"It is indeed the Ninth Grade Blood Coagulation Pill," Fang Yu said, narrowing his eyes.

The Elders all slapped their foreheads in succession.

"I almost forgot that Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor is also skilled in alchemy. But there is the issue of time... Seven days, do you really intend to head to Tiandu Mountain?"

Since it was the Ninth Grade Blood Coagulation Pill, there was hope for recovering the Dantian.

Fang Yu smiled and replied, "Yes, we must go. Seven days is enough."

While everyone was talking.

Ye Wenjun walked down slowly from upstairs.

Her dignified and beautiful appearance quickly attracted the Elders' attention.

They did not recognize who this woman was.

Fang Yu did not hide her identity and directly said, "Wenjun... come here."

Ye Wenjun came to Fang Yu's side and gave a slight bow to the Elders as a greeting.

Fang Yu introduced her, saying, "According to the laws of modern society, this person is my lawful wife, Ye Wenjun."

Lawful wife?

The Elders' eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing their stunned expressions.

Fang Yu recounted the matter of his marriage and explained Ye Wenjun's contributions and how she helped the Fang Family. The Elders' impression of Ye Wenjun greatly improved. After all, the original Dragon Emperor had been betrayed by someone close.

Although Ye Wenjun did not know the identities of the Elders before her.

From Fang Yu's attitude towards them, she could guess their status and sat to the side, patiently listening.

She was very curious to know about these matters.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor..."

Elder Liu Yanghong spoke, "To see the Dragon Emperor once again truly excites us all."

The others also stood up one after another.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, now that you have returned, we are willing to follow you to the death, ready to use our weak and diseased bodies to fight the enemy!"

"Yes! Those days of battles in the Northern Desert, the joy of victory. Ever since Your Majesty suddenly perished, that despicable Ziwei has claimed all the credit, even having the audacity to erect Merit Steles in the Seventy-two Sects to sing her own praises. It's utterly detestable."

At this moment.

Fang Yu raised his arms, signaling everyone to sit down.

The entire hall fell into an eerie silence.

"Please be patient," Fang Yu's voice paused. "Times have changed, today is different from the past. I need to remind you all... modern society is governed by law. It is not like the era a few thousand years ago when Spiritual Energy was abundant, nor the time over a thousand years ago when Spiritual Energy began to decline."

Everyone listened quietly.

"I hope you will no longer call me the Dragon Emperor... I will take back Tiandu Mountain, but I no longer wish to be the Dragon Emperor."

"The era of the Dragon Emperor has passed... I know you all cherish the days when we galloped across the lands together. Time always passes, and even if I were to become the Dragon Emperor again, it would be impossible to recreate the scenes of those days. Time spares no one... Some things will inevitably become memories."

The audience nodded.

Time flies, and this truth is unchanging.

"Just call me 'Teacher,' like the Ice Woman does."

Elder Liu Yanghong was the first to stand up, saying, "Your Majesty is correct... Oh no, starting today, we shall address Your Majesty as 'Teacher'... Teacher is right. The times have changed and we cannot cling to the past. In the past decades, we too have suffered losses at the hands of modern people and have been attacked by so-called modern weapons. This proves that modern people are not foolish at all, but highly intelligent. Moreover, to see Teacher again is something we never even dared dream of. As for titles, that's a secondary matter!"

"Well said! Nice to meet you, Teacher!"

"Ha ha... I'll say my piece as well. Everyone present has once received guidance from Teacher, and addressing him as 'Teacher' is only proper. The times have changed. Tiandu Mountain is no longer the same as before, and the Dragon Emperor is no longer the same."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

They all bowed to Fang Yu, addressing him as Teacher.

"Wait... Teacher Fang said the Ice God is not dead?" someone suddenly asked.

The crowd was startled, only then catching the key point in Fang Yu's earlier words.

Fang Yu smiled and said,

"Indeed, the Ice Woman is not only alive... she is a guest in my residence."

The crowd was in an uproar.

While they were speaking.

A chill approached, and a voice echoed—

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a long time!"

On the second floor, a woman in white stood upright, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below with a chilling intensity.

Those Elders, upon seeing the Ice Woman, couldn't help but shiver.

Back in the day, under threat, they were ordered to search for the Ice God; they never found her on their journey, and in truth, they did not wish to.

"Ice God Hall Master!"

"Ice God Hall Master!"

Everyone bowed.

Fang Yu chuckled and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's make some good plans."

"Plans?"

"Indeed. In seven days... Tiandu Mountain, the Five Great Divine Palaces... will be our next target."

Upon hearing this.

All the Elders and Xie Daoyun could not help but feel excited.

They never expected this day to come so soon.

Heart-stirring.

For the following period of time, the entire hall of the Fang Family was under complete lockdown, and to prevent outsiders from hearing, Fang Yu even activated an Array.

The discussion continued until evening, only then was a basic plan agreed upon.

A plan that everyone consented to.

After finalizing the plans.

The matter of the Blood Coagulation Pills became worrisome.

"Teacher... The plan is solid. But at the moment, our strength has not fully recovered. With only seven days, if half of us do not reach the Supreme Heavenly Rank, I'm afraid it will affect the progress of the plan."

"No matter..." Fang Yu waved his hand, calling for a Fang Family descendant to enter, "Have Jiang Shanshui and Ping Wenfu come in."

"Yes!"

Before long.

Ping Wenfu and Jiang Shanshui arrived in the hall with utmost respect.

Jiang Shanshui was a Second Grade Alchemist, but only after coming to the Fang Family did he truly understand the greatness and mysteries of alchemy. He also fully grasped the gap between himself and Fang Yu, now looking up to Fang Yu with nothing but immense admiration and awe.

Then there was Ping Wenfu. Although he was a Doctor, his experience and foundational knowledge allowed him to learn alchemy quickly. Over this period, he had reached the threshold of a Third or Fourth Grade Alchemist. However, progressing further would not be as easy. Jiang Shanshui even had to address Ping Wenfu as Teacher.

As soon as the two entered the hall and saw all the Elders, they couldn't help but feel confused.

Fang Yu spoke, "This is the Doctor from the Taia Sect, Ping Wenfu. And this is a newly recruited Alchemist of the Fang Family. Although only Second Grade, he has ample knowledge and experience in preparing medicines."

"The Taia Sect?" The Elders were surprised.

Ping Wenfu greeted everyone with a clasped hand.

"He is that Taia Ping Wenfu? I've heard his name; he is an outstanding Doctor."

"Even Taia Ping Wenfu has become a disciple of Teacher?"

Hearing this.

Ping Wenfu kept a composed expression, bowing to Fang Yu, "Teacher, you summoned me here, may I know what for?"

"Disciple?"

The minds of the crowd went blank.
