When the eyes of the man met the cold eyes of the woman who was glaring at him, his throat ran dry and his entire body turned stone cold

” Oh, did you just say you will do whatever you want?” Fu Jingling asked in a cold voice

” N-no” the man stuttered in nervousness

” It looks like you do not want to stay here anymore, who gave you the courage to violate the rules of Alchemist Hall, it seems that I will have to ban you from the hall” Fu Jingling said

” No, y-you can’t do that to me I am the grandson of-” the man was about to continue but an elderly voice chimed into their conversation

” Hmm, what is the going on here?” a middle-aged man with a long black beard wearing a cloak which had three stares engraved on the back was looking at the receptionist’s table in confusion, beside him was a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair, and eyes which seemed to radiate wisdom

” Oh isn’t it Lady Jingling, I have not seen you in the Alcehmist hall for a few months, how have you been?” the man asked politely

” Yang Baihu, I am doing well but looks like you are doing even better now that you are a 3-star Alchemist” Fu Jingling said with a neutral look

” Hahahaha, indeed it was quite difficult to pass the assessment but you already know that since you are also 3-star Alchemist like me” Yang Baihu stated with a smile as he stroked his beard

” By the way, what did my grandson do that you are so displeased with him?” Yang Baihu asked

” Oh, so he is your grandson, no wonder he had the courage to violate the Alchemist Hall rules” Fu Jingling said which caused a frown to appear on the man’s face

” Yang Bin, what have you done to anger Miss Jingling, is she saying the truth that you violated the rules?” Yang Baihu asked in a stern tone which caused the man in question to swallow a mouthful of saliva in nervousness, he knows how strict his Grandfather can be when it involves something related to the Alchemist hall

” T-T-T-That, I-I was j-just….” before Yang Bin could even form a proper sentence, Yang Baihu signaled him to close his mouth

” If I may ask Lady Jingling, what did he do to offend you?” Yang Baihu asked after glaring at Yang Bin

” He did not do anything to me, but he was trying to abuse his authority to prevent the man standing beside me to take the Alchemy assessment exam” Fu Jingling informed pointing her finger toward Wang Ming

Yang Baihu and the woman beside him looked at Wang Ming who they ignored previously and now they were shocked to see his appearance when they finally paid attention to him

‘ Heavens, what a handsome man, now I know why the hell did my idiot grandson cause trouble to him, he must be jealous of his looks, heck even I am jealous of his looks… Fuck you’ Yang Baihu cursed in his head while staring at Wang Ming with eyes filled with jealousy

‘ Fuck don’t curse me, I cannot do anything if the heavens have blessed me with such a handsome face, so stop looking at me with that kind of eye ‘ Wang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the look that man was giving, he was accustomed to these kinds of looks that men gave him when they saw him for the first time

” Damn, I cannot blame him for being jealous due to your looks, heck I think I might have also done the same thing” Yang Baihu muttered under his breath but everyone could hear what he was saying, Wang Ming’s mouth was twitching, Shi Yu was trying her best to hold her laughter, Bai Lingxi lips curved up in amusement, Fu Niu and Fu Jingling looked at the man with a shocked expression while Yang Bin almost teared up that his Grandfather had the same thought as him

“* Cough*, Yang Bin why did you hinder him from taking the assessment?” Yang Baihu asked with a cough to divert their attention from him when he noticed the gazes directed at him

” Sigh, I apologize, eh, what is your name?” Yang Bin asked while looking at Wang Ming in embarrassment

” Wang Ming” the man in question replied

” I apologize for my early behavior Wang Ming, it just irked me that someone who did not even have any former contact with Dao of Alchemy was trying to attempt the assessment, I have seen such people before who just came here thinking Alchemy is easy and end up failing, and as a result, they waste our valuable time and resources” Yang Bin apologized while lowering his head

” Sigh, it’s fine” Wang Ming said when he saw the sincere apology

” Even though we are not allowed to refuse a person from attempting the assessment but this is the first time I am seeing someone taking the assessment without ever having contact with Alchemy, are you sure you want to attempt it, young man, if the examiners think you are wasting their time and you fail, they might ban you from entering the hall ever again ” Yang Baihu asked

” It’s fine I believe he can do it, I am the one recommending him after all” Fu Jingling replied instead of Wang Ming

” Oh, you are the one recommending him, in that case, he must be special, by the way, young man do you belong to any sect?” Yang Baihu asked

” No” Wang Ming replied

” In that case, if you do pass the assessment exam which I believe you will because being recommended by a 3-star Alchemist like Lady Jingling you cannot be simple, I would like you to invite to join our sect” Yang Baihu said with a smile on his face

” Oh, I do plan on joining a sect but I do not know what kind of sect you belong to” Wang Ming said

” I belong to the Pure Herb Sect which is an Alchemy sect and all the Cultivators who are Alchemist dream of joining the sect, moreover I am the supreme leader of the sect and if you do have talent then I might take you as my personal disciple, so would you like to join our sect?” Yang Baihu asked and was smiling as he was sure that an aspiring Alchemist like Wang Ming would be unable to refuse such a tempting offer

” Gr-Grandfather are you serious, you have not taken any disciple in your entire life, and even when I asked you to guide me you declined saying you don’t have time for teaching anyone, what’s so special about him that you are willingly to make an exception? ” Yang Bin cried out loudly at the unfairness while pointing his finger at Wang Ming

” It’s just a hunch that he will be an extremely talented Achemsi in the future and moreover can’t you see that he is a Golden Realm Cultivator” Yang Baihu informed, Yang Bin checked Wang Ming’s Cultivation which he ignored due to jealousy that took over him and after he was done checking his eyes widened in shock, and horror

” Sigh, I am grateful for your offer but I have to reject the offer” Wang Ming replied

Yang Bin and Yang Baihu were a bit shocked due to the refusal while the woman beside Yang Baihu was one step away from tearing Wang Ming apart which was noticed by everyone

On the other hand, Yang Baihu did not show any form of dissatisfaction or anger upon being rejected by a youngster like him but was curious instead

” I did not expect a refusal from you, normally most individuals start jumping when they hear this kind of offer, but you, on the other hand, are refusing such a golden opportunity, can you tell me why would refuse such an opportunity??’ Yan Baihu asked

” You see I already made up my mind to join a sect, so I have to refuse” Wang Ming replied politely

” What kind of Alchemy sect could provide you better resources than the Pure Herb Sect that you are choosing a random sect over such a prestigious sect?” Yang Baihu said mildly offended

” Oh no, you misunderstood, it is not an Alchemy sect but a Dual Cultivation Sect” Wang Min replied

Everyone was shocked when they heard his words but later their eyes widened in realization

” You are a Dual Cultivator??” Yang Baihu asked in a shocked voice

” Indeed, I am” Wnag Ming replied with a smile

” The heavens are truly unfair, not only are you handsome but also a Dual Cultivator, heck why can’t I be lucky like you” Yang Bin said with even more jealousy in his eyes as he looked at Wang Ming

” Brother, stop acting like a kid, why do you want to be a manwhore like him, aren’t you ashamed of yourself” the woman who was silent all this time spoke in annoyance

” Yang Baihu, who is this maiden?” Fu Jinglin asked in a cold voice not liking the way he addressed Wang Ming

” I apologize but I cannot bear anyone looking down on elder Baihu, Wang Ming I challenge you to an Alchemy duel, if you lose you have to join our sect, do you dare accept ?” the woman asked Wang Ming in a provoking tone
