Most of the people present didn't know that Zhou Yang had mastered the King's prestige. Their understanding was still stuck in the legend that non-royal people couldn't master the King's prestige.
"Zhou Yang, just you wait. Today's matter is not over. Very soon, you will know who is in charge of the Imperial City." Zheng Shaofeng's expression was extremely gloomy. After he finished speaking, he coldly snorted and left with his guards.
"You should know that the next time Zheng Shaofeng comes, you will lose. Otherwise, you will have to face the Chu family's thunderous methods." Chu Xun's eyes were filled with a strong murderous aura. She would never allow a person like Zhou Yang to become an influential person in the Imperial City.
Because in the Imperial City, influential people could only be nobles.
The battle was finally over. Everyone left unsatisfied. Zhou Yang was pulled to the back mountain of the Confucian Institute by Wen Xiyu.
"Zhou Yang, my grandfather wants to see you." Wen Xiyu said with a happy expression.
"He wants to see me? Doesn't he think that my murderous aura is too strong? "Zhou Yang laughed.
"That's because he doesn't understand you. Now he is ready to accept you. With his guidance, you will definitely become a great scholar."
Zhou Yang shook his head and looked at the sky. He said, "In fact, your grandfather is right. My path is different from his, so there is no need."
"No need? But he is my grandfather. Don't you want to be on good terms with him? "Wen Xiyu said with a red face.
"We are on good terms. Is it possible that he won't let us go?" Zhou Yang smiled and turned to leave. Wen Xiyu stopped in her place. Her face and ears were red.
What do you mean by 'on good terms'? He hasn't decided whether or not to be on good terms with you … Wen Xiyu was a little embarrassed. But when she looked up, Zhou Yang had already disappeared.
Yue Mansion.
Zhou Yang had just returned when Ding Mei came to find him. The reason was also because of the Zheng family.
The Zheng family was now eyeing Ding Mei and wanted her to join them.
This was nothing new for Zhou Yang. If he was a member of the Zheng family, he would also be eyeing such a talent.
However, what surprised him was that Ding Mei had pulled him in. She said that if he joined, she would join. This gave him a headache. He had wanted to go into seclusion to cultivate, but now it seemed impossible.
He guessed that the second young master of the Zheng family would soon come knocking on his door.
Although he didn't know much about the Zheng Family, he had heard from Ding Mei that the Zheng Family's First Young Master and Second Young Master were at odds with each other on the surface. Zheng Shaofeng was the eldest son and the heir in name, but the Zheng Family's Second Young Master, Zheng Xingyao, was an alchemy genius. Many in the Zheng Family favored Zheng Xingyao.
"Looks like I can only deal with Zheng Xingyao first."
Shaking his head, Zhou Yang returned to his room to regulate his breathing. The next morning, as expected, Zheng Xingyao came looking for him. On the surface, he was here to vent his brother's anger, but in reality, he was here to recruit soldiers.
However, they did not directly declare war in the Yue Residence. Instead, they invited Zhou Yang to an Alchemy Hall in the Dan Alliance.
Zhou Yang only brought Ding Mei, and Zheng Xingyao did not bring many people with him. Other than his teacher, there was also Bian Ziheng.
It was a good choice for Bian Ziheng to follow Zheng Xingyao.
Zhou Yang also had a good impression of Zheng Xingyao. This young master actually took the initiative to find him and kneel down because of a bet. People who were willing to lose were usually not despicable people.
"Zhou Yang, let's not talk too much. You and my teacher will fight. If you lose, you and Ding Mei will join my Zheng Family. I will give you the position of Guest Elder. How about that?" Zheng Xingyao said loudly.
"What if you lose?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"What do you want?"
"Of course it's equal. If I lose, you and your teacher will join my Zhou Family. How about that?"
"Zhou Family? What a joke. Your Zhou Family is not an Imperial Family. How can we join you? How about this, if my teacher loses, I will become your disciple. "Zheng Xingyao said confusedly.
"Then wouldn't I have an extra burden?"
Zhou Yang was a little impatient. He waved his hand and said: "How about this, if you lose, don't bother me anymore."
"This … Hmph, I will not take advantage of you. If I lose, I will become your disciple. That's settled." After speaking, Zheng Xingyao looked at the old man beside him.
"This old man is Zheng Qiankun. I am Xingyao's uncle and also his teacher." After introducing himself, Zheng Qiankun looked at another old man and said: "This is Elder Tong of the Alchemy Alliance. Today, he will set the test for us."
"Elder Tong!" Zhou Yang nodded.
"Mm. Zhou Yang, I heard Old Man Sima mention you before. I just don't know if you are as amazing as he said. " Elder Tong said as he took out an elixir recipe and said: "This elixir recipe is a new type of fourth-grade elixir that I created these days. This elixir has not appeared in the world yet. So, you have definitely not cultivated it before. My test is to refine this elixir. Whoever refines this elixir first will be the winner."
"Okay." Zheng Qiankun was full of confidence. Zhou Yang also nodded.
In a moment, the two of them came in front of Elder Tong and looked at the elixir recipe carefully.
Both of them had photographic memories. Very quickly, they memorized the elixir recipe.
"Zhou Yang, it can be said that I have the advantage of winning against you. After all, you are very young. Even though you are extremely talented, you lack experience. This kind of elixir refinement tests your experience in the past. In this aspect, I am much better than you. I am sorry."
Zheng Qiankun looked at Zhou Yang proudly. Then, he took the ingredients provided by the Alchemy Alliance and started refining. The whole process was as smooth as moving clouds and flowing water.
Zhou Yang, on the other hand, was refining very slowly because he felt that there was something wrong with the elixir recipe. Especially when there were two ingredients that clearly contradicted each other.
If it was an ordinary person, they would naturally not doubt the elixir recipe like Zhou Yang. They would only need to follow the instructions and refine the elixir. However, Zhou Yang himself had a cautious attitude towards everything. Otherwise, he would not have lived until today.
"There must be a problem. But if I don't refine it like this, will I fail in the end …" Zhou Yang frowned. At that moment, Zheng Qiankun had already entered the Dan Accumulation Realm. He was holding a cup of tea and sipping it.
"Haha … Zhou Yang, it seems that I was right. You lack experience. However, when it comes to elixir refinement, experience is the most important." Zheng Qiankun drank a mouthful of tea and looked refreshed.
"Master, it seems that you have to congratulate me for taking in two generals."
Zheng Qiankun nodded and said: "Yes, you are much stronger than your brother. He did not see the potential of Zhou Yang and Ding Mei. He always wants to show off in front of others."
"It's a pity that my father still doesn't like me." Zheng Xingyao smiled. There was a trace of unruly expression in his smile.
"He is actually fine …"
Zhou Yang originally wanted to see Zheng Qiankun fail before deciding whether to refine according to the elixir recipe or not. But now, it seemed that Zheng Qiankun's elixir was fine. It was even about to be produced.
