Invincible Over the World
Chapter 686 - 686 683 Mountain Goat Ancestor

686: Chapter 683: Mountain Goat Ancestor 686: Chapter 683: Mountain Goat Ancestor Within a large mansion in the northern part of Pill King City, Xiang Mingzhi’s countenance was gloomy.

Naturally, he had heard about Huang Xiaolong being assessed at the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild Headquarters.

Standing beside Xiang Mingzhi was a middle-aged man, dressed in a light purple brocade robe with his hands casually clasped behind his back.

However, his imposing aura was vast, and the guards around him did not dare to breathe too loudly in his presence.

This middle-aged man was none other than Azure Dragon Mansion Master, Qin Yi.

Qin Yi spoke, “I never expected Huang Xiaolong’s talent in alchemy to be so monstrous.

To be able to refine the Holy Grade Formless Star Pill with the spiritual medicine materials provided during the assessment, without using a tripod furnace, he must possess the strength of a high-level Alchemy Grandmaster—it’s simply not possible otherwise.”

Xiang Mingzhi said with a dark tone, “I think the Alchemy Grandmaster Conference is exaggerating the facts because of Old Man Sheng Yue.

They are simply singing praises of Huang Xiaolong!

I refuse to believe that with less than thirty years of alchemy practice, he could reach the level of a high-level Alchemy Grandmaster!”

Indeed, it was hard for anyone to believe that someone with less than thirty years in alchemy could possess the level of a high-level Alchemy Grandmaster.

It was like someone claiming to have broken through to the Divine Level in less than two hundred years of cultivation.

Anyone who heard it would be disbelieving.

Yet Qin Yi’s eyes flickered, “Chen Ye, Lin Pinghai, and others from the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild unanimously decided to grant Huang Xiaolong the status of an elder within the Guild.

If Huang Xiaolong did not have the level of a high-level Alchemy Grandmaster, they wouldn’t have made a unanimous decision.”

At that moment, a tall and sturdy man beside Qin Yi spoke, “Even if that Huang Xiaolong does have the level of a high-level Alchemy Grandmaster, he won’t stand a chance in the Alchemy Grandmaster Competition.

Disciple brother has already fully merged with the Green Dragon Divine Fire.

Defeating Huang Xiaolong will be an effortless task.”

This tall and sturdy man was Qin Yi’s senior disciple, Zeng Chu.

Qin Yi nodded in agreement; he too shared his senior disciple’s view.

The Four Ancient Divine Fires were the strongest flames in the Star River, and the Green Dragon Divine Fire was the chief among the Four Great Divine Flames, possessing unbelievable power.

Xiang Mingzhi said coldly, “That’s good then.

Now that Huang Xiaolong has the status of an elder in the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild, it will be even more satisfying for me to defeat him during the competition.

Moreover, it will greatly add to my prestige!”

Like Xiang Mingzhi, many of the powerhouses from the Four Great Star Rivers, upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong had reached the level of a high-level Alchemy Grandmaster in less than thirty years, shook their heads in disbelief.

Some even sneered at the notion.

As for all the outside speculation, Huang Xiaolong was unaware.

After arriving at Chen Ye Mansion with Elder Sheng Yue and Shi Xiaofei, Huang Xiaolong stayed inside the Mansion, engaging in a mutual “exchange of views” on Alchemy Technique with Chen Ye.

Of course, the more they exchanged, the more shocked Chen Ye became.

Although Chen Ye was the President of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild, his alchemy level still fell short when compared to Elder Sheng Yue.

Huang Xiaolong’s alchemy level was no less than Elder Sheng Yue’s, and in some respects, even higher.

Naturally, Chen Ye’s surprise was understandable.

Originally, Chen Ye was somewhat incredulous about examiner Jia Liang’s claim that Huang Xiaolong could refine the Formless Star Pill without a tripod furnace, as he had not seen it himself.

However, after the exchange, he realized that Huang Xiaolong’s alchemy level was far beyond what he had imagined.

During the exchange, Shi Xiaofei watched and listened from the side, benefiting greatly.

