“Swoos.h.!.+”
A bolt of green lightning crackled in front of everyone and forcing them to close their eyes. They dared not open their eyes even after the thunder had subsided for a while. When they did, they noticed that the intense light around them had died down so that they could finally see Chen Fan standing in the wash of brightness.
“Are you Chen Beixuan?”
Lu Yanwu gaped at the shadowy green figure in disbelief.
Standing before her was a young man in a black outfit.
The young man’s dark and thick hair tumbled down to his shoulders, his eyes let out an azure light, and his skin was so pale and l.u.s.trous that it resembled a piece of illuminating Mutton Fat Jade. The most striking change in Chen Beixuan’s appearance was his facial features. Lu Yanwu reckoned that there were still parts of the boy that she knew a few months ago in this gorgeously put-together face. Not only was Chen Beixuan a head taller than he used to be, but he also looked far more handsome and charming. It was as if someone had designed his entire body with an obsession for perfection. He looked like the glorified image of the Sun G.o.d Apollo in Greek Mythology.
“Yes, it is me.” Chen Fan said lightly.
His voice didn’t change much, except for a hint of huskiness that soothed Lu Yanwu’s ears and nerves as the most beautiful music would.
“So you really are Chen Beixuan.” Lu Yanwu was stunned.
Chen Fan had changed into a new person in less than three months, transforming himself from a croaking frog to a das.h.i.+ng prince. Although from time to time, Lu Yanwu could register a faint otherworldliness in Chen Fan, for most of the time, she found Chen Fan’s looks mediocre at best. However, Chen Fan now looked like the embodiment of prince charming, making people believe that he should have belonged in the fairy tales.
“He had turned over a new leaf.”
Lu Yanwu thought to herself in amazement.
Chen Fan indeed had improved himself by leaps and bounds. Other than his Primordial Essence and the Jade Bones, everything under and including his skin had been reshaped and reinforced according to Azure Thearch Longevity Body. By then, he already had the Connate Body, and therefore, he could live over a hundred years even if he halted his cultivation altogether.
“Congratulations on reaching the G.o.d Reining State, Immortal Master.”
King of Elixirs cupped his fist and bowed reverentially.
The elders and alchemist who were attracted by the commotion gathered around Chen Fan and was stunned by the development. They dropped their knees before Chen Fan as the most fervent devotees would before their G.o.d.
“Congratulations, Immortal Master!”
Everyone around Lu Yanwu kowtowed to Chen Fan, leaving the girl standing among them awkwardly. She was not sure if she should follow the others and kowtow to Chen Fan.
The change came so fast that in her mind’s eye, she still saw Chen Fan as the Young Grandmaster. Although Chen Fan had proved his power by subjugating her entire family, it was still admirable for her to see that the group of Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect members wors.h.i.+p him like a G.o.d.
“Did he really reach the Immortal State?”
Lu Yanwu thought incredulously. She was born and raised in a Martial Artist family, but she was not a martial artist. She knew of the Immortal State, but she had no idea exactly what it meant.
“Immortal State?” Chen Fan crocked his head to a side and said: “No. I am not in the Immortal State yet.”
“Not Immortal State?” King of Elixirs was taken aback.
“No. But I should be able to hold up in a fight against an Immortal State cultivator.” Chen Fan stepped forward as the azure light in his eyes receded, revealing a pair of clear and innocent eyes.
Chen Fan’s voice was light and calm when he spoke of an Immortal State cultivator. It was as if he didn’t think an Immortal State cultivator was a big deal. The thought of Chen Fan’s power made King of Elixirs tremble all over again, so he knelt and kowtowed one more time.
He believed in Chen Fan’s power. Let it be the fire spilling out from his eyes, the flame that burned away the sky, or his elixirs that could cure even the deadliest poison in the world, everything about Chen Fan screamed loudly of his uncanny abilities. King of Elixr had a gut feeling that Chen Fan was not an ordinary mortal, instead, he was a cultivator who had long since surpa.s.sed the Transcendent State.
“Immortal Master, this woman claims to be your old friend. She had been waiting for you outside of the vault for over thirteen days.” King of Elixirs rose to his feet and reported.
“Oh? What brings you here?” Chen Fan’s gaze landed on Lu Yanwu.
Lu Yanwu held Chen Fan’s gaze, and right away, she s.h.i.+vered uncontrollably. Chen Fan’s eyes were two pools of the dark abyss; if she gazed too long into them, the abyss also gazed back into her”
After a while, she finally managed to gather herself, but anger quickly reclaimed her: “Chen Beixuan, Lei Qianjue had planted a Frigid Qi inside of my sister’s body because of you. She is getting closer to death every day, and they have already transferred her into an intensive care unit. She could die at any moment now.
“Didn’t you call yourself the Young Grandmaster? Didn’t you promise her a happy life? Go save her NOW!”
“Is that true?” Chen Fan furrowed his brows and looked to King of Elixirs.
King of Elixirs bowed and said: “Indeed it is. Three months ago, the Grandmaster of the Hong Sect, Lei Qianjue had returned back to China. He carried a Tripod Cauldron into the Lu family in an attempt to terrorize the Lu family. He also planted the Qi inside of a young lady as a punishment for siding with you. He had announced a challenge to you publicly and is currently waiting for your reply at the sh.o.r.e of the West Lake.”
“Since everything happened when you were still in seclusion, I didn’t dare to alert you. Neither did I dare to leave the entrance since I was afraid that someone else would disturb you during my absence. Our fire element elixirs were used up before the girl even got ill, so the only thing I thought I could do was to wait for you to come out of seclusion.” King of Elixirs paused a second and then apologized. “Immortal Master Chen, If I knew she is related to you, I would have gone straight to Lin City and saved her. I don’t think Lei Qianjue is so stupid as to clash against the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect.”
“No harm is done.” Chen Fan waved a hand.
After all, Lu Yanxue was just an acquaintance of him. King of Elixirs had done the right thing, ensuring Chen Fan’s cultivation in seclusion was the uttermost important task to him at this moment.
However, he wagered that if he had revealed his personal connection to the girl, King of Elixirs would have hurried to save the girl three months ago, leaving the entrance to the vault unguarded.
