Ling Yu's Confusion
Everyone listened intently, when Fa Ma gave a shocking answer, "The champions of this Alchemist Grand Meeting are— Qiu Shan and Yan Xiao."
The crowd erupted in uproar. Two champions? That was unheard of!
"I didn't expect the Alchemist Guild to handle it this way." Elder Yao's relaxed voice rang out. Although the tie for first place was somewhat unexpected, it was also reasonable.
However, Fa Ma quickly provided an explanation.
"I know this is very unbelievable. Since the tournament started, there has never been a precedent of two champions."
"But this result was reached after consultation between myself and many master alchemists. It is absolutely fair and just!"
Fa Ma's prestige was sufficient; after his words, no one dared to object. "You're so capable, why don't you refine a Fifth Grade Pill and let me see?"
"A tie for first place?" Xiao Wu Yue muttered. "That's alright!"
Although he couldn't receive the reward from his own clan leader, he reluctantly accepted it. However, Xiao Yan's Yao Tian was far beyond Xiao Wu Yue's expectations.
"As for the reward..." Fa Ma's voice trailed off as he spoke about this matter of common interest to everyone.
Even Xiao Yan subconsciously listened intently, wondering how the two champions should divide the recipe for the Soul Fusion Pill.
Fa Ma smiled kindly, "Our Alchemist Guild only has one copy of the Soul Fusion Pill formula."
Everyone present felt a tightness in their chest, mixed with a little anticipation. Could there be an overtime period?
"Therefore, my Alchemist Guild has changed the types of prizes."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face immediately fell. Damn it, I went through so much trouble for this pill formula, and you old man just changed it like that!
Xiao Yan cursed Fa Ma in his heart, while Fa Ma continued speaking:
"Our Alchemist Guild is providing three Sixth Grade Pill Formulas, including the Soul Fusion Pill, for the two Alchemists to choose from."
"Three pill formulas! The Alchemist Guild is really going all out!" someone exclaimed. Sixth Grade Pill Formula are extremely rare, yet the Alchemist Guild brought out three at once, which truly shocked everyone else.
Fa Ma was also very happy at this moment, and he was extremely grateful to Xiao Zhan. Originally, the Alchemist Guild had only prepared one Sixth Grade Pill Formula, but the choice of champion was too difficult, which put him in a difficult position.
Just as Fa Ma was about to suffer a huge loss, Xiao Zhan stepped in to help, providing two Sixth Grade Pill Formulas for free, which suddenly made the prizes much more abundant.
That feels so good!
As far as Xiao Zhan was concerned, it all belonged to their family anyway; it was just a matter of transferring it from one hand to the other, so it didn't matter!
Xiao Yan also brightened; as long as the recipe for the Soul Fusion Pill was still available, that was fine.
However, he soon felt a strong sense of fatigue, and then the world spun around him, and Xiao Yan fainted on the spot.
Although Xiao Yan was able to refine Fifth Grade Pill due to a sudden enlightenment, it took a great deal of his mental energy. Now that he has the championship and the pill formula, he has relaxed and can no longer keep his guard up.
Xiao Yan, who had fallen into a coma, was taken to a special rest room by the people who were prepared at the venue.
"Oh dear, this little guy has had a tough time!" In the distance, Xiao Wu, having witnessed such a juicy tale, felt extremely satisfied and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's time to go!" Xiao Wu said, and then disappeared along with Xian'er behind him.
He was already quite excited about today's spectacle, and there was another big juicy story to follow in a few days Three-Year Agreement. Xiao Wu could say that the events of the past month had been more exciting than the years he had spent in Central Plains.
While things were bustling in the Jia Ma Empire, the Central Region, Langya Pavilion was not quiet either.
Looking at the Supreme Elder sitting quietly in front of him, Ling Yu felt a little strange. A month ago, he and four other geniuses ranked among the top ten of the Spirit Clan were summoned to the clan leader's presence.
Then they learned some shocking news—they were to be sent to the Langya Pavilion in Central Plains as disciples.
This is absolutely outrageous! When Ling Yu first heard this news, his immediate reaction was that it was impossible, absolutely impossible!
Are you kidding me? They're geniuses from Ancient Races! What's with them training in some powerful force in the Central Plains?
Is it that the Spirit Clan can't afford to support them?
Although Ling Yu had heard about the cooperation between the Spirit Clan and Langya Pavilion, he never took the latter seriously.
Although Langya Pavilion is powerful, how can it compare to the Spirit Clan!
Even though Ling Yu was completely skeptical, the clan patriarch's serious expression seemed genuine, conveying the same message—he absolutely had to go!
They couldn't fight against the powerful, so they had no choice but to agree. They hadn't expected that the clan would value Langya Pavilion so much.
No, it should be said that they value these people! They actually specially dispatched the clan's genius Dou Sheng, Elder Ling Yi, who was hailed as a candidate for clan leader, to personally escort them.
For a moment, the five members of the Spirit Clan, including Ling Yu, felt very honored, and even the displeasure caused by being exiled to the Langya Pavilion was greatly reduced.
But Ling Yu has a problem: he asks about everything he doesn't understand, from cultivation issues to clan gossip.
As a result, he frequently made mistakes and offended countless people. If it weren't for his considerable abilities among his peers, he doesn't know if he would still be alive today.
This is not...
My old habits have kicked in again!
Seeing the seemingly "idle" Elder Ling Yi ahead, Ling Yu's reckless spirit resurfaced. A girl in blue next to him thought of her companion's dark past and couldn't help but turn pale.
She reached out her slender, fair hand to grab Ling Yu, but...
It's too late!
Ling Yu had already stepped forward and stopped a few steps behind Ling Yi.
Although Ling Yi hadn't opened her eyes, she could sense everything around her. The same was true of Ling Yu's approach.
"What is it?" Ling Yi's cold voice rang out.
Many Elder in the clan had a deep impression of Ling Yu, this talented junior with quite a few flaws, including her.
Out of respect, Ling Yu never got too close to Ling Yi, since that distance was nothing to them anyway.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's question, Ling Yu instinctively bowed, about to say something...
"Come here and talk!"
"Yes!" Ling Yu was taken aback at first, then responded.
He wasn't afraid at all; surely his own Elder wouldn't take his life!
Ling Yu stopped behind Ling Yi, and then a transparent shield rose up around them. Ling Yi had turned around and was now facing Ling Yu.
"Elder!" Ling Yu said respectfully.
"Um."
"What's the matter?"
So Ling Yu voiced his doubts, "Why did the clan send just a few of us to the Langya Pavilion? There must have been many other candidates, right?"
Back then, Ling Yu didn't dare ask the question in front of the clan leader and could only follow his instructions. Now that he had met the most easy-going Elder in the clan, Ling Yu naturally felt free to speak his mind.
For Ancient Races, the methods for cultivating their members are fixed, including Dou Techniques skills, elixirs, and baptism, forming a complete and effective system.
Changing your training location abruptly can cause great discomfort and may even hinder your training.
Therefore, very few members of Ancient Races join other factions, as it would be a complete loss for them.
Even if it were to demonstrate the close relationship between the Spirit Clan and the Langya Pavilion, and to show their attitude, sending anyone who was passable would have sufficed. There was absolutely no need to send half of the younger generation's geniuses; that would be completely illogical.
After explaining his confusion, Ling Yu lowered his head, awaiting the Elder's reply.
