Chapter 418: Ling Feng, a Well-Known Young Friend!

"Is he wrong?"

The elderly man in the long robe had a gaunt appearance, and his expression was incredibly serious, exuding authority without anger.

Upon seeing the elderly man, He Taichong, Li Rong's teacher, couldn't help but shiver. He quickly approached and respectfully greeted, "Master Yun, why are you here?"

Master Yun!

Everyone's eyes widened instantly. In the entire empire, there was only one Master Yun. It was the chief alchemist of the Cangqiong Sect, Yun Danqing!

Besides being the chief alchemist of the Cangqiong Sect, Yun Danqing was also the honorary president of the Alchemist Guild, the chief honorary president of the imperial family, and an honorary mentor at the four major academies in the imperial capital. Yun Danqing had so many titles that they couldn't all be counted.

Such an alchemy master, a figure who could cause a huge stir in the imperial capital just by stomping his foot, was far beyond the reach of a mere fifth-grade alchemist like He Taichong.

It was clearly General Deng's influence that brought such a distinguished figure here. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't even dream of meeting him.

Yun Danqing apparently recognized He Taichong as well. He glanced at him indifferently and said, "Impatient and irritable... You will only be fifth-grade your entire life. You should really listen to what this young friend just said."

"Yes, yes!" He Taichong nodded hastily, sweating on his forehead.

The same words, if spoken by Ling Feng, would be considered arrogant. But coming from Yun Danqing, there was nothing wrong with them.

Being scolded by him was considered a form of guidance. It was something most people wouldn't even get the chance to experience!

"Hahaha..." General Deng stepped forward and laughed. "Brother Yun, it was hard to get you to come. Let's not make it too serious, haha! Master He, you as well, haha..."

He Taichong continued to sweat and said with a wry smile, "In front of Master Yun, how dare I call myself a master? General Deng, please don't flatter me."

"Haha, I'm just a rough man who only knows fighting and killing. I don't like the scholarly airs you all have."

Deng Xian laughed heartily and loudly addressed the Deng family members with, "Come, come, greet Master Yun!"

"Master Yun!"

The Deng family members quickly bowed in greeting. General Deng's interruption alleviated the previous awkward atmosphere.

As the saying goes, the older one gets, the wiser they become. General Deng had to be a true wise man to have reached his position.

Yun Danqing nodded slightly, his gaze passing over the crowd and locking onto Ling Feng. In a flash, he seemed to cross a span of space and stood right in front of Ling Feng.

My god!

What's happening to this world?

Yun Danqing, a legendary figure in the alchemy world, actually bowed to a young lad!

Ling Feng twitched at the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat bewildered.

What did I do? Why does Master Yun know about me?

I've always been low-key!

Deng Yongshi looked at Ling Feng with astonishment. This brat, no, Teacher Ling Feng is actually this amazing?

As for Li Rong, her expression dimmed.

Great! All my efforts to embarrass Deng Yongshi and make her lose face have backfired now!

The Deng family members looked at Deng Yongshi with envy. It turned out that her teacher was actually impressive!

As for Li Rong’s fifth-grade alchemist teacher, he had become a joke, shrinking into a corner without saying a word!

Damn it!

Li Rong clenched her fists tightly. Why are all the good things going to Deng Yongshi? Even such a great teacher!

Among those present, only General Deng guessed some of the reasons behind this. After all, Ling Feng was Yan Cangtian's student, and Yan Cangtian's alchemy skills were certainly not inferior to Yun Danqing's. It seemed that Ling Feng had indeed received Yan Cangtian's true teachings.

Little did he know, Ling Feng's alchemy skills were even better than Yan Cangtian's! It was just that his true qi cultivation was still insufficient to refine overly advanced medicinal pills.

"Hehe..." Ling Feng pursed his lips, smiling awkwardly. "Senior, I'm a bit confused about the situation!"

"I'll mention two types of medicinal pills, and you'll understand the reason." Yun Danqing smiled faintly. "The Malevolent Elemental Pill from the Cangqiong Sect and the Azure Cloud Striped Pill you gave to Yan Cangtian. Now, do you understand?"

"Well... uh..." Ling Feng blinked. "Senior, how did you know?"

"Let's just say it's fate!" Yun Danqing laughed heartily. "However, Yan Cangtian has indeed found a good successor! I envy him greatly!"

Ling Feng pursed his lips. It seems that Master Yun thought all my alchemy techniques were passed down by Yan Cangtian. However, he didn't need to explain. He just smiled faintly. Yun Danqing's appearance couldn't have been better timed. Otherwise, if he wanted to win back some face for Deng Yongshi, he would have had to show off a bit.
