The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

In just ten days, Chen Dong furiously studied the Wangyou Realm’s alchemy, marveling at what he learned. ’As expected of a world where Spiritual Qi is more active than back home.’ The complexity of the elixir ingredients here, at the Golden Core Stage, was astounding compared to the Profound Pill Realm’s equivalent. Lost in his obsessive research, the ten days passed in a flash.

As Chen Dong waited, the skeletal Gu Chuan Zhenren approached his room, accompanied by a young cultivator with unusually colored hair and eyes.

The cultivator had short blue hair and blue eyes, and his aura was even more formidable than Gu Chuan Zhenren’s. He stared at Chen Dong and asked coldly, ”You are Chen Dong?”

Chen Dong nodded. ’This man is undoubtedly another Golden Core Cultivator.’

”Where is the third stage of the replicated Drunken Immortal Brew?”

Chen Dong presented a wine jar he had prepared the day before.

The young cultivator lifted the jar without hesitation and took a large gulp, completely unafraid that Chen Dong might have tampered with it.

”Impressive. The taste and potency are nearly identical!”

At this, Gu Chuan Zhenren spoke in a surprisingly fawning tone, ”Congratulations, Daoist, on obtaining such a talent! With him, we’ll have an endless stream of wealth, comparable to excavating a massive Spirit Stone Vein!”

’What? A Daoist!’

Alarm bells instantly shrieked in Chen Dong’s mind. ’Mu Qingzhu just told me a Daoist had emerged from seclusion, and I’ve already run into him?’

The blue-haired Daoist’s lips curved into a slight smile as he asked Chen Dong, ”What’s the production cost of this wine?”

Chen Dong didn’t answer, bowing instead. ”If I may ask, to which sect does the Daoist belong?”

Gu Chuan Zhenren froze, then said in astonishment, ”You don’t recognize Daoist Zhang Jun?”

When Chen Dong heard the name was Zhang Jun, he relaxed. He then gave a casual shake of his head.

”Zhang Jun, the current Daoist of the Yun Gu Sect! He possesses the Thunder Toad bloodline, and his lightning arts are powerful enough to shatter armies! And you’ve never heard of him?” Gu Chuan Zhenren boasted shamelessly.

Chen Dong bowed again and replied, ”My apologies. This one is ignorant. I don’t know any of the five great Daoists!”
