Alchemist Association
In the large open ground, the young lady whose delicate body was wrapped under a red dress stared intently at Xiao Yan who had just turned around. The expression in her eyes was sharp and the words that were spat out from her red lips were filled with dissatisfaction.
After the young lady's words were spat out, the gazes of the other members of the Long March also landed on Xiao Yan, who had just turned around and was about to leave. Because of the words of the young lady in red dress, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. His body, which was about to leave, still remained in the same spot.
Immediately, Xiao Yan slowly turned around. At the same time that his gaze was looking at the young lady, the latter's gaze was also staring intently at him.
"What I am saying is that if the time you used to nurture the pill was a little longer, and if the temperature of the flame could be maintained in a balanced state, allowing the medicinal pill to remain at the same temperature from start to finish, the quality of this medicinal pill would be able to reach a tier 9 Xuan Pill and not just a tier 9 Treasure Pill."
From the process of this young lady refining the pill earlier, Xiao Yan had already clearly discovered the flaws of the latter's pill refinement. Firstly, the young lady had overly exhausted her Dou Qi when refining the medicinal ingredients at the beginning, resulting in the pouring of Dou Qi being intermittent towards the end. Even though Xiao Yan did not see the content at the beginning, Xiao Yan was similarly able to imagine it in his heart based on his experienced alchemist skills.
Secondly, even though the young lady's Spiritual Strength was sufficiently strong, her control of the flame was clearly lacking. Perhaps she did not pay enough attention to it, or perhaps it was because this flame was a beast flame that she had just obtained, but overall, the young lady's control of the flame could not be considered skillful. This also coincidentally affected the quality of the medicinal pill.
If it was either of these two points, perhaps the quality of the medicinal pill would not have dropped to such a level. However, it was because of the young lady's carelessness that the medicinal pill that could have reached a tier 9 Xuan Pill ended up being a tier 9 Treasure Pill. It was also because of this that Xiao Yan spoke out and said that it was a pity.
Everyone present also became quiet after the words from Xiao Yan's mouth sounded. Their gazes would occasionally look at the red-dressed, young lady before looking at Xiao Yan. At the same time, some pity surfaced in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Yan.
When these words of Xiao Yan were transmitted into the young lady's ears, it caused her face to turn green. She was naturally aware of all this. However, since things had developed to this point, she had already obtained the medicinal pill. It was impossible for her to return it to the cauldron and refine it again. Even the others did not dare to refute her. This fellow in front of her had actually mercilessly pointed out her mistake. This caused the young lady, who had always paid attention to her face, to feel extremely embarrassed for an instant.
Because of Xiao Yan's words, her fair and pretty face quickly turned red. She clenched her silver teeth and her gaze was somewhat at a loss. Under her sleeves, a pair of slender jade-like hands randomly grabbed the corner of her clothes. Her entire person was too stiff as she stood beside the medicinal cauldron.
Xiao Yan did not care about the young lady's appearance. He turned around and left as the people behind him opened up a path for him.
"Stop!"
Moreover, at this moment, the red-dressed young lady suddenly raised her gaze. Her pair of almond eyes were opened wide. Her gaze was filled with coldness as she stared at Xiao Yan, who had already left.
Feeling the ice-cold gaze that was shot from behind, Xiao Yan could not help but frown slightly. His words just now had accurately pointed out this girl's mistake. He did not expect that this girl actually did not repent and would bite the hand that fed her.
"You said that the quality of the medicinal pill that this young lady refined did not reach the standard that it should have. May I ask, what right do you have to make such a comment to me?"
When the young lady's words came out, everyone's gazes were like spotlights as they uniformly landed on Xiao Yan's body.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan could not help but frown slightly. Once again, he turned around and narrowed his eyes. His gaze was puzzled as he looked at the red-dressed young lady.
When she saw Xiao Yan's gaze, the corners of the red-dressed young lady's mouth slowly curled into a cold smile. Soon after, she stared coldly at Xiao Yan and said in an ice-cold voice,
"The Alchemist Association is a place that only alchemists can enter. Looking at your appearance, you don't seem to be an alchemist. Since that is the case, then what right do you have to comment on my medicinal pill and what right do you have to enter the Alchemist Association?"
The young lady's tone was ice-cold and her face carried a cold smile. Her pair of almond eyes sized up Xiao Yan and she still had an appearance of making bogus accusations.