As for Elder Sheng Yue, no one knew where he had gone, as he was nowhere to be seen all day.

Three days passed quickly.

The night was deep and everyone was at rest.

Huang Xiaolong stood in the courtyard, looking up at the night sky.

Shi Xiaofei walked in and came to Huang Xiaolong’s side.

She spoke softly, “The Alchemy Grandmaster Competition is tomorrow.

Are you thinking about Xiang Mingzhi obtaining the Green Dragon Divine Fire?”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head, “No.”

Although Xiang Mingzhi obtaining the Green Dragon Divine Fire posed a certain threat to Huang Xiaolong, it wasn’t something that Huang Xiaolong took to heart.

Just now, he was thinking about his parents on Earth in his past life.

He had been in this world for sixty or seventy years now, wondering how his parents from his previous life were doing.

If time had also passed by sixty or seventy years on Earth, his parents from his previous life would have likely already…?!

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t suppress the sorrow in his heart.

Shi Xiaofei sensed the sadness in Huang Xiaolong’s heart and couldn’t help but hold his hands while looking at him tenderly with her beautiful eyes, saying, “No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side.”

Huang Xiaolong returned the embrace with Shi Xiaofei, his heart filled with tenderness, and said, “After I win first place in the Ascending Gods Battle, I will marry you.”

Shi Xiaofei’s body trembled, her beautiful eyes red with tears.

The two embraced each other tightly.

The night passed without incident.

As the night gave way to daylight, the sun rose, shining brightly.

When Huang Xiaolong came out of the courtyard and arrived in the hall, he saw Elder Sheng Yue, Chen Ye, and Shi Xiaofei already seated.

Seeing Old Man Sheng Yue, who had disappeared for a few days, finally reappeared, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but say irritably, “Have you been soaking in the Pill King Tower these past few days?”

Elder Sheng Yue, however, chuckled and said, “How did you know?”

Huang Xiaolong was speechless.

As it turned out, the old man had indeed spent the last several days in the Pill King Tower.

But speaking of the Pill King Tower, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but crave the Pill King Wine.

He pondered staying in Pill King City for a few more days after the Alchemy Grandmaster competition, if for nothing else, then for the sake of the Pill King Wine.

Although the rules of the Pill King Tower stipulated that each person could only drink one jar and take away one jar, as long as one had money, they could visit every day.

At this moment, Chen Ye asked Elder Sheng Yue, “Master, the Alchemy Grandmaster contest will start in a little over an hour.

What do you think?”

Elder Sheng Yue nodded and said, “Good, let’s set off now!” After standing up, the four of them left the mansion and headed towards the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.

The Alchemy Grandmaster competition was held in the square in front of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild.

By the time Huang Xiaolong and the others arrived, the square was already a sea of people.

Lin Pinghai and the other Guild elders who had already arrived hurried over to greet Chen Ye and Elder Sheng Yue when they saw them approaching.

The bustling square quieted down considerably with the arrival of Elder Sheng Yue and Huang Xiaolong.

Almost everyone’s gaze turned towards them.

The crowd was dense, but Huang Xiaolong still spotted Xiang Mingzhi standing among them.

Their eyes met.

Xiang Mingzhi’s eyes were filled with hatred, murderous intent, resentment, and even disdain.

“I didn’t expect that old monster to show up as well,” Elder Sheng Yue muttered to himself at that moment.

Hearing Elder Sheng Yue’s murmur, Huang Xiaolong followed his gaze and saw a short, thin old man with a goat beard, wearing a somewhat nondescript outfit.

“Is that the Mountain Goat Ancestor?!” Chen Ye also saw the old man and exclaimed in surprise.

The Mountain Goat Ancestor?

Huang Xiaolong looked puzzled.

He did not know who the Mountain Goat Ancestor was or why Old Man Sheng Yue and Chen Ye attached so much importance to him.

Chen Ye then explained, “This Mountain Goat Ancestor is one of the strongest Demon Kings of the Demon Clan, a master listed on the Divine List.

His Alchemy Technique is extremely advanced.

I didn’t expect him to participate in this Alchemy Grandmaster competition!” (To be continued.
