Chapter 899 Goodbye, Friends
In the solemn tower, Chen Fan was walking in an azure robe. There were two stars on his chest, meaning that he was a level two alchemist, a superior Alchemy Master.
Many disciples and level one alchemists greeted Chen Fan, and a lot of young female alchemists blushed when they saw him.
Chen Fan also smiled and nodded.
The Alchemy Guild gathered all the top alchemists in the entire State of Ancient Medicine and the Beihuang Region. There were even quite a number of Grandmasters. However, most of the seniors were either practicing in the towers and rooms, or traveling around to collect Spirit Medicines. There weren’t a lot of young, handsome level two alchemists like Chen Fan.
Chen Fan entered the disciple area and saw a group of girls wearing black robes, walking over with some books. They all started discussing when they saw Chen Fan.
“It’s Alchemist Chen from the Medicine Inspection Institute!”
“People said that he’s really powerful. He became an Alchemy Master at a young age, but he lost to Situ Cheng at the Alchemy Guild Exam. Otherwise, he would have become a disciple of the Elixir Lord.”
“I’ve also heard about it.”
A girl then pushed one of them.
“Qiao Qiao, your brother is here.”
Qiao Qiao was also in the group of disciples. She smiled once she saw Chen Fan and ran to him immediately.
“Brother, are you going to the Danjing Pavilion today? I can come with you,” Qiao Qiao said with anticipation.
“I’m not going today. I’ve read all the books I needed to read. I’ll be taking you around the city and we can find a good restaurant to eat.” Chen Fan caressed the girl’s head with a smile.
Since Qiao Qiao was pretty talented, she had been chosen by the Alchemy Guild, later becoming a disciple of a level three alchemist. The elder from Donyang City had left; he asked Chen Fan to take care of Qiao Qiao.
Since Chen Fan was about to leave the Alchemy Guild to look for Heavenly Medicines and Divine Medicines around Planet Tianhuang, he had let Qiao Qiao know.
“That’s brilliant!”
Qiao Qiao gave a beaming smile.
Then, she waved goodbye at her friends and went around the city with Chen Fan. They even ate at an old restaurant and the girl stuffed herself silly.
Then, Chen Fan sent Qiao Qiao back and told her he was going traveling. Even though Qiao Qiao didn’t want him to leave, she didn’t think too much about it.
The next day.
Chen Fan went to the top of the tower.
The fiftieth floor and above had been designated for the elders, so ordinary members couldn’t enter. Two guards stopped Chen Fan when he arrived. While he frowned and was about to explain—
A voice was heard.
“Hm, Alchemist Chen, why are you here? Is everything okay?”
Chen Fan turned around and saw Wu Qinyan standing there in a white robe. Next to her was the Young Elixir Lord, Situ Cheng.
Situ Cheng had become more mature since the last time they met and his Immortal Will seemed to have become extremely powerful. He was expressionless when he saw Chen Fan, as if he were a stranger.
Indeed, what was a level two alchemist in the eyes of the Elixir Lord’s disciples?
“I’d like to see the Guild Master for a deal,” Chen Fan said calmly.
He was indeed there to trade. There were many Heavenly Medicines Chen Fan needed in the Alchemy Guild, but Chen Fan wasn’t a thief. If he could trade them peacefully, why would he have to rob them? Besides, Chen Fan could also offer the Alchemy Guild some peerless recipes and new techniques.
Hearing what Chen Fan said, Situ Cheng glanced at him with disdain.
The Guild Master was only under the command of Elixir Lord and was more superior than all the elders. Chen Fan was just a level two alchemist and he wanted to make a deal with the Guild Master. How arrogant was that?
Wu Qinyan frowned.
“Well, the Guild Master is meeting a guest. Why don’t you come with us and we’ll see if he has time to see you?”
“Great!”
Chen Fan nodded.
Situ Cheng was even more discontent about his attitude.
The three of them walked up and saw many level three alchemists and a few elders. There were only dozens of Alchemy Grandmasters in the Alchemy Guild and every one of them was as superior as a Sect Master. This showed how powerful the Alchemy Guild was and the Guild Master’s worth.
“An honorable guest came for medicine. The Guild Master is meeting him in person,” Wu Qinyan explained.
“OK.” Chen Fan nodded.
Wu Qinyan was apparently reminding him not to offend the guest. That was someone even the Guild Master had to respect.
“It’s Wang Xuanfeng, the Master of the Wang family. He’s one of the top elites of the younger generation of the family. He’s already become a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator in less than a century and he even has a superior-grade Golden Core. You must have heard of his brother, Wang Xuanlong, an elite on the Longevity Roll,” Situ Cheng also said, “When you get there, stay silent and just listen. Wang Xuanfeng is superior and complacent. If you offend him, not even the Guild Master will be able to help you.”
