I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1431
1431 Small Pill Origin Meet
In a pavilion in the back garden of the imperial advisor’s residence.
The three of them sat facing each other. Chu Yunfan took a sip of wine and put down his glass. He looked at the two people in front of him with a faint smile.
One of them was someone he was familiar with— the president of Conglong’s Alchemist Guild, Kong Buyi. Beside him was an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. This old man was dressed in a luxurious robe and exuded a shrewd and capable aura.
“Master Chu, let me introduce you. This is the chief president of Great Wei’s Alchemist Association, Gongsun Wulong,” Kong Buyi broke the silence and introduced.
“So, it’s President Gongsun. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Chu Yunfan said as he cupped his hands.
As the chief president of Great Wei’s Alchemist Association, Gongsun Wulong was naturally considered a big shot at the peak of power throughout Great Wei. Moreover, Chu Yunfan could tell that Gongsun Wulong’s cultivation was not weak and was at the Void Core Stage. Although he was only at the fledgling Void Core Stage, he could be considered one of the top figures in the world in terms of strength.
Of course, in front of Chu Yunfan, it was nothing. Gongsun Wulong could only be considered one of the most powerful people in the world, while Chu Yunfan was the strongest in the world.
Chu Yunfan’s influence was even greater than the current emperor. Who would dare to underestimate his existence?
“Master Chu, you’re too polite.”
Gongsun Wulong looked at Chu Yunfan with emotion. When he first knew Chu Yunfan, it was because he has passed four alchemist test in one go and easily went from an apprentice alchemist to a senior alchemist. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t take the alchemy expert examination in Conglong, Chu Yunfan might have become an alchemy expert in one go.
At that time, Gongsun Wulong had sighed with emotion. Chu Yunfan was a genius in alchemy. In the next generation, it would be difficult to find a match for him. It was even very likely that he would become the next chief president of Great Wei’s Alchemist Society.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Chu Yunfan had already become one of the few martial arts experts in the world. Then, he began his counterattack and even successfully defeated Yun Huang, becoming the number one expert in the world.
This speed was so fast that it was dazzling. It had already happened before anyone could understand. Gongsun Wulong was considered a legendary figure in Great Wei, but compared to Chu Yunfan, he was insignificant.
“It’s a pity that you didn’t take the Alchemist Society’s assessment in the Imperial Capital, Master Chu. Otherwise, we would have been able to see an unprecedented person who advanced from a commoner to an alchemy expert in a single day,” Gongsun Wulong sighed and said that this was a regret in his heart.
After all, that would have been legendary. Judging from Chu Yunfan’s strength, this was definitely possible.
“Hahahaha, it doesn’t matter. It’s just a title.” Chu Yunfan shook his head. At first, he needed the identity of a senior alchemist, but now, he naturally didn’t have much of a need for it.
When Gongsun Wulong saw this, he felt a little pity. He knew that Chu Yunfan might not be interested in continuing to take the alchemy expert examination. Although he would become a legend and the youngest alchemy expert, it was clear that compared to Chu Yunfan’s current strength and reputation, it was nothing.
“May I know why you’ve come to me today, President Gongsun?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“The Alchemist Association’s headquarters will be holding the Small Pill Origin Meet. At that time, all the senior alchemists and alchemy experts from various Alchemist Associations will be attending,” Gongsun Wulong said as he looked at Chu Yunfan.
“Small Pill Origin Meet? What’s that?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“You should know by now that our association is spread all over the world. I’m only the president of the Great Wei’s branch, but above us, there’s still the main guild. Now, the main guild is going to hold a Small Pill Origin Meet. The purpose is to give all the alchemists a chance to interact with each other. Moreover, all the alchemists will take out medicinal herbs that they don’t need and trade them at the gathering. Many rare top-grade medicinal herbs will appear at the gathering,” Gongsun Wulong explained.
Chu Yunfan immediately understood. To put it bluntly, this Small Pill Origin Meet was a gathering organized by the Alchemist Association. However, the threshold of this gathering was very high. Only senior alchemists had the opportunity to participate.
What level of existence was a high-grade alchemist? Someone like Kong Buyi could oversee a large city and become the president of a city-level alchemist association, And this was only the minimum requirement for entering the Small Pill Origin Meet.
One could imagine how high the standards of this Small Pill Origin Meet were. In addition, many rare medicinal herbs could be exchanged at the gathering. This had a huge attraction to ordinary alchemists. And this Small Pill Origin Meet was a reflection of the legendary Pill Origin Gathering held by the gods and Buddhas.
“Although it was originally just a small gathering of Alchemists, as time passed, it has now spontaneously formed an extremely lively market. Many ordinary alchemists will travel thousands of miles to go there. In addition, there are some experts who want to sell or buy medicinal herbs,” Gongsun Wulong continued, “And Master Chu is a high-level alchemist registered our Great Wei, so we naturally have to inform about this gathering.”
Chu Yunfan looked at Gongsun Wulong with a faint smile and said, “President Gongsun, you aren’t the truth, are you? If it was just a small matter like this, you could have just sent someone to inform me. Why would two presidents come personally?”
Gongsun Wulong smiled bitterly and said, “As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Master Chu. In fact, the original purpose of the Small Pill Origin Meet was to give alchemists from all over the world a chance to interact with each other. But now, it has long been different. It has already become a place for alchemists from all over the world to spar with each other.
“Althought you’re not an alchemy expert on the register, I can tell that your strength isn’t inferior to that of one. If you’re willing to join forces with us, our ranking this time won’t be so awful.”
Gongsun Wulong saw that he couldn’t hide it from Chu Yunfan, so he immediately told the truth.
This was definitely not just a simple gathering. In fact, this included the open and secret struggles between the forces of various countries. It was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
