Chapter 905 - Battle Against the Elixir Lord (1/2)

The Elixir Lord!

He was the most powerful alchemist in the Northern Barren Land. As the Grand Elder of the guild, he was the former Guild Master and was very close to becoming a Heavenly Alchemist. After seeing Xu Yuan’s defeat, he could no longer sit around and watch the situation deteriorate.

“Brother, you will defeat Elixir Lord!”

Qiao Qiao waved her fists in the air, cheering for Chen Fan.

“Please be careful, Perfected Cultivator. Elixir Lord has not displayed his strength for a hundred years and no one knows how powerful he has become. But what am I saying? With your marvelous skills, you should be able to defeat him with ease,” the elder in grey robe said.

Chen Fan later learned that his name was Ge Yan and he was the elder from the Elixir Brewing Chapter in Donyang City. It was a small Alchemy Sect which couldn’t compare with the Alchemy Guild.

Ge Yan’s face relaxed after he saw Chen Fan defeating Situ Cheng. However, after Chen Fan’s victory over the Guild Elders, and the Guild Master, Ge Yan rushed to Chen Fan and addressed him with deference as if Chen Fan were his master.

Qiao Qiao made a face and jested, “Grandpa, you are twice as old as him. Don’t you feel ashamed to be his disciple?”

“Age is irrelevant in the world of Alchemy. Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood has heavenly skills, why can’t I call him master?” Ge Yan widened his eyes in indignation.

By then, he still didn’t know Chen Fan.

He seemed to be in his early twenties, a greenhorn in the woods among other Alchemists. However, he could form elixirs with just a thought. Such an unthinkable ability was very similar to that of the legendary immortals.

Ge Yan regarded Chen Fan and murmured to himself, “Could he be the reincarnation of a Medicine G.o.d? ”

Other than Ge Yan and his granddaughter, Chen Fan’s small quarter was visited by countless family clans and sects. Regardless of whether Chen Fan was a Medicine G.o.d, his ability to create superior-grade Treasure Pills raised him to be among the top five alchemists in the Beihuang Region.

Even w.a.n.g Xuanfeng sent his representative to greet Chen Fan.

Meanwhile, Hu Xiao was seized by a mix of regret and disbelief. He thought he had defeated Chen Fan, but he came back stronger and took the Beihuang Region by storm.

“I don’t believe he is a Medicine G.o.d. Elixir Lord will reveal his true colors.” Hu Xiao hummed.

Once the battle between Chen Fan and Elixir Lord was announced, Chen Fan’s visitors dwindled.

Elixir Lord had presided over the Beihuang Region for thousands of years, and no one dared to take him lightly. Rumors said that he had reached the Heavenly Alchemist tier.

“I don’t think he’s Heavenly Alchemist just yet, otherwise, the Alchemy Guild would already be the w.a.n.g Family’s rival. That being said, he must have improved his strength and skills over the last hundred years. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him being very close to that level.”

The Ancestral Patriarch of the Wu Family calculated. “We need to stop cozying up to Chen Fan for now and wait for the outcome of the battle.”

“Ancestral Patriarch, do you think Chen Beixuan is going to lose?” Wu Baisu asked with a knot between her eyebrows.

“That I do not know, but neither can we upset the guild. No one knows for sure how powerful the Elixir Lord has become. Don’t forget that he’s not only an Alchemist, but is also among the top ten warriors in the Northern Barren Land,” Ancestral Patriarch said prudently.

Elixir Lord’s involvement had taken everyone in the Beihuang Region by surprise. Elixir Lord used to make it to the Longevity Roll but he had been taken off the list a thousand years before.

No one knows how powerful this two thousand years old Grandmaster is, nor was anyone confident in taking him on, with the exception of the w.a.n.g Family’s Heavenly Lord.

“Elixir Lord will not give Chen Beixuan a chance.”

“Just so! Chen Beixuan might be able to steal the victory from the Guild Master, but he’s no match against Elixir Lord.”

“We the Alchemy Guild will not be defeated!”

Elixir Lord’s presence banished the dark clouds loomimg above the heads of the Alchemy Guild. The guild disciples beamed from side to side, unable to contain their joy.

Chen Fan might be a skilled Alchemist.

He might be more powerful than anyone thought he was.

He might have been undefeated so far.

But he was no match against the invincible Elixir Lord, the most powerful Alchemist in the Beihuang Region.

The development even brightened Situ Cheng’s mood. Disheartened by his defeat, his heart had been gripped by depression and melancholy. Xu Yuan’s defeat had dealt him another dispiriting blow. He thought he would never recover from it, but the news about Elixir Lord breathed a new life into him. Hope flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes, he finally got back on his feet again.

In fact, the Elixir Lord was the guild’s last hope in defending its honor.

Elixir Lord was going to battle against Chen Fan.

This shocking news caught everyone’s attention. Many family lords and Ancestral Patriarchs traveled to the State of Ancient Medicine to watch the battle.

Meanwhile, Medicine City was packed with visitors from all over the Beihuang Region. Overlords from other regions kept a close eye on the emergence of new powerful alchemists.

“Look at the size of that Dark Whale! That must be Lady Wu’s mount. Is Wu Baisu here?”

“Hehe. She is already here. That was the Ancestral Patriarch of the Wu Family, Wu Wendin. He is nearly three thousand years old and is very close to becoming a Heavenly Lord.”

“Really? Even the Wu Family’s Ancestral Patriarch has come?”
