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

That's why this situation occurred.

"Yes, that must be it. Otherwise, how could this kid possibly be capable of that?"

Luo Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, looking at him with disdain.

"I say, Second Young Master, you should stop deceiving yourself."

"That pillar used for testing mental strength is a treasure of my Alchemist Guild."

"He basically refreshes the concentration every two seconds."

"This would never have happened if he hadn't been subjected to an overwhelming amount of mental energy attack at once. So it's because his mental energy level is too high."

“My elders in the family had told me long ago that there might be a dark horse, and it really has come true as they said.”

"Now it seems that this dark horse is indeed not easy to deal with. With my strong mental power, I think the alchemist's skills are not bad either."

"That makes me quite excited."

As he spoke, he actually stepped off the stage and walked towards Luo Xing.

"Young master, I take back all my previous disrespectful words to you. I hope to be your friend."

"I am Luo Qingqing, the saintess of the Pharmacists' Guild."

Luo Xing simply nodded in acknowledgment, exchanged a few polite words with the other party, and then left the scene.

Bai Laosan watched this scene with excitement. As expected, Luo Xing's mental strength was as astonishing as ever.

"Haha, this level is more worthy of Young Master Luo Xing."

"When the third brother goes back, he'll ask you to throw a big banquet to celebrate today."

"Let's go back, let's go back."

"Let these blind fools see for themselves how much Young Master Luo Xing is compared to you. You're a bunch of snobbish idiots."

The number of people paying attention to Luo Xing is no longer limited to these people.

Several elders in the Alchemist Guild were also watching this scene closely, and they could clearly feel the powerful spiritual energy that Luo Xing had just released.

They were absolutely certain that it wasn't because something had happened to the stone pillar; it was indeed because Luo Xing's mental strength far exceeded the power that the stone pillar could bear.

"I never expected that the dark horse that emerged this year was not a prodigy from any holy land."

"He's just an unknown nobody. And a rogue cultivator at that?"

"Haha, don't be so quick to judge. Maybe it was taught by that hermit elder."

"Don't forget, a group of experts disappeared back then. Those experts might have gone into seclusion in the mountains. This kid, I think, is probably not some rogue cultivator?"

Luo Xing's level of mental strength shocked them, mainly because Luo Xing's age was simply too exaggerated.

Luo Qingqing, whom they trained through the Master Chef Guild, was already the most outstanding chef of the younger generation, but it was clear that Luo Xin's mental strength was far superior to Luo Qingqing's.

After returning to the Alchemist Guild, Luo Qingqing felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing the elders constantly praising Luo Xing.

"Hmph, you old men."

"Maybe that guy just has stronger mental power."

"Perhaps his alchemy skills are not as good as mine. Don't forget, mental strength level is only a measure of an alchemist's ability."

"But what specific single-drug formula can be developed depends on the specific circumstances."

"Don't speak so soon. I, Luo Qingqing, am not one to give up so easily."

"Who knows, I might even bring glory to you old men at the Alchemist Conference."

A group of senior members nodded in agreement, laughing at the young girl for being so arrogant and ignorant.

This group of people naturally knew the level of Luo Qingqing, whom they had trained.

Although this little girl's skills are not bad, there is still a considerable gap between her and those real alchemy masters.

Meanwhile, it wasn't just the alchemist who was eyeing Luo Xing; many other eyes were also fixed on him with hostile gazes.

Among them was the elder in black robes.

"So, Old Black, now you should get what you want, right?"

"This kid's mental strength is far more terrifying than you or I thought."

"If this kid is really that strong, then we absolutely cannot let him live to actually participate in the competition."

"Don't forget, our mission is to clear all obstacles for the Second Young Master."

"Any threat that could affect our second young master's chances of winning this competition must be eliminated."

"Hahaha, Lao Bai, do you even need to tell me that?"

"Do you think I've been a black-robed elder for so many years for nothing? I know better than you what I should and shouldn't do."

"Get ready, we'll do it tonight."

"We absolutely cannot let this kid live to see the next morning."

"We must make sure this kid disappears from this world without a sound."

"Otherwise, the Second Young Master would be a great threat."

These two were the assassins hired by Young Master Yao Bu.

One in black and one in white, both were top assassins.

They claim to be able to kill without leaving a trace.

It was precisely because of this level of skill that she was able to win the favor of the second young master.

Luo Xing and Lao Bai and their group happily returned to the inn.

At the moment of his death, Luo Xing was truly famous throughout the city, and many young women on the street looked at him with different eyes.

Even the hotel owner watched the game.

When he saw Luo Xing return, he immediately ran up to him excitedly.

"Young master, please come upstairs immediately."

"We have prepared the most sumptuous food for you."

"Please, please go ahead with the speedboat. You're a local celebrity now, so I'll cover all your expenses."

This sudden turn of events left Luo Xing somewhat unaccustomed to it.

However, he did not refuse and immediately followed Bai Laosan and Bai Xue upstairs.

They had previously ordered a meal from the owner, but it was nothing like the meal in front of them.

What lies before us is the Holy City, with its rare delicacies from land and sea, and even some dishes made from monsters.

Such a feast would cost an astronomical price outside, but they're giving it to Luo Xing for free.

As Luo Xing predicted, the owner of this restaurant would most likely invite him to stay after his match. They probably put up some advertisements at the entrance; otherwise, why would they be so kind as to provide so much food?

But it didn't matter then, and Luo Xing just ate with relish.

"Hahaha, Young Master Luo Xing, I, Bai Laosan, would like to offer you a toast. I have seen countless formidable figures in my life."

"But a young master like you not only has high cultivation, but also such high alchemy skills, which is truly admirable."

"Come, come, I must toast you today, please do me the honor."

Not polite either.

Luo Xingshi picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

To be honest, he didn't really enjoy the competition; he hadn't even given it his all.

Although his mental strength level is only up to level nine, if you really measure it, his mental strength level is definitely not nine.

Luo Xing now has a very reasonable suspicion that there is a considerable number of people among the contestants present.

He failed because he held back his strength and didn't use all his power; instead, he was the only one foolishly trying his best.

But it doesn't really matter, as long as it won't affect the upcoming matches. His only goal now is to win first place in this competition.

But before he could eat more than a few bites of the food, Luo Xing suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"No, someone is watching us."

"Everyone be careful, there must be some assassin lying in ambush nearby."

Just as the words fell, before anyone could react, two assassins burst in with a bang. The black-robed elder and the white-robed elder stood before them.

"Hahaha, could it be that Young Master Luo Xing's mental power is indeed strong? If he didn't have such strong mental power, he probably wouldn't have been able to find us, right?"

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. It's been a long time since I've seen such a young alchemist. If you were to grow for a few more decades, the continent would probably have another top-tier alchemist."

"However, you probably won't live to see that day. Today, your life will be taken by the two of us brothers."

"Don't blame others, blame yourself for being too sharp. Who told you to pull out all the stops when you were looking down on someone?"

Luo Xing listened to them briefly and almost understood what they meant. It turned out that these two people had been sent by someone.

"Can you tell me who sent you? I don't want to die with my eyes open."

"Why would a dying person ask so many questions? Just stop thinking about it and quietly wait to die."
