I don’t know who spread the news, but such rumors spread faster than Li Ye’s other experiences in a short period of time.
And all the major families and the emperor's sect have also heard such news.
"The number one person in Alchemy!"
"Hiss! That's quite loud! No one has dared to call himself that for many years!"
"Yes, even if the Alchemy Emperor doesn't take action, this Alchemy Emperor is the best in alchemy skills, and he is still extremely arrogant!"
Naturally, as soon as such a rumor came out, many people would be unhappy.
In particular, some veteran alchemists in Dongzhou City, including some Alchemy Kings who had lived for more than tens of thousands of years, started to groan angrily when they learned about this.
"A disciple of Emperor Danwu! He has inherited the character of Emperor Danwu back then! However, I don't know how hot he was like Emperor Danwu back then!"
"I think back then, after becoming the Alchemy Emperor, Emperor Danwu fought against seven Alchemy Emperors alone, and finally convinced his opponents. Only then did he get the title of the first person in Alchemy! This boy is just a fledgling now, but he has a lot of talent.
With such a tone, hehe, I would like to have a meeting with him for a while!"
There are many alchemy kings in Dongzhou City. There are even some famous alchemy masters and nine-level alchemy kings who have lived for many years!
Nowadays, several Jiuduan Dan Kings are unhappy because of this matter.
"Longevity Pill! It is indeed Emperor Danwu's unique secret recipe, but it is not enough to prove the level of this man's alchemy skills! It is so ridiculous to claim to be the number one in alchemy like this!"
Just a rumor pushed Li Ye to the forefront in an instant.
Even he himself didn't know about it.
But word spread quickly.
Bai Wukai has now completely decided to follow Li Ye, and he has naturally heard about the recent rumors in Dongzhou City.
After learning about it, he naturally knew that something was wrong.
"This matter is quite detrimental to the young master."
As a veteran of the Jianghu industry for so many years, he understood the conspiracy almost as soon as he heard the rumors.
After all, no one knows better than him what kind of character the young man he is following now has. Not to mention such arrogant words, it is impossible for Li Ye to reveal his disciple in a big way.
"Bai Lao, what should we do about this matter?"
Yan Yang is now learning alchemy from Bai Wukai, and now he has achieved some success and can stand alone. Even after he heard the rumors, he smelled a hint of conspiracy in them.
"Young Master must be told that this matter is by no means simple."
Bai Wukai was just about to notify Li Ye when someone from the Gu family came over.
The person who came was none other than Gu Lie. Now the Gu family regards Li Ye as a worshiper. Even though Li Ye has never promised to become the guest elder of the Gu family or to worship him, the Gu family knows that with Li Ye around, their Gu family will be as stable as Mount Tai!
Especially if you have a good relationship with the disciples of Emperor Danwu, there will be absolutely no harm!
"Bai Lao!"
Gu Lie was also quite polite when he saw Bai Lao.
After all, knowing the identity of Bai Lao, a ninth-level alchemy king, he is enough to be respected wherever he goes.
"It turns out to be Second Young Master Gu. Are you here to see Young Master?"
Now Bai Wukai is no longer secretive. Since Li Ye is the descendant of Emperor Danwu, he will not lose face even if he follows this young man Li Ye. And more importantly, he does not value him like other alchemists.
own reputation.
The Gu family was also interested in recruiting Bai Wukai. Unfortunately, Li Ye beat him to it.
Now Gu Lie just smiled bitterly, "Bai Lao must have heard the news, right?"
"Young Master Gu, are you referring to the recent rumors?"
"It seems that Bai Lao knows about this?"
"It's not what my young master said. Second Young Master Gu should know my young master's temperament. There must be fraud in this matter."
Gu Lie also nodded, "Junior thinks so too, and I also know Brother Li's character."
By chance, Li Ye came out of seclusion.
"Hey, Gu Lie, what are you doing here? The Gu family's next batch of longevity pills hasn't arrived yet."
Seeing Gu Lie, Li Ye looked surprised.
His current agreement with the Gu family is to refine a batch of longevity elixirs for the Gu family over a period of time. The quantity is not large, but it is enough to make the Gu family the leader in the elixir market in Dongzhou City!
"Brother Li, you are still in the mood to joke, haven't you heard the rumors from the outside world?"
Seeing Li Ye's calm expression, Gu Lie felt even more speechless and couldn't help but sigh.
"rumor?"
"Young Master, there are rumors that you claim to be the number one alchemist under the Alchemy Emperor, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of many alchemists in Dongzhou City."
Bai Wukai sighed. He was also an alchemist, so he naturally understood how much trouble such words would cause.
If he hadn't known what Li Ye was capable of, he would have been displeased when he heard these remarks.
"The number one person in Alchemy?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
He is not stupid. You don't need to guess to know that he has definitely become an enemy in the eyes of many alchemists in Dongzhou City.
"Yes, Brother Li, I was worried about this at first, but now, it seems that the news is not coming from Brother Li. This makes people feel strange!"
Gu Lie shook his head, but as if he thought of something, he looked at Li Ye.
The next moment they both said in unison, "Lin family?"
"It seems that Brother Li has come together with me!"
It can be said that Li Ye has only come to Dongzhou City not long ago. Apart from the Helan family that he provoked before, the only enemy that really counts is the Lin family!
Moreover, the Helan family has never expressed its stance, and they even seem to be unaware of Li Ye's appearance.
The only suspect is the Lin family!
"This Lin family! Huh, they have always liked to use such despicable means. Apparently this time, because Brother Li helped my Gu family, their Lin family's wishful thinking failed, and now they are angry at Brother Li."
After saying that, Gu Lie apologized, "This matter happened because of my Gu family, but it caused Brother Li to suffer. I am here to apologize to Brother Li on behalf of the Gu family. In this matter, my Gu family will definitely support Brother Li to the end!"
Li Ye didn't know what the Gu family was thinking.
He even suspected for a moment that this was the work of the Gu family.
But he quickly denied this speculation. Firstly, Gu Lie's eyes were clear and clear without any dodge. Secondly, the head of the Gu family was not a stupid person.
Pushing him to the forefront will not do much good to the Gu family.
On the contrary, if Li Ye becomes angry because of this, breaks with the Gu family, and turns to other aristocratic families, it will be a major blow to the Gu family.
"Whether it was the Lin family or not is just speculation between you and me. Now that the news has spread, it doesn't matter whether it is the Lin family or not."
Just as Gu Lie was about to leave angrily and go to Lin's house, Li Ye stopped him.
The deal was done, and he knew it was better to figure out how to deal with it than to find the culprit.
