The master is around

At the dining table, the banquet continued!

Having learned that Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian were both Alchemy Kings, Zhou Shen felt like he was floating on air.

At the same time, he became even more curious about Zhong Qing's identity.

After all, two Alchemy Kings both treated him with the utmost respect.

After taking a long while to accept the fact that they were Level 5 Alchemy Kings, he asked again.

"Two brothers, I wonder what kind of relationship you have with Brother Zhong?"

Seeing his shock coming in waves like the ocean, Wu Yue found it quite interesting.

He didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

He spoke frankly: "Fortunately, the Peak Master took us in and allowed us to become Outer Sect Disciples in the Sect!"

"Buzz..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Zhou Shen's heart felt as if it had been baptized by a nuclear bomb.

It was bombarded relentlessly.

His pupils contracted again, and his eyes turned red.

It was as if his eyeballs were about to pop out from the shock.

"Two great Alchemy Kings... are just Outer Sect Disciples!"

My goodness!

Does it have to be this exaggerated?

Does it have to be this stimulating?

They are Alchemy Kings!

In any power, they would be stars surrounded by the moon, the center of attention.

Even in the current top power of the Eastern Region, the Pill Cauldron Pavilion, they would be equals to the Five Great Hall Masters of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion.

Yet you tell me now that such people are only Outer Sect Disciples!

Zhou Shen had previously vaguely known that the brother he had befriended was extraordinary, but he hadn't expected him to be extraordinary to this extent.

This was truly amazing, truly heaven-defying!

Yang Tiancheng also felt monstrous waves rising in his heart, just like Zhou Shen!

In fact, his inner shock was even greater than Zhou Shen's.

As a Third Grade Alchemist, he knew exactly how much weight a Alchemy King carried.

Looking at the entire Pill Cauldron Pavilion, or rather the entire Eastern Region, a Alchemy King was the ceiling of the alchemy world.

Such a person could establish a transcendent power all by himself if he wanted to.

If given time to develop, perhaps one day, a sixth or seventh Holy Land might appear in the Eastern Region.

Such a figure was actually willing to become an Outer Sect Disciple.

Looking at them, they even seemed somewhat proud of this status!

What kind of Sect could this be?

And just how terrifying was this unassuming young man before him?

At this moment, Zhong Qing was clearly sitting there calmly and composed.

Yet his figure was imprinted on Yang Tiancheng's heart like a great mountain.

Majestic!

Mysterious!

Completely unfathomable!

It was laughable that he hadn't even looked at the other party properly before.

Thinking about how he had acted like a big shot in front of such people, Yang Tiancheng felt like a clown.

It seemed both funny and ridiculous!

At the same time, his posture while pouring wine for everyone became increasingly humble!

As they exchanged drinks, Zhou Shen's eyes became unfocused.

He leaned over to Zhong Qing and gave a thumbs up.

With drunken, blurry eyes, he said: "Brother, I used to think I was amazing, but that was mostly just bragging."

"I didn't expect that you are truly amazing!"

"If you ever need a hanger-on in the future, don't forget me!"

These words, half-joking and half-serious, made Zhong Qing smile.

He felt no disgust at all; instead, he found the other party sincere.

Real and unpretentious!

He patted the other's shoulder and said: "I don't lack hangers-on, but I do lack a few friends."

"If you have any trouble in the future, just let me know. If I can help, I will never refuse!"

These words made Zhou Shen giggle for the whole afternoon.

Finally, he collapsed on the dining table.

While fast asleep, he kept mumbling about how he had met a truly amazing brother.

Zhong Qing had Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian take Zhou Shen to the inn.

Seeing this, Yang Tiancheng exclaimed in his heart.

Good heavens, this kid really doesn't know what kind of dog-shit luck he's had.

To actually climb up to such figures.

It seems I need to build a good relationship with this kid Zhou Shen from now on.

If I can connect with figures like Zhong Qing through him.

Then this trip was definitely not in vain!

Yang Tiancheng even began to ponder which of his descendants had good looks and outstanding talent.

If he could set up a marriage with Zhou Shen, he would definitely be one of his own in the future!

This whole thing turned out quite fantastical.

Originally, Zhou Shen had racked his brains and exhausted his efforts trying to curry favor with Yang Tiancheng.

Now, it was very much the other way around.

It had become Yang Tiancheng racking his brains to win over Zhou Shen.

He even managed to drink his way into a potential marriage connection.

Of course, that is a story for another time; we won't mention it for now.

At the same time.

Pill Cauldron Pavilion!

In the headquarters building!

The Five Great Hall Masters gathered once again!

"Old Xiaoyao, still no news?"

The Hall Master of Lingbao Hall asked with a frown.

Jun Xiaoyao sat at the head of the table and shook his head helplessly.

He had been trying to contact Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian for some time recently.

But no matter how he tried, there was no reply.

This was worrying all the Hall Masters.

One must know that whether the Pill Cauldron Pavilion could advance further depended entirely on these two.

The five of them sat together to discuss a plan!

Someone suggested mobilizing the Pill Cauldron Pavilion's subordinates to search for their traces.

And ask them clearly in person!

Others felt this was inappropriate.

For existences like them, inquiring about their whereabouts was undoubtedly a very taboo matter.

If this action completely angered the two, it would be a case of the loss outweighing the gain.

After much discussion, they couldn't come up with an effective plan.

Finally, someone suggested waiting and seeing!

Try contacting them for a while longer, and if they still couldn't be reached, try another plan.

With that, the meeting concluded.

After the five parted ways, the depressed Hall Master of Lingbao Hall, Ye Qingshan, returned to Lingbao Hall.

On the long table in the main hall, a stack of scrolls was placed; these were the details of some Deacons and Elders recruited by Lingbao Hall in recent times.

Seeing the information recorded on the scrolls, one of them was a Third Grade Alchemist.

Ye Qingshan's depressed mood finally improved slightly.

A Third Grade Alchemist, even within the entire Sect, was a pillar of strength.

He was worth looking at with high regard and treating seriously.

Especially since this Third Grade Alchemist was also extremely young.

It was not impossible for him to challenge the Fourth Grade in the future.

However, to retain such talent, the attitude must be right, and the benefits must be sufficient.

"Someone, come here!"

As Ye Qingshan summoned, someone hurried in from outside.

"Hall Master, what are your orders?"

"Summon Ye Zhen to me."
