There were dozens of people in the courtyard, most of them in the Nebula and Star Domain stages.
After Lin Zhen came in, very few people responded to Ge Yunjie's words. Most of them were still looking at Lin Zhen with cold eyes.
Ge Yunjie was a little embarrassed. "What's wrong? Don't you know Lin Zhen? Everyone here is here for the Divine Gate challenge. Everyone should know about the battle between Lin Zhen and Ke Xianglong 700 years ago. In fact, Lin Zhen should have been the first person in the Black Hole stage. "
At this time, a voice said, "A real man doesn't boast about his past achievements. Ge Yunjie, you said that was in the past. It's not 700 years ago now."
"Huang Yong, what do you mean?" Ge Yunjie looked at the person who spoke. It was a thin man, but he looked very capable.
"Simple. Since you're from the New Territories, you're welcome to join our New Territories Fellow Townsmen's Association. However, don't talk about being the first person. That's all in the past. People have to face reality."
"That's right!"
Ge Yunjie was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Lin Zhen.
Walking up to the table, Lin Zhen automatically found a seat beside Ge Yunjie and sat down.
"Brother Huang Yong is right. What's in the past is in the past. I'm just an ordinary Nebula stage warrior here. I've never thought about being the first person. After all, that person isn't me."
Ge Yunjie didn't look very good. He had asked Lin Zhen to come over, but he didn't expect these New Territories Fellow Townsmen to not give him any face. This made him feel a little embarrassed.
Huang Yong had a smug look on his face. In his opinion, he had successfully taken Lin Zhen down a notch.
However, Lin Zhen changed the topic. "Although the past has become history, I'm still the same person. I, Lin Zhen, had the ability to take first place back then. I won't be scared just because seven hundred years have passed. If anyone doesn't take me seriously and tries to provoke me, I'll definitely make them regret saying those words!"
Huang Yong's expression changed. He thought that Lin Zhen had fallen, so he mocked him. He didn't expect Lin Zhen to be so arrogant.
Just as he was about to flare up, the man on the main seat spoke.
"All right, all right! We are all from the New Territories and belong to the weakest group in the Primordial Realm. Let's not argue among ourselves. Give me some face and let this matter pass. "
The man who spoke was at the pinnacle of Level 9 Star Sector-level. There were many such people in the Primordial Realm. In fact, within each realm, the highest number was not Level 1, but Level 9.
This was because, with the passage of time, everyone would be able to cultivate to Level 9 if there were no accidents. However, it wasn't so easy to advance to a higher realm. Most ancient martial art practitioners were stuck at Level 9.
Huang Yong glanced at the man who spoke and sat down resentfully. However, he still snorted. "President, I admire you, but you'd better not side with this guy. This is the Primordial Realm. It's not the same as before!"
No one was surprised by his words. Even the president himself wasn't angry. Instead, he faced Lin Zhen. "Lin Zhen, we all know you. You are a genius martial art practitioner. I believe that you won't waste your time just because of 700 years of delay. The New Territories Fellow Townsmen of Mu Wang Province will welcome your arrival."
At this time, Ge Yunjie also said to Lin Zhen, "This is our president, Xu Xingyao. He is the first New Territories martial art practitioner below the World King level to come to Mu Wang Province. He is also the one who established the New Territories Fellow Townsmen Association. You should know that even World King masters have a place in the Primordial Realm. Only people like us need to help each other in order to gain a foothold."
"Thank you, President Xu! Thank you for establishing the Fellow Townsmen Association and giving us newcomers a place to stay. " Lin Zhen bowed to Xu Xingyao. Although this president looked a little cowardly and seemed like a good person, he was worthy of Lin Zhen's respect for being able to establish the Fellow Townsmen Association.
"Haha, I don't have much ability. I just came here a little earlier. When I came to the Heavenly Gates, I was already a level-9 Domain King. After 900 years, I am still a level-9 Domain King. I don't have much future prospects. Whether the Fellow Townsmen Association can flourish in the future will depend on you youngsters."
It was very accurate for a martial art practitioner to judge their age based on their bone age. This Xu Xingyao looked to be at least 4000 years old. It was not wrong to call him Lin Zhen and the rest young people.
At this time, Ge Yunjie said, "President, you have spent all your energy on alchemy research and have delayed your cultivation. Otherwise, I believe that you would have been able to advance to the World King level."
"Sigh! If I don't research alchemy, I'm afraid that our Fellow Townsmen Association won't even have the money to establish a foothold in the Primordial Realm. I don't have any extravagant hopes of becoming a World King. I am already 4,900 years old this year, and the lifespan of a Domain King is only 5,000 years. I just want to leave behind some wealth for you guys before my time is up so that the Fellow Townsmen Association can continue. Then, I will be able to close my eyes. "
Many of the martial art practitioners present were moved. They all tried to persuade the president that he would definitely be able to make a breakthrough at the last moment and successfully advance to the World King level.
Lin Zhen even saw that some people's eyes were moist. It was obvious that the president was very popular.
A 4,900 years old Domain King was an old Domain King with one foot in the grave. He could die at any time.
However, Lin Zhen still admired the president's moral character. As a newcomer, he especially toasted Xu Xingyao.
After drinking two cups, Xu Xingyao stood up and left.
