Xiao Xuan walked in from the entrance of the banquet hall.

His black robe swayed slightly with his steps, and his face remained expressionless.

Jia Xingtian was the first to react. He quickly stood up and his face was full of smiles. "Young Master Xiao has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu He stood up, followed by Fa Ma, Teng Shan, Yun Yun, and even Nalan Yanran.

Everyone in the banquet hall stood up, and all eyes were on Xiao Xuan, their eyes filled with a variety of emotions.

There is reverence, curiosity, and a desire to please.

Jia Xingtian strode up to Xiao Xuan. "Young Master Xiao, come, come, take a seat."

He turned to the side and gestured for him to enter. Xiao Xuan glanced at him but didn't say anything, and followed him into the banquet hall.

Jia Xingtian led him to the seat of honor and pulled out a chair.

"Young Master Xiao, please have a seat."

Xiao Xuan sat down.

Jia Xingtian sat down next to him, unable to stop smiling. Yao Ye and Yao Yue sat opposite him, Yao Yue's mouth slightly pursed but she didn't dare to say anything.

Gu He sat to Xiao Xuan's left, and Fa Ma sat to his right.

Both of them looked at Xiao Xuan with eager eyes.

Tengshan sat next to Fama, still holding the exquisite wooden box in his hand, preparing to give it to Xiao Xuan when the opportunity arose. Yunyun sat by the window, picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.

However, his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Xuan.

Nalan Yanran sat next to her, head down, not daring to look at Xiao Xuan.

Jia Xingtian stood up and raised his wine glass.

"Ladies and gentlemen." The banquet hall fell silent, and all eyes turned to him.

"I invited everyone here today to accompany a distinguished guest."

He glanced at Xiao Xuan and said, "Young Master Xiao, the youngest Dou Huang in the Jia Ma Empire, and also the highest-ranking alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire."

"Seventh-grade alchemist."

Jia Xingtian's voice echoed in the banquet hall, and Gu He's fingers tightened slightly.

He was the number one alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, a sixth-grade alchemist, a title he held for over a decade.

But now, Xiao Xuan has appeared.

A seventh-grade alchemist, one grade higher than him.

Gu He picked up his wine glass and took a sip, suppressing his emotions. Fama, on the other hand, didn't react much; he had known for a long time that Xiao Xuan was a seventh-grade alchemist.

Fujiyama is the same.

Jia Xingtian continued, "From now on, the royal family will have to rely on Young Master Xiao."

"If any of you need any help from Young Master Xiao, it depends on Young Master Xiao's wishes."

His words were very clever.

This both flattered Xiao Xuan and implied to everyone present that the relationship between the royal family and Xiao Xuan was extraordinary.

Gu He put down his wine glass and looked at Xiao Xuan.

"Young Master Xiao has achieved so much at such a young age; I admire him greatly."

Xiao Xuan glanced at him but didn't speak. Fama then spoke up, "I still vividly remember the Douhuang Pill that Young Master Xiao refined last time."

"A sixth-grade peak pill, the craftsmanship of which is beyond my reach."

Fujiyama nodded.

"President Fama is right. Young Master Xiao's alchemy skills are unmatched in the entire Gama Empire."

The three of them were all flattering Xiao Xuan, who held his wine glass with a blank expression.

He didn't respond to any of these words, and Jia Xingtian was secretly pleased to see this.

The colder Xiao Xuan was, the more it showed how difficult it was for Jia Xingtian to invite him.

Yao Yue sat opposite him, looking at Xiao Xuan's expressionless face, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"So many prominent figures are praising him, and he doesn't even say a word. That's too arrogant," Yao Yue muttered to herself.

But she didn't dare say it aloud and could only keep it to herself.

Xiao Xuan put down his wine glass, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally landing on Tengshan and Fama. "Clan Chief Tengshan, President Fama."

Fujiyama and Fama were both taken aback. This was the first time Xiao Xuan had called out to them on his own initiative.

Fujiyama quickly agreed.

"What are your orders, Young Master Xiao?"

Fama sat up straight. "Young Master Xiao, please speak."

Xiao Xuan took out a scroll from his storage ring and placed it on the table.

"This list contains some medicinal herbs. I would like to ask you two for help in finding them."
