After being taken in by Fan Qianrong, Shen Tingyu expresses concern about Ye Chenfeng's unknown background. Ye Chenfeng reveals he is from outside the Divine Origin Realm, which Fan Qianrong confirms. Shen Tingyu tests Ye Chenfeng's knowledge of Spirit Grass and his ability to control a flame, suspecting he is hiding his alchemist abilities.

Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu couldn’t sense Ye Chenfeng’s aura as a Supreme Alchemist.

As the Heaven and Earth Flame, the purple flame could of course be sensed, with a temperature only at the Initial Stage of the Heavenly God Realm.

Both Supreme Alchemists and Supreme Artifact Refiners are experts at fire control, and now Ye Chenfeng is a Dual Master.

Although the purple flame hasn’t developed its Spiritual Wisdom, it instinctively fears Ye Chenfeng as a Dual Master.

So, after falling into Ye Chenfeng’s hands, the purple flame obediently allowed him to control it.

Ye Chenfeng let the purple flame leap in his palm, and he looked at Shen Tingyu, asking, "Ten breaths have passed, have I met your requirements yet?"

Ye Chenfeng flicked his fingers, and the purple flame returned to Shen Tingyu’s palm.

Shen Tingyu looked at the purple flame leaping in her palm, "Master, what exactly is going on? How can he control the purple flame? Could he be an Alchemist?"

Fan Qianrong shook his head confidently, "Impossible, unless he is a Supreme Alchemist, he wouldn’t be able to control a Heaven and Earth Flame that has been refined by another and isn’t too powerful."

"I also tested him with the Jade Token earlier. Are you suggesting this youngster is a Supreme Alchemist? Even if he were a Supreme Alchemist, the purple flame you have refined would struggle if it fell into his hands and wouldn’t remain unresponsive from the start. If he’s a Dual Master, then there’s indeed a possibility."

Dual Master?

Supreme Alchemist and Supreme Artifact Refiner?

This sounds utterly absurd, and Shen Tingyu immediately dismissed Fan Qianrong’s hypothesis.

"Youngster, how did you do that?" Fan Qianrong stared at Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng pretended to be puzzled, "I don’t know either. I just felt a sense of familiarity with the flame when it fell into my hand."

Fan Qianrong frowned, pondering for a moment, "Is this some kind of natural affinity for the Heaven and Earth Flame? Such a strange phenomenon has never been heard of since the Chaos Era."

After muttering to himself, Fan Qianrong said, "From now on, you will be our attendant. Of course, you can also learn alchemy from me. If you embark on the path of an Alchemist, I might take you as my disciple."

Shen Tingyu knew her master least liked accepting disciples. She was able to become Fan Qianrong’s disciple partly due to her remarkable talent in alchemy and partly because the patriarch of her family had some ties with Fan Qianrong.

Now, Fan Qianrong was essentially considering accepting Ye Chenfeng as a disciple. With Ye Chenfeng’s "affinity" for the Heaven and Earth Flame, he might soon cross onto the path of an Alchemist.

Shen Tingyu didn’t envy Ye Chenfeng; his unique ability piqued her curiosity greatly. Having a junior disciple in the future would be a nice prospect.

The reason Shen Tingyu initially opposed making Ye Chenfeng their attendant was entirely due to Fan Qianrong’s hasty decision. Now, after the test, Ye Chenfeng truly deserved to be an attendant and would certainly become an Alchemist later. Besides, Fan Qianrong confirmed that Ye Chenfeng hailed from outside the Divine Origin Realm.

Ye Chenfeng felt no waves of emotion in his heart towards Fan Qianrong’s words. After all, he was a dignified Supreme Alchemist.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s expressionless face, Fan Qianrong thought Ye Chenfeng was too exhilarated to react, "Let’s go! Join us on a trip to the Middle Realm."

Ye Chenfeng sighed lightly, "Before heading to the Middle Realm, could we first make a trip to the Blood Origin Sect in the Lower Realm?"

He raised his right hand, where the Dark Blood Scepter adhered, "This is a dark Immortal Artifact from the Blood Origin Sect, but for some reason, it’s stuck to my hand and can’t be detached. I suspect only by visiting the Blood Origin Sect can we discover the answer, and it won’t take too much time."

Fan Qianrong pressed his palm onto the Dark Blood Scepter, perceiving it carefully before saying, "There is a consciousness within this scepter. It seems the only way to detach it from your hand is to find the owner of this consciousness."

"I’ll accompany you to the Blood Origin Sect first, and then we’ll head to the Middle Realm afterward."

Ye Chenfeng had demonstrated his power to control flames, which deeply moved Fan Qianrong, sparking thoughts of taking him as a disciple. Ye Chenfeng’s exhibition of power also led Fan Qianrong to agree to visit the sect.

Fan Qianrong brought Ye Chenfeng and Long Gaoyuan aboard the Spirit Boat and gave them Healing Pills.

The group quickly made their way to the Blood Origin Sect, utilizing Teleportation Arrays across the Lower Realm. It didn’t even take a day.

When Fan Qianrong and his company arrived at the Blood Origin Sect, Ye Chenfeng’s Spiritual Energy had recovered considerably. Although his injuries hadn’t fully healed, he could at least move around independently.

Long Gaoyuan’s injuries were more severe, forcing him to remain on the Spirit Boat to rest.

Fan Qianrong anchored the Spirit Boat in the sky, activating its defense mechanism so he would be alerted at once if attacked.

Fan Qianrong, Shen Tingyu, and Ye Chenfeng descended onto the Blood Origin Sect’s plaza.

Fan Qianrong soon sensed the thick formations arranged in the Blood Origin Sect’s back mountain, indicating something strange hidden there.

As they landed on the plaza, the Blood Origin Sect’s Elders and disciples crowded around them,

Fan Qianrong had no interest in exchanging words with these people and merely stated, "If you don’t want to die, get far away."

Immediately, the aura of a Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm exploded from him.

When Du Wan He and others died before, their Lifebound Tokens had already shattered, making the sect aware that their patriarch and Sect Master had perished. With a Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm expert present, their resistance was futile.

The Blood Origin Sect was already in turmoil, with Elders and disciples on the plaza standing motionless.

Fan Qianrong led Ye Chenfeng and Shen Tingyu towards the back mountain of the Blood Origin Sect.

With Fan Qianrong here, Ye Chenfeng chose not to display his formation mastery, leaving the task to them to break the formations.

Fan Qianrong’s formation mastery was exceptional, carefully unraveling the formations in the sect’s back mountain.

As they approached the cave entrance, the air became laden with the scent of blood, causing Shen Tingyu beside Fan Qianrong to furrow her brows.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes narrowed suddenly as a mysterious voice echoed in his mind, "I’ve waited for you a long time, you are the one I was waiting for."

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu, confident that neither had heard the voice.
