Chapter 329: 325 World-shocking Alchemist (7) Updated at First Watch

As soon as Butler Bai spoke, Liu Yuan looked at Ye Shaohua, his eyes wide as saucers, unable to believe what he was hearing.

Lord Liu was startled by Ye Shaohua and it took several minutes to regain his composure, "An... Alchemy master?"

"Yes, an alchemy master. Master Murong is still waiting for Miss Ye, so we will take our leave now." Butler Bai had someone deliver the gifts from the Bai Residence to Lord Liu before following Ye Shaohua out.

A look of delight spread across Lord Liu’s face.

"Shaohua is actually going to become an alchemy master!" Liu Yuan shook his sister’s arm excitedly.

However, when the Young Lady of the Liu Family heard Liu Yuan’s words, the already sullen expression on her face turned even gloomier in an instant.

She stood behind Lord Liu, her lips tightly pressed together, without uttering a word.

"Son, did you give her the contract paper?" As Lord Liu was rejoicing, he suddenly remembered this detail, and the joy on his face abruptly faded, "Why didn’t you persuade me just now?!"

Liu Yuan felt wronged, "Father, I did advise you several times, but you wouldn’t listen to me."

"Who knew she wouldn’t become an Immortal Master but would instead be taken in by an alchemy master," Lord Liu thought of this and was filled with regret, "Go to the warehouse and get the treasure that was contributed by our people at the end of last year."

The treasure Lord Liu was talking about was a Medicine Cauldron that someone from the Liu Family had come across by chance during their trials outside last year.

Seeing the two busy themselves for Ye Shaohua made the Young Lady’s expression twist.

"You two are familiar with Shaohua," after some thought, Lord Liu felt it wasn’t appropriate to visit the Bai Family at this time and sent the siblings to find Ye Shaohua, "If you can strengthen the relationship, that would be for the best."

Despite her reluctance, the Young Lady still wanted to check on Ye Shaohua’s situation.

She and Liu Yuan went to the Bai Residence.

A crowd had gathered at the entrance of the Bai Residence, and even though they brought the Liu Residence’s plaque, the guards stopped them, "The Bai Residence is not entertaining any guests today, please return, Young Miss and Young Master."

Liu Yuan looked disappointed.

"So the Liu Family has come too," said another richly dressed young man standing next to them, looking at the two, then shaking his head, "But the Bai Residence won’t let us in. I’ve been waiting here for half an hour."

The Young Lady responded casually and then spotted Ye Shaohua standing inside the gate, apparently speaking with a young man.

Upon seeing this, she immediately turned to the door guards, "My brother and I are here to see Shaohua. She just left our Liu Residence and didn’t take some items she frequently uses with her. May we enter to deliver them to her?"

Hearing the Young Lady’s words, the guards who were initially impatiently blocking them paused.

Then their faces softened into a pleasant smile, "You’re friends with Miss Ye? Please come in."

The members of the Bai Residence greeted the Young Lady with much warmth upon hearing that she was a friend of Ye Shaohua.

"Miss Ye, your friends are here to see you." Lord Bai, upon hearing the report from the guards, immediately beamed at Ye Shaohua and spoke warmly with the Young Lady.

The status of the Bai Family in this city was extraordinary.

The Young Lady was pleasantly surprised by how kindly Lord Bai spoke to her.

Ye Shaohua hadn’t expected Liu Yuan and the others to come to the Bai Residence too, and they’d even brought a Medicine Cauldron to give her.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, not looking at the Young Lady but at Liu Yuan instead, "No need, this item is too precious, I cannot accept it."

Her attitude towards the two had obviously cooled compared to before.

Liu Yuan felt rather disappointed.

And the members of the Bai Family, noticing Ye Shaohua’s clearly less familiar demeanor with the siblings, also became colder toward them.

The Young Lady tried to talk to Ye Shaohua several times.

But Ye Shaohua was surrounded by people and completely out of reach for conversation. In the end, the Young Lady was even escorted out of the Bai Residence by people called over by Lord Bai.

During this time, Liu Yuan had managed to gather some information.

He looked somewhat dazed, "Sister, Shaohua is really going to become an alchemy master. I just overheard people from the Bai Residence saying her teacher, Master Murong, is an incredibly powerful alchemy master."

"Also, do you know? She just cured the Bai Family Young Master, heavens! A disease even powerful alchemy masters couldn’t cure, she did it!"

"That Master Murong said, Shaohua will at the very least become an Earth-rank Superior-grade alchemy master, and she might even become a Heavenly-rank alchemy master, which only exists in the Holy City!"

"That’s the Holy City we’re talking about! Not to mention a Heavenly-rank alchemy master, even becoming an Earth-rank alchemy master is such a prestigious status! To think that we know a future Earth-rank alchemy master is just too astonishing!"

These exclamations hit the Young Lady like a hammer, making her breathing grow heavier and heavier.

The siblings of the Liu Family no longer held Ye Shaohua’s attention.

