Chapter 16 . 1: Luo Yun Chang Advances

Luo Yunchang’s eyes flashed . Though her face revealed abnormal exhaustion, it somehow proved difficult to hide the raging excitement on her face . Her hands quivered, immediately changing, and soon, a few seals formed on the tip of her fingers . It turned to streams of flame that flew into the battle axe . The somewhat maniacal battle-ax suddenly released a suction force from the void and devoured the scattered metal dust .

In an instant, the golden light on the bright red axe dissipated bit by bit, emitting a steady, heavy aura that gave off the feeling of a mountain pressing down on one’s body .

“Gather!”

“Fall!”

Luo Yunchang lightly berated twice . The two rays of light flew from her fingertips onto the battle axe, instantly causing the scorching temperature to disappear without a trace . The body of the battle axe suddenly became smaller and transformed into a mini axe . It landed on Luo Yunchang’s hand .

Luo Yunchang looked at the small axe in her hand carefully and immediately walked towards the crowd happily . Holding the battle axe in her hand, she handed it to the white-bearded old man in the middle and respectfully said, “Master Xu, please take a look . ”

Xu Han’s gaze swept across the battle axe and smiled softly . “There’s no need to look anymore . The Rising Sun Axe has already reached the level of a Superior Grade One Profound Weapon . Yunchang, you’ve passed the examination . ”

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

 

All the other people present began clapping and looked at Luo Yunchang with a face full of smile and praises .

Luo Yunchang was overjoyed . She was so excited that she could not control herself . “Thank you, Master Xu, and to the many other masters . ”

Xu Han shook his head and laughed . “This is all your hard work . It has nothing to do with us . I’m just curious how you managed to bring that Brilliant Gold into the Red Refined Copper . You’ve already failed the previous few times of examinations in this stage . ”

The other masters became quiet and looked at Luo Yunchang in confusion .

That young and tender face whose voice was calm and elegant instantly flashed through her mind .

“Though the Red Refined Copper metal is biased towards fire, the fire from the south is extremely soluble to gold, therefore, many arcane masters like to use Brilliant Golden when they want to level their Red Refined Copper Profound Weapon . However, the Sky Crystal Sand inside is completely different .

 

“Because the Sky Crystal Sand is a water attribute, it can neutralize the fire attribute of the Red Refined Copper, therefore, the more Sky Crystal Sand there is, the worse the power of dissolving the Brilliant Gold .

“It’s actually quite simple . Just treat the Sky Crystal Sand as an impurity and use the quenching essence to get rid of the impurities . ”

“So that’s how it is!” Xu Han came to an enlightenment . “So it’s that simple . Yunchang, for you to be able to discover the secret within, it is enough to see that your intelligence far surpasses the others . Now that Sky Water Nation has another true alchemist, I will send someone to report to the King tomorrow . I presume His Majesty will be extremely happy to learn of this revelation . When the time comes, a banquet will be held to celebrate your name . ”

Luo Yunchanh’s face turned slightly red . She had consumed too much soul power and vitality that it caused her cheeks to drench in cold sweat . It made her look even more alluring . “I’m sorry, Master Xu, but please inform His Majesty that a banquet isn’t necessary . I don’t wish to attract attention . ”

Behind Xu Han, Yan Lei laughed . “This is a joyous occasion . How can we skip out on such a banquet? Yunchang, you are the number one genius of our Sky Water Nation . In just three years, you have caused His Majesty to set up two banquets for you . For hundreds of years, I remember that only Lord Yang Di ever had this honor . ”

In Sky Water Nation, so long as one broke through the Martial Grand Master Realm or Grand Master Alchemy, the King would hold a banquet at the palace and invite all the country’s ministers to celebrate with him . At the same time, it would be easy for him to reward Luo Yunchang with an honorable title .

When Luo Yunchang broke through the Martial Grand Master Realm, she had a banquet arranged in her name .

