Chapter 67: Genius Alchemist

"Propose marriage? The Tianxiang Sect?"

Bai Sheng's face changed drastically, and he directly used his cultivation to flash outside.

Yang Yu, Bai Zhi, and the others followed closely behind.

After Bai Sheng, Yang Yu, and the others came out, they saw a man dressed in white.

He wasn't old, looking to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

His appearance was ordinary, but his bearing was extraordinary, and there was quite a sharp edge in his eyes.

Beside him was an old man with a smile on his face and a Swift Wind Eagle that had just landed.

"Is your Tianxiang Sect always this rude?"

Bai Sheng was slightly displeased.

A Swift Wind Eagle, out of courtesy, generally wouldn't fly directly into someone else's home.

Yet this Tang Linyuan had actually landed right at the entrance of the Bai family's clan meeting hall; how presumptuous and arrogant!

Moreover, the Tianxiang Sect had once colluded with Bai Qiang; although they hadn't accomplished anything, Bai Sheng still felt a strong aversion toward the Tianxiang Sect.

Tang Linyuan bowed slightly and apologized with a smile: "Family Head Bai, please forgive me; I was just too impatient."

The old man also stepped forward and said: "Family Head Bai, nice to meet you."

Facing such a person, Bai Sheng couldn't just flip out, so he exchanged pleasantries: "So it is Elder Wei."

Although the Tianxiang Sect was far from Ning City, it was still a famous faction in the Southern Region.

This Elder Wei, named Wei Chuan, was the person second only to the Sect Master in the Tianxiang Sect.

His disciple, Tang Linyuan, was also quite famous, hailed as the number one alchemist of the younger generation in the Southern Region.

"I wonder, what is the purpose of Elder Wei's visit?"

Bai Sheng asked, knowing the answer.

Tang Linyuan said loudly: "Family Head Bai, I said it as soon as I landed; I am here to propose marriage to Bai Zhi."

As he spoke, he scanned the crowd, looking for Bai Qiang's tracks.

He intended to marry Bai Zhi.

To this end, he had made an agreement with Bai Qiang that Bai Qiang would help him break off the marriage contract between Bai Zhi and Yang Yu.

Then he and his master would come to propose.

It was just that he didn't know why Bai Qiang had suddenly cut off contact.

However, Tang Linyuan was determined to win Bai Zhi, so he didn't want to wait anymore and directly brought the betrothal gifts to their door.

"Propose marriage? What proposal?" Bai Sheng frowned and said, "Nephew Tang, you aren't joking, are you? My Bai Zhi already has a fiancé, and the wedding date is set; what do you mean by coming to propose now?"

Tang Linyuan was suspicious: The marriage contract is still there? That trash Bai Qiang is truly not to be relied upon!

But since he was already here, he couldn't just retreat, so he said earnestly:

"Family Head Bai, isn't it a bit too rash to set Bai Zhi's marriage so quickly? Choosing a husband requires careful consideration."

Wei Chuan followed up: "It's just a marriage contract; it's not like it can't be canceled. Family Head Bai, why not take a look at our Tianxiang Sect's sincerity..."

After speaking, he tapped his finger on his space ring.

Immediately, several large treasure chests appeared in front of them.

Opening them, they were filled with all kinds of gold, silver, jewels, cultivation techniques, and martial arts...

Tang Linyuan was somewhat smug and said:

"Family Head Bai, if I marry Bai Zhi, the Tianxiang Sect will become an ally of the Bai family; this is a huge benefit for the Bai family. As for that fiancé from before, I've heard of him; he's just a boy from a mountain village; he's not qualified to have Bai Zhi."

"Enough! You two, don't go too far!"

Bai Sheng scolded coldly.

After the series of events over the past two days, he not only accepted Yang Yu but even treated him like his own son.

How could he possibly abandon Yang Yu?

Bai Zhi also stood out and said: "I appreciate Young Master Tang's appreciation, but Yang Yu and I are in love and will never be parted; please return."

Tang Linyuan was suddenly enraged.

