Ya Fei, standing nearby, was a bit bewildered. "At your beck and call?" Doesn't this imply that the Mitel Clan is centered around Young Master Liu?
A flicker of surprise crossed Liu Yu's eyes. This Mitel Tengshan was truly courageous! He truly deserved the position of clan leader!
Honestly, he was a bit tempted. If he could bring the Mitel Clan under his wing, it would make it much easier for him to lead the Serpent People out of the Tagor Desert and rebuild their tribe!
"At your beck and call?" Liu Yu smiled, looking at Mitel Tengshan.
Mitel Tengshan instantly understood Liu Yu's meaning and affirmed, "At your beck and call! From this day forward, Young Master Liu is the Grand Elder of our Mitel Clan!" (Hai Bodong:???)
Uh... Liu Yu felt Mitel Tengshan might have misunderstood. He simply wanted to confirm...
But then again, if Mitel Tengshan had "requested" him this way, it wasn't impossible for him to assume the Grand Eldership! Hai Bodong, Hai Bodong! It's not that I want to take your position, I'm really "forced" into it!
"Then Mr. Liu, I'll go and announce this first!" Mitel Tengshan turned and left, and disappeared in an instant, as if he was afraid that Liu Yu would go back on his word!
Ya Fei stood aside in a daze, obviously not recovered from the fact that Liu Yu suddenly became the Grand Elder of the Mitel family. Her eyes were silly and cute, and this contrast made Liu Yu feel very cute!
"Well, Ya Fei, come and help this elder rub his shoulders!"
Liu Yu sat on a stone bench on the side, looking at the "silly and cute" Ya Fei, his eyes full of amusement. Now that he has become the Grand Elder, shouldn't he enjoy the power he deserves?
Having collected her thoughts, Yafei rolled her eyes at Liu Yu's words, but she still twisted her charming figure, treading like a cat, and came up behind Liu Yu, breathing sweetly, "My Grand Elder, I will give you a shoulder massage!"
Her bare hands rested on his shoulders, her fingertips gently kneading, moving upwards, gently twisting...
This is life! Liu Yu's face showed enjoyment.
...
In the central meeting hall of the Mitel family headquarters, a vast manor. The
spacious meeting room was filled with many people, all core members of the Mitel family. They were puzzled, wondering why the patriarch had suddenly summoned them.
Sitting at the head of the table was Mitel Tengshan. Compared to his previous "kindness" with Liu Yu, he now exuded a sense of authority without anger.
"I summoned you here to announce a matter of great importance to the future of our Mitel family!"
The old, yet commanding voice echoed through the hall.
Something important? Was someone plotting a move against the Mitel family? They couldn't help but think of the two beams of light that had appeared in the Mitel Clan. Could it be that some treasure of the Mitel Clan had been leaked, attracting the covetousness of some powerful individuals?
Most of the people in the meeting hall exchanged glances, their gazes turning to their clan leader. Only a few wore thoughtful expressions, clearly aware of something.
Mitel Tengshan's brows furrowed slightly. He could see the expressions of his clan members, most of whom were worried. He wondered, couldn't they just hope for the best? The Mitel Clan wasn't a pushover, vulnerable to manipulation! What kind of mentality was this?
"Hmph! Our Mitel Clan will be welcoming a new Grand Elder! This Grand Elder is also a sixth-grade alchemist!"
Mitel Tengshan's slightly dissatisfied voice was like thunder, shocking everyone!
"Could it be that those two beams of light are the manifestation of a sixth-grade elixir?" someone exclaimed, and for a moment, the entire meeting hall erupted in excitement!
"Quiet!" Mitel Tengshan shouted softly, instantly calming the restless chamber.
Mitel Tengshan then began to warn everyone in the room: anyone who dared disrespect the Grand Elder would be expelled from the Mitel Family! He instructed them to explain this clearly to the others below, lest anyone with the foresight offend the Grand Elder. Mitel Tengshan
then gave a brief overview of the Grand Elder's appearance. His silver hair, red eyes, and ethereal demeanor made him easily recognizable.
Suddenly, a man in black approached Mitel Tengshan, whispered something in his ear, and then left.
"Alright, remember what I said, meeting dismissed!"
Mitel Tengshan was the first to rise and leave the chamber. Without Mitel Tengshan's presence, the room became bustling once more, naturally, with the discussion focusing on the sixth-grade alchemist, or rather, the Grand Elder of the Mitel Family!
They were all incredibly happy to have a sixth-grade alchemist become the Grand Elder of the Mitel Family! Furthermore, from the clan leader's description, this alchemist was quite young. When had such a monster appeared in the Jiama Empire?
As for the former Grand Elder, he had disappeared decades ago. At least half the people in the meeting room didn't recognize him. Those who knew of his existence had tacitly chosen to forget him! They couldn't dwell on the past; they had to focus on a bright future! (Hai Bodong: ...)