Hearing Yan Lei’s words, Luo Yunchang hurriedly said: “Master Yan is too serious . Yunchang is weak . If she can be compared with Master Yang Di…”

 

Xu Han stroked his beard and laughed lightly . “You don’t have to be so modest . Although Lord Yang Di is a genius, he was able to benefit a lot from being the disciple of a Martial Emperor Arcane Master, Gu Feiyang . How lucky is he! If you are lucky in the future, you might not lose to Lord Yang Di . If you lose, you lost because you don’t have a good teacher . ”

Seeing that Luo Yunchang still wanted to argue he waved his hands and smiled . “Today, our Arcane Master’s Association needs to celebrate too . This year, there will be two more Warrior Ranked alchemists added . You and Jia Rong are both new stars in our Sky Water Nation’s branch!”

Another alchemist, Su Yuan Qiao, suddenly snorted coldly . “Master, if you were to say that Yunchang is a new rising star, then I would agree . As for Jia Rong, if my guess is not wrong, he is already deeply poisoned!”



Everyone was shocked and confused .

Xu Han’s face also changed . “Su Yuan Qiao, what do you mean by this?”

Luo Yun Chang’s eyes also flashed with a strange light . “Master Xu, I shall take my leave first . ”

She was very smart . Upon seeing Su Yuan Qiao’s expression, she knew that some profound secrets had been involved and so she took the initiative to avoid him .

 


Xu Han shook his head . “You’ve now passed the assessment and are now an official Warrior Alchemist, which means that you are one of the members of our association, of our guild . You have the right to know everything going on in the association . ”

Su Yuan Qiao’s gaze swept across everyone in the room as he coldly chuckled . “I’ve already found out that Jia Rong faked his last assessment and used a prohibited item––Yin Wind Stone!”

Chapter 16 . 2: Luo Yun Chang Advances

Everyone’s expression changed greatly as they looked at one another, shock written in their faces . They were all Arcane Masters so they naturally knew what a Yin Wind Stone was .

Yan Lei leaned forward and seriously said, “Su Yuan Qiao, you can’t speak carelessly! I know that you have always disliked Jia Rong . When he was still an apprentice, you had to make things difficult for him many times!”

Su Yuan Qiao smiled coldly . “I’m casually accusing him? At this moment, I’m afraid that the poison had already seeped deep into his bone marrow! I sent people to investigate the materials he bought after his promotion . They are antidotes! He was trying to buy the Poison Refinement Pellet at a high price . Everyone should know what a Poison Refinement Pellet is, right? According to legends, there is a fourth-level medicine that could cure any ailments . But it is hard to come by––even if it’s worth ten thousand gold! After returning home, albeit hurriedly, he went in closed door cultivation . He must be desperate to use poison against poison . Even the Poison Refinement Pellet could not help him . I estimate that he is now completely useless!”

Xu Han’s face gradually grew unsightly .

Su Yuan Qiao took out a list and passed it to everyone . “The list records his action after advancing as a true alchemist refiner . Everyone take a look . ”

Everyone glanced a look at the list, their eyes filled with worry .



In the end, the list of ingredients was passed into Luo Yun Chang’s hands . Her heart trembled slightly . Even Jia Rong’s three meals per day were recorded clearly . It seemed like this Su Yuan Qiao had already thought of something . Since Jia Rong’s name jumped out at this time, Su Yuan Qiao must have had full confidence in himself . Jia Rong would most likely not be able to escape this calamity!

“If you all still have any doubts, you can call Jia Rong over to take a look . He has been inside the tower since he came back five days ago . ” When Su Yuan Qiao saw that a large majority of the people believed him, he snorted triumphantly .

 

“Hmph! You knew he wasn’t in closed door cultivation!” Anger flashed across Yan Lei’s eyes . He and Su Yuan Qiao had never been on the right track .

