Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 111 - 111 111 Famous Again

111: Chapter 111: Famous Again 111: Chapter 111: Famous Again “Impossible, this is impossible!”

Zuo Qiuyu seemed to be going mad, utterly unable to accept this reality.

He had lost, and the loss was shameful.

“Zuo Qiuyu, you must abide by the bet.

Kneel down and bark like a dog three times!”

Long Yan looked at Zuo Qiuyu with amusement.

Leng Youlan slightly frowned, and spoke to Long Yan in a negotiating tone, “Long Yan, let’s put an end to this.”

Zuo Qiuyu’s status was extraordinary.

If he were to actually kneel and bark like a dog, even the entire Pill King Hall would be rocked.

Especially Luo Shenghe, who would presumably explode with rage.

“Impossible.”

Long Yan shook his head and said, “He agreed to the bet.

Zuo Qiuyu, one of the Three Major Geniuses of Pill King Hall, can’t take a loss?

If I had lost the pill battle, would he have shown me mercy?”

His tone was very firm.

He had made Luo Shenghe his enemy even before he joined the Pill King Hall.

He didn’t worry about owing too many debts.

He wouldn’t back down, not for today’s matter!

At this moment, Zuo Qiuyu’s face was extremely ugly.

As he thought about fulfilling the bet that was to follow, his expression became even more gloomy.

Up until now, he couldn’t understand how he had lost to Long Yan.

“Long Yan, leave room for a way out and we can meet with respect in the future.

Let’s put an end to today’s matter.

What do you say?”

If he really kneels and barks like a dog, not only would he lose his face, he would also make his master, Luo Shenghe, lose his face.

“Zuo Qiuyu, are you backing out now?”

Long Yan raised a faint smile and looked at him with contempt.

“You…”

Zuo Qiuyu felt like he was about to explode with anger.

He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, “Think this through carefully!”

“I have thought it through very clearly!”

Long Yan’s expression remained unchanged.

“Alright, you will regret this!”

Zuo Qiuyu’s face was terrifyingly gloomy, so much that it could almost drip water.

His hatred for Long Yan had seeped into his bone marrow; he had never hated a person so much in his life.

Thud!

To everyone’s shock, Zuo Qiuyu bent his knees and terribly humiliated, he knelt onto the ground.

His body was trembling and his fiery eyes that were fixed on Long Yan filled the surroundings with an icy murderous intent which seemed to drop the temperature.

Immediately, he bent forward, pressing his hands on the ground while clenching his fists, the veins throbbing visibly.

“Woof!”

Zuo Qiuyu gritted his teeth and barked like a dog.

“Woof!

Woof!”

Soon after, two more barks echoed from his mouth.

Whoa!

The crowd sharply inhaled a few breaths of cold air, their expressions beyond exaggeration.

“Malgobi!

I don’t say this lightly, but Brother Zuo’s barking is actually quite realistic.”

“Keep your damned voice down.

You may want to die, but I certainly don’t want to be buried with you.

Just keep some things to yourself.”

“Brother Zuo really knelt and barked like a dog.

It’s over, It’s definitely irreconcilable between him and Long Yan.

I fear there’s no place for Long Yan in the entire Pill King Hall.”

“Not necessarily.

Long Yan is an Alchemist too.

Judging by his looks, he’s at least a Third-grade Pill Refiner, maybe even a Fourth Rank Alchemist, and he integrated a Strange Fire and got the Purple Yang Cauldron, he’s likely to be accepted into the Dan Hall, where his status might not be lower than Brother Zuo’s.”

“That’s true, the guy is ruthless, who would dare provoke him in the future?”

The crowd whispered among themselves, their perception of Long Yan underwent a dramatic change.

Being able to make Zuo Qiuyu kneel and bark, Long Yan was definitely the first one.

“Long Yan, I challenge you to a life-and-death duel!”

Zuo Qiuyu suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing with fiery rage, the cold killing intent emanating from his eyes almost seemed tangible.

“Not interested!”

Long Yan simply smiled and outright rejected him.

