Chapter 1027: Chapter 659: Alchemy Master

```

...

In the dimly lit room, Ye Lan stared silently at the dishes on the table, the expression on her face had all but faded, leaving only an unshakable indifference.

Just earlier at the meeting of the Eight Peaks, she had brought up a few matters.

Yet, not even a full day had passed before someone else stepped into this small courtyard once again.

As a cold light sparked in Ye Lan’s eyes, the shadows of the candles in the room suddenly stopped flickering, frozen on the walls, making the entire courtyard seem void and disconnected from the world.

The large tree in the courtyard, lush with leaves, ceased its rustling sounds abruptly.

Shadows of leaves on the ground gradually took on the shape of swords.

In the space of a breath, the two old men following Liu Ruifeng were soaked in cold sweat, feeling as if thorns were pressed against their backs, their loose facial skin trembling uncontrollably.

In contrast,

It was the younger and less experienced Liu Ruifeng who, amidst this chilling change, remained calm and collected, his eyes filled with an excitement that was intense to the extreme.

He was more eager than anyone for Ye Lan to make a move.

Father was keeping an eye on this place; his own life was not in danger, at worst he would sustain serious injuries.

Those uncles and senior brothers might still feel guilty, hence none of them spoke out and joined hands to scrape off this lowly woman’s title as Peak Master.

If this woman attacked a fellow Disciple from another peak without reason, and this Disciple happened to be the only person capable of concocting Tribulation Pills... Tsk, infighting over personal grievances that affect the grand scheme of the master, all of Shenxu Mountain will not tolerate her!

With that thought, Liu Ruifeng’s breathing grew a bit heavier.

To exchange half his life for the position of a Peak Master was an incredibly worthwhile deal!

Just then, the candlelight on the table suddenly returned to normal, the myriad of sword shadows in the courtyard swiftly retracted, reverting back to their original shapes as branches and leaves.

Liu Ruifeng’s face subtly changed.

He saw that the dark-robed young man, Shen Yi, had at some point placed his palm on the back of Ye Lan’s hand and gently pressed down, stopping the invisible storm laced with endless murderous intent.

"Good."

Shen Yi withdrew his hand, his gaze turning toward the outside of the room as if nothing had happened, then he took out a Jade Slip and swiped his finger over it.

In the next moment, all the confusions he had encountered while deducing were recorded into it.

He tossed the Jade Slip over, Shen Yi nodded slightly: "Thank you for the trouble."

...

Liu Ruifeng caught the Jade Slip, his face twisting in a strange expression, and after a long silence, he found himself unable to speak.

What the hell! Can’t understand a word?

Come here to snatch away his Dan Peak, and actually expect me to help solve problems, what does he take my Sixth Peak for, a fool?!

"What, having second thoughts?" Ye Lan glanced at the back of her hand and curled her fingers slightly.

Had it been before, she would not have possibly let Liu Ruifeng walk out of the Fifth Peak intact today, because she simply didn’t care about these things, or else she wouldn’t have left Shenxu Mountain directly.

But now the situation was different, and she naturally couldn’t act as whimsically as before.

Hearing this, the two old men nudged Liu Ruifeng slightly with their shoulders: "..."

Having already made his statement, if he reneged now, wouldn’t it confirm suspicions of coming here as a provocation.

"How could that possibly be."

Liu Ruifeng forced a smile, his mind entering into the Jade Slip. After reading the content inside, his smile on his face became a bit more genuine.

He had to admit, this newcomer was indeed a Pill Master with not a bad foundation.

All his basic skills could be considered extremely solid.

No wonder Ye Lan went out of her way to bring him back to Shenxu Mountain, even harbouring some unrealistic thoughts.

However, judging by these problems alone, this person was likely from a minor family and had not reached the level of understanding Tribulation Pills, being far behind himself.

By the time this person makes progress in his Alchemy Dao, it would be too late.

Thinking so, Liu Ruifeng closed his eyes. Although his response was somewhat perfunctory, he did not intentionally leave any wrong answers.

After all, this person was also a proper Alchemist, and leading him astray was not something that could be accomplished with a mere thought; if the young man noticed anything odd and used it against him, it might actually damage his own reputation.

To sit in the Peak Master’s seat of Dan Peak, Liu Ruifeng needed a "justification" more than Ye Lan did, one that was seemingly out of consideration for the master.

With the assurance of victory already in hand, why cause more trouble.

"The Void Treasure Pill is too profound for you; this Azure Dragon Blood Jade Pill is an entry-level Tribulation Pill, you only need to infuse the Power of One Tribulation to consider it Perfection, it’s more suitable for your practice."

Of course, even knowing that Shen Yi’s Alchemy Dao cultivation was shallow, Liu Ruifeng was still not willing to hand over the Alchemy Formula of the Void Treasure Pill, so he casually provided an entry-level Alchemy Formula instead, making him slow to ponder.

"Thank you." Shen Yi took back the Jade Slip.

"No need to be polite, we are all disciples of Dan Peak, in the future, if junior brother needs anything, just say the word."

Liu Ruifeng nodded, his smile not reaching his eyes.

His main purpose of visiting this courtyard today was to provoke Ye Lan, followed by probing the extent of this newcomer Disciple.

Although he did not get to see the woman take action, but now that he had investigated, her disciple’s prowess in Alchemy Dao was nothing special, and would probably just be able to bluff her, an outsider.

To think of taking over Dan Peak with such a person was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

"Sister, the day has turned dark, Ruifeng will not disturb you any further." He bowed slightly, leading the two old men as they left towards the bottom of the mountain.

It wasn’t until they reached the foot of the mountain that the two old men finally breathed out forcefully, their hearts still racing: "What an unimaginable notion, this woman left Shenxu Mountain, without resources to rely on, walking alone in the world, yet her cultivation has made such explosive progress, had she stayed on Dan Peak, she would have probably reached the Fourth Grade by now!"
