Yun Yun Arrives, a Deal!
It had to be said that soul-cultivation techniques held an enormous allure for these alchemists.
Even without Jia He saying anything, these people would have rushed to join Imperial Prison. They did not care about neutrality or anything else, as long as it could improve their alchemy!
Fama looked at Jia He and said, "Since they all agree, I will immediately summon the presidents of the Empire's other branches to the Imperial Capital for discussion, then announce that every Alchemist Association branch in the Empire will join Imperial Prison!"
Jia He nodded. "Good. Let's settle this as soon as possible. Oh, and I have also prepared a soul-cultivation technique for you, President. It will be enough to help you break through to the level of a seventh-tier alchemy grandmaster!"
Fama's aged face immediately flushed red. He was clearly so excited that he could barely speak.
Jia He chuckled. "Elder Fama, there is no need to be so excited. What is our relationship? In the future, I would still like you to oversee the Pill Hall. What do you think?"
After doing his best to calm himself, Fama looked at Jia He and said, "Fine. This old bag of bones is yours now, kid. If I can truly break through to the level of an eighth-tier alchemist, then I will die without regrets!"
Jia He shook his head with a smile. Just then, a sharp sound tore through the air as Pill King Gu He appeared outside the alchemy room.
"Elder Fama, did you refine another sixth-tier pill?" Gu He asked Fama.
Fama rose to his feet and looked at Gu He. "Not me. Him!"
Following Fama's gaze, Gu He looked at Jia He beside him. Only then did he notice the sixth-tier alchemist robe Jia He was wearing!
Gu He was instantly stunned. "A sixth-tier alchemist? Him?"
Fama smiled. "What do you think? Surprised too, aren't you? I was the same at first, but this kid's talent for alchemy is truly terrifying, so I kept it hidden!"
"How is that possible? How old is he?" Gu He frowned at Fama.
"It is the truth," Fama said. "Do you remember the refinement of that sixth-tier pill before? He refined it, not me. I merely put the pill in my possession to conceal his identity!"
Jia He looked at Gu He. This fellow had decent talent in alchemy, but his heart belonged to Yun Yun, and he only wished to remain in the Misty Cloud Sect!
Unfortunately, he had feelings for her, but she did not return them.
Jia He looked at Gu He and said, "Pill King, you are a sixth-tier alchemist. If I invited you to join Imperial Prison, would you be willing?"
"Imperial Prison?" Gu He frowned slightly.
"It is merely a faction I created," Jia He said.
Gu He forced a smile. "No need. I prefer being free and unfettered. I am already quite satisfied staying in the Misty Cloud Sect!"
Jia He seemed to have expected that answer. He did not press the matter and merely nodded. "All right!"
Then Jia He said to Fama, "Elder Fama, I will leave this matter to you. I'll head back first!"
Fama nodded. "All right. Don't worry!"
Jia He came before Little Fairy Doctor and Ya Fei. "Ya Fei, after you return, tell Teng Shan that I will pay him a visit tomorrow!"
Ya Fei looked at Jia He and already knew that he wanted the Mittel Clan to join Imperial Prison. She nodded. "All right, I'll tell the clan leader!"
Jia He then looked at Little Fairy Doctor. "Work hard on cultivating the Great Heaven Poison Technique. If anything happens at the Alchemist Association, seek President Fama!"
Little Fairy Doctor smiled lightly. "Don't worry, I understand!"
Jia He took out two more tokens and handed them to Little Fairy Doctor and Ya Fei. "The palace may be placed under lockdown at times. To prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, you can use these tokens to enter and leave the palace without obstruction!"
Ya Fei and Little Fairy Doctor both accepted Jia He's tokens. The character He was engraved upon them, marking them as tokens exclusive to him!
Just as Jia He stepped out of the Alchemist Association's gates, a royal carriage stopped before him.
Yaoyue poked her little head out and snorted at Jia He. "You disappear all day long. You just came back, yet you ran out of the palace again. You haven't kept me company in ages!"
Hearing Yaoyue's complaint, Jia He climbed into the carriage. "Didn't I come back? Look what this is!"
Jia He took out some candies from his storage ring and handed them to Yaoyue. The little girl loved these things, so he always kept some on hand.
Inside the carriage, Yaoyue gently leaned against Jia He's shoulder. "At least you still have a conscience!"
Jia He smiled. "You came out of the palace to find me just for this?"
Yaoyue hurriedly sat upright and looked at Jia He. "Of course not. Great-Grandfather sent me out. He said that the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect has arrived!"
"Yun Yun? What is she doing at the royal palace?" Jia He asked in confusion.
Yaoyue shook her head. "I don't know, but that woman really has presence. She is so beautiful too, and looks far more noble than Sister!"
Jia He chuckled. "What do you think your sister would do if she heard you describe her like that?"
"I'd die!" Yaoyue rolled her eyes at Jia He.
Then Yaoyue shook Jia He's arm and said, "You absolutely cannot tell her. If you do, I... I'll..."
"Then what?" Jia He asked with a smile.
Yaoyue hesitated for a long while before finally saying in a fierce little voice, "If you dare tell her, I'll bite you to death!"
As she spoke, Yaoyue opened her little mouth and revealed her pair of tiny tiger teeth!
Royal Palace Hall.
Jia Xing Tian and Yaoye were both seated there. Across from them sat Yun Yun, dressed in a fitted brocade robe of gold trimmed with purple, her long dark hair gathered into a phoenix-shaped ornament.
She appeared calm and serene, carrying an air of elegant nobility.
Jia Xing Tian looked at Yun Yun and chuckled. "Sect Master Yun, to what do we owe the honor of your visit?"
Yun Yun pursed her lips slightly and said, "I came to the royal palace because I wish to request something!"
Jia Xing Tian immediately asked in confusion and curiosity, "Something? What is it?"
The Misty Cloud Sect had existed no less long than the Jia Ma Imperial Family. The treasures within the sect were likely no fewer than those of the royal family, so why had she come to request something from the palace?
Yun Yun said, "The Purple Spirit Crystal of the Amethyst Winged Lion King!"
Hearing this, Jia Xing Tian was taken aback. He looked at Yun Yun and said, "Sect Master Yun also knows that an Amethyst Winged Lion King has come to our royal family?"
"I investigated the Amethyst Winged Lion King," Yun Yun said. "Not long ago, I saw a purple streak of light flash across the Imperial Capital, so I made a guess!"
"I see," Jia Xing Tian said. "However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King is a sixth-tier magical beast. Naturally, our royal family cannot order it about. I fear I cannot help you with this matter, Sect Master Yun!"
"I understand," Yun Yun said. "That is why I brought something to trade!"
"Well, let me speak frankly, Sect Master Yun. Jia He was the one who brought back the Amethyst Winged Lion King. If you wish to see it, I think it would be best to wait until Jia He returns and speak to him personally!" Jia Xing Tian said.
Yun Yun nodded. "All right. Where is the young prince now?"
"He should be at the Alchemist Association. I have already sent Yue'er to bring him back!" Jia Xing Tian said.
"Thank you," Yun Yun said softly.
