Chapter 1432 - 1432 Arrangement and Departure
1432 Arrangement and Departure
Chu Yunfan finally understood. It was similar to what he had guessed. In this area, besides Great Wei and Jingzhanghan, there was the kingdom of Great Qi to the east of Great Wei. It was basically a situation where three forces stood side by side.
Relatively speaking, Jingzhanghan was the most powerful in terms of military strength, followed by Great Qi. Great Wei was at the bottom in all aspects. Because Great Wei had been established for the shortest time, it could not compare to the other two sides in many aspects.
However, just Great Wei alone was huge. Therefore, many people were not very clear that there were other countries outside Great Wei. To them, Great Wei was the entire world.
Although the three kingdoms did not have large-scale wars in recent years, there was no lack of open and secret struggles. Although the Alchemist a.s.sociations of each country were subordinate organizations of the headquarters, their members were all locals of each country. Therefore, it was inevitable for them to be hostile to each other. Under the strict ban of the headquarters, they had to maintain harmony on the surface, but there was no lack of scheming in the dark, and this Small Pill Origin Meet was a microcosm of the three great countries’ open and secret struggles.
Among the three kingdoms, Great Wei’s Alchemist a.s.sociation had been at the bottom for years. Gongsun Wulong was starting to get anxious. This would have a huge impact on his promotion to the headquarters. Therefore, he came to find Chu Yunfan, a high-level alchemist who was suspected to have the strength of an alchemy expert.
“Is the strength of Great Wei that weak?” Chu Yunfan asked with some doubt. In fact, the strength of Great Wei’s Alchemist a.s.sociation was far above the Alchemist a.s.sociation of the Federation.
The Federation’s Alchemist a.s.sociation, which had just developed for hundreds of years, could not compare to Great Wei in this aspect. It could not even be compared to a fraction of Great Wei. But even with such powerful skills, it had been at the bottom of the rankings for years.
“I won’t hide it from you, Master Chu. In the past years of the compet.i.tion between the three kingdoms, Great Wei has always been at the bottom. It’s not only our a.s.sociation, but the overall strength of Great Wei is weak among the kingdom.”
Gongsun Wulong told a cruel truth. The weakest of the three kingdoms, Great Wei, had no other choice, especially when facing Jinzhanghan. They could only defend themselves.
“In the Small Pill Origin Meet, the true deciding factor is the number of alchemy experts. However, the total number of alchemy experts in Great Wei is only a handful while those in Great Qi and Jinzhanghan far exceeds this,” Gongsun Wulong said, “In addition, some of us have to stay in Great Wei and can’t all go together. Only two or three of us can go each time, and we end up being at the bottom in the end. But this time, we hope you will come with us, Master Chu. At that time, the scene will be much better than before.”
Chu Yunfan could tell that Gongsun Wulong’s greatest hope was to make Great Wei look better. He had never thought of winning. After all, whether it was in terms of foundation or the strength and number of alchemists, Great Wei was far inferior.
It was already good enough that he did not look so bad. As for winning, that was undoubtedly a fantasy. Alchemy required experience from countless failures. A seemingly inconspicuous discovery could be the result of countless repeated experiments. He couldn’t use any tricks.
Chu Yunfan thought for a moment and said, “All right, I’ll partic.i.p.ate in the Small Pill Origin Meet. When and where it will be?!”
Gongsun Wulong was overjoyed and said, “That’s great! With you joining us, Master Chu, our strength will increase greatly. This time, the meet will be held in a basin in the northern outer region in a month.”
In his opinion, with Chu Yunfan’s partic.i.p.ation, their strength would immediately increase greatly. Even Kong Buyi, who was beside him, revealed a somewhat excited expression.
Chu Yunfan nodded and did some calculations. He was going to the outer realm to find news of Tang Siyu anyway, so it was impossible for him to stay in Great Wei permanently.
Since Yun Huang had accepted the t.i.tle of imperial advisor, it had officially expressed the Monster Subduers’ stance. With Yun Huang and Monster Subduers backing them, the various large factions in the world had to be careful. Even without Chu Yunfan, it would not affect the world’s situation. This way, he could leave without worry.
And this Small Pill Origin Meet was a pretty good opportunity. As for making the situation not too ugly, he had never thought of such a boring thing. Since he was going, he had to become the champion.
He could also take a look at the strength of alchemy in the Spirit Realm and see how far it had developed. However, he did not tell Kong Buyi and Gongsun Wulong these words. To the two of them, these were undoubtedly beyond the limits of their imagination.
“Master Chu, are you planning to leave with us? Or do you want to wait for a while before rushing over yourself?” Gongsun Wulong asked again.
“I can go on my own. With time and an address, I’ll get there,” Chu Yunfan said. Anyway, he had a whole month, so he was not in a hurry.
“All right, then we’ll get ready to go on our way,” Gongsun Wulong said.
Then, Gongsun Wulong and Kong Buyi left.
Chu Yunfan began to arrange the matters in Great Wei. He first went to the imperial palace and told Emperor Wei Wuya about his departure. Wei Wuya’s expression was extremely complicated. He was reluctant to let Chu Yunfan leave, but also relieved.
He didn’t want Chu Yunfan to leave when the situation was yet completely stable. On the other hand, Chu Yunfan didn’t have any thoughts of going further, which made him heave a sigh of relief. This was the best situation he had expected. If Chu Yunfan didn’t fight for power, he could relax.
“Master Chu, do you really have to leave? I still need your help,” Wei Wuya said after taking a deep breath.
Chu Yunfan glanced at Wei Wuya and said, “With Master Yun’s help, you don’t have to worry about others rebelling, Your Majesty. It’s actually the same with or without me.”
Seeing that Chu Yunfan had seen through his intentions, Wei Wuya couldn’t help but feel a little embarra.s.sed. However, he quickly regained his composure and said, “In that case, I won’t force you to stay. I’ll announce to the public that the imperial advisor is in seclusion.”
“Yeah, sure.” Chu Yunfan smiled.
After speaking to Wei Wuya, Chu Yunfan returned to the imperial advisor residence. After informing Chu Yaowei of this matter, he immediately left the capital and rushed to the meet.
