Zhang Yuan's

Welcome Part.1

Now the wolf king seemed pleased that the joining of Zhang Yuan would make the wolf clan again gain a good image.

“Head of server!”

“Yes your honor?”

“Please prepare a welcoming party for our clan's new alchemist. Spread this news to all corners of the region and invite all our subordinate clans.” The king's orders to the butler.

“Good noble king.” The butler then left the throne room to prepare a welcoming party.

“It is an honor for us to be given a welcoming party by his majesty.” Zhang Yuan said while paying his respects.

The wolf king laughed and said “Of course, I have to show off to everyone including the other three camps that my clan has an alchemist.”

After saying that the king laughed back with all his pleasure. The clan elders also showed pleased faces with the presence of Zhang Yuan in this clan.

Although Zhang Yuan was a little reluctant to become someone else's subordinate, but he realized the benefits behind all of this. Therefore Zhang Yuan tried to accept it with great courage until his goal was achieved.

As all the servants were busy preparing for the party, Zhang Yuan asked the elders regarding the gray wolf clan. The great elder of the wolf clan explained that the wolf clan was one of the 4 strongest clans in the region occupying the western region.

The wolf clan also became the leader of the alliance of other clans in the western stronghold that consisted of smaller clans. There were about 4 cities that were under the rule of the wolf clan. These cities were led by subordinate clans and were overseen by gray wolf clans.

Within the wolf clan were about 10,000 warriors who had the lowest cultivation being in the Soul Refining realm. This clan often fought with other camps and has been going on for thousands of years.

Even every year during the harvest season there will be a camp that declares war. But because this has become a habit, it is commonplace to continue the tradition of harvest season wars.

The wolf clan was one of the clans that focused on wolf martial techniques. The wolf blood of the ancestors had already flowed on every newborn child. When at war they will transform into a werewolf form to increase strength.

“Hah...? so you can all turn into wolves?” said Zhang Yuan with surprise who cut the story from the great elder.

The great elder was also taken aback as Zhang Yuan cut his story in the middle.

“Hahaha, young master Zhang is really funny. Of course we can change, but not become a whole wolf. Instead of transforming into a half-wolf form when we have fully awakened the wolf blood. Other clans are also just like us, they can transform into animal form according to the blood of the descendants.” Said the big elder while staring at Zhang Yuan's surprised face.

“Outstanding... can I transform as well despite not having wolf ancestral blood?” ask Zhang Yuan.

The wolf king who heard Zhang Yuan's question laughed and said his “General cannot be like that, but there is one way for outsiders to be able to transform into our clan form.”

“So what road is it?”

“Marriage” sahut king wolf.

“Wedding? What's connection?” zhang Yuan asked again with a astonished face.

“Marriage is a ritual so that outsiders can transform, after marriage then the person will make physical contact with the person who has wolf blood. And with such physical contact allows outsiders to resemble us.” explained the wolf king to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment digesting the explanation well from the king.

“That's right young master Zhang, are you interested?” said the big elder while teasing.

Zhang Yuan was surprised and then said “Please forgive me, but I already have a wife in the outside world.”

After that, their conversation continued until the day began at night. The butler immediately faced the king.

“Yang noble king, the preparation of the welcoming party is ready and the patriarchs of the vassal clans have also arrived.”

“Alright then let's head to the party hall” said the wolf king who then stood up and took everyone in the throne room away to the party hall.

Then everyone followed the wolf king to the hall where the feast was being held. Arriving there, it turned out that all the direct descendants of the wolf clan and the guests from the vassal clan were already waiting. There were about 300 people attending the welcoming party.

Upon the arrival of the wolf king and his entourage, the attendants immediately stood up and clenched their hands together.

“Greetings to the noble wolf king Fang Yutian” everyone said.

The wolf king waved his hand and said “Thank you all for coming. This opportunity I will introduce to all of you, this young man beside me is young master Zhang who is the alchemist of the new wolf clan.”

 “Welcome and welcome to join young master Zhang” everyone said while saluting.

Zhang Yuan immediately replied to their respect and said “Thank you everyone”

“Alright let's start the party!” kara the wolf king while raising a glass of drink.

“Life wolf clan! live western stronghold!” cheers everyone who then raised a glass of drink.

Then the party begins with the wolf clan dancers and the chants of musical instruments that enliven the party. Lots of good food and drinks are served on the table. Everyone seemed excited by the party, but they were even more excited by the presence of the new alchemist in this clan.

Now Zhang Yuan and elder Xia were sitting at one table with the wolf king and the other elders while eating a meal.

“So from tomorrow you can do the purification to make me a medicinal pill that can help me break through?” ask the wolf king.

“Of course, as long as you prepare all sufficient resources with high quality. Then I can start refining medicinal ingredients. But to concoct an effective medicinal pill for an expert in the Heavenly realm seemed like it would take a lot of time. Because I have to do research and experiment first.” Zhang Yuan said seriously.

“Is it really like that? Then you can start refining medicinal pills for my troops so that they can break through to the next realm.”

“If allowed, I also want to ask some slaves prisoners of war.”

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words made the wolf king and the elders shocked.

“For what?” ask the big elder.

“As I said earlier, I will do an experiment first to test my medicinal pill whether it has any side effects or not. That's why I need a guinea pig, it would be better if this guinea pig has a strong body and endurance.” Zhang Yuan.

“Hm...? right too, well tomorrow I will send a slave. Use them all you want and if you are still lacking then ask the soldiers I will place as bodyguards in your residence.” The king of wolves.

Zhang Yuan nodded his head, the moment inside Zhang Yuan's mind was to conduct experiments on the slaves. If his trial failed then Zhang Yuan would only need to take their souls with his techniques and absorb them to increase his strength. Even if necessary then Zhang Yuan can make many soul puppets.

Zhang Yuan does have a lot of traits. Sometimes he will be gentle and kind, sometimes he will be clever and cunning. Sometimes he will be cruel and evil. All of those traits that Zhang Yuan would display depended on the situation and conditions he was in.

Right now Zhang Yuan only wanted to take as much profit from the gray wolf clan. On the other hand Zhang Yuan also started to prepare some plans to break away from this clan in order to not be forever bound here.

Of course to do that takes a long time. Zhang Yuan's plans would take about a year and even more if the situation was beyond Zhang Yuan's estimation.
