This person was in his thirties and looked very burly. He had a ferocious look on his face. Lin Long was very familiar with this person. He was one of his teacher's disciples in his previous life. He could be said to be Lin Long's Eldest Martial Brother, Cao Xiuqi.
He knew that even though his big senior had a fierce appearance, his nature was very kind. So, Linlong did not mind at all.
Moreover, his big senior was clearly staying outside the rooms to help his teacher watch over them. He prevented others from randomly entering and disturbing his teacher who was doing experiments.
Cao Xiuqi's strength was not weak either. He had the strength of a late-stage Martial Lord. In addition to his fierce appearance, the person in charge of maintaining order outside the rooms was usually him.
Finally, there was one more thing. His talent in alchemy was not very outstanding. After so many years under his teacher's tutelage, he was only barely qualified to become a second-rank alchemist.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Seeing that Linlong did not speak, Cao Xiuqi spoke with a fierce face again.
"Senior, my name is Lin Long. I have come here to pay a visit to Teacher Kong Zhi." Linlong lightly smiled and said.
"Teacher Kong Zhi does not accept visits like this. If you want to see him, go to the alliance's registration area and sign up for the exam. Perhaps you will have a chance to see him that way." Cao Xiuqi said with a cold face.
"You want to directly pay a visit to Teacher Kong Zhi? You are dreaming. "At that time, a cold snort came from the left in front of him.
The one who spoke was a young man with a face full of arrogance. At that moment, he was standing next to a long chair.
On the long chair sat an old man over fifty years of age and a middle-aged man around forty years of age.
Linlong had not seen them because he had been blocked by the trees. However, his powerful Spiritual Force had already detected that there were three people in that direction.
The three of them wore the uniform of the Alchemist Alliance. The young man's uniform had three flowers embroidered on it, while the other two did not have any flower embroidered on their chests. However, even without looking at that, Linlong could tell that they were alchemists with even stronger strength than the young man from the special atmosphere they gave off.
Besides, the old man was an influential person in the Alchemist Alliance because he was the head of the Alchemist Alliance.
Lin Long did not know the young man and the middle-aged man, but they were definitely not ordinary people for the president to personally accompany them.
Linlong received the information with a single glance. However, he wasn't bothered by the young man's words. It wasn't because he didn't want to cause trouble, but because he didn't care about the young man at all.
When he saw that Lin Long was actually ignoring him, the haughty young man's expression involuntarily changed. However, it seemed like because the two elders were right beside him, he endured it and only stared viciously at Lin Long.
"What's wrong, little brother? Do you still not wish to leave?" Cao Xiuqi asked with a frown when he saw that Lin Long still had no intention of leaving despite his signal.
After saying that, he looked as if he wanted to chase Linlong out immediately.
Linlong took out a formula from his pocket and handed it to Cao Xiuqi. He said, "Give this formula to Teacher Kong Zhi, and he will let me in."
When he saw that Lin Long actually took out a formula and spoke in a very arrogant manner, the young man couldn't help but snort disdainfully. In his opinion, Lin Long was simply indulging in fantasy. What kind of formula could an ordinary young man take out that would make such a powerful alchemist look at him in a different light?
This was simply a fantasy story.
Cao Xiuqi thought the same in his heart. However, when he saw that Lin Long's formula was very neat and pleasing to the eye, he still accepted it.
With a single glance, he was immediately dumbfounded. This was because the medicinal pill that this formula could refine was something that his teacher had yet to completely understand.
Could this formula really be used to refine this Heaven Clear Pill? This thought involuntarily emerged in Cao Xiuqi's mind.
He knew that his teacher had spent god knows how much time and how many sleepless nights he had endured in order to refine this Heaven Clear Pill. However, due to the fact that the formula in his hands was somewhat incomplete, he still hadn't come up with any results.
Furthermore, right now, his teacher was researching this Heaven Clear Pill.
The Heaven Clear Pill wasn't a medicinal pill with very special medicinal effects. The reason why Kong Zhi was so persistent was because in the Mutian Continent, due to the original formula being incomplete and the complicated refinement steps, the Heaven Clear Pill had been considered to have been lost for the past several hundred years. There simply wasn't a single alchemist that could refine this pill.
As a teacher of the Alchemist Alliance and an alchemist that believed that he was extremely talented, how could he allow such a situation to continue? Thus, for the past ten years, he had been researching this Heaven Clear Pill. However, it was a pity that he still couldn't make heads or tails of it until now.
It wasn't just him. Many alchemists had also taken it upon themselves to crack this Heaven Clear Pill, but they were similarly powerless.
Thus, when he saw that the formula seemed to be very complete, Cao Xiuqi was naturally shocked.
