The Sugar Mommy System: The Evil Young Master is Villain!!! - Chapter 157

Chapter 157: 2) The Alchemy contest
Days passed and as predicted, Bai Lung got grand-master level alchemy knowledge and he even got a natural dual Light-dark fire, a powerful fire that could greatly help him boost the quality of the alchemy pill.

And at the moment, he was thinking of making a grand entry at a small village named Elixira.

Just from the name alone, one can connect it to an elixir, it is said this land is blessed with good fertility and many alchemy plants grow here so it’s a village for alchemists.

Needless to say, a Saint-Level alchemist who had explored the world is now here to seek a successor.

Elixir

The bustling Alchemy Village of Elixira was alive with a cacophony of sounds and activity.

The village square, usually a peaceful heaven with the thick smell of alchemy had transformed into a hive of excitement and anticipation.

Stalls and tents lined the streets, each adorned with colorful banners and intricate symbols representing various alchemical sects and clans.

The air was thick with the aroma of rare herbs and the occasional waft of smoke from sizzling concoctions.

A large crowd had gathered around the grand Celestial Alchemy Pavilion, where the contest was set to unfold.

“Wow! I wonder who will win the alchemy contest!”

“Hmph! Gu Changgee from the Gu family is also here, I heard he has cultivated from childhood alone and hidden, I also heard his alchemy talented is highly gifted,”

“Gu Changgee? I heard he was mediocre… But it can be a lie too since he doesn’t appear more to the public, I heard everyone in his family respects him so, it’s most unlikely he is mediocre… Um!? I can’t say more, I have no words left,”

“Hmph! Multiple people from the capital and other places have come here… Gu Changgee!? He has no chance,”

“Indeed! I heard the holy son of Nirvana Alchemy is also participating… I heard he is about to enter Master-level alchemist at the age of 47, ”

( only raw age allowed. )

The voices of nameless and faceless spectators created a murmur of chatter and speculation.

News of the legendary Saint-level alchemist seeking a successor had drawn not only the crème de la crème of alchemy but also countless curious onlookers eager to witness history in the making.

“Fellow Daoists, seniors, and juniors!!! Esteemed alchemists welcome to the Celestial Alchemy Pavilion! Today marks the beginning of the grand contest where we will witness the trials of extraordinary alchemists. Only those who excel will be considered by the illustrious Saint-level alchemist for the esteemed position of successor!” one of the old men donned in fairy white clothes uttered, his voice enhanced by Qi.

Swoosh!

Swish!!

Suddenly the air began to swirl violently and space began

to ripple like water.

Just then, a magical, heavenly boat came out of rippling space like an in-game animation creating a strong impact.

“W-What is that?”

“That’s a grand boat… Who is such a person?”

The pressure emitted by Boat was so strong, that everyone was pushed to their knees as if some absolute powerhouse had entered the area.

The saint-level alchemist was no exception, he was also pushed to his knees.

‘An emperor domination aura? Such strong… Just who is this?’

Everyone was on their knees aside from one person and that was Gu Changgee.

[Ding! The system can’t hold the Emperor’s domination aura for a long time… ]

[Ding! After 30 seconds Host will face strong soul pressure, please be ready to face it… ]

[ 29 Seconds… ]

[ 28 seconds… ]

Gu Changgee heard it in his mind while his expression turned cold looking at the boat with great interest.

Suddenly 4 people descended from the boat, they were, Bai Lung, Saintess, Zhao Ling, and Saintess’s mother.

At the center of attention was none other than Bai Lung, his imposing presence accentuated by his high-end, extravagant attire—a flowing robe of deep crimson embroidered with gold thread. The fabric shimmered in the sunlight, making him an object of admiration and envy.

His aura was dark and enigmatic, setting him apart from the rest, and drawing whispers and furtive glances from those around him.

“Can you see that? The man in the crimson robe—he must be from one of the top sects. His aura is so intense; it’s like he’s shrouded in darkness and flame,”

“Y-Yes! Those clothes! They must have cost a fortune. I think he’s here to make a statement, not just compete…”

“I wonder what kind of alchemist he is. With such a mysterious presence, he could either be a formidable rival or just a showoff,”

Few kneeling people uttered.

Snap!

Bai Lung snapped his finger and the boat vanished, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Changgee was lucky as he was only a standing figure causing few people including a Saint-level alchemist to take notice of him.

