Alchemist Alliance Leader Zhang Yueshan, Ye Nan's Parents

A few minutes later.

Wang Pei reached the top floor of the Alchemist Alliance.

Alliance leader Zhang Yueshan's office was there.

After he knocked, Zhang Yueshan's voice came from inside the office.

Wang Pei entered the office and saw a man who appeared to be in his fifties.

The man was Zhang Yueshan, the leader of the Jiang City Alchemist Alliance and a sixth-grade alchemist.

"Wang Pei, what is it?"

Zhang Yueshan looked at Wang Pei, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Alliance leader, take a look at this first."

With that, Wang Pei took out the Wild Rage Pill.

"This pill..."

Zhang Yueshan looked at the Wild Rage Pill in Wang Pei's hand.

At first glance, the Wild Rage Pill seemed to be nothing more than a low-level first-grade pill.

A pill like that hardly interested him.

But after another look, Zhang Yueshan found it strange: he didn't recognize the pill.

"Wang Pei, what kind of pill is this?"

"Alliance leader, I don't know either. A young man named Ye Nan just refined it in our Alchemist Alliance's free alchemy room."

Wang Pei said.

Zhang Yueshan's pupils contracted when he heard Wang Pei say that.

He hadn't expected Wang Pei to say that.

It had just been refined?

And in the free alchemy room?

But weren't all the medicinal ingredients in the Alchemist Alliance's free alchemy room substandard?

"Bring it over. I'll test it and see what kind of pill it is first."

A thought occurred to Zhang Yueshan, and he spoke to Wang Pei.

"Yes, alliance leader."

Wang Pei then handed the Wild Rage Pill to Zhang Yueshan.

After taking the pill, Zhang Yueshan placed the Wild Rage Pill on a pill-testing machine.

The pill-testing machine was designed specifically to identify pills and their medicinal ingredients.

As long as a pill was known on Blue Star, the pill-testing machine could identify it.

The Wild Rage Pill was exceedingly obscure, but it was still a pill from Blue Star.

Before long, the pill-testing machine identified the Wild Rage Pill and its medicinal ingredients.

When they saw that the ingredients used to refine the Wild Rage Pill were all substandard,

Zhang Yueshan and Wang Pei were both dumbstruck.

"How did he know about such an obscure pill?"

Wang Pei was baffled.

"Could he be a top alchemy genius from some big city?"

Zhang Yueshan began to ponder as well.

"No, alliance leader. Ye Nan is from our Jiangcheng. I asked him."

Seeing that the alliance leader had the same idea he'd had earlier, Wang Pei hurriedly explained.

"He's from our Jiangcheng?"

Zhang Yueshan was stunned.

His eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Pei beside him in disbelief as he continued:

"Our Jiangcheng has..."

"By the way, what was his Medicinal Fire like?"

"The staff in the free alchemy room said his Medicinal Fire was the very best kind."

Wang Pei recalled what the free alchemy room staff had said.

"Then that means a super alchemy genius has appeared in our Jiangcheng."

Zhang Yueshan grew excited. He knew all too well what the appearance of a top alchemy genius meant for Jiangcheng.

"By the way, alliance leader, before Ye Nan left, he also asked me for the ingredients to refine a Spirit Forging Pill. Do you think he can refine one?"

Another thought occurred to Wang Pei, and he spoke to Zhang Yueshan again.

"You said Ye Nan was a young man. First, tell me just how young he is."

Zhang Yueshan knew that if Ye Nan wasn't all that young, then with a top-tier Medicinal Fire and terrifying talent for alchemy,

refining a Spirit Forging Pill would be entirely possible. After all, the Spirit Forging Pill was only a high-level third-grade pill.

"He looked less than twenty."

"Wh... what!?"

Zhang Yueshan stared at Wang Pei, somewhat tongue-tied.

Ye Nan was less than twenty?

What kind of age was that?

"Alliance leader, do you think we should ask Ye Nan to come to our Alchemist Alliance again?"

Wang Pei looked tentatively at Zhang Yueshan.

"There's no hurry. In a couple of days, Wu Kun, the head of the Wu Family, will need a mid-level fifth-grade Blood Battle Pill. When the time comes..."

"Alliance leader, you don't mean to have Ye Nan refine the Blood Battle Pill, do you?"

Wang Pei hadn't expected the alliance leader to say such a thing, and he stared blankly at Zhang Yueshan.

"Yes. I'd like to see just what his skill level is. Judging by its quality, this Wild Rage Pill is simply top-grade."

"Even if he can't successfully refine the Blood Battle Pill, all we'll lose are the ingredients for it. That's no great loss."

It was as though certain scenes had already surfaced in Zhang Yueshan's mind, and a smile appeared on his face.

"So, go find out where Ye Nan is now. That way, we can invite him when the time comes."

Zhang Yueshan spoke to Wang Pei again.

"There's no need, alliance leader. Ye Nan is a student at Jiangcheng Middle School. It was written clearly in his information."

Wang Pei replied.

"Good. When the time comes, go invite Ye Nan."

Zhang Yueshan had never met Ye Nan, nor had he seen Ye Nan refine pills.

But from the Wild Rage Pill and Wang Pei's description, he knew Ye Nan's alchemy skills definitely went beyond those of a mere first-grade alchemist.

When Wang Pei brought Ye Nan over, even if Ye Nan didn't dare refine the Blood Battle Pill, their Alchemist Alliance would at least have shown the proper attitude.

In any case, their Jiang City Alchemist Alliance would nurture Ye Nan no matter what.

Meanwhile.

After obtaining the ingredients for the Spirit Forging Pill, Ye Nan headed back to his family.

Although there were no alchemists in the family, they did have a medicine cauldron.

When he arrived at the family residence, he saw his older cousin Ye Tangxing coming toward him.

"Ye Nan, you're back."

When Ye Tangxing saw Ye Nan, he greeted him first.

Lately, he had found Ye Nan increasingly mysterious.

At the school square, Wu Chen had actually invited Ye Nan to attend an alchemy class in front of so many people.

He found it utterly absurd.

"Mm."

After nodding, Ye Nan walked off in one direction.

"Tch, what are you acting so aloof for? The college entrance exam will show your true colors!"

Ye Tangxing watched Ye Nan's retreating figure, a look of disdain on his face.

Although their Ye Family was only a middle-ranking family in Jiangcheng,

they still had some businesses in Jiangcheng.

His parents and grandfather, and even his eldest uncle and the others, usually didn't stay at home.

But today, his parents were at the family residence.

When he entered a room, he saw his parents.

His father was named Ye Yuancheng, and his mother was Du Cuiping.

"Dad, Mom."

Ye Nan called out to Ye Yuancheng and Du Cuiping.

"Xiao Nan, did you come back from school for something?"

Ye Yuancheng and Du Cuiping looked at Ye Nan in puzzlement.

"I'd like to use the family's medicine cauldron."

"The medicine cauldron?"

Ye Yuancheng and Du Cuiping exchanged a glance, their faces full of confusion.

Naturally, they didn't understand what Ye Nan wanted the medicine cauldron for.

"Xiao Nan, what do you need the medicine cauldron for?"

Du Cuiping was baffled.
