The conspiracy begins to unfold

Lin Xiao gently stretched his limbs.

For some reason, he suddenly felt invincible.

The immense power brought him great confidence.

"Young Master, you've come out of seclusion?"

Su Daji approached Lin Xiao with a look of pleasant surprise when she saw him emerge.

But before she could get close, she suddenly sensed a terrifying energy.

"Young Master, you..."

This terrifying energy made her feel very apprehensive for a moment.

"How have the matters I entrusted to you been handled?"

Lin Xiao asked calmly.

"Reporting to Young Master, everything is ready. During your seclusion, there was an endless stream of people coming to inquire, all waiting for your emergence."

Su Daji respectfully replied.

"Very good. In that case, you can announce later that we will open tomorrow!"

After speaking, Lin Xiao walked directly into the inner room. He had been Cultivating for the past few days and decided to take this opportunity to get some good sleep.

It was just a pity there was no bathtub here.

Otherwise, a nice milk bath would surely be very comfortable.

While Lin Xiao was resting,

Su Daji, as instructed, spread the news.

"The First Alchemist of All Heavens will officially open tomorrow. Only three orders will be accepted per day, and the highest bidder will be granted entry!"

As soon as the news spread,

many non-human races who were paying attention to this place secretly frowned.

This unknown Alchemist had quite the attitude!

Only accepting three orders a day, and to the highest bidder—this was clearly a deliberate attempt to inflate prices!

The next morning,

The First Alchemist of All Heavens opened its doors under the gaze of countless people.

A young man in a Daoist robe walked out from within.

Two vertical couplets hung on either side:

"Above, one can refine the Heaven and Earth."

"Below, one can Cultivate a lifetime of good fortune."

Above, a horizontal inscription was also added:

"First Alchemist of All Heavens."

This display had a bit of a Jianghu charlatan feel to it.

The young man was Lin Xiao.

At this moment, he sat quietly before the mat, his eyes closed, and outsiders could not discern any details on his face.

Su Daji stood behind him.

Before them, a considerable number of people had already gathered.

"May I ask if you are the Alchemy Master who refined the eighth-grade elixir?"

A non-human race stepped forward, his voice loud, with a hint of suspicion in his tone.

The young man before him seemed too young, and his appearance did not quite match the image they had in their minds.

"That would be me."

Lin Xiao opened his eyes, looked around, and admitted his identity as an Alchemist.

"How do you go about this Alchemy business?"

"Elixirs from the first to ninth grade can all be refined, as long as the price is right!"

Upon hearing this,

many people rubbed their ears.

What did they hear?

The young man in front of them actually said he could refine ninth-grade elixirs?

He must be bragging!

A spy from a major power secretly stepped forward.

"Great Master, you say you can refine ninth-grade elixirs. How do you prove it?"

Ninth-grade!

Among the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky, such a Medicinal Pill was absolutely rare!

Not to mention them, even those behind them had never seen a ninth-grade Medicinal Pill.

Regarding this,

Lin Xiao did not explain, but merely pointed to the sky above his head.

"First Alchemist of All Heavens!"

The prestige was fully displayed!

For a long time, people kept coming forward to inquire about various trivial matters.

Lin Xiao explained each one, which made them increasingly convinced.

The young man in front of them seemed to genuinely have something, not a fraud!

"Great Master, I would like to ask you to refine a seventh-grade elixir!"

The first customer appeared!

This person stated his need: he wanted a seventh-grade elixir to enhance his physical strength.

As the first customer,

Lin Xiao did not charge him an exorbitant price, only asking for three portions of the Medicinal Pill's ingredients.

But even with such a low price, that person still gritted his teeth for a long time.

His money didn't come easily; it was accumulated over time by risking his life.

With the ingredients in hand, everyone watched to see what the First Alchemist of All Heavens would do next.

And Lin Xiao, in order to establish his reputation, chose to perform Alchemy publicly!

He directly opened the furnace and began refining under everyone's gaze!

Heavenly Furnace Refinement!

