The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 1009: Top-grade Elixir?

Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Top-grade Elixir?

Just as Ning Fan was about to give himself away, Li Yuanhua suddenly spoke with an air of certainty, "That’s true, since you’re an important disciple of your sect, you probably don’t have any expenses usually and wouldn’t need Spirit Stones. No wonder you didn’t know."

Without waiting for Ning Fan to explain, Li Yuanhua had already filled in the blanks in his mind.

"Indeed, I rarely use Spirit Stones within the sect," Ning Fan went on with Li Yuanhua’s assumptions.

"I thought as much, but this is going to be troublesome, Brother Xu. During the auction, if you don’t have an entrance fee, you can’t enter the city."

Li Yuanhua intended to pay the entrance fee for Ning Fan, but deep down, he harbored some doubts.

Even if a disciple is highly valued by their sect, shouldn’t they at least know about Spirit Stones?

Could he be an impostor?

Soon, it was time for the two to enter the city.

Li Yuanhua paid his own entrance fee and stood aside, looking at Ning Fan with a troubled face.

The cultivator guarding the gate looked at Ning Fan with disdain, "Don’t tell me you can’t even take out a few Spirit Stones? Why bother coming to the auction then?"

The others lined up behind him also started to urge him impatiently.

"If you’re that poor, just don’t show up!"

"Exactly, which sect’s disciple are you, to not have even a single Spirit Stone?"

"Don’t delay us, hurry up and let us through."

Li Yuanhua was also frowning deeply, wondering if he had encountered a swindler.

After some thought, Ning Fan suddenly swiped his right hand across the Qiankun Ring and took out several Elixirs.

"Can these be used as the entrance fee?" he asked.

The gatekeeper scoffed with disdain, "What, do you think you can just use some trashy pills to... wait! Is that a Top-grade Elixir?!"

He was mid-sentence when he suddenly widened his eyes, his expression one of disbelief, staring at the Elixir in Ning Fan’s palm.

The other cultivators around, seeing the Elixir in Ning Fan’s hand, had their eyes fixed on it.

"Damn! Is that a Top-grade Elixir?"

"Am I seeing things?!"

"That fragrance, that brilliance, those patterns, it’s undoubtedly a Top-grade Elixir!"

"Hey, that outfit, isn’t it the Feiyu Sect’s disciple’s uniform?"

"Since when is Feiyu Sect so generous? To let their disciples wander around with Top-grade Elixirs!"

In everyone’s eyes, the Feiyu Sect was nothing more than a Lower-Ranked Sect.

Not to mention Top-grade Elixirs, even Mid-grade Elixirs might not be something they could produce!

"Is this Elixir enough for the entrance fee?" Ning Fan inquired.

The Top-grade Elixir was a botched batch he had concocted, which turned out quite odd, so he had not given it to anyone else.

Little did he know it would come in handy at a time like this.

The gatekeeper, still stunned, snapped back to reality upon hearing Ning Fan’s words, and nodded repeatedly.

"Enough, enough! Of course, it’s enough!"

As if fearing Ning Fan would retract his offer, he snatched the Top-grade Elixir almost greedily into his hands.

After taking a closer look, he smiled, his eyes nearly crinkling shut.

This indeed was a Top-grade Elixir!

As a cultivator of the Fuguang Sect, he had been diligent for many years but had never received even one Mid-grade Elixir.

Just by guarding the city gate for a couple of days, he managed to get a Top-grade Elixir!

The feeling of such an unexpected joy even made him consider joining the Feiyu Sect.

The treatment in this sect was just too good!

On the side, Li Yuanhua had already dismissed his suspicions about Ning Fan the moment he saw the Top-grade Elixir.

All that was left was deep shock!

The Feiyu Sect had actually acquired an alchemist capable of concocting Top-grade Elixirs?

"Hell, why doesn’t our Luoyun Sect have one?!"

"Is Feiyu Sect still recruiting?!"

At the same time, he no longer doubted his earlier speculation about Ning Fan’s identity.

If he wasn’t a core disciple, how could he so casually produce a Top-grade Elixir?

Li Yuanhua now looked at Ning Fan as if he was a walking treasure trove.

If he stayed by Ning Fan’s side, might he also receive a Top-grade Elixir?

If even a gatekeeper could get one, certainly he could too!

In just a few moments, Li Yuanhua had made up his mind to stick close to Ning Fan during the auction.

Perhaps, he could gain some benefits from this generous core disciple of the sect!

After a brief hesitation, he stepped forward and approached Ning Fan, his face bearing a flattering smile, "Brother Ning, I had no idea you already possessed a Top-grade Elixir. If I may be so bold to ask, this Top-grade Elixir is from...?"

Ning Fan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Recently, we had a senior visiting our sect. This Top-grade Elixir was given to me by that senior."

A senior?

Fuguang Sect has such a generous relative?

Li Yuanhua’s mind raced, sure that he had figured out the truth.

With the imminent sect competition, no doubt the Sect Master of Feiyu Sect had expended substantial resources to invite a high-ranked alchemist.

"I didn’t expect Feiyu Sect to have such resources. It seems I must establish a good relationship with Brother Xu. Maybe it could even help our Luoyun Sect reach new heights!"

That’s a high-ranked alchemist!

If he could get on his good side, there was no telling how high he could rise, even if he didn’t reach the pinnacle, he would certainly soar!

Don’t think that cultivators in Kunlun are so indifferent to fame and fortune.

It’s precisely because they became cultivators that they are even more competitive and eager to seize resources.

To stand out and excel on the path of cultivation, everything depended on fighting and competing.

Otherwise, Zuo Chengjue wouldn’t have gone through so much effort to find a dual cultivation partner from the Secular World.

Amidst the envious and respectful gazes of the crowd, Ning Fan and Li Yuanhua entered through the city gates.