Not only was Zuo Qiuyu a Fourth Rank Alchemist, but he was also a Heavenly Martial Realm artist.

Although Long Yan had the ability to kill Zuo Qiuyu, he did not want to expose his full strength.

In Pill King Hall, grievances were settled on the Life and Death Platform, but only if both parties willingly agreed.

“You…”

Zuo Qiuyu turned beet red with rage and hissed, “Long Yan, I will not let you off!”

“Do as you please.”

Long Yan left behind these words and walked away with Lingxi.

……

“What’s your plan?”

Within the Zhizhen Courtyard, Long Yan, Lingxi, and Leng Youlan were seated together.

Leng Youlan asked Long Yan.

“Plan for what?”

Long Yan raised an eyebrow, honestly clueless about what Leng Youlan meant.

“As an alchemist, you can join Dan Hall.

The disciples of Dan Hall have better resources.

If the Hall Master takes notice of you, even Luo Shenghe wouldn’t dare to mess with you.”

Leng Youlan’s meaning was clear, she was suggesting that Long Yan seek protection.

The only person who could restrain Luo Shenghe was the Hall Master.

“I came to Pill King Hall with the sole intention of entering the Tianyang Secret Realm to acquire what I need.

As for staying in the Martial Palace or the Dan Hall, it doesn’t matter to me.”

Long Yan chuckled.

He felt no sense of belonging towards the Pill King Hall.

“Are the Tianyang Spirit Fruits so important to you?”

Leng Youlan asked with a puzzled look at Long Yan.

“Of course.”

Long Yan nodded.

When he inquired about the Tianyang Secret Realm, he learned that there was a precious Spirit Fruit there, the Tianyang Spirit Fruits.

The Tianyang Secret Realm is an independent space.

In it grows a Spiritual Vine which bears the Tianyang Spirit Fruit every five years.

Due to this fruit, the realm was named the Tianyang Secret Realm.

The Tianyang Spirit Fruit is even more precious than the Pure Yang Fruit.

It can improve a Martial Artist’s physique and provide great nourishment for an Alchemist’s Pill Fire.

There are only ten Tianyang Spirit Fruits every five years.

Dan Hall would harvest seven when the fruits reach maturity.

The remaining three belonged to Martial Palace.

The top 20 artists on the Mountain and River List are allowed into the Tianyang Secret Realm.

However, only three of them could obtain the Tianyang Spirit Fruits.

“I know your strength.

Even seizing the first place on the Mountain and River List would not be a problem for you.

So, how about this?

You don’t have to challenge the Mountain and River List.

I will give you a spot.

In three days, you can directly enter the Tianyang Secret Realm,” said Leng Youlan.

She didn’t want Long Yan to join Dan Hall, nor did she want the Hall Master to discover him.

Once Long Yan acquired the Tianyang Spirit Fruits in the Tianyang Secret Realm, she planned to send him to the Leng Family.

Such a genius, the Leng Family must definitely keep him close at hand.

“They say it’s good to have protection from high places, and it’s indeed true.

Thanks a lot!”

Long Yan smiled faintly, pleased to receive a spot for nothing.

The Mountain and River List held no challenge for him.

After Leng Youlan left, Long Yan and Lingxi retired to their rooms to start cultivating.

At this time, the entire Pill King Hall was buzzing with the news of Long Yan’s pill refining contest with Zuo Qiuyu in the Fude Grand Hall.

The news that Zuo Qiuyu lost and was forced to kneel and bark like a dog spread like wildfire.

In less than half a day, the news reached every corner of the Pill King Hall.

The expressions of those who heard the news were beyond exaggerated.

First, he killed one of the direct disciples of Dan Hall and then won a pill refining contest against Zuo Qiuyu.

Each of these events alone would be considered a great sensation in the Pill King Hall.

What was more important was that Long Yan obtained the Purple Sun Cauldron and even fused with a Strange Fire.

Many people speculated that Long Yan might have received the Legacy of a senior from the Pill King Hall.

For a time, Long Yan’s fame skyrocketed, and he became the most talked-about figure in Pill King Hall.
