As the most important event in the entire Jiama Empire, the Alchemist Conference naturally attracted all the prominent figures.
The three great families, the Alchemist Guild, and even the royal family...
The Yunlan Sect's usual style would have seldom involved in such a high-profile event, and in the original novel, Yun Yun didn't even appear at the conference.
However, due to Mo Tang's relationship, Yun Yun made an exception this time.
Her sole purpose was to show that this handsome man was under her wing. "You guys, be careful when you see him next time and don't harbor any ill intentions..."
After the Alchemist Guild President, the three great family patriarchs, the Royal Guardians, and other prominent figures in the empire arrived, Yun Yun's presence attracted even more attention.
"Why is she here?"
Jia Xingtian, the Royal Guardian, was the first to frown.
Not far away, Fa Ma, the Alchemist Guild President, a contemporary of Jia Xingtian, also looked surprised. Then, looking at Yun Yun and Jia Xingtian, his expression grew solemn.
Meanwhile, in the conference hall,
Masters Frank and Otto, who had met Mo Tang several times in Black Rock City, entered with their respective disciples.
Beside them stood a handsome, rather mysterious young man in a black robe.
"Look, that's the president of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild, Master Fa Ma!
He rarely appears at the guild these days...
but now, I hear he's almost reaching the level of a sixth-grade alchemist. In the Jia Ma Empire's alchemy world, Master Fa Ma's reputation rivals even that of the Pill King Gu He!
Even Gu He had to be polite to Master Fa Ma. Back when Gu He was young, Master Fa Ma took great care of him. It's no exaggeration to say he was a benefactor..."
Otto whispered to Xiao Yan, looking at the elderly man in a purple alchemist robe.
Xiao Yan was also amazed at the old man.
But then, Yao Lao's voice suddenly echoed in his ears, saying, "It's this little fellow! Back when he was traveling around the continent, I saw he had some talent and gave him some pointers. I never imagined he wouldn't even break through to the Sixth Rank yet..."
Xiao Yan was speechless, feeling as though his teacher was quietly putting on a fresh and refined front again...
When they reached a spot not far from Fa Mammoth, they followed his gaze and spotted Yun Yun and Mo Tang on the other side...
"Sure enough! That fellow... and that woman, are they the female Dou Huang from the Warcraft Mountains? They're from the same group! Teacher?"
Xiao Yan, upon recognizing Yun Yun, was startled and began to call out for his teacher.
Unfortunately, there were more than one Dou Huang-level expert present, and Yao Lao didn't dare show himself at this moment, so he remained silent. Xiao Yan,
realizing this, didn't panic, but instead felt a little puzzled by the presence of the Yunlan Sect's members.
"Could it be because of me..."
Xiao Yan felt a little overly sentimental.
Besides, he was only a Rock Owl now, not Xiao Yan, and he didn't think anyone here would recognize him.
Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, but the man with the Yunlan Sect leader, the one named Mo Tang, suddenly turned his gaze and gave him a vague nod...
Xiao Yan was startled. When he looked again, he had already averted his gaze and resumed his lively conversation with the beautiful Yunlan Sect leader.
"Is it just my imagination?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan gathered his thoughts and, through Frank and the others' introduction, met Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild.
Without the added bonus of the strange fire, Xiao Yan was no longer as important in the eyes of the Alchemist Guild.
However, with the help and encouragement of Yao Lao, Xiao Yan had finally ascended to the rank of a third-grade alchemist. Even at his age, he still attracted the attention of Frank and Otto, who invited him to represent the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild branch at the conference.
While the harmony between the various factions in the VIP section wasn't as apparent as it appeared, proper etiquette and courtesy were still essential at such a time.
Although Yun Yun was the leader of the Yunlan Sect, her personality meant she wasn't the type to be aggressive. So, when meeting Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma, who were once of the same generation as her teacher Yun Shan, she was quite polite.
Following Yun Yun, Mo Tang had become somewhat familiar to these imperial leaders. However, with the exception of Nalan Su, whose daughter was Yun Yun's personal disciple, the others' attitudes shone with a certain insincereness.
Of course, Mitel Tengshan, the member of the Mitel family who had come this time, knew Mo Tang, but due to Hai Bodong's relationship, he couldn't disclose this special relationship for the time being, so he didn't show much enthusiasm.
As the meeting was about to begin, everyone took their seats again.
However, this time, Mo Tang would no longer sit with Yun Yun.
Glancing at Yun Yun, who was sitting with Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and the others, Mo Tang didn't show any dissatisfaction, but settled comfortably in his seat.
Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance wafted from his side.
Although he had little experience, Mo Tang was sure that this was not a natural fragrance, but the body odor of a woman's body...
"Haha, Mr. Mo, we meet again."
A smiling face appeared in Mo Tang's sight, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.
"It's an honor to meet Miss Yafei again," Mo Tang quickly replied, having snapped back to his senses.
Meanwhile, on his other side, a tall, slender woman in a luxurious brocade robe sat down.
"Hello, Mr. Mo,"
the cold, beautiful woman fixed her beautiful eyes on Mo Tang, gracefully extending her hand and smiling. That fleeting smile made Mo Tang lose his composure.
Mo Tang also recognized this woman; she was Yao Ye, the eldest princess of the royal family, a woman of extraordinary skill.
"Hello, Princess Yao Ye,"
Mo Tang politely returned the greeting, briefly shaking her hand.
Seeing this, Ya Fei's sparkling eyes narrowed slightly.
Both goddess-level figures in the Holy City of Gama, they were well aware of each other's backgrounds.
Princess Yaoye was able to command the empire's 50,000 elite troops as a woman, and Yafei was able to control the real power in the Miter family with her own means as a woman. It can be seen that both of them are not simple women.
Sitting between these two women, Mo Tang suddenly found that he did not have the happiness of being surrounded by beauties. Instead, he felt a little uncomfortable...
Especially when he felt the vague gaze coming from a certain direction, Mo Tang felt that his forehead was black at this moment, and he had a premonition of impending disaster!
