  Ye Yuan nodded after listening and said, “What is this Thousand Query Wall?”

  “This Thousand Query Wall is one of the Cao Family’s main attraction. Countless alchemists come to Wu Fang City, and many of them come for this Thousand Query Wall . . .” Xu Zihui explained.

  Turns out that in the history of Wu Fang City, the Cao Family had been glorious before too, even producing many generations of city lords. Among them, one of the city lords set up a Thousand Query Wall right in this Wu Fang City. The specific era was already unverifiable.

  The so-called Thousand Query Wall was where alchemists placed their own queries on this wall, offering a reward for other alchemists to come and answer.

  Through so many years’ accumulation, the questions on the Thousand Query Wall were already more than a thousand long ago.

  The questions on the Thousand Query Wall, as long as it was answered, it would be removed from the wall.

  But the queries raised by alchemists were far more than the queries resolved. With the accumulation of months and days, the questions on this Thousand Query Wall was already rather sizable.

  Furthermore, through the countless years of filtering, the difficulty of the questions on the Thousand Query Wall also became increasingly greater. Many of the problems, even peak Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses could not answer them either.

  Challenging the Thousand Query Wall, one first had to pay a certain amount of essence crystals. These essence crystals would belong to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion, which was owned by the Cao Family.

  If answered correctly, the alchemist would be able to take away the reward. If unable to answer, they could naturally only return empty-handed. Even the essence crystals from before were gone too.

  With so many years, the Cao Family relied on this Thousand Query Wall to earn countless riches.

  But even so, there were still countless alchemists advancing wave after wave to come to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion to challenge the Thousand Query Wall.

  One could say that the reason why this Wu Fang City could become the Endless World’s alchemy holy land, this Thousand Query Wall’s contributions could not be forgone!

  Hearing Xu Zihui’s explanation, even Ye Yuan had no choice but to gasp in admiration at that generation’s city lord’s outstanding wisdom and resourcefulness as well.

  Such exchanges absolutely had tremendous advantages towards the heightening of alchemy skills.

  This Thousand Query Wall could be said to be an immensely valuable asset left behind by that generation’s city lord.

  Through so many years, many people who raised the query were no longer around anymore. Those questions naturally become ownerless objects.

  And these questions, each one of it being answered had tremendously important meaning in promoting the development of alchemy skills.

  And the Cao Family guarding such a treasure mountain could actually decline! It could be seen that this Cao Family was really rotten mud that could not even stick to a wall!

  “Want to challenge Thousand Query Wall, one must leave their background on the contract. The contract won’t be publicized. But the Cao Family’s people most likely have ways to see it. If this matter is really Cao Fang playing tricks behind, it’s rather troublesome,” Xu Zihui said worriedly.

  “Looks like that Cao Third Young Master dug a pit for Grand Elder to jump into!Hehe, really thinking my Tranquil Cloud Sect is easy to bully?” Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.

  When Xu Zihui heard Ye Yuan’s tone, he knew that things were not good.

  The upper echelon meeting had yet to begin. Once Ye Yuan had a conflict with the Cao Family, it would probably incur many unnecessary problems.

  “Young Master Ye, how about . . . I still report this matter to City Lord, His Excellency? I think that in consideration of City Lord, His Excellency’s prestige, Cao Fang wouldn’t dare to not give you any face,” Xu Zihui urged.

  Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, “City Lord, His Excellency, has to attend to a myriad of state affairs every day. This kind of minor thing, there’s no need to trouble his elderly self. This matter, I’ll settle it myself! Brother Zihui, bring me to Exquisite Jade Pavilion right now. I want to experience just how incredible this Thousand Query Wall is!”

  As he said, Ye Yuan’s figure moved, directly leaving Feng Ya Pavilion!

  Xu Zihui could not stop in time and could only bemoan and follow after Ye Yuan.

