379: Alchemist Conference

The moment he touched the first three words on the page, all the information about “Sacred Dragon Transformation” entered Lu Xingchen’s mind.

In just a few seconds, he had mastered this heaven rank middle grade Martial Skill, as if he had been immersed in it for many years.

This was all thanks to the System’s help.

No choice, who told us we had a cheat?

Activating “Sacred Dragon Transformation” required powerful Dragon Power, but the activation methods for the Human Race and Dragon Clan were different.

Senior Li Xuejun was truly astonishing to be able to extrapolate and create a version of “Sacred Dragon Transformation” that the Human Race could use!

After learning Sacred Dragon Transformation, Lu Xingchen couldn't wait to test its power.

His original Realm was Two-Star Martial Venerable, but after using “Sacred Dragon Transformation,” he could directly advance three minor Realms, reaching Five-Star Martial Venerable, and his Physical Body strength would also greatly increase.

The effect of “Sacred Dragon Transformation” was even stronger than “Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit” and “Moon Gazing Art” combined.

As expected of a heaven rank middle grade Martial Skill!

Immediately, Lu Xingchen tried to activate all three secret techniques simultaneously.

“Moon Gazing Art” raised his Realm to Three-Star Martial Venerable, “Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit” raised it to Four-Star, and “Sacred Dragon Transformation” raised it to Six-Star.

Now, with just his Two-Star Martial Venerable Cultivation, he could face a Six-Star Martial Venerable Realm expert directly, and with his other trump cards, his combat power was simply immeasurable!

When the three secret techniques were used together, “Sacred Dragon Transformation” could only raise him by two minor Realms.

However, this was normal; the higher one climbed, the greater the gap between each minor Realm.

Early the next morning, Xiao You knocked on the door on time.

“Xingchen, wake up, Elder Ming Bi is already waiting at the door!”

“Alright!”

Lu Xingchen sprang out of bed with a carp jump, then followed everyone to the Snake Clan to visit their territory.

The Snake Clan’s territory was enormous, larger than the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan combined.

This was because the Snake Clan had the largest population among the three major clans, and it was their numerical advantage that allowed them to become one of the three influential clans.

One day was not enough to survey all of the Snake Clan’s territory, so everyone only visited some important sights.

Thus, a day passed.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the giant Teleportation Array in the Center of the Demon Domain, preparing to return to the Central Continent.

You Ling and Xiao You’s parents came to the entrance to see them off.

You Ling and You Potian embraced tightly, their eyes red.

“Xiao Tian, once you leave the Demon Domain, there will be no one to look after you. You must protect yourself!”

You Potian patted You Ling’s back and chuckled, “Mom, don’t worry so much. I’m an Eighth Rank Three-Star expert after all. There aren’t many people in this world who can hurt me.”

“What’s more, I have Li Changbai as a companion; he’s someone who can repel a Saint!”

Li Changbai smiled wryly at the side, “A full-power strike barely made a Saint retreat three steps. Is that called repelling a Saint? You Potian, you’re really exaggerating my abilities!”

The mother and son embraced tightly. After a long while, You Ling finally let go.

You Potian and Li Changbai nodded in acknowledgment, then everyone stepped into the Teleportation Array.

Before their eyes, the scenery shifted, and a sense of weightlessness came over them.

When Lu Xingchen landed on the ground again, he was already back in Wangshu City.

You Potian and Xiao You both entered their mount space.

They had no interest in participating in the duo’s social interactions, so they stayed in the mount space to Cultivate.

Lu Xingchen also used the disguise art Yun Li had given him again, reverting to the appearance of “Lu Dazhuang.”

Seeing this, Zuoqiu Qingluo pouted.

“Lu Xingchen, you’re really low-key, changing your face as soon as you return to the Central Continent. This face isn’t as handsome as your original!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “No choice, to avoid being ambushed by villains, I can only hide my identity. I’ll change back to my original face when I enter the Saint Realm!”

Zuoqiu Qingluo softly said, “All previous War Gods possessed Saint Realm Cultivation. As the Fifth-Generation War God, entering the Saint Realm shouldn’t be a problem for you. I’m miserable, though; I wonder if I’ll ever be able to enter the Saint Realm in my lifetime?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Everyone has their specialty. Miss Qingluo is proficient in divination, capable of predicting the future, and I hear your Prophecy Technique is not inferior to the current Tianji Pavilion Master. Your status in the Central Continent is not worse than a Saint.”

Zuoqiu Qingluo then smiled, raising her head slightly.

“You’re quite the smooth talker, kid!”

Then everyone walked out of the Teleportation Array and flew towards Lingyun Sect.

Back at Lingyun Sect, Lin Xu and Zuoqiu Qingluo each went back to rest, while Lu Xingchen and Li Changbai went to Sect Master Peak, to Jiang Taishen’s Immortal Cave.

Jiang Taishen called the two into the conference room and said with a smile, “Li Changbai, was your trip to the Demon Domain smooth this time? Did you achieve your goal?”

Li Changbai nodded heavily and said with a smile, “I did. I formed a partner contract with You Potian, an Eighth Rank Three-Star member of the Youming Royal Family. With his help, my combat power will greatly increase!”

“But that’s not the main point. Teacher, in the Demon Domain, Junior Brother and Lin Xu teamed up and defeated the White Dragon Clan’s Saint!”

Hearing this, Jiang Taishen directly crushed the teacup in his hand.

“What?! What did you say? Xingchen, with only Two-Star Martial Venerable Cultivation, was able to defeat a Saint?”

Li Changbai chuckled, “Let me explain it to you slowly, Teacher!”

Then he recounted everything that happened during their trip to the Demon Domain to Jiang Taishen.

Jiang Taishen frowned deeply, and after a long while, he let out a sigh of relief.

“So that’s what happened! I thought Xiao Chen you could truly defeat a Saint. Your help to Lin Aotian is commendable; although the Alliance between the two races is still far off, at least a glimmer of hope has appeared.”

“But you must not become arrogant or publicize this matter. You defeated Bai Cang purely by luck; it’s hard to have a second chance. If outsiders overestimate your strength, it will have a very negative impact on future battles.”

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, “Teacher, I understand!”

Jiang Taishen said with a smile, “I trust you have good judgment. A major event has occurred in the Central Continent: Medicine King Valley has released news that the once-a-decade Alchemist Convention is being prepared and will officially begin in one month.”

“This Alchemist Convention is the most authoritative competition for Alchemists, with extremely high prestige, and the title of Pill King can benefit one for life. Only young people aged 20 to 30 can participate, and one can only participate once in their lifetime.”

“Both you and Xu Qing meet the age requirements. This time, you two will represent Lingyun Sect in the competition! I have only one requirement for you, and that is the championship!”

Hearing this, Lu’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

“The most authoritative competition for Alchemists? Interesting! Teacher, I will do my best to fleece Medicine King Valley. But as for the championship, that’s a bit difficult for me.”

Jiang Taishen gave Lu Xingchen a rap on the head and said seriously, “My Disciple, Jiang Taishen, must strive for the championship. If you don’t get it, then prepare to be punished by me!”
