Chapter 1980 Treasures
The one-eyed man stared at Alex for a short while. "Even in a crowd of so many people, he sticks out like a sore thumb."
The tall man next to him turned to look at him. "What did you say?" he asked.
"That kid," the one-eyed man said, gesturing in Alex's direction. "The one we met when we returned from the east last time. He's here too, and the remnant sword domain around him is quite wild as if he just came back from a battle."
The tall man with the gray beard turned to look in the direction he was pointed to and saw Alex looking in their direction, quite stunned.
He gave a simple smile and waved at him before turning back toward the one-eyed man. "We're here to look for alchemists, not swordsmen," the man said.
"He's an alchemist too," the one-eyed man said.
"A good alchemist," the tall man corrected himself.
"Isn't he good? Even jokingly, you considered him good enough to take him with us," the one-eyed man said.
The tall man rolled his eyes. "A Great Alchemist then," he said in an annoyed tone. "Now focus. You have to find me a great alchemist from the bunch. Look at that girl, does she appear any good?"
The one-eyed man looked down at the crowd of individuals and watched the girl who had arrived and waited for her opponent.
He could see some things.
"Her transcended origin appears to have been influenced by alchemy in some way," he said. "I can't tell much beyond that unless she breaks through to the next realm."
"Well, at least it is related to Alchemy," the tall man said. "Maybe she's the one."
"Doubtful," the one-eyed man said.
"Don't be so pessimistic," the tall man said. "Have some hope."
"I can't help it. I don't know how much time we have," the one-eyed man said.
And this old man, with absolutely no Qi in his body at all, was very friendly with the other two men. That meant he had to be strong as well, but the man had no Qi.
Alex assumed he was a body cultivator, but he didn't even have a good body. He was a lean, old man with barely any muscle.
Did that just mean he had an exceptionally amazing concealment technique?
The old man scared Alex.
He took a second to calm himself and finally looked around elsewhere in the street. Just as he was looking around, the crowd erupted as a figure flew down from the side.
A tall man with green hair and furry ears landed at the center of the road. Alex looked at the man with a clear sign of beast lineage. On his chest was a leaf-shaped pendant that proudly showed just who he was.
A Supreme Immortal Alchemist.
The man turned for the crowd, waving his hands in the air, letting everyone see him.
The woman who waited for him seethed in anger. "Greetings, Alchemist Wang! I hope you are well prepared for today's duel," the man said loudly as he clapped his hands once.
"Alchemist Ming, I do not wish to waste any time on your theatrics. Let us get this over and done with," the woman said.
"Oh? But the people came for a show. We have to show them something," the man said. "Otherwise, what's the fun in that?"
"Fun?" the woman looked furious. "Do you think I'm here for fun? Ming Longxin, you know what I am here for. Cut your crap and let's start. Whoever loses agrees to the other person's demand."
The Supreme Alchemist Ming Longxin gave an unreadable smile and simply nodded. "Very well. You seem to be in a hurry to lose, so let us begin. Whoever makes the better pill, wins."
"No cheating," the woman said.
Ming Longxin's face fell. "Wang Yanwei, do not overstep your boundaries. Question my integrity again and I will kill you."
There was no mistaking the truth in those words that came from the man's mouth.
The woman froze for a bit before taking a step back.
The man stared at her for a few seconds before turning around. "Let us get started then."
