I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

2012 Chu Yunfan Becomes a Marquis? Everyone Is Convinced!

It was different from the last time he came to the capital to report on his work. The last time Chu Yunfan came to the Imperial Capital, there was no commotion. At that time, he was just an ordinary young prodigy. He wasn’t even ranked on the Prodigy List. Except for certain circles, most people were not interested in Chu Yunfan.

However, this time, when Chu Yunfan entered the capital to report on his work, the news of his arrival spread throughout the Imperial Capital. Especially these few days, he was in the limelight. After the Prodigy List was updated, Chu Yunfan became number one on the Prodigy List. Just as everyone was still wondering how Chu Yunfan could become the number one on the Prodigy List, a piece of news came.

Chu Yunfan had killed Li Qianyuan, the original number one on the Prodigy List!

For a time, the world was in an uproar. Even a place like the Imperial Capital, which everyone was proud of, was shocked by Chu Yunfan’s astonishing battle results. And as time passed, more news came. Chu Yunfan had done far more than just killing Li Qianyuan. He successfully killed all the major forces in the encirclement. Even the previous prodigy of the Li clan died at Chu Yunfan’s hands.

As the saying went, no one heard of studying hard, but the world knew of one’s brilliant feat! This was especially true when Chu Yunfan was conferred the title of Marquis Zhenyuan. According to the usual practice of Grand Xia, such a major event as the title of Marquis had to be announced publicly. How much merit did this person have to make before he could be conferred the title of Marquis?

This was the ironclad rule left behind by the Grand Xia’s ancestor. No marquis could be conferred without meritorious service. Even those who came from great clans or sects had to have real contributions if they wanted to be conferred the title of Marquis.

Chu Yunfan’s qualifications were exposed, and for a time, countless people were blinded. The experts he killed and captured were related to the demons, the marine folks, the demonic path, and other mortal enemies of Grand Xia. There were so many names that they couldn’t be written on a single piece of paper. Every single name on it was once famous throughout the world. To the citizens of Grand Xia, it could be said that Chu Yunfan had a huge debt of blood on his hands. It was unknown how much blood he had on his hands.

When Li Qianyuan was conferred the title of marquis, he relied on his elite troops and the help of his family’s protectors to kill a few Creators. He was conferred the title of Marquis Huntian because of his meritorious service. Although the contribution was enough, it was only barely enough to reach the standard. It was enough for ordinary people to become marquis. However, Li Qianyuan was the number one person on the Prodigy List. Such contributions could only be said to be barely qualified.

However, under the protection of the Li clan and the Crown Prince, no one dared to jump out and say that it was wrong. After all, Li Qianyuan had reached the minimum standard of being a marquis. After all, everyone knew that it was the will of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince himself could not show up, but he needed Li Qianyuan to recruit talents and win over the hearts of the people.

Chu Yunfan was different. He was the only two-word marquis after Li Qianyuan. Although he had the help of the Flying Celestials, the names on his kill list were real. This was especially true as many of them were at the seventh level of the Creation Stage and peak Creation Stage. Any one of these experts appearing on the battlefield could cause a huge change in the situation. Any one of them appearing on the mainland of Grand Xia could affect the Imperial Court.

After this series of names were announced, no one doubted Chu Yunfan’s qualifications. After all, this kind of battle merit could be said to have exceeded 90% of the veteran officials. If no one had seen Chu Yunfan’s first battle with the demons and Demon God Sect, then in the battle on the Eastern Sea, Chu Yunfan had single-handedly massacred all the experts from the various forces who had surrounded him. Just the gains from that battle alone were enough to make Chu Yunfan a marquis.

Among these voices, there were naturally some who doubted Chu Yunfan. The Godly Sabers also belonged to Grand Xia, not to mention Li Qianyuan and Li Weiyuan, who were the best of the younger generation. Now, they were all killed by Chu Yunfan. This made many people doubt that Chu Yunfan, who had attacked his own people, did not have the right to be conferred the title of marquis. It was already good enough that he was not punished.

However, this statement was not valid. After all, not everyone was a fool. Everyone understood that Chu Yunfan had killed Li Qianyuan on stage openly, which was allowed by the rules. After that, Li Weiyuan joined forces with the demonic cults and outsiders to attack Chu Yunfan. It was fine if Li Weiyuan was dead now, but if he was still alive, many officials would probably make trouble. This had crossed the bottom line in many people’s hearts.

Even Chu Yunfan did not expect that his matter had long been known in the Imperial Capital. The moment he arrived at the Imperial Capital through the teleportation portal, he could feel that the Luck Dragon entrenched above the Imperial Capital was even larger and more terrifying.

It was not that the Luck Dragon had become stronger in such a short time, but that his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. In the Imperial Capital, the higher one’s cultivation was, the more one would be suppressed by this Luck Dragon. If demonic experts dared to come to the Imperial Capital, they would probably be defeated by the Luck Dragon and have a decline in their cultivation. On the other hand, ordinary people would be fine. They could not even sense the existence of the Luck Dragon.

Chu Yunfan’s cultivation level had improved, so he could naturally sense the existence of the Luck Dragon. That huge Luck Dragon was entrenched above the Imperial Capital, and its four sharp claws were grabbing at the four corners of the Imperial Capital. The huge dragon head was patrolling in all directions as if it was resisting some extraordinary existence.

Chu Yunfan had the seal of Marquis Zhenyuan issued by Grand Xia. In the next moment, the seal emitted a faint golden light, and the pressure of the Luck Dragon that was originally crushing down disappeared without a trace. Chu Yunfan then discovered that the seal issued by Grand Xia had such a function. However, as a noble in Grand Xia’s system, Chu Yunfan and Grand Xia naturally shared glory and humiliation. It was normal for the Luck Dragon to treat him as one of its own.

Under the guidance of the officials who had come to receive him, Chu Yunfan arrived at the Imperial Palace of Grand Xia for the first time. At a glance, the walls of the Imperial Palace were hundreds of feet high, reaching straight into the clouds. There were carved dragons and painted pillars, and it was dazzling. It gave off a terrifying aura.

With just a slight sense, Chu Yunfan could sense that there were terrifying auras like coiling dragons entrenched in the Imperial Palace. He did not know how many experts there were. There were countless of them. This was the place with the densest number of experts in the world.
