BXBX NOVEL Chapter 165 - 125: The Alchemy Conference s
The next day, Lu Yun woke up early.
“Yunxuan, these are the pills 1 made. Put them on the shelf.”
Lu Yun took out ten bottles of pills and handed them to Yunxuan.
Yunxuan took the pills and asked, “Brother Lu, what kind of pills are these?”
“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, the pills in the white jade bottle are Body Tempering Pills. There are nine bottles, each priced at two spirit crystals.”
“The ones in the yellow jade bottle are Meridian Pills, priced at fifteen spirit crystals.”
Upon hearing this, Yunxuan wrinkled his little face and reminded him, “Isn’t the price of Meridian Pills typically ten spirit crystals a bottle?”
“The Meridian Pills here all have pill patterns, they are top-quality Meridian Pills, so naturally, they aren’t priced the same as the standard ones.”
After explaining, Lu Yun left.
“Pill patterns? Top-quality Meridian Pills?”
Yunxuan was immediately stunned by Lu Yun’s words. He stood there dumbfounded, not realizing that Lu Yun had already left.
After leaving the Fly Cloud Pavilion, Lu Yun first went to Green Jade Hall to buy a batch of Reach Profound Pill materials, and then went to the Alchemist League.
“Haha, Brother Lu Yun, over here.”
As soon as Lu Yun arrived at the Alchemist League branch, he saw Di Ruoling waving at him from afar.
“Why is it this girl?” Sighing lightly, Lu Yun walked over.
As always, Di Ruoling looked breathtakingly beautiful. Her light blue dress with a hundred flower embroidery perfectly showcased her alluring figure. Her hair, black as a waterfall, fell onto her shoulders, adding a sense of innocence and gentleness to her.
However, Lu Yun knew that her personality was very energetic, completely opposite to her gentle and innocent appearance.
“Hehe, I’ve been waiting for you.”
When she saw Lu Yun approaching, the beautiful eyes of Di Ruoling sparkled, she looked quite pleased.
“Wait for me?” Lu Yun pointed to himself, with a puzzled expression on his face, “You were waiting here for me?”
“Yep, yep.”
Di Ruoling nodded her head like a pecking chicken, then her beautiful eyes that were clear as a pond, softly smiled at Lu Yun.
Seeing this, Lu Yun had a bad feeling and took a step back immediately.
He then said seriously, “There’s not going to be any trouble, right? I’m warning you, I can’t help and I don’t have time to help.”
Di Ruoling laughed and came over, gripping Lu Yun’s sleeve, “There’s nothing wrong, it’s nothing troublesome, and I promise it won’t take much of your time.”
A faint virgin fragrance came, it made Lu Yun’s heart stir.
His Pure Yang Aura was increasingly strong now, even if his body was not fully mature, but his heat and Yang Qi were becoming more and more vigorous. The slightest bit would ignite, how could he hold back.
“You…you… stay away from me first.”
“Hehe, Brother Lu Yun, why are you blushing? Are you shy?” While she spoke, Di Ruoling reached out her slender jade hand to Lu Yun’s face.
How could Lu Yun let her get her way, he immediately shook her off.
In his heart, he silently recited the Clear Heart Mantra.
“If the heart is clear as ice, one would not be shocked if the sky falls, despite numerous changes, one would be unperturbed, spirited and calm…”
After his heart calmed down, Lu Yun asked, “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
Seeing this, Di Ruoling gave up the idea of continuing to tease Lu Yun and told her real purpose.
“My grandfather wanted to see you. He asked me to tell you, but I don’t know where you live, so I had to wait for you here.”
Lu Yun gave her a glance, and said annoyed, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Di Ruoling smiled charmingly, looking quite alluring, “That was just for fun! Don’t keep grandfather waiting, come along quickly!”
Soon, the two of them arrived at a hall.
“Haha, Lu Yun, you’re here. Come sit down.” Seeing Lu Yun, Di Qing immediately smiled.
“Greetings, Elder Di!” After Lu Yun showed his respects, he found a seat and sat down.
At the same time, Di Ruoling brought out two cups of tea, one for Lu Yun and another for Di Qing, and then sat quietly off to the side.
