Sikong Xuan waited for the two to enter the room, then he immediately motioned for Situ Muxue to leave.
He smiled apologetically and said, “Young Master Gu, I’m sorry.”
“Although it’s a little presumptuous, these two honored guests want to see you so they asked me to introduce them to you.”
Hearing this, Lu Ming met their gazes. He was still seated on the armchair and didn’t do anything to welcome them. He simply nodded his head.
“What can I do for you two?”
He still maintained his cold appearance and spoke indifferently.
Seeing this, Fu Cheng didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down as well.
After that, his gender-neutral voice sounded from under the black robe.
“I heard from Pavilion MasterSikong Xuan that you are the one who provided the medicinal pills with 100% completion rate today?”
“That’s right.”
Lu Ming was fully aware of his value in Sikong Xuan’s heart. The latter couldn’t tell others about him so easily.
As a result, either the two of them came from a powerful force, forcing Sikong Xuan to speak up; or they had to be of the same rank as the West Ocean Sword Sect.
Sikong Xuan had been very polite to Lu Ming.
o matter how the people of Green Mountain City tried to be nice to him, Sikong Xuan didn’t even bother to pay them a glance.
[t must be that these two people had guessed his identity, therefore, he had admitted it frankly.
“Good. Young Master Gu has mastered such a terrifying alchemy skill at such a young age. Have you ever thought of finding a backer?”
Because of the hood, he couldn’t see Fu Cheng’s emotional changes.
As soon as he finished his words, Sikong Xuan’s expression turned ugly.
it was because when these two people had asked him to bring them here, they had only asked about Young Master Gu’s identity. He didn’t even say anything else.
However, to his surprise, at this moment, Young Master Gu didn’t directly agree or deny it.
nstead, he asked with interest, “Backer? What backer? What kind of backer?”
Lu Ming was still a little curious about the other party’s identity.

n addition, compared to others trying to get information out of him, he preferred to get information out of others.

Following Lu Ming’s question, the middle-aged guard who had been standing behind Fu Cheng in the room suddenly moved.

Under the shocking eyes of Sikong Xuan, the middle-aged guard slowly came to the table and sat down. As he sat down, the environment around him changed like a ripple caused by a falling bluestone.
“The seventh prince of the Great Xia Kingdom.”

The moment Jing Yuan sat down, he changed back to his original appearance and his voice rang out.

As this scene appeared before Sikong Xuan, his pupils started to quiver.

Seventh… Seventh prince?!

After he had seen the token, he had thought that the other party might be the son of the prince or a relative of the emperor.

But he had never expected that the person who came was a prince.

And it was the seventh prince who was extremely famous!

This…

Sikong Xuan felt the surprises he had experienced today were more than what he could have in his lifetime.

“Sikong Xuan greets the seventh prince.”

Seeing that the other party had suddenly revealed his identity, Sikong Xuan, who was born in the Great Xia Kingdom, naturally chose to bow at once.

As he bowed, his thoughts surged.

He became even more curious about the reason why these two people appeared here.

Before the auction started, he thought that these two people were aiming for the Nascent Soul Stage talisman.

However, after the auction ended, as he watched the other party bid for the Foundation Establishment pill and the marrow cleansing pill, he was a little puzzled as to why a member of the royal family was here.
Even after knowing the other party’s identity, Sikong Xuan was still a little confused.

Of course, he knew that the seventh prince’s current cultivation level was only at the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage, so these two types of pills were very suitable.

However, he had only learned about Young Master Gu after Alchemist Tan brought him here four hours earlier.

As for the seventh prince, he couldn’t know that there were pills with a 100% completion rate earlier than he did.

“Get up.”

Jing Yuan, with his straight brows and starry eyes, said with a smile.

He chose to reveal his identity at this time because he had already obtained the marrow cleansing pill and Foundation Establishment pill. He no longer had to worry about his identity being exposed.
If someone found out that he had consumed the Foundation Establishment pill, which had a normal completion rate of only 75%, he might be doubted by many people in the capital.
But it was different now.

In his hands was the Foundation Establishment pill which had a completion rate of 100%.

After he consumed the marrow cleansing pill again, his cultivation aptitude would rise to another level.

Then it would be impossible to hear about rumors of him being inferior to the third prince in the capital again.

Jing Yuan knew very well that after the auction of the medicinal pills in Green Mountain City, news of it would spread throughout Great Xia.

Since he couldn’t hide it, he might as well use it to pave the way for himself.

At that time, he could openly use the remaining pills in his hands to do some things.

Then, Jing Yuan turned his head to look at Lu Ming.

“What do you think?”

Of course, Lu Ming wouldn’t bow. Seeing that the other party was looking at him, he replied, “Seventh prince?”

“This is indeed a pretty good backer.”

Of course, Lu Ming didn’t know or care who this person was. But seeing Sikong Xuan’s behaviour and that the other party was a prince, he considered Jing Yuan to be a pretty good backer.
“However, in reality, these medicinal pills weren’t refined by me, but by my master.”

“I’m just making a trip on behalf of my master.”

“My master likes peace. He should be in seclusion right now.”

Lu Ming replied to them. He made it clear that he wasn’t the person who refined the medicinal pills and also implied that they could cooperate.

The seventh prince, Jing Yuan, observed that after Lu Ming had revealed his identity, the latter was neither servile nor overbearing, and was as calm as water.

Furthermore, when he heard Lu Ming mention his master and combined with Fu Cheng’s previous speculation, he immediately deduced that Lu Ming should be the disciple of an Alchemy Master and he often came into
contact with important figures with noble identities.

Otherwise, he couldn’t act so calmly at this time.

“I see.”

“It is fate that we get to meet each other today. How about we become friends?”

After discerning the meaning behind Lu Ming’s words, the seventh prince immediately changed his stance.
Although his true goal was to make friends with the other party’s master, he was ultimately not stupid enough to directly say it out loud.
In the face of the seventh prince’s initiative to express goodwill, Lu Ming knew his true intentions.
However, wasn’t he also luring the seventh prince into taking the bait?

“Gu Zecang.”

He opened his mouth and said his name.

“Jing Yuan.”

The seventh prince did not get angry because of Lu Ming’s attitude. Instead, he replied amicably.

After all, Lu Ming had revealed his identity. In addition, there were many small dynasties now and cultivation sects were everywhere. Before he officially became the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, his identity as a
prince was not enough to be respected to the extreme.

“Good, it’s a pleasure to meet Brother Gu.”

“This is my royal family’s token. If anything happens in the future, or if Brother Gu comes to the Great Xia Kingdom, we can meet at any time.”
After Jing Yuan handed over the token, he immediately stood up and his appearance began to change.

He was fully aware that he had said enough and this was the best time to end it here.

“Definitely.”

Lu Ming stood up to receive the token and spoke courteously.

Of course, he would keep this token and this was also one of his goals.

After all, if it was time for him to leave the sect to patrol, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a backer?

“Take care.”

Sikong Xuan originally wanted to send them off but was stopped by Jing Yuan with a glance.

The two of them disappeared outside the room and then left the star-picking pavilion.

At the same time, seeing the two of them leave, Lu Ming suddenly remembered that his disguise powder seemed to only have two hours left.
He looked at Sikong Xuan.

Then, without waiting for him to speak, Sikong Xuan took the storage ring from Tan Gusong who was standing outside and said with a smile, “Young Master Gu, please receive the spirit stones from the pill auction.”.
