The thing that made Ye Xiwen apprehensive wasn't the fact that the Alchemist Association was omnipotent in the Great Wei Empire. Instead, it wasn't only in the Great Wei Empire. In fact, it wasn't only in the Meteor World. In fact, it even had branches in the distant True Martial World.
Its Headquarters was an incomparably huge force. It spanned across the entire world. Even the information recorded in the Northern Dipper World made them incomparably afraid of such an organization.
Ye Xiwen followed the Chief Attendant to the living room. He saw the omnipotent figure of the Great Wei Empire. He was the President of the Alchemist Association — Jiang Zhou Qing.
Ye Xiwen had learned some information about the President of the Alchemist Association on the way here. Jiang Zhou Qing could be regarded as a legendary figure in the entire Great Wei Empire.
A great master of alchemy had once appeared in the Great Wei Empire. He was Jiang Zhou Qing's master. Jiang Zhou Qing had taken over the Alchemist Association of the Great Wei Empire after that great master of alchemy had left. He had become the President of the Alchemist Association. The Alchemist Association had almost fallen apart because of the departure of that great master of alchemy. However, it had slowly recovered its vitality. And, it had become a giant force in the entire Great Wei Empire.
Ye Xiwen saw Jiang Zhou Qing in person. However, he discovered that he was a semi-sage expert. He was clad in a gorgeous robe. He looked very graceful and luxurious. He had white hair and a youthful complexion.
Jiang Zhou Qing didn't wait for Ye Xiwen to step forward after he entered the living room. He cupped his hands in obeisance and said, "Junior greets Master Long!"
The Chief Attendant was dumbfounded on the spot. He hadn't expected such a scene. What kind of person was Jiang Zhou Qing? His strength wasn't the highest. However, he could be regarded as an omnipotent figure. His network of relationships had spread throughout the entire Great Wei Empire. He wouldn't even hesitate to speak to the Emperor. After all, even the Emperor had many requests for him. Moreover, he had the even more terrifying Alchemist Association's Headquarters behind him.
However, he hadn't expected that he would greet Ye Xiwen as a junior. This wasn't an ordinary respect. Greeting Ye Xiwen as a junior meant that he was admitting that he was inferior to Ye Xiwen. In fact, he had regarded Ye Xiwen as his senior.
However, Ye Xiwen didn't feel anything strange about it. He casually sat down in front of Jiang Zhou Qing. In fact, he knew a little about those alchemists even though he didn't walk that path. He knew that there weren't many great masters of alchemy in the Alchemist Association. Moreover, the number of great masters of alchemy was far less than that of sage experts. Their rarity was equivalent to that of a great expert of great sage realm.
Only those who could refine standard grade pills could be called alchemy grandmasters. Any alchemy grandmaster would be respected wherever he went. Now, there were rumors everywhere in the imperial capital that he was an alchemy grandmaster. After all, the situation of alchemy that day could be said to have been broadcasted to the whole city because of the attack of the Fourth Prince. Basically, everyone knew about it.
Jiang Zhou Qing's current attitude was very understandable. After all, any great master of alchemy was worthy of respect. Of course, this was under the premise that they didn't know that Ye Xiwen was a fake.
"Master, that Tian," Ye Master of Master of. Ye. Jiang Zhou Qing asked. The Alchemist Association was jointly established by many alchemists. However, not all alchemists would register with it. Or, they would work for the Alchemist Association.
The Alchemist Association was like the Northern Dipper Alliance. It didn't force people to join. However, they could sell the pellets that they had refined. They could also purchase medicinal ingredients. In fact, they could even issue tasks to purchase some rare medicinal ingredients.
Therefore, there were still a large number of alchemists who wandered about in the association. However, no one knew that they had once existed.
Ye Xiwen shook his head. What kind of joke was this? He had many pill formulas in his hands. However, he didn't know how to refine many pellets. Moreover, he wasn't a true alchemist. So, how could he register with the Alchemist Association?
"That's really a pity. A talented person like Grandmaster will be treated as a distinguished guest even in our Alchemist Association," Jiang Zhou Qing said in a regretful manner. However, he couldn't say anything in the face of such a Grandmaster.
"However, I've taken the liberty to visit you because I have a matter to ask for Great Master's help!" Jiang Zhou Qing said. He didn't continue to pester Ye Xiwen on the issue of registration. After all, it was meaningless.
Ye Xiwen heard this. He wasn't a great master of alchemy. However, he also understood that it wouldn't be a trivial matter if it could disturb a great master of alchemy.
"It's like this … My master has recently obtained a pill formula which contains the secret recipe of an ancient immortal pill. However, he's afraid that he won't be able to refine it by himself. Therefore, he has invited his friends to hold a small-scale conference on alchemy to discuss the details of these pill formulas. I don't know if Great Master Long would be interested?" Jiang Zhou Qing asked.
[Ancient immortal pill?]
"Will other great masters of alchemy go there?" Ye Xiwen asked. Since ancient times, many pill formulas had been lost because of various expeditions.
Such discussions would often take place among alchemists.
