Chapter 2304: Friends of the Sub-Saint

"Master!"

"Hee hee, Master, we're here! Tsk tsk, I never thought I'd get to visit the number one sacred land of alchemy in my lifetime!"

Yun Yi saw Ye Yuan and respectfully paid his respects.

Ning Siyu, on the other hand, was much more lively, looking around everywhere and clicking her tongue in wonder.

To her, the Cloudheart Realm was a legendary place, to be admired from afar but not touched.

Yet today, she herself had entered the Cloudheart Realm to compete in alchemy with the prodigies of myriad domains.

This feeling was like a dream.

Such a grand event was an extremely rare training opportunity for any alchemist, and Ye Yuan naturally would not forget his disciples.

Yun Yi was extremely talented; under Ye Yuan's guidance, he had recently stepped into the Ancestor Realm.

Ning Siyu's strength was second only to Yun Yi's, and her foundation was even more solid than his; she had also reached the Great Perfection of the Dao Realm.

Seeing the two, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This Myriad Domains Alchemy Convention is full of strong competitors. You two must not be arrogant; you should learn with diligence."

"Yes, Master!" the two quickly replied.

Only after arriving at the Cloudheart Realm did Ye Yuan realize that the alchemy world truly harbored hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Not to mention others, the talents of Zhao Zixuan and his group were extremely rare in the world.

Their strength put many older-generation alchemy masters to shame.

Not only them, but among the various sacred lands, there were also quite a few young people at the Ancestor Realm.

As for the older generation of Ancestor Realm experts, there was no need to mention them.

Although they were insignificant compared to Ye Yuan, for Yun Yi and the others, this was definitely an unprecedented training experience.

Just then, another group entered the Cloudheart Realm.

Ye Yuan looked over and saw several Heavenly Emperors walking leisurely.

Behind them followed a few familiar faces: Alchemy Jade Heavenly Venerable and Fluttering Feather Heavenly Venerable, along with those reclusive alchemy families.

They had all come from the Southern Domain, so they arrived around the same time.

Alchemy Jade Heavenly Venerable saw Ye Yuan and Yun Yi, was momentarily stunned, and then his face darkened.

"Hmph! Unfilial son!"

Yun Yi looked awkward and had to remain silent.

Ye Yuan pretended not to hear and went up to greet Fluttering Feather Heavenly Venerable, smiling, "Brother Fluttering Feather, you've been well, I trust!"

As for the Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Emperor beside him, Ye Yuan directly ignored him.

He had never met Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Emperor, but since he came with Fluttering Feather, it could only be him.

Fluttering Feather Heavenly Venerable said with slight embarrassment, "Brother Ye, so you arrived early."

Ye Yuan nodded, "It's been a few days. Since Brother Fluttering Feather is here, why not stay on Feather Mountain? It will be convenient for us to exchange ideas."

Before Fluttering Feather Heavenly Venerable could speak, the Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Emperor beside him said displeasedly, "No need. We have our own place. Fluttering Feather, let's go."

"Master..." At that moment, Yun Yi suddenly spoke up.

His face showed slight embarrassment, and Ye Yuan knew what was going on at a glance.

This kid was still quite filial, wanting to find a better place for Alchemy Jade Heavenly Venerable.

But before Ye Yuan could speak, he heard Alchemy Jade snort, "No need! I am not so destitute as to need alms from this unfilial son!"

With that, he also sped away.

On the road, Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly, "This kid really doesn't know his place! Does he really think that becoming some Sub-Saint allows him to look down on us?"

Zhuoyun Heavenly Emperor sneered, "So what if he's a Sub-Saint? In front of powerful figures like the Medicine Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor High Priest, he's just a junior. Does he really think he's something? He has no idea how terrifying those experts are; why would they care about a junior like him?"

Zhuoyun Heavenly Emperor was the one Alchemy Jade Heavenly Venerable served.

He himself was an Eight-Star Divine Alchemist!

These two had gone to great lengths to obtain a qualification to enter the Cloudheart Realm.

After all, Fluttering Feather Heavenly Venerable and Alchemy Jade Heavenly Venerable were both Ancestor Realm experts, barely qualified to enter the Myriad Domains Alchemy Convention.

But seeing Ye Yuan as soon as they entered made them feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

This kid had cost them enormous benefits.

"Look at that smug look on his face, as if we couldn't survive in Cloudheart City without him!" Alchemy Jade sneered.

Once inside the city, the various Heavenly Emperors naturally dared not act recklessly.

They could throw their weight around in the Southern Domain, but here they had to keep their tails between their legs.

"Young friend, we come from the Southern Domain. Is there any accommodation arranged?" Zhuoyun Heavenly Emperor respectfully asked a Heavenly Venerable.

That Heavenly Venerable looked arrogant and didn't take these Heavenly Emperors seriously at all.

He saw too many rare Heavenly Emperors every day.

Those under the Medicine Ancestor had this pride.

The Heavenly Venerable led the group to a lodging. When the several Heavenly Emperors saw it, their expressions turned extremely ugly.

This lodging was a motley crowd, already housing many people.

Worse still, Heavenly Emperors were two to a room, and Heavenly Venerables... six to a room.

Whether it was Zhuoyun Heavenly Emperor, Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Emperor, or even Alchemy Jade Heavenly Venerable, each was a big shot who ruled a region. When had they ever lived in such shabby conditions?

Zhuoyun Heavenly Emperor's face was unpleasant as he said to the Heavenly Venerable, "Young friend, could you possibly give us a private room? Price is negotiable!"

That Heavenly Venerable sneered disdainfully, "Do you think anyone who can enter the Cloudheart Realm is short of money? This Myriad Domains Alchemy Convention is full of people like you trying to fish in troubled waters; it's already overcrowded! If you want to stay, stay; if not, get lost!"

Their faces instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

In this Cloudheart Realm, even a mere Heavenly Venerable dared to order them around without any respect.

It was infuriating!

But they had no outlet for their anger.

If they killed this Heavenly Venerable with a slap, they would be killed with a slap in return.

Helpless, they had to settle in for now.

Their quarters were extremely cramped, clearly partitioned temporarily.

Only here did Zhuoyun Heavenly Emperor and the others realize their own insignificance.

Other Heavenly Emperors were also squeezed into a narrow space, everywhere filled with foul air, completely unsuitable for cultivation.

Just then, a figure walked in slowly, his face imposing without anger.

His powerful aura instantly put everyone on edge.

That Heavenly Venerable's expression changed, and he said respectfully, "Lord Qingyu!"

Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Emperor and Zhuoyun Heavenly Emperor's expressions changed drastically; Qingyu's illustrious reputation was thunderous in their ears.

The two quickly bowed, "Greetings, Lord Qingyu!"

Qingyu nodded slightly, swept his gaze over the crowd, and said indifferently, "Who is Fluttering Feather, and who is Alchemy Jade?"

The two's hearts tightened, not knowing what was happening, but they still responded.

"I am Fluttering Feather."

"I am Alchemy Jade."

Qingyu said calmly, "You few, follow me."

They dared not disobey and had to follow.

Qingyu led them to a separate courtyard and said flatly, "You will stay here. Someone will arrange your daily needs."

They looked at each other, utterly bewildered.

They didn't know why they suddenly received such preferential treatment.

After all, the people coming and going here mostly had a strong aura, far surpassing theirs.

No need to ask, this was definitely a place for honored guests.

"Lord Qingyu, may I be so bold as to ask why we were suddenly given such a nice place?" Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Emperor said.

Qingyu said calmly, "Since you are friends of the Sub-Saint, naturally you cannot stay in shabby quarters."
