"Get going, get going. Just keep moving." a guard said.
"The number of people who have come to this one alchemy meet is too much. The entire city is teeming with alchemists. It is getting too hard to control." his friend laughed as they struggled to control the crowd.
"This is so frustrating. There are so many alchemists here! This must be the first time that so many of them are here. And all of them are so young! They are the geniuses of the entire kingdom!" the former said.
"And every single one of them thinks that they are the VIPs! They feel like they need ten guards to cater to their needs. It is so irritating, working with such people." the other nodded.
"What did you say, your lowly slave?" one of the alchemists that was walking by raised his eyebrow.
"Forgive us, master. We were not talking about you. We were talking about the other alchemists who dare call themselves geniuses when you exist." the guards immediately fawned upon this alchemist.
"Of course I am the greatest. In fact, I will probably win this meet. After all, the Pill Tower of the Baiji City sent only me with the confidence that I would give them pride." the alchemist puffed his chest.
"Yes. Of course." the guards were experts in handling the alchemists now after so much practice. Some of the alchemists were even so generous as to give them the discards that they didn't care about.
With so many alchemists coming, many of the rooms in the Pill Tower, and the other inns were taken. In fact, many of the inns that were always empty became so crowded.
But at the end of the day, alchemists were alchemists. Cultivators were as common as flies compared to alchemists. And the higher ranked ones were almost impossible to find or meet.
Any of the Fifth or sixth rank alchemists were able to command so much power just from their connections alone.
"Hello friend. Where can I find an inn for a few nights?" a young man with a cloak over him asked a guard.
"You also want a room? You can go to Silver Bull Inn. My friend owns that inn, and for a few spirit coins, he can give a room. It is usually not that expensive but because of how many alchemists are coming in town, along with their people, it is hard to get a room these days." the person that the young man asked laughed out loud.
He did not for a moment, think that this young man was an alchemist. With a robe covering his head, and no rich or flashy clothing, he was not like any of the young geniuses that the Pill Towers around the kingdom had raised.
When someone became a great alchemist at such a young age, haughtiness, arrogance, and pride were almost expected from them. And this young man was just unassuming.
"Thank you so much for your help, friend." the young man bowed and walked forward with those directions.
"If you are here to buy any pills, then I suggest that you wait for the meet to finish. Many of the pills that are created in the process will be available for a very cheap price." the man shouted at the young man who as walking away.
"Thank you for your suggestion. I will definitely try it." the young man turned around and smiled.
He walked away, and went to the Silver Bull Inn. Inside, it was completely chaotic. Almost every single table was occupied. Of course, there were many alchemists among them.
With every table taken, the young man scoured around to see if he could find a good table. Finally, he spotted that a single table was free.
There was just one person who was in a corner, and was just having a table for himself.
The young man walked up to that person and smiled.
"Hello, brother. It looks like all the other tables are full. Can I sit with you?" he asked.
The other party looked at this young man.
"Have a seat. A table is indeed, hard to find in this city now. Every young genius thinks that they are entitled to their own table, and it is getting a little annoying."
"Are you also here for the alchemy meeting?" the young man asked.
"Yes. My master is forcing me for no reason. Apparently, I am supposed to meet someone in the city and I have to join the meet as well."
"Your name? I am Ru Wang, by the way." the young man smiled.
"Me? I am Liu Tian. I am just a victim of a scam that made me get a terrible master."
This was none other than Liu Feng! On his third glass of beer already, he was ready to pour all of his sorrows into someone.
As someone in the Nascent Soul stage, he was more than strong enough to just allow dispel the alcohol with his Qi. But he still chose not to and decided that he would taste the alcohol for how it was.
"It seems like you have a lot of troubles, brother. I will drink to that." Ru Wang smiled and raised a glass of beer that a waiter brought him.
"To fake people, and to enemies all around the world. Let us get drunk beyond measure." Liu Feng smiled and downed the entire jug in one go.
No matter how much he shouted, there was no one to judge what he said here. In all this noise, who could hear what he said?
At least, that was for him. But the instant after he said that, the Inn went completely silent.
Everyone looked at the entrance.
"God! I can't believe that I have to come to a rundown place like this. Uncle Gi. Get someone to clear a table so that I can sit there." an arrogant, young, female voice said.
