246: Elder Lin is really brave

A single phrase, "unrelated personnel," was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up huge waves.

The Alchemists present immediately became restless.

"Impudent! Young man, do you think possessing a Heavenly Flame makes you arrogant?!"

"The Dao of Alchemy is profound and extensive; without enough time and effort, it's hard to achieve anything. You are so young, even if you started learning in the womb, it would be impossible to surpass this old man."

"Young people nowadays truly have no self-awareness."

Various reprimands emanated from the Alchemists' mouths, making the hall exceptionally lively.

"How arrogant, this person seems quite interesting."

Tang Huo'er looked at the angry Alchemists, then at Lin Xiu, who showed no change in expression, feeling it was very amusing.

"Quiet! This is Burning Flame Valley. Everyone, do not confuse priorities."

Tang Zhen's authoritative eyes swept over the Alchemists, revealing a hint of his own majesty, pressing down on them.

The scene immediately returned to quiet.

After all, Burning Flame Valley was Tang Zhen's territory, and as the Valley Master, these Alchemists dared not provoke him recklessly.

Otherwise, if an accident truly occurred in Burning Flame Valley, it was likely that no news would ever get out.

However, although they did not speak, they still glared at the arrogant Lin Xiu with indignant eyes, as if to teach him a lesson with their gaze.

"Valley Master Tang, since I am not needed, I shall take my leave."

Master Huan was also a man with a temper. He slammed the armrest heavily and was about to get up and leave.

His face was filled with indignation, but his movements were somewhat slow.

When he heard Tang Zhen's voice, a knowing smile flashed across his face.

"Master Huan, please stay."

Tang Zhen raised his hand towards the retreating figure and quickly took two steps to catch up.

"Valley Master Tang, since he can refine a seventh-grade Medicinal Pill on his own, why are you still keeping me? Could it be that you want me to learn from the side?"

Master Huan was aggressive and relentless.

Before coming to Burning Flame Valley, he had inquired and knew of Tang Zhen's urgent desire for Alchemy.

Therefore, unless someone produced a seventh-grade Medicinal Pill, Tang Zhen would definitely not be at ease and would keep him.

Moreover, Lin Xiu did indeed look young, and it was difficult for people to feel reassured by his appearance alone.

Such a young seventh-grade Alchemist was rare, even in the Pill Tower.

"I do not have the habit of performing Alchemy in front of outsiders. If you want to learn, you must become my disciple."

Before Tang Zhen could speak, Lin Xiu's voice drifted from behind him, and Master Huan's expression suddenly changed upon hearing it.

"You little..."

He suppressed his anger and glared at Lin Xiu, who had turned around.

An invisible force erupted from his eyes.

The Soul Power of the Alchemists present was not weak. After perceiving this force, they not only did not offer a warning but instead closed their mouths tightly, their eyes revealing anticipation for a good show to unfold.

As a Guest Elder of the Pill Tower, Master Huan possessed a certain capital for pride.

However...

Master Huan had barely begun to speak when he was suppressed by a powerful force.

He found that the Soul Power he had unleashed was like a small stream encountering a surging river, collapsing with a single rush and even flowing back towards him.

"Hiss..."

Master Huan retreated several steps, clutching his forehead, his brows tightly furrowed, revealing an expression of pain.

His head felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, swollen and throbbing, extremely uncomfortable.

His face instantly turned pale.

"This..."

"How is that possible?"

The other Alchemists, seeing Master Huan's appearance, gasped, their eyes wide, their faces showing an expression of disbelief.

In a clash of Soul Power, Master Huan actually lost to a young man?

What did this indicate?

His Soul Power was even stronger than Master Huan's, who was already close to seventh-grade. Could that young man truly be a seventh-grade Alchemist?

The purple-robed Elder Zeng Xiu's body trembled slightly, remembering his disdain for Lin Xiu at the entrance of Burning Flame Valley earlier, and he immediately felt a sense of dread.

Such a young seventh-grade Alchemist's future was absolutely limitless. All forces would be eager to befriend him, yet he had actually offended him.

Equally regretful was Elder Huo, whose eyes were somewhat bloodshot, his gaze almost cannibalistic.

Zeng Xiu has wronged me!

"Elder Lin wasn't joking with me after all?!"

Xin Lan was stunned on the spot. She was also an Alchemist, so she could understand what Master Huan's changes implied.

She just never thought that besides Lin Xiu's Heaven-Defying talent in Cultivation, he was also extraordinary in Alchemy.

Is it true that a Genius's world has no flaws?

Originally, Tang Zhen had wanted to help, but seeing Master Huan's appearance, his movements stopped abruptly.

As the dignified Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, if it weren't for the Medicinal Pill, would he bother to consider the feelings of a Guest Elder from the Pill Tower?

"This Master Huan, shall we go outside and exchange a few more moves?"

Lin Xiu's chest puffed out slightly, and a power belonging to a Dou Zong surged from within him.

At this, the Alchemists' faces grew even uglier, and they all lowered their heads.

Not only was he a seventh-grade Alchemist, but he was also a Dou Zong. This talent was too terrifying, and he must have powerful forces behind him providing resources.

They were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to utter a sound.

"Brother Lin, please calm down. It's all a misunderstanding; there's no need to make things too tense."

Tang Zhen turned and walked in front of Lin Xiu, patting his shoulder warmly, "I believe in your Alchemy skills."

"It was my old eyes that were blind. You are welcome to visit the Pill Tower when you have time."

Master Huan kept taking deep breaths, cupped his fists towards Tang Zhen, and then turned and left the main hall directly.

"Valley Master Tang, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

Seeing this, the other Alchemists also found excuses to leave.

The other party had already found an Alchemist; there was no point in staying. Could they really become a disciple to a young man in his early twenties?

If this got out, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?

In an instant, the lively hall became deserted, with only a few people remaining.

"Brother Lin, if you can help me successfully refine the Medicinal Pill, whatever you need, just say the word. I will absolutely satisfy you."

Tang Zhen looked at Lin Xiu with hopeful eyes.

Hearing this, his heart stirred, and he cupped his fists with a smile, "Valley Master, is that true?"

Tang Zhen paused slightly, looking at him thoughtfully, "As long as it's not the treasure that guards Burning Flame Valley, you can speak freely. I just don't know what Brother Lin wants."

"To be honest, Valley Master Tang, I came here this time to borrow the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame for a while."

Lin Xiu looked directly into Tang Zhen's eyes, speaking slowly and calmly.

Thump!

Hearing this, Tang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, his eyes became serious, and his face was covered with a solemn expression.

"Hiss..."

Xin Lan's breathing stopped immediately upon hearing this, and her eyes became dull and lifeless.

To ask for the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame in Burning Flame Valley, this truly is the Elder Lin I know; his courage is truly great.

Throughout the entire Central Plains, anyone who inquired would know the importance of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame to Burning Flame Valley.

Throughout history, those who could wield the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame all needed to Cultivate Burning Flame Valley's exclusive Cultivation Technique.

Elder Lin's request was no different from asking to be the Valley Master.

"You're dreaming!"

Tang Huo'er sharply rebuked, taking two quick steps to stand in front of Lin Xiu, her gaze fixed on him.

The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was destined to be hers. How could it possibly be lent to someone else?

Moreover, something like a Heavenly Flame, once lent out, could it even be retrieved?
