603. The Legend of Wang Yun
Upon hearing the name, the others didn't react much, but Wei Jiangyuan immediately realized, "Wang Yun, Qinglin, are you sure that's the name?"
Qinglin nodded seriously. Her information came from Mingmei, who was already a powerful figure from the previous era. Things that Mingmei approved of were definitely not problematic.
"Who is Wang Yun? I've never heard of him before," Lei Jingxiao asked dismissively.
After a moment's thought, Wei Jiangyuan replied, "Wang Yun was a very early alchemist, but exactly how long ago is impossible to verify. I only learned bits and pieces about Wang Yun from my teacher, and all I know is that he was an unconventional alchemist. Not only was his alchemy skill superb, but his strength was also extremely formidable, unlike ordinary alchemists who are physically weak."
"Moreover, Wang Yun is not from Zhongzhou. He was born in an empire in the southwest of the continent called the Nan Jing Empire." Wei Jiangyuan's eyes also showed longing at this moment: "According to what the teacher said, he must also be a senior who has touched the limit of alchemy."
Dan Chen, no longer hesitant, took the initiative to continue, adding, "I had some doubts at first, but now that I have information about Young Master Wei, it's basically confirmed. Wang Yun is an anomaly among alchemists; he can transform thousands of miles of yellow sand into a dense forest in an instant."
"This does indeed match up with the matter of the Source Spirit Crystal." Xiao Yan also pondered. Ling Zhuo's Source Spirit Crystal could indeed manipulate the power of life, and they had all personally witnessed how one after another, high-grade pills would turn to ashes in his hands in an instant.
"To control so many plants in the blink of an eye, one must already be a Saint-level expert." Mu Qingluan's tone was full of envy.
As the story unfolded, the young people at the table listened with great interest, yet also felt a completely different emotion. They were already somewhat proud of their own strength, but Wei Jiangyuan's narration made them suddenly realize that only by becoming a powerful figure like Wang Yun, whose words, even after countless years of death, could remain in the world for future generations to understand and explore, could one truly say that their life had not been in vain.
"That's amazing?" Lei Jingxiao was also somewhat tempted: "I'll go treasure hunting in the Southern Jing Empire when I have time!"
"He was just born in the Southern Jing Empire. Let alone whether his legacy can be preserved, do you even know what kind of strength he had in life? You're going to go? If you actually find any ancient ruins, you'll bury them all!" This kind of "criticism" of Lei Jingxiao was naturally from Wei Jiangyuan.
Perhaps the other people's reactions weren't strong enough, while Lei Jingxiao was a powder keg that would explode at the slightest provocation. So, Wei Jiangyuan had been enjoying teasing Lei Jingxiao lately, not stopping until he was thoroughly provoked.
"But it's good for you to go out and about. After all, staying in your ThunderClan all the time is making your brain go dull."
Seeing Wei Jiangyuan relentlessly attacking, Yao Qingyu smiled at Lei Jingxiao and said, "Little Lei, how about we team up and give this annoying guy a good beating later?"
"Haha, I couldn't be happier!"
"Hey, how can you be so biased towards outsiders like that, Qingyu?"
"What do I have to do with you? I just find you incredibly annoying."
The three of them then started making a scene and got off the table to the side.
Seeing this scene, Little Fairy Doctor chuckled, then whispered to Xiao Yan, "Should we stop them?"
"They're just joking, let them be!"
Little Fairy Doctor then nodded, "Why was our young master listening so attentively just now? Are you interested?"
Xiao Yan had mentioned to Little Fairy Doctor that after he had settled everything, he wanted to travel across the entire continent and see the mysterious relics scattered throughout the land. Therefore, considering Xiao Yan's behavior just now, Little Fairy Doctor subconsciously assumed that Xiao Yan was attracted by the mysterious powerhouse Wang Yun they had mentioned.
"No, it's just that I'm amazed at how vast this continent is, with so many powerful people gathered here, as numerous as the sea. We are actually quite insignificant in the grand scheme of things."
"I don't think so." Little Fairy Doctor smiled playfully. "This is only temporary. I believe that the person I choose will definitely stand at the top of this continent, and even those who are remembered in history cannot compare to him."
Seeing Xiao Yan about to speak, she quickly silenced him with a shrimp: "Back in Qingshan Town, a certain black-clad youth couldn't even beat a low-level member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group." She poked his chest with her slender white fingers. "And now? Champion of the Pill Refining Competition, an eighth-grade alchemist, the young master of the Starfall Pavilion—"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled softly.
"Let me tell you a secret," a warm breath brushed against his ear, "I did some astrological readings last night and learned that you will reach a realm above the Saint level in the future."
Xiao Yan was both amused and exasperated: "When did you start believing in this?"
"From the moment you cured me of the calamity poison," Little Fairy Doctor sat up straight, drawing stars on the table with her fingertips dipped in wine. "Look, this is where you are now." She then dragged a long trail of wine into the distance. "By the time our kids are old enough to run errands, you'll have left all those Wang Yunling and Zhuo a million miles behind!"
The two then looked at each other and burst out laughing; this was naturally a playful remark between them.
The topic of Wang Yun was too broad and far-fetched, so soon everyone returned to the present. This time, the protagonist was no longer Xiao Yan, but Lei Jingxiao.
After all, there were only three men at the celebration banquet. Lei Jingxiao stood out as the only one present, as he was still single.
Xiao Yan's feelings are very clear; he and Xiao Yi Xian already have a child, and he's about to become a father. Those with sensitive hearts can also sense Qing Lin's unique attention towards Xiao Yan. Therefore, Xiao Yan's emotional life is complex, leaving him with absolutely no free time.
The playful bickering between Wei Jiangyuan and Yao Qingyu is a reflection of their relationship; no one would believe that there was no connection between them.
However, Lei Jingxiao had stayed in the Lei Clan for many years, and given his personality of caring about almost nothing except fighting, he truly had no intention of having a beloved.
Meanwhile, many of the women present approached Lei Jingxiao, seemingly wanting to see what experiments this young man from the Lei clan would do.
Yao Qingyu first asked Lei Jingxiao directly, "Little Lei, what kind of girl do you like? Our Flower Sect is full of beauties, with all kinds of personalities and looks. If you like someone, I'll introduce you to one!"
Every woman present turned her attention to this place.
