"If I guess correctly, you should be one of these four major families, right?"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said.
The man in white robe smiled bitterly and did not deny it.
"That's right."
The man in white robe said: "I am from the Li family, one of the four major families in Dan City. My name is Li Tian."
"The Li family?"
Ye Chen recalled the ranking reported by the old man in black robe.
The top rankings are basically occupied by the other three major families, and Li Tian's ranking is surprisingly outside the dozen or so.
Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly. His guess was indeed correct. If the Li family's alchemy strength was much stronger than the other three major families, how could they find him as an outsider?
"Brother Ye is so smart, he should have guessed it, right?"
The man in white robe said.
"If I guess correctly, you should want me to join your family and help your family achieve a good ranking in the finals, right?"
Ye Chen said, "Would you like to pay me?"
The man in white robe smiled and said: "Brother Ye is really direct. If someone like Brother Ye takes action, the amount of spiritual stones required will definitely be not a small amount. Can you go to my Li family first? This matter is not something I can decide.
.”
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
…
The Wang family, one of the four major families in Dan City.
Wang Clan Hall.
The head of the Wang family did not go to the alchemy conference, but stayed in the presbytery hall, quietly sipping fine tea.
"Although I did not go to the alchemy conference this time, I think that the children of my Wang family should be able to achieve a good ranking in the alchemy conference."
The head of the Wang family has great expectations in his heart.
The door of the Presbyterian Hall was opened, and Wang Zixuan led a group of Wang family children into the Presbyterian Hall.
"How's it going, Zixuan? Did you win first place in the alchemy competition?"
The head of the Wang family asked.
Wang Zixuan is the son of the head of the Wang family, and the head of the Wang family is looking forward to his performance.
Wang Zixuan then reported the rankings of the alchemy conference.
"Only second place?"
The head of the Wang family frowned slightly and asked: "Who is this number one? Why haven't I heard of his name before? This shouldn't be the alchemist of our Alchemy City, right?"
"It should be from outside."
Wang Zixuan said.
Seemingly thinking of something, the head of the Wang family said: "If this son comes from outside, then he should be able to join any family at will, including our Wang family. This son's attainments in alchemy are actually not inferior to yours. Go figure."
Let’s see if we can bring him into our family.”
"yes!"
Wang Zixuan nodded slightly.
Just as Wang Zixuan was about to turn around and leave, he turned around and asked, "What should we do if he doesn't want to join our family?"
The head of the Wang family sneered and said: "In Dan City, our Wang family is a local snake. How dare he, a non-local cultivator from outside, refuse us?"
Wang Zixuan understands and will kill him if he doesn't obey.
…
Soon, under the leadership of the man in white robe, Ye Chen arrived at the Li family and entered the Li family's elders' hall.
In the center of the elders' hall, a middle-aged man sat, and on both sides of the middle-aged man stood a group of elders from the Li family. This middle-aged man was obviously the head of the Li family.
"Master, this is Ye Chen."
The man in white robe said.
The head of the Li family nodded. He was present at the alchemy conference before, so he naturally knew how Ye Chen performed at the alchemy conference.
In just one hour, a top-quality elixir was refined.
Even he may not be sure of this!
"My little friend, before you came here, my son must have told you something about us, right?"
The head of the Li family stood up from his stool and walked up to Ye Chen, without any airs that a head of a big family should have.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up slightly, the head of the Li family was very knowledgeable about people and the world.
"I can take action, but..."
Ye Chen squinted his eyes and rubbed his right index finger and thumb.
"If I let my little friend take action, what price will I have to pay?"
The head of the Li family asked.
Their family's talents have been withering this year. If they don't get good results in the youth competition this time, it won't be long before the Li family will not be taken seriously by Dan Pavilion and will be expelled from the ranks of the four major families.
The Li family is in urgent need of a talented alchemist to support the scene and achieve a good ranking in the finals of the alchemy conference.
Even if it costs a high price, there is no hesitation in hiring an outsider to bear the name of their Li family.
"This number."
Ye Chen stretched out an index finger.
One million spirit stones?
The head of the Li family looked a little stunned.
The Li family has not developed very well in recent years, otherwise they would not have asked outsiders.
One million spirit stones is not a small amount of money for the current Li family.
However, the head of the Li family still gritted his teeth and agreed.
"good!"
The head of the Li family said.
Hear the words.
Ye Chen stood there with a calm expression.
The head of the Li family twitched his lips.
This is not the way to behave if you feel satisfied with your reward!
"My dear friend, is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"
The head of the Li family tried.
"Can I make one more small request?"
Ye Chen asked.
"Can."
The head of the Li family said.
The next moment, the head of the Li family felt a little regretful.
"I want to go to the Alchemy Pavilion and randomly select a seventh-grade elixir recipe."
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the head of the Li family almost vomited blood.
You call this a small request?
What is a small request for the seventh-grade elixir recipe?
You know, this is not a seventh-grade elixir.
With the elixir recipe, as long as there are alchemy materials, you can refine endless elixirs.
The value of a seventh-grade elixir is much higher than the value of a million spiritual stones.
It is no exaggeration to say it is priceless.
Even if he is the head of the Li family, if he wants to enter the Dan Pavilion and choose a seventh-grade elixir recipe, he will probably have to pay a large price.
"If the head of the Li family feels embarrassed, I won't force you. It's just that you have to find another expert."
Ye Chen turned around and left.
"Little friend, why are you so anxious? It's not like I don't agree with you. Isn't it just a seventh-grade elixir recipe? Youwei!"
The head of the Li family turned into an afterimage and came to Ye Chen's side, smiling.
The next moment, a lovely woman with a height of 1.53 meters and a pair of ponytails appeared on the field.
This woman's name is Li Youwei, the daughter of the head of the Li family.
"Youwei, take your friend to the Dan Pavilion to pick out a seventh-grade elixir recipe. This is the token."
"After choosing the recipe, don't forget to take your little friend to rest in the most luxurious inn in Dan City outside. I'll pay for it."
The head of the Li family gave Li Youwei the Dan Pavilion token he carried with him, and the latter took it carefully.
"You are determined, Master Li."
Ye Chen said.
Ye Chen, led by Youwei, came to the Dan Pavilion located in the center of Dan City.
Dan Pavilion is an important place among the important places in Dan City.
