Chapter 3986: Alchemist's Guild

ambled eggs, steamed buns, congee for you, and by the way, two side dishes."After that, she turned around and took a dish from the pot, scooping out another helping of the dark stuff."Uh..."Ye Bufan's...Ye Bufan brought Ye Tian and the others with him. On one hand, he wanted to take them to Lingxiao Immortal City for training. On the other hand, with so many people together, their target would be larger, and they could better avoid suspicion of killing Shi Kai.

It turned out this tactic was still correct. Along the way, we encountered two or three times the divine consciousness of Emperor-level cultivators scanning over us, but they didn't linger, quickly shifting their attention to the next target.

It's clearly the strong cultivators of Lingxiao Sect who have made their move. It's just that these people never expected that those who would kill Shi Kai would be these youngsters who only seem to have the cultivation level of Immortal Venerables.

After two more days of travel, a gigantic immortal city appeared before everyone's eyes—it was the Lingxiao Immortal City.

Because the Alchemist's Guild is located here, it is also known as Dan City.

By contrast, this place is much more bustling than the remote Han Valley Immortal City. People throng the city gates, coming and going like weaving threads.

Moreover, there will be no more fairy crystal fees for entering and leaving the city. The guards will only check your tokens. If you haven't been to the city before, they will issue you a new token. Additionally, there is a jade slip with the city rules.

Ye Bufan and others received the token, entered the Cold Valley Immortal City, and then swept their divine sense over the jade slip.

The city ordinances here are quite similar to those of Hangu Valley Immortal City. Since there's a presence of the Alchemist Guild here, many alchemists frequent the city. Therefore, it's prohibited to use divine sense to probe into others' privacy.

However, the Alchemists' Guild is well-known throughout the entire city, and its location can be easily found out.

All cultivators' cultivation depends on the supply of resources, and among these many resources, the most common and indispensable is elixir.

For this very reason, alchemists hold the highest status among immortals. As their influence grows, so does the status of the Alchemist's Guild.

For many years, it has stood apart from the five major sects, not aligning with any one side. Yet, it possesses its own unique standing, earning the utmost respect from every sect.

This place is called Dan City for a reason. The outer city is Lingxiao Immortal City, and inside there's a smaller city as well, which is where the Alchemist Union is located.

Due to its exalted status, everything that happens within the union is not subject to the constraints of Lingxiao Immortal City. This was one of the conditions for establishing the union here in the first place.

When Ye Bufan and others arrived here, they saw that in front of the gate was a huge square, about ten thousand square meters.

In the middle stood a massive stone tablet, bearing the inscription "Alchemists' Guild" in five large characters.

At the same time, the gate towered majestically, emanating an aura of awe. Seven or eight guards stood watch in front of it.

Everything was not much different from what they had imagined, however, what surprised Ye Bufan and his group was that there was a group of people in front of the Alchemist Guild's gate, about a hundred meters away, blocking everyone who came.

A young man in white, holding a folding fan, sat arrogantly on a chaise longue.

The aura emanating from him was powerful, he was clearly a powerhouse at the late stage of the Immortal Venerable realm.

However, as a doctor, Ye Bufan could tell at a glance that this person's cultivation was mostly accumulated through the use of pills.

All show and no substance, their energy is flimsy and unsubstantial. If we're talking about true combat strength, they probably wouldn't even be a match for an average Immortal Venerable mid-stage cultivator.

Around him stood twenty to thirty guards, all with strength surpassing that of an Immortal King. Their faces were grim and their expressions vicious.

As soon as the crowd stepped onto the square, a thin middle-aged man shot out from the throng. He was mid-air when blood sprayed wildly from his body before he crashed heavily to the ground, clearly seriously injured.

This person was dressed in the attire of a celestial alchemist. On their chest, they wore a badge that shimmered with five stars, clearly indicating they were a fifth-order celestial alchemist.

He scrambled to his feet, furious.

"I want to take the exam for the Sixth Rank Immortal Alchemist, why shouldn't I be allowed in"

Faced with his rebuke, the tall head guard wore a look of disdain on his face.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying Didn't I just tell you, if you want to go in, pay a ten thousand fairy crystal entrance fee!"

"The Alchemist's Guild used to be free, when did it start charging Even if it started charging, you guys shouldn't be the ones collecting it, you're not part of the guild..."

Another short, wiry Xian Dan master stepped forward, but before he could utter a word, the head guard kicked him in the chest, sending him flying backward.

"Chirp chirp chirp, our young master does whatever he wants, it's none of your business to point fingers."

"Pay to enter, or get out!"

This guard captain was extremely arrogant, and even the short-statured celestial alchemist was kicked until he vomited blood and lay sprawled on the ground in disgrace.

The young man in white sat on a rocking chair, fanning himself with a folding fan and watching the scene, laughing out loud. He seemed extremely satisfied with what his men had done.

"You wait for me, I'm going to report you!"

Two alchemists got up from the ground and shouted towards the sky, “Someone has committed a crime, please ask the higher-ups to give us justice!”

In Lingxiao Immortal City, it is forbidden to fight privately. As soon as the two voices fell, a middle-aged man in an official uniform appeared before everyone.

"Who is shouting so loudly"

"Master, it was them who beat us up and..."

The Fifth Rank Immortal Pill Refiner gestured toward the young man in white robes while speaking, but before he could finish his sentence, he was rudely interrupted by the manager.

"I am the administrator of Lingxiao Immortal City. The affairs of the Alchemist Guild are not within our jurisdiction."

After finishing his words, he swept his robe sleeve and vanished from the crowd with a turn.

"Uh..."

The two beaten alchemists were completely dumbfounded. They had originally hoped that the other party would help them, but they didn't expect such a result.

"Hahaha, did you see that Want to sue this young master You'd better have the ability first."

With a haughty laugh, the youth in white robes rose from his reclining chair, looking down on the two with disdain.

"Let me tell you, this is my territory, Kong Xifeng's. Even if I kill you, no one will care!"

"You..."

Seeing him so arrogant, the two alchemists were furious, their eyes blazing with anger. They also knew they couldn't do anything to him.

Cultivation level is insufficient, the city manager of Immortal City doesn't care, it is indeed helpless.

In the end, she could only stomp her feet and leave.

Kong Xifeng looked again at the remaining alchemists: “No matter why you are here, whether to take the badge or seek pills, you must pay me immortal crystals.”

Who doesn't know that all of you alchemists are fat sheep, just pay money to get in, and if you don't pay, scram!

Hundreds of alchemists were gathered in the square at this moment. They didn't understand what had happened, but the facts were right before their eyes: if they wanted to enter, they had to pay a toll.

Most people chose to leave, while a small minority stayed and paid to enter.

Kōng Xīfēng was beaming with pride, and then settled back down on the chaise lounge.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. Although injustice was everywhere, such bullies were commonplace.

...It was unexpected to see him appearing so openly at the front door of the Alchemist's Guild. This was entirely different from what I had imagined....

Kong Xifeng and his people are wreaking havoc, yet the Alchemists' Guild nearby remains completely silent, as if they don't want to get involved at all.

"Forget it, whatever!"

Ye Bufan shook his head and, with the others in tow, walked towards the door.

He came here mainly to take the Alchemist Badge, and he's too lazy to bother with these people as long as they don't provoke him.nce was stunned. You have to know that although Wolf's cultivation level was slightly lower than Garnett's, he was still a real wolf king. But now, he wasn't even an opponent of this little girl in o...
