Chapter 69

Lin Xuan glanced at Li Qiudao, whose attitude had drastically changed, and coldly snorted with pride.

Then he turned his gaze to Qian Tongshen and said casually, “I wonder if this is acceptable, senior?”

Acceptable… Acceptable…

Qian Tongshen gradually came back to his senses from the shock and looked at Lin Xuan, unknowingly filled with deep respect.

He cupped his hands and bowed slightly, respectfully saying, “I am Qian Tongshen of the Wanbao Merchant Guild and I am willing to lend a helping hand!”

Lin Qing’er stared blankly at this scene.

What did she just see?

One of the Ten Kings, the president of the Wanbao Merchant Guild, the Wanbao King, was actually showing immense respect to a sixteen-year-old boy, bowing his head in submission.

He has… grown to this extent already?

Lin Qing’er’s delicate face showed a hint of anxiety; at this moment, she seemed to realize that perhaps, from the very beginning, they were not people of the same world.

“Scattered Person, Bai Chiyan, is willing to lend a helping hand to Lord Lin!”

Bai Yan Wang, who had been silent, immediately came to his senses after Qian Tongshen’s declaration and spoke up eagerly.

Lin Xuan glanced at Bai Yan Wang; this person changed his face pretty quickly.

“Li Qiudao is willing to help Brother Lin. Brother Lin’s enemies are my enemies!”

Li Qiudao’s deep True Qi surged into the sky. Although he hadn’t reached the divine power realm, he exuded an immense sense of pressure, not any weaker than the strong ones in the divine power realm!

Li Qiudao looked at Lin Xuan with sincere eyes.

Lin Xuan: “…….”

“Brother Lin, my nickname is Wang Hu, and my real name is Li Qiudao. From now on, if you need anything, just give me a command.”

“I just need you to help me refine a pill once!”

Li Qiudao said seriously, his face calm and breathing steady, making Lin Xuan feel that he truly was the son of the fortune of the Goudao Sect; his shamelessness was on par with his own.

Lin Xuan wasn’t surprised that Li Qiudao was using a pseudonym; he had known it from the start.

Looking at the Wanbao King and Bai Yan Wang, Lin Xuan knew this wasn’t enough; it was far from foolproof!

Even the two kings, who were almost at the peak of the divine power realm and had comprehended their life’s divine powers, would pose a challenge. Even if he used all his strength, he wouldn’t gain much advantage.

Whether he could defeat them was another matter; just from that extreme sense of crisis, if he wanted to leave, there was no way he could keep them here.

Suddenly, an aura tore through the sky.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect it would be Bai Yan Wang and Wanbao King. It’s been a while since we last met.”

A figure dressed in coarse clothes slowly descended. His gaze turned to the clouds nearby, and he smiled, saying, “I didn’t expect you to come as well; it truly is lively!”

Everyone followed his gaze.

“Principal!?”

Lin Qing’er exclaimed as she looked at the familiar figure returning.

Qi Xuan’s returning figure gradually appeared.

This scene made Wang Guang, who had just woken up, unconsciously swallow.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, among the Ten Kings, four had now appeared!

What a shocking sight this was!

To know the terror of such strong figures, one must personally face them; he was just a divine power realm expert who had comprehended his life’s divine powers, but in front of the Ten Kings, he would be nothing more than a mere hand’s breadth.

He understood this very well. If Bai Yan Wang hadn’t held back not long ago, he would have been dead by now.

The elderly man in coarse clothes looked at Qian Tongshen and smiled, “What did you do today to make such a commotion?”

Among the Ten Kings, Wanbao King might not be the strongest, but he was certainly one of the two with the most potential.

As for the other one, that would be Chu Ling Wang.

Qian Tongshen did not show the slightest dissatisfaction at being addressed in such a manner.

The elderly man in coarse clothes was an old veteran of the royal family, the foundation of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the first king among the Ten Kings, Bai Zhan Wang, who had lived for nearly five hundred years. His strength was unfathomable.

Qian Tongshen shook his head and replied with a smile, “The commotion just now wasn’t caused by me; it was made by Brother Lin Xuan.”

Following Qian Tongshen’s gesture, the elderly man’s eyes widened in surprise as he saw a young boy whose youthful features had only just begun to fade, exuding an extraordinary demeanor. Even when meeting his gaze, his eyes were extraordinarily calm, almost as if he were just a passerby.

Qian Tongshen looked at Lin Xuan and introduced, “This is Bai Zhan Wang, the first among the Ten Kings of the Great Yan.”

After introducing Lin Xuan, Qian Tongshen, under the puzzled gaze of the elderly man, continued, “This is Lin Xuan, a fifth-grade alchemist; the pills from earlier were also refined by him.”

“What!!!”

Both the elderly man and Qi Xuan looked at Lin Xuan in astonishment.

What kind of joke is this? He’s so young, probably not even twenty, and he’s a fifth-grade alchemist?

Are they crazy, or is this world crazy?

“It’s true what Qian said,” Bai Yan Wang chimed in. “I know it’s hard for you to imagine, but the energy fluctuation just now indeed came from under my watch.”

The elderly man and Principal Qi exchanged glances, and the elderly man stepped forward cautiously, asking, “Might I ask if this young gentleman could show me the pills you refined earlier?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan took out the pills he had just placed in his storage ring. As he opened the jade box, a golden light burst forth, and a rich medicinal fragrance surged toward them, overwhelming them with vitality, causing the elderly man’s face to flush.

“Legend… it’s really true!”

“Perfect-grade… pills… there really are perfect-grade quality pills!”

The elderly man’s expression was excited, and his body trembled slightly. The rich vitality stirred a sense of greed within him; he could sense that his fortune… was coming!

“If the senior is willing to help me eradicate the Su family, I will refine a fifth-grade pill for every divine power realm expert killed, and you two will receive two pills, with no upper limit…”

“Furthermore, if someone of your level helps me deal with the Su family, I will naturally refine a sixth-grade pill for them, which can also be counted as five fifth-grade pills.”

Lin Xuan looked at the elderly man, whose emotions were stirred, and said calmly.

“The Su family… are they the Dan Wang Su family?”

The elderly man furrowed his brows. The Su family had long been established in the Great Yan Dynasty… they had many connections everywhere. If such a huge family were targeted without reason… it would make one think of the saying about the cunning rabbit dying, and the hounds being cooked.

“May I ask what reason the young gentleman has for targeting the Su family?”

It wasn’t that his royal family was ungrateful, but perfect-grade pills… were simply too tempting. Moreover, a mere fifth-grade inherited family, with a twenty-year-old fifth-grade alchemist, even a fool would know how to choose.

Besides, he was afraid… afraid that if he declined, the few beside him would join forces to keep him here!

Lin Xuan looked at the elderly man, suddenly smiled, but the smile conveyed an unparalleled killing intent.

“Unfounded!”
