Chapter 588 Shocking
Chapter 588 Shocking
Faced with everyone's questioning, Lu Chen was speechless because he had indeed not been a certified alchemist.
Ever since he learned the art of alchemy at Shennong Sect, he has been relying on his own divine consciousness alchemy method to make elixirs.
He has so many things to do in his daily life that he has no time to get certified as an alchemist.
However, Lu Chen's silence made Ximen Qinghong feel as if he had caught him, and he felt very proud.
This made him more certain that Lu Chen was not an alchemist, and he became even more arrogant:
“Well, well, well… Look everyone, a fellow like this who doesn’t even have a certified alchemist actually dares to talk about making pills. Isn’t he kidding about the lives of hundreds of thousands of cultivators?
As an alchemist, we absolutely cannot allow such scum to damage the reputation of alchemists in the world."
"This..." Jiang Jingyun hesitated after hearing this.
He had just used telepathy to ask Lu Chen if he had a certified alchemist.
If there was any, he would take it out and give this guy named Ximen Qinghong a good slap in the face, but Lu Chen gave a negative answer.
This made Jiang Jingyun very embarrassed. On the one hand, what Ximen Qinghong said made sense.
On the other hand, Lu Chen is his good friend and has saved his life.
Upon hearing this, Liang Chaobei and other alchemists remained silent, indicating that they approved of Ximen Qinghong's approach.
When Ximen Qinghong saw this, he was even more delighted, but on the surface he still pretended to be righteous.
However, what he didn't expect was that after a brief hesitation, Jiang Jingyun immediately said in a cold voice without giving him face:
"It is not your turn to point fingers at my Jiang family's affairs, and you cannot represent all the alchemists in the world."
After saying that, he immediately left.
"Uh..." Ximen Qinghong felt uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly when he heard this. He stood there in a daze, and then a vicious look flashed in his eyes.
His original intention was to show off in front of the elders, because on the way here, he also checked the physical conditions of those monks.
And discovered some clues and corresponding solutions, and happened to hear the conversation between Lu Chen and Jiang Jingyun.
So he thought of suppressing Lu Chen in order to highlight his own excellence.
But who would have thought that after saying so much, Jiang Jingyun did not play by the rules.
To be honest, even Lu Chen didn't expect that Jiang Jingyun would choose to believe him.
Seeing that his plan was disrupted, Ximen Qinghong came up with another plan, and then smiled and said to everyone:
"My fellow elders, I happened to be on my way here and checked on the conditions of those monks, but I made a surprising discovery."
Having said this, Ximen Qinghong deliberately paused, wanting to see everyone's expressions.
As a result, everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they looked at Ximen Qinghong expectantly.
"Oh? Nephew, what have you discovered? Tell me quickly." Liang Chaobei said happily when he heard this.
Ximen Qinghong was very satisfied with the feeling of being the center of attention. He then cleared his throat and smiled:
"I believe everyone knows that a terrible disaster broke out in Xinyang City in the early years. It was only after my master went there in person that the disaster was brought under control.
After that, I specialized in studying Yao Li and Xing Kuang Shi Sui Dan, and gained quite a bit of experience.
Fortunately, I discovered that the symptoms of the monks in this city are quite similar to Yao Li's... "
Next, Ximen Qinghong spoke eloquently, his analysis was well-reasoned, and he proposed his own solution.
After hearing this, Liang Chaobei and others couldn't help but look at him sideways and nodded in praise of Ximen Qinghong.
Seeing Ximen Qinghong's clear and logical analysis, Lu Chen began to look at him with new eyes. He didn't expect that this idiot actually had some real skills.
But when he heard the recipe of the elixir that Ximen Qinghong said, Lu Chen couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Because the recipe this kid mentioned was just a slight improvement on the recipe of the Apricot and Widow Stone Marrow Pill.
Lu Chen was sure that this approach would not work at all.
But there was one thing that made Lu Chen feel very strange. Logically speaking, Master Kong Dan had certified his name.
Almost everyone knows that it was he who developed the Apricot and Widow Stone Marrow Pill. Even after so long, those who took it still know his name.
But Ximen Qinghong mentioned the Apricot Stone Marrow Pill in front of him. Didn't he know these things? No matter how much he studied, could he know as much about the Apricot Stone Marrow Pill as he did?
Just as Ximen Qinghong was enjoying the flattery of the crowd, a figure teleported over.
The man was wearing a light blue robe, had a thin face, extraordinary appearance, calm eyes, and exuded the temperament of an immortal.
Upon seeing this, everyone stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
When Ximen Qinghong saw the person coming, his eyes lit up and he greeted him, "Master."
Only after Lu Chen saw the face of the person coming, he hid behind the crowd almost subconsciously, like a mouse seeing a cat, ready to escape when the opportunity arose.
Because the person who came was Confucius, who was known as the "God of Alchemy".
Before the last Hopeless Sea trial, Lu Chen pretended to be Confucius and was caught red-handed.
Later, he was taken to a hall and broke down the door. So Lu Chen did not want to attract Confucius' attention, for fear that he would cause trouble for him.
But with Confucius's level of cultivation, how could he not notice Lu Chen's existence?
However, as soon as the disciple Ximen Qinghong came up, he implicitly told us his discoveries one by one.
As a master, Confucius naturally listened patiently.
Ximen Qinghong originally thought that the proposal he proposed would be approved by his master, and at the very least he should be praised for it.
Who would have thought that after listening to it, the master just said calmly, "Well! Not bad! Keep up the good work."
He then turned his gaze towards the pillar in the corner of the hall and said with a smile:
"Lu Chen...are you coming out on your own? Or am I asking you to come out?"
Seeing this, everyone looked at the pillar in shock.
What shocked them was not that Lu Chen was hiding behind the pillar, but that Confucius actually said Lu Chen's name. From the tone of his voice, the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.
After hearing this, Lu Chen, who was hiding behind the pillar, knew that he might not be able to escape today.
So he gritted his teeth and walked out from behind the pillar, laughing:
"Junior greets senior. Today's weather is really nice. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really an honor for me."
"How dare you! How dare you speak disrespectfully to my master? Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to apologize!"
Ximen Qinghong noticed that Lu Chen spoke in a frivolous tone and immediately scolded him loudly.
You have to know that Confucius is a god-like existence. Everyone who meets him would be respectful. No one would speak to him as casually as Lu Chen.
However, the scene that Ximen Qinghong expected did not appear, instead he was shocked.
Even the other alchemists were looking at this scene in disbelief...
