I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1904 The Li Clan Deterrence, Li Qianyuan, Arrives

After all, this staff was a magic weapon left behind by a peak Creator. Although there was a certain gap between the demons and the humans in terms of refining weapons, an expert at this level naturally had the conditions to obtain a powerful divine weapon.

Carved ancient runes wrapped around the steel staff. There were also sceneries of mountains and rivers painted on it.

After a while, the gates of the Li Mansion opened. A group of people filed out under the lead of an old man who looked like a butler.

“Everyone, Marquis Huntian has personally come to the Eastern Sea to establish a new partnership with everyone here. He will establish a long-term resource collection point here. As long as it is what we need, we will purchase it for the foreseeable future. This is the list of items we are looking for.”

The old man who looked like a butler waved, and a screen appeared in front of him. On the screen, there was a list of many treasures. There was even a price stated at the end of the list.

Many people gasped. The wealth required to purchase all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures was an astronomical figure. One could imagine how rich the Li clan was.

In the Eastern Sea, there were many heavenly resources that Grand Xia did not possess. Hence, there were often many aristocratic families and sects of Grand Xia that established specialized resource collection points on the various islands in the Eastern Sea.

“Those who are interested in selling their wares, please follow me inside. There will be someone to register everyone. We will not cheat the old or the young,” the butler said, “But if anyone takes this opportunity to cause trouble, don’t blame us for being impolite. Huntian Marquis’s residence isn’t a small force without roots. I’d advise against crooked ideas.”

As the butler spoke, he faintly emitted waves of pressure that crushed everyone’s hearts.

The Creation Stage!

Many people sucked in a breath of cold air. This butler of the Huntian Marquis residence was a Creator. What kind of concept was a Creator in the Eastern Sea? They were overlords who could dominate an island and become the owner of it. They were at the level of an ancestor.

Now, such a person was Li Qianyuan’s butler. This was a big deal. Everyone looked at the other people and found that the guards behind the butler were all Cosmics.

A row of experts standing around was certainly a great deterrent.

After everyone recovered from their shock, they quickly understood that the Huntian Marquis Residence was putting its foundation on the surface to deter those with ulterior motives. The Eastern Sea was not as orderly as Grand Xia. Killing and stealing treasures here was not a special occurrence. Regardless of whether these itinerant cultivators were righteous or evil, they believed in the survival of the fittest. Under the drive of huge profits, it was very possible for some people to take risks.

However, many people were clearly prepared. After looking at the list, they quickly confirmed how much they could sell and began to line up to enter the Li Mansion to sell their goods. Only then did Chu Yunfan understand why so many people had gathered here. It was likely that Marquis Huntian had already released the news earlier, so it had attracted many people. Even though many of the powers of Grand Xia were unwilling to extend their hands into the Eastern Sea, no one would go against money.

The grand spending of the Marquis Huntian’s residence had attracted many itinerant cultivators.

‘Interesting.’ Chu Yunfan looked at the scene before him, but he was not in a hurry to make a move. This was because he felt more powerful auras coming from inside the mansion. There was more than one Creator guarding it.

‘This is definitely not a force that Li Qianyuan himself can have. He has just entered the Creation Stage. Even if he has followers in the Creation Stage, it is impossible for him to have so many.’

Chu Yunfan had sensed more than 20 Creators in the Li Mansion. Of course, this didn’t compare to the lineup that the Demon God Sect had used to ambush Chu Yunfan, but it was still a huge force. If the Cosmics were included, it would be even more so.

Chu Yunfan didn’t know if this was related to the Li clan behind Li Qianyuan or the crown prince, but either force was a giant.

Li Qianyuan was able to become Marquis Huntian of Grand Xia at such a young age. He was the first marquis of the younger generation and the top expert of the younger generation. Naturally, he was not from a commoner’s background.

The Li clan was a military aristocratic family and had produced more than one marquis. The members of the clan had been marquises for generations and the power of the clan was extremely huge.

As for the crown prince, as the Emperor’s eldest son, he had been appointed as the crown prince long ago. He had countless followers in the court. Compared to Li Qianyuan, the crown prince was the real colossus.

However, Chu Yunfan understood that if Li Qianyuan’s goal was to seize an inheritance, he would probably need a large number of masters to come together with him. It was impossible to obtain those ancient inheritances smoothly within them. Therefore, Chu Yunfan was not in a hurry to make a move. He found a hotel in the city and stayed there.

As time passed, more and more people came to the Li Mansion. A small market was formed around the place. Many people did not have the resources that the Li Mansion needed, but they would take this rare opportunity to exchange for the resources that they needed.

Chu Yunfan monitored the Li Mansion from afar. He was not in a hurry to make a move. He consolidated his cultivation while waiting for the best opportunity.

In just a few days, he saw many experts coming in and out, and more and more experts came. He even spotted an elite troop of up to 3,000 people flying across the sky. However, it was not the army of Grand Xia. It was the private army of the Li clan.

This private army was very elite. Although it could not compare to the External Army that Chu Yunfan had developed with all his strength, it was still a rare elite army.

Whether it was the experts or the private army, the Li clan did not hide anything. On the contrary, they were very high-profile as if they were afraid that no one would know. Even those who were not sensitive to this could see the Li clan’s goal. They wanted to intimidate the various forces in the Eastern Sea to prevent these people from taking risks.

However, as the Li clan became more and more high-profile, more and more figures appeared to investigate. Finally, on this day, a piece of news spread throughout the city.

Marquis Huntian, Li Qianyuan, had arrived.
