What delighted Lin Long was that after spending a lot of time, he managed to refine the Destiny Obeying Pill. Its effect was no different from the original one.
It was obvious that the Azure Mark had a substitute effect.
Subsequently, he continued to refine the Destiny Obeying Pill until the entire Azure Mark was used up.
Now that the Destiny Obeying Pill was refined, he had to leave this place. After refining the pill, such a thought flashed through Lin Long's mind.
Because of the Spirit Soothing Pill, more and more forces came to Dingxi City. Even experts who could activate level-four icy talismans had arrived. Lin Long knew that if he didn't leave quickly, it would be difficult for him to do so.
Before Lin Long left, Guo Haiyun hurriedly came to find him the next day.
"Guo Haiyun, what's the matter?" Lin Long couldn't help but ask when he saw Guo Haiyun's expression.
"The City Lord personally came to find you. He said that it's urgent!" Guo Haiyun said.
"Oh, then let's meet him." Lin Long nodded.
The City Lord of Dingxi City didn't have much of a presence in Dingxi City, but since he personally came to find him, there must be something important.
Soon, Lin Long met the City Lord of Dingxi City. He was a middle-aged man in his forties.
"City Lord, what's the matter?" Lin Long respectfully asked when he saw the City Lord.
"It's like this, Young Master Lin. His Majesty sent someone to bring me a letter," the City Lord said.
"Oh? What's the content of the letter? "Lin Long frowned.
This kind of situation was within his expectations. He even felt that the emperor's reaction was slow. After all, the Spirit Soothing Pill could be of great use in this world.
"The letter hopes that Young Master Lin can hand over the method to refine the Spirit Soothing Pill to our Icepeak Nation. At that time, His Majesty will definitely bestow Young Master with wealth. His Majesty has already sent someone over. He will probably arrive in Dingxi City soon … The person sent by His Majesty is General Song Yuechang," the City Lord said.
"General Song Yuechang is an expert who can activate level-four icy talismans," Guo Ying explained.
Lin Long wasn't surprised that the emperor would send such an expert. It could even be said that it was reasonable for the other party to send an expert who could activate level-five icy talismans.
Lin Long immediately said, "City Lord, don't worry. I will hand over the method to refine the Spirit Soothing Pill to General Song Yuechang."
"In that case, I will have to trouble young master Lin." Seeing that Lin Long had agreed, the city lord heaved a sigh of relief.
Only then did the City Lord leave.
After the City Lord left, Guo Ying couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Lin, are you really going to give the method to refine the Spirit Tranquil Pill to General Song?"
"Of course not," said Linlong.
Although this Spirit Calming Pill was dispensable to him, he would not just hand it over to anyone.
"Alright, gather everyone here," Linlong said.
"Yes!" Guo Ying and Guo Haiyun immediately left.
Very quickly, all the important people gathered at the Spirit Calming Pill medicine shop.
"I will be leaving the Spirit Calming Pill Store today …" Lin Long announced his decision as he looked at these people.
After handing over some matters, Linlong immediately left. He followed Lan Yuze and Chun Mei to hide in a small town in Dingxi City.
The reason why he was following Lan Yuze was naturally because he wanted to learn runes from Lan Yuze.
Unknowingly, a few days had passed. Due to the foundation he had laid earlier, Linlong had managed to master the Level 2 Ice Talisman in the past few days.
"Young Master Lin, you're too amazing!" Lan Yuze could not help but sigh when he saw that Lin Long could accomplish this in such a short period of time.
He thought that he had some talent, but he realized that compared to Lin Long, the difference was like heaven and earth.
After sighing, Lan Yuze immediately said, "Young Master Lin, I won't be able to teach you anymore."
"Why?" Linlong could not help but be puzzled.
"Because if you want to master the Level 3 Ice Talisman, you must comprehend your own Absolute Silence Rune. Only by comprehending the Absolute Silence Rune can you activate the Level 3 Ice Talisman," said Lan Yuze.
"Absolute Silence Rune? What kind of rune is that? "Linlong frowned. This was the first time he had heard of it.
"This is a unique type of rune. Although it is not complicated or difficult to master, everyone comprehends it differently. Moreover, you can't use the Absolute Silence Rune that others have already comprehended," said Lan Yuze.
"Is that so? Then, how should I comprehend this Absolute Silence Rune?" Linlong asked.
