Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 96: Is Lin Xuan a Grade Two Alchemy Master?

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Is Lin Xuan a Grade Two Alchemy Master?

In response to Bai Qianqian’s question, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I *am* a Dragon Warrior, so this Pill Recipe is useful to me."

"Bragging again," Bai Qianqian rolled her eyes. The surrounding disciples were also left speechless.

This kid was indeed impressive, but compared to a Dragon Warrior, he was still a million miles away. The man was all talk. They simply didn’t believe him.

From afar, Qin Xingchen frowned. "This Dragon Blood Pill recipe is useless. What a waste of my time." He turned to the host. "Farewell, Rain Fairy."

With that, he stood up, ready to leave. He planned to investigate Lin Xuan’s identity after he returned and get his revenge.

"Young Master Qin, please wait." Yu Shiqie smiled and said, "Who said this Dragon Blood Pill recipe is useless? Soon, our Great Xia Dynasty will have a Dragon Warrior of its own."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xingchen stopped in his tracks, and the others burst into an uproar.

Bai Qianqian looked at Lin Xuan, her expression shocked. "You’re not really a Dragon Warrior, are you?"

The eyes of the surrounding noble disciples nearly popped out of their sockets. No way, this kid is really a Dragon Warrior!

"Who is the Dragon Warrior?" Qin Xingchen quickly asked.

Yu Shiqie said, "You all know Chu Zhongtian from the Heavenly Dao Institute, right? The number one genius of the Institute, and also the top genius of our Great Xia Dynasty. He will soon become a Dragon Warrior. When that happens, he will need a large number of Dragon Blood Pills. Whoever masters the Dragon Blood Pill recipe will earn Chu Zhongtian’s favor. At that time, even Chu Zhongtian himself will have to seek you out.

I don’t think I need to tell you how great Chu Zhongtian’s future achievements will be. He is destined to become a top overlord of the Great Xia Dynasty. If even a top overlord like that has to ask for your help, imagine how high your status would be. Now, do you still think the Dragon Blood Pill is useless?"

Hearing this, everyone in the great hall was stunned. Even Qin Xingchen sat back down, his face flushed with excitement. If this news was true, then the Dragon Blood Pill was incredibly useful. If he could master it, he would be in a position to make demands of Chu Zhongtian. There were many things he couldn’t accomplish on his own that Chu Zhongtian could handle for him. The thought of a future overlord at his service was intoxicating. With that kind of backing, wouldn’t the Great Xia Dynasty be his to command? At this thought, Qin Xingchen trembled with excitement. He had to get that Dragon Blood Pill recipe.

The others were also eager to try their luck.

Bai Qianqian finally understood. So it’s Chu Zhongtian. That scared me; I really thought he meant Lin Xuan.

The surrounding noble disciples also shook their heads. So it wasn’t this kid after all. Turns out he was just bragging!

Lin Xuan smiled to himself. From the looks of it, Chu Zhongtian indeed has a chance of becoming a Dragon Warrior, but unfortunately, I won’t let that happen. To become a Dragon Warrior, one must absorb the Dragon’s Heart, and I am determined to obtain the Dragon’s Heart for myself. Therefore, with me around, it’s impossible for Chu Zhongtian to become a Dragon Warrior. He had no need to explain these things, however. His only goal was to obtain the Dragon Blood Pill recipe.

At this moment, someone asked, "How can we get the Dragon Blood Pill recipe?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone’s ears perked up.

Yu Shiqie smiled and said, "It’s quite simple. You will compete using your alchemy techniques. Whoever refines the highest quality elixir will be the final winner, and I will gift the Dragon Blood Pill recipe to them."

It was a good method. However, most people’s faces fell in disappointment upon hearing this, because they knew they couldn’t compete with Qin Xingchen. His alchemical skill was the strongest among them all.

"Alas, what a pity. There’s no chance now."

"Yeah, if it were a competition of anything else, we might still have a shot. But in alchemy, there’s no beating Qin Xingchen."

"Damn it! If only Qin Xingchen had just left earlier, we would have had a chance. Now we have no chance at all."

The other alchemical geniuses sighed in resignation.

Hearing their comments, Qin Xingchen laughed heartily. He stood up and declared, "Is there even a need to compete? Who among you is my rival? I’m taking this Dragon Blood Pill recipe. Does anyone object?"

