Chapter 900   Alchemy Battle

“I want him!”

What Hu Xiao said was earth-shattering. Many elders and young members of the Alchemy Guild almost jumped. The Master of the Hu family didn’t want Situ Cheng to help, but someone else?

Countless people looked at Chen Fan.

“Who is he?”

A lot of elders were confused. They had never seen this young Alchemy Grandmaster in the Alchemy Guild. If he wasn’t a Grandmaster, why would Hu Xiao choose him over Situ Cheng? Was he some talent from the other Heavenly Regions?

On the other hand, the young members of the Alchemy Guild were dumbfounded.

They certainly recognized Chen Fan. In fact, the news about Chen Fan advancing nine levels at once at the Alchemy Guild Exam had already circulated around the Alchemy Guild. Many people had heard of his name even though they hadn’t seen him in person. And yet, Situ Cheng becoming Elixir Lord’s disciple was a more astonishing piece of news, which was why Situ Cheng took the spotlight.

Yan Wuwang, Jiang Han, Wu Qinyan and Lin Mengchen were all startled.

Why would Hu Xiao choose Chen Fan? Chen Fan was much weaker than Situ Cheng in every aspect. Wu Qinyan even looked doubtful and confused.

“Master, do you want to pick him?”

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

An elder surrounded by fire said, “Who’s this guy, Guild Master? Situ Cheng is a disciple of Elixir Lord. He’s as powerful as many elders here!”

The speaker was Grandmaster Chenyan, who ranked seventh among the elders. He was good at controlling fire and was known as the best in the Beihuang Region. Grandmaster Chenyan was responsible for regulations and he had a fiery temper. Even the Guild Master would be scared when he was enraged.

“This is a level two alchemist of the ‘Medicine Inspection Institute,’ Chen Beixuan,” Perfected Cultivator Wei Huang smiled and said. Although he was also an elder, he wasn’t as superior as Grandmaster Chenyan.

Grandmaster Chenyan grunted and said, “I’m afraid a level two alchemist hasn’t even touched a Treasure Pill before, let alone making medicines for Violet Moon Fairy. Master, you’ve picked the wrong person.”

The other elders also nodded.

Violet Moon Fairy wasn’t there for Heavenly Pills, but she wanted to make something with Heavenly Medicines. Even normal Alchemy Grandmasters dared not to take over, not to mention a level two alchemist.

“That’s bullshit! All elders, seniors or young elites here are more powerful than Alchemist Chen. He can’t even make superior-grade Spirit Pills,” Elder Situ also said.

Elder Situ ranked second among the elders and was Situ Cheng’s senior. What he and Elder Chenyan said completely banned Hu Xiao’s suggestion.

And Young Elixir Lord, Situ Cheng, had already recovered from shock and looked calm again.

He was confident that he wouldn’t lose to Chen Fan.

A few superior elders spoke one after another and Xu Yuan also thought Hu Xiao had gone too far. Even Wang Xuanfeng looked at Hu Xiao and gave him a reproaching eye.

And yet, Hu Xiao wasn’t angry at all. He looked at Chen Fan.

“Looks like you don’t know who Alchemist Chen is!”

“What do you mean?” the Guild Master and the others asked.

Wu Qinyan and Yan Wuwang were also in shock. Did Chen Fan have another identity? At the moment, Chen Fan still looked calm as he looked at Hu Xiao.

“Alchemist Chen isn’t an ordinary Alchemy Master. He has another name... ‘Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood!’” Hu Xiao said.

Most people were confused and they didn’t know what this name meant.

“Who’s Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood?”

“I haven’t heard of it, but he should be a Golden Core Cultivator. Perfected Cultivator Chen has already formed a Golden Core at such a young age?”

Some people, including Yan Wuwang, suddenly remembered something. Yan Wuwang came from the Tianhai Region and he knew the best. He looked up and stared at Chen Fan with a doubtful look.

“Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood is an invincible alchemist and the best Alchemy Grandmaster around the northern regions! Such a person should be able to make a ‘Nine Transformation Spirit Pill’ easily.”

Hu Xiao was smiling, but there was a glint of coldness in his eyes.

“He’s the best alchemist across all the northern regions!”

Everyone gasped.

The Beihuang Region and a few other Heavenly Regions were in the northern areas. Not even Elixir Lord would be that confident.

“The best alchemist in the north! An invincible Grandmaster!”

Elder Chenyan sneered and there was a black and white fire burning in his eyes.

“I can’t believe there’s such a peerless Grandmaster in the Alchemy Guild. Should we be happy? Should we cheer?” Elder Situ said strangely.

At this moment.

Even the dumbest person knew.

Hu Xiao wasn’t trying to help Chen Fan. Such an indifferent person claiming that he was the best in the world... This would definitely make him everyone’s enemy. How heavy was the title for ‘best alchemist’? It wasn’t something an ordinary person could bear.

