Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 438: I Am a Grade 4 Alchemy Master!

When Fang Fan’s body was brought back, the Fang Family was completely stunned. Fang Fan was really dead!

"Damn it! Who was it? Who killed Fang Fan?"

The members of the Fang Family were completely enraged, and many of their eyes turned red. This was a challenge to their family! A slap in their face! Unforgivable! No matter who had done this, they would never let them go.

The Clan Leader of the Fang Family even issued an order, "At all costs, we must find out who the enemy is. They must be killed!"

The Fang Family quickly took action. They soon confirmed the place where Fang Fan had fallen: the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. They also found some of the young masters who were with Fang Fan at the time and questioned them, but they got nothing. All of them had lost their memories.

The Fang Family didn’t believe it and took all of them back to their estate. A Grandmaster from the family personally acted, searching their memories, but the results were the same: nothing.

With no other choice, the Fang Family questioned the Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. Tower Master Wu said that a mysterious person had killed Fang Fan, but as for who that was, he did not know. He didn’t recognize the person at all.

Naturally, this explanation failed to convince the Fang Family. Many elders said, "I feel the Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower isn’t telling the truth. Should we bring him over and read his memory too?"

But the Clan Leader of the Fang Family shook his head. "The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower holds a special status. Although they don’t have a Grandmaster in residence here, their branches are spread all over the world. Without concrete evidence, it’s better not to offend them lightly. Continue questioning the Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and investigate the scene. See if you can find any clues."

The Fang Family refused to give up and continued their search.

「On the other side.」

The Ye Family. It was extremely lively at the moment, as today was the day the Fang Family was coming to propose a marriage.

The Ye Family’s Clan Leader had been poisoned, and only an Alchemy Master from the Fang Family could provide the antidote. In exchange, the Fang Family’s young master, Fang Fan, had made a single request: to marry Ye Qingwu. The Ye Family had no choice but to agree.

Although Ye Qingwu refused and resisted in various ways, even spending a high price at an auction for a Five-Colored Glazed Elixir, it was unfortunately useless. After the Clan Leader consumed the elixir, his condition did not improve. Everyone in the Ye Family knew that only a Seven-Colored Glazed Elixir—a Grade Four Elixir—could save him. And in all of Dragon Island, only the Fang Family could refine it. For the sake of their Clan Leader, they had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

Ye Ruxue, Ye Qingwu’s second sister, walked over wearing a long purple dress. She said, "Third Sister, the Five-Colored Glazed Elixir you brought back couldn’t cure Father’s poison. We still have to rely on the Fang Family, so you should just obediently marry into their house.

"They are a top-tier family, the overlords of Dragon Island. Marrying into their family isn’t a loss for you. Hurry up and get yourself ready; their people will be here soon. When you see Young Master Fang Fan, make sure you behave yourself."

After speaking, Ye Ruxue left.

Ye Qingwu’s expression was incredibly grim. So the Five-Colored Glazed Elixir I bought with so much effort was ineffective after all? My last hope rests on Lin Xuan. I hope the Grade Four Alchemy Master he’s bringing can cure Father’s poison. But why isn’t he here yet? Could something have happened to him?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingwu grew anxious. She paced back and forth in her room, finally deciding that if Lin Xuan didn’t come today, she would escape first. She would flee the family and figure out a plan once Lin Xuan arrived.

However, just as she walked out of the room, several guards turned to stare at her. An old man stepped forward and said, "Miss Qingwu, we were ordered by the madam to protect you."

Ye Qingwu retreated back into her room, her expression turning even fouler. Protection? They’re just watching me to prevent my escape. I can’t get out at all now. Lin Xuan, please hurry! Ye Qingwu was beside herself with anxiety.

「At the same time.」

A young figure was walking toward the Ye Family’s residence. It was Lin Xuan.

He looked at the mansion before him, tidied his clothes, and strode forward. When he reached the main gate, however, he was stopped.

"Stop! Who are you?" a Ye Family guard asked coldly.

Today was the day the Fang Family was coming to propose marriage—a major event for the Ye Family—so they absolutely could not allow any mishaps. Anyone approaching the estate had to be carefully questioned.

Lin Xuan said, "I am an Alchemy Master, here to perform alchemy for the Ye Family."

Hearing this, the guards were taken aback, then became overjoyed. Is this the Alchemy Master sent by the Fang Family? They really keep their word, sending one right after the proposal!

They hurriedly invited Lin Xuan inside, though they were a little confused. Why did only a young Alchemy Master come? Where is the great master?

Another guard whispered, "This must be an Alchemy Disciple, probably sent ahead to scout. The real master will likely arrive soon."

The other guards found this reasonable and began to wait with excited hearts.

Lin Xuan entered the Ye Family’s estate. It was a grand and majestic property, filled with all kinds of pavilions and towers. He noticed that the estate was decorated with lanterns and festive colors, creating a cheerful atmosphere. He was a bit surprised. Is there some kind of celebration happening?

He stopped a servant and asked, "Where is Ye Qingwu?"

"Miss Qingwu is over there," the servant said, pointing.

Lin Xuan quickly walked in that direction. After passing through several courtyards, he arrived at one that was heavily guarded. Unable to enter, he called out, "Senior Sister Ye, are you there?"

BANG!

The courtyard door flew open, and Ye Qingwu rushed out. Seeing Lin Xuan, her eyes immediately turned red. "Junior Brother Lin, you’re finally here! I thought you weren’t coming."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

What’s wrong? Lin Xuan was startled. He walked over to wipe away her tears. "Tell me what’s going on."

The surrounding guards were dumbfounded.

"Who are you?" At that moment, Ye Ruxue walked over. Seeing the two acting so intimately, she grew furious. If the Fang Family saw this, how would they ever explain it?

She glared at Lin Xuan, a sharp killing intent flashing in her eyes. With a cold snort, she thrust a palm strike at him.

"Second Sister, stop!" Ye Qingwu quickly moved to shield Lin Xuan. "He’s the Junior Brother Lin I told you about! Junior Brother Lin is a genius in the Alchemy Realm! This time, he brought a Grade Four Alchemy Master with him. He can definitely save Father!"

What? Ye Ruxue was stunned. She had assumed her sister had just made up an excuse to refuse the marriage, but she never expected this junior brother to actually show up. She sized up Lin Xuan suspiciously for a long moment before asking, "Why are you alone? Where is the Grade Four Alchemy Master you brought?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Lin! Where is the master you brought? Please, bring him in quickly!" Ye Qingwu was also very curious. Why had Lin Xuan come alone?

Lin Xuan smiled. "The Grade Four Alchemy Master is already here."

"He is? Where?" Ye Qingwu and her sister were completely surprised and looked all around them, but besides Lin Xuan, there were no other outsiders in the courtyard.

Lin Xuan simply smiled and pointed to himself. "I am the Grade Four Alchemy Master!"
