680: Chapter 677: Assessing the Alchemist?

Xiang Mingzhi!

Green Dragon Divine Fire!

When Huang Xiaolong heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was shocked.

That Xiang Mingzhi had actually obtained one of the Four Great Divine Flames, the Green Dragon Divine Fire!

Although Huang Xiaolong did not know what the Four Great Divine Flames were, he could tell that they were an extremely formidable type of flame.

For an alchemist, apart from their alchemy skill, the flame they possessed was also of the utmost importance.

Just like Huang Xiaolong, if he did not have the Immortal Yuan Fire, it would be impossible for him to refine Holy-level Divine Pills.

Even if his alchemy skill were high, without the Immortal Yuan Fire, he could not possibly manage to refine them.

Elder Sheng Yue was also astonished upon hearing this.

He had stayed at Golden Dragon Peak for ten years to teach Huang Xiaolong alchemy techniques, so he was somewhat familiar with Huang Xiaolong’s affairs, such as the grudges between him and the current Azure Dragon Mansion Master’s direct disciple, Xiang Mingzhi.

“That Xiang Mingzhi kid actually got the Green Dragon Divine Fire!” Elder Sheng Yue said with a serious expression.

Seeing that even Old Man Sheng Yue was so cautious about the Green Dragon Divine Fire, Huang Xiaolong’s eyebrows twitched.

Upon seeing Huang Xiaolong’s expression, Elder Sheng Yue thought for a moment and said, “In our Four Great Star Rivers, there are Four Great Divine Flames.

These flames are said to be born automatically within the Star River and are incredibly powerful.

However, all four types of divine flames have disappeared for a million years.

It’s unexpected that Xiang Mingzhi would obtain one now!”

Huang Xiaolong looked at Elder Sheng Yue with confusion.

An extremely powerful flame?

However, Huang Xiaolong felt that the Green Dragon Divine Fire was definitely not just a simple powerful flame.

He suspected that Elder Sheng Yue was hiding something when describing it to him.

Perhaps he was worried that knowing too much about the formidable Green Dragon Divine Fire would pressure Huang Xiaolong psychologically?

“Now that Xiang Mingzhi has obtained the Green Dragon Divine Fire and has been tempered by it, his strength has greatly increased.

It’s said that he has even broken through to the Divine Domain Seventh Rank Late Stage!”

“But, the Vermilion Bird Mansion Master’s direct disciple, He Feifan, and the White Tiger Mansion Master’s direct disciple, Wan Zhenxing, have also arrived.

Both are Divine Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak powerhouses, and both are close to Great Perfection.

Their alchemy skills have also reached the Alchemy Grandmaster realm.

They are both aiming for the title of Pill King this time!”

“I heard that Xuanwu Mansion’s direct disciple, Huang Xiaolong, will also participate.

I don’t know if it’s true.

His cultivation talent has been recognized as the number one person in the Four Great Star Rivers.

It’s just unclear how his alchemy skill measures up.”

“Being number one in cultivation talent doesn’t mean much; that doesn’t prove his alchemy skill is also high.

Some with excellent cultivation talent are often quite ordinary in their alchemy skill.

This time Xiang Mingzhi has declared to the outside world that he wants to thoroughly defeat Huang Xiaolong in this Alchemy Grandmaster competition and make Huang Xiaolong kneel and call him Ancestor!”

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes emitted a cold light when he heard this, and he looked towards that person.

However, that person did not notice Huang Xiaolong’s expression and continued with pride, “To be honest with you all, I personally saw Xiang Mingzhi take just three hours to refine a batch of Infinite Divine Pills!”

The other three were greatly surprised, “Holy-level Divine Pills, Infinite Divine Pills?” And in three hours!

This was shocking news!

Even some Alchemy Grandmasters would find it extremely difficult to achieve this.

“How about that, scared now?” The man was even more proud, “Do you think that Huang Xiaolong of yours could manage it?

Could he refine a batch of Infinite Divine Pills in three hours?

Not to mention three hours, even if you gave him three years, or three hundred years, I don’t think he could refine them!”

Elder Sheng Yue heard this but did not get angry.

