LMOU: The Return of the Legend

Refining competition

In the morning, for the fight schedule. The Qin Yan group chose to surrender. The points they earned were quite a lot and had the qualifications to enter the Elimination round. Yes, the fight this morning was the last fight in the preliminary round. After that, several different royal groups will fight in the next round.

Qin Yan sat down next to his friend who was lying on the bed. Although there are also some of them whose condition has improved somewhat and can sit alone.

After waking up, Qin Yan preferred to make them breakfast. Among all of them, Xiang xiang was the one who had not yet awakened. He was still sleeping soundly in his bed, making Qin Yan quite sad. Though this morning was the schedule of the pill refining competition. But, Xiang Xiang did not even wake up. Automatically, he will be kicked out of the competition.

Qin Yan also personally took care of the girl, but after the hour had arrived. Qin Yan was preparing to leave for the refining competition. Because the longer the refining competition is more difficult, and has a high enough pressure. Then even ordinary clones could not handle it themselves.

"You're going again, Dad?" Lin Fin who was near the window, spoke to Qin Yan. He had absolutely no idea that Qin Yan was participating in the pill refining competition.

"Yep, I have business to deal with. I'll leave my clone here, if anything happens. I'll be home soon."

After that, Qin Yan left those who were still silent in the room.

Refining association, Alchemist Guild.

Qin Yan entered the entrance into the association. There were two guards outside, they always welcomed the arrival of the participants even though they were strangely strange.

Different from the Condolization scroll association, the disciples in this association tended to be more friendly and polite. In addition to being used as a campaign area, students in the association use this area as a place to buy and sell. Be it regarding pills, jewelry, medicinal ingredients ingredients, recipes, even refining furnaces. All are provided to attract the attention of many people.

When Qin Yan entered, this area was already crowded with many people. Other than participants and disciples, there were still many others who visited to watch the competition.

That was when, Qin Yan saw a figure that was so bothersome to his eyes. Two girls were standing in front of a merchant and trying to buy something. The two girls were served so graciously and most importantly. They become the center of attention.

"Isn't that the Goddess of fire from the kingdom of Dandun? God is beautiful, as the rumors say. He's really awesome."

"You're right. But, who's the girl next to him?"

"That's probably her junior, she's pretty, too. Incredibly, they really shine well!!"

Everyone was praising them with sparkling eyes. But Qin Yan, for him just looking at it made him want to leave from there.

Of all the people who were praising her, it certainly made the two girls proud. Especially, the girl who was summoned as the Goddess of fire. While the junior. Chen Yue was already standing with a reddened face. For him, he was not used to being the center of attention like this.

"Big brother, you're really popular huh." His whisper was embarrassed, the girl beside him was of course Tang Xinglian. The moment only made the girl spread the charm with confidence. Coupled with the praise Chen Yue gave, making her even more proud and spread her hair like the prettiest person in this world.

"Chen Yue, just ignore them. They will only disturb your concentration. Just pick it up, what do you want?"

"Good." Chen Yue simply nodded obediently. However, compared to facing the admirers who are unemployed they are behind. They were more sick of seeing the face of the merchant staring at them with a lewd smile. Damn it for them. But, they had to hold it because the thing that caught their attention was here.

"Sir, how much is this hand decoration." Ask Chen Yue.

"Hehehe... Young lady, this is not expensive. Just 500 gold coins." Said the merchant while rubbing his hands. How lucky, he got a buyer who looked loyal.

500 Gold coins might not be what price for the two girls. But, such a price for an item like this, was rather quite expensive. It is clear that these traders want to reap profits from them.

"Why is it so expensive." Tang Xinglian said limply with her forehead hand. He even turned back to attract the attention of many people.

"Young no-nona. What are you doing?" Said the merchant in sweat. Not long after, the admirers of the two girls yelled at him in anger.

"Really! The price is too expensive, lower the price a little. Do you want to extort money from a girl?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!!"

