The Alchemist Graing had cluded and had bee the hottest topic throughout the entire Jia Ma Sacred City.

  "Have you heard? Rumor has it that the guy who came in sed pce, Yan Li, is actually the Deputy Chairman of the Alchemist Association from the Chu Yun Empire. He used a pill called the Appearance Recovery Pill to revert his looks to his younger self so he could sneak in. His goal was to disgrace our Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association."

  "No way! There's actually such a pill?!"

  "Don't get your hopes up. I heard that this Appearance Recovery Pill only restore youth temporarily, and it's a peak tier 5, nearly tier 6 medial pill. If you're thinking about turning back the clock, you keep dreaming."

  Since Yan Li didn't win the championship, the imperial family of the Jia Ma Empire soon publicly revealed his true identity and executed him on the spot, not giving the Chu Yun Empire any time to react.

  The Chu Yun Empire lost a peak 4th-tier alchemist, which was an eveer blow than losing a Dou King.

  "A Deputy Chairman of the Chu Yun Empire's Alchemist Association sneaked in by cheating and still lost to Xiao Yan in the end. Tsk tsk tsk, that guy is just too impressive."

  "Ahem, what aspect of 'impressive' are you referring to?"

  In an inn, the two men discussing the matter exged gheir eyes filled with envy.

  Who wouldn't want a physique like that?

  Now, besides holding titles like the you 5th-tier alchemist in history and champion of the Alchemist Graing, the moniker 'Xiao the Hunk' was also spreading around, especially among women.

  At this moment, Xiao Yan, who had been hiding all day wearing his Soul Robe, sat dejectedly in a er, feeling utterly miserable.

  He had only inteo promote his medial pills to sell them food prid exge them for the main ingredients of tier 5 pills. But he hadn't expected such a thing to happen!

  Who could he even try to reason with about this?!

  He could only bme himself for modifying the pill recipe, even ging the alchemy method, using four kinds of Heavenly Fmes, and then ing it without testing!

  Xiao Yan sighed deeply. There was no point in hiding any longer. He still o purchase medial ingredients to refine pills.

  Pulling the brim of his hat low, Xiao Yahe inn and headed to the Miteer Au House.

  He directly took out a token. This was an Elder Token of the Miteer that Hai Bodong had given him. Xiao Yan could now be sidered an honorary elder of the Miteer .

  "An Elder Token! This humble one wasn't aware of the elder's arrival," the guard hurriedly said respectfully.

  Xiao Ya his voice low and said, "Take me to see Ya Fei."

  "Uood!"

  He followed the guard all the way to the sixth floor of the au house. After a series of knocks, Ya Fei's voice came from ihe room, "e in."

  Xiao Yan waved the guard aushing open the door, he found Ya Fei alone handling some dots. Only then did he remove his hood.

  When Ya Fei saw Xiao Yan appear, she gave him a sidelong gnd said, "You finally decided to show up."

  Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, his face filled with frustration. "As, this time I've really lost face big time."

  Ya Fei heard these words and could not help but recall that se. A rosy blush spread across her fair face, and her enting appearance made one's imagination run wild. Anyone who saw her alluring charm would find it hard to keep their heart steady.

  However, she didn't tinue on that topic. She quickly posed herself and asked, "I wonder what brings Little Brother Xiao Yan to seek me out?"

  Xiao Yan wasted no time with idle chatter. With a wave of his hand, he took out over a dozen wooden boxes from his ste ring. Ya Fei's enting eyes fshed with surprise the instant she saw the wooden boxes.

  She khat Xiao Yahese specially crafted wooden boxes to store medial pills of tier 4 and above.

  Medial pills of tier 4 and above would emit a medial fragrance, and this special wood could effectively prevent the fragrance from leaking out.

  "Little Brother Xiao Yan, you're pnning to... sell pills?" Ya Fei walked over with graceful steps, her stunning eyes filled with surprise as she looked at him.

  Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Although I've mao refiier 5 medial pill, I'm still some distance away from being a true 5th-tier alchemist. I o tinue refining tier 5 pills."

  Previously, Ya Fei had already given him all the tier 5 medial ingredients the au house could provide. They were now out of stock.

  "That Four-Lines White Spirit Pill..."