“Alchemist Chen, do you have anything to add?” Xu Yuan asked expressionlessly.

Everyone immediately looked at Chen Fan and waited for his answer. If Chen Fan was smart, he would deny that he was Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood and the best alchemist.

“Yes, I’m Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood, but I don’t really like this title. It’s tacky,” Chen Fan shrugged and said, “As for the best alchemist in the northern regions... Well, that is also correct. I don’t think anyone in the entire Planet Tianhuang can make better medicine than I do.”

Chen Fan told the truth.

But he didn’t know how astonishing it was.

“Hm!”

Grandmaster Chenyan was enraged.

Elder Situ even yelled, “How arrogant!”

The other elders were also furious. Many young members even shouted at Chen Fan, saying that he was disrespectful. Even the “Heavenly Lord of Ancient Medicine” wouldn’t have dared to call himself the best on Planet Tianhuang! If this title were to spread, the entire Alchemy Guild would be in trouble. A lot of young alchemists who used to admire Chen Fan, including Lin Mengchen, were disappointed.

Situ Cheng shook his head and his eyes were full of disdain.

He had never seen Chen Fan as an opponent.

“That’s not a wise move.”

Wu Qinyan frowned.

Wu Qinyan thought Chen Fan was only getting carried away, but he seemed to have lost his mind. How could he say something like that?

“Guild Master Xu, looks like your disciple has got personality!”

Wang Xuanfeng snickered.

He stared at Chen Fan, but Chen Fan smiled and didn’t mind at all.

Guild Master Xu glared at Chen Fan and said with an upset look, “This is my fault. Please forgive me.”

“Alchemist Chen, I don’t care where you came from or what you’re planning, but the Alchemy Guild only wants loyal disciples. We can’t accept somebody as haughty as you.”

Xu Yuan yelled, “Where’s the Regulation Elder? Banish him out of the Alchemy Guild, abolish his title, take back all the Alchemy Arts and tell all the other sects, families and guilds to never accept him as a disciple.”

Since Xu Yuan was the Guild Master, his orders had to be obeyed.

Grandmaster Chenyan, who was in charge of regulations, stepped forward.

Everyone present turned paler as Xu Yuan spoke. In the end, the young disciples could only look at Chen Fan with pity.

Chen Fan couldn’t even be an alchemist in the future. No one would hire Chen Fan again, or they would offend the entire world of alchemy and countless alchemists.

“It’s horrible.”

Someone shook his head.

“He deserves it. How dare he talk to the Guild Master and our guest like that! The best in Planet Tianhuang? Is this something an Alchemy Master can say? If people in the other Heavenly Regions believe this, they will come to the State of Ancient Medicine tomorrow for a battle.”

Another person sneered.

Only a small number of people felt sorry for Chen Fan and most of them were gloating. Chen Fan had already made them jealous when he advanced nine levels at once, so they would certainly hit him when he was down.

Even Wu Qinyan heaved a sigh. She knew there was no turning back after the Guild Master issued an order.

“Alchemist Chen, please leave.”

Elder Chenyan walked up viciously with fire around his body. That Grandmaster was also a strong peak-stage Golden Core Grand Perfected Cultivator.

“It’s over.”

Lin Mengchen shook his head.

There was nothing to be done after that.

Situ Cheng turned around and stopped looking. Chen Fan was already dead to him and had no future in alchemy anymore.

Hu Xiao even narrowed his eyes and smirked. He still remembered Chen Fan rejecting him and he was thrilled to be able to take Chen Fan down with the help of the Alchemy Guild.

Only Violet Moon Fairy frowned.

She still didn’t understand Chen Fan and he sounded suspicious, especially when he knew about the “Heavenly Ginseng of Nine Spirits.” And yet, she didn’t think Chen Fan could resist with so many elders present.

When Elder Chenyan was ten feet away from Chen Fan, Chen Fan suddenly chuckled.

He looked at Xu Yuan and said, “Guild Master Xu, I’m here to say goodbye to you. I’m leaving the Alchemy Guild.”

Xu Yuan looked cold.

Elder Situ even snickered. “It’s too late to admit your mistake. Have you already forgotten what you said?”

“Admit my mistake?” Chen Fan shook his head and chuckled. “You’ve misunderstood me. The Alchemy Guild is just an ant in my eyes. I could have robbed the Alchemy Guild and killed you all if I wanted to.”

Then, Chen Fan continued, regardless of the furious looks of the elders and disciples.

“I was thinking to trade with Guild Master Xu before I left, but now, I’ve changed my mind. I won’t let you get away with it so easily.”

“What do you want to do?” Xu Yuan wondered.

“I want to have an alchemy battle with the Alchemy Guild!

“The winner lives!” Chen Fan said.

Everyone was stunned.

The entire hall was in silence and the others were completely terrified.
