Xiao Yan: Brother Yang, You're a Fifth-grade Alchemist?

Black Rock City was a major city in the Eastern Region of the Monster Mountain Range, with every kind of facility fully established.

Compared to Wutan City's mysterious city lord, Black Rock City's city lord, Lin Fei's father, was a genuine Dou Wang. Though he was only a One-star Dou Wang, he was undoubtedly a local powerhouse in Black Rock City.

Black Rock City also possessed a complete Alchemist Guild. Its president and vice president were both authentic Fourth-grade Alchemists. In the Jia Ma Empire, they already belonged to the people standing at the peak of the pyramid.

After all, the entire Jia Ma Empire only had one Sixth-grade Alchemist, Gu He, and one Fifth-grade Alchemist, Fa Ma.

Whoosh!

In the sky, Chen Yang spread his Dou Qi Transformation Wings, while Xiao Yi Xian unfurled the Purple Cloud Wings Chen Yang had given her some time ago. The two flew directly into Black Rock City from above.

Keeping a low profile?

That simply did not exist.

Another month had passed. Chen Yang was now at the peak of Eight-star Dou Huang, only one step away from Nine-star Dou Huang. So long as Yun Shan did not appear, even if Jia Xing Tian came, he would have to kneel before Chen Yang and his various Earth-tier Cultivation Methods and Earth-tier Dou Skills.

Whoosh!

Inside the City Lord's Manor, Lin Li sensed a powerful aura sweeping through the sky. He hurried outside and flew into the air, only to come face-to-face with Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian.

"What a handsome Young Man!"

Lin Fei's father did not even look at Xiao Yi Xian. Though he had never seen a Flying Dou Technique before, Xiao Yi Xian's One-star Da Dou Shi aura was obvious enough. Compared to her, this handsome Young Man was the one who made him feel immense pressure.

"Friend, I am Lin Li, the city lord of Black Rock City!" Lin Li stopped in midair and cupped his hands toward Chen Yang.

"Greetings, City Lord. However, This Emperor does not enjoy disturbing others. If you have business to attend to, City Lord, please go ahead." Chen Yang returned the gesture with a smile.

This Emperor? This Young Man is actually a Dou Huang? Lin Li's face filled with shock. He suspected Chen Yang might be lying, but the oppressive pressure radiating from him was undeniably real.

"Please do as you wish, sir. If you need any help, Lin Li will certainly do his utmost." To earn the friendship of such a young Dou Huang, being a little humble was a bargain no matter how Lin Li looked at it.

"Easy enough, easy enough!" Chen Yang cupped his hands at Lin Li once more. After returning his smile, he took Xiao Yi Xian and turned into a streak of light, vanishing into the sky.

By then, the people on the ground had already erupted into discussion.

A mysterious Dou Wang had arrived in Black Rock City. Even though Black Rock City was a major city in the Jia Ma Empire, that was still the kind of anecdote people could discuss for days!

After landing, Chen Yang took Xiao Yi Xian to a fine inn and rented out a Small Courtyard for two months.

"Husband, are we going to stay in Black Rock City for so long?" When they entered the Small Courtyard, the servants had already cleaned it until it was spotless.

As Xiao Yi Xian scattered some insect-repelling medicine across the ground, she asked Chen Yang.

"Is this the first time you've called me Husband?" Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yi Xian and asked with a smile.

"We're away from home, so of course I have to give my Husband some face..." Xiao Yi Xian chuckled, then went to inspect the bed. Once she found it sturdy, she Nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Yang smiled at Xiao Yi Xian's actions. He used surging Dou Qi to clean the teacups, poured them each a cup of tea, and slowly said, "We may not necessarily stay in Black Rock City that long, but we'll be here for more than a month."

Xiao Yi Xian Nodded. She was merely curious, not questioning Chen Yang's decision.

Besides, she had said it herself: wherever Chen Yang was, that was home. Though this Small Courtyard belonged to an inn, it was far better than the rear courtyard of Myriad Medicine Pavilion in Qingshan Town.

"Just settle down here and cultivate with peace of mind!"

"The Medicinal Materials in the city may not be as fresh as those in the Monster Mountain Range, but there are more complete varieties here. There is also an Alchemist Guild. Later, I'll look around and refine every Poison Pill I know how to make for you."

Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Husband!"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled sweetly, stepped forward, and planted a loud kiss on Chen Yang's cheek. She was no different from a little girl in love.

"Yes, my wife!"

In the days that followed, Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian settled down in Black Rock City. Every day, they cultivated, strolled around, refined medicine, and went riding.

Their days were exceedingly fulfilling.

Sometimes, Chen Yang would leave Black Rock City with Xiao Yi Xian to visit the Amethyst Winged Lion King outside.

