Chapter 16.1: Luo Yun Chang Advances
Luo Yunchang’s eyes flashed. Though her face revealed abnormal exhaustion, it somehow proved difficult to hide the raging excitement on her face. Her hands quivered, immediately changing, and soon, a few seals formed on the tip of her fingers. It turned to streams of flame that flew into the battle axe. The somewhat maniacal battle-ax suddenly released a suction force from the void and devoured the scattered metal dust.
In an instant, the golden light on the bright red axe dissipated bit by bit, emitting a steady, heavy aura that gave off the feeling of a mountain pressing down on one’s body.
“Gather!”
“Fall!”
Luo Yunchang lightly berated twice. The two rays of light flew from her fingertips onto the battle axe, instantly causing the scorching temperature to disappear without a trace. The body of the battle axe suddenly became smaller and transformed into a mini axe. It landed on Luo Yunchang’s hand.
Luo Yunchang looked at the small axe in her hand carefully and immediately walked towards the crowd happily. Holding the battle axe in her hand, she handed it to the white-bearded old man in the middle and respectfully said, “Master Xu, please take a look.”
Xu Han’s gaze swept across the battle axe and smiled softly. “There’s no need to look anymore. The Rising Sun Axe has already reached the level of a Superior Grade One Profound Weapon. Yunchang, you’ve passed the examination.”
Clap, clap, clap, clap!
Luo Yunchang was overjoyed. She was so excited that she could not control herself. “Thank you, Master Xu, and to the many other masters.”
Xu Han shook his head and laughed. “This is all your hard work. It has nothing to do with us. I’m just curious how you managed to bring that Brilliant Gold into the Red Refined Copper. You’ve already failed the previous few times of examinations in this stage.”
The other masters became quiet and looked at Luo Yunchang in confusion.
That young and tender face whose voice was calm and elegant instantly flashed through her mind.
“Though the Red Refined Copper metal is biased towards fire, the fire from the south is extremely soluble to gold, therefore, many arcane masters like to use Brilliant Golden when they want to level their Red Refined Copper Profound Weapon. However, the Sky Crystal Sand inside is completely different.
“It’s actually quite simple. Just treat the Sky Crystal Sand as an impurity and use the quenching essence to get rid of the impurities.”
“So that’s how it is!” Xu Han came to an enlightenment. “So it’s that simple. Yunchang, for you to be able to discover the secret within, it is enough to see that your intelligence far surpasses the others. Now that Sky Water Nation has another true alchemist, I will send someone to report to the King tomorrow. I presume His Majesty will be extremely happy to learn of this revelation. When the time comes, a banquet will be held to celebrate your name.”
Luo Yunchanh’s face turned slightly red. She had consumed too much soul power and vitality that it caused her cheeks to drench in cold sweat. It made her look even more alluring. “I’m sorry, Master Xu, but please inform His Majesty that a banquet isn’t necessary. I don’t wish to attract attention.”
Behind Xu Han, Yan Lei laughed. “This is a joyous occasion. How can we skip out on such a banquet? Yunchang, you are the number one genius of our Sky Water Nation. In just three years, you have caused His Majesty to set up two banquets for you. For hundreds of years, I remember that only Lord Yang Di ever had this honor.”
In Sky Water Nation, so long as one broke through the Martial Grand Master Realm or Grand Master Alchemy, the King would hold a banquet at the palace and invite all the country’s ministers to celebrate with him. At the same time, it would be easy for him to reward Luo Yunchang with an honorable title.
When Luo Yunchang broke through the Martial Grand Master Realm, she had a banquet arranged in her name.
Hearing Yan Lei’s words, Luo Yunchang hurriedly said: “Master Yan is too serious. Yunchang is weak. If she can be compared with Master Yang Di…”
Seeing that Luo Yunchang still wanted to argue he waved his hands and smiled. “Today, our Arcane Master’s Association needs to celebrate too. This year, there will be two more Warrior Ranked alchemists added. You and Jia Rong are both new stars in our Sky Water Nation’s branch!”
Another alchemist, Su Yuan Qiao, suddenly snorted coldly. “Master, if you were to say that Yunchang is a new rising star, then I would agree. As for Jia Rong, if my guess is not wrong, he is already deeply poisoned!”
Everyone was shocked and confused.
Xu Han’s face also changed. “Su Yuan Qiao, what do you mean by this?”
Luo Yun Chang’s eyes also flashed with a strange light. “Master Xu, I shall take my leave first.”
She was very smart. Upon seeing Su Yuan Qiao’s expression, she knew that some profound secrets had been involved and so she took the initiative to avoid him.
Su Yuan Qiao’s gaze swept across everyone in the room as he coldly chuckled. “I’ve already found out that Jia Rong faked his last assessment and used a prohibited item––Yin Wind Stone!”
