In this plane, Yan Ruyu is the founding ancestor of the Nine Provinces Continent.
He has created countless lives with his own hands and taught numerous skills. It was also he who transformed his own power into spiritual energy and mental strength.
He is the progenitor of all things and the first person to appear on the Nine Provinces Continent.
From then on, he became an inviolable existence in everyone's heart.
However, at that time, his name was Feng Buran, not Yan Ruyu as it is now.
Yan Ruyu represents the peak of the Nine Provinces Continent. Therefore, whether it is the Zonghui, the Eastern Swamp Wilderness, the Qingyun Kingdom, or every inch of land in this world, there are temples dedicated to him wherever he goes.
People all know that the millennium imperial teacher, Yan Ruyu, has a peerless appearance. He always wears a green robe and holds a long flute in his hand, which he never shows easily. Once the flute is in his hand and the sound of the flute rings out, the lives of living beings will be reduced to ashes.
No one can compete with Yan Ruyu.
Thus, he had been lonely for many years.
As time passed, fewer and fewer people knew that he was still alive. Most of the time, he only existed in legends.
Yan Ruyu pushed open the window on the pavilion and looked into the distance.
In that place, many disciples of the Zonghui were gathered.
People only thought that alchemists were extremely rare in the Eastern Swamp Wilderness, with only about twenty of them. However, this was not the case. Just the number of disciples in the Zonghui alone had reached five hundred.
The news that alchemists were rare was actually spread by Yan Ruyu himself.
Early on, Yan Ruyu had discovered a pattern. Whenever an alchemist appeared among the common people, that alchemist would disappear after a few days. Then, after some time, the alchemist's aura would completely vanish between heaven and earth.
Therefore, there must be a mysterious organization outside the Nine Provinces Continent.
Their goal was either to hunt alchemists or to fulfill some perverted desires with them.
Although up until now, Yan Ruyu still hadn't figured out the exact identity of that organization.
However, to prevent any potential danger, he established the Zonghui and became a behind - the - scenes figure. The Zonghui was a place specifically for accepting alchemists.
Yan Ruyu also built a special protective shield for the Zonghui, which the people from the mysterious organization couldn't penetrate at all.
"Perhaps, that Zhao Huai will be a turning point."
The events that happened a few months ago were still vivid in Yan Ruyu's mind. It was in a small place in the Qingyun Kingdom. The strange - looking black - clothed man, the pitch - black snake, and the inexplicable fire must have something to do with that mysterious organization.
That person should have come from the Ghost Domain.
Now, after analysis, Yan Ruyu thought that the organization he had been looking for might very well be hidden in the Ghost Domain.
What puzzled him was how anyone could survive in such a place.
"If Zhao Huai is really the supreme of the strange beasts, then the Ghost Domain won't be a problem. If we can successfully control his nature by then, the alchemists in the Eastern Swamp Wilderness and the common people on the Nine Provinces Continent will be able to live in peace."
Following Yan Ruyu's gaze, on the high platform, there were densely packed teenagers gathered, among whom there were also quite a few beautiful girls.
When Zhao Huai, dressed in white, appeared and jumped onto the high platform, many people gathered around.
First of all, it was Kong Ye, who had brought him to the Zonghui.
Kong Ye was an exception when he entered the Zonghui. Generally, only those who were at least fourth - grade alchemists could enter the Zonghui. However, Kong Ye was recruited into the Zonghui when he was only a third - grade alchemist, and he had only just broken through to the fourth grade this year.
As for Zhao Huai, no one in the Zonghui knew what grade he was. But as soon as he appeared, he would become the focus of the whole place.
He was mysterious yet extremely attractive.
"You're here."
"Yeah, Master Kong. Long time no see."
Kong Ye quickly smiled and said, "Zhao Huai, why are you being so polite? Although I'm a few years older than you, you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Kong Ye. By the way, I should thank your sister."
Hearing this, Zhao Huai's expression became a bit more cheerful.
"What do you mean?"
"Last time I went back, that little girl Kong Shishuang finally successfully promoted to a third - level spiritual herbalist. Now, she's no longer a repeat student. She's jumped straight to the third level. Let me tell you, that little girl Xiaoshuang—"
"Kong Ye, this seems to have nothing to do with me."
Kong Ye was a bit stunned and then said, "Zhao Huai, didn't you hear about my sister when you were at the Misty Rain Tower?"
Zhao Huai frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and said, "Do I need to?"
Seeing Kong Ye's expression, Zhao Huai added another sentence, "Maybe someone mentioned her, but I might not have paid attention. What does this have to do with my sister?"
Kong Ye thought, are all the people from the Zhao family so cold - blooded? They don't even give any face when retorting.
Xiaoshuang had said that Zhao Huai's younger sister, Zhao Shuning, didn't care about her status as Miss Kong at all when she entered school. She directly forced Xiaoshuang into the lotus pond. Not only did Xiaoshuang get all wet and covered in mud, but she also lost all her face.
Looking at Zhao Huai again, his personality seemed to be somewhat similar to his sister's.
"If the master has nothing else to say, I'll leave."
"Uh—I was going to say that Xiaoshuang and your sister are good friends, and we can also be good brothers—"
However, before Kong Ye could finish this sentence, Zhao Huai had already walked away.
Whether he had heard this sentence or not was another matter.
Zhao Huai was the most mysterious alchemist among all the new students. Many people thought that although he was gentle, he shouldn't be provoked. However, there were also a few people who were not convinced. Seeing him with Kong Ye, they thought that Zhao Huai was a low - level alchemist who got in through connections.
Among alchemists, there were also different ranks.
Those low - level alchemists were not qualified to practice on the same high platform as the high - level alchemists.
Since Zhao Huai's rank had not been determined, after he came to the practice area, he looked around and casually chose a high platform that looked quite comfortable and jumped onto it.
The young man was dressed in white.
With a light leap, he drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Then, the young man landed.
That place turned out to be the altar where the top disciples of the Zonghui practiced.
As soon as the young man's feet touched the ground, the more than five hundred practicing disciples stopped. The low - level alchemists on the lower high platforms all looked at Zhao Huai in disbelief.
On the altar, there was a man.
The man seemed to be about forty years old. He was the great disciple of the inner hall. Although he was the great disciple, his rank was only fifth - grade, which was even lower than that of some newly - promoted teenagers.
This great disciple didn't have much real ability, but he put on quite a show.
"Are you new here?"
Zhao Huai nodded slightly.
"My name is Zhao Huai."
