The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2399 - 2388: Nothing More Than a Clown

When the Ghost Venerable was ejected from the Medicine Tower.

Inside the Medicine Saint Hall.

In a deep stone chamber.

The entire air was filled with a fervent aura.

At the center of the chamber were two massive Medicine Cauldrons, and two elders sat before them, while a man who appeared to be around thirty stood beside them.

In the void beside the two Medicine Cauldrons, an image was forming, which was the scene outside the Medicine Tower.

The two elders were none other than the ancestors Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong of Myriad Fire City’s Medicine Saint Hall. Both were early-stage Divine Venerate Realm experts, and their alchemy skills were all Eighth Grade.

Although there were two Eighth Grade Alchemists in the Central Continent, Eighth Grade Alchemists from the Ancient Realm absolutely overwhelmed those from the Central Continent; they couldn’t even be compared.

The man standing beside Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong was the person who passed through the Medicine Tower more than three hundred years ago. He was now their apprentice, with his strength at the late second level of the Heavenly God Realm and alchemical skills at the Seventh Rank. His name was Li Wunian, and though he appeared to be only about thirty, his actual age was at least several hundred to nearly a thousand years old.

"A mere Ghost Venerable wants to pass through the Medicine Tower? It’s sheer arrogance, his Seventh Rank level is not even one percent of mine." Li Wunian’s tone was full of disdain.

Chang Baiwu said, "Wunian, you are the most talented Alchemist I have ever seen. Now that you are already a Seventh Rank Alchemist, you will surpass us sooner or later. The Wus is a sacred place for Alchemists. When the time comes, we will recommend you to enter the Wus, and it’s not impossible for you to step into the Ninth Grade in the future."

Yu Mingsong nodded and said, "There’s hardly anyone who can pass through the Medicine Tower now. If everyone had a disciple with your talent, Alchemistry wouldn’t be as valuable. However, it’s a great sorrow for our Alchemist community that no genius has been born for so many years."

...

While Yu Mingsong and others were chatting in the Medicine Saint Hall.

Ye Chenfeng, Cheng Yuanmu, and others had completely arrived in front of the Medicine Tower, where Ghost Venerable was cowering in a corner, his glowing green eyes in the hood extremely eerie.

Ye Chenfeng asked, "How can one challenge the Medicine Tower?"

Upon hearing this.

Not only Zhang Zhixing, Zhang Chengwen, and Cheng Meizhen were taken aback, but even Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old steward paused slightly; none of them knew that Ye Chenfeng was an Alchemist.

Zhang Chengwen couldn’t help but ask, "Are you an Alchemist? To challenge the Medicine Tower you need to be at least a Fifth-Rank Alchemist. If you are below the Fifth Rank, you won’t last long inside before being ejected."

"Actually, there are no restrictions to challenge the Medicine Tower, you just need to walk into it directly."

As Zhang Chengwen finished speaking.

Ye Chenfeng no longer explained much to Cheng Yuanmu and others. He walked directly toward the Medicine Tower, and in no time, his figure entered the Medicine Tower, even before Zhang Zhixing and others could stop him.

Cheng Meizhen looked at Cheng Yuanmu and said, "Brother, is this young brother Ye an Alchemist?"

Cheng Yuanmu shook his head, "This, this I do not know."

The only one knowing Ye Chenfeng was the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan, Zhang Zhixing, muttered to himself in his heart, "The Dragon Clan Leader is definitely exceptional, he should have some understanding of alchemy, right? So he should be an Alchemist, though, ancient records do not mention the Dragon Clan excelling at alchemy."

The rest of the crowd saw a young kid enter the Medicine Tower, initially intending to leave after Ghost Venerable was ejected, but now stayed with amused expressions.

"Who was that kid who just entered the Medicine Tower? He also wants to challenge it? Isn’t this a joke? Who does he think he is?"

"I guess he thinks he’s Li Wunian from over three hundred years ago. His aura is merely at the Earth God Realm, and from his aura, he should still be young; his exact age can only be confirmed through testing."

"I’d bet this kid is definitely under five hundred years old; such a young kid, not even from the Medicine Saint Hall, he’s likely just an amateur. How high can his alchemy skills be? How long before he’s ejected?"

...

As the discussions continued around.

A large image appeared in the air in front of the Medicine Tower.

Whenever a challenger entered the Medicine Tower.

Everything happening inside the Medicine Tower would be projected to the outside.

The Ghost Venerable, filled with anger, saw Ye Chenfeng enter the Medicine Tower. He had some impression of Ye Chenfeng, remembering him from the city gates of Myriad Fire City. In his eyes, Ye Chenfeng and the others were mere ants; now even an ant dared to challenge the Medicine Tower, which he found utterly ridiculous, waiting for Ye Chenfeng to be ejected. He was almost certain Ye Chenfeng couldn’t even pass the first level of the Medicine Tower.

All eyes were focused on the image projected outside the Medicine Tower.

Meanwhile, in the deep stone chamber of the Medicine Saint Hall.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng enter the Medicine Tower, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong unconsciously shook their heads.

Since Li Wunian’s breakthrough at the Medicine Tower over three hundred years ago, who gained wide fame in the Ancient Realm, many amateur Alchemists attempted the challenge, only to be ejected entirely, with none succeeding.

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong both couldn’t gauge Ye Chenfeng’s Alchemist level, as the Medicine Tower had no mechanism to test alchemical skills.

"Young people nowadays are too restless, unwilling to focus on alchemy study, wanting only to make a name in the Ancient Realm, only to become a joke in the end. It seems we must establish a threshold for challenging the Medicine Saint Hall’s Medicine Tower." Chang Baiwu said calmly.

Yu Mingsong agreed, "We’ve seen Alchemists with decent skills amongst those amateurs, but it’s our first time seeing this kid. I reckon he’s just stepping into alchemy, wishing to try his luck in the Medicine Tower. Not everyone in the Ancient Realm can be another Li Wunian, our disciple’s alchemy talent isn’t far from the geniuses in the Wus’ Alchemist Sacred Land either."

Li Wunian said icily, "Masters, this kid who stepped into the Medicine Tower is just a clown. We need not pay further attention to the Medicine Tower. The Wus will be where my alchemy truly shines. I am determined to become the strongest Alchemist."

Yu Mingsong said, "Though you’re right, Wunian, I’ve always reminded you to avoid arrogance and impatience, maintaining a calm heart is crucial for us Alchemists. During alchemy, if you can’t control your emotions, even a slight fluctuation might cause failure. By looking at these failures, you wouldn’t want to become one."
