Ye Futian was stunned as well. He knew Beigong Shuang well enough to know that she was not really mocking anyone by saying this; she was just speaking to him. But cultivators had excellent hearing, and they could perceive everything she was saying.
Thus, all the people watching from the mountain range around the Alchemy Divine Palace turned their gazes towards her.
A look of surprise came into Beigong Shuang’s eyes. She still wanted to question Ye Futian. After all, she had seen him perform alchemy, and these people here were far inferior to him. Even as a lower level Renhuang, he was able to create pills that upper-level Renhuangs would desire. But from what they had heard, this place was the foremost alchemy holy land, and it was said that all the skilled alchemists in the Donghua Domain were here. Thus, it must be that all the alchemists in the Donghua Domain were weak.

Where are you from that you would dare speak so arrogantly?
The cultivator from Qin He Palace unleashed the power of the Great Path, which fell directly upon Beigong Shuang. It was like an invisible hand was pressing down from the sky and grabbling the Great Path of Space. This put Beigong Shuang under a great amount of pressure.
Beigong Ao took a step forward, standing in front of Beigong Shuang. The Great Path of Thunder swept out from him, and lightning flashed from his eyes, piercing towards his opponent. Their gazes locked. They were both of the eighth tier. An invisible aura swept out.

Do you have doubts about the arts of the Alchemy Divine Palace themselves, or do you think the alchemists are simply too weak?
Zi He had crushed Liu Chuan in terms of his alchemy, but he still turned his gaze to Beigong Shuang when he heard her voice. The power of the Great Path seeped out from him.

What are you all doing?
said Lin Qiu, stepping forward and looking at all of them.
You all have said that the greatest alchemists of the Donghua Domain are gathered here at the Alchemy Divine Palace. Since you are allowed to boast so, can she not also voice her opinion?


Who are you?
Zi He’s gaze fell upon Lin Qiu.

That is Lin Qiu of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range,
said Zhong Fan from beside Zi He. He naturally recognized the other. The Dragon Submission Mountain Range was one of the top forces of the Dongxiao Continent. He had seen Lin Qiu in Wangdu before.
Lin Qiu’s people and the Alchemy Emperor’s people were mingling together, obviously trying to make friends with each other. After all, who would not want to make friends with a powerful alchemy force. It was just like Qin He Palace and the Alchemy Divine Palace.
Zi He looked at Lin Qiu. No wonder he had dared to walk out here; he was a member of the Lin family of Dragon Submission Mountain Range. The three lords of Dragon Submission Villa were all ninth tier Renhuangs, so powerful that ordinary forces would not dare offend them. Of course, the Alchemy Divine Palace was not an ordinary force.

People from the Dragon Submission Mountain Range and Tower of the Alchemy Emperor on the Taiyuan Continent have come here today to cause trouble, it seems,
said the old cultivator from the Alchemy Divine Palace who was standing up in the air.
Or perhaps the alchemy masters of the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor want to continue testing themselves?


We just happened to be passing through,
answered Lin Qiu with a smile.

Just passing through?
answered the man, turning his gaze to Beigong Shuang.
Then what did what you just said mean?

Beigong Shuang did not know what to say. She looked to Ye Futian, who said,
If you want to say something, just say it.


I had observed that your alchemy powers were rather commonplace and was asking why this was called the foremost holy land for alchemy in the Donghua Domain. Are all the alchemists in the Donghua Domain so unskilled?
asked Beigong Shuang, but she was a little doubtful. Was it possible that she was mistaken, for she had only seen Ye Futian perform alchemy before? Perhaps he was just extraordinarily skilled?
However, hadn’t Ye Futian just barely learned alchemy? Although he was very talented, for him to already be better than them would be impossibly quick. And these people were known as the best alchemy holy land in the Donghua Domain. Why did she feel there was such a large gap between their alchemy and Ye Futian’s?
Previously, on Eastern Deity Island, Ye Futian had casually made alchemical pills that were far beyond his level. Although the ones he had created when he had first started were not the finest quality, they were still quite good.

The ignorant speak their minds without fear. This is truly shameless talk,
came an elder’s cold voice. He looked at Beigong Shuang and said,
Since you think our alchemy is weak, let us see how good yours is.


No, I will not,
responded Beigong Shuang.
Her words stunned everyone. Many of them smiled. She said no? Yet she mocked the alchemical ability of the Alchemy Divine Palace?

You say you won’t show us your alchemy, and yet you dare mock us?
Zi He’s gaze pierced through Beigong Shuang.

But he will.
Beigong Shuang turned to Ye Futian, shocking him. Was she selling him out?
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze turned upon Ye Futian, including Liu Chuan and the other cultivators who followed the Alchemy Emperor. Ye Futian had previously said that he did not understand alchemy, that he was only a beginner at it, but now, Beigong Shuang said he would show them his alchemy. Did this mean that Ye Futian was actually skilled at alchemy? Otherwise, Beigong Shuang would not have said anything.

Are you a disciple of the Alchemy Emperor as well?
Zi He asked him.

No, I’m not,
said Ye Futian with a shake of the head.

Since your friend has seen fit to mock us, why don’t you go ahead and show us how good your alchemy is,
said Grandmaster Zi He.

I have not been studying alchemy for long, so I do not have a great understanding of it. Perhaps now is not a good time,
said Ye Futian.

