At the Ninth Inn, Lin Sheng personally hosted a banquet for Ye Futian and the people from the ancient royal family of Duan.
Many cultivators in the inn were paying attention to the situation here. They had vaguely guessed where the group of people came from. Now, all of Ninth Street was paying attention to the situation here.
At the banquet, Lin Sheng personally poured wine for the young man and woman in the lead. He looked at them and didn't know how to address them. The young man smiled and said, "I think Master Qi has guessed something. There is no need to hide it."
Lin Sheng smiled and nodded. He stretched out his hand and said politely, "Your Highness, please."
The young man nodded with a smile and glanced at Ye Futian. Sure enough, Ye Futian looked as usual and said, "Master, you must have guessed it already."
"The Tianyi Pavilion is the number one trading pavilion on Ninth Street. The two of you can order the master of the Tianyi Pavilion. I'm afraid there is no one else but a cultivator from the ancient royal family. Of course, I don't know the specific identity." Ye Futian didn't refer to himself as "this lord" anymore. It would be too deliberately hypocritical for him to address them as "Your Highness".
In the Giant Gods Continent, the ancient royal family of Duan stood at the peak. No matter how strong an alchemy grandmaster was, his status was not higher than theirs.
"I am Duan Yi, and this is my sister, Duan Shang. We are from the ancient royal family." The young man introduced them to Ye Futian. He seemed very polite, without the slightest arrogance of a member of the royal family of Duan.
The ancient royal family of Duan had many descendants, and the competition was quite fierce. Of course, what they pursued was not power, but cultivation. In the world of cultivation, power was determined by cultivation. A powerful alchemy grandmaster could be of great benefit to cultivation, so he was naturally a target for recruitment.
Therefore, Duan Yi had always shown enough respect to Ye Futian, not giving him any face at all.
"Greetings, Your Highnesses." Ye Futian bowed slightly. There was no doubt that they were from the ancient royal family, and their surname was Duan. Now that he had come into contact with the princes and princesses of the ancient royal family, his plan was halfway to success.
He could even take them down now, but it would be more troublesome. Moreover, he couldn't escape unscathed. He still needed Old Ma's cooperation.
The most important part of this plan was to lure out the important figures of the ancient royal family. Now that Duan Yi and Duan Shang were in front of him, he could basically succeed as long as there were no accidents.
"Master, you are too kind." Duan Yi waved his hand and said, "Grandmaster's Alchemy skills are so outstanding that I have never heard of it before. May I know where Grandmaster cultivates?"
"I'm not a cultivator from the Giant Gods Continent. I've been wandering around the Shangqing Domain, looking for medicine and practicing alchemy. Now that I've mastered the art of alchemy, I've come to Giant Gods City to look for medicine. It's hard to find it anywhere else," said Ye Futian.
"No wonder." Duan Yi nodded. "Indeed, the Phoenix Marrow of ten thousand years can only be found in the main continent of the Upper Nine Heavens. Grandmaster, are you going to refine the Immortal Elixir?"
"Your Highness also knows?" Ye Futian looked at him.
"The Immortal Elixir is said to be able to revive the dead and regenerate flesh and bones. It is a divine elixir, and the 10,000-year-old Phoenix Marrow is its main ingredient. I've heard about it from the elders in the imperial palace. Grandmaster, why are you so anxious to obtain the Immortal Elixir?" Duan Yi asked again.
"To tell you the truth, I was once heavily injured, which left behind a flaw in my great dao. I need the Undying Pill." Ye Futian's eyes turned to look elsewhere. Duan Yi and the others looked at Ye Futian's face and "understood" in their hearts. They said, "I have been meddlesome. I will punish myself with a cup of wine."
After saying that, he drank a cup.
"Your Highness is too polite," Ye Futian said.
"Grandmaster, whether it is alchemy or cultivation, you are so outstanding. I wonder who your master is?" Duan Shang asked as she looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes. Duan Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly. This was also the question he wanted to ask, but it was more appropriate for Duan Shang to ask.
It would be difficult to achieve such an extraordinary character by relying on his own cultivation alone. There were not many people in the Giant Gods Continent who, in addition to their outstanding alchemy ability, had a flawless cultivation of the Great Path.
If Ye Futian had a master, he must be an extremely famous figure, and it was possible that they also knew who he was.
Ye Futian looked at Duan Shang. Under the deep gaze of the pair of eyes revealed under the mask, Duan Shang felt an invisible pressure. Ye Futian's eyes seemed to be bottomless, as vast as the starry sky.
Duan Shang faintly felt that this grandmaster should not be very old.
"My master likes peace and quiet and does not like to be disturbed. He once instructed that only those close to me can be informed of my identity and brought to see my master," Ye Futian said with a smile. Duan Shang's beautiful eyes froze for a moment, then she avoided Ye Futian's gaze. What he said seemed normal, but why did she feel that something was wrong?
