Chapter Eighty-One: Assassination Storm (Part 2)

  "Have you found Long Ge?" a member of the Water Empire's assassination squad asked.

  "Found it!" another member said.

  "Where is he? Let's go settle him!" the teammate in front asked.

  "It seems we can't make it, that place is not somewhere we can enter!" said a team member from behind.

  These water empire people all wear blue attire, and their ages are similar, so it's hard to tell them apart in terms of seniority. However, they're all high-level masters with great aura; is there anywhere they wouldn't dare go?

  Long Song is now leisurely drinking tea with a sly smile on his face.

  "Long Ge Lao, what important matter brings you to the Alchemist Guild?" a young alchemist who was in charge of receiving guests said, showing respect despite being younger than Long Ge, for true strength is the manifestation of one's status.

  "Ah!" Long Ge laughed and put down his teacup, pulled out a list from his pocket, and said to the young man, "Prepare these materials for me!"

  This young man took a look and found that all the materials on it were for refining third-grade elixirs. He thought to himself, "Elder Longge is really something else, he's only refining third-grade elixirs."

  Half an hour later, inside the alchemy room.

  "The materials are all ready, Elder Longge!" The young man laid out a large pile of materials in front of Longge.

  "Alright! I've started refining it. Whoever needs to watch can come over and take a look." Long Ge said, then began purifying the materials in front of him.

  "Good!" said the young man, and he hastened to call people to come and watch.

  When a large crowd came to watch Long Songzi refine the elixir, Long Song had already purified the materials three times and was now purifying them for the fourth time.

  Long Song skillfully used the fire to burn the material with spiritual power, and now Long Song's flame has turned orange, which is very good for burning medicine!

  "Whoosh!" The fourth successful refinement sounded, Long Song continued to refine, only with higher precision of the medicinal materials could there be a higher chance of synthesizing new medicinal materials.

  "Puff!" The fifth successful purification sounded!

  "Puff!" The sixth successful refinement sounded! Long Ge was still refining with ease, his powerful spiritual force deeply controlling the synthesis of the elixir.

  "Puff!" The seventh successful purification sounded!

  Does Long Song still need to be purified?

  It's over! With Long Song's current strength, refining a third-grade lower-tier dan is already at the limit!

  Perhaps when he reaches the Qi Cauldron level, Long Song can refine even higher-level elixirs.

  Next is the alchemy, where the purified medicinal material is melted into Dan water by fire. This step is the simplest, and it's done as long as it's completely melted, but don't overdo the fire, or it will easily turn the Dan water into ash!

  Long Song lightly dissolved and then used his super strong spiritual power to gather Dan, that is, to condense the Dan water into a pill!

  For Ning Dan, Long Ge's skills are really too familiar!

  After a full thirty minutes, Long Song's alchemy furnace was filled with refreshing and intense medicinal fragrance. This fragrance let everyone around know that the elixir had been successfully refined!

  The low-grade Soul Pellet was successfully refined.

  As the lid of the stove was opened, thirty-six round and shiny pellets of dan medicine appeared before everyone's eyes.

  Thirty-six particles! The pinnacle of proficiency!

  "It's no wonder he's the Dragon Song Elder!" The people around him whispered to each other in admiration, all of them astonished by Long Yue's incredibly skilled technique.

  "Ah! Long Song Elder is continuing to refine the elixir again!" Someone beside him discovered that Long Song was once again refining his medicine!

  Only to see Long Song continuing to refine the medicine, Long Song also had no choice but to do so. Outside the Alchemist Guild, there was a team waiting to assassinate him. He could only stay inside and refine pills without daring to go out. Those waiting outside were also very frustrated - how long had Long Song been in there?! Although frustrated, they absolutely did not dare to charge in. Once they charged in, it would definitely be a tragic ending of being surrounded and killed! So they could only wait bitterly outside.

  Long Song refined the elixir for a whole day and obtained a total of 16 furnaces of small soul dan, more than 500 grains of small soul dan!

  Long Song sent 200 pills of Little Soul Dan to the Alchemist Guild, and then exchanged 200 pills for a large number of low-level elixirs, such as Big Return Dan and Medium Recovery Dan. Now Long Song doesn't have much spare time to refine low-level elixirs.

  After refining the medicine until evening, Long Song also felt that the time was about right and prepared to leave the Alchemist Guild. However, when he walked to the entrance of the Alchemist Guild, he suddenly realized those gazes again - hostile gazes!

  Long Song was speechless, he had been refining the elixir for a whole day, and those people were still outside, feeling depressed.

  It's the same situation as this morning, but at least there were teachers of the Air King level protecting us then. Now if we go out, it's just the streets, and who knows, maybe those few small teams will wipe us out in an instant!

  Long Song couldn't help but return to the Alchemist Guild dejectedly, eating dinner in the hall, slowly savoring each bite, thinking to himself: "I bet you can't wait any longer!"

