Resolution

Seeing that the other party had noticed his little move, Fa Wutian was somewhat surprised.

I didn't expect to run into an expert in a place like this!

After all, to detect his soul probe, the other party's soul power had to be at least at the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm!

It seems this fellow's soul power isn't weak!

No wonder he had managed to break through to become a Fourth-Rank Alchemist!

"Young friend, I was presumptuous just now! May I ask what great opportunity you were referring to?"

After coming to his senses, the man immediately clasped his hands toward Fa Wutian.

After all, from what had just happened, he could tell that Fa Wutian's soul power was absolutely no weaker than his own!

He did not believe that such a highly promising alchemist could possibly be a fraud!

However, Fa Wutian did not answer his question. Instead, he asked curiously, "May I know your name, Senior?"

"I dare not accept the title of Senior! Young friend, your alchemy skills are likely no worse than mine! I am Ouyang Feng, an independent cultivator from the Blue Maple Empire! I heard that pills could bring enormous profits in the Black-Corner Region, so I came to take a look!"

Hearing this, Fa Wutian understood.

After all, independent cultivators lacked cultivation resources the most!

Even as alchemists, their resources would eventually run dry.

Therefore, whenever they refined pills for others, they had to maximize their profits!

So, upon hearing of the enormous profits in the Black-Corner Region, they immediately rushed over.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fa Wutian, and I am a student of Canaan Academy. At the same time, I am also a Fourth-Rank Alchemist!"

The reason he emphasized that he was a Fourth-Rank Alchemist was to intimidate everyone!

After all, he was already a Fourth-Rank Alchemist at such a young age. It was clear just how exceptional his talent was!

Thus, in the coming negotiations, they would also take his potential into consideration!

This would also help him in his efforts to win everyone over!

Sure enough, upon hearing that Fa Wutian was a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, everyone was utterly shocked.

"A Fourth-Rank Alchemist? Isn't that the same as Master Ouyang?"

"That's right! And he has even greater potential than Master Ouyang! After all, he hasn't even undergone his coming-of-age ceremony yet!"

"I wonder why someone like him has come looking for us? Could he have been sent by Canaan Academy?"

Seeing the crowd discussing the matter heatedly, Ouyang Feng could not help but frown.

"Quiet! What kind of behavior is all this noise and commotion?"

After hearing Ouyang Feng's rebuke, the crowd finally settled down.

Seeing this, Ouyang Feng turned to Fa Wutian and said, "Young friend, please continue!"

Fa Wutian nodded.

"The great opportunity I mentioned is actually an invitation for all of you to join my Nine Heavens Pavilion!"

"Nine Heavens Pavilion? May I ask what level of strength your Nine Heavens Pavilion possesses?"

"To be ashamed, the strongest person in the pavilion at present is me! However, please rest assured! Although the Nine Heavens Pavilion has only just been established, it has enormous potential! As long as we all work together, we will definitely make it famous across the Douqi Continent!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at one another.

They all thought Fa Wutian was bragging.

After all, the Nine Heavens Pavilion was a newly established faction, and its strongest member was Fa Wutian before them!

If it truly had as much potential as Fa Wutian claimed, why would he need to invite them to join?

Thus, no one thought highly of Fa Wutian's invitation.

However, there were always exceptions!

Ouyang Feng was very interested in it!

Although he knew that the current Nine Heavens Pavilion was not worth joining, he believed in Fa Wutian's potential!

After all, he had never seen such a young Fourth-Rank Alchemist in his entire life!

Therefore, he believed that as long as Fa Wutian did not die young, he would definitely rise to the pinnacle of the Douqi Continent!

By then, the Nine Heavens Pavilion would absolutely become a super faction of the continent!

If he refused now, he would never have another chance to join later!

After all, adding flowers to brocade could never compare to offering charcoal in the snow!

Therefore, this was a gamble!

If he won, he could glimpse a higher realm! If he lost, there would be no real loss!

After all, with his potential, at most he could become a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. Beyond that, without a heaven-defying opportunity, it would be utterly impossible!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Feng's gaze grew even more resolute.

"Young friend, if you do not mind, I am willing to join!"

Fa Wutian was overjoyed upon hearing this.

When he saw everyone's reactions, he had thought this trip would end in failure.

He had not expected to hook the biggest catch instead!

After all, as a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, Ouyang Feng would be an honored guest wherever he went!

Yet he was willing to join him.

It seemed he had been drawn in by Fa Wutian's potential!

"Good, good, good! It is the honor of our Nine Heavens Pavilion that Master Ouyang is willing to join us! Is anyone else willing to join the Nine Heavens Pavilion?"

At this moment, seeing Ouyang Feng take the initiative to join the Nine Heavens Pavilion, everyone became hesitant.

After all, they did not know why Ouyang Feng had suddenly joined a newly rising faction.

"Why did Master Ouyang join? Could there be some hidden scheme here that we don't know about?"

"Who knows? But both of them are Fourth-Rank Alchemists. Perhaps they set this up in private!"

"That brother has a point! Joining a faction means our free lives will be gone from now on! We absolutely cannot agree to that!"

"That's right!"

In the end, after a round of discussion, only a handful of people joined the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

Moreover, that was only because of Ouyang Feng!

These people were all friends who usually exchanged insights with Ouyang Feng!

Seeing this, Fa Wutian sighed helplessly.

Forget it, forget it! There may be few of them, but at least none are below the third rank!

With these people, the Nine Heavens Pavilion's pill supply could be delivered on schedule!

"Since you are unwilling to join, I will not force you! Farewell!"

With that, he left with Ouyang Feng and the others.

Inner Academy.

After signing a series of unequal agreements with Su Qian, Fa Wutian finally brought Ouyang Feng and the others into the Inner Academy.

Nine Heavens Pavilion, Alchemy Room.

"Master Ouyang, from now on, your task will be to provide the pavilion with the required pills at fixed times every day. As for your compensation, someone will tell you about it later! You may also use the pavilion's medicinal herbs as you wish! Of course, you are not allowed to hoard them privately! And the pills you refine must also be handed over!"

Ouyang Feng understood.

"Pavilion Master, we understand all of this. After all, it is a good thing for the pavilion to provide us with medicinal herbs for practice. If we still shamelessly hoarded them privately, wouldn't that be slapping ourselves in the face?"

"Mm, then I'll leave this place to you."

"Pavilion Master, please rest assured!"

With that, Fa Wutian left and found Han Yue, telling her about Ouyang Feng and the others.

"Although the alchemist issue has been resolved, if we have to give the academy twenty percent of our annual profits, we won't earn much Fire Energy either."

"It can't be helped. Do you think Elder Su Qian would have allowed them into the Inner Academy otherwise?"

In truth, this was only the result of his repeated pleas.

Otherwise, Su Qian would never have allowed strangers into the Inner Academy!

If not for Fa Wutian's monstrous talent, he would never have made an exception for this!
