Chapter 498: Chapter 501 My People

"Immortal World? High-ranking alchemist?"

Yan Rufeng furrowed his brows, thinking, "As far as I know, no one has ascended to the Divine Realm from the Immortal World for nearly five thousand years. I didn’t expect that Sister Xia Yu actually came from there. Moreover, she’s a high-ranking alchemist, which means I should address her as Senior..."

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng laughed and said, "Sister Xia Yu, you said you ascended from the Immortal World. How long have you been in the Divine Realm?"

Xia Yu thought for a moment and replied, "I can’t quite remember. It’s been a really, really long time."

"Uh!"

"I didn’t expect it to be so long that she couldn’t remember. But her cultivation level is only at the mid-Heavenly God Realm?"

Even though Yan Rufeng had doubts, he didn’t press further. Instead, he asked about the differences between the elixirs in the Divine Realm and the Immortal World.

Xia Yu blinked and smiled, "Brother Yan, the elixirs in the Immortal World are called Immortal Pills, while in the Divine Realm, they are called Divine Pills. The only difference is that the ingredients must contain Divine Origin Energy, and during the refining process, you must draw Divine Essence Qi from your dantian."

"Is there a difference between the medicine stones and the recipes?" Yan Rufeng continued to ask.

Xia Yu frowned tightly, thinking, "Why wouldn’t such a highly cultivated Young Master Yan know even the most basic alchemy knowledge? Could it be that he doesn’t know alchemy? If that’s the case, it would be perfect..."

"Hee hee!"

Seeing Xia Yu laughing, she mumbled to herself, "Walking in the Divine Realm is full of dangers. If you don’t have some backup elixirs, it could be fatal in a crisis. Since he doesn’t know alchemy, if I make him follow me, he likely wouldn’t refuse..."

"Hee hee!"

At this point, Xia Yu couldn’t help but laugh again.

"Sister Xia Yu, what are you muttering about? You haven’t told me the differences between the medicine stones and recipes in the Divine Realm and the Immortal World." Yan Rufeng continued to ask.

"Well?"

Xia Yu deliberately paused before saying, "Brother Yan, you don’t practice alchemy, so why do you need to know the differences? If you want to have some elixirs as backups, I can help you with that."

"Uh!"

Yan Rufeng wiped off some cold sweat,

"Sister Xia Yu, who told you I don’t know alchemy?"

"Hee hee!"

Xia Yu giggled and said, "Brother Yan, with your high cultivation, not knowing the simplest elixir refinements yet claiming to know alchemy, you’re teasing me, aren’t you?"

Yan Rufeng shook his head helplessly, amused and exasperated.

"Sister Xia Yu, it’s not that I don’t understand, but I really don’t."

"Admitting you don’t understand would suffice. Then why did you ask?" Xia Yu rolled her eyes at Yan Rufeng.

"Uh!"

Yan Rufeng gave a bitter laugh.

"Sister Xia Yu, I just ascended from the Immortal World not long ago. Not only do I know nothing about the Divine Realm, but I even doubted if this truly is the Divine Realm. There’s so much I don’t know."

"Brother Yan, what did you say? You also ascended from the Immortal World?" Xia Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Yan Rufeng replied.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Xia Yu couldn’t believe Yan Rufeng had just ascended from the Immortal World.

"Brother Yan, how could your cultivation level be so high if you just ascended to the Divine Realm? You must be lying to me."

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Sister Xia Yu, I, Yan Rufeng, do not deceive."

When Yan Rufeng said this, he was particularly confident, as though he wasn’t lying at all.

However, Xia Yu still didn’t believe it.

"Brother Yan, let me ask you, have you heard of Ziyi Pavilion?"

Yan Rufeng shook his head.

"Sigh..."

Xia Yu sighed, "I didn’t expect Ziyi Pavilion, once renowned and famed far and wide, to have declined now..."

Then Xia Yu fell into infinite melancholy.

Yan Rufeng shook his head slightly, comforting, "Sister Xia Yu, what goes up must come down—misfortune and fortune are relative. Everything before is just fleeting clouds. Since we’ve ascended to the Divine Realm, the matters of the Divine Realm are most important. We should focus on purchasing supplies, or the market will soon be closed."

After a while, Xia Yu said, "Brother Yan is right. Now I’m in the Divine Realm, I can’t be tied down by the matters of the Immortal World. We should hurry and buy the alchemy stones."

With that, Xia Yu walked to a stall selling medicine stones and asked the price.

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng gave a bitter chuckle and said helplessly, "After all this, Sister Xia Yu didn’t tell me anything..."

Yan Rufeng followed Xia Yu around for a long time before seeing a smile on her face.

"Finally spent all the Divine Stones. Brother Yan, let’s go back now."

At this moment, Xia Yu noticed Yan Rufeng was talking to a group of people.

Getting closer, Xia Yu overheard that they were asking Yan Rufeng when he would sell the Divine Talismans.

With his hands behind his back, Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Dear Daoists, if you wish to purchase the Divine Talismans drawn by Mr. Yan, please go to Ziyi Hall in Xuanwu City in the future."

Xia Yu immediately frowned, thinking, "How could my Ziyi Hall be selling Divine Talismans? What’s Brother Yan talking about? Is he trying to get rid of me..."

Immediately, Xia Yu shouted, "Everyone, don’t listen to him. I am the Hall Master of Ziyi Hall in Xuanwu City, Xia Yu. We do not sell any Divine Talismans."

"Ha!"

Someone in the crowd sneered, "Boss Yan, if you don’t want to sell us the Divine Talismans, fine. But why lie to us?"

"Yeah, why lie to us?"

"Boss Yan, what do you mean by this? Explain yourself!"

"If you don’t explain, you can’t leave. I haven’t bought my talisman yet." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"We must make him explain clearly today..."

The noise of the crowd was incessant.

"Uh! Well..."

Yan Rufeng waved his hand to signal for silence.

As the scene quieted down, Yan Rufeng turned to Xia Yu.

"Sister Xia Yu, could it be you’re not welcoming me to Ziyi Hall?"

"Hmph!"

Xia Yu coldly snorted.

"Earlier, I was welcoming. Now, I’m not happy you’re coming to Ziyi Hall."

"Why?" Yan Rufeng asked.

"Why?"

In a stern voice, Xia Yu said, "Why did you tell everyone that Ziyi Hall has Divine Talismans for sale?"

"Hey!"

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "I will be going to Xuanwu City with you tomorrow. If everyone wants to buy Divine Talismans, I can’t just refuse."

"Ha!"

Xia Yu scoffed, "What a weak excuse. Let me ask you, do you know how to draw Divine Talismans?"

"Boss Yan definitely knows how!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"What?"

Xia Yu was stunned, "You say Brother Yan knows how to draw Divine Talismans?"

"Otherwise, why would we ask Boss Yan and no one else?" that person said disdainfully.

"Ah..."

"Unbelievable, Brother Yan is a Rune Master..."

Xia Yu hid her excitement, blushing as she said, "Brother Yan, I wronged you."

Yan Rufeng generously said, "It’s nothing, let’s go."

"Wait!" Xia Yu called out.

"What’s the matter, do you have more to ask?" Yan Rufeng asked in confusion.

Xia Yu smiled slightly, cleared her throat, and raised her voice.

"Dear Daoists, Brother Yan Rufeng from now on will be part of my Ziyi Hall. To purchase Divine Talismans, just come to Ziyi Hall..."
