    Chapter 781: Chapter 781: The Grand Ceremony of the Elixir King (Second Update)


    That day.


    Xue An demonstrated peerless alchemic prowess in Wandan City, proving his Heaven Rank, thereby donning the white robe and ascending to supremacy.


    The news spread, shaking the Central Region.


    Ever since thest Elixir King perished, over a thousand years had passed without anyone reaching the status of Heavenly Rank Alchemist.


    Thus, when Xue An emerged out of thin air, he naturally attracted countless attentive gazes.


    At this moment, in front of Judan Pce, it was as busy as a marketce.


    Members of countless sects and noble families flocked here, hoping to seize the opportunity to forge a rtionship with this new Alchemy Dao celebrity.


    But no matter how great their origins or how high their cultivation levels were.


    They all hit a soft nail in the Judan Pce.


    Dong Lingxin felt her face was about to crack from smiling so much.


    No matter who it was, she had to smile and say, “I’m sorry, Elixir King Xue does not wish to receive guests right now!”


    And these typically aloof and important figures had all be amiable.


    Normally, they might not even give a second nce to someone of Dong Lingxin’s status.


    But today, they were all courteous, with smiles all around.


    This made Dong Lingxin sigh to herself.


    This was truly what it meant to be famous overnight and be known throughout the world.


    Finally.


    The eagerly awaiting crowd saw Xue An’s figure.


    When they saw the man in the white alchemist’s robe casually walking into the great hall of Judan Pce.


    All of these sect and noble family members went crazy.


    “Elder Xue! I am from the Ye Family of the Western Regions! Upon hearing that you’ve proven the Heaven Rank and be the new Elixir King, our Ye Family has specially prepared a modest gift for you, which is no match for the honor, but we hope you’ll ept it!” With that, the person opened the Jade Casket.


    Inside were all kinds of rare treasures, and the brilliance of Spiritual Medicines twinkled among them.


    But before he could continue speaking, someone else by his side couldn’t wait to shout, “Elixir King, we are from Dragon Toward Mountain in the Central Region, and this is our congrattory gift!”


    As they spoke, this person also opened their apanying Jade Casket.


    The gifts they brought were even more precious than those of the Ye Family.


    This set off the chain of events.


    One after another, the sons and daughters of these sects and noble families began presenting their gifts to Xue An.


    The various glows of treasure illuminated the great hall of Judan Pce, dazzling and blinding to behold.


    Not only that, these people, fearing Xue An would not ept, jostled and pushed forward, eager to be the first to hand over their gifts.


    This scene of rushing to offer gifts left Dong Lingxin and the others with dumbfounded expressions.


    Meanwhile, Xiao Wandan, who was ustomed to such sights, watched indifferently.


    As a Pill Master, Xiao Wandan naturally understood what Heaven Rank meant.


    He knew well that when he was merely a Yellow Level Alchemist, he was greatly revered.


    Let alone a Heavenly Rank Alchemist.


    Just then, they saw Xue An gently wave his hand, “I appreciate everyone’s sentiments, but please take these gifts back!”


    The crowd went silent, then came the cries of the people, “Elder Xue, please ept them!”


    “Yes! It’s just a token of our regard for you!”


    Xue An smiled, “No need!”


    This time, everyone looked at each other, none daring to utter another word.


    Because none of them knew the temperament of the newly appointed Elixir King, and thest thing they wanted was to upset him with their persistence, which would be a case of outsmarting themselves.


    Just then.


    Another group of people walked into Judan Pce.


    Leading them were the adjudicating elders.


    Following behind were many Pill Masters from the Elixir Dao Association.


    The appearance of these figures d in various colored alchemist robes caused the atmosphere in the hall to instantly be solemn.


    Then, these individuals made a beeline toward Xue An, all bending in unison before him.


    “Elixir King!”


    Xue An indifferently said, “Rise, and moreover, I had no intention of being your Elixir King, there is no need for such courtesies!”


