Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 62 - 62 62 Getting Ambushed

62: Chapter 62: Getting Ambushed 62: Chapter 62: Getting Ambushed “I need a reason.”

Long Yan was extremely shocked at heart.

He guessed that Lingxi’s background was significant, and now his judgment was confirmed.

Lingxi’s origin was indeed huge, even a strong one like the old woman was just Lingxi’s servant.

“The reason is simple, since you know that Heterochromia is a treasure and can still give it to your friend without hesitation, it shows that your character is not bad.

This old woman has some discernment in this regard.”

The old woman had been secretly observing Long Yan, not missing any detail, and had some understanding of Long Yan.

In other words, she values Long Yan’s character and potential, rather than his current strength.

Lingxi and Fat Cat had never left the Underground Snow Mountain, knowing nothing about the outside world.

With Long Yan, she would be more at ease.

As for the rest, with Fat Cat’s strength, protecting Lingxi was absolutely no problem.

“My character has always been good.”

Long Yan raised his eyebrows, saying, “What benefits do I get?”

“You took away the Strange Fire, and drank an entire pool of Spiritual Liquid, as well as the Heterochromia in your friend’s hand, these are your benefits.

If you don’t agree, I can take back all these things and even kill you in a moment,” the old woman said calmly.

“Don’t mention that pool of Spiritual Liquid, I would rather not have gotten it.”

Long Yan shuddered when he thought of the Spiritual Liquid, “Give me some time to consider.”

“Either agree to my terms or die, you decide.”

The old woman said.

“It seems that I have no choice.”

Long Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, “I want to know the origin of that Heterochromia.”

“That Heterochromia is called Eye of Destruction, it is an Innate Heterochromatic Eye.

It was given to me by my Master.

As for the specifics, I’m not sure.”

Back then, Lingxi’s mother gave the Eye of Destruction to the old woman with the intention of having her use it to cultivate a genius to protect Lingxi.

The old woman hadn’t found a suitable candidate until Long Yan arrived, so she took out the Eye of Destruction.

Unexpectedly, Long Yan gave the Eye of Destruction to Ah Man, which was beyond her expectation.

However, it was precisely because of this that she truly recognized Long Yan.

“What about the Snow Fairies?”

Long Yan was also curious about the Snow Fairies.

“The Snow Fairies are just life forms created by my Divine Abilities.

The Snow Fairies you saw were created by the Eye of Destruction.

The Origin of the Eye of Destruction is still in my hands, without the Origin, your friend cannot inherit the Eye of Destruction.”

The old woman explained.

“Creating life forms with Divine Abilities!”

Long Yan was taken aback, looking at the old woman incredulously.

Just how strong was this old woman, to be able to create life forms, it was unimaginable.

“Alright, I agree to your terms!”

Long Yan agreed to the old woman’s conditions; he didn’t have a choice.

“This is a Soul Imprint, which can control your life and death.

If you dare to harbour any ill intentions, the young lady can take your life with a single thought.”

At this moment, the old woman grabbed a Soul Imprint and instantly imprinted it into Long Yan’s Sea of Consciousness.

“You old witch, you dare to trick me, you won’t die a good death!”

Long Yan’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately cursed.

With the Soul Imprint planted, his life and death were at the mercy of Lingxi’s thoughts, effectively making him Lingxi’s servant.

“Young man, I forgive your ignorance.”

The old woman didn’t get angry: “The young lady is kind-hearted.

As long as you wholeheartedly protect her, there will be no danger.

I left the Soul Imprint in your Sea of Consciousness for the sake of the young lady’s safety.”

“Damn it all, I’ve always been the one to outsmart others, but this time I was outdone by an old witch.

I can’t take this humiliation, I admit defeat!”

Long Yan cursed in his heart, glancing at Lingxi.

He might have to treat Lingxi like an ancestor in the future, just in case he made her unhappy, his life would be in danger.

“This is the Origin of the Eye of Destruction.”

Then, the old woman reached out, and a gray light appeared in her hand, emitting the same breath as the Eye of Destruction.

“The Strange Fire you got is not complete, it’s just a part of it.

The other part is in Pill King Hall.”

“Only got half?”

Long Yan was a bit surprised, but since he hadn’t yet merged with the Strange Fire, he didn’t know the specifics.

Since the Strange Fire was incomplete, he would have to go to the Pill King Hall to get the other half.

“That’s right, where should I look for Lingxi’s relatives?”

Long Yan asked.

This was related to his own life.

The earlier he found Lingxi’s relatives, the sooner he could break free from control.

“Your strength is too weak.

All you need to do is protect the young lady.

The Life Skyvine is inside her body, and her strength will continue to increase as the Life Skyvine grows.

Once the power of the Life Skyvine is fully released, her relatives will naturally come to find her.”

The old woman said.

“Life Skyvine!”

Upon hearing this, Long Yan almost jumped up, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

The Life Skyvine was a legendary divine object.

“Granny, will you leave with us?”

Although Lingxi was simple-minded, she wasn’t stupid.

She vaguely guessed something.

“Young lady, you and Little Tiger have always wanted to go to the outside world, right?

I need to retreat and cultivate for a while.

You and Little Tiger can follow him.

Your master will come looking for you.”

The old woman looked at Lingxi with affection.

Lingxi was raised by her hand and treated like her own daughter.

Unfortunately, when she took Lingxi, who had just been born, and fled, she had already suffered severe injuries and her life was almost cut off.

Later, she had built the Underground Snow Mountain in the Snowy Demon Cave and drained all her strength.

Now, her time was running out, and she could no longer hold on.

“No, I want to be with Granny.”

Tears rolled from Lingxi’s eyes.

“Young lady, you must leave this place to grow up.

Your master will be able to find you.

After my retreat, I will come looking for you.”

The old woman could only deceive Lingxi with good intentions.

“Really?”

Lingxi was too naive and thought things were simple.

“Of course it’s true.”

The old woman nodded heavily.

“Then you must remember to come and find me.

Little Tiger and I will both miss you.”

Lingxi said.

The old woman smiled, and right now, with a wave of her hand, Long Yan felt the room spinning.

It felt like his whole body was moving through space.

“Young man, I entrust the young lady to you.”

The old woman’s voice echoed in Long Yan’s mind.

…

“In the blink of an eye, tearing through space, traveling thousands of miles in an instant, what a powerful strength!”

Atop a snowy hill on the periphery of the Snowy Demon Cave, Long Yan, Ah Man, Lingxi, and Fat Cat appeared here together.

At this moment, Long Yan was even more horrified at the old woman’s strength.

This was truly a heaven-reaching method.

Ah Man had no idea what was going on, her face full of astonishment.

Long Yan simply explained, and then briefly introduced Lingxi, Ah Man, and Fat Cat to each other.

“Let’s go.”

Having achieved their goal in the Snowy Demon Cave, Long Yan was ready to return to the Imperial City of Tianwu.

“Hahaha, Tiger Lord is finally out, roar, roar!”

Fat Cat roared with joy, extremely excited.

Then, the three people and one beast set off towards the Tianwu Dynasty.

On the way, Long Yan explained to Ah Man about the Eye of Destruction and gave her the Origin of the Eye of Destruction.

Besides that, he also taught Lingxi some basic life knowledge and experience.

In fact, the old woman had been instilling these things into Lingxi since she was young, but Lingxi was just too simple-minded and didn’t think things through as complicatedly.

Long Yan didn’t have the heart to instill complex thoughts into Lingxi.

As she experienced more things in the future, she would naturally learn on her own.
