chapter 1226: arrival of the level seven alchemist translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations
the appraisal quickly returned a result.
alchemy skills and appraisal skills were two different matters. even level one alchemistsâor non-alchemists, for that matterâcould be skilled in appraising alchemical pills. this simply required one to have a good understanding of alchemical pills.
ling han had achieved a resounding victory!
he jingyunâs explosive thunder pills barely reached six stars, while ling hanâs reached a whopping nine stars.
it wasnât perfect, but that was because ling han hadnât used the three fire guide. after all, he didnât want his disciples to guess his identity yet.
he jingyun looked completely demoralized. he had lost, and lost in emphatic fashion, no less. the gulf between him and ling han was huge.
âplease!â ling han said with a smile.
âyouâve lost, so itâs time for you to crawl out of this street.â
he jingyun humphed before turning around to leave. he was too embarrassed to stay here.
âoi, oi, oi, use all four limbs, not just your two legs,â ling han said.
he jingyun glanced back, and said in a proud voice, âyou want to make me, a level six alchemist, crawl outâ aaah!â
before he could even finish his sentence, ling han had already walked over and lifted him up, forcing him to spread his arms and his legs. he couldnât break free from ling hanâs grip no matter what. he couldnât help but feel shocked. one had to realize that he was at the low extreme of the sun moon tier, which was the same cultivation level as ling hanâs. yet, he couldnât even resist?
âi hate dishonest people the most!â ling han flung him to the floor, and said, âit was your own suggestion, so youâve got to abide by it even if it means eating sh*t!â
âif you dare to touch even a single hair of mine, believe me, the treasure forest pavilion will crush you into pieces!â he jingyun said in a threatening voice. if he had to crawl on the street in public, that would be humiliating not just for himself, but also for the treasure forest pavilion.
ling han chuckled, and said, âoh no, iâm so scared!â he then kicked he jingyun, and shouted, âcrawl!â
he jingyun obviously wasnât willing to do so. if he crawled, he really wouldnât be able to show his face anymore.
âwhat the f*ck are you? are your promises farts from your mouth?â ling han continued to stomp on he jingyunâs face as he spoke. however, he jingyun finally became âtoughâ for once, sticking his head between the cracked tiles in the floor. he was going to cower from ling hanâs attacks.
although having his face stomped on wasnât anything glorious, it was at least still better than crawling along the street in public.
âgrandmaster ling, itâs about time you stopped,â alchemist hu and the others said in persuasion.
ling han smiled, and said, âfine! which of you is going to crawl out of the street for him? iâll let him go if any of you volunteer.â
the members of the treasure forest pavilion all exchanged a glance. they then shook their heads in unison. what a jokeâhe jingyun cared about face, so why wouldnât they care about face too?
âhurry up and call for reinforcements!â
they attempted to keep ling han in check as they waited for the treasure forest pavilionâs reinforcements.
ling han didnât mind this. even if he jingyun didnât crawl out of this street, he would still lose all face after being stomped on by him.
after a while, the reinforcements from the treasure forest pavilion finally arrived. seaÊá´h thÑ novÑlÆire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âstop!â a cultivator shouted. there wasnât a hint of medicinal smell on his body, so he definitely wasnât an alchemist. two complete suns and moons materialized behind him, signifying that he was at the peak stage of the medium extreme of the sun moon tier.
âfine!â ling han answered cooperatively. however, he continued to stomp on he jingyun aggressively.
âi told you to keep your hands off him!â the elite shouted in rage. he reached over and grabbed at ling han.
ling han swung his fist in reply, smiling, and said, âi did keep my hands off him. however, you didnât tell me to keep my feet off him.â
peng!
their strikes collided, and ling han suddenly sunk down. his power was on par with the late stage of the medium extreme of the sun moon tier, though this was still 10 times weaker than the peak stage. however, his physique was incredibly powerful, so he was completely unaffected by the strike.
meanwhile, his foot was still resting on he jingyunâs body. the force of their strikes instantly coursed through him and traveled into he jingyunâs body.
pa, pa, pa!
the tiles on the floor exploded into smithereens, and he jingyunâs body instantly disappeared underground. even his shadow couldnât be seen.
âyou...!!â the elite flared up in rage. he was a protection officer at the treasure forest pavilion, and although his strength wasnât in the top echelon, he should have still been able to crush ling han, who was only at the early stage of the sun moon tier.
however, the reality was completely different from his expectations.
âheh, want to come again?â ling han said as he swept his gaze around. this elite wasnât the only backup that had come. among the reinforcements from the treasure forest pavilion, there were also several alchemists who had clearly been involved in alchemy for too long. in fact, the medicinal smell on their bodies could even be seen.
this medicinal smell formed an aura that steamed behind their bodies, much like a dense mist.
âyoung lad, youâre not going to tell me that youâre a level seven alchemist, right?â an elder said with a humph. there was a disbelieving look in his eyes.
although big trade city was very large, it was only a small city from the perspective of the entire imperial empire. this was evident when looking at the surrounding forces. the most powerful force near this city, the cloud phoenix sect, merely had an elite at the consummate level of the sun moon tier.
thus, the most skillful alchemist assigned to this treasure forest pavilion branch was only a level seven alchemist. level eight alchemists would occasionally come here to refine some pills depending on the branchâs needs. after all, there were only a few elites at the consummate level of the sun moon tier in this place, so there was no need to refine too many level eight divine pills. if they refined too many, whom would they sell them to?
this elderâs surname was li, and he was one of the three level seven alchemists who remained stationed at this treasure forest pavilion branch. he had already stagnated at this level for almost 2,000,000 years, and it was extremely likely that he would never become a level eight alchemist.
however, he was very senior, so he was naturally very conceited.
right now, it was possible that this young ladâwho was heaven knew how much younger than himâwas a level seven alchemist. how could he not be jealous?
ling han chuckled in scorn, and said, âold geezer, all your years of experience may as well have been wasted on a dog! youâre unable to improve, yet youâre becoming jealous of others. this is very bad!â
âyou!!â alchemist li almost exploded in anger, and chided, âyou have no respect for your elders! despicable!â
âno respect?â ling han shook his head, and said, âweâre all level seven alchemists, so how is there any notion of seniority relevant? respect is earned, not demanded!â
âfine, this elder will have a match with you!â alchemist li roared. he was so furious that even his white hair billowed in the air. it was as if he wanted to swallow ling han alive.
âas you wish!â ling han nodded, and asked, âdo you want to bet anything?â he looked at he jingyunâwho was still under his footâas he asked this.
a string of curses raced through he jingyunâs mind.
alchemist li humphed, and said, âif you lose, immediately piss off out of big trade cityâforever!â
âfine! if you lose, then please piss off out as well!â ling han said calmly.
âgrandmaster li!â the members of the treasure forest pavilion hurriedly urged him to rethink his wager. this young man was far too freakish, and his skills were especially profound. making such a wager was far too rash.
âhumph, you people donât trust my skills?â alchemist li asked. there was a look of intense displeasure on his face as he glanced at the others.
the people from the treasure forest pavilion all wiped the sweat off their forehead. they had all witnessed ling hanâs abilities before, and this young man couldnât be judged according to his appearance and age. his alchemy skills were simply unfathomable.
âif youâre defeated, wonât you lose all face?â
âbrat, show me what youâve got. today, iâll let you know the importance of age and experience!â alchemist li started to provoke ling han.
ling han grinned, and said, âseeing as youâre so old, iâll choose my pill first. iâm going to refine the spiritual rain bone developing pill.â
pu!
alchemist li instantly spluttered loudly.
