Insane Alchemist

After gathering all the information about Deacon Luo and his team, Jun's avatar was about to leave the restaurant when a skinny middle-aged man entered the restaurant. 

He was carrying a long spear and was accompanied by another handsome young man. 

"Shua Ji, look at these low lives, if you don't practice martial arts properly, you will end up like them." The skinny old man said with a disgusted expression as he glanced at all the men gossiping about deacon Luo. 

All the rough-looking men present at the scene were angered by the skinny man's rude remarks. They looked at him like they were about to devour him. 

The young man named Shua Ji hesitated for a bit before replying. "Master, shouldn't we talk about these kinds of things secretly? Why are you so loud?" 

"Haha," The skinny man laughed out loud, ignoring others gaze. "You know nothing, these fools can't even touch me, even if I were to slap them right now." 

Listening to the skinny man's rude tone, a rather valiant-looking man was about to stand up, when another man stopped him. 

"Ah Cheng, don't be impulsive. That skinny man is Alchemist Yan from Soaring Eagle Gang. You can't offend him." 

After hearing these words, the valiant-looking man gave up on the idea of retaliation and looked at Alchemist Yan with a nervous gaze. 

Soaring Eagle Gang was far more powerful and well-known than the previous gang that schemed against Jun last time. 

On top of that, Alchemist Yan was an alchemist of Soaring Eagle Gang. 

This meant that he had more privileges compared to others from the same gang, even though he was only in the middle stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. 

However, due to being holed up in a room experimenting and practicing alchemy, Alchemist Yan has nearly gone mad. 

Alchemist Yan's gaze lingered on the valiant-looking man for a moment before he noticed two weird guys sitting in a corner while wearing long black robes. 

Those robes were covering their faces, giving off a feeling that these people were from some kind of cult. 

"Hey, you two! You! the weird guys with a spooky vibe. Come here." Alchemist Yan shouted at the two men who were wearing a black robe. 

The black-robed men looked at each other and stood up. 

They approached Alchemist Yan obediently and stood beside him. 

"Go and arrange two seats for me and my dear disciple. My dear disciple has finally become a grade one alchemist." 

Alchemist Yan proudly patted Shua Ji's shoulder, while Shua Ji looked quite hesitant. 

"Of course, how can we not obey your orders, Alchemist Yan? Please follow us." The black-robed man led Alchemist Yan to an empty seat. 

Just as Alchemist Yan was about to say something, the black-robed man said. "Alchemist Yan, I have admired your alchemy skills. It would be my honor if you could allow me to treat you to a drink." 

"Haha." Alchemist Yan laughed out loud. 

"You see this, my dear disciple? This is what you call being popular and noble." Alchemist Yan was overjoyed. 

Shua Ji sighed and shook his head. 

After that, those two black-robed men led Alchemist Yan to a secluded room, while Alchemist Yan followed behind them with an elated expression.

On the other side, all the other men present in the restaurant were gloating over Alchemist Yan's misfortune. 

They didn't know who those black-robed men were, neither did they know what kind of intentions they had. 

They were just elated to see Alchemist Yan suffer a setback. 

"Is this guy just dumb or is he only acting like one?" Jun muttered to himself while peacefully watching the show from a corner. 

Jun's gaze lingered on the secluded room for a while before shifting it to Shu Ji who was calmly munching his food like nothing just happened. 

It was obviously clear that those two men did not have good intentions toward Alchemist Yan, however, Shua Ji was unusually too relaxed like it was just a normal thing. 

Was he colluding with those black-robed men to get rid of his own master or was he too innocent to know what was going on?

Creak!

While Jun was pondering over this question, a creaking sound was heard and the door of the secluded room slowly opened. 

A creepy figure of a man drenched in blood and carrying two beheaded heads in both of his arms came out of the door. 

It was Alchemist Yan, who had just beheaded the two black-robed men.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was silent.

Some were too nervous to even look at Alchemist Yan, while a small number of people were looking at the scene calmly. 

Jun was shocked to witness such a scene today. However, he still looked calm and composed on the outside. 

This was his first time seeing murder being committed inside the city. 

However, he was also aware that among the three sections of Golden Moon City, this restaurant was situated in the outermost section. 

Which is why, it was normal for such scenes to occur here. 

Jun was stunned for a moment before he collected himself back. 

Before leaving the restaurant, he opened Shua Ji's attribute panel because he was curious about how talented this young man was. 

[Name: Shua Ji] 

[Cultivation: 4th stage Qi Condensation Realm] 

[Profession: Grade 1 Alchemy Apprentice] 

[Insight: Good] 

[Constitution: Bronze Physique] 

[Technique: Eight Hands Spirit Technique(Earth grade low-level), Green Flame Arts(Mortal grade high-level)]

[Spiritual Root: Fire Elemental(Earth grade low-level)] 

[Talent: Alchemy Master(Earth grade high-level)]

Jun was truly impressed after seeing Shua Ji's status panel. 

Shua Ji has the potential to become a full-fledged Alchemy Master! 

This also means that Jun has no chance of selling his talent scroll to Shua Ji and expanding his influence to Soaring Eagle Gang. 

Shaking his head dejectedly, Jun was about to leave when his gaze turned to a shocking scene. 

It was Alchemist Yan's status panel. 

[Name: Mo Yan] 

[Cultivation: 9th stage Qi Condensation Realm] 

[Profession: Grade Three Alchemy Apprentice]

[Insight: Excellent]

[Technique: Yin Fiend Palm Technique(Earth grade high-level), Soul Seeking Sutra(Earth grade mid-level)]

[Spiritual Root: Wood Elemental(Mortal grade high-level)] 

[Talent: Focus(Inferior grade high-level)]

'What? Does He Only Have One Inferior-grade Talent? How Did He Become An Alchemist?' Jun was stunned once again. 

Alchemist Yan was hiding his true cultivation as well as his lack of talent. 

"Doesn't that mean that it's time for business?" Jun smiled creepily and rubbed his hands in anticipation of new business opportunities in front of him.
