"Like I said, it's just luck." Xu Feng didn't try to hide anything. To him, the greater the strength he displayed, the more concerns Lu Family and Mao Jingtao would have.
Mao Jingtao's Second Grade Pill Alchemist was nothing to him. However, he had been staying in Profound Wind City for a long time. The connections he had accumulated were not something Xu Feng could compare with. It was better to be cautious.
Sikong Ba recovered from his shock and said, "Sometimes, luck is also a part of one's strength."
Xu Feng took out a list and handed it to Sikong Ba. "To tell you the truth, a few days ago when I came to the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion, we were intercepted on the way here, and we almost lost our lives. It's all for the sake of refining some life-saving Medicine Pill."
" Oh? There's such a thing?" Sikong Ba raised his brows and was shocked. In the Profound Wind City, besides Jiang Haojing, there was only Xu Feng in the Third Grade Pill Alchemist. Every Pill Alchemist was extremely precious to the family. It was rare for them to kill a Pill Alchemist.
Xu Feng forced a smile, but he didn't want to talk about it. It was already his bottom line to tell Sikong Ba that he had been killed.
Sikong Ba didn't care about it. Everyone had their own secrets. He and Xu Feng were purely in a business relationship. There was no such thing as being close to each other.
Looking at the list in his hand, Sikong Ba was shocked once again. The herbs that Xu Feng needed were all Mid Grade Third Grade Medicine Pill Medicine Pill.
A type of Purple Glass Pill that could instantly recover the Yuan energy in one's body. This was because after the pill was formed, it would be crystal clear, and it would turn into a glaze. This was why it was named. When experts exchanged blows, it was usually a matter of seconds. That was why the Purple Glass Pill was exceptionally precious.
The other type was the Azure Dragon Pill that was slightly inferior to the Golden Dragon Pill. It could forcibly raise one's cultivation by a small realm, and the medicinal effect would last for about fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, one would become extremely weak. As the side effects were too great, it could barely be considered a middle-grade tier three Medicine Pill.
"I wonder how many portions Young Master wants this time?" After saying that, Sikong Ba looked at Xu Feng. When he first came to Celestial Mystery Tavern, he was still a young kid, but now, he was even more unfathomable.
"Give me three portions each!"
The cost of these Medicine Pill was extremely precious. The last time he came to buy the Glittering Jewel Life Continuing Pill and the Golden Jade Qi Recovering Pill, he had already spent a lot of his Essence Crystal. He was still very nervous about these Essence Crystal.
"Eighty Essence Crystal!"
Very quickly, Sikong Ba placed all the tokens in front of Xu Feng. It was still an extra one. He gave it to Xu Feng in the name of an old customer. Xu Feng did not stand on ceremony and accepted it. He took out eighty Essence Crystal from the Storage Ring and walked out.
"This kid is not simple!"
Xu Feng walked far away. Sikong Ba sat on a wooden chair. He murmured. The reason why they were in Profound Wind City was to find news about his father. Now, he was very sure that it was Xu Feng. He was cultivating the techniques of the Sikong family.
However, he couldn't tell Xu Feng that he was waiting for an opportunity.
In the Dong Clan, Mao Jingtao was pacing back and forth in the courtyard. It wasn't a good thing for him that Xu Feng had become a Third Grade Pill Alchemist.
Originally, he was in the Profound Wind City, except for Jiang Haojing. The most outstanding Second Grade Pill Alchemist. However, he never thought that Xu Feng would kill his disciple first. After that, he would kill his son. Now, even the realm of alchemy was a level higher than his. How could he not feel anxious and restless?
Everyone in Profound Wind City knew that Xu Feng and Mao Jingtao had an irreconcilable conflict. Ever since Xu Feng became a Third Grade Pill Alchemist, the number of people who sought him out to concoct pills had decreased significantly. In the past, outside the Dong Clan's main gate, many people had come to beg him to concoct pills. But now, it had become so cold and desolate that Mao Jingtao couldn't accept it.
After pondering for a moment, Mao Jingtao walked out of the Dong Clan and headed towards the Lu Family. The only thing he could do now was to rely on the Lu Family to kill Xu Feng in his cradle. Once he grew up, he would have no chance at all.