Instead, he looked at Huang Xiaolong with a smile and said, “Kid, it seems that not many people have faith in you in this Alchemy Grandmaster competition.”

Huang Xiaolong suppressed the killing intent in his heart and remained calm, “Nobody ever had faith in me during each examination at Xuanwu Academy, not even Master Feng Yang.

But in the end, I was always the first!”

Elder Sheng Yue rarely praised with a smile, “Good, you have arrogance, grandeur, bull spirit, tiger spirit, and even the spirit of a pond loafer!”

Huang Xiaolong rolled his eyes at White Tiger, thinking to himself, what bull spirit, tiger spirit, and what spirit of a pond loafer—what are these even about?

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaofei covered her mouth and giggled softly.

“Alright, let’s drink, let’s have a good one today!” Elder Sheng Yue urged, “After we’re done, we still have to make a trip to the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild Headquarters.”

“To the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild Headquarters?” Huang Xiaolong asked in surprise.

Elder Sheng Yue said irritably, “Haven’t you been paying attention to the Alchemy Grandmaster competition at all?

The first requirement to participate in the Alchemy Grandmaster contest is to hold the identity of an Alchemist.

How can you join without it?”

With a somewhat embarrassed smile, Huang Xiaolong admitted that he indeed hadn’t paid much attention to the Alchemy Grandmaster contest.

Over the years, he had basically stayed at Golden Dragon Peak, focusing on cultivation and alchemy, so he truly didn’t know that one needed to be an Alchemist to participate in the contest.

Only then did Huang Xiaolong understand the purpose of Elder Sheng Yue taking him to the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.

However, since each person was limited to two jars of Pill King wine, it was destined that they couldn’t indulge to their heart’s content.

After finishing all the Pill King wine brought by the tavern owner Deng Caizhi, Elder Sheng Yue patted his stomach with satisfaction, and then he and Huang Xiaolong left the tavern.

Of course, before leaving, Elder Sheng Yue did not forget to take six jars of Pill King wine with him.

Naturally, Huang Xiaolong was the one to pay for the wine.

Although it had been tens of thousands of years since his last visit, Elder Sheng Yue still found the streets of Pill King City very familiar.

Tens of thousands of years had passed, but the main streets of Pill King City had not changed much.

It wasn’t long before Elder Sheng Yue led Huang Xiaolong, accompanied by Shi Xiaofei, to the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild Headquarters.

Looking at the splendid, imposing yet solemn and holy grand structure before them, Elder Sheng Yue’s expression was complicated, showing nostalgia, relief, excitement, and even a hint of regret?

Noticing the regret on Elder Sheng Yue’s face, Huang Xiaolong wondered what he could possibly regret about the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.

“It’s been sixty thousand years since I last came here,” sighed Elder Sheng Yue.

“I don’t know if there have been any changes inside.

Let’s go in.” After saying that, he took the lead and entered the grand gates of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild Headquarters.

Since there were no guards at the entrance, no one stopped to question them.

The lack of guards was probably because the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild felt confident that no one would dare cause trouble there.

Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei quickly followed him inside.

Once inside, they found themselves in a huge hall where at each of the four corners stood an ancient-looking tripod furnace, wafting out the scent of Elixir Pills.

Huang Xiaolong hadn’t expected so many people in the hall, all of whom had come from the Four Great Star Rivers to participate in the Alchemy Grandmaster contest.

Some were there to take the Alchemist exam because they lacked the Alchemist identity, while others were simply there to watch the excitement.

Although Elder Sheng Yue was an elder of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild, he didn’t rely on his status and made Huang Xiaolong earnestly take an Examination Card and wait his turn for the assessment.

As Huang Xiaolong was waiting for his assessment, Lin Yan who had embarrassingly returned to his Mansion after leaving Pill King Tavern, upon hearing his subordinates’ report that Huang Xiaolong had gone to the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild for the Alchemist assessment, couldn’t help laughing excitedly: “An Alchemist examination?

Kid, this time I’ll see how I play you to death!” Having said that, he led his subordinates towards the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.

Although he wasn’t an elder of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild like his father, he was still a Deacon of the Guild, and moreover, an Intermediate Deacon.

Whether Huang Xiaolong could pass the examination or not was just a word away for him.
