Fama's Fortuitous Opportunity!

"Then shall we abandon our cooperation with the Mu Clan?" Elder Olin asked as he looked at the clan head.

After pondering for a while, Mitel Tengshan said calmly, "Forget it. The imperial family stands behind the Mu Clan. Since they want it, give it to them. This is how we make money; there's no need to fight with money!"

"Gather these supplies from across the empire as soon as possible and send them to the imperial capital. Deliver everything to the Mu Clan within half a year!" Teng Shan said.

Olin bowed. "Yes, Clan Head!"

Having finished discussing the matter, Olin was about to leave when he suddenly said, "By the way, Clan Head, Mu Zhan of the Mu Clan came looking for Miss Ya Fei again today!"

"Although Mu Zhan is somewhat rash, he still knows his limits. Have Ya Fei deal with him for now. If things truly become unbearable, send Ya Fei to train in one of the lower cities. She can also learn how to manage an auction house there," Teng Shan said softly.

Olin nodded. "Yes, Clan Head!"

Watching Olin leave, Mitel Tengshan turned his gaze toward the window and murmured, "Jia Lao, Princess Yaoye, what exactly are you trying to do? Is it to ward off that fierce tiger in the north?"

"That is a cultivation sect. No matter how powerful the empire's army is, compared to them, it will probably still fall somewhat short, won't it?"

After returning to the Grand Auction House, Olin had someone summon Ya Fei.

"Elder, you wished to see me?" Ya Fei asked, standing prettily before Olin.

Seeing the faint smile on Ya Fei's face, Olin asked, "You met Mu Zhan?"

Ya Fei nodded slightly. "Yes, I did!"

"You seem to be in a good mood. Is it because of him?" Olin asked again.

Ya Fei nodded. "More or less!"

Olin found this somewhat strange, but it also put him at ease.

"The clan head originally said that if Mu Zhan truly became too troublesome, he would send you to train in one of the lower cities. It seems that won't be necessary now!" Olin said with a smile.

Ya Fei looked at Olin in astonishment. "Train in a lower city? Why? Is it because I'm a woman, because my cultivation talent is poor?"

Olin frowned. "How could that be? The clan head merely felt that your aptitude at the Grand Auction House was insufficient. Besides, hadn't you disliked Mu Zhan before? Sending you to train in a lower city would not have been a bad idea!"

"I won't go! I don't need to train in a lower city. It's not as if the Grand Auction House in the imperial capital doesn't have a Yellow-Rank Auction House. Can't I train there? As for Mu Zhan, he probably won't come harass me again!" Ya Fei said firmly.

Olin looked at Ya Fei. "All right, all right. Handle this matter as you see fit. Since you don't want to go to a lower city, the clan head probably won't force you to go!"

"Starting tomorrow, you will begin training at the Yellow-Rank Auction House!" Just as Ya Fei was about to leave, she suddenly heard Elder Olin speak.

Ya Fei turned around in surprise and looked at Elder Olin. "Really?"

"Of course. If you don't want to..."

"I do, of course I do!" Ya Fei quickly said.

"Good. Go and prepare properly!" Elder Olin said.

"Yes, thank you, Elder Olin!" Ya Fei said, then turned and left excitedly.

From that moment onward, the course of Ya Fei's life veered in another direction, one that could never be reversed.

Jia He had already arrived at the Alchemist Association. Over the past five years, he had become a regular visitor there.

Heading directly to the top floor of the association, Jia He knocked on the door to President Fama's office.

President Fama looked up and smiled. "You brat, you actually have time to visit me today?"

Jia He said, "Yue'er came here to study under Vice President Mitchell, so she dragged me along!"

President Fama nodded. "So that's how it is. Perfect timing, I have a pill formula for a sixth-grade medicinal pill here. Shall we study it together?"

Jia He nodded. "No problem!"

President Fama rose and walked toward the bookshelf. After a while, he returned with a fiery red scroll in his hand.

"Take a look first!" Fama said.

Jia He took the pill scroll, and his soul force immediately swept into the sixth-grade medicinal pill scroll. A vast stream of information instantly flooded into his mind.

Fortunately, Jia He's soul force was sufficiently powerful. After digesting it a moment later, he chuckled. "I never expected President Fama to be hiding such a treasure!"

President Fama chuckled. "I merely stumbled upon it many years ago. Over the years, I have prepared all the medicinal ingredients it requires, but this is a sixth-grade medicinal pill. The failure rate is extremely high, and I have no confidence in succeeding!"

Jia He said, "This Primordial Rank-Breaking Pill is indeed difficult to refine, but that does not mean it cannot be refined. If it truly succeeds, not only will you advance to the realm of a sixth-grade alchemist, but your strength may also break through to an eight-star Dou Emperor, right?"

Fama nodded. "If this Primordial Rank-Breaking Pill can truly be refined, its effects can indeed allow me to enter the sixth grade."

"Let's go take a look at the alchemy room!" Jia He said as he rose.

The two headed toward the alchemy room, where two sets of medicinal ingredients had already been placed, along with Fama's own five medicine cauldrons in the center.

Jia He stepped forward. "I'll first refine part of the ingredients and make an attempt."

Naturally, Fama did not object and gestured for Jia He to proceed.

Jia He sat before a medicine cauldron. As Dou Qi surged from his hand, the medicinal ingredients were swept into the cauldron.

Then, a fiery red flame burst forth from Jia He's palm.

As Jia He's strength had grown over the years, the flame formed from his Dou Qi had become increasingly powerful, and its color had gradually changed as well.

This was the most important Fire-Nurturing Method within the Medicinal Pill Method Jia He had learned.

Although there was the practice of borrowing flames on the Dou Qi Continent, such as beast flames and the rare, wondrous flames of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Flames!

Jia He believed that the strongest flame was still the flame nurtured within one's own body. Not only was it compatible with oneself, but it could also grow stronger as one's strength increased!

Watching Jia He's alchemy techniques from the side, Fama felt that every movement seemed to conceal the essence of the Dao, perfectly natural and seamless.

If others refined pills by merely refining medicinal pills, then Jia He's pill refinement seemed more like an art.

Jia He continuously placed medicinal ingredients into the cauldron, and the flames subsequently refined them.

Time slowly passed. Two hours later, all the medicinal ingredients had been refined.

Next came pill fusion, followed by pill formation. But Yaoyue's lessons would soon end, so Jia He looked at Fama and said, "How about I come back tomorrow to continue refining it?"

"No, that won't do. Who knows how long refining a sixth-grade medicinal pill will take? How can you stop halfway through? I'll just have Yaoyue come in and study with us!" Fama said, the corner of his eye twitching.

Jia He said, "All right, but if it takes too long, Yaoyue may not be willing to stay."

"It's fine. If she can't take it, let her go back first. In any case, you have to refine this pill for me first!" Fama said anxiously, as if he could feel the shackles that had trapped him at the peak of the fifth grade.

If he could break through to become a sixth-grade alchemist while watching Jia He refine pills, it would be an enormous fortuitous opportunity. He had to seize it!

After thinking it over, Jia He agreed as well.
