Chapter 431: Chief Honorary Elder!

Chapter 431: Chief Honorary Elder!

"Since this young friend, Ling Feng, has passed the assessment and refined a seventh-tier ancient medicinal pill with pill inscriptions, he indeed qualifies to be our Alchemist Guild's honorary president."

Hong Haotian took a deep breath, looked at Ling Feng, and nodded slightly.

He couldn't find any reason to refuse. Ling Feng's pill was refined successfully in one go, and the quality was astonishing.

Such alchemical prowess was on par, if not superior, to the president of the Alchemist Guild. No wonder Yan Cangtian claimed they were only learning from each other in alchemy.

Even Yan Cangtian needed to learn from Ling Feng, indicating how advanced his skills were!

Hearing Hong Haotian's words, Ling Feng merely shrugged. He had no real interest in the title of honorary president. All he wanted was the pill formula for the Demon-Transforming Pill to infiltrate the demon race's sacred land.

"President, please reconsider!"

At that moment, Elder Hua, the most senior member, slowly stepped forward and said, "President, this young man's alchemical skills are indeed remarkable, but he is young and lacks reputation and experience. Appointing him as honorary president might bring ridicule from the outside world!"

"Uh..." Hong Haotian frowned. Elder Hua's concern was not unfounded.

Although Ling Feng's alchemical prowess was impressive, who would believe it without witnessing it firsthand?

If outsiders learned that the Alchemist Guild had appointed such a young man as honorary president, they would mock the guild for lacking capable individuals.

Seeing Hong Haotian's hesitation, Yan Cangtian couldn't help but say, "Hong Haotian, this was the agreed condition. Are you going to go back on your word?"

"Honorary president is a significant position!" Elder Hua retorted. "Yan Cangtian, you never mentioned to the president that the alchemist you brought would be such a young boy!"

"So what if he's young? If you have the ability to refine a seventh-tier ancient medicinal pill with pill inscriptions, I'll leave immediately!"

"I—" Elder Hua was immediately at a loss for words, unable to even let out a fart.

Refining a seventh-tier pill with pill inscriptions was almost impossible for him, akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

"President Hong!" At that critical moment, Ling Feng suddenly spoke up. "I know my skills and experience are lacking, and I have no ambition for the honorary president position."

"Young friend Ling Feng, what do you mean?" Hong Haotian's eyes lit up. It would be ideal if Ling Feng is willing to give up the position.

"I don't need the honorary president title, but as Elder Yan mentioned, we are determined to get the pill formula for the Demon-Transforming Pill," Ling Feng said as he looked at Hong Haotian calmly.

To him, the honorary president title was meaningless. Only increasing his own strength was the true path.

"Of course," Hong Haotian nodded repeatedly. "Given your alchemical skills, you may be too young for the honorary president position, but being an honorary elder is more than fitting. I'll make you the chief honorary elder who enjoys the same benefits as an honorary president. How about that?"

Ling Feng pursed his lips. Even if he didn't become the honorary president, he would still enjoy the treatment of the honorary president. With such good conditions, there was no reason for him to disagree, so he immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, President!"

The elders around saw Ling Feng's potential and eagerly congratulated him.

"Elder Ling, congratulations!"

"Elder Ling, please guide us in the future!"

"Elder Ling, your alchemical skills are truly enviable!"

"..."

"Elder Ling!" At that moment, Vice-President He Taichong, who had previously lost face in the general's mansion, stepped forward and bowed deeply to Ling Feng. "Elder Ling, your harsh words woke me up. Indeed, there are always people better than yourself, and we old folks should not be complacent."

"Ah?"

"What happened?"

"Vice-President He already knew Elder Ling?"

The elders present were puzzled to see He Taichong bowing to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng looked at He Taichong while smiling slightly. He had noticed him long ago but didn't expect him to approach first.

With a raised eyebrow, Ling Feng shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about the past."

"Yes, yes, let's not. Hahahaha!" He Taichong laughed heartily, secretly grateful to Ling Feng for saving his face.

Such a young age and already so understanding of human nature. He’s truly remarkable!

"Vice-President He already knew Elder Ling?" Hong Haotian asked in surprise.

He Taichong smiled bitterly before saying, "Elder Ling's alchemical skills were recognized by Master Yun Danqing, who called him an alchemical genius!"

"Gulp..."

The elders swallowed hard. Even Master Yun called him an alchemical genius!
