Chapter 123: Chapter 113: Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference (3rd Update)

A gold-plated invitation landed in Ye Chen’s hand, with five gold-plated characters clearly visible—

Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference!

"Alchemy Conference?"

Ye Chen’s eyebrows slightly quirked up at the sight of it and his interest was piqued. He opened the invitation to see shimmering gold light, with lines of gold-plated script emerging that danced like dragons and phoenixes on the page.

The meaning on the invitation was simple: the grand alchemical event for the young generation of Tiandu Continent, held once every ten years, was due to take place the following year. The invitation was a special summons for the young alchemical talents of Xiafeng Country to participate in the grand feast of alchemy, to share their experiences in alchemy, and to grow together.

If it had been just that, it would have been one thing, but the origin of this invitation was not so ordinary—it was from an influential force in the Central Land of the continent called the Pill God Temple which was issuing the invitation to the alchemy event.

And the three words, Pill God Temple, made Ye Chen’s eyes briefly sharpen.

On the Tiandu Continent, a hundred countries stood tall, with three empires dominating, but the powers that be were not limited to just the major dynasties and even the Three Great Empires of the Central Land. There also existed a number of powerful top forces.

Some of these peak forces had energy that was not inferior to the 108 Countries, and forces like Tiandu Academy, Martial God Temple, and the Demon Beast Mountain Range were even more superior, on par with the Three Great Empires.

The Pill God Temple was also a peak and extraordinary ancient force. Although not numerous, the energy it controlled demanded the solemn respect of the Three Great Empires and the great University.

For it was the sacred land of alchemists on the Tiandu Continent!

If Danxin Palace was the gathering place for alchemists of Xiafeng Country, then the Pill God Temple was the destination for almost all alchemists on the entire Tiandu Continent, housing virtually all of the top Alchemy Masters.

This is why the Pill God Temple’s frightening power was far beyond what Danxin Palace could compare to, with an exceedingly vast gap.

If Danxin Palace could command respect from the Xiafeng Royal Family, then the Pill God Temple was an alchemist force that all of the 108 Countries of the entire Tiandu Continent dared not provoke, and even the Three Great Empires and the great University had to treat with the utmost respect.

Every alchemist was an existence who could command wind and rain, able to summon a host of fighters to their aid at any moment, and the Pill God Temple gathered almost all of these alchemists, so the power they could summon was imaginable.

However, joining the Pill God Temple was not something any alchemist could do. Those One-star Alchemists were at most only the lowest peripherals, and only those who had reached the level of a Second Star Alchemist and above were qualified to become true members of the Pill God Temple.

For this reason, the Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference, organized by the Pill God Temple every ten years for the young generation, also had extremely high value, attracting countless young alchemical geniuses to participate.

Because at every Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference, some real Alchemy Masters from within the Pill God Temple would appear, sometimes even providing guidance, and on rare occasions when in high spirits, even recruiting some young alchemists as disciples.

Once you became a disciple of these Alchemy Masters, even as just a recorded disciple, because of your teacher’s reputation, you were necessarily set to rise meteorically in status, soaring to the heavens in a single step.

Such an opportunity was not available for just anyone, and every Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference was thus a pinnacle event, with countless young alchemists eagerly joining the alchemy competitions.

Even though the vast majority were only of ordinary caliber, they also wanted to show their faces, holding onto the slim hope of a stroke of luck, where a distinguished Alchemy Master would take a fancy to them and allow them to soar to great heights.

Of course, there were instances of it happening, where an Alchemy Master in a good mood took a liking to a young person of unremarkable alchemy level and took them as a disciple.

But such cases were undoubtedly exceedingly few, with most cases not being possible at all, yet it did not stop countless young people from being mad about it.

Ye Chen took a look and then gave the ancient force of the Pill God Temple a few more glances, but he felt no interest in the real Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference itself.

On the other hand, Shuangshuang’s eyes were quite fiery. It was the real grand gathering of alchemy, and although it was just for the young generation, it would attract more than half of the alchemists on the entire continent to gather because many alchemists also wanted to take on one or two disciples with alchemical talent.

The Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference was like a treasure trove, where the young alchemical geniuses overlooked by the Pill God Temple were often the talents highly valued by other alchemists, capable of carrying on their mantle.

And Shuangshuang also hoped to stand out among them, even if not regarded by the top Alchemy Masters of the Pill God Temple, at least hoping to catch the eye of a Three-star Alchemy Master.

About this, Li Yun did not stop her, for he knew Shuangshuang’s talent in alchemy was extraordinary. He did not wish to bury it under his hands and hoped she could be guided by an even more formidable alchemist.

