The bloody smell on the long street had long been washed away. The ruins of the Black Python family had been cleared, and a vast square had been temporarily constructed in its place.
This would still serve as the venue for the alchemy conference.
In any case, within the profound world there were many magical treasures. Creating a perfect conference venue temporarily was very easy.
Not only that, but in these two days many outstanding alchemists had arrived in Sin City from outside.
Old Ancestor Changle had stipulated that any alchemist from the Heavenly Dragon Continent, the Divine Phoenix Continent, or the nearby sea regions could participate in the alchemy conference.
There were no age restrictions and no race restrictions. This loosened many limits compared to previous alchemy conferences.
Perhaps because of this, the event had become highly anticipated.
Even the Divine Phoenix Empire had sent Feng Ming Wushan to observe, along with court imperial physicians to compete.
Similarly, Changle Immortal Island had sent many alchemists, one of whom was particularly eye-catching.
His name was Dan Qing.
Dan Qing was just over thirty years old, yet he was one of the top alchemists on Changle Immortal Island. His rank in the Alchemists’ Association was “top-grade yellow tier”.
The badge Lingxiao currently wore was only “high-grade yellow tier”.
Since it was the final day before the alchemy conference, Feng Ming Piaoxue had come specially to visit Lingxiao on Old Ancestor Changle’s orders.
At that moment, Lingxiao was stretching his fists and feet in the courtyard.
After sleeping fully for two days, he felt as if his body was about to rust. It was rather uncomfortable, so practising in the courtyard counted as recovery.
Suddenly, two figures, one male and one female, appeared in his sight.
The woman was dressed in white like snow, though her clothes were adorned with beautiful and elegant snowflake patterns. This was quite different from the pure white garments Lingxiao had worn.
Her steps were light and graceful. Clearly, she had undergone strict education from a young age, which gave her such beautiful poise.
Princess Yunya’s residence had now been guarded and served by people from the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company.
At this time, the eyes of many bodyguards seemed captivated by the girl’s graceful steps. They stared without blinking.
Ever since Zhang Tiande had fled, the regional manager for these two continents belonging to the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company had been changed to Yunya.
It had to be said that the efficiency of the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company was truly very high.
Although they had not sent anyone to hunt down Zhang Tiande, they publicly announced his expulsion from the company.
This was a very clever move.
It was also a helpless one.
Because in this region, no one could command more respect than Princess Yunya.
Even if headquarters wanted to parachute in a manager, that person would probably be sidelined.
Thus, Heavenly Dragon Trading Company headquarters naturally went along with the flow.
It both granted a favour and avoided offending Princess Yunya. This was not a bad thing.
The woman was, of course, Feng Ming Piaoxue.
Perhaps in Lingxiao’s eyes, this woman was really nothing special. After all, with Moon Maiden, Ling Yixue, and Leng Mei as comparisons.
But in the eyes of other men, she was a goddess, the lover of their dreams.
The man walking beside Feng Ming Piaoxue wore an elegant long robe with gold trim. He was poised and dignified, exuding nobility in every aspect.
The man was somewhat slender in build, yet his steps were still very steady.
Especially his smile. It was like the light of spring, capable of melting the ice in girls’ hearts.
Of course, being handsome and refined was not particularly noteworthy. After all, in the profound world, due to different martial souls and cultivation methods, many people looked refined. That was normal.
The key was actually the badge on this man’s chest. It was surprisingly a “top-grade yellow tier” badge issued by the Alchemists’ Association.
What did this mean?
It meant that this man in his thirties was actually a top-grade yellow tier alchemist!
Within the scope of these two continents, he was absolutely one of the top existences among alchemists.
Perhaps earlier, some people might have thought this man walking beside that woman was like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.
It inevitably provoked jealousy and displeasure.
But upon seeing this badge, that jealousy and displeasure instantly vanished. In their place came only admiration and shock.
This person was none other than one of the alchemists sent by Changle Immortal Island, Dan Qing.
Moreover, Dan Qing had fallen in love with Feng Ming Piaoxue at first sight. After meeting her, he directly proposed marriage to Old Ancestor Changle.
This bold action not only did not anger Old Ancestor Changle, but instead earned praise for his courage. The ancestor even promised to help match them.
After all, for Old Ancestor Changle, a genius alchemist like Dan Qing was extremely important to Changle Immortal Island.
Although Lingxiao had cured his poison, that did not represent his full ability. Moreover, Lingxiao was not a martial artist of Changle Immortal Island.
It was normal that he would prefer to match Dan Qing with Feng Ming Piaoxue.
Of course, on the surface, this pair could be described as a talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.
The crowd could not help casting envious and admiring glances.
At this moment, the two had become the most dazzling sight in Yunya’s mansion.
Lingxiao looked at them and smiled faintly.
“Lingxiao, this is Senior Brother Dan Qing from Changle Immortal Island. He is also an alchemist and will participate in the alchemy conference this time.”
Feng Ming Piaoxue stepped forward and introduced him with a smile.
“Yes, I can see. A top-grade yellow tier alchemist. At such an age, that is truly remarkable.”
Lingxiao did indeed admire Dan Qing a little. To reach this level around thirty years old, his talent was even stronger than that of Sun Shang, the former Wonder Hand Heavenly Venerable.
“You are the Young Hero Ling that the ancestor often mentions? You look not even twenty years old. Are you really a high-grade yellow tier alchemist?”
Dan Qing looked at Lingxiao with a hint of arrogance and doubt.
He seemed unwilling to believe there was anyone in the world with greater talent than himself.
“What are you saying, Dan Qing? He is the one who saved my grandfather’s life. Do you not even have the most basic respect?”
Feng Ming Piaoxue was somewhat displeased.
“Hehe, sorry, Piaoxue. I just do not quite believe that was his own ability.”
Dan Qing smiled faintly. “Perhaps there is some expert guiding him from behind.”
Lingxiao had originally had a fairly good impression of Dan Qing. However, at this moment, he felt a little unhappy.
He had saved Old Ancestor Changle, and even that ancestor treated him politely. Yet this fellow dared to look down on him?
Just because this fellow had some talent?
He could not help sneering inwardly. In any case, the alchemy conference was about to begin. He did not need to explain or argue. When the conference started, who was superior would soon be clear.
“Whether I have an expert guiding me, Brother Dan Qing will soon find out. I only hope that, as a representative of Changle Immortal Island, you do not lose face at the alchemy conference.”
Lingxiao smiled faintly. “If the two of you have no other business today, then you may leave. I have just woken up and still have many things to do.”
