Chapter 153: East Sea Coast, East Sea City!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After flying for tens of thousands of miles, Shen Ran, Liu Nanzhi, Zhao Honglian, and the others finally arrived at the East Sea City on the Coast of the East Sea.
From the East Sea City, one could see an endless sea in the distance. This East Sea City had evolved from that sea.
After getting out of the carriage, the three of them walked into the city.
During this period, Liu Nanzhi also said with a smile, “I heard that East Sea City depends on the sea for a living. There must be a lot of delicious seafood in the city. Your Highness, we have to try it later.”
When Zhao Honglian heard this, the competition between the two of them did not seem to have ended. She also said, “Your Highness, you should eat less seafood. I heard that it’s not good to eat too much seafood.”
The two of them were about to start.
Shen Ran could not help but quicken his pace.
Fortunately, a figure appeared directly in front of them and interrupted the argument that was about to begin.
The person was wearing a blue robe. His face was slightly rough, and what was striking was his skin.
His skin was very fair, even fairer than a woman’s.
At this moment, he was looking at Shen Ran and the others with a smile and respect.
“I’ve long heard that His Highness Shen of the Empyrean Sword Sect is a dragon among men. Seeing him today, he lives up to his reputation.”
“I’m Lin Tianhai, also the City Lord of East Sea City.”
Lin Tianhai introduced himself with a smile.
Before Shen Ran could say anything, Lin Tianhai said, “His Highness Shen defeated countless geniuses of the Southern Region in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm and even obtained the Heavenly Flame. This matter has long spread throughout the entire Southern Region.”
“It’s my honor to meet Your Highness.”
“Moreover, Your Highness is a top-notch alchemist. We can look forward to a future alchemy master.”
“Among his peers in the Southern Region, His Highness must be standing at the peak…”
Lin Tianhai began to flatter Shen Ran.
This was natural because the East Sea City was only a small place. Naturally, they did not dare to provoke a colossus like the Empyrean Sword Sect.
Besides, they could not wait to curry favor with him.
Hearing Lin Tianhai’s flattery, Shen Ran raised his hand to interrupt.
If he let Lin Tianhai continue to flatter him, he would praise him to the skies.
At this moment, Lin Tianhai said with a smile, “After knowing that His Highness Shen is coming, I specially prepared a banquet for His Highness to try the delicacies of the East Sea.”
Shen Ran did not refuse. He also wanted to try the delicacies here.
“This is good too. Let’s rest first.”
Hearing Shen Ran agree, the smile on Lin Tianhai’s face widened and he made an inviting gesture.
Then Shen Ran and the other two followed Lin Tianhai.
On the way, Lin Tianhai did not forget to praise him.
“By the way, Your Highness, I heard that Your Highness is quite knowledgeable in alchemy. Last month, I happened to recruit an alchemist. I’ll take this opportunity to ask him to come and learn from Your Highness tonight. I wonder if Your Highness has time?”
Shen Ran nodded at such a small matter and did not refuse.
At this moment, Lin Tianhai was also thinking that since he could curry favor with the Empyrean Sword Sect, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the alchemist to Shen Ran. If the alchemist could learn a little, even the superficial knowledge would be enough.
…
This was because the banquet was tomorrow night. After Lin Tianhai sent Shen Ran and the others to the City Lord Residence to rest, he ran out immediately.
He was naturally going to invite his good friend, the alchemist.
At this moment, in a luxurious mansion in the East Sea City.
Whiffs of elixir fragrance wafted out of the room.
“It’s done!”
An old gratified voice sounded.
“After a month of seclusion, your temperament has finally stabilized.”
The Flame Emperor’s voice sounded.
Then a person in green clothes walked out with a smile on his handsome face.
He was Xiao Han, who had failed to compete with Shen Ran in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm a month ago and fled dejectedly.
After leaving, he came to the East Sea City.
Under Elder Yan’s guidance, Xiao Han’s alchemy skills became famous throughout the entire East Sea City.
A month ago, he accidentally met the City Lord of East Sea City and his alchemy skills were recognized by the City Lord. The two of them also established a good relationship.
At the same time, many people in the outside world were praising him for being very talented in alchemy. Coupled with his relationship with the City Lord, they were all very polite to him.
The praises from the people around him this month made Xiao Han forget his failure in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm.
After Xiao Han forgot about those failures, he became calm and successfully refined the pill. He began to smile again.
The Flame Emperor in the ring said, “The mystic realm is about to open. You have to prepare for the Heavenly Flame early.”
Xiao Han nodded emphatically.
Just as Elder Yan was about to say something, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
“Brother Xiao.”
“Looks like Brother Xiao’s alchemy attainments have broken through again.”
Smelling the fragrance of elixirs in the air, Lin Tianhai congratulated him.
Looking at Lin Tianhai, who was walking over, Xiao Han smiled. “I was lucky. I was just lucky to succeed.”
“City Lord Lin, why are you here today?”
Lin Tianhai immediately said, “It’s like this. The expert of the Empyrean Sword Sect had come to East Sea City as guests. I’m holding a banquet at the City Lord Residence tomorrow night and want to invite you to go with me.”
Hearing Lin Tianhai’s words, Xiao Han did not bother. He did not take this Empyrean Sword Sect to heart and did not have any good feelings.
At this moment, Lin Tianhai’s next words caught his attention.
“Not only is this person an expert of the Empyrean Sword Sect, but he also has very high attainments in alchemy. Perhaps he can give you some pointers.”
“With his guidance, Brother Xiao will become an alchemy master in the future.”
Hearing this, Xiao Han’s eyes lit up.
He couldn’t help but look forward to it.
He had practiced alchemy with the Flame Emperor, the Ancient True Emperor.
However, because the Flame Emperor was mainly very proficient in dealing with Heavenly Flames, his alchemy skills were a little lacking.
According to Lin Tianhai, if he could really obtain the guidance of that alchemy master, it would definitely be very helpful to him in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han looked at Lin Tianhai and nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, City Lord. I’ll definitely be there for the banquet tomorrow.”
When Lin Tianhai heard this, he smiled and cupped his hands.
“Then I’ll be waiting for you, Brother Xiao.”
After saying this, Lin Tianhai turned around and left.
As Lin Tianhai left, Xiao Han blinked and pondered for a moment. “Since I want to see the alchemy master, I naturally can’t go empty-handed.”
But ordinary things don’t catch the eye of such a top notch alchemy master…
At this point, Xiao Han’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“That’s right. Coincidentally, there’s a long auction in the city. Moreover, it’s said that there’s a certain precious spiritual herb. I can go and take a look.”
Thinking of this, Xiao Han no longer hesitated and hurriedly went to prepare a gift for this alchemy master he had never met.
