Heading to the Mite'er Family!

Yaoye looked at Jia He and asked, "What medicinal ingredients do you need? The treasury should have all of them, shouldn't it?"

Jia He said, "They're all basic ingredients. The ingredients in the treasury are relatively important, and I have no use for them at the moment."

"What about the Mite'er Family?" Yaoye asked.

Jia He shook his head. "I can get them from the Mite'er Family, but I'll still have to wait. Since there's trouble at the northeastern border, I might as well go take a look myself."

"Besides, I haven't been out and about for a long time. That isn't good for cultivation either. I need to get out and see the world."

Hearing Jia He's words, Yaoye could only agree. "All right, but you have to bring some guards with you!"

Jia He could not help laughing. "What guards? They're all at the Dou Ling level. Even if there are Dou Wangs among them, if we really run into danger, will they be protecting me, or will I be protecting them?"

Then Jia He said directly, "All right, Sister Yaoye, stop worrying. With my current strength, there should be no one in the Jia Ma Empire who can touch me!"

"But what if it's those people from the Soul Hall?" Yaoye asked with a frown.

"If I really run into people from the Soul Hall, I'll turn around and run. I'll make preserving my life my top priority!" Jia He reassured her.

Since Jia He had put it that way, Yaoye could only say, "All right, then. You must be careful."

"Don't worry!" Jia He nodded in agreement.

Alchemist Association.

When Jia He arrived, President Fama was sitting in his office, discussing matters with Vice President Mitchell.

The moment President Fama saw Jia He, he smiled. "You came at just the right time. I was about to discuss something with you!"

"What a coincidence. I have something to discuss with you two as well," Jia He said.

After Fama and Mitchell exchanged a glance, they looked at Jia He and asked, "Did you come because of the Empire's border situation?"

Jia He sat down on a nearby sofa. "Looks like we're here to discuss the same matter."

"A city at the border was slaughtered. Members of our Alchemist Association found traces of poison masters from the Cloudrise Empire there. Beyond that, it seems the Cloudrise Empire's Alchemist Association may also be involved behind the scenes," Mitchell said to Jia He.

Only recently had Mitchell learned that the young man before him was already a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.

President Fama had asked Mitchell to prepare two sets of Sixth-Rank Alchemist robes. Mitchell had initially assumed that the other set was for Pill King Gu He, so he had casually asked whether Pill King Gu He had also joined the Alchemist Association.

Who would have thought that President Fama would merely smile and say it was not for Gu He, but for that little fellow Jia He?

To be honest, Mitchell was filled with nothing but shock.

Jia He had also noticed that Vice President Mitchell kept studying him from the side, so he asked, "President Mitchell, is there something you want to ask me?"

Mitchell's expression turned somewhat awkward. "No, nothing. I'm just a little surprised."

Fama explained from the side, "He only just learned about your alchemist rank, so he's a little shocked."

"Oh, and your Sixth-Rank Alchemist robes are ready. I'll have Mitchell bring them over later."

"So that's what it was," Jia He said.

Then Jia He continued, "I came here for this matter as well. Since alchemists from the Cloudrise Empire have joined in, the alchemists of our Jia Ma Empire naturally need to shoulder their responsibilities too!"

Fama nodded. "That is only right. I plan to have Mitchell lead two elders from the Alchemist Association, along with ten Third-Rank Alchemists and fifteen Second-Rank Alchemists, to the border."

Mitchell and the two elders of the Alchemist Association were all Fourth-Rank Alchemists, which showed just how seriously the Alchemist Association took this matter!

"Since Elder Fama has already made all the arrangements, I won't say more. We'll depart for the border tomorrow!" Jia He said.

Fama nodded. "Good!"

Soon after, Mitchell had someone bring over the alchemist robes. Above the medicinal cauldron emblem on the chest were six silver ripples, while the cuffs were threaded with gold, making it clear that they had been meticulously crafted.

Jia He put on the alchemist robes, and they fit perfectly. They carried a faint coolness that felt exceptionally comfortable.

"Not bad!" Jia He chuckled.

Mitchell looked at the alchemist robes on Jia He, his eyes filled with envy.

Yet he also knew just how difficult it was to become a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. Like President Fama before him, he had been stuck at Peak Fourth Rank for many years!

Jia He glanced at Mitchell and suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, quite a few alchemists in the Alchemist Association, including the vice president, have reached the Fourth Rank, or even Peak Fourth Rank, right?"

President Fama nodded slightly. He immediately understood Jia He's meaning and looked at him. "You're willing to offer them some guidance?"

"Why wouldn't I be? If the Alchemist Association produces a few more Fifth-Rank or Sixth-Rank Alchemists, that would be an enormous blessing for the Jia Ma Empire!" Jia He said with a smile.

Mitchell stood there, staring blankly at Jia He. Seeing Mitchell's reaction, Fama hurriedly reminded him, "Why aren't you thanking him for being willing to guide you?"

Only then did Mitchell come back to his senses. He quickly clasped his fists toward Jia He. "Thank you, Your Highness, for being willing to guide us!"

"Once we return from this trip, I'll personally refine a batch of pills for you at the Alchemist Association. How much you gain from it will depend on your own fortune," Jia He said.

Mitchell was instantly delighted. "Good! I'll inform everyone in the Alchemist Association about this later!"

Sitting to the side, Fama stroked his beard. "Mm, I'll go and observe as well when the time comes."

Mitchell gave Fama a strange look. "President, aren't you already a Sixth-Rank Alchemist?"

Fama immediately widened his eyes. "What? Am I not allowed to go?"

"Of course you are!" Mitchell immediately shrank back.

Jia He shook his head with a smile, then stored the alchemist robes in his Storage Ring.

He did not want to wear them outside and have people stare at him like he was some kind of spectacle.

After leaving the Alchemist Association, Jia He headed straight for the Mittel Grand Auction House. He had not seen Ya Fei in over a year and wondered how she was doing now.

When Jia He arrived at the Mittel Grand Auction House, however, he was told that Ya Fei had not visited the auction house in a long time and should be at Mittel Manor now.

Jia He then headed for Mittel Manor.

As the Empire's most extravagant family, the Mite'er Family had built its manor in the heart of the Imperial Capital, where it occupied a vast expanse of land.

Inside the manor, when Mitel Tengshan heard that the Imperial Family's young prince had arrived, he immediately led a group of people toward the gates to welcome him!

Ever since witnessing Jia He's terrifying strength in the imperial palace last time, Teng Shan had directly listed Jia He as the family's most important guest!

Jia He did not wait long at the gate before turning to see Teng Shan leading a large group of family members toward the entrance.
