I Am Not from This World!

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

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

"Gu He, I never expected that after so many years apart, you would break through to become a sixth-tier Alchemist."

"Not bad. It seems this old man did not misjudge you back then."

Looking at Gu He before him, Yun Shan's aged face revealed a gratified expression.

That young man who had once shone brilliantly at the Alchemist Conference had finally become the Pill King renowned throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

His painstaking efforts to recruit him into the Misty Cloud Sect had not been in vain.

If the Imperial Family had recruited him instead, it might very well have shaken the Misty Cloud Sect's position within the Jia Ma Empire.

"Gu He's achievements today would not have been possible without the Old Sect Master's guidance."

Though Gu He had always been arrogant and dismissive toward outsiders, he still showed the proper respect before Yun Shan.

"Hehe, you are too modest."

Yun Shan was greatly pleased by those words.

"A sixth-tier Alchemist cannot be cultivated through resources alone. In the end, it is because you possess exceptional talent, boy."

The two had not met for more than a decade. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu He finally turned his gaze toward Yun Yun beside them.

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

Thinking of the information Liu Ling had reported the previous night, Gu He sought confirmation from Yun Yun.

Yun Yun said nothing. With a thought, she released the pressure belonging to a Dou Zong.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from Yun Yun, Gu He's pupils contracted slightly. A trace of shock finally appeared on his normally calm face.

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

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

Gu He was deeply puzzled. How had she managed it?

Could it really be that Yun Yun had bought a Divine Pill?

That explanation was simply too absurd.

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

Yun Yun had already withdrawn her pressure. Gu He relaxed slightly and continued asking.

"If Elder Gu He does not believe it, you may personally open a Jar later."

Yun Yun knew that no amount of explanation would help with such matters unless one experienced them firsthand.

"Open a Jar?"

Gu He frowned and looked toward the ordinary-looking shop before him.

"What kind of Jar could produce such a Divine Pill?"

"Gu He shall personally give it a try today!"

With Gu He joining them, four figures stood at the entrance of the shop, quietly waiting for its doors to open.

Inside Shop Manor.

Ye Yun was still seated cross-legged within the pavilion.

An incomparably sharp sword intent rose from his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yun finally opened his eyes, a glint of sword light flashing in his dark pupils.

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

"Dark heavens, divine thunder. Majestic heavenly might, summoned by the sword!"

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

But in the next moment, an awkward expression appeared on his face.

He did not even have a sword in his hand. How the hell was he supposed to use a sword art?

"Forget it. I'll wait until I open a treasured sword someday, then I can show off my skills."

Shaking his head, Ye Yun remembered that he still had a task to complete. 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 could not help complaining, "Who does business like this? It's so late, and he still hasn't come out to open the door."

She was extremely dissatisfied. The sun was so scorching that it had tanned her delicate fair skin.

Yun Yun beside her agreed wholeheartedly with Nalan Yanran's words, but she still rebuked her, "Yanran, do not be rude."

Yun Yun was still wary of the strength Ye Yun had displayed.

Although Ye Yun did not seem like the sort of person who relied on his strength to bully the weak.

Yun Yun still did not wish to carelessly test Ye Yun's limits.

Just as they were becoming increasingly impatient, the shop doors finally opened with a creak.

"It's finally open!"

Nalan Yanran's expression brightened, and a delighted smile appeared on her pretty face.

The four of them then headed straight into the shop.

When Yun Yun and the others entered, Ye Yun was opening the packaging of the Instant Noodles in his hand.

"Morning!"

Ye Yun smiled and greeted the four who had entered.

The corners of all four of their mouths twitched at those words.

It was nearly noon already, and it was still morning?

Yun Yun forced a pleasant smile and said, "Morning, Boss. Please get me a Jar."

"You're buying Jars? Don't rush. Sit down for a while and wait until I finish breakfast first."

Ye Yun grinned and waved his hand. A chair immediately appeared behind the four of them.

Nalan Yanran plopped down onto it, inwardly grumbling, It's already noon, and he's still eating breakfast. We didn't even eat breakfast before waiting outside.

After opening the packaging, Ye Yun tore open several seasoning packets and poured them into the cup. Then he snapped his fingers stylishly, and a stream of steaming hot water appeared out of thin air, pouring into the cup. Ye Yun skillfully poked holes in the lid with a fork, perfectly sealing in the heat.

Yun Yun and the others watched Ye Yun's actions in confusion, having no idea what the Instant Noodles in his hand were.

Breakfast?

What kind of breakfast was this?

Why had they never seen it before?

The sight of Ye Yun creating boiling water from thin air flashed through Yun Shan's mind, and his heart could not calm down for a long while.

How had he accomplished such a method?

Just who was this young man?

"I am Yun Shan. Greetings, Boss. May I ask your esteemed name?"

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

The young man before him was simply too mysterious. He could not resist probing into his background.

This old man is Yun Shan?

Ye Yun swept his gaze over Yun Shan. This guy was the major villain from the early part of Battle Through the Heavens?

Why couldn't I tell at all?

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

"Ye Yun..."

Yun Shan frowned and pondered for a moment, but he could find no clue in his memories.

Seeing that Ye Yun seemed easy to talk to, Yun Shan could not help asking again, "Boss Ye, are you from the Jia Ma Empire?"

Ye Yun shook his head. "No."

Yun Shan asked again, "Then are you from the Central Plains?"

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

Ye Yun paused, understanding that Yun Shan was trying to probe his background. He did not mind and said with a smile, "You do not need to guess. I am not from this world."

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

"Not from this world?"

Ye Yun's words immediately stunned the four people seated inside.

What did that mean?

Yun Shan frowned. Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, a flash of realization struck his mind, and he looked at Ye Yun in disbelief.
