Early in the morning, the bell for the Genius Tournament woke Zhou Yang up from his meditation.
He did not go directly to the Martial Arts Hall. Instead, he found Cheng Qiaoqing and gave her an exquisite box. He asked her to deliver it to Lady Nine at the Lin Family.
Although Cheng Qiaoqing did not know the reason, she knew that it must be very important for Zhou Yang to ask her to do this early in the morning.
After arriving at the Lin Family, Lady Nine personally received her.
"Patriarch Lin, this is a gift from my Young Master." After speaking, Cheng Qiaoqing placed the box in front of Lady Nine.
Lady Nine did not open the box immediately. Instead, she asked, "What else did Zhou Yang ask you to say?"
"My Young Master said that he hopes that you will give me the Star Pill's materials." Cheng Qiaoqing suddenly felt a little timid. After all, Lady Nine was the Patriarch of the Lin Family. Such a request was somewhat bold.

Lady Nine frowned. "Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, my Lin Family has already paid a great price for you. I thought that you would understand us. Unfortunately …"
Lady Nine's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Cheng Qiaoqing knew that although Lady Nine seemed to be talking to herself, she was actually talking to her. She was probably going to refuse.
"Then, goodbye." Cheng Qiaoqing said apologetically. She turned around and walked out after saying that.
At the same time, Lady Nine opened the box.
The moment she opened it, she immediately stood up and said, "Wait a minute."
"Is there anything else?" Cheng Qiaoqing asked doubtfully.
"Are you sure that this is a gift from your Young Master?" Lady Nine asked in shock.
"Yes, he gave it to me early in the morning."
"Wait a minute. I will immediately get someone to give you the materials. Also, help me tell him that my Lin Family will fully support him," Lady Nine said solemnly.
Cheng Qiaoqing nodded blankly. She did not react until she took a large box of materials and left. "Why did you suddenly agree?"
After Cheng Qiaoqing left, Lin Wanqing looked at Lady Nine doubtfully.
Lady Nine looked a little excited as she said, "I thought that he would give me some jewelry to please me and ask me to support him. However, I underestimated him."
"Isn't it?"
Lin Wanqing frowned. She also felt that Zhou Yang's gift was to curry favor with Lady Jiu. After all, with Zhou Yang's situation, it was normal for him to curry favor with Lady Jiu, even though he didn't like giving gifts through the back door.
"Of course not."
Lady Jiu opened the box and placed it in front of Lin Wanqing.
Inside the box was a starlight colored pill with three patterns.
"This is …"
"Judging from the color of the pill, it seems to have just been concocted. There's even a hint of Zhou Yang's aura on it. He's giving us a chance …"
"He made it!"
Lin Wanqing was dumbfounded.
At the same time, Zhou Yang had already walked down the Rising Sun Platform.
Although it was already the fifth day, there was still no movement from Maple City and Rising Sun City. He guessed that the geniuses of these two cities were waiting for him to clash with Murong Zhenjie, trying to kill him with a borrowed knife.
However, this was exactly what he wanted.
Under everyone's amazed gazes, he left the Rising Sun Platform and went to the Pill Platform.
Today, there were more people on the Pill Platform than yesterday. In addition to the people who had been following behind him to watch the fun, the number of onlookers on the Pill Platform had exceeded any of the six platforms.
"Zhou Yang is here …"
As soon as he arrived, there was an uproar below the platform. Many people looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
These people were undoubtedly disciples of the Alchemy Guild. It was undeniable that Murong Zhenjie was in a high position and had many subordinates over the years. At the same time, others were also afraid of him because of his identity as the Young Master of the Alchemy Guild. There were very few people who dared to stand on his side.
"Zhou Yang, you're finally here. I, Mu Lin, challenge you!"
A young man flew onto the platform.
"You want to challenge me?" Zhou Yang frowned. He glanced at the audience and saw Murong Zhenjie looking at him playfully.
Another subordinate of Murong Zhenjie.
"What, you don't dare?" Mu Lin sneered.
Zhou Yang smiled faintly and walked onto the platform.
"I, Mu Lin, am a Primary Alchemist. Half a year ago, I mastered the refining method of Star Pills. I am on par with Senior Brother Gao Sheng. Originally, I wholeheartedly accepted Senior Brother Gao Sheng as the fifth disciple. But you, what qualifications do you have to dare to sit on the position of the fifth disciple?" Mu Lin said coldly.
Zhou Yang was too lazy to pay attention to Mu Lin. Instead, he looked at the Deacon and said, "I also want to challenge."
"You want to challenge?" The Deacon frowned. He didn't know what was going on.
"Zhou Yang, did you hear what I said? I am challenging you. Quickly take out your alchemy furnace. You and I will compete," Mu Lin shouted.
"If you want to challenge me, break my record first." Zhou Yang glanced at Mu Lin and said.
"Humph, you were lucky to set a record once in a while. I suspect that you might have cheated yesterday. Unless you can reach yesterday's level, don't even think about sitting on the fifth disciple stably," Mu Lin shouted.
"You want me to refine pills? Sure, but I won't compete with you."
After speaking, Zhou Yang suddenly pointed at the first disciple and said, "I, challenge him."
Swish …
For a moment, the audience was in an uproar.
"Is this guy crazy? He actually wants to challenge Song Zihao, whose strength is second only to Young Master Murong. That is the person who broke the record for refining a Two-Mark Star Pill."
"Maybe he can also refine a Two-Mark Star Pill?"
"How is that possible? If he could refine it yesterday, why did he have to wait until today? Obviously, he didn't know how to refine it yesterday."
"You mean to say that he reached Two-Mark in one night? That's just a pipe dream."
Everyone was talking about it. No one believed that Zhou Yang could reach Two-Mark from One-Mark in one night.
"Go and call Junior Brother Song. Let Junior Brother Song teach him a lesson." Murong Zhenjie said with a smile.
A disciple immediately left. A moment later, a person with a cold and sharp gaze walked in.
Song Zihao.
Zhou Yang had also heard of this person's name. He was Murong Zhenjie's Junior Brother and also the second disciple of the Elixir Alliance's Right Elder, Yu Ding. It was said that he was a cruel person and often let ordinary people test pills for him. Dozens of ordinary people died in his hands.
"Senior Brother." Song Zihao saw Murong Zhenjie and cupped his hands.
"Junior Brother Song, Zhou Yang wants to challenge you. What are you going to do?" Murong Zhenjie said with a smile.
Song Zihao's expression was indifferent. He didn't even look at Zhou Yang and said, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
"Speak." Murong Zhenjie said indifferently.
"Senior Brother, as alchemists, especially genius alchemists, we should study alchemy and not waste our time on idle people. It is impossible for us to accept any random person's challenge. If he wants to challenge us, he can refine it himself. I don't have time to play house with him."
