Legend of Reborn Alchemist

The Great Elder's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with a ferocious gaze that seemed to want to devour people as he roared in a low voice.    

The students of Dongzhou College rebelled, and they even killed the academy's Seventh Elder, Shui Hui!    

This had already caused him to lose a lot of face, especially in front of Cheng Qinluo and the others. If this matter was spread to the Myriad Sword Sect, the elders of the sect would definitely think that he wasn't capable enough to manage Dongzhou College.    

Furthermore, this was not just a matter of losing face!    

The real problem was that the Blue Fire had been snatched away!    

This was what really made the Great Elder jump in anger. The value of the Blue Fire was something that even a fool would know. If it was because of some other reason that he couldn't obtain the Blue Fire, it would be fine. But now, it was because of the betrayal of the Dongzhou College's students under his management. Snatching the Blue Fire was equivalent to going against the Myriad Sword Sect!    

If the big shots of the sect suspected that this was something he had arranged beforehand and wanted to deceive the superiors and seize the Blue Fire... The Great Elder almost did not dare to imagine how the sect would deal with him!    

When he thought of this, the Great Elder could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.    

"Notify the academy immediately. Other than the servants who left behind the guards, everyone in the academy will be mobilized urgently, sealing off all routes to exit the mountain. Investigate thoroughly. Without my permission and order, no one is allowed to leave the Boundless Forest! "    

The Great Elder's expression was ferocious. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Bring all of them here at once and count the number of people. At the same time, identify each other. Even if we have to dig three feet deep, we must find that Little Brute!"    

"Yes! Great Elder!"    

The others hurriedly responded.    

At this moment, all the teachers and elders present understood that the situation was too grave. If they didn't handle it properly, they would all be in grave danger.    

"Su Deacon, the Blue Fire was really snatched away?" When he saw the ashen faces of the Great Elder and the others, Cheng Qinluo also realized that something was wrong. He couldn't help but frown and ask.    

"Junior Brother Cheng, calm down. No matter who snatched the Blue Fire, he will leave Boundless Forest in the end. As long as we seal off all the routes, we will definitely be able to find him." The Great Elder eased his tone and said.    

"Humph!"    

When Cheng Qinluo heard this, his face immediately darkened. He said in a stern voice, "Su Deacon, do you need me to tell you how important the Blue Fire is? If you can't find the Blue Fire, then go to the sect and ask for forgiveness yourself!"    

The Great Elder's heart sank. He gritted his teeth and said, "Junior Brother Cheng, please rest assured. I will definitely find the Blue Fire."    

Cheng Qinluo said in disgust, "That woman is really an idiot. As a cultivator, she even brought so many students with her, but she was killed so easily. She deserves to die!"    

The Great Elder smiled bitterly and nodded. At this time, he was no longer in the mood to blame Shui Hui. After all, Shui Hui was already dead. No matter how he cursed, it would not help. The most important thing right now was to find the Blue Fire.    

Fortunately, there was still hope to find it. Although the Blue Fire had been stolen, the Great Elder knew very well that no one would be able to hide in Boundless Forbidden Land for a long time. In the end, they would have to come up.    

As long as the Little Brute who snatched the Blue Fire came up, he would definitely be able to catch him. At that time, he would definitely skin Little Brute alive and pull out his tendons!    

In the depths of the valley.    

Lin Cheng woke up from his cultivation state. He couldn't help but reveal a strange expression on his face.    

"This is really strange..."    

He couldn't help but mutter.    

In the past half an hour, he had been trying to probe the Black Iron Chunk, but the result disappointed him. The Black Iron Chunk still did not have any reaction.    

Ever since the Black Iron Chunk mysteriously entered his Dantian, other than when he was testing the compatibility of the spiritual energy in Dongzhou College, the Black Iron Chunk was like a bottomless pit, greedily swallowing the spiritual energy he had absorbed. There was no other movement.    

If it wasn't for the sudden change in the Black Iron Chunk, which suppressed the explosive force of the Blue Fire, Lin Cheng would have almost forgotten that there was such a strange thing in his body.    

However, every time the Black Iron Chunk moved at the most critical moment, it made Lin Cheng realize that he had to find out the origin of the Black Iron Chunk.    

This was because he was afraid that it wouldn't take too long, perhaps half a year, or at most a year. He might even try to break through to the Core Sea Stage.    

And in order to break through to the Core Sea Stage, the most crucial step was to shatter his own dantian, turning his original dantian into a Core Sea.    

However, the Black Iron Chunk was in his dantian. If he wanted to shatter his own dantian... Who knew what would happen to the Black Iron Chunk at that time? What if the Black Iron Chunk acted strangely when he was trying to break through to the Core Sea Stage? If that happened, not only would he fail to break through to the ___, he might even become a cripple.    

Therefore, taking advantage of the unusual movement of the Black Iron Chunk, Lin Cheng immediately tried to probe the Black Iron Chunk, hoping that he could use his Yuan energy or will to communicate with it.    

If possible, he even hoped to force the Black Iron Chunk out of his body.    

However, the result disappointed him. After the Black Iron Chunk suppressed the explosive Blue Fire, it returned to its calm state. No matter how hard Lin Cheng tried, the Black Iron Chunk did not budge at all.    

However, Lin Cheng also noticed something unusual. He discovered that when he tried to communicate with the Black Iron Chunk with his mind, although there was no reaction from the Black Iron Chunk, he could clearly feel that the Black Iron Chunk was in his Dantian.    

