Rex awkwardly looked at the corpse lying on the cold road.
..Chirp..Chiiirp….
Kenery hid her beak under her right-wing as she tried to hold back her laughter but her mellow voice didn't escape Rex's ears which in turn made his face dark, he shot a glance at her and she immediately quieted down.
"Who told him to start with so much bullshit, they all start with what my young master is or what my father is, my family.. etc type of shit can't they have anything for themselves to talk about? Well, whatever I didn't plan to let him walk freely anyway. I was just thinking of making him a eunuch if he had a piece of mind but it looks like he doesn't so he was going to die, either way, it just saved us some time," Rex explained.
Jiang Qing bitterly laughed, she had nothing to say to him.
When Old Three heard it, his face became somewhat dark, they had to attack Alchemist Association because of Rex, although the Alchemist Association here isn't something exaggerated as even the guards here are just around the Human Venerable stage but it's because the current Alchemist Association consisted of the leftovers of the original one that used to be here before the interference Divide and Rule tactics initiated by Azure Emperor. Old Three feared that if they angered the real Alchemist Association then they won't have a good ending, even if they managed to free themselves from Rex.
Rex suddenly walked to the dead Young Master Zhu and placed his hand above his dantian.
Jiang Qing's eyes flickered, she saw that a pinkish flame came out of his dantian and hovered above Rex's palm.
"Tch.. Alchemist my foot, he was far from truly synchronizing with his flame, although the flame's strength had been significantly increased but he wasn't able to completely subdue it or it would have either died with him or had at least showed strong resistance towards the one who killed its host," Rex said.
He then saw Jiang Qing staring at the flame.
"You want it?" He asked.
"Eh… No, I don't have any plans to be an alchemist and I cultivate water element Qi so this won't suit me," Jiang Qing denied. Although she liked this pinkish flame but it carried more cons than pros for her.
'This flame has a good presence which alone could let it rank among the top 50 on the monster flame ranking, furthermore, it has an unusual sweet smell. If I am right, then it can soon reach Essence Flame grade if cultivated properly, by the way, Rose tell me what is the progress of my flames, how much I would profit if I sucked out the flame essence from this one,' Rex asked.
[Scarlet Heavenly Flame(Lvl: Essence Flame : : Progress: 83%)]
[Nebula Blue Flame(Lvl: Essence Flame : : Progress: 83%)]
[Going with the flow both the flames can reach Karmic Level when you are at Sky Body Formation peak stage or maybe after that. If you absorb the flame essence of this flame then you might be able to increase one's progress by two percent or each's progressed by one percent if used for both and this is only because you are absorbing flame essence for the first time,]
'If it's like this then it's better to wait and let it naturally upgrade,' Rex tried to store the flame in Inventory and succeeded, these types of flames could be stored in a storage ring so it wasn't surprising when he was able to store it in Inventory.
"Courting Death," A loud cry came from the mansion than an old man with fireballs in his two hands flew out of the castle.
Old One and Old Two surrounded him from both sides.
When Rex saw him, he noticed that the old man just had the cultivation base of Core Forming peak stage, it was because of the searing hot red flames that Old One and Old Two were slightly cautious when fighting him moreover Rex told them to bring him alive so they cannot afford to use too much strength and kill him.
In the next second, they both took out their weapon and prepared to restrain him quickly.
The old man didn't know their cultivation base but he knew if he could hold on a little longer then the guards of the city would take care of them, just then his eyes landed on Rex and he frowned, he didn't think there would be more attackers outside, suddenly his eyes widened, he saw his only son lying dead near Rex.
His eyes went bloodshot as he roared towards the sky.
"AHHHahahhahahha youuuu scouudnreeellll…" The old man shouted at the top of his lungs which attracted many peoples' attention in the city.
'Appraisal: Name' (Rex)
[Name: Zhu Yuan]
"Number Three go help your brothers," Rex said casually, he wasn't worried about them losing, after all, the three brothers were at Golden Core 5th stage, Golden Core 5th stage, and Golden Core 4th stage respectively. He just wanted to make it as quick as possible.
Zhu Yuan saw the approaching third man and stopped shouting, he looked at Rex one last time before he waved his hand and the flame around his hand moved, covering him from all sides. The flame shell then suddenly exploded, making the three old men took a step back, when the flames disappeared they realized that Zhu Yuan was not in his place.
Rex stared at the silhouette covered in the fire who was rushing towards the tower like a shooting star.
The Old Three noticed him and turned around to chase him with his brothers but Rex stopped them.
"Master Ye, now that we have already started the fight, it's better to finish him before he asks his seniors for help," Jiang Qing said anxiously.
"Let him go, he will lead us to the one who helped him to make trouble for us. I want to finish this once and for all," Rex said then he turned toward the incoming trio.
"You three help me in emptying his Inventory fast, if we let his treasury as it is then it would make many people greedy and eventually a fight would break out and many people would suffer because of that, I don't want that to happen so I will take care of it for everyone's sake," Rex said in a righteous tone.
