Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 412: Did Lin Xuan Absorb the Azure Lotus Anomalous Fire?
The people of the Great Xia Country shook their heads helplessly. Does the Champion Marquis understand arrays? What could he possibly know about them? The last time he controlled the Dragon Vein was just a stroke of luck; he happened to find the array’s key. But his luck can’t possibly be that good all the time. I heard the array at Flame Mountain is terrifyingly powerful. The Celestial King spent months trying to crack it and failed. In the end, it was Prince Dan who had to invite Master Guo, the number one Array Master of Great Xia, to finally break through. How could the Champion Marquis possibly break such a difficult array? If he can’t break the array, how could he have gotten the Anomalous Fire? He must be lying. Alas, the Champion Marquis is great in every way, but his love of bragging is a serious flaw.
"Hmph, he’s bragged his way to the high heavens," Chu Yue sneered.
Feng Qingxue covered her face in secondhand embarrassment. "Lin Xuan, please stop bragging. This is so mortifying."
No one believed Lin Xuan’s words; they all thought he was simply boasting. But there was one exception. A single person who believed Lin Xuan’s words without a doubt: Prince Dan.
This was because Prince Dan truly had not obtained the Anomalous Fire. Based on his earlier deductions, he had suspected that Lin Xuan was the one who got it, but he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure. Now, upon hearing Lin Xuan’s claim, he was absolutely certain: the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire was in Lin Xuan’s hands.
Prince Dan immediately stated his intentions. "Champion Marquis, I wish to trade for the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire."
"I will give you a Tier Three Breaking Mirror Pill, a Tier Four Breaking Mirror Pill, and even a Tier Five Bodhi Pill.
"I guarantee they will allow you to advance swiftly from a Grandmaster to a King.
"Beyond that, what other elixirs do you need? Just tell me, and I will give them all to you."
What in the world is going on? The Dean was stunned.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master gasped. This is an incredible offer!
Chu Yue’s eyes turned red with envy. Each of those elixirs was valuable enough to drive countless martial artists into a frenzy. And now they’re all being offered to Lin Xuan? Has Prince Dan lost his mind? That boy is obviously lying; he doesn’t have the Anomalous Fire. Why would he offer him all these elixirs?
The martial artists from the other clans and sects were equally dumbfounded. What was Prince Dan thinking? Didn’t he get the Anomalous Fire himself? Why did it seem like he was pleading with Lin Xuan?
Master Guo said, "Prince Dan, stop the act. That boy doesn’t have the Anomalous Fire, so why waste these elixirs?"
Chen Benlei and Li Badao also tried to persuade him. "Prince Dan, just admit it. The Anomalous Fire must be in your hands."
"The royal family has already come to mediate. The Celestial King probably won’t pursue this any further."
"You don’t need to hide it anymore."
"You just need to offer the Celestial King some compensation."
"That’s right, there’s no point in keeping up this pretense," the other Grandmasters chimed in, one after another. In their eyes, Prince Dan was still putting on a show.
Prince Dan was so frustrated he felt like crying. I’m telling the truth! Why won’t any of these people believe me? It’s infuriating! This feeling of being utterly disbelieved is suffocating! He felt a tightness in his chest.
He ignored them and waited for Lin Xuan’s reply. In his view, he had already shown tremendous sincerity. Lin Xuan will surely agree. Even if he doesn’t, he’ll at least state his own terms. After all, Lin Xuan can’t absorb the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire, so holding onto it is a waste. He might as well exchange it for a wealth of elixirs.
Prince Dan continued, "Champion Marquis, I know that in a little over two years, you are set to face Chu Zhongtian. With your current strength, it is unlikely that you can win against him. But with my help, you will definitely be victorious. I can guarantee it. Whatever elixir you want, I will give it to you. I will make your strength soar to the heavens."
This is bad! Chu Yue’s expression changed the moment she heard this. The Star Pavilion Master and the others also grew tense. If Lin Xuan really gets his hands on so many elixirs, he might actually surpass Chu Zhongtian! The thought alone made them extremely nervous.
