Chapter 652: Refining the Godhead (2/2)
The Ascending Moon Old Man continued, “In this world, do you know what people are the richest? Let me tell you, it’s none other than Alchemist Grandmasters! That is the reason why the rewards for the competition are so generous, it’s actually very common. Every term competition’s rewards are prepared by the Alchemist Grandmaster Association.”
“Alchemist Grandmaster Association?” Huang Xiaolong repeated the name. Due to his lack of interest toward alchemy, he rarely paid any attention to matters related to it. This was the first time he heard about the Alchemist Grandmaster Association.
When the Ascending Moon Old Man heard that Huang Xiaolong had never heard of the Alchemist Grandmaster Association, his anger erupted, roaring at the top of his lungs, “You have never heard of the Alchemist Grandmaster Association?! How can Feng Yang, that boy, become someone’s Master? In the future, never tell anyone that you are my, this Ascending Moon Old Man’s disciple!”
Huang Xiaolong’s lips flattened; it was you, old man, who wanted to take me as your personal disciple no matter what.
Then again, after worshipping the Black Warrior Institute Principal Feng Yang as Master, he didn’t really teach Huang Xiaolong much. But Huang Xiaolong knew that it wasn’t because Feng Yang was unwilling to teach, it was he himself that chose to cultivate according to his own method, and in fact, Huang Xiaolong’s method of cultivation helped increase his strength faster.
‘It seems like I need to make more trips to Master’s place in the future.’ Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.
Initially, agreeing to worship Feng Yang as his Master was because Huang Xiaolong wanted to borrow Feng Yang’s reputation as a layer of protection, he had never thought of wanting Feng Yang to guide his cultivation.
After the Ascending Moon Old Man vented his anger, he began explaining matters related to the Alchemist Grandmaster Association to Huang Xiaolong, as well as the alchemy competition. Only now did Huang Xiaolong learn something about the Alchemist Grandmaster Association.
Within the galaxy, anyone that could refine a sacred grade divine pellet was qualified to join the Alchemist Grandmaster Association, but the alchemists within the association were divided by ranks.
The lowest being Novice Alchemist, Intermediary Alchemist, followed by Alchemist Master, then Alchemist Grandmaster, and above that were the Special Rank Alchemist Grandmasters.
What Huang Xiaolong did not expect was the fact that this Ascending Moon Old Man was actually the Alchemist Grandmaster Association’s only Special Rank Alchemist Grandmaster!
Special Rank!
Mentioning his own Special Rank Alchemist Grandmaster status, the Ascending Moon Old Man was akin to a proud peacock spreading its feathers, “See, your Big Master is powerful, right? Haha, it’s not that this old man is trying to brag, but when it comes to alchemy, in the four galaxies, if this old man said he’s second, no one would dare to claim they’re number one!”
Huang Xiaolong curled his lips.
“Old man, if you participate, you can definitely win the first place, why don’t you compete?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
The Ascending Moon Old Man fumed, “You think I don’t want to participate? But, sixty thousand years ago, I participated for one term and won the first place. The Alchemist Grandmaster Association has a rule, those who have participated and won any of the top three spots are not allowed to participate in future competitions.”
Huang Xiaolong finally understood, but then again, it made sense. If the Ascending Moon Old Man participated in every term, wouldn’t every term’s winner be only him?
Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong asked about the deadline for the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition. Knowing it was twenty-five years later, Huang Xiaolong breathed out in relief.
Having twenty-five years’ time to prepare and the Ascending Moon Old Man’s guidance, Huang Xiaolong still had some confidence of winning the first place.
By the time he returned to his own yard from the Ascending Moon Old Man’s place, it was already deep into the night. Huang Xiaolong entered the Godly Mt. Xumi and took out the godhead that the old man gave him, feeling excited. With this rank five godhead, before taking part in the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition, he should be able to breakthrough to Seventh Order God Realm.
Sitting cross-legged at the center of the Xumi Temple, he began circulating the Asura Tactics to refine the godforce and God’s Law contained inside the godhead.
