Chapter 60: Restoration PillAfter the Alchemist Conference ended, everyone left one after another. There were troops on the scene to maintain order, and the exit appeared to be orderly.
After the gray-robed boy's cover was broken, he did not try to hide anymore. Instead, he enjoyed the gazes from all around.
"Just one night, with all the contestants here, there will be no problem for me to win the championship tomorrow."
After disappearing from sight, the gray-robed man clenched his fists and then disappeared in the huge crowd.
He seemed to know that Fa Ma and Jia Xingtian had seen through some clues about him, so when he left the public eye, he immediately became much more low-key.
Putting on the brim of his hat, the man in gray robe walked around here and there, but did not go back directly to his residence.
"No one followed?"
After turning a corner, the man in gray robe frowned slightly, stood for a few seconds, entered the store, and soon after secretly went out from the back door.
The same action was repeated dozens of times until it was completely dark.
However, not far behind the man in gray robe, there was a person following him like a shadow, always hanging behind him.
"He's so cautious. No wonder he dared to sneak into the Gama Empire Alchemist Conference and cause trouble."
Nie Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but unfortunately his turtle breathing technique was also not bad, which made him feel like an ordinary person.
In this case, unless you take action.
Otherwise, even if they passed face to face, he could guarantee that the other party would not notice him.
"almost."
Looking up, Nie Yuan decided to take action and get the other party's method of becoming younger first, because he knew that Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian and others would also take action at night.
The reason why he didn't join them was because Nie Yuan wanted to collect some emotional points.
Just imagine, when the opponent wins the championship tomorrow, Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian and others will think that the reputation of the Imperial Alchemist Guild will be ruined.
If he steps in to crack the other party's disguise, how huge will the conflict be?
"Ok?"
Just as Nie Yuan was about to walk up, he was stunned when he saw an unexpected person, "Yun Leng? Why is he not staying on the mountain? Why is he following the alchemist? What does he want to do?"
The gray-robed young man in front paused, bent down to pick up something, and suddenly twisted his waist.
The next second, his eyes met Yun Leng.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?"
The gray-robed man asked coldly.
Yun Leng had never thought that he would be discovered by a 17 or 18-year-old boy. He was stunned for a few seconds before reacting. He smiled and said, "As expected of an alchemist who has won two first places in a row."
The gray-robed man didn't say anything. His aura was restrained, but it gave him a sense of pressure. He was probably at least a Dou Wang.
"It's not easy to have such a high level of medicine refining at such a young age. If you are sensible, you can still save your life by leaving the imperial capital now."
Yun Leng glanced sideways, with no concealment of the threat in his eyes.
The gray-robed man laughed loudly, "Too good of you to have a subordinate like that of the old man Fa Ma."
"Asshole, do you want to die?!"
Yun Leng said angrily.
However, facing the murderous threat, the gray-robed man directly took off his hat, and a look of disdain appeared on his young face, "You dare to do it?"
When he laughed, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Now that his face has been revealed, the discussion has suddenly intensified.
"It's the guy who won two first places today."
"What a powerful alchemist! Little Princess Yaoyue and Liu Ling are no match for him."
"I didn't expect to see him here. Hey, who's that person opposite him? His face looks a little ugly, but he looks familiar."
"It seems to be Elder Yun Leng of the Yun Lan Sect..."
The crowd gathered around and a shop owner even took the initiative to invite the gray-robed boy to come in for a meal.
"You are still the elder of Yunlan Sect? If this continues, Yunlan Sect will fall into your hands sooner or later."
The young man in gray robe listened to the voices around him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This old man is usually arrogant, right? He actually ordered him, how funny.
This time when he came to the Gama Empire, he was fully prepared and was not afraid of the Gama Empire taking action at all.
Because as long as anything unexpected happens to him, messages about him being the designated champion will spread from every city in the Gama Empire.
"If you have the guts, sleep on the street!"
The muscles on Yun Leng's face twitched slightly, and his eyes looked terrifyingly gloomy.
The gray-robed youth snorted, swaggered into a shop and sat down.
More and more people learned that he was here and rushed over.
There were so many people that Yao Ye had to quickly arrange for the army to come and maintain order.
In the eyes of outsiders, the man in gray robe is just a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old, but his level of alchemy is enough to suppress Yaoyue and Liu Ling. His future must be bright, so naturally some people would want to curry favor with him.
Outside the crowd.
Nie Yuan's face darkened and he couldn't help but curse a few times.
Originally, he could have captured the gray-robed man quietly and interrogated him.
No chance now.
"If I had known Yun Leng would come, I would never have waited until this moment."
Nie Yuan really didn't expect to see him here.
In the restaurant.
The man in gray robe faced the compliments from people around him with a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with sarcasm.
After staying there for nearly an hour, he quietly left on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
After a long journey, he returned to his residence. He carefully checked the layout and confirmed that no one had been there before, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, why are the people from Yunlan Sect joining in the fun?"
