Li Dajiang’s expression was indifferent, arrogantly superior, and unstoppable.

It seemed these people were generally not qualified to directly ask him anything.

His disciple Huang Shi said, "According to the information we obtained, the Divine Warrior Alchemy Furnace of the Celestial Realm Alchemist Yang Qingzi was in Lan City back then. If you can retrieve the furnace, everyone will receive an elixir, and one person will receive a Xuanyuan Pill."

Before everyone had time to be shocked, Li Dajiang’s other disciple Huang Ren said, "Not only that, after obtaining the alchemy furnace, Master will refine even higher grade elixirs. You won’t be without your share then."

One of the Martial Artists in the Innate Realm, Huang Kesheng, hurriedly said, "Master, why don’t you just tell us where the alchemical furnace is, and we’ll go retrieve it directly?"

"The alchemical furnace is right at..."

Just as Huang Ren was about to speak, Liu Zhishang’s voice suddenly rang out, "Cao, you’re finally here."

Huang Ren glanced at the door and promptly fell silent.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting, apologies, apologies."

Cao Tianyang smiled apologetically, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Following behind him was Ye Chenfeng, constantly stuffing elixirs into his mouth.

Just like eating snacks...

"Haha, Lord Cao, you are truly the towering existence of martial arts in Lan City; who else would we wait for?"

Liu Zhishang flattered him.

The others all showed fawning expressions. After all, Cao Tianyang was a great master, possibly the best in Lan City.

"Is this the alchemist master Liu was talking about? Cao Tianyang greets the master."

Cao Tianyang bowed while also sizing up Li Dajiang.

"Hm."

Li Dajiang’s expression remained unmoved; he merely nodded.

"Who is this?"

Everyone was surprised to see Ye Chenfeng follow along.

Liu Zhishang laughed and said, "Lord Cao likes to take on some nominal disciples; this must be one of them."

"Yes, we’ve heard he has taken on many nominal disciples."

The others echoed, none of them paid much attention, directly ignoring Ye Chenfeng.

Only Ma Tianling seemed deep in thought, gazing at Ye Chenfeng with some wariness.

He knew some of the inside information.

"If my guess is correct, Lord Cao should be at the half-step Heavenly Rule cultivation?"

Li Dajiang’s disciple Huang Shi suddenly asked.

"What? Lord Cao is already at the half-step Heavenly Rule?"

Everyone was astonished.

Cao Tianyang nodded, "Yes, that’s correct."

"Master Cao, Master here has a Xuanyuan Pill; as soon as you consume it, it will immediately advance you into the Heavenly Rule Realm."

Huang Shi said with a smile, a gleam in his eye.

It’s false to say he’s not tempted; Cao Tianyang couldn’t help but ask, "What are the conditions?"

"The conditions are simple: as long as Master Cao helps retrieve the Divine Warrior Alchemy Furnace for Master."

Huang Shi guided him step by step.

"Where is it?"

Cao Tianyang asked straightforwardly.

"Actually, it’s a place Lord Cao is familiar with, Jiuzhou Garden Manor. I’ve heard Lord Cao used to be the manor’s owner, now just exchanged out."

Huang Ren explained the location.

"Jiuzhou Garden Manor? Indeed, the owner is quite mysterious; I also don’t know their identity."

Cao Tianyang couldn’t help but say.

Huang Ren’s smile deepened, "Everyone need not be nervous; we’ve investigated thoroughly. The owner of Jiuzhou Garden Manor is merely a rich individual, there won’t be any masters. He’s merely wealthy, having bought things from Tianshui Town."

Huang Shi agreed, "Yes, that’s correct. Moreover, we have so many masters here, and most importantly, we have Lord Cao at the half-step Heavenly Rule. What can’t we obtain? Furthermore, there’s Liu Zhishang, whose power is formidable."

"Participating in this, you will get an elixir; whoever retrieves the alchemical furnace in person will receive the Xuanyuan Pill."

Huang Ren tempted from the side.

Li Dajiang continued to rest with closed eyes throughout.

He neglected Cao and his group completely.

Because even if Cao and his group refused, there would be other masters to serve, even those in the Heavenly Rule Realm.

This is the foundation of the alchemist, and the reason for his arrogance.

"I agree!"

"I also agree!"

Everyone agreed one by one.

Finally, only Ma Tianling and Cao Tianyang hadn’t expressed their opinions.

"Sorry everyone, I’m opting out."

Ma Tianling looked deeply at Ye Chenfeng, finally deciding to withdraw.

He had just set his men to investigate; this investigation revealed significant issues.

Sitting next to him was none other than Zhao Gongzi.

Luckily, he had people who had been to Tianshui Town, and heard things.

Otherwise, there would have been big trouble.

"Old Ma is now blinded by worldly wealth, long losing his pure martial heart."

Huang Kesheng said discontentedly.

"What about Lord Cao?"

Everyone’s eyes focused on Cao Tianyang.

Cao Tianyang subtly glanced at Ye Chenfeng.

"I agree, you decide the time."

Cao Tianyang agreed.

"Haha, Lord Cao is indeed straightforward."

"In that case, let’s set the time for tonight, specific notifications will follow."

Liu Zhishang said with a smile.

As they were about to leave, Huang Ren disdained Ye Chenfeng, "Young man, don’t be so wild. Lan City is just a small place, many people are just frogs at the bottom of a well. Don’t think that because you’ve got a good master, you can act recklessly."

"Yes, when you truly step outside, you will realize just how narrow your vision is."

Huang Shi agreed.

In truth, earlier neither Huang Shi nor Huang Ren paid Ye Chenfeng any attention.

But Ye Chenfeng’s arrogance elicited their displeasure.

"Heh, Lord Cao, your disciple seems a bit wild. At such an occasion, he’s actually been eating snacks all along." Huang Shi sneered.

Huang Ren glared at Ye Chenfeng, "Does he think he’s eating some miraculous elixir?"

Cao Tianyang: "...".

The banquet quickly dispersed since the evening’s action was the focus.

"Gone?"

After everyone left, Li Dajiang opened his eyes.

"Master, they all left."

Huang Shi and Huang Ren said respectfully beside him.

"Hm?"

Li Dajiang suddenly twitched his nose, seemingly sniffing something.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

Huang Shi and Huang Ren asked in surprise, while Liu Zhishang gave a curious look.

"Such a rich medicinal aroma..."

Li Dajiang continued to sniff.

"Why can’t we smell it?"

Huang Shi and Huang Ren attempted to sniff.

"Young Masters, compared to the master, you are still lacking."

Liu Zhishang laughed noncommittally.

"Mm, mm."

The two nodded.

"Something’s wrong..."

Li Dajiang exclaimed.

"What’s wrong?"

Liu Zhishang and the others were even more surprised.

"It’s actually an elixir whose grade is higher than the Xuanyuan Pill... hsss..."

Li Dajiang gasped, unable to help exclaiming.

"What? Earth Profound Pill? An elixir graded higher than the Xuanyuan Pill? Isn’t that the Earth Profound Pill?"

Huang Shi and Huang Ren had a crazed expression, as if their eyes were about to pop out.

"Earth Profound Pill? Isn’t that the legendary miraculous elixir that can push the Heavenly Rule into the Celestial Realm?"

Liu Zhishang asked full of shock, unable to resist.
