Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 21: Only the Young Pill King Can Sit!

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Only the Young Pill King Can Sit!

The City Lord’s raised hand suddenly froze in mid-air. His eyes widened as he stared at the badge and exclaimed, "The Alchemist Badge!"

"What?"

Bai Qianqian was stunned. Sun Tian was stunned. Liu Ruyue was stunned. Everyone was stunned. They stared blankly at the badge as if in a dream. How could Lin Xuan possess an Alchemist Badge?

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "That’s right, it’s the Alchemist Badge. I am a Grade One Alchemy Master."

GULP.

Everyone swallowed hard, truly shocked. Lin Xuan was really an Alchemy Master.

"How is this possible? How can you be an Alchemy Master? I don’t believe it!" Sun Tian roared madly. "Your Alchemist Badge is fake! Don’t even think about deceiving me!"

He started to rush forward to inspect the badge’s authenticity but was stopped by the City Lord. The City Lord could tell with a single glance that the badge was real. It seemed Lin Xuan hadn’t been bluffing after all.

Lin Xuan was indeed an Alchemy Master.

"Good, good!" The City Lord’s anger turned to joy as he laughed heartily. "Our Cloud Sea City is truly full of talent! How wonderful! How wonderful!"

For their Cloud Sea City to produce two alchemy geniuses in a row... if word of this got out, it would surely cause a sensation throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty. By then, he too would share in the glory. Perhaps the emperor would even reward him! At this thought, he became incredibly excited, a smile involuntarily spreading across his lips.

"Lin Xuan, since you are an Alchemy Master, it is only natural that I reward you."

After speaking, he waved his hand and brought out another alchemy furnace. It was a black furnace, also of the top-grade Yellow-tier.

"This City Lord always keeps his word. Young Master Lin, this alchemy furnace is for you."

Lin Xuan accepted the alchemy furnace, beaming. "Thank you, City Lord," he said. With this furnace, his success rate in alchemy would be even higher.

The crowd burst into waves of exclamations.

"What’s going on? What on earth is going on? How is Lin Xuan an Alchemy Master?"

"When did he learn the alchemy technique?"

"Damn, I thought he was bluffing. I can’t believe he was telling the truth."

Everyone was going crazy.

The Grand Elder said excitedly, "I told you long ago that our Young Master is an Alchemy Master, but none of you believed me. Do you believe it now?"

"Congratulations, Young Master Lin! Felicitations, Young Master Lin!"

"Congratulations to the Lin Family."

The surrounding people all rushed to offer their congratulations.

How could this be happening? Liu Ruyue stood there, stunned. Just moments ago, she had been gloating, thinking Lin Xuan was an idiot and that leaving him had been the right choice. But in the blink of an eye, she was slapped in the face again. Lin Xuan hadn’t been bragging; he had been telling the truth. He really was a Grade One Alchemy Master. A sixteen-year-old Grade One Alchemy Master! His talent was even greater than Sun Tian’s.

Liu Ruyue began to regret her decision once more.

Sun Tian’s expression was incredibly ugly. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, drawing blood that dripped onto the ground. He didn’t seem to care at all.

His heart was filled with only anger and jealousy.

Why? Why have I been outdone again?

During the Heavenly Dao Institute’s assessment, he had been overshadowed by Lin Xuan, only managing second place. Later, he became an Alchemy Master and felt he could finally hold his head high, believing he had surpassed his rival. But reality had just slapped him hard across the face once more.

Lin Xuan was also an Alchemy Master. Not only that, but he was a sixteen-year-old Alchemy Master—even more outstanding than him.

Can I never surpass him in this lifetime? The thought drove him to the brink of despair.

"Son, pull yourself together," Clan Leader Sun comforted him. "We still have hope. As long as we befriend the Young Pill King, our Sun Family will soar to new heights. By then, you will be able to surpass Lin Xuan!"

That’s right, there’s still a chance. Sun Tian lifted his head, his eyes filled with renewed expectation. As long as the Young Pill King arrived, he could still turn the tables.

The entire Yunhai Manor was still buzzing with exclamations, but Lin Xuan had already moved to the side to study the alchemy furnace in his hand. Its quality was quite good and perfectly suited for his current needs. With a wave of his hand, he stored the furnace away.

Beside him, Bai Qianqian asked in shock, "When did you become an Alchemy Master?"

"Three days ago. I went to the Pill Tower for assessment and became a Grade One Alchemy Master."

"You! You’ve been hiding this too well, haven’t you?" Bai Qianqian complained. "Why didn’t you say so earlier? I was worried to death just now!"

"I did tell you. I said a long time ago that I was an Alchemy Master, but none of you believed me."

"I..."

Bai Qianqian was at a loss for words. To be honest, she hadn’t believed him before, and even now, the whole situation felt like a dream. She asked, "When did you start practicing alchemy? Does your Lin Family also have Alchemy Masters? Who did you learn from?"

"I started about a month ago. I’m self-taught."

"Nonsense," Bai Qianqian said, rolling her eyes in disbelief. "You definitely have a mysterious master. I bet you’ve been practicing since you were a child. You’ve probably been at it for several years, otherwise you could never have become a Grade One Alchemy Master."

In Bai Qianqian’s mind, Lin Xuan was bragging again. How could someone become an Alchemy Master in just one month? It’s too exaggerated. Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

Lin Xuan shook his head. He wasn’t bragging; he really had achieved it in a month. Sighing, he decided to drop the subject and didn’t explain further.

After putting away the alchemy furnace, Lin Xuan found a place to sit down and continued chatting with Bai Qianqian. But just then, a roar came from the distance.

"Who allowed you to sit there?"

The voice was like thunder, shaking the area and making many people tremble in fear. What was happening? Everyone looked up.

They saw Sun Tian, fuming with anger. He stared at Lin Xuan and shouted, "You! Get out of there! That is not a place for you to sit!"

Clan Leader Sun also frowned and said coldly, "Lin Xuan, move at once. That seat is not for you. That is a throne, a seat we prepared specifically for the Young Pill King! Only the Young Pill King is qualified to sit there. What do you think you are, daring to sit there? Get up immediately, or don’t blame me for being impolite!"

So what if Lin Xuan was an Alchemy Master? He was nothing compared to the Young Pill King. He was completely unqualified to sit there.

The other guests also began to murmur among themselves.

"Since it’s the throne, only the Young Pill King is qualified to sit there."

"Lin Xuan’s talent is indeed great, but he still falls short when compared to the Young Pill King."

"Young Master, please get up," members of the Lin Family hurried over to persuade him.

Others chimed in, "Young Master Lin, get up. This isn’t a place for you to sit."

"That’s right, it’s best not to offend the Young Pill King."

Bai Qianqian even pulled at Lin Xuan, saying, "Let’s go somewhere else." She didn’t want Lin Xuan to offend the Young Pill King. After all, he was a peerless genius who appeared only once in ten thousand years.

However, Lin Xuan remained unmoved.

He said casually, "Leave? Why should I leave?"

"I am the Young Pill King. Since this seat was prepared for me, it is only natural that I sit here!"
