Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 624: Lin Xuan Is a Grade Four Alchemy Master!

Master Song was practically apoplectic. What was the matter with his grandson, Song Tiange? Was he useless? He couldn’t even stop one person! Master Song was furious, and the other Alchemy Masters also frowned. In their view, Lin Xuan was not yet qualified to be here.

Master Song shouted coldly, "Guards! Someone get in here! Throw this kid out!"

His voice was as loud as a clap of thunder. The surrounding Alchemy Masters shook their heads and sighed. It’s over. This Lin Xuan is going to be thrown out. What difference does it make if he forced his way in? He’s not a fourth-tier Alchemy Master, so he has no right to be here. A supposed alchemy genius getting thrown out in public... he’ll lose all face.

All of them felt that Lin Xuan’s fate would be miserable.

The Tower Master stood up, not wanting to see Lin Xuan humiliated in public. He walked over to Lin Xuan’s side and said, "Young Master Lin, perhaps you should leave for now. This is a conference for fourth-tier Alchemy Masters. It’s no use for you to be here. You won’t understand our discussions. You’d be better off finding other alchemy geniuses to exchange insights with."

Lin Xuan held a favorable impression of the Tower Master and replied with a smile, "Rest assured, Tower Master. I can definitely understand your discussions, because I’m also a fourth-tier Alchemy Master."

What?

The Tower Master was stunned. The surrounding Alchemy Masters stared at each other in astonishment.

The Pill King frowned and said coldly, "Lin Xuan! Do not speak nonsense."

Master Song laughed so hard that tears welled up in his eyes. "Kid, you really know how to brag. You, a fourth-tier Alchemy Master? If you’re a fourth-tier Alchemy Master, then I’ll..."

"Then you’ll what?" Lin Xuan interrupted him. "If I’m a fourth-tier Alchemy Master, will you kowtow to me ten times?"

"As it happens, your grandson Song Tiange just finished giving me ten kowtows. Now you can give me ten as well. That way, you two, grandfather and grandson, will be a matching set."

"What did you say? You dared to make my grandson kowtow?" Master Song was practically steaming with rage, desperately wanting to strike Lin Xuan dead with a single palm strike.

Lin Xuan snorted coldly. "You want to attack me? I’m afraid you can’t bear the consequences!"

The tension between them was thick enough to cut with a knife. The Tower Master stepped in to mediate, preventing a fight from breaking out.

Master Song snorted coldly. "Fine, kid! Didn’t you say you’re a fourth-tier Alchemy Master? Very well. If you can produce a fourth-tier Alchemist Badge, I’ll kowtow to you ten times. If you can’t, I’ll break both your legs and make you crawl out of here."

Master Song was thoroughly enraged. This time, he would absolutely not let Lin Xuan off easily.

The Tower Master’s expression changed. If Lin Xuan’s legs were broken and he was forced to crawl out, his reputation would be completely shattered. He would become the laughingstock of Great Xia, and the Tower Master couldn’t allow that to happen.

He was about to try and persuade him again, but Lin Xuan spoke first. "Alright, it’s a deal."

"Young Master Lin, are you insane?" The Tower Master stomped his foot in anger. "What do you have to wager against him? Can you actually produce a fourth-tier badge?"

The others were in an uproar, all thinking Lin Xuan was far too impulsive. The Pill King also shook his head. This kid really is overestimating himself. It looks like he’ll be crawling out of here.

Seeing Lin Xuan agree, Master Song was ecstatic. He sneered and said, "Alright, kid. Now, take out your fourth-tier Alchemist Badge."

The moment Lin Xuan failed to produce it, he would immediately move to break his legs. No one would be able to stop him this time. Not even the Tower Master could protect this kid.

"Open your eyes and look carefully. What is this?" Lin Xuan took out his fourth-tier Alchemist Badge and pinned it onto his clothes.

Four golden flames flickered, casting a brilliant light in all directions.

The Tower Master was dumbfounded.

Master Song was dumbfounded.

All the surrounding Alchemy Masters were dumbfounded.

The Pill King shot to his feet, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The entire hall fell into a shocked silence. Everyone was stunned.

