Yang Shan put on the Flame Refining Garment in front of Ya Fei.

Yang Shan is essentially a rather low-key person.

He's usually unwilling to put on airs unless the situation is one he can easily control.

The bright red suede coat really didn't suit him.

The Fire Cloud Garment is made from the skin of the Fire Cloud Leopard.

This Flame Refining Garment is not only made from the hide of Fire Attribute magical beasts, but it also serves as a tool for alchemy!

That's a standard success rate of 2%! Ya Fei even took the initiative to straighten Yang Shan's collar. "Hmm, Young Master Yang is indeed handsome!"

Look how well he speaks the truth! Unlike Mei Yangyang, who talks nonsense all day long, saying things like, "Lin Xiuya, did Xiao Xun'er even glance at Lin Xiuya?"

Ya Fei: "Young Master Yang, do you know why I made this dress for you?"

Yang Shan: "The Alchemist Convention?"

Ya Fei: "Young Master Yang really can guess everything."

Yang Shan didn't guess.

In the final stage of version 1.2, the Gama Holy City will host the biennial Alchemist Convention.

Alchemist from all over the empire will come to participate in the competition.

This Alchemist Convention has an even deeper plan!

That is the "bait".

The Azure Cloud Association Soul Body has been thoroughly investigated.

Alchemist generally possess higher Soul Strength than ordinary people, which is why the Azure Cloud Association especially enjoys causing trouble for Alchemist.

So, gather all the Alchemist in the empire together in one place.

Can Azure Cloud Association hold back?

Yang Shan remembered his past life. The number one Alchemist in the entire server had amazed everyone at the Alchemist Convention! They had eaten and drunk.

It's about time we all went home.

They couldn't possibly take Ya Fei to their own courtyard for a "second half".

Ya Fei did not show any dissatisfaction.

She knew that Yang Shan was a "very busy person".

Being able to treat her to a meal as soon as he returned to the Gama Holy City was enough to make Ya Fei happy for a long time.

Sensible women are often more likely to be favored by men.

Unlike Nalan Yanran, she's quite good!

That Yang Shan is such a jerk! He just had dinner with Ya Fei.

He turned around and headed to the Misty Cloud Sect to find Nalan Yanran! Of course, his real intention was something else entirely.

Yang Shan's apparent purpose was to go find Nalan Yanran.

Actually, he hoped to meet Yun Yun Yun and obtain a prescription from her.

The fifth-grade top-tier elixir— the Spirit Marrow Pill!

A fifth-grade Attribute Pill!

The recipe for this Spirit Marrow Pill is not even available in the Alchemist Guild!

Only the Imperial Family and the Misty Cloud Sect preserved them.

Yang Shan had no connection with the Imperial Family, so he could only turn to the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yang Shan will definitely attend this Alchemist Convention.

Without the Spirit Marrow Pill, Yang Shan felt that he would have a hard time competing with the number one Alchemist in the entire server in his previous life! This was Yang Shan's first time visiting the Misty Cloud Sect in this life.

Honestly, the scenery at the Misty Cloud Sect is really beautiful.

It truly has the momentum of a cultivation sect.

At the entrance of the Misty Cloud Sect, four disciples dressed in the sect's training robes stood ramrod straight! Upon seeing Yang Shan arrive, they politely clasped their hands in greeting:

"May I ask, sir, what brings you to the Misty Cloud Sect? Without prior notification, the Misty Cloud Sect generally prohibits outsiders from entering. Please forgive us."

Yang Shan: "Oh, it's okay, no need to report it. Someone will come to pick me up and take me up the mountain in a little while."

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.

The other party was so nonchalant.

Could he be some important person?

Yang Shan knew, of course, that it was not easy to enter the Misty Cloud Sect.

But he has an undercover agent!

Ten minutes ago, he sent a message to Ye Suifeng.

As a strategic partner, it shouldn't be a big problem to have Ye Suifeng run an errand.