"Lower the price!!"

The commotion made by the people made the merchant frightened. Worried about losing his search eye. Finally, he was forced to sell his jewelry bracelet at a low price. From the price of 500 down to 200 gold coins. For the two girls, the price only increased to 400 gold coins.

"Okay, if this continues. I could go bankrupt." The merchant could only grieve over his bad luck, if he were to meet the two girls again. He will no longer serve them.

As the merchant felt crushed, Tang Xinglian and Chen Yue instead showed off the bracelets in their hands.

"How is Chen Yue, is this beautiful? Hehem...?" The girl's smile was full of joy. Their admirers were even more excited. They cheered throwing hundreds of compliments to please them.

As the two girls enjoyed the moment, they were stunned to see the masked man passing in front of them. Well, actually in thinking, there's no problem. Because they are actually in the yard. It's just, it feels strange if everyone here cheers in praise of their beauty. But one person who doesn't even care about them.

And most importantly, the figure made them instantly annoyed instantly.

To Tang Xinglian, the masked man was a powerful rival despite his unknown origin. In the previous competition, he lost quickly in distilling until he was in fifth place. It was fine if he lost quickly to a genius as famous as him. But the problem was, the mysterious masked man of unknown origin suddenly took the first position. Defeated all the geniuses who were even participants of the previous competition.

The girl was immediately frustrated when she thought about it.

Unlike Chen Yue, he did not mind the matter of order. But that back somehow felt familiar to him.

"Wait!!" Chen Yue directly chased after the man. When the man turned around, Chen Yue's hand quickly grabbed his mask. Want to let go but his hand suddenly restrained.

"Miss, isn't it rude to do this to someone you don't know?" Qin Yan held the girl's hand violently. Until the girl grimaced a little in pain.

"Let go let go." Tang Xinglian came to Chen Yue's aid. After Qin Yan released her, the girl instead pushed Qin Yan violently.

"It's so fucking rude of you!! I know he's rude, but you don't deserve to treat him that way."

Qin Yan only silently heard the girl's chatter. Over time he felt fed up, he immediately left them.

"Hey! Stop you!!!" Tang Xinglian herself was about to chase after him but was stopped by Chen Yue. The girl shook her head saying she was the guilty one.

Not far from them, a special room. A girl sat watching them. She had long golden blonde hair, her gaze so calm as a pool of clear water.

"Miss Zue er, the competition will start soon.do you not want to go to the main page?" A man who followed her was always near her. He had a lion in the middle of his shirt. His name was Gu Yimbing, one of the participants who participated in the refining competition with Zue er.

"A little more." Said the girl calmly, her gaze referring towards the back of the masked man. Like Tang Xinglian, he was also curious about the figure that defeated him in terms of refining speed.

Qin Yan headed towards the central area. That area was where the elders refined pills inside the giant furnace.

A fairly large area, each side is flanked by association buildings. Everyone present mostly stood or sat in the terrace while interacting with their friends.

Qin Yan glanced towards where the Alchemists were distilling, apparently still empty. It seemed like the elders had not come until the participants were mostly already waiting.

Just as Qin Yan was standing still, there was someone who accidentally hit him.

"Bruk" Exactly a girl, hit Qin Yan and fell on the floor. Seeing that, Qin Yan helped him up.

"You okay?" Qin Yan asked as he extended his hand.

"Ouch..." The girl was still holding her head down, probably due to dizziness. He remained silent for a long time while grimacing in pain.

When he saw Qin Yan's helping hand, he unhesitatingly accepted the offer. And stood up with the help of Qin Yan.

"Thank you." Say the girl with a sweet smile. Qin Yan who saw it was even shocked. Behind the mask, his eyes grew instantaneously.

"What's wrong?" The girl asked confusedly. Naturally he sensed Qin Yan's reaction even though it was only for a moment.

