A light flashed through Luo Yunshang's eyes. Despite the exhaustion on her face, she couldn't hide her excitement. She immediately formed a few hand seals on her fingertips, transforming them into streams of primordial fire that flew into the axe. Suddenly, a suction force was generated from the battle-ax, which swallowed the scattered golden dust.
For a moment, the bright red axe emitted a steady and heavy aura. It gave people a feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
"Condense!"
"Fall!"
Luo Yunshang called out twice. Two rays of light flew from her fingertips into the axe. Immediately, the burning sensation disappeared without a trace. The axe's body rapidly shrunk until it turned into a mini axe that fell into Luo Yun Shang's hand.
Luo Yunshang examined the axe in her hand and happily walked toward the men. She handed the axe to the white-bearded old man in the middle and said respectfully, "Grandmaster Xu, please take a look."
Xu Han glanced at the axe and smiled, "There's no need to look. This Sun Rumbling Axe has reached the level of a high rank one profound artifact. Yun Shang, you've passed the test. "
Clap clap clap clap clap!
The other men applauded as they looked at Luo Yunshang with a smile. Their eyes were filled with admiration.
Luo Yunshang was overjoyed. She couldn't contain her excitement, "Thank you, Grandmaster Xu, and the other grandmasters."
Xu Han shook his head and smiled, "It's all your hard work. It has nothing to do with us. I'm just curious how you managed to merge the brilliant gold into the scarlet refined copper. You failed the last few tests. "
The other men quieted down and looked at Luo Yunshang in confusion.
The image of Li Yunxiao's young face and elegant voice flashed through Luo Yunshang's mind.
"Scarlet refined copper may be metal, but it leans towards fire. Southern fire suppresses western metal, so brilliant gold is highly soluble. Hence, many arcane refiners preferred to use Brilliant Gold when upgrading Crimson Refined Copper Xuan Weapons. But if it contains Heaven Crystal Sand, it will be completely different. "
"Because the Heaven Crystal Sand's element is water, it can neutralize the Crimson Smelted Copper's fire element. So, the more of it there is, the weaker the Brilliant Gold's ability to dissolve."
"It's very simple. Treat the Heaven Crystal Sand as impurities and use the Quenching Essence to remove them."
"So that's how it is!" Xu Han suddenly understood. "It's actually this simple. Yun Shang, the fact that you were able to discover the secret behind it shows that you're very intelligent. Our Aquasky Nation has gained another true alchemist. I'll have someone report this to His Majesty tomorrow. I'm sure His Majesty will be very happy. When the time comes, we will hold another banquet to celebrate with the officials. "
Luo Yunshang blushed slightly, but she had expended too much of her soul power and vitality. Her cheeks were already covered in sweat, which made her look even more alluring. "I'll have to trouble Grandmaster Xu to inform His Majesty that we can forget about the banquet. I don't like to be too ostentatious."
Behind Xu Han, Yan Lei smiled. "This is a joyous occasion. How can we forget about holding a banquet? Yun Shang, you're the number one rising star in our Aquasky Nation. In just three short years, His Majesty has held two banquets for you. In the past few hundred years, only Lord Yang Di has had such an honor. "
In the Aquasky Nation, the king would hold a banquet and invite the important officials of the nation to celebrate as long as one became a rank one warrior-rank alchemist or a three-point Martial Grandmaster. At the same time, they would be conferred the title of marquis and minister.
When Luo Yunshang broke through to three-point Martial Grandmaster three years ago, she held a banquet once.
Hearing Yan Lei's words, Luo Yunshang hurriedly said, "Grandmaster Yan, you're too serious. If I can be compared to Lord Yang Di on Weibo …"
Xu Han stroked his beard and chuckled, "You don't have to be so modest. Although Lord Yang Di is a heaven-defying genius, he also benefited greatly from being a disciple of a ninth-tier Emperor-level alchemist, Lord Gu Feiyang. How fortunate is this! If you have the opportunity in the future, your achievements might not lose to Lord Yang Di. You lost because you didn't have a good teacher. "
Seeing that Luo Yunshang still wanted to argue, Xu Han waved his hand and smiled. "Our Alchemist Guild needs to celebrate today. This year, we've gained two warrior-rank alchemists. You and Jia Rong are the rising stars of our Aquasky Nation branch! "
Another alchemist, Su Yuanqiao, suddenly snorted. "President Xu, I would agree if Yun Shang is a rising star. As for Jia Rong, if I'm not wrong, he's already poisoned! "
Everyone was shocked, and their faces were filled with confusion. Xu Han's expression also changed slightly. "Su Yuanqiao, what do you mean?"
A strange look flashed through Luo Yunshang's eyes. She said, "Grandmaster Xu, I'll take my leave first." She was very smart. Seeing that Su Yuanqiao's expression was off, she knew that there must be some secret involved, so she took the initiative to leave.
Xu Han shook his head. "Now that you've passed the test, you're an official warrior-rank alchemist. In other words, you're a core member of our Alchemist Guild. You have the right to know anything about the guild. There's no need to avoid it. "
Su Yuanqiao swept his gaze across the crowd and sneered. "I've already found out that Jia Rong cheated during the last test. He used a forbidden item — Chilling Wind Stone!"