She had acknowledged Master Murong as her teacher.

"You are not yet a true alchemy master and do not have the right to know my name. When the day comes that you become a Dark-rank alchemy master, I will tell you my name," Master Murong looked at Ye Shaohua, the more he saw, the more excited he became.

On this continent, the levels of alchemy masters are divided from high to low as Heavenly, Earth, Dark, and Yellow.

Each rank is divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and superior-grade.

However, the majority of alchemists remain at the middle-grade Yellow-rank.

Hearing Immortal Master Murong’s words, Ye Shaohua touched her chin, "Fine."

Her expression didn’t change.

But the faces of the Bai Family members standing nearby were almost unable to hide their shock.

One needs to reach the Dark-rank to be qualified to know Immortal Master Murong’s name?

What rank of alchemist is Immortal Master Murong?

**

"My lord, you’ve sent so many things to Miss Ye, please have her save my son," the second lady finally seized the opportunity to speak to the Bai Family’s patriarch, "If she could cure Bai Ziyun, she can definitely save our son. My son is a white-robed disciple of the Xuanzong Sect and destined to reach the Fourth-rank, potentially even becoming an Elder of the Xuanzong Sect. What’s the use in saving Bai Ziyun?"

She didn’t dare to belittle others as "inferior" now.

She was filled with a reverent fear of the unknown towards Ye Shaohua.

Upon hearing the second lady’s words, the patriarch’s face darkened, "What nonsense, if Miss Ye agrees to treat him, it’s because you refused it yourself. What’s the use of regretting now?"

The second lady’s eyes reddened upon hearing this, "Alright, if you can’t lower your face, I’ll go find her myself!"

"Don’t you dare go!" the patriarch commanded coldly. "Someone, make sure the second lady doesn’t disturb Miss Ye!"

He sighed at the look of disbelief on the second lady’s face.

Now was not the time for the Bai Residence to pressure Ye Shaohua.

Just consider what Immortal Master Murong said, they have to reach the Dark-rank just to know his name!

From this, it’s clear that Immortal Master Murong must be a Dark-rank or higher alchemist!

What does this signify?

You must understand that the number one alchemist of the Xuanzong Sect, Liao Yang, is merely at the superior-grade Dark-rank, and the Xuanzong Sect is one of the top three sects on the continent, only second to the Holy City!

Above the Dark-rank is the Earth-rank, and there are only a handful of such alchemists on the entire continent.

"Madam, are you going to find Miss Ye?" After instructing someone to keep an eye on the second lady, the patriarch went to the first lady’s quarters.

Although the first lady came from a better background than the second lady, due to Bai Ziyun’s circumstances, it had been many years since the patriarch had visited her quarters.

He had a preference for the more glamorous second lady.

The first lady looked at him indifferently, "Yes. The gifts are all prepared, and Miss Ye is currently in Ziyun’s courtyard. My parents knew about this and sent plenty of gifts for me to deliver."

"That’s good," said the patriarch with a smile, "Thank you to my father-in-law for the trouble. I’ll go see Miss Ye with you, and we can give her the medicinal ingredients she needs."

Seeing the patriarch’s expression, the first lady turned and sneered mockingly.

But she said nothing more.

During the time Bai Ziyun was ill, she had been subjected to no small amount of cold treatment from the Bai Family.

The miracle doctors found by the patriarch only ever treated the second young master, and even the alchemists from the Xuanzong Sect last year only checked on the second young master.

She had since become indifferent to it all.

After Ye Shaohua received the medicines prepared by the patriarch, she was ready to return to Old Man Xu’s house.

This time, the patriarch didn’t try to keep her but instead sent a Spiritual Beast Car specifically to transport her and Immortal Master Murong back.

**

At this moment, in Xiaotong Village.

Old Man Xu was still lying on the bed, his face ashen and bruised; his gaze was incessantly fixed on the shabby wooden door.

The wooden door was damaged, with half of it hanging from the doorframe.

"Old Xu, you should hand over the land deed," the Village Chief, along with two others, was standing in the cramped room. Although they were all low-class people, the sight of Old Man Xu’s decrepit home still repelled them, "After all, you are no longer able to take care of the medicinal fields."

Upon hearing these words, Old Man Xu struggled to breathe and glared furiously at the Village Chief.

The matron sitting by Old Man Xu’s bedside couldn’t bear to see the Village Chief acting this way, "Village Chief, Shaohua should be back soon. How will the two of them live without the medicinal fields?"

"That’s not my problem," the Village Chief said smugly, his eyes on Old Man Xu, "You and Ye Shaohua are not originally from our village. If you don’t hand over the land deed for the medicinal fields, I will have you expelled from the village."

"Old Xu, just give the land deed to the Village Chief," the matron said upon realizing the Village Chief was serious. Although reluctant, she still conveyed the truth to Old Man Xu, "Daniu just found out some news; Shaohua was not chosen by the Immortal Master."
