“They are also coming to the Alchemy Hall of Fame Competition?” Ye Mo asked out in surprise, but in his heart he was surprised, if all these old things came to participate in the Grand Competition, it would be a bit difficult for ordinary people to achieve a good ranking.
Yan Zheng, however, shook his head and said, “Senior Tong is certainly not here to participate in the Alchemy Hall of Fame Competition in Shattered Leaf, he is from the Dan a*sociation and should be here to be a judge. Cultivators who participate in the Alchemy Hall of Fame Competition must be under three hundred years old, and Senior Tong is over eight hundred years old, so of course it’s impossible for him to participate in the Hall of Fame Competition. So you don’t have to worry, generally as long as you can reach seventh grade Spiritual Dan Master it’s almost done, if you can’t reach seventh grade Spiritual Dan Master, there is still hope for a higher success rate.”
A seventh grade Spiritual Dan Master and a sixth grade Spiritual Dan Master was a huge gulf, in Yan Zheng’s mind Ye Mo was a sixth grade Spiritual Dan Master, Ye Mo’s master should have been a seventh grade Spiritual Dan Master. Ye Mo finally understood why Yan Zheng had asked him about his master’s age in the first place.
“By the way, has your master already arrived at Shattered Leaf City? If it’s convenient, I’d like to go visit his old man with you.” Ye Mo had never mentioned his master, and since he was guaranteed to get the ranking, in Yan Zheng’s mind, Ye Mo’s master must have arrived in Shattered Leaf City long ago.
Ye Mo smiled awkwardly and said, “Actually, Brother Yan, I haven’t contacted my master yet, and when I say I’m participating in the Grand Competition, it’s my own participation.”
“What?” Yan Zheng looked at Ye Mo in surprise for a while before he stammered a little and said, “Brother Ye, that, although I said that there is hope for a sixth grade spirit dan master, but, but ……”
Yan Zheng said in his heart, those words were to comfort Ye Mo. If the Sixth Grade Spiritual Dan Master had a higher success rate, it was still possible to enter the Alchemy Hall of Fame. But to snatch the top ten, that kind of hope simply did not exist. If it was really like what Ye Mo said, that his master didn’t come over and he just came to represent the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ in the competition on his own, then it would be the end.
Ye Mo certainly understood Yan Zheng’s meaning, although originally he had never said that his master would participate. And Yan Zheng hadn’t asked either. But both of them understood in their hearts that it was Ye Mo’s master, not Ye Mo, who was competing. But now Ye Mo suddenly said that the competition was for himself. This made Yan Zheng unable to accept it for a moment. In Yan Zheng’s opinion, although there were not many sixth-grade spirit dan masters, it was still possible for the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ to find ten or so sixth-grade spirit dan masters.
Ye Mo patted Yan Zheng’s shoulder and said, “Brother Yan. Don’t you worry, I can already refine seventh grade spirit pills, don’t worry.”
Hearing Ye Mo’s words, Yan Zheng was not surprised or surprised in the slightest. A sixth-grade spirit dan master could still refine a seventh-grade spirit dan by a fluke, but that was just chance, there was no success rate to speak of.
Yan Zheng sighed and was just about to speak when he suddenly reached out and took out a communication bead and looked at it, after reading it, he immediately said to Ye Mo hurriedly, “Brother Ye. You go and find an inn to stay first, I’ll come find you later.”
After saying that, he stuffed Ye Mo with a communication bead and hurriedly turned around and left, quickly disappearing in the middle of the crowd. There was a divine sense ban in Shattered Leaf City, and there was no way for divine sense to sweep out. So everyone in the city used communication beads to contact each other. But these communication beads had a distance limit, and after reaching a certain distance, they would simply fail.
Ye Mo shook his head, looked at the communication bead in his hand and casually put it away, but he had some bad premonition in his heart.
He had sensed Yan Zheng’s apprehension on his way to Broken Leaf City with him. And just now when he had said that the one who had come to the competition was not his master but himself, Yan Zheng’s apprehension seemed to have grown even heavier. Plus, after the two of them entered Shattered Leaf City, Yan Zheng didn’t take him to the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ post house, instead he asked him to find a place to rest by himself, so it was clear that things didn’t seem to be as simple as Ye Mo thought.
The prosperity and abundance of items in Shattered Leaf City was far from being comparable to River State City, and Ye Mo believed that there must be something he needed here, and perhaps he could buy the sword and weapon he needed here. Although he was good at alchemy and good at formations, he was not good at refining weapons.
But Ye Mo immediately thought that he had very few spirit stones on him, adding up to only about 100,000 medium grade spirit stones, and that was not to mention that he still owed Yan Zheng 50,000 upper grade spirit stones. Coupled with the fact that he had just seen Tong Wusheng, a ruthless man, on the street, Ye Mo immediately lost any desire to go shopping.
Although it was the period of the Dan Meeting Competition in Shattered Leaf City, it was good that Shattered Leaf City was big enough that there were plenty of inns to stay in. Ye Mo found a cheap inn in a very remote corner.
The reason why he found a cheap and remote place to stay was not because Ye Mo didn’t have spirit stones, but because Ye Mo was afraid of that Tong Black Face. In Ye Mo’s opinion, that boy had both status and position, and the place he lived in was definitely the most central and luxurious place in Shattered Leaf City, and the further he lived in a remote place, the better.
If it wasn’t for the desire to go to the Sand Plains Pill Valley, Ye Mo might have already sneaked away.
