Within the Lanjiang City Lord Residence, City Lord Gan Taihua was having a headache over the matter between House Wei and House Wu.
Every city had at least two or more factions of the same level. Only then could they keep each other in check and have the motivation to compete.
However, none of the City Lords wished to see a single clan monopolizing the city.
That was why Gan Taihua had tried to mediate between the two, ordering the two families not to start a war. However, he hadn't expected that House Wei would not give up and set their sights on a marriage alliance.
That way, House Wu would still be House Wu on the surface. However, as time passed, House Wei would eventually hollow out House Wu.
But now, he couldn't very well say that the Wei family couldn't marry the Wu family's daughter, could he? That wouldn't be justifiable. Moreover, the Wei family might not necessarily give him face at the moment.
If House Wei was a moderate person, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if they were used to being arrogant and despotic, he couldn't predict what they would do in the future. He was afraid that his position as city lord would come to an end.
Thinking of this, Gan Taihua's brows furrowed. He wondered if he should find House Wu to discuss how to deal with House Wei.
"Knock knock …"
Someone knocked on the study's door.
"Who is it?"
Gan Taiwen's expression changed into a dignified one, his voice full of vigor.
"City Lord, there is an alchemist outside requesting an audience."
A man's voice rang out outside the door.
"Alchemist."
Hearing this, Gan Taiwen couldn't help but be surprised.
An alchemist who could be crowned with the title of "Alchemist" was at least an Earth rank.
He couldn't understand why an Earth rank alchemist would come to his small city.
"Quick, invite the master in."
Gan Taiwen ordered after thinking for a moment. Then, he felt that something was wrong and stood up. "Wait, it's better for me to welcome him personally."
An Earth rank alchemist would have a certain status even in a big city like Sealed Darkness City. As the city lord of Lanjiang City, he definitely couldn't afford to offend him.
After opening the door, Gan Taiwen walked with the young guard who had come to report …
"That master is an Earth rank alchemist."
He was still a little uncertain, so he asked again.
"No."
The young guard's expression was a little agitated, and his words were a little unclear as he shook his head. When Gan Taiwen furrowed his brows, he took a deep breath and said, "The medicinal effect of that Lord Alchemist is in the form of a liquid …"
"What? Liquid form?"
Gan Taiwen's eyes widened and he stopped in his tracks. He looked at him in astonishment and lost his usual calm. After a while, he asked, "Are you sure?"
"Earth …" If the medicine could be in a liquid form, then it would mean that he was at least an Heaven rank.
Even though he had been through a lot, he still felt a little dizzy at this moment.
What kind of concept was a heaven-ranked alchemist? Even the City Lord of Sealed Dark City had to treat him as a distinguished guest.
This was because earth rank alchemists would be the City. "The Earth rank alchemist" Qiu was "s Lord" Seven Seven Earth rank "s s Chen 'Heaven rank alchemists.
There was no other reason. Most of the heaven-grade alchemists had been recruited by the major powers and clans. Even the City Lord of Sealed Nether City couldn't compare to them.
"Yes."
Under his gaze, the young guard was a little anxious, but he still nodded his head.
In fact, he was so shocked that he couldn't even remember how he walked in.
In an instant, Gan Taiwen's footsteps quickened. In the end, he started running.
What a joke. He was just a small city lord. How could he dare to let a Heaven rank alchemist wait outside his residence? If that Heaven rank alchemist got angry, even the Sealed Darkness City's City Lord wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
After all, everyone knew that behind every Heaven-grade Master, there was a terrifying overlord.
…
Outside the city lord's residence, Quan Yong was still in a daze. He looked at Feng Hao in a daze. His mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.
Although he had his suspicions, he didn't dare to think that it was a Heaven rank alchemist.
Therefore, when he saw the liquid-like medicinal properties on Feng Hao's fingertips, he stood rooted to the ground.
This was a huge blow to him. He finally understood why Feng Hao didn't care about the Wei and Wu Families.
It was because the two families weren't even worthy of being in his eyes.
A Heaven rank alchemist actually called him big brother. Quan Yong felt as if he was dreaming.
Even the Sealed Darkness City's City Lord didn't have such an honor.
As he thought about it, his heart was filled with excitement.
This time, he had really met a real benefactor. This was a real big shot.
He couldn't imagine that someone so young was already a Heaven rank alchemist.
"Alchemist, please forgive me for not going out to meet you."
From afar, Gan Taiwen, who had asked about Feng Hao's appearance, cupped his hands towards Feng Hao and greeted him respectfully. Gan Taiwen's warm attitude surprised some of the passersby. They couldn't understand what was so special about these two that they could make a city lord like him treat them with such respect.
"Mm."
Feng Hao only nodded indifferently. He didn't show much enthusiasm.
"Alchemist, please."
Gan Taiwen wasn't the least bit surprised by Feng Hao's attitude. He respectfully invited Feng Hao and Wu Yong into the city lord's residence.
He was extremely shocked. Although he couldn't confirm whether Feng Hao was a Heaven rank alchemist, the fact that he couldn't see through this young man's cultivation was enough to make him take him seriously.
He had reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm in his twenties. This cultivation speed was something that only the genius disciples of the superpowers could achieve.
He was almost certain that the young man before him had an astonishing background and was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.
When they arrived at the great hall, he invited Feng Hao and Quan Yong to their seats of honor.
Feng Hao acted naturally, while Quan Yong was overwhelmed by the favor. Gan Taiwen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Why was this middle-aged man in the Martial King realm so friendly with this Heaven rank alchemist?
This was something he couldn't quite figure out.
"May I know why the alchemist has come to visit my Lanjiang City today?"
Gan Taiwen asked carefully, not daring to show the slightest hint of surprise.
"Hehe, just a small matter."
Feng Hao put down the teacup in his hand and replied indifferently. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a Wei clan in your Lanjiang City?"
"That's right."
Gan Taiwen was taken aback, but soon nodded.
From his tone, it seemed that the Wei clan had offended this alchemist.
