Chapter 40: Chapter 38 100000

Master Li Yun graced the Ye Residence, causing everyone present to feel honored and shocked.

Ye Ao had already stepped forward, cupping his fists and laughing, "Master Li Yun, it is indeed an honor, an honor. We did not expect you to visit our humble home. Truly, your presence brings glory to our Ye Family."

The three elders all wore pleasant expressions, not showing the slightest sign of arrogance or impatience, displaying great respect.

"Greetings to Master Li Yun!"

Behind him, the Ye Family members all respectfully performed a ritual bow, greeting Master Li Yun, not daring to neglect.

Among the younger generation of the family, many looked at Master Li Yun with admiration and awe.

An Alchemist, that was indeed a truly esteemed figure, significant wherever and whenever, possessing a status more venerable than that of an Innate Realm master, rarely seen on ordinary days.

It was unexpected that today, Master Li Yun himself would visit. Although his purpose was unknown, it was still a considerable honor.

Among those present, only Ye Chen did not bow but simply nodded at Master Li Yun from a distance.

Master Li Yun immediately shuddered and realized that this Ye Chen was the contact for the mysterious Mr. Qian in black robes he was seeking, joy emerging on his face.

However, this scene went unnoticed by everyone except for Ye Zhengyang. Seeing Ye Chen not performing the bow, Ye Zhengyang, who was intent on finding fault, seized the opportunity and rebuked him coldly, "Ye Chen, what kind of behavior is this? Not hastening to bow when you see Master Li Yun, what are you standing there for?"

Faced with Ye Zhengyang’s exploitation of the situation for trouble, Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, "Noisy!"

Ye Zhengyang’s face became flushed with anger, but considering Master Li Yun’s presence, he dared not erupt in rage and merely glared fiercely at Ye Chen, suppressing his anger, waiting for another day to properly handle him.

The other family members were quite astonished; although Ye Chen was a prodigy, he was indeed bold. Didn’t he see that Master Li Yun was still present? Yet he was still so wildly arrogant; truly reckless.

The Great Elder timely opened his mouth, smiling and said, "Master Li Yun, please don’t take offense. We were just about to discipline this beast; if we have been negligent, please don’t take it to heart."

"Enough!" Ye Ao shouted, staring coldly at the three elders, "You three old fellows have gone too far, calling him a beast every time, really too much."

But the Third Elder coldly laughed, "There is no too much or too little, just stating the facts."

"Oh?" Master Li Yun looked at Ye Chen in surprise, asking, "Is this Ye Chen?"

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Master Li Yun to actually recognize this waste. The Great Elder quickly said, "Master, you are right, this is Ye Chen. If he has offended you in any way, please point it out. Our Ye Family will definitely deal with it strictly, even if he is the Family Head’s own son, we will not easily forgive him. Rest assured."

Instead of replying, Master Li Yun asked with interest, "What exactly has Ye Chen done?"

Although surprised by Master Li Yun’s inquiry, the three elders still very politely responded, listing all the charges previously determined, and added, "Master Li Yun, rest assured, we will definitely handle Ye Chen strictly."

"Handle?" At that moment, Ye Chen coldly smiled, glanced at them, and said, "You three old fellows are really enough. Since when are the charges against me whatever you say they are?"

"Hmph, Ye Ao, your good-for-nothing son truly lacks manners. Can’t you see that we are treating guests? Where does he get the nerve to butt in?" The Great Elder coldly snorted, adding another charge to Ye Chen.

"Have you said enough?" Ye Chen glanced indifferently at the Great Elder and nonchalantly said, "If you’re done talking, shut your mouths. Don’t you see a guest is present? Spouting nonsense, what kind of decorum is that? You are the Family’s Great Elder, but I think you’ve lived your age on a dog instead."

Stunned!

Everyone was stunned, Ye Chen’s demeanor and expression appeared exactly like an elder reprimanding a younger, completely reversing the roles between them.

What was this situation, who exactly was the elder, and who was the younger?

"You—" The Great Elder’s face was full of rage, about to reprimand Ye Chen, but the latter ignored him and instead turned to Li Yun, saying, "Li Yun, you have finally arrived. Did you bring the medicinal materials Mr. Qian requires?"

Oh no!

The color drained from everyone’s faces in the hall. Who was Master Li Yun? As an alchemist, he held a lofty and noble status, acclaimed as a ’Master.’ Even Ye Ao, the City Lord, would not dare to offend him lightly or call him by name directly. Yet, Ye Chen did just that, calling his name directly without displaying the respect others showed. Did he not realize that could offend Master Li Yun?

