Chapter 5007
- A prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill might be nothing to those forces, but a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill who was not even 100 years old was a completely different story. It was not a stretch to say the major forces in the central region would compete to recruit him! Since he was able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill at such a young age, his future would be as boundless! ... As David Bishop grew more famous in Alchemy City, the Bishop Clan’s shop in Alchemy City was booming in business as well. The shop was so busy, and there were so many customers that it seemed that the shop could collapse. For this reason, Max Baker, Aemon, and Ramsay became incredibly busy. After a while, David Bishop stopped frequenting the shop as well. Although there were still many customers, there were a lot fewer customers when David Bishop was not around. “Did those customers only come for Master David Bishop?” It did not take long for Max Baker to figure this out. “Master David Bishop is a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill even though he’s not even 100 years old. It’s only natural that people are curious about him,” Aemon said. “Should we ask Master David Bishop to frequent the shop more often? That way, our sales will increase even more,” Max Baker suggested. However, Max Baker’s suggestion was quickly vetoed by Aemon and Ramsay. “Master Max Baker, are you that desperate to get rich? We’re already busy as it is. If things get as busy as when Master David Bishop is here, I think we’ll work ourselves to death,” Aemon quickly said. “No.” Ramsay was as taciturn as usual. His answer was curt to to-the-point. He did not explain himself like Aemon. ... A few days later. In the Bishop Clan’s temporary residence in Alchemy City. In the main hall. David Bishop had just consecutively sent a few groups of visiting Celestial Alchemists away. He could not help but grumble to Jason, the Old Ancestor of the Bishop Clan. “I thought I’d be able to get some peace and quiet after I stopped going to the shop. Who knew it would be even busier?” After David Bishop took a deep breath, he said to Jason, “Old Ancestor, I can’t deal with this anymore. I won’t be leaving my room until it’s time to attend the Alchemy Conference. Please receive the visitors on my behalf regardless of who they are. Just tell them I’m in closed-door cultivation. I don’t care even if they say I’m arrogant!” After he finished speaking, he did not even wait for Jason’s reply before he left the main hall with Sierra in tow. During the past few days, a couple of dozens of Celestial Alchemists had come to visit David Bishop. All of them had a remarkable background or came from top clans of the Six Southeastern Regions. They, naturally, came to befriend David Bishop. Someone was as talented as David Bishop was definitely worthy of respect. Many of them thought it was better to befriend him now. Once he grew famous, it would be harder to befriend him. David Bishop had no intention of meeting any of these people, but Jason had requested that he represent Bishop Clan to receive the visitors. After a few days, David Bishop who hated socializing was finally done with it. After he made his intention known to Jason, he left immediately. Jason, who was currently left alone in the main hall, could only smile bitterly. If David Bishop was a normal Bishop Clan’s elder, he would have rebuked David Bishop. However, David Bishop was only an interim Revered Elder of the clan. It could be considered that David Bishop had lowered himself to stay in the Bishop Clan when there were so many stronger clans that wanted to recruit him. Therefore, Jason thought it was only natural to accommodate David Bishop’s whims and please him. Jason did not waste time and issued a statement immediately. “From today onward until the start of the Alchemy Conference, the Bishop Clan will no longer be receiving visitors. Please forgive us!” The people from various forces who wanted to meet David Bishop out of curiosity were stopped at the entrance to Bishop Clan’s temporary residence. ... Time passed, and days flew by. In just a blink of an eye, the Alchemy Conference was about to commence.
