As soon as he said this, the entire place fell silent.
It was so quiet that even the wind seemed to have stopped. It was as if the entire space had stopped. Everyone's expression was the same. It was as if they were shocked and confused. It was as if they didn't expect the answer at all, causing them to be unable to react.
They didn't know what kind of expression they should use to respond to this result.
This situation lasted for a long time until the wind reacted first. A gust of wind blew past, causing everyone to shiver violently. Then, the first person came to his senses and clapped.
However, the applause quickly spread out like a wave. Everyone was not stingy with their applause and clapped madly.
There were no cheers. This seemed to be the Alchemy Divine Nation's unique way of showing respect. The thunderous yet quiet applause lasted for a long time. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the young man.
In the Alchemy Divine Nation, the power of alchemy was not the power of a Heavenly Master. In the face of such a young talent, everyone expressed their respect.
The one who clapped the most was naturally Dong Hao. After spending his entire life in the business world, his eyes were completely red. Tears flowed out of his eyes. He didn't even notice that his hands were numb from clapping.
Like everyone else, the members of the Alchemy Guild were also shocked when they heard the result. However, they also clapped in unison. Song Zhi was the same. In the end, he raised his hand to show his respect.
His respect for a powerful alchemist would not change no matter how evil his heart was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the Alchemy Divine Nation.
The applause lasted for a long time before it gradually subsided. What followed was a belated discussion. Everyone couldn't help but discuss this young man. This young man was someone they had never heard of before.
"This time, I'm afraid the Dong Clan's Chamber of Commerce will make a comeback." Someone couldn't help but say, "With such a young talent, it's hard not to!"
"Yeah, who knows where the Dong Clan's Chamber of Commerce found him. Look at how young he is. In a few more years, the entire Yuan Mountain City will be under his control. "
"I'm afraid the entire Yuan Mountain City won't be able to keep him. Yuan Mountain City is too safe for the Alchemy Divine Nation. The truly powerful alchemists are all in the core cities. If this young man wants to develop, he will definitely go there. "
"…"
Below the arena, there was a beautiful woman standing in the crowd, watching. Behind her, there were more than ten guards protecting her. At this moment, her expression was equally astonished. Looking at Lu An on the stage, her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
She was none other than the woman who sold the wooden box to Lu An on his first day in Yuan Shan City. Her name was Fang Yuan, and she was sent by her family to Yuan Shan City to manage the business. In the Alchemy Divine Kingdom, most large auction houses were backed by large clans.
"I still underestimated this person." Fang Yuan's beautiful eyes wandered around, her gaze never leaving Lu An's back. She couldn't help but say, "It seems that he might really be able to open that wooden box."
At this time, Song Zhi on the stage finally moved. He took a deep breath. Although he didn't manage to help the Chilly Ice Chamber of Commerce win the championship, he still had a chance. Although the Alchemy Divine Nation didn't win the Alchemy Divine Nation, he didn't feel any regret seeing such a genius alchemist appear.
Song Zhi took a medal and an interspatial ring from the side and walked towards Lu An. He said seriously, "This is the prize for the champion. There are two Grade 4 Pill Recipes and three precious ingredients in the ring. They are not things that can be bought on the market. I hope that you will be able to improve after receiving them. "
Lu An looked at Song Zhi and was a little surprised by the sincerity in his words. He reached out to receive the ring and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Alliance Master."
"Lu An, I'll ask you one more time. Are you interested in joining my Alchemy Guild?" Song Zhi looked at Lu An. This time, his invitation was sincere. He said, "The resources of the Alchemy Guild are beyond your imagination. Yuan Shan City won't be able to accommodate you sooner or later. In the future, you can go to a bigger city and still obtain the resources of the Alchemy Guild."
Lu An smiled when he saw Song Zhi's invitation. He said politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Alliance Master. However, I've always been alone. I'm used to staying and going as I please. My personality isn't suitable for the Alchemy Guild."
Song Zhi was filled with regret when he heard this. Lu An had said the same thing previously. Without a doubt, the Alchemy Guild had lost one of its future prospects.
