, wonderful and free of pop-ups! As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Duan Lingtian didn't even have time to refuse. A group of Lu family elders had already started talking, leaving Duan Lingtian no chance to refuse.
At the same time, the head of the Lu family, Lu Rui, and the other two guardian elders of the Lu family also looked at him expectantly.
How could he refuse?
Of course, if he is really determined to refuse, he can still refuse.
But when he thought that he would take advantage of the Lu family in the future, he gave up the idea of refusing.
"Then I'll join in the fun."
Then, Duan Lingtian nodded and agreed.
For him, being the 'chief referee' of this alchemist competition held by the Lu family is not stressful, and he can also observe the 'methods' of a group of alchemists up close.
Although he himself has never seriously studied the 'alchemy refining method', the memory of medicine refining left by Emperor Samsara is enough for him to run rampant in Yunxiao Continent.
You know, the Samsara Martial Emperor back then was an 'Imperial Alchemist' who was superior to a first-level alchemist!
As a person who has integrated the memory of an imperial alchemist, it is not difficult for Duan Lingtian to comment on the alchemy level of a group of fifth and sixth grade alchemists.
Duan Lingtian wanted to refuse at first, because he was afraid of trouble.
However, now he has no choice but to go ahead even if he is afraid of trouble.
As the saying goes, 'Be soft-spoken and short-handed'. Although he has not benefited from the Lu family yet, he will inevitably do so in the future.
Because that was his main 'purpose' for joining the Lu family!
"stop!"
Suddenly, a sharp shout came into Duan Lingtian's ears, and Duan Lingtian was so shocked that he couldn't help but look at the person who made the sharp shout.
"Lu Bai?"
Soon, Duan Lingtian discovered that the person who shouted was none other than the second young master of the Lu family, Lu Bai. Lu Bai was the one who shouted loudly at the three middle-aged men who were sneaking about to leave.
When Duan Lingtian followed Lu Bai's gaze and saw these three people, he recognized them at a glance.
These three people were none other than the three middle-aged men who insulted Feng Tianwu who was lying in the ice coffin outside the Lu family. They were shocked by him at that time.
Later, these three people wanted revenge. Among them, the middle-aged man in green teamed up with Lu Zhao, the elder of the Lu family, and the referee of the alchemist competition held by the Lu family this time, and wanted to expel him.
Unfortunately, they didn't succeed.
In fact, even Lu Zhao died in his hands in the end.
After that, Duan Lingtian ignored these three people. Of course, he was too busy dealing with the third young master of the Lu family, Lu Huai, so he had no time to pay attention to them.
Now, everything is over, and he has become the "elder guest" of the Lu family as he wished.
The three middle-aged men obviously wanted to leave after seeing him gain power.
But, is there such a good thing in the world?
Duan Lingtian looked at the three middle-aged men, his eyes flashing coldly, and his face darkened.
As Lu Bai shouted sharply, when the eyes of everyone present, including Duan Lingtian, fell on the three of them, their bodies froze, as if they had turned into sculptures.
"Lord Duan Lingtian, spare your life!"
Soon, one of them turned around, knelt down on the ground with a bang, and kowtowed to Duan Lingtian, begging for mercy.
"Lord Duan Lingtian, spare your life! None of this has anything to do with me."
The other person also knelt down and kowtowed.
Now, only the middle-aged man in green turned around and stood there, staring hatefully at Duan Lingtian, the person who killed his cousin.
"Hmph! Elder Duan, how can your dog eyes be enough to stare at him?"
In an instant, a sharp shout sounded.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Lingtian felt a gust of wind blowing by him. It was obvious that someone was passing by him. The speed was so fast that he could not react.
boom!
When he reacted, he heard a loud noise immediately.
Immediately afterwards, he discovered that where the middle-aged man in green had been standing, there was a figure that looked like a bamboo pole. It was 'Lu Gui', one of the three guardian elders of the Lu family.
In the air not far in front of Lu Gui, the blood mist dispersed, and the middle-aged man in green disappeared without a trace.
Duan Lingtian understood.
The middle-aged man in green clothes is now dead. He was killed by Lu Gui's power. The blood mist that filled the sky was what was left after his body exploded.
Lu Gui, the protector elder of the Lu family, a powerful Martial Emperor.
He took action to kill the middle-aged man in green clothes without any effort. Even before the power of heaven and earth could appear, the middle-aged man in green clothes was gone and completely disappeared from this world.
"Lord Duan Lingtian, spare your life! Lord Duan Lingtian, spare your life!"
"Elder Gui, spare your life! Elder Gui, spare your life!"
When the remaining two middle-aged men saw that their companions were gone, their expressions changed drastically, and they kowtowed and begged for mercy with frightened eyes.
After a while, they were bleeding from head to toe.
"Elder Duan, how should they deal with it?"
Lu Gui turned around and looked at Duan Lingtian, with a smile on his face.
