Legend of Reborn Alchemist

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a dignified cultivator like Patriarch Seven would have been killed by a student!

What was even more unexpected was that an academy had actually succeeded in obtaining the Azure Flame!

A student was at most at the peak of the Pulse Rotation Stage, but those who were able to reach this level in the Eastern Region Academy were all top experts. Although the distance between them was a little far, he was almost certain that student was not one of those top experts.

"This is too terrifying!"

He could not believe his own eyes. A cultivator had been killed by a student just like that, and in the end, he had even been burnt to ashes!

However, in his opinion, the scariest person was still the student. He guessed that this person was the one who instigated the other students to flee. It seemed that this person's intention was quite clear; he wanted to scare everyone away before attracting Shui Yang's gaze.

However, although he felt that this person was terrifying, he felt slightly pleased when he thought of Shui Ani's cruel and merciless methods.

He carefully made his way to the cold pond. Looking at the pile of ashes, he could not help but shiver. Then, he turned around and ran away.

In the deep valley.

Lin Cheng sat on a large tree. His hands were bent at the tips of his ten fingers and elemental energy was surging from his body.

As he clenched his fingers, a small ball of blue and green flames was pulsing. Lin Cheng was staring at the ball of fire without blinking. His face showed caution and he did not dare to show even the slightest bit of carelessness.

He was refining this blue flame.

Even though the cluster of flame in his hand was only one-third the size of the entire cluster of blue flames, Lin Cheng was still extremely cautious. Facing this kind of unrefined fire, he could not be more cautious.

What's more, Lin City was extremely familiar with the power of the azure flames. If even the void was distorted by the flames, one could imagine just how terrifying the azure flames were.

Moreover, this small ball of flame was already the limit of what Lin City could currently control. He had already activated all of the Yuan Power in his body in order to barely refine it. If it was a little bigger, he wouldn't even be able to control it, let alone refine it.

At this moment, the two chakras in his body were spinning like crazy. A massive amount of origin energy was being sucked into his body and converted into soul force, adding to the azure fire.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Cheng was completely immersed in the process of refining the pill.

However, right now, the Forbidden Land of Boundless was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Looking at the pale-faced students kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear, the few elders of the East Continent Academy could not help but turn ashen.

"So you're saying, instead of obtaining the azure fire, you're only concerned with fleeing and only see Seventh Elder left behind?" The Great Clan Elder's face was gloomy as he asked coldly.

The students' heads were lowered and their bodies were trembling slightly.

One of the students gathered up his courage and said tremblingly, "Big, Grand Elder. Seventh Elder is very strong, and the floating bridge in the cold pond has already been formed. If she takes it out herself, she can definitely succeed in one fell swoop …"

Before he could finish, the Grand Elder's face turned ashen, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. He no longer dared to say anything, and quickly lowered his head.

"Humph!"

The Great Elder snorted coldly. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Does that mean the academy has to thank you for creating the opportunity for Seventh Elder?"

The student immediately turned pale with fright, "This disciple doesn't dare." "Please forgive us, Great Elder. We are not strong enough to cross the cold pond and obtain the Azure Blue Flames. However, under the orders of the Seventh Elder, so many of our martial brothers and sisters have already died.

"Grand Elder, I don't think these students can be blamed."

At this moment, an elder stood beside the Great Elder and whispered, "It's useless to punish these students. If word spreads out, it will damage the reputation of our Eastern Region Academy." "Besides, it's a good thing that Patriarch Seven is still in the forbidden area. According to these students, a floating bridge has been built in the cold pond. With Patriarch Seven's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to collect the azure fire."

"Yes, Grand Elder."

Another elder also agreed, "Although the suppression on cultivators is very strong in this forbidden area, after all, cultivators are still cultivators. Whether it is the battle consciousness or experience, those are not something that ordinary warriors can compare with.

"In addition, there is another issue that deserves attention." "First Elder, don't forget to ask Seventh Elder to go down to the forbidden area. This is what Senior Brother Cheng meant. If we punish these students that have returned, it might make him unhappy …"

Hearing this, the Great Elder's expression eased up slightly. He looked towards Cheng Qin Luo, who was resting with his eyes closed, and finally nodded his head.

Indeed, allowing the anise to descend into the forbidden area was Cheng Qin Luo's intention.

