Invincible Over the World
Chapter 655 - 655 652 Refining Divine Status

655: Chapter 652: Refining Divine Status 655: Chapter 652: Refining Divine Status Elder Sheng Yue nodded and said, “That’s right, the Alchemy Grandmaster Contest, an event jointly organized by the super forces across the Four Great Star Rivers, is indeed a grand event held every three thousand years.”

However, Huang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled, “What Alchemy Grandmaster Contest?

I’m not interested.”

Indeed, Huang Xiaolong had never been much interested in alchemy.

What was most important to him now was to constantly enhance his strength, preparing for the Divine Ascension Contest that was more than two hundred years away.

Securing the first place in the Divine Ascension Contest was his current goal.

Elder Sheng Yue did not expect Huang Xiaolong to outright express his disinterest and was taken aback before he burst into anger and said, “What did you say?

You know nothing, how can you say you’re not interested!

Participating in the Alchemy Grandmaster Contest is already a supreme honor.

If you were to win first place, that would be the glory of a lifetime for an alchemist!

Glory, do you understand?

Do you?”

Elder Sheng Yue’s expression was one of extreme frustration, as if he wanted to strangle Huang Xiaolong.

For Elder Sheng Yue, who had spent most of his life obsessed with alchemy, winning first place in an Alchemy Grandmaster Contest organized by the Four Great Star Rivers was the ultimate honor!

Huang Xiaolong’s outright declaration of disinterest could only fuel his anger.

Huang Xiaolong did not expect such a big reaction from Old Man Sheng Yue and could only offer a bitter smile.

Knowing Elder Sheng Yue’s temperament, the best course of action when he was angry was to not interrupt him and let him rant enough—otherwise, if you started talking, he would just rant endlessly.

About ten minutes later, Elder Sheng Yue finally calmed down.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong sitting calmly like an old monk in meditation, he suddenly grinned and said, “Kid, the rewards for each Alchemy Grandmaster Contest are incredibly generous.

The first prize is three thousand Supreme Divine Pills!

You know about these, right?

They’re currently ranked as the first among all Holy-level Divine Pills.

Besides the three thousand Supreme Divine Pills, there’s also a Holy-level Divine Tripod, three thousand Top-level Divine-grade Divine Stones, and three thousand varieties of million-year-old Spiritual Medicine!”

Huang Xiaolong was greatly surprised.

The first prize of the Alchemy Grandmaster Contest was actually three thousand Supreme Divine Pills!

That was incredibly shocking.

The rumor had it that consuming a single Supreme Divine Pill could massively boost one’s strength, fundamentally transform them, and even purify their soul.

Moreover, it was said that with enough Supreme Divine Pills and cultivation, a Divine Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak Powerhouse could considerably increase their chances of breaking through to Divine status.

This was why the Supreme Divine Pill ranked first among all Holy-level Divine Pills.

Besides the three thousand Supreme Divine Pills, there was also a Holy-level Divine Tripod, three thousand Top-level Divine-grade Divine Stones, and three thousand varieties of million-year-old Spiritual Medicine!

Each reward was exceedingly astounding.

Huang Xiaolong had set up the Five-Colored Gathering God Flag on Golden Dragon Peak, which consumed one hundred Divine-grade Divine Stones every decade.

After fifty years, Huang Xiaolong would exhaust his supply of Divine-grade Divine Stones, making those three thousand Top-level Divine-grade Divine Stones very important to him.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s expression, Elder Sheng Yue knew he was tempted and continued smiling, “How about it, kid?

Interested now?

I’ve also heard that this year’s first prize for the Alchemy Grandmaster Contest might include a Divine status!”

“What?

A Divine Status!” Huang Xiaolong exclaimed in shock.

This Alchemy Grandmaster Contest was truly insane to offer a Divine Status as a reward!

Although it wasn’t comparable to the first prize of the Divine Ascension Contest, it was still incredibly shocking.

Huang Xiaolong was well aware of how precious a Divine Status was.

