Chapter 3674: My Master

Under Gongsun Hong's guidance, Ye Bufan and his companion flew for an entire half-day before a magnificent, towering pagoda appeared in the distance.

Around this pagoda, various buildings were scattered, including inns, shops, and even some residences.

"Master, this is the branch of the Jubao Pavilion."

Gongsun Hong descended from mid-air and respectfully introduced it to Ye Bufan.

"This is the Jubao Pavilion's landmark building here, the Ten-Tier Pagoda. Inside are all the treasures they want to sell. Each ascending tier raises the Rank of the treasures…"

The two walked towards the Jubao Pavilion as they spoke. Ye Bufan asked, "Are you very familiar with the Steward here?"

Gongsun Hong nodded, "The Steward here is named Miao Badou. I am an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master, and he happens to be in charge of Medicinal Pills.

He often buys Medicinal Pills from me, and I also use him to find some Materials for Alchemy. He is also a very kind person, and after many years of acquaintance, we can be considered friends.

He still gives me Face when I speak, so finding information about Spirit Medicine is not a problem."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded, and the two arrived in front of the Ten-Tier Pagoda.

There were more than a dozen guards standing there, each with a Cultivation above Great Spirit Immortal, which showed the immense strength of the Jubao Pavilion.

Gongsun Hong was also a regular here; after showing his token, the two stepped inside.

Upon entering the main hall, Ye Bufan looked around. Compared to the Jubao Pavilion in the Lower Heaven Region, the decorations here were even more luxurious.

There were no lights in the room, but it was inlaid with various crystals, shining brightly.

A huge plaque, ten meters long and five meters wide, hung at the entrance, exuding an imposing Aura.

It read in bold, sweeping characters: "Jubao Pavilion sells only genuine products; a hundredfold compensation for fakes."

The entire hall was divided into four sections by direction: the east side sold Immortal Artifacts, the west side sold refined Medicinal Pills, the south side sold immortal spirit grass, and the north side sold Artifact Refining Materials.

These four directions combined almost encompassed all the resources an Immortal needed for Cultivation.

Their current location was the first tier, so the Rank of these items was all first-tier, relatively cheaper.

However, there were few Immortals of lower Rank in the Middle Heaven Region, so there were only a few customers here, not many people.

After the two entered, a very clever-looking Shopkeeper greeted them with a beaming smile.

"Immortal Pill Master, you've arrived!"

Gongsun Hong nodded, "I want to see Chief Manager Miao!"

"Please follow me."

The young Shopkeeper led the two to the back hall, which was connected to the Ten-Tier Pagoda and served as the Jubao Pavilion's office area.

Upon reaching the main hall, after being announced, the young Shopkeeper led the two inside. A short, stout middle-aged man greeted them cheerfully; it was Miao Badou, the Grand Manager of the Jubao Pavilion branch.

"Brother Gongsun, long time no see!"

Miao Badou enthusiastically greeted Gongsun Hong, then his gaze fell on Ye Bufan.

"This Young Master is…?"

Gongsun Hong said, "Chief Manager Miao, allow me to introduce you. This is my Master!"

"So it's Brother Gongsun's Ma… Ma… Master…"

As the Grand Manager here, he was originally a person who could navigate all situations and was extremely skilled in the Dao of socializing.

But halfway through his smiling words, he almost bit his tongue.

He had initially thought Ye Bufan was just a new junior apprentice or a medicine boy for Gongsun Hong, never expecting him to be the other party's Master.

This was truly too incredible. Given Gongsun Hong's age and status, how could an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master possibly have such a Young man as his Master?

Even though he managed the Jubao Pavilion and had seen countless people, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

He swallowed, his Face full of disbelief.

"Brother Gongsun, you're not joking, are you?"

Gongsun Hong said earnestly, "This is no joke. The capable are Masters. This is my Master!"

Miao Badou stared at the Young man in shock, unable to understand how someone of this age could command Gongsun Hong's respect.

Could it be that he truly possessed incredibly high Alchemy attainments?

"May I ask Young Master's name?"

"I am Ye Bufan!"

"Young Master Ye is truly young and promising!"

Miao Badou was also someone who had seen great storms and quickly recovered, "Brother Gongsun, how many Medicinal Pills have you brought this time? Or do you need my help with any Materials?"

Based on past experience, when Gongsun Hong appeared, it was either to sell refined Medicinal Pills to the Jubao Pavilion or to request some rare Spirit Medicine.

"It's not really…"

Gongsun Hong was about to state his purpose when, at that moment, a commotion came from outside the door.

"Senior, please wait a moment, the Grand Manager is currently seeing a guest…"

"Senior, you really can't go in. Let me go in and announce you first…"

It was the young Shopkeeper's anxious voice, and then the door was pushed open with a bang, and a tall old man walked in from outside.

"Who do you think I am? A Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master! Do I need to be announced anywhere? Do I need to wait for others? What a joke?"

The old man had an arrogant expression, swept the young Shopkeeper aside with a flick of his hand, and strode into the main hall.

Upon seeing him, both Gongsun Hong and Miao Badou's expressions changed slightly. They both knew this person, the Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master—Deng Jiugong.

Miao Badou first frowned, then a wide smile bloomed on his Face. He waved his hand, signaling the young Shopkeeper to retreat outside the room.

"Brother Deng, long time no see. What brings you here?"

Deng Jiugong curled his lips, his Face full of arrogance, "Chief Manager Miao, I won't waste words. I've refined a few batches of Medicinal Pills this time and want to sell them to your Jubao Pavilion."

"That's good news, welcome, welcome!"

Miao Badou said cheerfully, "However, I am currently hosting Brother Gongsun. How about Brother Deng waits a moment?

I'll have someone take you to the side for tea. I have excellent thousand-year-old tea here…"

His intention was to have the other party wait on the side, and he would attend to them after finishing with Gongsun Hong and Ye Bufan.

But before he could finish speaking, Deng Jiugong's Face darkened.

"Have me wait on the side? Is he, an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master, worthy?"

Deng Jiugong squinted at Gongsun Hong, "I am a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master! My time is very precious, and it's not something just any nobody can waste!"

It turned out that the two had some past grievances. They had once set their eyes on the same Spirit Medicine at an auction, but it was ultimately bought by Gongsun Hong, so the old fellow had held a grudge ever since.

If it were in the past, Gongsun Hong might have endured it, as there was a huge difference between an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master and a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master.

But today was different; his Master was right beside him.

Regarding Alchemy attainments, he still couldn't tell how strong Ye Bufan truly was; perhaps he was a tenth-Rank, or even higher, so how could a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master offend him?

"Deng Jiugong, what did you say? With my Master here, it's not your turn to act wildly. Hurry up and wait on the side!"

"Your Master?"

Deng Jiugong was stunned for a moment, then looked around. There were only four people in the room: besides Miao Badou, only the Young man in front of him remained.

If there were a second person, he wouldn't have thought that Gongsun Hong was referring to Ye Bufan, but now there was only this one choice in the room.

After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, he burst into laughter, his laughter full of mockery.

"Gongsun Hong, you actually took such a young brat as your Master? Are you crazy? You've completely disgraced the Immortal Pill Master!"