"You must go to a certain academy and comprehend the Absolute Silence Rune Magic Array there. Because of this, I can't teach you unless you comprehend the Absolute Silence Rune," said Lan Yuze.
"If that's the case, I understand." Linlong nodded.
It sounded simple, but he knew that it would be very difficult for him to enter a certain academy because of his relationship with the Mutated Tribe.
Was there a place that did not require him to reveal his true appearance to enter? Such a thought flashed across Linlong's mind.
He immediately asked such a question.
"Young Master Lin, I do know of an academy that does not require you to reveal your true appearance," Lan Yuze said directly.
"Oh, what is that?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"It's a place called the Mask Academy. As long as you can enter, you do not need to reveal your true appearance," said Lan Yuze.
After a slight pause, he continued, "However, to enter the Mask Academy, you need to obtain an invitation from the Mask Academy. Without an invitation, no matter how distinguished your identity is, the Mask Academy will not allow you to enter to study."
"Then how do I obtain an invitation?" Linlong asked doubtfully.
"The invitation is sent by the Mask Academy to some powerful factions or people of status. However, there is no rule that only these people can use the invitation. In other words, no matter who it is, as long as they obtain the invitation, they can enter the Mask Academy. There is no need to verify their identity … As for which faction or person has such an invitation, I do not know," said Lan Yuze.
"Why don't you ask Zhou Han?" Linlong quickly thought of Zhou Han. After all, Zhou Han's identity was different.
After that, he asked Lin Long to call Zhou Han over. Zhou Han and the Zhou Clan were still in Dingxi City.
Zhou Han quickly arrived at the small town, accompanied by Zhou Ba.
"Young Master, what's the matter?" Zhou Han asked after meeting Linlong alone.
"Do you know of the Mask Academy?" Linlong asked directly.
"I do. Do you want to enter the Mask Academy, Young Master?" Zhou Han could not help but ask.
"Yes." Linlong nodded and said, "I want to master the Absolute Silence Rune, but because of the Mutated Tribe, I cannot enter any academy. Therefore, I can only go to the Mask Academy."
"I see." Zhou Han nodded to show that he understood.
"Can you get an invitation to enter the Mask Academy?" Linlong asked again.
"Our Zhou Clan did not get such an invitation." Zhou Han shook his head.
"Your Zhou Clan did not get one?" Linlong could not help but be surprised.
"Yes." Zhou Han nodded and said, "However, I have a friend whose clan received an invitation. We can go and ask him."
"Who is your friend? Where is he?" Linlong asked.
"His surname is Kong Yang. He is in Nanjiang City, south of our Ice Peak Nation," Zhou Han replied.
"Then let's head to Nanjiang City immediately!" Linlong said without hesitation.
Linlong immediately followed Zhou Han, Zhou Ba, and the Zhou Clan members to Nanjiang City.
He told Zhou Ba that he was going to Nanjiang City for some matters, so Zhou Ba and the others naturally did not suspect anything.
As for Lan Yuze and Chun Mei, they stayed where they were.
Two days later, they arrived at Nanjiang City. Nanjiang City was about the same size as Dingxi City, but it looked more prosperous than Dingxi City.
After entering Nanjiang City, Zhou Han directly went to the Kong Clan to look for Kong Yang.
Kong Yang was the third son of the Kong Clan's Patriarch and the third young master of the Kong Clan.
When they arrived at the Kong Clan and reported their identities, the people at the entrance immediately led them to Kong Yang.
After waiting in one of the rooms for a while, they saw Kong Yang.
When he saw Zhou Han and the others, Kong Yang first looked at Linlong with a strange expression before he looked at Zhou Han and said, "Brother Zhou, what brings you here?"
Zhou Han looked at Linlong and said, "It's because of this friend of mine. That's why I came to look for you."
Hearing Zhou Han's words, Kong Yang was naturally shocked. He did not expect that someone of Zhou Han's status would actually lower himself to do something for someone else.
This naturally made him even more curious about Linlong's identity.
"Oh, what is it?" Kong Yang asked.
"It's like this. Because my friend has a very ugly scar on his face, he doesn't want others to see it. He also wants to enter a certain academy to comprehend the Absolute Silence Rune, so he can only enter the Mask Academy. I know that your Kong Clan has an invitation, so I came to ask about it," Zhou Jing said with a smile.
