"Father, I know you may not believe it! In fact, if Master Lu hadn't confirmed it himself, I wouldn't have believed it either. But this is absolutely true!"

"This Yang Tian is not even 100 years old, yet he is indeed a master in both alchemy and the art of crafting magical treasures!" Nalamfu sighed.

"Father, this is the truth!"

Mr. Lu immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Mr. Yang, in front of my sister and me, repaired a top-grade divine artifact on the spot. This… This is the most critical skill of alchemy masters—the Void Alchemy Technique! Thus, he… he is absolutely an alchemy master!"

After hearing Master Lu's words, Nalan Siod remained silent for a moment.

Just as Yang Tian had judged, Nolan Xiongde indeed had some understanding of Yang Tian and harbored the intention to either lure or coerce him into serving his purpose!

After all, alchemy masters in the Magic Realm are not as important as they are in other realms.

Because anyone who has practiced knows that cultivation relies on one's own insight and effort, and while pills are important, they function mostly as auxiliary aids!

If one always relies on pills, then even if one establishes some harmony with their aid, they will only remain the weakest among their peers, easily bested by talented prodigies of the same level!

Magic is different!

In the ever-fighting Magic World, the consumption of magic is imaginable, let alone magical treasures in hand, which are often accompanied by a strong and unyielding will!

But now, Nalan Kongde realized that what he thought he could attain...

The forces operating behind the scenes—are they completely unimaginable?

Upon hearing her father Nolan Kongde's words, Nalan only took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

Even though she was a rare genius within the Nolan Family, her experience was ultimately shallow. Coupled with the Ghost Emperor's son's earlier warning, which frightened her greatly and muddled her thoughts, she now felt only confusion, mechanically nodding in agreement.

Seeing such an expression on his daughter, Nalan Xiong felt his daughter still required more training. He then slowly said, "Fu'er, you don't need to carry too much psychological burden. After all, this is merely some speculation from your father!"

"Yes... Daughter understands!"

Hearing her father say this, Nalanfu took a deep breath, calming herself down.

After discussing Yang Tian's identity and their approach toward him, Nalan Xiongde asked, "By the way, you mentioned earlier that Yang Tian wanted to exchange something with Ning Sandan. What was it?"

"The Gluttony Bone!" Nalamfu promptly responded.

"The Gluttony Bone?"

Upon hearing Nalamfu's mention of it, Xiongde frowned slightly, his expression resembling that of Yang Tian when Nalamfu had brought it up earlier.

As the leader of Rulan Star, Nalan Kongde knew where the Gluttony Bone resided!

But at the same time, he also knew that the Taotie Bone was currently unattainable!

Because it belonged to someone within the Nolan Family who could not be offended!

And this person was so powerful that even Nalan Kongde dared not consider provoking them!

"Is there nothing else that can substitute for it?" Nalan Xiong hesitantly asked after a long silence.

"Father!"

Shaking her head, Nalamfu replied, "Your daughter also knows how difficult it is to acquire the Gluttony Bone, so she asked Yang Tian if he would agree to exchange it for something else. But he seems fixated on the Gluttony Bone and will accept nothing else!"

"I see!"

Hearing this, Nalan Kongde couldn't help but sigh again.

If he hadn't learned about Yang Tian's dual-master status before today, none of this trouble would have arisen.

As the ruling family of Yulan Star, the Nolan Family's willingness to barter with Yang Tian for a Tranquilizing Pill was already a generous act in itself!

If Yang Tian failed to recognize their goodwill and cooperation, Nalan Xiongde wouldn't hesitate to seize him, brand his soul with a mark, and reduce him to a slave!

But now, knowing Yang Tian's revered status as a dual master and suspecting his potential ties to the Ghost Emperor, such means were out of the question!

As the foremost leader of the Nolan Family, Nalan Xiong always prioritized the family's broader interests!

One cannot afford to act recklessly for personal gain in times of uncertainty.

If Yang Tian really turned out to be the Ghost Emperor's son or had some terrifying hidden backing, then the only path waiting for the Nolan Family would be utter destruction!

Yet, Nalan Xiongde had made up his mind—he had to acquire what was in Yang Tian's possession!

After all, the advancement of an alchemy master was the key to taking the Nolan Family further!

"Can we give up on this matter?"

Even after pondering for a long time, Nalan Xiongde could not find a solution. He sighed deeply.

At this moment, however, Nalamfu spoke up, "Father, I don't think we need to!"

"Oh? What idea do you have, Fu'er?" Nalan Lord asked curiously.

With a faint smile, Nalamfu responded, "Actually, we don't need to place the Gluttony Bone into Yang Tian's hands to secure the pill. After all, whether it's Yang Tian's obsession with the Gluttony Bone or the bone's rarity itself, I believe he'll be willing to offer a price—even if it's just for a shred of information!"

Hearing Nalamfu's suggestion, Nalan Xiongde's eyes suddenly lit up. He said enthusiastically, "Fu'er, you mean we don't actually need to acquire the Gluttony Bone ourselves, but merely provide Yang Tian with its location?"

"Exactly!"

Nalamfu nodded. "That individual took the Gluttony Bone from our Orchid Star long ago to forge his own magic weapon; otherwise, he wouldn't have organized the Alchemy Tournament every century during the demon rituals. This is your opportunity, Father."

"Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

Nalan Xiong laughed heartily, praising, "Fu'er, your suggestion is brilliant! That lord organizes the alchemist tournament specifically to find capable alchemists to craft the weapons he needs. And Yang Tian happens to be an alchemy master! Sharing this information not only helps us but also opens another pathway—it's a perfect two-pronged strategy!"

Seeing her father so delighted, Nalamfu allowed a faint smile to surface.

It must be noted that the Magic Kingdom is divided into the four domains—East, South, West, and North, with a supreme god presiding over each domain.

However, Nalamfu and her family belonged to the northern magical dominion.

To possess news of the Gluttony Bone...

And to think of using it as leverage against Yang Tian...

Hearing this rhetoric, even the wisest Chilean representatives frowned.

Yang Tian and Nalamfu had originally agreed to trade the Gluttony Bone for the alchemical pills. But now, without securing the bone, they wanted to use mere information as a substitute? It was audacious, perhaps even unfavorable!

Yet Yang Tian said nothing, merely gave a slight nod.

For this was entirely within Yang Tian's expectations.

Yesterday, when Yang Tian had brought up the Gluttony Bone, he had already caught the fleeting embarrassment on Nalamfu's face, though it disappeared almost instantly.

Thus, Yang Tian had anticipated this moment: when he could use some mundane concentrated pills to trade for the location of the Gluttony Bone. It was an exceptionally satisfactory outcome.

Seeing Yang Tian's faint nod, Nalamfu finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yang Master, I wonder how much you actually know about our Demon World?"

"How much?"

Hearing this, Yang Tian chuckled softly.

Anyone with comprehensive memory of the Demon World knows how deeply its systems intertwine—this is the very foundation of the demonic hierarchy. Across the entire realm, there may be few who understand it better than Yang Tian.