For the time being, Chen Yang had not found a way to make the Amethyst Winged Lion King and her child smaller, which was rather troublesome.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, a month and a half had gone by.

That day, after Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian finished riding again, the System Prompt suddenly rang out in his mind:

[Ding!]

[Detected that Frank is currently the highest-ranked Alchemist in Wutan City, at Fourth-grade Alchemist level. Host's Alchemist level has been raised to Fifth-grade Alchemist!]

In an instant, an enormous amount of information appeared in Chen Yang's mind. His hands itched as they underwent changes as well.

This information did not cause Chen Yang any harm. Instead, it was like unlocking an innate skill, instantly turning him into the most formidable Fifth-grade Alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Xiao Yan really was late. He dawdled for over a month before arriving in Black Rock City."

Chen Yang shook his head and did not concern himself with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan would continue lingering in Black Rock City for a few more days. Chen Yang could meet him afterward.

The Next Day, Chen Yang brought Xiao Yi Xian all the way to the Alchemist Guild.

This was not Chen Yang's first visit to Black Rock City's Alchemist Guild. When the Attendant saw Chen Yang arrive, he hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"Master, another batch of new Medicinal Materials arrived today. Master Frank instructed us to reserve them all for you!"

The Attendant looked at Chen Yang with great respect.

A few days ago, when Chen Yang had come to browse the Alchemist Guild, he had naturally been stopped by the Big Man at the entrance. Chen Yang then displayed the abilities of a Fourth-grade Alchemist and exchanged pointers with Frank and Otto. Though he was not wearing an Alchemist robe now, he had become a familiar face in Black Rock City's Alchemist Guild.

"Is there an Alchemist assessment today?" Chen Yang Nodded and asked.

"Sir, you truly can foresee the future. Today, the disciples of President Frank and Master Otto will both be taking the First-grade Alchemist assessment!"

The Attendant replied with a smile.

"Has it started?"

Chen Yang continued asking.

"Not yet. Neither Miss has arrived!"

The Attendant answered respectfully.

Just then, the Big Man's voice suddenly rang out from the entrance. "Little Brother, this is the Alchemist Guild. You want to enter? Do you have a letter of introduction from your own mentor?"

Chen Yang turned his head and saw Xiao Yan, dressed in a fitted black outfit with the Heavy Black Ruler on his back, being stopped at the entrance.

"That Little Brother is my friend. Let him in!"

Just as Xiao Yan looked embarrassed and prepared to touch his nose, Chen Yang called out loudly.

"Huh?"

"Brother Yang?"

Xiao Yan raised his head toward the source of the voice and saw Chen Yang holding the hand of a young girl with an incredibly slender waist.

"So you know Master Chen Yang, Little Brother? Please come in, come in!"

The Big Man at the entrance immediately did a complete one-eighty and hurriedly allowed Xiao Yan inside.

"Uh..."

"Thanks!"

Xiao Yan ultimately still touched his nose before walking into the Alchemist Guild and approaching Chen Yang.

Seeing this, the Attendant tactfully moved farther away, though he did not leave.

"Brother Yang, when did you arrive in Black Rock City?"

Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang and asked curiously.

As for Xiao Yi Xian, whom Chen Yang was holding by the hand, Xiao Yan did not find it strange at all.

The man was already a Dou Huang at such a young age. Wasn't he allowed to have a few beauties by his side?

"I've been here for a while. Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Yi Xian, your Sister-in-law!"

"Xiao Yan, a Little Brother of mine!"

Chen Yang introduced the two to each other.

"Xiao Yi Xian?"

"You're Xiao Yi Xian from Myriad Medicine Pavilion in Qingshan Town?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yi Xian and instantly remembered who she was.

"Hello!"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled and Nodded at Xiao Yan.

"Hello, Sister-in-law!"

Xiao Yan came to his senses and scratched his head. That single form of address made Xiao Yi Xian blush furiously.

"Not bad. Three-Star Da Dou Shi. It seems you haven't slacked off in your cultivation during this time."

"I suppose your Alchemy has reached the third grade too?"

Chen Yang swept his gaze over Xiao Yan and Nodded.

"I just got lucky!"

"I have Brother Yang to thank for it!"

Xiao Yan reached up to touch his nose again and smiled.

"Hahaha..."

Hearing that familiar word, lucky, Chen Yang reached out and patted Lucky Brother on the shoulder.

"Brother Yang, I'm already a Third-grade Alchemist now. If your Alchemy doesn't break through soon, I'll catch up to you."

Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang and smiled.

"Then take your time catching up. I'm already Fifth-grade."

Chen Yang smacked his lips, turned around while holding Xiao Yi Xian's hand, and signaled to the Attendant. The Attendant hurried forward to lead the way.

"What?"

"Brother Yang, you're already a Fifth-grade Alchemist?"

Xiao Yan was utterly shocked...
