t get sick."Upon hearing her words, both Branko and Langley shook their heads, clearly not agreeing with such a statement.They don't understand or believe in traditional Chinese medicine at all, and t...Under Gongsun Hong's leadership, Ye Bufan and the other flew for a whole half day. In the distance, a grand tower appeared before their eyes.

Around this tower, scattered and diverse buildings can be found. There are inns, shops, and here and there, some residences as well.

"Master, this is the branch of Ju Bao Pavilion."

Gongsun Hong fell from the mid-air, respectfully introducing to Ye Bufan.

"This is the iconic Ten-Story Pagoda of Jubao Pavilion, here. Inside, all the treasures they wish to sell are kept, and with each ascending level, the quality of the treasure increases..."

As the two walked towards the Treasure Pavilion, chatting along the way, Ye Bufan said, "Are you very familiar with the manager here"

Gongsun Hong nodded: "The chief manager here is named Miao Badou. I'm an eighth-rank immortal alchemist, and he happens to be in charge of the alchemy department."

He often buys pills from me, and I also find some medicinal herbs for alchemy through him. He is a very kind person, and after many years of getting along, he can be considered a friend.

"Though I speak, he still gives me face and helps me look for information about spiritual medicines. That's no problem."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded, and the two came to the front of the tenth-level pagoda.

There were a dozen or so guards standing here, each with a cultivation level above Great Spirit Immortal. This shows that the Ju Bao Pavilion is still very powerful.

Gongsun Hong was also a frequent visitor here. He showed his token, and the two stepped inside.

Upon entering the hall, Ye Bufan looked around. Compared to the Treasure Pavilion in Nether Heaven, the decorations here were even more lavish.

The room had no lamps, yet it was inlaid with all sorts of gems, sparkling brilliantly.

Above the entrance hung a massive plaque, ten meters long and five meters wide, giving an imposing air.

Above was written a line of flowing script, "Treasure Pavilion sells only genuine items, one hundred times compensation for fakes."

The entire hall is divided into four sections according to direction. The east side sells magic implements, the west side sells finished pills, the south side is for immortal herbs, and the north side is for refining materials.

The four directions come together, nearly encompassing all the resources a cultivator needs.

Their location is on the first floor, so these items are all first-tier and relatively inexpensive.

Since there are few low-level immortals in the Zhongtian domain, the number of guests who gather here for a chat is not large.

After the two men entered, a remarkably clever-looking fellow with a wide smile greeted them.

"Master Alchemist, you have arrived!"

Gongsun Hong nodded: "I want to see Manager Miao!"

"Please follow me."

The young man led the two of them to the back hall, which was connected to the tenth-floor pagoda and served as the office area for the Treasure Pavilion.

Upon arriving at the main hall and after reporting themselves, a young attendant led the two inside. A short, stout middle-aged man with a cheerful smile greeted them. He was none other than Miao Badou, the manager of the Ju Bao Ge branch.

"Brother Gongsun, long time no see!"

Miao Badou enthusiastically greeted them, after greeting Gongsun Hong, his gaze fell on Ye Bufan.

Who is this young master

Gongsun Hong said, “Manager Miao, allow me to introduce you. This is my master!”

"It turns out it's Gongsun Senior Brother's...master...Teacher..."

As the general manager here, he was a man of many connections and was extremely adept at social interaction.

He could barely smile, his words catching in his throat halfway through.

I originally thought Ye Bufan was just Gongsun Hong's new apprentice or a handyman, but I never expected him to be the master.

This is truly unbelievable. Gongsun Hong's age and status are right there for all to see, how could an eighth-rank immortal alchemist possibly have such a young master

Even if he was in charge of the treasure trove and had met countless people, this was still the first time he had seen such a thing.

He swallowed hard, his face a mask of disbelief.

"Gongsun brother, you're not kidding, are you"

Gongsun Hong said seriously, “This is no joke. The superior man acts as a teacher to the inferior. This is my master!”

Miao Bajiu stared in astonishment at the young man before him, utterly bewildered. How could someone so young possibly have defeated Gongsun Hong Could it be that he truly possessed extraordinary alchemy skills

"May I ask your honorable name"

"I am Ye Bufan!"

"Young Master Ye is truly accomplished!"

Miao Bajiu was a man who had seen the ups and downs of life, and he quickly recovered. "Brother G公, how many pills did you bring this time Or is there any medicine that needs my help"

According to past experience, whenever Gongsun Hong appears, it's either to sell refined pills to Ju Bao Pavilion or to procure some precious medicinal herbs.

"Not really..."

Gongsun Hong was just about to state his purpose when a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.

"Senior, please wait a moment, the chief steward is receiving guests..."

"Senior, you really can't go in. Wait for me to go in and report..."

The voice of the young man was urgent, and immediately after, the door slammed open with a bang, and a tall old man walked in from outside.

"Who am I A ninth-rank immortal alchemist. Where would I need to announce my arrival, or wait for others What a joke!"

The old man, with an arrogant look on his face, waved his hand and sent the young lad flying. He strode into the main hall.

Upon seeing him, both Gongsun Hong and Miao Badou's expressions changed slightly. They knew this person - Deng Jiugong, a ninth-rank Immortal Pill Master.

Miao Bade first frowned, then a smile spread across his face. He waved his hand, signaling the young waiter to retreat outside the room.

"Brother Deng, it's been a long time. What brings you here"

Deng Jiugong curled his lips, a look of arrogance on his face: "Manager Miao, I won't beat around the bush. This time I've refined several batches of pills and want to sell them to your Ju Bao Ge."

"This is great, welcome, welcome!"

"Miao Bajiu said with a chuckle, 'But I'm currently entertaining Gongsun Elder Brother and Deng Elder Brother. Would you please wait a moment' "

"I've had someone bring you some tea over there. I have some thousand-year-old tea here..."

He wanted to have the other person wait aside, and then greet Gongsun Hong and Ye Bufan before greeting him.

Before he could finish his sentence, Deng Jiugong's face darkened.

"Let me wait over there Does he, an eighth-rank immortal alchemist, even qualify"

Deng Jiugong slanted his eyes toward Gongsun Hong, "Old man, I'm a Ninth Rank Immortal Alchemist. My time is precious and not wasted on just any cat or dog!"

The two of them had some history before this, they had both set their eyes on the same medicinal herb at an auction previously, but it was ultimately bought by Gongsun Hong. So, this old geezer has been holding a grudge ever since.

If it had been before, Gongsun Hong might have endured it, after all, there is a huge difference between an eighth-rank and ninth-rank celestial alchemist.

But today was different, with his own master right beside him.

If one were to discuss his mastery of alchemy, he still couldn't gauge Ye Bufan's true strength. Perhaps he was a tenth-rank alchemist, or even higher. He certainly wasn't someone a ninth-rank celestial alchemist could dare to provoke.

"Deng Jiugong, what do you say With my master here, it's not your turn to run wild. Quickly go to the side and wait!"

"Your master"

Deng Jiugong was stunned for a moment, then looked around. There were only four people in the room, besides Miao Baidou, there was only this young man in front of him.

If there were a second person, he wouldn't think Gongsun Hong was talking about Ye Bufan either, but now there's only this one option in the room.

After a brief moment of daze, he burst into laughter, his laughter laced with sarcasm.

"Gongsun Hong, you actually worship such a young boy as your master Are you crazy You've disgraced the face of all Xian Dan Shi!" door immediately became alert, and the head guard shouted."Restricted Area, Keep Out!"Who are you Get out of here, or I'll have you arrested!No matter how he called out, those people seemed to not he...