The Mitel Family Hall.
When Mitel Tengshan entered the hall, he discovered that even the usual old monsters had appeared: Fa Ma, Nalan Jie, Mu Chen, and even the Imperial Guardian Jia Lao—Jia Xingtian!
But he wasn't surprised. If these people had sensed such a major event in their Mitel Family, he would have been surprised! Especially Jia Xingtian, who was dedicated to maintaining the Imperial rule!
"Tengshan, someone in your Mitel Family is refining a sixth-grade elixir!" Fa Ma spoke first. Although it was a question, his tone was affirmative!
Jia Xingtian and the other three also looked at Mitel Tengshan. The only person in the Jiama Empire who could refine sixth-grade elixirs was Gu He of the Yunlan Sect!
And the presence of a guest elder from the Yunlan Sect in the Mitel family complicated matters! The royal family would never allow such a thing to happen!
"Haha! The person who refined the sixth-grade elixir isn't Gu He, but the Grand Elder of our Mitel family!"
Mitel Tengshan naturally understood their thoughts. If Gu He appeared in their Mitel family, Jia Xingtian would probably be completely uneasy. Without Hai Lao in charge, the Mitel family couldn't withstand the royal family's reckoning!
"Grand Elder? Hai Bodong?" Jia Xingtian frowned slightly. Wasn't that old man dead? Even if he were alive, his ice-attributed Dou Qi wouldn't allow him to become an alchemist! Unless this Grand Elder was someone else!
Nalan Jie and Mu Chen's expressions changed. Could that person not be dead? But then they thought it was impossible. How could that person become an alchemist?
"Tengshan, could you please introduce us to your Grand Elder?" Fa Ma asked. He had no other thoughts but to meet this suddenly appeared sixth-grade alchemist. As for why this sixth-grade alchemist appeared in the Mitel family, he didn't want to care.
Jia Xingtian also looked at Mitel Tengshan and said, "Tengshan, take us to meet your Grand Elder!"
"Falao, Jia Lao, this is not my decision. I'll send someone to ask. If the Grand Elder doesn't want to, then there's nothing I can do!"
Jia Xingtian and the others had no choice but to agree.
...
In Yafei's courtyard, a figure appeared silently outside the door.
Liu Yu was sipping tea and enjoying Yafei's massage when he sensed someone outside the door.
"Come in!"
As Liu Yu spoke, the man in black stepped into the courtyard and stood in front of Liu Yu, saying respectfully, "Grand Elder, some guests have arrived at the Mitel Family Hall and would like to see you!"

Finally! Liu Yu chuckled. His second attempt at refining the elixir had made quite a noise.
"I'll be right there! Yafei, take me to the hall!" Liu Yu commanded, and the man in black left.
...
Inside the Mitel Family Hall, everyone waited quietly, without a trace of impatience. Sixth-Rank Alchemists possessed this qualification, and even if they refused to see them, they couldn't say anything.
Just then, a crisp sound of footsteps approached, and an enchanting figure, accompanied by another person, slowly entered the hall.
Everyone's attention instantly focused on the two figures, but upon closer inspection, a huge question emerged in their minds. Grand Elder? Elegant Young Master?
Jia Xingtian's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that with his strength, he couldn't quite figure this person out!
Liu Yu, led by Yafei, entered the hall. Mitel Tengshan, seeing this, stood up from the main seat and gestured for Liu Yu to sit there.
Liu Yu didn't hesitate. As the Grand Elder of the Mitel Family, he deserved this kind of treatment!
Seeing Liu Yu take his seat, Mitel Tengshan stood aside and introduced the elders.
Liu Yu listened silently. He knew them all, and the only ones he wanted to see this time were Nalan Jie and Jia Xingtian!
"Master Liu, I wonder what elixir you refined earlier?" Fa Ma couldn't help but ask. Although it was abrupt, the beam of light was so astonishing that the elixir must be a high-level sixth-grade elixir!
"Dou Ling Dan!" Liu Yu replied softly.
"Dou Ling Dan?" Fa Ma exclaimed. Although the Dou Ling Dan was a sixth-grade elixir, capable of boosting Dou Wang powerhouses by one star, it was only a relatively low-level sixth-grade elixir. How could it possibly produce such a remarkable phenomenon?
Fa Ma was baffled, but Master Liu couldn't possibly be lying, unless...
"Pharaoh, this Dou Ling Dan is no ordinary Dou Ling Dan!" Mitel Tengshan, seeing Fa Ma's confusion, kindly explained.
Not just any Dou Ling Dan? This remark instantly perked up Nalan Jie and Mu Chen's thoughts.
"Strange fire..." Fa Ma muttered. He couldn't think of anything else that could cause the Dou Ling Dan to produce such a remarkable effect.