Although Dung Ming was already dead, he still had a close relationship with Suen Tao. Naturally, Chen Feng knew that the Lu Family was looking for Suen Tao to kill Xu Feng. He even secretly gave Suen Tao a lot of Medicine Pill.
"Hehe, what wind brought Dong Lian's Pill Alchemist here?" Lu Yifu was full of enthusiasm as he welcomed Mao Jingtao. After all, Mao Jingtao had been famous in Profound Wind City for a long time, so he couldn't afford to lose his manners.
"Patriarch Lu is still as elegant as ever." After all, Mao Jingtao needed someone to help him, but his words actually had a trace of ingratiating intent. This was something that had never happened in the past!
In the main hall of Lu Family, the two of them sat opposite each other. Although Lu Family was a big family in Profound Wind City, they didn't dare to offend Mao Jingtao.
"Patriarch Lu, to be honest, I am here to ask for Patriarch Lu's help." Mao Jingtao got straight to the point. He immediately explained the reason for his visit.
Lu Yifu remained calm and collected. He took a sip of tea and waited for Mao Jingtao to continue.
When Mao Jingtao saw Lu Yifu ignoring him, there was a trace of anger in his heart. Every Pill Alchemist Refiner was not a proud and arrogant person. He had never received such treatment before!
"Patriarch Lu, about the Celestial Essence Stage Essence Strength Undulation appearing in the Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy a few days ago... I suppose you already know about it." Mao Jingtao knew that he wouldn't say it out loud. No matter what, Lu Yifu wouldn't give him an answer openly. He did not even turn his head and wipe his feet. "I came this time precisely for Xu Feng's matter."
Lu Yifu raised his brows and asked in puzzlement, "Xu Feng and my Lu Family owe each other a favor. I don't know about Dong Pill Alchemist. I am here this time..."
"Humph! Patriarch Lu, you don't have to put on an act. I have heard that Suen Tao went to kill Xu Feng because of your instigation."
Dung Ming showed no signs of fear. He revealed his trump card, which meant that he knew that your Lu Family wanted Xu Feng to die. He was afraid that he would spread the news!
"You..."
Lu Yifu stood up immediately. The mighty pressure of a Celestial Essence Stage swept towards Dung Ming. Dung Ming was merely a Martial Essence Stage Pill Alchemist, so he naturally couldn't withstand such a powerful pressure. The hand that was holding the teacup trembled slightly.
"Patriarch Lu, don't be too excited. The reason why I'm here is because I want to work with Lu Family." Mao Jingtao forced himself to calm down and revealed his purpose.
After hearing what Mao Jingtao said, Lu Yifu retracted all of his Qi. He looked at Mao Jingtao and said in a flat tone, "Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"
"Get rid of Xu Feng!" Without the pressure, Mao Jingtao felt relaxed. He said his thoughts word by word.
"Ai..." Lu Yifu sat on the chair and seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant. His tone was desolate. "I won't hide it from Dong Pill Alchemist. If Xu Feng doesn't get rid of him, I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace. However, Suen Tao has failed. My Lu Family doesn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. "
"Suen Tao was seriously injured by Qingshan. Now, he is nowhere to be found. However, Suen Tao had told everyone about what we did. Although he didn't know why Qingshan and Jiang Haojing hadn't come to find him yet. Do you think we still have a chance when Xu Feng matures?"
Dung Ming's expression returned to normal. As long as the Lu Family wanted Xu Feng to die, he wasn't afraid that they wouldn't cooperate with him. The Medicine Pill of the Second Grade Pill Alchemist was very tempting to most people.
Lu Yifu also understood that ever since he ordered Suen Tao to kill Xu Feng, the grudge between the Lu Family and Xu Feng had been completely formed. According to Xu Feng's character, there was no way he could turn the situation around.
"Trash!" Lu Yifu secretly cursed Suen Tao in his heart. Not only did he not kill Xu Feng, but he also almost lost his life.
"Then according to Dong Pill Alchemist's intention..." After deciding to cooperate, Lu Yifu's expression eased up a lot and started to ask Mao Jingtao.
Since Mao Jingtao had come to seek cooperation, he naturally had his own plans in his heart.
