Translator: 549690339
After announcing the champion, the much-anticipated Alchemy Conference in Ling Province finally drew to a close, but the impact it had created was just beginning. It was foreseeable that a violent storm would soon sweep through all directions.
Walking out of the venue, Lu Yun saw Di Qing and others who were already waiting for him. Seeing Lu Yun, they all couldn’t help but reveal a kind smile.
“Lu Yun, well done. From now on, you’ll be the most eye-catching rising star in the Ling Province Alchemist Association.” Di Qing’s face couldn’t hide the joy and excitement. This time, he was truly thrilled.
Since becoming a Sixth Grade Alchemist, he had rarely been as excited and happy as he was today.
During this time, Di Ruoling, Deng Yunhui, Yin Hualin, and others frequently looked at Lu Yun, sincerely happy for his achievement.
Lu Yun’s victory in the Alchemy Conference not only benefited him, but also greatly helped the Spirit Martial Prefecture’s Alchemist Association. As members of the Spirit Martial Prefecture branch, they could also benefit from this.
After some casual conversation, Lu Yun asked, “Elder Di, where is President Qu?”
Di Qing turned around, looked at Di Ruoling and others behind him, and smiled, “You guys can go back to the restaurant first, or stroll around outside. I’ll take Lu Yun to meet President Qu.”
Following Di Qing, they bypassed the huge square and headed towards the depths of the Alchemist Association complex.
Along the way, they encountered many alchemists who stopped and showed friendly smiles upon seeing Lu Yun.
Even in some more crowded corridors and walkways, most alchemists would voluntarily make way and nod at Lu Yun with a smile. Such treatment made Lu Yun feel a little uncomfortable.
“Hahaha, 1 didn’t expect that your reputation as a Third-Grade Alchemist in this headquarters is even bigger than mine as a Sixth-Grade Alchemist.” Di Qing couldn’t help but laugh as they passed through a corridor.
Lu Yun smiled faintly at Di Qing’s somewhat teasing words, not thinking that his own reputation could surpass the other party’s.
In reality, Sixth Grade Alchemists were seen as unattainable by lower-level alchemists. They would generally avoid them from afar or lower their heads when they couldn’t avoid them, not daring to look directly at them.
However, this time, because of Lu Yun, these alchemists had voluntarily ignored Di Qing leading the way, not noticing the conspicuous silver badge on his chest.
Di Qing seemed to be familiar with the buildings here, walking through the maze-like corridors without hesitation.
After turning several more corridors, they finally arrived at a luxurious and spacious room.
“It’s here.”
Di Qing had no intention of knocking on the door. As he walked forward, the door opened automatically, and Lu Yun stepped in behind him.
Entering the room, they saw the white-haired Qin Ming and goat-bearded Qu Feng seated in chairs. Chu Yuanyao in palace attire stood quietly to the side. Upon seeing Di Qing and Lu Yun, they all cast a smiling glance.
“Our Ling Province’s most talented Alchemist has finally arrived.” Looking at Lu Yun who squeezed in, Di Qing sized him up for a moment before jokingly saying.
“President Qin, don’t belittle me.” Lu Yun slightly bowed his hand, humbly yet respectfully saying, “This championship was all due to luck.”
“Hehe.” Qin Ming chuckled, his wise eyes flashing a satisfied smile. Without further ado, he raised his right hand, and a ring on his index finger flashed. A black stone box appeared in his palm.
The black stone box emanated a deep, dark light. A burning sensation radiated from it, and the room seemed to have restless energy flowing through it.
As Lu Yun looked at the black stone box, a glint flashed in his eyes, and his calm heart rippled.
Qin Ming slowly stroked the stone box with his palm and smiled, “I originally thought that this fire seed would belong to my precious disciple, but I didn’t expect this girl to be so disappointing…”
At his words, Chu Yuanyao’s pure and lovely face revealed a slightly shy blush. Her bright eyes stared at Lu Yun, flickering with a strange light.
How extraordinary this young man was, not only discovering the problem with the pill recipe at the beginning but also refining a pill with a 70% success rate.
She wholeheartedly accepted defeat at the hands of such a young man.
“This is the reward for winning the Alchemy Conference, a Natural Tinder. From now on, it belongs to you!”
With that, Qin Ming waved his right hand, and the black stone box transformed into a black light, shooting towards Lu Yun.
Feeling somewhat excited, Lu Yun carefully accepted the black stone box and couldn’t help touching it up and down. The slightly hot surface of the stone box was engraved with some ancient patterns and marks, faint energy revealing itself. This should be the prohibition for sealing the fire seed.
“The Natural Tinder, as the name suggests, is born between heaven and earth, absorbing the spiritual energy of the world, and taking shape after a thousand years. This seed has existed for about 1,200 years. Its color is milky white and shaped like a lotus, hence its name, White Lotus Flame.”
“The White Lotus Flame has a purifying effect, which is of great benefit to Alchemists. Moreover, it possesses immense power. In its normal state, it can defeat even ordinary Transforming Origin Realm martial artists. To subdue it, one must at least reach the peak of the Transforming Origin Realm..”
