Following my second uncle to raid tombs, one shovelful of earth led me to the world of immortal cult

Chapter 55 A Flock of Invitations

Lin Que's heart skipped a beat as he looked at everyone's reactions! He looked somewhat speechless.

Oh no! We've exposed too much.

It seems I've gone a bit too far!

Has the art of alchemy in the world fallen into such a state of decline?

As a steward of Medicine King Valley, how could he still refine pills with defective pills? It should be normal for him not to refine any defective pills, right?

It should be noted that Lin Que could easily refine more than twenty Guiyuan Pills from a single batch of spiritual herbs during his trial illusion.

Even with fifteen grains, Lin Que had already reserved some.

To everyone's surprise, of the ten pills Zhang Yuanji had, two were useless.

Even the Danwen (a type of alchemical pattern) only has three or five grains. What's going on?

"impossible!"

"You cheat!"

While everyone was still in shock and stunned silence, Zhang Yuanji pointed at Lin Que and shouted wildly.

After hearing Zhang Yuanji's words, everyone realized what he meant and began whispering among themselves.

"Yes! Is that possible?"

"Could it be true, as Medicine King Valley said, that person really cheated?"

"That seems possible!"

"..."

Lin Que said, both amused and annoyed, "What kind of cheating am I doing?"

"You proposed the competition, and you chose the venue."

"Even the spiritual herbs used in the competition were prepared by you."

"To accuse me of cheating is ridiculous!"

Zhang Yuanji angrily retorted, "Then how do you explain being able to refine fifteen Guiyuan Pills at once?"

"And they're all five-colored!"

"This is impossible!"

Lin Que shrugged and said, "What, you're making excuses now that you're not as skilled as others?"

"Is it because you can't accept defeat?"

Zhang Yuanji pointed at Lin Que and said, "You!..."

"Alright!" Feng Wuxue interrupted Zhang Yuanji, saying, "This fellow Daoist did not cheat!"

Just as Zhang Yuanji was about to say something more...

Then Feng Wuxue's tone turned cold as she continued, "Do you think I can't figure it out? Are you questioning my conclusion?"

"Hmph! You touched them yourself, and these pills are still warm."

"It's obviously freshly made."

"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible that it was cheating!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanji's face turned deathly pale. Then, as if he had just realized something, he said to Lin Que, "Is there something wrong with your alchemy furnace?"

"Say it!"

Lin Que laughed sarcastically, "You're really funny. Now you're blaming the alchemy furnace again?"

"I said that from the very beginning."

"If you feel this is unfair, we can exchange alchemy furnaces to refine pills."

"You are free to inspect this alchemy furnace, or you may exchange furnaces for a rematch."

"Well, do you dare?"

"But if that's the case, the stakes will have to increase, and I won't have that much time to play with you."

The audience below the stage now felt that Lin Que's words made sense. Lin Que had clearly said before the event that they could exchange alchemy furnaces, and Zhang Yuanji himself said he didn't need them. Now, they were blaming Lin Que instead.

Many people present had gleaming eyes and other thoughts in their minds. This person seemed to be someone without any sect or faction.

We must notify the sect immediately; such a genius alchemist must not be let go!

They tried to recruit him into their sect.

After hearing Lin Que's words, Zhang Yuanji was like a puppet who had lost its soul, his eyes vacant.

He knew he had lost, and lost completely.

After turning around, he walked off the stage, looking somewhat lost and dejected.

Lin Que shouted at him, "Have you forgotten something?!"

Zhang Yuanji didn't turn around, but simply tossed a small storage bag behind him. Lin Que caught it, opened it, and saw that it contained the five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

He happily stored it in his storage ring.

Another large sum of spirit stones has been acquired, which is truly delightful!

After Zhang Yuanji stepped off the stage, he glanced at Lin Que with a gloomy look. The crowd parted to make way for him, and then he left without looking back.

Lin Que also noticed Zhang Yuanji's gloomy gaze, which seemed to carry some hatred.

It seems the other party won't give up so easily.

Forget it, take care of him.

If retaliation comes, we'll fight; if we can't win, we'll just run.

After all, Lin Que wasn't afraid of killing people right in front of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist, would you mind making my acquaintance?"

"I am Feng Wuxue, the third prince of the Blazing Sun Empire!"

Just as Lin Que was deep in thought, a voice as gentle as a spring breeze rang in his ears.

At this moment, Feng Wuxue's words revealed her admiration for Lin Que!

He thought to himself that a genius alchemist, even more terrifying than the steward of Medicine King Valley, was worth befriending, and that it would only benefit his future, without any harm.

Coming to his senses, Lin Que smiled at Feng Wuxue and said, "To be able to befriend the Third Prince!"

"It's my honor!"

"My surname is Lin, and my given name is Que."

After saying this, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Feng Wuxue.

Lin Que shared the same thought. After all, this was the Third Prince of the Empire. Getting to know him would only bring benefits, not harm. It was like having a powerful backer, and who knows, he might need his help in the future.

"Hahaha! It's a pleasure to meet a genius like Brother Lin!"

When Feng Wuxue saw Lin Que readily agree, she was overjoyed. As a member of the royal family, she knew that only by expanding her network could she gain more support in the future.

As for where Lin Que learned his alchemy skills, Feng Wuxue wisely refrained from asking, as that was his secret.

Asking any further questions would seem inappropriate; making friends is enough.

"And me! And me!"

"My name is Feng Caixi!"

At this moment, the Fifth Princess jumped up and called out, reminding the two not to ignore her, her actions were extremely cute.

Lin Que and Feng Wuxue exchanged a glance and both laughed.

"Brother! What are you laughing at!"

"You still owe me that seven-colored glass lamp!"

Seeing her elder brother laughing so happily, Feng Caixi couldn't help but shake his sleeve in protest.

Seeing this, Feng Wuxue shook his head with a wry smile and said to Lin Que, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Lin."

“This is my imperial younger sister, Feng Caixi.”

"He was also the one Father Emperor favored most in our family."

"I just lost a bet with her."

"I didn't expect her to guess right. Brother Lin won."

Lin Que waved his hand and said, "Not at all, your younger sister is very cute, she makes people happy just looking at her."

Feng Wuxue said with a smile, "Now that the competition is over, my sister and I will take our leave."

"If Brother Ruolin has time in the future, you are welcome to visit my residence!"

Lin Que clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Definitely!"

Then Feng Wuxue took Feng Caixi's hand and left. As a member of the royal family, Feng Wuxue did not necessarily live in the palace; she also had her own residence in the imperial city.

In his view, living in the palace was far less comfortable than living in his own mansion.

After watching the two leave, Lin Que was about to step down from the stage when he was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Fellow Daoist! Please wait!"

"Would you be interested in joining our Heavenly Blade Sect?"

"The Divine Sparrow Sect..."

"Illusion Sword Pavilion..."

"Shenji Gate..."

"The Flame Spirit Sect..."

"..."

Good guy!

All the invitations came from various sects, catching Lin Que somewhat off guard.