Su Yuan Qiao sneered . “Ever since Jia Rong was promoted as an alchemist master refiner, he gave up on cultivating the martial way and wholeheartedly focused on the path of alchemy . The cultivation of an alchemist refiner mainly nourishes their soul power . Only through continuous refinement can one’s soul power be strengthened . He’s a first-ranked Warrior Alchemist . Five days should be enough for him to refine anything . Yan Lei, you are so protective of Jian Rong . Could it be that you were also part of the process in helping him use the Yin Wind Stone?”

Yan Lei flew into a fit of rage . “Nonsense!”

Xu Han lowered his voice . “Stop arguing! Jiang Cheng, go bring Jia Rong over! No matter what he’s doing, it doesn’t matter! Fetch him right this instant!”

Xu Han was the president of Sky Water Nation’s Arcane Master’s Associaton and also one of the only two third-ranked Grand Master Alchemist in Sky Water Nation . His status was as high as the King’s . The other third-ranked Arcane Master was the Chief Arcane Master of the palace, Zhang Qingfan . The strength of the two was about the same!

Not only was an Arcane Master a symbol of strength, it was also a symbol of nobility; the pride of all Arcane Masters! As the president of the Arcane Master’s Association, he would never allow something like a fraud to happen .

 

Everyone’s expression turned serious . They had realized that a small storm was coming!

Very quickly, Jia Rong followed behind Jiang Cheng and arrived at the examination grounds on the fourth floor . When his gaze swept across Su Yuan Qiao, the corners of his mouth curled up in an undetectable smile . In the end, his gaze landed on Luo Yun Chang . “I heard from Jiang Cheng that Master Yun Chang has also advanced to become a first-ranked Warrior Alchemist . She is truly a genius . Among the five commanders of the national Divine Guard, Master Yun Chang is considered to be the strongest in terms of overall strength! ”

Luo Yun Chang nodded her head . “Master Jia is flattering me . The other four commanders are much stronger than Yun Chang . I was just lucky . ”

Jia Rong smiled . He did not deny it and loudly said, “President Xu, I am currently in closed door cultivation to refine a pill . May I know what business you have called me here in such a hurry? Could it be to celebrate Yun Chang’s breakthrough?”



A hint of doubt flashed through Su Yuan Qiao’s eyes . According to his estimation, Jia Rong’s complexion wasn’t so good . He coldly snorted and said, “Hmph! Jia Rong, you really know how to pretend . You’re still pretending to be fine even now!”

Xu Han took out the list and threw it to Jia Rong . He stared at Jia Rong with bright eyes and said word by word: “Su Yuan Qiao suspects that you used a Yin Wind Stone during the last assessment . This is the investigation he has been conducting on you . I need you to give everyone an explanation!”

Jia Rong snorted coldly . He took the list and looked at it, immediately becoming angry .

【 This old bastard actually sent people to follow me!】

 

At the same time, his heart broke out in a cold sweat .

【Luckily, Young Master Yun cured the poison in my body and even taught me the art of soul refinement, otherwise, my reputation would have been ruined and I would be doomed to never return!】

At this moment, his gratitude towards Yun Xiao gushed out like a spring .

“Su Yuan Qiao, you old fool! It should be you trying to give me an explanation!” Jia Rong heavily threw the list onto the ground and angrily said, “President, if I have used a Yin Wind Stones before, you can easily detect it, but if you have not, I need Old Man Su to give me an explanation!”

Xu Han nodded his head . “I will . Reach down and cover your body with your hands . At the same time, completely retract your spiritual sense . We will thoroughly examine your body’s condition . ”

Su Yuan Qiao grinned fiendishly . “An explanation? When we find out what your problem is, let’s see how you die then!”

Jia Rong suddenly smiled and proudly raised his head . “I, Jia Rong, am sitting straight, do whatever you want to me . Come on!”

 

He lifted up his Arcane Master’s robe and stretched out a pair of pure white hands .