  "It's ioo." Xiao Yan slowly opened one of the wooden boxes. Instantly, a warm medial fragrance wafted out. It recisely that tier 5 medial pill that had caused a sensation throughout the city, the Four-Lines White Spirit Pill!

  "The others are all tier 4 pills, including fehree-Lined Green Spirit Pills."

  He opened another wooden box, revealing four Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills ihese were refined by Xiao Yan st night. He still had two sets of ingredients for the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill that Fa Ma had given him, so he simply used them to refine four pills to sell.

  Seeing the table full of wooden boxes, and recalling Xiao Yan's terrifying ability to produce multiple pills ich, Ya Fei's delicate mouth opened slightly, her heart rag. This table full of medial pills was enough to drive all the cultivators in the Jia Ma Empire crazy!!

  Tier 4 pills could already be used by Dou Spirits, and some high-grade tier 4 pills were even effective for Dou Kings.

  Although Xiao Yan ied with Dou Kings, Dou Emperors, and peak 5th-tier alchemists, the entire Jia Ma Sacred City was still predominantly prised of s led by Dou Spirits.

  There were only three s with Dou Kings, known as the Three Major s.

  Moreover, even ihree Major s, Dou Grandmasters were still the bae. One could imagihat the Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills and that Four Lines White Spirit Pill would definitely cause all the s to go wild!

  Most importantly, all these pills were refined by Xiao Yan himself! And Xiao Yan was an alchemist who possessed a Heavenly Fme and was the champion of the Alchemist Graing!

  The name 'Xiao Yan' itself was a guarantee of quality!

  The medial pills he refined were absolutely among the top three in terms of quality in the Jia Ma Empire, on par with Pill King Gu He and Chairman Fa Ma, perhaps even surpassing them!

  After all, he was currently the most renowned person in the Jia Ma Empire.

  "Little Brother Xiao Yan, how do you pn to sell them? Set prices and pce them in the chamber of erce, or hold an au?" Ya Fei sat across from Xiao Yan, her eyes revealing a shrewd and capable gaze.

  "Au. I don't want money or anything else; I only want medial ingredients."

  As an alchemist, Xiao Yan naturally uood the value ratio between medial ingredients and pills better than anyone. Generally speaking, oier 4 pill could be exged for the main ingredient of a tier 5 pill of the same grade. That's why he brought out tier 4 pills, because he wao obtain preain ingredients for refining tier 5 pills.

  Ya Fei lightly tapped her finger oable, p seriously for a moment before saying, "If yoal is medial ingredients, then I suggest we start the au first thing tomorrow m."

  "Tomorrow m?!" Xiao Yan was taken aback. It was already noon, and she wao start tomorrow m!

  Ya Fei nodded early and said, "Because of the Alchemist Graing, many alchemists have e from all over the empire to pete. Those alchemists are the ones who possess the most preedial ingredients. Now that the ference has ended, I'm afraid those alchemists are already preparing to leave Jia Ma Sacred City."

  "Right now, Little Brother Xiao Yan is the champion. Many alchemists will want to purchase one of your pills to take bad study. Perhaps it could spark a bidding frenzy among them, allowing us to earn even more."

  Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei in surprise. He hadn't sidered this at all. He inally thought that for better promotion, the lohe time, the better—to spread the word to other cities and wait for the patriarajor s t medial ingredients to the au.

  He had overlooked the fact that it was the alchemists who truly possessed the most preedial ingredients!

  He hadn't taken into at the perfect timing and location the Alchemist Graing provided.

  Ya Fei felt a tinge of pride in her heart when she saw his astonished expression. There weren't many things that could surprise Xiao Yan.

  "Then I'll leave everything to Sister Ya Fei. I still o go to the Alchemist Association to collect my championship reward." Xiao Yan put on his Soul Robe and flew out the window with a grin.

  Ya Fei watched as Xiao Yan flew away through the window once again. She stared at his departing figure in a daze and muttered, "Could he really have taken Elder Hai's words seriously?"

  A delicate blush blossomed across her pretty face. She shook her head vigorously and muttered to herself, "What am I thinking? He's still just a kid."

  But then she suddenly recalled yesterday's earth-shattering se in the square. Seems like... he's not that much of a kid anymore!
