Honestly, the conditions Bai Yunfei proposed were quite extraordinary, and would have tempted anyone else.
Indeed, the conditions were outstanding as Yang Chen would be able to learn various alchemy techniques from the Huangshan Sect and enjoy many of their exclusive alchemy teachings. All he had to do was give 50% of his alchemy production to the Huangshan Sect for handling after he grew up.
For a young alchemy genius, this was a great deal.
However…
It was different for Yang Chen.
With Yang Chen’s vision and knowledge, he could casually concoct an elixir that the entire Huangshan Sect wouldn’t be able to refine. How could he be swayed by Bai Yunfei’s proposal? As for Bai Yunfei wanting to take him as an apprentice, it was even more impossible. Yang Chen not teaching Bai Yunfei was already a concession, but Bai Yunfei teaching him?
But he couldn’t say such things out loud.
Moreover, Bai Yunfei was sincere in his proposal, and Yang Chen felt embarrassed to turn him down.
After some thought, Yang Chen clasped his hands and said, “Senior Bai, I am truly grateful for your sincerity, but I have not given much thought to alchemy in the long term, even though your conditions are indeed tempting.” Although Yang Chen had declined gently, Bai Yunfei still knew that he had been rejected.
Thinking of how he had offered such enticing conditions and still been rejected, Bai Yunfei couldn’t help but feel a bit displeased, although he didn’t show it on his face.
Being very perceptive, Yang Chen could understand Bai Yunfei’s emotions.
He spoke gently, “Senior, rest assured, if I ever achieve success in alchemy, at most I will only sell a few elixirs occasionally, and won’t obstruct the
Huangshan Sect’s alchemy interests.”
Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Bai Yunfei’s expression relaxed considerably.
In reality, Bai Yunfei’s primary concern was that the monopoly effect of the
Huangshan Sect would be broken by individual alchemists. However, Yang Chen didn’t seem interested in large-scale alchemy production.
Thus, Bai Yunfei felt more at ease.
At this thought, Bai Yunfei couldn’t help but feel a sense of unwillingness, “I understand, Yang Chen. Your martial arts cultivation is also outstanding, and you have a bright future ahead. You do not need to be constrained to the path of elixir commerce. However, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? If you have any requests, as a representative of the Sect Leader of the Huangshan Sect, I can try my best to fulfill them.”
Not only did he value Yang Chen’s alchemy talent, but also his martial arts talent.
As long as there was a connection, it would certainly be a profitable venture for the Huangshan Sect.
Yang Chen was determined to decline, but upon further thought, he came up with an idea: “Senior Bai, although I might not be able to accept you as my master, I can introduce you to another alchemy genius.”
“Oh? What kind of alchemy genius?” Bai Yunfei asked subconsciously, not taking it too seriously in his heart.
How amazing could an alchemy genius be?
Yang Chen noticed Bai Yunfei’s skeptical expression, coughed twice, and then lowered his voice, “Senior Bai, have you ever heard of the Body of Capturing Souls?”
“What… What?! The Body of Capturing Souls? Yang Chen, my friend, you mustn’t be joking with me… That alchemy genius you mentioned…” Bai Yunfei’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Just as Senior Bai imagined, the genius I’m talking about possesses the Body of Capturing Souls!” Yang Chen said with a breezy smile.
The person he spoke of was none other than Song Chen, the little guy from the Song Family who was looked down upon by others.
Initially, Yang Chen hadn’t thought of this matter because he believed that his connection with Song Chen had come to an end after helping him. It was up to the kid himself to seize future opportunities. However, when he saw Bai Yunfei’s eagerness to recruit an apprentice, he thought of Song Chen. With his unique Body of Capturing Souls, wasn’t Song Chen just in need of an alchemy master to guide him?
At this point, Bai Yunfei seemed to understand the power of the Body of Capturing Souls.
As he looked at Bai Yunfei, the man appeared to be in a daze, staring at Yang Chen with astonishment. He took a deep breath and exclaimed, “Yang Chen, you have to be serious about this matter!”
“Senior, do I look like I’m joking with you?” Yang Chen asked gently.
Looking into Yang Chen’s eyes, Bai Yunfei thought carefully and couldn’t find any reason to question his words.
Yang Chen was indeed not joking.
But the Body of Capturing Souls…
He understood what this body constitution represented. It was something that every alchemist dreamt about. Among the Huangshan Sect’s history, there had only been one person with such alchemy constitution.
During that generation, the Huangshan Sect was at its peak, and even approached the status of the Three Hegemons.
The Body of Capturing Souls was like having an alchemy machine. Given proper cultivation and training, it represented an endless supply of spirit stones.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunfei hurriedly asked, “Young friend Yang Chen, where is this person with the Body of Capturing Souls? Did they also participate in this alchemy knockout competition?”
“No, this little guy is unremarkable and even considered a martial arts waste in his own clan,” Yang Chen said with a bitter smile.
“How could this be?” Bai Yunfei’s eyes widened with a touch of anger. For an alchemy genius being considered a martial arts waste…
This was simply absurd!
Yang Chen continued slowly, “Senior Bai, if nothing goes wrong, Song Chen should currently be in the Song Family of Liaocheng. I believe that with the power of the Huangshan Sect, you can easily find Song Chen. When the time comes, just tell him that I recommended him, and I’m sure he will be willing to become your apprentice. Song Chen has some connection with me, so I hope that the Huangshan Sect won’t treat him unfairly in the future.”
“Of course not! Speaking of today’s matter, since Yang Chen is not interested, I will take my leave for now. If this Body of Capturing Souls is genuine, I, Bai Yunfei, will personally express my gratitude in the future.” Bai Yunfei said hurriedly, and with a wave, he disappeared from the spot.
Bai Yunfei was indeed anxious.
You must be joking.
Although Yang Chen was talented in alchemy, he had no intention of joining the Huangshan Sect.
In contrast, he had another alchemy genius with the Body of Capturing Souls, treated as a waste by others, waiting for him. There was no room for hesitation.
Without thinking too much, Bai Yunfei decided to personally make a trip to Liaocheng to see what this Body of Capturing Souls was like. If it were genuine, he would immediately bring that genius under his wing without a second thought. Missing such a talent was not an option.
Seeing Bai Yunfei anxiously leaving, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile. At the same time, he quietly took a load off his mind: “This Body of Capturing Souls is indeed a rare constitution, but I’m just an idle person with no time to accept Song Chen as my apprentice. Today, I have given him another chance by introducing Bai Yunfei to him. I believe that after Song Chen enters the Huangshan Sect, he will have a broader future.” He had done all he could for the little guy..
