Chapter Fifteen: Meeting the Eldest Elder

  In the past stick of incense time, Yi Chi can be said to be both excited and nervous.

  Excitement is because of the feeling of change in one's status, even the usually high and mighty butler is humble and courteous to oneself, tension is because one's father doesn't know what to do, and the anxious heart is uneasy.

  "Hmm."

  A figure flew from afar to the Cloud Rain Pavilion where Yi Chi was, and even with Yi Chi's sharp eyesight, he couldn't quite make out what that figure was. However, after a moment's thought, he knew that the only person who would dare to fly about so boldly in the Yi household was none other than his own father, the master of the Yi household.

  As expected——

  The figure fell in front of Yi Chi, it was Yi Chi's father, Yi Yun, who had been away for a stick of incense.

  Yi Yun looked at Yi Chi with a strange gaze, which made Yi Chi feel very uncomfortable.

  Yi Yun seemed to have noticed Yi Chi's tense emotions and slightly revealed a smile, warmly pulling Yi Chi's hand to one side.

  He returned to instruct the butler to leave, and Yi Yun gazed at Yi Chi slowly saying: "The Supreme Elder wants to see you."

  "What? The Grand Elder wants to see me? Father, you must be joking!" Yi Chi was taken aback and hadn't recovered yet. Hearing his father say that the Grand Elder of the Yi family actually wanted to see him, Yi Chi instinctively felt that something was wrong.

  As expected——

  "I didn't know what the Dan medicine you mentioned was, so I went to ask the Supreme Elder. The Supreme Elder seemed surprised after hearing it and then asked me to bring you to see him." Yi Yun also found it strange that his grandfather wanted to see Yi Chi for no reason, just because of a Dan medicine? Yi Yun couldn't understand it.

  "Alright, stop thinking about it, let's go, hurry up." Yi Yun saw that Yi Chi was still dazed and thinking about something, so in order to avoid making the elder wait impatiently, he grabbed Yi Chi and flew off.

  "Ah!" He hastily grabbed his father and put away his own thoughts. Since he couldn't think it through, he stopped thinking about it. Later on, the Great Elder would naturally tell Yiqi about it.

  This was the first time Yi Chi had ever experienced the feeling of flying. In his past life, sitting on a plane didn't give him this feeling, just sitting in a metal container, what kind of feeling could that be? Now it's different, he's being carried by someone, completely unobstructed.

  "It's so cool, I really want to cultivate to the Dou Wang realm quickly." Because only when you reach the Dou Wang realm can you fly, even if you are a nine-star Dou Ling, you still can't fly.

  "Don't dream on, you're just a one-star warrior now, far from being the Warrior King." Yi Tang seemed to know what Yi Chi was thinking and struck down.

  Yi Chi didn't mind either. He had already discovered that Yi Tang seemed to enjoy hitting people, and now he simply ignored whatever Yi Tang said, pretending not to have heard it at all.

  Jian Yi ignored him and Yi Tang also lost interest and stopped talking.

  "How is it? Doesn't it feel great? You know that once you reach the One-Star Dou Wang, you can fly on your own." A hand holding Yi Chi, Yi Yun said as he flew back to face him.

  That way, it's far from being as serious as usual, and seems to have a somewhat self-satisfied feeling.

  "Ah, Father, I really want to start cultivating quickly. I want to cultivate the 'Mystic Fire Technique'." As he gradually gained a deeper understanding of his father, he realized that he wasn't as stern as he usually seemed, and Yi Chi's words also became more relaxed.

  "Haha, okay, I'll give it to you when I see the Supreme Elder. Hehe, if you're lucky, you might even get to cultivate the Supreme Elder's exclusive Qi secret recipe, which is a great thing of Xuan-level middle grade quality. Your father cultivates this too, but the Supreme Elder doesn't allow me to pass it on, otherwise, I would have given it to you already."

  Yi Yun himself liked people who were straightforward and easy-going. In the past, whenever Yi Chi saw him, he always seemed very reserved, so over time, his affection for Yi Chi wasn't as strong as before. He just felt that this younger son didn't resemble him at all.

  However, after only two days, he found that his little son had changed a lot. Not only did he learn to fight, but he also became bolder and more daring. According to his subordinates, this kid went crazy for the entire afternoon yesterday and didn't return until nightfall, which was something that never happened before.

  Yi Yun noticed that his youngest son's personality had changed, and he increasingly favored Yi Chi. If it weren't for his grandfather not allowing him to pass on the secret manual of Dou Qi, he would have given it to Yi Chi.

  "And that's the case? It turns out that our family's strongest is only a mid-grade Xuan-level! Haha, doesn't that mean we're stronger than the other three families?" Yi Chi was also delighted, thinking that he might be able to cultivate this Dou Qi secret manual too. Although it was only one grade apart, but this tiny gap of just one grade was actually very difficult to bridge.

  "That's natural, how can the three families compare to our Yi family? Alright, now speak carefully, Elder Tai Shang likes quietness. Look, up ahead is the Xuanhuo Cave." Yi Yun smiled proudly and saw the tall Xuanhuo Peak from afar, then reminded Yi Chi.

  He knew that his grandfather's temper was as fiery as his attribute, and he would fight to the death if he didn't agree. Now, looking at this young son who was so pleasing to the eye, he didn't want him to get into trouble.

