The First Saint of Alchemy

Tang Yan took a deep breath and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, but I need to recuperate for a day."

"Okay, let's end it here today. You have a good rest. If you have anything, come to me anytime." Xiao Cangshan was relieved to see that Tang Yan was fine. He left after giving a few instructions.

Next, something incredible happened.

Generally speaking, when the elders practiced with Tang Yan, no one would watch.

But since Xiao Cangshan practiced with Tang Yan last time, this situation has gradually changed.

When the elder was preparing to practice with Tang Yan, he couldn't help but be curious when he saw Xiao Cangshan watching on the side.

However, the elder didn't ask much and concentrated on practicing with Tang Yan.

When Tang Yan showed his strength of the Heavenly Rank, the elder who was originally comfortable with Tang Yan was immediately caught off guard.

At this time, the elder finally understood why the dean, who was busy with all kinds of things, had the leisure to watch the battle. It seemed that he wanted to see himself make a fool of himself!

What's even more abominable is that Xiao Cangshan actually saw it!

On the third day, the Great Elder silently accompanied Xiao Cangshan and participated in the sparring between the Second Elder and Tang Yan.

Tang Yan was very careful and could naturally guess the intentions of the Dean and the Great Elder. He couldn't help but laugh at their behavior.

...

On the fourteenth day, when Mo Bin finished sparring with Tang Yan, Mo Bin covered his forehead with a bruise and glared at the many elders who were laughing not far away. He said speechlessly: "I was wondering why you were all watching. It turns out you wanted to see me make a fool of myself!

But the more you do this, the more it shows that you have suffered losses!"

"Anyway, you didn't see it." The Ninth Elder retorted awkwardly.

"You..." Mo Bin glared at the Ninth Elder, not knowing how to continue.

"I am just an assistant with fighting spirit, so I took advantage of him.

And the elders thought I was a junior, so they certainly didn't use their full strength.

And we didn't use powerful martial arts in our sparring. If there were no such restrictions, I would have been abused." Tang Yan tried to save face for the others.

After hearing Tang Yan's words, the elders felt much more comfortable. Damn, these days, they have suffered some losses at the hands of Tang Yan, and they have lost face.

"You are now at the Heavenly Level, and you have fulfilled my wish. If you continue to spar, the elders can use martial arts. You should consolidate your strength these days. We will set off to the Imperial City in a few days!" Xiao Cangshan said with a smile.

"The Spirit Academy Competition is held in the Imperial City?" Tang Yan asked curiously. He didn't know much about the Spirit Academy Competition.

Xiao Cangshan explained: "It will be held at the junction of several major forces in Tingxiang Country, so that it can attract the attention of major forces.

As the core of Tingxiang Country, the battle between the spirit academies must first go to the imperial city for registration, and the royal family will also send experts to supervise the fairness of this battle.

There is also good news. The time of the battle between the spirit academies has been changed to the previous time.

In this way, you still have more than two months to prepare."

This is good news for Qinglong Academy. Xiao Cangshan knows Tang Yan's talent. What this boy lacks most is time.

Tang Yan has no objection to this. Seeing that Tang Yan has no other questions, Xiao Cangshan said: "If you want to practice with the elders in the future, you can contact the elders directly."

"Yes, you can find us at any time if you want to practice." The second elder agreed readily. These days, practicing with Tang Yan is not only Tang Yan who is improving, but they, the elders, have also gained a lot of inspiration in martial arts.

Tang Yan thanked the elders and left.

When Tang Yan arrived at the dormitory courtyard, he found that Ziyun did not go out, but sat in the courtyard playing the piano.

The piano sounded lingering, with a hint of sadness.

Looking at Ziyun's thin profile, gentle, smart, and a little sad, Tang Yan's heart ached slightly.

It's time to fulfill the promise with Ziyun.

"Ziyun."

"Tang Yan."

Seeing each other, they both opened their mouths at the same time.

Tang Yan said gently: "You speak first."

Ziyun hesitated for a moment, then sighed lightly: "I'm leaving soon."

Tang Yan was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Why?"

"I received a message from the family yesterday, telling me to go back. My father will come to pick me up in person and will arrive in the next two days."

"It's good to go back. The resources of Zizhu City should be more suitable for your cultivation. By the way, the cultivation resources in Qinglongyuan should be far less than those in Zizhu City. Why did you come here?" Tang Yan asked the question that had been in his heart.

"For..." Ziyun looked at Tang Yan complicatedly, but didn't know how to start.

In the past, Zi Yun did not understand why she came to Qinglong Academy. She could have gone to the Imperial City or other schools in the three major spiritual academies.

But when she was about to leave Qinglong Academy, Zi Yun suddenly realized that the biggest reason for her to come to Qinglong Academy was to see Tang Yan.

Just wanted to see you.

It was that simple!

"Forget it, wait until your strength reaches the Heavenly Rank." Zi Yun sighed, her heart was in turmoil.

"I have reached the Heavenly Rank." Tang Yan's gentle voice sounded, which made Zi Yun stunned.

She hurriedly sent out a divine thought to detect Tang Yan's breath, and Tang Yan also let go of the cover at this moment.

Soon, Zi Yun's face was full of surprise.

This guy actually reached the Heavenly Rank in half a year?

I thought it was just a joke at the time, but this guy actually did it!

Thinking of Tang Yan a year ago, and then thinking about now, Zi Yun couldn't help but feel dazed.

From Yuanjie to Tianjie, one year.

The entire Tingxiang country has never heard of such a genius. What kind of monster is this guy?

Standing up and pacing in the courtyard for a few steps, Zi Yun struggled for a while, and finally sighed: "Since you want to know, and you have fulfilled your promise, then I will tell you.

I came to Qinglong Courtyard to see you and escape from some things."

Tang Yan asked in a daze: "Escape? With your strength of the fifth rank of the heavenly rank, what are you trying to escape from in Tingxiang?"

"This world is very big..." Zi Yun shook her head slightly.

Tang Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it from the Northern Spirit Realm?"

Zi Yun hummed and said truthfully, "Yes, it's someone from Mingyou Valley in the Northern Spirit Realm.

Three years ago, the third young master of the Northern Spirit Realm happened to come to Tingxiang and visited Zizhu City.

I didn't expect that after he left, he would come to deliver a letter and tell my father that he wanted to marry me, but he never asked me whether Zizhu City agreed.

Half a year ago, they sent someone to mention the marriage again.

Mingyou Valley is powerful, and Zizhu City is difficult to resist. After the family's top leaders discussed, they decided to agree to the marriage.

Although I am unwilling, for the safety of the family, I must accept this marriage."

Tang Yan understood that Zi Yun was a victim of the family's fate.

For the safety of the family, in order not to be destroyed by the big forces, using Zi Yun alone to protect Zizhu City, and even get more resources, is undoubtedly very cost-effective.

But is it really correct?

Just when the two were silent, a rather huge breath suddenly emerged over Qinglong Courtyard.