At the moment, everyone was focused on only two people Gu Changgee and Bai Lung.

‘Oh! A villain with a system… How interesting!’ Bai Lung smiled mysteriously as Gu Changgee.

However, That damn smile, it left Gu Changgee excited, his lips curling up forming a menacing psychopathic smile.

It was clear it wasn’t a contest between multiple people but between Gu Changgee and Bai Lung.

Just like Bai Lung, Gu Changgee had come here to search for a protagonist but he once again met a villain protagonist.

Gu Changgee had an eternal despair tree and could swallow origin like Bai Lung so, he was eager to swallow the origin of Bai Lung.

At the same time, Bai Lung was equally interested in swallowing the origin of Gu Changgee.

Not to mention, if Gu Changgee devours Bai Lung his halo and powers would be greatly increased including the system level p while at the as time, Bai Lung could also increase the level of his system and gain multiple benefits from devouring Gu Changgee.

…

Fwoosh!

Once again, the space began to ripple and another boat came out from the void.

This time it was a royal boat, The crown Prince and Princess were here.

‘Hmm?’ Bai Lung’s eyes looked at his beautiful fiancee while her eyes went towards him too.

But the next moment her eyes turned narrow seeing three different women near him.

‘Hmph!’ her eyes turned red.

Her breathing grew ragged while her heart start pumping.

For a moment lt felt like a strong killing intent was released at the surrounding.

Qin Cheng!

Qin Cheng was born into the prestigious Royal Qin Family, renowned for its powerful and accomplished members.

Well, they are an imperial family so, it’s only logical for them to be famous.

However, from a young age, she was considered a disappointment.

Unlike her siblings and cousins, Qin Cheng displayed minimal talent in cultivation and alchemy, which was seen as a significant failing in a family where success and power were paramount. Her inability to cultivate effectively led to her being labeled as a ‘Talentless princess’ which left a strong persona on her mind.

Her childhood was basically surrounded by dark, as if the very sun had vanished.

During that time, when she was young, Bai Lung was Young too… Matter of fact way younger than her to the point where he used to call her sister.

Since their marriage agreement was set early on, and Bai Lung’s beautiful mother worked at the imperial court, Bai Lung and Qin Cheng met frequently.

…

It was a sunny day when the sun had a strong glow, and Bai Lung and Qin Cheng were in the garden at the Royal Palace playing ‘run and catch’

“Sister wait!!! I can’t catch you… Wait!”

During this time, Bai Lung was very weak as he was merely nine-years-old and his blood and soul were still healing.

Bai Lung was very weak, way weaker than a normal child.

While running after Qin Cheng who was all happy and smiling, they went towards the inner building.

And during this time, Bai Lung collided with a person and was instantly pushed back.

Bang!!!

Not only was Little Bai Lung pushed Back, the figure even kicked Bai Lung causing him to throw up some blood and pass out immediately.

Qin Cheng who at the time was somewhat mature since there was 10 years ago between them, had her eyes widened seeing Bai Lung like that.

She realized how fragile Bai Lung was… The only person in her life could also vanish at any moment.

“Y-You!? What have you done!?” She questioned the man in anger.

The man was none other than her brother, Prince Qin Zhao, who at the moment was crown prince.

She instantly went towards Bai Lung and checked his pulse, he was very warm at the moment and taking low breaths as if he could leave this world at any moment.

“Hurry up!!! Call healer…” She shouted but no one listened.

The Prince seeing this spitted on the ground, “You Trash… You must be feeling sad for that trash! Hmph! I hate weaklings like you…” The prince snorted while he looked at the person behind him who was minister.

Saying that, both prince and minister left.

Qin Cheng seeing no other option, carried Bai Lung and presented him before his mother.

Bai Lung’s mother seeing his condition like this was instantly angered while she immediately summoned a healer.

But the healer who arrived at the scene only shook his soul… “I am sorry, but Dao heart of Young master is greatly shaken, I fear, he might not be able to cultivate properly,” The healer said as Bai lung at the moment had a dark spirit embryo.

( Note; like mentioned previously his spirit root was taken. So, he now has spirit embryo as most kid have spirit embryo which develops into a spirit root. )

( Key Point: some kids are born with spirit root and don’t have to wait for it to develop and in order to cultivate one needs spirit root )
