Rookie Alchemist

Leaving aside the immense impact the arrival of the Tian She and his family in the Wind Thunder Mountain Range had on Venerable Lei, the master of the Wind Thunder Pavilion ...

After our Protagonist Mo Tang and Xiao Yi Xian reunited, they left Luoshen Ravine and headed towards Ye City in the Pill Region.

Ye City, though named after the Ye Family, is a city nestled amidst Qing Shan waters, and vast grasslands.

The city sits on a plain, surrounded by a lush forest, from which avenues stretch out to the horizon.

After all, the Ye Family was once one of the five great families of the Pill Region, and a family that held the position of Pill Tower Elder. Ye City, in terms of both prosperity and population size, is far superior to ordinary cities in the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, the Ye Family has failed the Pill Tower's assessment several times now, and their qualification for the elder position is about to be stripped away. This has made Ye City a target for many people.

There was just one thing that Mo Tang didn't understand...

So why would the Ye Family, one of the five great families of the Pill Region, and even holding the title of elder in the Pill Tower, send their eldest daughter to the Jia Nan Academy?

Based on what Mo Tang had heard in his previous life and what he had seen in this life, Jia Nan Academy was not even ranked in terms of alchemy... It didn't even have a single Sixth-grade Alchemist!

This is still a far cry from the Ye Family.

It's also possible that Ye Xinlan, the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, was simply a character added forcibly in the original story, purely for the purpose of facilitating the Protagonist Xiao Yan's entry into the Pill Region and the Pill Tower...

Just as Mo Tang San entered Ye City, a fierce argument was taking place in the heart of the Ye City, within the vast manor belonging to the Ye Family.

"You called me here from the Jia Nan Academy in such a hurry just to marry that bastard Cao Dan?!"

The speaker was a woman dressed in blue, and her delicate face was filled with anger as she was questioned in a furious voice.

"I will absolutely not agree to this marriage!"

"Nonsense!"

Inside the council chamber, an elderly man in blue robes frowned.

"You know what the current situation of the family is. The Cao Family is one of the five major families, and it is a perfect match for my Ye Family."

Moreover, Cao Dan is a rare alchemy prodigy in the Cao Family. Marrying him will not only save the Ye Family from the crisis of being removed from the five major families, but will also find you a good family.

Why are you unwilling?

"Even if you really let me marry Cao Dan, do you think that will solve the crisis? The Cao Family is ambitious and has long wanted to swallow up my Ye Family. Do I need to tell you their intentions in proposing this marriage?"

The woman in blue said angrily.

Her words left the old man in blue robes speechless, unsure of what to say next.

A middle-aged man standing nearby, presumably the woman's father, frowned and scolded, "Xin Lan! Don't be rude! How dare you speak to your grandfather like that..."

The woman in blue opened her mouth, but in the end she just snorted and turned her head away.

The old man in blue was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Do you know that if my Ye Family fails the Pill Tower assessment this time, we will truly be expelled from the five great families..."

"Without the protection of the Pill Tower, can my Ye Family still stand in this Pill Region?"

Currently, the strongest member of the Ye Family is this old man in blue robes, the Great Elder Ye Zhong, who is only a Six-Star Dou Zong ...

If this were a place like the Northern Domain of Central Plains, the Ye Family would be considered a family of considerable strength. But in the Central Domain, they wouldn't even qualify as a second-rate family, let alone be able to support such a large city.

Right now, countless people are secretly watching them, waiting for the moment when they completely lose the protection of the Pill Tower. These lurking wolves will pounce on them and devour their flesh and blood!

Upon hearing Ye Zhong's words, Ye Lan, the head of the Ye Family, shook his head with a bitter expression, which made Ye Xinlan's expression freeze.

"But... but... we can think of other ways."

Even Ye Xinlan herself lacked confidence when she said this.

Ye Zhong shook his head slightly at this. If there were other ways, would the Ye Family have come to this point?

Is Ye Zhong blind, unable to see the Cao Family's ambitions?

Seeing this, Ye Xinlan's face also showed some despair, and she murmured, "Is this really the only way..."

Just as the three generations of the Ye Family were in despair, a voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"Of course, there are still ways..."

The sudden sound startled the three of them. Then they were surprised to find that the void in front of them rippled and finally opened a portal. The three figures stepped out of the portal.

To be honest, their entrance was a bit startling to the three members of the Ye Family ...

To be able to open a spatial passage and arrive at the Ye Family's reception hall so easily, even a Dou Zun, someone with lower strength probably couldn't do it.

The three people who were stunned did not see that behind the handsome man and beautiful woman who came out, the handsome uncle in the green robe had a look of despair on his face.

I was ordered by the clan leader to protect you, so why are you doing such despicable things!

Bi Wu is increasingly feeling that he got on the wrong ship by accepting this mission!

As the Great Elder of the Ye Family, Ye Zhong was the first to react. He composed himself, clasped his hands in greeting to Mo Tang San, and asked, "What brings you three to my Ye Family?"

Although it was extremely shameful for someone to break into the family, the Ye Family, in its current state, didn't even dare to resist a powerful figure of this level, so they could only grit their teeth and bear it.

Mo Tang glanced at the three people present, and when he saw Ye Xinlan, his gaze lingered for half a second.

It must be said that the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, who was used as a plot device in the original work, has a very good appearance and figure, otherwise she wouldn't have been targeted by that Cao Dan.

But...

Their strength is a bit lacking!

Among the same generation, the other members of the five major families have all reached the seventh rank or above as alchemists, and their strength is also at the level of Dou Emperor to Dou Zong.

But looking at the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, whether in terms of strength or alchemy level, she is far inferior to them...

Especially in terms of alchemist level, others are already at the seventh rank, while you are only at the Fourth-grade. Isn't the gap a bit too big?

He's really a noob!

Mo Tang shook his head slightly, which made Ye Xinlan instantly feel a slight insult. She wanted to retaliate, but dared not.

Seeing Ye Zhong somewhat ashen, Mo Tang suddenly asked, "Tell me, how many alchemists in your Ye Family can reach the seventh rank now...?"

These words left the three members of the Ye Family bewildered, yet they could sense the disdain in the other person's words, which simultaneously ignited a silent anger within them.