Everyone's expression changed drastically. They all looked at each other. They were all alchemists, so they naturally knew what Chilling Wind Stone was. Yan Lei said with a serious expression, "Su Yuanqiao, you can't say things like that! I know you've always disliked Jia Rong. You've made things difficult for him many times when he was still an apprentice, but some crimes can't be casually pinned on someone! "
Su Yuanqiao sneered. "I casually pinned on him? I'm afraid the poison has already seeped into his bones! I've sent people to investigate the materials he's bought since his promotion. They're all antidote items. He's even privately buying antidote pills at high prices. Everyone should know what the antidote pill is, right? It's rumored to be a level four alchemy pill that can cure hundreds of poisons. It's hard to find even with money! Hehe, five days ago, he started buying all kinds of poisonous materials. After hurrying back, he's been in seclusion since then. He must have been desperate and decided to use poison to fight poison. But how can the poison of Chilling Wind Stone be so easily cured? Even the antidote pill won't work. I'm guessing he's completely crippled by now! "
Xu Han's expression gradually turned ugly. Su Yuanqiao took out a list and handed it to everyone, saying, "This is a record of his actions after becoming an Arcane Alchemist. Everyone can take a look." Everyone skimmed through the list, their eyes filled with worry.
Finally, the list was passed to Luo Yunshang. Her heart trembled slightly. It even recorded Jia Rong's three meals a day. It seemed that Su Yuanqiao had been thinking about it for a long time. Since he jumped out at this time, he must be very confident. Jia Rong would probably not be able to escape!
"If anyone still has doubts, you can call Jia Rong over to take a look. He's been in the tower ever since he came back five days ago and hasn't taken a single step out! "Su Yuanqiao couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that most people believed him.
"Hmph, you know he's not in seclusion!" Yan Lei's eyes flashed with anger. He and Su Yuanqiao had always been at loggerheads.
Su Yuanqiao sneered. "Ever since Jia Rong became an alchemist, he gave up on martial cultivation and focused on the path of alchemy. An alchemist's cultivation is mainly to nourish their soul power. The only way to strengthen their soul power is through continuous refining. He's a level one warrior rank alchemist. Five days is more than enough for him to refine anything. Yan Lei, you're so protective of Jia Rong. Could it be that you're involved in his use of the Chilling Wind Stone? "
Yan Lei flew into a rage. "Nonsense!"
Xu Han said in a deep voice, "Stop arguing! Jiang Cheng, bring Jia Rong here. No matter what he's doing, he has to come! "
Xu Han was the president of the Aquasky Nation's Alchemist Association. He was also one of the only two third rank alchemists in the Aquasky Nation. His status was no lower than the king's. The other third rank alchemist was the palace's chief alchemist, Zhang Qingfan. Both of them were equally matched!
An alchemist wasn't just a symbol of strength. It was also a symbol of noble status. It was the pride of all alchemists! As the president of the Alchemist Association, he would never allow fraud to happen!
Everyone's expression turned serious. They seemed to realize that a small storm was coming!
Soon, Jia Rong followed Jiang Cheng to the fourth floor where the qualification test was held. After he bowed to Xu Han, he nodded to everyone else. When his gaze swept past Su Yuanqiao, an almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. In the end, his gaze landed on Luo Yunshang and he praised, "I just heard from Jiang Cheng that Lady Luo Yunshang has also become a rank one warrior level arcane refiner. She is truly a genius. Among the five commanders of the Guardian Divine Guard, Lady Yun Shang is the strongest! "
Luo Yunshang nodded, "Lord Jia is too kind. The other four commanders are far stronger than Yun Shang. I was just lucky."
Jia Rong smiled faintly and said loudly, "President Xu, I'm currently refining in seclusion. May I know why you've summoned me? Is it to celebrate Yun Shang's breakthrough? "
A trace of doubt flashed through Su Yuanqiao's eyes. According to his speculations, Jia Rong's complexion shouldn't be this good. He coldly snorted, "Hmph, Jia Rong, you sure know how to act. You're still pretending to be fine even at a time like this!"
Xu Han took out the list and threw it over. She stared at Jia Rong and said word by word, "Su Yuanqiao suspects that you used the Sinister Wind Stone during the last test. This is the result of his investigation on you. I need you to give everyone an explanation! "
Jia Rong coldly snorted. He took the list and looked at it. An indescribable anger immediately rose in his chest. This old bastard, he actually sent someone to investigate me! At the same time, he broke out in a cold sweat. Thank goodness young master Yun cured the poison in my body and taught me the art of soul refinement. Otherwise, my reputation would have been completely ruined!
At that moment, his gratitude towards Li Yunxiao gushed out like a fountain.
"Su Yuanqiao, you old bastard! You should be the one to give me an explanation! " He threw the paper heavily on the ground and said angrily, "President, everyone can check if I have used the Sinister Wind Stone or not. But if I haven't, I need Old Man Su to give me an explanation!"
Xu Han nodded, "I will. Now, stretch out your hands and completely withdraw your divine sense. We will thoroughly investigate your body."
Su Yuanqiao sneered, "Explanation? Let's see how you die once we find out what's wrong with you! "
Jia Rong suddenly smiled and proudly raised his head, "I, Jia Rong, will sit upright. You can investigate however you want. Come!" He shook his arcane refiner robe and stretched out his pure white hands.