Using heaven and earth as the furnace, and the Origin of all things as the restraint, he refined elixirs from a distance!

This kind of operation truly stunned countless people; they had never seen such a spectacle and were all utterly shocked!

A moment later,

The Medicinal Pill was formed!

A rich pill fragrance wafted freely in the air, incredibly enticing.

This Medicinal Pill was precisely a seventh-grade elixir, the Body-Breaking Pill, whose efficacy was to enhance physical strength, and its value was considerable!

Lin Xiao handed the newly refined seventh-grade elixir to the customer under everyone's watchful eyes.

This customer trembled slightly.

He carefully held the seventh-grade elixir with both hands, feeling the energy emanating from within, which made him ecstatic.

He immediately expressed his thanks and disappeared from the scene.

Lin Xiao returned to his seat.

"There are still two Alchemy slots remaining for today, to the highest bidder!"

This truly ignited the excitement!

He wasn't a fraud!

He really could perform Alchemy!

Everyone present became excited, crowding forward, loudly shouting that they wanted elixirs refined.

The scene became somewhat uncontrollable for a time.

Everyone wanted elixirs refined, and no one would yield!

Who among those present would be afraid of whom?

The competition became so fierce that they almost came to blows!

But the rule was that the highest bidder would win. If you wanted an elixir refined, fine, pay up!

These were the conditions Lin Xiao set.

As long as the money was in place, any Medicinal Pill could be refined!

This scene was secretly relayed by many spies to their masters.

However, Lin Xiao had already seen their small actions but did not intervene.

His gaze turned towards the sky, his heart stirring with anticipation, as if expecting something.

Not long after,

Several figures exuding powerful auras appeared at the location.

Each of them radiated extremely terrifying fluctuations around their bodies, affecting the very space.

As soon as they appeared, the previously chaotic scene instantly quieted down considerably.

"It's the Martial Venerables!"

"As expected, they came. Now I'm completely out of luck!"

"Not necessarily. I have plenty of time; I can wait!"

Many people knew that the moment the Martial Venerables appeared, the Alchemy slots for the day would no longer be theirs.

Lin Xiao looked at these Martial Venerables, feeling the fluctuations emanating from their bodies, constantly assessing them in his mind.

One of the Martial Venerables had eyes like burning torches, deep and profound. He subtly observed Lin Xiao.

"First Alchemist of All Heavens, truly extraordinary in spirit!"

"Martial Venerable, you flatter me."

Lin Xiao responded with a smile.

"Hahaha, I am Hua Rongdao. May I ask Great Master your name?"

"I am Lin Xiao."

"So it is Master Lin. I've long heard of you, I've long heard of you."

The two conversed happily, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

"Master Lin, may I ask if you would be willing to move aside? Hua and these fellow Daoists have come this time to conspire with you on a grand plan!"

Hua Rongdao stated the purpose of their visit.

An Alchemy Master

represented endless wealth!

As some of the most powerful forces in Zhenlong Pass, they wanted to firmly control this wealth in their hands.

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Hua Rongdao's face lit up with joy. He had originally thought that if the other party was unwilling, he would find an opportunity to forcibly take action.

A person with only Alchemy skills but no strength was destined to have a very tragic end in a man-eating place like the Eternal Tribulation Battlefield.

But since the other party was so cooperative, they weren't entirely unwilling to leave him some scraps.

Little did they know,

Lin Xiao also had his own plans.

The speed of making money through Alchemy was indeed fast, but it wasn't as fast as making money through robbery!

This Breakthrough made Lin Xiao once again feel uncertain about his own strength.

He only knew that he was ridiculously powerful now.

Both sides displayed a friendly smile to each other.

Who was the prey and who was the hunter? No one would know until the very last moment.

And so,

under everyone's gaze,

this First Alchemist of All Heavens left the place with several Martial Venerables.

Before leaving, Lin Xiao gave Su Daji some final instructions.

He had a premonition

that something unexpected might happen during this discussion.
