In the courtyard of the Fang Family.
"With a single strike, he could severely injure Luo Cheng. It seems Yi Ming and the others are truly under Fang Chen's influence," Fang Nansiao said hoarsely, a glint of malice in her eyes. "I never expected that the deepest secret of our Fang Family would be this Fang Chen. He truly is my brother's good son!"
"I'll take care of him right now!" Fang Botao exclaimed angrily, rising to his feet.
"Sit down!" Fang Nansiao snapped coldly. "Without any evidence, do you really want to eliminate the only heir of the main branch? That would be seeking your own death! Perhaps your brother is waiting for you to make a move!"
"Are we just going to let Hao Yun and the others' grievances go unaddressed?!" Fang Botao retorted furiously.
"Of course not. Isn't there a maid by Fang Chen's side? If we have the chance to capture her and ask some questions, we might find something without any evidence," Fang Nansiao said with a chilling smile.
"Taking advantage of Wang Wuzhou's death, we need to continue building good relations with the Wang family. With their support, we'll have a much better chance at seizing the position of clan leader. Once we obtain that position, Fang Qingshan and his son will be at our mercy."
"Father, with Luo Cheng in such a state, what about Master Qinggu? Besides, Fang Chen has purchased quite a bit of medicinal herbs. Could it be that he can still refine pills?" Fang Qiyang asked, frowning.
"Refine pills?" Fang Nansiao scoffed. "He just attacked Master Qinggu's disciple. If this guy encounters Master Qinggu in the Alchemy Room again, wouldn't that be interesting..."
...
The Fang Family occupies a vast area in Fengyan City, with an enormous courtyard containing countless smaller courtyards, resembling a small city. There are training grounds, battle technique pavilions, Alchemy Rooms, talisman platforms, and more.
The Alchemy Room and battle technique pavilion are crucial buildings located at the very center of the Fang Family estate, heavily guarded. Ordinary members are hardly allowed to approach without permission.
At this moment, a youthful figure was carrying a large pile of medicinal herbs, slowly making his way toward the Earth Fire Alchemy Room.
This youth was none other than Fang Chen, who had just returned to the Fang Residence not long ago.
However, at this moment, Fang Chen wore a bitter smile. Although he possessed the skills of a ninth-grade alchemist, his current cultivation was not strong enough. To refine the Primordial Yang Pill, he needed a good Alchemy Room for assistance; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to produce even a single herb.
The only Alchemy Room in the Fang Family that could meet his requirements was the Earth Fire Alchemy Room.
Recalling how he had pleaded with his father for permission to use the Earth Fire Alchemy Room earlier made Fang Chen's bitter smile even more pronounced. Having once blown up an Alchemy Room in spectacular fashion, this time he had to pull out all the stops and reveal some "secrets" before finally obtaining permission to use it.
"Once I refine a Primordial Yang Pill, I can head to the Absolute Yin Realm." With this thought, the bitter smile on Fang Chen's face vanished, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"We've arrived." Suddenly, Fang Chen lifted his head to look at the courtyard made entirely of black stones.
The Earth Fire Alchemy Room was built in a separate courtyard, partially underground, with only a stone house less than one meter high visible above ground. The entrance was heavily guarded, but there were no guards in front of the Inferno Chamber.
Fang Chen, who had been here once in his previous life, was not unfamiliar with the place. He unlocked the door and entered the Earth Fire Alchemy Room. After carefully checking everything and confirming that all was in order, he prepared to close the door and begin alchemy.
However, at that moment, a fawning voice suddenly came from outside the Earth Fire Alchemy Room: "Master Qinggu, please, let me open the door for you."
Hearing this voice, Fang Chen's expression immediately darkened. "What a coincidence."
In a courtyard of the Fang Residence, Luo Cheng and Fang Qiyang, who had previously been beaten by Fang Chen, were drinking together and occasionally letting out smug chuckles.
"Hey, Luo Cheng, what do you think will happen to that bastard for offending Master Qinggu today? If Master Qinggu angrily confronts Third Grandpa about it, will that bastard be kicked out of the Fang Family?" Fang Qiyang said with a sly smile.
"Who knows? The master is quite particular about others entering his Earth Fire Alchemy Room without permission. That bastard... heh heh..." Luo Cheng sneered before changing the subject. "But ultimately, it depends on how well Fang Uncle's arranged guy stirs up trouble!"
"Don't worry, Luo Cheng. Heh heh, cheers!" Fang Qiyang and Luo Cheng exchanged sly smiles as they drank again.
...
Zhou Er Luo knew exactly why he was here. Upon seeing Fang Chen in the Alchemist's Chamber, a malicious glint flashed in his small eyes.
Wasn't it just about provoking conflict between Master Qinggu and this spoiled brat? This was an easy task.
For Zhou Er Luo, a shrewd steward under Fang Nansiao, this was incredibly simple. Moreover, he had heard that this spoiled brat had recently beaten Master Qinggu's disciple.
It was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut! Zhou Er Luo thought to himself before speaking up:
"Oh? Young Master Fang Chen, what brings you to Master Qinggu's Earth Fire Alchemy Room? This isn't a place for you to play around; it's simply ridiculous. Don't you see where this is? Don't disturb Master Qinggu while he's refining pills; hurry up and get out!"
As he spoke, Zhou Er Luo adopted a tone of reprimand and condescension, completely disregarding Fang Chen's status as the eldest son of the main family.
Fang Chen's gaze slightly narrowed as he looked at the old man standing at the door, dressed in a green alchemist's robe with long black hair cascading down his back.
There was no doubt that this old man was Master Qinggu!
Fang Chen had just arrived at the Earth Fire Alchemy Room, and now Master Qinggu had followed him here. If he were to believe that this was not a deliberate arrangement, he would be utterly foolish. Moreover, the middle-aged man beside Master Qinggu, who resembled a steward, was clearly there to stir up trouble.
"Fang Nansiao," Fang Chen silently uttered these three words in his heart. He recognized this middle-aged man and knew his identity as a steward under Fang Nansiao.
Thus, the situation became clear.
To be honest, Fang Chen did not wish to have any conflict with this Fang Family worshipper, Master Qinggu.
It wasn't that Fang Chen was afraid of Master Qinggu; although he was a third-tier alchemist and quite popular in Fengyan City, he held little weight in Fang Chen's eyes.
However, Fang Chen could not reveal his identity as a ninth-tier alchemist at this moment. Master Qinggu had brought considerable profits to the Fang Family through his alchemy every year, which gave him a high status within the family. Even the patriarch Fang Zheng Tian, who was currently in seclusion, had to show him some respect. Although Master Qinggu was arrogant, Fang Chen had no prior interactions with him in his past life, let alone any conflicts.
Yet, Fang Chen's silence and retreat were perceived by Master Qinggu as arrogance. Furthermore, having already regarded the Earth Fire Alchemy Room as his own territory, he looked at Fang Chen still lingering in the Alchemist's Chamber with growing dissatisfaction on his face.
