BTTH Adding Points To Become Stronger

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Elder Lin is Truly Bold



The phrase "irrelevant people" was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a massive ripple.

The Alchemists present immediately became restless.

"How dare you! Boy, do you think possessing the Heavenly Flame gives you the right to disregard everyone?!"

"The art of alchemy is vast and profound. Without dedicating enough time and effort, you won't achieve anything. You're so young, even if you started learning in the womb, you couldn't surpass me."

"Young people today really have no self-awareness."

Various reprimands came from the Alchemists' mouths, making the grand hall particularly lively.

"How arrogant, this person seems quite interesting."

Tang Huo'er looked at the angry Alchemists, then at Lin Xiu, who showed no change in expression, and found it quite interesting.

"Silence! This is Burning Flame Valley, everyone should know their place."

Tang Zhen's authoritative eyes swept over the Alchemists, exuding a faint but commanding presence, pressing down on them.

The scene immediately quieted down.

After all, Burning Flame Valley was Tang Zhen's domain, and as the Valley Master, his words carried weight, so the Alchemists dared not provoke him recklessly.

Otherwise, if something were to happen in Burning Flame Valley, it was unlikely any news would get out.

Although they remained silent, their resentful gazes still focused on the indifferent Lin Xiu, as if trying to teach him a lesson with their eyes.

"Valley Master Tang, since I'm not needed, I'll take my leave."

Master Huan, also a person with a temper, slammed the armrest heavily and was about to stand up and leave.

His face was full of indignation, but his movements were somewhat sluggish.

"Master Huan, please stay."

When he heard Tang Zhen's voice, a smile of expectation flashed across his face.

Tang Zhen raised his hand towards the retreating figure and quickly took a few steps forward to catch up.

"Valley Master Tang, he can already refine a Seventh Grade Pill on his own. Why do you still need me here? Do you want me to stay and learn from him?"

Master Huan was aggressive and relentless.

Before coming to Burning Flame Valley, he had already inquired and knew about Tang Zhen's urgent desire regarding alchemy.

Therefore, unless someone could produce a Seventh Grade Pill, Tang Zhen would undoubtedly be uneasy and would insist on keeping him there.

Moreover, Lin Xiu indeed looked young, making it difficult to feel reassured based on appearances alone.

A Seventh Grade Alchemist as young as him would be a rarity, even in the Pill Tower.

"I don't have the habit of refining pills in front of outsiders. If you want to learn, you have to become my apprentice."

Before Tang Zhen could speak, Lin Xiu's voice drifted over from behind, causing Master Huan's expression to suddenly change.

"You little..."

He suppressed his anger, glaring at Lin Xiu, who had turned around.

An invisible force burst forth from his eyes.

The Alchemists present, all with strong Soul Power, sensed this force. Instead of warning Master Huan, they kept their mouths shut, their eyes filled with anticipation for the impending confrontation.

As a guest elder of the Pill Tower, Master Huan had a certain level of pride.

However, just as Master Huan began to speak, he was immediately overpowered by a strong force.

He realized that the Soul Power he had unleashed was like a small stream encountering a raging river, instantly overwhelmed, with the river's force surging back toward him.

"Hiss..."

Master Huan stumbled back a few steps, clutching his forehead, his brows furrowed in pain.

It felt as though a needle had pierced his brain, causing a throbbing and intense pain that was extremely uncomfortable.

His face suddenly turned pale.

"This..."

"How is this possible?"

The other Alchemists, seeing Master Huan in this state, opened their mouths wide, their eyes widened in disbelief.

A clash of Soul Power, and Master Huan actually lost to a young man?

What does this mean?

That young man's Soul Power is even stronger than Master Huan's, who is already close to Seventh Grade. Could that boy really be a Seventh Grade Alchemist?

The purple-robed elder, Zeng Xiu, trembled slightly, recalling how he had previously dismissed Lin Xiu at the entrance of Burning Flame Valley. He suddenly felt a pang of fear.

Such a young Seventh Grade Alchemist, with a limitless future ahead of him, would be someone every power would want to ally with, and yet he had offended him.

Elder Chi Huo, who was also regretful, felt his eyes redden, his gaze almost murderous.

Zeng Xiu misled me!!

"Elder Lin wasn't joking with me after all?!"

Xin Lan was stunned on the spot. As an Alchemist herself, she could also see what the changes in Master Huan meant.

She had never imagined that, in addition to Lin Xiu's extraordinary talent in cultivation, he would also be so exceptional in alchemy.

Could it be that geniuses really have no flaws?

Tang Zhen had initially intended to help, but seeing Master Huan's state, he stopped in his tracks.

As the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, would I really be concerned with the feelings of a guest elder from the Pill Tower if it weren't for the Pill?

"Master Huan, shall we step outside for another round?"

Lin Xiu slightly puffed out his chest, and a force belonging to a Dou Ancestor surged from within him.

At this, the faces of the Alchemists became even more grim, and they all lowered their heads.

Not only is he a Seventh Grade Alchemist, but he's also a Dou Ancestor? Such talent is terrifying, and there must be a powerful force backing him with resources.

They remained silent, not daring to make a sound.

"Brother Lin, don't be too hasty. This is all just a misunderstanding, no need to make things too tense."

Tang Zhen walked up to Lin Xiu and gently patted him on the shoulder, speaking warmly, "I trust in your alchemy skills."

"It was my oversight. You're always welcome to visit the Pill Tower whenever you have the time."

Master Huan, still catching his breath, clasped his fists and bowed to Tang Zhen before turning and leaving the hall.

"Valley Master Tang, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Seeing this, the other Alchemists also quickly found excuses to depart.

Having already found an Alchemist, staying any longer had no purpose. What, were they really supposed to take a young man in his early twenties as their master?

If word got out, it would be a joke!

In an instant, the once-bustling hall became quiet, leaving only a few people behind.

"Brother Lin, if you can help me successfully refine the Pill, whatever you need, just name it. I promise to make sure you're satisfied."

Tang Zhen looked at Lin Xiu with hope in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu's heart stirred. He clasped his hands together and smiled, "Valley Master, are you serious about that?"

Tang Zhen was slightly taken aback, thoughtfully gazing at him. "As long as it's not something crucial to Burning Flame Valley, feel free to ask. But I'm curious, what is it that you want?"

"To be honest, Valley Master Tang, I've come here this time to borrow the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame."

Lin Xiu looked directly into Tang Zhen's eyes, speaking slowly and calmly.

Thud!

Hearing this, Tang Zhen's heart skipped a beat. His expression turned serious, and a heavy look crossed his face.

"Hiss..."

Xin Lan's breath stopped when she heard this, and her eyes became dull and lifeless.

Asking for the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame in Burning Flame Valley—this is indeed the Elder Lin I know; his courage is truly remarkable.

In the entire Central Plains, anyone who inquires would know the immense importance of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame to Burning Flame Valley.

Throughout history, anyone capable of mastering the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame needed to cultivate using Burning Flame Valley's exclusive Qi Method. Elder Lin making such a request is almost equivalent to asking for the opportunity to become the Valley Master.

"You're dreaming!"

Tang Huo'er snapped, taking two quick steps to stand in front of Lin Xiu, her eyes locked onto his.

The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is destined to be hers—how could it possibly be lent to someone else?

Moreover, once a Heavenly Flame is lent out, can it ever be reclaimed?