"Well, it has already been confirmed that six or seven great masters of alchemy will go there. Great Master Long isn't a registered alchemist of our association. However, this is a grand occasion for our fellow alchemists. My master hopes that everyone will go there!" Jiang Zhou Qing replied.
His master was obviously the only legendary great master of alchemy in the Great Wei Empire. However, it was said that he had left the Great Wei Empire a long time ago. And, nobody knew where he had gone. It seemed that Jiang Zhou Qing knew about it.
A great master of alchemy could be compared to a great sage expert in terms of preciousness. And, this was only the lowest level of a great master of alchemy. A great master of alchemy would be exceptionally precious if he were to be a high-ranked great master of alchemy. In fact, his name would shake the entire region.
There were several great masters of alchemy. So, the attendance of one of them was enough to make many people scramble like ducks. Moreover, so many people were going to go there together. Perhaps, the entire Meteor World would boil with excitement.
The Chief Attendant of the Inner Servants was sighing with emotion as he saw this scene. Even the Wei Empire's Martial Emperor didn't care about these great masters of alchemy. And, several great masters of alchemy would appear at the same time. The entire Great Wei State would boil with excitement if this news were to spread. In fact, even Jiang Zhou Qing would have to respectfully invite Ye Xiwen to appear.
"Alright, I'll appear on time!" Ye Xiwen replied. He thought for a moment, and then decided to go and take a look. Relatively speaking, great masters of alchemy were relatively rare. So, it was time for him to make friends.
Ye Xiwen wasn't afraid that he would be exposed at that time. He had all kinds of dans and alchemy techniques in his mind. Many of those great masters of alchemy couldn't explain the dans and alchemy techniques. But, he had them at his fingertips. It could be said that he had mastered them thoroughly. So, he wasn't afraid at all.
He wouldn't be afraid even if they wanted to refine some dans on his own. After all, he could launch a surprise attack on the spot. This wouldn't be a problem as long as he had the mysterious space.
"That's great. We'll personally send the invitation card to invite Master Long when the time comes!" An excited look appeared on Jiang Zhou Qing's face. His attitude was very humble. He could be considered as a person who could summon the wind and summon the rain in the Great Wei Empire. However, he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect in front of Ye Xiwen who was a great master of alchemy in his heart. After all, Ye Xiwen was an existence on the same level as his master.
Jiang Zhou Qing informed him about the time after he had confirmed that Ye Xiwen would go. It would be held after two years. The reason why he had decided to put it after two or ten years was that it would take a considerable amount of time to collect those medicinal materials. And, that was because they would discuss the feasibility of this ancient recipe at that time. Moreover, they would also refine it on the spot. It was because this recipe was extraordinary. Therefore, several great masters of alchemy had gathered here. Everyone would refine it together in hopes that they would succeed in one try.
Ye Xiwen indeed had enough time as far as time was concerned. Two or ten years should be enough time to settle the matter of the Twenty-third Prince. Then, he would go to the Great Alchemy Convention.
In fact, it might even happen after he had participated in the core disciple competition.
The Twenty-third Prince returned from the Imperial Palace not long after Jiang Zhou Qing had left. He had a somewhat disappointed look on his face.
Ye Xiwen had expected that the Wei State's Martial Emperor would lay his cards on the table with all the princes during this attack. However, he hadn't appointed someone as the successor as Ye Xiwen had expected. This was the most likely outcome.
He had merely made the princes behave themselves. He would slowly examine who would inherit the throne in the end. And, he would make a decision after six months.
Everyone looked at each other inside the private room. They hadn't expected that the final result would be like this. The Wei State's Martial Emperor hadn't appointed anyone as the successor. Instead, he had said that he would examine the performance of the princes. However, no one could find any excuse for this reason. After all, this old ancestor had been in closed-door training all year round. So, he obviously didn't know much about these princes.
Some people had also speculated that the Wei State's Martial Emperor had used his last resort in order to save the current Emperor. It was said that the current Emperor had succeeded to the throne under the instructions of the Wei State's Martial Emperor. So, it was obvious that the Wei State's Martial Emperor had regarded him highly.
No one knew what the Wei State's Martial Emperor was thinking. However, other people naturally had nothing to say since he had said so.
Time passed day by day. And, a month's time had passed in the blink of an eye. Everything seemed to have returned to tranquility. Everyone was thinking that this might continue until six months later.
Suddenly, a huge change completely disrupted the Imperial Capital that seemed to have returned to its peaceful state.
A huge meteorite had fallen from the sky, and had smashed into a deep mountain in the territory of the Great Wei State. The huge impact had razed the entire mountain to the ground. Several nearby cities had been thoroughly submerged in the dust brought by the terrifying shock wave. Many experts and ordinary people in the cities had died a violent death in an instant.
This sudden change had shaken the entire Great Wei State. Some people had discovered that a sinkhole had appeared after the meteorite had fallen. It was so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen. However, the most dreadful thing was that some strange creatures had crawled out of that sinkhole.
Some people had recognized these creatures. And, a name had resounded throughout the entire Great Wei State — the Bereaved Race.