What kind of ugly scar is it that he doesn't even want others to see it? Kong Yang was puzzled again.
However, since Zhou Han did not say anything, he naturally would not ask.
He nodded and said, "Brother Zhou, our Kong Clan indeed has an invitation. I'm also not interested in going to the Mask Academy, but it's a little difficult for me to get an invitation."
"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhou Han asked.
"I'm not interested in the invitation, but many people in the Kong Clan are, including my eldest and second brothers. After all, the Mask Academy is very powerful. Because of this, my father specially organized a competition. If anyone can beat others in Absolute Silence Rune and Alchemy, they will be able to get an invitation, "Kong Yang said.
After a short pause, Kong Yang continued, "I originally had no intention of participating, but if you really want to get an invitation, I can participate and see if I can help you get one."
"Oh, is there any difficulty?" Zhou Han asked.
"Of course there are difficulties. I believe that no one is a match for me when it comes to the Ice Talisman Paper. However, I am a little weaker when it comes to alchemy. It will be difficult for me to win first place," Kong Yang said.
"If you win first place in Absolute Silence Rune and others win first place in Alchemy, who will get the invitation?" Zhou Han could not help but ask.
"Well, it depends on the situation. It depends on who is stronger than the others. If that's the case, I naturally have no confidence in getting an invitation," Kong Yang said.
"In other words, as long as you can win first place in Alchemy, you will definitely get an invitation?" Linlong suddenly said.
"Yes, that's right." Kong Yang nodded confidently.
"If that's the case, I'll try to see if I can help you improve your Alchemy skills in a short time," Linlong said.
"Are you a very strong Alchemist?" Kong Yang could not help but look at Linlong.
"I have some ability. It should not be a problem for me to handle a competition like yours," Linlong said.
Having been in the Chilly World for so long, Linlong naturally had an understanding of the Alchemy of this world. He realized that it was similar to the Cangyun World, so he was naturally confident.
"However, you have to understand that I'm the one participating, not you. You may be strong, but can you help me improve my Alchemy skills by leaps and bounds in half a month?" Kong Yang frowned.
In his opinion, even the most powerful Alchemist could not do that. After all, he was lagging behind in Alchemy.
It was not because he was not talented, but because he had focused all his energy on Rune Studies.
It was only recently that he became interested in Alchemy.
"As long as your talent is not bad, I think it should be no problem," Linlong said.
"Oh, then I'll give it a try." Kong Yang's eyes shone brightly.
After all, he would not lose out in such an experiment.
Then, he changed the topic. "However, before that, I want to test your strength!"
"No problem." Linlong nodded.
"Alright!" Kong Yang immediately said to the servant outside, "Get me Master Yang!"
"Yes!" The servant hurriedly left.
Kong Yang then said to Linlong, "Master Yang is the Master who has been teaching me Alchemy recently. If you can beat him, then we'll talk!"
"Yes, no problem." Linlong nodded again.
Soon, a middle-aged man hurried in. When he saw so many people inside, he was naturally surprised. Then, he looked at Kong Yang and said, "Third Young Master, what's the matter?"
"Master Yang, this person wants to compete with you in Alchemy. If you are better than him, you will continue to teach me Alchemy in the Kong Residence. Otherwise …" Kong Yang said directly.
Upon hearing this, Master Yang's expression could not help but change. He immediately looked at Linlong, who was wearing a large bamboo hat.
"Master Yang, please excuse me," Linlong said indifferently.
"Alright." Master Yang frowned and then said, "How do we compete?"
"Master Yang, you decide. We can compete in any way," Linlong said.
This guy was really arrogant! Linlong's words made Master Yang inexplicably nervous.
He naturally did not dare to be careless. He immediately said, "Then let's fight three against two."
"No problem." Linlong replied.
Kong Yang immediately asked someone to carry two tables over. Linlong and Master Yang walked directly to the table and took out their Alchemy tools.
"This round, how about we compete in refining Qinglian Pills?" Master Yang said.
"Yes." Linlong nodded in agreement.
Qinglian Pills were an ordinary type of Alchemy Pill.
Then, both of them took out the ingredients to refine Qinglian Pills.
"Let the competition begin!"
Following Kong Yang's voice, both of them began to compete.
