34 -33 I am the Alchemist_1
After carefully storing the remaining three pill-sized pills in a prepared porcelain bottle, Xiao Chen’s first alchemy journey came to a close, having consumed nearly a hundred medicinal materials.
Clenching the porcelain bottle in his hand and looking at the pills of varying sizes and dismal colors inside, Xiao Chen’s heart was filled with excitement.
His trembling hands revealed just how thrilled he was at the moment, “Haha!
This can also be considered a success, right?
From now on, I, the Clan Leader, can also be considered as a proper Alchemist!”
Just as Xiao Chen was being smug and indulging in his infinite aspirations, a voice from outside the Stone House shattered his beautiful dream.
Xiao Chen constantly pondered about who could be visiting him, as even he couldn’t guess.
After his momentous rise to power and leading the weakened Gu Yuan Tribe to slay three Blood Refining Realm Warriors, and absorbing three major Tribes, his reputation had already spread throughout the surrounding tribes.
This situation, with the passage of time, became even more intense.
These days, people from other tribes visited the Gu Yuan Tribe almost daily.
Facing the sugar-coated bullets brought by these fair-weather friends, he took the sugar coating and returned the bullets.
As the Clan Leader, Xiao Chen understood the importance of strength.
As long as the Gu Yuan Tribe became prosperous, these fickle tribes would always grovel under his feet.
Otherwise, if the Gu Yuan Tribe declined, the consequences would be disastrous.
Eventually, Xiao Chen got annoyed with the constant harassment from foreign emissaries, and made an excuse to go into seclusion for a few days, leaving them to the Grand Elder and others, using the excuse that to those who can do, more tasks are assigned.
Despite his order to refuse visitors, the guards turned up to consult him.
Xiao Chen knew that an important person must be visiting and said, “Please have your distinguished guest wait for a moment in the Great Hall, I will be there shortly.”
The guard went on his way, and Xiao Chen put the porcelain bottle into the Mountain and River Seal Space, and his body’s Combat Qi circulated.
The remnants of medicinal materials on his body were instantly cleansed, becoming neat and tidy.
After adjusting his attire slightly, Xiao Chen strode out to see who had come to his Gu Yuan Tribe and what they intended to do!
The visitors were Grand Alchemist Hu Guyue and Mu Yun Tian.
They were led by the guard at Xiao Chen’s residence to the Great Hall in the front yard for the guest meeting.
Over the years, these two had already travelled through several regions of the Eastern Continent, staying in countless tribes.
They had not seen more than a handful of Alchemists, and they were all in middle-grade and above tribes.
Now, they were curious to find an Alchemist in a small tribe in the resource-lacking Border Wasteland Region.
Both of them quietly sat on the stone chairs in the Great Hall, gazing at the simple and brutal decorations, not speaking, seemingly pondering about the identity of the person who refined medicine.
Shortly after, a strong and powerful step could be heard coming from outside and getting closer to where they were.
Hu Guyue and the others immediately shot their eyes to the entrance, wishing to see the newcomer’s face.
“I apologize for not coming to meet our distinguished guests sooner,” Xiao Chen said.
The voice was heard before the face was seen.
Xiao Chen had just stepped into the Great Hall, and holding his fists in greeting, he apologized to the two people in the Hall.
Indeed, he had clearly seen the two guests in the Hall before he entered it.
The front yard guest meeting hall of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s Clan Leader’s residence was very cleverly constructed, leaving a small window that allowed one to see clearly everything in the Hall, while those in the Hall couldn’t see the outside.
It was clear that the ancestors of the Gu Yuan Tribe foresaw this situation.
Xiao Chen admired and respected those who had passed away even more for their foresight and wisdom.
Looking at the Great Hall through the narrow window, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but take a cold breath.
The old and young in the Great Hall had a great impact on him.
The weak young lad was immediately ruled out by Xiao Chen, his attention was on the old man, clad in beast skin.
Beneath his hunched body lay a devastating energy, like a volcano about to erupt full of pent-up force.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to sense the old man again, the old man’s fierce energy disappeared as if it had never been there, vanishing without a trace.
The old man’s following reaction made him break out in a cold sweat, retracting his spreading Soul Power as if he had been electrically shocked.
