I Am Not From This World!

"Gu He pays his respects to the Old Sect Master!"

Dressed in white, Gu He arrived before the shop and immediately stepped forward to salute Yun Shan.

"Gu He, I did not expect that after all these years, you have actually broken through to become a Tier 6 Alchemist."

"Very good. It seems my judgment of you back then was not wrong."

Looking at the Gu He before him, a look of gratification appeared on Yun Shan's aged face.

The young man who had shone so brilliantly at the Alchemist Grand Gathering had finally become the Pill King, renowned throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

It had been worth the painstaking effort he took to recruit him into the Misty Cloud Sect all those years ago.

If the Imperial Family had managed to recruit him instead, it would very likely have shaken the status of the Misty Cloud Sect within the Jia Ma Empire.

"Gu He's achievements today are inseparable from the Old Sect Master's cultivation."

Gu He, who was usually arrogant toward the outside world, still maintained the proper respect when in front of Yun Shan.

"Hehe, you are too modest."

Hearing this, Yun Shan felt very pleased.

"A Tier 6 Alchemist cannot be achieved through resources alone; ultimately, it is because you, lad, possess exceptional talent."

The two had not met for over a decade, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu He turned his gaze toward Yun Yun at the side.

"Sect Master, I have heard that you have broken through to the Dou Zong realm. Is this true?"

Recalling the information Liu Ling had reported last night, Gu He asked Yun Yun for confirmation.

Yun Yun did not speak; with a flick of her mind, an aura belonging to the Dou Zong realm was released.

Feeling the monstrous pressure emanating from Yun Yun, Gu He's pupils constricted, and a trace of shock finally appeared on his usually indifferent face.

It seemed that everything Liu Ling said last night was true.

Yun Yun had truly broken through to the Dou Zong realm!

Gu He was deeply puzzled; how on earth was this achieved?

Could it really be that Yun Yun had purchased a divine pill?

That claim was simply too absurd.

"Sect Master, is there really a pill in this world that can instantly increase one's cultivation by thirty years?"

At this moment, Yun Yun had already retracted her aura. Feeling a sense of relief, Gu He continued to inquire.

"If Elder Gu does not believe it, you may open a jar yourself in a moment."

Yun Yun knew that no amount of explanation would be of any use; one had to experience it personally.

"Open a jar?"

Gu He frowned, his gaze shifting to the ordinary-looking shop before him.

"What kind of jar could contain such a divine pill?"

"I shall try it for myself today!"

With Gu He joining them, four figures stood at the entrance of the shop, quietly waiting for the Gate of Opening to be unsealed.

Inside the shop courtyard.

Ye Yun remained seated in the pavilion.

An extremely sharp sword intent rose from his body.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Ye Yun finally opened his eyes, a flicker of sword light flashing within his pitch-black pupils.

At this moment, Ye Yun had successfully imprinted the inheritance of the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art into his mind.

"Nine Heavens Profound Brake, transformed into divine thunder. With the brilliance of heaven's might, I summon it with my sword!"

As the domineering incantation of the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art flashed through his mind, a look of eagerness appeared on Ye Yun's face.

But the next moment, an awkward expression took its place.

He didn't even have a sword in his hand; how was he supposed to execute a sword art?

"Forget it, forget it. I'll wait until the day I open a precious sword to show off my skills."

Shaking his head, Ye Yun remembered he still had a task to complete, so he casually picked up a cup of instant noodles and headed toward the shop.

By now, the sun was already high in the sky.

Outside the shop, Nalan Yanran wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but complain, "Who does business like this? It's so late, and they still haven't come out to open the door."

She was very dissatisfied; the sun was so bright, and it was going to tan her delicate skin.

Yun Yun, standing to the side, agreed with Nalan Yanran's words, but she reprimanded her nonetheless: "Yanran, do not be rude."

Regarding the strength Ye Yun had displayed, Yun Yun still felt a great deal of wariness in her heart.

Although it was said that Ye Yun did not give off the impression of someone who would bully the weak by relying on his strength.

Yun Yun still did not want to easily test Ye Yun's bottom line.

Just as the group was becoming quite restless from waiting, a creaking sound echoed out, and the shop door finally opened.

"It's finally open!"

Nalan Yanran's expression brightened, a happy smile appearing on her pretty face.

Following that, the four of them headed straight toward the shop.

When Yun Yun and the others entered, Ye Yun was in the middle of unwrapping a cup of instant noodles.

"Morning!"

Ye Yun greeted the four newcomers with a smile.

Hearing this, the corners of all four of their mouths twitched.

It was nearly noon; how was this still morning?

Yun Yun, however, squeezed out a pleasant smile and said, "Morning, Boss. Please, I would like to purchase a jar."

"Buying a jar, are you? Don't rush. Take a seat for a moment and wait for me to finish my breakfast."

Ye Yun grinned and waved his hand, causing a chair to appear directly behind each of the four.

Nalan Yanran plopped down into her seat, grumbling inwardly, It's already noon and he's still eating breakfast? I haven't even had breakfast myself, having waited outside this whole time.

After tearing open the packaging, Ye Yun ripped open the seasoning packets and added them to the cup. With a stylish snap of his fingers, a stream of steaming hot water appeared out of thin air and poured into the cup. Ye Yun skillfully picked up a fork and poked holes in the lid, perfectly sealing in the heat.

Yun Yun and the others watched Ye Yun's actions with confusion, having no idea what the instant noodles in his hands were.

Breakfast?

What kind of breakfast was this?

Why had they never seen it before?

The scene of Ye Yun conjuring boiling water out of thin air flashed through Yun Shan's mind, and he could not calm his heart for a long time.

How was this kind of feat achieved?

What exactly was the background of this young man?

"This Humble One is Yun Shan. Greetings, Boss. May I ask for your honorable name?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Shan stood up and asked Ye Yun.

The young man before him was simply too mysterious, and he could not help but want to probe into his background.

So this old man is Yun Shan?

Ye Yun swept his gaze over Yun Shan. Was this guy the major antagonist of the early stages of Battle Through the Heavens?

How could he not tell at all?

Ye Yun replied, "My name is Ye Yun."

"Ye Yun..."

Yun Shan frowned and pondered for a moment, but he could not find a single clue in his mind.

Seeing that Ye Yun seemed quite easy to talk to, Yun Shan could not help but ask again, "Is Boss Ye from the Jia Ma Empire?"

Ye Yun shook his head. "No."

Yun Shan asked again, "Then is Boss from the Central Plains?"

In Yun Shan's view, only the Central Plains could produce a mysterious expert like Ye Yun.

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, realizing that Yun Shan was trying to fish for information. He didn't mind, however, and said with a smile, "You don't need to guess. I am not from this world."

He was from Earth, so he was indeed not from this world.

"Not from this world?"

Ye Yun's words immediately left all four people sitting there stunned.

What did this mean?

Yun Shan furrowed his brows, and then, as if he had thought of something, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind, and he looked at Ye Yun in disbelief.