Despite the confusion, but the girl left, Qin Yan only glanced at her. The girl was none other than Zhou Zun er. Step-sister Weisi. They did not meet for a long time a few days ago. And it was his mother who helped him to enter the competition. Otherwise, perhaps he would not be able to participate in this tournament.

It was seen that the girl greeted another girl who was not much different from her. Their faces looked similar, so identical they looked twin.

'Don't it, it's another princess from Weiqing?' Qin Yan muttered. He heard that every wife has one child. Only his first wife, Xu Tian er, had two children. Zhou Weisi and Zhou Zue er.

Qin Yan leaned against the wall while looking at the girl whom Zun er was addressing. He had Zhong Tian's royal uniform, looking similar to Zhang lizian's. One of the participants of the competition made a Condolization scroll.

'Oh, 'Oh, so so. Maybe she was the daughter of Sangguan Bing er or Sangguan Xue er.' Qin Yan was calm again. He also waited again.

Accidentally, he heard some gossip from the people around him.

"Hey, you heard. He said Xiang Xiang from Sunmoon Kingdom did not attend this competition."

"really? Too bad. He has a fire spirit. In the previous competition he attracted the attention of the elders by being ranked fifth. I guess, she's why?"

"Hmm. But I heard that the entire Sunmoon Kingdom was massacred, they are now dying in a hospital. It is certain that he will not be present. Probably still lying in bed."

"Oh, I heard that too. He said at the same time, the poison Valley kingdom also experienced the same thing. I guess both groups why. I was thinking that the two kingdoms were fighting each other."

"Haish. The Valley Kingdom of poison was extremely powerful. There's Mong yi, right? He's so strong, there's no way he's....."

Suddenly, the group of gossipers fell silent. When seeing the person they were talking about accidentally passing them by.

Mong Yi, with a pale state and some wounds on his body wrapped in bandages. Walk with a horrible look. Dark circles under his eyes, as well as his reddened eyeballs made everyone instantly frightened when they saw him. They bowed, especially when the man stopped at the group of gossipers earlier, they immediately turned pale with sweat. Luckily the man left as if he didn't care about them. It made the group of gossipers sigh in relief.

'He......' Qin Yan folded his hands over his chest with furrowed brows.

'Wasn't he badly injured yesterday? Today still follows the competition. His recovery was quite horrible as well.' Inner Qin Yan again.

Not long after, the elders entered. In total there were five elders, and one of them was a legend in the refining world, Sai Hwang.

The five elders headed up the stage. Sit side by side. At that moment, Qin Yan and all the participants present instantly gathered to their respective tables.

"Ukhuk ukhuk, so this is the rest of yesterday's test well." A grandmother coughed at the large number of participants present.

"Y-yeah, master." Grandma's assistant answered in the back. After hearing the nod of her assistant, the grandmother began to think.

"Hm.... Wasn't the competition this time around 57 people? Why are they only 27?" Asked the old woman in confusion.

"Law.... Master, they were all killed in the refining earlier. And there's one person who's in the hospital. So he can't attend." Answer his assistant with gugub.

"Oh, so so. But, the matter of the fallen participants, is it really that much. Haish. They're all weak." The grandmother simply stroked her forehead after hearing the information.

"But, senior. There was a genius alchemist present this new. He finished the exam within ten minutes. Defeat all the other Alchemists even your disciples." Suddenly an elder whispered beside the grandmother.

"Hm..? Ten minutes? It was no longer the speed of his name. That's the record he broke. W-wait! You're saying he finished a tough test I created in ten minutes?" The old woman immediately turned around in shock after hearing that. The elder beside him also nodded, making him not believe that anyone would be able to break the trap he set in such a fast time.

"Who's the guy?" ask again. The elder beside him directly pointed towards the masked man. Automatically all the other higher-ups turned around to look at Qin Yan.

"You see that masked man over there? He was the one, the one who was able to complete his challenge in just 10 minutes."

