Wang Teng was speechless after reading it.
It turned out that the commotion he had caused during these three days of making pills had been captured and shared on the internal web. No wonder so many people came.
He was just making pills. Was there a need for them to come?
"You know this already, right?" Wang Teng asked helplessly.
"That's right, but I wanted to see your reaction after finding out so I didn't tell you in advance. Hahaha… that bewildered expression you had just now was amusing," Round Ball laughed.
"You have a bad sense of humor." Wang Teng sighed in exasperation.
"Haha." Round Ball chuckled.
"What do you plan to do now?" Yue Qiqiao asked using voice transmission.
"What else can I do? Let's go back." Wang Teng glanced around and replied nonchalantly.
"Go back?" Yue Qiqiao was taken aback. However, she quickly regained her composure and gave a subtle and knowing smile.
Wade looked at them curiously but didn't say anything. He followed behind them and got ready to leave.
As soon as he started to leave, the people around finally caught on and began converging towards Wang Teng.
"Please wait!"
"This grandmaster, please wait!"
…
Some people didn't know Wang Teng but that didn't stop them from wanting to know him.
Many of them initially hesitated because they recognized Wang Teng, while others were shocked by his youthful appearance and didn't approach him immediately.

This was Wang Teng's plan.
Those who were willing would take the bait!
If he wanted to leave, someone would ask him to stay.
Otherwise, if he just stood there waiting, it would make him appear too passive.
As expected, he hadn't even taken a couple of steps before someone took the bait.
Wang Teng stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction of the sound.
Several figures swiftly approached. Wang Teng's expression changed slightly. He noticed a faint scent of medicinal herbs emanating from these individuals. It seemed they were alchemists.
Moreover, they weren't just ordinary alchemists. They were grandmaster alchemists!
"Grandmaster…" The figures quickly arrived and bowed in a gesture of respect with smiles on their faces.
"My name is Wang Teng. How do I address you?" Wang Teng returned the gesture and gave a puzzled expression.
"We are also grandmaster alchemists from the academy. We witnessed your alchemy skills over the past few days and admire you greatly. Thus, we hope to get to know you better," a middle-aged grandmaster alchemist said with a jovial smile.
"So, you are all grandmasters!" Wang Teng was a bit surprised by their straightforward approach but it made him feel comfortable.
"Grandmaster Wang Teng, will you be willing to join us for a conversation at our residence?" The grandmaster alchemist glanced around and extended an invitation.
"Sure." Wang Teng nodded.
There were many people around so he didn't want to chat in such a public setting. Besides, he was interested in learning more from these fellow grandmaster alchemists.
"You can go back first. I will inform you when I go back," Wang Teng said to Yue Qiqiao and the others.

"Let's go." Wang Teng turned and spoke to the grandmaster after he gave his instructions.
"Please!" The grandmaster alchemist extended his hand in a gesture, guiding Wang Teng as they flew towards an alchemy room.
The surrounding crowd appeared visibly disappointed when they left. Many saw Wang Teng's true identity and dispersed. However, some remained in place, waiting for Wang Teng to finish conversing with the grandmaster alchemists.
Lin Qian and Yang Meng shook their heads uncontrollably. With so many people around, they wouldn't have a chance to approach.
"I'm afraid Wang Teng will become very popular," Yang Meng said via voice transmission.
"That's right. People like him are destined to stand out," Lin Qian said with a sigh, feeling a bit sentimental.
A few days ago, Wang Teng arrived here with little reputation. Now, he was already the grandmasters' guest. The gap in status was significant.
The members of the Solar Dragon Race didn't leave either. They felt complex and didn't know what to say.
"Wang Teng is a grandmaster alchemist?!" Eventually, Zhulong Shuang was the first to open his mouth and say something. He sounded both puzzled and in disbelief.
"So many people saw it. How can it be fake?" Zhulong Hao rubbed his temple, feeling a bit of a headache. Wang Teng's influence was proving to be beyond his expectations. It looked like things were going to get complicated. At this thought, he couldn't help but glare at Zhulong Shan. "Look at what you've done."
He initially thought that even if Wang Teng wouldn't join them, he wouldn't become their enemy.
However, Zhulong Shan turned him into one.
"How would I know?" Zhulong Shan's expression was grim. He grumbled in protest, "He's just a grandmaster. We have our grandmaster alchemists too."
"Just a grandmaster!" Zhulong Shuang sneered. "He's at the peak of the grandmaster level and he's so young. Did you see the expressions of those grandmasters? They were practically fawning over him. Do you think this is the treatment an ordinary grandmaster will receive?"
Zhulong Shan fell silent. He knew that Zhulong Shuang was right.
If he was just an ordinary Grandmaster, it might not mean much to their race.

He had to admit that his arrogance had attracted an extraordinary and formidable enemy to the Solar Dragon Race.
