In any case, the name of the mysterious alchemist spread like wildfire in Emerald City. Everyone was talking about him with fear and curiosity, and the unfortunate alchemist's condition immediately became a hot topic of discussion. From one to ten, from ten to a hundred, his symptoms were infinitely exaggerated.
However, Ye Chong was not aware of this. He was still immersed in his research. To him, it was just a small interlude.
However, the truth was vastly different from the various versions of the rumors.
That day, the young alchemist suddenly challenged Ye Chong. His actions were subtle, and he used a colorless and odorless hallucinogen. His motive was simple - he wanted to see if the mysterious alchemist was as strong as the rumors said.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Ye Chong's counterattack!
With the smoke pearl, Ye Chong was unharmed. However, he immediately sensed the attack. In a split second, he locked on to the young man who was loitering outside the house. Without hesitation, Ye Chong's counterattack was swift and fierce, giving the young man no time to react.
He also used a colorless and odorless hallucinogen, but it was much more diffusive than the average alchemy reagent. By the time the young man realized it, it was already too late. The hallucinogen would damage his blood circulation, but it was not fatal. Considering his identity, Ye Chong did not use a lethal alchemy reagent this time. He did not want to draw attention to himself.
However, he had underestimated the power of this reagent called Blood Elixir. More importantly, the symptoms it caused were no less frightening than death. According to the A.I. Chip's records, Blood Refinement was a reagent used by a remote tribe to punish traitors within the tribe. It was unknown how Lunatic Guan got her hands on the formula, but after some modifications, its ability to disperse in the air had greatly increased, and its power had also greatly increased.
In the alchemy world, attacking others was a taboo. Fights between alchemists were more dangerous. Because of this, they would be more cautious when probing each other, unlike in the combat world.
This was clearly written in Lunatic Guan's chip. Ye Chong had always trusted the contents of Lunatic Guan's chip. In fact, every person with rich combat experience would usually not take the initiative to attack others unless they were in danger. However, when they truly confirmed that they were in danger, their counterattack would be swift and fierce, often fatal.
Besides, Ye Chong was a man who grew through constant battles. If it weren't for the fact that his identity as an outsider was too sensitive, his counterattack would have been far more severe.
The young man was in a coma and could not explain his actions. Things began to develop in a dangerous direction. This young man probably did not expect that his impulsive behavior would actually cause such a violent storm that was about to happen.
"What should we do?" Qi Wei looked around and asked in a deep voice.
Almost all of the best alchemists on Dankwood Planet were in this room. After receiving the news that the successor of the inventor of the Green Tempest was about to arrive at Emerald City, almost all the representatives of the sects on Dankwood Planet rushed to Emerald City overnight.
Qi Wei was the current leader of the Qian System. The Thousand System was the most powerful and oldest alchemy school on Dankwood Planet. They were one of the best in the entire free space zone. Because of this, the Qian System had always been the representative of alchemy on Dankwood Planet.
Qi Wei looked at the experts from all the schools gathered in the room, and could not help but feel a little emotional. How many years had it been since such a gathering was held in the alchemy world? Ten years? Twenty years? He could not remember anymore. If it wasn't for this mysterious alchemist, they wouldn't have all gathered here!
No one in the room spoke. No one was willing to speak up at this moment. In fact, the inventor of the Green Tempest had a very special place in the hearts of the alchemists on Dankwood Planet. On one hand, he was a madman in the eyes of the common people, and had negatively affected the reputation of alchemists at that time, for decades to come. On the other hand, his contributions to alchemy were unparalleled. He was the leading figure in the research of alchemy reagents of mass destruction, and started a new era of alchemy. His strength and expertise in alchemy made him the pinnacle of alchemy on Dankwood Planet. He was the idol of many alchemists.
Almost all alchemists had mixed feelings towards someone like him. This feeling extended to Ye Chong as well.
The room was dead silent, and the atmosphere was hard to accept. No one here could cure the young man's symptoms, not even Qi Wei. Of course, this did not mean anything. The Qian System was famous for its hallucinogenic alchemy, and was not proficient in other areas. Regardless, this showed everyone the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious alchemist's abilities.
