Opening: Me, I become stronger when I am beaten!

After joining the Alchemist Association, a disciple brought Ye Chen to the new house assigned by him, and got acquainted with the situation here.

This disciple looked to be in his 30s, with a kind face, and his attitude towards Ye Chen was also very flattering.

The person who can make the president attach so much importance and personally accept him as a disciple must have his own merits.

For this kind of person, it is still very useful to take care of the relationship as soon as possible, even if you can't make friends, at least gain some goodwill.

When Ye Chen left, the president still stood where he was, quietly looking into the distance, thoughtful.

Indistinctly, Ye Chen gave him a feeling that he was hiding something, as if this person had another trump card.

Moreover, if there was such a big commotion in the Alchemist Association, if it was someone else, he would probably be dead already, but he didn't panic at all.

For a monk, strength may not be the most important thing, it can be accumulated, talent can also be made up through acquired training, the most important thing is character.

There was a smile on the corner of the president's mouth, very satisfied with the apprentice he just accepted.

On the other side, Ye Chen has already entered his own house, which is very spacious, it can be said that it is a cave mansion independently opened up, and it is simply incomparable with the house where the outer disciples live.

In the eyes of outsiders, the residence of the outer disciples is comfortable enough, and this cave is full of all kinds of alchemy and medicine facilities, and it seems that someone has cleaned it regularly.

"Senior Brother Ye, this is the place. If you have nothing to do, I won't bother you any more. If you need anything, just call me." The disciple said.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, this person was older than him, and he actually called him senior brother.

And he just came today, how long has the other party been in the association.

But this kind of thing is quite normal. In the cultivation world, the strong are respected. Ye Chen's strength is indeed stronger than him, and he is highly regarded by the president.

This is an opportunity that no matter how high the qualifications are, you may not be able to get it.

Ye Chen looked around in the cave, and soon a disciple came to the door with a package.

"Senior Brother Ye, these are the resources distributed by the association for you."

With that said, he put the package on the table, then turned and left.

Opening the package, there are some elixir needed for monks' daily practice, and there is also an introductory alchemy manual, which contains some common sense and some basic elixir recipes.

The rest are some miscellaneous resources. To the outside world, these resources are comparable to a huge sum of money, but to Ye Chen, they are nothing more than that.

Compared with the Ye family's daily salary, it is indeed much richer, but as a systematic person, he doesn't pay much attention to these.

"If these can be brought back and reward some disciples who have performed well, it will be good to win people's hearts."

Ye Chen thought to himself.

On the other hand, Zuoyi City has undergone some changes.

Before Ye Chen came back, the Ye family's trading channel had already been opened up. Since Sun Xuan was dismissed, everything has returned to normal.

But on top of this, the Ye family's status has been slightly improved.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Ye family's performance during this period was really too strong. First, it seized a lot of business in Zuoyi City, leaving the other big families with no business to do.

Then there was a confrontation with the city lord Zhao Tianhong. The two sides really fought a wave, and the final result was that the Ye family won.

One must know that the city lord's mansion sent out an army, not entirely because of Zhao Tianhong's intention, but more because of the other four big families who were fueling the flames, and the Ye family had already made enemies everywhere.

In this case, they can win, so the monks in Zuoyi City have some doubts about the background of the Ye family.

It seems that the Ye family is not as rumored by the outside world, and its strength is only on par with the other four major families, but has already far surpassed it.

It's just that it has been hidden for too long, and it has never been revealed. It is really terrible.

On the other hand, the Alchemist Association has released the news that Ye Chen joined the Alchemist Association.

Although there was no additional notice attached, it was obvious that the Alchemist Association wanted to protect the Ye family.

Many people have already understood the meaning here, that is, Ye Chen is already a member of the Alchemy Association, so if anyone wants to touch the Ye family, they must first take a look at the attitude of the Alchemy Association.

In this way, no one dared to take the Ye family's idea.

The members of the four major families are not fools, so they quickly realized this, so they didn't dare to take any action.

On the contrary, they made a unanimous choice, that is, to surrender to the Ye family and become the subordinates of the Ye family from now on.

This may be a bit embarrassing, and it will also lead to a decrease in the cohesion of the disciples in the family, but they all know that if Zhong does not make friends with the Ye family at this time, it will not be far from being eaten away step by step.

And when Ye Chen returned, the Ye family had already controlled all of Zuoyi City and became the biggest force in Zuoyi City.

Regarding this point, Ye Chen was not surprised at all. When he killed Zhao Tianhong, all this was already doomed.

Zhao Tianhong, who had the highest strength and status in normal times, was killed by him. If the Ye family could not manage Zuoyi City, but continued to sit on an equal footing with the other big families, it would be incompetent.

That night, the president walked into Ye Chen's cave slowly, his steps were very light, if he didn't notice carefully, he wouldn't even notice it.

"I've met the president." Ye Chen bowed his hands and saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite. The Alchemist Association has no special rules. As long as you refine high-quality pills, you are king." The president said with a smile on his face.

He went on to say: "I'm here this time, actually there is something I want to tell you. Three months later will be the alchemist celebration. I wonder if you intend to participate?"

The chairman's attitude is very kind, without the slightest condescending meaning, at this moment he looks like a junior of his own family.

"Since it's the president's intention, then I will obey." Ye Chen said.

The president was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down and nodded slightly.

Since he agreed so quickly, that's fine.

Before he came in, he had prepared a set of rhetoric, but now it seems that it is completely useless.

This saved him a lot of tongue.

"Last year's celebration, we sent Wei Hong, Sun Xuan's apprentice, to participate. This person's alchemy skills are not bad, but he is arrogant, and he caused some trouble for the association."

He looked at Marven Ye and said, "So this time you go to the celebration, don't be too low-key, just look good for the association."

Ye Chen nodded.

Next, he had a goal.

Since the president asked him to raise his profile, he had to improve his strength first.

And the most suitable place for him to practice is the Fengming Mountain Range.
