Wu Xulong finally caught an opportunity to mock Feng Qiulin and absolutely couldn't let it go.
He laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Feng Qiulin, didn't you say your alchemists have made great strides in the last decade?"
"This progress is too great, directly taking first place, but it's the last one, hahaha."
At this moment, jeers from the side also came.
"I remember the last place in the previous competition still had 120 points, but this time the last place in the elixir competition actually dropped to 90 points."
"Are the Second-Rank Alchemists of Mingkai City Branch so unprofessional? It would be better for our branch to send a First-Rank Alchemist; at least they could get over 100 points."
Feng Qiulin's face turned ashen as he listened to the mockery from the people nearby.
He felt a burning sensation on his face and couldn't stay any longer, so he turned and left the competition venue.
At this time, it was time for the top ten of the competition to go on stage to receive their rewards.
However, these were all small prizes; the most important thing was that their branch's profits didn't have to be handed over to headquarters for ten years.
In this way, with the passage of time, their branch's foundation could be greatly improved.
Wu Xulong went on stage to represent Tianchen City to receive the award, feeling like he was in a dream.
It all came too fast and was too dreamlike.
At this moment, in a hidden corner, Feng Qiulin watched this scene.
The jealousy and hatred in his heart surged like a volcanic eruption, and his eyes became fierce.
"Why, why, junior brother, you're very proud, aren't you? You always overshadowed me in the past."
"Now the branch you represent has left me far behind, trampling my face on the ground."
"It's all because of that Yang Lingtian who came out of nowhere. As long as your Wu Xulong's branch loses him, it will definitely fall into the abyss again."
"That damn Yang Lingtian, he must not be left alive!"
At this moment, Yang Lingtian became the target of Feng Qiulin's hatred.
Soon, the entire elixir competition came to an end, but Wu Xulong and the others stayed at the scene to communicate with others.
The name of Tianchen City and Yang Lingtian quickly spread throughout the capital, and this influence was even greater than the previous competitions.
Because this was the first perfect score in history, and five Fourth-Order Spirit Elixirs were successfully refined during the elixir refining process.
These news will cause a huge sensation in the capital, Moon Shadow City.
Yang Lingtian truly achieved fame and renown for the first time, shaking all directions.
At this time, the system's voice finally sounded.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the limited-time mission, helping Tianchen City Branch win first place in the competition and becoming famous in all directions. As a reward, you will receive the Chaos Dao Body, a physique that is unique throughout the ages.]
What?
The Chaos Dao Body, unique throughout the ages?
This is too much of a surprise!
Yang Lingtian knew that the Chaos Dao Body was an extremely powerful physique!
In this way, he had another powerful boost on his path to becoming a strong person.
While still in surprise, Yang Lingtian suddenly felt hot all over, as if a huge change was taking place in his body.
At this time, a stream of Chaos Qi was wandering in his body, constantly changing his physique.
Chaos Qi is a mysterious and powerful energy that can constantly and subtly transform Yang Lingtian's body.
Making his body gradually possess the characteristics of the Chaos Dao Body, his physical body began to become stronger.
And this moment came too quickly and went away too quickly, soon returning to calm.
And there was no leakage of any aura, and no one on the field noticed the changes in Yang Lingtian's body.
Everything was too calm, which made Yang Lingtian a little puzzled, his brow furrowed slightly.
He obtained the Chaos Dao Body so calmly, like a dragonfly skimming the water?
And wouldn't awakening a heaven-defying physique cause celestial phenomena? Where did the celestial phenomena go?
At this time, Chaos Bead's surprised voice sounded in his ear: "Chaos Dao Body, this aura is unmistakable, it's actually the Chaos Dao Body."
"Master, you actually awakened the heaven-defying Chaos Dao Body. It's unbelievable that this small world can allow the Chaos Dao Body to awaken."
Hearing that even Chaos Bead was so surprised, Yang Lingtian knew that this Chaos Dao Body was definitely not simple.
However, Yang Lingtian was still a little puzzled and asked, "Why didn't I see celestial phenomena like Yiyue when I awakened the Chaos Dao Body?"
Chaos Bead replied in that child-like voice: "That's because this world is not worthy of resonating with the Chaos Dao Body."
"The Chaos Dao Body is the strongest physique in Chaos. It has already transcended this world, and the Heavenly Dao of this world cannot sense it at all."
"However, your current Chaos Dao Body has not been fully awakened yet, and you need to develop it further."
At this time, a voice interrupted Yang Lingtian's conversation with Chaos Bead.
"Little friend Lingtian, is it convenient for you to come back to the headquarters with me? I want to talk to you."
Yang Lingtian turned his head and saw that it was Master Qin Qi speaking to him.
Master Qin Qi was not only a top expert at the peak of the Golden Core stage, but also a highly respected fifth-order alchemist.
He had to give him face, otherwise it would really be a bit ungrateful.
Yang Lingtian cupped his fist and said, "Of course, I'm available right now."
The other alchemists all looked towards Yang Lingtian, their eyes filled with envy.
