Moreover, this grandmaster token also could not be used after snatching it!
Therefore, even though there were a hundred disbeliefs in his heart, Qin Chong still did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said helplessly, “I just wanted to enter the city, but they insisted that I was swindling people. Uh … can I go in now?”
Qin Chong hurriedly nodded and said, “Of course, of course! All the grandmaster residences have already been arranged. This lowly one will lead the way for you!”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and followed after.
Ning Siyu was delighted in her heart when she saw the expressions of Zheng Buqun and the rest.
“You bunch of guys don’t even recognize the grandmaster token and you dare to flaunt your prowess here. I can only say that you’re ignorant! You all mocked my lord, but you don’t know that you were the most laughable! Your levels are too far apart!”
Finished talking, Ning Siyu caught up with Ye Yuan, leaving behind the dumbfounded crowd.
Zheng Buqun still had a look of disbelief until now as he muttered, “That is a grandmaster token? This … How is this possible?”
The youth surnamed Duan had an expression like he had seen a ghost as he said, “A Third Firmament True God grandmaster? This … Is there a mistake?”
…
The grandmaster residence was grand and magnificent, flushed with spiritual energy. It was absolutely in a favorable geographical location.
The residence was built around a lake. In the middle was a miniature lake.
Qin Chong carefully led Ye Yuan into the Danfeng Court and settled him down.
Seeing Qin Chong wanting to speak but swallowing the words back, Ye Yuan said cooly, “Just ask whatever you want to ask. Why are you, a seven-foot-tall burly man, behaving like a woman?”
Qin Chong smiled ostentatiously and said, “I wonder which city lord Master Ye received the invitation from?”
Qin Chong naturally knew the seven great Empyreans. Ye Yuan was clearly not one of them. Then he could only be invited by one of the Empyreans.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “This Ye was invited by Empyrean Flutterfeather.”
Qin Chong’s gaze turned intent, and he said in surprise, “Empyrean Flutterfeather?”
Ye Yuan said curiously, “Why? Is there anything wrong?”
Qin Chong hurriedly smiled flatteringly and said, “N-Nothing wrong.”
Although he had a fiery temperament, he was also not so superficial when conducting himself. It was truly that Ye Yuan’s grandmaster token was too surprising.
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, “Do you feel that I’m easy to hoodwink because I’m young?”
Qin Chong’s expression changed, being aware that he could not deceive him anymore. He could only smile bitterly. He said, “H-How can it be? In the past, Empyrean Flutterfeather would always invite the Myriad Treasure Tower’s Empyrean Purplewing over. I didn’t expect that … he actually invited Master Ye this time?”
Ye Yuan’s brows could not help furrowing when he heard it and started musing.
Previously when he agreed to Empyrean Flutterfeather, he forgot that there was such a thing.
Since each city lord had another grandmaster spot, then it would definitely be existences that were about the same as them in the past!
Now that this spot was given to him, wouldn’t he have offended another grandmaster?
Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan could not help feeling a headache.
Empyrean Flutterfeather gave him an extremely high status, but Empyrean Flutterfeather also put him on the fire to roast.
By the side, Qin Chong’s thoughts drifted, speculating Ye Yuan’s identity.
Could it be that this Ye Yuan came from the Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma and was a newly emerged genius junior of Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma?
Coming to the Cloudpill Summit this time was likely to come and experience it.
It was just that giving him a grandmaster token was a little too extravagant, right?
For Ye Yuan’s bit of strength to really want to experience things, wouldn’t putting him in the disciples’ generation to spar with those people be more meaningful?
Thinking about it, Qin Chong also felt that something was not right.
Ye Yuan’s martial arts strength was extremely strong. Jumping realms to battle was nothing difficult. Then how strong could his alchemy strength be?
This place was the Cloudpill Summit and not the Martial Dao Summit.
Thinking up to here, Qin Chong became even more disdainful toward Ye Yuan in his heart.
Alright! You, a martial arts powerhouse, came to the Cloudpill Summit to pass off as a grandmaster!
When the time comes, you’ll be embarrassed.
He was practically certain that Ye Yuan was the kind of profligate descendant who was conceited and insolent on account of his ability.
He stayed for a long time in the Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda and came out to look for fun. Qin Chong also saw that he even brought along a beautiful maidservant by his side.
Of course, he could only put these thoughts in his heart and naturally would not say it out.
“Alright, you can go. Oh, right! She’s called Ning Siyu. Help her arrange a bit for her to take part in the Cloudpill Summit,” Ye Yuan said.
“Yes, Your Excellency.” Qin Chong was unable to make head or tail of it, but still answered and left.
Could it be that this kid came to take part in the Cloudpill Summit for this lass?
Occupying a grandmaster spot for a mere Five-star Alchemy God, truly capricious!
…
A Third Firmament True God grandmaster spread in the inner-city very quickly.
Beyond the shock, there was even more indignance.
What capability did a mere Third Firmament True God have, to actually be able to get a grandmaster token?
One had to know, Six-star Alchemy Gods could be easily found in the city. Many were young and promising genius figures. There were also peak Six-star Alchemy Gods that enjoyed high prestige and commanded universal respect.
