Yang Chen returned to his room and began sorting out his thoughts.

Indeed, Yang Caidie was not his biological sister; she was the adopted child of his current body’s parents. Put bluntly, they had no blood relation. As for who Yang Caidie’s birth family was, no one knew.

As for Yang Chen’s parents, he couldn’t even remember their faces within his memories. All he knew was that they had ventured into the Great Wild Hundred Clans in their youth and moved to the bustling area of ​​North Mountain County.

They had not returned for more than a decade, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead. In contrast, he and Yang Caidie were left as orphans, and their status in the Yang family was extremely awkward.

As the saying goes, a child without a mother is like a blade of grass…

If it weren’t for Yang Caidie’s astonishing talent, showing that she was no weaker than the men in the Yang family at such a young age, Yang Chen might have been expelled from the family register long ago.

However, even so, if it were the old Yang Chen, he would have been expelled in the coming three months.

Why would it be so?

In three months, it would be the Yang family’s Coming of Age Ceremony.

This is a Clan Gathering that every young Yang family member must go through. It is a test for the young members of the Yang family. Only after passing this Clan Gathering will they truly gain the acceptance of the Yang family. Half a year ago, the Yang family had promulgated a new system: if the younger generation of the Yang family, who are participating in the Coming of Age Ceremony, did not show the strength of the First Layer Body Refining, they would be immediately removed from the family register.

Being removed from the family register, simply put, means exile, being gradually marginalized by the Yang family. Whether you live or die, no one will care.

Yang Caidie also knew about this. However, she had the mentality of “a dead pig is not afraid of hot water.” With her protecting her younger brother, even if Yang Chen were to be expelled from the family register, she would still support him.

But Yang Chen didn’t want to be so humiliated as to be expelled from the family register at the Coming of Age Ceremony.

“First Layer Body Refining…” Yang Chen muttered, “I’ll set this as my goal for now. Otherwise, if I get expelled from the family register at the Coming of Age Ceremony, the lack of resources would be a huge problem.”

He gradually formed a plan in his mind.

In his previous life, what he was best at was digging out a person’s talent, using alchemy, various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, to cultivate a person with martial aptitude into an outstanding genius. For him, Yang Chen’s current awkward position in the Yang family and rumors of his incompetence might cause some minor obstacles, but ultimately, none of these were major issues.

However, the most troublesome issue now was a lack of resources, as his position in the Yang family was too awkward and he had no access to any.

He possessed vast knowledge, but he was broke and penniless.

Fortunately, he had a clear plan in his heart, and he murmured, “The most outstanding alchemist in the Yang family is the Second Master, one of the seven patriarchs of the Yang family. Today is his lecture day, and it is said that those who can please him will receive many rewards.”

Yang Chen was very interested in this “reward.” As soon as he thought of it, he immediately set off.

“Young Master, are you going out?”

A smile appeared on the face of a servant who was sweeping the courtyard in Yang Chen’s residence.

Yang Chen also observed, though he wasn’t trying to learn. Although Elder Yang’s alchemy level was regarded as legendary within the Yang family, making people admire it, Yang Chen didn’t consider him much. He was observing Elder Yang’s refining process with other thoughts in mind.

What intrigued him was that Elder Yang’s alchemy skills were much better than Yang Heng’s half-baked methods. His technique could be described as skillful and proficient. He had clearly grasped many truths of alchemy.

“Elder Yang knows to add materials before controlling the fire. It seems he knows some intricate details of alchemy.” Yang Chen thought to himself.

Elder Yang refined the pills meticulously. About half an hour later, the aroma from the alchemy furnace began to spread. He slapped the pill furnace, and with a bang, two smooth and round pills jumped out and landed in Elder Yang’s hands.

Elder Yang’s old face revealed a smile, clearly satisfied with the results of the refining. He held the two pills and scanned the crowd.

Upon seeing Elder Yang’s miraculous alchemy skills, many of the Yang family juniors felt envious. But when they saw Elder Yang’s gaze at this moment, they immediately became serious.

Elder Yang stood up and said, “Tell me, during my refining process, I intentionally slowed down my steps and techniques to help you learn better. Who can tell me what they learned from watching my refining process?”

When his words fell, there was silence.

This made Elder Yang’s expression increasingly difficult to maintain.

At that moment, Yang Heng cautiously raised his hand and stood up.

Elder Yang felt a slight moment of joy, “Yang Heng, what did you understand? Tell me.”

“Second Grandfather, when I observed your refining process, I noticed that you added the materials first, then used the Fire Control Wood to create the fire. This is different from the method of igniting the fire first and then adjusting the materials that you taught us before. I think that this step must be the key point for refining the Clear Flame Pills.” Yang Heng spoke confidently.

Elder Yang sighed, his eyes narrowing, “You’ve only seen the surface, but you haven’t truly understood the essence. Sit down.”

His words were quite tactful.

Yang Heng’s answer was like a blindfolded person trying to hit a target; he hadn’t even grasped the outer layer properly.

He had originally thought that by refining a first-grade high-level elixir on the spot and teaching the process today, he could discover some alchemy geniuses among the younger generation of the Yang family before the Coming of Age Ceremony. But he didn’t expect the result to be like this; the most outstanding alchemy genius, Yang Heng, could only provide such a reply.

“Does anyone else here understand anything from my refining process just now?” Elder Yang asked with a solemn expression.

“Second Grandfather, I…”

Next, several other young members of the Yang family tried their luck by answering, hoping to please Elder Yang. After all, gaining Elder Yang’s favor was a blessing for the younger generation. Everyone knew that Elder Yang had no descendants, his entire life had been devoted to alchemy and the protection of the Yang family.

Gaining his favor meant receiving Elder Yang’s true inheritance.

However, the answers from these youngsters failed to please Elder Yang. Instead, the old man’s expression became more and more displeased, showing signs of anger.

“Your answers have disappointed me greatly! Do you really think you can trick me with your wild guesses? Alright, does anyone else want to answer?” Elder Yang sighed, having already lost hope at that point.

It was at this moment that Yang Chen, who was standing in the corner, raised his hand.

“Second Grandfather, I think I might have understood something.” Yang Chen said without sadness or joy.