"Strange fire!" Everyone present were Dou Wang and Dou Huang masters, so they naturally heard Fa Ma's muttering. While Nalan Jie and the others looked surprised, Mu Chen was more forthright and exclaimed in surprise. Jia
Xingtian glanced at Mu Chen with a hint of disapproval, shouting, "What a disgrace!" This made Mu Chen feel a little "wronged." He couldn't help himself, couldn't he? Fa
Ma was speechless, and glanced at Liu Yu with an apologetic look.
Liu Yu was fine. Once the strange fire was known, it would be known. So, you can't take it from me?
"Master Liu, since you can refine the Dou Ling Dan, what about other sixth-grade elixirs?"
Jia Xingtian stared at Liu Yu with anticipation. He had protected the imperial family for many years, but his lifespan was ultimately limited. Only by breaking through to the Dou Zong realm could he continue to uphold the imperial rule. But without external aid, breaking through to the Dou Zong realm meant life or death!
He wasn't afraid of death, but no one in the current royal family could succeed him. If he died, with the Yunlan Sect outside and the three major families within, the royal family would be in danger!
"Anyone below the seventh rank is acceptable!" Liu Yu's expression was calm, a testament to his confidence!
Fa Ma, Nalan Jie, and Mu Chen were shocked. Jia Xingtian, who usually kept his emotions to himself, also showed excitement, while Mitel Tengshan appeared incredibly calm.
Ya Fei, standing to one side, had a calm expression, but her beautiful eyes were fixed on Liu Yu.
A youthful spirit, a peerless elegance!
"Master Liu, could you refine a Po Zong Dan for me?" Jia Xingtian felt quite uneasy. His emotional upheavals in years had never been greater than today's!
"Bring three sets of herbs. The reward will be one set for Po Zong Dan!" Liu Yu looked at Jia Xingtian, waiting for these words!
"Master Liu, I'll go get the herbs right away!" Jia Xingtian
was overcome with excitement. The royal family had no shortage of herbs; they only needed someone to refine them! Without caring about etiquette, Jia Xingtian moved and disappeared into the hall.
Seeing Jia Xingtian so out of control, Mitel Tengshan and others were also quite moved. They could understand. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he could break through to the Dou Zong level in one fell swoop, the royal rule would be unshakable!
But Liu Yu was a little "distressed". If he had known earlier, he would have asked for a higher reward. Hey, why is he so kind!
"Well, Master Liu, I also want a Dou Ling Dan. I wonder..."
Before Nalan Jie could finish, Liu Yu spoke directly: "Same, bring three sets of herbs yourself, and I'll give you one set of herbs for a Dou Ling Dan!"
Nalan Jie felt relieved. Although it was a bit painful to gather the herbs for four Dou Ling Dan, compared with the increase in strength, it was nothing!
"Master Liu, I want one too!" Seeing that Liu Yu agreed to Nalan Jie's request, Mu Chen hurriedly said anxiously.
"Haha, Clan Leader Mu, don't worry. As long as you follow the rules of an alchemist, I can make any elixir you desire!" Liu Yu chuckled. This Clan Leader Mu was a wonderful person!
"Master Liu, I won't bother you anymore!"
With that, Mu Chen hurried away, leaving Nalan Jie and Fa Ma still sitting nearby.
"Clan Leader Nalan, it seems you have something I need to attend to!" Liu Yu looked at Nalan Jie meaningfully.
Nalan Jie smiled bitterly, knowing this couldn't be hidden from a sixth-rank alchemist! He also spoke, "Master Liu is truly amazing. To be honest, Master, a few months ago, I battled an extremely venomous fifth-rank demon beast, the Branding Iron Poison Seal Python. Although I ultimately killed it, I was also struck by its terrifying toxin. I've suppressed the branding poison now, but I'm afraid it will be there in the future!"
Nalan Jie was filled with regret. He had sacrificed himself for the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva, and he couldn't let anyone know! How miserable he was! He then continued, "If Master can eliminate the branding poison in my body, I will offer you the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva. As a sixth-rank alchemist, Master, you must understand the effects of the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva, which is of great benefit to alchemists!"
To get Liu Yu to help him, Nalan Jie promised a "large sum of money." Compared to his life and the future of the Nalan family, the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva seemed insignificant!
"Okay, in that case, I will eliminate the branding poison for Master Nalan today!"
Xiao Yanzi! I'm sorry, I was forced to do this. The cultivation conditions for the "Xuantian Soul Art" given by this system are too harsh, and I had no choice! Gou System! (Achievement System: ...)
Of course, I will definitely compensate you. How about making Nalan Yanran your concubine again?! Hehe, Liu Yu thought with a rather malicious amusement. (Xiao Yan: ...)