Upon receiving the news, Ye Suifeng arrived at the private courtyard of the True Inheritor Disciple Nalan Yanran, cursing all the way.

"What? Young Master Yang is back?"

After saying thank you, Nalan Yanran ran off immediately.

Ye Suifeng returned to the inner sect, cursing all the way.

Of the male players who join the Misty Cloud Sect, 20% want to woo Nalan Yanran, 20% want to emulate Xiao Yan and slap Nalan Yanran in the face, 20% want to woo Yun Yun, and 40% want to woo both Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun! But in reality, not many players have actually met Nalan Yanran yet.

Yet this beautiful Eldest Sister, whom other players could not touch, was so overjoyed that she took the initiative to run outside the sect to greet one person.

They're both playing Battle Through the Heavens, so how come there's such a big difference?

To save time, Nalan Yanran even used her movement techniques.

We drove all the way from the peak to the mountainside.

"Young Master Yang! Young Master Yang!"

The four gatekeepers turned around and looked.

I almost went blind.

Eldest Sister the True Disciples! This man in the flashy red suede coat was actually personally greeted by the Eldest Sister and the second most beautiful woman in the Misty Cloud Sect! (The first is Yun Yun.) Just who is he? Yang Shan: "Hmm, I just got back. I brought some good food. I'd like to invite you to dinner."

Indeed, I just got back.

After all, we only arrived in Gama Holy City today.

Even if you treated Ya Fei to a meal first, it doesn't conflict with "just arrived"! The art of speaking! Nalan Yanran has 37 points of favorability towards Yang Shan, and Nalan Yanran has always been the one taking the initiative.

Now Yang Shan has finally taken the initiative to ask her to have dinner.

Of course I'm happy.

This is the power of sincerity to move Jin Shi!

Although Mu Zhan, who was kicked away earlier, thought the same thing, Nalan Yanran also talked a lot with Yang Shan along the way.

Yang Shan also made a very natural and reasonable suggestion. "The food I brought this time is some spiritual fruits that I found deep in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, as well as the meat of the Fourth Order Thousand Beast King Scarlet Serpent. It tastes very good. Why don't you let Senior Yun Yun have some too?"

Nalan Yanran thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Master must be a little tired from her seclusion during this period of cultivation. She often talks about you to me, saying that you must have gained a lot from this experience. Hey, Young Master Yang, how about we have a bet after dinner?"

Yang Shan: "Yes, I'd be happy to oblige."

Yang Shan always treated people who gave him money very well.

Just like how online novel authors treat handsome, generous subscribers! Nalan Yanran led Yang Shan to her usual courtyard in the Misty Cloud Sect, and then said:

"Young Master Yang, my master has been in seclusion recently, so I have to wait outside. You may have to wait a while."

Yang Shan: "It's alright, I'll just refine some pills to pass the time."

Nalan Yanran said admiringly, "No wonder Young Master Yang is so strong, he really never relaxes for a moment."

Of course we can't let our guard down! Yun Yun arrived and saw him practicing Fifth-grade Pill, so it was only natural for her to ask for the pill formula!

We can't really expect Yun Yun's 15 points of favorability to obediently hand over the top-grade fifth-rank pill formula.

Yang Shan refined three batches of the Aura Concealing Pill.

This thing is arguably the most difficult to make among auxiliary pills.

The success rate of the Fifth Grade Aura Concealing Pill is only 30%.

The Scarlet Serpent Flame only increases the success rate of Fifth-grade Pill by 8%. Even with the addition of the Soul Strength of Mortal Realm Perfection, the basic success rate is only about 35%.

Yang Shan's character was rather poor this time.

All three attempts to refine the material failed.

Fortunately, the fourth attempt was successful! Not only was the success rate low, but only three pieces were produced each time.

Yang Shan's gaze had just left the mini-game when he saw Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran.

The two of them stood aside watching him without saying a word.

Yang Shan: "I'll get shy if you all look at me like that."

Yun Yun was just about to praise Yang Shan when she was rendered speechless by his words.

