Translator:?_Tat_??Editor:?Rundi

The City of Dan was one of the 10 major cities. It was a city that everyone in Yuezhou knew about.

The gathering of the alchemists that the five clans host was naturally famous across Yuezhou and was known to be the top competition of the younger generation. Therefore, every single gathering was very popular and attention-grabbing.

Consequently, the winners of the gatherings become the hot topic in Yuezhou. This year’s gathering, in particular, resulted in the birth of a perfect Dan. It was hard for everyone to not pay attention to the gathering this year.

Therefore, once the gathering of the alchemists drew its curtains this year, all sorts of information circulated around Yuezhou as if they had wings.

The name Ling Xian once again appeared before everyone. Everyone who heard this news all fell into a state of shock.

At the same time, he became someone all forces placed their eyes on!

With a dominating and overpowering attitude, he became a rising Sun that refuses to be diminished. He had outshone everyone of his own generation, even the powerhouses of the older generation!

This wasn’t just because he won the gathering of alchemists. Though this winning position is admirable and represented his position as the best alchemist of the younger generation, it was a title that refreshes every decade. If it weren’t him, it would’ve been someone else. At the very most, some waves would’ve been created, but not enough to startle the entire Yuezhou.

The true reason as to why his fame shocked Yuezhou was the way he won the competition – the perfect medicinal Dan!

To know that the alchemy industry in Yuezhou grows very aggressively and surpasses the speed it grows in Yunzhou, yet despite so, a perfect Dan remained a legend and never occurred in real life. It was all because it was far too difficult to practice it. Even a grandmaster alchemist wouldn’t be able to brew one in his lifetime!

Yet now, a 20 something-year-old young man had brewed a perfect Dan! How unbelievable was this?

Even though the Dan brewed was only of the sixth realm and to the grandmasters, it was nothing important – its effects, however, are at a level high enough to be peered up to by various grandmasters. This also represented Ling Xian’s shocking potential.

Think about it, for him to brew a perfect Dan of the sixth realm when he was merely a sixth realm alchemist… does this mean when he grows into a fifth realm alchemist, he will brew a perfect fifth realm Dan?

Will he brew a perfect fourth realm Dan?

Will third realm Dan be possible?

If he becomes a grandmaster one day, will he be able to brew a first realm Dan that can drive all alchemists insane?

From there, all forces in Yuezhou will go crazy then!

Alchemists have a very high position in the Taoism community because all cultivators need Dans. It was impossible for any cultivator to live with them. Though the Dans that are allowed into the market are relatively low in quality, they remain necessities in a cultivator’s daily life.

For healing, for Qi collecting, or leveling up, all sorts of Dans are necessary for a cultivator’s life and has completely and utterly engulfed into every cultivator’s life.

This was why alchemy was one of the three most wanted professions and they were so highly respected.

How valuable did an alchemist with the potential to one day become a first realm grandmaster who can brew a perfect Dan? It was impossible to measure that value!

To put it bluntly, the force that acquires him acquires a giant sum of richness. Even after many years, they will be able to defeat many powerhouses!

Because of this, how could the different forces not go crazy? Even the highly respectable three Houses were a little unsettled where they were. They all sent their best soldiers towards the City of Dan.

Their intention was to get Ling Xian into their force!

However, compared to the forces from everywhere else, the forces in the City of Dan was at an advantage. All the different forces have already paid their visit with expensive gifts.

The ones at the front of the line were the five different clans, and behind them were the smaller forces.

Sadly, without an exception, all that awaited these forces was a closed door.

To be visited by a countless number of people because of his famous achievement has been experienced by Ling Xian for more than once. It could be described many times.

Therefore, he knew very well how to deal with it and he had already guessed beforehand that something like was going to happen. Therefore, once he returned to the Nothing is for Sale store, he announced that he was now in isolation and would no longer see anyone.

If he had no other goals in mind, he would’ve at least greeted them and sacrificed himself for the forces. After all, greeting guests wasn’t too hard and didn’t require much of him.

But he already had plans to visit the Shang Qing Sect. This was a goal that would not be changed. Why would he stay in the City of Dan?

Therefore, he was closing the door before all forces within the City of Dan. Even the very capable five clans were no exceptions.

This angered the various forces in the City of Dan. Though they weren’t as powerful as the five Clans, they had been inside the City of Dan for many years and had some abilities. If they were anywhere else, they would be important forces, so why wouldn’t Ling Xian give them the face?

Yet they didn’t dare to be angry at Ling Xian. Because other than Ling Xian’s identity as a genius alchemist, he was also a completion leveled cultivator who stopped a God’s Trial.

They asked themselves honestly and none of them thought they could defend against such a terrifying person.

As for the five different clans; though they weren’t afraid of Ling Xian, they didn’t want to cause unhappiness with this Heaven’s Favorite who was limitless in potential.

Therefore, despite the fact that all forces had a door closed in their faces, they were helpless and could only suppress their anger.

Therefore, Ling Xian was in the clear and could finally quietly work on his clone.

After all, the body he used to enter the gathering was his real body. Both his name and his face will be remembered by many people. If his upcoming intention of hiding inside the Shang Qing Sect is made known, then it will cause great tragedy.

Therefore, he must change that clone in case someone recognizes him.

After about a month, he finally finished adjusting the clone and made it completely different than his original self. Because of the mysteriousness with the clone, even those of the original level would not be able to notice that it’s a clone.

Unless the cultivator had a pair of Inner Eyes, or else they wouldn’t be able to tell that he was using a clone.

Just then, the various representatives sent by the different forces arrived inside the City of Dan. After some searching, they arrived before the store Nothing is for Sale.

Now it was Ling Xian’s turn to be helpless.

With the arrival of so many different powerful forces from all over Yuezhou, he wasn’t scared, but he didn’t want to make any enemies. If he flat out rejects, then everyone would think he was being too proud and they would be unhappy with him.

He didn’t want to have to deal with those consequences.

Therefore, he had an idea – to leave the City of Dan. Then, he would have no reason to greet the different representatives and would avoid any unnecessary friendship or rivalry.

Plus, it was almost time for the Shang Qing Sect to admit new descendants, so it was time for him to move.

Just like that, right before the representatives came knocking on the door, Ling Xian explained everything to Xiao Cui and then left the store.

As for Hong Yan Xin, he didn’t even pay her a visit. He thought she must be behind doors trying to bring a dead man back to life.

After Ling Xian left the City of Dan and headed towards the Shang Qing Sect, he started another strange journey that was unusual but much more eventful.
