"fear!"
"Uh, terrifying!?"
Luo Juan was stunned for a moment after hearing her father's words.
It's just a roasted taro, how did it become terrifying? When I was a kid, when I went to the countryside, we roasted ten or eight taro every day.
Does my father even know what he's saying?
"That's right. I've met countless people in my life. I can tell what kind of person someone is just from a glance or a gesture."
"But today, I can't see through him at all."
"I must say, being able to serve as the director of the Dragon Capture Bureau is truly extraordinary! Your brother's death at his hands is no injustice!"
Luo's father spoke his mind directly, feeling that Yang Lu had taught him a harsh lesson.
He didn't believe Yang Lu was simply roasting taro. Why roast taro here of all times and places?
Even someone with a negative IQ would probably know that this is not the right thing to do.
But he did it anyway; this guy is definitely up to something big!
After all, the Li family paid a huge price to ask him to help, so there was no way he could just give them roasted taro as a token of his gratitude!
"Dad, you're not overthinking this, are you?! Maybe he's just bored and roasting taro..."
After listening to her father's serious analysis, Luo Juan was speechless for a moment.
She felt that her father was overinterpreting things.
In my opinion, this guy is just roasting taro! He's not refining pills or anything like that.
"Girl, you're still too young! The Luo family can't afford to offend someone like that!"
"We can't afford to offend them?!"
Luo Juan felt a sudden unease at her father's words.
I just tried to contact the Crimson Mercenary Group, but unfortunately I haven't received any reply.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or related to this guy... I hope it's the former.
"They're almost done baking!"
After checking the time, Yang Lu took the taro out of the alchemy furnace.
The moment he took it out, a strong aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted out.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two more people nearby exploded their cores, the reason being that they were completely speechless at Yang Lu's antics.
This guy is really roasting taro!
They were initially thinking that he was ostensibly roasting taro, but actually using it as a cover to refine some powerful elixir!
But now they know that this guy is completely roasting taro!
How can there be such bizarre people these days!
However, they were no longer in the mood to laugh at others, since they had also lost their eligibility to compete because of the explosion of the core.
It's true what they say: laughing at others while lagging behind.
At this moment, the other alchemists also stopped what they were doing.
Some people were saddened by their failed alchemy attempts, while others were overjoyed by their successful ones!
Limitless Pill, Beauty Pill... they have everything! The most outrageous thing is that someone actually refined a sixth-grade pill, the Soul-Chasing Pill!
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be the winner of this alchemy competition.
"The truly remarkable figures are those of today!"
Zheng Qiang, who had successfully refined a sixth-grade pill, was very proud of himself. He stood there with his hands behind his back and his chest puffed out.
At this moment, he was full of vigor and arrogance!
I imagine myself starting alchemy at age three, becoming a first-level alchemist at fifteen, and then gradually making my way to this stage.
Today, on this occasion, having successfully refined a sixth-grade pill, he felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life!
If nothing unexpected happens, I've probably become the center of attention by now!
But Zheng Qiang soon realized that none of the nearly one thousand people below the stage were paying attention to him.
And all attention was focused on the 2,906 people.
Are you kidding me?! What kind of eyes are you looking at?! I'm number one, okay?!
But when he saw Yang Lu take out one taro after another from the alchemy furnace, he was stunned.
You can do it like that?!
"Holy crap, 2906 actually baked a whole furnace of taro!"
"I thought he had some backup plan!"
"He seems to be an alchemist from the Li family in Anzhou."
"Has the Li family gone mad?! They hired such a taro-roasting chef?!"
"Are they trying to make enemies of all the alchemy families in China?!"
It has to be said that Yang Lu is now pulling out one roasted sweet potato after another from the alchemy furnace, and the destructive power is no less than Ultraman being tortured by monsters.
Brother, this is a pill refining competition held every few years, representing the highest honor competition for Chinese pill refiners.
All the alchemists were doing their utmost, using every trick in the book. Some first-grade alchemists were even trying to make mid-grade pills!
All he wanted was to achieve a breakthrough, but what did he do? He roasted sweet potatoes at the alchemy competition!?
His behavior is an insult to all alchemists!
At this moment, it could be said that all the alchemists were looking at Yang Lu with murderous eyes.
Doesn't his conscience hurt at all?!
If they were him, they would just smash their heads against the alchemy furnace! That would be the end of it all!
"Sister, this time our Li family is probably going to..."
Li Yun's face had turned a deep soy sauce color, and she could feel the anger in these people's hearts.
It's clear that they not only came in last place in this Alchemy Association competition, but they'll also likely face the hatred of the major alchemy families in the future!
If I had known, I would have just found any alchemist; they would have been more reliable than this guy!
I'm sure my older sister won't speak up for him anymore now!
