Chapter 816: Stone Spirit Sword (1)

Translator: 549690339

The news of the rare genius of the Elixir Pavilion spread to the entire Heavenly Cloud City.

It was supposed to be during the Forum Conference, so many talents would have appeared.

It was just that the rumors about this so-called genius were too ridiculous.

“In a short twenty years, he was able to become a Fifth Grade Alchemist?”

“Isn’t that right? I heard this from the deacon in the Pill House. It can’t be wrong.”

“I heard that the legendary Grand Elder personally spoke about this matter. 1 think it’s about right.”

Everyone was very interested in this rare genius. The various large families and forces also sent their envoys to the Pill House.

Various factions had extended olive branches to Li Yuanqing. However, Great Elder Luo Cheng had never revealed any information about Li Yuanqing. Now, he was able to keep Li Yuanqing’s side quiet.

The more mysterious a person was, the more impatient everyone was. There were even many people who sneaked into the Pill House and planned to follow Luo Cheng.

However, they were unable to obtain any information about that genius.

Among the many people who were paying attention, there was one party that was relatively calm.

In the Sword Casting Pavilion, an elder with a child’s face sat on the array formation. The array formation below him flickered with sparkling light.

In front of the old man, a greenish-black sword floated up and down quietly.

At the entrance of the cave, a young man in a black cloak stood respectfully. His entire face was covered by the cloak, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

The aura on Luo Cheng’s body slowly dissipated and a majestic True Force suddenly expanded outwards before quickly shrinking back into Luo Cheng’s body. He once again became that amiable old man.

“Master!”

The man bowed slightly, revealing the hilt of a sword.

“How’s the investigation going?”

“I’m afraid this news is not simple.”

“How is it?”

“It has something to do with Li Yuanqing.”

“Li Yuanqing?” Du Xuan waved his hand, and the green-black sword suddenly rose into the sky and landed on the top of his head.

“Disciple has confirmed it with a good friend of the Pill House. Li Yuanqing was the first alchemist to complete the evaluation. After Li Yuanqing, Luo Cheng directly left and did not participate in the subsequent evaluation.”

“He left?”

The man nodded slightly and continued,” And after Li Yuanqing left the Elixir Pavilion, he didn’t wear a badge on his chest. I guess he’s that one. A peerless genius rarely seen in a thousand years in the Elixir Pavilion. He’s a Level Five Alchemist in his twenties.””

“Hiss.” When Du Xuan heard this, he could not help but gasp.

He was very appreciative of Li Yuanqing’s swordsmanship. However, it would be fine if it was just swordsmanship. He did not expect this kid to have such a high talent in alchemy. In this way, Li Yuanqing would be too ostentatious. What price did Zong Yang have to pay to make Li Yuanqing stay?

Du Xuan had originally thought that Li Yuanqing would have a 90% chance of winning, but at this moment, things might not be so simple.

The Pill House had always been rich and overbearing. If they wanted someone, they would get it no matter how much they had to pay. In terms of wealth in this world, who could compare to the wealth of the Pill House?

“Master, do you think that Li Yuanqing still has the value to continue following up?”

Du Xuan pondered for a moment and turned around. He raised his hand towards Zhang Wuya and said,””Wuya, since this kid is quite accomplished in swordsmanship, 1 think we still have the conditions to rope him in. If we can take him into the Sword Sect and nurture him well in the future, perhaps we can bring the Sword Sect to greater heights under his hands.”

Zhang Wuya lowered his head and said softly,” Please instruct me, Master.

“Wuya, I know what you’re thinking. It’s just that you’re weak on your own after all. If you want to break through the encirclement under the strong strength of martial arts, it’s not enough to rely on yourself.”

“Master, I understand.”

“Go find Li Yuanqing now and invite him to the Sword Forging Pavilion. I have a gift for him.”

“Yes, sir.”

Zhang Wuya slowly knelt down on one knee. His body suddenly twisted, and a sword will dissipated into thin air. His figure also disappeared from the cave abode.

Du Xuan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before saying,””There’s actually such a peerless genius in this world. It seems that if I don’t take out something real, I won’t be able to keep him.”

Nancheng Branch, in a room in the inner courtyard.

In front of Li Yuanqing was a silver cauldron that was burning with purple flames.

Those flames were sometimes quiet and sometimes turbulent. They were all under Li Yuanqing’s control, advancing and retreating freely.

Li Yuanqing’s eyes were fixed on the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace, unable to let go for a moment.

What was refined inside was a Soul Expelling Powder. It was one of the few pill formulas that Luo Cheng had personally given him.

Luo Cheng liked this junior very much. In order to reward Li Yuanqing, he could be considered to have made up for not giving him the badge of a sixth grade alchemist. Therefore, not only did he reward Li Yuanqing with many precious pill formulas, but he also earned a lot of materials from him.

If they were to buy these outside, each of them would be priceless.

Take the Soul Repelling Powder for example.

It was very simple to use. When fighting against an enemy, one only needed to take out a small handful and sprinkle it on the enemy’s head..