"Wait a moment, I will go and inform my teacher." After saying this, he didn't wait for Linlong's reply and directly walked towards a room.
If the three people on the other side saw that this was the formula for the Heaven Clear Pill, they would probably be even more shocked than Cao Xiuqi. This was because they were stronger than Cao Xiuqi in terms of alchemy, so they naturally had a deeper understanding of the Heaven Clear Pill.
However, as they happened to be standing in front of Cao Xiuqi, how could they see the words on the formula? Thus, they were only a little curious as to why Cao Xiuqi was so shocked when he saw the formula that Linlong gave him.
As Cao Xiuqi's alchemy skills were weaker than theirs, they naturally didn't take Cao Xiuqi's shock to heart.
In fact, the young man even felt that Cao Xiuqi was simply being tricked by Linlong.
After a long while, Cao Xiuqi hurriedly walked out of the room. He was still walking in the direction of Linlong.
At this moment, the president of the Alchemist Union, Luo Hong, couldn't sit still. He frowned and said to Cao Xiuqi, "Xiuqi, what is your teacher doing? Isn't he done yet? Mister Ge and I have waited for so long. Isn't it worth it for him to put down what he is doing?"
As the president of the union, Luo Hong was naturally angry when he personally came to invite Kong Zhi. However, he was blocked at the door for almost an hour.
Although Kong Zhi was experienced and knowledgeable in alchemy, although Kong Zhi had a strange temper and would not give up until he finished an experiment, he was still the leader of the association. He only came once every ten years. If he was blocked outside like this, where would his face be?
In fact, if Mister Ge hadn't repeatedly asked him to invite him, if Ge Xiangming wasn't the sect leader of the Sky Meteor Sect and a powerful alchemist, he wouldn't have come looking for trouble.
Who would have thought that Kong Zhi would still do as he pleased after hearing that it was Luo Hong and the sect leader of the Sky Meteor Sect, Luo Hong became angrier the more he thought about it.
Ge Xiangming was a guest. He could still endure it, but Luo Hong, as the host, couldn't.
Seeing that Luo Hong was a little angry, Cao Xiuqi quickly stopped in his tracks and said awkwardly, "President, I'm sorry. My teacher asked you to wait a little longer. He will receive you after he has met Lin Long."
As a disciple of Kong Zhi, Cao Xiuqi knew his master's temper. Therefore, even if the president was about to fly into a rage, he could only say Kong Zhi's words.
"What? What does Kong Zhi mean? "
Hearing this, Luo Hong exploded. Kong Zhi had actually met this unknown young man first and then received them. It was obvious that he didn't respect him, the president.
If there was no one around, it would be fine. However, there was someone like Ge Xiangming. How could he put his old face?
Luo Hong wasn't the only one who flew into a rage. Even Ge Xiangming's face was a little ugly. He was a dignified sect leader. He had lowered his status to wait here for such a long time. Yet, he couldn't compare to an ordinary young man?
It should be known that his Sky Meteor Sect was not an ordinary sect. It was a major force that could stir up waves in the Chaotic Sky Continent. Otherwise, why would the president of the Alchemist Alliance accompany him here?
He admired Kong Zhi's knowledge and experience. He wanted to consult him on some of the problems he had recently encountered in alchemy. Who would have thought that he would be looked down upon. Ge Xiangming was also getting angrier the more he thought about it.
However, since Luo Hong had already expressed his dissatisfaction, he still endured it. He wanted to see what the young man in front of him had to say.
Although Cao Xiuqi had a fierce expression and was very strong, how could he withstand the pressure emitted from Luo Hong's body? When he spoke, his voice was already trembling. "President … I'm sorry. My teacher must have his reasons … so please don't make things difficult for me …"
After hearing Cao Xiuqi's words, Luo Hong's chest heaved up and down. He really wanted to rush in, but when he thought of the consequences, he finally suppressed his anger.
"Good, very good. I want to see what reason Kong Zhi has. If he doesn't have a reason that satisfies me, I will lock him up in the Pure Heart Pagoda for a year." Luo Hong said ruthlessly.
If it was anyone else, he would have directly expelled them from the Alchemist Alliance. However, how could he expel a talent like Kong Zhi? Naturally, he would use punishment as his priority.
Moreover, he knew that to a person who viewed the study of alchemy as his life, confinement was undoubtedly the greatest punishment.
After he finished speaking, Luo Hong angrily sat back on the bench.
Although Ge Xiangming was also angry, what else could he say since Luo Hong had already spoken so harshly?
Therefore, he could only follow Luo Hong and sit back down.
As for the young man, he only dared to look down on the seemingly weak Linlong. How would he dare to express his opinion in front of such an expert?
When he saw this situation, Cao Xiuqi, who was relieved, hurriedly called Linlong over and followed him to the room.
