Under the beautiful sunset, the courtyard in the Duke Manor was particularly picturesque. The highlight was a woman dressed in white holding a long, pure white sword and dancing gracefully with it.

Du Yanyao wasn't surprised by Shen Xiang's sudden appearance; she couldn't figure out why Shen Xiang could always easily approach her. Ever since the trading event started, she hadn't seen him, which made her somewhat worried.

"Where have you been these days" Du Yanyao asked softly. In the past, she wouldn't have bothered to ask.

"I was participating in the trading event. I met Yan Zilan, who agreed to let you follow her for cultivation once you're no longer the Duke. It's going smoothly!" Shen Xiang smiled slightly. "How does this sword feel"

Hearing that, Du Yanyao was very happy. Although she remained cold and reserved, her beauty seemed to shine even more.

"It's a divine sword; of course it feels good!" Du Yanyao said. "You really have skill to get Fairy Purplelan to let me follow her for cultivation."

"By the way, Fan Yakun has been looking for you several times. I never thought this fellow would cause such big trouble in his family and escape so quickly."

Shen Xiang was alarmed, asking hurriedly, "Where is he now I gave him here. This guy can run from here to the Mortal Martial Realm, he must be pretty skilled! What did he do wrong in his family"

"He entered their Fan Family's restricted area, stealing several tombs. This is a capital crime, but he can come to participate in the alchemy competition without any issues now. He must have pacified his family's elders." Du Yanyao said, "He's at the Fan Family's restaurant in the city. You can find him there."

Shen Xiang hurried out of the Duke Manor and headed for Fan Family's restaurant. Only Du Yanyao and Du Hai knew his situation, as well as details about Fan Yankun. Since he was here now, he naturally needed to pay a visit.

The restaurant of the Fan Family was very grand. According to what Shen Xiang heard, there's a small lake inside, and around the restaurant on both sides is a large river. To enter, one must pass through an opulently decorated bridge.

When he entered the restaurant, Shen Xiang directly asked to see Fan Yankun. The manager knew someone would come looking for him, so he hurriedly welcomed Shen Xiang to the top floor of the restaurant.

Shen Xiang quickly saw the graceful Fan Yankun, who was dressed in luxurious attire and exuding nobility. He held a golden fan embellished with sparkling stones.

"Fellow Shen, I knew you'd make waves wherever you are. Heh heh…" Fan Yankun said with a loud laugh after seeing Shen Xiang.

"It's no big deal,反正I'll return sooner or later, so I have nothing to worry about," Shen Xiang smiled as he walked into a luxurious reception hall and sat beside a green jade table, drinking a very precious wine.

Fan Yankun chuckled. "You've only been here for a short time, but you've thawed Du Yanyao's ice mountain. This has impressed many young nobles, and even in the Sacred Medicine Realm, many people want her now. Only her grandpa is too formidable for them to try."

Shen Xiang simply smiled. He and Du Yanyao were just acting out a charade.

"Word is that Brother Fan was鬨 up trouble in your family too. You're here at ease, meaning you have skills! " Fan Yankun said while waving his hand.

"Oh Why didn't you tell me, Young Miss Du" Shen Xiang asked in surprise. "If I win, how is that calculated"

"Du Family isn't participating because their patriarch is in seclusion. Without the head's lead, the old Du Family members wouldn't dare bet easily! I heard that the Chaos Mountain has sent people when they learned about this secret bidding, there's going to be a show!" Fan Yankun said happily. "Our Fan Family has bet heavily with ten elders, and if Fellow Shen joins in, hehe…"

"I'm definitely no match for you, Brother Fan. I was here only to join in the fun. If there's no power from other factions, then Sacred Medicine Gate wins as the house."

Shen Xiang scratched his chin and said, "If Chaos Mountain or others win the alchemy competition, doesn't that mean Sacred Medicine Gate gets a big advantage"

"This is natural, but Chaos Mountain's chances are higher. I heard that they're not just disrupting the alchemy competition; they want to get that reward too. What exactly it is, only starts being announced when the competition begins, but it's guaranteed to be good stuff otherwise Chaos Mountain wouldn't want it."

Fan Yankun also showed great interest in the reward. He had already found the demon suppressing bloodline and was planning to make a large profit in the Sacred Medicine Realm before leaving.

"Fellow Shen, be careful. Taking away Chaos Mountain's two Chaos Flame Orders and killing Guo Huaiqing and Lin Yushi, they definitely won't let it go. They might not be popular in Chaos Mountain, but for its reputation, they must catch you!" Fan Yankun warned. Knowing Shen Xiang was still in the Sacred Medicine Realm, he assumed Shen Xiang would participate in the alchemy competition. In such a situation, it could unleash people's potential, making it easier to successfully create unfamiliar medicines once. A successful attempt would gather experience for the next try.

In the restaurant, Shen Xiang chatted with Fan Yankun until nightfall before returning to the Duke Manor. Preparing for the alchemy master from Chaos Mountain made him excited, while he wasn't worried about Fan Yankun's trouble since Du Hai said she'd help him deal with it.

When Shen Xiang returned, he suddenly felt a faint heat while the people in the Duke Manor were sweating all over and clearly uncomfortable.

"What's going on" Shen Xiang stopped a servant leaving, asking.

"The Duke is practicing fire and his body's full of heat. We can't tolerate it, so we're all staying away," the servant said while sweating profusely. Shen Xiang sent her a cool, water屬性 True Qi, making her feel much better and thanking him.

Shen Xiang had a Dao Order of Heaven Fire, feeling no heat. He went to Du Yanyao's courtyard and saw the plants were withered, emitting smoke. The house Du Yanyao lived in was turned to ashes.

This made Shen Xiang very worried. He feared Du Yanyao might lose control of her fire practice and suffer from the magic sickness. Since she was still practicing inside the underground secret room, hot air kept rising, causing the pond in the courtyard to boil. This made Shen Xiang nervous and immediately walked towards the entrance of the underground secret room.en Xiang put the piece of armor away.“Hey, that holy beast should be large. These scales are so big. You definitely have more, there’s also bones and flesh, do you not intend to show me any respect” H...
