Chapter 1326

“Who are you?!”

The new Tower Master who hadn’t even been officially appointed already began to act with the grand prestige of a Tower Master . He harshly shouted at Long Chen .

“Reporting to Tower Master, this person is…”

The middle-aged man who had brought Long Chen in was covered in sweat . He was one of the higher-ups of this Pill Tower .

That was why he had the authority to bring Long Chen here . But he hadn’t expected them to be discussing secret matters in a meeting that was supposed to have been over a long time ago .

By the time he reacted, it was already too late . He couldn’t interrupt them, and he couldn’t leave . He could only quietly stand in the distance without moving .

Facing the interrogation of the new Tower Master, he hastily reported everything he knew about Long Chen, even offering up his ident.i.ty badge .

Hearing that he was the champion of the Eastern Wasteland’s Pill Tower compet.i.tion, they were all dumbfounded . Zhuo Tianxiang carefully examined and confirmed that the badge was from Pill Valley . No one could fake such a thing . His ugly expression faded slightly .

“According to Pill Valley’s agreement, you had to come to Pill Valley within three years after obtaining this badge . You’ve already missed that time frame . What kind of sacred place do you think Pill Valley is? How dare you come late?” The new Tower Master shook his head at Long Chen disappointedly .

What kind of place was Pill Valley? Even the most talented alchemy geniuses of the Central Plains wouldn’t necessarily have the qualifications to join .

The Eastern Wasteland was a desolate village in comparison . Pill Valley only gathered disciples from there once every hundred years . In truth, that was just to play their part . Pill Valley didn’t really care about them .

The Central Plains’ Pill Towers had similar compet.i.tions every ten years, while the Eastern Wasteland only had such a thing once every hundred years . Just from that, it could be seen how great the difference was between the levels of the Eastern Wasteland and the Central Plains . The Eastern Wasteland’s compet.i.tion was nothing more than a formality for Pill Valley .

Those who could obtain such qualifications in the Eastern Wasteland were all simply lucky . Considering their circ.u.mstances in the Eastern Wasteland, the disciples brought over to the Central Plains would be far from outstanding . So for them to enter Pill Valley was a huge fortune, but Long Chen had actually come late, wasting his fortune .

Most unfortunate of all, this badge had his name and handprints on it . Others couldn’t even use the badge in his stead . That was why even the new Tower Master felt regret .

“But there was no way around it . I had something to do and couldn’t leave with the Tower Ancestor at that time . When I crossed the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring on my own, I was trapped by sea demons, and my flying boat was destroyed . I had to fly all the way here on my own . That’s why it took so long . But as soon as I arrived in the Central Plains, I rushed on over here . ” Long Chen shrugged helplessly .

“You flew over?”

Everyone’s expressions changed . Seeing Long Chen’s wind-worn appearance and his clothes that looked like they were about to fall apart, they immediately understood .

“You flew for three years and weren’t eaten by sea demons? I suppose you could count yourself lucky . Bring out your Pill Flame for me to see,” said Zhuo Tianxiang .

A flame rose in Long Chen’s hand . Many different fluctuations came from it .

“A… a beast flame?!”

Those experts were all speechless . The new Tower Master roared, “Are you playing with us?! This trash merged beast flame is something even my Pill Tower’s disciples would look down on!”

“But, I used this merged flame to take first place at the compet.i.tion! If you don’t believe me, you can check the Eastern Wasteland’s Pill Tower’s records,” said Long Chen, aggrieved .

He naturally couldn’t expose his Earth Flame . The Soul Devouring Violet Flame’s ranking was too high, and he had used it when fighting Gui Yan .

Furthermore, he had truly used this merged flame in the Eastern Wasteland . Even if they checked, he wouldn’t have to worry .

Zhuo Tianxiang and the others shook their heads . The Eastern Wasteland had actually declined to the extent that this trash flame had actually taken first place .

“I don’t have time to bother with this matter . You’re late, so you’ve already lost your qualifications to enter Pill Valley . If you had any outstanding areas, perhaps Protector Zhuo might be able to make an exception for you and bring you in, but you…” The new Tower Master shook his head .

“This little fellow should stay behind at your Pill Tower . Properly look after him!” After saying this, Zhuo Tianxiang turned to leave .

Hearing those last four words to properly look after him, Long Chen knew that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was definitely telling the Tower Master to make him secretly disappear .

“Senior, I experienced countless dangers to come from the Eastern Wasteland through the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring! Please, just give me a chance!” shouted Long Chen .

But Zhuo Tianxiang ignored him . He began to walk away, not wanting to waste time on Long Chen .

Long Chen cursed and clenched his teeth . How was he so unlucky that everything always went awry?

He suddenly extended his hands, and ten threads of flame shot out of his fingers, forming a flame net in the air .
