"As expected of the Wind Flame City, it is indeed bustling and it is not something that the small cities like before can compare with. Just these commoners have the cultivation of the Essence Gathering Stage and I wonder how high the alchemy shops are?" After five days of travel, Ling Yunfan, who came with the Great Elder of the Nebula Pavilion, looked at Feng Yan City in shock as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the people around him.

"Alright, disciple, let's go eat something first. After all, it's only noon, so I've already registered for you when you're here. You can take a good look around and then head over to the Apothecary Guild tomorrow to participate in the competition." Seeing Ling Yun Fan's shocked expression, Nebula Great Elder also revealed a smile and said.

Hearing this, Ling Yun Fan nodded his head: "Okay, there's an inn right in front of us, let's go over there!"

As Ling Yunfan's words rang out, the two of them walked towards the inn called Lucky Flowing Cloud.

When he entered, he found that there were quite a lot of people inside. Most of them seemed to be from mercenary groups, some of them had a badge on their chest, some wore red hats, and some had patterns engraved on their faces. All sorts of people were gathered together.

Among these people, the ones with the highest cultivations were actually at the seventh level of the Natal Gathering Realm while the ones with the lowest cultivations were at the fourth level. Seeing this scene, Ling Yun, who had yet to experience the world, was completely shocked.

"Don't you feel very surprised? It is easy to find an existence that is on par with the top ranked inner disciples of the Hidden Dragon Martial School." Looking at Ling Yun Fan's expression, the Great Elder of Nebula Pavilion said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, if I didn't go on a long journey with you, Master, I really wouldn't have known that such a big city like this would exist. I used to think that even the largest city would only be some of the most powerful ones, but now, it seems like I was overthinking it. In this place, the Essence Gathering Stage is clearly a symbol of ordinary people!" After hearing the words of the Great Elder of the Nebula Pavilion, Ling Yun Fan answered in a slightly agitated manner.

Afterwards, before Nebula Great Elder could say anything, the waiter on the other side had already brought out a lot of food. When he heard Lingyun's words and that poverty-stricken appearance, he could not help but reveal a look of disdain.

Under the gaze of the waiter who was only at the first level of the Natal Opening Realm, if an ordinary person were to be angered, they would immediately teach him a lesson. However, Lingyun was a kind-hearted person and had a good temper, so he naturally wouldn't be angered by such a trivial matter.

"To return to the objective, the highest grade liquid brewing in this inn is advanced liquid brewing. A pot of the advanced liquid brewing costs five hundred thousand silver taels." Upon hearing Ling Yunfan's question, the waiter immediately replied.

Even though he looked down on this Ling Yunfan, who seemed to come from a poor village, he still had the attitude that he needed to have some sort of service.

He had originally thought that the highest price for high grade liquid essence was only 200,000 silver, but after hearing the waiter mention that the price was as high as 500,000 silver, the idea of making him want to buy a few more jars of liquid essence to properly taste them vanished like smoke in thin air.

Seeing Ling Yunfan's disgraceful appearance, the scornful expression on the waiter's face became even more pronounced.

Seeing this, the Great Elder immediately opened his mouth and said, "Don't just stand there. Give me eight jars."

Then, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately threw a low level Cosmic Bag to the waiter.

As a result, after opening up Nebula's Cosmic Bag to take a look, he discovered that it contained more than four million silver taels. He first said in an excited voice, "I'll immediately bring the Original Fluid Brewing up for the two guests!"

Very soon, the waiter brought over eight large pots of high grade liquid. Great Elder Xingyun also opened one jar and poured a full cup for him and Ling Yunfan before putting three of the remaining seven into his Qiankun bag, and slowly said, "As for the remaining four, disciple will keep them and share them with my friends. Master only needs three, after all, refining pills does not take up too much time, so I don't need that much high grade liquid."

Hearing this, Ling Yun Fan did not reject them. Instead, he immediately put away the four jars of high grade liquid essences in front of him, and started to chat and laugh with the Grand Elder.

"..."

"Yo!" "Isn't this the Hidden Dragon Sect's Xingyun? I didn't expect to see you here."

Just as the two of them were about to drink the liquid from the bowl again, a surprised and excited voice was heard.

When they heard this voice, the two of them looked over and discovered that it was an elderly man wearing a dark blue long robe. Beside him was a pure and cute girl with short hair who wore similar clothes.

This young girl looked to be around eighteen years old, but his cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Natal gathering, and he was even wearing a badge with a gold and profound character engraved on it on his chest.

"Yunlan greets Senior Xingyun!" After the old man patted the young girl's shoulder, the young girl immediately walked forward and greeted him respectfully.

Seeing the young woman being so polite, Great Elder Nebula nodded his head with a smile and said, "Alright, alright, alright. You two can come sit!"

Looking at the young lady and the old man, Ling Yunfan also welcomed them. After all, they were the Second Elder of the Skysword Sect, the Azure Dragon Founder, and his disciple.

"Is this young man your disciple? Nebula. " After the Azure Dragon Founder sat down, he detected Ling Yunfan's existence, so he also asked the Nebula beside him.

"Yeah." Seeing that the other party had discovered him, Nebula immediately said to Ling Yunfan, "Fan'er can introduce himself to Senior Azure Dragon Founder, and the senior over there is the same as well. Regarding seniority, you still have to call her Senior Sister."

Hearing that, Ling Yunfan also stood up, clasped his hands, and calmly said, "Junior Ling Yunfan greets Senior Azure Dragon Founder and Senior Yunlan!"

"Un, not bad, not bad. Sit down!" After hearing Ling Yunfan's words, he nodded his head, indicating that he should hurry up and do it.

However, the Azure Dragon Founder's attitude was not bad, because he also saw Lingyun's potential, but his disciple, Yun Lan, was different. In his eyes, Lingyun was only at the ninth level of the Origin Gathering Stage, a young disciple with average talent for martial cultivation.

Lingyun didn't care much about the attitude Yun Lan showed in front of him, and the Azure Dragon Founder could only laugh to cover the awkwardness in front of his eyes.
