Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Prime Minister Bai frowned, his face filled with worry. He asked softly, "Why can't I take medicine other than the Five Elements Elixir to restore my spiritual energy? Isn't there another way?"

Long Yan took a deep breath, his eyes becoming firm as he spoke slowly, "Prime Minister Bai, I'm not exaggerating. Taking any elixirs other than the Five Elements Elixir to restore spiritual energy will cause an imbalance in your spiritual energy, ultimately leading to a tragic explosion and death. The risk is simply too great, and we can't take it."

Just then, the Dragon Queen slowly approached, accompanied by Lin Yaochen, Lin Ziyu, and the others. She smiled at them, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. As she approached, the Dragon Queen asked, "Dragon Emperor, Yan'er, what are you discussing? You look so serious." Her voice was soft and warm, as if it could soothe any tension or anxiety.

Long Yan stood up first, bowed respectfully, and said in a steady and respectful voice, "Mother and father." His eyes revealed his respect and love for the Dragon Queen.

Prime Minister Bai also stood up and performed the same standard etiquette, saying solemnly: "Your Highness the Dragon Queen.

Lin Ziyu followed closely behind, and together with Lin Yaochen, they bowed to the Dragon Emperor and paid their respects.

The Dragon Emperor responded with a smile, "Master Lin, please stand up. Take a seat." His eyes were gentle and kind, making people feel friendly and at ease.

Lin Yaochen stood up, walked steadily to the chair next to him, and sat down gracefully. Lin Ziyu cautiously raised his head, stole a glance at the Dragon Emperor, and then followed Lin Yaochen's footsteps to the side. He muttered to himself: Hmm, Long Yan and the Dragon Emperor are only 50% similar. The Dragon Emperor is a little more majestic than Long Yan.

When Long Yan looked at him, Lin Ziyu blinked and a playful smile appeared on his face. Long Yan turned around, his mouth slightly raised, thinking to himself that this kid was really interesting.

The Dragon Emperor whispered about their discussion, and Lin Ziyu listened with great interest. When he heard about the Five Elements Elixir, Lin Ziyu looked up at Long Yan, his eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.

"Is the Five Elements Elixir gone?" Lin Ziyu asked Long Yan with his eyes. Long Yan clearly had it on him.

Long Yan looked at Lin Ziyu's expression and smiled slightly, as if he understood his thoughts. He shook his head gently, indicating that there was indeed no more.

"You gave it to someone?" Lin Ziyu blurted out.

The others turned their heads and focused their eyes on him.

Lin Ziyu realized his own gaffe and blushed with embarrassment. He hid behind Lin Yaochen and whispered, "I didn't mean it."

Long Yan hurriedly stood up and explained, "Father, Zi Yu didn't mean to do that. I originally had six Five Elements Elixirs. I gave three to the eldest prince of the Sea Clan, Hai Lanyue, and three to the third prince of the Human Clan, Qin Jinghuai."

After hearing this, the Dragon Emperor smiled with satisfaction and said softly, "Zi Yu, do you still have any Five Elements Elixir?"

Lin Ziyu turned to look at Long Yan, who nodded slightly in affirmation. Lin Ziyu then stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, I have three more." Without hesitation, he pulled a jade bottle from his bosom and handed the pills to the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor took the jade bottle and opened it, smelling a familiar elixir fragrance.

Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Bai quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is no time to lose. I will first send the antidote and the Five Elements Elixir to the Phoenix Clan leader."

The Dragon Emperor nodded slightly and said firmly, "Okay, go now."

The Dragon Emperor took the pill from Prime Minister Bai and hurried away to deliver the medicine to the Phoenix Clan leader.

After Prime Minister Bai left, the Dragon Emperor asked, "Zi Yu, is it difficult to refine the Five Elements Elixir?"

Lin Ziyu replied, "Your Majesty, the Five Elements Spiritual Pill is a fifth-level spiritual pill. It is not difficult to refine. It only requires the five elements of the five spiritual herbs to be combined."

"Haha..." The Dragon Queen chuckled and continued, "Master, Ziyu actually said that refining the Five Elements Elixir is not difficult?"

After hearing what the Dragon Queen said, Lin Ziyu looked at Lin Yaochen with a puzzled expression and asked doubtfully, "Fifth Grandpa, is it difficult to refine the Five Elements Elixir?"

