Chapter 767 (1/2)

With the current progress, Ye Lang believed that his estimates were wrong. The time span was going to be much shorter than what he imagined, mainly because of Sha Lan.

Initially, Ye Lang estimated based on the Soaring Sky alchemists’ abilities, perhaps a little higher. However, Sha Lan’s abilities far exceeded these people.

One Sha Lan was enough to flip the script. If there were others, it could be worse.

Perhaps in just three to seven years, Soaring Sky would be able to manufacture alchemy weapons on a large scale. The sound wave weapon was just a taste of what’s to come.

Ye Lang had also forgotten that Zhao Yarou was also a mad alchemist, albeit a hidden one.

“Thirteenth master…”

“Ah, it’s him! It’s the thirteenth master!”

“Where? Where?”

When Ye Lang entered the ancient ruins, someone spotted him out of the corner of his eye. And just like that, the situation turned chaotic.

Many people dropped their work at hand and rushed towards him.

“??” Ye Lang was stunned for a moment but realised he might’ve seen these people before. They were the royal alchemists of Soaring Sky.

Ye Lang was well-respected amongst these alchemists. His arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention as everyone crowded around him.

These people wanted to ask him many questions. They were sure that Ye Lang could help them solve their problems.

“Hello everyone, it’s been a while!”

Ye Lang bowed and greeted them. This was one of the reasons why everyone loved him. He was polite to most people, which made them feel closer to him.

Even to Zhao Yarou, he could be considered as polite. He did not truly insult her. He only insulted people he really hated.

“Thirteenth master, when did you arrive?” asked someone.

“I just did, your empress invited me over here…” Ye Lang said with a smile, looking at Zhao Yarou. Zhao Yarou turned away as if she did not know anything.

“Thank you so much, Your Majesty. We’re having a headache now because there are so many problems we can’t solve.” These alchemists looked gratefully at Zhao Yarou, they did not realise anything.

They did not think about how Zhao Yarou got Ye Lang here. All they knew was that they could finally learn from Ye Lang.

Although Sha Lan was a lot better than them, she couldn’t teach nor solve their problems. This was the main difference between her and Ye Lang.

Ye Lang was unbelievably knowledgeable about everything, including obscure subjects. That was why he could answer most questions. If he did not know something, then almost no one else would.

“You don’t have to thank me. But I want to thank you all for your hard work, for your contributions to the empire!” said Zhao Yarou.

“It is only our duty!” said the alchemists immediately, quite surprised by the compliment.

“About these questions…” Ye Lang stopped himself. “I cannot answer you for the moment!”
