Chapter 2609: Chapter 2612: Final Destination

The Canglan Domain regards the Saint Family as the top family, but there are some exceptions.

The Five Great Families of Alchemy Dao are such exceptions. The most powerful individuals in these families are ancestors in the Saint Realm, and even the Saint Family dares not provoke them lightly.

This is because they cooperate directly with Canglan City, and any force that can collaborate directly with Canglan City can be considered a top force in the Canglan Domain!

Sigh!

A sigh echoed, causing Fire Fen’er and the others to change expressions, a hint of sadness appearing in their eyes.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, puzzlement flashing in his eyes.

He was confident in his alchemy techniques, especially since the Thunder Spirit Pill was something he crafted for practice under the Old Locust Tree.

He had put in his best effort that time, carefully examining the elixir he produced, confirming it was a supreme elixir among the sixth-grade ones. According to the standards in the elixir inheritance he received, this Four-Pattern Thunder Spirit Elixir would have been a top-grade second-level earth elixir even in ancient times.

Yes, a second-level earth elixir!

In the inheritance Jiang Chen received, elixirs were divided into heaven, earth, and human levels, with four grades in each level. The fifth and sixth grade elixirs in the Void Nether Realm now were second-level earth elixirs in ancient times, which left Jiang Chen puzzled about the Alchemy Dao.

When Su Qingluan explained that the Array Dao was divided into Array Masters, Array Grandmasters, and Array Great Grandmasters, Jiang Chen could match this information with the Array Dao levels in his dream memory. However, the Alchemy Dao was still mismatched.

According to the current circumstances, the tenth-grade elixir now in the Void Nether Realm was actually a fourth-level earth elixir in ancient times, and should not be considered much. Yet now, tenth-grade elixirs have become legendary, which surprised Jiang Chen. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Back then, Jiang Chen realized that to solve the mystery of alchemy grades, he needed to visit the Elixir Peak in the Origin Continent. However, the Alchemy Dao inheritance has a gap, and people from the Void Nether Realm and Canglan Continent can produce elixirs in the same grade that are superior to ancient Pill Masters?

What did this sigh from the Old Fire Master signify?

"Jiang Chen, it doesn’t matter, even if it fails, it’s okay, I know you’ve tried your best!"

Fire Fen’er noticed Jiang Chen’s odd expression and softly offered comfort.

"Haha! You misunderstood!"

Before Jiang Chen could respond, Huo Weixi chuckled and said, "I sighed not because Mr. Jiang’s elixir is lacking in quality, but rather because his elixir is of such excellent quality. It’s the best sixth-grade elixir I’ve ever seen, without equal!"

"The best sixth-grade elixir!?"

"Then doesn’t that mean..."

Huo Laiwang and others’ eyes gleamed, staring intently at Huo Weixi.

"This time in the competition, our Fire family’s rank is secure!"

Huo Weixi smiled with satisfaction and said.

"Great!"

"Fen’er, you are the great contributor to our family!"

"Grandfather, your sudden sigh scared us to death!"

The members of the Fire family were all incredibly joyful.

Jiang Chen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Huo Weixi with some helplessness; the Old Master truly startled everyone.

"It’s just a pity that Mr. Jiang is not part of our Fire family, and..."

Huo Weixi glanced at Jin Ang and the others, regretfully saying, "Mr. Jiang might not stay in the Fire family after the alchemy competition, right?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, then collectively looked at Jiang Chen, while Fire Fen’er’s eyes shone with brightness, carrying a hint of expectation when she looked at Jiang Chen.

"No!"

Jiang Chen gently shook his head, "After the alchemy competition, I need to go to the Su Family for the Array Dao competition, followed by the selection for various domain competitions, and then entering the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

"What if you return from the Extraterritorial Battlefield?"

Huo Weixi asked again.

"At that time..."

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed a tender expression, "I should go to the Origin Continent!"

"The Origin Continent?"

The Fire family members were momentarily stunned, only Fire Fen’er seemed to know something, showing a hint of sadness deep in her eyes.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you going to the Origin Continent for?"

Huo Laiwang asked with curiosity.

"To cultivate, to experience, and also... to gather some information. The Canglan Continent is too far from my ultimate destination, and there isn’t much information from over there."

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"Ultimate destination?"

Huo Weixi’s eyes flickered as he tried probing, "Mr. Jiang, could you share where it is? Our Fire family has been in the Canglan Domain for nearly ten thousand years, we do know some information."

"Well... it’s not easy to explain. I’m not sure if the person I’m looking for is there because it’s a major force, and conducting investigations rashly isn’t wise."

Jiang Chen hesitated a bit, hopefully saying, "If the Old Fire Master doesn’t mind, could I look at some of the records and materials about other domains in your home?"

"Of course you can."

Having said this much, Huo Weixi stopped inquiring further, handed back the Thunder Spirit Elixir, and softly said, "You can always review the records; just ask Fen’er to show you when you want to go."

"Can I go now?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was delighted and eagerly said, because he truly wanted some information, which might very well pertain to the most important person in his heart!

Huo Weixi was momentarily stunned, then nodded gently, "Alright, let Fen’er and Lang Ran show you a room, and then take you to the Sutra Pavilion."

"Thank you, Old Fire Master!"

Jiang Chen rose, clasped his fists, and bowed, with Jin Ang and the others following suit.

Huo Weixi stood and returned the salute. Although he was a Saint Expert, and a peak expert in the Saint Realm, there was a Saint Monarch expert on Jiang Chen’s side, and their family still needed favor from Jiang Chen, naturally requiring some politeness.

Huo Langran and Fire Fen’er led Jiang Chen and the others away, leaving only Huo Weixi and Huo Laiwang in the hall.

"Father, today’s events have offended the Yan Family."

After Jiang Chen and the others had gone far, Huo Laiwang spoke in a low voice.

"Yan Family? Hmph! They think we don’t know their intentions, among the younger generation, Fen’er’s talents are the best, even beyond Qiong’er."

Huo Weixi snorted coldly, "Given time, Fen’er could be the stabilizing figure in the family. Though she might not become the Family Head, once you and I retire, Fen’er will be the most influential person in the family, aside from Qiong’er. The Yan Family wants to marry Fen’er simply to plant a pawn in our Fire family!"

"I also thought of that, but Yan Chengyun being crippled, the Yan Family won’t let it go easily. With three days left until the alchemy competition, I’m afraid there won’t be peace during these three days!"

Worry showed in Huo Laiwang’s eyes.

"Laiwang, what do you want to say?"

Huo Weixi slightly furrowed his brows, and stared directly into Huo Laiwang’s eyes.

Huo Laiwang bit his lip and softly said:

"Father, the two with Mr. Jiang are Saint Experts, and they are strong members of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan. If the Yan Family causes trouble, perhaps they could handle it? This way, our Fire family wouldn’t offend the Yan Family too badly."