This was Master Qin Qi's invitation, which meant that he valued Yang Lingtian very much.
Afterwards, Master Qin Qi directly took Yang Lingtian back to a secret room in the main pavilion.
Yang Lingtian spoke first, "I wonder what Master Qin wants to talk to me about?"
Master Qin Qi said with a smile, "You may have already guessed, I'm naturally curious how you know that sixth-level Spirit Elixir formula?"
"I thought that in the Star-Moon Dynasty, no one knew this formula except me."
After thinking for a moment, Yang Lingtian made up a reason and replied, "Actually, this is one of my secrets."
"But I won't hide it from Master Qin. I accidentally obtained a medicinal pill manual and inheritance from an alchemy master when I was outside."
"This medicinal pill manual records many kinds of pill formulas that have never appeared on the market."
"However, only a few sixth-order Spirit Elixir formulas are recorded on it, and the sixth-order Spirit Elixir formula from the competition happened to be recorded in the medicinal pill manual."
"That's why I was able to write this formula, it was really a fluke!"
These words immediately aroused Master Qin Qi's suspicion and interest. He continued to ask, "Oh, is this medicinal pill manual inheritance still around?"
Yang Lingtian continued to make up a story with a straight face, "I've already destroyed it, because I know that I don't have the strength to protect such a treasure."
"Keeping it would definitely be a disaster, so I memorized all the alchemy techniques and pill formulas in the manual."
"And after becoming a fourth-order alchemist, I destroyed it."
Qin Qi stared closely at Yang Lingtian's eyes, trying to see if there was a shifty look that would indicate he was lying.
But Yang Lingtian appeared very calm from beginning to end, his eyes were also very firm, and he didn't look like he was lying.
This aroused Master Qin Qi's interest instead.
If an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was questioned alone by a Golden Core peak stage cultivator, they would either be extremely nervous or extremely excited.
Yang Lingtian, on the other hand, appeared so calm and experienced.
"Little friend, you did the right thing. If I were like you, without the protection of any major power, I would also destroy it," Master Qin Qi said with a smile.
Although he still didn't completely believe Yang Lingtian's words, none of that mattered anymore.
"Little friend Yang, as a fourth-order alchemist, and with such exquisite alchemy skills."
"It's a pity to be living in a small place like Tianchen City. How about coming to the royal city, to the main pavilion?"
"The main pavilion has generous benefits. I can ask the pavilion master to give you a higher salary than other fourth-order alchemists. What do you think?"
Yang Lingtian smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for Master Qin's promotion, but I still have many things to deal with in Tianchen City."
"So I can't take a job at the True Elixir Pavilion main pavilion yet, please forgive me."
Master Qin Qi was slightly stunned. So many alchemists from branch pavilions wanted to enter the main pavilion but couldn't.
Yang Lingtian actually rejected such a dream opportunity for others.
However, Master Qin smiled lightly and said, "Alright, the True Elixir Pavilion main pavilion is always open to you."
"This is my token. With this token, you can come to me at any time when you come to the royal city."
Master Qin Qi took out a token and handed it to Yang Lingtian, with the character "Qin" written on it.
Yang Lingtian took the token and looked at it. The material was much worse than the token given by the mysterious old man last time.
After he accepted the token, he cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Master Qin, for the token. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Okay, there's nothing else. I hope to see you again in the future," Master Qin said with a smile.
Qin Qi looked in the direction where Yang Lingtian left and murmured to himself, "This kid is not simple."
"Perhaps it's true that he obtained a medicinal pill manual, but relying solely on a medicinal pill manual inheritance couldn't have allowed someone who is only eighteen years old to become a fourth-order alchemist so quickly."
"There must be secrets in this that I can't imagine, and his own alchemy talent must be amazing."
"Perhaps our Star-Moon Dynasty can really produce a sixth-order alchemist, and he is the most promising one."
"I can't see through this child, and he may have a great background behind him."
At this time, Yang Lingtian had already left the main pavilion and was returning to the inn.
However, with his divine soul reaching the Golden Core realm, he noticed that he was being followed on the way.
But although he was vigilant, he didn't care. After all, he was famous now, and it was normal to be watched.
Seeing Yang Lingtian return to his room at the inn, Wu Xulong came forward happily to express his gratitude.
Wu Xulong first bowed to Yang Lingtian, and then said excitedly, "Master Yang, thanks to you."
"I really didn't expect our Tianchen City branch pavilion to win first place in this pill competition."
"To express my gratitude, feel free to ask for anything. As long as it's within my power, I won't hesitate."
Yang Lingtian also smiled slightly, "I don't have any special requests. Just give me the Spirit Stones reward you promised earlier."
"Of course, if you want to give me a little extra, I wouldn't mind."
Wu Xulong was slightly stunned, almost forgetting the previous agreement with Yang Lingtian.
However, the previous promise of rewarding twenty million Spirit Stones for getting first place was just casually said.
He didn't believe Yang Lingtian could get first place anyway, so he didn't take the Spirit Stones reward to heart.