  Long Song invited the alchemists of the Alchemist Guild to have dinner together, "Everyone come and have dinner!", after finishing speaking, he took out a large amount of food from his spatial ring.

  Long Song elder invited them over, and no one would refuse, so those alchemists all ran over to have dinner.

  "Oh, right, what level are the elders here?" Long Ge said while eating the demon beast's leg. Now, in order for Long Ge to safely leave this place, he needed a bodyguard.

  "Our seniors here are generally capable of refining third-grade superior elixirs, and their levels are all above the Qi Condensation stage." A young alchemist beside him said, taking a sip of the Monster Soup as he spoke.

  Long Ge couldn't help but laugh after hearing that. "Hehe, I just need to call an elder to go back to the dorm with me and there won't be any problem at all!"

  Long Song happily ate his meal and had a young alchemist call an elder over.

  Twenty minutes later, after Long Ge finished dinner, an elder also came.

  "Little Dragon Song, what do you want from me?" The elder had a snowy white beard and a kindly face, but at this moment, his expression wasn't very pleasant. "I'm in the middle of refining medicine right now, preparing to concoct a furnace of elixir. What did you call me over for? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll make you regret it!"

  "Oh, it's like that!" Long Song pulled the white-bearded elder aside and told him about his current predicament of being hunted down.

  "Hmm?! Someone dares to be reckless in the Imperial Capital?" The old man with a white beard said, his beard fluttering as he spoke. "Alright, I'll follow you and see who dares to provoke our Alchemists' Guild."

  "Thank you, Elder Bai Hu!" Long Ge heard and hurriedly said thank you, then pulled Elder Bai Hu's hand and walked out of the Alchemist Guild together!

  ……

  "Longge has come out!" said a member of the assassination squad of the Earth Empire, who was most sensitive to the surrounding environment due to his earth attribute and thus discovered Longge's emergence first.

  "Shall we get started?" asked a member of the earth-yellow clad assassination squad, seemingly the squad leader.

  "Alright!......No! Hold on!" The captain of this earth team stopped his teammates' rash behavior, "Long Ge isn't alone, next to him is a cyclone-level expert!"

  "What? The cyclone's level is two levels higher than ours, and its Dou Qi energy is at least twenty times stronger than ours. How can we possibly defeat the Dragon Song?" said a member of the Earth team.

  "We can only endure! Let's see how other empires handle it!" said the captain of the Earth Empire's assassination squad.

  While other imperial teams found Long Song's trail after the Water Imperial Team and also invited Long Song, however, they are now facing a helpless situation against Long Song who is under the protection of a top-notch master!

  Long Ge smiled brightly at those who were secretly watching him, a radiant smile on his face.

  Those little team members did not give up, always following Long Ge's back, hoping to get a chance to kill Long Ge, but Bai Hu Lao Lao was always walking beside Long Ge, his hands intentionally or unintentionally protecting Long Ge's side!

  They just kept walking like that until they reached the entrance of the Imperial Academy, and none of the assassination squad members found an opportunity to kill Long Song!

  Long Song returned safely to the Imperial Academy under the protection of Bai Hu's elder, and then entered the campus safely. Those few assassination team members could only watch Long Song's back and sigh.

  Although Long Song has passed this crisis, the continuous crises that follow will still appear. At that time, Long Song can only rely on himself (those gas king-level masters will not sell protection to Long Song unless it's dangerous!).

  Long Song returned to his dormitory when the sky had already darkened, Long Song thought about the crisis he experienced today, and a kind of inexplicable fighting spirit suddenly burned in the darkness!

  "They want to assassinate me! I can also kill them!"

  "They want me dead, and I will make them dead too!"

  "They're looking for an opportunity to kill me, well! I'll take on this challenge!"

  "I want to continuously improve my skills and constantly perfect my techniques!"

  "I want to make myself stronger, I want everyone to know how strong I am!"

  "I want to live on, to live strongly!"

  Long Song thought as he practiced the "Dragon Family Gun Method". In the darkness, Long Song's long spear emitted a glow, and his entire body also emitted a glow.

  The first realm of marksmanship - Man and gun as one!

  The dragon song and gun dance started, like a dragon, they merged into one entity, man is the gun! The gun is man! At this moment, the realm of unity between the dragon song and the gun reached perfection. In an instant, the dragon song entered a state of profound silence!

  Long Ge continued to dance with his long spear, suddenly he and the spear separated, but the separated spear was still under Long Ge's control!

  The second realm of marksmanship - separation of man and gun!

  Man is still man, gun is still gun, but the spirit of man and gun are inseparable. Long Ge uses his spiritual power to skillfully control the movement of the long spear, pointing east to strike east, pointing west to strike west. Although at this time Long Ge has already separated from the spear, the spear is still a part of Long Ge's body!

  At this moment, Long Song's gun technique had reached the second realm of perfection!

  However, Long Ge still continued to control the long spear with his spiritual power!

  Can Long Song reach the third realm of gun fu's essence?