  “I wonder what does this Sir needs? Medicinal pills, weaponry, martial techniques, cultivation methods, our Exquisite Jade Pavilion has everything that one desires.”

  Ye Yuan walked into Exquisite Jade Pavilion slowly. It was really befitting of its name. There was a dazzling array of beautiful exhibits here. It could really be said to have everything that one desires.

  Many things that could not be seen in the outside world, this place basically had it all. It was just that their prices were too outrageous.

  Ye Yuan toured for a bit after entering the door, and a very beautiful female came up to greet him.

  Within the words actually carried a slight bewitching ring.

  Ye Yuan virtually confirmed right away that this woman definitely cultivated bewitching arts before. Furthermore, her attainments were not low.

  Ordinary people who enter would probably succumb to it unknowingly and willingly buy some things to go.

  Ye Yuan’s divine soul was incomparably tempered. How could ordinary bewitching skills enter his all-discerning eyes?

  “I heard that inside this Exquisite Jade Pavilion, the most incredible thing is the Thousand Query Wall. It’s my first visit to Wu Fang City, but I came because of its fame too,” Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.

  When the girl saw that Ye Yuan’s eyes did not have any turbidness at all, she could not help being very surprised.

  Such a young age and actually had such powers of concentration. Presumably, he was not simple!

  This woman had read countless people and virtually saw through Ye Yuan’s uncommonness at first glance.

  “So, Sir wants to challenge the Thousand Query Wall. Ling-er could not tell. This way please, Sir.”

  Ling-er brought Ye Yuan straight to the rear hall. After a few turns, it actually became bright and open.

  An enormous temple was in front of Ye Yuan. And in this huge temple, the most eye-catching were several hundred feet tall racks.

  The shelves had a total of seven levels. On each level, there were many tags sorted into categories.

  However, the further up it went, the lesser the tags on the shelves.

  Very clearly, the further up, the harder the problems that those tags represented.

  Ye Yuan swept simply. On the highest level shelf, there were only a hundred over tags.

  “Miss Ling-er, I wish to challenge this Thousand Query Wall. I wonder if there are any restrictive conditions?” Ye Yuan enquired.

  Ling-er smiled sweetly and said with a thousand charms, “Challenging the Thousand Query Wall doesn’t have restrictions. As long as you have sufficient essence crystals, you can even challenge all of the problems.”

  Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said smilingly, “Then that’s good. I wonder how much essence crystals are required to challenge once?”

  Ling-er said with a smile, “According to the different levels challenged, the fees are not the same as well.”

  “Oh? I wonder how many essence crystals does challenging the seventh level require?” Ye Yuan asked with a smile.

  Ling-er smile could not help freezing. This boy had such a big tone! Opening his mouth and it was the seventh level right away!

  One had to know that those problems on the seventh level were all getting dusty, year in year out. Some problems were even placed there for several thousand years already.

  During these several thousand years’ time, how many Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses had Wu Fang City given birth to?

 
; But not a single one of these Alchemy Sovereign experts could answer those questions. It could be seen just how perverse this seventh level was.

  Although Ye Yuan’s strength was not bad, his age was too young after all. Ling-er did not feel that Ye Yuan could answer the seventh level’s questions.

  “Hehe. It’s not that Ling-er is belittling Sir, but it’s just that the problems on the seventh level are a little too difficult. Sir is at the Sea Transformation Realm. The corresponding ones are the fourth level’s tags. If Sir wishes to challenge the fourth level, it’s 500 middle-grade essence crystals,” Ling-er said with a smile.

  Ye Yuan beamed and said, “I have essence crystals. Miss Ling-er doesn’t have to be courteous with me. I came today just to witness the Thousand Query Wall of the legends. Spending a few essence crystals to experience the most difficult problems, I’m willing to.”

  Ling-er criticized him in her heart. This boy really has too much money with nowhere to spend, in a flurry to burn!

  But on the surface, Ling-er would not say it out. Deceiving a person on account of his generosity to spend unnecessary money, she would be more than willing to take them.