A fourth-tier Alchemist Badge! Lin Xuan actually had a fourth-tier Alchemist Badge! This was unbelievable.

The Tower Master’s face lit up with a joyous surprise. This Lin Xuan really was a miracle worker! The other Alchemy Masters erupted in a clamor; this was completely beyond their expectations.

Master Song, however, was bewildered, his face instantly turning dark. He shook his head frantically. "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could you be a fourth-tier Alchemy Master? How could you have a fourth-tier Alchemist Badge? It’s a fake!" he roared madly.

Lin Xuan sneered. "A fake? You truly are blind. Why don’t you ask the others if this is a fake?"

Master Song was choked into silence. The other Alchemy Masters also fell quiet, because they could all tell that the Alchemist Badge was genuine.

"How did you obtain this Alchemist Badge?" the Pill King asked at this moment. The Tower Master’s earlier expression had made it clear that he didn’t know Lin Xuan was a fourth-tier Alchemy Master, which made things strange. Lin Xuan hadn’t undergone the assessment at the Pill Tower Headquarters, so how did he get a fourth-tier Alchemist Badge?

Exactly. Master Song came to his senses and stared at Lin Xuan. "All fourth-tier Alchemy Masters in the Xia Country must be assessed at the Pill Tower Headquarters. You never went for the assessment, so how can you possess a fourth-tier Alchemist Badge? Even if this badge is real, it’s not yours! Tell us, where did you steal it from? Or did you just pick it up somewhere?"

Lin Xuan stated, "This Alchemist Badge is mine."

Impossible. Master Song didn’t believe him. No one did.

The Pill King turned to the Tower Master. "Did Lin Xuan go to the headquarters for testing?"

The Tower Master shook his head with a bitter smile. He didn’t dare lie about this matter. "Lin Xuan has not come to the headquarters for testing."

The crowd erupted upon hearing this.

Master Song leaped up in excitement. "Hahaha! I knew it! How could you possibly be a fourth-tier Alchemy Master? Tell us, kid, where on earth did you get this fourth-tier badge? Trying to deceive us? How ridiculous! Do you take us for fools?"

The Pill King’s face darkened. He said coldly, "Lin Xuan, do you know the consequences of impersonating a fourth-tier Alchemy Master?"

It was over. The Pill King was furious. The surrounding Alchemy Masters gasped. This Lin Xuan was in for it now.

Lin Xuan snorted. "Impersonating? How laughable. I am a fourth-tier Alchemy Master. Why would I need to impersonate one?"

This Pill King tried to snatch the Anomalous Fire before, only to be preempted by me. He must be holding a grudge and looking for trouble. But Lin Xuan was completely fearless, because he truly was a fourth-tier Alchemy Master.

The Tower Master at his side was sweating with anxiety. "Young Master Lin, stop bluffing and tell the truth. Don’t worry, I will definitely plead your case. There’s still time if you tell the truth now."

If he remained stubborn and truly angered the Pill King, then even he couldn’t save Lin Xuan.

"I am telling the truth. This fourth-tier Alchemist Badge is mine. I really am a fourth-tier Alchemy Master."

The Tower Master was flabbergasted. The crowd was in an uproar. Master Song sneered; this kid was really courting death. He turned to the Pill King. "Pill King, I implore you to act! Punish this kid!"

"Alright. Today, I will personally teach this boy a lesson and let him know the consequences of impersonating a fourth-tier Alchemy Master!"

The Pill King took a step forward, and a torrential power erupted from him. This was the power of a King, and it swept across the entire hall. The surrounding Alchemy Masters retreated one after another. Even the Tower Master’s face turned deathly pale.

It was over. No one could save Lin Xuan now.

The Pill King approached step by step, the power radiating from him growing stronger with each stride. He said coldly, "You have not been tested at the Pill Tower Headquarters, so you cannot be a fourth-tier Alchemy Master. The evidence is irrefutable, yet you still dare to argue. Today, I will teach you a harsh lesson."

Lin Xuan gave a cold laugh. "Who says only the Pill Tower Headquarters can test for fourth-tier Alchemy Masters?"
