From the chaotic sea of ​​stars, it began to wreak havoc on all the heavens.

Chapter 145 The Bizarre Engagement Banquet
Originally, Nalan Yanran should have been accepted into the Yunlan Sect half a year ago.

But after learning that the Xiao family had gotten involved with Qin Sheng, a sixth-grade alchemist at the Douhuang level.

They held back for the time being.

After half a year, they learned that Xiao Yan had recovered to the ninth level of Dou Qi and that his talent was even greater than before.

He and his father, Nalan Jie, finally decided to proceed with the marriage between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan.

Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, will definitely come at that time.

Having Nalan Yanran become Yun Yun's disciple would be killing two birds with one stone.

The Yunlan Sect would likely be very happy to befriend Qin Sheng.

"Mm," Qin Sheng responded softly, which was taken as an agreement.

He then waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

After the three left, Qin Sheng was the only one left in the hall.

The old alchemist transformed into a streak of white light, revealing himself from the pitch-black ring. "Tsk tsk, these people practically represent the entire elite class of the Gama Empire. With their help in collecting medicinal herbs, you won't have to worry about anything until you can refine a seventh-grade pill. Why didn't I do what you did before? Find a country that isn't very powerful and have them help you collect medicinal materials to improve your alchemy skills. That way, you might have avoided many detours."

"That's because you can't let go of that so-called dignity of alchemists," Qin Sheng said, rolling his eyes at him.

"You're right, I was indeed a bit arrogant in the past."

This time, the old doctor surprisingly admitted his shortcomings.

"What, has this been changed?" Qin Sheng asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's not that I've changed my nature, but rather that these past six months by your side have taught me a lot. In alchemy, I can be considered your teacher, but in the art of survival, you are my teacher. If I had been as cautious as you back then, I wouldn't be in this predicament today."

The old apothecary sighed, then asked, "Now, apart from the Breakthrough Pill which doesn't have all the necessary ingredients, you can basically refine all the pills below the seventh rank. When do you plan to go looking for the Strange Flame?"

"Let's wait until after Xiao Yan's engagement banquet. While I'm searching for spiritual herbs, you can stay by Xiao Yan's side and guide him for a while. With the Spirit Fusion Pill I refined for you before, you shouldn't need to worry about falling into a deep sleep anymore, unless you encounter a battle at the Dou Zong level," Qin Sheng said.

The old apothecary nodded. "To be honest, I never expected that you could cultivate a large batch of medicinal herbs for refining sixth-grade pills from seeds alone. You know, the higher the grade of the medicinal herb, the more demanding its growing conditions are. Could it be that you can also refine spiritual liquids to increase the age of medicinal herbs?"

"How are you able to refine it?"

This time, it was Qin Sheng's turn to be surprised.

The old herbalist nodded. "I once studied it, but the cost of cultivating a single herb is dozens of times that of the herb itself. After realizing it was a waste of resources, I gave up."

"Then give it to me. I'm quite interested in this," Qin Sheng said without hesitation.

"Sure, but only if you hand over the method of cultivating medicinal herbs to me for research." The old medicine master revealed a cunning smile.

"So you were waiting for me here. Fine, but I only found a treasure trove. It allows medicinal herbs to grow at a speed hundreds of times faster."

Qin Sheng chuckled. Currently, the rate at which the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes are being developed is approximately fifty to sixty times faster.

Some medicinal herbs with ice and fire properties can be up to a hundred times stronger.

However, the medicinal herbs in the Dou Qi Continent tend to be fire-attribute. This is why Qin Sheng was able to refine sixth-grade pills like the Royal Extreme Pill and the Spirit Fusion Pill in the Jia Ma Empire, a place that is considered a desolate place in the Dou Qi Continent.

"A growth rate of hundreds of times, wow. You've got a huge treasure trove in your hands. If the families and alchemists in Zhongzhou found out, they would definitely arrest you, force you to reveal the location, and then take it for themselves."

The old doctor was quite surprised.

"As long as you don't tell them, isn't that all that matters?"

Qin Sheng didn't care about the Dao.

"You trust me that much?"

Upon hearing this, the old doctor remained silent for a while before speaking.

“Of course, since I’m dead, you can forget about being resurrected,” Qin Sheng said.

These words made the old medicine master, who had just been deeply moved, so angry that he wanted to curse. "Here you go, take it. If you want to cultivate medicinal herbs, go find the materials and mix them yourself. Don't bother me again unless it's absolutely necessary."

As he spoke, Yao Lao tossed out a phantom scroll, then, still grumbling, transformed back into a streak of white light and disappeared into his storage ring. Qin Sheng ignored Yao Lao's complaints. He simply took the phantom scroll and began to examine it.

It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't seen it, but once I did, I was quite taken aback.

This spiritual liquid is called the Nourishing Essence Spiritual Liquid. Although it is not of high grade, it is only a fifth-grade pill.

However, the required materials are truly excessive. Five magic cores of the sixth rank or higher with different attributes—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are needed.

Combined with a variety of rare and precious natural materials.

Only then can it be refined.

And that's the effect.

Each bottle can enhance the cooking process by a thousand years.

This is basically a budget version of Han Li's Heavenly Bottle Green Liquid.

Time quickly came to the day of Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's engagement.

The Xiao family was quite lively today, with many people from the Nalan family also present.

Other groups also came to offer their congratulations, making it a truly massive gathering.

"Galebi, the patriarch of the Galley family, has arrived."

“Obapa, the patriarch of the Oba family, has arrived.”

The first to arrive were naturally the other two families, who, along with the Xiao family, were among the three major families of Wutan City.

These people naturally didn't arrive empty-handed; in addition to bringing congratulatory gifts, they also brought the markets of both families.

There's nothing we can do; the Xiao family has now latched onto Qin Sheng, this powerful figure.

"Nephew, congratulations on your engagement to Miss Nalan! It's a joyous occasion!" Jia Liebi and Aobapa said with fawning and ingratiating expressions.

At the same time, there was a barely perceptible soreness in his eyes.

At this moment, both families have made a decision to move out of Wutan City after Xiao Yan's engagement banquet.

The Xiao family is currently at the height of its power, and more than half a year ago, many of their high-ranking members went missing.

If you want to leave with dignity, you have to leave on your own.

To avoid losing both dignity and bringing utter disaster upon the family.

"Please have a seat here."

Xiao Yan arranged for them to sit in the Xiao Family Square.

There's no way around it; almost all the important figures in the entire Gama Empire will be here today.

We can't let these two Grand Masters sit at the same table as those Battle Spirits, Battle Kings, or even Battle Emperors.

Those below the Dou Ling level can only be arranged to attend a banquet at the Xiao Family Square.

He was naturally aware of the grudges between these two families and the Xiao family, but today was his engagement banquet, and he couldn't very well slap a smiling face.

Otherwise, it would be a slap in one's own face.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

In his previous life, he was just a lowly servant in society who struggled to even find a wife.

It's amazing that he was able to get married so quickly.

It's incredible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at a girl who was playing with Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu in Xiao Family Square.
