Chapter 2016 - 2: Time and Participants
"Because there are many dangers in Dan King’s inheritance, we need to limit the number of people entering this period."
"After discussing with Tianxiang Pavilion, I plan to bring 10 alchemists to identify and find the life-sustaining pills."
"Therefore, from the eight teams that have come here, you must compare and select the ten best alchemists to enter Dan King’s estate."
"Speaking of the alchemy competition, we have to seek arbitration. For this, the Immortal specially invited Master Leicang from Divine Fire Island as the arbitrator for this competition."
When the alchemist heard the word "Leicang," he was shocked.
Because they knew that Master Leicang was from Holy Fire Island and was the Dan King.
For many alchemists in Qianren City, the figure of Dan King was just a legend, rarely seen.
Seeing the crowd’s excited expressions, Jing Lingxi smiled slightly: "Master Leicang, please come here!"
Afterwards, an elderly man dressed in purple emerged from the crowd.
The old man had a bright and clear face, gray hair, and two long beards swaying in the wind, exuding an Immortal Realm-like charm.
Amidst countless curious and excited gazes, Master Leicang slowly walked from the crowd to Jing Lingxi and nodded to the eight forces as a greeting.
"Heavens, is that old man Wang Leicang? He was standing right next to me earlier, and I didn’t even notice it."
Until Leicang stood in the middle of the square, a young man suddenly exclaimed, with unspeakable excitement and frustration on his face.
If he had gone to see the old man then, he would have cried for a pill.
"Alright, with Mr. Leicang here, I won’t ramble on anymore."
"From now on, everything will be handled by Master Leicang."
"Which main team will you choose?
He even mentioned that Ao Cangsheng was too close to him, affecting his Gold Touching Technique."
Upon hearing this, Ao Cangsheng just sneered without acknowledging the old man, taking a large step forward.
Suddenly, Ao Kangsheng and the two elders behind him pulled a small distance away.
This strange move caught not only the Golden Core School’s attention but also the attention of the other eight forces.
That is to say, at this moment, the other eight warriors were staring in amazement at Ao Cangsheng.
The reason for this move was that, except for Ao Cangsheng, they were almost all under 40 years old.
The stark contrast made people from other forces jeer in their hearts.
They thought that the participation of the Golden Core Origin in the alchemy conference was too amusing.
They even sent a big brat to the alchemy conference.
"That kid should be under twenty, right?"
"It seems like it. It appears he hasn’t even grown hair. He’s here for the alchemy conference!"
"For the Golden Core Hospital, doing this is too crazy. It clearly shows they don’t respect these forces."
Crazy? Not necessarily. Maybe the elders of the Golden Core Hospital have their heads pinched in a door."
"Otherwise, how could they send such a young lad to make a fool of himself?"
"Hmph, since this kid dares, I’ll give the Golden Core Origin a hard slap today. Let’s see if they dare to call themselves the number one alchemy force in Qianren City again!"
The appearance of Ao Cangsheng immediately sparked discussions among many people, especially the other seven forces’ warriors, with even more ridicule and mockery directed at the Golden Core Origin.
Seeing those hostile eyes, the two other warriors of the Golden Core School felt as if they had been stabbed in the back. They were ashamed of being stripped of their clothes.
"I’ve had rotten luck for eight generations. It’s not easy for me to attend the alchemy conference, and I’m stuck with this trash!"
"Me too. You said those senators aren’t good at picking such a rabbit."
"With him, we hope to break into the top ten today. I’m afraid everyone can buy!"
Under the watch of dozens of eyes, the two elders couldn’t help but curse.
But Ao Cangsheng listened to all these words.
Originally, based on his temper, I’m afraid he would have turned around and given those two old men a slap.
But in front of everyone, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t teach those two elders a lesson.
Therefore, he could only endure the turmoil in his heart, planning to properly reprimand these two elders after the alchemy conference started.
After all the alchemists selected by the eight forces came out, the onlookers found that there were as many as 20 people participating in the alchemy conference.
Among them, the Shen Family, Tang Family, Wan Family, and Li Family.
The other four were three from the Golden Core Origin, three from Clear Water Residence, three from Zi Weige, and three from the Wan Family.
Leicang glanced at the 20 people in front of him and smiled: "This alchemy conference is divided into three parts."
"The first part is called identification. In this part, I will take out some alchemy materials and some pills for you to distinguish."
"I will rank you based on your Eye Power. You have the chance to enter Dan King’s estate."
"Alright, now I would like to invite all the alchemists here. I have a question to ask you."
With Leicang’s words, twenty alchemists approached him.
Only when queuing up, Ao Cangsheng was pushed to the back by other alchemists because he was too young.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Mengyu immediately showed an angry expression: "These people are too hateful, bullying Ao Gongzi. They are really too overbearing!"
Upon hearing Nangong Mengyu’s anger, Nangong Shouhong couldn’t help but laugh and said: "Actually, you don’t need to be angry. Today, we are here, but we are not more arrogant and strong than anyone else to participate in the alchemy conference."
"Those people are arrogant and oppressive in front of Ao Shao. I believe you will find all these places."
"Hmm, I believe so too! A bunch of arrogant guys, wait to get slapped!"
Nangong Meng Yu also said with a look of anticipation.
When twenty alchemists stood up, Leicang gently waved his hand.
Suddenly, a huge black brocade bag appeared in front of the crowd.
These black bags looked like two peas, as if they were carved out of a mold.
The only thing that made it clear that there was something mysterious inside the brocade bag was the wisps of fragrance coming from within.
"Alright, now you may start identifying. I give you two hours. After two hours, the appraisal ends."
Leicang glanced at all of them, then stepped back.
Before the words were finished, only to see an alchemist from the Shen Family pointing to a brocade bag and saying, "This is Cloud Lake Grass."
Upon hearing these words, Leicang reached out to touch it.
Suddenly, a word "Cloud Lake Grass" appeared on it.
"Don’t rush. Such survival of the fittest must have its reasoning."
"If at the end of the day, someone gets eliminated because they couldn’t speak, it will surely be a slap on Master Leicang’s face!"
Nangong Shouhong looked indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about Ao Kangsheng.
"Thief, if you can make it to the top ten today, I’ll give you my surname!"
Li Tianfeng rushed to respond, suddenly pushing Ao Kangsheng aside, and said viciously.
Upon hearing this, Ao Cangsheng didn’t get angry but coldly laughed and said: "Li, you old thief, you really think too highly of yourself. Even if you want to give me your surname, I don’t like it."
If others found out I have such an ignorant descendant like you, wouldn’t I never be able to raise my head?
"You..."
As soon as the words came out, the fierce Qi of Heaven instantly opened its eyes in anger.
He clenched his fist, just wanting to fight with Ao Kangsheng.
But when he thought about it, he suddenly sobered up. He was now at the alchemy conference.
If it suddenly got out of control, it would surely invoke the wrath of the Heavenly Palace.
At that time, Ao Cangsheng wouldn’t be able to kill people, and it would bring disaster to the Li Family in vain.