  Furthermore, Ling-er knew that while such extravagant wealthy people were rare, there were still that one or two who appear every period of time.

  “The further up, it naturally becomes more expensive. But the rewards are even more plentiful as well. If it’s the seventh level, 100 high-grade essence crystals per tag!” Ling-er said.

  Even for Ye Yuan, his face changed when he heard it too.

  The fourth level was 500 middle-grade essence crystals, which was also five pieces of high-grade essence crystals. But, at the seventh level, the prices actually flipped twenty times over!

  This was simply robbing essence crystals!

  No wonder Xu Zihui said that the Cao Family was wealthy until they flowed like water. Such fees, it was hard to not be wealthy!

  He just won 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals from Ren Dong there. Adding it up, it was also just enough to exchange for ten tags. It was really such a scam.

  Seeing Ye Yuan’s expression, Ling-er was contemptuous in her heart.

  A bumpkin from the countryside. Scared silly by the price already, right?

  100 high-grade essence crystals was not a small sum. Using it to take a look at the seventh level’s problems was truly a bit too wasteful.

  But Ling-er had really seen before people throwing out money just for the sake of taking a look at the seventh level’s problems.

  But very clearly, this boy before her eyes did not have that level of strength.

  “Hehe. I see that Sir is a man of striking appearance. Maybe you can really resolve the seventh level’s problems? How about you exchange for two to give it a shot?”

  Ling-er’s words sounded like flattery. Actually, it was a mockery.

  Although Ling-er felt that Ye Yuan was not ordinary, conversing to this extent, she already placed Ye Yuan in the ranks of morons.

  Maybe only morons would have no reaction to her bewitching arts, right?

  How could Ye Yuan not perceive the meaning in Ling-er’s words? But he really did not care.

  “If I answer the question, can I exchange for the reward on the spot?” Ye Yuan asked again.

  Hehe, this boy is an idiot, right? Really think that you could answer the seventh level’s questions?

  But a wealthy fool, not earning from you would be a waste!

  Straight away, Ling-er smiled sweetly and said, “That is of course. The owners of the questions deposited the rewards with our Exquisite Jade Pavilion. As long as people can answer the question, the rewards will be theirs.”

  Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, “Then that’s good. Give me ten tags first then.”

  As he said, Ye Yuan casually threw out the storage ring he won from Ren Dong.

  “T-Ten? That’s a thousand high-grade essence crystals!”

  Ling-er’s brain was a little short-circuited. She had seen before alchemists who spent money just for the sake of taking a look at the seventh level’s problems. But she had never encountered a customer who opened their mouths to ask for ten tags right away.

  Wasn’t such a way of burning money too profligate?

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, “The essence crystals in this storage ring when added up should be around one thousand high-grade essence crystals. You can do an inventory check.”

  Ling-er inserted her divine sense into it and briefly did a count. Indeed, it was a thousand high-grade essence crystals.

  Ling-er could not help drawing a cold breath and thought to herself:Extravagant . This was really extravagant.

  Earning a thousand high-grade essence crystals in one go, the commission today was not small. Ling-er gloated to herself endlessly in her heart too.

  Ling-er beamed widely and said, “Sir indeed carries yourself in an imposing manner. Come over here first to register your alchemist badge, then you can choose the tags.”

  Ye Yuan nodded and followed Ling-er to one side to register.

  When she saw Ye Yuan take out the high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King badge, Ling-er expression could not help becoming stiff once more.

  Such a young high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King?

  Ye Yuan finished registering, and he seemed to have thought of something. He said to Ling-er with a smile, “Oh, right, forgot to tell you. Hurry up and notify the Exquisite Jade Pavilion’s manager to let him prepare a bit more essence crystals. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you all won’t have enough to pay in a while.”

  Ling-er gave Ye Yuan a strange look with her eyes. Now, she finally confirmed that this person was a moron.