Although he had thought of Mr. Qian, he shook his head, feeling that was impossible. Moreover, he did not want to incur Mr. Qian’s displeasure by making an introduction.

Li Yun said, "The Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference is a grand event held once every ten years on the Tiandu Continent. It is a grand meeting in which only the younger generation’s alchemy prodigies are qualified to participate. At that time, it will bring forth genuine alchemy masters from the continent, a truly rare alchemical event."

"Although my Xiafeng Country’s Danxin Palace is always given the opportunity to participate, the results have always been mediocre, and on several occasions, they have been so disastrous that others did not regard us highly."

"This time, I had intended to send Shuangshuang to attend the event. After all, with her talent for alchemy, she is a rare gem within Xiafeng Country. Although she is still young, her performance this time should surpass all previous results. However, I hope that young friend Ye Chen will also participate this time."

At this point, he looked eagerly; having heard Ye Chen provide pointers at the Ye Family, he was deeply aware that the young man before him was truly extraordinary in the field of alchemy.

If he were to participate in this Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference, he would undoubtedly achieve commendable results for Xiafeng Country. Even if he did not make it into the top ten, Li Yun estimated that the top thirty could be within reach.

Shuangshuang also widened her beautiful eyes to look at Ye Chen, clearly also harboring high hopes for him to join this auction event.

But Ye Chen shook his head, "Sorry, I’m not interested in such children’s alchemy meetings."

When he said this, he seemed to forget that he himself was only sixteen years old in this lifetime and not much older than the "children" he referred to.

Shuangshuang’s eyes widened in astonishment, and Li Yun was equally taken aback. Weren’t you yourself also just a young man?

Ye Chen then realized his slip of the tongue, but shook his head without explanation. With the combined ages of his two lifetimes, even Li Yun might not hold a candle to him. Why would he bother with an alchemy event full of what, to him, were children?

Moreover, with his alchemy skills, those so-called alchemy masters in the Pill God Temple of this Tiandu Continent were not qualified to instruct him.

Li Yun gave a wry smile, knowing that nine times out of ten, Ye Chen wouldn’t participate; despite being only sixteen or seventeen years old and not yet past his youthful immaturity, the maturity he exhibited in many aspects often gave the impression that he was interacting with someone of the same age, which was quite strange.

"Young friend Ye Chen, although you won’t participate in the Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference, I hope you can take care of Shuangshuang when the time comes," Li Yun said.

Ye Chen nodded. The location of the Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference happened to be in the Central Land, and Tiandu Academy was also there. Li Yun was certain that Ye Chen would definitely pass the recruitment trial this time, which was why he made such a request.

And Ye Chen did not have a bad impression of Shuangshuang; he did not mind looking after her a bit when the time came.

After Ye Chen left, Shuangshuang could not help but say, "Teacher, is this Ye Chen really that amazing? Though his eye for alchemy is indeed very impressive; he saw through the flaws in my alchemy just now in one glance."

Li Yun shook his head and sighed, "My disciple, do not underestimate Ye Chen. His Master, Mr. Qian, is quite extraordinary. It’s thanks to Mr. Qian that I was able to become a Second Star Alchemist. The Refining God’s Method you are practicing was gifted to me by Mr. Qian. Moreover, I can feel that Ye Chen’s alchemy level is hardly inferior to mine; it would be a grave mistake to underestimate him."

Shuangshuang was dumbfounded; she hadn’t expected Ye Chen’s Master, Mr. Qian, to be so formidable.

As an alchemist herself, she deeply understood how difficult it was to move from being a One-star Alchemist to becoming a Second Star Alchemist. Otherwise, out of so many alchemists in the Danxin Palace, there would not be only a mere five Second Star Alchemists.

As for the Refining God’s Method, it was a secret technique considered as a Divine Treasure to alchemists, a priceless gem.

She had practiced it and deeply understood the importance of the Refining God’s Method, but she had never thought that it was a gift from Ye Chen’s Master, Mr. Qian, to her teacher.

Ye Chen, who exactly was he?

After leaving Danxin Palace, Ye Chen returned to the Gravity Tower to practice. When he appeared at Xiafeng Academy, many students cast their respectful gazes from afar due to the previous test at the Strength Stele and his frenzied slaughter of demon beasts on the battlefield of Demon Suppression City, as well as preventing that chaos.

Ye Chen paid them no mind and continued his focused practice in the nine-fold Gravity Tower. Although the nine times gravity no longer had the same effect on him as before, this place had seemingly become his dedicated cultivation spot.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and the highly anticipated auction event had arrived. Ye Chen rose from his practice, left the Gravity Tower, and gazed toward the Heavenly Divine Auction House in the Royal Capital. He slowly exhaled a long breath, and softly muttered, "Is it all finally coming?"
