C35 – We also Have Alchemists
Yun Haoyan couldn’t help but smile as he called out loudly:
“Master, please come out now!”
“What is it, Yun Haoyan?” Miao Hujin entered with a hearty laugh.
The elders and Yun Haoyan’s father turned their attention to the venerable figure before them.
Yun Hai quickly approached the elder and offered a respectful bow.
“Excuse me, sir, are you the master Yun Haoyan spoke of?”
Miao Hujin, stroking his beard, gave a confirming nod.
“Indeed, I am Yun Haoyan’s master. My name is Miao Hujin.”
All eyes were on Miao Hujin, whose presence exuded an air of distinction. It was clear at a glance that he was a genuine powerhouse, a true authority, far beyond the Alchemist from the Bian family.
Naturally, Miao Hujin was a Pill King with strength that had reached the Martial King realm, a renowned figure across the entire Sunbaked Land.
He was simply being himself.
“May I inquire about your level of strength...” an elder asked, his curiosity piqued.
Miao Hujin smiled and replied, “Which strength are you referring to—my alchemical prowess or my martial cultivation?”
This hierarchy is similar to that of Martial Cultivators: Martial Spirit, Martial King.”
“I see. Thank you for clearing up our confusion,” they responded.
The elders and my father all offered their respects to Miao Hujin.
Miao Hujin quickly lifted them to their feet, chuckling, “I am Yun Haoyan’s master, and since you are all his seniors, we should consider ourselves peers.”
“But that’s not acceptable,” they protested. “You’re a Grand Martial Master and a Grand Alchemist. Your status far exceeds ours; we must show you the respect you deserve.”
The elders spoke as one.
“Let it go,” Yun Haoyan said with a grin. “My master is quite laid-back. There’s no need for excessive modesty—it only invites ridicule.”
“That’s not how it works,” they insisted. “The strong must abide by certain codes. We can’t disregard these and become the subject of mockery.”
“How about we compromise? We’ll address you as Elder Miao. Would that be acceptable?” Yun Hai suggested.
“Fine, let’s settle on that,” Miao Hujin agreed, smiling.
Pretending to be Yun Haoyan’s master had already been a source of anxiety for him; he certainly wasn’t about to let them elevate him any further.
