A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

However, after searching through yet another package, Luo Xing couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Two storage rings were found inside this pile of black coal, but there really wasn't anything good inside. The most valuable thing was some pills, but most of these pills were only grade five or six.

The pills they possessed would be considered high-quality elsewhere, but to Luo Xing, they were no different from a pile of junk.

After all, Luo Xing was a seventh-grade alchemist, so refining seventh-grade pills wouldn't be difficult for him. Therefore, looking at these low-quality pills was no different from looking at a pile of garbage.

"I say, Old Master Bai, if you want these pills to be useful, then it wouldn't be better to just give them all to you."

"I'm not saying anything, but why are you all so poor? These two heads of the household don't have a single thing of value on them. At most, they have some top-grade pills."

"Now I'm really starting to doubt the level of your family. Are you just some small, insignificant family?"

Old Man Bai casually accepted the two rings that Luo Xing tossed to him.

For a moment, Old Man Bai couldn't help but get excited. He didn't believe that his eldest and second brothers didn't have anything good in their hands. After all, in their Bai family, everything his eldest and second brothers possessed was of high quality.

Their family has some cultivation techniques and precious pills. Even though he cultivates them every year, most of the pills are taken by his eldest and second eldest brothers. He would never believe it if you told him that they don't have any good stuff.

After examining the two storage rings, he couldn't help but be shocked. They said there was nothing good in them.

Among them are three grade six pills.

These sixth-grade pills are considered supreme in the Bai family. Only the eldest brother, the second brother, and a few elders of the clan are qualified to use them when major events occur.

As for Elder Bai, he was ultimately just a fifth-grade alchemist. It was impossible for him to refine a sixth-grade pill, let alone reach that level. Therefore, he looked at this sixth-grade pill as if it were his most precious treasure.

"Hahaha, it's a sixth-grade pill, it's a sixth-grade pill."

"I've struck it rich! This time I've really struck it rich! I never thought that in my lifetime I would be able to hold three pills in my hands."

"Big brother, second brother, you've really opened my eyes! You've been plundering your own family's treasures for so many years, and you're still trying to harm me. People like you deserve to die."

"When I get back, I will definitely expose your crimes to the elders in my family and let them see your ugly face."

Bai Laosan seemed to want to vent his frustrations over the years, feeling constantly suppressed by his two older brothers, as if he were being held firmly to the ground.

Granddaughter Bai Xue also ran over. Having lived in their family for so long, she had never seen so many treasures at once. This was all thanks to Luo Xing; if it weren't for him, their Wenmen sect might not have obtained these treasures. Right now, Ba Zhengfa would have been taken back to the family and executed by the two elders.

"Young master, I, Bai Laosan, thank you very much. If you ever need anything in the future, please be sure to let me know."

"If there's anything I can do to help, I, Bai Laosan, will do it even at the cost of my life."

Luo Xing listened to their failed attempt at explanation, lost interest, cracked his knuckles, and then left.

Luo Xing has killed countless people over the years, so saving two people now can be considered a minor act of killing.

Just then, the system notification sounded.

"Congratulations, host, you have found a new binding target."

"The bound object is Snow White."

"The return multiplier is 300 times."

Luo Xing, who was walking, suddenly paused.

He hadn't heard the system's notification sound for a long time, so how come he could suddenly be bound again?

Although Princess Lily's binding multiplier is 500.

However, the conditions for returning Princess Lily were harsh, and it would take a very long time before she could be returned.

Unexpectedly, Snow White was also able to make a return.

Although the return multiplier is lower than that of Princess Lily, her return conditions are very easy, and she can basically give gifts every week.

In other words, Luo Xing was able to receive feedback from Snow White every week.

If that's the case, we'll have to reconsider Princess Lily.

Having Snow White by your side wouldn't be bad.

Although Snow White was not as beautiful as Princess Lily, she did not possess the same air of superiority.

However, Bai Xue has a very comfortable and approachable charm, which is like having a younger sister by your side.

If that's the case, then I might consider taking Snow White with me next time I go out.

Of course, Luo Xing had absolutely no feelings for Miss Bai Xue. He didn't even have the slightest improper thoughts about her.

I only want to treat it as my younger sister.

