BXBX NOVEL Chapter 199: 5) The Alchemy Contest!
"See you then, Princes..." Bai Lung said with a light smile on his face.
She looked at him but kept a straight face despite a pang of pain in her heart.
"Likewise... See you after the contest, Young Master Bai," She managed to mutter it out.
Their talk was short.
---
Meanwhile the event started.
Around 200 talented youths and trashes were presented here and the so-called Saint tier Alchemist was only looking at Bai Lung and Gu Changgee.
Forget about Saint alchemist not even worms crawling on the land weren’t looking at the so called son of Heaven named Wang.
He was like a stray dog lost in the human group.
Looking at him no one could guess that this guy had came here thinking he would win the alchemy contest.
[Ding! you have attracted the attention and stopped Wang from shining ]
[Ding! Your grand entrance caused Wang to miss his opportunity to by saving a old grandma with his medical knowledge... ]
[Ding! That grandma died to your powerful aura ]
[Ding! You have plundered 2000 luck points from Wang ]
[You have obtained 15,000 points... ]
[You have obtained 1 million EXP ]
Just when everything was going good the calamity struck.
As a cursed child of heaven, Bai Lung couldn’t be the centre of attention getting praises from everyone.
"Grandmaaaaa!!!" A certain someone from the crowd scream in a weird hazy way attracting everyone’s attention.
He was the grandchild of the grandma that died, who was supposed to get some kind of pills from Wang.
And to make matter worse, Saint alchemist knew this grandma, not only was he familiar but he even owe her his very life.
Heaven was two step ahead.
Someone who isn’t destined to shine always gets dimmed no matter what.
But Bai Lung is different...
Because he has revival pill.
Heaven may have been two step ahead from Bai Lung but Bai Lung himself was ten step ahead of his action.
The old hag just died which means some vitality is still in her body, and it’s enought to call her soul back from clutch of lord Yama.
"Oh! That’s lady Muna, I owe her my life..." The Saint alchemist who was currently seated in a throne hurriedly rushed towards the crying kid.
Wang was no different... He instantly rushed there too.
But Bai Lung, he didn’t bother going there, not now.
He knew she could not be saved anymore from hands of Saint tier Alchemist or even Wang... Revival pill is almost hard to get because u need an royal blood phoenix egg to make one.
And getting royal bloodline phoenix egg isn’t as easy as finding a needle on haystick.
The more they tried they stronger the pressure build ups and when Bai Lung finally enters the scene, he would get praise and fame.
By no means Bai Lung is a law abiding citizen or moral creature, he doesn’t care if someone dies, it not like she was going to live another thousand years anyway.
Thus, Bai Lung’s goal is to show revival pill but actually use "Soul-puppet, human controlling technique," to show that she was alive from his pills.
Someone who used Revival pill to save an old woman, he will be the talk from upcoming generation.
He will be the idol, role model to be hero, the embryo of kindness, the helping individual.

The old man went ahead and checked the pulse and spirituality.
Her heart had stopped and there was no spirituality left... But there was still some vitality left in her body and heat was preserved.
Wang also went near since it was perfect time for him to shine and also blame Bai Lung.
’System analyze her...’ Wang said in his mind.
[Ding! Analysed... ]
[She is dead and can’t be helped any further...]
Hearing this Wang gritted his teeth... He doesn’t know why but he didn’t wished for this grandma to die.
"Y-You... It’s you who killed her with your powerful aura," Wang pointed his fingers at Bai Lung.
The Zhao family who had also came here separately were instantly muttering curses under their breath, seeing Wang act like that.
But under the presence of Alchemist Saint, they dare not act rash.
Everyone’s attention was shifted towards Bai Lung.
Even Saint alchemist looked at him with hatred.
But unknown to Wang, he didn’t pushed Bai Lung into flame but he himself walked into it.
"You are right... It was because of my aura she died, one doesn’t have right to take someone else life..." Saying that slowly, he arrived at the public crowd and pulled out a magical box.
The box glowed with holy light.
A strong aroma spread across the entire surrounding.
