Chapter 1431: Chapter 1431 The Alchemist Luo Yun
Meng Changxing took out his token to facilitate Ye Liuyun’s entry into the imperial capital, avoiding inspections.
The imperial capital, despite its large size, seemed unremarkable to Ye Liuyun.
It appeared to be a conglomerate of multiple cities, with only the imperial palace towering over other structures.
Glancing at the palaces, Ye Liuyun found no particular interest in them.
"Quickly find Yun and have her alter your appearance. You stand out too much," Meng Changxing urged, prompting Guo Da to pilot the flying vessel towards Yun’s residence.
"Who is Yun?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"It’s Luo Yun, our alchemist! She has a kind of pill that can change one’s appearance!" Meng Changxing explained.
"A woman?" Ye Liuyun only now realized that the alchemist was a female.
"What’s wrong with that? We value ability. I’ll tell you now, don’t have any ideas about Yun. I’ve already claimed her!" Meng Changxing warned Ye Liuyun.
"Oh? Haha, now that you mention it, I might just have to try!" Ye Liuyun teased.
"That’s right, fair competition!" Guo Da chimed in.
"You’ve gone too far!"
Their banter left Meng Changxing exasperated.
After a while, Ye Liuyun asked Meng Changxing, "Don’t you want to go home and take a look?"
"Think of me like you, both of us homeless," Meng Changxing replied dismissively. He had seen the palaces but had no desire to return.
Ye Liuyun could understand. Within imperial families, there was little familial love, and mutual competition prevailed.
"Being carefree like us is better!" Guo Da added.
"Are you the same as him?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
"Why? Just because we don’t have influential families, does that mean we can’t learn Formations?" Meng Changxing scoffed.
Guo Da smiled, "Like Changxing said, we don’t want to get involved in the family struggles! As for you, we can’t figure out which family you’re from!"
Ye Liuyun smiled too, replying, "I fled because I was pursued by enemies and didn’t want to endanger my family."
"Someone can still pursue you? Have you eliminated them?" Meng Changxing asked, puzzled.
He believed that with Ye Liuyun’s strength and intelligence, few would be able to pursue him successfully. Avoiding conflict was already commendable.
Ye Liuyun slowly shook his head. "He is an Immortal Realm expert."
This revelation left Meng Changxing and Guo Da silent.
"In this world, there are no Immortal Realm experts!" Meng Changxing declared, looking at Ye Liuyun.
Guo Da also gazed at Ye Liuyun in confusion, wondering if he truly belonged to this world.
Ye Liuyun understood that he had inadvertently revealed too much. He quickly explained, "My cultivation level hasn’t reached the Immortal Realm, but my strength is comparable!"
Meng Changxing began to doubt. While Ye Liuyun was undoubtedly powerful, his lack of knowledge about this world seemed abnormal.
"People at that level, I can count with one hand!" Meng Changxing continued.
"That just means your experiences are limited!" Ye Liuyun responded slowly.
He suddenly recalled Man Shu from the Crystalberg, a Ninth Tier Sacred Majesty. At least there were likely several such experts before the Crystalberg’s downfall.
"That’s true!" Meng Changxing sighed, feeling relieved.
Indeed, there were many experts he didn’t know about.
He didn’t want to delve into Ye Liuyun’s background. Even if he came from outside, Meng Changxing didn’t care.
"It doesn’t matter. Even if you’re from another world, we don’t mind!" Guo Da echoed.
Meng Changxing, Guo Da, and others were knowledgeable and aware of the concept of otherworldly beings, so they weren’t particularly curious.
"As long as you’re not one of those foreign races causing trouble!" Meng Changxing added.
"Of course not!" Ye Liuyun replied, avoiding the subject.
However, he knew that Meng Changxing and Guo Da must have guessed it.
The Empire was searching for Ye Liuyun, and they couldn’t find information about his family background.
With their power, they still couldn’t find out who Ye Liuyun was. They believed he came from the south, which was already suspicious.
In addition to Ye Liuyun’s limited knowledge and formidable strength, Meng Changxing and Guo Da could easily make an educated guess.
Yet Ye Liuyun wasn’t too concerned. Even if they found out, it wouldn’t affect him much.
Soon, the flying vessel arrived at a medicinal garden. They descended, and the fragrance of herbs filled the air.
Just as they were about to enter the courtyard, the creaking sound of the gate interrupted them. An oddly ugly old woman, leaning on a cane, peered out, asking, "Who are you? What brings you here?"
"I’m here for Luo Yun!" Meng Changxing replied.
Ye Liuyun observed the old woman, finding her appearance ordinary and somewhat shaky with age. Surprisingly, she was a Third Tier Sacred Terra martial practitioner.
"Looking for Luo Yun? You’re in the right place. I am her servant. However, she’s currently out. You can come in and wait for her!"
As the old woman spoke, she tried her best to open the door and let them in.
Seeing her efforts, Meng Changxing and Guo Da rushed forward to help.
"Old lady, we can handle it ourselves!" Meng Changxing said.
"Who are you calling an old lady? Am I that old?" The old woman became a bit displeased.
"Not old at all!" Meng Changxing quickly apologized.
Ye Liuyun, however, suspected, "What’s the purpose of this old woman? Concealing her realm and pretending to be frail!"
He then activated the Golden Phantom Eyes again, carefully examining the old woman.
"There’s a Yin-fire source in the virtuoso, a fire attribute martial practitioner." Ye Liuyun noted the flame.
This fire was much weaker than his Ghostic Fire, but it was much stronger than normal fire property.
And the color of the flame was white. It should also be a kind of Heavenly Flame.
He also noticed her skin, smooth and elastic, seemingly contradicting her age. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Upon closer inspection, Ye Liuyun even blushed.
"This can’t be an old woman. She’s clearly a young woman!"
At that moment, he connected Meng Changxing’s words about Luo Yun having a pill for altering appearances. freёwebnovel.com
Could this be Luo Yun? Refining pills required the Fire of Pills. It shouldn’t be wrong.
Ye Liuyun suspected, carefully observing Luo Yun’s appearance, but even with Golden Phantom Eyes, he couldn’t detect any disguise.
While Ye Liuyun scrutinized Luo Yun, the "old woman" felt his gaze, sensing an instant of exposure.
Just as she was about to get angry, the feeling disappeared.
Casting a glance at Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes, she doubted but said nothing.
