Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 52 Alchemist Association
Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Alchemist Association
"What is yours? Anything the Alchemist Association desires becomes theirs, hand over the cauldron quickly, or we will annihilate your Mu Family." The leader in black said fiercely upon seeing Mu Can looking so pathetic.
"But, sir, isn’t this just blatant robbery?" Mu Can looked as if he was about to cry, tears swirling in his eyes.
Purple Cloud inside the Reincarnation Pearl was laughing hysterically already; this Mu Can was just too evil.
He could have easily killed them all but chose to act frightened instead.
"Yes, we are indeed robbing you, and not only do we want the Fire King Cauldron, but I hear your Mu Family has a beauty named Qingyi we also want to take." The man in black became even more arrogant seeing Mu Can almost cry.
"You Alchemists want the cauldron, I understand, but can you just take the cauldron and leave Qingyi with me?" Mu Can pleaded pathetically.
"Stop talking nonsense; we want both the cauldron and the person, speak more and you’ll be the first to die." The leader in black spoke viciously.
"Then why do you want the person?" asked Mu Can weakly.
"We heard there was a great beauty; boss wants to bring her back to serve the young master." replied the man in black.
"Oh? What did you say?" Hearing this, Mu Can’s feigned expression changed instantly, and he looked coldly at the man opposite him.
"What ’oh’? Are you seeking death? Didn’t you hear our leader? Hand over Qingyi too." another man in black immediately rebuked Mu Can when he saw him talk back.
"If that’s the case, I’m done playing with you all, you may all stay as guests in my Mu Family," Mu Can said coldly.
With the Alchemists’ strength barely reaching the peak of a Martial King, even if Mu Can’s own strength had just slipped, in his eyes, they were nothing but chickens and dogs.
The people in black burst into laughter upon hearing Mu Can’s words, as if they had just heard the world’s funniest joke.
"I’ve never seen anyone dare to threaten the Alchemist Association before. Do you know who I am? Little brat, go call out your elders. Tell them the Alchemist Association has arrived. Come out and kneel in homage." The leader in black said with a laugh.
The Alchemist Association, a colossal organization even in the whole Mortal World. In the declining era of Alchemy Dao in the Mortal World, beginners who couldn’t even qualify as Alchemy Apprentices in the past are now treated like honored guests by major families, let alone forming an association.
This respect gained everywhere slowly developed their highly arrogant characters, which is why the people from the Alchemist Association are so domineering.
"Don’t you understand what I’m saying? You all are staying here today," Mu Can said with a stern face, as cold as a giant block of ice.
If these people had only aimed to snatch the Fire King Cauldron, Mu Can might have beaten them and let them go. But since they mentioned Qingyi,
Today’s matter definitely wouldn’t be so simple.
"Elder brother, are you alright? Who are these people?" Old Hu had been pressured to the ground by a great force the moment the giant eyes appeared.
It was only after the giant eyes vanished that he managed to stand up and hurriedly ran towards Mu Can. Just then, a streak of light flashed, and a group of men in black appeared at the Mu Family.
"Just a bunch of clowns," Mu Can said nonchalantly, waving his hand. Not to mention having Xuanyuan Mingkong here, even without him, he could handle these people.
"You little brat, whom are you cursing? Are you looking for death?" the men in black cursed back.
"Cough cough." Xuanyuan Mingkong coughed lightly on the side and acted instantly.
Knowing that Mu Can had just been through a big battle and the effect of the Soul Pill was wearing off, Xuanyuan Mingkong was worried about his disciple getting exhausted, so he took action directly.
The six or seven men in black only saw a blur before they were all tied up.
That old man had managed to tie everyone up unnoticed.
"How dare you tie us up? The Alchemist Association won’t let you off!" Even though they had been tied up, the men in black still threatened viciously.
It seems the Alchemist Association indeed gave them tremendous courage.
"Oh? What is this Alchemist Association? They have the audacity to come to the Mu Family and make a scene." Mu Can, seeing that the man in black was tied up yet still dared to shout, walked forward and fiercely stomped on the man’s mouth.
The man in black whimpered in pain; two of his front teeth were knocked out by the kick, making him look utterly miserable.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the youth has become addicted to knocking out teeth, huh? But I like it," Purple Cloud laughed loudly from inside the Reincarnation Pearl.
This was the second person whose teeth Mu Can had knocked out today. The first was a short man who picked up a lucky escape and had already left.
"Old Hu, take these people down to the dungeon for me, lock them up tight; I still have use for these people," Mu Can patted the fatty’s shoulder as he gave his orders.
Old Hu’s performance today had been all seen by Mu Can; truly worthy of being his fellow disciple. Facing a giant snake with the strength of a Martial Venerate, he even dared to run up to help.
Mu Can couldn’t help but be moved. However, as a man, Mu Can wouldn’t say thank you to Old Hu, but he kept all these things in his heart.
"It’s also a good time to see what level the current alchemists are at," Mu Can thought indifferently. Since he had decided to become stronger, he might as well start from the way of the Alchemy Dao.
"Let’s go, master; it’s not early anymore." Mu Can said to Xuanyuan Mingkong. After three consecutive major battles in one day, Mu Can felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart, hurting all over. Finally, he could have a good rest, and other matters could wait until tomorrow.
Mu Can now just wanted to sleep well. He hadn’t had proper rest for three months straight and was already barely holding on.
Now, merely sustained by sheer persistence, Mu Can felt that he was about to collapse.
Suddenly, everything turned dark, and Mu Can fainted.
It was the same familiar dream.
In the dream, he was wearing golden armor, riding a gigantic Heavenly Dragon.
Behind him was an endless army of dark armored elites.
Next to him, a large flag fluttered in the wind, a big mysterious character on it, as if it was drenched in fresh blood.
Mu Can rode on the Heavenly Dragon, leading a charge towards the enemies on the opposite side.
The dream always stopped here, and what followed was boundless darkness.
"Brother Mu Can, you’re awake?" Mu Can slowly opened his eyes, hearing someone speaking next to him; it was Qingyi.
Qingyi was holding a bowl of steaming porridge, standing by Mu Can’s side.
"Qingyi." Mu Can looked at Qingyi and softly called out her name.
"Chirp chirp." Before Qingyi could speak, a small red bird on her shoulder began to chirp.
It was Xiao Hong, who had been reduced in size and healed by Bing’er.
"You’re awake, senior brother?" With a creak, Bing’er pushed the door open and said upon seeing Mu Can awaken.
Though her tone was still cold, it carried a hint of concern.
"Hurry and eat the porridge; someone’s come to stir trouble outside," Bing’er said coldly.
"Oh? Who is it?" Mu Can couldn’t think of anyone in Pingyun City who would dare to stir trouble.
"Some association, the fat one is handling it," Bing’er said indifferently, then turned leaving space for the two. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
