The young man wore white, his bearing utterly refined.
His features were fresh and clean, too.
But what drew the eye even more was his imposing air, the kind that commanded respect without a word.
Simply sitting there, he seemed to be the center of the entire world.
As though everything else had faded into insignificance.
Pill Elder took it as ordinary praise and chimed in, "Indeed. To stand out in the Southern Territory and even refine ten Star Treasure Pills from just two sets of ingredients—his talent is hardly any lesser than the Immortal Venerable's was in his day."
The young man seemed neither to agree nor disagree.
How extraordinary his talent had been back then. He could absolutely be called one of the finest in the Mortal World.
Yet it seemed that more and more people were being compared to him.
Nearly every Grand Competition's champion was measured against him and his achievements. But those geniuses came and went, and at the end of the road, there was always only him.
There was a certain sadness in that.
He had personally organized the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's Alchemist Convention, hoping to give those geniuses a chance to shine.
Of course, if they eventually joined the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, all the better.
Even if they didn't join, spending money to make a bit of noise wasn't a big deal.
Still, he felt there was some mystery surrounding this person.
If it were only his talent for Alchemy, he wouldn't warrant so much attention.
Talent was only talent, after all.
If it couldn't be put to use, then much of the time it didn't amount to much.
As for Chu Huangyue, they had learned more detailed information about her, so she interested him more.
Calling someone extraordinary was merely a compliment.
