Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 121: All Sides Focus on Lin Xuan

They knew about the top-tier geniuses from the Azure Cloud Pill Tower, and one of them was a woman named Zhao Feiyan. She was not only an alchemy prodigy but also a genius from the Heavenly Dao Academy, making her quite famous. Could it be that she was the one who refined a nine-turn elixir this time?

"Damn, if that’s the case, Zhao Feiyan is incredible! That’s heaven-defying!"

However, the Qingyun Tower Master shook his head. "It wasn’t Zhao Feiyan."

"Zhao Feiyan only refined an eight-turn elixir."

"The one who refined the nine-turn elixir was another genius."

What?

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. Zhao Feiyan achieving an eight-turn elixir was already incredibly impressive. Could there be someone even better than her? Was this for real? When did the Azure Cloud Pill Tower produce such a genius?

The other alchemy grandmasters gathered around. "Quick, tell us who it is!"

"Stop being so secretive."

"Yes, give us a hint! Who is this genius?"

The Qingyun Tower Master looked at the excited expressions around him and smiled proudly. "It’s Lin Xuan."

Who was Lin Xuan? The surrounding alchemy grandmasters looked at each other in confusion; they had never heard of this person.

"It’s normal that you haven’t heard of him. He only became a second-tier Alchemy Master a few months ago. About two or three months, I’d say."

What?

The surrounding alchemy grandmasters were all stunned. A newly promoted second-tier Alchemy Master had refined a nine-turn elixir? Was this for real? To them, it sounded like something out of a dream.

"Qingyun, you’re not boasting, are you?" someone asked, disbelieving.

"How could I? Why would I lie to you?" the Qingyun Tower Master said. "He really did refine a nine-turn elixir."

A hubbub broke out among the crowd.

Elder Qin furrowed his brow, recalling something. His family’s Qin Xingchen had been cultivating like a madman for the past two months, all because he had been defeated by a mysterious Young Master Lin. It was said that Young Master Lin had refined a nine-turn elixir back then. Now, a young man named Lin Xuan had appeared from the Azure Cloud Pill Tower, and he had also refined a nine-turn elixir. Could these two be the same person?

Elder Qin thought for a moment and asked, "This Lin Xuan... is he also from the Heavenly Dao Academy?"

"That’s right," the Qingyun Tower Master nodded. "He’s Zhao Feiyan’s junior brother."

He was a Martial Dao genius too? The surrounding people were astonished.

Elder Qin’s pupils shrank. If his guess was correct, this Lin Xuan was very likely the mysterious Young Master Lin.

Hmph. When I get back, I’ll tell Qin Xingchen this news. I’ll have him defeat this Lin Xuan in public and wash away his previous humiliation!

The alchemy grandmasters continued to chat, discussing the various geniuses until they finally dispersed late at night.

Elder Qin returned to the inn and summoned Qin Xingchen, who had just returned from a gathering of geniuses himself.

"Third Grandfather, you were looking for me?" he asked as he approached Elder Qin.

Elder Qin nodded. "Today, I met up with some old friends and learned about several promising alchemy geniuses. I’ll give you their details so you can be extra cautious during the Alchemy Master Competition."

Qin Xingchen nodded, listening intently.

"The first person is Song Xingyun, the disciple of the Pill King. You know him, right?"

"I know of him," Qin Xingchen replied.

"The second person is named Lin Xuan." Elder Qin continued, "This person refined a nine-turn elixir during the internal test, and he’s also a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy. I strongly suspect he is that mysterious Young Master Lin from before."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Qin Xingchen’s eyes immediately turned red. He clenched his fists and roared, "That guy showed up? He’s really participating in the Alchemy Master Competition too!"

Two months ago, in Celestial Fire City, he had been defeated by Lin Xuan. He had lost not only in the Martial Dao but in alchemy as well. It was an utter defeat, one he regarded as an immense humiliation. That was why he had been cultivating like a madman for the past two months. He hoped to one day defeat Lin Xuan and prove himself in the Alchemy Dao. However, he had never known the true identity of that mysterious Young Master Lin. Now, he finally knew. So his name was Lin Xuan.

"Third Grandfather, rest assured. I will surpass him in the Alchemy Master Competition. I’ll let him know that I am the true alchemy genius."

Meanwhile, Song Xingyun had also returned. His mood was rather calm and composed. Based on the information from the gathering, no one was his rival. The championship was his for the taking.

"Xingyun, you’re back. I have something to tell you," an elder approached at that moment. He was an elder from the Pill King’s Mansion and was accompanying Song Xingyun this time.

"What is it, Elder?" Song Xingyun was a bit tired. "Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

"It’s about the other geniuses," the elder said. "I just came back from the elders’ gathering and learned about a top-tier genius you need to pay attention to."

"Oh? A top-tier genius? Who?" Song Xingyun was very curious. During the earlier gathering of the younger generation, he hadn’t heard of any so-called top-tier geniuses. Could they be from outside the Great Xia Kingdom? Were geniuses from other kingdoms also participating in the competition?

"A genius from the Azure Cloud Pill Tower. His name is Lin Xuan."

"He also refined a nine-turn elixir during the internal test." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Nine-turn. Song Xingyun was a little surprised. From the information he had gathered, the strongest among his peers had only managed eight turns. The likes of Zhao Feiyan, Qin Xingchen, and a few other geniuses were all at eight turns. He thought he was the only one who had achieved nine turns, but unexpectedly, a second person had appeared.

"Who on earth is this Lin Xuan? Why have I never heard his name before?" Logically, such a genius shouldn’t be so unknown.

Song Xingyun was very surprised.

"This is what you need to be wary of. This Lin Xuan only became a second-tier Alchemy Master two months ago. His talent is likely heaven-defying."

"What?" Song Xingyun exclaimed, his face filled with shock. "He’s that powerful after just becoming a second-tier Alchemy Master? Is that for real?"

"Elder, are you joking?" Song Xingyun didn’t believe it.

The elder replied, "I’m not sure myself. To be honest, I don’t believe it either, but these were the Qingyun Tower Master’s exact words. As for whether it’s true or not, we can’t be sure right now. You can hold another gathering tomorrow. Invite some people from the Azure Cloud Pill Tower and see if they know more about this Lin Xuan."

"I understand." Song Xingyun nodded. "I met Zhao Feiyan at today’s gathering. She’s a genius from the Azure Cloud Pill Tower. I’ll invite her again tomorrow and ask her about it in detail."

The elder nodded and then left. Song Xingyun stood there, stunned, for a long time before muttering to himself, Lin Xuan... A bit interesting. He might be a worthy opponent.

The next day, Song Xingyun held another gathering and made a special point to invite Zhao Feiyan. This made her incredibly excited. She spent a full hour in her room getting ready before finally heading to the party.

This time, Song Xingyun’s attitude toward Zhao Feiyan was exceptionally warm. Previously, they had only exchanged simple greetings with little conversation. This time was different. Song Xingyun made a point of sitting right next to her, which made Zhao Feiyan’s cheeks flush red.

Could Song Xingyun be interested in me? Her heart began to pound wildly at the thought.

Song Xingyun said, "I heard your Azure Cloud Pill Tower has produced an extraordinary genius named Lin Xuan. Is it true he refined a nine-turn elixir during the test?"

The other geniuses exclaimed upon hearing this. Another person who could refine a nine-turn elixir, with the same result as Brother Song! Who on earth was this Lin Xuan?

Zhao Feiyan had been excited, but the moment she heard the name ’Lin Xuan’, her expression turned icy.

"Him?" Zhao Feiyan said with a look of utter disdain. "Don’t even mention him."
