Honestly, being able to refine the Qingming True Pill was mostly thanks to the

20,000 Spirit Stones that Elder Qin had sent yesterday. If it weren’t for those Spirit Stones, which allowed him to have more Alchemy materials in his pocket, Yang Chen wouldn’t have had the ability to defeat Xiao Yunfeng today.

It couldn’t be helped. No matter how powerful you were, or how strong your Alchemy skills were, without Alchemy materials, you wouldn’t be able to refine anything.

This was also the reason why Xiao Yunfeng, being from the North Mountain Main City, was almost guaranteed to win the championship. Having both talent and materials, as well as a precious pill furnace, how could he lose to a nobody without background, materials, or pill furnace?

Now that he had won, Yang Chen wasn’t going to pretend to be nice to this Xiao Yunfeng. He said calmly, “Brother Xiao, you’ve been very generous. It seems that your Alchemy skills are not quite there yet. I advise you to find a more precious pill furnace next time, otherwise, don’t brag too soon.”

Listening to Yang Chen’s words, clearly mimicking what he had taunted Fan Shijie with earlier, Xiao Yunfeng’s face flushed with anger. What right did an unknown like Yang Chen have to ridicule him?

He was an Alchemy genius personally cultivated by North Mountain Main City.

His status and position were far superior to Yang Chen’s.

Yang Chen had no right to ridicule him.

However, just as he was about to get angry, Old Hu suddenly floated down slowly and waved his hand: “Xiao Yunfeng, you may leave.”

“Master Hu…” Xiao Yunfeng, listening to Old Hu’s words, stood in place, his body tensed, obviously not willing to give up easily.

This caused Old Hu’s tone to change abruptly: “What, Xiao Yunfeng, are you not going to listen to my words either?”

Although Xiao Yunfeng was unwilling, he had to admit that he was no match for the temper of the North Mountain Main City’s number one Alchemy master.

He could only reply, “Yes, Master Hu!”

With that, Xiao Yunfeng gave Yang Chen a resentful look, then stormed off.

Yang Chen naturally didn’t take Xiao Yunfeng seriously. Looking at Old Hu, he saw the extraordinary demeanor in his face, and knew that Old Hu was an extraordinary person. He quickly said, “Junior Yang Chen, I’ve met Master Hu.”

Old Hu stroked his beard, seeing that Yang Chen had won the Alchemy Elimination Competition without arrogance or impatience, revealing his extraordinary character, and couldn’t help but feel admiration for his talent:

“Yang Chen, you have won the championship of the Alchemy Elimination Competition today, which shows your exceptional Alchemy talent. To be honest, I would like to take you as my disciple. I don’t know if you’d be willing?

Upon hearing Old Hu’s words, the whole place was in an uproar.

Xiao Yunfeng’s body tensed slightly as he looked at Yang Chen in disbelief.

To think that Xiao Yunfeng, as a person from North Mountain Main City, had a hard time being directly accepted as a disciple under Old Hu due to his father’s status. At most, he could only receive a few pointers from Old Hu, whose depth in Alchemy had reached an immeasurable level. Even his father had to give Old Hu some face, after all, Old Hu’s Alchemy skills were just too powerful.

As such, the conditions for Old Hu to accept disciples were so high that, up to now, Old Hu had no disciples under his command.

Of course, the most anxious party was not Old Hu, but the Yuan Mountain Sect.

Mu Baisheng was still calm, but the elder next to him was visibly flustered.

They were originally prejudiced against Mu Baisheng for courting Yang Chen so aggressively, but today, seeing Yang Chen’s Alchemy skills so exquisite, how could they not know that their sect master had made the right choice?

At this moment, Old Hu suddenly shouted, wanting to accept Yang Chen as a disciple?

How could this be?

Old Hu was a person from North Mountain Main City, and if Yang Chen really agreed to Old Hu’s proposal and entered North Mountain Main City, what would be left for their Yuan Mountain Sect?

“Yang Chen, why don’t you quickly pay respects to your master? Master Hu has no disciples in his entire life, and he is very strict in accepting disciples. It’s your blessing to be accepted as his disciple.” The referee beside him persuaded.

Listening to these words, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

Blessing? He didn’t think it was a blessing at all. Although he didn’t know Old Huts character, just by looking at his face, he knew that Old Hu was not a small-minded person.

However, that wasn’t enough for Yang Chen.

Not to mention Old Hu, there were very few people in the entire continent who were qualified to teach him Alchemy. At most, they could only discuss Alchemy with him over a drink, and help each other out.

Of course, he would not say such things out loud. He slightly bowed and said: “Master Hu, it’s not that I don’t want to join your ranks, but I already have plans to join other forces. I hope you don’t take offense.”

Yang Chen was already thoroughly disappointed with the North Mountain Main City, so he had no intention of joining them or becoming Old Hu’s disciple.

Moreover, he had shown his astonishing talent, yet the North Mountain Main City hadn’t made any serious attempts to recruit him. It was only Old Hu trying to take him as a disciple on a personal basis that Yang Chen was more inclined to join Yuan Mountain Sect, and naturally wouldn’t agree to Old Hu now.

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, Old Hu could only sigh with disappointment.

He didn’t know what North Mountain Main City was thinking, not trying to recruit someone with such outstanding talent like Yang Chen.

After some thought, Old Hu sighed, ‘Well, my young friend Yang Chen, you have won today’s championship. As per tradition, I will now take you and the other talented Alchemists from the Elimination Competition to our North Mountain Main City’s materials treasury to choose materials. Young friend

Yang Chen, please follow me.”

Yang Chen nodded in agreement.

Not long after, Fan Shijie and the other talents settled for third place, and Old Hu led them, along with Yang Chen, to the North Mountain Main City’s materials treasury.

There were heavily armed guards at the treasury, and a closer look revealed that they were all skilled and profound practitioners, which made Yang Chen secretly feel the terrifying strength of North Mountain Main City.

This treasury was indeed an extraordinary place, as it contained the treasures collected by North Mountain Main City, and they naturally wouldn’t take it lightly.

“You may all enter. Yang Chen, you are entitled to choose ten materials from the treasury. Xiao Yunfeng and Fan Shijie, you may choose three!” Old Hu instructed.

Yang Chen and the others responded in agreement and entered the treasury. Upon entering the treasury, Yang Chen saw the vast wealth of the North Mountain Main City.

With such a vast amount of materials, Yang Chen began to hope that he could obtain the Longevity Pill materials.

In the huge materials treasury, Yang Chen searched for a while, finally locking onto the several materials he wanted.

“The Longevity Pill is just a Tier 5 High Stage pill after all, and its effect of extending life is only average. Now that I have access to the North Mountain Main City’s materials treasury, I can refine a higher grade pill.” Yang Chen muttered to himself.

Five words appeared in his mind.

“Dragon-Tiger Prolonging Life Pill!”

This Dragon-Tiger Prolonging Life Pill was a Tier 6 Initial Stage Pill, and in terms of prolonging life, it was even superior to the Longevity Pill..