"You youngsters can continue. I still have to go to the Temple of Longevity to pay my respects tomorrow. I won't be going crazy with you guys."
Everyone stood up to send Xu Xingyao off.
After Ge Yunjie sat down, he said to Lin Zhen, "Ai, the president is such a good person. I really hope that he can break through to the World King level and extend his lifespan by another 5000 years. Unfortunately … his lifespan is almost up. It seems that he only has a few years left. Breaking through is too difficult."
"The president is researching alchemy?"
"Yes, the president is also an alchemist. You might not know this, but he started practicing alchemy in the New Territories. I don't know where he obtained some Primordial Realm pill recipes, but he started researching them in the New Territories. Although he didn't make any progress in the Primordial Realm, his alchemy research has become very impressive. He is now a peak fourth-grade alchemist."
"Peak fourth-grade?" Lin Zhen still didn't understand.
"You don't understand. Alchemists are divided into seven grades, from one to seven. The higher the grade, the more powerful they are. Let me put it this way. A World King isn't worth much in the Primordial Realm, but a fourth-grade alchemist is worth as much as a World King in the eyes of those big shots. If you advance to the fifth grade, then you can kill a World King just by asking any big shot.
Isn't that amazing? "Lin Zhen nodded silently. He didn't realize that alchemists were worth so much.
"If you can become a sixth-grade alchemist, then even if you want to die, it will be difficult. The value of a sixth-grade alchemist is comparable to a Longevity Realm great god!"
Lin Zhen was even more shocked. If a sixth-grade alchemist was comparable to a Longevity Realm great god, then what about a seventh-grade alchemist?
Ge Yunjie continued, "We don't have much ability. When we came to the Primordial Realm, we were all ambitious. But when we came here, we realized that the people of the New Territories are nothing more than ants here. Not to mention grand ambitions, even feeding ourselves is a problem. If it weren't for the support of the president's alchemy, I'm afraid that more than half of us would have to beg for food on the streets."
"Only a good-for-nothing like you will beg for food. I will never have such a day!"
At this time, Huang Yong passed by them and directly refuted Ge Yunjie.
Ge Yunjie frowned slightly. When he was about to move, Lin Zhen pulled him back.
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Huang Yong snorted proudly and said to Lin Zhen, "Kid, I'll say it again. This is the New Territories, and you're no longer the Lin Zhen of the past. You better keep your eyes open!"
After saying that, he swaggered away with a few of his underlings.
"Brother Ge, don't be impulsive. It's not worth it to deal with this kind of person."
Ge Yunjie spat in the direction that Huang Yong left. "Who does he think he is? If it weren't for a few Star Domain Stage powerhouses mysteriously disappearing, would this guy even have a chance to take the position? Now he's the number one expert below the president. He's too arrogant. "
Hearing Ge Yunjie's words, Lin Zhen looked at Huang Yong's back thoughtfully.
*****
Under the dual stimulation of the Empty Mountain Spirit Spring and the planet's Heart of Vegetation, the herbs on the Dark Star grew rapidly.
After half a month, the first batch of herbs had matured.
Lin Zhen sowed some of the seeds again, forming a virtuous cycle. Then, he picked some of the herbs and prepared to try alchemy.
He held a book in his hand called Essentials of Alchemy.
This was bought in the Dimensional Universe. It was a common commodity and only cost a few hundred yuan.
Lin Zhen couldn't afford it if it was too expensive. Out of 10,000 yuan, he only had 1000 yuan left. If the alchemy failed, he might have to move out of the hotel and sleep on the streets.
In the past few days, Lin Zhen had flipped through this Essentials of Alchemy until it was almost rotten. He had long since memorized the contents.
Lin Zhen took out a simple alchemy furnace. This was something he had bought online and made himself. It could be said to be the worst alchemy furnace in history.
However, Lin Zhen also had an advantage. That was his deep cyan flame. This was the most crucial aspect of alchemy.
Lin Zhen's flame was a combination of the power of a Phoenix and a Qilin. It was also obtained through a series of lucky coincidences.
Even for a World King level alchemist, there were very few who possessed such formidable firepower as Lin Zhen.
"This is my first time refining the Essence Gathering Powder. I hope it will be successful."
Lin Zhen prepared all the herbs he needed and then took out some other materials.
"Pill Stone Powder. This is the foundation of alchemy. I only have a small amount here. It can only be used twice."
"Pill Congealing Agent. This is also a basic material, but it has slight side effects."
"These two things, together with my herbs, can be used to refine the Essence Gathering Powder."
Lin Zhen had experience in refining equipment. After looking at the Essentials of Alchemy, he felt that he was ready to give it a try. He immediately began to work.
The alchemy furnace he made was set up. Lin Zhen first heated up the alchemy furnace.
A deep cyan flame was sent out, burning fiercely within the alchemy furnace.
When the temperature within the alchemy furnace was high enough, Lin Zhen threw in the herbs he had prepared.
Increase the flame!
Kacha ~!
A crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the alchemy furnace. Then, the flame spread along the crack. The metal alchemy furnace actually showed signs of melting!
Lin Zhen hurriedly withdrew the flame. Looking at the alchemy furnace he had modified, it was completely ruined.