"hmm... What a strong smell!"
"That smells really good just like my wife..."
"What’s that? It has a strong spirituality,"
Many murmurs were instantly circulating all while, The Saint alchemist instantly got up from where he was and appeared Infront of Bai Lung.
"Revival pill... Th-This is revival pill..." The Saint alchemist said with a quivering voice.
~
Everything turned dead silent as everyone eyes the magical box.
Revival pill?
The legendary revival pill!?
In an instant some people thought it was definitely not worth saving that old woman.
She already died there is no point in wasting such a precious treasure to save her.
She wasn’t going to live long life anyway... What happened has already happened. We can only move on.
"Y-You... You are going to use revival pill on her?" The Saint alchemist had his eyes widened.
Bai Lung looks at the Saint Alchemist with a calm expression, not a hint of emotion on his face.
"Yes, I will use this Revival Pill to save her life. After all, it is my fault that she died due to my powerful aura... I must take responsibility...." He opens the magical box, revealing the glowing, fragrant Revival Pill within. "This is a rare and precious treasure, but a life is worth far more than any material wealth,"
Bai Lung approaches the body of the old woman, Lady Muna, and gently places the Revival Pill on her lips.
He then closes his eyes and begins to chant an ancient incantation, his voice steady and assured.
"Awaken, Lady Muna. Return to the world of the living. I call upon the powers of heaven and earth to recall your soul!"
A selfish nigga wearing a heavy crown named Bai Lung, was quick with hands as even Saint alchemist failed to see how quickly Xian Tian swapped the pills, all thanks to system.
As the incantation finishes, a brilliant light emerges from the ’Revival Pill’ enveloping Lady Muna’s body. Moments later, her eyes flutter open and she takes a deep, shuddering breath.
The crowd watches in stunned silence, amazed at the display of Bai Lung’s power.
Few of them were sad seeing a precious pill get wasted on a old woman while others looked at him with respect.
He was the man, the MAN waiting in the sky.
...
Lady Muna’s eyes widen as she takes in a deep breath, color returning to her wrinkled face. She sits up slowly, looking around in bewilderment.
"What...what happened? Where am I?" Her gaze lands on Bai Lung, and she eyes him warily. "You...you saved me?"
Bai Lung nods respectfully. "Indeed, Old lady. I am afraid my powerful aura inadvertently caused your passing... It is only right that I use this Revival Pill to restore your life," He bows deeply while mentioning that revival pill with loud voice to keep the attention towards himself.
"I hope you can forgive me for this grave mistake..."
The Saint Alchemist and Wang watch in stunned silence especially Wang, unable to comprehend what they are witnessing.
Wang refused to believe this piece of trash was some spuerhero, the super man saving the world and spreading kindness.
A young master that actually helps people? Sounds too good to be true.
....
"Woah! What a great gentleman... A noble heart,"
"Damn, I can feel his precious righteous coming inside me... Ahhh! His presence alone gives me hope for better future,"
"Kindness hasn’t died yet... My blind eyes could finally see the world," a blind man said whose blindness was suddenly cured by Bai Lung’s ’kind act’.
"Tch! Such a precious pill... Wasted like that!"
"It make no sense... A revival pill, if I was that Young master, I would have handed that to emperor in return for thousand of women,"
The crowd mutters in amazement, their opinion of Bai Lung rapidly shifting.
"A Revival Pill...and he used it to save that old woman’s life. Unbelievable!"
"I never imagined the infamous Young Master Bai could be passionate,"
Grandmasters spoke off.
Lady Muna stares at Bai Lung, her expression softening.
She reaches out and lays a wrinkled hand on his arm.
She was just a fake soul created by Bai Lung but everyone was looking at her.
"Young man, you have my deepest gratitude. I did not expect to be given a second chance at life... However, the revival pill is more than what I worth, you shouldn’t have used it on me..."
She smiles warmly,"I don’t think I can reay you... Not in this life, forgive me, I am at the fault here who made you waste the precious pill,"
Such emotional line, few were already in tears.