    Hearing this, the leading elders revealed a trace of wry smiles and then stepped forward, respectfully saying.


    “Whether you are willing or not, since you have already achieved the Heaven Rank in alchemy, you are recognized by all of us as the new Elixir King!”


    Xue An was at a loss whether tough or to cry at their words and could only helplessly smile.


    “Forget it, if you wish to call me that, then do as you please! What brings you here?”


    “Elixir King, for you, our Elixir Dao Association has organized an Elixir King Ceremony, which will be held tonight at Elixir Tower. Please be sure to honor us with your presence!”


    Xue An hesitated for a moment, but when he noticed the earnest gazes of these white-haired elders, he couldn’t help but nod.


    “Very well, I shall attend then!”


    The crowd was overjoyed, “Thank you, Elixir King!”


    Those from the noble families and sects present exchanged nces, and all of them saw the same surprise and delight in each other’s eyes.


    This trip was not in vain. Now that they knew of this news, they would have to get into the Elixir King Ceremony tonight, even if it meant going to desperate lengths.


    Soon.


    The news of the Elixir King Ceremony being held at Elixir Tower tonight spread throughout the entire Wandan City.


    But at this time.


    Lü Baiyue was waiting at home for a certain group’s arrival.


    Finally, atmp lighting time.


    A dozen exceedinglyvish carriages flew through the sky from the horizon,nding in the courtyard.


    Lü Baiyue hurriedly exited her room and stood with hands sped in the courtyard.


    She saw a procession alight from the carriages, led by a middle-aged man in in clothes emanating an aura of natural authority.


    “Father!” Upon seeing him, Lü Baiyue quickly bowed her head and greeted him respectfully.


    The neer was none other than the Family Head of the Lü Family from the Skyward Pavilion, Lü Baiyue’s father, Lu Lie.


    Although beset with difficulties recently, with their ancestralnds destroyed,


    the sight of his second daughter still inspired an involuntary smile of fatherly affection.


    Few fathers do not dote on their daughters, especially when Lü Baiyue had exceptional talent in the Alchemy Dao, already a Pill Master of the Profound Rank pinnacle at such a young age.


    He naturally ced great importance on her.


    Once they were seated in the room, Lu Lie said with a light chuckle, “Bai Yue, you sent a message back home so urgently, is that man really as formidable as you say?”


    Lu Lie hade because, after yesterday’s events, Lü Baiyue had promptly written a letter home, ordering it to be sent with the utmost urgency.


    In the letter, Lü Baiyue was very clear: that man would be of great help to the future development of the Lü Family, and if possible, she hoped her father coulde in person.


    Lu Lie had traveled thousands of miles toe here because of this.


    Lü Baiyue nodded firmly, “Father, every word in the letter is true, not to mention anything else, just the fact that he is the only one who has sessfully be a Heavenly Rank Alchemist in a thousand years proves his worth!”


    Lu Lie nodded, “Then you mean to say…”


    “Father, in my opinion, we must attract this man at any cost!”


    Hearing the intensity in his daughter’s voice, Lu Lie’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly.


    Lü Baiyue noticed this and continued, “Father, our Lü Family has recently faced a great disaster, with many powers eyeing us covetously from the shadows, so we must strengthen our own powers as soon as possible! And this man could be the best aid!”


    “The addition of a Heavenly Rank Alchemist can at least ensure our Lü Family’s peace for twenty years!”


    Lu Lie was moved by his daughter’s words, “Well said! What should we do next?”


    “Father, tonight at Elixir Tower, the Elixir King Ceremony will take ce. It will then be time for our Lü Family to make an appearance, after all… in all the regions under the heavens, it seems there is no one wealthier than our Lü Family!”


    Upon hearing this, Lu Lieughed heartily.


    “Well said, Bai Yue! If ites to spending money, our Lü Family has never been afraid of anyone!”


    “Tonight, we will go to the Elixir King Ceremony together. I also want to see for myself what kind of manner this new Elixir King possesses!”