The man in gray robe twisted his neck, took out a red pill and swallowed it. His face changed rapidly, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged man.
He was able to transform himself into a young man because he took the Rejuvenation Pill, but this pill had serious side effects.
After taking it, one can return to his youth, but if he wants to regain his original appearance, he needs to take the pill regularly.
After transforming into a young boy, his own strength will be affected and he won't be able to fully display it.
"Just bear with it for a few more days. After I win the championship, the reputation of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild will be ruined. I will be almost certain to win the competition for the president."
The man in gray robe looked like a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
If any alchemist from the Izumo Empire saw him, he would recognize that this was Yan Li, the vice president of their Izumo Empire Alchemist Guild.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and the other party was coming towards him.
A hint of nervousness flashed across his face, and Yanli immediately rushed towards the door.
The next second, the door was pushed open from the outside and light shone in.
"Hmm? Did you find the wrong one?"
Yun Leng was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at the sign on the door frame. Yes, this room was the residence of the genius alchemist he had investigated.
He had been tricked by the other party on the street before, and it would not be Yun Leng's style if he didn't get back at them.
What he didn't expect was that there was no one in the other room, but a middle-aged man.
"Hey, did you see a young man? He was wearing the same gray robe as you. He won first place twice in the Alchemist Conference today."
Yun Leng questioned.
Yan Li on the opposite side felt his heart tighten, and a strong murderous intent and anger surged in his heart.
He didn't expect that the people of Yunlan Sect were even more anxious than those of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild.
"never seen it."
Yanli replied expressionlessly, then closed the door, turned and walked towards the window without hesitation, pushed it open, and jumped out.
First on the street, then at his residence, it was clear that Elder Yun Leng really wanted to kill him!
Must go!
Otherwise, after the effect of the pill wears off in ten minutes, he will turn back into a teenager, and if he hits him again, he will surely die.
Although his idea was good, he never considered that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind it.
Yanli jumped out of the window, using his toes to gain leverage on the roof and pretended to run away.
In the middle of it, Yanli's expression suddenly changed, he raised his right hand, and flames emerged from his palm.
Swish!
His palm turned into a flaming knife and chopped to the side.
At this moment, an eagle claw-like hand appeared out of thin air and collided with his flaming sword.
Bang!
The energy was surging, Yanli felt a tinnitus in his ears, and a huge force fell on his body, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
After falling to the ground, Yanli rolled a few times and looked up.
Three figures stood on the houses on both sides, each of them had a strong aura and was completely overwhelming him.
"Fama! If you kill me, your Alchemist Guild will also be destroyed. Since I, Yanli, dare to come, do you really think I am not prepared at all?"
Looking at the incoming attack, Yanli's expression suddenly changed and he roared ferociously.
"Old man Jia, wait!"
Fa Ma's heart skipped a beat and he shouted.
On another roof, Xingtian's outstretched palm rotated, and an eagle claw condensed with fighting spirit changed direction, brushing against Yanli's shoulder and flying into the sky.
"What are you doing? Pharaoh, why bother talking to this kind of person? Just kill him directly."
Jia Xingtian frowned and turned to ask with a puzzled look.
Fa Ma shook his head. "No, Yan Li dared to come to the Jia Ma Empire alone, so he must have made some preparations. If we kill him directly, we might fall into his trap."
Yan Li got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and sneered, "Fa Ma is right. I'm not afraid to tell you, as long as I die today, I guarantee that before dawn, the news that the Jia Ma Alchemist Guild manipulated the championship and wantonly killed contestants will spread to the surrounding empires."
Once the Alchemist Guild loses its reputation, it will be difficult to attract alchemists.
What's more, if contestants are slaughtered at will, who would dare to come to the Gama Empire to participate in the competition in the future?
"Yan Li! You have violated the rules of the competition by participating in the competition under a disguised identity."
Fa Mammoth looked down at him.
"laugh……"
Yan Li chuckled disdainfully, "Do you have any evidence? I took the 'Rejuvenation Pill' specifically this time, Fa Ma, you should know about this pill."
“You really put your heart into it.”
Fa Ma gritted his teeth.
Hai Bodong didn't quite understand and looked at him, "What is the Furong Pill?"
"As the name suggests, after taking it, he can return to his youthful appearance. However, this pill is irreversible, and he can only recover temporarily by taking the antidote. Once he stops, he will turn back into a teenager."
Fa Ma didn't expect that the opponent would even use this trick. It was really a case of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting his own eight hundred.
"This is indeed a bit unsolvable. Unless we can expose it at the Medicine Refining Conference and let everyone see it, it will be difficult to shut up others."
Hai Bodong suddenly realized, no wonder this man dared to be so fearless, he immediately changed the subject, "Catch him first, he must have extra pills on him."
Yan Li's expression below changed slightly, and he took out three light red pills.
Flames rose in the palms of his hands.
"Stop him!"
Fa Ma roared and attacked immediately.