The first to break the silence was a middle-aged man dressed in black. His cheeks were thin, and his eyes were deep set, but his gaze was sharp as a sword. It was obvious that he was not a broad-minded person. This man in black was also famous in the alchemy world on Dankwood Planet. He was the current leader of Night Fragrance, Pei Lidu.
The alchemy techniques of the Night Fragrance School were completely contrary to their name. They were an aggressive school of alchemy, and the disciples of the Night Fragrance School loved to go around provoking others. However, they had a variety of attacking methods, and they did have a few very powerful alchemy products, so the average alchemist was quite afraid of them. The unfortunate young man was his student.
"The owner of Green Tempest has a lethal weapon in his hands. However, if that incident were to happen again, I wonder what the outcome would be? "Pei Lidu said slowly.
These words hit the nail on the head of what everyone was worried about. While the incident was deeply ingrained in the minds of alchemists, it had long faded from the minds of the average person. Only those who were well versed in the history of Dankwood Planet would know about it.
Over the years, alchemists had gained a positive image in the public's mind. They were respected. No alchemist would want to see the reputation of alchemists suffer a fatal blow like the one before.
This was why they had rushed to Emerald City so anxiously.
And this sudden incident seemed to confirm what they were most worried about in their hearts.
Looking at the angry crowd in the room, Guang Wei looked on coldly from the corner and sneered in his heart. What good stuff could come out of the night fragrance? He had once been defeated by a disciple of Night Fragrance. He knew how arrogant the disciples of Night Fragrance could be. However, Night Fragrance was not something the declining Smoke Sect could compare to. He could only swallow his anger. The Smoke Sect had been in decline for many years. All the core techniques of the sect were lost. What he knew now was only the most basic techniques of the Smoke Sect. How could he fight against a disciple of Night Fragrance?
He understood that the Smoke Sect had no right to speak in this discussion. If he had any objections, he would not only be looked down upon by the crowd, it would not bring him any benefits. He would also offend Ye Xiangliu. He knew that Pei Lidu would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. That was why he hid in the corner and watched the performance.
A performance like this was not something that could be seen on a daily basis! He thought maliciously.
As for Qi Wei, he did not want to disrupt the balance of the alchemy community on Dankwood Planet because of this sudden appearance of an alchemist. Moreover, he did not want to offend Ye Xiangliu. That was why he chose to acquiesce.
Soon, everyone came to an agreement. Qi Wei's acquiescence directly affected most of the neutral alchemists. Killing an alchemist who could negatively affect the entire alchemy community was a difficult decision to make. Since there was no right or wrong, they could do whatever they wanted.
To Qi Wei, it was not just him. To many people, no matter how strong an alchemist was, he would never be able to fight against a strong and powerful sect. No matter how strong this mysterious alchemist was, he would never be able to fight against the entire alchemy community. To them, the mysterious alchemist's biggest trump card was the Green Tempest in his possession.
Green Tempest may be infamous, but it was a technology from hundreds of years ago. They believed that their progress in alchemy would definitely surpass that of the Green Tempest Quench, who was an antique from hundreds of years ago. More importantly, they already knew how to deal with the Green Tempest.
Ye Chong did not know that the alchemists were discussing how to deal with him.
He was focused on his research. During the attack, he was prepared for it. The two wooden boxes were hidden in the temporary pit he dug, so the precious ingredients were not damaged.
His recent encounters had deepened his understanding of alchemy, and made him interested in using it. He borrowed a large number of alchemy tools from the City Lord. The City Lord did not hesitate to fulfill this simple request. He sent Ye Chong the best alchemy tools in Emerald City. He only hoped that Ye Chong would not cause trouble. That was his only wish for Ye Chong.
With the tools in hand, Ye Chong's research went smoothly. He had a lot of ingredients on hand. These days, he kept trying to make alchemy products that he had never made before. There were all sorts of alchemy products on his desk. They were colorful and very pleasing to the eye.
Lunatic Guan's chip was very informative, and Ye Chong's research was only a small part of it. As he marveled at the profoundness of alchemy, Ye Chong immersed himself in his research again and again.
These few days were the most crucial period of his research, forcing him to postpone his planned departure for a few days. As for his remuneration, Han Yue had already sent it to him on his first day in Emerald City.
However, Ye Chong did not expect that his postponement of a few days was the beginning of a major upheaval in the alchemy community on Dankwood planet.