With that thought in mind, Luo Xing immediately returned to the Holy City. After all, now was not the time to think about such things. The most important thing now was to settle the matter of the Alchemy Conference first.

Little did he know, Luo Xing was already being watched.

It was in the canopy of a hidden tree.

A man in black stared intently at Luo Xing, seemingly quite intrigued by him.

At this moment, an elder in white robes appeared behind him, also gazing at Luo Xing from afar. He seemed extremely interested in dealing with this guy.

"Old Hei, are you saying this kid is the alchemist who triggered heavenly lightning back then? The one who could refine seventh-grade pills?"

"That's right, it's this kid. My tracking technique has never had any mishaps."

“But they’re too young. We’re both over 100 years old.”

"Even so, we are still the top geniuses in the alchemy family, but this kid is only in his early twenties. If he's not a prodigy, I really don't believe it."

"Do you think this kid might be the reincarnation of some old monster?"

"Oh, that's a very bold idea of ​​yours."

"However, it's not impossible. Becoming a seventh-grade alchemist at the age of 20 is an achievement that no one would believe, no matter where you are. But your idea is quite credible."

"If that's the case, then it's even less likely that this kid will live."

"We should at least try to kill him. But right now, it's a bit too early to act."

"After that mental test is over."

"Let's see what level this kid is at. If he's really better than the two of us, then it won't be too late to make a move."

In a short time, both sides reached an agreement and began to think about how to take action.

Luo Xing returned to the hotel in the Holy City first, and Bai Laosan and Bai Xue immediately followed. They wanted to remind Luo Xing to get plenty of rest, because tomorrow was the mental strength test.

This is also the first test of the Alchemist Conference held in the Holy City.

Only by successfully completing this test can one participate in the rest.

This is essentially a preliminary selection process. If you can't even pass this first hurdle, it means your mental strength is simply not up to par, and you won't be able to participate in the subsequent exams. The importance of mental strength to an alchemist is immeasurable. If your mental strength is inadequate, you simply won't be able to trigger any connection between heaven and earth during the exams, let alone...

If one concentrates on controlling the flame pill, it will naturally be impossible to refine it. This is the first test set up in the Alchemist Conference to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

After understanding, Luo Xing immediately returned to the tavern to rest. He didn't use any other methods to cultivate; he just wanted to do it as quickly as possible.

Alright. Only when his mental strength is restored to its peak can he face this exam in the best possible condition.

Luo Xing's current thought is to give it his all and achieve the best results, ideally winning the overall championship. Only by placing in the top three can one stand at the very top of this holy city and be noticed by everyone.

Only in that way can he be seen by all sorts of people, including his biological parents.

So many years have passed, and apart from his grandfather, he hasn't seen almost anyone else in his family. As for his uncles and other relatives, they were like ingrates, only thinking of harming him and showing him absolutely no affection. So they can't really be considered his family.

The conference continued until the second day.

Grandpa Bai led Luo Xing to the examination venue.

The examination area stretched as far as the eye could see; it was the largest central square in the Holy City, and the square was packed with people, a veritable sea of ​​faces. The noise was deafening, as many of the Holy City's residents and former cultivators came to witness this test of mental strength.

Basically, every year these alchemy masters are able to refine different pills, and one year someone even refined a seventh-grade life-threatening pill, which was at the peak of the seventh grade.

If we were to call this a medicinal pill, that would be acceptable. However, it's more accurately described as a poison.

No matter how strong a master is, even a great power respected by the Venerable One, as long as they consume a seventh-grade pill, they will definitely die instantly.

It's also called a pill because it can also fight poison with poison, as long as the poison is of lower quality. Taking one of these would immediately solve my problem.

Such a pill would be extremely valuable if placed outside, and more importantly, the recipe for this pill had long been lost, which is why last year's alchemist conference was even more exciting.

In the very center of the square stood an old man in a gray robe; he was the referee for this competition.

"Fellow alchemists, it is a great honor to welcome you here for the first competition."

"What you need to do next is very simple. Just put your mental energy into each of those pillars. That will test your alchemist mental energy."

"The spiritual power of alchemists is divided into levels, and those who can reach the sixth level of alchemist are considered qualified."

"Similarly, if you cannot reach the sixth-grade spiritual power level of an alchemist, then you will be considered unqualified and will not be able to continue to participate in the subsequent exams."
