Venerable Martial Emperor

"Alright, let's set off immediately and go to the Celestial Mystery Tavern to exchange for the Essence Crystal!"    

    

Xu Feng immediately said.    

    

Although the Essence Crystal could speed up his cultivation, and with the help of the Four Ends Restoration Pill that he had consumed, there was a high possibility that he would be able to raise his cultivation base to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer within ten days, time was still of the essence, and he couldn't afford to waste it.    

    

Although Wang Bin was curious why Xu Feng wanted the Essence Crystal, since Xu Feng had already said so, he still nodded his head and led the way.    

    

Soon, the two of them left the Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy and entered the Profound Wind City.    

    

Wang Bin was very familiar with Profound Wind City. Soon, he brought Xu Feng to a bustling street.    

    

This street could accommodate eight horses walking side by side. The ground was covered with hard green and white stone slabs. It was beautiful and clean. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of luxuriously decorated shops. The people who came and went were also people in luxurious clothes. It was very bustling.    

    

Among the numerous bustling shops, there was a single small building that stood proudly among them. This single building had three floors, and the entire building was only black and white in color. Black tiles, white walls, black pillars, white door lintel, black signboard, and three big white words on the signboard. Celestial Mystery Tavern.    

    

The people who entered and exited the Celestial Mystery Tavern felt their hearts sink slightly. They found that they were all people with martial arts cultivation. Among them, there were some disciples from the Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy who were wearing a violet sun white robe. Xu Feng and Wang Bin were not eye-catching either.    

    

When they walked into the Celestial Mystery Tavern, they saw a huge crystal counter in front of them. Inside the counter were all kinds of spiritual herbs that were overflowing with spiritual energy. The Medicine Pill overflowing with the fragrance, the martial arts with golden words on the cover... Guests were pointing and pointing at each other. From time to time, they would let the well-dressed maids behind the counter. He took out something and looked at it carefully.    

    

"Even superior martial arts are marked with a price!"    

    

When Xu Feng saw this, he couldn't help but secretly click his tongue. He could clearly see that in a counter with relatively fewer people, there were actually three superior martial arts books. Moreover, the price tag was clearly stated. One hundred Essence Crystal each.    

    

"If you want to exchange for an Essence Crystal, you must have good things. Of course, as long as you have an Essence Crystal, you can have almost all the good things you want, including the superior martial arts!"    

    

Wang Bin said to Xu Feng.    

    

Xu Feng nodded. Since he dared to come here, he naturally had good things.    

    

Very quickly, the two of them arrived in front of a counter with Essence Crystal placed on it. The so-called Essence Crystal was a crystal like stone. It was completely transparent and there were traces of green substance mixed within it. It was exceptionally beautiful.    

    

The person standing behind the primal stone exchange counter was not that young female servant. Instead, it was an old man. This was because one needed to estimate the price of the item that the customer had taken out in exchange for the Essence Crystal. That was why they needed an experienced old man to ensure that they would not lose money.    

    

"What do the two of you want to exchange for Essence Crystal?" The old man had a warm smile on his face as he said with a smile, "There are not many Essence Crystal in this month. There are only the last three!"    

    

So the Essence Crystal was limited!    

    

When Xu Feng heard this, Vivian could not help but be shocked. However, very quickly, he opened his mouth and said, "One Red Holy Fruit fruit!"    

    

Back in the valley, Xu Feng had obtained six Red Holy Fruit fruits. He had already consumed four of them and only had two left. Now, he only needed to leave one for later. He could sell the extra one.    

    

After all, the effects of the Red Holy Fruit fruits were not as effective when used on people with high cultivation bases.    

    

"Red Holy Fruit fruit?" The old man's eyes lit up. He immediately opened his mouth and said, "The Red Holy Fruit fruit is a healing divine medicine amongst tier three spirit medicines. It is extremely valuable. This old man is willing to use an Essence Crystal to exchange for it."    

