Ye Qiu left the mountain peak and walked down the Academy's steps, heading straight for the direction of the Star Pavilion.
Along the way, the streets were incredibly noisy, with many people rushing towards the Ye Clan's direction.
The Ye Clan's Young Master ceremony had been announced throughout South Province, creating a massive stir.
Almost everyone of importance in South Capital had been invited to the Ye Clan. Even those without the qualifications to attend the ceremony within the mansion were catered to with a banquet set up outside the Ye Clan's grounds, open to all who came.
Ye Qiu walked against the flow of people, his back to the Ye Clan's direction, appearing out of place.
Soon, he arrived at the Star Pavilion.
It seemed unusually calm today, with very few guests. Even the service staff were discussing matters related to the Ye Clan's ceremony.
Regarding Ye Rudí, they admired and worshipped him, spreading rumors that he possessed the Heavenly King Body, the current favored son of destiny for the Ye Family, with boundless future potential.
Some had even seen him from afar, praising him as dashing and exceptionally handsome.
Upon seeing Ye Qiu, a young girl smiled and said, "He actually looks a bit like that handsome guy."
"Yeah, they really do look alike."
Ye Qiu paid them no mind and walked to a counter, taking out a million and exchanging it all for Demon Beast Spirits.
He threw them to Brother Snake.
Then, he turned to leave.
After a few steps, he turned back, took out another million, and exchanged it for a pill furnace and a set of acupuncture needles. The rest was used to purchase some medicinal herbs and body-refining materials.
Keeping money on him wasn't very safe. He truly felt helpless when it came to Nan Qingyue.
Besides, Brother Snake had said he would teach him medicine and alchemy.
After this ordeal, Ye Qiu became more serious about it. After all, this was in the Academy, where help was available.
What if he were out in the wild?
He still needed to learn some self-rescue measures.
The key was that alchemists held a prestigious status, and alchemists could make money!
By becoming an alchemist, he too could say that a mere million was nothing!
After all, he still owed Wu Xiaokai a full two million!
If his maternal grandfather found out, he'd break his legs!
He had to repay it soon.
After finishing all this, Ye Qiu left the Star Pavilion and returned to Green Moon Mountain. He went straight into his room and sank into his consciousness space.
To study alchemy!
Meanwhile, at the Ye Clan.
The entire Ye Clan had gathered in a massive square, surrounded by the important figures of South Capital.
In the center of the square stood a young man in a purple robe, the true protagonist of the day.
Ye Rudí!
He was tall and slender, with long hair cascading behind him. His features were regular and handsome, bearing a slight resemblance to Ye Qiu.
They shared the same father but had different mothers, showing traces of Ye Jiangshan.
However, his eyes were narrow, and his lips were slightly thin, inheriting some characteristics from his mother.
After the grand ceremony, Ye Jiangshan and Liu Xiu, dressed in their finest attire, walked onto the square and personally crowned Ye Rudí.
The Young Master's Seal, along with a Ye King Sword!
The Ye Family's Ye King Sword!
Legend had it that this purple sword was the personal sword of the Ye King from years ago and was the Ye Family's greatest treasure.
It was even said to contain a wisp of the Ye King's sword intent!
"From today onward, you are the Ye Clan's Young Master. Henceforth, all matters must prioritize the Ye Clan's overall situation!" Ye Jiangshan declared loudly.
Ye Rudí bowed respectfully, "This son understands."
Holding the seal in one hand and the sword in the other.
At this moment, Ye Rudí was exceptionally radiant.
Especially the purple sword in his hand, which naturally emitted a wisp of sword light. Though faint, it was extremely eye-catching.
Was this... Resonance?
At the very least, Ye Rudí seemed to have gained the sword's approval, qualifying him to be its new master.
And in this state of resonance, Ye Rudí's aura gradually spread outwards.
Those around him observed carefully, their gazes slightly narrowing. Even the core disciples from the Academy squinted their eyes.
Ye Rudí had already reached the seventh level of Law Gathering, not inferior to some core disciples. Furthermore, his Heavenly King Body was actually... the Xiantian Sword Body!
Sword Cultivators are already powerful, and the Xiantian Sword Body, born with a wisp of sword energy from Xiantian, is even more so!
This Ye Rudí is absolutely qualified to take a core seat, and might even rank extremely high!
The main thing is, his current age is even younger than Lu Li, who is among the Ten Core.
At this age, with such talent and cultivation, he has a great future ahead of him!
Ye Jiangshan nodded in satisfaction, then looked around. "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my son's enthronement ceremony. Now, you may spar freely..."
At the enthronement ceremonies of the Young Masters from various great families, it's customary to invite people for martial arts exchanges. After all, this is the moment the Young Master is enthroned, and it's natural to showcase all his excellence.
This is also a form of proof.
Proof that he is qualified to hold the position of Young Master!
Of course, no one would be so bored as to find some great experts to deliberately disrupt the event.
After all, this is the Ye Clan. Just think about it, how would you conduct yourself in the future if you disrupted the Young Master's ceremony?
Moreover, Ye Rudí had already revealed his aura earlier. If those who surpassed him, like the top three core members of the Academy, were to step forward now, it would be too obvious a targeting.
Even if they were to participate, they would hold back somewhat, so as not to embarrass either side.
As Ye Jiangshan stepped off the stage, one person stood up and walked towards Ye Rudí.
