"You think you can attend Deputy Pavilion Master Yuan’s birthday banquet? I think you’re dreaming, right? Let alone alchemists like us who are off the beaten path, even disciples within the Alchemy Pavilion’s headquarters can’t all attend."
"Sigh, that’s true. This ti, the Heavenly Profound Grand Convention is hosting the Four Masters Battle, which might be a great opportunity for us rogue alchemists. I’ve already passed the preliminary selection. It’s said that if you make it into the top fifty, you can directly beco a core disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion headquarters."
...
After Ye Chenfeng learned that today happened to be Yuan Kun’s birthday, he knew he definitely couldn’t go empty-handed and had to prepare a gift that would satisfy Yuan Kun. This was also a way to repay him.
As a Seventh Rank Alchemist, Yuan Kun was, of course, most interested in alchemy.
So Ye Chenfeng pondered whether he should give Yuan Kun an Ancient Pill Prescription. He had many such prescriptions in his mind, and taking out any one of them should be enough to excite any alchemist.
After deciding on the gift.
By casually asking around dicinal Spirit City, Ye Chenfeng found out the location of Yuan’s residence.
There are three Deputy Pavilion Masters in the Alchemy Pavilion headquarters, and each has their own exclusive residence in dicinal Spirit City.
Yuan Kun’s birthday banquet is held at noon.
It’s about ti to head to Yuan’s residence now, given the enormous size of dicinal Spirit City. It would take a while to reach the entrance of Yuan’s residence!
Ye Chenfeng raced all the way.
The streets of dicinal Spirit City were filled with pharmacies, each cramd with people. After all, to make breakthroughs in alchemy, one must continuously refine, and through repeated failures, find the key to success. Most alchemists relied on piles of Spirit Grass.
One hour later.
Ye Chenfeng arrived at his destination.
There was still so ti before Yuan Kun’s birthday banquet began!
So there weren’t many people coming and going at the entrance of Yuan’s residence. However, two Peak Spirit God Realm individuals were guarding the entrance, and anyone wanting to enter Yuan’s residence needed to present an invitation.
This was a bit troubleso for Ye Chenfeng since he didn’t have an invitation. The only option was to have the guards report his presence.
Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to head towards the main gate, he suddenly saw a comical-looking young man coming from the left. Wasn’t this Tian Xiaoguang, whom he t back at the Sea of Hell!
Back then, after leaving the seabed of the Sea of Hell with Yuan Kun and others, Tian Xiaoguang had quite the opportunity. He ultimately followed Yuan Kun and Yuan Jia to the Central Continent and beca Yuan Kun’s registered disciple.
Although just a registered disciple, it was like a pie falling from the sky for Tian Xiaoguang. However, he never forgot his ntor, Ye Chenfeng. Even though he hadn’t officially learned alchemy from Ye Chenfeng, he knew that much of the reason he got into the Alchemy Pavilion headquarters in Central Continent was because of Ye Chenfeng.
When he left the seabed of the Sea of Hell, Tian Xiaoguang even erected a tombstone for Ye Chenfeng.
Seeing the comical-looking Tian Xiaoguang, Ye Chenfeng smiled slightly. Instead of heading towards the main gate, he walked towards Tian Xiaoguang, who had his head bowed and didn’t imdiately see Ye Chenfeng.
When a figure blocked his path, Tian Xiaoguang looked up with anger on his face and snapped, "You bastards think Grandpa Tian is easy to push around? I..."
Upon seeing the faint smile on Ye Chenfeng’s face, Tian Xiaoguang’s voice caught in his throat, and he exclaid, "Big, Big Brother? ntor?"
Ye Chenfeng patted Tian Xiaoguang on the shoulder and said, "What? Don’t recognize ?"
As Tian Xiaoguang slowly regained his senses, his face displayed extre excitent, and he stamred, "ntor, it’s really you? You, you’re not dead? I thought I would never see you again, ntor. Back in the seabed of the Sea of Hell, if it weren’t for you, Ye Chenfeng, I would’ve died countless tis."
"I knew my ntor wouldn’t have any trouble. But how co you’re here, ntor?"
Ye Chenfeng could see Tian Xiaoguang’s genuine excitent and smiled, "You said you knew I’d be fine? Then who was it that erected a tombstone for in the seabed of the Sea of Hell?"
