C274 President of the Alchemist Union
C274 President of the Alchemist Union
Although this senior brother of his looked fierce, he was naturally kind, so Lin Long did not mind.
Moreover, his eldest senior brother was obviously helping his teacher by keeping watch outside these rooms to prevent others from entering. That was to the point of disturbing his teacher, who was currently conducting experiments.
Cao Xiuqi was not weak, as he was at the late stage of the Martial Lord Realm. Adding to his fierceness, the only one in charge of maintaining order outside these rooms was him.
Lastly, his talent in alchemy was not that outstanding. He had been under the tutelage of his teacher for so many years, which was why he was barely able to obtain the qualification to be a second tier alchemist.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Seeing Lin Long not saying a word, Cao Xiu Qi said with a fierce face.
"Senior, junior is surnamed Lin, I am here to pay a visit to Instructor Kong Zhi." Lin Long smiled slightly.
"Instructor Kong Zhi would not accept such a visit. If you wish to meet Teacher Kong Zhi, go to the Alliance's registration to participate in the assessment. That way, you might have a chance to meet Instructor Kong Zhi." Cao Xiu said with a cold expression.
"You want to directly pay respects to Instructor Kong Zhi? "What wishful thinking." At this moment, a cold snort came from the front left side.
The one who spoke was a youth about his age with a face full of arrogance. He was standing next to a bench.
On the bench sat an old man in his fifties and a middle-aged man in his forties.
Due to the trees blocking his way just now, Lin Long did not see them. However, his strong spiritual will had already detected that there were three people waiting in that direction.
The other two did not have any flowers embroidered on their chests, but, without even needing to look at them, Lin Long could tell from the unique temperament that they were alchemists who were much stronger than the young man.
Moreover, that old man was an influential figure in the Alchemists Union, because he was the president of the Alchemists Union.
The young man and the middle-aged man, Lin Long, did not know each other, but to have the President personally accompany him here was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, he did not care much about the young man's words, as it was not because he did not want to cause trouble, but because he did not put the other party in his eyes at all.
Seeing that Lin Long actually turned a blind eye to him, the arrogant youth's face couldn't help but change. However, it seemed that because the two elders were right beside him, he stopped himself from glaring at Lin Long.
"Why, little brother, you still don't want to leave?" Seeing that Lin Long still did not have the intention to leave even after he indicated for him, Cao Xiuqi frowned.
After he finished speaking, he looked like he was about to immediately throw Lin Long out.
Lin Long took out a recipe from his bosom, and handed it over to Cao Xiu Qi, and said: "Give this recipe to Instructor Kong Zhi, and he'll let me in."
Seeing that Lin Long was actually taking out a formula and speaking so loudly, the youth at the side could not help but snort in disdain. In his eyes, Lin Long was simply dreaming.
This was simply a fantasy story.
Cao Xiu Qi also thought the same, but seeing how neatly Lin Long's formula was written, he accepted it even though it was pleasing to the eyes.
With a single look, he was dumbfounded. The pill this formula could refine was something that his teacher had yet to completely conquer.
Could this recipe really be able to concoct this Dry Cleansing Pill? Cao Xiuqi couldn't help but have such a thought.
He knew that his teacher had spent an unknown amount of time and sleepless nights concocting this Dry Cleansing Pill, but due to the fact that the recipe was a little incomplete, he still hadn't gotten a result.
Moreover, right now, the pill teacher was researching was the Dry Cleansing Pill.
The reason why Kong Zhi was so persistent, was because in the Chaotic Continent, due to the lack of an original formula and the complicated steps of refining it, this Cleansing Pill had been lost to everyone for hundreds of years. There was no alchemist who could refine such a medicinal pellet.
As a teacher in the Alchemists Union, and an alchemist who believed himself to be extremely talented, how could he endure such a situation to continue on? Thus, over the past ten years, he had been researching this Cleansing Pill.
It was not only him. Many alchemists took it as their responsibility to take down this Cleansing Pill. However, they were also powerless to do anything.
Thus, now that he saw that this formula seemed to be perfectly written, Cao Xiuqi was naturally surprised.
"Wait a moment, I'll go inform the teacher." After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Lin Long's reply and directly walked towards a room.
If the three people on the other side saw that this was the recipe for the Dry Cleansing Pill, their expressions would be even more shocked than Cao Xiuqi's. This was because they, who were much stronger than Cao Xiuqi in alchemy, naturally had a much more profound experience with this pill.