Long Yan also looked at his mother, father, and Lin Yaochen in confusion. He had seen Lin Ziyu refine the Five Elements Elixir before, but he hadn't noticed how difficult it was.

Lin Yaochen looked at Lin Ziyu, who was full of confusion, and slowly explained, "Little Ziyu, refining the Five Elements Elixir is not an easy task. Even as Fifth Grandpa, I may not be completely sure that I can successfully refine it."

Lin Ziyu was still a little confused after hearing Lin Yaochen's words. He scratched his head and said, "But it seemed quite simple the last time I refined it." Lin Ziyu had refined the Five Elements Spirit Pill twice, and the second time only resulted in three pills. He concluded that the Five Elements Spirit Herbs used the second time were not as old as the first time.

Lin Yaochen smiled and said to Ziyu, "You think it's easy because you have excellent talent and ability in alchemy. But for most alchemists, refining the Five Elements Elixir is indeed very challenging."

The Dragon Queen nodded and added, "Zi Yu, you should know that the most important thing about refining the Five Elements Elixir is that the alchemist must have five kinds of spiritual energy and the corresponding five elements of spiritual fire: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is very difficult to refine the Five Elements Elixir without the five elements of spiritual fire."

Lin Ziyu finally understood that he had underestimated the difficulty of refining the Five Elements Spiritual Pill. He only thought it was easy because he possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Fire.

"Your Majesty, the third prince of the human race is seeking an audience outside." Long An walked over and said.

"Oh?" The Dragon Emperor frowned slightly and looked at Long Yan with some confusion.

"Father, I'm going to see him." Long Yan stood up and said, "He's here to discuss the paperwork for his departure."

"Wait..." The Dragon Emperor said, then looked at Lin Yaochen and asked, "Master Lin, the human race who came to participate in the academy competition may be leaving now. Master Lin, do you want to leave with them?"

Lin Yaochen was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "I heard that the Sea Clan withdrew from the competition. Is my clan withdrawing now too?"

"Yes." The Dragon Emperor nodded and said solemnly, "It is said that foreign invaders have also appeared in the human imperial city. The human contestants must withdraw from the competition and return home."

Lin Yaochen frowned tightly, his eyes deep and focused, as if he was thinking hard about something. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Then I'll leave with them. It's a good opportunity to go back with Ziyu's father." His voice was low and firm, with a hint of determination.

When Lin Ziyu heard this, he hurried to Lin Yaochen, grabbed his hand and said, "Fifth Grandpa, I want to go back with you too." There was a firm light in his eyes, and he seemed unwilling to be separated from Lin Yaochen.

When Long Yan heard Lin Ziyu's words, his expression changed slightly. He quickly grabbed Lin Ziyu's other hand and asked unwillingly, "Do you want to go back?" His eyes revealed a sense of grievance of being abandoned.

For a moment, Lin Ziyu was stunned. His eyes moved back and forth between Long Yan and Lin Yaochen, his heart full of contradictions and entanglements. He didn't know how to choose. On one side was his beloved Fifth Grandpa, and on the other side was the person he liked, Long Yan.

Lin Yaochen looked at Lin Ziyu's embarrassment, touched his head with heartache, and said softly: "Ziyu, you stay. I need to go back to check on the situation at home and deal with some things. After a while, you can go back with Long Yan. Is that okay?" His voice was gentle and loving, trying to soothe Lin Ziyu's uneasiness.

After hearing what Lin Yaochen said, Lin Ziyu was still a little unhappy, but looking at Long Yan's expression, he nodded and agreed.

The Dragon Queen stepped forward and said, "Master, I will take good care of Ziyu, don't worry."

Long Yan, Lin Ziyu, and Lin Yaochen left the palace together and saw Qin Jinghuai, Lin Cheng and others waiting not far away.

Long Yan and the others walked over. "Third Prince, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Something delayed us for a while." Then they handed over the customs clearance documents. "Here are the customs clearance documents," they said.

Qin Jinghuai took the customs documents and replied with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness Crown Prince Long."

Lin Yaochen nodded slightly towards Qin Jinghuai and said calmly, "Your Highness the Third Prince."

Qin Jinghuai quickly returned the greeting and replied respectfully, "Master Lin."