"If you change your mind in the future, feel free to look for me." Song Zhi looked at Lu An and said seriously, "The doors of the Alchemy Guild will always be open to a genius like you."
Hearing this, Lu An smiled and said, "Thank you."
Song Zhi also revealed a rare smile. He then turned around and announced loudly to everyone, "The Dong Family's Chamber of Commerce will be exempt from all taxes for the next year. All official roads will be free of charge!"
As soon as he said this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This was something that the previous champions had never enjoyed! One had to know that the taxes on elixirs were very high. It was as high as 20%!
The members of the Dong Family's Chamber of Commerce jumped and cheered when they heard this. This sentence had undoubtedly brought them more than 20% of their profits.
Lu An slowly walked down from the stage. The 16 Level 4 Alchemists on the stage and countless people below the stage were looking at him. When he walked into the crowd, everyone consciously made way for him.
Soon, Lu An arrived at the Dong Family's Chamber of Commerce. Dong Hao excitedly came to Lu An's side. He had already calmed down, but he was still very excited.
"I didn't let you down," Lu An said with a smile as he looked at the crowd in front of him.
When the members of the Dong Family's Chamber of Commerce heard this, they rushed to Lu An's side and lifted Lu An up high. Then, they threw him into the sky. They were so happy and excited that their bodies were filled with energy. They couldn't find any other way to celebrate.
In a corner of the surrounding pavilion, Beauty Yang stood under the sunlight and watched this scene. A smile appeared on her face. Under the sunlight, she was especially dazzling. She was as beautiful as a melting iceberg.
From the looks of it, she really didn't follow the wrong person.

Nightfall.
At noon, Dong Hao booked a tavern. The members of the Dong Family's Chamber of Commerce were eating and drinking wantonly inside, as if they wanted to turn their happiness into food.
The celebration banquet continued until now. The members of the Dong Family's Chamber of Commerce were basically drunk. The servants sent the alchemists back one by one. Dong Hao was no exception. If there was anyone in the Dong Family who was happy, it was only Dong Jie.
Lu An naturally wouldn't get drunk. His alcohol tolerance was comparable to others in the Shang Qi Kingdom. Therefore, Lu An and Dong Jie walked together in the direction of the Dong Family's Chamber of Commerce.
The streets were a little dark at night. There were lanterns outside the doors of the houses on both sides of the street. This pair of talented and beautiful people walking on the street looked like a couple.
The two hadn't talked for a long time. It had been a month since Dong Jie went to find Lu An. It was too awkward to walk without talking. After thinking for a while, Lu An opened his mouth and asked, "How are you and your sweetheart …?"
Dong Jie was startled. Then, she revealed a bitter smile and said, "Father still didn't agree. I went to petition him, but he was furious. Later … "
Lu An frowned slightly and looked at Dong Jie.
"Later, father went to find him and gave him a lot of money." Dong Jie lowered her head and said, "When I went to find him again, he ignored me … and found a new sweetheart."
Lu An was startled. His frown deepened. He thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure? Wasn't it just a show to make you believe? "
Dong Jie shook her head. Her voice was a little choked. She said softly, "I hope so. Later, I asked a friend of mine to help me keep an eye on him. I found that he really had a new sweetheart. Not only that … he had more than one new sweetheart. When he was with me, he was with other women. "
"…" Lu An was silent. He didn't say anything.
Dong Jie smiled. She looked up and said, "It seems that I was obsessed. Father said that he wasn't good, but I didn't believe him."
"No matter what, it's good that you saw it clearly." Lu An said, "I believe that you will find a really good person in the future."
When Lu An said this, Dong Jie's eyes flashed as she looked at him seriously.
Lu An was startled. He wasn't stupid. It wasn't that he hadn't seen such a look before. He knew what it meant.
Therefore, he looked at the road ahead. Then, he turned to Dong Jie and said with a smile, "I'll go back first. I have to write a letter to my sweetheart."