However, with his cheeks as skinny as bones, his smile was uglier than crying.
"casual."
Duan Lingtian shrugged and said indifferently.
At the same time, he withdrew his gaze and did not take another look at the two middle-aged men. He simply regarded them as nothing and ignored them.
After Lu Gui was startled, he looked at the head of the Lu family, Lu Rui.
"Those who offend Elder Duan have no need to live in this world."
Lu Rui said in a calm tone without any emotion.
"No……"
As soon as Lu Rui finished speaking, the two middle-aged men kneeling on the ground trembled, raised their heads suddenly, and their expressions changed drastically.
boom!
And almost the moment they raised their heads, a loud noise spread like thunder.
In full view of the public, they followed in the footsteps of the middle-aged man in green, turned into blood mist, and completely disappeared from this world.
hiss! hiss! hiss! hiss! hiss!
…
For a moment, most of the group of alchemists present to participate in the 'Alchemist Competition' couldn't help but gasp.
They looked at Duan Lingtian again, full of awe.
"This elder Duan, after joining the Lu family, his status in the Lu family seems to be still higher than that of the head of the Lu family!"
Some people couldn't help but sigh.
"This is normal...after all, he is a 'first-grade alchemist'!"
"Some people may regret it to death now, right?"
…
Many people whispered, and some people's eyes unconsciously fell on a middle-aged man not far away.
The middle-aged man stood there with an ugly face.
"I have an impression of this person... I had a good chat with Duan Lingtian before, and we seemed to have become friends. However, later, Duan Lingtian was targeted by the Lu family elder 'Lu Zhao', but he avoided Duan Lingtian like the god of plague."
"I remember him too... At that time, he said he didn't know Duan Lingtian!"
"In just a blink of an eye, Duan Lingtian revealed his identity as a 'first-grade alchemist' and soared into the sky! If he hadn't done that, he might have followed Duan Lingtian to the sky."
"This is life! Some people have no shortage of opportunities, but because they failed to seize them, they can only despair in the end."
…
More and more people were talking. They looked at the middle-aged man with a bit more pity, and some even looked gloating about his misfortune.
The middle-aged man is none other than 'Huang Chun'!
Huang Chun stood there, and the waves of discussion coming from around him were like sharp needles piercing his ears, making his body tremble unconsciously.
These comments are undoubtedly exposing his scars!
His heart was already full of regret, but hearing the sarcasm from these people was like adding fuel to the fire, making him feel even more regretful.
"Why would I do that?"
"If I don't do that, I might be able to join the Lu family and become a descendant of the Lu family without participating in the 'Alchemist Competition'!"
…
While feeling regretful, his heart was filled with self-blame.
Whoosh!
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he jumped into the air and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
Obviously, he does not want to continue participating in the 'Alchemist Competition'.
Huang Chun's departure was noticed by Duan Lingtian, but he did not have any emotional fluctuations.
He could understand that Huang Chun abandoned him before to protect himself.
But Huang Chun said later that he didn't know him.
When Huang Chun said those words, he pretended that he didn't know Huang Chun, so even if Huang Chun left, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations.
"The alchemist competition begins!"
With Lu Sou's soft drink, everyone present came to their senses and stopped talking about Huang Chun who had just left.
"It's about to begin!"
"In the past history of the Lu family's 'Alchemist Competition', it seems that there has never been a 'First Grade Alchemist' referee!"
"Today, even if I am eliminated, my trip will not be in vain."
"Being eliminated by a first-grade alchemist, even if you tell anyone, it is enough to make people envious and jealous!"
…
A group of alchemists were talking about it, their words full of excitement.
Hearing these discussions, Duan Lingtian was speechless.
As for the senior officials of the Lu family, they can all understand this, because even if they were standing in the position of a group of alchemists who came to participate in the 'Alchemist Competition', they would think so.
Soon, the alchemist competition began.
The Alchemist Competition is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals.
In the preliminary round, half of the people are eliminated.
In the semi-finals, the remaining thirty people were eliminated, that is, those who could join the Lu family.
In the finals, the specific ranking of thirty people will be determined and they will receive rewards from the Lu family.
In the Alchemist Competition, whether it is the preliminary round, semi-finals, or finals, a group of people refine the same elixir, and finally the chief referee, Duan Lingtian, personally inspects it.
In terms of testing, in the past 'Alchemist Competition' held by the Lu family, only 'purity' was tested.
But Duan Lingtian is more than that.
In addition to testing the 'purity' of the elixirs refined by a group of people, he also discerned the secrets of their techniques from the elixirs, thereby judging who was better.
In the beginning, during the 'preliminary round', it was okay for Duan Lingtian to do this.
However, when it came to the semi-finals, some people were unconvinced, "Elder Duan, the elixir he refined is clearly not as pure as mine. Why can he advance, but I have to be eliminated?"
An alchemist pointed at another alchemist beside him and looked at Duan Lingtian with an unconvinced look on his face.