But when he tried to communicate with the Black Iron Chunk with his Yuan energy, he was surprised to discover that his Yuan energy could not sense the existence of the Black Iron Chunk at all!    

If not for him circulating his Yuan Power and using his thoughts to guide it, perhaps his Yuan Power would not even be able to touch the Black Iron Chunk.    

This discovery made him secretly surprised.    

At this moment, he was already a Second Level of Chakra Stage Cultivation Level, and his Yuan energy was like a part of his body. As long as it existed, his Yuan energy should be able to touch it. However, he couldn't sense the existence of the Black Iron Chunk. Lin Cheng had never heard of such a thing before.    

"Could it be... The Black Iron Chunk only has a reaction to the Spirit Power?"    

Lin Cheng thought to himself.    

He remembered that when he participated in the examination in Dongzhou College, it was precisely because of the Spirit-measuring Stone that he separated the spiritual energy he absorbed. That was why the Black Iron Chunk reacted. Furthermore, the Black Iron Chunk did not absorb the Yuan energy within his body at that time. It only swallowed all the spiritual energy he absorbed by circulating the Profound Arts.    

"Something's not right!"    

Lin Cheng suddenly shook his head. He thought to himself, "If it only has a reaction to the Spirit Power, then when the Blue Fire explodes... I didn't absorb any spiritual energy, so why would the Black Iron Chunk have a reaction? It can't be that... the Black Iron Chunk is automatically protecting its owner, right? "    

Lin Cheng could not help but laugh when he thought of this. He did not think that the Black Iron Chunk had acknowledged him as its master. No matter what the origin of the Black Iron Chunk was, he had not had the time to refine it yet. If he couldn't even communicate with it, how could it acknowledge him as its master?    

"Let's do this for now. I should refine the Blue Fire first."    

After several attempts, Lin Cheng was certain that he would not be able to communicate with the Black Iron Chunk for the time being. He could only temporarily skip it and plan on refining the Blue Fire.    

Although he had only obtained a third of the entire Blue Fire, it did not seem like much. In reality, that was only relative. If the third Blue Fire appeared in the outside world, it was enough to cause even the most powerful of Cultivation Level alchemists to go crazy. I'm afraid they're all tempted.    

At least, according to what Lin Cheng knew, even in the Cultivation Realm, it wasn't that easy to obtain a Heaven-earth Genuine Fire.    

This also made Lin Cheng feel lucky. Luckily, he only obtained a single strand of Blue Fire in his previous life. Furthermore, only a few people knew about it. Otherwise, ... Once the news spread out, even with the protection of Ann Ya and the entire Tianwu Country, with Zuo Mu's personal bodyguard, he would have been taken away by the cultivator a long time ago.    

Yuan energy wrapped around the Blue Fire as Lin Cheng began refining it.    

He didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. Although the Black Iron Chunk had suppressed the Blue Fire that was about to explode, if the Blue Fire erupted again, who knew if the Black Iron Chunk would still have some unusual movements.    

Lin Cheng could not place all his hopes on the Black Iron Chunk, so he was especially cautious and careful.    

Although he had the experience of refining the flame, it was still very difficult for Lin Cheng to refine the Blue Fire, because there was the origin of the Blue Fire within.    

The Heavenly Profound Arts circulated, and the chakram in his body rotated at an extremely fast speed. An endless stream of Yuan energy wrapped around the Blue Fire, slowly devouring the Blue Fire...    

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.    

Above the Boundless Forbidden Land.    

The Great Elder's face was getting uglier and uglier day by day. In the end, his face was ashen and his eyes were ferocious. He was like a ferocious beast that wanted to devour someone, causing the nearby students to subconsciously stay away from him. He was afraid that the Great Elder would vent his anger on him.    

After three days of investigation, the person who snatched the Blue Fire finally had a rough outline.    

According to the memories of the few students who were rescued, that person was not wearing the uniform of a student when they were attacked. This person had even interrogated a few students and told them about the Dongzhou College.    

It was obvious that this person was not a student of the Dongzhou College, but an outsider.    

"In that case, this person must have been attracted by the movement of the Blue Fire when it evolved. We have already entered the forbidden area before this, so we didn't notice anything."    

An elder analyzed, "He was able to kill the Seventh Elder, which means that this person's strength is definitely not low. At least, he is a cultivator!"    

The Great Elder's face darkened, and he slowly nodded his head.    

Shui Hui was a cultivator. Even if her strength was suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth when she entered the forbidden area, but she'll be at least at the peak of Chakra Stage. Furthermore... The combat experience and combat awareness of the cultivator was definitely not something Junior Cultivating Warrior could compare with.    

Therefore, it was now certain that the person who attacked Shui Hui was most likely a cultivator that was even stronger than Shui Hui.    

This deduction made the Great Elder and the others feel somewhat helpless. If the students of Dongzhou College rebelled, it would be better. It would not be difficult to find them.    

But if it was a cultivator... At this moment, it would be meaningless for them to send students and teachers to block all routes.    

"Hmph! A rogue cultivator dares to snatch food from the tiger's mouth under the eyes of the Myriad Sword Sect. He must be courting death!"    

Cheng Qinluo's face darkened. He turned to the people beside him and said while gritting his teeth, "Inform the sect to search for all the cultivator in the vicinity. I want to see who is so reckless that he dares to go against the Myriad Sword Sect!"
