Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Lin Ziyu carefully placed the refined pill on a jade plate and handed it to the deacon in charge of collecting the pills. After doing this, he turned around and returned to his seat, quietly waiting for the final result.

Now, he finally had a moment of leisure to observe his surroundings. He scanned the room, noting that many of the contestants were still immersed in the intense atmosphere of alchemy. Some had serious expressions, staring intently at the alchemy furnaces before them; others looked anxious, seemingly dissatisfied with their own results.

Everyone was showcasing their talents and abilities, striving for greater honor and achievement. He, too, was eager to excel in the competition. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a young man at the next table. Like him, he had already finished refining the medicine and was awaiting the results. The young man looked young, his face calm, as if filled with confidence in the competition. Lin Ziyu's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity about the young man. He wondered who this person might be, and wondered if Lin Zilu was a student at the School of Pharmacy.

His gaze turned toward the outside of the arena, his eyes becoming sharper, as if he were trying to find that familiar figure through the crowd. Finally, his gaze settled in one direction, and the corners of his mouth slowly lifted, revealing a broad smile. He spotted Long Yan in the crowd, and his heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

Time passed slowly, and now all the students had handed in the pills they had refined and were waiting for the judges to give their results.

After some discussion, the judges sitting on the stage finally decided the ranking and handed it over to the presiding teacher.

The presiding instructor took the list and said happily, "The exciting moment has arrived. Now, I will announce the results of this competition."

The remaining contestants were waiting nervously.

"The first place is number 32, Lu Mingran."

"The second place is number 34, Lin Ziyu."

"The third place is number ten, Bai Yueyue."

"The fourth place is number 24, Song Yiran."

"The fifth place is number fourteen, Lan Jiuer."

"The sixth place is number 22, Zhao Jiahe."

"The seventh one is number 18, Zhou Yichen."

"The eighth place is number six, Chu Lulu."

"Ninth place is number 29, He Haohao."

"The tenth place is number 41, Liu Yang."

.........

The 27th is number 43, Chen Yufeng."

"The 28th is number 49, Feng Qingqing."

After the presiding teacher finished reading the names, he looked at the person sitting in the middle of the stage. Seeing him nod, he said, "Please welcome Master Lin, the dean of the School of Pharmacy, to speak."

Master Lin stood up and smiled at the students in the audience. He said, "I am Lin Yaochen, the head pharmacist of the School of Pharmacy. We alchemists not only need to have a natural talent for refining medicine, but more importantly, we must study diligently. Only by understanding the characteristics of each medicinal ingredient can we use them effectively."

"Today, I am delighted to see so many outstanding young alchemists. You are the future of the academy and the hope of the alchemy world. I hope you can remember that alchemy is a profound science that requires constant exploration and research."

Lin Yaochen paused, then continued, "The top three in this competition will receive focused training and rewards from the academy. At the same time, I encourage the other students not to be discouraged and to continue working hard. I believe you will achieve even better results in the future."

After saying this, Lin Yaochen bowed slightly, signaling the end of his speech. Warm applause erupted from the audience, with the students expressing their deep appreciation for the lecture.

Lin Ziyu looked at Lin Yaochen on the stage with admiration in his heart. He secretly made up his mind to become a top alchemist like Lin Yaochen.

With the host's announcement, this spectacular competition finally came to a close. The students began to leave the venue one after another, each with a satisfied and joyful smile. Lin Ziyu, on the other hand, couldn't wait to find Long Yan, wanting to share the joy of victory with him.

Finally, Lin Ziyu spotted Long Yan in the crowd and immediately ran over, his face filled with excitement. When he arrived in front of Long Yan, their eyes met, and they could feel each other's excitement.

"Zi Yu, you are really awesome! Second place!" Long Yan praised with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

"Hehe, I'm awesome, right?" Lin Ziyu laughed proudly, his voice full of confidence and satisfaction.

Looking at Lin Ziyu like this, Long Yan felt a strange emotion in his heart. Before he could sort out this emotion, he heard Lin Zilu's shout.

"Brother...Brother..." Lin Zilu ran over, panting a little, his voice filled with tension and urgency. "Brother, Fifth Grandpa said that we should go find him when we have time."

Lin Ziyu patted Lin Zilu's back gently and said softly, "Why are you running so fast? Talk slowly, don't be anxious." His voice was full of concern and care, which made people feel warm. However, Long Yan looked at the situation in front of him and was very angry about their appearance.

Long Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stepped forward without hesitation to pull Lin Ziyu away. "He knows," he said simply, a hint of displeasure in his tone. Then, he held Lin Ziyu's hand tightly and left.

Lin Zilu was left standing there, bewildered and at a loss. He didn't understand what had happened and why Long Yan had pulled Lin Ziyu away in such a hurry. He watched the two of them leave, his heart filled with doubts and confusion.

Li Yuchen, who had caught up with them, couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene. He quickly walked over to Lin Zilu and asked anxiously, "What happened? How did they leave?" Lin Zilu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the answer either.

The whole scene was filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere, as if hiding an important secret. Lin Zilu and Li Yuchen were both confused and worried, not knowing what was going on. Lin Ziyu and Long Yan's hasty departure left them with only questions.

"Let's not worry about it for now, let's just follow and see what happens." Li Yuchen said as he pulled Lin Zilu in the direction Long Yan and Lin Ziyu left, but they didn't catch up with them.

Long Yan pulled Lin Ziyu into a special space. Lin Ziyu asked, "Long Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Long Yan slowly sat down and said expressionlessly, "Let me think about it." Ever since he kissed Lin Ziyu, he didn't like Lin Ziyu having too much contact with people other than him. Seeing Lin Ziyu interacting too much with others, he didn't know how to control his emotions.

Lin Ziyu blinked his bright eyes and sat silently beside Long Yan, taking in the surroundings. His eyes were full of curiosity and vigilance, as if he wanted to see through everything around him.
