The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2474 - 2463: The Elder with Strange Aura

The commotion in the Alchemy Square.Quickly caught the attention of many people within the headquarters of the Wus.

One after another, silhouettes rapidly appeared above the Alchemy Square.

Ye Chenfeng, who had successfully advanced to a Ninth Grade Alchemist, didn’t want to get involved in this turmoil. He took slow steps back, hiding his presence among the crowd.

Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu also approached Ye Chenfeng, their faces filled with disbelief.

Wu Qishui is actually an alchemy genius? His talent even surpasses everyone in the Wu family? How can this be possible?

Looking at Wu Qishui, who was enveloped in a purple glow, Wu Gui muttered to himself, "Wu Qishui possesses such alchemy talent? It’s impossible that it wasn’t detected in their branch. There’s definitely something strange about this."

Wu Lingyu’s brows were tightly knit; she also felt that this matter was quite unusual.

Wu Ren, who had somehow appeared beside Ye Chenfeng, glanced at him. Of course, he wasn’t suspecting that Ye Chenfeng caused this commotion, as the purple glow enveloped Wu Qishui. He was only constantly guessing in his mind whether Ye Chenfeng was an alchemist.

After all, Ye Chenfeng was the disciple of Wu Fengxian, the ancestor of the Wu family, and Wu Fengxian was a true supreme alchemist back in the day!

If Ye Chenfeng had been learning alchemy from Wu Fengxian, what rank would Ye Chenfeng be at now?

Finally, Wu Ren concluded that even if Ye Chenfeng had learned alchemy under Wu Fengxian, his rank wouldn’t be particularly high; at the very least, it shouldn’t exceed Seventh Rank, and it’s most likely below Seventh Rank.

After all, Ye Chenfeng’s aura was too young. Though he didn’t know Ye Chenfeng’s exact age, he knew Ye Chenfeng definitely wouldn’t be over five hundred years old.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes slightly narrowed as he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

A woman in a white silk garment, with a face both cool and beautiful, drifted down from the sky.

In just a few breaths, she was beside Wu Zhiming, smiling faintly at him and calling, "Ancestor Zhiming."

Faced with this woman in white, Wu Zhiming instantly displayed a kind expression.

This woman was none other than the proud daughter of the Wu family, Wu Lingxiang, whom Ye Chenfeng had first met.

Wu Lingxiang’s strength was at the Middle Stage of the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly God Realm, and now her strength had improved to the Middle Stage of the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly God Realm.

To have such strength at Wu Lingxiang’s age, it was definitely not an easy feat.

Of course, she couldn’t be compared to Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng was completely a cheat code in the cultivation world, repeatedly gaining various fortuitous encounters, with Old Bai and Old Hei accompanying his growth.

After Wu Lingxiang arrived beside Wu Zhiming, two more silhouettes quickly appeared at Wu Lingxiang’s side.

These two silhouettes.

One, a young man with a slight smile on his lips, had an aura at the Initial Stage of the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly God Realm. He was also a genius of the Wu family, named Wu Huaqing.

The other, slightly shorter young man had an aura at the Peak of the Third Layer of the Heavenly God Realm, and he was also a genius within the Wu family, named Wu Yanwen.

This was the official resource competition of the Six Great Hidden Sects, with each sect allowed to send three disciples, and Wu Lingxiang, Wu Huaqing, and Wu Yanwen were the representatives of the Wus in the competition.

As for the branch sect contest before the official competition of the Six Great Hidden Sects, it was merely an appetizer before the resource competition began.

Wu Huaqing and Wu Yanwen likewise greeted Wu Zhiming.

Wu Lingxiang, Wu Huaqing, and Wu Yanwen’s gazes focused on Wu Qishui, who was enveloped in a purple glow.

As the proud daughter of the Wu family.

After feeling Wu Lingxiang’s gaze, Wu Qishui kept swallowing hard, his body involuntarily a bit stiff.

Wu Qishui kept telling himself inside, "Wu Qishui, stay calm. Now you’re an alchemy genius, and an alchemy genius unmatched in the Wu family."

Wu Lingxiang and the others learned the course of events from Wu Zhiming, hearing that Wu Qishui had absorbed half the Profound Meaning beneath the Alchemy Square. That meant from now on, the entire Alchemy Square’s effectiveness would be halved, which was definitely not good news for the Wus.

But if Wu Qishui truly was an unprecedented alchemy genius, even if he couldn’t become a supreme alchemist in the future, as long as he could become a Ninth Grade Alchemist, the loss to the Wus could be tolerated.

Standing in the crowd, Wu Gui, after seeing Wu Lingxiang, patted Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder and whispered, "Brother, see that? That’s our Wu family’s proud daughter, Wu Lingxiang, the one my sister admires most."

Upon Wu Lingxiang’s appearance, Wu Lingyu’s gaze never wavered; her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.

As time slowly passed.

The purple glow enveloping Wu Qishui also began to dissipate.

This time, Wu Qishui got nothing out of it. The purple glow was merely a formality, and being engulfed by it wouldn’t bring any change to his body.

Shortly after the dispersal of the purple glow.

A shadow silently appeared beside Wu Zhiming, seen by no one.

This shadow was an old man.

He wore a cyan robe; his hair was completely white, but his complexion was quite ruddy, and his internal vitality was vigorous.

Ye Chenfeng, standing among the crowd, furrowed his brows. With Old Bai and Old Hei’s assistance, he could clearly feel that this elder’s strength was at the Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm, and even at a minor consummation peak.

This elder was named Wu Tianfu.

Also an ancestor of the Wu family headquarters, though his status was considerably higher than Wu Zhiming’s.

Within the Wu family, apart from the strongest Wu Chengyan, Wu Tianfu was next in line.

Wu Chengyan’s strength was currently at the great consummation peak of the Divine Venerable Realm.

Plus, Wu Chengyan was nearing the end of his lifespan and was continuously in a state of dormancy, rarely emerging.

Therefore, Wu Tianfu was the one responsible for the Wu family most of the time.

After Wu Tianfu’s appearance.

The disciples of the Wu family present, including Wu Lingxiang, all saluted Wu Tianfu respectfully.

At this moment.

Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, suddenly transmitted to Ye Chenfeng, "Little one, something’s off! There’s something strange about this old man."

"His aura is complicated, not only containing the unique vibe of our Wu family but also mixed with other unusual essences. It seems there actually is something amiss within the Wu family headquarters, and at the very least, this old man is definitely problematic."

Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fixed on Wu Tianfu, "So what should we do next?"

"Adapt to the situation and observe how things unfold," Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, replied.
