Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 99
…
It did not take long before the final top 100 alchemists were called by the officials of the contest. This was supported by the judges who dare not to use underhanded means at this time and just followed the rules.
At this time, there are a few middle-aged and old men who suddenly walk out of the audience corner as they get seated on the judge's seat.
Those that have accepted bribery and have been influenced by the clans were kicked by these people as they got seated on those seats.
Everyone now realized how the kingdom values the contest. They already knew that the kingdom will not accept any of those subpar alchemists that could not even pass the simple test is accepted.
Right now, the top 100 alchemists that have entered the semi-final round should already be considered the top alchemists in Rock Ledge City and its borders.
Some of them have even reached the 5th level in refining, and the 5th level in concocting.
The highest pill that was produced is a 5th-tier pill which Master Yo has produced and presented to the woman. Even though the first pill bottle was thrown into the fire, he has already kept a single pill just in case.
And so, after Xin Ja and Master Yo were able to enter the top 100, the Ao family now has a strong foothold in the city.
The top 100 all received a basic badge from the alchemist association of the kingdom which is already a great thing for them.
Tomorrow would be the next part of the contest the finals where the top 20 would be chosen who will represent the city in the kingdom's alchemist contest.
And so the winners went back to the families and clans they belong to.
In the Xulo clan, only Xulo Yan was able to pass and the rest of their alchemists did not. And this has caused the Grand Elder to be angry. He would want to truly strangle his son for finding such useless alchemists.
He could not help but look in the direction of Xin Ja and Master Yo. He grits his teeth and angrily stood up from his seat.
All of his plans were thrown to the drain as he did not expect that the association would intervene with this. He knows that the association would only intervene when there is an excellent alchemist that would appear, and from the looks of it, that old man Master Yo of the Ao clan is the one they are eyeing.
"Such bad luck…" he cursed as he walked out of the stadium.
Xulo Peng frowned when he saw his grandfather retreating. He could not help but scowl as he thought that the old man did not have the drive to fight. Suddenly a thought appears in his mind.
So what if they became alchemists chosen by the association. If they died and no one knows who killed them, then that medal would not be of any use, right?
His eyes then landed on the beautiful figure sitting on the Ao family seat.
"I will not stop until I get my hands on you…" he muttered while grinning wickedly.
He waves his hand and called for his servant. He then whispered something in that servant's ears and the servant showed a worried expression but did not say anything. But after listening for a while, he nodded his head and smiled.
He did not expect that his young master would be so devious. He never truly thought that his young master would have such a thought.
…
The finals of the contest is about to start and everyone is expecting something good today. Outside the stadium, the pill sellers from the association are busily selling the pills that have passed.
The ones that are getting the highest price offered are those that were concocted by the top 100 alchemists.
Many merchants showed excitement in their eyes as they greedily eyed those pills.
If those pills would be sold outside, then the price would really be sky-high. So the merchants fighting for the pills are very rowdy and are on each other's throats.
At this time, Xin Ja and Master Yo walked out of the stadium for some refreshments.
Ao Meixi and Ao Jixo followed the two with big smiles on their faces.
While the group is talking and walking outside, they were suddenly stopped by a group of people.
"Miss Ao, you truly have great foresight. It seems that the two alchemists you have taken have passed the semifinal round…" the Grand Elder of the Xulo clan said as he greeted the group.
When his eyes landed on Xin Ja, a slight killing intent appears on them which made Xin Ja frown.
He could not fight against this man because this guy is already at the Ki-Champion level. It would be like hitting his head with a rock.
He is only a Ki-Master in physique and his Ki is only that of a Ki-Fighter level, how could he fight against a superpower?
"You praise us too much, sir… Since sir knows me, may I know who this esteemed sir is?" she asked politely.
"I am Xulo Qiong… The Grand Elder of the Xulo clan, and the grandfather of Xulo Peng. I heard that my grandson likes you. Why not consider my grandson? The union of the family would also be for your benefit." Xulo Qiong said shamelessly.
The brow of Ao Meixi twitches at the shameless old man.
"Your grandson is not worthy of my niece…" suddenly Ao Jixo said as he steps forward.
"Haha… You are that famous man who killed one of our people… We have not yet asked for what you have done and here you are already barking the wrong tree…" an elder of the Xulo clan said with a sneer.
"Hahaha… If there should be a fight in here, I think my niece and I could dispose of all of you…"
Suddenly, Xin Ja talked from behind the two.
"Since that old man is limiting his cultivation and trying to break through to a higher level, he would be killed if he does that in a fight. As you can see, my young miss and our grand elder are very strong… Hehe…"
Xin Ja's words caused Ao Meixi to smile as she thought that he was a bit childish. In fact, she would sometimes notice that the way this young man thinks is a bit childish.
But his words made the rest of the people dumbfounded. How did this young man know that their Grand Elder is trying to limit his cultivation?
As they look at Xin Ja in confusion, Xin Ja showed them a slight grin on his face.
By this time, a few people have already walked into their location and then look at the Grand Elder of the Xulo clan.
Each of these people is from the great clans and families of Rock Ledge city.
They knew that if this old man would suddenly break through, then their families and clans would surely suffer.
So how could they not feel apprehensive of such an impending doom?
"Do not listen to the words of this brat!" Xulo Qiong glared at Xin Ja who is hiding behind Ao Meixi and Ao Jixo.
Before everyone could react, a figure appears between them.
"Do not worry too much… Once the Grand Elder of the Xulo clan breakthrough and becomes a Ki-Grandmaster, Rock Ledge city protection barrier would not permit him to use his full strength inside the city."
This person is the Rock Ledge city lord, Ji Da.
Although Ji Da might look like he is a coward at times, he is actually a very calculative person.
He knew that the families and clans would worry about the power that the Xulo clan would have once their Grand Elder Xulo Qiong breakthrough.
But he is not worried because of the protective barrier that the city has. This protection barrier is installed in the city by the kingdom as a precaution so that no one family would control the whole city through the use of power.
This will cause chaos and imbalance in the power in the city, and that is something that the kingdom would not want to happen.
When Xulo Qiong heard this, he was shocked and then looks at the City Lord in disbelief.
If not for the incident today, he would have truly been killed if he makes a move to the city lord to subdue him of his power.
City Lord Ji Da looks at Xin Ja with a complicated expression as he did not expect that the young man is able to tell the strength of the Xulo clan Grand Elder. This is something that he did not calculate.
But he also could not let the other families subdue the Grand Elder for fear of his breakthrough.
"Alright everyone… let this matter pass…! I assure you that the balance will not be tipped off." City Lord Ji Da assured.
The rest of the family nodded their heads and walk away as they too need to help their alchemists rest.
"Tsk… That was a good chance to get rid of those bastards…" Xin Ja thought but decide to just keep his silence.
"Hey… How did you know?" suddenly Ao Meixi asked while the group enters their prepared room for resting.
Xin Ja did not say anything and just shrugged his shoulder.
"I thought you all, also knew…" he said innocently.
