Chapter 639: Still A Legend (2/2)
Nothing but respect could be found from alchemists regarding this topic since the Alchemy G.o.d had an incomparable status in their hearts. Without the Alchemy G.o.d, there would be no complete dao system for alchemy like the one today. Many Alchemy Emperors appeared since the beginning of time, but outside of the Alchemy G.o.d, even the most heaven-defying emperors didn’t dare to call themselves an Alchemy G.o.d. This was out of respect for the alchemy progenitor.
In the end, Madam Zi Yan told Ancient Pine: “Elder Pine, tomorrow, I will personally go to your mansion to greet Young n.o.ble Li.”
She didn’t bring up the matter of the Lie Clan anymore. To her and the country, the fate of the Lie Clan was not important. It was only another family in the capital, not one of her subjects.
In the meantime, in Ancient Pine’s mansion, Bai Weng received the news about the Lie Clan. He shuddered when he heard that their Fire Source exploded and Lie Jie died a terrible death.
He heard what Li Qiye had said to Lie Jie before, and now, it actually happened, so how could he not be astonished?
Although he hadn’t seen Li Qiye take action, he was sure that Li Qiye was the culprit even if he didn’t leave the mansion. However, he didn’t know how this was possible.
He recognized that Li Qiye was not as harmless as he seemed. Li Qiye was not only a genius at pill refinement and a generous prodigal son that could scare people to death, he was also the ruthless type. He would decisively make a decision without showing any mercy as he unleashed his thunderous wrath upon his enemies. The Lie Clan was a living example.
The Lie Clan’s sudden accident caused a huge stir in the capital. Overnight, some people were happy, some were sad, and others lost sleep throughout the night.
However, none of this had anything to do with Li Qiye since he had a great night’s sleep.
In the morning, when Li Qiye woke up, Ancient Pine and Bai Weng had already been waiting outside.
Ancient Pine stepped forward after seeing Li Qiye and respectfully spoke: “Did Young n.o.ble have a good night’s rest?”
Li Qiye glanced over at Ancient Pine and smiled: “Demon Monarch can be frank with me, there is no need to beat around the bush.”
Ancient Pine awkwardly smiled and rubbed his palms together to say: “Her Highness is here to see Young n.o.ble and is in the main hall right now. Will you meet her?”
Under normal circ.u.mstances, outsiders would find this matter hard to believe. The Giant Bamboo Country was still a big country in the Alchemy Realm, and Madam Zi Yan was its Royal Lord. As a Demon King with a Heavenly King cultivation, she would be regarded as a top character no matter where she went.
However, today, Royal Lord Zi Yan personally came early to visit with a sincere and humble att.i.tude — this was quite surprising.
It made sense if she was visiting an ancestor of a great power, but today, she was only seeing a young man, a youth without any fame.
The entire country would be shocked if this were to come out. Just what kind of character was worthy of their Royal Lord’s grand treatment?
“If your Royal Lord is here, then I’ll see her.” Li Qiye reacted very blandly and smiled.
Bai Weng, who was standing to the side, didn’t dare to comment. He knew that anyone else would have felt a sense of honor and pride, but Li Qiye reacted calmly as if this was how it should be. This was indicative of his heaven-defying peerlessness.
[spoiler t.i.tle='639 Teaser']The Alchemist Demon Monarch smiled wryly and said: “This might sound a bit absurd, however, there is a legend about an Alchemy Emperor that goes like this. The emperor was able to control both the Fire Source and Fire Spark. Another tale told of him controlling the fire of a Heavenly Tribulation, but yes, this is strictly fictional. It might be possible to control a Fire Spark due to the matchless flame control of Alchemy Emperors. However, controlling a Fire Source is a different story. It is one thing if the Fire Source is above ground, but if it is below, then even an emperor would have a hard time controlling it…
“Controlling the flame of a Heavenly Tribulation is even more outrageous. However, people speculated that this would be possible for an Immortal Emperor who was initially an Alchemy Emperor. For example, Immortal Emperor Yao Zu of the Alchemy Kingdom might have been able to control the Heavenly Tribulation’s flame, but other Alchemy Emperors won’t be able to. Of course, all of this is just gossip among alchemists and no one is certain of anything.”
“What about the other possibility?” Ancient Pine hastily asked. He was the first to find Li Qiye, so he was more anxious than anyone else.
The alchemist monarch went silent for a bit before speaking: “This other possibility is even more difficult to believe. There is a legend in the world of alchemists: there exists a Heavenly Cauldron in this world, one that is even better than the cauldrons of Alchemy Emperors. It is said that this cauldron can devour all the flames in this world as well as any Immortal Medicine. It has an extremely powerful Fire Source, the purest in this world, on top of the best and most unparalleled medicinal trove. In the legends, this cauldron could fly to the sky or maneuver beneath the earth; not only could it control flames, it also devoured countless fire veins. A Fire Source is only a simple meal to it.”[/spoiler]