He was incomparably arrogant, as if he looked down upon all other geniuses.

The other alchemical geniuses could only shake their heads and sigh. We submit. Isn’t that enough?

"I object."

But just then, a quiet voice rang out, shocking the entire hall.

Everyone was stunned. Who would dare challenge Qin Xingchen? They looked around, searching for the source of the voice. Soon, all eyes landed on Lin Xuan. It was him—the mysterious Young Master Lin. Was he going to provoke Qin Xingchen again?

Qin Xingchen also turned, his eyes locking onto Lin Xuan as he gritted his teeth. Damn it, it’s this guy again! He’s opposed me time and time again!

He snorted coldly. "Kid, your Martial Dao may be strong, but this is a competition of the Alchemy Dao. When it comes to alchemy, you are no match for me. Don’t humiliate yourself. Just admit defeat."

The others chimed in. "Young Master Qin is a Second-Rank Alchemy Master! He’s refined high-grade Second-Rank elixirs before. He’s easily the top alchemist of the younger generation. What do you have to compete against him?"

"Exactly." Everyone shook their heads, thinking Lin Xuan was arrogant and overestimating himself.

Even Bai Qianqian whispered, "That’s enough, Lin Xuan. You’ve already done more than enough. There’s no need to keep challenging Qin Xingchen." In her eyes, Lin Xuan’s challenge was to help her break the engagement. But he had already defeated Qin Xingchen once; that should have been enough. There was no need to provoke him any further.

However, Lin Xuan said, "This time, it’s not just for you. I truly need the Dragon Blood Pill recipe."

After saying this, Lin Xuan announced loudly, "So what if he’s a Second-Rank Alchemy Master? I am also a Second-Rank Alchemy Master, and I can also refine high-grade Second-Rank elixirs. Why should I admit defeat?"

What?! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Upon hearing this, the people around were stunned. They never expected Lin Xuan to also be an alchemist, let alone a Second-Rank Alchemy Master. This was incredible. It seemed this kid wasn’t just powerful in the Martial Dao, but also a top alchemical talent. No wonder he had won Bai Qianqian’s favor. The crowd felt a sense of sudden understanding.

Bai Qianqian, however, was completely bewildered. You’re a Second-Rank Alchemy Master? How is that possible? Weren’t you a First-Rank Alchemy Master? When did you break through to the second rank? I remember you only became a First-Rank Alchemy Master a few months ago. No matter how talented you are, it’s impossible to break through again in just a few months! Normally, even a top genius would need several years. This Lin Xuan must be bragging again.

Qin Xingchen didn’t believe it either. He sneered, "You’re a Second-Rank Alchemy Master? Do you have the Alchemist Badge to prove it?"

"I do." Lin Xuan took out his Alchemist Badge and pinned it on.

The crowd looked closely and saw that it was indeed an Alchemist Badge.

But at this moment, Qin Xingchen frowned and said, "That’s a First-Rank Alchemist Badge! Where is your Second-Rank badge?"

Lin Xuan replied, "I haven’t gone for the assessment yet. After I pass the assessment, I’ll have the Second-Rank badge."

Lin Xuan had indeed reached the level of a Second-Rank Alchemy Master some time ago; he just hadn’t had a chance to go to the Pill Tower for the assessment, so his badge was still First-Rank. But this didn’t affect his actual ability. He could already refine top-grade Second-Rank elixirs.

But the others didn’t see it that way. To them, Lin Xuan was just bragging.

Qin Xingchen sneered disdainfully. "You don’t even have a Second-Rank badge, yet you dare claim to be a Second-Rank Alchemy Master? Ridiculous!"

Sigh, this kid really knows how to brag. Does he think just anyone can become a Second-Rank Alchemy Master? There are plenty of alchemists here, but how many are Second-Rank? These are all top talents from Alchemy Clans, and even for them, becoming a Second-Rank Alchemy Master is as difficult as ascending to the heavens! How could this kid possibly have the skill of a Second-Rank alchemist?

Bai Qianqian also tried to persuade him, "Lin Xuan, don’t be reckless! If you really compete with Qin Xingchen, you’re sure to lose. It will be humiliating, so it’s better not to compete."
