Therefore, after a long while, these people all turned their attention to Qin Xuan.
“Master Qin, you are the newly promoted Fifth-Rank Alchemist this time, and you are also the Champion Marquis newly bestowed by Us. Are you willing to share Our burdens and the burdens of Great Liang?”
This…
Hearing this, Qin Xuan felt his scalp tingle. He didn’t expect that the Supreme Emperor of Great Liang actually hoped for him, this Five-Rank Alchemist, to fight for Great Liang.
However, after thinking about it, it was actually understandable.
These Five-Rank Alchemists present had been Five-Rank Alchemists for some years, and only Qin Xuan was a newly promoted Five-Rank Alchemist.
From a superficial perspective, his strength was the weakest.
Since Qin Xuan’s strength was superficially the weakest, it was naturally most suitable for him to remain in Great Liang, after all, it was a case of a weaker opponent facing a stronger one.
However, this made Qin Xuan somewhat difficult, as his purpose in participating in the Great Liang Alchemist Grand Competition was to obtain the qualification to go to the Dan Tower.
If he were to compete with these three Six-Rank Alchemists, his chances of obtaining the qualification would be much smaller.
“I know Young Master is in a difficult position, so how about this.”
Just then, Qian Hu of the Alchemist Guild stood up.
“The Alchemist Guild preserves the Alchemy insights and a trace of the remnant soul of the forty-second president of the Great Liang Alchemist Guild.”
“This president was a genuine Seven-Rank Alchemist. If Young Master is willing to share the burdens and difficulties of Great Liang, our Alchemist Guild is willing to give this remnant soul and insights to Young Master.”
The remnant soul and Alchemy insights of a Seven-Rank Alchemist.
Hearing this, not only Qin Xuan but also the others became restless. They looked at each other, clearly wanting to obtain these insights.
However, thinking of the cost of having to stay in Great Liang and compete with the Six-Rank Alchemists from the other three countries, they all hesitated.
After all, who wouldn't want the qualification to go to the Dan Tower? How could they willingly give it up?
“Then it’s settled, Champion Marquis, what do you say?”
Listening to the Supreme Emperor’s words from above, Qin Xuan hesitated for a long time before nodding.
“Alright, then I am willing to stay in Great Liang.”
Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor and Qian Hu above both breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s good. Our Great Liang doesn’t necessarily have no chance of defeating them.”
Qian Hu said excitedly.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan felt a bit strange, as if he had no chance of winning at all.
Although the strength of these people from the other three countries sounded very strong, with three of them being Six-Rank Alchemists.
But Qin Xuan was not afraid of them. Besides, he had also refined Six-Rank Medicinal Pills.
When he was in the Tian Tomb, he had even seen the Empress refine higher quality Medicinal Pills more than once.
He hadn't eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run. For him, a Six-Rank Alchemist was nothing to fear.
What’s more, the conditions offered by Qian Hu and the Supreme Emperor made it difficult for him to refuse.
The Alchemy insights and remnant soul of a Seven-Rank Alchemist.
If these things could be given to him, it would certainly be of great benefit to his improvement in the Dao of Alchemy.
Perhaps he might even take this opportunity to step into the Realm of a Seven-Rank Alchemist.
“Alright, then let’s discuss which Alchemists will go to which countries?”
This time there are three countries: Great Liang, Great Qi, and Chu Country, so the Alchemists here naturally need to be assigned one by one.
“These two from Wan Yao Valley are already Five-Rank Alchemists, but it seems their strength should be stronger than ordinary Five-Rank Alchemists, and they even have a chance to break through to Six-Rank Alchemists.”
Counting it, these two should go to the other countries.
Just as Qin Xuan was pondering, the two from Wan Yao Valley stood up and bowed to the Supreme Emperor and Qian Hu above.
“Reporting to Your Majesty and President, we two will not be going to other countries.”
Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor above was stunned. He had originally planned to arrange these two to go to Great Qi, but he didn’t expect them to be unwilling.
“Why? If you go to other countries, you should have a greater chance of obtaining the qualification to go to the Dan Tower? Don’t you want to go to the Dan Tower?”
Qian Hu asked the two curiously. The two shook their heads and bowed to Qian Hu.
“It would naturally be best to go to the Dan Tower, but for us two, there is a more important matter.”
As they spoke, the two of them cast their gaze upon Qin Xuan, staring intently at him.
“We from Wan Yao Valley have a competition with this Junior Brother that hasn’t taken place yet.”
“Although it’s a conflict from our masters’ generation, since our masters agreed to let us disciples compete, then we disciples should also have a good match.”
As they spoke, the two from Wan Yao Valley stared intently at Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and nodded to the two.
“Indeed, we should have a good competition, but are you really unwilling to go to other countries? That’s the qualification to go to the Dan Tower.”
Hearing this, the two smiled and shook their heads.
“No need. We can’t let Junior Brother take all the glory alone. If we compete with you, perhaps we can even defeat those people.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan said no more, cupped his hands, and sat down.
Seeing that these two were actually willing to stay in Great Liang, the Supreme Emperor and Qian Hu were both happy and worried.
They were happy that Great Liang seemed more reliable, but worried that this would mean the person going to Great Qi might have to change.
However, this twist did not affect too much. Soon, the Supreme Emperor and Qian Hu arranged the candidates to go to the other three countries.
“The pressure on Great Liang is heavy. Even if we lose, we can understand, but since you are going to the other three countries, you must strive for first place.”
“This not only concerns your qualifications to go, but also everyone’s face, and it also prevents Great Liang from being utterly defeated.”
If Great Liang could even gnaw off any bone from these other three countries, then Great Liang would profit greatly this time.
“Please rest assured, Supreme Emperor, we will not fail our mission.”
Qin Xuan sneered.
The strongest people from the other three countries had all come to Great Liang.
If this group of people who went out couldn't get a ranking, then they would truly lose a lot of face.
“It’s a pity. If you went to one of the other countries, you would surely get first place and secure the qualification. If you stay in Great Liang, the pressure is still a bit high.”
Han Ye’s concerns were not unfounded, but Qin Xuan didn’t care.
For him, it was merely that the enemies became more numerous and powerful, and he was still confident of defeating them.
After a long while, Qin Xuan withdrew his gaze and drained the wine in his cup.
Since the assignments were made, the banquet naturally began.
Although Qin Xuan’s performance just now was outstanding enough, many people present were not optimistic about Qin Xuan.
After all, he was only a newly promoted Fifth-Rank Alchemist.
Compared to this group of masters, his strength was not yet strong enough.
So, everyone else focused their attention on the Alchemists who were going to refine Medicinal Pills in the other three countries.
The banquet lasted until deep into the night. As Qin Xuan was about to leave, Qian Hu and the Supreme Emperor suddenly walked over and called out to him.
“This is your Alchemy insights and that trace of remnant soul. They are all in this jade pendant. You just need to place it on your forehead to feel the contents inside.”
