"Brother, this..."
Wang Xiaoting thought Ye Chen had made the wrong elixir.
Ye Chen looked at Wang Xiaoting and cursed him in his heart, calling him an idiot. The black pill he made before was the first time he made it, and it might very well kill someone.
What he had now was a normal pill, but he didn't recognize it.
"Uh! This is my latest research, and it's better than the previous ones."
Ye Chen could only continue to deceive.
The effect is really good. His pills are all made with the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dao Pearl. There is no doubt that it can improve one's talent and cultivation.
After hearing what Ye Chen said, Wang Xiaoting's face immediately broke into an extremely bright smile, and his eyes were filled with tears of gratitude.
"Brother, you are so kind to me! I knew that following you would be the right thing to do. You always give me the best."
As he spoke, his eyes even became moist: "Brother, from now on, I, Wang Xiaodie, will go through fire and water for you, no matter what!"
"Alright, alright, stop showing your loyalty here and go back to test the effects of the pill."
Ye Chen waved his hands, feeling a little uncomfortable with his appearance.
"Alright, big brother, I'll go right away and let those useless guys have a try too!"
Wang Xiaoting nodded repeatedly, took the pill and quickly went to share it with his younger brothers.
Ye Chen came downstairs to the inn. Lin Shuo, Su Chen and Zhuge Kong were also there. They enjoyed a fairyland breakfast together.
Only after they finished their breakfast did Wang Xiaodie and those rich young men hurried down.
They came in front of Ye Chen and bowed deeply to him.
"Brother, you will be our big brother from now on!"
Only at this moment did they understand why Wang Xiaoting was so trying to please Ye Chen. His medicine was really good!
After taking the pills given by Ye Chen, not only did his cultivation level improve, but his talent also improved. His cultivation speed was obviously faster than before.
Wang Xiaoting was also very excited. This time the pill was more than twice as effective as the previous black pill.
"Brother, my name is Gou Dahu. My family is a famous medicinal herb family in Zhongzhou City. I will take care of any medicinal herbs you need in the future."
Gou Dahu stood up and said with a flattering look on his face.
He had a blue cloth wrapped around his head, was a little fat, had a round face, and his double chin trembled slightly as he spoke.
A pair of small eyes were squeezed into a slit by the flesh on his face, but they revealed a shrewd light.
He was wearing a loose brocade robe, but it could not hide his round belly. He walked with a swaying gait, like a cute penguin.
"Brother, my name is Gui Huafu. Our Gui family is good at making talismans and running a talisman business."
Gui Huafu spoke weakly and took out a handful of talismans and handed them to Ye Chen.
Gui Huafu's face was as pale as paper and his body was thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
In his sunken eye sockets, his eyes were bloodshot, his gaze was dull and lifeless, revealing deep fatigue and weakness.
His lips were bloodless, cracked and chapped, and trembling slightly.
His hair was messy and dry, hanging casually on his shoulders like a bunch of dead grass.
He was wearing a large black robe, but it looked empty and only served to highlight his skinny frame.
His fingers were long and shriveled, with a faint bluish-black tint at the joints, as if he had been ill for a long time and had not recovered.
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and took the talisman.
"Alright, get up, the test should be starting soon, let's go over there quickly!"
Ye Chen looked at them, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Everyone quickly stood up and nodded in agreement, they were certain that Ye Chen was their eldest brother.
The central square was packed with people and was extremely lively. Prodigies from all over the surrounding areas came to take the assessment.
Ye Chen and his group arrived at the center of the square, and the assessment had already begun.
The person in charge of the assessment was an old man with white hair and a youthful face. He had an immortal look and was awe-inspiring without even getting angry.
In front of him was a huge stone tablet, emitting a faint spiritual light.
The assessment content is still the same old thing, the author has no new ideas, it's still the same formula, the same cliché.
"No more than a thousand years old, come forward and test your talent!"
"Those with superior talents will be admitted directly regardless of their cultivation level." The old man continued.
"Those with less talent will be determined by a duel, and the winner will advance."
The old man's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the square.
"Brother, this assessment is too cliché."
Wang Xiaolick muttered softly.
"The author is too lazy and uses clichés just to save time!"
Ye Chen answered lazily, and did not forget to complain about the author.
"Ugh! I, Wang Xiaodie, despise this author!"
Wang Xiaodie expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the author indignantly and strongly condemned the author's laziness.
The young people around were talking about it.
"I heard that every city has an assessment point."
"Yeah, I wonder what the assessments in other cities are like."
"They're all the same! How can we treat them differently?"
"Yeah, that's right. After all, it's an academy founded by the Emperor of Heaven, so it must be fair."
Hearing these discussions, Ye Chen had an idea. Qingcheng should also take the test to join Tiangong Academy!
He thought of Luo Qingcheng's tenderness and the madness of the night, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
Just as he was immersed in sweet memories, a resentful gaze shot over.
Ye Chen sensed something and looked up, and it was Zhao Ritian.
Zhao Ritian's face was ashen at this moment, and his eyes were full of resentment.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhao? Why do you look so grim?"
Ye Chen greeted with a smile, as if he had completely forgotten what happened yesterday.
Zhao Ritian walked out of Zhaixing Tower, holding his aching wallet with his hands. His face looked uglier than if he had eaten a fly.
He originally thought that Ye Chen was pretending to be rich on purpose, trying to curry favor with him and pay for him.
As a result, Ye Chen set a trap for him to fall into. Ye Chen actually told the shopkeeper that Zhao Ritian would pay for the whole meal.
When the shopkeeper saw Zhao Ritian and Ye Chen coming in together and they seemed very familiar and close, he believed it a little.
When he looked at Zhao Ritian and asked, Zhao Ritian also smiled and nodded in confirmation.
But the shopkeeper didn't know that Zhao Ritian nodded to Ye Chen at that time.
Zhao Ritian recalled the scene at that time and realized that he did nod to Ye Chen, but that was because Ye Chen smiled at him first!
He thought Ye Chen was going to pay the bill for him, so he nodded and said you're welcome.
He didn't know that the shopkeeper was confirming with him whether he wanted to pay for the entire meal.
Who knew that Ye Chen was so insidious and cunning!
What’s even more infuriating is that Ye Chen’s table ordered all the most expensive dishes and wines in Zhaixing Tower. The consumption of one table was more expensive than that of all the other tables combined!
Zhao Ritian was so upset that he could only swallow his anger and pay the bill for the whole meal.
He cursed Ye Chen's ancestors in his heart. This kid had calculated all his expenses for the year!
Zhao Ritian looked at Ye Chen gritting his teeth, but did not dare to get angry.
