Chapter 186 Yellow Stone City
Chapter 186 Yellow Stone City
"Young master Chen, who is that senior?", Li Yan asked. She had seen many seniors of fifth stage and few cultivators who were at sixth stage but this was the first time she felt such awe towards a cultivator.
"He is a quashi emperor expert", Zhan Chen replied. He didn't reveal the identity of Lu clan grand elder but the mere mention of the word 'quashi emperor' left the three girls awestruck. All three of them were sensible enough to not inquiry the matter involving a quashi emperor.
Zhan Chen also felt a sense of urgency after seeing Lu Huan. The people he was involved with going increasily difficult to deal with. First it was fifth stage experts, then he came in contact with the sixth stage experts. And now a quashi emperor had come to meet him.
"I need to increase my cultivation urgently. And to achieve that I need partners", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
After travelling for another day, a tall city wall came to the view of Zhan Chen's group. The city wall was made up of yellow stones. Thus, the name of the city came to be known as Yellow stone city.
"It is the border city of Earth province. After crossing over it, we will enter the true centre of the Northern desert continent, the Dragon province", Zhan Chen spoke.
They had to leave the magical beasts at city gate and that was a true headache for Zhan Chen. Because he had a stubborn panthress with him. It took a while for him to persuade it and the shadow panther led the other three fourth tier beasts to distance.
"It is not a problem to concoct a pill for her. I hope I can control her stubborn nature with the allure of pills", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
"Girls, please tell me if you need something. You don't have to worry about the money", Zhan Chen spoke. Kai Min shook her head as didn't feel it right to impose on Zhan Chen. But Li Shu was not resrved and so, she took the offer of Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the stubborn nature of Li Yan and Kai Min. Li Shu was as adorable as always as she didn't have much reservation towards him.
"Let's first look for a inn. I am planning take an alchemist batch in this city. It will help us in getting the pill ingredients faster and cheap", Zhan Chen spoke.
"The grandmasters are in for a surprise", Li Yan thought to herself after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.
They chose a good inn to stay and book four rooms at the top floor of it. After washing themselves and resting a bit, all of them went to look for the Alchemy association of Yellow stone city.
It was not that hard to find the branch headquarter of Alchemy association as almost everyone in the city were aware of its location. Zhan Chen only had to ask few cultivators before reaching the branch headquarter of the Alchemy association.
Scores of people were going in and out of the Alchemy association and none of them looked poor. A luxurious looking gate was placed before the branch headquarter and "Alchemy association" was written over it in golden caligraphy.
The branch headquarter was made up of white stones and it's interior was even more amazing than its outside. "Alchemists are really made up of money", Kai Min murmured to herself. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the envy in her eyes.
"You should not put this much luxury in your eyes. You are my woman. Even hundreds of this kind of headquarter will be built if you are willing to live in luxury", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile to her.
Kai Min's cheeks reddened after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. She looked around in embarassment to check if anybody heard their conversation.
Li Yan laughed softly after seeing the embarassed look on the face of Kai Min. Zhan Chen was nonchalant as it was a common thing for his women to have riches and luxury. Afterall they were the queens of Zhan dynasty.
"Tsk! Tsk, beauties are being fooled by a braggart. I wonder how much he has got to speak such lofty words", a good looking young man spoke to his companions. He was holding a wooden fan on his hand and accompained by four other youngsters.
"Beauties, you should give up on that braggart. He can't compare to young master Su when it comes to reaches", one of the companion of the good looking young man spoke.
Zhan Chen didn't mind their words as he always ignored such naive and foolish looking young masters. Li Shu turned to speak something but Li Yan held her hand to stop her. They followed Zhan Chen as he proceeded towards the attendant in charge of ground floor.
"Young master, welcome to the branch headquarter of Alchemy association. I wonder what brings you here?", the beautiful attendant looked towards Zhan Chen.
"I want to appear in the test for pill grandmaster", Zhan Chen spoke.
"A pill grandmaster!", the five young man who were following behind the group of Zhan Chen were taken aback for a moment.
A moment of silence followed and all of them erupted into a chorous laughter. "This braggart is really funny. He seems to be of our age and yet, he is claiming to attend the test of Alchemy grandmaster!", they poked fun at Zhan Chen.
"Young master, do you have the identification token of a pill master?", the beautiful attendant looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shook his head as he had never ever attained the test of Alchemy association.
"Then, I am sorry. I can't arrange the test for you. You must have a recommendation letter to attain the rest of pill grandmaster", the beautiful attendant spoke.
"See, don't I have told you that he is a braggart! Look at his pathetic appearance now", the leader of the five young men spoke. But he didn't know that someone has already taken action. The action of Kai Min was extremely first. Before anyone could react she had already placed her sword on the neck of the good looking young man.
"Enough.You are not allowed to insult him any more", Kai Min spoke angrily.
"Miss, you are not allowed to use your weapon in the premises of Alchemy association. If you don't restraint yourself, then we will have to throw you out", the beautiful looking attendant warned Kai Min.
Zhan Chen frowned after seeing the indignant look on Kai Min's face. He could ignore insult to him but it was another matter to rile up his women.
"Kai Min, restraint your anger. It an insult to you if you get angry over such frolicking ants", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Braggart, who are you saying ants?", the group of five young men snapped at Zhan Chen. But Zhan Chen gave them a stare and cold sweat poured out of their foreheads. They felt trepidation in their hearts and choose to leave the Alchemy association silently without causing a ruckus.
"Miss, I wonder if this thing is enough to arrange a test for me", Zhan Chen spoke after placing a square shaped token infront of the attendant.
