The qualification tournament didn't end until late at night. More than half of the people were eliminated, with more than 8,000 people in each group. Even the two groups combined only had around 3,000 people left, and among them, the junior division only had around 800 people.
In the Alchemist Association, Qin Yang was busy arranging missions. The Face Assembly was organized by the Southern Fire Sect on the surface, but in reality, it was managed by the Alchemist Association from behind the scenes. The Alchemist Association was responsible for all the alchemy pills required, and the Alchemist Association accounted for sixty percent of the Alchemist Association's income.
Zhang Yufeng walked into the Alchemist Association angrily and shouted, "Qin Yang, get your ass out here!"
This Qin Yang was one of the few Grade 8 Alchemist in the Mundane Region, not even a Heavenly Master Stage cultivator would dare to call him so loudly. The moment Zhang Yufeng arrived, he immediately called Qin Yang by his full name, and the people from the Alchemist Association all looked at Zhang Yufeng in surprise. What kind of person would dare to call their vice president by his full name?
Qin Yang was in the middle of arranging the spirit herbs needed for the advanced stage competition. Zhang Yufeng was shouting and shouting at the top of his lungs, causing the entire Alchemist Association to tremble slightly.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's you. What's your name in my Apothecary Guild? Don't you know that I'm busy?"
"Pei, I see that your bones are itchy again. Do you want me to help you loosen up?"
"What are you saying? You are the dignified founder of the South Fire Faction. You don't need to personally do this, just order your subordinates to do what you need to do. I am flattered that you have come personally." In fact, Qin Yang knew in his heart that Zhang Yufeng came here in a rage because of Ah Bao. During the day, Zhang Yufeng told Qin Yang to check Ah Bao's background, but since Ah Bao had caused trouble in the South Fire, Qin Yang was afraid of Zhang Yufeng's revenge, so he did not report it.
Zhang Yufeng's cultivation was extraordinary. Although Qin Yang was a Grade Eight Alchemist, he did not dare to casually provoke such a person. Moreover, this Zhang Yufeng was someone close to Liu Zichen. Who was Liu Zichen? In the mortal world, no one dared to say anything when Liu Zichen said it. Even a Grade Nine Alchemist would have to be respectful in front of Liu Zichen.
"Alright, alright. Cut the crap. Don't think that I wouldn't dare to do anything to you just because you're the vice president of the Transcendent Alchemist Association. Quickly tell me, who is that fellow's background?"
Qin Yang smiled and invited Zhang Yufeng into a room, and said: "That kid's name is Liu Yibao, that's all I can tell you. In fact, your South Fire Sect has more information than me, if you don't believe me, you'll know after walking around the streets."
Zhang Yufeng slapped the table and said angrily: "Qin Yang, are you kidding me? Go out on the street and you'll find out what the kid's background is? "
Qin Yang shook his head and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Zhang Yufeng frowned. Qin Yang normally wouldn't joke around, the Alchemist Association was managed by him to this day, and the number of alchemists in the entire Union of Alchemists was only a few hundred. In such a vast Transcendence, the wealthiest Alchemist Association only had a few hundred people?
"Forget it, I'll believe you this time. I'll go take a look around the streets. If you find out that you're lying to me, then my South Fire Sect won't need to work with your Alchemist Association."
The South Fire Faction was the biggest partner of the Alchemist Association. If the South Fire Faction had cancelled their cooperation, then the Alchemist Association's losses would be huge, but this also showed that Zhang Yufeng cared a lot about Ah Bao. Ah Bao's talent had caused Zhang Yufeng, an old monster who had not accepted any disciples for ten thousand years, to be moved by it.
Indeed, it was just as Qin Yang said. As soon as Zhang Yufeng left the street, he saw some news about Ah Bao being wanted. He cursed under his breath, "Damn it, even my disciple dares to be wanted. This junior really doesn't know how to handle matters."
At the same time that Zhang Yufeng was angry, there was a sense of joy in his heart. This Ah'Bao was merely at the early Nascent Soul Stage, yet he had made a huge ruckus in South Fire City and was escaping from a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
The next morning, Ah'Bao came to the Nanhuo Plaza. Along the way, he discovered that the posters on the streets were all gone, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Ah, it's number 5078, go inform the elders."
Ah'Bao frowned, thinking that they had seen through his identity. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator.
"Please wait for a moment. Our elder will be here shortly."
"You elders, what are you looking for me for?"
"We'll know when the elder arrives. Hehe, I'm the one who's lusting after you. It's just an ordinary Immortal Soul stage practitioner in the South Fire Faction. In the future, I'll have to rely on little brother's help."
Ah'Bao was puzzled. Why did this Immortal Soul Stage expert from the South Fire Faction want me to help him? Ah'Bao was at a loss. This situation was not a bad one. Perhaps it was because his talent in alchemy was favored by the South Fire Faction, but this person was trying to curry favor with him.
Three minutes later, a man around sixty walked out. This man gave off a depressing feeling, and in his eyes, Ah'Bao could feel a scorching aura forcing him to release magic power to protect himself.
When this man spoke, the Immortal Soul Stage expert immediately bowed and greeted him, "Elder He."
Elder He raised his hand to signal for him to change his stance. He stared at Ah'Bao for a while before saying, "That's right. To be able to escape from under the eyelids of our Immortal Soul Stage cultivators, you have some strength. Follow me. Our ancestor wants to see you." With Elder He's appearance, many surrounding people recognized Elder He's identity. This Elder He held a very high position in the South Fire Faction. Apart from the elderlies who didn't show themselves, on the surface, this Elder He was above the tens of thousands of people in the South Fire Faction.
"Isn't that Elder He of the Southern Flame Sect?" Why would it appear in a place like this? " There were many people surrounding the entrance to the South Fire Plaza.
"What a strong aura. This Elder He is quite impressive."
Elder He snorted as his aura exploded, "What are you all doing here? What are you all doing?!" "Alright, kid, come with me."
This kind of imposing manner caused Ah'Bao to have no thoughts of resisting. If he made a move, even if Ah'Bao used all his trump cards, he would probably be instantly killed in front of Elder He.
Since there was no chance to resist, then he might as well go with him. It might not be a bad thing.
He followed Elder He all the way to the attic, which was the exact building that Qin Yang had been waiting to see him in the day before.
Zhang Yufeng had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing that Patriarch He had brought Ah Bao here, he revealed a smile and said, "Brat, it's not easy to meet you."
"You are?" Ah'Bao had never felt any aura from this person before, and even his spiritual sense couldn't detect any aura, just like an ordinary person.
"Hmm?" Ah'Bao moved his spiritual sense, and how could he possibly escape from this feeling? In fact, in terms of spiritual sense, Ah'Bao was as insignificant as a drop of water in the ocean in front of him.
"Divine sense." After a long time, Zhang Yufeng exclaimed in surprise, "That feeling, that is the soul consciousness! Ah'Bao actually has the soul consciousness, the soul consciousness that only those who have reached the Immortal Realm can have."