Cheng Shuang also hated Shui Yang. If they punished these students who had escaped, didn't that mean that they didn't want Shui Yang to be in trouble, and were very angry that these students hadn't helped Shui Yang?

In this way, it would be equivalent to going against Cheng and himself.

Thinking of this, the Great Elder finally eased his tone and said, "All of you, stand up. Go to the side and wait!"

The students acted as if they had been granted amnesty and quickly thanked him respectfully before retreating to the side.

After glaring viciously at these students, the First Elder turned around and walked toward Cheng Qin Luo, who was resting with his eyes closed. The moment he turned around, the First Elder's originally tense face was instantly filled with smiles.

At this moment, Cheng Qin Luo was sitting on a rattan woven chair. Behind him, a handsome young man was massaging his shoulders.

Looking at this scene, the corner of the Great Elder's eyes twitched. As a cultivator, he naturally wouldn't easily tire himself out. That handsome youth was clearly asking for a favor, causing the Great Elder to feel a little awkward.

Even though he felt very uncomfortable inside, the smile on the Great Elder's face became even more brilliant. He came forward and said, "Junior Brother Cheng, according to the student's report, Seventh Elder should be gathering the azure fire by now. Junior Brother Cheng, please wait patiently. I believe it won't be long before Seventh Elder returns with the azure fire."

Cheng Qin Luo opened his eyes and snorted: "Did those students really escape on their own?"

The Great Elder nodded slightly. "According to them, it is."

"Could it be that that woman wanted to take the azure fire for herself, which was why she forced those students to come back and mislead us?" Cheng Qin Luo snorted.

"Junior Brother Cheng, you must be joking. Seventh Elder would not do that."

The Great Elder quickly said, "Even if she really had that intention, but in the Boundless forbidden area, her strength has been greatly suppressed. It's already not bad that she has the cultivation of the 7th or 8th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, and this cultivation is not something she can walk freely in the Boundless forbidden area. And this area with a thousand miles radius is the territory of the Myriad Sword Sect.

"It's best if it's like this!"

"It would be best if she could bring the Blue Flames with her. Otherwise, she must have some ulterior motive," Cheng Shuang said with an unfriendly tone.

The Great Elder immediately said, "Junior Brother Cheng, don't worry. Unless Seventh Elder is able to obtain the azure fire, she will definitely come back with good news."

"Could that woman have colluded with others to try to take the Azure Flame?" At this moment, the handsome youth suddenly said.

"Don't worry!"

Before the Great Elder said anything, Cheng Qin Luo waved his hand and said, "Although this place is Boundless Forest, it's close to my Myriad Sword Sect and no one dares to come here to seek death!"

The Great Elder immediately smiled. "Junior Cheng is absolutely right. If there really is an intruder, those students will definitely find out. It's impossible for them to not report it …"

"Elder!" "Elder!"

Before the Great Elder could finish speaking, a series of urgent shouts could be heard. Following which, two people quickly ran over, one of them dressed as a teacher, the other dressed as a student. Both of their faces were filled with anxiety and panic.

"What are you acting so flustered for!"

The First Elder immediately scolded when he saw this.

The two people's expressions became cold and no longer dared to shout. When they ran up to them, they immediately lowered their heads and bowed.

"Grand Elder, this student just came up from the forbidden area. He has an urgent report to make." The teacher hurriedly explained.

"Oh?"

The Great Elder could not help but frown when he heard this. He immediately became displeased. He looked towards the student and asked, "Is there anything you need to report?"

He had just reprimanded the students who had escaped. The moment his words left his mouth, yet another student had fled back. In front of Cheng Shuang, he could not help but feel embarrassed.

When the student heard his unkind tone, he immediately replied respectfully, "Reporting to Great Elder, this disciple's strength is too low. I was pushed down by someone on my way back …"

The Great Elder's face darkened and shouted, "Get to the point!"

It was one thing for the students to be cowardly and run away like mice, but to think that they did not even have the ability to run for their lives.

"Yes, yes …"

The student was startled and panicked. He blurted out, "A senior brother took the Azure Flame, killed Seventh Elder, and then ran away …"

"…" Whether it was the Great Elder and the others, or Cheng Qin Luo and his male pets, none of them could react to these words for a moment.

However, in the next moment, their expressions simultaneously changed.

The Great Elder nearly jumped up, "What did you say?!"