Why don’t you speak plainly? You wish to leave, don’t you?
said the cultivator from Qin He Palace coldly. His power filled the area where Ye Futian and the others were standing.
Lin Qiu and the others took a step forward. Lin Qiu swept his gaze over everyone, saying,
Why are you doing this? If she wants to leave, are you really going to keep her here?

The Alchemy Divine Palace was powerful, and they had invited many forces here to make allies, but the people of Dragon Submission Villa were no pushovers.
Moreover, since they had already allied with the Alchemy Emperor, it would be impossible for them to make friends with the Alchemy Divine Palace; otherwise, they would be fair weather friends.

Yes,
said the cultivator from Qin He Palace.
If she does not explain herself, she will not be allowed to leave.


When has Qin He Palace ever been this overbearing? Moreover, have you become a vassal of the Alchemy Divine Palace?
mocked Lin Qiu. But the other man ignored him. He was staring at Beigong Shuang.
She had said something so presumptuous and thought she would be able to leave here easily?
Ye Futian looked over at him and said,
Although I do not have a great understanding of alchemy, the level of the alchemy that I just observed here did seem to be a little low. Would you like me to give an account of myself?

Everyone was shocked when they heard him say this so casually. The level of the alchemy at the alchemy conference was a bit low?
Everyone else was speechless. This alchemy conference had been held mainly for Grandmaster Zi He. He was thought to be the alchemist with the most potential in all of Wang City. And Zhong Fan of the Alchemy Divine Palace was here as well. Their levels were, in Ye Futian’s opinion, a little low?
Moreover, judging from his tone of voice, he seemed to have some plan in mind. He seemed to be dismissing the strength of the other alchemists here.

Sheer arrogance!
All the alchemy masters attending the conference stared at Ye Futian, looking livid. He had offended all of them by these words.

That is truly arrogant. If that is the case, then let us see how good your alchemy is,
said a mid-level Renhuang coldly to Ye Futian, staring at him. This alchemist was proud of his own ability and had often been flattered by others.

I will wait and said,
said the cultivator from Qin He Palace to Ye Futian. And he was not the only one. Everyone on the mountain was looking at Ye Futian. Could this man who had come here casually really be a powerful alchemist?
Ye Futian took a few steps forward. Zi He stepped backward, and Zhong Fan and the others made way as well. They all watched Ye Futian. They wanted to see just how strong this man’s alchemy was.
Ye Futian waved his hand, and suddenly, an alchemy cauldron floated in the air in front of him. Next, a current of the Great Path spread out from him. The Flames of the Great Path filled the cauldron in an instant.
The brilliant flames were suffused with a divine aura. It was as if they were immortal fire. Ye Futian took some herbs and put them in the alchemy furnace, using the flames to dissolve them. He sat there, cross-legged, his eyes closed. He seemed calm and self-possessed and very casual.

His flames are very strong…
Everyone’s expressions changed as they watched. From what he was doing, they could tell just how strong his flames were.
The image of a phoenix seemed to appear within the flames along with a divine tree. It seemed to be growing inside the cauldron.
Zi He’s gaze suddenly froze. As an alchemy master, he was very sensitive to the flames of the Way. When Ye Futian started, he could feel just how extraordinary his flames were.
This man was not as simple as he seemed.
Ye Futian performed his alchemy very casually, constantly adding more herbs to be burned in the cauldron. He was light and carefree. It was as if he truly were a student first learning alchemy, but the herbs he was using were no ordinary herbs.
Everyone in the vast space before the mountain watched him do his alchemy, but he seemed not to care. He seemed completely casual, or maybe this was how he always did alchemy.

Is he really going to do it like this?
asked someone attending the Alchemy Conference.
He is not using any special techniques?


It’s just like I said, I don’t really understand alchemy,
answered Ye Futian with a smile. But in reality, he was controlling the power of each and every flame within his cauldron.
The flames grew hotter, and lines of the power of the Great Path flowed into the cauldron. The tree grew older and larger and a cyclone gradually formed within the cauldron alongside it, making screaming noises emit from it constantly. This was the roar of the Great Path.
The tree continued to grow, spreading out from the cauldron. It was suffused with a life aura. Everyone saw that wherever its branches enveloped, there seemed to be brilliant light blooming. As the divine light grew fiercer and fiercer, they could see that a pill was growing within it and transforming into a piece of fruit.
In a flash, the light of the Great Path covered a vast area, making everything seem mystical and magical. The pill fruit was shining brilliantly like a divine fruit of the Great Path.

This…
Everyone’s expression changed to one of shock. The fruit was absolutely flawless.
Ye Futian waved his hand and took the fruit within it. Suddenly, the rays of the light of the Great Path disappeared. Ye Futian looked at everyone and said,
I don’t understand alchemy very well, but I hurriedly created this pill. Naturally, it cannot be compared with those of the alchemists of the Alchemy Divine Palace. After all, all of the alchemical talent in the Donghua Domain is gathered there. However, the alchemy level being performed here at the Alchemy Conference was rather low up ’till now. Thus, you all must not have been performing up to your usual standards.

Everyone was plunged into silence when they heard Ye Futian’s words. His mocking tone left them all speechless.
They had asked Ye Futian to show his skills to them. Now that he had done so, would the Alchemy Divine Palace be satisfied?