Elder Sheng Yue, very pleased with Huang Xiaolong’s stunned reaction, said with a laugh, “That’s right, a Divine Status, and it’s likely a Level 6 Divine Status, even better than the one I gave you.”

Huang Xiaolong inhaled sharply.

It was a Level 6 Divine Status!

Elder Sheng Yue then said, “Do you know who the wealthiest people in this world are?

Let me tell you, it’s the Alchemy Grandmasters!

That’s why the rewards for this Alchemy Grandmaster competition are so substantial.

Every session, these rewards are provided by the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.”

“Alchemy Grandmaster Guild?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

Since he had little interest in alchemy, he rarely paid attention to this area and had never heard of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild before.

Seeing that Huang Xiaolong had never heard of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild, Elder Sheng Yue became somewhat infuriated and exclaimed, “You’ve never heard of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild?

What kind of master is Feng Yang, that boy, actually being for you?

In the future, in front of others, don’t say you are my disciple, Elder Sheng Yue!”

Huang Xiaolong pursed his lips, seemingly because this old man had insisted on taking him as his direct disciple.

However, becoming a disciple of Xuanwu Mansion Master Feng Yang, it was true that Master Feng Yang had barely taught Huang Xiaolong anything.

Of course, Huang Xiaolong knew it wasn’t because Feng Yang was unwilling to teach, but because Huang Xiaolong had always chosen to cultivate on his own over the years, which indeed allowed him to advance faster.

“It seems that I need to visit my master’s cultivation palace more often in the future,” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

Originally, he had taken Feng Yang as his master mainly to gain protection under the prestige of the Xuanwu Mansion Master, never really considering relying on Feng Yang to guide his cultivation.

After Elder Sheng Yue’s anger had subsided, he continued to explain to Huang Xiaolong about the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild and the Alchemy Grandmaster competition.

Only then did Huang Xiaolong gain some understanding of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.

Within the Star River, whoever could refine a Divine-grade Divine Pill could join the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.

However, there are different levels among the alchemists in the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.

The lowest is Alchemist, followed by Alchemy Master, above Alchemy Master is Alchemy Grandmaster, and above Alchemy Grandmaster is Alchemy Grandmaster.

To Huang Xiaolong’s surprise, Elder Sheng Yue was the only special-rank Alchemy Grandmaster in the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild!

Special rank!

When Elder Sheng Yue spoke of his status as a special-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, he was extremely proud, “How about that?

Your Grandmaster is impressive, isn’t he?

Haha, not to boast, but when it comes to alchemy skills, among the Four Great Star Rivers, no one dares to claim they are first if I declare myself the second!”

Huang Xiaolong rolled his eyes.

“Old man, with your strength, you would certainly win first place if you participated, so why don’t you go?” Huang Xiaolong asked, voicing his doubt.

Elder Sheng Yue said annoyed, “You think I don’t want to participate?

However, sixty thousand years ago, I took part in one session and won first place.

The rules of the Alchemy Grandmaster competition stipulate that anyone who has participated and placed in the top three cannot participate again.”

Huang Xiaolong suddenly understood, thinking that if Elder Sheng Yue participated every session, he would always be the winner.

Later, Huang Xiaolong inquired about the timing of the next Alchemy Grandmaster competition and learned it was twenty-five years later, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

With twenty-five years to prepare, plus the instruction of Elder Sheng Yue, Huang Xiaolong felt quite confident about winning the first prize in the Alchemy Grandmaster competition.

By the time he returned from Elder Sheng Yue’s residence, it was already late at night.

Huang Xiaolong entered the Sumeru Divine Palace and took out the Divine Status, unable to contain his excitement.

With this Level 5 Divine Status, he should be able to advance to Seventh Rank before the Alchemy Grandmaster competition.

Huang Xiaolong sat down cross-legged, activated the Asura Technique, and began to absorb the Divine Power and Divine Rules within the Divine Status.
