Xiao Yan did not go straight back to the Xilin Mountain Range after leaving the western valley of the Flat Mountain. Instead, he turned and went to a city in the Western Wilderness.
Distant Saint City, where the Alchemist Alliance of the Western Region was located, was also one of the most prosperous cities in the Western Region.
Xiao Yan went to Distant Saint City this time, hoping to use his relationship with the Alchemist Alliance to get their help in this war.
Xiao Yan did not wait too long after arriving at Distant Saint City, but went directly to the headquarters of the Alchemist Alliance in the city. He hoped to see Xing Gan this time. If that was the case, he might be able to achieve his purpose of coming here.
Xiao Yan arrived in front of the Alchemist Alliance. He looked at the enormous building in front of him and involuntarily felt a shock in his heart. It was indeed worthy of being the Alchemist Alliance. It was likely that no one in the entire western region would be able to afford such an extravagance.
The building of the Alchemist Alliance was like a rugged mountain. The layers of buildings were high into the clouds, and the peak was so high that it reached the nine heavens. The towering figure was like a huge beast standing in the city. There was a pill fragrance permeating the air from time to time, as if it was shrouded in clouds, making it look even more magnificent.
The tall main gate stood in the city in a domineering manner. At this moment, Xiao Yan was standing in front of the gate.
Looking at the two soldiers in black armor standing on both sides of the gate, Xiao Yan could not help but raise his eyebrows. The cultivation of these two people had actually reached the level of three star Dou Di.
Letting a Dou Di guard the gate, this was probably something that even the Qin Wasteland Maze Valley could not do. The Alchemist Alliance was really rich and imposing.
Then, Xiao Yan lifted his foot and was about to enter, but at this moment, the two soldiers suddenly took a step forward and stretched out their hands at the same time, blocking Xiao Yan's path.
"Mister, if you want to enter the Alchemist Alliance, you must first show the alchemist badge granted by the Alliance, or the cultivation of the Origin Transformation Realm. Otherwise, no one is allowed to enter."
Two majestic and overbearing voices rang out at the same time, causing Xiao Yan, who had taken a step forward, to involuntarily take a step back. Only then did he understand.
However, just as Xiao Yan was about to take out the Alchemist Badge that Han Dong had given him, Xiao Yan's side suddenly felt a wave of energy rushing over. Xiao Yan glanced from the corner of his eyes and saw a young man who was about to push open the door of the Alchemist Alliance.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yan frowned. His body moved slightly to the side and easily dodged the young man's action. At the same time, his body moved to the side as he looked at the latter with a solemn expression.
"Hmph, where did this little brat come from? Can't you see that Grandmaster Zhao is here? You actually dare to block the door!"
Seeing the displeasure on Xiao Yan's face, the young man's face was filled with disdain. He coldly glanced at Xiao Yan before instantly turning his head. With a smile, he looked at an old man wearing alchemist robes behind him.
The old man's figure was slightly stooped. Aside from his head, his entire body was covered by the alchemist robes. His old face was both withered and yellow, but it was also filled with vitality. The most eye-catching hooked nose was his greatest distinguishing feature. A pair of deeply sunken old eyes gave off a sharp light. Combined with his stooped body, he looked like a vulture, causing people to tremble in fear.
"Jia Ming, before we left, didn't I tell you not to get angry today? Do you want the people in the Alliance to laugh at me?"
The old man spoke faintly. His gaze did not land on Xiao Yan from the beginning until the end. That young man called Jia Ming hurriedly smiled and nodded when he heard this. However, his face was filled with an unconcerned expression.
This was only today. If it was any other day, why would this old man care about suppressing others?
"Alright, let's go in."
The old man indifferently said. Then, he slowly moved forward. When Jia Ming saw this, he hurriedly went forward to support him. As for the two soldiers who were blocking Xiao Yan's path, they hurriedly bowed and opened up a path for the two of them. Only when they saw the two of them enter the Alchemist Alliance did they shake their heads and withdraw their gazes. Clearly, even though they were clear about the nature of these two people, they were helpless.
Soon after, Xiao Yan once again stepped forward. With a faint smile on his face, he took out the alchemist badge from his storage ring. When the two of them saw the badge, their faces immediately revealed a respectful expression. Xiao Yan also politely nodded his head and entered the Alchemist Alliance.
When they saw Xiao Yan's figure enter, the two soldiers once again withdrew their gazes. They looked at each other and could not help but nod their heads. Their mouths were filled with amazement. Compared to the old man who had just entered, the current Xiao Yan far surpassed him in terms of age and behavior. Sometimes, one really could not judge a person based on his appearance.
After entering the Alchemist Alliance, there were quite a number of people walking about in the spacious hall on the first floor. As for the two people who had just entered, they had already disappeared.
After a few inquiries, Xiao Yan met a white-haired old man with a kind face in the hall on the first floor. The latter was the deacon of this place. He was in charge of guiding newcomers to the Alchemist Alliance for the first time.
"Haha, young friend, this old man is Han Dan. I heard you say that you have come to the Alliance this time to find the vice chairman?"
Arriving in front of him, the old man's turbid eyes swept across Xiao Yan's body. A glint immediately flashed in the depths of his eyes. He immediately cupped his hands together and politely asked.
"That's right. This junior has come to the Alliance this time to find vice chairman Han Dong."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan did not dare to tarry and hurriedly cupped his hands together. With his cultivation, it was naturally not difficult for him to see that this old man was actually an Origin Transformation expert. He never imagined that even an ordinary-looking deacon in the Alchemist Alliance would possess such a cultivation. It was truly eye-catching.
"Haha, young friend, you may not know this, but the Alchemist Alliance has a special rule. Anyone who comes to the Alchemist Alliance for the first time can only request to see the person who invited them to the Alliance unless they have made an appointment beforehand. Thus, I'm sorry, but I wonder if you can show me your alchemist badge before you enter?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the old man's face did not show much surprise. He had met far too many people who wanted to see the president. However, rules were rules, and no one could change them.
Xiao Yan could not help but be surprised by this. He never imagined that it would be so difficult to meet someone in the Alchemist Alliance. However, he understood after thinking about it. The Alchemist Alliance had an extraordinary status on the continent. There were countless people who wanted to curry favor with the Alchemist Alliance. It was normal for the Alchemist Alliance to have such a rule.
Afterward, Xiao Yan casually handed over the badge in his hand to the old man. He clearly understood that the name of the person who invited them would be clearly engraved on the back of every badge issued by the Alchemist Alliance. This method would save him a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, when the old man saw the two words' Han Dong 'engraved on the back of the badge, shock immediately appeared on his face. He never imagined that the young man in front of him would actually be personally invited by Han Dong. However, since that was the case, he naturally had to bring Xiao Yan to see Han Dong.
"Young friend, please follow me."
The old man smiled amiably and led the way for Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan also smiled and nodded. He took back the badge that the old man had returned. After which, he followed the old man upstairs to search for Han Dong.
