C74 The Disgrace of the Alchemy System!
"You're still the Empire's Third Princess, how did you end up like this?" Even Ye Wuchen was shocked when he entered the house. The cabin was originally simple, but now the furnishings inside were so old. There was a simple wooden bed, a table made of wooden piles, and a broken chair.
There was a crunching sound as he stepped on the floor. He was worried that he would miss a step and fall down. However, although the room was shabby, the faint fragrance of lotus flowers and the fragrance of a woman wafted in the air.
"Take a seat!" Qin Ziqing pushed away the oil lamp on the bedside and slowly lit it up. Instantly, the inside of the wooden house became much brighter, and two figures appeared on the wall.
"Will you laugh at me?" Qin Ziqing pursed her lips into a smile as she laid on the bed. Because her butt was swollen from the fall, she was probably lying down and unable to move. It was all Ye Wuchen's fault.
"What are you laughing at? Your experiences are quite bitter, but you don't know what happened to me when I was a child, so how did you know that I would laugh at you? " Ye Wuchen smiled and sat on the chair.
The atmosphere soon turned silent. One of them was lying on the bed while the other was sitting on a chair. There was actually no topic to talk about and it was also very awkward.
"Um, what's your name?" Qin Ziqing couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere, so she took the initiative to break the silence to ask Ye Wuchen. She wanted to get to know him better.
"Ye Wuchen!"
"Oh, you're a disciple of the Alchemy Department?" Qin Ziqing nodded with a smile and continued to ask. Obviously, she didn't know who Ye Wuchen was.
"I guess so, today is my first time joining a Alchemy Department!" Ye Wuchen nodded slightly.
"First day? Then how dare you come here? Don't you know that this is Dan Feng's forbidden area? " Qin Ziqing was a little surprised and confused. Her residence was a forbidden area within a radius of 50 miles. This was personally decided upon by the imperial family. Normal people would not dare to enter this place.
"Whether or not I enter the forbidden zone doesn't mean much to me. I can come and go as I please!" Ye Wuchen disdainfully smiled. He was not arrogant and conceited. He was a type of confidence, a type of confidence in strength.
Qin Ziqing's eyes glazed over when she heard that. She found it hard to believe that there was actually such an arrogant disciple in the Alchemy Department who was so similar to that person …
"You can leave now, I need to rest!" Qin Ziqing said shyly, gritting her teeth.
Ye Wuchen was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly. He had forgotten that even though this was a wooden house, it was still a girl's room. It wasn't good for him to just casually come in like this.
"Alright, you take good care of yourself. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning. Your movements are inconvenient and it's because of me, so I'll take care of you these few days!" Ye Wuchen smiled faintly. He got up, pushed open the wooden door and walked out.
"You …" Qin Ziqing wanted to say that she didn't need to, but there was no sign of Ye Wuchen. She could not help but grit her teeth in anger and shame. If it wasn't for Ye Wuchen, she might have been raped and killed by now!
So, to a certain degree, Ye Wuchen was also her savior. However, he did not understand this savior very well.
After Ye Wuchen left, he quickly returned to his own yard to rest.
However, the moment he turned back, Elder Tan ran in with a pale face. He was breathing heavily and looking surprised and angry.
"Dustless Little Friend, quickly, go to the Procedural Hall, something happened in Alchemy Department!" Panting for breath, Elder Tan stretched out his arm to plead sincerely.
Ye Wuchen was surprised, but he didn't immediately take action. If he didn't know what was going on, he wouldn't do it.
"Elder Tan, what happened? for you to be so anxious? " Ye Wuchen gave a faint smile and poured Elder Tan a cup of tea. However, the old man didn't have the time to drink his tea and could only shout out, "The Great Elder from the Pill Hall has defeated Liu Tie. He has lost the bet!"
"Lost? Wu Tie lost? " Ye Wuchen was slightly surprised and puzzled. Logically speaking, Elder Guo's pill refinement had already reached the pinnacle of perfection, so how could he lose?
"Sigh, disgraceful. This time, Alchemy Department lost face for the master!" Elder Tan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. If he could cry, he really wanted to cry.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Even though Ye Wuchen heard the news of Elder Guo's defeat, he was still very calm and didn't let his thoughts be disturbed.
"Because, because the Great Elder of the Alchemy Hall let the news out before he came, there were no less than a few hundred faction elders and heaven's pride experts in the entire Imperial College, both inside and outside!"
"But now, Elder Guo has failed. This time, he has lost a lot of face!"
"Alchemy Department's Elder Zhou is not present. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat!" Elder Tan said with a bitter face, but he quickly reacted and smiled bitterly: "You, come with me!"
Without waiting for Ye Wuchen to ask anything, Elder Tan anxiously dragged Ye Wuchen's arm and quickly flew to the meeting hall. Ye Wuchen could only helplessly go with Elder Tan.
Since he had joined the Alchemy Department, then the honor and disgrace of the Alchemy Department was also related to him. Alchemy Department being teased by the entire Imperial College was not a good thing for him either.
He didn't want to be pointed out by the disciples of the other factions after leaving Dan Feng, and also didn't want the disciples of the Alchemy Department to be humiliated by the disciples of the other factions.
Time passed very quickly, and at midnight, the Procedural Hall was already filled with people. Outside of the hall, the two pill furnaces were standing on top of the plaza.