Which of these people were not stronger than Ye Yuan?
Especially when everyone knew that Ye Yuan was merely a thousand over years old. Furthermore, after knowing that his martial arts were rather impressive, this indignant feeling spread even more.
At this time, seven to eight alchemy geniuses were currently gathered in a restaurant discussing this matter.
“Brother Yun Yi, you aren’t aware, but that kid is really arrogant to the extreme, saying that he’s what number one alchemy genius! To talk about this number one alchemy genius, it can only be Brother Yun Yi!” The one talking was precisely Zheng Buqun.
Ever since learning that Ye Yuan had a grandmaster token in his possession, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.
How could a mere Third Firmament True God be worthy of the grandmaster token?
Ye Yuan ‘uttered wild ravings’ and completely did not put his Zheng Family in his sights at all.
He could not swallow this insult.
It was just that Ye Yuan had a grandmaster token in his hand, so he had to swallow it even if he did not want to.
But just because he could not do anything to Ye Yuan, it did not mean that others could not as well.
Yun Yi was a genius alchemist of this Cloudpill Summit, one of the extremely few geniuses who broke through to Dao Realm in this Cloudpill Summit.
Barring no accidents, the champion crowned in the Cloudpill Summit this time would be born from these few Dao Realm powerhouses.
Furthermore, this Yun Yi’s identity was special. He was Empyrean Pilljade’s great-grandson, possessing an extremely exalted status even in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.
With him around, wouldn’t dragging that conceited brat down the horse be easily accomplished?
At the very least, Yun Yi could make him lose all standing and reputation, and leave Cloudp
ill Great Imperial Capital dusty and dirty in appearance.
Chapter 2021. Challenging in Public |
“Number one alchemy genius? Huhu, what high-sounding sentiments. At his age, even if he started refining pills in his mother’s womb, his accomplishments will also be limited, right? Let alone that I heard that his martial arts are very formidable,” Yun Yi said with a disdainful look.
“Yeah, I saw with my own eyes. He sent the Fifth Firmament True God Commander Gan flying with one move,” Zheng Buqun said.
Yun Yi could not help laughing when he heard that and said, “If I didn’t guess wrongly, he’s probably a martial genius that came from Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma, carrying Empyrean Flutterfeather’s signboard and coming to Cloudpill Summit to bluff and swindle people. It’s just a shame that he made the wrong calculations!”
The moment Zheng Buqun heard, his face could not help revealing a look of great joy as he said, “Is Brother Yun Yi taking action?”
Yun Yi waved his hand and said, “Do you think that the Cloudpill Summit’s grandmaster tokens are all for show? As long as one comes with a grandmaster token, those are all the Cloudpill Summit’s most noble guests. We must treat them with courtesy.”
Hearing this, everyone had disappointed looks.
Those present were all alchemy geniuses, so how could they stand a martial arts genius riding on top of their heads and flaunting his prowess?
Moreover, slapping the face of a grandmaster was also something very delightful.
But him holding a grandmaster token was like holding an imperial sword; you could not do anything about it!
“Brother Yun Yi, could it be that there’s no other way?”
“Yeah, a little brat also dares proclaim to be the number one alchemy genius, is his hair fully grown?”
“Could it be that at this Cloudpill Summit, we have to keep on watching him continue to be arrogant?”
…
The alchemy geniuses present were all filled with righteous indignation, faces revealing indignant expressions.
But they saw Yun Yi’s face reveal a hint of a ruminating smile and said coolly, “My Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital is the number one holy land of the Southern Border Alchemy Dao. How can we allow such a person to exist? So what if it’s the grandmaster token? People who hold a position without qualifications are absolutely not allowed to stay and humiliate the Cloudpill Summit.”
When everyone heard that, they all revealed knowing smiles.
…
What Empyrean Flutterfeather said was right. The Cloudpill Summit indeed did not let Ye Yuan down.
These few days, Ye Yuan brought Ning Siyu along and bought many rare rank six spirit medicines.
The places that Ye Yuan liked to shop the most were some big and small marketplaces.
At those places, one could frequently pick up some pretty good spirit medicines.
These marketplaces had every strange and peculiar thing. There were even quite a few obscure pill formulas.
Although the Myriad Treasure Tower’s power and influence were tremendous, they also could not get every single spirit medicine. This Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital gathered the entire Southern Border’s top alchemists. It naturally could not come into existence without people who came to do business.
With countless alchemy powerhouses gathering in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital, this kind of business opportunity naturally could not be missed.
At this time, Ye Yuan two people were currently strolling idly in the eastern-street marketplaces, but then they heard a wave of discussions.
“Did you guys hear? A True God Realm grandmaster actually came to the Cloudpill Summit this time. It already raised a huge uproar in the entire city.”
“What? Six-star Alchemy God grandmaster? You aren’t joking, right? This bit of strength can’t even compare to me. Yet, he e also dares to be a grandmaster?”
“Heh heh, I heard that he came from some Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda. It was probably applying pressure on the grandmasters through the Heavenly Emperor, and that’s how the grandmaster token was given.”