What could the consequences be from offending an alchemist? It was unimaginable.

Even the three elders who were previously at odds had gripped their hands with cold sweat. Ye Ao quickly stepped forward, laughing nervously as he pleaded, "Please don’t take offense, Master Li Yun. My son just spoke hastily..."

But before he could finish, what happened next left him and everyone else wide-eyed in shock. Master Li Yun did not look displeased at all. On the contrary, he nodded and said with a humble smile, "Young friend, Ye Chen, I have already collected some of the medicinal materials. I still need to return to the Royal Capital to purchase the rest. I am preparing to first hand over a part to Mr. Qian."

Stunned!

Everyone present was nothing but stunned.

What was going on here? Disrespected by a junior, yet Master Li Yun didn’t seem upset at all; instead, he genuinely smiled. Everyone was baffled.

Aren’t alchemists supposed to be very proud?

Yet, Ye Chen sneered. Generally, he wouldn’t act so arrogantly; he would politely address him as Master Li Yun. But sometimes, to emphasize his own status and make Li Yun respect him more, thinking that he had a close relationship with the mysterious Mr. Qian, could better utilize this connection, that’s why he blatantly called Li Yun by his name.

"As if it’s nothing," Ye Chen said, "Just hand them to me, and I’ll pass them on to Mr. Qian."

"Alright." Master Li Yun nodded, and the three attendants behind him hurriedly brought forward three precious jade boxes, handing them over. Upon opening them, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp, their eyes gleaming.

Each jade box contained several fragrance-rich Spiritual Treasure Medicine materials, all truly invaluable Spiritual Medicines with considerable age.

It could be said that the value of these Spiritual Medicines was no less than tens of thousands of gold coins, a tremendous fortune even relative to the entire Ye Family.

Ye Chen took a quick look and commented, "Not bad, the age is mature not young, surface intact, preserved in jade boxes. The Spiritual Energy’s inner essence is contained, very well preserved, which can keep the success rate of alchemy undiminished. Very good, I will relay this to Mr. Qian."

Master Li Yun looked at Ye Chen, surprised. He had thought Ye Chen was just a trusted intermediary of Mr. Qian, but his discerning eye and knowledge of alchemy were astounding.

Compared to Li Yun’s surprise, others were even more shocked. Why would Master Li Yun entrust these valuable medicinal materials, worth tens of thousands of gold coins, to Ye Chen? And who exactly was this so-called Mr. Qian?

For the first time, people felt that Ye Chen seemed far more mysterious than the useless reputation he usually carried.

However, what shocked them even more happened the next moment. Master Li Yun said, "Young friend, Ye Chen, do you happen to have the Purple Pattern Gold Card with you?"

Ye Chen immediately took out the Purple Pattern Gold Card, asking, "What do you need?"

Looking at the gold card shimmering with a purple pattern, everyone was stunned. Wasn’t that the legendary Purple Pattern Gold Card that only a few were qualified to possess?

This was a mysterious gold card that couldn’t be obtained with money alone, allowing an overdraft of up to one hundred thousand gold coins, and was a symbol of status.

Even Ye Ao had never possessed such a Purple Pattern Gold Card. Where did Ye Chen get it from?

The more they thought about it, the more shocked they felt about Ye Chen.

"Indeed, Mr. Qian has given the Purple Pattern Gold Card to you," Li Yun wasn’t surprised at all. Instead, he seemed to think it natural, as the various aspects displayed by Ye Chen were impressive enough to be trusted by the mysterious Mr. Qian.

He might even be Mr. Qian’s disciple.

With this thought, Li Yun took out another Purple Pattern Gold Card, slid it across the one in Ye Chen’s hand. A flash of gold light appeared, sinking into the latter’s card. Li Yun said, "Young friend Ye Chen, please inform Mr. Qian that today, I will return to the Royal Capital to purchase other Spiritual Medicines and will not be in Luofeng City temporarily. I’ve just transferred one hundred thousand gold coins for any urgent needs Mr. Qian might have. If Mr. Qian has time, he can come to find me in the Royal Capital, and I will ensure he is well received."

One hundred thousand gold coins!?

Li Yun’s other words were ignored, but the mention of one hundred thousand gold coins exploded like thunder in their ears, making their eyes widen.
