Heading to Fenyang Valley

After hearing Elder Chi Huo's explanation, Liu Qing and the rest of the Liu Family' expressions darkened slightly. Then they heard Cheng Yao laugh arrogantly, "Hahaha, Nephew Liu, don't be discouraged. Fenyang Valley has given you plenty of time. You still have a week. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a Sixth Grade Alchemist to help your Liu Family!"

Cheng Yao's words immediately enraged Liu Qing. His Dou Qi surged, and the aura of Seven-Star Dou Huang erupted. Cheng Yao's expression also changed. However, the next moment, the two elders standing behind Liu Qing shouted in unison, "Clan Leader, don't be impulsive!"

Liu Qing was also forced to calm down by this shout. After returning, he succeeded to the position of clan leader. Now, there are other elders in the clan who have also succeeded to the position, and they are hindering him. If he were to fight with the Cheng Family here, wouldn't that be causing trouble in front of Elder Chi Huo? Then, the Fenyang Valley would definitely be unhappy with the Liu Family in the future. The power of the Fenyang Valley is not something that the Liu Family can deal with. The Liu Family will never allow their clan leader to do such a stupid thing!

Cheng Yao felt a little regretful after seeing Liu Qing stop. Liu Qing glanced resentfully at the Sixth-Grade Advanced Alchemist standing next to Cheng Yao. It would be almost impossible to find an alchemist of the same or even higher grade as this one in a short period of time.

Liu Qing could only suppress his rage, his face ashen as he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Cheng Yao watched as Liu Qing was about to leave, a slight smile appearing on his lips. After all, this was a three-year management right.

Just then, a discordant voice came from the side.

"Liu Qing, wait!"

"Hmm?" Liu Qing, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard the familiar voice, and the Liu Family who were about to leave also looked in Xiao Yu's direction.

Liu Qing turned around and his eyes lit up immediately. He exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yu, what are you doing here?"

Lin Yan and Liu Fei, who were following Liu Qing, were also overjoyed. After all, Xiao Yu had disappeared after returning to Central Plains. Later, they returned to Central Region ahead of them, and now they actually saw Xiao Yu here.

Lin Yan laughed heartily, "Liu Qing, you're really lucky! It seems your Liu Family will have to thank Xiao Yu properly this time!"

Liu Qing was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up. Xiao Yu walked over with Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin. The two elders of the Liu Family behind him frowned slightly and said, "Clan leader, if there's nothing else, let's go back first. It's a done deal that the Cheng Family has obtained the management rights of this Space Wormhole!"

Clearly, these two elders from the Liu Family regarded Xiao Yu as a student of the Jia Nan Academy, just like Lin Yan.

Liu Qing dismissively replied, "Is that so?"

Then Liu Qing stepped forward and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "Xiao Yu, you..."

The fact that he immediately asked for help made Liu Qing a little embarrassed. However, he knew that Xiao Yu could refine Sixth Grade Pills back at the Jia Nan Academy. With Xiao Yu's talent, he could probably refine Seventh-grade Pill now, which would definitely make him stronger than the alchemist from the Cheng Family!

Xiao Yu patted Liu Qing on the shoulder and said, "We're from the same academy, and you're also from the Underworld. I'll help your Liu Family resolve this matter!"

"What an arrogant brat! Doesn't he know his place when he's bragging?" The speaker was Cheng Yao, while the alchemist Zeng Xiu standing beside him scoffed, "Just a greenhorn. He's not even qualified to compare himself to me!"

Elder Chi Huo also noticed Xiao Yu, but with his limited vision and strength, he couldn't see through Xiao Yu's abilities. Moreover, he didn't think this young man had any strong alchemy skills. After all, the path of alchemy is vast and profound. There may be Yao Tian, but they are all people with very deep lineages. Looking at Xiao Yu, he had never seen such a young Yao Tian who didn't even know his life!

"Oh?" Xiao Yu chuckled softly, took out the alchemist's robe from his Storage Ring, and instantly put it on.

All eyes turned to Xiao Yu. When they noticed that Xiao Yu was also wearing an alchemist's robe, and that the badge on his chest was exactly the same as Zeng Xiu's, they realized that Zeng Xiu's alchemist robe was certified by the Pill Tower. If the two were the same, it meant that Xiao Yu was also an alchemist certified by the Pill Tower.

"Quick, look! He, he's actually Seventh-grade Alchemist!" Liu Fei exclaimed in extreme surprise and excitement.

After Liu Fei's reminder, everyone noticed that the badge on Xiao Yu's chest was decorated with seven dazzling purple-gold stars, each one incredibly bright.

Zeng Xiu, being a fellow alchemist, naturally knew what this meant and exclaimed, "This is impossible! How could you possibly be Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist!"

"This must be fake! How dare you impersonate the Alchemist Badge Pill Tower!" Zeng Xiu shouted, almost losing his mind.

Elder Chi Huo Huo's expression changed slightly as he carefully examined Xiao Yu's alchemist robes. These were indeed robes certified by the Pill Tower, impossible to fake, and impossible to lose. This proved that the young man before him was indeed Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist!

Elder Chi Huo's face lit up with ecstasy. If Xiao Yu could help Fenyang Valley refine the Fire Bodhi Pill, the success rate would be extremely high!

Immediately, Elder Chi Huo shouted angrily at Zeng Xiu, "Shut up! As a fellow alchemist, can't you tell the difference between the real and the fake?"

Zeng Xiu could tell, he just didn't want to admit it. A random young man off the street was Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist —wasn't that a blow to one's ego?

After being yelled at by Elder Chi Huo, Zeng Xiu turned pale and dared not speak. Cheng Yao, on the other hand, dared not utter a word. He couldn't afford to offend Fenyang Valley, and he was even less likely to offend this young Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist. Even Fenyang Valley was unwilling to offend Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist, let alone his Cheng Family.

"Seventh-grade Alchemist?" The two elders of the Liu Family gasped in surprise.

Elder Chi Huo looked at Xiao Yu and immediately smiled, saying, "Young friend Xiao Yu's strength is indeed extraordinary. Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist is enough for our Fenyang Valley to treat you with the utmost respect. Since you are willing to lend a helping hand to the Liu Family, then the management rights of this Space Wormhole for the next three years will be handed over to the Liu Family!"

Upon hearing Elder Chi Huo's words, the Liu Family members became excited, while the Cheng Family, on the other hand, were as dejected as wilted eggplants. Cheng Yao, in particular, had a lifeless look in his eyes. If the news that the Liu Family knew a Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist got out, the Liu Family would probably become the number one family in Tianhuang City!

Liu Qing cupped his hands in thanks to Elder Chi Huo and said, "Thank you, Elder Chi Huo!"

Elder Chi Huo waved his hand and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank your friend, Xiao Yu. Would you mind joining me at Burning Fenyang Valley?"

Xiao Yu glanced at Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, both of whom said, "We'll wait for you here. We'll set off again after you return from Fenyang Valley!"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yu agreed. Then, Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian followed Liu Qing and the others to the Liu Family, while Xiao Yu followed Elder Chi Huo on a giant crimson bird and flew towards Fenyang Valley.
