Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 16: Young Pill King! Sun Family Invitation!

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Young Pill King! Sun Family Invitation!

Lin Xuan said, "I’ve already passed the assessment. I am now a Grade One Alchemy Master."

"What? You succeeded?" Sun Tian was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. "You succeeded? Are you joking? That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard."

Beside them, Clan Leader Sun added impatiently, "Tian’er, don’t waste your time on this idiot. Hurry up and take the assessment."

Clan Leader Sun was a Grade Two Alchemy Master, knowledgeable and experienced. He’d never heard of anyone becoming an Alchemy Master in just one month. Never mind in the entire Great Xia Dynasty; such a heaven-defying individual couldn’t possibly exist anywhere in the world. This Lin Xuan is clearly spouting nonsense.

Sun Tian nodded, then said to Lin Xuan, "Kid, once I pass the assessment, I’ll completely surpass you. Then, I’ll trample you underfoot."

After speaking, he turned and left. He simply didn’t believe Lin Xuan could have passed the assessment.

Sun Tian and his father entered the Pill Tower, paid the registration fee, and proceeded to the second floor.

"Brother Chen, long time no see," Clan Leader Sun said with a smile, greeting Chen Hai as soon as he reached the second floor.

"Clan Leader Sun, what brings you here?" Chen Hai asked, equally surprised.

Clan Leader Sun replied, "I brought Tian’er here for his assessment." He then turned to his son. "Tian’er, quickly greet Uncle Chen."

"Greetings, Uncle Chen," Sun Tian said with a respectful bow.

"No need for such formalities. Since you’re here for the test, come with me," Chen Hai said, leading Sun Tian into the Alchemy Room.

An hour later, the two of them emerged.

"I did it!" Sun Tian was ecstatic. "I am now a Grade One Alchemy Master!"

"Excellent! Excellent!" Clan Leader Sun laughed with excitement. All his years of painstaking cultivation had not been in vain; he was finally seeing the reward. A 17-year-old Alchemy Master is a rare sight in all of Yun Province, isn’t it?

"My son must be the youngest Grade One Alchemy Master in recent years," Clan Leader Sun said proudly.

Sun Tian proudly lifted his chin, feeling his future was boundless. I am the true top genius, he thought. That Lin Xuan isn’t even worthy of polishing my shoes. Just you wait. When I get back, I’ll grind him into the dust.

Chen Hai shook his head and said, "That’s not quite right. There is a 16-year-old Grade One Alchemy Master."

"What? Sixteen?" Sun Tian was shocked. That was a year younger than him. Who could it be?

Even Clan Leader Sun was stunned. There’s someone who surpasses my son?

Chen Hai continued, "Not only that, but this 16-year-old alchemy genius refined a top-grade elixir during the assessment."

Upon hearing this, the Sun father and son were dumbfounded. Who on earth could this person be? How could someone be so incredible?

As Alchemy Masters themselves, the Sun father and son naturally understood how difficult it was to refine a top-grade elixir. This was especially true for Sun Tian, who had only managed to produce a Grade One intermediate-grade elixir during his assessment, which was already his personal best. A top-grade elixir... I probably couldn’t refine one in my entire lifetime.

"I wonder which family this genius belongs to?" Clan Leader Sun asked.

"That peerless genius is quite low-key," Chen Hai said. "I can’t say much more about him."

How disappointing, Sun Tian thought. I really wanted to meet them. I wonder who this prodigy could be?

Clan Leader Sun, however, did not give up. This is a peerless genius, a Young Pill King! His future prospects are limitless! If we could befriend a genius like that, the benefits to our Sun Family would be endless!

He took out two invitation cards and handed them to Chen Hai. "In a few days, I plan to hold a banquet. I hope you can attend."

Chen Hai accepted the invitations with a smile. "Of course, I’ll definitely be there. But who is this other invitation for?"

"Brother Chen, could you do me a favor?" Clan Leader Sun asked. "Please help me invite that peerless genius. If he can attend, I would be eternally grateful."

Chen Hai hesitated, knowing Lin Xuan preferred to keep a low profile.

Clan Leader Sun quickly added, "Brother Chen, please just ask him for me. If he doesn’t want to attend, I absolutely won’t insist."

"In that case, I can only ask for you, but don’t get your hopes up."

Next, Chen Hai presented Sun Tian with his badge and qualification certificate. Sun Tian was incredibly excited. He immediately pinned the Alchemist Badge to his chest, eager to return to Cloud Sea City and show it off.

"Brother Chen, we won’t disturb you any longer. Please help us pass on the message about the invitation," Clan Leader Sun said, clasping his fists. He then left with Sun Tian.

Chen Hai also prepared to find Lin Xuan personally to tell him about the banquet. He immediately set off for the Lin Family residence. However, before he even left Bluestone City, he ran into Lin Xuan on the street. It turned out that after leaving the Pill Tower, Lin Xuan had decided to take a stroll around Bluestone City instead of returning home right away.

"Young Master Lin!" Chen Hai exclaimed, jogging over excitedly.

Lin Xuan was surprised. "Elder Chen, is something the matter?"

"Indeed, there is. Three days from now, the Sun Family in Cloud Sea City is holding a banquet and would like to invite you. I was wondering if you would be interested in attending?"

The Sun Family is inviting me? Lin Xuan’s expression turned peculiar; he and the Sun Family were enemies!

Seeing Lin Xuan’s confusion, Chen Hai quickly explained the situation. Lin Xuan then understood. Sun Tian and his father had learned about the genius who refined a top-grade elixir and wanted to invite that person.

"Do they know my specific identity?" Lin Xuan asked.

"No, they do not," Chen Hai said quickly. "Young Master, you prefer to keep a low profile, so we didn’t dare reveal your true identity. If you don’t wish to attend, I can refuse them immediately."

"Give me the invitation. I’ll attend." A smile suddenly spread across Lin Xuan’s face. I’m very curious to see the shocked expressions on their faces when they meet me.

After taking the invitation, Lin Xuan headed back to his family’s residence. Meanwhile, Chen Hai sent the good news to Clan Leader Sun via carrier pigeon. Upon receiving the message, Clan Leader Sun clapped his hands and laughed with delight.

"That’s wonderful!"

Sun Tian was also thrilled. Soon, the Sun Family will soar to new heights!

In the following days, Sun Tian went everywhere wearing his Alchemist Badge, causing a sensation throughout Cloud Sea City. No one had expected him to actually become a Grade One Alchemy Master. Such a status was truly extraordinary.

"Sun Tian has really surpassed Lin Xuan this time."

"Indeed. Although Lin Xuan placed first in the Heavenly Dao Academy assessment, that’s no match for being a Grade One Alchemy Master."

"After all, he’s a 17-year-old Grade One Alchemy Master!"

"The Sun Family is about to hit the big time."

"Did you hear? In three days, the Sun Family is holding a banquet to celebrate Sun Tian becoming an Alchemy Master."

"I also heard some big shot will be attending the banquet."

"They say the Sun Family moved heaven and earth to invite this person, who is supposedly a peerless genius."

"Rumor has it this person is extraordinary, having refined a top-grade elixir at the Pill Tower and been hailed as the Young Pill King!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Even the Young Pill King is attending the Sun Family’s banquet? The Sun Family has really made it!"

"Then we have to attend this banquet too! If we can befriend the Young Pill King, our family’s fortune will be made as well!"

For a time, all the major families in Cloud Sea City were in a frenzy. They all wanted to meet this legendary Young Pill King.
