Eighth-Rank Alchemist! Everyone's Expressions Changed

Northwest Continent Tian Shu Alliance?

Apart from Xiao Yan, everyone, including Yun Yun, showed puzzled expressions.

Central Plains is too big and too prosperous.

Without any disdain, but simply stating the most basic truth, the Northwest Continent is an absolutely remote place compared to the Central Plains.

In the vast territory of the Central Region, they hardly receive any news, let alone from the Northwest Continent, or even from the other four regions of the Central Plains, including the East, West, South, and North.

Therefore, when this alchemy elder from Music Valley mentioned the name Tian Shu Alliance, everyone was genuinely puzzled, as they had never heard of this force before.

"Cao Feng, what is this Tian Shu Alliance?" Music Valley Master asked the alchemy elder of Music Valley.

Cao Feng stroked his now-grown beard and recalled, "Valley Master, some time ago I went to the Northern Region to collect a Medicinal Herbs."

"I heard some news about the Tian Shu Alliance from that Northern Region."

"The Tian Shu Alliance seems to be a force that has only grown in the Northwest Continent in the last two years."

I didn't care about the specific extent of their influence, so I didn't know much about it.

"Only the Alliance Leader of the Tian Shu Alliance, I've heard, is a grandmaster alchemist capable of refining Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, and he also wields a Myriad Beast Spirit Flame."

As Xiao Yan listened to Cao Feng's story, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth beneath his mask.

He hadn't expected that Cao Feng actually knew him, though the information was somewhat outdated.

If he were to investigate further, he might discover that he had refined the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning in the Northwest Continent.

Apart from Xiao Yan, the elders of Music Valley and the Music Valley Master showed expressions of surprise.

Is Yun Yun's friend an Eighth-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster?

Some people were skeptical.

After all, they knew perfectly well that when Yun Yun first joined the Music Valley, she was just a minor Dou Emperor, and not a young Dou Emperor at that. Without opportunities, Dou Venerate would have been her limit.

How could someone like that be worthy of befriending an Eighth-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster?

For a moment, their gazes toward Xiao Yan were tinged with suspicion.

Only Yun Yun, upon hearing Cao Feng's words, showed unwavering trust and heartfelt joy.

From beginning to end, she never doubted that Xiao Yan could grow to this level.

"You're already Eighth-Rank Alchemist? That's wonderful!" Yun Yun could not contain her emotions. Perhaps it was because she was too happy, or perhaps it was because she had been separated for so long and missed Xiao Yan so much that she was sick of him. She stepped forward and hugged Xiao Yan into her arms.

Feeling the softness against his body and smelling the faint fragrance that wafted into his nose, Xiao Yan reached out and patted Yun Yun's back.

"I'm fine, but you've already broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Venerate. Your growth rate is even faster than mine," Xiao Yan said.

"I'll tell you about this in private," Yun Yun said softly, a blush rising to her earlobes.

As she parted ways with Xiao Yan, she looked back and saw that the Music Valley Master and the elders all had different expressions, but they all conveyed the same meaning.

'This is the friend you were talking about? I think it's a lover.'

The usually dignified Yun Yun turned her head away shyly.

"Yan Xiao, may I, this old woman, take a look at your Myriad Beast Spirit Flame?" Music Valley Master Gu asked.

As soon as she said this, everyone knew that she wanted to confirm whether Yan Xiao was the Eighth-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster that Cao Feng had mentioned.

Xiao Yan didn't answer her, but instead looked at Yun Yun: "Who is she?"

"It's the Valley Master," Yun Yun said.

Xiao Yan understood. Remembering that Yun Yun had joined the Music Valley and become ' Elder Yun ', he politely bowed to the Music Valley Master.

"So you are Music Valley Master. Since Senior wishes to see, then this junior shall demonstrate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan flicked his wrist, palm facing up, and the crimson Myriad Beast Spirit Flame surged from his body. As the flames burned, the phantoms of Myriad Beast roared silently.

Upon seeing the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, everyone's expressions immediately changed.