When the young lady's words came out, the alchemists present also revealed astonishment as they scanned Xiao Yan's body. Only then did they regain their senses. At this moment, among all the people present, only Xiao Yan's attire was different from theirs.
This place was the Alchemist Association. Everyone who entered this place would first put on the alchemist robe that was given to them by the Alchemist Association. This was a confirmation of their identity and could also be considered a pass to enter the Alchemist Association.
The alchemist robe could not only prove the identity of an alchemist, but the badge that was exclusive to the Pill Tower could also display the tier of an alchemist. This was a confirmation of the status of an alchemist.
A powerful alchemist would be able to obtain the respect of the strong with just an alchemist robe without revealing their Spiritual Strength.
At this moment, only Xiao Yan was not wearing an alchemist robe among all the people present. Under the precondition that one was unable to prove one's identity, such a person would usually be expelled from the Alchemist Association. Of course, there were naturally exceptions among them. Those were experts with sufficient strength. If an elite Dou Di was present, even this red-dressed young lady would not be able to do anything to him.
Of course, Xiao Yan was not an elite Dou Di. Just by looking at his appearance, the people present would naturally not think that such a young black-robed man would be a Dou Di.
Since he did not have an alchemist robe as proof of his identity and did not possess the strength of an elite Dou Di, from the way they saw it, Xiao Yan in front of them naturally did not have the qualification to continue staying in this place.
Xiao Yan involuntarily shrugged his shoulders when he sensed the numerous strange gazes that were shot over from around him. Since she had already said such words, this red-dressed young lady clearly intended to squeeze him. If she did not want him to continue staying in this place, he would just leave.
Xiao Yan leisurely turned around. He was just about to lift his foot when the young lady opened her mouth again.
"Stop. Did this young lady allow you to leave!"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. This young lady had a lot of demands. He had already given in. What else did she want?
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. His expression was slightly gloomy. However, in order to not stir up trouble, Xiao Yan turned around for the third time.
Xiao Yan turned around time and time again, causing the cold smile on the pretty face of this young lady with a fiery temper to become even denser. The former's forbearance time and time again was instead treated by her as cowardice. At this moment, when she saw Xiao Yan turn around once again, the expression on her pretty face became even more unruly.
"You are clearly not an alchemist, yet you actually dare to pretend to know when you don't. You are spouting nonsense here. Have you forgotten where this place is? Now, this young lady wants you to apologize to this young lady for being so presumptuous earlier!"
When the young lady's words left her mouth, not only Xiao Yan, but even the few tier nine alchemists around him could not help but reveal a tinge of dissatisfaction on their faces. With regards to Xiao Yan's previous comments, they naturally acknowledged it in their hearts. However, due to the special status of this young lady in red dress, they did not dare to open their mouths. However, at this moment, this young lady's actions were clearly overboard.
Xiao Yan lowered his face. At this moment, his expression was similarly gloomy. He did not expect that he would actually meet such an unruly and willful woman. If it was not for the fact that he did not want to reveal his identity because of the Fire Plume Flower, based on Xiao Yan's character, he would have given this woman a slap long ago.
"Humph."
After coldly snorting, Xiao Yan turned around. He could not be bothered with this unreasonable young lady any longer. His feet moved as he prepared to leave.
"Bastard! Who do you think you are, to actually dare to ignore this young lady's words. Men, capture him for this young lady. Since you won't apologize, then this young lady will personally take action and teach you to lower your head and admit your mistakes! "
When she saw that Xiao Yan actually ignored her words and turned around to leave, a warm and angry expression immediately surfaced on the young lady's pretty face. The instant her icy cold shout sounded out, a few black shadows immediately shot out from the darkness of the alchemy room. Like numerous sharp arrows, they instantly pierced through the crowd and arrived in front of Xiao Yan before the crowd around Xiao Yan could react.
The instant the black shadows appeared in front of Xiao Yan, sharp blades that were suffused with a cold glint quickly materialized in the air. With an incomparably formidable aura, they swiftly pierced towards Xiao Yan's throat.
In the blink of an eye, those few sharp blades had already arrived at Xiao Yan's throat. It was also at this moment that the others in the area slowly regained their senses. When they saw the four black shadows that had appeared around Xiao Yan, a shocked expression involuntarily surfaced on everyone's faces.
Everyone present was an alchemist. Normally, they relied on their Spiritual Strength to make a living. However, at this moment, from the position where these four people had appeared, it was obvious that they had been hiding in this alchemy room for a long time. Yet, none of these people had discovered them. This also proved just how powerful these four people were.