"Borrowing someone else's help to kill someone. He doesn't need the Lu Family's help, and he doesn't need me to do anything either. He can kill Xu Feng." Every time Mao Jingtao mentioned Xu Feng's name, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. If it wasn't for Xu Feng, his life wouldn't have ended like this. A high and mighty Second Grade Pill Alchemist wanted to seek help from the Lu Family.
"Whose saber do you want to borrow?" For a moment, Lu Yifu was puzzled as well. The few people who were standing on their ship... Only Suen Tao and himself were at the Martial Essence Stage. It was impossible for him to do it himself. Once something unexpected happened... The rest of the people from the Lu Family would be removed from the position of the patriarch of the Lu Family. Choose someone else.
"Xiu... Luo... Tang!"
Asura Hall, an exceptionally hidden assassin organization. As long as you can afford the reward, there was no one they could not kill. This was the rule of their establishment. In Profound Wind City, as long as they recognized someone, they had never failed before. It was said that they had a peak Martial Essence Stage warrior guarding them, a Celestial Essence Stage warrior. More than five.
"I've heard about this Asura Hall. But the reward they requested is very precious." Lu Yifu had also heard of the Asura Hall, but he didn't have much contact with it. Firstly, he was a Celestial Essence Stage expert, and secondly, he was in the Profound Wind City. No one had ever dared to openly challenge the Lu Family.
However, this time, because of Xu Feng, he was going to hire the assassin from the Asura Hall!
"Regarding the reward, I will provide you with three Third Grade Medicine Pill. The rest will depend on Patriarch Lu." Mao Jingtao smiled, knowing that he had achieved his objective for this trip. Next was the matter of negotiating the reward.
"Of course, the Third Grade Medicine Pill is precious, but these costs are far from enough to hire the assassins of Asura Hall, right?" Lu Yifu's Dao of Nature's three Third Grade Medicine Pill were far from touching the Asura Hall, and he wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He bit Mao Jingtao tightly, refusing to let go.
One ___! The most important thing for the family head was to seek benefits for the family.
?
Mao Jingtao felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger. The fact that he could take out three Third Grade Medicine Pill with just one Second Grade Pill Alchemist was already the biggest concession he could make. He didn't expect that this old fox, Lu Yifu, would fiercely bite down on him!
"Plus, what are the conditions for me to refine Medicine Pill for them for a long period of time?"
Mao Jingtao gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Yifu with a burning gaze. His eyes were about to shoot out sparks. This time, in order to kill Xu Feng, he was going to throw caution to the wind.
As long as Xu Feng died, he would still be the respected Dong Pill Alchemist of Profound Wind City. The revenge for killing his son and disciple would also be avenged!
"Haha! With Dong Pill Alchemist's promise, Asura Hall will naturally have no problems.
Lu Yifu had achieved his goal. He laughed loudly. He didn't look like the domineering Mao Jingtao when he first saw him. Instead, he held both of Mao Jingtao's hands tightly.
Although the Asura Hall was a powerful assassin organization, the assassin who had been out on a mission for a long time had been injured. They also had a huge demand for the Medicine Pill. To them, the long-term replenishment of the Second Grade Pill Alchemist was much more valuable than the three Third Grade Medicine Pill.
In the south of Profound Wind City, a man covered in a black robe was slowly walking into a dilapidated wine house.
There was no one in the wine shop, and the tables and chairs were in tatters. Only an old man was dozing off at the counter. When he noticed that someone had come in, he said without even raising his head, "What wine do you want to drink?"
"Xiu Luo Hong!"
The black-robed man's voice was hoarse. It was obvious that his voice had changed through his elemental energy.
A bright light shot out from the old man's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him. However, the black-robed man remained unmoved. He stood quietly in front of the counter, allowing the old man to size him up and down.
"Please follow me!"
The old man stood up from the counter, and with a tremble, he led the black-robed man into the inner courtyard.
This was one of the stops of the Asura Hall!
"Tell me, who's the target?"
When he arrived at the inner courtyard, the old man no longer had the appearance of an old man in the wine house. His deep eyes made it hard for people to see his true strength. With his hands behind his back, he spoke proudly.
"Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy, Xu Feng!"
The black-robed man didn't want to say anything more. He immediately revealed his goal for this trip.
“ Oh? Xu Feng? Martial Essence Stage Third Grade Pill Alchemist?" The old man was slightly surprised. Third Grade Pill Alchemist was a member of many families that were trying to rope them in. Why would anyone want to kill him? Looking at the black-robed man's attitude, he didn't want to expose his identity.
However, Asura didn't care about the reason. The assassin organization only cared about killing. After being slightly surprised, his expression returned to calm.
"Tell me the price!"
One! The Asura Hall had no idea how many Martial Essence Stage warriors they had to kill every day. Killing Xu Feng was just a matter of a nod.
"Seven Third Grade Medicine Pill, Second Grade Pill Alchemist for a long period of time!"
The black-robed man continued with a hoarse voice.
"The price isn't small. We'll accept this business."
The old man's eyes turned cold. He knew very well the significance of the Second Grade Pill Alchemist to them. If they had the long-term supply of the Pill Alchemist, their Asura Hall would become even stronger.
The black-robed man didn't say anything else. He took out two jade bottles from his pocket and placed them on the stone table. After that, he turned around and left. The old man kept the jade bottles in his hand and disappeared into the backyard in the blink of an eye.
Xu Feng had been in Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy the whole time, and hadn't gone out. During these past few days, he hadn't been able to use his Dou Qi to concoct pills. But he did not relax at all. Every day, he did various body tempering exercises in the academy. He strengthened his physique, and every day, he was exhausted to the point of exhaustion.
"Unhurried, defeated, and not discouraged. A firm heart. As expected, his aptitude is indeed a good seedling." Qing Shan saw everything that Xu Feng had, and the satisfaction on his face grew stronger and stronger with each passing day.
"It's time to refine the Purple Glass Pill."
Feeling that the injuries in his body had completely recovered and that he had increased his Yuan Qi, as well as the waves of pain in his bones and bones, Xu Feng made up his mind and began refining the Third Grade Medicine Pill that belonged to him.
Arriving at the pill refinement room, Xu Feng placed a spirit medicine called Glazed Grass into the pill furnace. Slowly circulating his Yuan energy, it turned into fireworks and slowly evaporated the spirit medicine in the pill furnace.
But very quickly, Xu Feng discovered something different. The Glazed Tile Grass shot out in all directions within the alchemy furnace, causing the alchemy furnace to produce banging sounds.
Xu Feng withdrew his Yuan energy and extinguished the flames. At the same time, he released a wave of Yuan energy, wrapping the Glazed Tile Grass up to prevent the medicinal effects from disappearing.
After the flame was extinguished, the Glazed Tile Grass gradually calmed down and once again fell into the furnace.
"Oh right, the Glazed Grass is an item that is fragile. It cannot be refined by burning flames."
After understanding this point, Xu Feng once again urged the flame. It gradually became smaller and bigger. When the Glazed Tile Grass reached its limit and shook continuously, Xu Feng slowly lowered the flame. He then heated the flame and slowly refined it.
Sure enough, this time, the glass grass slowly calmed down in the furnace. Finally, it turned into a puddle of medicinal liquid and rolled inside the furnace.
"Now is the time!"
Xu Feng clapped his hand and the lid of the furnace flew up into the air. There was a faint fragrance coming from the furnace. Taking advantage of the moment when the lid of the furnace flew up, Xu Feng's speed began to soar. He held the remaining spirit medicines in his hands and placed them into the pill furnace according to the order.
"Bang!"
The lid of the furnace was closed once again. Xu Feng had already finished the rest of the work.
The Yuan energy in his hand continued to flow steadily into the pill furnace. The remaining ammunition could not withstand the high temperature and gradually merged with the medicinal concoction of the Glazed Grass.
Two Purple Glass Pill laid quietly in the pill furnace. The other magazines... They turned into withered grass that scattered to the side. Under the reflection of the light, a purple light flashed. It added a hint of extravagance, which was especially conspicuous among the pile of dried leaves.
"It's done!"
Xu Feng was overjoyed. This was the first middle-grade Tier 3 Medicine Pill he refined. Although there was a trace of an accident during the process, it did not fail.
