C288 Kicking on the Iron Plate of the Foot
"The reward for first place in this Pill Refining Competition should be the ability to read the ten thousand medicinal herbs!"
Lin Long thought as he sat in the hall of the courtyard.
After having been reborn, it was naturally easy for him to recall these things based on the memories of his previous life. Honestly speaking, he was not too interested in the ten thousand medicinal herbs, because with his current knowledge, he did not need them.
However, there was one thing that piqued his interest, and that was the recipe he lacked and needed to obtain it right now. This was because he needed to obtain the recipe in order to refine the Spirit Flame within the Alchemists Union.
The spiritual flame was different from other spiritual fires. It could only be completely refined through the pill formula, otherwise it would be useless.
This was to say that, no matter what, he had to obtain first place and obtain the right to read these ten thousand medicinal herbs.
Otherwise, if he wanted to obtain this right, he could only obediently stay in the Alchemists Union for ten years, but there was no way he would waste ten years of time here.
After that, besides cultivating, Lin Long would either go to Kong Zhi's place, or whisper sweet nothings to him.
Because the Pill Refining Competition was around the corner, Kong Zhi did not put too much thought into Lin Long. After all, the strength Lin Long displayed before was not strong enough to place in the top three.
From Kong Zhi's point of view, Lin Long was just someone who had potential, but could not reveal his skills in such a short period of time.
Therefore, Kong Zhi's attention was completely focused on Lin Long's other senior brother.
Also because of the Pill Refining Competition, Lin Long and Lin Shiyin's wedding was delayed.
As time passed, the time for the Pill Refining Competition got closer and closer, and the number of talented youths coming to Heavenly Star City became more and more. It could be said that the streets of Heavenly Star City were packed with people.
There were so many people that they had no choice but to live outside the city. However, to the people of Heavenly Star City, this was a common occurrence, so they did not feel that anything was amiss.
On this day, Lin Long, who had just returned from a market outside, couldn't help but frown when he arrived at the Alchemists Union's gate, because there was actually a long queue at the gate.
Normally, Lin Long would naturally be able to enter the Alchemists Union from another direction, but in recent days, due to the increasing number of people in the Heavenly Star City, in order to prevent accidents from happening, the Alchemists Union had no choice but to follow strict rules, which was that everyone must enter the Alchemists Union from the main entrance. Even Lin Long, who was recognized by the President, was no exception.
Of course, even then, they wouldn't queue to enter the Alchemists Union.
The reason why they met with such a scene today was because the Alchemists Union had organized a training course, and in other words, had a teacher come to teach them. This naturally attracted the attention of the young talents outside of Alchemists Union.
They all flocked over. From their point of view, even if they won't be placed in the competition, participating in this kind of training would be beneficial for them.
Of course, not just some cats and dogs could enter the Alchemists Union to listen to such lectures. The Alchemists Union had set a rule that only second-rate alchemists could enter.
There were naturally not many second class alchemists, Lin Long just happened to be here at the wrong time.
However, waiting for this bit of time did not matter to Lin Long anymore. He even enjoyed it because it made him feel like he had truly returned to the past, back to that young and inexperienced time.
Who would have thought that right after he stood in the convoy, a person suddenly walked out from the convoy in front. This person was elegant and unrestrained, with a fan in his hand, he was shockingly the Sikong Yu that he saw on his first day in Heavenly Star City.
Lin Long had a lot of memories of him, because he still vividly remembered the scene of being rejected.
Lin Long's intuition told him that there wasn't anything good about Sikong Yu coming here.
As expected, before he even got close, Sikong Yu spoke in a weird tone, "Yo, isn't this the person who wanted to use a unique method to strike up Miss Shi Yin's face that day at the Heavenly Star Restaurant?"
"Senior Brother Sikong, is this person also going to strike up a conversation with Miss Shiyin?"
"Hahaha, this is too funny. Such a person actually went to hit on Miss Shiyin."
"If he could strike up a conversation with Miss Shiyin, perhaps even sows would be able to climb trees."
"Just because you look better, you want to hit on Miss Shiyin. Do you think the sun will rise from the west?"
All of a sudden, a few people lined up beside Sikong Yu started to ridicule him.
They recognized Sikong Yu and knew his identity. They also knew that Sikong Yu would definitely not provoke any kind of expert, so they naturally started to mock him in order to curry favor with him.
That day, after failing to strike up a conversation, Sikong Yu had coincidentally left Heavenly Star City for a few days, so he had missed out on a series of show. Otherwise, if he knew that Lin Long was the one who had been looked after by Kong Zhi, Luo Hong and the others, and kicked him into a state of inhumanity, even if he had ten guts, he would not dare to say such words to Lin Long.
As for the few people beside him, they had also just arrived at the Heavenly Star City from the outside towns, so they naturally did not know of Lin Long's identity. They thought that Lin Long was just like them, a bitter person who had lined up here, naturally because he was not afraid of causing any trouble.
That day, Sikong Yu had also investigated Lin Long a little. What he obtained was that Lin Long was an outsider who had just arrived at Heavenly Star City, so he obviously did not place Lin Long in his eyes.
Seeing them act this way, Lin Long could not help but feel that it was funny, but he was not the kind of man who would fight with others just for a few words, of course, the most important thing was that he was in a good mood today.
Seeing that Lin Long was actually smiling, and thought that Lin Long was mocking his for failing to strike up a conversation, Sikong Yu's face immediately became ugly.
