In the Medicine Palace's Judgement Hall!
Gu Haoran's lips curled into a gentle arc. His bright eyes looked at the three people in front of him. They were the legendary Supreme Middle Sovereigns of the Medicine Palace – the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace.
Gu Haoran's tone did not waver at all, "Three Elders, I've already said it many times. My name is Gu Haoran and I'm the current Senior Brother of the Ancient Court. I'm not that Xiao Ran who betrayed the Medicine Palace. "
"Hmm?" Elder Yan frowned. His eyes were filled with coldness, "Instructor Feng Ci of the Medicine Palace has reported to us that there are many suspicious points about you. It's very likely that you're related to that traitor Xiao Ran … How do you explain this?"
"Heh …" Gu Haoran smiled and cupped his hands towards Elder Yan. "Everything needs to be based on evidence. Instructor Feng Ci is only saying this because he's not willing to be defeated by a mere student like me in terms of momentum. Therefore, he deliberately said this in hopes of suppressing me. Elder Yan, you're a knowledgeable person. You won't be so easily blinded by Instructor Feng Ci's vengeful words."
"Moreover, I have also heard about Xiao Ran back then." After muttering to himself for a moment, Gu Haoran calmly looked into Elder Yan's eyes without the slightest bit of fear.
"It's already been five years since I entered the Ancient Court. Five years ago, when Xiao Ran escaped from the Medicine Palace, he was severely injured by the combined attacks of the three Elders from thousands of miles away. Even if he didn't die, he would be half crippled. How could he have passed the various tests and successfully entered the Ancient Court to study in that kind of situation? Disciple's records in the Ancient Academy for so many years have been recorded in detail. The three revered elders can go and check it out. "
"Oh?"
Elder Ice, who was sitting on the far right, had a cold glint on his beautiful face. "Although Feng Ci is crazy and often does some unimaginable things, his basic moral conduct as a teacher is still trustworthy. Since he suspects that you're related to Xiao Ran, we have no choice but to treat him seriously. "
"Hmph, I can guess what Instructor Feng Ci is thinking in his heart." Gu Haoran said slowly after a faint smile.
"Instructor Feng Ci must have wanted to send his new disciple to the ancient sect's sacred ground to prove his ability as a teacher after he suffered a setback. However, he was worried that his beloved disciples weren't capable enough. Perhaps he felt that I, who came from the ancient sect, was the biggest threat to his disciples. Therefore, he, who loved his disciples dearly, came up with this plan. He purposely slandered me as Xiao Ran, hoping that I would be affected and withdraw from the alchemist competition."
The three old men looked at each other. Lord Longevity snorted softly. "Although you seem to be full of righteousness and have no flaws, I advise you not to play any tricks in front of the three of us. Once we find out that there's something wrong with you … I guarantee that you'll die a horrible death!!! "
As Lord Longevity Immortal said those words, a biting cold killing intent appeared in the void in the blink of an eye.
A ripple flashed across the depths of Gu Haoran's calm eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure.
"Disciple doesn't dare." He bowed slightly. Although he felt Lord Longevity Immortal's cold killing intent, his face was still as calm and indifferent as before. "Disciple only knows how to be upright. Naturally, I'm not afraid of being slandered by outsiders."
"You may leave!"
Elder Yan waved his hand. Seeing Gu Haoran calmly bow to the three old men and turn around to leave, the three old men's expressions didn't relax at all. Instead, they became even more serious.
"Is it him?"
The air was silent for a moment. Elder Yan slowly opened his mouth. A rare look of exhaustion appeared in his eyes.
"Probably not. Feng Ci is a bit too biased towards his disciple. Once it comes to this, he will lose control of his emotions and might make a mistake in his judgment. "Elder Yan shook his head slightly.
"It's hard to say." Lord Longevity Immortal had a slightly surprised expression on his face. "When that incident happened back then, the three of us and that 'old man' weren't in the Medicine Palace. That's why that wicked disciple had the chance to take advantage of it. Therefore, we don't know who Xiao Ran is. Therefore, it's hard for us to make a judgment. However, although this kid is full of righteousness, I can faintly feel that he's hiding something. He has a very vague feeling of danger … "
"I feel the same way." Elder Yan nodded. "No matter what, this Gu Haoran is very suspicious. Let's keep a close eye on him."
"Don't worry! This year's Intermediate Alchemist Competition is very important. The three of us will pay close attention to the entire competition. Everything will be under our control. If anything unusual happens, we'll take action together and kill it in the cradle!! "
Lord Longevity Immortal waved his hand. His tone revealed a strong sense of confidence. The other two old men nodded when they heard this. The serious expressions on their faces also eased a little.
Two days later, in the Flame Land, a place filled with volcanoes.
Whoosh …
Red flames filled the sky. The heat waves burned the sky. Streaks of intense red flames spewed out from the mouth of a volcano, bringing out large amounts of red magma and rolling black smoke.
The entire space was filled with scorching heat and a strong smell of sulfur. It emitted an unparalleled hot and burning aura.
This was a volcano located in the depths of the Flame Land. It was about a hundred feet tall. It didn't seem very majestic among the endless volcanoes around it. It could only be considered a 'small volcano'.
However, what was surprising was that this small volcano was made up of sparkling and translucent 'Li Fire Crystals'. It was as gorgeous as a red crystal volcano.
The Li Fire Crystal was a kind of fire attribute crystal. Its value wasn't that rare. Generally, this kind of crystal could be more or less found in places with dense fire attribute spiritual energy.
However, although this kind of crystal wasn't very precious, a volcano made up of pure Li Fire Crystals was shocking enough.
Normally, the Li Fire Crystals in a huge volcano that was thousands of feet tall would only weigh a few thousand kilograms. It was formed after countless years of evolution and baptism.
This kind of Li Fire Crystal volcano that was a hundred feet tall and weighed a few million kilograms was simply an unimaginable miracle.
At this moment, the small volcano, which was not more than a hundred feet tall, was densely covered with mysterious talisman patterns.
