Imparting My Cultivation To Beasts Gets Me 10,000X In Return Novel - Chapter 167

The City Lord Estate.

These ancient buildings were all extraordinary. Even the stone lion at the entrance was carved out of a hundred-year-old piece of white jade. This kind of jade material was extremely rare much less one that was this large. It could nourish spiritual energy and prolong one’s life.

Even the decorations at the entrance were like this much less the inside. It was not an exaggeration to say that even a brick of the City Lord Estate was priceless. Of course, this was only a joke from the people outside. In fact, it was not far from the truth.

From the outside, the City Lord Estate did not seem to occupy a large area. However, there was a different world inside. It was difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of the scene inside.

The security here was tight. There were sentry posts every few steps. The closer it was to the City Lord’s room, the tighter the security was. There were also patrols moving back and forth. It was as if they had completely surrounded this place. Not even a fly could fly in much less people.

However, the strange thing was that the city lord was not in the room. Moreover, looking at the furnishings and equipment in the room, it seemed that no one had used it for a long time.

In another spacious hall, there were all kinds of pill cauldrons. There were many people busying themselves. At a glance, they were all people from the Alchemy Association. As far as the eye could see, they were all sixth or seventh rank alchemists. There were even a few eighth rank alchemists.

Fifth rank alchemists could only be considered as handymen inside. They were like apprentices. Chen Yan was also inside.

These alchemists were all secretly ordered by the City Lord Estate to gather here to refine pills. At this moment, Chen Yan didn’t know what he was thinking. He seemed to be a little absent-minded.

“From the moment you entered the City Lord’s Estate, I noticed that something was wrong with you. What exactly happened?”

A voice suddenly interrupted Chen Yan’s thoughts. He raised his head and saw that it was his master, Yan Hua. He was also one of the eighth rank alchemists. He had an extremely high seniority in the Alchemist Association and could be considered an elder-level figure.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Yan knew many secrets that other disciples did not know. It was a pity that knowing too much did not mean that it was a good thing. It also meant that he had to bear a lot of burdens.

All these things were like a huge mountain pressing down on him. He could not catch his breath. Ever since he knew the reason for entering the City Lord’s Estate, Chen Yan could not sleep at night. This mind state also affected his cultivation, causing him to be stuck at a bottleneck for a long time. There were even signs that his cultivation was beginning to fall.

Seeing this, Yan Hua had no choice but to temporarily delay Chen Yan’s entry into the City Lord Estate for the sake of Chen Yan’s future. Chen Yan needed to adjust himself first.

Chen Yan sighed. What else could it be? It was naturally Lin Bai’s matter.

“I originally met a very talented young man who was very suitable to become master’s disciple. Since master was in the City Lord’s Estate, I temporarily took him in as my disciple. He is only around 20 years old and is able to refine a grade seven medicinal pill. It should be of great benefit to us. It’s just a pity.”

He did not continue with the rest of his words. He had already roughly explained it in his previous talks with Yan Hua. If it was not for that accident, the person who should have been standing here should have been Lin Bai.

“Logically speaking, I feel that he is more qualified than me for this current position. I originally wanted to send him to the City Lord Estate to help master, but I did not expect such a thing to happen.”

Initially, Yan Hua didn’t have much interest, but when he heard Chen Yan’s words, his interest was immediately piqued. “You rarely praise a person like this. To be able to receive such an evaluation from you, it must mean that his talent is extraordinary.”

“Ai.” Chen Yan sighed, “After all, he was able to refine a grade seven medicinal pill, which shows his talent. It’s just that Zhong Haoran, this villain, set up a vicious trap and let him break into the forbidden area. In the end, he was seriously injured and driven out.”

As the person was brought here by Chen Yan, even though he had Yan Hua’s support, he was also implicated. Zhong Haoran also took the opportunity to punish him for not disciplining Lin Bai properly.

Although the punishment was not serious, no one was allowed to come into contact with him. Therefore, he was unable to contact Lin Bai in time. He did not know how Lin Bai’s situation was.

It was not easy for him to come out from the cliff, but he received a message from Yan Hua, asking him to come to the City Lord’s Estate. Therefore, he could only put Lin Bai’s matter aside.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but ask, “Master, why is there a sudden emergency summon? Moreover, I saw that there are many fourth rank alchemists here recently.”

Yan Hua sighed and looked around. There were people coming and going here, and it wasn’t a good place to talk. Thus, he brought Chen Yan to the side.

“This matter is a secret and I shouldn’t tell you. However, as my disciple, you will know sooner or later that the City Lord’s condition isn’t good now. There are even a few alchemists who were accidentally injured. We are just being prepared in case there is no one to use.”

Chen Yan’s heart couldn’t help but to contemplate when he heard this. He couldn’t help but open his mouth and say, “Master, you guys are eighth grade alchemists. Don’t tell me that even you guys can’t do anything about it?”

Yan Hua revealed a bitter smile, “So what if I’m an eighth grade alchemist? In the face of such a situation, you are still helpless and have no way to eradicate the problem for the City Lord. What we can do now is to curb its development. However, the City Lord’s situation is getting more and more serious. It’s gradually spreading. If this continues, I’m afraid that even we won’t be able to control it.”

“No wonder master has been at a loss these past few days. You have been troubled by this matter.”

The matter was far more serious than Chen Yan had imagined. Although the conversation between the master and disciple was confusing, it was not difficult to tell from the few words that the City Lord’s body had a major problem.

However, what exactly was the problem that could actually cause the Alchemist Association to mobilize all of their forces? It could be said that more than half of the elders, as well as the elites, were here. Moreover, it was so strictly kept a secret. It was enough to show that this matter was no trifling matter.
