Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Lin Ziyu, who had originally planned to tell Fifth Grandpa that he was going to explore the Orcish Imperial City today, was stunned when he heard Fifth Grandpa's plan. He sighed inwardly, feeling a little disappointed, but obediently returned to his room to study like everyone else. He thought, it seems like I can only wait for Long Yan to arrive.

Seven days passed quickly. During this time, Lin Ziyu diligently studied and practiced alchemy, waiting for Long Yan to arrive at night. Long Yan would tell him about the arrival of someone. For example, Master Huang, another god-level alchemist of the human race, had arrived two days ago. And now, the alchemist of the sea race had arrived. Tomorrow was the day of the official competition, and Lin Ziyu was looking forward to it.

The next morning, Dean Lin Yaochen led them to the competition venue. They were neatly dressed, their expressions serious yet confident. Along the way, they all seemed incredibly excited, sharing their anticipation and nervousness.

When they arrived at the venue for the alchemist competition - the Orc Royal Garden Square.

Lan Xinning stepped forward, handed over his name card, and negotiated. As Dean Lin led them inside, a resounding voice rang out: "We welcome the God-level alchemist... Lin Yaochen... Master Lin!" The sound resonated like thunder across the square, instilling awe in everyone.

Lin Ziyu followed the group into the square. He looked around and saw many figures. The human race participating in the alchemy competition had gathered in the east and were also led there. The important figures of the three tribes were in the north, where Fifth Grandpa had already invited them. The sea race participating in the alchemy competition were in the west. As for the south, there were spectators from various tribes, with the orcs being the majority. Lin Ziyu did not see any orc alchemists participating.

The whole scene was bustling with activity, with all sorts of sounds interweaving to form a unique symphony. People were talking in low voices, anticipating the ceremony that was about to begin.

Lin Ziyu searched the crowd, hoping to find some familiar faces. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure - Long Yan.

Long Yan was standing not far away, smiling at him. Lin Ziyu was delighted and waved back.

Long Yan saw the figure approaching Lin Ziyu and frowned, "Why is Long Jiu there?"

Long Jiu smiled at Long Yan, then approached Lin Ziyu and said, "Hello, Master Lin, I am Long Jiu. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to follow you." After that, she took out Long Yan's token and handed it to Lin Ziyu.

Lin Ziyu took the token and examined it carefully. After confirming it was correct, he nodded, "Okay." He didn't pay much attention to the cute girl named Long Jiu, but just thought she was a little strange. His eyes were still on Long Yan on the field.

However, Long Jiu didn't seem satisfied with this. She suddenly moved closer to Lin Ziyu, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and excitement: "You are even more beautiful than Sister Long Yue said! It feels so comfortable to be close to you."

Lin Ziyu was slightly startled, feeling a little uncomfortable with Long Jiu's closeness, but he still smiled politely: "Thank you for the compliment." As he said this, he moved to the side. He couldn't help but start to think, who is Long Jiu? Long Yan didn't tell him that he would send someone, and she was very brave, not like Long Yan's servant.

Lin Ziyu looked at Long Yan and asked with his eyes: "Who is this?"

"He is Long Jiu, my younger brother, don't worry about him." Long Yan sent a message to Lin Ziyu.

After hearing this, Lin Ziyu looked at the person next to him in shock. He didn't look like a boy at all.

At that moment, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the arena. Everyone's gaze turned to the podium, where stood a tall, majestic, and handsome man. He was the Orc Emperor. His voice, resonant like a bell, echoed throughout the square: "Today is the five-yearly Alchemist Advancement Competition. Alchemists of all races are welcome to participate. Prizes will be awarded to the top ten at each level."

As the Orc King finished his words, the atmosphere grew even more heated. Alchemists from all races' eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation, eager to showcase their prowess and talent in this grand competition.

Lin Ziyu turned his attention to the Orc King on the platform, and his mood gradually calmed down. He secretly told himself to focus on the competition and achieve good results.

The host announced excitedly, "Next, let us welcome the god-level alchemist—Master Lin Yaochen!"

As Lin Yaochen stepped onto the platform, the human race erupted in enthusiastic cheers. People excitedly shouted his name, their faces filled with reverence and anticipation for this master.

Then, the host shouted again: "Master Huang Chengyi, the God-level alchemist!"

Huang Chengyi walked steadily towards the platform, his steps steady and confident. When he reached Lin Yaochen, he leaned slightly aside and said in a low voice, "Master Lin, don't forget our bet."

Lin Yaochen looked at him calmly and replied calmly, "No."

At the same time, equally enthusiastic cheers rang out from the audience.

"Please welcome Master Lin Qinglin, the ninth-level alchemist and the Empress of the Orcs!" The host's passionate voice sounded, and the entire venue was instantly ignited. Warm cheers and applause resounded throughout the venue like thunder.

The orcs cheered with fervor, waving their arms excitedly, their faces beaming with pride and joy. Master Lin Qinglin slowly walked onto the stage, adorned with gorgeous attire and a refined demeanor that commanded attention. He smiled and waved to the audience, his eyes gleaming with confidence and determination.

Then, the host shouted again: "Please welcome Master Haiyue, the ninth-level alchemist and priest of the sea clan!"

The sea creatures cheered, leaping and dancing excitedly, expressing their admiration for Master Haiyue. Master Haiyue gracefully ascended the stage, clad in a long blue dress that fluttered in the breeze, like a goddess of the sea. She smiled and nodded to the audience, displaying a warm and gentle side.

"Today, we are honored to invite four highly respected masters to serve as judges to witness this grand event held every five years - the Alchemist Competition!" The host announced in a loud and passionate voice, his voice echoing throughout the square, causing cheers and applause.

"First, let's move on to the competition for level one to three alchemists. All contestants who have registered for the competition, please enter!" As the host finished speaking, a group of alchemists in white robes and focused expressions walked into the center of the venue. They held alchemy furnaces in their hands, which made them particularly eye-catching.

They stood in order of the level they were going to challenge, and then someone gave them the herbs for making medicine. The herbs were distributed randomly, and it depended on their luck which herbs they got.

A brief explanation: Alchemists are ranked every five years. From Level 1 to Level 6, participants compete in competitions. Those who can refine Level 6 elixirs receive a certification recognized by all three clans. Level 7 and Level 8 alchemists must complete designated elixir challenges. Level 9 alchemists must be able to create new elixir recipes. Divine-level alchemists are those who can refine divine-level elixirs without side effects.
