Feng San was utterly baffled.
“Then . . . is your Young Master, Ye Yuan, around? We can also look for him!” Right then, Wang Jinfu opened his mouth.
Feng San felt a little guilty as he gave in. “Three lords, Young Master returned to the academy yesterday night.”
The three people exchanged looks again. Wang Jinfu shook his head and sighed. “Looks like that punk is intentionally hiding from us! How can that fellow, Jiang Yunhe, let Ye Yuan go after he returns to the academy?”
Wu Daofeng seemed to be pondering, but no one knew what he was thinking about either. After some time, he said, “Shopkeeper, don’t let your imagination run wild. We actually came here today to deliver Ye Yuan’s badge. He passed the Alchemist Association’s test yesterday. Since he’s not around, then we will pass the badge to you. I have to trouble shopkeeper to personally go down and deliver this to Ye Yuan’s hands.”
When Feng San heard deliver badge, he immediately relaxed. So Young Master really became promising, to have passed the Alchemy Apprentice test. At least the owner had a successor now.
However, he quickly grew suspicious again. It was just a badge. Why would it trouble the three major heads of the association to personally deliver it?
Was delivering the badge a pretense and finding the owner to discuss a major matter was the actual intent instead?
Thinking about it, there was only this possibility. After all, Ye Yuan was a junior. There was no way the three major heads would be dispatched.
Although Ye Hang was not qualified yet, because of the Drunken Star Manor’s Essence Gathering Pill, the entire situation in the capital had become abnormal. It was also understandable for these three major figures to come and find Ye Hang.
After all, Ye Hang was also an Alchemy Grandmaster, an important figure in the capital.
Connecting the dots, Feng San felt like he finally understood the other party’s purpose of visit. He quickly said, “No trouble, no trouble at all! To be of service for the three Lords is this lowly one’s honor. I will go to the Dan Wu Academy right away and personally hand this badge over to Young Master.”
“Jinfu, give the badge to the shopkeeper,” Wu Daofeng said calmly.
“This . . . Why don’t we go down personally? In case . . .” Wang Jinfu did not take out the badge right away and was somewhat hesitant.
“No need. The association has never interfered with local affairs. We can’t break this rule. With our status, it’s not appropriate for us to appear at the Dan Wu Academy. Don’t worry. In terms of alchemy, who can compare to the Alchemist Association?” Wu Daofeng said.
Wang Jinfu’s eyes lit up. “Lord Chairman is still more foresighted. This old one understands.”
Finishing his words, Wang Jinfu retrieved the badge, and then he handed it over to Feng San. He said, “We have to trouble you, Shopkeeper. However, please don’t reveal this matter of you delivering the badge. Although this matter can’t be hidden for long, every moment counts.”
Feng San was confused. It was just an Alchemy Apprentice badge. Why were these lords taking it so seriously? Was this not blowing things out of proportion?
However, when his two eyes landed on the badge in Wang Jinfu’s hands, they became wide circles as his eyes were involuntarily glued to the badge.
Only to see that two stars were sewn on that blue color badge!
I-isn’t this an Alchemy Master’s badge?
Was there a mistake?!

“What?! You’re saying that Ye Yuan passed the Alchemy Master test with his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm strength?”
Jiang Yunhe had not lost his composure like this for a long time. But the news brought by Feng Ruoqing overwhelmed him.
“Yes. Not only did he pass the low-rank Alchemy Master test, he even refined a transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill during the test. Upon testing, a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm after consuming the pill would possess the strength to threaten a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.” Feng Ruoqing seemed like she would not give up until she shocked people to death with her words.
“Transcendent-grade . . . Tier 2 . . . medicinal pill? F-First Level Spirit Condensation Realm threatening a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm?”
Jiang Yunhe’s brain short-circuited. What Feng Ruoqing said had completely surpassed his understanding.
Feng Ruoqing wanted to laugh watching Jiang Yunhe lose composure in such a manner. She had been here at the Dan Wu Academy for several years but had never seen Jiang Yunhe in this state.
“Could it be that Ye Yuan was born with a powerful soul strength that already reached the Alchemy Master realm?” after some time, Jiang Yunhe finally asked.
But Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said, “That’s not it. His soul strength isn’t that strong. It’s only slightly stronger than the average person. He could refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill because he used the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.”
“Sssss! Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique . . . Even if it’s the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, isn’t this a little too exaggerated?”
“Mmm. Truth be told, Ye Yuan’s Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique has already reached the legendary stage!”
Even now when Feng Ruoqing said this, she felt that it was inconceivable.
Legendary stage, that by itself was a legend.
It was virtually impossible to reach that stage.
Even those old people who lost all their teeth in the Alchemist Association did not manage to train any alchemy technique to the legendary stage, let alone the even more challenging Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.
Jiang Yunhe who was already shocked until he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, was shocked once more.
He stared at Feng Ruoqing for some time before confirming that she did not lie. “Just what lucky encounter did this Ye Yuan had? Isn’t this too unbelievable?”