……
The headquarters of the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ was not in Shattered Leaf City, but the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ in Shattered Leaf City was not small, or at least too much larger than the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ branch pavilion in River State City.
There were various merchant forces in Shattered Leaf City, and although the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ was not small, it was not conspicuous in Shattered Leaf City.
When Yan Zheng hurriedly entered the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ in Shattered Leaf City, he clearly felt that the atmosphere was somewhat different and seemed to be somewhat depressing.
“Yan Zheng, why have you not come until now? The Elders’ Meeting is being held and you have been informed to enter immediately.” As soon as Yan Zheng entered, a man who was in charge immediately walked up to him and said eagerly.
Yan Zheng nodded and said, “I know ……”
He hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask if his uncle was there, but after the steward brought the words to Yan Zheng, he immediately turned around and left, seemingly not wanting to stay a second longer.
Yan Zheng did not dare to ask after him, but hurriedly walked towards the innermost meeting hall.
As soon as he walked into the meeting hall of the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ Shattered Leaf Sub-Court, he felt that oppression becoming more and more pronounced. Yan Zheng looked at the eight elders and the overhanded middle-aged man inside the meeting hall in amazement, his heart growing more and more shocked that even the grand steward of the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ had come.
The great power of the ‘Immortal Treasure House”s grand steward could be said to be the number one person under the Pavilion Master. Although he knew that a few elders would come from the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ for this Dan Conference, he did not expect that the top would take it so seriously that eight elders would come all at once, and even the Grand Steward had come. He knew that there were only twelve elders in total in the ‘Immortal Treasure House’.
But what rea*sured him was that his uncle had also come, and looking at his uncle’s eyes that made him relax, Yan Zheng was finally a little smoother.
Not daring to be slow, Yan Zheng hastily bent down and said, “Yan Zheng of the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ River State Branch Pavilion has met the Grand Steward and the eight elders.”
After saying this, Yan Zheng carefully walked to stand behind his uncle. His uncle, Yan County, was an elder of the ‘Immortal Treasure House’, and it was mainly thanks to Yan County that Yan Zheng was able to enter the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ and work as a steward in the River State Branch Pavilion.
However, although Yan County was Yan Zheng’s uncle, Yan Zheng called him his father, because Yan Zheng was his parents’ son who had pa*sed on to Yan County.
Looking at Yan Zheng as he carefully stood behind him, Yan County nodded, but again, did not speak.
“Elder Yan, now that Yan Zheng has come, I think the alchemy expert he spoke of should have brought him in as well, right? How come the man wasn’t brought in?” Just as Yan Zheng stood up, a somewhat shrill voice rang out.
Yan County ignored the alchemy expert and instead looked at Yan Zheng without speaking.
Some cold sweat immediately broke out behind Yan Zheng’s back, he could even feel that this elder’s words were deliberately directed at his uncle. For a moment, he surprisingly did not know how he should reply.
“Little Zheng, since Elder Feng has asked, you should tell him. It’s normal for a sixth-grade Spiritual Pill Master’s master to be called a pill-making expert.” Yan County spoke in a calm tone, not taking the elder’s words into account at all.
“Yes, it’s impressive, but even if it’s impressive, we should be allowed to see it. Otherwise, how do we know it’s not someone staging a bluff head? I’ve also heard that Steward Yan Zheng has done quite a lot of things in River State, and tens of thousands of square feet of River State City have been casually given away to others. Although my ‘Immortal Treasure House’ wouldn’t care about this amount of space, there has to be an open hall. If everyone did this, the future of my ‘Immortal Treasure House’ would be really worrying.” That elder did not care about Yan County’s words at all and still sneered.
“Feng Jiayu, what do you mean? In a place like River State City, is it a loss to spend 10,000 square feet to hire a sixth-grade spirit dan master?” Yan County’s face instantly sank.
Yan Zheng had fully understood by now that it should be this elder of the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ who was looking for trouble with his uncle, so he had brought out the kind of almost chicken-and-egg thing he had done. Although the tens of thousands of square feet of River State City was not small, it was not even a chicken scratch to the ‘Immortal Treasure House’.
Uncle had told him to spend more time on cultivation, did it have something to do with this matter?
“Alright, what’s the sense of decorum for all the bickering. Yan Zheng, tell me, how sure is that alchemist’s master? If you can, you can ask him to come to the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ to refine a seventh-grade spirit pill and try it out.” At this moment, the grand housekeeper sitting at the top hand spoke out and interrupted Yan County and Feng Ji Yu who were still arguing.
Yan Zheng’s heart sank and he immediately knew that what was originally a normal, even small matter had been seized upon by his uncle’s rival to make a fuss. Although he had heard Ye Mo say that he was completely sure, Yan Zheng only thought that Ye Mo was desperate to obtain his help at the time to say so. In his opinion, he would be satisfied if Ye Mo was only thirty percent sure. But now that his master hadn’t come, it looked like half a percent certainty was gone.
What made Yan Zheng even more worried was that originally, the matters of the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ Alchemy Hall of Fame Competition and the participation quotas were all under the control of his uncle, but now how come even the Grand Housekeeper had interfered?
When the Grand Steward asked, he didn’t dare to hide it, he hurriedly walked out and bent down and saluted the Grand Steward and said, “Originally it was an appointment, but that Dan Master Ye’s master had a temporary problem, and it was only Dan Master Ye who could represent us in the competition.”
Yan Zheng did not dare to say that Ye Mo was already a seventh-grade spirit dan master, he simply did not believe what Ye Mo said.
