CHAPTER 89
An alchemy scammer?
The Pill Tower had Spirit Rank and even Grandmaster Rank Alchemists. Grandmaster Rank Alchemists were actually King Rank Alchemists.
However, being able to reach the King level was enough to make an empire revere an alchemist in this era of declining alchemy. Moreover, the Pill Tower's influence was spread throughout the various empires. They were mysterious and unfathomable.
Bang!
On the sixth floor of the Pill Pagoda, the sound of an explosion came from a pill room. Then, a young girl in a loose robe walked out. Although she was covered in dust, one could still see her beautiful face.
"Yiyi, you haven't refined it yet? Do you really think that the Crack Pill you spoke of really exist? Have you been deceived by someone … "A handsome man asked with a frown.
Ever since Liu Yiyi returned from Iron Mountain Village, she had been staying in the pill room for more than half a month. It was said that she was refining pills with cracks, and it was the simplest Qi Gathering Pill!
This made Cheng Qi very speechless, especially when he saw the pill furnace explode again and again. He was even more certain that Liu Yiyi had been deceived by the 'Little Master' she had mentioned.
But even though he had such thoughts, there was nothing he could do. Because even Alchemist Xu, a Spirit Rank Alchemist, had actually asked him to pay attention to a fellow named Long Chen before he left. Moreover, he had repeatedly instructed him that if this person came, he should directly recommend him to the Guild President …
This made Cheng Qi feel very helpless. On one hand, he felt that Elder Xu and Liu Yiyi were exaggerating and even deceived. On the other hand, he wanted to see who this so-called Long Chen was.
…
Cheng Qi looked at Liu Yiyi, who completely ignored him and stepped into the Pill Room as if she was possessed. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. His father had asked him to come and bond with Liu Yiyi, but ever since Liu Yiyi returned, the two of them hadn't even spoken a word.
Just as Cheng Qi was about to turn and leave, an attendant walked over and said, "Young Master Cheng, it's good that you're here. There's a person named Long Chen downstairs looking for Alchemist Xu. Previously, Alchemist Xu had specially instructed that if this person came, he could be brought directly to the seventh floor of the Pill Pagoda to wait for the President … But, but he's only sixteen years old, and he's only a junior student of the Imperial School."
Cheng Qi's footsteps paused. When he heard the two words' Long Chen ', he couldn't help but frown. His voice became a little heavy as he said, "Sixteen years old, elementary student … Pill Tower's seventh level?"
Even the attendant couldn't help but smile bitterly. The seventh floor of the Pill Pagoda required an alchemist who was at least at the sixth grade of the Spirit Rank. Even for those outside of the Pill Pagoda, those who could enter the seventh floor of the Pill Pagoda were all people of extremely high status. Even in the entire Imperial Capital, there were probably less than a hundred people who could enter the seventh floor and above.
"Did Alchemist Xu stay in that remote place for too long and become muddle-headed? He was actually fooled by a sixteen-year-old boy. Even Yiyi was bewitched and kept saying that the Qi-gathering Pills he refined in the past were all wrong …"
Cheng Qi said coldly. He flicked his sleeves and was about to walk down to the next floor. The attendant smiled bitterly. Perhaps only Cheng Qi would dare to say that Alchemist Xu was muddle-headed. Apart from Liu Yiyi, this Cheng Qi could be considered the number one person in the younger generation of the Pill Tower.
His father was the second-in-command of the Pill Tower, the King Rank Alchemist Cheng Kai. His status was second only to Liu Yiyi's father.
When Cheng Qi walked down the stairs, he couldn't believe that the person Alchemist Xu and Liu Yiyi were praising was actually just a teenager.
Moreover, before Alchemist Xu left, he repeatedly told him to introduce Long Chen to the Guild President. This was simply too ridiculous …
Cheng Qi arrived at the first floor of the Pill Pagoda with a gloomy expression and saw Long Chen from afar.
"Sir, do you know Alchemist Xu?" Cheng Qi asked in a deep voice.
Long Chen glanced to the side and frowned slightly. He could feel the hostility from Cheng Qi and replied, "Of course I know him. I wonder if you can inform him?"
Cheng Qi's gaze constantly swept over Long Chen. In the end, he sneered and said, "Alchemist Xu has already returned to the regional branch. If you need anything, I can help you!"
Hearing that Xu Lao wasn't in the Pill Pagoda, Long Chen wasn't surprised. After all, Xu Lao wasn't an alchemist from the Imperial City. After a moment of silence, Long Chen asked, "Then please help me pass a message to Liu Yiyi. Tell her that I'm here …"
Pass a message to Liu Yiyi?
Long Chen's words completely enraged Cheng Qi.
"Who do you think you are? Pass a message to Yiyi … Do you really think you're some big shot? You're just a junior student. How dare you be so presumptuous in the Pill Pagoda! "
Cheng Qi's shout attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
Long Chen looked deeply at Cheng Qi. He thought to himself that no one would be able to find him today. He could only spend more time looking for him.
Then, he didn't say anything else. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Cheng Qi. He turned around and walked toward the higher levels of the Pill Pagoda.
Cheng Qi was stunned. He originally thought that Long Chen would confront him verbally or even attack him. He would then be able to humiliate Long Chen. However, he didn't expect that he would be directly ignored …
His talent in alchemy was second only to Liu Yiyi in the Pill Pagoda. Moreover, he had the support of his father. Who wouldn't be respectful to him?
For a moment, Cheng Qi just snorted coldly and directly attacked.
"Stop him!" Cheng Qi's face was as cold as ice. His whole face was gloomy.
Seeing the city council members around him, Long Chen's face also darkened. He said coldly, "The Pill Pagoda doesn't seem to have a rule that no one can enter. Are you looking for trouble …"
The first three levels of the Pill Pagoda were completely open to the public. Therefore, Long Chen's words weren't inappropriate. Instead, it was Cheng Qi's obstruction that attracted everyone's attention.
Cheng Qi saw that more and more people were following behind them. His face turned ugly. He secretly thought that he had been blinded by Long Chen. Although he wasn't afraid of this situation, it would have an extremely bad impact on the Pill Pagoda's reputation.
After thinking for a moment, he said sternly, "Fine, since you want to see Yiyi, I'll take you there. I want to expose you in front of Yiyi. Whether you can walk out of the Pill Pagoda in one piece will depend on your luck!"
Expose?
Long Chen didn't comment. He didn't know what Cheng Qi meant. However, since he could find Liu Yiyi, with her status, it would be much easier for him to find the spiritual herbs to refine the Grade 9 Spirit Tempering Pill.
As for money, Long Chen didn't care. The Imperial School's points could be used in the Pill Pagoda. It was equivalent to the common currency of the Pill Pagoda and the Imperial School.
Under the lead of Cheng Qi and the others, Long Chen arrived at the sixth level of the Pill Pagoda. Just as they arrived, a loud explosion came from the pill room in front of them!
Another pill exploded …
Long Chen frowned. He saw the stone door of the pill room in front of him slowly open. Black smoke billowed out.
A beautiful figure wearing a slightly large robe walked out with her nose wrinkled. Long Chen recognized Liu Yiyi at first glance due to her tall and straight figure and beautiful face.
However, she … was really in a sorry state!
"Failed again! How could this be … "Liu Yiyi muttered to herself as if she was possessed.