Coincidentally, at this time, the disciple in charge of checking the identity of the Alchemists Union, who was at the entrance, walked over as if something had happened.
Sikong Yu had a good relationship with this disciple of the Alchemists Union, so he immediately spoke to him, "Senior brother Huo Feng, this person does not even have the strength of a second tier alchemist, to think she would try to sneak into the Alchemists Union, he really does not put the rules of the Alchemists Union in her eyes."
Although Sikong Yu was much stronger than Huo Feng, as Huo Feng was a disciple of the Alchemists Union, he would usually kiss ass and call Huo Feng "Senior Brother".
Seeing that Sikong Yu was clearly making things difficult for him, Huo Feng thought that the other party was someone weaker than Sikong Yu, so he naturally wanted to repay Sikong Yu.
Therefore, he did not even try to verify Lin Long's true strength, and directly treated Lin Long as someone who was not even a second tier alchemist. Immediately, he had a cold expression on his face, "Brother, Alchemists Union is not a place where you can enter just because you want to, so, quickly leave."
Huo Feng was also a disciple of the Alchemists Union who had just returned from the outside world. Although he had heard about Lin Long's past, he had never seen Lin Long before.
Because of this, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Originally, Sikong Yu and the rest were already annoyed from the side, but now that Huo Feng was being so snobbish and bullying, Lin Long did not have a good expression on his face.
His face darkened as he said coldly, "Senior, what if I don't leave?"
"Yo, you're quite bold, you actually dare to contradict Alchemists Union's senior brother." The surrounding people immediately shouted.
Their words naturally made Huo Feng enjoy listening to them. Huo Feng knew that the strength of these people were all similar to his, but they all flattered and called him Senior Brother because of the relationship between the Alchemists Union s.
With this, Huo Feng wanted to become the big bro and teach this blind Lin Long a lesson.
He immediately straightened his face and shouted at Lin Long: "I gave you face and you are so shameless, do you believe that I will beat you up?"
Hearing Huo Feng say that, the few people beside Sikong Yu rolled up their sleeves and shouted, "Senior brother Huo Feng, stand by the side and let us teach this brat who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is for you."
With such a chance to pull some strings with the Alchemists Union, how could they miss it?
After saying that, some of them immediately brandished their fists and smashed towards Lin Long, while others directly flew over to give him a kick.
The people of Alchemists Union had spoken, what more do they have to fear?
They originally thought that they could quickly beat Lin Long up into a pig's head, but never would they have thought that before the punches and kicks even landed on Lin Long's body, they would see a shadow fly towards them, followed by a strong gust of wind.
Even though they were also practitioners of Martial Master Realm, they did not have the chance to resist at all at this time. They were directly sent flying by Lin Long's Zephyr legs, and even Sikong Yu, who did not try to attack from the side and wanted to watch Lin Long get beaten up, was not spared.
"Aiyo! Aiyo!"
All of the people that were kicked away by Lin Long started to wail, and in that moment, no one was able to stand back up.
The reason it was like this was because Lin Long had attacked them with such force that all of them had suffered heavy injuries.
At the sight of this, everyone in the queue turned their heads, their faces filled with surprise.
There was actually someone who dared to fight in front of the Alchemists Union. This was the thing that shocked them the most.0
Coincidentally, all of these people came to the Heavenly Star City recently, so no one recognized Lin Long at all.
"You … You actually dared to beat someone up in the Alchemists Union. You must be tired of living!" Huo Feng was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
He thought that Lin Long wouldn't dare to hit him, but he quickly realized that he was wrong, because the moment he finished speaking, Lin Long had already sent a flying kick flying.
With a "bang" sound, he flew directly towards the Alchemists Union's gate, and coincidentally, as he was violently spurting out a mouthful of blood in the air, he smashed towards the few Alchemists Union's people who were just about to exit the gate.
These people thought that Huo Feng would be able to stop the conflict outside immediately, but it got worse and worse. They immediately came out to see what was going on, but who would've thought that even Huo Feng would be kicked in the face.
And it was very obvious that this kick was not light.
"Who dares to spout such nonsense at Alchemists Union!" The leader of the few immediately shouted in anger.
However, he did not call out the last word because his voice suddenly stopped.
The reason was because he realized that it was Lin Long who had acted. It was Lin Long who had kicked the overpowered Liu Jingtong until he was inhumane and completely fine a few days ago.
How could he dare to provoke such a person? Thus, after discovering that it was Lin Long, he immediately swallowed the word "wild" that was about to be shouted out.
"Senior Brother Gu, this fellow actually dares to fight here. Help me teach him a lesson and chase him out of Heavenly Star City!" Before Huo Feng realized what was going on, he coughed and panted as he continued to speak to Senior Gu, who was standing beside him.
The other two people who followed Senior Brother Gu also saw Lin Long, and immediately looked at Huo Feng as if he was an idiot, while silently cursing him as an idiot.
Then, under the shocked eyes of Huo Feng, Sikong Yu and the rest, the faces of the three disciples immediately changed as they smiled at Lin Long, "So it's Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, they didn't hurt you just now right?"
F * ck, what's going on?
This Lin Long was actually a disciple of the Alchemists Union?
These people were senior brothers but they were actually so courteous to Lin Long?
What kind of powerful being was behind Lin Long?
Countless questions appeared in the minds of these people.
Sikong Yu, Huo Feng and the rest immediately realised that they were not pinching a soft persimmon, but kicking a steel plate.
