“Although Yang Xiaotian’s martial dao talent is monstrous, his Martial Soul is a Level 2 Giant Tortoise Martial Soul; by the end of the year, he definitely won’t break through the seventh rank,” Hu Xing said. “At that time, he can only leave the academy.”
At this moment, Yang Xiaotian had returned to his residence.
However, when he arrived at the entrance of his residence, he encountered Lin Yuan, the Hall Master of the Divine Sword City Pharmacist Hall.
From a distance, Lin Yuan saw Yang Xiaotian and greeted him, “Young Master
Yang.”
Yang Xiaotian stopped, looking at Lin Yuan’s demeanor, it seemed as if he had come specifically to find him.
“Hall Master Lin.” Yang Xiaotian clasped his fists and politely said, “Hall Master Lin, have you come to see me?”
Lin Yuan nodded with a smile: “I went to great lengths to find out Young
Master Yang’s residence and hope for your understanding.”
As the Hall Master of the Pharmacist Hall, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to use the hall’s resources to find out someone’s residence in Divine Sword City.
Yang Xiaotian was curious, not knowing what Lin Yuan sought him for.
“It’s like this,” Lin Yuan took out an invitation from his bosom. “Divine Sea
Country is holding an Alchemist Competition, and I would like to invite Young Master Yang to participate.”
With Divine Sea Country hosting the Alchemist Competition, and Lin Yuan, the Hall Master of the Divine Sword City Pharmacist Hall, personally coming to deliver the invitation to Yang Xiaotian, it was estimated that in the entire Divine Sea Country, only Yang Xiaotian had this honor.
Yang Xiaotian took the invitation: “An Alchemist Competition?” Then he opened it, briefly scanning the contents.
Inside the invitation, there were words personally written by Lin Yuan and at the bottom was his seal. The content was nothing more than stating that Divine Sea Country would hold an Alchemist Competition in three months and cordially invited Yang Xiaotian to attend.
As for the venue, it would be in Divine Sword City.
“Please make sure to attend, Young Master Yang,” Lin Yuan said with clasped hands and a smile.
“I will see when the time comes, if I have time, I will go,” Yang Xiaotian replied.
Three months later would be the summer break, and Yang Xiaotian planned to return to Xingyue City, so he might not have the time.
Lin Yuan gave a wry smile.
For this kind of Alchemist Competition, other pharmacists didn’t even have the opportunity to participate, but Yang Xiaotian, on the other hand, still needed to see if he had the time.
However, Lin Yuan could not insist on Yang Xiaotian’s participation.
Yet when he left, he made sure to emphasize to Yang Xiaotian to make time to participate, mentioning that the rewards for this Alchemist Competition were astonishing.
In addition to the rewards of elixirs, elixir recipes, cauldron furnaces, and spirit stones, the first place winner would also be allowed to train in the medicinal pool for ten days.
“Train in the medicinal pool for ten days.” Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself as he watched Lin Yuan’s departing figure.
He had heard of the medicinal pool.
The Divine Sea Country Pharmacist Hall had a medicinal pool which was said to be a gathering of the essence of heaven and earth. Training in it, the benefits were definitely incomparable even to consuming top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.
After seeing Lin Yuan off, Yang Xiaotian returned to his residence to practice the Cold Underworld Palm.
On the way, he flipped through the Cold Underworld Palm manual; he had already mastered its moves, key points, and variations.
As his figure flickered, he channeled the internal energy according to the Cold Underworld Palm method and struck out with a palm towards the space in front of him.
Suddenly, the cold palm energy swept forward like a tornado.
What’s more, this tornado was black in color.
Cold to the bone.
Even Luo Qing, who was practicing in the adjacent courtyard, felt the chill was astonishing.
Poof!
With Yang Xiaotian’s palm passing by, the ground was covered with a layer of astonishing black ice.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the black ice on the ground with surprise and doubt.
