Chapter 66

“It seems like it can’t be fought; I didn’t expect even you to be disturbed by it.”

The expression of the Hundred Flames King was somewhat disappointed. Following his gaze, a middle-aged man in a golden robe was walking over. The man was tall, his robe billowing as he moved with the wind, his eyes slightly squinted, and his steps were steady and light, each footfall echoing crisply against the ground, radiating an indescribable confidence and authority.

The King of Ten Thousand Treasures… the legend of the Ten Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce, Money God!

Behind the King of Ten Thousand Treasures, a beautiful golden figure approached Lin Xuan’s side. Facing the elder of the Su family, she smiled and said, “President Su, please leave. Lin Xuan is a friend of our Ten Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce.”

Su Dingzhen showed a reluctant expression, his gaze directed at the Hundred Flames King, hoping he could intervene.

The Hundred Flames King immediately stepped back, appearing somewhat helpless. He wanted the pills from the Su family, but he wasn’t foolish enough to risk his life for them. If it were just against one Ji Xuan Wang, that would be one thing, but now with the addition of the King of Ten Thousand Treasures, who was strong enough to be ranked among the top three, he could easily end up in danger.

“Hmph, a fine Ten Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce, what a little beast…”

Su Dingzhen snorted coldly, then prepared to leave.

At that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly surged, causing everyone to feel a sense of dread.

This person truly wanted to court death; he was simply unstoppable.

Su Dingzhen felt a horrifying burning sensation on every inch of his skin. He wanted to look back, only to find a white lotus had somehow appeared before him, blooming and surrounded by ethereal white flames, causing the very air to tremble.

Boom!

The blazing flames surged like a tide, blooming like a lotus, brilliant and dazzling. The intense heat made several powerful beings, who had comprehended their innate divine powers, feel a chill; everything touched by the flames was reduced to powder.

But that wasn’t all.

“What happened over there?”

At the same time, the Alchemist Guild, the Su family, and the royal palace all focused their attention on the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction House, feeling their hearts race at the terrifying fluctuations.

As the dust settled, everyone stared at the empty front, feeling a mix of disbelief and drama.

The vice president of the Alchemist Guild, the previous head of the Su family, a renowned fourth-grade alchemist of Great Flame… had just died like that?

“This kid… is truly terrifying…”

“What he does, he does without hesitation.”

Even though the Hundred Flames King already knew the outcome, he still found it hard to believe. He knew that with Su Dingzhen’s death, the capital would likely be thrown into chaos today.

He glanced at the two beside him.

Qi Xuan sighed, “This kid is indeed reckless. Although Su Dingzhen is despicable, killing him will probably throw the entire capital into disorder. The Alchemist family’s power is such that even the royal family wouldn’t dare to offend them too much; now they’ll certainly seek revenge at any cost.”

“I’ve done all I can do. What happens next has nothing to do with me.”

He stood with the entire Great Flame Academy behind him; if it were just a matter of opposing Su Dingzhen, it would be fine, but if it meant opposing the Su family, then the Great Flame Academy would definitely be affected.

“Dean…”

Lin Qing’er looked at Qi Xuan pleadingly.

Qi Xuan shook his head. “I’ve done my best.”

“Getting to this point is already my limit.”

Then he turned and left without looking back.

The Hundred Flames King looked at the King of Ten Thousand Treasures. “Money kid, what about you?”

“Are you still planning to clean up after this kid?”

The King of Ten Thousand Treasures ignored the Hundred Flames King and slowly walked toward Lin Xuan, a smile appearing on his authoritative face. “Good, I’ve long found that old man Su Dingzhen unpleasant!”

“Little brother Lin will always be a friend of our Ten Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce!”

Su Dingzhen… dead is dead!

If what his daughter said was true… the eyes of the King of Ten Thousand Treasures flickered slightly.

The entire Alchemist family combined couldn’t match the young man before him; today might be the end of the Alchemist family!

Thinking this, the King of Ten Thousand Treasures began calculating the resources that could be gained from the destruction of the Su family, knowing that the most precious items weren’t the cultivation resources but the alchemy techniques and secrets perfected over a millennium.

“What?”

The Hundred Flames King looked at the King of Ten Thousand Treasures with a confused expression, seeing the almost obsequious smile on his face.

Was the King of Ten Thousand Treasures stupid?

The Ten Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce was the largest commerce guild in the Great Flame Dynasty, wealthy enough to rival a nation. Could a fool achieve this?

Thinking this, a glimmer of shrewdness flashed in the Hundred Flames King’s eyes, and he stepped forward, closely following the King of Ten Thousand Treasures.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan calmly collected the ethereal blue dragon fire left by Su Dingzhen. Although this fire wasn’t as powerful as Dao fire, it had been nourished and cultivated by the Su family for hundreds of years, containing a terrifying amount of energy.

In front of the astonished gazes of everyone, Lin Xuan extended his hand and directly crushed the ethereal blue dragon fire. The blue flames let out a wailing sound before quickly disappearing.

At this moment, Lin Xuan’s aura suddenly surged again, accompanied by a terrifying gust of energy that spread like a whirlwind.

The Qi Sea… sixth layer, accomplished!

“Did he… just break through?”

The Hundred Flames King was dumbfounded, unsure why he felt a sense of relief at this moment, thankful that he hadn’t genuinely opposed this kid.

While others struggled to break through a small realm, this kid made it look as easy as eating and drinking.

Lin Xuan looked at the middle-aged man walking toward him and said, “Thank you for your help, senior.”

“I will compensate for the losses caused by the Ten Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce.”

Hearing Lin Xuan’s reply, the King of Ten Thousand Treasures waved his hand dismissively, unconcerned. “That was caused by that man from the Su family; how could it be counted against you, little brother Lin?”

“I am called Money God, and I am also the president of the Ten Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce. If little brother Lin doesn’t mind, you can call me Big Brother Qian.”

“Your matters are my matters, and whoever opposes you is opposing me, Money God!”

Qian Xiaoling glanced at her father with a resentful look.

Lin Xuan: “…….”

“What are you planning to do next, little brother Lin?”

“The person you killed earlier was the vice president of the Alchemist Guild of the Great Flame Dynasty. If you go to the Alchemist Guild for assessment now, you may not even be able to obtain the alchemist certification.”

Money God reminded him, “Furthermore, the rank you need to verify cannot be issued by the Great Flame Dynasty currently; you will have to go to the Qingyan Prefecture Alchemy Hall branch for the assessment.”
