Eren walked through the long corridor, but only halfway through, he remembered something important.
"I forgot to tell her to remove me from the blacklist," he thought to himself. However, he quickly dismissed the thought, confident that she would be wise enough to do it herself.
"Even if she doesn't remove me from the blacklist, it's fine," Eren reassured himself, a smile forming on his face. "I'm 'Elder Li' after all."
He continued walking, his long robe gracefully fluttering in the wind.
He soon reached the main hall, where Ye Liang was standing while holding multiple bags that were filled with medicinal herbs.
If it was a normal clan, it would be seen as emptying the entire treasury, but for the Alchemy Hall, this much was nothing.
"Looks like everything is prepared."
Eren observed the ten bags. With the 7th Grade Alchemy Grandmaster's knowledge, he didn't even need to open the bags to see the herbs that were there. Just their mind scent was enough.
Ye Liang waited for Eren to keep the bags in his storage ring, still not understanding why this guy brought him here. Was this just for this much?
Was he just overthinking when he thought that Eren was planning something bad for him?
"Carry all these bags to the foot of my mountain. And remember, don't keep them in the storage ring as it might affect their properties in ways you can't comprehend," Eren told Ye Liang.
Ye Liang's expression darkened. He was to carry all these bags physically? And what did he mean by affecting the properties of herbs by keeping them in a storage ring?
It was absurd. Everyone carried herbs in the storage ring. There was no such thing as affecting their properties! This man... He was clearly saying it because he didn't want him to take the easy way out.
Usually, he could still cheat by keeping these things in his inventory, but he didn't know if Eren was going to be observing him to see if he cheated. He couldn't reveal his inventory or system.
"But your mountain is so far!"
Not only was the place too far, but he couldn't even fly. If he was to walk there with so much weight on his shoulders, it might take the entire night to reach there!
"Good to see that you agreed. As expected of Elder Li's disciple."
The woman who heard everything he told Ye Liang was at a loss for words.
"Can you have someone guide me to an Alchemy Room?"
"You are... an Alchemist?" The woman found Eren even more confusing. This man was an Alchemist? Why wasn't he associated with the Alchemy Hall then?
"Ah, right away."
Only when she saw Eren glaring at her, she commanded a person to lead Eren to an empty Alchemy Room.
....
Zia checked the Phoenix once more and cast a few protective measures around the room before leaving.
She walked to the main hall and met with the Alchemy Hall Manager.
"Did he leave?"
"If you are talking about the Elder, he hasn't left yet. Instead he..."
She informed everything that happened, including Eren asking for an Alchemy Room
"Hmm? What would he do with that? Does he think it's children's play? That fool will only waste the herbs."
Zia found Eren's action to be very childish. It was no different than Eren looking down on Alchemy.
Just because she became his disciple, did he really go crazy and start thinking that he was some great Alchemy Grandmaster?
"I will check on him myself," she told the young woman while leaving to check on Eren.
Soon, she was in front of the room assigned to Eren. She pushed the door open and entered the room.
"This...."