All three of them exchanged glances. They just realized that in terms of shamelessness, they are like newborn chicks compared to this T-Rex.
....
Inside the tower….
In a room on the highest floor of the tower….
The walls of the room were coated with silver, the furniture was made of gold, the white floor was shining like pearls. The room was grand and luxurious, a couch was placed near the balcony and youth was lying on it.
An old man was standing near him with a flattering smile plastered on his face.
"What do Young Master Lee think about our branch here? If Young Master Lee needs anything you can tell me without hesitation, and I have prepared some small gifts as our meeting gift they will soon arrive here," The old man smiled and showed his bright teeth as he said that.
The young man faintly smiled.
'Gift my ass, first, you tried to use women to seduce me, and now bribery in the name of gifts? Does he think that I was born yesterday? Or I am some janitor at the Alchemist Association not some Alchemist? Dammit! I get it Master wanted me to take a tour of other branches and learn from people there but what can this perverted bastard teach me? How to make Aphrodisiacs?
There is not a single thing in this city that can give me the feel of being an Alchemist, all alchemists here are either bandits or merchants, this branch is a disgrace to the whole association. After I go back I swear I will finish off his courier as an Alchemist,' Young Master Lee cursed inwardly.
Lee Jae Rin was one of the young genius at the main headquarters of Alchemist Association in Peaceful Heaven Continent, he had reached the Alchemist Great Grand Master and was just one step away from reaching Spirit Alchemy Master but even after trying several times, he wasn't able to refine a spirit rank pill moreover he failed to find out where did he go wrong, that was when his Master asked him to stop trying to refine the pill further and go outside the Grand Alchemist Tower to see the world, visit the Alchemist Association branches in other continents and learn from people there.
He visited several branches in Myriad Beast Continent and indeed he learned a lot there. As for Demonic Fiend Continent, his cultivation base wasn't strong enough that he could feel safe there so it was out of the question for now, but the thing that hurt him the most was why the hell he was here? The highest status alchemist here was barely his match, most of the pills here are supplied by the other branches which was a disgrace this branch had to face but they don't even seem to be bothered by it at all, furthermore that damn old foggy wanted him to put some good words for him at the main headquarters for increasing the resources supply.
Just when he was still thinking that, a man covered in fire barged in the room through the balcony and crashed into the wall. Lee Jae Rin stood up abruptly and looked at the injured man.
The old man beside him was bewildered when he recognized the face of the man.
"Zhu Yuan! What the hell are you doing, how dare you barge into the room when I am talking to the esteemed guest of our association branch here," He anxiously shouted at him.
Lee Jae Rin rolled his eyes.
"Huff… Gr.eat Grand Master, I didn't want to disturb you but… some people barged into my house and killed a lot of people including my son, now they are after me… Save me," Zhu Yuan supported his body using the table near him to stand up. In truth, he wasn't that much injured because a trio of old men wanted to catch him alive but now that he had come here asking for help he tried to look pitiful as possible.
Lee Jae Rin slightly frowned. He wasn't blind and could see that there are not many injuries on his body and the man didn't look like a saint either but attacking the association in broad daylight… they are disgracing their Alchemist Association.
The Great Grand Master Alchemist also frowned, he seriously wanted to slap Zhu Yuan right now. Although he didn't know why someone attacked Zhu Yuan but he did know that Zhu Yuan probably did something unspeakable after all he was very familiar with him and knew what kind of person was he, the problem was if the enemy revealed anything in front of Lee Jae Rin then as the head of the branch here, he would be good as dead.
Zhu Yuan could also guess that so he didn't give the old man any chance to scheme and start telling his pitiful story after some serious editing. In the new story, Rex had come to steal his honest earnings.
…Clap…Clap… x 3
Zhu Yuan had just finished his story when he heard the clapping sound coming from the balcony. Lee Jae Rin and others turned around and saw Rex sitting on the railing of the balcony.
Lee Jae Rin was startled when he saw Rex, Rex looked young as him in his base form but had the guts to barge into the associated so openly.
"Are those your final words?" Rex asked with a smile harmless to humans and animals.
"Youuu! How dare you barge ahhh…." The Great Grand Master was just shouting at Rex but in the next second, he felt his legs grow cold to the extreme, when he looked down he was horrified, his feet had already turned into a chunk of ice.
"I don't like someone shouting at me," Rex said then advanced toward Zhu Yuan.
He only took a step that Lee Jae Rin stepped forwards and blocked him.
"It's not good to be so arrogant at such a young age, I have no idea what grudge you have against him neither do I have any wish to know about it but don't you think it's too much to barge in here? Isn't this like a slap in the face of Alchemist Association?" Lee Jae Rin's tone grew colder by the end of the sentence, he raised his hand and a light green flame appeared in his hand, the flame moved like flowing wind and swirled around his body like a coiling dragon.
