"I heard from Green Emperor Xiahou that you can refine top-grade elixirs?" Xiahou Chun suddenly changed the topic.

"So what if I can?" Dugu Qianye said.

"Could you let me see your elixir-forming technique?" Xiahou Chun asked.

Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "These are my secrets. Can I just show them to anyone?"

"Eh—" Xiahou Chun was rendered speechless by Dugu Qianye’s response.

Xiao Wanwan saw that Xiahou Chun was more concerned about Dugu Qianye’s alchemy techniques rather than the matter of taking Green Emperor Xiahou as a disciple, and said, "Master, why do you care about her alchemy? Even if her alchemy level is higher, she cannot become the master of our Green Emperor by status!"

"Only the core disciples from my Alchemist Sect can refine top-grade elixirs!" Xiahou Chun glared at the tearful Xiao Wanwan, causing her to swallow her words just as they reached her lips.

"Why?" Dugu Qianye asked. Could it be their sect’s secret technique?

"Because this is the secret technique passed down by our Alchemist Sect, and all sect disciples have sworn not to disclose it. Your ability to refine top-grade elixirs is very strange. Who is your master?" Xiahou Chun looked at Dugu Qianye with suspicion.

Dugu Qianye shrugged her shoulders and said, "I have no master, and as for the technique of forming elixirs, can’t it be my own creation?"

"Impossible!" Xiahou Chun said with certainty.

"This... weren’t you just asking me to sever my master-disciple relationship with Green Emperor Xiahou? Why are we talking about my technique now?" Dugu Qianye asked.

Xiahou Chun stared at Dugu Qianye and said, "You will compete with my disciple. If you win, I will agree to Green Emperor Xiahou taking you as a master."

Dugu Qianye really wanted to say why should I agree to you, but looking into Green Emperor Xiahou’s hopeful eyes, her words went around in circles, and by the time they came out, they had turned into an agreement.

"Let’s go back now then," said Xiahou Chun as he stood up, ready to leave, his attitude surprising everyone present.

What’s this pace? Dugu Qianye felt she could hardly keep up with his train of thought.

"Master, tomorrow is City Lord Gong’s birthday," Tian Bo reminded.

"Never mind his birthday. We’re going back. Tell him that the sect has urgent matters and we won’t be attending," Xiahou Chun said.

Dugu Qianye understood that Xiahou Chun was also the kind of person who acted on his words, just like Green Emperor Xiahou. She sighed and said, "I need to inform my elder brother."

Xiahou Chun pulled out a mobile array and said, "Go tell him, then come over, we’re heading back to the sect."

Dugu Qianye helplessly went to find Jian Yuezhi and explained the situation. She originally wanted to say she would hurry back the day after tomorrow, but after Jian Yuezhi heard about it, he insisted on going with them to the Alchemist Sect and told Tian Bo to include him in the message while reporting. After all, his duty was to make an appearance and present a gift. Now that the gift was given, it didn’t matter to him whether he attended the birthday celebration or not.

When Dugu Qianye brought Jian Yuezhi over, Xiahou Chun immediately recognized him and looked at him and Dugu Qianye with suspicion.

"Cough cough, my elder brother said he wants to go with me," Dugu Qianye said.

"Young Sect Master Jian, wouldn’t it be inconvenient for you to go?" Xiao Wanwan said. Apart from his slightly better talent in artifact refining, how could he compare to her own son? Yet he had always been named alongside him, which she found quite displeasing. Moreover, the Alchemist Sect and the Refiners Sect had always been at odds with each other.

"If my sister is going, you naturally have to go as well. What if you are jealous of her talent and want her life? I have to go to protect her throughout the journey!" Jian Yuezhi said. It was rare for him to find someone he liked, and he would regret it to death if anything happened to her!

"But..." Xiao Wanwan wanted to say something else, but Xiahou Chun spoke up, "Then let’s go together." After saying that, he took out the Transmission Array, injected Spiritual Power into it, and placed it in the middle of the open space, watching as the flowing Spiritual Power sketched out the runes of the Transmission Array around it.

"Let’s go." After the Transmission Array was completed, Xiahou Chun walked in first, followed by Xiao Wanwan and Green Emperor Xiahou.

She always felt a sense of urgency in Xiahou Chun’s words, but she couldn’t figure out why. After exchanging a glance with Jian Yuezhi, the two of them stepped into the array. Then with a flash of light, their figures vanished, leaving behind only a broken formation plate in the room...

Dizzy and nauseous, especially with the unstable spatial transfer of the Mobile Array, Dugu Qianye and Jian Yuezhi both ran off to one side to vomit after exiting the Transmission Array.

"Master, how are you?" Green Emperor Xiahou brought over a jug of water for Dugu Qianye to rinse her mouth and asked with concern when he saw her pale face.

Dugu Qianye took the water, swished it vigorously in her mouth, spat it out, and said, "I’m all right."

Green Emperor Xiahou handed another jug to Jian Yuezhi, noting that he was vomiting even more violently than Dugu Qianye; he now understood why Jian wouldn’t travel far. If it were up to him, he would definitely not want to take the Transmission Array either!

"Father, Master can’t possibly compete with my senior brother today." Green Emperor Xiahou looked at Xiahou Chun.

Xiahou Chun observed their weakened state and said, "Then you take them to rest, and two days from now go to the first Alchemy Room." Then he left with Xiao Wanwan.

Only after Dugu Qianye felt somewhat better did she begin to look around at where they were. To her surprise, the Transmission Array had taken them directly to the back mountain of the Alchemist Sect. Standing on the mountain, one could see an overview of the entire Alchemist Sect below. Imposing gates, rows upon rows of houses, and uniformly dressed people rushing about in various courtyards.

"Master, I have arranged a courtyard for you two. Go back and have a good rest first," Green Emperor Xiahou said.

The two nodded and followed Green Emperor Xiahou down the mountain. He had arranged a separate courtyard for them, which was also not far from his own.

"You two have a good rest first; I will come to see you again tomorrow." Green Emperor Xiahou said as he left; he wanted to ask Xiahou Chun the reason for his actions.

Previously, he had been too excited and had not thought deeply. Now that he was back, he felt that his father’s actions had an ulterior motive. If it was just to have him and Dugu Qianye dissolve their master-disciple relationship, there was no need to bring her back to the Alchemist Sect!

Dugu Qianye gave Jian Yuezhi an elixir to clear the mind, and she took one herself. Then the two each found a room and went to sleep. They slept until noon the next day.

Green Emperor Xiahou, filled with questions, left Dugu Qianye and the others and went to Xiahou Chun’s courtyard. Before he could knock, he heard a voice from inside inviting him in.

Green Emperor Xiahou went in and saw Xiahou Chun alone inside. He asked, "Where’s mother?"

"Knowing you would come, I sent her away on purpose." Xiahou Chun had been facing away from the door, but turned around when he heard Green Emperor Xiahou’s voice and said, "I know what you want to ask. You’re wondering why I brought her back, right?"

Green Emperor Xiahou nodded.

"Wait till your eldest senior brother arrives, then I’ll explain to both of you," said Xiahou Chun, then fell silent. Green Emperor Xiahou sat down on a chair to the side.
