more and more outrageous.
Master Song snorted coldly and turned to leave. Out of sight, out of mind.
Lin Xuan shook his head. My power is beyond what these people can possibly imagine.
He didn’t bother to explain further. Instead, he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to send Ye Qingwu a ssage. "Senior Sister, you don’t need to worry. A fourth-tier Alchemy Master has been found. Where is your family located? I’ll co to you right away."
Soon, Ye Qingwu responded, "On Dragon Island."
Dragon Island? Lin Xuan was taken aback. I’ve never heard of this place.
"Oh, it’s actually Dragon Island!" the big black dog exclaid in surprise.
Lin Xuan was surprised. "What, you know of this place?" Great Xia Country was vast, and he was only familiar with so of the most famous locations; he truly didn’t know much about other places.
The big black dog said, "Of course I know. Dragon Island was very famous back in the day.
"There is a lot of Dragon Dao Power there.
"Even the Great Emperor once went to Dragon Island in search of Dragon Dao Treasure."
Such a famous place? Why have I never heard of it? Lin Xuan was stunned. He then asked, "Then why didn’t you ntion it before?"
The big black dog replied, "In my mory, Dragon Island was extrely powerful, with masters everywhere. With your current strength, you would have gained nothing by going there.
"As for what it’s like now, I really don’t know."
"I’ll go ask." Lin Xuan turned to find the Master of the Pill Tower.
"So, do you need my help with alchemy?" the Master of the Pill Tower asked excitedly. "Rest assured, it’s no problem at all."
In my view, Lin Xuan claiming to be a fourth-tier Alchemy Master is just boasting. Eventually, he’ll still need to find a true fourth-tier Alchemy Master to take action. And I’m the best one available. He must have co to ask for my help.
"It’s not about that, it’s sothing else." Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Tower Master, I want to ask about Dragon Island. Is this place very famous?"
Dragon Island? The Master of the Pill Tower was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to ask about this.
After a mont of thought, he said, "Dragon Island was indeed quite famous back then. It produced more than one Dragon Warrior, but it later declined."
"It declined? Why?" Lin Xuan asked, surprised.
"Why did Dragon Island decline? I don’t know," the Tower Master continued. "But now, Dragon Island has beco quite ordinary. The strongest expert there is only a Grandmaster, and a regular one at that. There isn’t even a single top-tier Grandmaster.
"Moreover, the area around Dragon Island has beco very dangerous. You need a specific Dragon Boat to reach it.
"Previously, many people would venture to Dragon Island in search of treasures, but they later gave up as well. The treasures on Dragon Island have either disappeared or been sealed, making them completely unobtainable.
"Nowadays, very few people go there, aside from the occasional Alchemy Master looking for dicinal Materials. The people from Dragon Island seldom co out, either. Except for a select few, most of them spend their entire lives on the island."
So that’s how it is. It actually declined! Lin Xuan frowned. But regardless, I have to make a trip to Dragon Island. After all, Senior Sister Ye and I are on good terms. With her in trouble, I definitely have to help.
With this in mind, Lin Xuan turned and left.
The Master of the Pill Tower called after him, "Young Master Lin, do you still need a fourth-tier Alchemy Master?"
"No need. I am a fourth-tier Alchemy Master. I’ll handle it myself."
The Master of the Pill Tower was left speechless.
「A few days later.」
Lin Xuan arrived at the seaside. There was no more road ahead; he would need to take a boat. He went to the dock to inquire, but when people learned he wanted to go to Dragon Island, they all shook their heads, indicating their ships couldn’t reach it.
An old man said, "Young Master, if you want to go to Dragon Island, you must take a Dragon Boat.
"That Dragon Boat is made of Coiling Dragon Wood, which allows it to withstand the Sea Dragon Whirlpool.
"Other boats won’t make it."
"Sea Dragon Whirlpool? What’s that?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
The elder explained, "In the sea around Dragon Island, mysterious whirlpools often appear out of nowhere. Any ship that gets too close will be swallowed and buried at sea.
"Only Dragon Boats made of Coiling Dragon Wood can pass through the Sea Dragon Whirlpool and reach Dragon Island."
So that’s how it is. Lin Xuan finally understood. He asked again, "Elder, where can I find a Dragon Boat?"
"The Dragon Boat also embarks from this dock, but only one cos each month, since very few people go to Dragon Island.
"Calculating the ti, a Dragon Boat should be docking in three days.
"Young Master can board it then."
"Thank you, Elder." Lin Xuan decided to wait.
「Three days later.」
An ancient ship sailed in from the distance, slowly docking. Standing on the pier, Lin Xuan gazed at it and found its design to be quite unique, truly resembling a swimming dragon. He paid the fare and boarded the Dragon Boat.
A day later, the Dragon Boat set sail for Dragon Island. It was Lin Xuan’s first ti sailing out to sea, and he was incredibly excited by the sight of the boundless ocean.
After another day, Lin Xuan saw an island in the distance. At first, it was small, but it gradually grew larger. Is that Dragon Island? He was thrilled.
As they approached the island, the Dragon Boat began to rock violently. Lin Xuan noticed a huge whirlpool had appeared in the ocean, as if a monstrous beast from the abyss was sucking in the water, trying to swallow everything whole. Though the boat rocked, it passed through the Sea Dragon Whirlpool without incident and finally docked.
Lin Xuan stepped onto Dragon Island. Once ashore, he sent a ssage to Ye Qingwu, "Senior Sister, I’ve reached Dragon Island. I’ll ask for directions and co to the Ye Family to find you."
Soon, Ye Qingwu responded, "Junior Brother Lin, I’m not at my family’s estate right now. I’m at the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. You can co find here."
The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower! I didn’t expect there to be a branch on Dragon Island. It seems the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower truly has a presence in every corner of Great Xia. I still have that Supre VIP card. With this card, I’m a supre-level guest at any Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. I wonder what Senior Sister Ye is planning to buy. I can use my Supre VIP card to help her get a discount.
Thinking this, Lin Xuan set off for the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. The tower was famous, so after asking for directions, he quickly found his way. It was very bustling at the mont. As it turned out, an auction was being held today, and all these people were here to attend.
Lin Xuan entered the auction hall, marveling at the scale of this Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, which was much larger than the one in his hotown. It seems that even though Dragon Island has declined, it’s still far beyond what an ordinary small town can compare to.
After entering, he began looking for Ye Qingwu. He didn’t find her, but he did spot another familiar face: Bai Qianqian.
Isn’t she the Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower in Cloud Sea City? What is she doing here?
Curious, Lin Xuan walked towards Bai Qianqian, intending to greet her. But halfway there, he was stopped.
A guard said coldly, "This is the backstage of the auction. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed."
Another guard added, "If you wish to attend the auction, find a seat out front. Only high-level personnel of the auction can enter here."
"I’m looking for soone." Lin Xuan pointed at Bai Qianqian. "I’m looking for her. She’s my friend."
The guards rolled their eyes. Her friend?
"Please leave, or don’t bla us for being impolite." They didn’t believe a word he said. Bai Qianqian was their Vice Tower Master, a lofty existence. Even the Clan Leader of an average family on Dragon Island wasn’t qualified to be her friend, let alone this kid. He was clearly just boasting.
"What’s going on?" At this mont, another man walked over. He had a pale complexion and a thin stature, and his eyes held a greedy look as he gazed at Bai Qianqian.
"Reporting to the Young Master, this kid wants to find the Vice Tower Master. He says he’s her friend."
The Young Master looked at Lin Xuan and jeered. You think you know Fairy Qian Qian? Are you worthy? A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh!
"Guards," he commanded, "kick him out!"
