The creature pulling the carriage looked similar to a horse. It was huge, but it had wings and a single horn. it was covered in purple patterns, and there were faint flashes of lightning around it. It was the spiritual beast, “Thunder”.

It was said that Thunder could travel a thousand miles in a day and was an excellent mount. However, it was rare in the market and could not be bought even with money.

But now, there were four of the beasts in front of them, and they were even being used to pull the carriage. This showed how generous Alchemy King, Gu Xi, was. Thinking of Han Yue’s request, everyone did not dare to be negligent.

“Welcome Alchemy King Gu Xi.”

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted through the air. Alchemy King Gu Xi strode out. With a single glance, he already knew these people’s cultivation and strength.

On the other hand, a few disciples had their eyes above their heads. They looked at the people present and could not help but mutter, “They can’t be compared to those powerful sects indeed.”

Shen Hai, Xie Yixuan, and the rest naturally heard it as well. Their expressions stiffened slightly, but they remained calm. After all, they couldn’t afford to offend Alchemy King Gu Xi.

The few Thunder spiritual beasts had already been taken away by the Tai Qing Sect disciples to rest.

Shen hai walked a step forward and said, “Alchemy King, it’s been a long journey. Why don’t you…”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted. “No need. Let’s end this quickly. Your sect master has invited me to give a lecture. Let’s start now. ”

Although Shen Hai was a little unhappy to be interrupted, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction when he thought of the identity of the person. So, he quickly agreed.

“Alright, I’ll gather all the disciples now. Please wait a moment, alchemy king.”

Shen Hai didn’t dare to delay any further and immediately sent someone to inform all the disciples.

On the other side, Ye Xuan carried a lot of things to the stable with a regular expression.

The people here seemed to be used to his arrival. They greeted him enthusiastically, ” “Elder Ye is here to feed the horses again today.”

Ye Xuan nodded and handed over a few spirit stones to them. Their smiley faces became even brighter. These spirit stones could probably be exchanged for quite a lot of gold, silver, and treasure.

As the stables were filled with ordinary horses with no future or income, even the low-grade odd-job workers did not come here. Therefore, the people who were hired to look after the horses were the villagers nearby. Usually, they would feed the horses and clean the place. The work was effortless.

But recently, the job of feeding the horses had been taken over by Ye Xuan.

Looking at his back as he walked away, the villagers felt weird.

“He doesn’t look like an elder. He’s just no different from us, and he even fed the horses himself. These’re just ordinary horses. What’s the point of going through so much trouble?”

It wasn’t that they were belittling Ye Xuan. Instead, they were very welcoming of his arrival because he was easy to approach and generous.

“Zhang Laosan, you’re the only one who talks a lot. Elder Ye is so good. He gives spirit stones every time he comes, which can be exchanged for a lot of money. How I wish he comes often.”

Zhang Laosan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

“That’s not what I meant. I just feel that it’s strange. Aren’t the elders all very busy and have their eyes on the top of their heads? Just look at the disciples that we usually meet. Which one of them isn’t arrogant and always ignores us?”

When he said this, the others thought the same too.

“I’ve secretly inquired about it. Elder Ye’s status in the Tai Qing Sect is very high, and he is quite respected by those disciples.”

“Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen such an approachable person who feeds the horses personally.”

“Maybe this is his special hobby. Stop talking about this. It’s not good if others heard us. No matter how kind he is, he is still an elder.”

“But then again, the fodder given by Elder Ye is really good. I’ve never seen it before.”

There were a lot of grass dregs on the ground, obviously from Ye Xuan. Zhang Laosan casually picked up a little, and a strange fragrance assailed his nose. He couldn’t help but feel surprised.

Zhang Laosan couldn’t help but tease, “You guys smell it. There’s even a fragrance. I’m afraid that this thing can even be eaten by humans, let alone horses.”

The crowd burst into laughter, but they did not notice the abundant spiritual energy on the grass. After all, they were just ordinary people, and they did not draw Qi into their bodies. They naturally did not know what these things were.

If it was an ordinary disciple, he would be able to feel the spiritual energy within it even if he did not know what it was.

A neighing sound came from not far away, which made Zhang Laosan and the others even more surprised.

“It’s strange though. Why haven’t we seen these animals so excited when we fed them in the past? Elder Ye only fed them once and they seemed to have recognized him. They started to neigh from afar before he even came close.”

“That’s right. Elder Ye really has good means. Perhaps this is the special thing about cultivators.”

Ye Xuan still didn’t know about the gossip.

Hearing his footsteps, the horses seemed to know he was coming. They neighed even more as if they were urging him to come.

“I’m here. I’m here.”

Ye Xuan comforted the horses, and they seemed to understand him. Their voices gradually became softer, and their hooves kept digging the ground. They were obviously very excited.

With a wave of his hand, everything in his hands fell into the stable like free cabbages.

Looking at the horses eating hard, Ye Xuan muttered to himself, “You guys should be barely able to do it even without spiritual beasts. You’ve eaten so much of my spiritual herbs, so you have to put in some effort. Don’t waste the food.”

The horses wagged their tails and made very loud sounds with their noses as if they were responding to Ye Xuan.
