"Ya Fei, you've come." 

Seeing the beautiful woman hurrying towards him, Mo Yu smiled gently. 

After greeting the elders, Ya Fei quietly slipped to Mo Yu's side, sitting down with a smile like a blossoming flower. She giggled, "This is the Alchemist Grand Meeting held once every eight years; of course, I had to come and see." 

"Oh? Miss Ya Fei seems very familiar with Mr. Mo Yu." Sitting beside Mo Yu, Princess Yao Ye noticed his warm attitude towards Ya Fei. A trace of unease flickered in her beautiful eyes. 

As a princess of the empire, she had always basked in countless admiring and respectful gazes, yet she found herself met with indifference by Mo Yu. If his coldness was consistent, it would be understandable, but his different attitude towards Ya Fei left the proud princess feeling slightly defeated. 

"Mo Yu and I have known each other since Wu Tan City. It's normal for Princess Yao Ye not to know," Ya Fei responded, noticing Yao Ye sitting beside Mo Yu. Her eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly thought of something and deliberately spoke in a familiar tone. 

With two stunning beauties on either side of Mo Yu, this naturally drew some heated gazes from the VIP seats. Some young men, who held fantasies about the two women, now looked at Mo Yu with envy, jealousy, and hatred. 

However, recalling the recent rumors of Mo Yu thrashing Mu Zhan, they dared only curse him in secret, not brave enough to provoke this killer openly. 

On the side, Hai Bodong, having finished reminiscing with an old friend, was preparing to return and chat more with Mo Yu. 

Yet when he saw the young man flanked by beauties, his old face stiffened. With a helpless shake of his head, he sat down casually in one of the VIP seats. 

As time passed, the long-anticipated moment finally arrived. 

When the crisp sound of a bell echoed across the square, the uproarious noise suddenly quieted. 

Hearing the bell ring in his ears, Fa Ma trembled as he slowly stood up and walked to the front of the VIP seats. 

"In the name of the president of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association, I declare the start of the Seventh Alchemist Grand Meeting!" 

With Fa Ma's announcement, over a thousand alchemists participating in the competition rushed towards the center of the square, each finding a bluestone platform to begin their trials. 

Even Mo Yu, used to witnessing grand events, couldn't help but feel a bit moved at this magnificent scene. 

Alchemists were indeed the most respected profession on the Dou Qi continent, unmatched by professions like weapon refiners or poison masters. Such an extravagant event could only be hosted by the Alchemist Association, with their abundant manpower and resources. 

While Mo Yu was lost in thought, Hai Bodong, who couldn't find a seat, ended up near Xiao Yan. Suddenly, Hai Bodong waved his hand, and an invisible force sent the unprepared Xiao Yan flying. 

Seeing this, Mo Yu was stunned for a moment before shaking his head in resignation. 

At such a grand event, many sought fame and fortune, hoping to shine brightly, yet Xiao Yan remained composed, keeping a low profile. 

But that plan was clearly no longer viable. 

Under the force of Hai Bodong's energy, Xiao Yan, who had intended to keep a low profile, was forced to reveal some of his strength. 

On the square, a black-robed youth extended his hand toward the ground. In an instant, a surge of invisible, violent energy burst forth, slamming into the hard bluestone floor. 

Immediately, a crack spread across the ground. 

Using the force of the energy's recoil, the black-robed youth's rapidly descending body slowed significantly. In midair, his body spun like a top, moving swiftly. 

Whenever the energy began to dissipate, the youth would casually tap the ground with his hand, maintaining a perfect balance between the ascending energy and his downward momentum. 

As the crowd watched in amazement, the youth spiraled toward the center of the square. 

"Heh, as expected of cousin Xiao Yan. When he makes a move, it's never anything less than stunning," Mo Yu chuckled softly to himself as he watched the flawless entrance. 

Xiao Yan's display also stirred quite a bit of excitement from the audience, with waves of applause following one after another. 

As the contestants continued to enter, Fa Ma officially announced the start of the competition. 

In an instant, over a thousand flames ignited simultaneously across the vast square. 

As the competition began, countless people focused their attention on the rare sight of so many alchemists refining pills at once. 

However, for Mo Yu, the spectacle quickly grew dull. While he hadn't participated in the Alchemist Gathering before, he had won numerous refining competitions in his previous life. 

The scene felt all too familiar to him. 

Moreover, barring any surprises, the champion of this gathering would most likely still be Xiao Yan. 

Despite some minor twists along the way, Xiao Yan's protagonist halo would inevitably overshadow any obstacles. 