However, there were many hidden cultivators in the world of cultivation. Perhaps Ye Futian's master was such a hidden master, so it was not surprising.
"In that case, we will not ask any more questions," Duan Yi said. "Are you used to living here, Grandmaster? Would you like to go to the palace as a guest so that I can entertain you with great hospitality?"
"No need, this inn is very good, and Senior Lin has taken good care of me," Ye Futian responded with a smile. How could he go to the palace? If he did, he would be completely under the control of the other party.
"Alright, then after I go back, I will first look for the Phoenix Marrow of 10,000 Years for Grandmaster." Duan Yi did not care. He felt that although Ye Futian had toned down his previous arrogance, the arrogance in his bones was still there. Even in the face of them, he still did not have the slightest humble attitude, as if for him, the identity of a prince or princess was not enough for him to humble himself.
But because of this, Duan Yi felt that Ye Futian was not simple. Maybe the other party's master was also a great figure, which was why he had such an aura.
They chatted for a while, and then Duan Yi and Duan Shang took their leave. When they were about to leave, Ye Futian said, "Your Highnesses, even if you do not find the Phoenix Marrow of 10,000 Years, please remember to come and let me know. That way, even if I have to leave, I can still say goodbye to you."
The two nodded slightly. Ye Futian's eyes fell on Duan Shang, which made Duan Shang feel strange.
"No problem, even if we do not find it, we will often come to see Grandmaster," Duan Yi said.
"Since we are friends, there is no need to be so polite. I wonder if I can make friends with you. If Your Highness does not mind, you can call me Brother Qi," Ye Futian continued.
"If Brother Qi does not mind, that would be for the best." Duan Yi laughed heartily. "In that case, we will come to see Brother Qi tomorrow."
"Sure." Ye Futian nodded. "Brother Duan, Princess Shang, take care."
The ancient royal family left and headed in the direction of the palace. Duan Yi smiled and said, "This Grandmaster Qi is interesting. He calls me Brother Duan, but he calls you Princess Shang. His words are quite interesting."
Duan Shang looked cold and said, "I feel that this person is a little unusual."
"Indeed." Duan Yi nodded. "Such a powerful alchemy grandmaster is unfathomable. If he wants to go to any top force, he can do it. I wonder if he has any other purpose besides the Phoenix Marrow of 10,000 Years."
"Mmm." Duan Shang nodded.
"It's okay, let's find out more about him," Duan Yi said. Then he smiled and ordered the people behind him, "After we go back, send a few cultivators of the Ninth Realm from the palace to Ninth Street. Remember, just act like ordinary cultivators. Don't make any moves, and just follow orders at any time."
"Yes, Your Highness." The people behind him nodded.
"I am curious about who this grandmaster is," Duan Yi said with a smile. He was not as friendly and natural as he was in front of Ye Futian before, and he seemed to be a little scheming.
At the same time, in the Ninth Inn, after Duan Yi left, Ye Futian returned to his room and closed the room. He took out the communication item and sent a message into it with his divine consciousness.
After he sent the message, the communication item lit up, indicating that there was a response. Ye Futian put it away and then closed his eyes to rest.
This time, he had to act quickly without delay. Any delay could lead to unforeseen changes, and the slightest carelessness could lead to failure.
On this day, a major event also happened in Giant Gods City and even in the ancient royal family of Duan. The emissary from Four Corner Village arrived and went to the ancient royal family to ask for someone. Recently, the news from Four Corner Village had spread to the Giant Gods Continent, and many big shots in Giant Gods City had heard about it. Now that the emissary from Four Corner Village came, it caused quite a stir.
After Zhang Ye entered the palace, he did not see the overlord of the ancient royal family. Instead, a prince came to see him, and as expected, he did not agree to hand over Fang Gai. Instead, he allowed Zhang Ye to meet Fang Gai and his son. Both of them were fine. The purpose of the emissary was clear. He only wanted the divine technique, but Fang Gai refused to hand it over. As long as he got the divine technique, the emissary would release Fang Gai.
Zhang Ye proposed to communicate with Four Corner Village, so he stayed in the palace. At the same time, he sent a message back. Ye Futian also received the news. He was relieved to know that Fang Gai and the others were safe, even though this was within his expectations.
Next, it all depended on his plan. In this way, Zhang Ye would also face some danger, but as long as he succeeded, Zhang Ye would be fine.
Ye Futian was still refining elixirs in the inn. Many people on Ninth Street wanted to see him, but Ye Futian refused. Those who wanted to see him had no choice but to leave. Little did they know that Ye Futian did not want to see them, which was for their own good. Otherwise, they would be in trouble!
