Chapter 19.1: Alchemy

Lan Xuan’s face reddened and quickly covered his embarrassment with an unrestrained laugh. “If you don’t dare, just say so and ask for some woman to stand up for you. Ha-ha! Is this really the eldest grandson of the Marquis, the son of the General?”

“Ha, your head! Pui!” Yunxiao clicked his tongue and spat on Lan Xuan’s face. With such abominable strength, there was a sound of something tearing through the air.

Lan Xuan was furious, but seeing a mouthful of saliva flying its way over, he could only move to the side and evade it, but in the eyes of the outsiders, it was considered as him giving way to Yunxiao.

Yunxiao mockingly walked over and raised his middle finger. “Though you are shameless, I, your big brother, will accept your challenge! In three days, at the practice grounds, I’ll beat you until you kneel down and lick my shoes!”

Everyone: “…..”

The entire audience was stunned. Han Bai and Chen Zhen’s faces turned pale. They anxiously ran over and stood behind Yunxiao to warn him not to be too impulsive.

“Li Yunxiao, you can’t let this go now…” Qin Ruxue also said anxiously.

Yunxiao’s heart warmed. Though he’d been a muddleheaded trash for fifteen years and had yet to accomplish anything worthy, he was glad to have such few sincere friends. Compared to his previous life, he stood at the peak of the world alone and lonely.

He smiled at the three of his good friends. It was the kind of smile that infected them and calmed their anxious moods. It was as if they completely believed Yunxiao would win.

The three of them stood in a stunned daze. They could not understand why they felt such a strange and impossible feeling…

Lan Xuan also stood in a daze for a slight moment. He grew ired that his face turned ashed; however, he’d had never thought Yunxia would readily agree. Afraid Yunxiao would go back on his words, he hurriedly said, “You said it yourself! If you don’t come three days later, there will no longer be a place for you in the academy!”

Yunxiao did not turn his and only laughed lightly. “Don’t worry. In these three days, you should think about how you’ll lick my feet.”

“You…!” Lan Xuan’s face bloomed a tomato red. He looked coldly at Yunxiao’s back as he gnashed his teeth. “If I don’t completely cripple you in three days, I won’t be surnamed Lan!”

The smile on Yunxiao’s face slowly faded as his eyes flashed with killing intent.

The feud between the Li Clan and the Lan Clan had lasted for decades. Looks like he’ll have to start with this brat, Lan Xuan. When the time comes, he’ll completely wipe out the entire Lan Clan.

Yunxiao left the academy and headed straight for the Arcane Master’s Association.

The hall on the first floor was bustling with activity. Yunxiao looked around and saw an apprentice alchemist concentrating on brewing potions. A faint smell of medicine wafted through the air. He knew that this was a powerful potion, something that could increase a martial artist’s strength for a short period of time.

It was currently the annual examination of Jia Lan Academy, and this item was extremely easy to sell.

The apprentice was focused entirely on fusing his soul power into the potion, balancing the conflicts between the various medicines. At the same time, he would occasionally add things into the potion.

Yunxiao lightly smiled and couldn’t help but remind him, “You put too much refining grass and only a single flower of dust in to neutralize the medicinal effects; otherwise, it will explode in five breaths of time.”

The apprentice raised his head and saw that it was someone he did not recognize. He snappily replied, “What do you know? Don’t disturb me!”

“Three breaths!”

“Two breaths!”

Yunxiao lightly pointed at it. Finally, when he said “one breath,” the disciple’s expression changed drastically. The medicine in the container was originally incomparably calm, but suddenly it seemed like it was boiling.

Peng!

A loud explosion resounded.

“This …” The apprentice was utterly stunned.

The explosion was not very big. It was just a splash on his body. Dozens of these things happen every day in the lobby on the first floor, so no one really cared.

“You… How did you know that the Flowing Grass was overgrown?” The apprentice finally asked in surprise.

Yunxiao laughed. “It’s nothing. I just smelled it. I want to find Jia Rong. Can you notify him to come here?”

“Smelled it?” The apprentice had a look of disbelief on his face. “Master Jia Rong seems to be in closed-door cultivation, and I don’t have the qualifications to look for him.”

A beautiful figure walked over and said with concern, “Brother Yu, you failed again? Are you hurt?”

Lu Yu shook his head and said, “It’s fine, I’m just wet. It’s a pity about the ingredients. Sigh… This brother is really useless!”

Yunxiao looked at the beauty and smiled. “Miss Lu Yao.”

Lu Yao turned her head and exclaimed, “Ah! It’s you?”

Yunxiao acted like a gentleman. “A beauty still remembers me. What an honor.”

Lu Yao chuckled. “Last time, after Master Liang Wenyu saw your recipe, he was full of praises.”

“Master Liang was full of praise?” Lu Yu was surprised. “You’re also an Arcane Master?”

Yunxiao laughed, “I used to be, but not right now. I want to find Jia Rong, help me pass along the message, dear beauty.”

Lu Yao was taken aback. “Master Jia Rong? It just so happens that he came out of closed-door training. Follow me.”

She then said to Lu Yu, “Brother Yu, don’t be discouraged. Try a few more times and you’ll succeed.”

Lu Yu bitterly said, “Maybe I really don’t have the talent to become an alchemist.”

He had tried a simple and potent medicine for more than ten times, but he was still unable to succeed. Moreover, these materials were costly, so he didn’t have the money to waste them like this.

