e report is filed in this situation, it's unlikely to lead to an investigation, especially with so many witnesses.And just then, with a sharp crack, a big slap landed on his face."Ximen Yuliang, you s...Chen Kangnian heard the sound a little familiar, and looking back, he saw Zhong Limi staring at him intently.

"Elder Zhong!"

As the head of the Chen family, he naturally recognized this great elder from the Divine Sword Mountain Villa. However, his attention was always on Ye Bufan before, and he didn't notice him.

"Chen Kangnian has met the Great Elder."

In terms of cultivation level or seniority, he was far inferior to Zhongli Mei. He immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed to greet him.

Zhongli waved his hand. "Master Chen, you're too kind. I'm no longer the great elder. I'm just a servant to the young master."

"This..."

It was only now, in this moment, that Chen Kangnian remembered a rumor he had heard before. The rumor said that Ye Bufan had single-handedly subdued the three major Eight-Star Sects and become the master of the entire Tianluo State.

I originally thought this was just a legend, but now it seems very possible.

After all, what kind of identity is Zhongli Mei He is a powerhouse at the Void Profound stage and the Great Elder of Shenjian Mountain Villa.

Being able to humble oneself and serve as a servant shows that the other party is definitely extraordinary.

Thinking about this, the slight displeasure I had towards Ye Bufan immediately vanished. In the cultivation world, as long as one's strength is powerful enough, it can change many people's perspectives.

As the head of the Chen family, Chen Kangnian puts the family's interests above all else. If the other party was truly the Lord of Tianluo Prefecture, he would not dare to offend them in any way.

Even if I'm not 100% sure yet, his attitude is very respectful.

"I am Chen Kangnian, the head of the Chen family. I have met Young Master Ye!"

"Master Chen, Yuyou and I are friends. There's no need for us to be so formal."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly. He saw Chen Kangnian's psychological changes clearly, but for Chen Youyou's sake, none of this mattered.

"Thanks, Young Master Ye!"

At this moment, Chen Kangnian had a thought: perhaps his daughter was right. Making friends with such a person would be a huge blessing for the Chen family.

But he is also a very scheming person, some things are still uncertain and need to be observed slowly.

Then he chatted with Zhongli for a few words before retreating to the side and remaining silent.

At this time, Ma Kai's emotions also changed. He looked at Ye Bufan with a curled lip and a face full of disdain.

He walked up to Chen Kangnian's side and whispered, "Uncle Chen, isn't this just a pretty boy What's so great about him He's just showing off because of his family's power." Zhong Limi's words earlier had led him to misunderstand, thinking that Ye Bufan was just a spoiled rich kid who relied on his family.

He is able to command the respect of powerful figures like Zhongli because of his family's influence. It is his family's power that allows him to possess treasures like a mid-grade flying spirit artifact.

That's exactly why, when he spoke those words, his voice was filled with righteous anger and disdain. Yet, he had conveniently forgotten how he had just moments ago used his family name to cloak himself in false authority.

Chen Kangnian just smiled faintly and did not make any statement.

He knew very well that everything this young man had achieved was earned through his own hard work. He had no family background or connections, only himself to rely on.

In contrast, someone like Ma Kai, a second-generation heir who flaunts his family's power, is far inferior.

But as an old fox, he naturally wouldn't make any statements or clarifications before having a clear final goal in mind.

Seeing that Chen Kangnian didn't follow his lead, Ma Kai felt a bit unhappy in his heart.

But now there's nothing he can do about it, he can only wait patiently.

Wait for the right opportunity to show off my abilities, step on him, and let Chen Youyou see who is the most outstanding man.

Ye Bufan completely ignored his existence, he didn't even notice that such a person was there. At this moment, he and Chen Youyou were reunited as old friends, chatting happily.

After chatting about past experiences for a while, Chen Youyou asked, "Brother Ye, why did you come to Tiansheng Prefecture Are you here to watch the Lu family's weapon refining competition"

I don't know.

Ye Bufan came this time solely to seek justice for Lu Zhao Zong, he doesn't understand anything else.

He asked, "What kind of alchemy competition is this What's going on"

"That... I can't really say, it was Master Ma who said it. He should tell you himself."

Chen Youyou turned to Ma Kai and said, "Ma Gongzi, could you tell everyone about the Refining Competition"

"You don't even know something this big Well, let me tell you about it."

Mark strode forward, chest out and head high. In his view, this was the advantage of being a local big shot—things you guys didn't know, I knew them. And in the end, you'd always have to come to me.

Ye Bufan didn't care about these things. What he wanted to know was the situation of the Alchemy Competition so that he could plan his next move.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ma Kai began to speak: “This alchemy competition was initiated by the Lu family, the first alchemy family in the world. It invited all alchemists from the entire Kunlun Continent to participate. The winner will ultimately be crowned the title of Kunlun Artifact God...”

Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan immediately frowned. In his heart, only his master Lu Zhaozong was worthy of the title "Kunlun Divine Weapon," no one else.

But he didn't interrupt, letting the other person continue.

"Ma Kai continued, "Actually, the most interesting thing about this alchemy competition is the grand prize. You probably can't guess what it is"

Chen Youyou curled her lips: "Alright, stop playing coy, just tell me."

She had limited knowledge about the Alchemy Competition because she was previously unhappy with her father's arranged marriage. Now that she saw Ye Bufan's interest, she also wanted to learn more.

Ma Kai chuckled awkwardly and continued, "There are two prizes for this competition, one of which is a very precious alchemy material: the Five-Colored Xuan Stone."

Legend has it that this thing is priceless, an invaluable treasure for alchemists.

Hearing the words "Five-Colored Mysterious Stone," Ye Bufan's eyes lit up instantly.

Now he already had two multicolored jade stones, and unexpectedly, he came across a third one.

Such a treasure must not be missed, we have to gather all seven colorful mystical stones as soon as possible.

Others recently have also become aware of the importance of this thing, and they are all showing expressions of astonishment.

Ma Kai was very pleased with everyone's reaction and smiled triumphantly: "Compared to the Five-Colored Stone, there is another prize that is more distinctive."

Chen Youyou asked, "Come on, what is it"

She is a super beauty!

Ma Kai paused here, a lecherous smile creeping across his face. "I wonder if you've heard of the title 'China's No. 1 Beauty'"

Zhongli Mei said, "Are you talking about Lu Chao Zong's former fiancée, Liu Yue Niang, the God of Kunlun Instruments"

"Yes, it's her, Liu Yue'nia, the number one beauty in Zhenlai Country."

Ma Kai excitedly said, "If anyone can win the top spot in this alchemy competition, they will get to marry the beauty."

It's a pity that none of you can forge weapons, otherwise, you could give it a try. If you happened to get first place, you'd make a killing!

This guy was just about to speak when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The air around him seemed to drop by dozens of degrees.

Looking up, I saw that the young man before me exuded a powerful murderous aura.hat Ye Bufan had taught this guy a lesson twice in a row, the people around immediately cheered."You..."The BMW man got up from the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth. This time, he didn't dare t...
