I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 1884 It’s Unknown Who Will Catch Who

Under the stimulation of the middle-grade spirit stones, the Thousand Treasures Pavilion quickly sprung into action. In less than four hours, all kinds of ingredients had been gathered in the camp of the external army.

Such a speed was shocking, because many ingredients were transported from hundreds of thousands of miles away through teleportation arrays. The cost of using teleportation arrays alone was extremely shocking.

Therefore, although the Thousand Treasures Pavilion had increased the fee by 50%, Chu Yunfan still had to owe them a favor. He understood that the reason why the Thousand Treasures Pavilion would help him find those ingredients at such a favorable price was because they saw his potential.

This was understandable, and it was also the reason why Chu Yunfan had to show off his talent. This was a world of great competition, after all. If one wanted to become the most outstanding person, it was impossible to cultivate in seclusion only. Such a person would not be valued at all, and the acquisition of various resources would be many times slower than others.

In a situation where their aptitudes were similar, the development of both sides was simply worlds apart. Not to mention that the Thousand Treasures Pavilion would spend a lot of effort to find all kinds of ingredients for him.

When the ingredients were delivered, Chu Yunfan immediately took out 30 million medium-grade spirit stones and handed them over to Wan Sanqian in a spatial bag. Wan Sanqian didnʼt even count the stone and put it way. Chu Yunfan wouldnʼt possibly lie about such things, or he would damage his entire reputation.

”General Chu, weʼve gathered all the ingredients you wanted. Weʼve been really busy, and fortunately, we didnʼt fail you.” Wan Sanqian smiled.

”I owe the Thousand Treasures Pavilion a huge favor for this. I will repay it in the future,” Chu Yunfan said.

”General Chu, do you not need our help?” Wan Sanqian asked, ”There are some small things that the Thousand Treasures Pavilion can do with our ability, such as transmitting information.”

”What do you know?” Chu Yunfanʼs eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

Wan Sanqianʼs face revealed an awkward expression as he said, ”Please forgive us for making the decision without permission. As far as we know, there seem to be many people nearby who are hostile toward you. You canʼt send any news, right? If you need it, we can help you send out word on your behalf.”

Wan Sanqian cursed in his heart. Chu Yunfan had asked for these ingredients in a hurry. It was obvious that something had happened. Wan Sanqian then arranged for someone to investigate the matter, and once he looked into it, he was shocked.

There were many experts hidden around Baotai. Even the Thousand Treasures Pavilion experts that Wan Sanqian sent out were almost killed. He wasnʼt even sure of what the higher-ups had found. He was only the pavilion master of a branch office, and his authority was limited to the area around Baotai.

The higher-ups had sent someone to warn him that he could help Chu Yunfan collect ingredients, but he should refrain from helping any further. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

However, Wang Sanqian couldnʼt keep quiet and insisted on helping Chu Yunfan. Although he didnʼt know what kind of trouble Chu Yunfan had gotten into, he was very optimistic about Chu Yunfanʼs future.

Of course, it was impossible for him to go against the mastermind for Chu Yunfan, but if he were to use his own channels to spread the news, it would be a very simple matter.

Chu Yunfan glanced at Wan Sanqian and said, ”Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wan, but thereʼs no need for that for the time being.”

Chu Yunfan didnʼt know if this was Wan Sanqianʼs own decision or the Thousand Treasures Pavilionʼs instructions, Chu Yunfan still accepted Wan Sanqianʼs intentions.

When Wan Sanqian heard Chu Yunfan call him ”Brother Wan,” he naturally understood that Chu Yunfan had accepted his intentions. The relationship between the two of them had clearly improved.

He didnʼt know whether Chu Yunfan was holding out or if he was really prepared. However, this matter was not something he could continue to interfere in, so he could only take his leave.

”In that case, Iʼll be off now. Take care, General Chu.”

After watching Wan Sanqian leave, Chu Yunfanʼs expression became extremely cold. At this time, the inescapable net outside Baotai was probably very obvious. Even the Thousand Treasures Pavilion had noticed it.

However, the Thousand Treasures Pavilion naturally could not rashly get involved in this accident for him. This was the reason he rejected Wan Sanqianʼs good intentions.

If Chu Yunfan wanted to send a message, he himself would be the most suitable messenger. With his strength, if he wanted to go to the Imperial City, no one would be able to stop him. But at the same time, Chu Hongcai and You Chuyun would probably be silenced by the other party.

Those people had set up an inescapable net to deal with Chu Yunfan and kill him, but how could Chu Yunfan not want to catch them all in one fell swoop?

This was a great opportunity for Chu Yunfan. After all, even if they were scared off, they would still come looking for him again and again. One could not guard against thieves forever.

No matter who jumped out, whether it was Li Qianyuan, the crown prince, or someone else, Chu Yunfan wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to catch them all. This would be a battle to solve a major problem, and his greatest trump card was the Six-Stripe Gold Pill, which was the simplified version of the Nine-Stripe Gold Pill.

Back then, Chu Yunfan had relied on the One-Stripe Gold Pill and the Three-Stripe Gold Pill to increase his strength and defeat his enemies. However, he had never made the Six-Stripe Gold Pill after the Three-Stripe Gold Pill because it was too difficult for him at that time. Though the pill formula developed by the Alchemy Emperor was a simplified version of the Nine-Stripe Gold Pill, it was still out of Chu Yunfanʼs reach at that time.

Not only was his alchemy ability inferior, but the countless resources required were not something he could afford at that time. Now that he had the ability to make it, and he did not lack resources and wealth, it was a good time to refine the Six-Stripe Gold Pill.

However, the original purpose of refining the Six-Stripe Gold Pill was to deal with Li Qianyuan. After killing Li Qianyuan in one fell swoop, the Elder Princess would surely have nothing to say.

But now, Chu Yunfan was forced to use it in advance.

”But even if I donʼt have the Six-Stripe Gold Pill, half a yearʼs time is enough for me to surpass Li Qianyuan. At that time, I can kill him with my own strength!” Chu Yunfanʼs eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He wasnʼt in a hurry to rush over. Since the other partyʼs goal was to lure him into taking the bait, they naturally wouldnʼt easily make a move on Chu Hongcai and You Chuyun. This gave him enough time to prepare a trump card that was enough to overturn everything.

Chu Yunfan announced that he was going to enter seclusion. Then, he entered the Mountain River Diagram and immediately began making pills.
