Chapter 1245: Chapter 1245: Disciple of the Medicine King

Ling Xiao surmised that the four women belonged to the Tianlong Trade Company, primarily because he noticed the same insignia on these beautiful women as on Princess Yun Ya.

Thus, it was almost certain that the person seated within the sedan was the representative from Tianlong Trade Company here to attend the Alchemy Competition.

And surely enough, following behind the sedan with a wry smile on her face, was Princess Yun Ya herself.

It was obvious Princess Yun Ya was somewhat dissatisfied with the way the sedan’s master had made their entrance.

The four attractive women landed, and the sedan was gently set down.

The curtain was lifted, and a lively and graceful figure hopped down from the vehicle.

"Hehe, there sure are a lot of people, but I, Ji Luoyu, am naturally going to claim the championship."

The girl made no effort to conceal her ambition.

Her voice was not quiet, and everyone around her could hear her very clearly.

"Who is this girl, and why is she so full of herself?"

Someone asked.

"Shh! Don’t speak so loudly. Don’t you know? She’s the treasured disciple of Medicine King Sun Ran from the White Tiger Continent, and also the deputy head of Tianlong Trade Company on the White Tiger Continent. She is not only powerful, but her alchemy skills are also astonishing."

Among the crowd, there naturally were those who were well-informed and recognized the girl’s identity.

"She’s probably only about eighteen or nineteen years old, right? And she’s already a Yellow Grade Super Pharmacist?"

Someone noticed the Apothecary Association badge Ji Luoyu was wearing and was immediately shocked.

"You’re not mistaken, she is known as the Little Medicine King on the White Tiger Continent. Although she might not have learned all of Medicine King Sun Ran’s abilities, her medical skills are absolutely unrivaled across both Tianlong and the Divine Phoenix Continent."

What!

Upon hearing this, the crowd was abuzz, and many of the older pharmacists bowed their heads in sighs, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Some of them were over a hundred years old, yet their rank as pharmacists wasn’t as high as that of this young girl, which they truly found shameful.

Ling Xiao naturally heard these discussions and was also somewhat surprised by this Little Medicine King Ji Luoyu.

This girl was only probably two or three years older than him, yet her cultivation was much stronger than his, having reached the highest level of Yellow Grade, even more formidable than Dan Qing.

Indeed, the closer one got to the Heaven’s Chosen Gate, the more powerful the opponents became.

If Ling Xiao truly wanted to fulfill his grand ambition of restoring the Heavenly Dynasty of the Human Race, his current strength was simply not enough.

Once he advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm, he should consider how to go to the White Tiger Continent. Perhaps there, he would find more opportunities and his cultivation level could rise faster, which naturally would lead to a swifter increase in his power.

"Luo Yu, aren’t you being a little too confident? From what I know, there might be two people who probably won’t be weaker than you."

At this moment, Princess Yun Ya approached and said to Ji Luoyu with a smile.

"Oh, I know, one is Dan Qing from Changle Immortal Island, and the other, well, must be Ling Xiao who you, Sister Yun Ya, can’t stop thinking about. But no matter, they’re not my opponents."

Ji Luoyu smiled and then walked into the venue of the Alchemy Competition with her four bodyguards.

Today, although the Alchemy Competition had not yet started, some pharmacists who had just arrived still needed to inquire about the rules.

Ji Luoyu was no exception.

Ling Xiao chuckled. Ji Luoyu might be powerful, but she couldn’t possibly be his opponent.

With the assistance of his Mountain and River Martial Soul and the help of the Tai Chi Eye, he was virtually unbeatable among the ranks of Yellow Grade pharmacists.

"During the Alchemy Competition, let’s see just how capable you, this proud young lady, really are."

Thinking to himself, Ling Xiao’s figure suddenly vanished, using the Shadow Step to glide through the crowded throng of people.

He darted into the square of the Alchemy Conference.

After entering, the space opened up significantly, and Ling Xiao decisively revealed himself, fearing otherwise he might be mistaken for an assassin.

Locating the residence of Jackson Le Grandmaster was easy, as his Soul Power was so mighty, one would know with just a slight senseing.

The guards inside were strict, but upon seeing Ling Xiao, none hindered him, and even flashed him a smile.

Ling Xiao thought to himself that this must’ve been instructed by Jackson Le Grandmaster.

Although the old man had not assisted him back then on the long street, the small deeds he did were quite satisfactory to Ling Xiao.

Compared to many who repay kindness with ingratitude, this elder was much better.

"Young friend, come on in."

Before Ling Xiao could even knock, the voice of Jackson Le Grandmaster came from inside.

He couldn’t help but sigh in admiration at how the cultivation of these profound martial artists was accompanied by correspondingly strong Soul Power.

Walking into the room, Jackson Le Grandmaster was leaning on a couch enjoying tea. His body had largely recovered, but he was still not fit for cultivation or overexertion and needed plenty of rest.

The elder who he had met before was standing by with his hands behind his back, attending to him.

"Young friend, have you come to see this old man concerning the Alchemy Conference today?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster got straight to the point.

"Indeed, I’ve been unconscious for the past two days and didn’t get a clear explanation of how the Alchemy Conference is to be held and joined. With so many people arriving, surely not all are to compete at once, are they?"

Ling Xiao inquired as he sat down.

"Yes, indeed the number has exceeded that of previous years by more than tenfold; however, it’s not a problem, for the venue for the competition is very large! Moreover, our contest will be divided into several stages, and with each stage, the difficulty will significantly increase."

Jackson Le Grandmaster replied.

"It seems a bit like the preliminaries of a martial arts tournament."

Ling Xiao remarked.

"Hmm, it’s roughly like that. You don’t need to worry about the specifics; just come to participate tomorrow, and everything will naturally be arranged. If our Changle Immortal Island does not even have this capability, that would indeed be a shame,"

Jackson Le Grandmaster nodded and stated, "Ling Xiao young friend, there are quite a few capable alchemists participating this time, not only representatives from the Five Immortal Islands but even some from the White Tiger Continent. You must be under considerable pressure."

Ling Xiao smiled; he had guessed this much after meeting Dan Qing and Ji Luoyu.

Changle Immortal Island had much more influence than the Black Python Clan; hence, their Alchemy Conference was bound to attract many attendees.

Not much time was given for this event, so some alchemists from the Hidden World could not participate. But even so, the caliber of alchemists attending this event was still much higher than before.

"The junior understands. Just now outside the door, I saw Ji Luoyu, the disciple of Medicine King Sun Ran; she must be the highest-ranked among this batch of contestants, right?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"No, her overall strength only ranks fourth. There are three aged individuals ahead of her — although their ranks are the same as hers, their experience far outstrips hers."

Jackson Le Grandmaster explained.

"I see."

Ling Xiao nodded, understanding there were no age restrictions for the Alchemy Conference, so such a situation was normal.

"For this Alchemy Conference, there are four Yellow Grade Super Pharmacists in total, and ten Yellow Rank Top Pharmacists, with as many as a hundred Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemists. So, your pressure is not small. Would you like this old man to help you out?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster offered with a smile.
