Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Blocking Your Path

More and more people began spreading the news of Lou Qianxue’s feats.

“Do you all think that Jade-Masked Blast has really come to Lingxi Prefecture to take part in the Alchemy Competition?”

“I don’t know. If it’s real, then it’s going to be bad for others!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Inside Qingfeng Hotel.

A group of people from the Alchemy King’s mansion, who were present at the place of the alchemy battle between Lou Qianxue and the fourth-grade alchemist, also heard these words.

“They are referring to that woman who came from the Extraterritorial.”

The alchemy master who had wanted Lou Qianxue to join his faction became joyful. “If she’s really taking part in the Alchemy Competition, the first place will definitely belong to her!”

In contrast, another alchemy master, who had previously objected to her, turned pale. “I have a matter to attend to. I’ll take my leave.”

Without waiting for the others to react, he directly flew out from the window.

“...” The rest of the alchemy masters awkwardly laughed. “Perhaps, Master Gan really has an urgent matter. Haha!”

The alchemy master who first spoke frowned. He was quite displeased. “Ever since he saw Jade-Masked Blast and her disciple in the alchemy battle, he has been acting strangely. I have endured it throughout the journey. On what basis should we pacify him and give in to him? Do we still have to treat him as a child?”

“Cough, cough! Master Ling, don’t be angry. After all, he’s different from us.”

“In what way is he different from us? Aren’t we all elders from the Alchemy King’s Mansion? No one is more honorable than the others.”

“But he’s the person who discovered Gong Sunheng, the demonically-talented alchemist!”

“Since the topic has come to this, I’m even angrier about it. Gong Sunheng is indeed talented, but he hasn’t returned to the Alchemy King’s Mansion for many years. It’s already an old matter. Gong Sunheng is not the only alchemy genius our mansion has. Why should we treat people connected superior to others?”

“Master Ling, don’t be angry... Even if that Gong Sunheng hasn’t returned to the Alchemy King’s Mansion for a long time, he’s the disciple of the deputy lord of the alchemy palace.”

“Humph, we shall see. I must look for a person more talented than Gong Sunheng and bring this person back to the Alchemy King’s Mansion for the Alchemy Competition. I think that Jade-Masked Blast and her disciple are not bad.”

“However, Jade-Masked Blast, who’s at that level, might not take part in the Alchemy Competition... Whereas Ye Zhuixun, he shouldn’t be better than Wei Ziran, the alchemist that Master Gan fancies?”

“I don’t believe that only he can meet people talented in alchemy in this world!”

As the few of them discussed these matters, Master Gan, who had previously shaken his sleeves, had already reached another place.

“Master!” A young man dressed in a blue shirt respectfully bowed toward Master Gan.

Master Gan’s face became slightly better when he saw him. “Get up, Wei Ziran. I visited this place five years ago and discovered your exceptional talent for alchemy. I spent so much effort on you. You must live up to my expectations.”

“Don’t worry, Master. I’ll definitely shine at the Alchemy Competition.”

“Not only must you shine, you also have to get first place.” Master Gan’s eyes turned dark. “To welcome you into the Alchemy King’s Mansion, I specially asked Lord to retrieve a third-grade pill cauldron from the treasury. It’s now the reward for first place in the Alchemy Competition this time. It’s a reward I’ve prepared for you. Hence, you must get it!”

Wei Ziran instantly became agitated. “Third-grade pill cauldron? This is great! Master! Thank you! You’re so good to me. I’ll definitely work hard and strive to become first.”

“Yeah!” Master Gan nodded, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes. “However, it seems two people have appeared this time to block your path!”

“Huh? Master, are you referring to that Jade-Masked Blast?”

“Yes! But don’t worry! I have already instructed the registration area to stop further registration. Jade-Masked Blast can forget about taking part in the Alchemy Competition! As for her disciple, he’s also extraordinary, but he has already signed up...”