The grandmother looked at Qin Yan, judging by the mask he was wearing. It looks like he's young. But he was very curious as to who the young man was. It's just that it's rude of him to ask the young man to take off his mask.

"Hmphc.... All right then. Run the next competition. I want to see, they can succeed or not. Especially that kid!"

On the side of the participant's table, Qin Yan suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around, seeing the old grandmother glaring at him sharply.

'What is this? Did I make a mistake?' Inner Qin Yan was confused.

Finally, the president of the association stood up and clapped three times. After that, the waiter came with some ingredients and medicine.

On appeal to see the servants, Qin Yan's attention was on the president of the association who was a young woman. If you look at it, maybe its age is not much different from Yun Zhi or Jan er from underground gambling.

'He became the president of the association at such a young age?' Thought Qin Yan, it seems that woman seems like a talented person. Being an honorable figure at such a young age is not easy.

It turned out to be Qin Yan's gaze, the woman realized. Despite being behind the mask, but the woman still felt Qin Yan looking at her. In response, the woman simply smiled resolutely like a leader.

'Oh, that woman's instincts are sharp as well.' Qin Yan slowly lowered his head calmly and looked at the materials the servants had already provided. Some of these drugs are ingredients for making tier 4 pills. But judging by how high the quality of the ingredients were, it could be the reaction of a level 5 equivalent pill.

Two-stalked green leaves, sap from the silver ice Empress tree, dead wood stem from the ashen medicinal plant, as well as purple snake bile orchid flowers. Even upon seeing it, Qin Yan understood it immediately. What pills will be taken.

Then, on stage. The association president began to explain the distillation this time.

"Material has been prepared on your table. The pill we are making this time is a frozen liver recovery pill. This pill is the equivalent of a tier four, if you guys can finish it within the time we set. You are considered to qualify for the next round."

'I suspected.' Qin Yan nodded. However, something disturbed his mind.

Why is the red lava mushroom here?

In thought, Qin Yan still did not understand. He wanted to ask, but before that he had to check it first. And he saw the reactions of the other participants. It seems they don't know what this frozen liver neutralizing pill is all about. If possible, asking is a very careless act.

Right now, the association president directly started the competition.

"Alright, the distillation begins!!" His voice was so firm that all the participants could only nod, then they started to distill. However, there was one person who caught the attention of this beautiful woman. What's the masked man in there doing? Why did he gawk at the materials on the table?

"Se-senior, look. It seems the boy realized something." The elders began to whisper to each other. Their actions made the president's eyebrows furrowed. In fact, he was also worried that the secret of traps for these participants could be revealed.

"Huh? Of course not. Frozen liver recovery pills are extremely rare pills in this world. Although it was only level five, but the recipe only belonged to this association. Even so, only a few of us know it in detail. How could the boy know that." The grandmother denied with pride.

"But, seniors....."

"Oh, you think too much."

Then they started to notice Qin Yan again. To be honest, the grandmother was also more worried. Don't be right, the boy knows something.

'Ah, I expected. There is something wrong with this competition. What exactly are they planning. Is this, a trap? I hope they don't cheat.' Qin Yan threw the mushroom far away, while the other mushroom, he was coquettish until it was thrown forward.

'Ahh!!!!'

All the other participants looked perplexed looking at that, yet in contrast to the elders who were already half-dead shocked. They freeze like rocks. Like a hammer hitting their heads.

"W-what? In-he realized that?" The grandmother was fixated with a slightly shivering body. The elders who saw it were silent a thousand languages. They knew that the old grandmother could not be offended at a time like this.

"Find out the boy's background immediately." Grandma said with great seriousness.

The president's eyebrows were furrowed, how could any child be able to realize that just by looking. Even Qin Yan had not tried it, but Qin Yan directly threw it away. It really doesn't make sense. He also has some doubts in him. Don't don't Qin Yan is the one in disguise. Well, that makes sense. Therefore, he must take action.

"After this competition is over, I want her summoned to my room." Said the woman calmly but with dignity.
