Chapter 2025: Not Treating Oneself as an Outsider

"My lord, someone just delivered an invitation, saying it's for you to open personally." Ning Siyu handed an invitation to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan opened it and frowned.

Ning Siyu, also curious, leaned in to look and found it was an invitation to an alchemy gathering.

"My lord, these are all Heavenly Sovereigns, Seven-Star Divine Alchemists! Tsk tsk, a grandmaster is a grandmaster—the treatment is indeed different." Ning Siyu laughed.

Ye Yuan chuckled at her words: "Grandmaster? Hmph, I'm afraid the drinker's heart is not in the cup?"

Ning Siyu was taken aback, then quickly caught on.

In her mind, Ye Yuan was on the same level as these Seven-Star Divine Alchemists, so her first reaction to the invitation was that Ye Yuan was impressive.

But with a little thought, she realized something was off.

She might think so, but they didn't!

Would those Heavenly Sovereigns think highly of a Six-Star Divine Alchemist like Ye Yuan?

"In that case, shall we not go?" Ning Siyu said.

Ye Yuan smiled: "Go, why not? Those who become Seven-Star Divine Alchemists must have their merits. So why not exchange ideas with them?"

Ye Yuan had agreed to come to the Cloud Alchemy Convention precisely for these Seven-Star Divine Alchemists.

At the level of a Seven-Star Divine Alchemist, every one of them was not to be underestimated.

Ye Yuan never doubted his own alchemy talent, but he was never arrogant either.

Back in Yungao City, he had fought thousands of battles, not to deliberately show off his talent, but to learn from others' strengths.

And after that, he indeed learned a great deal from others, and his alchemy skills advanced by leaps and bounds.

This time in Cloud Dan Imperial Capital, his purpose was the same.

As for Luo Yue and his ilk, they were utterly insignificant in Ye Yuan's eyes, so he naturally couldn't be bothered to act.

What was the point of having a Heavenly Emperor-level expert discuss martial arts with a Divine God-level martial artist?

To converse with Ye Yuan on equal footing, one would at least need to be at the mid-stage of the Dao Realm.

Ning Siyu hesitated, saying, "But these people clearly have ill intentions!"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "To embarrass me, they'd need at least Brother Piaoyu's strength. They're not qualified."

Beside him, Ning Siyu looked at him with an adoring expression.

This kind of calm confidence seemed understated, but its power was built on countless victories.

This aura was even more formidable than one that looked down on the world!

And such a man naturally attracted women even more.

But Ning Siyu had long since given up that thought; she knew the attachment in the master's heart.

Now, Ning Siyu was already very satisfied. As long as she could stay by the master's side like this, she was content.

...

"Stop! The Qian Dan Tower is a vital site of the Cloud Dan Emperor. Idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Ye Yuan arrived at a towering pavilion following the address, and was immediately stopped by a True God Ninth Heaven powerhouse, whose words were full of warning.

A True God Third Heaven daring to come here—was he out of his mind?

Ye Yuan took out the invitation and said calmly, "The invitation sent to me by Flowing Radiance Heavenly Lord says this place. It should be correct, shouldn't it?"

Seeing the invitation, the True God Ninth Heaven's expression changed, and he looked at Ye Yuan with a suspicious gaze.

Why would Flowing Radiance Heavenly Lord invite a True God Realm cultivator?

Opening the invitation to look, the True God Ninth Heaven's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "You... no... Milord, you are Grandmaster Ye Yuan?"

"If there's no second Ye Yuan, then it should be me." Ye Yuan took out his Grandmaster token, and the other's face instantly turned extremely awkward.

He quickly returned the invitation to Ye Yuan, saying fearfully, "Please don't blame me, sir. I... I truly didn't recognize you!"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "May I enter now?"

The True God Ninth Heaven squeezed out a smile uglier than crying and said, "Of... of course!"

Watching Ye Yuan's retreating figure, he felt like crying.

This Ye Yuan was far too deceptive, a complete pitfall.

At this time, there were no less than eight thousand True God realm warriors in Yundan Emperor Capital, and who would have thought one of them was a Grandmaster!

Entering the Qian Dan Tower, Ye Yuan directly stepped into a teleportation array and entered a space.

There were already over a dozen people in the space, gathered together as if discussing something.

These people all exuded extremely powerful auras; they were all Heavenly Sovereign experts!

Seeing Ye Yuan enter, the group of Heavenly Sovereigns immediately stopped their discussion and turned their gazes in unison toward Ye Yuan.

Hum!

A wave of powerful momentum rushed toward him. Over a dozen Heavenly Sovereign experts, even without releasing their Heavenly Sovereign pressure, the sheer momentum was not something a mere True God realm could withstand.

Among them, several gazes were particularly hostile.

"A mere True God realm dares to trespass into the Qian Dan Tower? Are you tired of living?" A Heavenly Sovereign stepped forward, his powerful momentum crushing toward Ye Yuan.

This person was none other than Zheng Qiyuan.

He naturally knew that the person before him was Ye Yuan, and he deliberately tried to intimidate him, hoping to see Ye Yuan scared out of his wits.

However, he was disappointed.

Ye Yuan stood there lazily, as if nothing had happened.

Ridiculous. The Heavenly Sovereign realm was powerful, but relying on mere Heavenly Sovereign pressure to frighten Ye Yuan—Zheng Qiyuan had clearly overthought it.

Ye Yuan ignored Zheng Qiyuan entirely, swept his gaze over everyone, and said calmly, "Which one of you is Brother Liuming? I am Ye Yuan."

Seeing Ye Yuan's composed demeanor, the Heavenly Sovereigns were secretly astonished.

Not to mention a True God Third Heaven, even a True God Ninth Heaven would not dare to breathe loudly here!

Moreover, Zheng Qiyuan had released his Heavenly Sovereign pressure.

Yet Ye Yuan was completely unaffected.

This kid was no ordinary!

That was the first impression Ye Yuan gave everyone.

Zheng Qiyuan stood there, utterly embarrassed, as if he were making a fool of himself.

In the middle, a middle-aged man with sword-like brows and sharp eyes smiled and said, "Heh, so it's Grandmaster Ye! We were just discussing an ancient formula and were at a loss. Now that Grandmaster Ye is here, you can give us some guidance."

As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward, took Ye Yuan's arm, and brought him into the group.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Guidance? I wouldn't dare. Let's discuss it together."

This attitude made many Heavenly Sovereigns frown.

His demeanor suggested he considered himself on equal footing with the Heavenly Sovereigns.

Did this kid not know his own weight? Did he really think he was a Grandmaster?

Zheng Qiyuan, having just been humiliated and with a belly full of anger, sneered at this, "Hah, what big talk! You're merely a True God Third Heaven; who knows if you can even refine sixth-grade divine pills, yet you dare to discuss a Seven-Star ancient formula?"

Calling Ye Yuan here had been his idea.

They were indeed discussing an ancient formula, but it was not simple, and they were currently at a dead end.

Yet Ye Yuan came in and started showing off, acting as if he were one of them!
