“Miss Chen Xi, would Jiang Chen’s result still be great in the Three Upper Realms?” A man from the Elixir Fire Union asked . They were quite reluctant to accept the reality .

“Pretty good . I spent one whole minute to subdue the little burning man . ” Chen Xi was staring at Jiang Chen while speaking .
She told others about her record so that they would realize how brilliant Jiang Chen’s record was . He was even better than the Elixir Emperor’s descendant!
The Heaven Alchemists of the Elixir Fire Union looked at each other, speechless . The Elixir Association also changed their opinions about Jiang Chen . Just like Yan Ruyu, the other nine participants had been skeptical of Jiang Chen to different degrees . They thought the Elixir Association was using him to blow smoke at them .
However, he just showed how great he was in such a casual way .
Taking back the little fiery burning man, Chen Xi went back to her seat . She said, “We’ve done with today’s task . Now you can just relax . ”
After a few seconds’ silence, the hall started to get lively .
“Miss Chen Xi, please don’t use Brother Jiang Chen’s record as the standard of the test,” a Heaven Alchemist from the Elixir Association said . He did not know Jiang Chen at all, but he mentioned the latter in a quite warm way . The other Heaven Alchemists nodded involuntarily to agree with him . They had seen how powerful the little fiery burning man was from the first three men .
Jiang Chen’s performance was extraordinarily good . If this was the standard of the test, it would not be surprising that he was the only one that could pass .
“I will design the test accordingly . ” Beaming, Chen Xi did not speak more .
Then the geniuses who had come with the Heaven Alchemists engaged in small talk with Chen Xi warmly, trying to currying favor with her .

If they could be friends with the Elixir Emperor’s descendant, they would be able to do whatever they wanted in the Three Middle Realms . However, Chen Xi’s attention was on Jiang Chen . She asked for his opinion from time to time or just had a little chitchat with him . Many people felt jealous . However, due to the episode with the little burning man, no one said anything .
“By the way, Jiang Chen is a practitioner of martial arts techniques as well as an alchemist . He will take part in the Title Battle,” Jiang Zhe suddenly said .
“Oh?” Chen Xi was piqued with interest . As the Elixir Emperor’s descendant, she certainly knew what that meant .
“Given that Young Master Jiang Chen is a Heaven Alchemist, it’s amazing that you managed to also be a Celestial Venerable . You are really a rare genius,” Chen Xi said .
“If such a genius could have focused on only one thing, he would have achieved something greater . However, he is so stubborn about riding two horses at once . It’s not surprising that he is constantly distracted, and his talent is being wasted,” Jiang Zhe said with pity . He did not sound like he was targeting Jiang Chen . However, anyone that knew about the grudges between Jiang Chen and him would know how vicious his words were .
“Many people work on martial arts techniques and elixirs at the same time . It’s true that only a few of them can be one of the best at both . That being said, they’ll still be able to be omnipotent as long as they have one thing,” Chen Xi caught everyone’s attention with her shocking words .
“And what is it?” Jiang Chen asked out of curiosity .
“Alien Flame . ” Chen Xi answered him quickly without beating about the bush . She added, “People with the Alien Flame can ride two horses at once . More than that, they’ll even gain more things from doing so . ”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha . ” Jiang Chen burst out laughing after hearing her . He looked towards Jiang Zhe on the other side . The others did not know why, but Jiang Zhe knew . He looked embarrassed . The Jiangs had almost given the Sky-burning Evil Flame away to Jiang Chen as a gift .
“Young Master Jiang Chen, why are you laughing? Do you have Alien Flame?” Chen Xi asked curiously .

