77: Chapter 77 Preaching and Instruction

Lin Xueyue's eyes lit up at those words. "That's a good idea. Yao Yao is an Alchemy Genius. If she can shine at the Alchemy Assembly, it will be a huge Opportunity for her. If she places, it will also make a name for our Qingyun Sect!"

The two hit it off immediately and went to the Alchemy Hall to find Yang Yao and tell her the news.

"The Alchemy Assembly... Great, that's great!"

Yang Yao's eyes also sparkled, filled with surprise and excitement.

For an Alchemist, the Alchemy Assembly is a perfect Opportunity to not only hone their Alchemy techniques and showcase their talent but also to become famous throughout the world.

They could also witness the competitions of other Alchemy Great Masters, which was absolutely beneficial in every way!

Yang Yao said excitedly, "I'll go prepare right away and bring some talented Disciples from the Alchemy Hall with me!"

Yang Yao and Lin Xueyue soon went off to get busy.

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin, falling into deep thought.

"Three days... isn't quite enough for a round trip. Medicine King Valley is too far from Qingyun Sect."

"Forget it, that old fellow Divine Physician Elder Li will likely participate in the Alchemy Assembly as well. I'll treat him then."

"I must accompany Sister Yang Yao to the Alchemy Assembly to protect her!"

Although Yang Yao's Alchemy talent and technique were quite good, she might not be considered top-tier when looking at the entire Great Wu Dynasty.

It wasn't that her talent wasn't high enough.

Rather, it was because she came from a small Sect like Qingyun Sect; the Legacies and resources she had access to before were far from comparable to those of the top Alchemy Sects and clans in the Great Wu Dynasty.

But if Ji Taichang helped her in secret...

She would definitely be able to get a good ranking!

This would be a good thing for both Yang Yao and Qingyun Sect, benefiting the Sect's development.

With that thought in mind.

After Yang Yao finished selecting the Alchemy Hall Disciples and returned to her private Alchemy room, Ji Taichang's figure flickered as he followed her inside.

Yang Yao looked around nervously. After making sure no one was watching, she hurriedly closed the door and threw herself directly into Ji Taichang's arms.

"Naughty husband!"

"Where have you been these past few days? Why haven't I seen you at all?"

Her soft and plump body pressed tightly against Ji Taichang. Her tone was coquettish and sweet, making Ji Taichang's blood boil instantly.

"I've been busy with other things these past few days."

"Did my wife miss me?"

Ji Taichang smirked and tilted Yang Yao's chin up.

"Yes!"

Yang Yao nodded vigorously, stood on her tiptoes, and took the initiative to kiss him.

...

Three days later.

After Ji Taichang spent these past few days imparting everything he knew and fully pouring Alchemy knowledge into Yang Yao.

Her face was glowing, and she possessed an increasingly charming aura, as enticing as a ripe peach, making Ji Taichang linger and forget everything else.

"Alright, you rascal, get up. The Alchemy Assembly is about to start."

With a flush on her face, Yang Yao lifted Ji Taichang from her embrace.

"Cough, cough!"

Ji Taichang wiped his mouth and said solemnly, "Have you remembered all the knowledge from the Fire Cloud Pill Scripture I taught you these past few days? If you can comprehend it all, I won't say you'll take first place in the Alchemy Assembly, but entering the top ten won't be a problem!"

"You bad seed!"

Yang Yao's face was full of blushes as she spat lightly, "Who... who teaches Fire Cloud Pill Scripture knowledge while doing that kind of thing? How... how am I supposed to remember it..."

"It's okay, I can teach you again."

Ji Taichang smirked and grabbed Yang Yao's small hand.

"Don't... the Alchemy Assembly is about to start!!"

Yang Yao felt her legs go weak and hurriedly slapped Ji Taichang's hand away, changing her clothes in a flurry.

A moment later.

Yang Yao was properly dressed and had brought twelve of the best Disciples from the Alchemy Hall, ready to participate in the Alchemy Assembly.

The preliminary rounds of the Alchemy Assembly are held in each province. Only the top ten Alchemists from each province are eligible to go to the Royal Capital for the finals.

Lanzhou's preliminary round was held in Lanzhou City.

Learning that Yang Yao was leading a group to the Alchemy Assembly, many Elders, deacons, and Disciples of Qingyun Sect came to see them off, their eyes filled with expectation.

"Yue... cough, Sect Master Lin, you should come along and see as well."

Ji Taichang looked at Lin Xueyue and winked at her.

"Alright."

Lin Xueyue nodded and did not refuse.

Thus, Ji Taichang personally maneuvered a Cloud Ship and began leading everyone toward Lanzhou City.

The Cloud Ship had three levels. Yang Yao and the Disciples from the Alchemy Hall gathered on the deck, admiring the surrounding scenery with faces full of curiosity and joy.

Those below the Golden Core Stage cannot fly, and Yang Yao had only recently completed her Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. They rarely had such an Opportunity to look down upon the land from high above.

Ji Taichang and Lin Xueyue went to a room on the third floor.

Lin Xueyue looked around guiltily. After finding that Yang Yao and the others hadn't noticed, she immediately closed the door and sat directly next to Ji Taichang.

"Xiao Chang, where have you been these past three days?"

Lin Xueyue's snowy-white arms wrapped around Ji Taichang's neck. Her heavy, rounded breasts directly smothered Ji Taichang's head, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Out doing some business..."

Ji Taichang said in a muffled voice. A refreshing fragrance surged into his nose, making him feel relaxed and happy.

"It will take at least several hours to get from here to Lanzhou City. We..."

Lin Xueyue's mature and charming face turned slightly red. She licked her red lips and directly unbuttoned Ji Taichang's clothes!

One day apart feels like three autumns, let alone three days.

Lin Xueyue had been alone for many years and had only truly experienced the wonders of it three days ago. Having tasted the marrow, she naturally wouldn't let slip the chance to be alone with him, taking every Opportunity she could!

...

Two hours later.

Ji Taichang rubbed his lower back and hissed, "Fortunately, I have the Supreme Sword Bone to strengthen my body and possess the body of a Golden Saint of the Kidneys; otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to handle this."

"Yue'er seems cold and conservative on the surface, but I didn't expect her to have such a huge contrast in private. She really knows how to play..."

Recalling the events of the past, Ji Taichang couldn't help but be impressed.

Lin Xueyue was truly a stunner of the human world!

After her pursuit and nourishment, her temperament became increasingly charming and moving. Her spirit had improved significantly, and she was glowing.

Lin Xueyue changed her clothes openly in front of Ji Taichang, skipping about as she put on a purple Ruqun. Her jet-black hair fell down, framing her beautiful face as she gave Ji Taichang a sweet smile.

Afterward.

She personally helped Ji Taichang dress neatly and tidied up the scene before the two of them walked out of the room one after another, acting as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Lin Xueyue's slightly red ears while she pretended to chat nonchalantly with Yang Yao, Ji Taichang found it quite amusing.

"It will definitely be fun when they both discover their relationship with me."

The corners of Ji Taichang's mouth curled up slightly as an evil plan formed in his mind.

More than an hour later.

At the end of the countless mountains and valleys, a vast and prosperous city appeared before their eyes.

They had arrived at Lanzhou City.
