chapter 15 The lucky prodigal son

"What kind of alchemy notes from Ban?" Everyone who knew what this was was surprised, and now they understand why the Emperor was so surprised. Anyone would be.

Ban was a legendary alchemist from a thousand years ago. His alchemy techniques were so advanced that they surpassed human understanding. If you obtained his techniques, it would make a country stronger.

This is somewhat similar to the technology of the modern Earth. The country that obtains the highest technology will become powerful.

How many people offered countless tempting conditions to obtain his techniques, but he never agreed. Some people wanted to steal them, but they found that it was almost impossible.

Alchemists originally had their own special fighting methods. They would use alchemy arrays to summon magical elements. They could also change some things in the nearby environment. Some would only change their shape, while others would even change their material structure.

A powerful alchemist can definitely compete with a corresponding magician or warrior. They also generally carry some alchemy items, so they are even harder to deal with.

However, alchemists need to calculate various factors and draw alchemy arrays accurately while fighting. This makes it extremely demanding. Most alchemists can only learn to protect themselves, and it is extremely difficult to become a master. It is rare to find a master in a hundred years.

But if alchemists are given enough time to prepare beforehand, they can easily blow a master to smithereens.

"Yes, that's what the news says. The item is currently in our capital." The Emperor nodded and said.

"What? Who has the item now? We must obtain it at any cost." A valiant-looking general said. The general was old, and it seemed like he was the Empire's Grand Marshal.

As the Grand Marshal of a country, he naturally knew the benefits of Ban's alchemy notes for the army. If they could create a couple of powerful alchemy magic devices, they could become invincible.

"This, the person mentioned above surprised me." The Emperor had a strange expression. He looked at Ye Chengtian beside him.

"" Ye Chengtian didn't understand the meaning of this strange expression. Others who didn't know thought that the item was in the Ye family's possession.

"Chengtian, your Ye family obtained this item, so take it out. You can't keep it for yourselves. At most, I will favor you in the future. I will definitely support your becoming the head of the family." The Grand Marshal said directly.

"Uncle Li, if we had this, with my old man's personality, wouldn't he have already brought it to you and showed off?" Ye Chengtian said helplessly.

The relationship between this Grand Marshal Li and Ye Yi could be described in three words: iron buddies. They grew up together, caused trouble together, chased girls together, and traveled the world together.

Although they are both now in their seventies, they would always argue and bicker over trivial matters. Of course, these were simply manifestations of their deep affection for each other.

"That's right. If you had it, he would be here right now, not hiding at home making out with Sister Lian." Even without anyone saying anything, Grand Marshal Li knew that Ye Yi must be with Ruan Lian'er. He couldn't understand why these two old married couples could always maintain such a passionate state. His relationship with his wife was much more lukewarm.

However, Grand Marshal Li wouldn't think that his love for his wife was weaker than Ye Yi's. It was just a difference in expression.

"Chengtian, the person who obtained this item is indeed your Ye family. It's just that you don't know. Perhaps even he himself doesn't know." At this moment, the Emperor said something puzzling.

"" Ye Chengtian looked at the Emperor in confusion, wanting to hear his next words.

"Little Ye Lang, come over here. I have a question for you." The Emperor beckoned to the prodigal son who was still talking to Ye Lan Yu, but the prodigal son didn't hear him at all, making him frustrated for a moment.

However, when the Emperor called the prodigal son, everyone seemed to understand. Could it be that

"Your Majesty, what do you need?" After being pulled over by Hu Niu, the prodigal son asked directly.

"Little Ye Lang, didn't you buy a strange box from the auction house today?" The Emperor smiled slightly and asked.

"Yes, I bought it for 100,000 gold coins." The prodigal son answered.

"Then do you know what's inside?" The Emperor asked tentatively.

"I don't know." The prodigal son shook his head.

"That's right. Since you don't know, why did you buy it?" The Emperor asked in confusion.

"I want to be prodigal." The prodigal son said righteously.

""

The Ye family members, both the old and the young, all covered their foreheads, expressing their extreme helplessness. They all guessed that this would be the answer.

"Why don't you stop him from being so prodigal? Do your Ye family have so much money?" Grand Marshal Li said. He had also heard about this prodigal son of the Ye family. It was only today that he knew the extent of his profligacy.

"You think we don't want to? He just likes to do this. There's nothing we can do about it. Besides, he often buys strange and rare items. Their value is unimaginable." Ye Chengtian said strangely.

That's right, if it wasn't for the prodigal son occasionally buying extremely rare treasures, the Ye family members probably wouldn't let him spend money so recklessly. At the very least, they would try to control him. They would allow him to spend at most 100,000 gold coins.

But was that even considered controlling?

"Yes, I know about this. It seems like he has always had the favor of the goddess of fortune. Take this time for example. It was the box he bought for 100,000 gold coins. Its value far surpasses what he has wasted before. Even if he spent ten million, it would be cheap." The Emperor said.

"Could it be that Ban's alchemy notes are in the box? Little Ye Lang, quickly show your box to your Uncle Li." Grand Marshal Li said.

"Okay, who is Uncle Li?" The prodigal son nodded, then realized he didn't know who Uncle Li was.

""

"Puchi."

Everyone on the side let out a light laugh, then quickly pretended to be serious. Their expressions completely denied that they had just laughed. Among them, it seemed like the Emperor and the others were also doing the same.

"Son, your Uncle Li is him. You've met him before." Long Anqi suppressed her laughter and tapped the prodigal son's head.

"When?" The prodigal son still couldn't remember.

"When you were one month old."

"Oh."