  Or perhaps, this Ye Yuan was an impetuous person who did not understand the other person’s meaning!

  On the seventh level, over half were questions left behind for a thousand years.

  The other half questions were also left by some top alchemy path powerhouses within a thousand years.

  Without having peak Alchemy Sovereign strength and realm, it was simply impossible to resolve!

  This boy in front was merely 16 or 17 years of age. Putting aside resolving it, whether he could understand them or not was also an issue.

  Prepare essence crystals?

  You have got to be kidding!

  These one thousand high-grade essence crystals, Big Sister will accept it in your place!

  All of a sudden, the expression of the staff responsible for registration changed and gave Ling-er a look.

  Ling-er understood and moved closer.

  “You look, this boy and that old fellow are from the same sect!”

  Skymaple’s matters had just died down. The Exquisite Jade Pavilion was very sensitive to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, these three words. Hence, that staff noticed something wrong right away.

  When Ling-er checked, Ye Yuan’s background was indeed the Tranquil Cloud Sect.

  With this, Ling-er was even more filled with disdain in her heart. Even the Alchemy King was taken care of, what could a Sea Transformation Realm brat do?

  Ling-er shot that staff a look. The staff understood and left. But Ling-er herself came in front of Ye Yuan in all smiles.

  “I wonder which tags sir is going to choose? There are a total of 136 tags on the seventh level, from No.1 to No.136. No.1 is the question left on the Thousand Query Wall for the longest time, and also the question universally acknowledged to have the greatest difficulty. The most recent one is No.136. It’s already five years since then and was issued by the Alchemist Association’s Chairman, Lord Dan Chenzi. The reward is 1500 high-grade essence crystals!” Ling-er explained to Ye Yuan with a smile.

  Ling-er’s and that staff’s behaviors, Ye Yuan noticed it all. But Ye Yuan pretended to not know.

  “Like that huh? Doesn’t that mean that the tags closer to the front, the greater the reward money?” Ye Yuan asked curiously.

  “
That’s how it is! The reward for the No.1 tag has already reached a sum of 5 million high-grade essence crystals to this date! This is an astronomical figure to martial artists! It’s just . . . the No.1 tag has already been there for several thousand years, but nobody could crack it all these while,” Ling-er said smilingly.

  Ling-er was incredibly disdainful in her heart. It was really a toad lusting after a swan’s meat!

  Since ancient times, how many major powers wished to crack the problem in the No.1 tag. Among them, there was no shortage of some major powers who ascended to the Divine Realm.

  But up until today, the No.1 tag still was on the rack quietly.

  How could wanting to crack the No.1 tag be that easy?

  Ye Yuan nodded slightly when he heard and said, “Then give me tags No.126 to No.136 first. I’ll solve them for fun first.”

  For fun?

  Hehe, don’t snivel in a while!

  Brat still wet behind your years, to actually dare run to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion to act wildly!

  These one thousand high-grade essence crystals are probably not a small sum to your sect as well, right?

  Ling-er started gloating at others’ misfortune inwardly.

  Ever since she knew Ye Yuan’s identity, Ling-er was unwilling to give even the tiniest bit of favorable impression towards Ye Yuan.

  Before long, there was a staff who took down the last ten tags from the seventh rack and presented it before Ye Yuan.

  And this action caused a considerable stir as well.

  This main hall was very large and could accommodate up to ten thousand people. And the alchemists present at the scene was probably in the thousands as well.

  Furthermore, those who dare to come to the Thousand Query Wall for a challenge were mostly arrogant at heart and haughty in manner too; they were people with some strength to begin with.

  Of course, these people would pick the tags corresponding to their own strength.

  On the tags would have a summary of the corresponding problem. These alchemists would all select problems according to these summaries.

  Nobody dared to be like Ye Yuan, crossing levels to challenge problems. After all, anyone’s essence crystals were not cabbages too, to simply use to throw at the Exquisite Jade Pavilion.