However, because they were standing opposite of Cao Xiu Qi, they could not read the words on the formula at all. As such, they were just a little curious about why Cao Xiu Qi was so surprised upon seeing the formula given by Lin Long.
Since Cao Xiuqi's skill in alchemy was lower than theirs, they naturally did not take his surprise seriously.
The young man felt that Cao Xiuqi was only being duped by Lin Long.
After a while, Cao Xiuqi hurriedly walked out from the room, he was still heading in Lin Long's direction.
He frowned and said to Cao Xiu Qi, "Xiu Qi, what is your teacher doing? It's not over yet, Mr. Ge and I have waited for so long, is it not worth it for him to leave something at hand?"
As the guild leader, he personally came to invite Kong Zhi but was stuck at the door for almost an hour. Naturally, Luo Hong felt angry in his heart.
Although Kong Zhi was experienced and knowledgeable in alchemy, although Kong Zhi had a weird temper and refused to give up until he finished an experiment, but he was still the oldest. He came here once every ten years or so, and just got stuck outside. Where was his face?
Actually, if Mr. Ge hadn't asked him to come forward and invite them, if Ge Xiangming wasn't the leader of the Sky Falling Martial School, and also a powerful alchemist, he wouldn't have come looking for trouble like this.
Who would have thought, that Kong Zhi would still be doing whatever he wanted after hearing that it was him and the sect master of the Sky Falling Martial School Ge Xiangming coming to visit. This made him even angrier the more he thought about it.
Ge Xiangming was a customer, yet he was still able to hold his temper. His master was already unable to hold it in.
Seeing that Luo Hong was a little angry, Cao Xiuqi stopped in his tracks immediately and said awkwardly, "President, I'm very sorry, but teacher told me to ask you to wait a bit longer, until he sees Lin Long, this little brother, before welcoming you all."
As Kong Zhi's disciple, Cao Xiuqi knew his master's temper, so even if he saw that the president was going to go crazy, he could only say Kong Zhi's intentions.
"What?" What does Kong Zhi mean by this? "
Hearing this, Luo Hong erupted. This Kong Zhi had actually seen this youth from who knows where, and then received them, it was obvious that he did not place this president in his eyes.
It didn't matter if there were no one else nearby, but there was someone like Ge Xiangming. Where could one put that old face of his?
It was not only Luo Hong who was going crazy, even Ge Xiangming's face was turning ugly. He was the dignified Sect Master, so how could he wait here for so long and not be as good as an ordinary teenager?
It had to be known that his Sky Falling Martial School was not an ordinary sect, but a great power that could cause waves in the Chaotic Continent. Otherwise, why would the president of the Alchemists Union accompany him here?
He admired Kong Zhi's knowledge and experience, and wanted to ask him about the problems he had recently in refining medicine. Unexpectedly, he was ignored like this, and the more Ge Xiangming thought about it, the angrier he got.

However, since Luo Hong had already expressed his dissatisfaction, he still endured. He wanted to see what the young man in front of him had to say.
Although his face was fierce and his strength was strong, how could Cao Xiuqi withstand the suppression of Luo Hong's body under his rage? When he spoke, his voice was already trembling uncontrollably, "President, I'm sorry. Teacher must have his reasons for doing this, so stop making things difficult for me!"
Hearing Cao Xiuqi's words, Luo Hong was so angry that his chest was moving up and down. He wanted to rush in directly, but when he thought about the consequences of doing so, he held in his anger.
"Good, very good. I want to see exactly what kind of reason does Kong Zhi have. If there's no reason to satisfy me, I will definitely lock him up in the Pure Heart Pavilion and keep him locked for a year." Luo Hong said fiercely.
If it were any ordinary person, he would have directly said that he was expelled from the Alchemists Union, but how could a talent like Kong Zhi be expelled?
Moreover, he knew that for a person who viewed alchemy as his life, confinement was undoubtedly the biggest punishment.
After saying that, Luo Hong angrily sat back down on the bench.
Although Ge Xiangming was angry, Luo Hong had already said it so heavily, what else could he say?
Therefore, he could only follow Luo Hong and sit back down.
As for the young man, he only dared to look down on the seemingly weak Lin Long, as he did not dare to express his opinion in front of such a powerful being.
Seeing this, Cao Xiuqi, who was relieved, quickly called Lin Long over and followed him to that room.
