"Second Young Master." When Yun Lintian's group left the hall, a group of men quickly walked over and bowed respectfully to Ximen Wu.
With a glance, Yun Lintian could see all of them were at least in the Divine Spirit Realm. It seemed the Ximen Clan was even stronger than the Hao Clan, in Hao Lie's words.
Ximen Wu glanced at them and said. "Have you prepared what I told you?"
The tall man among the group of men quickly replied. "We have already prepared them. Do you want to go now, Second Young Master?"
Ximen Wu turned to Liu Yan and said. "Sister and brothers. I will let these people bring you to the martial art hall. You can tell them directly if you're unsatisfied with the benefits. They will change it for you."
Liu Yan hurriedly cupped her fists. "Thank you, Young Master Ximen."
She then turned to Yun Lintian. "We will leave first, Senior Lin. Thank you for everything. I hope we will meet again."
"We will." Yun Lintian smiled and watched Liu Yan and her two comrades walk away.
At first, Yun Lintian wanted to make friends with them just to obtain some general information. However, since Ximen Wu unexpectedly appeared, Liu Yan and her friends were unnecessary now.
"Let's go, Brother Lin. I'll bring you to my place." Ximen Wu said with a smile and led Yun Lintian to a carriage.
As Ximen Wu told him, Yun Lintian could clearly see the difference between the Chu Country Capital City and this place. This city was more organized and civilized compared to the former one.
The people here were also stronger in general. Even a stall owner was a divinity. This made Yun Lintian reevaluate the overall strength of the Great Zhou Kingdom once again.
"Do you see that big building over there?" Ximen Wu suddenly pointed at the building in the far distance through the window. "That's the Divine Alchemy Association building. If Brother Lin wants to go there later, you can tell my people directly."
Yun Lintian glanced at the outstanding building that Ximen Wu pointed at and noted it in his heart. Judging from how majestic the building was, the influence and power of the association weren't low at all.
Twenty minutes later, the carriage gradually arrived at a huge manor spanned hundreds of kilometers. An archway with the word "Ximen" on it stood majestically at the entrance. With a glance, Yun Lintian could feel an oppressive power coming from it.
"Welcome to my Ximen Clan." Ximen Wu said with a smile. "I have already arranged a special courtyard for you, Brother Lin. We will go there directly."
Yun Lintian said with a faint smile. "Thank you."
Ximen Wu laughed slightly. "It should be me who said that."
Soon, the carriage finally stopped at a single courtyard with a small garden inside.
When Yun Lintian stepped out of the carriage, a row of female servants had already been waiting for him.
"Welcome back, Second Young Master." The female servants said in unison.
Ximen Wu opened his palm toward Yun Lintian. "This is my Brother Lin. All of you must serve him well."
"We understood." The servants responded readily.
Ximen Wu didn't say anything further and brought Yun Lintian into the courtyard. After introducing various places for Yun Lintian, Ximen Wu brought Yun Lintian to an alchemy room at the back of the courtyard.
"This is the room I prepared for you, Brother Lin. You can tell me if there is something missing." Ximen Wu opened the door and walked into a spacious room with a massive stove at the end of the room.
Yun Lintian glanced around the room briefly and paused in a silver cauldron beside the stove. Without a doubt, it was a Divine Tribulation rank artifact.
"How is it?" Ximen Wu asked with a smile. "This cauldron is a great treasure I obtained from the Mystic Auction House last month. It happened that Brother Lin needed it. I'll give it to you."
Yun Lintian was surprised by Ximen Wu's generosity.
Ximen Wu said further. "Of course, I have no intention of tying Brother Lin here. I hope that I can make friends with you."
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Aren't we already friends?"
The smile on Ximen Wu's face grew wider upon hearing this. "Hahaha! You're right!"
After laughing for a good while, he took a small jade box out and opened it, revealing a bright yellow fruit inside. "This is the Thunder Fruit I got from the Thunder Ruin. Brother Lin can use it at ease. I won't blame you even if it fails in the end."
Yun Lintian took the box and nodded slightly. "Leave it to me."
Ximen Wu hesitated briefly and asked. "Can I stay here and watch you refine the pill?"
"Sure." Yun Lintian had no objection. His alchemy art wasn't something anyone could learn by just watching.
"Prepare the ingredients." Yun Lintian said and walked toward the stove.
Ning Yue quickly followed and took the ingredients that Yun Lintian handed it to her to clean up.
After setting a fire, Yun Lintian checked on the cauldron briefly before putting it on the stove. Although the cauldron was powerful, Yun Lintian had no problem using it.
A while later, Ning Yue came to Yun Lintian's side with the prepared ingredients.
"Put them in." Yun Lintian said calmly, letting Ning Yue pour all the ingredients into the cauldron directly.
This scene startled Ximen Wu slightly. To his knowledge, all the ingredients were different, and they needed different ways to deal with them. However, Yun Lintian simply poured them into the cauldron at the same time. This made him doubt how Yun Lintian was going to refine them.
Yun Lintian grabbed the cauldron and injected his divine energy into it before shaking it a few times.
A moment later, the flame abruptly grew bigger and engulfed Yun Lintian and the cauldron directly.
"What…" Ximen Wu was dumbfounded by the scene. He wanted to step forward but held back when he saw Ning Yue's calm face… Maybe this was his normal operation?
"His affinity with the fire element is abnormally high." The old man's voice resounded in Ximen Wu's ears. "It seems we have underestimated him again."
Ximen Wu's brows raised slightly when he heard this. The way he looked at Yun Lintian completely changed this time. It had become more solemn…