“Hm.”
This time, Chen Fan didn’t say anything.
Such an attitude made Situ Cheng a bit angry.
Even Wu Qinyan was shocked.
How famous was the Wang family of the Beihuang Region? It was the real historical family and they had a Heavenly Lord. Wang Xuanfeng was even one of the top descendants of the family, but Chen Fan didn’t even care about it? Was he ignorant or fearless?
“That’s strange. He used to be low-profile when I met him two weeks ago. Why does he seem like he doesn’t care about anything today?” Wu Qinyan frowned.
She had quite a good impression of Chen Fan, which was why she tried to talk to him several times. She even represented the Wu family and offered him help when he was lost. And yet, he had become so different after just two weeks and he didn’t even take Situ Cheng and the Wang family seriously.
“He’s either showing his true self or has become much more powerful, but how far can he go in just two weeks?” Thinking of this, Wu Qinyan was disappointed.
Chen Fan was like an upstart. Before he got into the Alchemy Guild, he was still hiding who he was. Once he became an Alchemy Master, his personality came out.
Wu Qinyan had met many people like this throughout her life.
Without determination and heart, nobody could go far on the journey of cultivation and alchemy. In comparison, going step by step like Situ Cheng made greater achievements.
“Nevermind.”
Wu Qinyan shook her head.
She became indifferent and didn’t talk to Chen Fan much.
Soon, they reached the top of the tower.
The top floor of the tower was a hundred miles large and it only belonged to the Guild Master. There were birds, flowers and a pleasant smell of Spirit Qi like places found in a Grotto-heaven. There was even a sun formed by a sun array shining above.
“The Guild Master is meeting guests at the Danyuan Hall.”
The three of them arrived at the Danyuan Hall and saw many elders sitting inside. There were also a bunch of young alchemists, such as Yan Wuwang and Jiang Han.
Other than the Guild Master of the Alchemy Guild members, another young man in a white outfit was sitting at the front. The man had silver hair and bright eyes. He was glittering and was the focus in the entire hall. He seemed to be even more superior than the elders.
It was the Master of the Wang family, Wang Xuanfeng!
Out of Chen Fan’s expectation, there were two other people he knew standing next to Wang Xuanfeng. They were the Master of the Hu family, Hu Xiao, and Violet Moon Fairy.
They were both surprised to see Chen Fan and Hu Xiao even narrowed his eyes.
“Xuanfeng, this is Situ Cheng, the new disciple of Elixir Lord. He’s the best talent we’ve had in the State of Ancient Medicine in the last century. You can ask him to make pills for you.”
The Guild Master smiled.
“I’m here for Brother Hu Xiao. He would like to have a cauldron of medicines made for the disciples of the Ethereal Heavenly Sect. Could you do that for him?” Wang Xuanfeng said seriously.
As the disciple of the Wang family, Wang Xuanfeng was as fierce as a dragon and many people couldn’t even stand in front of him.
“Master said that we must help you since you’re a friend from the Wang family, but he’s practicing right now and can’t leave, so he sent me here. You can tell me what medicine you want. I’ll make it for you,” Situ Cheng said with a haughty look.
Wang Xuanfeng hesitated and Perfected Cultivator Wei Huang immediately said, “Brother Xuanfeng, Situ Cheng has become a Grandmaster not long ago. If Elixir Lord didn’t keep it a secret, he would have already become an elder here.”
“Oh, I see.”
Wang Xuanfeng nodded and finally smiled.
Many young members in the hall were startled. Situ Cheng had already become an Alchemy Grandmaster? That was surprising.
A lot of the elders present had turned at least five hundred years old when they became Alchemy Grandmasters. Meanwhile, countless people were looking at Situ Cheng. He was like a peerless Divine Sword in the middle of the hall.
“This guy is really impressive.”
Yan Wuwang lowered his head.
Even Jiang Han seemed to be jealous. Wu Qinyan was the only one who was aware of this, but she still didn’t feel good about it. When Wang Xuanfeng was about to tell them his requirements, Hu Xiao suddenly said, “Guild Master Xu, since Elixir Lord isn’t available, can I ask another alchemist of yours to help me?”
“Who are you looking for?”
The Guild Master, Xu Yuan, hesitated.
The elders and disciples of the Alchemy Guild were also stunned. Hu Xiao didn’t want Situ Cheng, but another person? What did he mean? Situ Cheng also froze and seemed embarrassed.
Hu Xiao turned around and pointed at the corner of the hall with a smile.
“I want him!”
Everyone followed Hu Xiao’s finger and saw a young man in an azure outfit standing in the corner. Countless questions came to their minds right away.
“Who is he?”
