Pill King Gu He

"Master Fa Ma, Master Gu He, Old Man Jie."

The three who arrived were Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Association; Gu He, Grade Six Alchemist; and Na Lan Yan Ran's grandfather, Na Lan Jie.

Fa Ma looked at the group of people flying towards them, and a smile appeared on his aged face.

"You guys are here too?"

Na Lan Jie, who was standing next to him, looked at the group of people in front of him and said, "Old Man Mu Chen, I didn't expect you to get here so fast. You arrived before us. So, have you figured out what caused this commotion?"

Mu Chen, the head of the Mu Family, one of the Three Great Families in the Imperial Capital, was accompanied by Mitel Tengshan, the Clan Leader of the Mittel Family, and a Provincial Dou King who was staying in the Imperial Capital on business.

Upon hearing Na Lan Jie's question, Mu Chen chuckled and said:

"We didn't arrive much earlier, but we've definitely figured out what happened. I believe Master Fa Ma and Master Gu He, as Alchemist, have also figured it out, right?"

Having remained silent, Gu He, who was sensing the light from a distance, nodded upon hearing this and said:

"This is Heaven and Earth Anomaly that usually occurs when the highest- Sixth Tier pill is successfully refined. I'm not mistaken, Master Fa Ma should know it too."

"Hmm." Fa Ma nodded slowly and said, "Even you, Gu He, would find it difficult to refine pills of this grade, right? When did Alchemist of this grade, especially Alchemist with Heavenly Flames, appear in this Jia Ma Country?"

The last sentence was left unsaid by Fa Ma. As Alchemist, he was extremely sensitive to flames, and just like Gu He, he had released his Soul Power to investigate the situation over there.

Besides the energy fluctuations of the light pillar, he also sensed a fiery Aura far more violent than the Beast Flame.

Having spent his Subflame, he could say with absolute certainty that this violent Aura was definitely Heavenly Flames, and he believed that Gu He had sensed it as well.

Just like him, she didn't say it out loud.

"I really can't refine pills of this grade," Gu He said with a wry smile, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

He had indeed sensed the Heavenly Flames. Over the years, he had traveled to countless strange places in search of Heavenly Flames, but he never expected that his first encounter with it would be in someone else's hands.

"Grade Six Alchemist? I received news a few days ago that Master Xiao Ming of Wu Tan City has already reached the Sixth Rank. Could it be that he is refining pills for the Imperial Family?" Mitel Teng Shan speculated.

This is actually quite easy to guess. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, only Gu He and Xiao Ming, who had just returned to the Jia Ma Empire, were Sixth Rank.

Gu He is right beside them now, so it goes without saying who the other one is.

While it's possible that the Alchemist was from another country and was just passing through, the likelihood of that is extremely low.

A few days ago, his granddaughter Na Lan Yan Ran came home and told him about the annulment of the engagement at the Xiao Family.

Therefore, when Na Lan Jie heard that the Alchemist might be Xiao Ming, his expression visibly stiffened.

Before he could say anything, Mu Chen beside him said, "Stop guessing, Elder Jia is here."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xingtian, dressed in a white linen robe, flew over from a distance at lightning speed, stopping just before he got close.

"Elder Jia."

Na Lan Jie Mu Chen and the others quickly bowed to Jia Xingtian, while only Fa Ma Gu He and the other two did not make any movements, but simply nodded slightly as a greeting.

"I didn't expect to have alerted you all."

Jia Xingtian first smiled and nodded to Na Lan Jie and the others, then greeted Fa Ma and Gu He, saying, "Old Man Fa, Master Gu He."

Gu Zhen

"Old man, this commotion is the unusual phenomenon of Sixth Rank pill being born, isn't it? We were just discussing which Alchemy Master this is. You've come at the right time, tell us, which master is this?"

The one who spoke was Fa Ma. He was the only one among these people who was of the same generation as Jia Xingtian, and he was also Dou Emperor. In addition, he had known Jia Xingtian for many years, so he was not as reserved as Na Lan Jie and the others.

Mu Chen and the others quietly pricked up their ears upon hearing this, Gu He also looked at Jia Xingtian with curiosity.

Seeing their curious expressions, Jia Xingtian figured it wasn't anything to keep secret, so he didn't keep them in suspense and said with a smile:

"You should have heard of this master; he is Master Xiao Ming of the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City."

Upon hearing this, Mitel Teng Shan and the others secretly thought to themselves, "As expected," they hadn't guessed wrong.

Fa Ma's eyes showed curiosity.

"We naturally know about the monstrous Xiao Ming Jia Ma, whose fame has spread far and wide. Old man, this pill looks like it's almost finished being refined. I wonder if you could introduce us to him?"

"This..." Jia Xingtian hesitated. He didn't know if Xiao Ming would like to see these people, but these people probably just wanted to befriend Xiao Ming.

It's unlikely that they'll anger Xiao Ming. Fa Ma has known him for many years, so this is just an introduction and nothing more. Besides, even without him, it would be very easy for Fa Ma and the others to visit Xiao Ming.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Jia Xingtian nodded and said.

"Alright, come with me."

With that, Jia Xingtian led the group of people in the sky and flew towards the direction where Xiao Ming was.

After they arrived, they all landed on a nearby rooftop.

Sensing the commotion, Zi Yan appeared on the roof in a flash. When she realized that one of the people was the old man she had seen a few days ago, she lowered her guard.

Zi Yan's appearance attracted the attention of Jia Xingtian and others.

Especially Na Lan Jie and the other few Dou Wang, they exchanged glances, all very surprised. This little girl was incredibly fast! They hadn't even had time to react when she appeared!

Before they could think about it further, they noticed that the pillar of light shooting straight into the sky was gradually fading.

A rich fragrance of cinnabar spread out as the pillar of light dimmed.

The beam of light grew fainter and fainter, until finally it completely dissipated into a shower of tiny specks of light...

As the pillar of light completely dissipated, a ball of light the size of a thumb appeared under the gaze of many eyes.

As soon as the ball of light appeared, its radiance suddenly increased, and its form moved as if it were trying to escape from the sky.

However, just as its light intensified, a cold snort suddenly rang out from the room below, followed by a sudden surge of suction!

Under that fierce suction force, the ball of light also began to sway erratically.

After a brief standoff, under the watchful eyes of several people, they finally slipped back, disappeared into the room, and vanished from sight.

"The pill is successfully refined!" Jia Xingtian's face lit up with joy. He leaped onto the ground below and eagerly entered the room containing the secret chamber.

Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian, and the others exchanged glances and followed suit.

As they entered the room, they saw the door to a secret chamber open, from which emerged a somewhat tired-looking young man.

The boy was still holding a Jade Bottle in his hand, which was clearly the elixir that had just appeared in their sight.