He placed the tea in front of him and then asked, “Elder Di, Miss Ruoling said earlier that you wanted to speak with me?”
Di Qing smiled and said, “Hmm, actually someone else asked for you and I am just the messenger.”
“Another person…” Lu Yun tapped his fingers on the table, pondering who could be looking for him and had enough influence to involve Di Qing.
After contemplating for a while without any conclusion, he circumlocutorily asked, “Elder Di, may 1 know who wants to meet me?”
“No hurry, you’ll find out in a bit,” Elder Di replied with a mysterious smile.
After ten minutes had passed.
Unnoticed by anyone, an old man suddenly appeared in the living room.
This old man had a face like antique bronze, eyes like bronze bells, and a pointed chin with a goat beard. He had a tall stature and broad shoulders, looking like someone in his twilight years, but his eyes were bright and his voice was powerful, like a ringing bell.
“Sorry for the delay, 1 was wrapped up in something else and didn’t mean to keep you waiting!”
“Ha ha ha, the president is always busy.” Di Qing stood up and then introduced Lu Yun, “Lu Yun, this is the president of our Spirit Martial Prefecture’s Alchemist Alliance.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun was taken aback and promptly stood up and said, “Lu Yun greets the President.”
Qu Feng, with his energetic gaze, landed on Lu Yun, sizing him up while frequently nodding, “Hmm hmm, your face is as fair as jade and your eyes shine like bright stars. You have a transcendent temperament. You are indeed the most gifted alchemist in our Spirit Martial Prefecture. Both in looks and talent you completely outshine the other Heavenly Prides in Ling Province.”
Lu Yun was momentarily stunned by his praise and didn’t know how to respond.
“Hee hee, Grandpa Qu, what about me?” Di Ruoling, carrying a cup of tea, walked over and looked at Qu Feng with a beaming smile.
Qu Feng stroked his goat beard, thought for a moment and said, “Young Ruoling… hmm… not bad at all, you’ve grown very pretty.”
“That’s it…” The original smile that was on Di Ruoling’s face gradually froze. “What more do you want?” Qu Feng took the tea with an intrigued look.
“All… never mind! Give back my tea.” Di Ruoling snatched the tea out of Qu Feng’s hand and huffily walked away.
“Ha ha ha, that girl.”
Qu Feng and Di Qing shared a look and then burst into laughter.
After a while, their focus returned to Lu Yun.
“I heard from Elder Di that you managed to produce top-quality Meridian Pills in your Second-Grade Alchemist assessment?”
Lu Yun nodded.
Qu Feng continued, “I also heard that you made fifteen furnaces of Meridian Pills in the Alchemy Room and achieved a ioo% success rate. Moreover, almost eighty percent of them were top-quality.”
A spark of brilliance flashed across Lu Yun’s eyes as he continued to nod.
“Haha.” Qu Feng’s smile broadened, and the look he gave Lu Yun became softer. “President… Elder Di said you wanted to speak with me? Looking at Qu Feng’s demeanor, Lu Yun became increasingly puzzled, so he asked directly.
“Ha ha, yes indeed.”
Nodding cheerfully, Qu Feng softly said, “In half a year’s time, the Alchemist Alliance’s Ling Province headquarters will host an Alchemy Conference. The conference consists of two categories: the Second Grade and Third Grade. I think, if you are interested in alchemy and have the time, you should participate.”
“Ling Province Headquarters? An Alchemy Conference?” Lu Yun spoke thoughtfully, not responding immediately.
“The Alchemy Conference gathers the most outstanding alchemists under the age of twenty-five in Ling Province and offers substantial rewards. The Second Grade champions will be given an Alchemy Furnace as a reward, while the Third Grade champions will receive a fire seed.”
“A fire seed?” Lu Yun’s eyes suddenly brightened.
“I believe with your talent and current level, you might have a good chance of winning the Second Grade championship in half a year’s time.”
“Of course, this is if you are willing to go,” Qu Feng continued with a knowing smile seeing Lu Yun’s prompted interest.
“Go, of course I’ll go,” Lu Yun said, clenching his fists.
“Are you sure?”
“Confident..”