The firelight shone on the faces of every disciple and elder of the Alchemy Department, but most of them had the same expression, which was ugly.
As for the elders and disciples of the other factions, most of them carried expressions of playfulness and ridicule on their faces. Everyone was not thinking about Imperial College's collective humiliation, but rather enjoyed seeing his appearance after being humiliated.
Elder Guo was silent at the moment, but his fist had already shattered the square's floor. His forehead was full of cold sweat, and his eyes were red.
He didn't dare to claim to be an outstanding tier 3 alchemist, but at least he wouldn't lose so miserably. Yet, he lost to the Great Elder of the Pill Hall, Dan Feng, just like that.
In front of Elder Guo stood a middle-aged man. He wore a blue robe and a jade belt around his waist, giving off a refreshing feeling. His appearance was average, but his innate temperament could not be borrowed by others.
He was none other than the Great Elder of the Pill Hall, Dan Feng. He was only thirty years old, but was already the most outstanding Tier 3 alchemist among them.
This time, not only was there Great Elder Dan Feng, even Third Elder Zhu Qingping was behind him. There was also a powerless alchemist who was invited by the Pill Hall; he was also a Tier 3 alchemist.
The atmosphere was heavy, because all the Alchemy Department s were waiting for Elder Zhou to return. Elder Zhou was the highest ranked elder in the Alchemy Department, a fourth ranked alchemist, which also represented the highest level of alchemy in the Imperial College. As long as Elder Zhou returned, the Great Elder of the Alchemy Hall would be killed within seconds.
It was a pity that Elder Zhou had not returned from his trip out. Perhaps the Pill Palace had already found out that Elder Zhou was not in the Alchemy Department, so they took the opportunity to come over.
In the matter of refining pills, the Yuan Wu Empire had always relied on the Alchemy Department. After all, it belonged to the imperial family of the empire, which made it difficult for pills from the Alchemy Hall to flow into the Alchemy Hall.
This must have been planned for a long time.
"Hehe, this time Alchemy Department is considered dead this time right?"
On his body was a python, which meant that he was the prince. And he was none other than the Ninth Prince, Qin Liuyang. At this moment, he was the representative for the main disciple of the Jianshan Sect.
"If Elder Zhou does not return, it will be hard to turn the tables around!"
Just as Qin Liuyang finished his words, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. His black robe was tightly covering his face, and his voice sounded eerie and cold. Qin Liuyang took a glance and his face changed slightly: "Shen Qi?"
"Ninth Prince, long time no see!" Shen Ning faintly smiled, her eyes emitting traces of a sinister light. However, her smile gave off a strange feeling.
"Hur hur, I didn't expect the student union to join in on the fun!" Qin Liuyang spoke with trepidation, but he didn't say anything else. Shen Ning was the head disciple of the Student Union and had a very high position.
"Tsk tsk, you guys aren't going to rest at night, so that others will worry about you!" Grand Marquis's figure floated out like a ghost. His sudden voice scared Shen Wan and Qin Liuyang. The two of them glared at Grand Marquis in anger, but Grand Marquis laughed disdainfully.
Grand Marquis was very clear that neither of them dared to attack him unless they had to pay the price of a fight to the death.
"Enough, stop arguing!"
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse angry shout rang out in the plaza before the Procedural Hall. Instantly, everyone's voices disappeared and the atmosphere immediately froze.
The three of them looked at the young man wielding the heavy sword at the very front. He was dressed in a blood-red long robe, and it gave people a feeling of terrifying death, causing them to not dare go near him.
Qin Yantian!
One of the two ultimate powers, Royal Family's Baili Chi and Empire's Qin Yantian, they were both absolute powers that no one dared to offend.
The atmosphere turned completely silent with Qin Yantian's angry shout.
Near the two stoves, Elder Guo had no choice but to accept the fact that he had failed. He said that the grade three pills he had refined were of the highest quality in terms of both quality and efficacy.
"Quickly, Dustless Little Friend. This time, the Alchemy Department's honor depends on you!" Elder Guo prayed that Elder Tan would bring Ye Wuchen over quickly. In the absence of Elder Zhou, the only person who could compete with Dustless Little Friendson was Ye Wuchen.
At the very least, Ye Wuchen was a 3-star apothecary.
"Senior Guo, I don't have time to waste here with you guys. Where is the person you said can defeat me?"
"Since there's no one here, let's go!" Dan Feng frowned and scolded impatiently. He waved his hand and prepared to leave with the people from the Pill Hall.
Hehe, a guest coming from afar. A guest doesn't even drink a cup of tea before leaving. This isn't the way to treat guests in Alchemy Department. Guest, drink a cup of tea!
Swoosh!
The sound of breaking air rang out. Everyone's eyes widened as they saw a teacup fly over from midair. The tea cup was wrapped in Essence and was extremely imposing. It didn't look like they were inviting tea but rather a test.
"Humph, I don't drink tea that can only be respected by cats and dogs!" Dan Feng shouted in anger. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying aura burst out. With a 'pa' sound, the tea cup was broken and spilled on the ground.
At the same time, two figures slowly appeared in everyone's line of sight.
When the disciples of the Alchemy Department saw Ye Wuchen had arrived, they were all pleasantly surprised.
Qin Liuyang and Shen Yin both frowned.
"Ye Wuchen?"