"Prince Dan has really lost his mind. This kid can’t possibly have the Anomalous Fire," Chu Yue said, gritting her teeth.
The others were also full of suspicion, waiting to see if Lin Xuan would agree.
To be honest, Lin Xuan was incredibly tempted by the offer. With those elixirs, his strength would undoubtedly skyrocket in a short amount of time.
Lin Xuan responded, "Prince Dan, I must admit, the terms you’ve offered are truly tempting. But unfortunately, you’re a step too late. I have already absorbed the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire, so I can no longer give it to you."
Hearing this, Prince Dan rolled his eyes. Absorbed it? How is that possible? In his mind, Lin Xuan was just trying to jack up the price.
He said, "Champion Marquis, just name what you want."
"I don’t want anything, because the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire has truly been absorbed by me," Lin Xuan refused again.
When this news spread, the alchemists of the Great Xia Country were left in shock. The members of the various Pill Towers and alchemy clans had been paying close attention to this matter. After all, an Anomalous Fire was a flame coveted by every alchemist. Hearing Lin Xuan’s words now, they were all dumbfounded.
Others might not be aware, but they knew one thing for certain: Anomalous Fires were mutually incompatible. Lin Xuan had already obtained one Anomalous Fire; it was impossible for him to absorb a second. The man was clearly bragging.
The Master of the Pill Tower shook his head helplessly. This time, the Champion Marquis’s bluff was bound to be called. No alchemist would believe him. Such a lie could only deceive other martial artists; it would never fool them.
Naturally, Prince Dan didn’t believe it either. He said, "Champion Marquis, you can fool others, but you can’t fool me. It is a known fact in the Alchemy Realm that Anomalous Fires are incompatible. You could not have absorbed the Green Lotus Anomalous Fire. You should still take it out and exchange it with me."
"Who says Anomalous Fires are incompatible?" Lin Xuan retorted. "Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t. I’ve already fused two great Anomalous Fires!"
Damn, his bragging is getting more and more ridiculous. The other alchemists rolled their eyes. They felt that Lin Xuan’s boasts had truly reached the heavens. You fused two Anomalous Fires? What a joke! They had never heard of any alchemist in all of history who could fuse two Anomalous Fires. It was simply impossible. No matter how talented Lin Xuan was, he couldn’t possibly achieve it.
Prince Dan, of course, did not believe him. He began taking out all sorts of treasures. As Prince Dan, many people had begged him to refine pills, gifting him countless treasures in return. He now brought them all out, hoping to make an exchange with Lin Xuan. But no matter what treasure he presented, Lin Xuan refused without a second thought.
Prince Dan was about to go mad with frustration. He felt Lin Xuan’s appetite was simply insatiable. He had offered so many treasures, yet the man was still unsatisfied. What on earth did he want? This was too greedy!
Chu Yue let out a cold sneer. She had been scared to death for a moment, thinking Lin Xuan might actually make a trade with Prince Dan. Now, it seemed Lin Xuan was nothing more than a posturing clown. He didn’t have the Anomalous Fire at all, which was why he didn’t dare make the exchange with Prince Dan. If he did, he would have taken it out long ago.
The Star Pavilion Master also said, "Let’s ignore this boy. He’s just blowing hot air."
The disciples of the Star Pavilion breathed a collective sigh of relief. They had been terrified for a moment, actually believing that Lin Xuan had fused two Anomalous Fires.
The martial artists from the other clans and sects also caught on, shaking their heads helplessly. It looked like they had been played by the Champion Marquis yet again.
This time, the Champion Marquis was just shamelessly boasting, and his boasts had reached the heavens, only to come crashing down. After all, the alchemists had already exposed his lies.
No one could fuse two Anomalous Fires. Therefore, the Champion Marquis couldn’t possibly do it either.
Looking at the two Anomalous Fires in his hands, Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly.
Alas. A bunch of frogs in a well. I’d love to show them what two fused Anomalous Fires actually look like.
