95: Chapter 95 Lin Family Ancestral Land

After two and a half days, the Alchemy Assembly finally came to a close.

With the help of Ji Taichang, Yang Yao ultimately achieved sixth place in the Third-Grade Alchemist competition. This result shocked the entire audience, creating a stir second only to Lin Fan possessing an exotic fire!

One must know, Yang Yao only came from an ordinary, small Sect.

Yet her opponents were all from top Sects and families across the thirteen provinces of the Great Wu Dynasty; the alchemy knowledge, Legacy, and guidance from famous masters they had access to far exceeded Yang Yao's.

However, the result was that Yang Yao defeated numerous Prodigy Alchemists, forcefully breaking into the top ten, and even defeating many Personal Disciples of alchemy Great Masters!

For a moment, the place was in an uproar, and many alchemy Great Masters rushed over, wanting to take Yang Yao as their disciple.

Anyone could see that Yang Yao would definitely become an alchemy Great Master in the future, and an outstanding one at that!

"Not bad." Ji Taichang also nodded slightly, in a very good mood.

The time Yang Yao had possessed the Fire Cloud Pill Scripture was still too short; otherwise, under Ji Taichang's guidance, it would not have been impossible for her to take first place.

However, sixth place was already astonishing enough, sufficient to establish the reputation of the Qingyun Sect and make a name for themselves.

Facing the solicitation from a crowd of alchemy Great Masters, Yang Yao politely declined them all and dashed over to Ji Taichang, her clear, beautiful face full of excitement and agitation.

"Senior Ji, Sister Xueyue, I have not failed your expectations; I achieved sixth place!"

She grabbed the hands of Lin Xueyue and Ji Taichang, unable to help but jump up, her heaving bosom swaying along with her, giving Ji Taichang quite an eyeful.

"Well done!"

"My teaching during this time didn't go to waste." Ji Taichang smiled and reached out to rub Yang Yao's little head.

Mentioning "teaching," Yang Yao's pretty face instantly flushed slightly, remembering the scenes of studying alchemy knowledge with Ji Taichang all night long.

"Congratulations, Yaoyao! From now on, you will be an alchemy Genius renowned throughout the Great Wu Dynasty..." Lin Xueyue also held Yang Yao's hand, speaking with a grin, sincerely feeling happy for her.

Next was the time to award the top-ranking Alchemists.

Yang Yao received a grand prize, which was surprisingly a top-grade Magical Artifact level Pill Furnace, plus a special qualification to enter the Dawu Academy for one year of advanced study!

This reward could not be described as anything but generous, making Yang Yao even more happy and joyful.

After the Alchemy Assembly ended, it was already evening. Qin Miaoyi decided to stay in the Royal Capital for another day, just enough time for everyone to tour the Royal Capital and experience the local customs and traditions.

Ji Taichang left Lin Xueyue and Yang Yao to Qin Miaoyi to look after and protect, while he himself found an excuse to slip away.

The Lin Family.

One of the three great aristocratic families of the Great Wu Dynasty, it was said that its Legacy was even older than the founding of the Great Wu Dynasty. There were many powerful experts within the clan, and a large number of Lin Family disciples served as officials in the imperial court. With extensive connections in military and political affairs, they were deeply rooted and absolutely a behemoth.

Although the Lin Family Estate mansion was located in the Royal Capital, the Lin Family Ancestral Land was not in the Royal Capital, but in a remote area of the Central Province. Surrounded by ten thousand gullies and mountains, with clouds steaming and mists swirling, patches of pavilions and palaces were situated among the forests and mountains, which could be considered prosperous.

A figure completely shrouded in black robes quietly appeared, looking down at the Lin Family Ancestral Land below, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth!

"Lin Yanzhi... I am coming for you!!"

Ji Taichang crouched at the entrance of the Lin Family Ancestral Land and quickly caught a Lin Family direct descendant with an extraordinary status.

Under the terrifying Divine Sense and Soul Power impact of Ji Taichang's Nascent Soul Stage third-layer, this Lin Family direct descendant was quickly forced by Ji Taichang to have his memories read, and was looted of his clothes and equipment, then sent away with a slap.

Ji Taichang changed into the Lin Family direct descendant's clothes, took out the identity token, passed the inspection of the Lin Family Ancestral Land's Protective Sect Array, and swaggered into the Lin Family Ancestral Land.

According to the memories Ji Taichang read, Lin Yanzhi had been following the Lin Family Ancestor all these years, cultivating in the most core treasure land of the Ancestral Land.

This place was called Peach Blossom Valley, where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant, and only the most core direct descendants of the Lin Family were qualified to enter.

"Stop!"

"Peach Blossom Valley is a restricted area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!" As soon as Ji Taichang approached Peach Blossom Valley, he was stopped by the Lin Family guards.

"I have urgent business to report to the Old Ancestor! Let me in quickly!" Ji Taichang had an anxious look on his face.

Upon hearing this, those guards raised their eyebrows and immediately surrounded him: "If you have urgent business, you can tell us first, and we will report it to the Old Ancestor..."

Boom!! When they approached, the corner of Ji Taichang's mouth twisted, and he slapped out directly. Violent and terrifying Spiritual Qi erupted, instantly slapping them into blood mists, destroying both body and soul!

Ji Taichang's figure flashed as he rushed toward Peach Blossom Valley. Unexpectedly, at the entrance of Peach Blossom Valley, dense Formation patterns lit up on the ground, forming a Formation barrier. Ji Taichang did not have a token and was directly blocked outside.

Ji Taichang did not have a token, but he had plenty of strength. Only hearing a deafening "Boom," Ji Taichang fully activated his golden feather flying sword, slashing out an incomparably blazing sword radiance, surging and boundless, sharply slicing open this Formation barrier!

"Who goes there!?" Several Lin Family core direct descendants were cultivating in Peach Blossom Valley; at this moment, they were all startled and immediately soared into the air.

Ji Taichang glanced over and discovered there were two youths and one woman, all at the Golden Core Stage, as well as an old, decrepit woman at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Without a word, Ji Taichang's figure flashed as he killed toward that Golden Core Stage woman!

"Presumptuous!!" Seeing this, the old woman with Nascent Soul Stage cultivation immediately let out an angry shout, swinging the dragon-headed cane in her hand toward Ji Taichang.

Ji Taichang slashed back with his sword, not even activating the power of his Supreme Sword Bone. The golden feather flying sword, flowing with blinding sword radiance, struck the dragon-headed cane with a deafening clang.

The result was that the old woman was instantly sent flying by Ji Taichang's sword strike, smashing heavily into a small hill and spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Just a piece of roadkill!

Ji Taichang grabbed the Golden Core Stage woman by the neck, his violent and terrifying pressure suppressing her, making her unable to move!

Puff!! Ji Taichang showed no mercy, directly piercing through her chest with one palm, ripping out her heart and lungs.

"Hmm??"

"Where is the Innate Sword Bone?"

"You are not Lin Yanzhi!?" Ji Taichang dug for a moment, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Cough, cough... Yanzhi, Sister Yanzhi is at the Dawu Academy for advanced study, Senior, please spare me... I, I am Lin Panjing..." The woman trembled all over, blood uncontrollably spilling from the corners of her mouth as she begged.

"Oh... sorry, I dug the wrong one."

"But since you won't survive anyway, I might as well send you on your way. No need to thank me."

Flames raged between Ji Taichang's fingers and palms. He activated the Blazing Fire Art, burning her into ashes.

"You brat!!"

"You truly deserve to die—" At this moment, a roar of extreme anger erupted!
