I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

The survivors were stunned…

Talking zombies! Thinking zombies!

It was no wonder that the battles with the zombies had become so much more difficult recently…

The zombie race was also advancing with the times!

Then, when they glanced back, the fleeing survivors and zombies discovered that the skyscraper where they had just been had already been turned into a ruin.

Seeing this scene, both the zombies and the survivors heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had made the right decision to escape, otherwise they would also be buried in the ruin!

They watched as Wang Mang’s huge body gradually disappeared into the distance, after which the zombies and survivors once again started fighting.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed, and Wang Mang had covered the entirety of the White Empire, at least in terms of cities.

Although there were still many survivors or zombies active, every major city had indeed been turned into ruins. It was unknown as to how many survivors and zombies he had killed. Not that it mattered…

Everyone was a victim of Wang Mang’s wanton destruction.

Looking at the ruined land below, Wang Mang left in satisfaction.

Half an hour later, just before nightfall.

Wang Mang returned to the vicinity of Guardian Beast City. However, he did not enter, and instead activated the multicolored teleportation stone and disappeared from Earth.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in the Sage Emperor Continent.

After leaving the cave, Wang Mang made his way to the Sacred Emperor Academy. He was here this time to seek further development.

If possible, Wang Mang wanted to join the alchemist circle and learn from them. After all, he was now a Tier 1 alchemist, and needed to get to Tier 4 for his mission.

He would no longer be able to do it alone, as the process of learning by himself would take too long, even with the help of the system. Therefore, he needed a master or teacher.

As he traveled, he pondered the matter and how to go about it. Eventually, he arrived at the back entrance of the Sacred Emperor Academy.

There were still many stalls and vendors on both sides of the bustling street, and seniors and juniors came and went. As he was about to step into the academy grounds, a familiar voice called out to him.

“Junior! Come and play!”

Wang Mang did not even need to turn his head to know that it was definitely Smiling Buddha. He thought of refusing, but suddenly realized that he could ask the latter for information.

Thinking this, Wang Mang walked over to Smiling Buddha’s stall, who looked at him with a smile. “Try your luck, maybe?”

Wang Mang thought for a moment and nodded.

“Senior, can I ask you a question?”

“Oh? What is it? Junior, ask away!”

Smiling Buddha was a little surprised, but he still nodded and agreed.

After all, Wang Mang was considered a regular customer here, and had bought immortal source stones quite a few times. He had also brought a fair bit of business to the stall.

“Senior, how can 1 join the alchemist circle?” Wang Mang asked softly after thinking for a moment.

“You want to become an alchemist? Do you want to learn alchemy?”

Smiling Buddha looked at Wang Mang in surprise.

“That’s right. Senior, do you have any suggestions?”

Smiling Buddha frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, “You can go take a look at the alchemy area.”

“If an alchemist takes a fancy to you and thinks that you have the talent, you can become the alchemist’s apprentice.”

“If you want a recommendation, I can’t give you one. I don’t have any pull or sway over those powerful alchemists.”

“Let me tell you something. Alchemists are all arrogant and have the highest status among the four professions!”

“Artifact refining, talisman mastery, and formation mastery; these three professions are all lower in status than alchemy. Furthermore, high-tier Alchemists don’t recruit ordinary apprentices.”

“For example, if a Tier 4 alchemist were to recruit a disciple, Tier 3 alchemists would all fight to become their disciple. The situation is the same for higher and lower tier alchemists.”

After hearing Smiling Buddha’s words, Wang Mang fell into deep thought.

It was obvious that becoming a high-tier alchemist was harder than Wang Mang had imagined.

“If it’s possible, find a way to apprentice yourself to a Tier 1 alchemist. When you can refine ten types of Tier 1 pills, then you can take the examination. After you pass, you will also be a Tier 1 alchemist.”

Hearing this, Wang Mang nodded slightly. He had a rough idea of what he needed to do. It seemed that becoming the disciple of a high-tier alchemist was a lot harder than he thought.

At the very least, he now knew that he had to master the refining process for seven more Tier 1 pills, after which he would be able to take the examination and become recognized as a Tier 1 alchemist.

“Alright, Junior, I’ve told you what 1 know, so don’t forget to reciprocate,” Smiling Buddha reminded him with a smile.

Wang Mang did not waste any time. He took out 1,000 immortal stones and said, “Senior, help me pick out a random immortal source stone!”

Smiling Buddha casually picked a blue stone the size of a pot lid and handed it to Wang Mang.

“Here you go! Junior, open it and take a look?”

Wang Mang did not hesitate to slam his palm onto the stone.

Bang!

However, the stone still did not shatter. Seeing this, Wang Mang could not help but laugh. On the contrary, Smiling Buddha stopped smiling.

F*ck! No way!

Could it be that this guy was going to get something good again?

Why did he always end up choosing good stuff for this fellow?

Honestly, he had tried picking out a few immortal source stones for himself, but he had never gotten anything good.

While Smiling Buddha was debating his involvement in this matter, Wang Mang slammed his palm into the stone again, shattering it.

A dark blue jewel-like stone appeared, shining brightly.

Smiling Buddha’s mouth twitched.

At the same time, Wang Mang, who had just asked the system about the value of the jewel-like stone in his mind, smiled widely.

“Senior? Do you want this aqua crystal?”

Smiling Buddha forced a smile onto his face.

“This should be worth around 40,000 immortal stones!”

Hearing this, Wang Mang nodded with satisfaction and said, “It’s yours for that price then, Senior!”

“Here are 40,000 immortal stones!”

As he spoke, Smiling Buddha waved his hand and took out 40,000 immortal stones.

Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction after accepting it and handed the jewel-like stone to Smiling Buddha. He then hummed a little tune as he prepared to enter the academy grounds.

However, when he saw two figures walking toward him, he was taken aback. He recognized one of them!

It was Tong Xin, who he had almost scammed back then!

As for the other person, she was dressed in a white robe and her face was as cold as ice.

The moment Tong Xin spotted Wang Mang, her eyes were filled with anger.

She pointed at Wang Mang with her finger and gritted her teeth angrily.

“Big Sister, it’s him! It was this liar who bullied me last time!”

Wang Mang’s heart tightened.

F*ck! How could he encounter trouble now?

Was this not too much of a coincidence? He had just returned here!

Especially when he saw the peerless beauty in white beside the little girl.

Wang Mang was on the verge of collapse, and his heart filled with panic.

Why?

It was because he saw a tag on her collar that identified her as one of the academy’s instructors!

Furthermore, this person was a Tier 5 alchemist!