Tian Xiaoguang looked embarrassed, Ye Chenfeng continued, "Not bad, you’ve advanced from Initial Stage of the First Level Nirvana Realm to the Peak of the First Level Nirvana Realm. How’s your alchemist rank?"
Tian Xiaoguang scratched his head and said, "ntor, I’m still a First-Grade Alchemist, but I’m quite adept with many first-grade elixirs now. It won’t be long before I beco a Second-Grade Alchemist."
Ye Chenfeng nodded, "I was just passing through dicinal Spirit City, unexpectedly right on the day of Deputy Pavilion Master Yuan’s birthday, so I ca to pay a visit. But you need an invitation to enter Yuan’s residence."
Tian Xiaoguang said imdiately, "ntor, I have an invitation. You can co in with ."
As Ye Chenfeng and Tian Xiaoguang were about to head to Yuan’s residence, a voice dripping with sarcasm ca over, "Isn’t this our junior brother Tian Xiaoguang? The alchemist with the highest failure rate. You still have the face to attend Deputy Pavilion Master Yuan’s birthday banquet?"
Following the voice, two young n strolled over, one wearing a cyan robe spoke.
Tian Xiaoguang’s face turned sour instantly, and he said softly, "ntor, the one speaking is Zhang An, a disciple from the headquarters of the Alchemy Pavilion. He’s a Third-Rank Alchemist, and the other is Jiang Yuan, grandson of Deputy Pavilion Master Jiang from the headquarters, and he’s a Fifth-Rank Alchemist."
Upon hearing Tian Xiaoguang say Jiang Yuan is a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, Ye Chenfeng glanced at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan wore a white robe and held a folding fan, exuding an air of arrogance from his bones.
Tian Xiaoguang continued in a low voice, "ntor, Zhang An is basically Jiang Yuan’s lapdog, always targeting . By the way, Jiang Yuan is one of Senior Sister Yuan Jia’s suitors. His arrogant deanor is sothing only you, ntor, are a match for Senior Sister Yuan Jia. Since thinking you were dead, Senior Sister Yuan Jia hasn’t been eating or drinking properly."
As Tian Xiaoguang spoke softly, Jiang Yuan and Zhang An had already approached. Jiang Yuan looked indifferent, as if Ye Chenfeng and Tian Xiaoguang were re bugs in his eyes.
Zhang An glanced at Ye Chenfeng and then said coldly, "Tian Xiaoguang, this person shouldn’t be from our Alchemy Pavilion headquarters, should they? Where did you pick up such dubious people? Your invitation only allows you to enter Yuan’s residence alone. Tell this person to get lost."
Zhang An was extrely displeased with Tian Xiaoguang, as he himself wasn’t even qualified to beco a registered disciple of the Deputy Pavilion Master. So why should a failure like Tian Xiaoguang? He always harbored resentnt and targeted Tian Xiaoguang whenever possible.
Ye Chenfeng glanced at Zhang An and said calmly, "I’m afraid you don’t have the authority to make leave!"
As Zhang An incredulously was about to get angry, a girl in a purple silk outfit appeared at the main gate.
Her eyes fixed on Ye Chenfeng.
This person was Yuan Jia.
Seeing Yuan Jia appear, Jiang Yuan, a suitor, impatiently told Ye Chenfeng, "Get lost! You don’t belong here."
After her initial shock, Yuan Jia’s face filled with joy, and she shouted, "You two, get lost for !"
Zhang An thought she was talking to Ye Chenfeng and Tian Xiaoguang. He smugly said, "Tian Xiaoguang, did you hear that? You both can leave now."
Jiang Yuan was about to greet Yuan Jia, seeing her joyfully approach, and he directly walked towards her.
Being blocked, Yuan Jia frowned and said, "Jiang Yuan, didn’t I tell you to get lost? Why are you blocking ?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned.
Yuan Jia bypassed Jiang Yuan and ran towards Ye Chenfeng, throwing herself into his arms. She sobbed, "Brother Ye, is that you? Is it really you? Am I not dreaming?"
This...
Jiang Yuan and Zhang An’s eyes widened in disbelief, their eyeballs nearly falling out of their sockets.
