A Good Romance

Lin Yuqi and Han Xinyan completely believed in Ling Han's ability to appraise medicinal ingredients, so they didn't test Ling Han further. Instead, they began to explain the details of the clan competition to him so that he could prepare.
Just like Lin Yuqi's previous test, the clan competition was probably like this as well.
Every participant had to go through four tests, which were respectively identifying medicinal ingredients, combining medicinal ingredients, identifying medicinal ingredients, and finally pill refinement.
The four tests would all be graded according to the results, but the proportion of each test was different. For example, the first test only had 10% of the score, while the pill refinement test had 50%. Thus, the most important test was still the level of pill refinement.
This was also the key to becoming an alchemist — their most fundamental ability.
The carriage sped, and 13 days later, they arrived at Azure Rain City. This was the headquarters of the Treasure Forest Pavilion, and the ancestral grounds of the Lin, Shi, Han, and Huang Clans were all located in this city. However, the Treasure Forest Pavilion was famous for its alchemy prowess, and it gave others the impression that it was rich and powerful.
In reality, however, the Treasure Forest Pavilion's Martial Art wasn't weak, and the four clans all had Eternal River Tier elites. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to protect such a massive amount of wealth.
However, the exact number of Eternal River Tier elites in the four clans, and how high they had reached, was a secret.
On the surface, there were only 20 or so Eternal River Tier elites on the Cloud Apex Planet. However, as Ling Han learned more and more, he became convinced that this was definitely not the true number. Rather, it was far too few.
20 or so elites at the consummate level of the Eternal River Tier were more like it.
Azure Rain City was the holy land of alchemy, and carts of alchemical pills would be transported from here to various cities of the two Imperial Empires every day. Of course, Azure Rain City wasn't far from the Blue Cloud Imperial Empire, and the Treasure Forest Pavilion had established their headquarters here because of this convenience.
Almost every clan here did alchemy-related business. Even if they weren't alchemists, they could be medicine farmers or medicine collectors. This formed a complete and massive industry chain.
The Treasure Forest Pavilion had a history of over one billion years on the Cloud Apex Planet. During this time, they had even experienced the destruction of one Imperial Empire and the rise of another. However, they weren't affected in the slightest, and they were still earning large amounts of True Origin Stones.
After all, no matter who was in charge, cultivation was inseparable from medicinal pills. Moreover, it was rumored that the rise of the Great Crimson Sun Imperial Empire was also supported by the Treasure Forest Pavilion. The Treasure Forest Pavilion had provided them with a large sum of True Origin Stones. Otherwise, the old imperial empire might not have collapsed so suddenly.
After so many years of development, the Four Great Clans had produced huge branches. Furthermore, after several powerful branches had usurped the main branch, the Four Great Clans no longer had a main branch. Whichever branch was stronger would have the right to speak. Life was full of ups and downs.
Right now, the person in charge of the Lin Family was the Northern Sand Branch. He had been in this position for more than nine million years. This was because the Northern Sand Branch had a Level 16 alchemist who could suppress the other 99 branches.
Lin Yuqi belonged to the Anyuan Branch, which was one of the weakest branches of the Lin Clan. The strongest alchemist in the Anyuan Branch was only Level 13, and his cultivation level had just advanced into the Eternal River Tier.
Thus, a prodigy like Lin Yuqi had long since grasped a considerable amount of right to speak. Previously, she had gone to Big Trade City to search for reinforcements. She hoped to obtain a good ranking in this competition and send more clansmen into the ancient mystery realm.
This was a great opportunity that could change the fate of an entire clan. Otherwise, if the Anyuan Branch continued to decline like this, it would one day be eliminated from the Lin Clan.
In fact, there were more than 100 branches of the Lin Clan. However, only the strongest 100 branches had the right to leave their names in the Lin Clan. Meanwhile, the weaker branches would be eliminated by the stronger ones. This was an unchanging rule.
Because the Anyuan Branch wasn't powerful, even the places that Ling Han and the others lived in were a little shabby, old, and small. They weren't like the top few branches, where any random courtyard was larger than the three of them.
Moreover, the other branches all had 10 participants. This was the upper limit, but there was no lower limit. However, the Anyuan Branch only had two participants, Ling Han and Han Xinyan. It was clear how poor this branch was.
Most importantly, the two of them were reinforcements. There wasn't even a single participant from the Anyuan Branch.
Lin Yuqi could also be considered a prodigy, but most of her talent was in Martial Art. Although she was also extraordinary in identifying medicinal ingredients, she wasn't good at alchemy. However, alchemy was the most important thing in the competition. If one didn't know how to refine pills, it was destined that they wouldn't be able to obtain a good result.
After settling down, Ling Han immediately entered into the Black Tower. Right now, he was extremely interested in grasping the special characteristics of medicinal ingredients.
Peng!
There was a loud sound, and the doors of the courtyard they lived in were kicked open. A group of five people appeared. One of them was a middle-aged man. He was tall and sturdy, and didn't care about his appearance. His upper body was bare, and the black hair on his chest fluttered in the wind. It was a little too exuberant.
Behind him were four youths, three men and one woman. All of them were brimming with arrogance, as if they were proud sons and daughters of the heavens.
Lin Yuqi and Han Xinyan were chatting in the living room, and they immediately leaped out when they heard the commotion. When the doors were kicked open, they couldn't help but grimace.
"Lin Feng, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yuqi shouted at the middle-aged man. Her seductive eyes swept over his thick chest hair, and a look of disgust involuntarily appeared on her face.
These five people were naturally members of the Lin Clan. They belonged to the Hengyun Branch, and they were powerful enough to rank in the top 10 of the 100 branches. The middle-aged man was called Lin Feng, and he was the guardian of the Hengyun Branch. He was at the medium extreme of the Heavenly Body Tier.
Lin Feng stared at Lin Yuqi's voluptuous chest with a greedy look in his eyes. He had once visited the Anyuan Branch a few thousand years ago, and he had met Lin Yuqi by chance. At that time, his heart had been moved by this seductive beauty.
He had proposed to her, but Lin Yuqi wasn't interested in him. Moreover, he was afraid that she was in the main branch of the Anyuan Branch, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
However, he had led a team to participate in the clan tournament this time, and when he found out that Lin Yuqi had also come here, he couldn't help but run over.
"Yuqi, your Anyuan Branch is destined to decline," Lin Feng said with a serious expression. "Why do you want to stay with that clan that has no future? Why don't you and I get married? Our Hengyun Branch is one of the top 10 branches, and we have countless cultivation resources. You should know that this is the best choice."
However, it was a pity that as he said this, his perverted eyes swept over Lin Yuqi's face, chest, and thighs incessantly. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a pervert.
"Even if my Anyuan Branch declines, it has nothing to do with you," Lin Yuqi said in annoyance. She pointed at the doors, and said, "Scram!"
"Heh, why do you have to do this?" Lin Feng was extremely thick-skinned. Lin Yuqi had rejected him before, so he naturally didn't expect her to accept him this time. "There are still three days before the tournament. Why don't we let these kids warm up and spar?"
He chuckled coldly in his mind. This time, he had come to deal a heavy blow to Lin Yuqi.
