The next day, Eight Ancient Continents, a middle class country's capital.
The meeting place was chosen by Lu An. Although the other party was the Southern Cloud Emperor, he still had to be cautious. The reason why he chose a middle class country's capital was simple. The other party was the emperor of an empire, so he couldn't eat too badly.
In the best tavern in the Royal Capital, Lu An had booked the entire place in the morning, so it was very quiet. Accompanying Lu An were his two wives and Liu Yi. The four of them were already seated in the best private room.
Beauty Yang and Yao's expression were very normal, because they knew that the emperor was also a level 8 heavenly master. Beauty Yang was also a level 8 heavenly master, so she naturally wasn't afraid. As for Yao — although her current strength was only equivalent to a level 7 heavenly master, she wasn't far from breaking through. Furthermore, she was the princess of Sengoku, so her status was much higher than an emperor.
As for Lu An and Liu Yi, both of them were very calm. They didn't show any reverence because of the other party's status. Only Lu An frowned slightly, obviously unwilling to accept this meeting.
"It's almost time." Lu An raised his head to look at the three women and said, "I'll go to the main hall and prepare to receive someone."
The three women stood up, but were stopped by Lu An, "I'll go alone, you don't have to receive me."
Beauty Yang and Yao didn't refuse, nodding lightly. Especially Beauty Yang, she was only willing to show respect and welcome to Lu An. She didn't want to do that to others.
"I'll go with you." Liu Yi said, "After all, I'm doing business in the Southern Cloud Empire, it wouldn't be good if I don't go."
Lu An nodded, and followed Liu Yi to the main hall. Indeed, not long after they arrived at the main hall, a ray of light lit up the main hall.
A transfer array emerged, and two figures walked out. One of them was the familiar princess Yan Yi, and the other was undoubtedly the Southern Cloud Emperor.
Lu An's eyes didn't move as he sized up the Southern Cloud Emperor. This person's height was average, perhaps even a little shorter than average. He was about the same height as the slender Princess Yan Yi. His face was that of an ordinary person, and he didn't look imposing at all.
Lu An didn't delay. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior Lin Xiaoliu greets Senior."
Lu An only cupped his hands and did not bow. The reason was very simple, he placed himself on the same level as the Southern Cloud Emperor. If it was only the two of them meeting, Lu An might bow and salute. However, there were still two wives waiting in the private room. Whatever attitude he had, his two wives would have the same attitude. He didn't want Beauty Yang and Yao to feel wronged.
Seeing this, Liu Yi also bowed slightly to salute, showing the etiquette of an equal. The Southern Cloud Emperor, Wang Yan, smiled and didn't blame him. He said, "You're truly a young hero. Young hero Lin's aura is definitely not ordinary!"
"Senior is overpraising me." Lu An replied politely. He turned to Princess Yan Yi and said, "Princess."
Princess Yan Yi smiled and winked at Lu An.
"The dishes are ready. Senior, please follow me." Lu An said.
Everyone walked up the stairs and soon arrived at the large private room. Beauty Yang and Yao also stood up when they saw the four of them. However, they didn't bow like Liu Yi. They didn't even take the initiative to speak.
"These two are my wives." Lu An introduced them to Wang Yan.
Seeing the two women for the first time, Wang Yan's eyes were obviously stunned. It couldn't be helped. The two women's beauty was beyond the definition of beauty. However, Wang Yan was an emperor after all. His shock didn't stop for long. He quickly revealed a mediocre smile and said, "You're indeed a hero and a beauty. Greetings to the two wives."
Beauty Yang and Liu Yi then said to Wang Yan, "Nice to meet you."
The six of them sat down. Although Wang Yan looked mediocre, he had good eyesight. Naturally, he could feel everyone's strength, including the powerful Beauty Yang. He could also see everyone's mood. Lin Xiaoliu's two wives were not interested in his arrival. Only Lin Xiaoliu and Liu Yi were more enthusiastic.
Wang Yan was a guest, so Lu An naturally had to take the initiative to speak. Liu Yi helped to control the atmosphere, and Princess Yan Yi also helped. Soon, the four of them started chatting.
