Ye Sizhu was clueless that Jiang Chen had come up with a bold idea because of her.
That idea could potentially change the world!
Jiang Chen subsequently changed his look as well as his name. He adopted the pseudonym Chen Xin again.
The two of them started touring the City in the Sky.
Ye Sizhu knew the city very well. She kept on introducing the city to Jiang Chen.
Soon, Jiang Chen began to acquaint himself with the kind of place the City in the Sky was.
It was a chamber of commerce!
The whole city was a commercial hub that could move around in the Green Field.
The flight restriction order in the Green Field had caused many inconveniences for people below the martial level.
Hence, the City in the Sky came into existence.
“It’s a godsend.”
After learning about this, Jiang Chen decided to refine elixirs to cure his injuries.
He had sustained acute injuries. Only healing elixirs of immortality would be effective.
Even though he was the lord of the Heavenly Palace and the vice leader of the Ling Long Celestial Palace, he did not have any of these elixirs with him.
This was because they proved extremely difficult to refine and could not be kept for long.
“Where can I get herbs for immortality?” Jiang Chen wondered.
A thought occurred to him as soon as he finished speaking. A bitter smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
He had aspired to refine elixirs well before the Heavenly Palace was established, and back then he used to gather herbs like this as well.
When the Heavenly Palace had been established, they had stocked a substantial amount of the treasured herbs.
As long as he needed any, they would be sent to him on demand.
Unfortunately, he had been driven away from the Boundless Continent.
“The City in the Sky is famous for herbs. We have immortal herbs, too.”
“Elder Brother Chen Xin, are you going to refine elixirs? It’s said in the book that you’ve never refined any elixirs since you became the leader,” Ye Sizhu said excitedly.
“The book again?” Jiang Chen shook his head. He wondered who on earth had written this book.
“Don’t worry about it, Elder Brother Chen Xin. The book isn’t selling at all. The author whose last name is Zhang has been cursed widely. People claim that his stories are fabricated, his writing lacks logic, and his style of writing is awful,” Ye Sizhu added.
“Now I’m starting to worry.”
Jiang Chen shook his head. It was ironic that a book about him did not sell well.
Ye Sizhu smiled and shifted the topic back to elixirs.
“Let’s go to the best Elixir Tower. That’s the only place that will satisfy you.”
Ye Sizhu then led Jiang Chen to the city center.
On their way, they met some guards from the city lord’s mansion on patrol duty. Ye Sizhu became fearful.
Then she recalled that she had disguised herself, and so regained her smile.
Casting a backward glance at Jiang Chen, she thought to herself, Here I am on an adventure with Jiang Chen. Perhaps I will appear in the books as well many years later.
Jiang Chen knew nothing of the young girl’s flights of fancy.
The best Elixir Tower Ye Sizhu had mentioned was in the city center, directly opposite the city lord’s mansion.
At the moment, many people had gathered outside the city lord’s mansion. They had come after receiving the news.
Jiang Chen and Ye Sizhu peered over at the mansion. They saw armored people shuffling in and out of the mansion all the time.
Ye Sizhu stuck her tongue out and flashed a mischievous smile.
Then she took Jiang Chen to a magnificent building.
This building was grand and opulent in every way, its gate guarded by two lions carved out of jade.
Two muscular Star Venerables were standing on either side of the gate.
An attractive woman stood at the gate, too, with a professional smile on her face.
“Please stop. Danqing Tower is only open to members.”
A guard barred Ye Sizhu from entering.
The woman at the gate looked over. Her smile remained the same, but her expression changed slightly upon noticing the duo’s attire.
Ye Sizhu was stupefied. She had never expected this.
It took her some time to realize that she was not Miss Ye for the time being and that her clothes were made of rough fabric.
Jiang Chen, trailing behind her, was dressed as usual. He did not look like a noble person, either.
Ye Sizhu did not know what to do.
“Please step aside if you don’t have any special dealings here,” the woman instructed.
Ye Sizhu frowned. She remembered that this elder sister had always been kind to her and was fond of her.
She had never imagined that the woman would behave as coldly as she was now.
“Don’t stand in the way. What kind of place do you think Danqing Tower is? Not everyone is welcome here.”
When Ye Sizhu was at a loss, insults echoed through the air.
Jiang Chen saw a group approaching. The group was made up of Yao Qing, Apprentice Elder Brother Meng, and their companions.
A tall man in blue among them spoke. He was not in a good mood because they had lost track of Jiang Chen.
He cast a glance at Ye Sizhu, and was about to swagger into the gate.
He stopped as a hand touched his shoulder.
At first, the blue-clothed man thought it was his companion. He turned around to find it was Jiang Chen in disguise.
“Apologize to my younger sister,” demanded Jiang Chen.
His indifferent tone sounded intimidating.
The blue-clothed man was taken aback. Then his temper flared.
“Enough.”
Yao Qing did not want any more trouble, so she stopped them, upset.
Apprentice Elder Brother Meng also agreed with her. “Zhang Ran, don’t get angry over a kid.”
But the blue-clothed man still refused to let go. He tried to calm down. After struggling to release himself from Jiang Chen’s grip, he shot Ye Sizhu a look.
“Little girl, you don’t belong in this kind of place.”
“I think so, too. I’m just expressing it differently.”
Then Zhang Ran strode forward into Danqing Tower.
Apprentice Elder Brother Meng smiled. He looked at Jiang Chen with a helpless shrug.
But Jiang Chen saw indifference and disdain underneath.
He was not the only one. All of his companions, including Yao Qing, thought alike.
None of them took Jiang Chen or Ye Sizhu seriously. They walked into Danqing Tower one after another.
In their eyes, both brother and sister were merely average people.
The staff of Danqing Tower saw everything, but none of them said anything.
Not until Jiang Chen strode over did the two guards stand to attention.
“Sir, please behave yourself.”
The woman at the gate thought he was going to make a fuss.
Yao Qing and the others had walked into the gate. They stopped and looked back.
“This is ridiculous.”
Zhang Ran’s brow was raised as he wondered what Jiang Chen would do.
“I’m going inside,” declared Jiang Chen.
“Only members or friends of members, such as Young Master Meng Shixiong, have access to Danqing Tower,” said the woman.
“I’m not your member, but I know there is an organization dealing in elixirs in this world. And they welcome a certain kind of people unconditionally,” countered Jiang Chen.
“Yes, the kind of people you mentioned are the noble alchemists…” The woman working for Danqing Tower did not deny it.
However, her eyes opened wide before she could even finish her sentence.
“I’m one of them.”
Jiang Chen laid open his palms, and an Alien Flame arose between his fingers. The shape of the flame kept changing.
The Alien Flame was closely associated with alchemists.
Although not everyone who possessed the Alien Flame was definitely an alchemist, a person like Jiang Chen who was able to control the Alien Flame at will was certainly one.
It was notable that since Yao Qing was around, Jiang Chen did not deploy the Genuine Fire of the Sun, with which he had killed her apprentice, Younger Brother Chu.
“I’m really sorry!”
The woman, who had always been arrogant to him, turned pale. Bowing down, she asked with reverence, “Master, what class of alchemists do you belong to?”
“The immortal.”
Jiang Chen had only uttered one word, and everyone was astounded.