Lu Yao was surprised, “Brother, don’t be like this. You have to believe in yourself. In Lu Yao’s heart, Big Brother is always the best!”

Chapter 19.2: Alchemy

A trace of light flashed through Lu Yu’s eyes, but it quickly dimmed down. “All these years it was Little Sister who earned the money for me to study. Big Brother doesn’t want to be a burden on you anymore. Once all these ingredients have been used up, if I still can’t concoct a powerful potion, I’ll give up.”

Yunxiao suddenly laughed. “Remember to refine at least three grass. If the color is too light, add another Cloud Piercing in. Believe me, you’ll definitely be able to do it!”

Lu Yu was surprised. “You … you’re an Arcane Master?”

“Didn’t I say that earlier? I used to be, but not right now.”

Lu Yu: “…”

“Big Brother, just try as he says. Last time he took out a recipe, even Master Liang Wenyu was praising it endlessly. “Lu Yao encouraged Lu Yu.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and said, “Okay, then I’ll try!”

Yunxiao smiled and followed Lu Yao to the second floor.

This was the first time Yunxiao had gone to the second floor of the Arcane Master’s Association.

Soon, they arrived at a room. Lu Yao carefully knocked on the door. Jia Rong’s impatient voice suddenly came from inside, seemingly interrupting his cultivation.

Shocked, Lu Yao nervously said, “A young man called Young Master Yun is looking for you.”

“Young Master Yun?”

Shocked sounds could be heard from inside, followed by a series of “pong peng” sounds. It seemed as if quite a lot of things had been knocked over, and in the next moment, the door to the room suddenly burst open.

“Young Master Yun!” Jia Rong’s face was full of respect. He quickly stepped to the side to open a path.

Was this the usually arrogant Master Jia Rong? Why was he so polite to a young man? No, that’s not right. It was not politeness, but respect. The expression on his face was even more respectful than when he saw the president!

“You may leave first.” Yunxiao lightly smiled and spoke to the dazed Lu Yao.

After Lu Yao hurriedly left, Yunxiao walked in with large strides. The interior was extremely spacious, and there were all sorts of refining equipment and array formations placed inside. There was only a small lounge in the corner. A few exquisite leather sofas were placed there, and a small bed was also placed in the corner.

The incomparable glory of Arcane Masters was also earned by them cultivating day and night. Behind every Arcane Master, although there was also luck, there was no doubt that they would bury their heads in cultivation.

“Young Master Yun, I’ve not only recovered my soul power, I’ve also made a breakthrough. I’ve truly made a breakthrough!”

Ever since he broke through, there was no one to talk to, and he almost suffocated. Now, he finally found someone to talk to.

“You’re so excited over such a small matter?” Yunxiao rolled his eyes. “I don’t have the time to listen to these trivial things. Once you break through to the Rank 6, then tell me.”

Becoming a true Arcane Master was a joyous occasion for the entire kingdom, but in Yunxiao’s eyes, it was a trivial matter.

Jia Rong’s face turned green when he heard that. When he heard the last sentence, his eyes immediately popped out as he cried out in shock, “Sixth… Sixth… Sixth Rank! How is this possible? How could I have such high talent?!”

Yunxiao lightly said, “Of course you don’t have this kind of talent, but with the Soul Refining Technique that I taught you, reaching Rank 6 is still okay.”

Jia Rong was baffled. “Sixth Rank… Sixth Rank… I can really reach the Sixth Rank? Are you lying to me?”

Yunxiao frowned and said coldly, “Don’t forget your status. What qualifications do you have to be worthy of me lying to you? Rank 6, in my eyes, is just the beginning. I came to find you to ask you to help me refine a few pills.”

“Yes, yes!” Cold sweat trickled down Jia Rong’s forehead. The Sixth Rank is only at the elementary stage. Although this Young Master Yun is mysterious, he must be bragging too much.

Yunxiao nodded. “One is an Origin Increasing Pill, and the other is an Origin Explosion Pill.”

“Origin Increasing Pill! Origin Explosion Pill!” Jia Rong was shocked. “These two pills are infinitely close to Rank 2. I’ve just advanced to Rank 1. I’m afraid that I cannot refine them.”

Yunxiao sneered. “With me here, what are you afraid of? Now that I’m preparing the materials, my time is limited.”

Jia Rong was stunned. Was Young Master Yun going to guide him in pill refining? Could he also be an Arcane Master? How is this possible?

Although he muttered in his heart, he still obediently followed Yunxiao’s instructions. He quickly got someone to prepare three portions of ingredients for both types of pills.

Yunxiao said, “Refining one is enough. What do you want three sets of ingredients for?”

Jia Rong smiled bitterly. This Young Master Yun is indeed not a refiner. He didn’t even know the success rate of refining, so he explained, “Level One refiners can refine a Level One pill with a success rate of over 60%, but it’s not 100%. Refining the Origin Increasing Pill and Energy Explosion Pill, which are both close to Level Two has a very low success rate. Even three sets of ingredients would not be enough. But there are only three stocks left, and I’ve already asked them to find a way to gather some more. ”

Yunxiao humphed and did not say anything. He walked up to the equipment and scanned through them, saying, “Let’s begin. You do as I say.”

Jia Rong was in disbelief, but he suppressed the doubt in his heart and started refining under Yunxiao’s guidance.
