Chapter 2100 - 2101: Pure Yang Palace!

Another half month flashed by.

The business of Yuntian Commerce was getting better by the day, gradually starting to shake the status of Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, and it seemed they could compete on equal footing.

And Lio Yunyan was finally about to complete her mission, poised to challenge her family and truly master her own destiny.

Everything was on track, and Ling Feng’s Divine Power had initially recovered to the King-level.

He could even begin to try communicating with his sealed Divine Sense, coordinating internally and externally to break through the "Soul Sealing" layer.

Unfortunately, the results were minimal.

The crazed alchemy attempts to enhance him were becoming less and less effective.

He knew that Yeruo City was too small; neither the grade of spiritual herbs nor elixirs could meet his requirements.

All good things must come to an end, and it was time to say goodbye to Lio Yunyan and the others.

Just as Ling Feng was preparing to explain his intentions to Lio Yunyan, an uninvited guest arrived at the Lio Family.

This person was a tribute from Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion.

For a moment, the entire Lio Family braced as if facing a formidable enemy.

A while ago, Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion was caught up in their own affairs due to a fire, but now that they had time, it seemed it was time for reckoning.

They hadn’t forgotten the previous threats Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion made against Ling Feng.

"This is what the Great Elder wants to give to Young Master Ling."

The tribute was clearly instructed beforehand, although cool in manner, he didn’t create any conflict but simply placed a letter and left.

Hearing that the letter was from the Great Elder to Ling Feng, Lio Yunyan and the others didn’t dare open it on their own, instead, they summoned Ling Feng from the Alchemy Room.

"Young Master Ling, be careful."

Lio Yunyan said, worried that the Great Elder might have tampered with the letter, such as putting poison in it.

Ling Feng shook his head and laughed; dealing with poison in front of him was truly underestimating.

Moreover, Yain Zhong had long been scared witless, so there was no way he would dare use underhanded tactics.

Ling Feng casually took the letter, opened it, and found the contents intriguing.

"Young Master Ling, what does it say?"

Xiao Cui couldn’t help but ask.

"Nothing much, Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion invited Yuntian Commerce to participate in the Pill King Conference hosted by Pure Yang Palace. Any alchemist under thirty-five can participate, and Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion intends to have a bet showdown with Yuntian Commerce using the Pill King Conference."

Ling Feng said lightly.

"The Pill King Conference of Pure Yang Palace?"

Lio Yunyan heard this and showed a bit of shock, "I didn’t expect the envoy from Pure Yang Palace to arrive at such a small Yeruo City!"

"Is Pure Yang Palace very influential?"

Ling Feng glanced at Lio Yunyan; her focus was not on the bet showdown but noticed Pure Yang Palace first, indicating that Pure Yang Palace had a rather high status in Milo Continent.

"Pure Yang Palace is the largest alchemy sect in Milo Continent, with countless high-level alchemists under its banner. It’s the holy land for all alchemists!"

Lio Jun, who had been by Ling Feng’s side this time learning, showed a hint of reverence in his eyes.

"Oh?"

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, if Pure Yang Palace was indeed as Lio Jun said, representing the highest standards of alchemy in Milo Continent, perhaps that would be his next target.

After all, breaking the seal within his body would require an Alchemy Master of Elixir Saint level and several very rare spiritual herbs.

If even Pure Yang Palace didn’t have suitable alchemists, then no other place would.

"This Pill King Conference must be attended."

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, secretly making up his mind.

"By the way, what’s the bet?" Xiao Cui pouted, humming lightly, "It seems Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion doesn’t mean well!"

"Take a look yourself."

Ling Feng tossed the letter to Xiao Cui.

The next moment, Xiao Cui exclaimed, "Hmph, indeed, Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion is still not giving up!"

It turned out that the bet was that both sides would use the final ranking of alchemists at the Pill King Conference as the ultimate victory condition.

If Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion’s alchemist won the championship at the Pill King Conference, then Yuntian Commerce must unconditionally withdraw from Yeruo City.

And if Yuntian Commerce won the championship at the Pill King Conference, then Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion would acknowledge Yuntian Commerce’s status and refrain from using any methods to suppress Yuntian Commerce and transfer half of Nine Heavens Auction’s ownership to Yuntian Commerce.

Nine Heavens Auction was a golden egg-laying mother chicken, providing Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion immense profits.

It could be said that this bet was fair and just.

In the end, Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion’s Great Elder dared not play shady, so decided on an open and honest bet showdown.

And Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, knowing Yuntian Commerce had Ling Feng as a strong ally, still dared to initiate the bet showdown, obviously having a certain level of confidence.

"Young Master Ling, what do you think?"

Lio Yunyan bit her silver teeth, turning to Ling Feng.

The reliance of Yuntian Commerce was Ling Feng, so if he agreed, she naturally would as well.

This was undoubtedly a gamble.

If they won, Yuntian Commerce would officially rise in Yeruo City, occupying a substantial portion.

But if they lost, they would lose everything, surrendering the favorable situation they currently had and could only return to the family, accepting its arrangements.

Yet she still handed the decision for the gamble directly over to Ling Feng.

"Miss Lio, what do you intend?"

Ling Feng looked at Lio Yunyan; Yuntian Commerce was her venture, so it wasn’t for him to decide impulsively.

However, regardless, he would attend the Pill King Conference, using this as a stepping-stone to formally enter the sight of Pure Yang Palace.

"I trust you."

Lio Yunyan said without hesitation, her beautiful eyes filled with trust.

"Then let’s wait to take over half of Yeruo City."

Ling Feng smiled slightly, speaking with absolute confidence.

After all, when it came to alchemy, he had never feared anyone!

With the Pill King Conference approaching, Ling Feng temporarily discarded the thought of leaving, waiting to win the Pill King Conference before making any plans.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days went by.

The Pill King Conference convened as scheduled!

As the local powerhouse in Yeruo City, Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion had set up a massive stage in the city centre of Yuee Ling City to welcome the envoy from Pure Yang Palace.

Alchemists from neighboring cities had also flocked to Yeruo City early, eager not to miss the Pill King Conference.

After all, being favored by Pure Yang Palace’s envoy meant having the opportunity to enter the holy land of all alchemists’ hearts, a great honor for any alchemist.

Hosting this Pill King Conference was a high-level alchemist from Pure Yang Palace, named Tao Hong, looking to be seventy or eighty, with crane-like hair and an ageless face, possessing a somewhat immortal demeanor, with a righteous look, evidently a just person.

Behind Tao Hong were several young alchemists, their faces more or less carrying a hint of arrogance, evidently not very expectant of the Pill King Conference.

After all, no matter how excellent the young alchemists were, it was impossible to compare with the disciples of Pure Yang Palace.

"Mr. Yan, I heard recently that a batch of low-level elixirs with condensed elixir patterns appeared in Yeruo City. This news is what ultimately decided me hosting the Pill King Conference in Yeruo City, hoping more outstanding young alchemists emerge."

Tao Hong stroked his long beard and mildly smiled.

Yan Zhong’s expression was somewhat unnatural, only faintly smiling, "Speaking of young alchemy, in my Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, there are quite a few talents, hoping they catch the master’s Dharma Eye!"

Tao Hong lightly smiled without speaking further, closing his eyes to rest, awaiting the formal commencement of the Pill King Conference.
