Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 419: Team Up with Master Song? He’s Not Worthy!

The crowd didn’t believe Lin Xuan’s words. Even the Master of the Pill Tower was skeptical. They had never heard of anyone who could control two Anomalous Fires. In their eyes, Lin Xuan was definitely boasting.

Master Song laughed heartily, "Kid, don’t think you can talk nonsense just because you passed the test with an Anomalous Fire. How could you possibly possess two of them?"

"If you have two Anomalous Fires, I’ll take your surname!"

Lin Xuan responded coldly, "You said it. If you don’t take the surname Lin by then, you’ll be my grandson."

"Hmph!" Master Song snorted, completely ignoring Lin Xuan. He turned to the Master of the Pill Tower and said, "Tower Master, you don’t believe this kid’s words, do you?"

"If you still need another flame, it must be my Tiger Python Fire," he continued. "The other flames are far too inferior. Only I can assist you."

It seemed that was the only option. The Master of the Pill Tower nodded, preparing to let Master Song stay as an assistant.

But how could Lin Xuan agree to that? This old man had been nothing but sarcastic and condescending, and Lin Xuan had long since grown sick of him. He would never let Master Song stay.

Lin Xuan stated directly, "Tower Master, since you set the rules, you should abide by them."

"Those who didn’t pass the test cannot remain here."

"Otherwise, please forgive me, but I cannot assist."

The expressions of the surrounding people changed. Damn, this Lin Xuan was too arrogant! He was forcing the Tower Master to choose between him and Master Song!

The Tower Master’s expression faltered. "Young Master Lin, this alchemy session is extremely important to me. I hope you won’t act on impulse. Please, give me some face."

"Alright," Lin Xuan nodded. "I’ll give you some face, Tower Master."

"As long as this old man bows and apologizes to me, I’ll let him off the hook and allow him to stay as an assistant."

Previously, the other Alchemy Masters who had ridiculed Lin Xuan had all apologized, some with very sincere attitudes. Only Master Song had refused, which greatly displeased Lin Xuan.

So no matter what, Lin Xuan was determined to make him bow his head in apology.

"Alright, I agree," the Master of the Pill Tower nodded. This request wasn’t excessive.

He looked at Master Song and said, "Lao Song, you were quite sarcastic earlier, yet Young Master Lin passed the test."

"What you said was indeed out of line. Bow and apologize to Young Master Lin!"

"Apologize? To him? On what grounds?" Master Song immediately flew into a rage.

What a joke! He wouldn’t apologize even if it killed him.

He was a high and mighty fourth-tier Alchemy Master, an elder of the Song Family! Everywhere he went, he was a figure revered by thousands. How could he possibly apologize to a mere brat?

Besides, there was already a grudge between Lin Xuan and the Song Family. Lin Xuan had defeated his grandson, Song Xingyun, in the alchemy tournament. He still remembered that humiliation.

So for every possible reason, it was absolutely impossible for Master Song to bow his head and apologize to Lin Xuan.

"Lao Song, what are you holding out for? Just apologize, and you can stay," Master Luo advised.

Master Zheng also chimed in, "Yes, you were indeed in the wrong before."

Master Zhou added, "Just do it. We all apologized already, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed. We won’t laugh at you."

"Your apology is your business. I will not apologize," Master Song declared.

"This kid only passed the test because he has an Anomalous Fire. Otherwise, how could he have possibly passed on his own merit?"

"In any case, I’m not convinced, and I will not apologize to him."

Lin Xuan scoffed. "Tower Master, you see? You can’t say I’m not giving you face."

The Master of the Pill Tower’s face turned gloomy. He said, "Lao Song, I’m giving you one last chance. Will you apologize or not?"

"I will not."

"You!" The Master of the Pill Tower was so angry he trembled.

He hadn’t expected Lao Song to be so stubborn. The situation suddenly reached a deadlock.

Ultimately, the Master of the Pill Tower sighed. He still chose Lin Xuan. If he could only pick one person, he would definitely pick the one who was more useful to him, and that was the one who had passed the test.

The Tower Master said, "Since that’s the case, Lao Song, I can’t choose you."

"Are you sure you won’t choose me?" Master Song said coldly. "Are you sure you want this kid to assist you alone?"

"Aren’t you afraid the alchemy will fail?"

"If I’m not mistaken, you’re trying to refine the Yin Yang Mystical Pill, correct?"

"This elixir is extremely difficult to concoct, and the required materials are incredibly precious."

"You spent five years just collecting them."

"Aren’t you afraid of failure?"

"Do you really trust this kid that much?"

The Tower Master retorted angrily, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"You and Young Master Lin don’t get along, and you refuse to yield. Do you think putting you two together would increase the success rate?"

"I’m afraid it would only be even lower!"

"Since I can only choose one, I must choose the one who passed the test."

Master Song said coldly, "You’ll regret not choosing me."

Lin Xuan said, "Tower Master, why waste so many words on him? I have two Anomalous Fires. I’m more than capable of assisting you."

Lin Xuan paid Master Song no mind and instead brought up another matter.

"Tower Master, if I assist you successfully, can you give me one of the Yin Yang Mystical Pills?"

"You want one?" The Tower Master was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to make such a request.

Lin Xuan nodded. "This elixir is very important to me. I don’t need many, just one is enough."

Earlier, the big black dog had told Lin Xuan to find a Yin Yang Elixir to balance the yin and yang energies in his body. He hadn’t expected to find one so quickly. The Yin Yang Mystical Pill was an extremely special type of elixir. Once Lin Xuan obtained and consumed it, the yin and yang in his body would be balanced. Then, he could seek out the Dragon Dao Power and enhance his Physique.

The Master of the Pill Tower thought for a moment and said, "No problem. If the alchemy is successful, I can give you one."

"But if it fails, you get nothing."

"Don’t worry, Tower Master. With me here, it definitely won’t fail," Lin Xuan said with confidence.

"I hope so." The Tower Master didn’t sound very confident.

The other Alchemy Masters started murmuring amongst themselves. "Is he really going to let Lin Xuan assist alone?"

"I’m afraid the success rate won’t be very high."

"The kid is too full of himself. I admit he has an Anomalous Fire and his luck is heaven-defying, but how could he possibly control a second one?"

"Where does he get the confidence to say it will surely succeed?"

"Even with Master Song, success isn’t guaranteed, let alone him by himself."

"With Master Song, the success rate would be around sixty percent, but with just him, it’s forty percent at best."

Master Song sneered and stepped aside, looking on as if he were watching a play.

He’d just wait and see how this kid could possibly succeed.