"Sigh … This brat is truly a newborn calf that does not fear the tiger. He dares to provoke anyone. Young lady Xu's name is well known in Xuan City. Of all the people he could provoke, he just had to provoke her. Sigh, he is truly courting death!"
When they saw the sharp blades in the hands of the four figures that were about to pierce Xiao Yan's throat, a pitiful sigh involuntarily sounded out from the crowd. In the next instant, the sharp blades in the hands of the four black shadows simultaneously pierced Xiao Yan's throat.
Soon after, however, a shocked expression suddenly surged into the eyes of the four black figures. One could see that the sharp blades in their hands did not cause even the slightest trace of blood when they landed. By the time they raised their heads, they could clearly see that the body of this' Xiao Yan, 'whom they had struck at a fatal spot, had actually gradually become illusionary.
"This is an afterimage!"
When they saw this scene, the pupils of the four black shadows involuntarily shrunk. In the next instant, their bodies abruptly turned around in mid-air, only to see that Xiao Yan was actually leisurely walking back the way he had come.
"Stay!"
The four of them simultaneously let out a low cry. At the same time, their bodies once again shot forward. The sharp blades in their hands were each aimed at the vital points on Xiao Yan's body. Once they hit, even if he did not die, he would definitely end up with a serious injury.
The degree of viciousness of these four people's attacks was truly shameful. Furthermore, they were actually able to do such a sinister thing in a four against one situation. It was not difficult to imagine what kind of vicious person their master was.
This time around, Xiao Yan had clearly sensed the actions of these four people. Immediately, his originally gloomy face became even more solemn. Originally, he did not wish to create any trouble. However, the wind would not stop even if the tree wished to remain calm. The red-dressed lady on the stage had repeatedly made things difficult for him. At this moment, the people that she had sent out wanted to kill him the moment they attacked. This really caused one to be unable to endure it.
"Scram!"
Just as the four of them were about to arrive behind Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan suddenly spat out a domineering word. At the same time, an incomparably powerful and terrifying Spiritual Force also swept out from Xiao Yan's body in an instant. With just a single exchange, the four people behind him were instantly sent flying.
"Puchi!"
At the same time as the four people's bodies heavily smashed onto the ground, each of them could not help but spit out a large mouthful of blood. In the blink of an eye, the auras of the four people withered.
Only at this moment did the crowd of alchemists in the arena recover from their shock. Deep shock surfaced on everyone's faces. They never would have thought that this seemingly young black-robed young man in front of them would actually be so powerful. Especially when they felt the terrifying Spiritual Force that gushed out from the latter's body, the shock in their hearts could not be described with words.
At this moment, even the expression on the pretty face of the red-dressed young lady, who was standing beside the medicinal cauldron and holding the medicinal pill in her hand, also appeared to be incomparably terrified. Her entire body was stunned on the spot because of this. Both of her eyes stared intently at the empty space in front of her without any spirit.
Just at this moment, Xiao Yan, who originally did not intend to make a move, suddenly moved. The figure covered by the black robe was like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared in front of the four people lying on the ground. At the same time, the movements of his hands did not stop at all as his fist heavily smashed onto the chest of one of them.
"Bang!"
As the punch landed, another large mouthful of dark red blood was uncontrollably spat out. The figure that was hit by Xiao Yan's punch instantly became seriously injured and lost all of his fighting strength.
The appearance of this scene caused the hearts of the other three to be extremely shocked. They went all out in an attempt to struggle. However, their struggle and resistance was ultimately exchanged with a punch from Xiao Yan that was merciless in the end.
"Bang bang bang!"
As the three punches landed one after another, the emotions in the hearts of everyone present had already reached an uncontrollable stage. In the end, after Xiao Yan caused the four people to completely lose their fighting strength, he finally arrived in front of the young lady in a red dress.
The sudden appearance of Xiao Yan in front of her scared the young lady so much that she instantly regained her senses. Her delicate body trembled violently under the fear, her red lips slightly opened, but she could not make any sound. She could only watch as Xiao Yan slowly raised his arm in front of her, and then, under the shocked gaze of the person behind her, a heavy slap landed on the fair face of the young lady.
"Pah!"
At this moment, the arena was strangely silent. Everyone stared at Xiao Yan with their eyes wide open. This slap was exceptionally clear and loud in the alchemy room at this moment.
