The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2471 - 2460: Alchemy Plaza

In the dead of nightWu Zhiming, Wu Ren, and Wu Yuancài were standing at the entrance on the summit of Ascend Heaven Mountain.

Through the images floating in midair, they could clearly see Ye Chenfeng and the others’ every move.

Seeing on the projection that Ye Chenfeng’s face was pale, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, his steps shaky and unsteady, Wu Zhiming’s lips curved into a faint smile as he muttered inwardly, "Young people should taste some hardship, only then won’t they be overly arrogant. Being able to participate in the competition between the branches of the Six Great Hidden Sects is already your good fortune. I absolutely can’t let you get too full of yourself."

But when Wu Ren saw Ye Chenfeng’s appearance, his heart trembled slightly, and he even felt a bit of sympathy for Wu Zhiming. He had no idea that Ye Chenfeng was just putting on an act.

Ye Chenfeng was the disciple of their ancestor Wu Fengxian! Wu Fengxian would return to the Wus sooner or later, and Ye Chenfeng’s identity would also be revealed sooner or later. When that time came, within the Wus, aside from their ancestor Wu Fengxian, Ye Chenfeng’s status would be the highest.

Time ticked by, second by second.

The sun slowly rose from the east, shattering the darkness that had shrouded the land.

Wu Lingyu and the others hadn’t rested for an entire night, but they had finally climbed past half the height.

Wu Gui’s fat body was swaying as if it would topple at any moment. He felt as though his two legs no longer belonged to him, and he didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Wu Lingyu’s steps were also staggering. It felt like her legs had been filled with lead; even lifting a foot became extremely difficult.

On the surface, Ye Chenfeng looked exhausted as well, as if every step was hard to take, but inwardly he felt completely relaxed. It was all an act.

He deliberately made his lips look a bit dry and cracked. Keeping up this act for so long was too boring; he even felt drowsy. He really wanted this childish game to end quickly.

Wu Lingyu took out a blue bottle from her person, poured out three Elixir Pills, swallowed one herself, then handed the other two to Ye Chenfeng and Wu Gui, saying, "This is a First-Rank Restoration Pill. It can quickly restore strength. I refined it a few days ago, and just happened to have it on me."

Wu Lingyu was also an Alchemist, at Third-Rank.

After all, she still had to split her focus with cultivation; being able to become a Third-Rank Alchemist was already not bad. Moreover, this First-Rank Restoration Pill she refined actually had a ring of Pill Pattern on it—it was a true One-Pattern Pill.

After receiving the Restoration Pill, Wu Gui said, "Ling Yu, since you had Restoration Pills on you, why didn’t you take them out earlier? Were you trying to exhaust your dear brother to death? On Ascend Heaven Mountain the Spiritual Qi River is restricted and we can’t open our storage rings. All my Elixir Pills are in my storage ring. I thought yours were in your storage ring too."

Wu Gui couldn’t wait to pop the Restoration Pill into his mouth. The strength in his body rapidly recovered. Right now they were no different from ordinary people, so this Restoration Pill was more than enough to restore their strength, even bringing them back to their Peak.

Wu Lingyu said, "I only have three Restoration Pills on me. If we take them too early and use them up, what if the summit is still far away afterward? We have to wait until we’re at our limits before taking them."

After taking the Restoration Pill, Wu Lingyu’s complexion instantly recovered as well.

Ye Chenfeng looked at the Restoration Pill in his hand.

This Elixir Pill barely counted as passable. Though it was cruder than what Ye Chenfeng could refine, it was much better than what most Alchemists could make. He hadn’t expected Wu Lingyu to be an Alchemist.

Although the Wus were a holy land of Alchemy, it was impossible for everyone in the Wus to be an Alchemist.

In any case, swallowing a First-Rank Restoration Pill had no effect on Ye Chenfeng at all, so he casually tossed it into his mouth.

He could finally stop acting for a while.

After taking the Restoration Pill, he deliberately made his condition look a bit better.

Wu Lingyu said, "While we’ve got our strength back, let’s hurry and climb."

Wu Lingyu and the others suddenly sped up.

They soon caught up to Wu Qishui.

All of Wu Qishui’s Elixir Pills were in his storage ring, so he couldn’t take any at all. He looked like he could collapse at any time. When he saw Wu Lingyu and Ye Chenfeng easily overtake him, and that Wu Lingyu and Ye Chenfeng seemed to have recovered their strength...

This made Wu Qishui furious. Watching Wu Lingyu, Ye Chenfeng and the others pull farther and farther away, he wanted to chase but simply couldn’t, and he cursed aloud, "Cheating, you’re cheating, you shameless bastards!"

Faintly hearing Wu Qishui’s voice, Wu Gui laughed and cursed back, "It’s not like they said we couldn’t take Elixir Pills. Cheat my ass! I say he’s just jealous and resentful."

After taking the Restoration Pill,

Ye Chenfeng and the others went all out and sped up.

Another day passed.

Once the strength restored by the Restoration Pill was exhausted again, Wu Lingyu and Wu Gui turned out of breath and looked utterly miserable once more.

And Ye Chenfeng could only keep acting again.

However, the entrance to the summit was already right in front of them.

One last push.

Wu Lingyu and the others finally charged onto the summit.

Upon reaching the summit, all the restrictions on their bodies completely dissipated.

Once the Spiritual Qi River in their Meridians recovered, Wu Lingyu and Wu Gui hurriedly circulated their Spiritual Qi River, and their condition instantly bounced back.

Of course, Ye Chenfeng also pretended to circulate his Spiritual Qi River a bit, feigning a recovery.

He could finally drop the act.

Ye Chenfeng immediately felt a wave of relief.

Suddenly, Wu Zhiming’s voice transmission rang in his mind: "Kid, you’ve still got a lot of areas you need to work on! Once you step into the Wus’ headquarters, you’ll realize just how insignificant you are. Among the younger generation at the Wus’ headquarters, even the weakest combat strength is far above yours."

After Ye Chenfeng and the others reached the summit,

Wu Zhiming said to Wu Yuancài, "Go bring that disciple from your branch straight up."

Hearing this,

Wu Yuancài immediately stepped into the air and went down the mountain. In just a short while, he brought the utterly exhausted Wu Qishui, who looked like a dead dog, up to the summit.

After arriving at the summit,

with all the various restrictions gone, Wu Qishui quickly recovered as well. Just as he was about to once again accuse Ye Chenfeng and the others of cheating...

Wu Zhiming directly said, "Everyone’s here. Follow me."

Hearing the solemn tone in Wu Zhiming’s voice, Wu Qishui immediately didn’t dare say another word.

The group followed behind Wu Zhiming.

They quickly arrived at a vast plaza.

On the plaza stood row upon row of Medicine Cauldrons, numbering in the hundreds.

In front of each Medicine Cauldron stood a cultivator, constantly controlling the flames inside. They should be refining Elixir Pills, right?

Wu Zhiming casually explained, "This is the Wus’ Alchemy Plaza. Anyone who has stepped onto the path of Alchemy and is below Fifth-Rank must come here every morning to refine Elixir Pills."