Thinking this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, Xiao Yan's biggest challenge in this competition wouldn't come from the alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire, but from a notable figure from another empire. 

Bored, Mo Yu's Extreme Thunder Silver Eyes lit up slightly as he began searching for the hidden mastermind behind the scenes. 

Under Mo Yu's control, his silver eyes acted like a scanner, rapidly scanning the spiritual energies of nearly a thousand alchemists in the square. 

As Mo Yu's investigation continued, the spiritual energies of the alchemists were laid bare before his eyes, as if the gates to their souls had been left wide open. 

Nearly a thousand alchemists were present, and within Mo Yu's vision, a thousand soul flames appeared. The most dazzling among them was, of course, Xiao Yan at the center of the square. Not only because of his considerable soul strength, but also because of the Green Lotus Core Flame, which shone like a flame in the night, catching Mo Yu's attention. 

Shifting his gaze from Xiao Yan, Mo Yu observed the soul strengths of others like Liu Ling and Yao Yue. While their soul power was decent, there wasn't anything particularly impressive about them. 

After a short while, just as Mo Yu thought that his butterfly effect had caused the hidden troublemaker not to participate in the competition, a faint soul power suddenly caught his attention. 

"So, he deliberately suppressed his soul power. No wonder I couldn't find him for so long." 

Mo Yu's silver eyes brightened. In his perception, that soul power seemed no different from that of an ordinary alchemist. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that although the soul power was extremely faint, it concealed a strength on par with a fourth or even fifth-grade alchemist. 

Locking onto his target, Mo Yu carefully examined the individual. 

In a secluded corner of the square, a figure wrapped in a gray robe was meticulously refining pills. 

Sensing Mo Yu's gaze, the gray-robed figure slightly lifted his head, revealing a pale and youthful face. Beneath the wide-brimmed hat, a pair of faintly glowing blue eyes stared coldly and warily in Mo Yu's direction. 

"Mo Yu, what's wrong?" 

Noticing Mo Yu's gaze, Ya Fei glanced curiously at the square but saw nothing unusual. She then asked with a hint of curiosity. 

"Nothing, just came across someone interesting." 

Mo Yu smiled faintly, having no intention of helping the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association deal with their troubles. 

"Oh..." 

Ya Fei responded softly. After thinking of something, she bit her lip gently and leaned closer to Mo Yu's ear. 

A faint fragrance wafted over as Ya Fei's actions left Mo Yu slightly surprised. However, he didn't stop her. Then, a soft, gentle whisper reached his ear: 

"I have news about the treasure you wanted to restore your bloodline power." 

"What?" 

Mo Yu froze, a trace of delight appearing on his face. He looked intently at Ya Fei, his eyes clearly expressing his eagerness. 

Seeing Mo Yu's joy, a smile also appeared on Ya Fei's lips. Being able to help him made her genuinely happy. 

Leaning closer to his ear once again, Ya Fei whispered, "The business of my Mite-er Clan extends beyond our borders. When I heard you needed a treasure to restore your bloodline power, I utilized our family's connections to search for such items in other empires. 

After many days, some news finally came in. According to reports from an auction house in the Cloud Empire, the Alchemist Association of the Cloud Empire is sending a prominent figure to the Alchemist Gathering, intending to undermine the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association. 

Ordinarily, such disputes between alchemists would have nothing to do with my Mite-er Clan. However, this person possesses an item capable of restoring bloodline power—the Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit!" 

"The Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit... It's a treasure that can restore the most primordial bloodline power. Mo Yu, if you help me obtain it, even against a Dou Zong, I can hold my own!" 

At that moment, a voice filled with urgency echoed in Mo Yu's mind—it was She Lao speaking. 

Hearing this, Mo Yu paused for a moment. After agreeing with She Lao in his heart, he expressed his gratitude to Ya Fei, then shifted his gaze to the alchemist wrapped in gray robes. 

What Ya Fei said was most likely referring to this person, the vice president of the Alchemist Association from the Cloud Empire, Yan Li. 

A trace of coldness flashed in Mo Yu's silver eyes as he muttered to himself, "I originally didn't want to interfere in the power struggle between the Alchemist Associations of these two empires. But since you have something I need, don't blame me for being ruthless..." 

At that moment, the gray-robed youth who was refining pills in the square suddenly shivered. 

A cold, chilling sensation surged through him. Looking around warily, after confirming there was no immediate danger, the gray-robed youth frowned and resumed his alchemy. 

This time, he was determined to make the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association lose face right in their own territory!
