Sovereign’s Great Path

The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.    

"Young Master Yan, congratulations." The moment Teng Yan and Yue Shan walked into the main hall, and just as they sat down, Xuanyuan Wudi immediately smiled and said to Teng Yan while cupping his fists.    

"Congratulations?" Teng Yan could not help but be taken aback. That strange gaze also fell on Xuanyuan Wudi's body, and he could not help but frown and ask: "Where did your happiness come from?"    

"Haha, the first is naturally because Young Master Yan cleaned up the Wang family this time. The second is because Young Master Yan has collected a lot of herbs and ingredients. The third is that …" Xuanyuan Wudi said as his gaze landed on Teng Yan, "Naturally it is to congratulate Young Master Yan for recruiting more than two thousand practitioners, and for gaining the recognition of an overwhelming majority in the Chaotic Capital. I believe that in the future, this Chaotic Capital will also have a place for Young Master Yan. "    

Hm?    

Xuanyuan Wudi's words couldn't help but cause Teng Yan to be stunned, and those hidden eyes instantly looked towards Xuanyuan Wudi.    

What did that mean?    

Warning?    

Threatening?    

Or … Probing?    

"Hehe, Xuanyuan clan leader is joking, how can this young master's abilities be compared with your three great forces?" Looking at Xuanyuan Wudi, Teng Yan's indifferent voice sounded, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance. After all, he knew very little about Xuanyuan Wudi, and he didn't even know what kind of person Xuanyuan Wudi was.    

"Young Master Yan is being modest." Xuanyuan Wudi smiled lightly.    

"However, no matter what Young Master Yan's future is, my Xuanyuan Family will always be Young Master Yan's most loyal ally. However, I hope that if Young Master Yan is able to soar to greatness in the future, you will be able to take care of my Xuanyuan Family. " Xuanyuan Wudi said indifferently.    

Hm?    

Teng Yan could not help but be taken aback.    

"Of course …" Teng Yan said with a smile, but his eyes that looked at Xuanyuan Wudi flashed a hint of confusion.    

What does Xuanyuan Wudi mean by this?    

A show of goodwill?    

Statement?    

Heh …    

Teng Yan could not help but laugh indifferently in his heart, and thought to himself: "Perhaps Xuanyuan Wudi has taken his potential seriously."    

What about the truth?    

The truth was the same.    

The matter of Eastern City suppressing the Wang Family today had already let Xuanyuan Wudi see that Teng Yan was extraordinary. That scheming, that kind of ability to subdue the hearts of people, was not something that anyone could match. With every step, it could be said that Teng Yan's every step of the way was within his calculations. Currently, with more than two thousand warriors joining their ranks, Teng Yan's strength instantly increased.    

This kind of person would either kill him in the cradle, or they could only try their best to befriend him.    

Kill him?    

As a pharmacist, there was no doubt about the importance of those heaven defying pellets to the Xuanyuan Family. In this kind of situation, it was impossible for the Xuanyuan Family to break with Teng Yan, and even more so, kill him in his cradle.    

Then they could only befriend each other.    

"Then this old man wants to thank Young Master Yan." Xuanyuan Wudi said.    

"Xuanyuan clan leader is too courteous, we are just mutually beneficial, after all, we are allies, right?" Teng Yan also laughed indifferently, since he had already figured out Xuanyuan Wudi's thoughts, then things would become much simpler. At the very least, he did not need to worry about the dangers that the Xuanyuan Family would bring him, of course … He had to be on guard against anyone, even Teng Yan would not give up when necessary.    

"Yes, we are allies."    

"Hur hur."    

"Oh right, Xuanyuan clan leader, how many Body Refinement Pellets do you have in your hands?" Then, Teng Yan suddenly asked. In this period of time, other than keeping a portion of the Body Refinement Pellets for himself, he gave Xuanyuan Family the rest of the pills. Teng Yan naturally did not know how many Body Tempering Pellets he had refined.    

"15,231 stones." Xuanyuan Wudi said without the slightest hesitation.    

"15231?" Teng Yan could not help but be taken aback, as his shocked eyes fell on Xuanyuan Wudi's body. Of course, Teng Yan was not surprised that he had refined so many Body Refinement Pellets, but shocked that Xuanyuan Wudi could actually remember how many pellets he had concocted so clearly.    

"That's right, although there are many warriors below the pulse state in Xuanyuan Family, there aren't many of them. Everyone has already consumed them, so there's no point in continuing to consume them, so …" Xuanyuan Wudi said indifferently: "Oh right, why did Young Master Yan suddenly ask about this?"    

"Xuanyuan clan leader, spread the effects of the Body Refinement Pellet." Following which, Teng Yan spoke out.    

Hm?    

Xuanyuan Wudi could not help but be taken aback, as his astonished gaze fell upon Teng Yan. "Young Master Yan, didn't you say that this Body Refinement Pellet is not for sale?"    

"I didn't say I would sell it."    

"Then Young Master Yan means …"    

"Since your Xuanyuan Family no longer needs these pills, then it would be a waste to keep them. Buying Spirit Grass would also cost a lot of money, no matter how rich you Xuanyuan Family were, there would be a day when you spend all your money. "Since that's the case, why don't we exchange these Body Refinement Pellets for spiritual herbs?" Teng Yan said indifferently.    

