I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head



Time fly by quickly, especially during cultivation. In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. In the Mountain River Diagram, Chu Yunfan slowly opened his eyes. The aura on his body had reached a state of perfection, and it was restrained. This was the state he was in when he had reached the peak of the Abstract Stage.

After swallowing the Sky Demon Pill, his strength had a huge leap. Most importantly, his comprehension of the dao had reached a whole new level. Not only did his battle prowess soar, but his cultivation level was also perfected.

This was what he had been pursuing all along. The Alchemy Emperor had lacked in the path of cultivation because his main energy was not on martial arts. Becoming an Alchemy Emperor with the alchemy path, to be precise, was considered a different path. There was a flaw in his combat strength, and he was not as invincible as martial arts experts who became emperors.

This was exactly what Chu Yunfan was trying his best to avoid.

Along with his cultivation stepping into the peak Abstract Stage, his battle prowess also soared to the peak of the Abstract Observance Stage. At this moment, his appearance did not change, but there was a terrifying blood essence surging inside his body. It was a true peak state.

"Inner disciple competition? I'm determined to win it," Chu Yunfan said indifferently. He was determined to win the inner disciple competition. No matter who was in front of him, they could not stop him in his current state.

God would kill whoever stood in his way.

What he was thinking about now was something else. How could he take another step forward and step into the Abstract Observance Stage? That was another stage. If one said that the Abstract Stage only faintly understanding some traces of nature's laws, then the Abstract Observance Stage was the true beginning of understanding. When one reached the Abstract Observance Stage, it would be even clearer. At that time, his battle prowess would even be comparable to elite disciples.

Elite disciples were different from the ordinary inner disciples. They were the true backbone of the Flying Celestials. Each of them had a combat strength far superior to the ordinary inner disciples. They were the true main force of the Flying Celestials' conquests. The reason why it was rare to see traces of these disciples in the Flying Celestials was that elite disciples at this level often had to go out and serve Grand Xia.

This was the agreement made by the various sects when they first established Grand Xia. Ordinary fringe and inner disciples could be ignored, but elite disciples had to serve Grand Xia. After all, the stability of the empire was the same as the stability of the various sects. By serving Grand Xia, one would be serving the various sects and all living beings of Grand Xia.

Basically, they either entered the court as officials or led troops to various places to fight. The civil and military were divided equally. Therefore, in the Flying Celestials, the strongest disciples were naturally the true disciples, and then the inner disciples.

This was because ordinary elite disciples had their duties. It was common for them not to return to the Flying Celestials for five or even ten years.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the courtyard outside, interrupting Chu Yunfan's thoughts. He turned around and left the Mountain River Diagram. Then, he left the courtyard and looked at the sky outside.

The sky was filled with flying lights. However, most of them were fringe and inner disciples who had come to watch from the East District. The real protagonist was a young man in a moon-white robe. He stood tall and straight with his hands behind his back, looking at Chu Yunfan from above.

When he saw Chu Yunfan come out, the young man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you Chu Yunfan?"

"That's right. Who are you?" Chu Yunfan asked.

"My name is Su Hongchang." The young man looked at Chu Yunfan.

"It's him. Why is he back? Is he here to participate in the inner disciple competition?"

"That must be the case. It's said that Su Hongchang started touring Grand Xia three years ago. Now that he's back, he must be back to win the competition."

"That's right. If that's the case, then he must be here to win. Three years ago, he was already in the top ten. There's definitely a possibility of him winning."

The crowd started to discuss animatedly. Many veteran inner and fringe disciples had heard of Su Hongchang. His strength was extraordinary. He was one of the top ten in the inner disciple competition three years ago. Such a person could be said to be very powerful. After that, he began to tour Grand Xia. And after returning three years later, his strength would definitely be even more terrifying.

Even though Su Hongchang had yet to release his aura, he was already exuding an intimidating aura that far surpassed that of an ordinary inner disciple. He was not far from becoming an elite disciple.

Many people understood that some people had great ambitions and wanted to become true disciples in the future, or even advance one step further. Therefore, the foundation at the Abstract Observance Stage was especially important, so they weren't in a hurry to directly break through to the Abstract Interpretation Stage. Instead, they had to polish and polish themselves so that their cultivation level would be flawless and their foundation would be stable.

This was clearly the case for Su Hongchang. Once he stepped into the Abstract Interpretation Stage, he would probably be able to cultivate to the peak of the Abstract Interpretation Stage in a few years. It was not impossible for him to become a true disciple in the future.

"That's right, I'm Chu Yunfan," Chu Yunfan said lightly.

"I heard that you made a bet with Hua Xianyuan to win this year's competition? "Su Hongchang asked as he glanced at Chu Yunfan.

"That's right." Chu Yunfan nodded.

Su Hongchang sneered and said, "You newcomers don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do they think the inner disciple competition is a game? Or are you relying on your so-called seed disciple status? Those who were qualified to enter the competition, which one of them was not a former seed disciple?"

"What does any of this have to do with you?" Chu Yunfan said coldly.

"That's right. This has nothing to do with me. However, what happens next has something to do with you. I heard that you obtained an Evolution Pill," Su Hongchang said indifferently, "Sell it to me for two hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

"Are you kidding? I'm sorry, I'm not selling it." Chu Yunfan laughed coldly. 

Considering the value of the Evolution Pill, it was no different from snatching it for a mere 200,000 middle-grade spirit stones. With that, Chu Yunfan turned around and left.

"You won't sell it? This matter is not up to you. Do you think that a mere newbie disciple like you can protect the Evolution Pill? I advise you to hand it over. Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences." Su Hongchang's face darkened as he stared coldly at Chu Yunfan.

"You're just an inner disciple. I don't know who's behind you, but you're just a dog." Chu Yunfan sneered.