Feng Ruoqing seemed to be well-prepared. “He obviously won’t reveal this sort of thing. But my guess is there should be an extremely powerful alchemist behind Ye Yuan! And it’s impossible for that person to be his father. The way I see it, this alchemist is definitely not limited to the Alchemy King realm!”
Jiang Yunhe paced about to digest the news that Feng Ruoqing brought back.
It seemed that Feng Ruoqing’s guess should be the closest to the truth. Otherwise, it could not explain how Ye Yuan possessed such monstrous alchemic talent at such a young age.
After a long time, Jiang Yunhe said, “Such a figure is too terrifying. It’s best to not provoke. It’s just that I don’t understand. Since Ye Yuan has such an incredible master, why would he come to the Dan Wu Academy?”
Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said, “I also thought about this question. Most likely, it’s to train his disciple?”
“Mmm. There is this possibility! Damn, you said Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming, those two geezers, also knows about this. They definitely won’t let Ye Yuan go! Come, let’s quickly find Ye Yuan!”
As he was saying this, Jiang Yunhe wanted to rush out.
Feng Ruoqing smiled and said, “Relax, Dean. After returning to the academy, I’d already visited the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Ye Yuan has already returned to the academy during the night. Lord Chairman Wu Daofeng brought the two deputy chairmen in vain. Grandmaster Ye Hang is also coincidentally in a closed-door seclusion, so the three of them returned empty-handed. Finally, they could only request the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s shopkeeper, Feng San, to deliver the badge to the academy.”
Jiang Yunhe let out a huge sigh of relief. Laughing out loud, he then said, “Haha. To think Old Man Wu would actually be denied entrance. I think his face back then would have been very interesting. Ye Yuan must have definitely predicted this situation, that’s why he rushed back through the night. It looks like his feelings for the academy is very deep! Since Ye Yuan’s back at the academy, quickly
bring him to see me. No, I’ll personally go visit him!”
Jiang Yunhe brought Feng Ruoqing to Ye Yuan’s residence and did not alarm other people.
Personally visiting a student with his status would definitely cause a huge uproar in the academy.
Except, Jiang Yunhe did not manage to meet with Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan entered the training room after returning to the academy.
But Jiang Yunhe saw Lu-er and Feng San at Ye Yuan’s residence. However, they did not recognize Jiang Yunhe. Lu-er was very familiar with Feng Ruoqing though.
“Teacher Feng is here to look for Young Master?”
“Yeah. Didn’t he come back yesterday night? Where is he?”
“Young Master said that he felt he was going to break through, so he entered a closed-door seclusion right away after returning. Shopkeeper Feng San didn’t get to see him either.”
Jiang Yunhe was stunned. What breakthrough? This rascal was clearly hiding from everyone!
It had only been a few days since he broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, how could it be possible for another breakthrough so soon?
Even though Ye Yuan’s breakthroughs previously were indeed fast, but for every increment in cultivation realm in the Essence Qi Realm, the difficulty would also become greater.
How could it be so easy to break through from the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm?
Furthermore, even if he broke through, his cultivation realm rose too quickly would inevitably affect future cultivation growth. This way of doing things was just not worth it.
There was such a powerful teacher behind Ye Yuan, how could he possibly make such a low-level mistake?
Hence, Ye Yuan must definitely be hiding from everyone!
This brat caused such a huge upheaval, yet he hid himself and avoided meeting anyone. How irresponsible!
Jiang Yunhe felt very depressed. He came to visit a junior with his status and was actually denied entrance!
Just now, he was still laughing at Wu Daofeng. He did not think that karma would strike instantly, and it was his turn so soon.
But one had to acknowledge that a closed-door seclusion was an excellent excuse.
When martial artists were cultivating, it was taboo for them to be interrupted during closed-seclusion.
Even if Jiang Yunhe was the dean, he also could not casually interrupt Ye Yuan’s closed-door seclusion.
Feng Ruoqing did not expect this result either and so she said helplessly, “Then . . . forgive our disturbance, Miss Lu-er. If Ye Yuan exits seclusion, could Miss Lu-er please tell him to look for the Lord Dean at the back of the mountain, Cloud Wave Court?”
Lu-er blinked her eyes and nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, Teacher Feng. Lu-er will remember.”
Lu-er was naïve and did not understand Feng Ruoqing’s meaning. However, Feng San was proficient in the ways of the world. His entire body quivered when he heard this, and his eyes sneaked a peek at Jiang Yunhe.
Initially, he only faintly felt how powerful this person was, but at this moment, he was able to guess Jiang Yunhe’s identity!
Feng San did not expect the dignified Dan Wu Academy’s dean would come to look for Ye Yuan personally!
Recalling this morning where Lord Wu Daofeng also visited personally to deliver the badge, Feng San was incomparably shocked.
Ever since he received the badge in the morning, Feng San knew that Wu Daofeng did not come to look for Ye Hang. They came to look for Ye Yuan!
Having been the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s shopkeeper for so many years, nobody was clearer than him about what a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm Alchemy Master meant!
The two most powerful, most influential big-shots went so far as to personally visit his Young Master!
