Too late to regret

Dan City Chief!

This title had always been vacant; Dan City hadn't had one for many years.

Yet now, a Chief position suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

This implied that when Lord Dan was not present, the Chief had the authority to manage all affairs of Dan City.

On Spirit Treasure Peak!

Ye Chen, who was plotting how to deal with Ye Zhen, was dumbfounded when he heard the news.

His face twisted terribly.

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"How can that good-for-nothing become the Chief?"

"What qualifications does he have to be the Chief?"

With a savage and disbelieving expression, he shot directly into the sky.

However, he had barely flown halfway when a large hand pulled him down directly.

"Where are you going?"

The person who came was precisely Ye Qingshan.

Regarding Ye Chen's frequent suppression of Ye Zhen, he knew about it but had always been too lazy to bother.

Ye Chen was the heir he favored the most.

He also placed his high hopes and expectations on him.

As long as he didn't go too far, he always turned a blind eye.

Now, Ye Zhen had soared to great heights, and his rise was unstoppable.

He felt that his grandnephew would surely feel resentful, so he rushed over to advise and restrain him.

Seeing Ye Qingshan, the savage look on Ye Chen's face did not diminish.

"Grandpa!"

"How can that good-for-nothing be qualified to be the Chief?"

"How can a mere salted fish suddenly turn over?"

"I'm going to ask Lord Dan, what aspect of Ye Zhen is stronger than me that he can become the Chief of Dan City?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Ye Qingshan flew into a rage.

He directly scolded and struck, delivering a big slap.

"You truly disappoint me too much!"

"What kind of existence is Lord Dan?"

"Even we must respectfully bow when we meet him; how can his decisions be questioned by a junior like you?"

"Originally, I thought you were steady in your actions, had a mind, and had vision. But now? Your performance truly disappoints me!"

Facing Ye Qingshan's heartfelt admonition, the savage look on Ye Chen's face intensified.

He widened his eyes, full of disbelief, and said, "You hit me?"

"I just want to know what qualifications Ye Zhen, that good-for-nothing, has to rise to power. Is that wrong?"

He roared, "In terms of cultivation, he's not as good as me!"

"In terms of aptitude, he's far inferior to me, by who knows how much."

"In terms of character and methods, he can't compare to me in anything!"

"I just want to know, how can such a useless good-for-nothing lord over me?"

It could be said that the sudden bad news, and even Ye Qingshan's attitude, caused Ye Chen, who had been the center of attention since childhood, surrounded by countless people, and hailed as a prodigy, to completely lose his composure.

Facing Ye Chen, who was roaring like a bull, Ye Qingshan felt an endless sorrow.

Is this the heir he chose?

Blindly arrogant, complacent!

Unable to accept the success of others, always living in a self-centered world.

With such a character, how could he achieve great things?

Compared in this way, he suddenly realized that Ye Zhen was superior to him by who knows how much.

It was laughable that he had previously treated rubble as treasure and pearls as stones.

At this moment, Ye Qingshan, who was already disheartened, seemed to have aged several decades out of thin air.

He looked at Ye Chen.

He smiled sadly, "Don't you want to know why Ye Zhen is inferior to you in every way, yet can become the Chief?"

"This old man will tell you now."

"It's because he has two fifth-grade alchemists standing behind him!"

"He has two fifth-grade Alchemy King as masters!"

"What? You mean?" Ye Chen was struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief.

"That's right, the one rumored to have been taken as a disciple by two Alchemy King is him!"

As soon as Ye Qingshan's words fell, Ye Chen was instantly as if electrocuted.

"No, no, no, impossible!"

In his heart, he refused to believe it a million times over.

But he also knew that Ye Qingshan had no reason to deceive him.

"Hmph, to be frank with you, those two Alchemy King are under Zhong Qing, who paid with two Wang-level Divine Weapons back then."

"Originally, this old man wanted you to go and build a good relationship with this person."

"It was your arrogance, your conceit, your looking down on everything that made you miss this opportunity for nothing."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen, who was already like being struck by lightning, at this moment, was like a mollusk with its spine removed, directly collapsing to the ground.

He looked blankly at the sky: "So, the opportunity to become a disciple of the two great Alchemy King was originally mine?"

"The opportunity to be personally appointed Chief by Lord Dan was also mine?"

"It was I who pushed this opportunity away for nothing, which created that salted fish?"

As soon as he thought that the heaven-defying opportunity that originally belonged to him had been snatched, Ye Chen's features were twisted to the point of distortion.

The hatred in his heart, like the waters of three rivers, surged and gushed incessantly.

However, Ye Qingshan's words directly sank his heart to the bottom.

"Now Ye Zhen has risen, completely soaring to great heights."

"From now on, this old man does not want to hear about any more conflicts between you and him."

"Otherwise, don't blame this old man for expelling you from the family."

This was a warning, and even more, a deterrent.

Completely extinguishing Ye Chen's desire for revenge.

Looking at Ye Chen, who had a face devoid of life, Ye Qingshan also lost the desire to comfort him.

After all, his own mentality had also been quite shattered recently.

"You take care of yourself!"

He snorted coldly, then turned and left with his hands behind his back.

Leaving only Ye Chen, who was sometimes resentful, sometimes angry, sometimes regretful, with various emotions constantly intertwining, slumped on the ground.

At this moment, he felt as if the sky was gray.

A sad aura permeated all around him.

"No?"

After a long while, a roar filled with unwillingness echoed through the sky.

It seemed to become his last stubbornness!

...

The aftermath of the two great Alchemy King taking disciples finally subsided after two or three days!

At this time, Zhong Qing was in the Mountain Resort, beginning his grand alchemy endeavor!

It must be said that the Myriad Origin Dan Scripture was profound, recording many methods of forming pills and the path of alchemy.

It was a true imperial scripture.

Zhong Qing truly didn't believe that with such a powerful tool in his hand, he couldn't refine a high-grade elixir.

Believe it or not, after some research and exploration, he truly managed to concoct a brand new method of alchemy!

In a courtyard, a large cauldron stood in the center!

Zhong Qing was by the side of the cauldron, placing various precious spiritual materials, beginning to attempt to refine a unique elixir.

Just as he was fully immersed in his grand alchemy endeavor, outside the door, the figures of the Five Great Hall Masters appeared.

It must be said that after careful consideration, the Five Great Hall Masters finally decided that they still had to visit Zhong Qing.

To see if there was any turning point in the situation.

However, before they could enter, they were stopped by Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian, who were guarding the door!

"Our Peak Master is currently refining pills; no entry is allowed to disturb him!"

Wu Yue, like a door god, coldly shouted.

Shi Xiaotian's face was even more sullen, giving them no good expression.

The five people's faces were awkward!

Ye Qingshan even smiled apologetically, "We naturally dare not disturb him."

"We can just wait outside the door."

"After Mr. Zhong finishes refining pills, we hope you two can inform him."

"Just say that we are visiting to see him!"

After speaking, the five people stood respectfully to the side.

Through the wide-open courtyard gate, they watched Zhong Qing who was refining pills.

This undoubtedly piqued their curiosity.