He had brought his master to visit in person and prepared generous gifts; he was so sincere.

The other party had refused directly without even thinking!

It was simply not giving the Tianxiang Sect any face.

"Bai Zhi, what kind of thing is that fiancé of yours that he could be worthy of you?"

Tang Linyuan dropped the facade.

"And what kind of thing are you, daring to spout such nonsense here?" Yang Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Bai Zhi, who is he?" Tang Linyuan asked in a sinister voice.

Bai Zhi said coldly: "He is my fiancé, Yang Yu."

Tang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter:

"I never thought that this kid would have such a humble background and yet such a big mouth! He really thinks that by climbing up to the Bai family, he can ascend to the heavens in one step."

Other Bai family members were very dissatisfied and said:

"Climbing up? You don't know anything; it's our Bai family that climbed up to him!"

"Hmm?"

Tang Linyuan was confused.

Wasn't it said that this Yang Yu had a humble background and no talent?

The Bai family should have been disgusted with him; why were they treating him like a treasure?

Forget it, no matter what this kid is like, he can't compare to the pride of the Tianxiang Sect!

Tang Linyuan was full of arrogance and said again:

"Bai Zhi, are you really going to give up on me for this kind of kid? Not to mention that I have the backing of the Tianxiang Sect, my achievements in alchemy alone are something he will never be able to reach in his entire life!"

"Think clearly; choose me, and the Bai family will have a genius alchemist. The benefits for your family's development will be immeasurable!"

Once these words were spoken, the Bai family members couldn't refute it.

This Tang Linyuan was indeed born to be an alchemist.

At only twenty-seven years old, he had become a third-tier alchemist.

The profession of alchemist is divided into nine tiers, from first to ninth, getting stronger as they go up.

They are divided that way, but in reality, alchemists above the fifth tier almost don't exist.

Most alchemists spend their entire lives stuck at the first or second tier.

Originally, just being able to become an alchemist was enough to bring honor to one's ancestors. And Tang Linyuan had reached the third tier; it could be said that he had left his contemporaries far behind.

He was so young, and there was still plenty of room for improvement in the future.

He was guaranteed to reach the fifth tier, and might even challenge the legendary sixth tier.

And a fifth-tier alchemist, placed anywhere, would be courted by countless factions...

"What, are you tempted? Accept my betrothal gifts now and kick Yang Yu to the curb; it's not too late."

Tang Linyuan crossed his arms over his chest, looking very smug.

Bai Zhi snorted lightly: "Stop with the nonsense; even if he is an alchemy genius, in my eyes, he doesn't compare to Yang Yu by even a fraction!"

"You! Don't be ungrateful!"

Tang Linyuan gritted his teeth fiercely.

The woman he had his eyes on only had eyes for another man; it was simply unbearable!

Then, his tone sank as he said:

"Bai Zhi, Family Head Bai, are you sure you want to refuse me? If so, you won't just lose a perfect son-in-law, but you will also offend a monstrous alchemist!"

His words carried a tone of warning and threat.

The Bai family members were somewhat uneasy.

Tang Linyuan's meaning was clear: he would either be the Bai family's son-in-law, or he would be the Bai family's enemy.

He alone, of course, couldn't do anything to the Bai family.

But an alchemist's ability to rally others was immense.

In the future, when Tang Linyuan became a fifth-tier alchemist, countless warriors would be willing to work for him for the sake of pills.

When that time came, he would have a massive following, and if he targeted the Bai family, the Bai family would surely face a great disaster.

"It seems you are quite proud of your identity as an alchemist."

Yang Yu, however, asked with a playful look.

Tang Linyuan scoffed and said:

"That goes without saying; the nobility of an alchemist is not something a commoner like you can understand. You must be feeling very inferior right now, right? I advise you to roll out of the Bai family voluntarily; it's better for you, and better for the Bai family!"

"Alchemist? You aren't one anymore."

Yang Yu chuckled.

At the same time, he moved his mind, called up the "Must Explode Furnace When Refining Pills" entry, and sent it directly to Tang Linyuan... ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