According to the Cold Underworld Palm secret tome, the palm’s cold ice is meant to be white, but why had his turned out to be black ice?
Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but think of his Black Tortoise Martial Soul.
Could it be because of my Black Tortoise Martial Soul?
The Black Tortoise is the divine beast of the north among the four divine beasts and controls the Extreme Ice Force.
Is that why my Cold Underworld Palm encases black ice when I wield it?
However, with the Extreme Ice Force, the might of the Cold Underworld Palm has indeed increased greatly.
After practicing until noon, Yang Xiaotian’s Cold Underworld Palm reached a reach of ten meters, entering the realm of Great Accomplishment.
Just like yesterday, he started making the Four Symbols Spirit Pills at noon.
At this time, the news of the Divine Sea Country’s Alchemist competition had also spread.
Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong were at Chen Zihan’s residence when they heard the news. Cheng Beibei said to Chen Zihan with excitement, “Sister, with the Divine Sea Country hosting the Alchemist competition, you will surely claim first place. ”
This Alchemist competition aimed to nurture the younger generation of the Divine Sea Country’s alchemists, hence the age restriction: only those below twenty-five could participate.
And among the young generation, Chen Zihan’s level of alchemy remained unparalleled.
Previously, Qiu Haiqiu was able to compete with Chen Zihan, but more than a month ago he was killed by a mysterious person in Xingyue City. Now, no one in the younger generation of the Divine Sea Country could match Chen Zihan.
Chen Zihan smiled and said, “Wait until Sister wins the championship of this
Alchemist competition, then we will celebrate together.”
As the two were chatting enthusiastically, Lin Yuan entered.
“Master,” greeted Chen Zihan as she approached.
“Senior Lin,” Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong promptly came forward to pay their respects.
Although Cheng Beibei was the Princess of the Divine Sea Country and was accustomed to being spoiled, she did not dare to act spoiled in front of Lin
Yuan.
“What are you chatting about so happily?” Lin Yuan asked with a smile.
Cheng Beibei replied with a laugh, “We were discussing the upcoming Alchemist competition. With Sister Chen’s level of alchemy, she is bound to win first place this time.”
“Is that so?” Lin Yuan glanced at his disciple Chen Zihan and smiled, “That might not necessarily be the case.”
Chen Zihan, Cheng Beibei, and the others were surprised.
Chen Zihan had assumed her master would also believe she could win first place.
Reconsidering the young alchemists of the Divine Sea Country, Chen Zihan speculated, “Master, do you mean Deng Yichun could win first place?”
Deng Yichun was a direct disciple of one of the four great alchemists of the Divine Sea Country, Wu Qi.
Lin Yuan, however, shook his head, “Not him.”
Not him?
Chen Zihan, puzzled, asked, “Do you mean Huang Tingting, Master?”
Lin Yuan still shook his head.
This deepened Chen Zihan’s confusion.
If not Deng Yichun and not Huang Tingting, who else from the young generation of the Divine Sea Country could win first place in the Alchemist competition?
“This person is also in Divine Sword City,” said Lin Yuan. “But the question is whether this young chap will participate. If he does, he should be able to take first place. ”
“This person is in Divine Sword City!” Chen Zihan, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong exclaimed in shock.
Was there really a hidden alchemy master in Divine Sword City?
“Actually, you should know this kid,” Lin Yuan said to Cheng Beibei with a smile. “He’s from your Divine Sword Academy.”
Cheng Beibei’s mind flashed, and she said, “Do you mean Senior Hu Xing,
Senior Lin?”
But immediately, she thought that wasn’t right. Although Senior Hu Xing had good Martial Soul talent and Martial Dao talent, his alchemy talent fell somewhat short compared to Chen Zihan.
Lin Yuan laughed and shook his head, “Not him,” then added, “You’ll know when the lad participates.”
As for Yang Xiaotian’s matters, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Lin Yuan to reveal them to Cheng Beibei and the others..