“This is also treating things too trivially! The Cloudpill Summit is the Southern Border’s grandest event. It’s also not what one or two Heavenly Emperors can influence!”
“Wait and see! The grandmaster token isn’t so easy to get! That punk will definitely make a big spectacle of himself when the time comes!”
…
Hearing everyone’s discussions, Ning Siyu used a peculiar expression to look at Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan was expressionless like they were not talking about him at all.
Ning Siyu sometimes suspected whether or not an old monster’s soul lived inside Ye Yuan’s body.
This guy was also too capable of keeping his cool.
“Your Excellency, if I were you, I’d show my skill for them to see. I’ll let them know that you’re worthy of this grandmaster token!” Ning Siyu said indignantly.
In reality, they could hear this sort of discussion everywhere these few days. He already became the greatest topic of conversation for the alchemists in the city.
There were even quite a number of people who put out the word that they wanted to challenge this grandmaster and trample him underfoot.
It was just that they did not know that that so-called Six-star grandmaster was beside them.
Clearly, this Six-star grandmaster already became the stepping stone for these Six-star Alchemy Gods to make a name for themselves.
One had to know, defeating a grandmaster, what sublime glory that would be!
Ye Yuan just smiled. He did not speak.
Reaching his present realm, Ye Yuan had long already passed the time of seeking to prevail over others.
Those able to enter his arcane sights were only peak-existence big shots like Empyrean Flutterfeather.
Was there any meaning to contend with a bunch of rookies over this?
The two people were currently talking when a group of people suddenly rushed over in a haste, directly surrounding the two people in the middle.
Ning Siyu’s face changed and she said, “What do you guys want to do?”
A young man bowed in salute towards Ye Yuan and said, “I’m Qiannan Great Imperial Capital’s Luo Yue. I want to ask Grandmaster Ye to give a pointer or two.”
“I’m Eastpride’s Wu Family’s Wu Zhan. I have some confusion in alchemy and want to ask Grandmaster Ye to resolve them.”
“I’m …”
…
With a rush, these young geniuses all reported their backgrounds, all identifying Ye Yuan by name and making Ye Yuan give pointers.
Of course, giving pointers was fake, challenging was real.
It was just that Ye Yuan’s identity was exalted, so they could not very well say explicitly.
But their eyes did not have any intention of seeking guidance at all. The flavor of provocation was thick.
The actions of these young geniuses made the eastern-street marketplace burst into an uproar.
They all used extremely surprised gazes to look at Ye Yuan. They did not expect that he was that Six-star grandmaster!
“Goodness gracious, he’s that Six-star grandmaster? This is also too young! Looking at the age, he’s probably also just a thousand over years old, right?”
“Terrific lads! Every one of these young geniuses, all have deep backgrounds! Qiannan Great Imperial Capital, Wu Family, each one is an alchemy holy land. Behind them are all Seven-star Alchemy God existences.”
“Heh heh, there’s a good show to watch now! I’m really very curious what this lad relied on to get the grandmaster token!”
…
After exclaiming, everyone all had gloating expressions.
Especially after seeing Ye Yuan’s age, they were even more indignant and discontented. This kind of age, how could he be worthy of the grandmaster token?
They did not feel that they were worthy of the grandmaster token. But past grandmasters were all god-like
figures. Ye Yuan holding this token, they felt that it sullied its meaning.
There were likely 20 over young geniuses present. They were all Six-star Alchemy Gods.
Ye Yuan swept through with an amused look and said smilingly, “You all … want to challenge me?”
Luo Yue smiled coldly and said, “Since Grandmaster Ye took the grandmaster token, then you’re naturally a heavenly figure. It’s just … don’t know if you dare to accept our challenge or not?”
Luo Yue was intentionally using the grandmaster token to force Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan dared to avoid the battle in broad daylight, they want to see what face he still has to use the grandmaster token to bluff people.
Ye Yuan’s expression did not change as he said coolly, “You already said that I’m a heavenly figure. How are you all, these mortals … worthy of challenging me?”
Luo Yue laughed loudly when he heard that and said, “You really went along with it! You don’t even dare to accept our challenge, don’t you find it scalding to hold the grandmaster token?”
Ye Yuan’s face was not red and his heart did not race as he said coolly, “It’s also not that you guys can’t challenge me, but …”
The eyes of Luo Ye and the rest lit up, revealing smiles of their plan succeeding.
Chapter 2022. It's You All Challenging Her! |
Luo Ye’s eyes lit up and he asked, “But what?”
But Ye Yuan’s gaze turned to Ning Siyu and the other people’s gazes followed his gaze and also landed on Ning Siyu.
Smart people already guessed Ye Yuan’s intention and could not help getting a big shock.
Sure enough, it was only to hear Ye Yuan slowly saying, “You have to beat her first.”
Ning Siyu looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief and used her finger to point at herself as she said, “M-Me?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Right, it’s you!”
Ning Siyu jumped up like a rabbit that got a scare and repeatedly waved her hands and said, “No way, no way! Your Excellency, I can’t do it! I … I will lose face for you!”
Ning Siyu was filled with confidence in Ye Yuan, but her confidence in herself was not that strong.