    

"Can I only exchange for one Essence Crystal?" Xu Feng frowned slightly. He knew that an Essence Crystal was definitely very precious. However, he did not expect that a single Red Holy Fruit Fruit could only be exchanged for one Essence Crystal.    

    

Fortunately, according to his estimations, as long as he had one Essence Crystal, he would be able to match it with the Four Level Essence Gathering Pill. Within ten days, he would be able to raise his cultivation to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer.    

    

When he thought of this, he nodded his head and took out a Red Holy Fruit fruit. He extended his hand and handed it to the old man. "Then, I will exchange it for an Essence Crystal!"    

    

However, at this moment, a sharp aura instantly wrapped around Xu Feng. At the same time, a cold and overbearing voice suddenly sounded, "Wait!"    

    

"Mm?"    

    

Xu Feng felt a chill on his back, as if a sharp blade was stabbing at his shoulder. Without any hesitation, he took out the fruit in his hand. He threw the fruit on the counter because this was the only way he could give it away. The deal was done.    

    

At the same time, his feet moved and his body moved to the side to avoid the sharp aura.    

    

Whoosh!    

    

A white figure flashed past his body and instantly occupied Xu Feng's previous position.    

    

When he fixed his eyes on Xu Feng, a trace of anger appeared in Xu Feng's eyes. He gritted his teeth. The person who snatched his position was none other than Zhou Tengfei, whom he had not seen for a long time!    

    

Although Zhou Tengfei was also a Purple Sun disciple, he was not wearing a Purple Sun white robe. He was still wearing a pure white robe. Combined with his handsome face, he looked heroic and radiant.    

    

When the other guests saw Zhou Tengfei, their eyes immediately lit up. They could not help but praise, "He is indeed worthy of being one of the top geniuses of our Profound Wind City!"    

    

"He is indeed an outstanding person. Judging from his aura, he should at least be at the Late Martial Essence Stage!"    

    

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. He will definitely be another Celestial Essence Stage warrior in the future!"    

    

"Greetings, Young Master Zhou Tengfei!"    

    

Even the old man behind the counter nodded slightly and smiled at Zhou Tengfei.    

    

The praises were incessant, but Zhou Tengfei did not have the slightest expression on his face. He was proud and aloof.    

    

"I heard that there are only three Essence Crystal left in the Celestial Mystery Tavern this month. Give them all to me. I will exchange them with a Martial Essence demonic beast inner core."    

    

Zhou Tengfei said slowly.    

    

As soon as he said those words, a wave of exclamations sounded out from the surroundings.    

    

"The inner core of a Martial Essence demon beast needs to be obtained by killing a Martial Essence demon beast, and a Martial Essence demon beast is equivalent to a Late Martial Essence Stage human warrior!"    

    

"This Zhou Tengfei is really generous. If it was any other time, I'm afraid he would need ten Essence Crystal to exchange for such an inner core. Now, he only needs three Essence Crystal."    

    

"This is also because his strength is outstanding, and he can kill a Martial Essence demon beast himself. He doesn't need this much inner core."    

    

Cries of surprise kept ringing in his ears. Zhou Tengfei's face was still indifferent and cold, as if he was already used to this kind of praise!    

    

When the old man behind the counter heard this, he smiled slightly and slowly opened his mouth, "Young master Zhou Tengfei, I'm afraid that today's business will not do!"    

    

"Huh?" Zhou Tengfei frowned slightly. A sharp glint immediately flashed across his eyes as he looked at the old man.    

    

However, the old man's expression remained indifferent, without any signs of fear, "It's true that there are only three Essence Crystal left in Celestial Mystery Tavern this month. However, just now, I have already promised an Essence Crystal to this young master!"    

    

As he spoke, the old man lifted his hand and pointed at Xu Feng.    

    

Zhou Tengfei turned his head around. It was as though he had just seen Xu Feng standing there.    

    

However, his face was still filled with pride. He slowly opened his mouth and said in a voice that could not be defied, "Give up this Essence Crystal."    

    

Xu Feng frowned. Give up?    

