Above Golden Radiance City, at this moment, the great formation dissipated, and a towering black pillar of light suddenly stood tall. A large group of people were gathered here, their eyes fixed on the two figures that appeared in front of the black pillar of light, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Not far in front of the two, a group of people from the Formation Master Association were staring at them, their emotions suddenly tensing up when the white-robed youth revealed his name.
Qin Yun, this name may be unfamiliar to most people, but within their Formation Master Association, he is renowned and can be said to possess immense power.
"Zhihui was unaware that it was Young Master Qin who intervened. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"
Upon seeing the white-robed youth before him, Cheng Zhihui's anger instantly subsided, and he quickly bowed to the two men before him.
"It's alright. Ignorance is no excuse. I'm not such a petty person. Let's drop this matter. But from now on, I forbid you from coming any closer."
Qin Yun raised his fair and arrogant face, staring at Cheng Zhihui and his group opposite him with a half-smile, and said in a calm tone.
"This..."
Upon hearing Qin Yun's words, Cheng Zhihui frowned. Refining pills was forbidden in Golden Radiance City; this was a rule personally set by the president of their Formation Master Association, and no one had been able to break it over the years. If Xiao Yan successfully refined the pills today and no one was held accountable, wouldn't the Formation Master Association lose all face? If the higher authorities held them accountable, even though Cheng Zhihui was the fourth-ranking figure in the Formation Master Association, he couldn't bear the consequences.
" Qi Ming, I already sent Yan He to tell you that no one is allowed to touch this person. It seems you don't take my words to heart!"
Seeing the troubled look on Cheng Zhihui's face, Qin Yun knew that he couldn't make the decision. Therefore, he turned his gaze to the southwest, where the square in the city center was located, and where the black stone pillar stood tall.
Others may not know, but Qin Yun knows very well that beneath that stone pillar, beneath the ground, lies a huge palace, which is the true location of the Formation Master Association in Golden Radiance City.
"Hehe, young master, you're blaming me for this. Since you personally requested it, our Formation Master Association will naturally give you face. However, my subordinates don't know who the alchemist is. They're just following the rules. Please don't make things difficult for them, young master."
Not long after Qin Yun finished speaking, the void in front of everyone distorted again. Then, a middle-aged figure dressed in a golden robe appeared in front of Cheng Zhihui, blocking the group of people from the Formation Master Association behind him.
As this person appeared, everyone's attention shifted and fell on this middle-aged man.
Like most array masters in the city, the middle-aged man wore a long golden robe, had an average build, a full head of black hair, wore a golden hair crown, and had a refined appearance, looking like a scholar. However, anyone who knew him knew that although he seemed ordinary, he was a genuine Fourth-Tier Formation Master, and in addition, he was an Eight-Star Dou Di powerhouse!
With such cultivation and status, he was already no less powerful than Chen Zhen from the Western Wilderness Region.
"Hmph, if I don't make things difficult for them, am I supposed to make things difficult for you?"
Upon seeing this person, Qin Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and he let out another cold snort, but his expression had recovered considerably. After all, the person in front of him was the vice president of the Formation Master Association. Even Qin Yun could not be careless in front of the latter, at least not now.
Seeing this, Qi Ming immediately bowed to Qin Yun in apology, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said with a smile:
"Young Master Qin, on their behalf, we apologize."
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes, deciding not to press the matter further. Of course, this was the outcome he most wanted to see.
Seeing that Qin Yun did not move, Qi Ming turned around and gave a stern order to the group of people from the Formation Master Association behind him. Immediately, the group shrank back and retreated hastily. In the blink of an eye, only Qin Yun, Qi Ming who had just appeared, and the surrounding crowd remained in the arena. Even those in the crowd who were related to the Formation Master Association did not dare to stay for a moment and hurriedly dispersed.
"Hehe, I'm currently tied up with official duties. If Young Master Qin doesn't mind, then..."
"Let's go, but I hope this kind of thing never happens again!"
"That's for sure!"
Qi Ming smiled slightly, and then disappeared into the void once again. Then, Qin Yun turned his gaze to the huge pillar of light behind him, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. His gaze towards the Northern King in the pillar of light was filled with astonishment.
He had seen puppets before, but he had never seen one so bizarre that could devour Pill Lightning to enhance its own strength. Judging from this moment, the Northern King's strength had already entered the Mid Five-Star Dou Di. Even so, the Northern King's power was still constantly increasing. Judging from this momentum, he might break through to the Six-Star Dou Di!
" Six-Star Dou Di, isn't that the same as me?"
Qin Yun was slightly startled. It seemed that this Xiao Yan was no ordinary person!
Among the crowd, Han Dong also stared at Qin Yun with surprise, feeling a sense of doubt. Although he wasn't very familiar with the latter, he knew that Qin Yun was not what he appeared to be. He always had a purpose in everything he did, but his behavior today was somewhat unexpected.
With this in mind, Han Dong became even more curious. Who was the person currently refining medicine in the pavilion, that Qin Yun would step forward for them?
At the same time, in the underground hall of the Formation Master Association, three figures stood prominently.
"So, did you find anything?"
Inside the main hall, an elderly man in brocade robes asked Qi Ming, who had just appeared, in a deep voice. At the same time, another elderly man in golden robes with white hair also turned his gaze to Qi Ming.
Seeing the gazes that the two men were simultaneously casting at him, Qi Ming frowned, shook his head, and said:
"I don't know. That person's Spiritual Strength was extremely strong, even comparable to yours and mine. Moreover, it seemed to be mixed with something else, a special power that completely blocked my Spiritual Strength. I couldn't probe the situation inside the attic at all."
"What!"
Upon hearing that the alchemist's Spiritual Strength was no less than theirs, the two men in the hall's expressions changed drastically. An alchemist whose Spiritual Strength was comparable to the three of them was no small matter.
"Judging from Qin Yun's actions just now, he seems to care a lot about this person. In this Western Region, there aren't many people he can value!"
Who exactly is he?
The three looked at each other, all their questions now focused on Xiao Yan.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. As dusk settled, the towering black pillar of light in the sky finally dissipated, exposing the Northern King within it back to the air. Along with the black pillar of light, the thunderclouds in the sky also vanished. Only at this moment could the Pill Lightning be considered to have officially dissipated. Xiao Yan, who had been sitting cross-legged in the pavilion all day, finally opened his eyes.
