“You? Challenge me in alchemy? Master Yan, you’re not joking, right? Can you even practice alchemy?” Master Feng disdainfully said, “I heard that your grandson, Yan Gongqing, has joined the Alchemy King’s Mansion. It’s better to let him come…”
Master Yan sneered. “Since you already know that Gongqing has managed to join the Alchemy King’s Mansion, you should also know that I was cured two years ago! I have had the ability to practice alchemy since two years ago!”
“What?”
“Master Yan has recovered?”
Everyone gasped in disbelief!
At the next moment.
Master Yan continued, “Furthermore, although I could not practise alchemy for the past few years, I have been focusing on comprehending the way of the alchemy. With Miss Lou’s guidance, I registered at the Alchemy Union a year ago and became a fifth-grade alchemist… Even if I take the sixth-grade alchemist assessment exam now, I might not necessarily fail!”
The crowd widened their eyes in shock. “Fifth-grade alchemist? Sixth-grade alchemist? Oh my God! Master Yan is so powerful now!”
“Shouldn’t we be focusing on what he said about Miss Lou guiding him?”
Master Feng’s face turned pale as he staggered backward. “How… How is this possible! How can you possibly recover… No, it can’t be! You lost your abilities so many years ago. How can you still practice alchemy?”
“Hmph! Looks like my recovery has made you very upset! Since you don’t believe me, Feng Qingyi, why don’t you come and fight me?”
Feng Qingyi’s face flushed. Gritting his teeth, he exclaimed, “Don’t try to scare me. I’ve never been intimidated by anything. I don’t believe that you can recover completely. Let’s fight!”
When everyone saw this, they instantly became excited.
“In the Tian Zhao empire, one of our greatest values is respecting our teachers. This is the first time I’ve witnessed a fight between a master and his disciple!”
“I’m also curious whether Master Yan has fully recovered or not… If he’s really telling the truth, he has kept such a low profile over these two years.”
“If what he said is true, the Tian Zhao empire will have two renowned alchemists, Master Yan and Lou Qianxue.”
“Although Lou Qianxue has never said anything, both Master Huo and Master Yan hold her in high esteem. I think she must be capable.”
Soon, Master Yan and Feng Qingyi began the alchemy duel.
Both of them were famous and experienced alchemists. Their refinement techniques and procedures were so flawless that it was almost impossible to find any mistakes…
Everyone watched the two of them with rapt attention, their mouths agape. Occasionally, they would exclaim in awe.
Lou Xiaoxiao leaned closer to Lou Qianxue and whispered, “Qianxue, Master Yan will definitely win, right?”
Lou Qianxue chuckled. She was about to speak when…
Boom!
The pill cauldron in front of Feng Qingyi exploded!
This created an uproar.
Feng Qingyi fearfully looked at Master Yan. “You… You’ve really recovered… You can really practice alchemy again…”
He was horrified, his eyes filled with regret. Sweat immediately poured down his body, and he knelt at Master Yan’s feet. Sobbing out loud, he pleaded, “Teacher, teacher… I was wrong. Please spare me this time. I won’t dare to do it again!”
“…” Master Yan lowered his head, looked at him, and sighed. “I can forgive you for rebutting me, but you should never have treated Miss Lou like that.
“Do you know that the person who healed me two years ago was none other than Miss Lou? Apart from that, she also taught me alchemy. She can be considered my teacher. How can I watch others humiliate my savior and teacher?”
Master Huo also stood up coldly. “Miss Lou is also my teacher. Today, even if Master Yan spares you, I won’t!”
