Cultivation Pet Shop
147 Chapter 147: Who are you?
With the finals finished, it was finally time to give out the rewards.
There should have been a round for the third place finish, but unfortunately Xiahou Tian couldn't break through his heart demon at all. Whenever he tried gathering flames to refine a pill, all that would happen was that the flames would scatter before he could even bring them near his backup cauldron.
As for his original cauldron, Lin Fan had no use for it at all. He hadn't even used it in the final round, opting to continue using his Alchemy Flame cauldron.
Since that was the case, Xiahou Tian had no choice but to forfeit the round and took fourth place. This was a finish that had completely crushed him and it was obvious to everyone that he would have no further accomplishments in the future.
The Xiahou Family was enraged by this, but what could they do now?
The only thing they could do was remember Fan Lin and take their revenge in the future.
With all these positions settled, the top three were brought onto the main stage for the rewards ceremony.
There was no suspense as the third and second place rewards were given out, but once it was time for the first place reward, everyone bated their breath. They all stretched their heads out a bit in hopes of being able to catch even a single peak of the Heaven Grade Tribulation Pill.
This was a pill that was considered a treasure by all, one that could turn someone from a peak Platinum Realm Expert to a Legendary Realm Expert!
There were even some in the crowd that had already locked their eyes onto Fan Lin. They had sent people out earlier in preparation of what would come next after Fan Lin received this pill and this tournament was over.
With the crowd silent, there was a door to the back that was opened and a cart with a cloth over it was pushed out to the center of the stage.
During this time, the host had moved over to Lin Fan and was asking him all kinds of questions about how he was feeling to win this tournament. However, since most of Lin Fan's answers were one word answers, it made it quite hard for him to do his job. Still, he was professional and he wouldn't give up asking Lin Fan more questions while stalling for time.
Finally the cart arrived in the center of the stage where the trophy case was placed, but before it was revealed, the host first gave an introduction.
The host shouted into his microphone, "Before we present the final prize for our victor, I want to introduce a very special guest!"
The people in the crowd looked at each other, feeling confused.
What special guest? Why hadn't they heard of a special guest before?
The host saw this and deliberately slowed down his introduction to build up more excitement, "This special guest has come from afar, coming from the distant Alchemy King Hall of the Galactic Humanity Alliance. It is the Lord Envoy of the Alchemy King Hall, Chen Ba Wang!"
Most people in the crowd were confused when they heard this.
While it was common knowledge that there was an upper realm, most people didn't know what the name of the upper realm was. Only those families that had a certain amount of power could learn the name of this upper realm and about a few factions in the upper realm from their connections to the Union Government.
The ones that did come from noble or royal families had the expression on their faces change.
Since they were nobles and royals of Green Wood City, naturally they knew that the Alchemy King Hall was the upper realm benefactor that was behind the Alchemy Tower.
It seemed like this wasn't just a simple alchemy tournament if even an upper realm faction had sent down an envoy.
When these people looked back at Lin Fan, their eyes couldn't help filling with respect and envy since they knew that the reward Lin Fan would be receiving wouldn't just be the Heaven Grade Tribulation Pill.
The envoy Chen Ba Wang walked out with a smile as he looked at Lin Fan.
While he didn't manage to bait out the people hiding in that pet shop, he had at least found this gem on this trash lower world.
With his sharp eyes, naturally he could tell that Fan Lin also had the True Yang Alchemy Flame and while it was only a seedling right now, he was certain that the Alchemy King Hall would be able to nurture it.
At first he had thought that Fan Lin might only be able to become an elder at best, but now he predicted that Fan Lin might even be able to contend for the position of Hall Master in the future.
If he was the man who discovered the Hall Master and nurtured him into his position, what kind of payout would he receive when that time comes?
Just thinking about it made him unable to stop the wide smile that crept onto his face.
When Lin Fan saw that smile, he could tell just what the envoy was thinking, but he also smiled since he had other plans. Lin Fan couldn't wait to see what would happen once his plans were placed in motion.
The host then continued, "Now, we will ask the Lord Envoy to present the first place reward to our victor, Fan Lin!"
At this, everyone came back from their confusion as they looked back at the center of the stage where the cart and the trophy was.
The envoy lifted off the cloth and revealed a jade pill bottle underneath it before beckoning for Lin Fan to come over.
Only when Lin Fan was standing in front of him did he finally pull off the cap of the jade bottle and reveal the pill.
When the pill dropped out onto his hand, he lifted it up for Lin Fan to see. The moment Lin Fan did see it, he couldn't help being surprised.
This Tribulation Pill was actually of 100% purity!
It seemed like the depths of the Alchemy Tower really were deep!
The envoy saw the look on Lin Fan's face and he said with a smile, "I know you can see through this pill. This pill was created by the Alchemy God who founded the Alchemy Tower hundreds of years ago."
The shock on Lin Fan's face deepened.
This was a pill that was refined hundreds of years ago yet it was still perfectly preserved with all of its medicinal essence.
Even for Lin Fan with his God Tier Alchemy Technique, he still couldn't imagine what kind of skill it took to create something like this.
The envoy's smile opened wider when he saw this, this was the effect that he wanted to achieve. The envoy calmly said, "You can tell just how powerful the Alchemy God was at his peak, but you can have a chance to meet him. The Alchemy God ascended hundreds of years ago and came to our Alchemy King Hall as one of our five elders. As long as you agree to work for the Alchemy Tower, I will personally bring you up to the Alchemy King Hall once I take care of my business here."
The envoy's words woke Lin Fan from his daze as he revealed a smile.
If he was a normal alchemist of the lower realm, he might really have been tempted by this offer, but it was too bad that he was a transmigrator with a cheat system. As long as he continued developing his shop and finishing missions, he would reach that point one day. As for now, there was still the system's mission of increasing his fame as an alchemist.
Lin Fan just smiled and nodded as he took the trophy and the pill from the envoy.
The envoy was of course happy to see this since he interpreted this as Lin Fan accepting his offer, so he said, "You know what to do." Then he waved at the host.
The host tactfully came over and asked Lin Fan, "Contestant Fan Lin, are there any words you want to tell everyone here?"
Lin Fan took the microphone from the host and said, "Well just now, the Alchemy Master and the Lord Envoy have offered me generous terms to come and work for the Alchemy Tower." After this, he took a pause.
Everyone in the crowd had bated breath, even the elders of the Alchemy Tower.
Elder Hua had a worried look on her face as she looked at Lin Fan.
She had seen the way he had talked to the envoy, she was worried that Lin Fan might have really been tempted by the envoy and was about to betray them.
After all, even she would be tempted in the face of reaching the upper realm if it wasn't for her convictions holding her back.
Then after his pause, Lin Fan said, "But unfortunately I have to turn down this offer because I have something else I need to do."
The envoy and the Alchemy Master both revealed looks of disbelief as they looked at Lin Fan. They just couldn't believe what they had heard.
The envoy's expression changed several times before he shouted, "Who are you?"
The only explanation he could come up with was that someone had replaced Fan Lin during the period of time after the finals and before the ceremony.
But Lin Fan just turned to him and said, "I am Fan Lin, but you also know me by another name."
At that, he took off his mask and revealed his true appearance.
