Chapter 396 Alchemist Guild
Fang Laiguo, same city.
Leng Yun and Grand Tutor Pang led the carriage along the wide stone street.
The business of selling elixirs has always been extremely profitable, so the entire city looks extremely luxurious, with magnificent buildings that are in no way inferior to the royal palace of Yunyang Kingdom.
The streets were bustling with people, everyone seemed busy, and the sounds of business were everywhere.
After walking for about half an hour, the three arrived at the center of the city.
Here stands the most magnificent and imposing building, which is the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.
A light blue building stood before Leng Yun. Outside the building was a manor surrounded by a blue wall. Several guards stood at the entrance of the wall, and above the gate were several large red characters: Alchemist Guild.
Grand Tutor Pang took the lead and went over first.
"Who goes there?" The guards stopped Grand Tutor Pang.
"Go quickly and inform them that I need to see Pale and Galo from the guild," said Grand Tutor Pang.
The guard said rudely, "Hmph! Do you think you can just see the Pale Guild Master and Teacher Gara whenever you want?"
Grand Tutor Pang was not angry. He smiled and said, "Tell them to come out and greet us quickly."
The guard was somewhat surprised, thinking that this old man was either crazy or someone with a very powerful background.
Having served as a guard for the Alchemist Guild for so many years, he was certainly not useless. He immediately ran back to inform the guild leader.
Grand Tutor Pang turned around and smiled at Leng Yun, implying that the reputation of the 'Ice Emperor' still had some effect.
Before long, the guards returned, followed by two old men, all looking very hurried.
"Oh my, it really is Lord Ice Emperor!" an old man with gray hair said respectfully.
The other one, slightly younger but not young, was dressed in a gray robe: "Lord Ice Emperor, it's been ten years since we heard from you. I thought we'd never see you again."
Grand Tutor Pang chuckled: "Haha, President Pale, Teacher Jialuo, we old folks are really getting old."
Leng Yun observed from behind. Although Cang Bai and Jia Luo appeared very respectful to Grand Tutor Pang, the truth was not so simple.
"Let's go inside and talk about it," Pale said with a smile.
Afterwards, Leng Yun and the others followed Cang Bai into the Alchemist Guild building.
Upstairs, in a large living room, everyone was seated.
Before long, two young girls ran in from outside. They were about the same age as Feng Mei and were also very pretty, but not quite as pretty as Feng Mei.
“Grandpa! Teacher Jialuo!” a girl in a bright green dress said.
"President, Master!" Another girl in red greeted Jialuo.
Pale smiled and gave the two girls a kind smile: "Come and pay your respects to the Ice Emperor!"
The two girls were taken aback when they heard the name Ice Emperor, and hurriedly bowed to Grand Tutor Pang, looking very obedient and respectful.
With a pale smile, he said, "This is my granddaughter, Cang Cuicui, and the other is Li Jiaqi, a top student of Teacher Jialuo."
"Haha, it seems that both of you have worthy successors," Grand Tutor Pang laughed.
The two girls blushed and stood behind Pale and Galo respectively.
Grand Tutor Pang then explained his purpose.
After hearing this, Pale and Gara exchanged a glance, both of them hesitant.
"Let me take a look!" Cang Cuicui walked up to Feng Mei and examined her carefully. "It really is poison from the Qiyao Pavilion. They are truly ruthless."
Looking at the two old men, Leng Yun knew that Grand Tutor Pang was right; it seemed that the Alchemist Guild dared not offend the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion.
After a moment's hesitation, the pale-faced guild leader finally spoke, "This—as you know, Lord Ice Emperor, our Alchemist Guild is just a small place. How dare we oppose the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion?"
“Yes!” Galo also looked troubled. “If we cure the poison of the Miracle Medicine Master, then there will be no peace in the entire city from now on.”
Grand Tutor Pang didn't speak, but turned to look at Leng Yun, as if to say, "I told you so."
After a pause, Grand Tutor Pang said, "With my guarantee, do you still not dare?"
The pale-faced guild leader said somewhat awkwardly, "Lord Ice Emperor, if this were ten years ago, a single word from you would have been enough to deter the entire Miracle Medicine Pavilion from opposing you, but now—"
The pale-faced guild leader didn't say anything more, but Cang Cuicui continued, "We've all heard about what happened in Moonpine City. It seems that Lord Ice Emperor's power isn't as strong as before."
"Cui Cui, don't talk nonsense!" Pale feigned anger, but that was exactly what he wanted to say.
Leng Yun sighed inwardly, "This is still a world that values strength. When you have strength, people respect you as the 'Ice Emperor,' but when you don't, who cares about you?"
Grand Tutor Pang's face also looked somewhat unpleasant, but he didn't say anything more.
The atmosphere in the reception room became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Leng Yun suddenly stood up: "May I ask President Cangbai and Teacher Jialuo a question? Are you willing to live under the rule of the Qiyao Pavilion forever?"
"How can you be so rude, kid?" Li Jiaqi rolled her eyes at Leng Yun.
"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. Although the Alchemist Guild is not as strong as the Miracle Medicine Pavilion right now," Grand Tutor Pang continued, "if you had the help of a fifth-grade alchemist, would you still be afraid of the Miracle Medicine Pavilion?"
Grand Tutor Pang's words surprised both Cang Bai and Jia Luo.
"Hmph, if our Alchemist Guild had one more Rank 5 Alchemist, we could naturally rival the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion!" Cang Cuicui blurted out impatiently.
Pale and Galo remained silent, knowing that Grand Tutor Pang's words had a hidden meaning, and waited for him to continue.
Then, Grand Tutor Pang looked at Leng Yun and said, "He is just a fifth-grade alchemist."
"What?" Pale looked at Leng Yun a few more times. "How is that possible?"
“Exactly, so young and already a fifth-grade alchemist? My master and the guild leader are only fifth-grade.” Li Jiaqi mocked.
Cang Cuicui glanced at Leng Yun disdainfully: "Grandpa Ice Emperor, you're not going to lie to us, are you? I don't believe you."
Grand Tutor Pang stopped speaking and simply watched Pale and Galo quietly.
The two were exchanging glances and communicating on a spiritual level. They both understood what the help of a fifth-grade alchemist truly meant.
However, they naturally couldn't believe that such a young man could become a fifth-grade alchemist.
It took a full half-incense stick's time for the two to reach a conclusion.
“The Alchemist Competition will be held in three days. If this young man can win, we will believe that he is a fifth-grade alchemist,” Pale said.
“Okay!” Leng Yun nodded, knowing that the other party still needed to observe him further.
Grand Tutor Pang chuckled: "Haha, good, it's settled then. You two old geezers are still as cunning and shrewd as ever!"