Such rare items as Heavenly Flames are extremely difficult to obtain; this Myriad Beast Spirit Flame is enough to convince them to believe it 90%.

In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Yun Yun changed.

With an Eighth-Rank Alchemist to rely on, Yun Yun's value is no longer what it used to be.

In a flash, Cao Feng was the first to speak, "Elder, in my opinion, it would be better to give up your idea of exchanging the Heavenly Flames in Elder Yun's possession for the pills."

Cao Feng's inexplicable mention of this incident instantly made Yin Yuan grit her teeth in anger.

This is clearly an attempt to curry Yan Xiao and stir up hatred for her!

"Yes, Elder Yun went to great lengths to obtain that Heavenly Flames; it's her personal property. How can we just arbitrarily decide to let her take it out to exchange for pills?" The Second Elder chimed in, stating his position.

"That's right, that's right, Elder, you can't morally blackmail Elder Yun." The Third Elder followed closely behind.

"Elder, you've gone a bit too far this time." The elder of the Dou Skill Pavilion shook his head slightly.

Yin Yuan's face twitched, and she cursed inwardly, "A bunch of opportunists! Seeing that Yun Yun has Eighth-Rank Alchemist backing her up, they're eager to take sides and put me down. They deserve to die!"

Suppressing her anger, she said, "I made this suggestion for the sake of our Music Valley. Without the Heavenly Flames, where would you get Tier 8 Medicinal Pill?!"

Cao Feng looked at Xiao Yan and said matter-of-factly, "With Grandmaster Yan Xiao here, the Medicinal Herbs in our valley are enough to refine an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill."

The other elders shared the same opinion, smiling as they looked at Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun immediately thought of Xiao Yan and said, "Refining medicine is extremely demanding; we must not skimp on the reward."

The elders, including Cao Feng, looked astonished.

Do I need to pay extra?

If they still had the resources to hire an Eighth-Rank Alchemist within their valley, would they have dragged this matter out until now?

Yun Yun obviously realized this in the next second as well, and felt slightly embarrassed.

She was so focused on protecting Xiao Yan that she forgot about Music Valley's situation.

Xiao Yan, standing to the side, almost laughed.

It seems that after what happened at the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun no longer feels any sense of belonging to the faction system, and now she is only thinking about him.

He reached out and patted Yun Yun's shoulder. When Yun Yun turned around, he shook his head and smiled, "No need for that."

He looked at the group from Music Valley and said calmly, "It's just Tier 8 Medicinal Pill. Just prepare the necessary Medicinal Herbs, and there's no need for payment."

In order for Yun Yun to develop better and more smoothly in Music Valley, Xiao Yan would not mind helping to refine medicine for Music Valley once.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the elders, including Cao Feng, smiled again and thanked him repeatedly.

Yun Yun showed a touched expression, her heart warmed.

"For a pill to work on the Valley Master, it must at least be High-Grade Tier 8 Medicinal Pill capable of attracting Seven-Colored Pill Lightning?"

"Grandmaster Yan Xiao, it's not that I don't respect you, but can you refine pills of this quality?" Yin Yuan said.

Now she dislikes Xiao Yan as well.

The old Valley Master's lifespan is nearing its end, and she and Yun Yun are the two most likely to succeed her. Originally, she was jealous of Yun Yun and had also received benefits from her, so she targeted Yun Yun in every way.

Now that Yun Yun has Xiao Yan, an Eighth-Rank Alchemist, to support her, she is even more intolerant of such behavior.

Xiao Yan keenly sensed the malice hidden in Yin Yuan Yuan's heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "The Seven-Colored Pill Lightning will take some time, but it's not too difficult."

Yin Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile, "Yan Xiao has quite the big mouth. In the entire Central Plains, there aren't even ten Alchemist can openly refine the Seven-Colored Pill Lightning."

"Only the three giants of the Pill Tower are confident enough to say that making the Seven-Colored Pill Lightning is not difficult."

"I wonder which one of them Master Yan Xiao is?"