"Pills for Spirit Grass?" Xuanyuan Wudi was startled.    

"That's right."    

"Five Tier 1 spiritual herbs for one Body Refinement Pellet, one Tier 2 spiritual herb for one Body Tempering Pellet, and one Tier 3 spiritual herb for two Body Tempering Pellets." Immediately after, Teng Yan's indifferent voice sounded out, the reason why Teng Yan did that was also because the Wang family was fighting over the spirit herbs. The Body Refinement Pellet was no longer of much use to Teng Yan and the Xuanyuan Family. Furthermore, as an alchemist, Teng Yan would definitely need all kinds of spirit herbs in the future.    

The charm of the pill was something no one could resist.    

At that time, Teng Yan would not have to worry about not being able to purchase any Spirit Grass, even if the Wang family wanted to, it would be impossible. After all, the Wang family did not have a Body Refinement Pellet. This way, Teng Yan would have enough spirit herbs to increase his soul cultivation and rush into the ranks of alchemists.    

"This …" Hearing this, Xuanyuan Wudi hesitated: "Young Master Yan's idea is not bad, but …"    

"But what? If Xuanyuan clan leader has something to say, feel free to say it. "    

"Isn't the price too cheap?"    

"Cheap?"    

"That's right. I need seven Tier 1 spiritual herbs to concoct the Body Refinement Pellets. I can refine three of these at least now." If this was the case, one could only refine a single Body Refinement Pellet if there were two to three Tier 1 spiritual herbs. In other words, the profit was only half. The effect of this Body Refinement Pellet is so heaven-defying. Five stalks of Spirit Grass is too cheap. Even if ten stalks of Tier 1 Spirit Grass were to be exchanged for one, I believe that many people would not reject it.    

"10 stalks?" "Not expensive?" The corner of Teng Yan's mouth twitched.    

"That's right, it's not expensive at all."    

"Xuanyuan clan leader, don't forget that this Body Refinement Pellet is only effective on warriors below the fifth level of pulse state. Although it is tempting to make a breakthrough once, how much money does a practitioner below the fifth level of pulse state have? Ten stalks of spirit grass for a single herb, do you think they can afford it? "    

"This …" Xuanyuan Wudi hesitated.    

"Moreover, my goal is not to get them to buy spirit herbs and then exchange them for pills. I want them to go to Divine Desolate Mountain Range to gather spirit grass, since how many spirit herbs can there be in Chaotic Capital? Five stalks of spirit stalks may be something that warriors below the fifth stage of pulse state would want to try, but ten stalks of spirit stalks is too many, I believe that many would choose to give up. "    

"This …"    

"This young master needs more spiritual herbs to reach the alchemist level."    

Xuanyuan Wudi could not help but be taken aback when he heard this.    

High-tier medicinal masters and money?    

Xuanyuan Wudi would of course not hesitate to choose a high level pellet.    

Their original intention was to gather more spirit herbs to help Teng Yan breakthrough to the pharmacist level, but that was not to make money.

City Lord's Mansion    

After Teng Yan entered the City Lord's Mansion, everything had changed. The main gate of the City Lord's Mansion that no one cared about in the past was guarded by four City Guards. The four of them raised their heads and spread their chest, and stood there motionlessly like four statues.    

"Phew …"    

A figure walked towards the Mayor's mansion from afar. He appeared in front of the mansion in an instant like a cool breeze.    

Shock!    

The sudden change gave the four City Guards a shock.    

Who is it?    

The hearts of the four city guards fiercely shook. After a short period of absent-mindedness, they directly stood in front of the person who had arrived. "Stop." A dignified and solemn voice followed him.    

Shua shua shua …    

At the same time, the gazes of the four city guards landed on the person who just arrived.    

A pair of crystal clear eyes that seemed to be about to drip with water were clamped on his perfectly handsome face. Fragmented long hair covered his smooth forehead, falling onto his thick and long eyelashes. At this moment, under the warm sunlight, there was no blush on his face. His delicate and pretty face only revealed a sickly paleness and a trace of vicissitudes. However, it constantly exuded a noble and elegant aura, matching with his tall and slender figure.    

This was a man;    

This was a very beautiful man.    

"So beautiful …" A city guard couldn't help but exclaim in an intoxicated tone.    

Hm?    

Hearing this, the person couldn't help but frown.    

Shua …    

His gentle eyes instantly flashed with a trace of coldness. It was extremely sharp. At the same time, it landed on the City Guard Army's body. His eyes were like a sharp sword, causing the City Guard's body to tremble.    

Shua …    

This city guard couldn't help but take a step back.    

"Pay attention to your words, beauty. That's what you call a woman." In the next second, the middle-aged man's slightly dissatisfied voice sounded out.    

Eh?    

The four city guards couldn't help but be surprised, three of them fiercely glared at the city guard.    

Shua shua shua …    

Immediately, the four city guards looked at the beautiful man once again.    

"It doesn't matter if you're a man or a very beautiful man. This is the City Lord's Mansion, outsiders are not allowed to enter." One of them spoke out directly.    

"I'm looking for someone." The man's indifferent voice sounded.    

"To whom?"    

"Teng Yan!"    

"Looking for the City Lord?" The four city guards couldn't help but be surprised, their shocked eyes instantly fell on the man.
