Lu An's success caused an uproar.
Although Lu An wasn't willing to submit the elixir together with the others, his success still didn't escape the eyes of all the experts present.
To successfully concoct the elixir in six hours, this was definitely the standard of a Level 8 alchemist. When Lu An handed over the elixir, the staff was completely dumbfounded. There was naturally no problem with the elixir. When Lu An flew up and left the venue, the VIP rooms of the four great empires, the referee's platform, and the people from the sects in the dark immediately focused their attention on this young man.
Among the Level 8 alchemists that they knew, this young man's name was definitely not there. Although they didn't know if this person was really young or just faking it, any Level 8 alchemist was definitely an existence that they would fight over!
What made them even more shocked was, when did such a person appear in the Southern Cloud Empire? How come they didn't know anything about it?!
Not only did they not know, even the people of the Southern Cloud Empire didn't know. In the VIP rooms, everyone looked at the young man who flew out of the arena with a shocked expression. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and was dumbfounded!
Even the Southern Cloud Emperor, Wang Yan, couldn't control the shock in his eyes. A Level 8 alchemist could definitely increase the strength and attractiveness of an empire by a level! Beside the Southern Cloud Emperor, Princess Yan Yi couldn't control the ecstasy in her heart. She was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands!
The Southern Cloud Emperor gradually recovered from his shock. Looking at his daughter who was dancing with joy beside him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was completely like a little girl worshipping the person she liked, and she didn't even try to hide it. However, he remembered his daughter saying that this person already had a wife. But if this person was so outstanding, marrying his daughter to him wouldn't be a disgrace to the empire's prestige.
Under everyone's admiring and admiring gaze, Lu An returned to the front of the six women. He smiled and said to the six women, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you."
The six women all revealed a beautiful smile. Liu Yi looked at Lu An and said, "This time, you are really in the limelight."
Lu An smiled. Actually, this wasn't a good thing for him. That was why he kept his head down most of the time in the arena. He said to the six women, "Are we going to continue watching here? Or leave? "
"Let's go. There are too many people looking at you," Liu Yi said. "Let's go back to the Immortal Island first."
Lu An nodded and left with the six women. The teleportation circle closed, and the seven of them disappeared from the audience under everyone's gaze.
However, what Lu An did not notice was that there was a figure he recognized standing in the air not far away. This person had rushed over from afar, but when he saw the six women beside Lu An, he suddenly stopped. His expression was conflicted, and the emotions in his eyes were indescribable.

Beiyi Sea, Immortal Island.
After Lu An and the six girls returned home, they chatted happily for a while. After experiencing so many things, the atmosphere in the clan was much better than when they were in Purple Lake City.
"Is the next match tomorrow?" Liu Lan asked.
Lu An shook his head and said, "The staff told me that after three days, they will rearrange the venue after counting the number of people. Every Celestial Master in the third round will have a huge venue to ensure that they won't be affected by each other."
Hearing this, the six girls lightly nodded. This way, they would have a few more days to rest. Lu An's participation in the competition was a huge matter for them, and it was also an excuse for them to take a break. The few women were prepared to rest on the Immortal Island for a few days, and Yao and Yang Beauty naturally did not reject.
However, to Lu An, these three days would still be very busy. He needed to read more books. Even today's elixir was misleading, let alone the next match.
Time flew, and soon, sixteen hours had passed, and it was late at night. Other than Liu Yi, the five women were chatting and playing on the grass, while Lu An sat at the side, reading a book under the candlelight. Suddenly, a teleportation circle opened, and Liu Yi returned. She had just gone to the Chamber of Commerce to check on the situation.
"How was it?" Yang Beauty asked.
"The competition has already ended, and those Level 7 Alchemists all failed three times." Liu Yi smiled and said, "However, Liu Huanxi entered the next round, and there were only four Level 7 Alchemists who entered the next round."
Hearing this, everyone laughed happily, and Lu An was the same. It seemed that Liu Huanxi understood his meaning. However, his actions were indeed somewhat cheating, but he knew that if Liu Huanxi could enter the next round, it would greatly benefit the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. His reminder was just a normal action, and Liu Huanxi's perception was also very high.
However, even so, this matter made Lu An somewhat uncomfortable in his heart. He even regretted it, because it was unfair to the others.
Liu Yi turned to look at Lu An, and saw the hesitation on Lu An's face. She had also heard about Lu An's reminder from Liu Huanxi. Lu An had always been an upright person, and this cheating action did indeed make him feel uncomfortable in his heart.
"These four Level 7 Alchemists all gave up participating in the next round." Liu Yi continued.
Shuang 'er was startled, and asked, "Why?"
"Because they know that they can't refine a Level 8 Pill." Liu Yi said, and turned to Lu An, "Don't think too much about it. I've already asked around, and the other three Level 7 Alchemists are all from the Medicine God Empire. They were all reminded by someone without exception, and according to the spectators, the reminder was very obvious, and it didn't just stop at the refining step."
"Reminders are things that every empire's Chamber of Commerce will do. Those Level 8 Alchemists even directly used their Divine Sense to explain the refining trick to their own people. Even so, only four people were able to successfully refine the pill." Liu Yi said, "Compared to them, your reminder is nothing."
Lu An heard this and smiled bitterly. He knew that Liu Yi was comforting him, and nodded, "I understand."
"There's one more thing." Liu Yi's eyes narrowed, and her tone changed, "Princess Yanyi came to find me. She said that the Southern Cloud Emperor wants to see you."
Lu An was startled, and so were the other five women.
Southern Cloud Emperor?
Lu An frowned, and asked, "Why does he want to see me?"
"According to the princess, it's because you're a Level 8 Alchemist, so she wants to get to know you." Liu Yi said seriously, "As for whether she has any other motives, I don't know."
Lu An frowned, and then asked Liu Yi, "Will there be trouble if I reject her?"
"I don't know." Liu Yi shook her head, and said with uncertainty, "However, Princess Yanyi said that her father doesn't know about your matter, and to express his sincerity, under Princess Yanyi's mediation, they can meet outside the empire."
Outside the empire?
Lu An's heart shook. If that was the case, then the Southern Cloud Emperor's sincerity was indeed very great. Even if the Southern Cloud Emperor's strength was top-notch, there would always be uncertainty when he acted alone. Lu An couldn't find a suitable reason to reject such an approach without considering safety.
Lu An actually wanted the six girls to give him some advice, but he didn't do so. Otherwise, if something happened, they would definitely blame themselves. Princess Yanyi didn't have any ill intentions towards him, and she even liked him a lot. If that was the case, it shouldn't be a problem for him to meet her, right?
Lu An thought for a long time, and thought of many possibilities. If the Southern Cloud Emperor knew about his matter, he would have already sent people to capture him during the competition, and wouldn't wait until now.
After careful consideration, Lu An took a deep breath, and said to Liu Yi, "Tell Princess Yanyi that we'll meet tomorrow afternoon."
Liu Yi nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go and inform her now."
With that, Liu Yi opened the transfer array and left. The other five girls looked at Lu An, and their eyes were filled with worry.
The Southern Cloud Emperor was really not an ordinary person. Meeting such a person made them very worried for Lu An.
Lu An also sat on the stone chair, and his brows were slightly furrowed. He stopped reading the book, and his mind was filled with thoughts of what to say and what not to say.
