Chapter 1980 Treasures
"That kid," the one-eyed man said, gesturing in Alex\'s direction. "The one we met when we returned from the east last time. He\'s here too, and the remnant sword domain around him is quite wild as if he just came back from a battle."
The tall man with the gray beard turned to look in the direction he was pointed to and saw Alex looking in their direction, quite stunned.
He gave a simple smile and waved at him before turning back toward the one-eyed man. "We\'re here to look for alchemists, not swordsmen," the man said.
"He\'s an alchemist too," the one-eyed man said.
"A good alchemist," the tall man corrected himself.
"Isn\'t he good? Even jokingly, you considered him good enough to take him with us," the one-eyed man said.
The tall man rolled his eyes. "A Great Alchemist then," he said in an annoyed tone. "Now focus. You have to find me a great alchemist from the bunch. Look at that girl, does she appear any good?"
The one-eyed man looked down at the crowd of individuals and watched the girl who had arrived and waited for her opponent.
He could see some things.
"Her transcended origin appears to have been influenced by alchemy in some way," he said. "I can\'t tell much beyond that unless she breaks through to the next realm."
"Well, at least it is related to Alchemy," the tall man said. "Maybe she\'s the one."
"Doubtful," the one-eyed man said.
"Don\'t be so pessimistic," the tall man said. "Have some hope."
"I can\'t help it. I don\'t know how much time we have," the one-eyed man said.
"We have plenty of time. The tournament is still far in the future," the tall man said with no audible nervousness or doubt in his voice.
"I\'m not talking about the tournament," the one-eyed man said. "I\'m talking about Snowleaf. I don\'t know when he\'ll be coming since we\'ll have to leave with him."
"Ah, then there is enough time there too. It will take him a good 10 or more years to leave the tomb and then at least another 10 years still to return," the tall man said. "There is no chance any of those that entered will leave the tomb before the allocated time. They will try to stay as long as they can."
"Doing what?" the one-eyed man asked. "They should know whether they are the ones or not the moment they enter the tomb, so it is useless for them to spend any more time on it."
"Dear friend, when you first entered the tomb, did you not stay as long as you could, hoping that you were the one that could open it?"
The one-eyed man didn\'t say anything, and that prompted the old man to chuckle.
"To be honest, I want to enter too. Only, why is it so hard to find the tickets?" the tall man grumbled. "You\'ve entered 4 times already, and I haven\'t even gotten a single chance."
The one-eyed man sighed. "If I find a ticket next, I\'ll give it to you," he said.
The tall man sighed. "No, there\'s no point with me going if you won\'t be there. I\'m not strong enough to protect myself in such a place."
Even though he said so, the one-eyed man knew the greed inside of his friend and knew that he would absolutely go to the tomb even if it was just him alone.
Although, he couldn\'t blame him for that. Everyone, in all of the realms, was this way. Everyone wanted to enter the tomb and become the one to open it.
After all, the one who opened the tomb would gain all the treasures inside, and who in their right mind wouldn\'t want that? The treasures left behind by the Sage of Ten Thousand Treasures in his tomb.
The treasures that made him the Godkiller.
* * * * * * Alex could still feel his heart beating in his chest. The one-eyed man\'s stare was simply too scary for some reason, making him feel palpitations of an irregular degree.
It felt like the man could stare into his soul itself.
Alex had known something was weird about the old man back when he met him in the alchemy guild, but it was only after he left the place that he managed to figure out just what was weird about that man.
The guild master and the other tall guy were strong, that much Alex understood. He couldn\'t tell what cultivation base they were at, which meant they were very, very strong.
Considering what Alex could sense, he could tell that they were at the height of the Immortal realm, if not the Divine realm itself. Alex found the latter to be more possible.
And this old man, with absolutely no Qi in his body at all, was very friendly with the other two men. That meant he had to be strong as well, but the man had no Qi.
Alex assumed he was a body cultivator, but he didn\'t even have a good body. He was a lean, old man with barely any muscle.
Did that just mean he had an exceptionally amazing concealment technique? n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The old man scared Alex.
He took a second to calm himself and finally looked around elsewhere in the street. Just as he was looking around, the crowd erupted as a figure flew down from the side.
A tall man with green hair and furry ears landed at the center of the road. Alex looked at the man with a clear sign of beast lineage. On his chest was a leaf-shaped pendant that proudly showed just who he was.
A Supreme Immortal Alchemist.
The man turned for the crowd, waving his hands in the air, letting everyone see him.
The woman who waited for him seethed in anger. "Greetings, Alchemist Wang! I hope you are well prepared for today\'s duel," the man said loudly as he clapped his hands once.
"Alchemist Ming, I do not wish to waste any time on your theatrics. Let us get this over and done with," the woman said.
"Oh? But the people came for a show. We have to show them something," the man said. "Otherwise, what\'s the fun in that?"
"Fun?" the woman looked furious. "Do you think I\'m here for fun? Ming Longxin, you know what I am here for. Cut your crap and let\'s start. Whoever loses agrees to the other person\'s demand."
The Supreme Alchemist Ming Longxin gave an unreadable smile and simply nodded. "Very well. You seem to be in a hurry to lose, so let us begin. Whoever makes the better pill, wins."
"No cheating," the woman said.
Ming Longxin\'s face fell. "Wang Yanwei, do not overstep your boundaries. Question my integrity again and I will kill you."
There was no mistaking the truth in those words that came from the man\'s mouth.
The woman froze for a bit before taking a step back.
The man stared at her for a few seconds before turning around. "Let us get started then."