Nalan Yanran giggled incessantly. "Does Young Master Yang also get shy?"

Nalan Yanran was somewhat anxious:

"Young Master Yang, let's eat first. After we eat, we can have another match."

"There's no need to fight anymore."

Yun Yun looked at Yang Shan, her eyes revealing admiration:

"Yanran, the gap between you and Little Friend Yang Shan has widened even further."

"Ah?"

Nalan Yanran was somewhat bewildered:

"Master, how can we know the difference in skill if we don't fight?"

Yun Yun: "He has Eight Star Dou Ling."

Nalan Yanran: "."

Nalan Yanran has been putting in a lot of effort into her cultivation lately.

His level has increased from Four-Star Dou Ling to Six-Star Dou Ling! This speed is already outrageous.

But Yang Shan is a scoundrel! He's using the Dou Wang skill to gain experience! Nalan Yanran recalled their last bet.

Yang Shan is Two-Star Dou Ling, and she is Four-Star Dou Ling.

Two stars less.

Yang Shan now Eight Star Dou Ling, while she is Six-Star Dou Ling.

It's also two stars lower.

Nalan Yanran was completely devastated! Yun Yun was also quite helpless.

Could we possibly blame Yang Shan for his cultivation advancing too quickly? Yang Shan asked tentatively:

"How about we eat first?"

During the meal, Nalan Yanran was clearly not in high spirits.

But Yang Shan is shameless and has many tricks up his sleeve.

The sentence, "Actually, my talent isn't much higher than yours; it's just that I've had more fortuitous encounters lately! For example, a while ago, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range..."

Yang Shan immediately made up a series of "stories".

Entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, encountering certain monsters, falling off a cliff, finding the inheritance of some powerful figure, then going into seclusion to cultivate, and taking some kind of medicine—basically, just making up the experiences of the original protagonist Xiao Yan in the Magical Beast Mountain Range! That dramatic "plot" directly diverted Nalan Yanran's attention.

Yun Yun felt a pang of heartache as she watched Nalan Yanran's mood gradually improve.

Yang Shan's appearance truly shattered everything that Nalan Yanran had once been proud of.

"Perhaps it's time to try some other methods to unleash Yanran's potential."

Yun Yun thought of a sixth-tier ferocious beast in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. "Senior Yun Yun, actually, I have a selfish reason for coming here this time. I heard from Patriarch Mitier that the Misty Cloud Sect has the recipe for the Spirit Marrow Pill."

Yun Yun suddenly realized. "I knew it. You've already become Fifth Grade Alchemist, so naturally you'd want this pill formula."

Yang Shan: "This junior will certainly offer something of equal or even higher value in exchange. I beg Senior Yun Yun to grant my request."

"It's just a pill formula. As long as you don't spread it, I can give it to you. But I don't need anything for the time being."

Yun Yun thought for a moment, then continued:

"Recently, the Azure Cloud Association making frequent moves. If you can capture a Azure Cloud Association Dou Wang alive, you can take the recipe for the Spirit Marrow Pill."

Nalan Yanran: "Master, capturing Dou Wang alive, this..."

Yang Shan: "Alright, this junior agrees!"

Specialized outputs are generally very difficult to obtain.

Especially since this version of the Spirit Marrow Pill recipe should never have been obtained by players in the first place.

It's extremely difficult, as expected.

Other players shook their heads when they heard the words "Dou Wang".

But Yang Shan was different.

This guy has killed almost twenty Dou Wang!

Yun Yun originally only wanted to test Yang Shan's current strength and weakness.

As Dou Huang expert, it's not appropriate for Yang Shan to have to fight her personally.

I never expected Yang Shan to agree so readily!

Yun Yun had already made up her mind:

"If Yang Shan can capture a Dou Wang alive, then we absolutely must go find that Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

After the meal, Yang Shan left quite casually.

On the way down the mountain, Yang Shan opened the group chat and sent a message to his three loyal employees. "Our company's first all-staff operation is about to begin!"
