The Elder Arrives
This remark left everyone speechless.
The alchemy method Ye Chen used was indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The spiritual power required for simultaneous refinement of medicinal materials was incredibly vast. This level of consumption would likely exhaust their spiritual power, causing them to faint in less than a quarter of an hour.
Helpless, everyone could only shut their mouths, abandoning their thoughts of stealing his techniques.
Seeing the opportune moment, Ye Chen asked, “I wonder if there is a courtyard called Emerald Pavilion in Guyun City?”
The person Ye Chen was looking for was naturally in the Emerald Pavilion.
“Huh? Mr. Ye, what are you looking for the Emerald Pavilion for? That’s where servant disciples live. Normally, we rarely go there.”
“That’s right, some mortals among the newly arrived disciples who lack talent are usually assigned there after basic training.”
Everyone explained one after another; they were now exceptionally enthusiastic towards Ye Chen.
Emerald Pavilion, like Fire Hall, was just one among the countless courtyards, large and small, in Guyun City.
It was the presence of so many courtyards that formed the vast machinery of Guyun City.
Besides this, Ye Chen also learned a fair bit about Guyun City, including the Gu Family.
The Gu Family, this behemoth, was not limited to Guyun City; it also controlled eight other cities. In the Wild Domain, it would be comparable to a dynasty, but in Central Continent, it was merely a family.
After a brief understanding, Ye Chen now had a certain understanding of Guyun City, and even Central Continent, no longer like a fly without a head, running around aimlessly.
Shortly after, three figures appeared silently in the hall. Their speed was extremely fast and silent. By the time Ye Chen noticed the movement, they had already quietly appeared.
How strong!
This was Ye Chen’s first thought.
One of the three was Xiao Feng, who had left earlier. As for the other two, one looked somewhat similar to Xiao Feng, and the other was completely unfamiliar to Ye Chen.
That person’s strength had reached Void Realm Sixth Level, and his spiritual power was extremely abundant. His combat strength was definitely not as simple as his realm indicated.
“Wow! Even Second Elder and Third Elder have come? This is quite an honor!”
“Greetings, Elders!”
Everyone bowed and clasped their hands, respectfully paying homage to the two old men.
On ordinary days, even wanting to see such figures would be impossible. Who could have imagined that today, because of Ye Chen, the two Elders would personally come.
They had certainly benefited from this.
“Little Friend Ye.”
Xiao Feng walked over with a smile, quickly introducing the other two to Ye Chen.
The one who looked somewhat like Xiao Feng was naturally Xiao Feng’s Big Brother, Xiao Ling.
The other, Third Elder, was Wei Tianyi from the Gu Family’s main branch.
“Junior Ye Chen, greets both Seniors!”
Ye Chen also respectfully bowed his hands; he understood this etiquette.
However, Wei Tianyi seemed dissatisfied with Ye Chen’s bow, snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
“Is this what you call a bow? Has no one ever taught you the proper etiquette when meeting your seniors?”
As soon as his voice fell, Ye Chen frowned, instantly feeling a thousand-pound force pressing down on him, making it difficult to breathe.
Although Ye Chen relied on his strong physique to withstand the first wave, the subsequent force increased bit by bit, intending to force Ye Chen to kneel.
Everyone could see that Wei Tianyi was trying to give Ye Chen a warning, and this was because Ye Chen was arrogant.
No matter what, this was Central Continent, not the Wild Domain where Ye Chen came from. Here, Ye Chen had to behave himself!
“Old Three, what are you doing?” Xiao Ling frowned, quickly extending a finger to stop Wei Tianyi.
However, Wei Tianyi was faster, effortlessly blocking the attack. He coldly snorted, “Hmph! You dare to be arrogant with such trifling Dao, refusing to kneel and pay respects? This is sacrilege!”
“Since his family elders didn’t teach him, let me teach him what etiquette is, so he doesn’t cause trouble in the future!”
Wei Tianyi spoke eloquently, as if he was completely justified, with no intention of stopping.
Hearing this, Ye Chen also became angry. He had shown proper respect, yet someone would treat him like this upon meeting?
“Old Man, I respect you and call you Senior, but if I don’t respect you, you’re nothing!”
“How I show my respect is none of your business!”
Ye Chen was also furious, speaking coldly.
“Heh, it seems you’re very defiant! You think you can disregard your elders just because of some minor alchemy skills? Do you think Guyun City is that broken Wild Domain?”
Wei Tianyi snorted coldly, his eyes filled with coldness, clearly intending to continue his heavy-handed approach.
Fortunately, Xiao Ling intervened in time, completely stopping the commotion. He glared at Wei Tianyi.
“Enough, when will you stop this?”
At this remark, Wei Tianyi finally stopped. He could see that Xiao Ling was angry, and continuing would only hurt their harmony.
It wasn’t worth it for a young upstart.
“This little friend, Old Three has such a temper. He always likes to put on airs, influenced by his duty. Don’t take it to heart.”
After reprimanding Wei Tianyi, Xiao Ling turned to Ye Chen and said with a smile.
“Xiao Ling, is it necessary to explain to this kid? If he really has the ability, let him show it to me. What’s the use of just talking?”
Clearly, Wei Tianyi had a violent temper. Hearing Xiao Ling’s words, he immediately became unhappy.
“This kid can refine First Class Qi Replenishing Pills, right? Let him refine one in front of us. If he really succeeds, I will naturally say no more!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen understood. Even after refining two Qi Replenishing Pills, they still didn’t believe him, and found two Experts to test his ability?
“Third Elder, just listen to my brother. Control your temper. If it doesn’t work, just step back for a moment.”
Xiao Feng couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up.
“Hmph, refining a First Class Qi Replenishing Pill using a bunch of ordinary medicinal materials? Tell that to anyone, and see how many will believe it!”
Wei Tianyi raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing Ye Chen could do it.
“Fine, I’ll go now. I don’t want to be tricked by this kid and waste my time.”
Having said that, Wei Tianyi got up and left without any hesitation.
“Big Brother, haven’t you always been at odds with this guy? Why did you appear together today?” Xiao Feng turned his head, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Today, he only intended to invite Xiao Ling. Who would have thought that Wei Tianyi happened to be there, leading to the previous scene.