“I think, Miss Chen Xi, you already know the answer,” Jiang Chen said, without answering her directly .
“Yes . If you can subdue the Sky-burning Evil Flame, it won’t be difficult for you to subdue the little fiery burning man . ” Nodding, Chen Xi did not deny it .
“What?! The Sky-burning Evil Flame?”
“So, he is Young Master Wind?”
“No wonder he laughed at Jiang Zhe . ”
Everyone there was surprised . They had all heard about the Sky-burning Evil Flame . By then, they could draw the conclusion that Jiang Chen and Young Master Wind were the same person .
Jiang Chen looked at Tian Ling, sitting not far away, when he heard such comments . He had never forgotten Tian Ling had helped him when he was confronting the Jiangs . Wearing a veil and white clothes, Tian Ling looked as pure as a goddess in a painting .
She was surprised to hear the news too . When Jiang Chen looked toward her, she nodded at him to respond to his look .
“Young Master Jiang Chen, you seem to have done a lot of great things in the Three Middle Realms,” Chen Xi said .
“Why are we talking about this? Miss Chen Xi, you’ve just arrived in the Three Middle Realms . It’s normal that you don’t know what has happened . And we don’t have to bring them up now . What’s done is done . ”

Besides Jiang Zhe, there were a few other geniuses who were unhappy with Jiang Chen, since he had stolen their thunder . A youngster from the Spirit was especially unhappy with him . He was wearing clothes made of feathers . His long hair danced in the wind . His handsome face had clear-cut features . Like a spirit in the wind, his clothes were gently fluttering as if they could escape the influence of gravity . They looked light and spiritual .
“Wu Zhongming from the Wind Spirit,” Xia Yiming said in a low voice .
Jiang Chen touched his chin . This guy seemed strong to him .
And he was a Wind Spirit . Needless to say, he must be very fast . Jiang Chen could not help but desire to have a competition with him .
“Actually, I have a question that has been puzzling me for a long time, on which I would like to consult Miss Chen Xi . ” Someone changed the topic .
“Yes?” Chen Xi looked over with curiosity, wondering what the man was going to ask her .
“It is said that 500 years ago, the Elixir Saint from the Sacred Zone was a remarkable genius, and he even gave the Elixir Emperor instruction . However, if the Elixir Saint couldn’t practice, how did he manage to control fire?”
The man was genuinely curious about that . Glancing over the others, he put emphasis on the doubt he was most interested in . He said, “Because, you know, the high temperature during the refinement of heaven elixirs is enough to melt iron . ”
An average person would in no way be able to stand that heat – not to mention to refine elixirs .
It was obviously doubtful . However, not until he had brought it up did the others on the scene think about it seriously .
“It was 500 years ago . Maybe things were just different back then?”
“The Elixir Saint was titled the saint . He must have had something unusual, something average people didn’t have . ”
“One thing is for sure . The wonderful book written by the Elixir Saint has influenced all of the alchemists . ”
Some people were curious about it, while others were unhappy with his question . And the latter were all Heaven Alchemists . The Elixir Saint was their idol . He gave the Elixir Emperor instruction . No one should question him .
“Isn’t it weird? We are using the same way that he used to refine elixirs . Why didn’t the high temperature matter to him?” That man really wanted to get his puzzle solved . It was not that he did not respect the Elixir Saint . He was just curious .
Chen Xi listened to them arguing quietly . Then suddenly, looking toward Jiang Chen, she said, “Young Master Jiang Chen, what are your thoughts on it?”
Jiang Chen, enjoying the discussion, was surprised . He did not know whether this was just a coincidence .
“How would I be able to explain it? Miss Chen Xi, please resolve our puzzle,” Jiang Chen said, smiling .
“It’s actually not so complicated . Refining elixirs was much more dangerous 500 years ago than now . Many alchemists were burned to death back then,” Chen Xi said .
“So why… . ” The man who had posed the question got excited, as if he had been encouraged .
“Because the Elixir Saint used a different way . ”
Chen Xi interrupted him . She suddenly changed her mind when she was about to tell them the answer . Looking to the crowd, she said, “Why don’t you take a guess? I have a prize for the one whose guess is closest to the truth . ”
