The next day, within the City Lord's Residence's Meeting Hall, many people had gathered early in the morning. Today was a very important day. A young Alchemist had come yesterday, and today, he would compete with the City Lord's Residence's Alchemist Dong Linfu for the position of Chief Alchemist.
To be able to enter this place, even in the Prefecture, one must possess two qualities. First, cultivation base. The lowest cultivation base here was a late Earth Immortal expert. There were even a few half-step Heaven Immortal experts. Second, loyalty. The people here were absolutely loyal to the Prefecture. At least, they could guarantee that the secret of the cold poison in the Prefecture wouldn't be leaked.
On both sides of the hall, experts were sitting side by side. The one sitting at the head was the alchemist, Dong Linfu. Whether it was his cultivation base or his identity, he was the most qualified to sit at the head of the hall.
The Prefecture Lord hadn't arrived yet. Young Miss and Jiang Chen hadn't appeared yet, but the people in the hall were already talking about it. A mere late Human Immortal dared to challenge a true alchemist, Dong Linfu? This was something worth discussing.
"Who the hell is that Jiang Chen? Isn't he overestimating himself? A puny Human Immortal dares to challenge Grandmaster Dong? I really don't know what gives him such confidence. "
"That's right. Young Mistress has always been calm and steady. Why is she acting so unreliable this time? The City Lord Mansion is one of the top powers in Yan City. Not everyone can come here and be a guest. Moreover, it's unheard of for an immortal to be a guest."
"Don't look down on that Jiang Chen. Yesterday, I saw Jiang Chen concoct pills outside the Prefecture with my own eyes. His concoction technique can only be described as shocking. At least, I have never seen such a terrifying technique in my life."
"That's right. This Jiang Chen is a genius that shouldn't be underestimated. His combat strength is also extremely terrifying. Although he's only a late Human Immortal, an early Earth Immortal expert couldn't even withstand a single strike from him. He can defeat an opponent who's two levels higher than him. We can never do such a thing, but there's still a huge gap between Jiang Chen and Grandmaster Dong. It seems like Jiang Chen isn't strong enough to challenge Grandmaster Dong."
"Humph! I would like to see this man named Jiang Chen later. Let's see if he's really that powerful. "
…
A lot of people were filled with curiosity towards this Jiang Chen. At the same time, they also felt that the Eldest Miss was giving preferential treatment to Jiang Chen. This made them very dissatisfied in their hearts and they were quite resentful. However, there were also a few who followed Yan Qingcheng and witnessed Jiang Chen concocting pellets with their own eyes yesterday. They felt that it was well-deserved for Jiang Chen to obtain the guest chat position. The scene of Jiang Chen concocting pellets yesterday could be described as shocking. It had already left an unerasable impression in their hearts.
At this time, two silhouettes walked in from the outside. It was a man and a woman. At first glance, they looked like a perfect match. They were none other than Jiang Chen and Yan Qingcheng. The fact that Yan Qingcheng was accompanying Jiang Chen showed how much importance she attached to Jiang Chen.
In an instant, many people's gazes fell on Jiang Chen. Many of their gazes were as sharp as knives, causing the atmosphere in the hall to become tense. It was the first time for many of them to see Jiang Chen's appearance. Of course, they had to observe him carefully.
Everyone present was an expert. An invisible pressure was exerted on Jiang Chen. Facing this pressure, Jiang Chen still looked relaxed as if he couldn't feel it at all. His every movement was full of confidence and calmness. Many people were surprised that a young man could have such a temperament. Some people's impression of Jiang Chen had changed a lot just from the first impression.
"Dear elders, this is Jiang Chen. Today, he is going to compete with Uncle Dong in concocting the Ardent Yang Pill for my father. I believe this scene is worth watching."
Yan Qingcheng said with a smile.
"Since the Eldest Miss thinks so highly of him, we also want to see how capable he is to challenge Great Master Dong."
Someone said.
"Everyone, just wait and see. My father has already come out of seclusion. He and Uncle Yuan will be here soon."
Yan Qingcheng said. Almost as soon as her voice faded, two strong winds suddenly blew in from outside the hall. After that, they turned into two silhouettes. Two middle-aged men had already entered the front of the hall. Such a terrifying speed made people exclaim in admiration.
Everyone, including Dong Linfu, immediately stood up from their seats. They didn't dare to show any neglect towards these two newcomers.
One of them was wearing a light yellow robe. He was tall and slender. His face was resolute and handsome. His eyes were sparkling. His every movement carried a noble Qi. There was a faint fluctuation of air around him. That was the special sign of a Heaven Immortal expert.
In the Immortal World, the Heaven Immortal realm was a threshold, a very big threshold. Those who could become a Heaven Immortal would have a certain status in many places. Only after reaching the Heaven Immortal realm could one truly control the surrounding air and fly.
This resolute man was none other than the tyrant of Yan City, the Prefecture Lord of the Prefecture, Yan Dongliu. His cultivation base had already reached the early Heaven Immortal realm.
The other man had a similarly powerful Qi. His cultivation base wasn't any weaker than Yan Dongliu's. His name was Yuan Hong, Yan Dongliu's sworn brother. He held a very important position in the Prefecture. There were a total of two Heaven Immortal experts in the Prefecture.
"Prefecture Lord, Elder Yuan."
Everyone greeted them respectfully, not daring to show the slightest neglect.
"En, let's have a seat."
Yan Dongliu waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down. Then, he and Yuan Hong turned around at the same time and their eyes fell upon Jiang Chen.
"Young Master, this is my father and this is Elder Yuan Hong. They are both Heaven Immortal experts, the most powerful existences in the Prefecture."
Yan Qingcheng introduced.
"Jiang Chen greets Prefecture Lord and Elder Yuan."
Jiang Chen clasped his fists at the two in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Upon seeing this, Yan Dongliu and Yuan Hong couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in their eyes. One should know that given their status, any ordinary late Human Immortal expert would be trembling in front of them. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, had such a temperament at such a young age. It was really rare for someone like him to have such temperament.
"Jiang Chen, I heard that your alchemy skill is superb. You are able to concoct the complicated Ardent Yang Pill with just a late Human Immortal cultivation base."
Yan Dongliu said, his tone full of doubt. If this young man wasn't recommended by his daughter, he was afraid that he wouldn't waste his time on a Human Immortal.
"If I'm not wrong, the cold poison in Prefecture Lord's body has already penetrated deep into his bone marrow. If it's not removed as soon as possible, even a hundred Ardent Yang Pills won't be able to solve the root of the problem."
Jiang Chen didn't answer Yan Dongliu's question, but changed the topic.