“Huuuuuu . . . ”
Watching Jiang Yunhe and Feng Ruoqing in the distance, Feng San let out a long breath.
Young Master Ye Yuan really could not compare with the past. He had already gone from a silkpants to becoming a top genius in the entire State of Qin.
Even major figures like Jiang Yunhe and Wu Daofeng were fighting to win over his young master!
“Oh Lu-er, our family’s Young Master Ye Yuan has finally become capable!” Feng San sighed emotionally.
But Lu-er pouted her lips, and she said with a smile, “Young Master has already been amazing. It’s just that you all misunderstood him in the past.”
Feng San looked at Lu-er speechlessly . . .
Chapter 71

It was true that Ye Yuan was hiding from everyone. However, he was really in a closed-door seclusion.
Since his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation had already been consolidated, he could not wait to increase his strength.
Ye Yuan’s essence energy was thoroughly exhausted in refining the Tier 2 medicinal pill. It was indeed an incredible burden on his body.
Presently, Ye Yuan was recovering his exhausted essence energy in order to adjust himself to his peak condition. Following that, he planned to take transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills to breakthrough to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm in one stroke.
Of course, the amount of time required to break through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm could not be compared with back then from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.
The second stage of the Essence Qi Realm.
Every time one’s cultivation realm rose, the essence energy required also increased by a large quantity.
Although Ye Yuan had sufficient transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills, he still needed time to digest them.
In addition, what he trained in was the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, so the essence energy expended was several times of the average person.
However, Ye Yuan was not in a rush. He had plenty of time.
He will be in closed-door seclusion for a few days first to let those people get busy and leave him alone.
Jiang Yunhe was certainly very busy. After failing to meet Ye Yuan, he left the Dan Wu Academy.
In reality, Jiang Yunhe had always been busy. He actually spent very little time in the academy. Nobody knew what he went out to do.
He happened to be back at the academy these few days and found out that such a dazzling new star rose within a month.
However, Ye Yuan required time to grow no matter how talented he was. After all, he was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.
As long as Ye Yuan was in the Dan Wu Academy, Jiang Yunhe need not worry about this genius running away.
Since Ye Yuan chose the Dan Wu Academy, it was impossible for Wu Daofeng to come to the Dan Wu Academy personally to headhunt people.
After making it through the initial shock and having thought through this part, Jiang Yunhe naturally had to get busy with his own matters. There was no way he would wait here specifically for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion.
Yet at this time, Lu-er welcomed an unexpected guest. Someone who claimed to be a student from the academy’s General Affairs Department was looking for her.
“This Junior Apprentice Sister is Lu-er?” The student’s attitude was very haughty.
Lu-er was a little perplexed, but she still responded, “Yes. May I ask who this Senior Apprentice Brother is?”
“I’m a student manager from the General Affairs Departments; the name’s Zhang Heng.”
“So it’s Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Heng. I wonder if you are looking for Lu-er for something?”
Although Lu-er was innocent, she was not dumb. This Zhang Heng would not find her for no reason, and looking at his attitude it did not seem to be friendly.
As expected, Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said, “Of course I’m finding you for something! Since you already passed the Entry Advancement test and became the academy’s Yellow Rank student, why didn’t you report to the General Affairs Department?”
Lu-er was at a loss. She never knew there was such a rule. One
still had to report to the General Affairs Department after becoming the academy’s student?
“Please overlook it, Senior Apprentice Brother. Lu-er has just been admitted, and there are still many things that I don’t know. It’s just, why must I report to the department after becoming a Yellow Rank student?” Lu-er asked neither haughtily nor humbly.
Zheng Heng gave a cold smile and said, “Such a large Dan Wu Academy is accommodating for so many students. Are we just going to sit idle and eat? Since we became the academy’s students, we naturally have to help out in the academy. Hence, all Yellow Rank students who passed the Entry Advancement test have to do one month of miscellaneous tasks. This is the academy’s rule. You became the academy’s student, but instead of learning the academy’s rules properly, you even want other people to help you complete your miscellaneous jobs. Simply shameless!”
This Zhang Heng did not lie. There was really such a rule in the Dan Wu Academy. But it was a little too much to speak to a girl like this.
Furthermore, Lu-er did not neglect work on purpose. She really did not know anything. She had only arrived at the academy for several days, so even if she was absent from work, it was not a big deal.
Zhang Heng was obviously here to find fault.
Lu-er did not feel anything about doing a month of chores. Except, Ye Yuan was currently in a closed-door seclusion. If he exited seclusion and could not find her, he would definitely be worried.
“Can Senior Apprentice Brother allow me to wait for a few days? My young master is currently in a closed-door seclusion, and if he can’t find me when he exits, he will definitely get worried. After my young master leaves seclusion, I will definitely report to the general affairs,” Lu-er requested cautiously.
Who would have thought that Zhang Heng would rage after hearing that. “What a joke! Who do you think your young master is? Is he bigger than the academy’s rules? You’ve already delayed for several days. How many more days do you want to delay? Every new student will be recorded in the books, and they would have the initiative to do their job. Are you the only exception?”