  "Alright, got it, thanks Dad." Yi Chi smiled and said softly.

  "Haha, you little scamp, I didn't think you had such a clever streak." Yi Yun smiled and teased, then descended onto a platform.

  Yi Chi also became serious, he observed that this was the back mountain of Yi's mansion, unexpectedly there was such a high peak, at least two thousand meters high.

  "Go, let's go in." He pulled up Yi Chi and Yi Yun slowly walked into the Xuanhuo Cave.

  The walls of the Xuanhuo Cave were dark red and emitted hot air. As soon as Yi Chi entered, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.

  "It's really hot here! No wonder it's called the Mysterious Fire Cave. I don't know what kind of rocks these are, but they're actually emitting heat." Yi Chi followed behind his father, Yi Yun, as he walked forward, observing the situation inside the cave.

  After walking for about half a stick of incense time, Yi Chi followed Yi Yun into a place similar to a grand hall.

  "What a huge cave!" Yi Chi looked at the originally five-meter-diameter passageway that had turned into a hundred-meter-diameter cave, with a face full of wonder.

  This cave is over a hundred meters high and about two hundred meters in front of the Easy Pool, where an old man with red hair sits upright on a huge crimson boulder.

  "This old man hasn't changed at all!" Although he had only seen him a few times when he was young, the appearance of Tai Shang Lao Lao was still firmly etched in Yi Chi's memory.

  Who would have thought that among all the people Yi Chi had seen, only he was the one with red hair? How could he forget?

  ......

  Yi Yun walked up and pulled Yi Chi to bow down together.

  "See the Senior Elder."

  The red-haired Taishang Elder finally opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

  "Are you the lucky kid who ate 'Zi Luo Dan'?" The Supreme Elder asked Yi Chi.

  "Yes." Yi Chi dared not have anything else, and answered truthfully.

  "Alright, come over." The Supreme Elder instructed Yi Chi.

  Yi Chi was perplexed, but the other party was a senior elder of the Tai Shang Sect, a Dou Zong-level expert. Yi Chi didn't dare to be presumptuous and could only obediently pass by.

  "Isn't he an old glass? Looking at how handsome I am, wanting to wrap me up?" Yi Chi thought maliciously.

  His footsteps, however, did not stop until he reached the Taishang Elder.

  Nor did he see any movement from the elder, but he saw that his hand was already on Yi Chi's shoulder.

  "It's all over! He really has that tendency! What should I do? Fight back to the death? Or just surrender?"

  Just as Yi Chi was still lost in thought, the Supreme Elder had already nodded and withdrawn his hand.

  "Well, isn't that great, the young Zi Luo Dan is indeed very lucky!" The Supreme Elder's face was filled with delight as he stroked his red beard repeatedly.

  "What? Just for this? You scared me to death." Yi Chi saw that the Supreme Elder was only trying to see if he had eaten that purple lotus thing, and not what he thought, and immediately felt relieved.

  The tense expression on his face also disappeared.

  On one side, Yi Yun saw his grandfather nodding in confirmation and walked forward to ask: "Taishang Elder, what exactly is the 'Zi Luo Dan'?"

  "Heh heh, Little Cloud, don't be too formal, I'm not that stubborn. And you, young one, don't be nervous either, I've seen you when you were still wearing open-crotch pants." The Supreme Elder seemed to have made up his mind and no longer had a serious expression on his face, instead standing up with a smile.

  "Ugh, still wearing split pants! Luckily it wasn't me back then." Yi Chi hastily felt relieved that his transmigration was relatively late, otherwise he would have been seen through by this lecherous old man.

  "Haha, don't give me that look. You've seen it, so what? You're not a girl." The extremely disrespectful Elder said to Yi Yun with an embarrassed face.

  "Cough, cough, as for this Zi Luo Dan, it's a great treasure that can revive the dead and transform one's body, with effects like those of a legendary divine medicine." The old man had an air of 'I know a lot' about him, which made Yi Chi feel annoyed.

  "Nowadays, on the mainland, at most, you can only refine a Heaven-grade elixir, and that's still a low-quality one. Who would have thought that there would be a Divine-grade elixir? I didn't believe it at first, but after examining your body just now, I confirmed that you indeed consumed the Divine-grade elixir 'Zi Luo Dan'. You little brat, how did you get so lucky?" The old man looked at Yi Chi with an expression as if he had stepped on dog poop.

  Yi Chi knew that he didn't eat the Zi Luo Dan, but rather Yi Tang helped him. He guessed that his body's healing and the effects of the Zi Luo Dan were similar, so the Tai Shang Lao mistakenly thought he had eaten the Zi Luo Dan.

  On this continent, not only is strength divided into levels, but these elixirs are also divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Being able to refine a low-grade Heaven-level elixir already makes one almost a top-tier alchemist on the continent. As for anything better or the legendary Divine-level elixirs, those can only be admired from afar.

  "Hehe, good luck, good luck." Yi Chi had a 'I'm very embarrassed' look on his face.

  "Hehe, luck is also a part of one's strength." The Elder Above smiled with an 'I have high hopes for you' expression.

  The corners of Yue Yi Chi's eyes twitched.
