"We've unanimously decided that this cultivator will be the champion of this alchemy competition," Master Shao said, pointing to Liu Xiaoyuan. Then he asked, "We still don't know your name?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "My name is Liu Xiaoyuan."
Master Shao immediately asked, "Liu Xiaoyuan, we've already agreed that whoever wins this alchemy competition, we can grant them one request, within the limits of our Alchemy Guild. Liu Xiaoyuan, what is your request?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I do have a condition, but it's not appropriate to say it here. Could we talk in private?"
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want Yang Zihan's matter to become public knowledge, as it wouldn't do him any good. Besides, it was better to keep a low profile.
At this moment, Lu Yifeng, who had been silent all along, suddenly went berserk and rushed to Liu Xiaoyuan's side, ready to attack him.
"The championship is mine! You cheated! The championship is mine! The champion of the Alchemy Tournament is mine!" Lu Yifeng, like a madman, swung his fist and smashed it down on Liu Xiaoyuan's head. He didn't use any supernatural powers; it was just the fighting moves between ordinary people.
Since Lu Yifeng had made a move, Liu Xiaoyuan naturally wouldn't hold back either. He raised his foot and kicked Lu Yifeng away. As Lu Yifeng flew away, he finally remembered that he was a cultivator. He immediately used his supernatural powers to stand up and then launched another attack on Liu Xiaoyuan.
Just then, Lu Yifeng's grandfather, Lu Se, immediately stepped forward to stop his grandson's reckless behavior. He was causing trouble in the Alchemy Guild and asked if he wanted to stay in the guild in the future.
Losing the championship is fine, but don't lose your spot in the Alchemy Guild, or you'll really have nothing left.
"Outrageous!" Master Shao said angrily when he saw Lu Yifeng disregard the Alchemy Guild's rule against fighting.
Seeing that Master Shao was angry, Luther knew he was in trouble and immediately pulled his grandson down to kneel.
“Master Shao, my grandson Lu Yifeng is young and has violated the rules of the Alchemy Guild by not fighting. I beg you, Master Shao, to give him a chance to reform, considering his talent in alchemy and that this is his first offense.”
After Luther finished speaking, he immediately tugged at Lu Yifeng's sleeve, signaling Lu Yifeng to apologize immediately without hesitation.
Lu Yifeng immediately came to his senses and said to Master Shao, "Master Shao, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I promise I will never do it again."
"Master Shao, Lu Yifeng still has a talent for alchemy, so let's give him another chance."
"Yes, it's not easy to find talented alchemists. Let's give Lu Yifeng another chance. If he dares to violate the rules of our Alchemy Guild again, we can expel him later."
Both alchemists pleaded for Lu Yifeng, because his alchemy skills were indeed quite good. Besides, although Liu Xiaoyuan had already refined a top-grade Strength Pill, which impressed them, they were still impressed by his alchemy abilities.
However, they still vividly remembered Liu Xiaoyuan's rude remarks to them, so they seemed to prefer Lu Yifeng a little more.
"Master Shao, please, Master Shao, please give my grandson another chance." Luther knelt on the ground and pleaded. If his grandson was not accepted by the Alchemy Guild, he would have nowhere to learn alchemy skills in the future, because he was only a fifth-grade alchemist and could not help his grandson much.
“Master Shao, I was really wrong. Master Shao, please give me another chance!” Lu Yifeng continued.
When Master Shao saw that his two colleagues had pleaded for Lu Yifeng, and also because he thought Lu Yifeng's talent for alchemy was really good, he nodded.
"Lu Yifeng, if this happens again, you're out of the Alchemy Guild right now, understand?" Master Shao said coldly.
Lu Yifeng immediately nodded and said, "Master Shao, I understand. I will never dare to do it again."
Afterwards, Lu Yifeng thanked Master Shao and the other two judges profusely, saying that they had given him a chance.
At this moment, Lu Yifeng hated Liu Xiaoyuan to the core. If it weren't for Liu Xiaoyuan, Lu Yifeng would be the champion and receive everyone's admiration.
But now all of that is gone, and Lu Yifeng has become a laughing stock!
"Liu Xiaoyuan, you just wait, I'll make you pay!" Lu Yifeng thought to himself through gritted teeth.
Liu Xiaoyuan was led into a room by Master Shao and the other two. Master Shao spoke first, asking, "Liu Xiaoyuan, you can state your conditions now."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "My condition is very simple: I just want to go to Yuxiao Pavilion because Yuxiao Pavilion has kidnapped my woman!"
Upon hearing that Liu Xiaoyuan's conditions were so simple, one of the alchemists said, "That's easy. As long as our Alchemy Guild speaks to Yuxiao Pavilion, I think Yuxiao Pavilion will give our Alchemy Guild that favor."
“The three of you, my woman has a pure water spiritual root, so she was captured by the Jade Cloud Pavilion. It’s the one that’s been rumored lately that the Jade Cloud Pavilion has taken in a peerless genius,” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Master Shao and his two companions were dumbfounded. They never expected that Liu Xiaoyuan's woman was actually the newly recruited peerless genius of the Jade Cloud Pavilion.
The person who had just given such a guarantee felt like he'd been screwed over. Damn it, if it were an ordinary disciple, the Alchemy Guild would have just informed the Jade Cloud Pavilion, and the Jade Cloud Pavilion would have obediently handed him over.
But now, the other party possesses a pure water spiritual root. Such a cultivation genius will not be released by the Jade Cloud Pavilion just because of your words.
"This Liu Xiaoyuan, is your woman really the peerless genius newly recruited by Yuxiao Pavilion?" Master Shao was a little skeptical, thinking that Liu Xiaoyuan was deceiving them with the aim of marrying this woman.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Of course it's true. My woman is named Yang Zihan. She was taken away from my woman's home by a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from their Jade Cloud Pavilion, and he even injured me."
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan spoke with conviction and without a hint of guilt, Master Shao and the others finally believed that Liu Xiaoyuan was not lying.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, this matter is probably a bit difficult to handle!" Master Shao said with a troubled expression.
The Jade Cloud Pavilion would certainly not be willing to hand over a cultivation genius with a pure water spiritual root.
Is the Alchemy Guild really going to use force to subdue the Jade Cloud Pavilion just for Liu Xiaoyuan's request?
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that this was a bit unreasonable. It was like if you had obtained something that was very useful to you, and suddenly someone stronger than you came to ask you for it, you certainly wouldn't give it to them.
"I won't make things difficult for the Alchemy Guild. I just want to go to Jade Cloud Pavilion to see my woman. As for taking her back later, that's my own business!" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
