Fang Bai and the Tempest Immortal Emperor have been separated for a millennium. Naturally, there is much to discuss upon their reunion.

Tang Wenrou, Ye Wumei, Wu De, and Lightning Mink have been waiting outside the great hall for half a day without seeing Fang Bai emerge, feeling both anxious and slightly worried.

"Why isn’t he coming out yet? Could something have happened?"

Ye Wumei frowned slightly, expressing her concern first.

Tang Wenrou pressed her lips tightly, her gaze fixed on the door of the hall, with clenched fists, exuding an air of wanting to burst in.

Lightning Mink was of the same mind.

Wu De glanced at the Gale Immortal Emperor beside him, coughed once, and said loudly, "How could a dignified Immortal Emperor disregard his status to do something unfavorable to a Third Grade Immortal King Realm expert? If word got out, would he not care about his reputation? You’re all overthinking this, right, Upper Immortal?"

The Gale Immortal Emperor, having lived for tens of thousands of years and possessing great wisdom, naturally understood the implication in Wu De’s words and laughed heartily, "This Fat Taoist is right! If our Sect Master wanted to deal with that Wushuang Immortal King, he could wipe him out with a flick of his finger, no need for any cover-ups!"

Realizing his words had belittled the Wushuang Immortal King, especially when he saw the displeased expressions on the faces of Tang Wenrou and the others, the Gale Immortal Emperor quickly added, "Moreover, our Sect Master was a close friend of the Emperor’s Palace Master back in the day. As long as that Wushuang Immortal King truly has ties with the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, our Sect Master certainly wouldn’t make things difficult for him!"

Even the Gale Immortal Emperor felt puzzled, unable to understand why the Sect Master and the Wushuang Immortal King had been conversing for so long. Could it be that he saw the extraordinary talent in the Wushuang Immortal King and wanted to recruit him? But did it really need to take this long!

However, the isolation formation around the Tempest Hall was already activated, so even a strong figure like the Gale Immortal Emperor had no way of barging in. All they could do was continue waiting outside while constantly reassuring Tang Wenrou and the others.

Upon hearing that the Tempest Immortal Emperor was a close friend of the former Emperor’s Palace Master, Tang Wenrou and the rest gained some clarity, thinking it was no wonder Fang Bai hadn’t come out yet; he was meeting with an old friend, and naturally, there would be much to discuss. They just had to wait patiently.

The worry and anxiety on their faces quickly disappeared, replaced by excitement and joy.

The Gale Immortal Emperor found it strange how quickly their expressions changed, completely bewildered.

"That Wushuang Immortal King, how skilled is he in alchemy?"

With nothing else to do, the Gale Immortal Emperor began to inquire about Fang Bai’s matters from Tang Wenrou and the others.

Although Fang Bai claimed to understand alchemy, he had not proven it, leaving the Gale Immortal Emperor uncertain. He wondered to himself, even if this little Third Grade Immortal King Realm Immortal understood alchemy, how brilliant could he be? What if he only knew some inferior alchemy skills? Then how would that differ from being deceived?

His inquiry of Tang Wenrou and the others was to verify through their words whether Fang Bai truly understood alchemy and how advanced his alchemy technique was. With his experience and insight, he could easily discern the truth in what Tang Wenrou and the others said.

Tang Wenrou, having no good feelings towards the Gale Immortal Emperor for his earlier slight against Fang Bai, wrinkled her nose and said nothing, indicating she couldn’t be bothered with him.

Ye Wumei opened her mouth as if to speak but remained silent upon seeing Tang Wenrou’s reaction.

Lightning Mink lifted its head to gaze at the auspicious clouds and immortal birds in the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, maintaining a cool expression.

Thus, the Gale Immortal Emperor turned his attention to Wu De.

Under the gaze of a high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert, Wu De felt immense pressure, swallowed a few times, and gave a dry laugh, "Well, the... Wushuang Immortal King’s alchemy technique is, of course, very advanced... His current cultivation level is the Immortal King Realm, and refining King-grade Immortal Pills is like child’s play to him."

The Gale Immortal Emperor observed Wu De, and after confirming that he wasn’t lying, his eyes began to brighten.

Since that Wushuang Immortal King could easily refine Immortal Pills, he must know the Pill Condensation Technique. If he could pass it on to the Gale Immortal Emperor, with his cultivation level, he could naturally refine Immortal Pills, possibly even of a higher grade.

So, like Tang Wenrou and the others, the Gale Immortal Emperor turned his gaze to the door of the Tempest Hall, eagerly awaiting Fang Bai’s appearance.

Not until the Golden Crow set in the west did the isolation formation around the Tempest Hall disappear.

When Fang Bai and the Tempest Immortal Emperor emerged shoulder to shoulder from the Tempest Hall, the Gale Immortal Emperor’s mouth hung open, his eyes vacant, standing stupidly in place, taking a while to regain his composure.

In his view, only an Immortal Emperor of the same realm and with a close relationship could be treated with such high esteem by his Sect Master in the Immortal Realm. How could an Immortal with just a Third Grade Immortal King realm cultivation be so favored?

The Gale Immortal Emperor knew his Sect Master held the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace in high regard, but the Wushuang Immortal King merely had some connections with the disciples, so why such a grand treatment?

Unable to grasp this, the Gale Immortal Emperor simply stopped pondering over it, knowing that if the Sect Master wanted to explain, he would eventually do so.

Seeing Fang Bai safe and sound, Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as they approached to greet him.

"I merely got along well with the Tempest Immortal Emperor at first sight, and we had many common topics, so we talked a bit longer. Sorry to keep you waiting."

From the two women’s eyes, Fang Bai saw a deep sense of care, and he smiled as he spoke.

"Are these two female immortals your companions?"

The Tempest Immortal Emperor, looking at Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei, asked with a cheerful smile.

The Gale Immortal Emperor glanced at his Sect Master, keenly noticing a hint of respect in his gaze towards Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei.

"With one having a Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable realm cultivation and the other a First Grade Immortal King realm cultivation, though these two female immortals possess extraordinary potential, are they truly worthy of such respect from the Sect Master? What is wrong with the Sect Master today?"

The Gale Immortal Emperor felt his mind was about to fall into chaos.

Ye Wumei blushed deeply under the gaze of the Tempest Immortal Emperor, and even the usually stoic Tang Wenrou seemed a bit uneasy under his scrutiny.

Fang Bai stepped between Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei, taking each of their hands with a smile, and said to the Tempest Immortal Emperor, "Indeed! I’ve got a good eye, don’t I?"

The Tempest Immortal Emperor laughed heartily a few times, stroked his beard, and nodded, "Good! Quite a match!"

Fang Bai introduced, "This is Tang Wenrou, and this is Ye Wumei... I say, Tempest Immortal Emperor, since this is our first meeting, as an Upper Immortal, shouldn’t you prepare some meeting gifts for them?"

As soon as he said this, the Gale Immortal Emperor was momentarily stunned, then he grew angry, thinking how bold this little immortal was to speak to the Sect Master in such a manner! And to directly ask for meeting gifts from the Sect Master, even his personal disciples wouldn’t dare!

The Tempest Immortal Emperor was known for having a bad temper, a well-known fact across the Immortal Realm. The Gale Immortal Emperor felt that no matter how much importance the Sect Master placed on this Wushuang Immortal King, he would likely be displeased after hearing such words.
