Chapter 1871: Chapter 1872: Storm-Calming Wave (Part 2)! Third Watch

Ye Qiu stopped before a door with Zhang Shanfeng, and after taking out an item from his arms, the gaze of the guard at the door changed instantly, full of respect, inviting Ye Qiu to enter.

Zhang Shanfeng was unaware of whose territory this courtyard was, but to possess such an estate in Luohé City meant it was no ordinary person.

Ye Qiu did not say, and Zhang Shanfeng did not ask further questions; ever since he chose to follow Ye Qiu, he was prepared to be a servant. What he needed to know, Ye Qiu would tell him, and what he didn’t need to know, Ye Qiu naturally wouldn’t say.

Just as he wondered how Ye Qiu came to know the owner of this grand courtyard, a hearty laugh echoed from ahead, followed by a figure approaching proactively.

"Pill Master Ye’s arrival truly adds brilliance to this humble courtyard," Bai Lingtian said.

As a Saint, nothing escapes his notice; moreover, this was his domain.

"Sorry to intrude," Ye Qiu replied with a smile.

Zhang Shanfeng followed suit with a bow, inwardly puzzled as to who this middle-aged man was. He appeared to have no aura whatsoever, like an ordinary man, yet Ye Qiu was so respectful, suggesting he wasn’t a regular person.

"My visit here hasn’t disturbed the Saint, has it?"

"Pill Master Ye’s presence delights me greatly; what disturbance are you speaking of? I hope for your frequent visits," Bai Lingtian laughed.

In Bai Lingtian’s heart, there was no underestimating Ye Qiu because he knew Ye Qiu was a Divine Grade Alchemist capable of crafting divine pills and being so young, his future was boundless.

This is why Bai Lingtian highly regards Ye Qiu; otherwise, even for the three prodigious individuals in Luohé City, Bai Lingtian wouldn’t be so enthusiastic.

The talents of those three are quite impressive, but what of it? As long as they remain short of the Saint Realm, they’re beneath him, and even if they break through to the Saint Realm in the future, they’d only be on par with him.

Yet Ye Qiu is different, as a Divine Grade Alchemist; if his skill in alchemy advances further, he could potentially create Immortal Pills. Immortal Pills symbolize the potential to foster formidable beings across realms.

Thus, facing Ye Qiu, Bai Lingtian takes him very seriously, even though he is in the Saint Realm, he shows no arrogance.

From Ye Qiu referring to the man as a Saint, Zhang Shanfeng understood the middle-aged man before them was indeed a Saint, and a sense of respect grew within him, as he deemed Saints invincible.

However, seeing young master Ye Qiu face Saint Bai Lingtian without any tension or nervousness, appearing relaxed, Zhang Shanfeng realized how vast the difference between them was. He was timid before a Saint, whereas Ye Qiu dealt calmly, without any restraint.

After sitting down, Ye Qiu and Bai Lingtian discussed Master Cang, opening the conversation.

After chatting for a while, Bai Lingtian said, "Coming alone to Luohé City might leave you without a place to stay; why don’t you live here if it’s convenient, Pill Master?"

"This seems like it would be too much trouble for you, Saint," Ye Qiu said but considered it in his heart as a viable option, at least staying in Bai Lingtian’s manor would deter others from causing trouble, considering Bai Lingtian’s clout.

Zhang Yunfeng’s heart shook once again, realizing the importance Bai Lingtian placed on Ye Qiu significantly exceeded his expectations.

As a Martial Artist of the Void Shattered realm, Zhang Yunfeng had seen a Saint make a move, equating to a deity-like maneuver; his level could be easily vanquished by a Saint.

But a Saint wanting Ye Qiu to reside here isn’t a privilege anyone can have.

"Can Alchemists hold such high status?" Zhang Shanfeng wondered, thinking a place like Luohé City shouldn’t lack Alchemists, and as a Saint, ordinary pills would be useless to him. Was this Saint hospitable to Ye Qiu to obtain pills for his descendants?

Zhang Shanfeng made wild guesses, but he was wrong. Bai Lingtian valued Ye Qiu not for the sake of descendants but for potential future gains — if Ye Qiu’s alchemy skill further increased, producing Immortal Pills, then Bai Lingtian could aspire to reach higher realms.

"Pill Master Ye’s too courteous, you needn’t call me Saint, calling me Brother Lingtian makes us less formal," Bai Lingtian said willingly, aiming to foster good relations with Ye Qiu because it related to his advancement in martial arts, where Ye Qiu represented a life-saving opportunity.

Good that the commotion from Ye Qiu crafting divine pills was noticeable; otherwise, he might not have known Luohé City had an Alchemist like Ye Qiu.

Luohé City indeed had no shortage of Alchemists, but those who could create divine-grade pills were almost non-existent, like rare phoenix feathers.

Alchemists differ from Martial Artists as they require higher talent, without certain alchemical insights, becoming an alchemist is impossible.

Moreover, an Alchemist’s skill in alchemy can only be refined over time, little by little, consuming large amounts of spirit grass, spiritual medicine, and personal energy. Cultivating a Divine Grade Alchemist costs a hefty price. Some sects and families can’t afford it; supporting an Alchemist consumes too much, devouring spirit grass as if burning money.

Not all sects can bear the cost, causing the slow advancement of Alchemists. Many remain at medium or high grade after decades, with few like Ye Qiu who are young and already Divine Grade Alchemists.

Since learning Ye Qiu could craft divine pills, Bai Lingtian aimed to foster good relations with him, leading to Master Cang inviting Ye Qiu to Bai Lingtian’s feast.

"Alright, then I’ll call you Brother Lingtian," Ye Qiu said.

"Great, I’ll call you Brother Burning Heaven from now on. Starting today, you can live here," Bai Lingtian said.

Ye Qiu no longer refused, but still courteously replied, "Thank you, Brother Lingtian."

Afterward, Bai Lingtian instructed servants to escort Ye Qiu to his quarters to rest for a while.

Once Ye Qiu and Zhang Shanfeng left with the servant, Bai Lingtian felt excited, as Ye Qiu residing at his manor formed a bond. He only needed to nurture this bond, hoping future favors from Ye Qiu might include an Immortal Pill.

Zhang Shanfeng followed Ye Qiu; the servant leading them past rock gardens soon revealed several small courtyards.

After passing two to three small courtyards, Ye Qiu noticed some spirit grass; this place seemed familiar to him.

It wasn’t until passing a courtyard densely planted with spirit grass did Ye Qiu recall it was the same courtyard with the beauty bathing he saw the other day.

The skin fair as jade, an extraordinarily alluring figure that captivated his eyes; even recalling it now stirred his blood.

This time, however, there wasn’t a beauty bathing, with the formation even vanished.

Ye Qiu felt a bit empty inside, surprisingly experiencing a sense of loss.

What the... Even Ye Qiu started to despise himself a bit.

"The nature of a man, the nature of a man..." Ye Qiu chanted, repeating to himself continuously, assuring himself it was normal. He was a regular man, expecting beautiful things — what’s there to fault in that?

With that thought, Ye Qiu felt at ease.

"If heaven grants me another chance, I would definitely see her face clearly!" Ye Qiu thought to himself.