“Was I discovered?”
The old man, who was originally emotionless, revealed a mysterious smile towards his direction, deliberately or not, then turned his head to look elsewhere with an emotionless face.
“Friend or foe?” Deeply sighing, Xiao Chen composed himself.
He had no choice but to take the situation seriously.
Although he had defeated the three-tribe alliance that was oppressing the Gu Yuan Tribe, it didn’t mean that the Gu Yuan Tribe was entirely safe.
With so many disasters and accidents happening in the vast continent, the Gu Yuan Tribe was still like a leaf in the ocean, helpless against the forces of nature.
Now, although the Gu Yuan Tribe won a brief peace thanks to Xiao Chen’s peerless power, there was an old saying, “Though the nation is bigger, forgetting about war will lead to danger,” especially on the continent where tribes like the Gu Yuan Tribe were as numerous as draft animals, and countless tribes were being annulled and people killed every day.
Suddenly, such a powerful figure had descended upon the tribe.
As the tribal leader, charged with the responsibility of expanding the territory and protecting the realm, Xiao Chen would not shrink away, even in the face of a sea of fire or a mountain of blades.
A man should know what he stands for and what he should not!
As long as blood still flows, the Gu Yuan Inheritance will not perish!
This was Xiao Chen’s promise as the tribal leader, a man’s promise to tens of thousands of tribal people!
Seeing Xiao Chen enter the Great Hall, the youth Mu Yun Tian snorted lightly and turned his head away, uninterested.
This left Xiao Chen baffled.
After running through multiple thoughts in his mind, he finally he realised that he didn’t know the youth at all, let alone offend him.
Seeing the youth’s reaction, Hu Guyue said, “Ha ha, Clan Leader Xiao, please don’t be offended.
Young Mu has some prejudice against Gu Yuan for executing all the captives…”>
After listening to the old man’s explanation, Xiao Chen finally understood.
He wouldn’t hold a grudge against a child, nor would he explain anything to him.
Since those captives have harmed the Gu Yuan, they could only repent in hell.
Xiao Chen was not a saint who repays grievances with virtue, he believes in an eye for an eye.
“I don’t know which tribe the old sir comes from, or why you have come to Gu Yuan.
If there is a command, Gu Yuan will do its best if we can.” As the leader, before understanding the identities of the two, Xiao Chen displayed respectful manners, with not a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
Seeing Xiao Chen’s gesture, the youth beside him opened his mouth and said, “You are just feigning politeness, did not even mean it.”
Since he entered the hall, Xiao Chen had been on high alert, ready to confront a battle at any moment.
Looking at Xiao Chen who was on guard like a hedgehog, the elder understood why.
To dispel Xiao Chen’s vigilance, the elder laughingly said, “Clan Leader Xiao, you do not need to be so defensive.
We are just explorers from another region who happened to arrive at your tribe a few days ago, and have not yet thanked your tribe for your hospitality.”
The two of them, who were initially attracted by the alchemist, immediately knew that Xiao Chen was the mysterious person who refined the pills when he entered the Great Hall.
Although Xiao Chen had used his Combat Qi to clear his body when he stepped out of the Stone House, there was still a faint scent of medicine lingering on him that even he himself did not notice.
The elder did not show anything on his face, but his heart violently trembled.
Such a young alchemist, one of a kind he had ever met, how could this not surprise him?
At Xiao Chen’s age, he was still following his teacher to learn about medicinal principles.
And Xiao Chen had already become a formal alchemist.
Originally, based on Xiao Chen’s actions, the elder’s evaluation of him was only average.
But now, after seeing him, this evaluation dramatically increased.
Then the elder candidly said, “If I am not mistaken, Clan Leader Xiao, you are not only a peerless Martial Arts Repairer, but also an alchemist.
You were even refining pills not long ago.”
“Correct”.
When the elder mysteriously smiled at him, Xiao Chen knew his identity as an alchemist couldn’t be kept secret.
To the elder, who was also an alchemist, there was no mystery about the alchemist to others.
He might as well openly admit it.
“Yes, indeed, I am an alchemist!”
His voice was strong and confident.
