After arriving at the Alchemy Conference, all the cultivators behaved themselves, and no one dared to cause trouble in the Alchemy Guild.
When it was time to sleep that night, everyone lay obediently on their beds, discussing who would win the championship.
This time, there are two favorites to win the championship. One is a cultivator named Lu Yifeng. It is said that Lu Yifeng's grandfather was also an alchemist, and a rather skilled one at that.
Therefore, Lu Yifeng is the most popular choice for the championship.
The other one is a cultivator named Zhang Fangyi, who is said to be an outstanding disciple of a certain alchemy sect and has a very high level of alchemy skills.
"Who do you think will win the championship?" Monk A asked.
Monk B said, "I don't know. Both of them have a chance to win the championship, because they are evenly matched."
"I think Lu Yifeng has a better chance of winning the championship because his grandfather is an alchemist, and he is very skilled."
"I think Zhang Fangyi has the ability to win the championship. After all, he is a genius contestant from the alchemy school."
Those who support Lu Yifeng say he will win the championship, while those who support Zhang Fangyi say he will win the championship.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't care who won the championship, because it had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to watch the excitement.
"Have you heard? It's said that Jade Cloud Pavilion recently took in a genius girl. Do you know that?" One of the cultivators immediately changed the subject.
Upon hearing the words "Jade Cloud Pavilion," Liu Xiaoyuan immediately perked up. Wasn't Yang Zihan captured by cultivators from the Jade Cloud Pavilion? Could they be talking about Yang Zihan?
So Liu Xiaoyuan immediately perked up his ears to listen and see what they would talk about.
"I know about this. I heard that the new disciple of Jade Cloud Pavilion has a pure water spiritual root and first-class cultivation talent. She is a genius among geniuses. The Pavilion Master of Jade Cloud Pavilion said that given time, this female disciple's cultivation will surpass hers, and at that time, the position of Pavilion Master of Jade Cloud Pavilion will be passed on to her."
Upon hearing the words "pure water spiritual root," Liu Xiaoyuan was certain that the girl they were talking about was Yang Zihan.
"A pure water spiritual root! Wow, that's the best spiritual root for cultivators, bar none. Jade Cloud Pavilion has really prospered this time. Given time, with such a genius in Jade Cloud Pavilion, it will soon surpass some other sects."
"Do you think the genius girl from Jade Cloud Pavilion has come to participate in this alchemy competition?" one of the cultivators asked.
"You're kidding. Yuxiao Pavilion would not have sent her to participate in this alchemy competition. Right now, Yuxiao Pavilion will only let her seize the time to cultivate. People with pure water spiritual roots can cultivate at a speed that we simply cannot match."
"I've heard that Jade Cloud Pavilion has sent someone this time. It's said that this disciple is a cultivator with a fire-type spiritual root and is also a great beauty. I think her name is Feng Yi."
"We have no hope for that cultivator with the pure water spiritual root from Jade Cloud Pavilion, but if we can win over this one named Feng Yi, that would be a good option."
As these cultivators chatted, the conversation drifted to women, and lewd remarks came one after another.
Liu Xiaoyuan was lost in thought.
Through the conversation between these cultivators, Liu Xiaoyuan learned some information about the Jade Cloud Pavilion and also about Yang Zihan.
From their conversation, we can learn that after Yang Zihan entered the Jade Cloud Pavilion, she received unprecedented attention from the Jade Cloud Pavilion because the Pure Water Spiritual Root is extremely rare. Once encountered, it will definitely be treated like a national treasure.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan is not worried about Yang Zihan's safety at all. Yang Zihan must be living a very comfortable life in Yuxiao Pavilion.
Moreover, if things continue like this, Yang Zihan's cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and she might surpass me in no time.
There's nothing we can do; cultivators with pure water spiritual roots are just too extraordinary.
Lying in bed, Liu Xiaoyuan thought that he would find an opportunity to get in touch with Feng Yi, the woman from Yuxiao Pavilion, and see if he could get any information about Yang Zihan from her.
After making up his mind, Liu Xiaoyuan got out of bed, intending to go and visit the female cultivator.
"Brother, what are you doing so late?" Liu Xiaoyuan sat up in bed, and the cultivator next to him immediately asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "While listening to you guys talk about this woman in the room, I got aroused and decided to go outside for a walk to see if I could run into a girl."
"Brother, be careful and don't wander around. The Alchemy Guild is not like other places. If you go to the wrong place, we might kick you out!"
"Thanks for the reminder, brother," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
So, Liu Xiaoyuan walked out of the dormitory and came outside. The night air was exceptionally fresh, giving him a refreshing feeling.
Especially at night, the Alchemy Guild is filled with the aroma of herbs, which is even stronger than during the day and is intoxicating.
Having learned about the layout of the Alchemy Guild this afternoon, Liu Xiaoyuan already knows where the girl lives.
Liu Xiaoyuan walked towards the girl's residence, but halfway there, he suddenly heard a noise and saw two people walking towards him.
Out of curiosity, and also to keep himself a secret, Liu Xiaoyuan found a place to hide. There happened to be a big tree there, so Liu Xiaoyuan immediately jumped up into the tree to conceal his presence and prevent the other party from discovering his existence.
Hiding in the big tree, Liu Xiaoyuan seemed to blend into the darkness, and no one could detect his presence.
Liu Xiaoyuan, who was hiding in the tree, thought that the two men would leave immediately, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. Instead, they started talking under the big tree.
"Yifeng, are you confident of winning the championship this time?" an old man's voice rang out.
The young man named Yifeng said, "Grandpa, I'm confident that Zhang Fangyi's skills are on par with mine. With the alchemy furnace you gave me this time, I'm absolutely confident that I can defeat Zhang Fangyi."
Hearing the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately knew their identities. This man named Yifeng should be Lu Yifeng, whom everyone was talking about. His grandfather was also an alchemist, and it was said that he was a fifth-grade alchemist.
Alchemists are also divided into ranks, from first rank to ninth rank, with first rank being the lowest and ninth rank being the highest.
Lu Yifeng's grandfather was a fifth-grade alchemist, which proves that he was a very remarkable alchemist.
"Grandpa, I heard that Jade Cloud Pavilion has recently accepted a genius disciple with a pure water spiritual root. Is that true?" Lu Yifeng changed the subject and immediately shifted the topic to Jade Cloud Pavilion.
Upon hearing the words "Jade Cloud Pavilion" while hiding in the tree, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately became alert, especially since the other party had also mentioned Yang Zihan.