Xu Feng wiped the sweat off his face. The essence energy in his body was also exhausted. He muttered, "Looks like the tier three middle grade Medicine Pill is also not that easy to refine!"
Pill refinement not only had extremely harsh requirements towards essence energy, but also had higher requirements for Mental Strength. If one was slightly careless, the medicinal herbs in the pill furnace would all turn into dried leaves. This would directly cause the pill refinement to fail. After this, Xu Feng would also need to rest for two or three days. Only then could he continue refining.
"The path of pill refinement indeed has a long way to go!"
? With the Purple Glass Pill completed, Xu Feng was in a good mood. He decided to go out for a walk. He did not expect to meet Lu Lee and Zhou Tengfei on the street.
A beautiful scholar, a beautiful woman, with a cold face. She was like the light in the sky. Although she was beautiful, she was beyond his reach. The number two genius of the Zhou family was known by everyone. Plus, he had a handsome face. Before Xu Feng entered the Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy, he still had a powerful "fan" group.
Pretending not to see anything, Xu Feng strode forward and ignored Lu Lee's strange look.
Lu Lee wanted to stop Xu Feng, but she did not know how to stop him. Her marriage with Zhou Tengfei was already an iron plate. Thinking of this, her heart ached again. She didn't have much interaction with Xu Feng, but that time when she met the bandits outside the city... Xu Feng stepped forward bravely. His young face was full of determination. His appearance was not considered handsome, but it kept appearing in Lu Lee's mind. She couldn't get rid of him.
"Sigh..." Lu Lee sighed in her heart. The two of them brushed past each other like strangers.
What Xu Feng did not see was that Zhou Tengfei's eyes carried a trace of ridicule.
It was fine as long as he had a clear conscience. Xu Feng was magnanimous in his heart and did not think much about it. He didn't mention anything about the Lu Family trying to kill him. Lu Lee was a weak girl when it came to matters between men. She was afraid that she was still kept in the dark.
"Lu Lee, let's continue to the teahouse in front. I heard that there is a good tea there. Many people went there because of its reputation. We don't need to pay attention to some random people."
Zhou Tengfei whispered softly in Lu Lee's ear. He looked like two intimate lovers who were whispering to each other.
Lu Lee heard Zhou Tengfei's ambiguous words and frowned slightly. She said, "Young Master Zhou, you don't have to do this. The marriage between me and you has already been decided by the family. No one can change it."
However, Xu Feng, who turned around and left, stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and strode in front of Zhou Tengfei. With a stern look in his eyes, he shouted loudly, "Zhou Tengfei, who are you talking about?"
Xu Tengfeng faced Xu Feng's fierce glare, and the ridicule in the corner of his eyes became even more intense. "When I say who is a nobody, there will naturally be people who will know."
"Zhou Tengfei, I have decided. In three months, either you die or I die!"
Xu Feng was so angry that he laughed instead. The good mood of refining the Purple Glass Pill was also swept away. Every time he met Zhou Tengfei, nothing good would happen. He had stayed in Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy for nearly ten days, and his mood had been affected by the fact that Suen Tao had tried to kill him. Now, Zhou Tengfei had hit the muzzle of the gun.
"You? Are you worthy?" Zhou Tengfei's hand was emitting a faint Essence Strength Undulation. He did not care about Xu Feng's anger and said indifferently, "Now, I can suppress you under my feet!"
"Humph, I hope you will still be so arrogant in front of me after three months!"
Yuan energy was rolling around Xu Feng's body. It was as if a battle would break out at any moment.
"Since you have delivered yourself to me, I will kill you!"
Zhou Tengfei's eyes turned cold. He no longer had the smile on his face beside Lu Lee. His dense Qi made Lu Lee, who was standing beside him, take a few steps back.
Xu Feng did not say much. If he continued, it would only put Lu Lee in a dilemma. The result would be determined in three months.
"Since the Lu Family wants to kill me, I will kill his son-in-law!"
Xu Feng silently thought in his heart. Perhaps only if he killed Zhou Tengfei would Lu Lee not marry Zhou Tengfei, this useless son of a b * tch!
Xu Feng himself did not know why he had such a strange thought in his heart.
