Sixth-grade Alchemist? Ya Fei is Shocked!

After Nalan Yanran left her family, she set off for Wutan City.

All the way, she was pondering one question.

Could there really be a Dou Zong level expert in the small Wutan City, the place where that fellow Xiao Yan resided?

What were Father and Grandfather talking about?

Nalan Yanran's first reaction was disbelief; she didn't believe it.

A Dou Zong expert, who hadn't appeared in the Jia Ma Empire for so many years, was actually in a remote place like Wutan City.

Therefore, Nalan Yanran murmured to herself.

"Fine, I must go and see if it's true, as Father and Grandfather said, that there are Dou Zong experts in a place like Wutan City!"

"However, the fact that a Fifth-grade Pill appeared at the Miteer Auction House in Wutan City some time ago is indeed true; even my teacher was alerted."

"Could it be that something has happened in Wutan City recently?"

When Nalan Yanran went to Wutan City to break off the engagement last time, no such influential figures who caused a sensation throughout the Jia Ma Empire had appeared in Wutan City.

In the Xiao Clan, Wutan City.

Yao Chen was supervising Xiao Yan's training in the back mountains, improving his Dou Qi strength.

According to Xiao Yan's current cultivation progress, there was still some distance to go before he could advance to Fighter.

However, Xiao Yan was very diligent, cultivating day and night without a moment's slack.

"Teacher, with my current strength, if I were to face an opponent of the same level, I should have no problem defeating them, right?" Xiao Yan said, looking at Yao Chen.

After all, he had cultivated the Dou Techniques and cultivation methods that Yao Chen had given him during this period, and he was quite confident.

Yao Chen said, "Are you satisfied with such meager achievements? As I said before, look at your lack of ambition."

"Heh heh, in front of you, Teacher, what ambition do I need? No matter how hard I try to catch up, I can never compare to your Dou Zun strength, Teacher," Xiao Yan said.

But he didn't know.

Yao Chen's current strength level was already Dou Sheng.

If he were to tell Xiao Yan, his jaw would probably drop in shock.

A day later, Nalan Yanran arrived in Wutan City and met Ya Fei at the Miteer Auction House, the person her grandfather had mentioned.

A charming woman dressed in a red qipao.

She was also the chief auctioneer of the Miteer Auction House.

Ya Fei recognized Nalan Yanran, the pride of the Nalan Family and the future successor of the Cloud Mist Sect.

Her name was extremely well-known throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

Not to mention the sensation and discussion caused by her visit to Xiao Yan to break off the engagement some time ago.

Ya Fei, who was also in Wutan City, naturally knew about it.

"Sister Ya Fei, my grandfather mentioned that a Dou Zong level expert recently appeared in Wutan City? Could it be the alchemist who sold the Fifth-grade Pill last time?" Nalan Yanran asked.

Ya Fei saw her and said, "That's right, Miss Nalan. Your grandfather and father were both present at the time. Mr. Yao stepped on air, which is indeed the symbol of a Dou Zong expert."

Nalan Yanran knew this very well.

Her teacher, Yun Yun, as a Dou Huang expert, still needed Qi Wings to fly in the sky.

Being able to walk in the air without relying on Qi Wings was the best proof of the Dou Zong realm.

At this moment, Ya Fei looked at Nalan Yanran, knowing the reason and purpose for which Nalan Jie had sent her to Wutan City.

The Nalan Family had great influence in the Jia Ma Empire.

But to a Dou Zong expert, it was insignificant.

However, Nalan Yanran represented not only the Nalan Family but also the identity of a personal disciple of Yun Yun, the Cloud Mist Sect Leader.

After all, the Cloud Mist Sect had stood for so many years in the Jia Ma Empire.

The sect was extremely large, with many experts and disciples, including the Dou Huang strength of Sect Leader Yun Yun.

In the face of a Dou Zong expert, at least the Cloud Mist Sect's prestige was much greater than that of their Nalan Family.

It was clear that the Nalan Family intended to curry favor with this Dou Zong expert.

But then again, who wouldn't curry favor and show goodwill to a Dou Zong level expert?

They couldn't let go of this opportunity by any means.

This was related to their future status in the Jia Ma Empire being able to rise dramatically.

With the protection of a Dou Zong expert, Nalan Jie wouldn't even have to put the entire Cloud Mist Sect in his eyes.

Nalan Yanran looked at Ya Fei and said.

"Sister Ya Fei, could you please arrange for me to meet that Mr. Yao?"

Ya Fei nodded, "Okay, I will try my best to arrange it, but if Mr. Yao is unwilling to meet, then I will be powerless."

"After all, you know that Mr. Yao is not only a Fifth-grade alchemist but also a Dou Zong level expert."

"Although our Miteer Family carries some weight and influence within the Jia Ma Empire, we dare not act presumptuously before a Dou Zong."

Ya Fei spoke the honest truth.

Strictly speaking, it was not just their Miteer Family that dared not act presumptuously before a powerhouse at the Dou Zong level.

Even the imperial family of the Jia Ma Empire, along with their guardian Jia Xing Tian, were no different, were they?

That was a Dou Zong powerhouse, not some ordinary figure!

Yao Chen watched Xiao Yan practice his cultivation in the back mountains for an entire day.

It was not until evening that a new system mission appeared before Yao Chen.

[Current Mission: Sell one sixth-grade pill.]

[Mission Reward: One orange treasure chest.]

[Do you accept the mission? Please choose.]

For Yao Chen, a sixth-grade pill was still as simple as rolling mud pellets by hand.

Even though for the Pill King Gu He, the number one alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, refining a sixth-grade pill still carried significant risks.

But for Yao Chen, it was effortless, requiring no exertion at all.

He searched through his memories and decided to refine a Sect-Breaking Pill.

However, the medicinal ingredients were not so easily found.

If he could not find the ingredients to refine the Sect-Breaking Pill, it seemed he would have to settle for second best and refine a different sixth-grade pill.

An hour later, Yao Chen went to the Miteer Auction House.

He intended to ask for Ya Fei's help in sourcing some medicinal ingredients.

Upon hearing the names of the ingredients Yao Chen listed, Ya Fei's expression was one of shock.

The rarity of these ingredients was far greater than those required for the fifth-grade pill from last time.

Ya Fei looked astonished; she had asked casually, never expecting Yao Chen to provide an answer.

Yao Chen said, "I intend to refine a sixth-grade pill. Please help me find these ingredients as best you can."

"What! A sixth-grade pill?" Ya Fei's expression froze instantly.

She had not expected that Mr. Yao was actually capable of refining a sixth-grade pill.

Ya Fei was completely stunned; both his status as a Dou Zong and his methods as a sixth-grade alchemist left her feeling extremely shocked.

The gap between this and what she had originally imagined was far too great!

She had assumed that Mr. Yao was at most a fifth-grade alchemist; she never imagined he had reached the sixth-grade level, alongside the strength of a Dou Zong!