    

If he gave up on this Essence Crystal, he would not be able to reach the ninth rank of the Martial Path within ten days. Without the cultivation of the ninth rank, it would be no different than death against a half-step Origin Core Realm Hee Yanxi.    

    

Zhou Tengfei's words of giving up were like asking for his life!    

    

Thinking until here, Xu Feng opened his mouth and said resolutely, "Impossible!"    

    

Upon seeing this scene, the surroundings instantly fell silent.    

    

No one had expected that someone would actually dare to reject Zhou Tengfei's request for an Essence Crystal.    

    

"Could it be that this kid isn't from the Profound Wind City? Does he not know how powerful Zhou Tengfei is?"    

    

"It's possible... However, Zhou Tengfei was a top genius of the Martial Arts Academy, and he was ranked second in the Hundred Battle Ranking rankings. This kid is also from the Purple Sun Academy, there's no reason that he doesn't know him! "    

    

"This kid has some guts, he actually dares to fight Zhou Tengfei. Haha, there's going to be a good show to watch!"    

    

"You dare to fight with me over the Origin Crystal?" Zhou Tengfei spoke again. His voice had suddenly turned cold, and his killing intent was dense." Could it be that you think that Lu Yifu can protect you forever just because he protects you once? "    

    

Xu Feng did not have the slightest fear on his face. This matter was originally reasonable to him.    

    

"I arrived first. That Essence Crystal was also given to me by Celestial Mystery Tavern. You asked for it as soon as you came here. If I'm willing to give it to you, it's your luck. If I'm not willing to give it to you, it's only natural. You have nothing to say. Why would you say 'snatch'?! "    

    

" Hmph. You've already taken a liking to something that I, Zhou Tengfei, have taken. Do you really think that I won't dare to kill you? " Zhou Tengfei snorted coldly and said.    

    

Wang Bin had a nervous expression on his face. He whispered to Xu Feng, "This is Zhou Tengfei. We can't afford to offend him. It's better not to offend him."    

    

"If I release this Essence Crystal, it will be no different from committing suicide. Therefore, no matter how much I can't offend him, I will get this Essence Crystal that belongs to me!"    

    

Xu Feng did not have any intention of retreating. He looked at the old man behind the counter and said slowly, "Please!"    

    

The old man smiled when he saw this. He reached out and took the fruits of the Crimson Divine Fruit from the counter. He took out one of the three remaining Essence Crystal from the counter and handed it to Xu Feng.    

    

Xu Feng reached out his hand and took the Essence Crystal. He felt a slight chill in his hand. As the Yuan Power in his body circulated, the Yuan Power in the Yuan Crystal gave birth to traces of Yuan Power that wanted to drill into his body.    

    

"This is indeed a good thing that can aid cultivation!"    

    

Xu Feng's eyes could not help but light up. He felt the benefits of the Essence Crystal before putting it away.    

    

Zhou Tengfei, who was beside him, slowly opened his mouth and said, "Lu Yifu will not protect you for the rest of your life. He will definitely take your life in three months at most!"    

    

Zhou Tengfei turned around and left after saying this. He did not want the remaining two Essence Crystal.    

    

Xu Feng narrowed his eyes. Zhou Tengfei had a haughty character. He had actually said that he would kill someone in three months at most. That was likely... In at most three months, this person would really make a move.    

    

The first time Zhou Tengfei met him, it was because he had a great enmity between life and death. Today, the second time they met, Zhou Tengfei made a killing wish once again.    

    

Thinking of this, Xu Feng's heart couldn't help but sink. At this moment, his cultivation base was only at the eighth level of the Martial Path. Whether it was Zhou Tengfei alone or the entire Zhou family, he was a giant that he could only look up to.    

    

But to Xu Feng, even if you were a giant that was higher than the heavens, he wouldn't be able to tolerate you killing him again and again!    

    

"Three months... I will definitely become stronger in three months!"    

    

At this moment, Xu Feng's heart was unprecedentedly firm. "At that time, even if you don't come to kill me, I will still fight you, Young Master Zhou Tengfei!"