"I have to say that Young Hero Lin's strength yesterday really surprised me." Wang Yan's face was filled with an amiable smile. "However, I really didn't expect Young Hero Lin to be a Level Seven Heavenly Master. This is the first time I've heard that a Level Seven Heavenly Master can refine a Level Eight Pill."
Hearing this, Lu An smiled. At such a close distance, the other party could indeed confirm his strength. There was no need for him to pretend. He said, "By chance, I learned a method that can change the flame. It just happens to be suitable for refining pills."
"Haha, Young Hero Lin is too humble." Wang Yan said with a smile. He glanced at Beauty Yang and thought about it. In the end, he did not say what he wanted to say.
Before coming, he had wanted to propose marriage to this young man. After all, his daughter liked this person very much. However, his daughter had told him not to mention this matter. Originally, he did not understand and only agreed on the surface. However, after coming here, he did not expect this person's wife to be a Level Eight Heavenly Master. Moreover, she did not seem to have a good temper. In the end, he did not dare to say it.
After chatting for a while, Lu An felt that the time was about right. He took the initiative to ask, "May I know why Senior is meeting with this junior?"
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Naturally, it's to recruit talents for the empire. Right now, the four empires are in troubled times. There are constant conflicts and a large-scale war could break out at any time."
A large-scale war?
Lu An and the others frowned and looked at each other. According to what they knew, although there were conflicts between the sects, it was not to the point of falling out. As long as there were no major problems between the sects, even if the four empires fought each other, there would not be a large-scale war, right?
"Senior, you're exaggerating." Lu An thought for a while and said, "I've been wandering around the four empires for the past few days. I didn't find any signs of war."
"That's just the surface." Wang Yan looked at Lu An and his eyes suddenly changed. He said, "I think the four of you should know about the fifteen sects and sixteen factions, right?"
Hearing this, Lu An frowned slightly and did not say anything. Beauty Yang and Yao immediately became vigilant and looked at Wang Yan coldly.
"The four of you don't need to be like this. I don't mean any hostility. However, the four of you are strong. It's normal for you to know about the fifteen sects and sixteen factions," said Wang Yan.
Lu An's eyes became serious. He nodded and said, "This junior does know about them. Does it have anything to do with the fifteen sects and sixteen factions?"
"That's right." Wang Yan nodded and said, "Since you know about the sects, you should know that the four empires are actually under the control of the sects. However, because of the protection of the sects, the four empires have been able to stand tall in the Eight Ancient Continents."
"However." Wang Yan's voice paused. He looked at Lu An and said, "Right now, the sects are showing signs of letting go of the four empires."
Hearing this, Lu An was slightly startled. Although he did not show much emotion on his face, he immediately sent a message to his two wives with his divine sense and asked, "Have you heard about this?"
"No." Beauty Yang and Yao simultaneously sent a message to Lu An with their divine sense. Beauty Yang said, "However, the Violet Town Sect doesn't have a close relationship with the other sects. The accuracy of this information needs to be verified."
Lu An frowned slightly. He looked at Wang Yan and said, "Senior wants me to work for the Southern Cloud Empire?"
"That's right." Wang Yan nodded and said, "An Eighth Level Alchemist is very attractive to a Eighth Level Heavenly Master. I wonder if Young Hero Lin is interested?"
Lu An's expression was grave. If this news was true, the war between the four great empires would definitely cause great chaos. It was possible that it would attract the attention of the eight ancient clans. Once he joined the war, his whereabouts would very likely be exposed.
"Sorry, I only want to cultivate. I don't want to participate in these matters." Lu An said.
Hearing Lu An's answer, Wang Yan's face was filled with regret and pity. He said, "Then what about the Alchemist Conference?"
"I will do my best for the Alchemist Conference." Lu An said, "Princess Yanyi helped the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce so much. I will do my best to help the Southern Cloud Empire get a good ranking."
"That's good." Wang Yan smiled and said, "My Southern Cloud Empire doesn't want to be number one. We only hope that we won't be the worst. If possible, number two is also not bad. If Young Hero Lin can get a top two ranking for the Southern Cloud Empire, you will be an honored guest of my Southern Cloud Empire. Even if you don't want it, I will still give you a piece of land. "
Lu An was startled. He didn't expect Wang Yan to be so thorough. He thought that a piece of land might be beneficial to the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. He said, "Since that's the case, junior thanks senior."
