Chapter 1558: Bring Him Here to Me

In the Alchemy Tower, the proud Wufeng appeared very respectful before this slightly plump old man.

"Greetings, Master!" Wufeng bowed deeply.

This old man was a senior steward of the Alchemy Tower, a four-star mid-stage Alchemy God named Luming.

Luming was considered a very senior steward in the Alchemy Tower, with disciples spread throughout the inner and outer cities.

Wufeng was one of his disciples.

As a disciple of the Alchemy Tower, Wufeng naturally had the right to enter the inner city.

Luming was fairly satisfied with this disciple.

Although his aptitude was somewhat lacking, making it hopeless for him to break through to four-star Alchemy God, at least he was filial and sensible towards him.

Someone like him seemed a very good choice to develop in the outer city.

"Mm, you have a thoughtful heart. This time... what new trinkets have you brought?" Luming said indifferently.

Wufeng took out a jade pot and respectfully handed it to Luming, flattering, "Master, this is an Ice Heart Jade Pot I recently obtained. It's delicious beyond compare."

Luming took it and opened the lid; an enticing aroma instantly filled the room.

Luming's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Good wine! Good wine! You have a thoughtful heart!"

Wufeng's heart bled; though the pot was small, it had cost him tens of millions of divine source stones to buy.

This small pot of wine was worth as much as the consultation fee for treating Huang Qian!

Luming was a four-star Alchemy God; how could something that moved him be ordinary?

Every time he entered the inner city, Wufeng racked his brains.

Just as the Thunderclap Gang paid tribute to him, the tributes he offered to Luming each time were equally costly.

But with Luming's support, the divine source stones he earned each year were also astronomical.

No loss!

Even the Dongfang family dared not disrespect him.

Luming put away the jade pot, glanced at Wufeng, and said indifferently, "Recently... have you encountered any trouble?"

Wufeng smiled, "Master sees through everything! Recently, a junior in the southern city has been utterly arrogant and insolent, even daring to claim he can grant any request, stirring up the whole southern city!"

Luming raised his eyelids slightly and smiled, "Is that the little medicine shop called Miaoshou Zhai? 'Grant any request'! Heh, I've heard of it too. What a big mouth!"

Wufeng quickly said, "Master, you don't know the half of it. This kid's mouth isn't just big—it's boundless! Does Master remember the patient I once brought, whose illness even you couldn't diagnose?"

Luming thought for a moment and exclaimed, "You mean that living corpse? Could it be... that kid actually figured it out?"

Wufeng nodded, "Heh, that kid got lucky and actually cured him!"

Luming was greatly shocked; even he couldn't diagnose the cause, yet a three-star Alchemy God had cured it?

His gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that kid really has some skill!"

Wufeng was secretly pleased, knowing his master was displeased, and sneered, "Skill my foot! He just got lucky! What's more infuriating is that my subordinate betrayed you, saying that his nephew had been examined by Master Luming without finding any problem. Guess what that kid said?"

Luming's gaze turned cold, and he said sternly, "I don't like playing guessing games. Speak!"

Wufeng quickly put on an extremely angry expression and said, "Yes, Master! That detestable kid actually said, 'Is this Master Luming so great? A four-star Alchemy God is nothing special!' Tell me, isn't that infuriating?"

Wufeng embellished the story, making Luming's face turn green with anger.

"Bang!"

The tea table beside Luming shattered into powder.

The muscles on his face trembled, showing how furious he was.

"A mere three-star Alchemy God dares to speak such arrogant words! Could it be... you let them survive?" Luming stared sharply at Wufeng and said coldly.

Wufeng put on a wronged expression and said, "Master, you wrong me! How could I let that kid slander you like that? I immediately sent people to smash Miaoshou Zhai, but who knew that Miaoshou Zhai had deep resources and somehow found a Divine Lord realm expert. Disciple... disciple really couldn't defeat him!"

Luming's gaze turned icy, and he said coldly, "Just a Divine Lord realm dares to slander a senior of the Alchemy Tower? Hmph! I want to see how hard your bones are!"

Luming slowly stood up, summoned a middle-aged man, and said in a deep voice, "Tang Rui, go with Wufeng and tear down that Miaoshou Zhai for me! Bring that kid named Ye Yuan here to me! As for that Divine Lord realm, send him to the Martial Tower on the grounds of interfering in outer city affairs!"

Tang Rui bowed and said, "Yes, Steward!"

...

After hearing Huang Qian's story, Ye Yuan also sighed, while Ning Siyu and Liang Wanru were filled with indignation.

"This Wufeng is utterly inhuman! Just because he saved someone, he thinks he can act so recklessly? It... it infuriates me!" Ning Siyu's chest heaved with anger, and she almost rushed out to avenge Huang Qian.

"Brother Ye, this Wufeng is indeed too infuriating. The uncle and nephew were loyal, yet ended up like this. You must seek justice for them!" Liang Wanru also said.

Ye Yuan patted Huang Qian on the shoulder and said, "Accept my condolences. Don't think too much for now. Stay here first and focus on recovering from your injuries."

Huang Qian was stunned, a look of despair in his eyes.

If even Master Ye wouldn't help, then he truly had no hope for revenge.

Wufeng's influence in the southern city was not something he could shake.

"Th... thank you, Master Ye!" Huang Qian gritted his teeth and replied.

After Huang Qian left, the two women looked at Ye Yuan with displeasure.

"Ye Yuan, I really misjudged you! I didn't expect you to be such a coward!" Ning Siyu said, with a look of righteous indignation.

"Brother Ye, are you really the Brother Ye I know? Huang Qian is in such a miserable state, yet you won't help him!" Liang Wanru questioned Ye Yuan for the first time.

Ye Yuan smiled wryly, "Haven't I already taken him in? What more do you want me to do?"

"You... shouldn't you go capture that Wufeng and make him kneel and confess before Huang Qian?" Ning Siyu said indignantly.

Ye Yuan smiled but didn't answer Ning Siyu, and went out.

His attitude made Ning Siyu stomp her feet in anger, "Hey, what's with your attitude! It... it infuriates me! I'm going to break ties with you!"

Just as Ye Yuan was going out, a kindly old man entered Miaoshou Zhai.

"Excuse me, is Master Ye Yuan here?" the old man said.

Ye Yuan looked at him with slight surprise, unable to see through his depth.

Could it be... another Divine Lord realm expert?

"I am Ye Yuan. May I ask what business the senior has with me?" Ye Yuan cupped his hands.

Seeing Ye Yuan so young, the old man was greatly surprised and said, "I am Xuanyu, from the Alchemy Tower. I heard that Master Ye is a master of alchemy, so I came to exchange insights with you."
