Chapter 23: Ba Dao Tian Yue is a Mortal Enemy
Su Yongquan said, "I'll go greet him. Master Wu must be here to see Chu Feng. You all go to the main hall."
Chu Feng did not refuse; even in a collaboration, one should maintain the proper demeanor.
When he fought Liu Yunchuan, Wu Heng only helped Su Yongquan. As the master of Danlou, it wasn't that he couldn't help him, but that he lacked the courage.
Not helping is his duty, while helping is a favor; Chu Feng naturally understands this clearly.
However, cooperation is just cooperation; he may concede some benefits, but that's all.
Having experienced the events of his past life, Chu Feng's outlook on life has been completely changed.
"Young friend Chu, congratulations on your advancement in cultivation!" Wu Heng greeted him with a cupped-hand salute as he entered.
Wu Heng no longer dared to treat Chu Feng as an ordinary person. A Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator who could kill a Foundation Establishment Level 5 cultivator was no ordinary person.
Moreover, in just two or three days, Chu Feng went from having no cultivation to the sixth level of Qi Refining. After fighting a Foundation Establishment expert, he not only survived but also improved his cultivation.
This is a freak!
Su Yongquan and the others also found Wu Heng's words a bit strange. An old man calling Chu Feng "young friend"—was he trying to get close to him?
However, the fact that outsiders respected Chu Feng made them genuinely happy.
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Master Wu, you flatter me. I was fortunate enough to break through after recovering from my injuries. Please wait a moment, and I will refine a marrow-nourishing pill for you. However, I also need some reward, because I plan to leave Julu City with the Su family."
Upon hearing Chu Feng mention leaving Julu City, Su Yong's face fell. However, there was nothing he could do; the Tyrant Blade Sect was too powerful, and they simply couldn't contend with it.
Wu Heng asked in surprise, "Leave Julu City?"
However, he quickly realized that Chu Feng was afraid that the Tyrant Blade Sect would retaliate against the Su family.
Chu Feng said, "That's right."
I am only at the Qi Refining stage now, and I can't protect the Su family at all. The only way out is to move away from Julu City and cultivate in secret. As for cultivation resources, I can refine pills and weapons, so I don't have to worry about them.
Once my cultivation level is higher, who can do anything to me?
Wu Heng waved his hand and said, "Young friend Chu, there's no need for you to leave in such a hurry. This matter may not be that bad."
"Master Wu, what do you mean by that?" Su Zhenting asked.
Su Zhenting didn't want to leave Julu City either. He had lived here for half his life, and where could he go after leaving?
Qi Yuehua also looked at Wu Heng, but Su Xiaoxiao did not react at all. Wherever Chu Feng went, she went too. It didn't matter which city she was in, she could cultivate in the same way.
Wu Heng said, "For countless years, the Overlord Blade Sect has indeed silenced many forces, because of its extremely brutal methods. However, things are different today..."
According to Wu Heng, at the county city auction, Long Tianba, the leader of the Ba Dao Sect, and the leader of the Tian Yue Lou, a sixth-rank power, both had their eyes on the same treasure.
At the auction, the highest bidder naturally wins.
Long Tianba lost the competition, and the treasure was obtained by Meng Qiankun, the master of Tianyue Tower. So, Long Tianba immediately summoned a Supreme Elder and prepared to snatch it directly.
Little did anyone know that Meng Qiankun had made preparations before attending the auction. He not only brought the top combat force of Tianyue Tower, but also invited a mysterious expert.
Thus, after a great battle, the Supreme Elder of the Overlord Blade Sect was killed on the spot, and Long Tianba was seriously injured.
The Overlord Blade Sect has always been extremely domineering and has offended many forces. Now, with the death of the Supreme Elder and the serious injury of the Sect Master, it's like adding insult to injury.
Therefore, the Overlord Blade Sect activated its protective formation and announced the closure of the mountain.
Wu Heng laughed and said, "Now, some of the disciples of the Overlord Blade Sect who didn't have time to return to the sect have either gone into hiding or been killed. Judging from this situation, the Overlord Blade Sect will definitely not open its mountain gate for at least ten years."
"It's truly gratifying to see such an arrogant and domineering sect meet its end!" Su Yongquan said bitterly.
In broad daylight, they forcibly abducted another man's wife and daughters. The Tyrant Blade Sect is no good! Even if they were wiped out, they deserved it!
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Oh, in that case, we'll stay for now."
Don't even mention ten years, at most three years. These sects are nothing but ants in front of me.
With the Tyrant Blade Sect sealing off its mountain and the Su family's crisis resolved, Chu Feng decided to stay for the time being.
Of course, Chu Feng wouldn't let his guard down just because Wu Heng told him that the Tyrant Blade Sect was closing its mountain. If Liu Yunchuan could come to Julu City as an envoy, what about other sects?
"Young friend Chu, with your current cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining, can you refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill?" After chatting casually with everyone for a few minutes, Wu Heng steered the conversation to the Marrow Nourishing Pill, as that was his purpose in coming here.
He himself also needs cultivation resources. Once the Marrow Nourishing Pill is successfully refined, it will be a great achievement, which also means that he will have a lot of cultivation resources. In addition, he might be able to take this opportunity to be transferred to the prefectural branch.
When Chu Feng was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, he could defeat someone at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. Now that he has broken through another level of cultivation, he might already be able to refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill. You can't judge a prodigy by common sense.
Su Yongquan and the others were completely bewildered. They had never heard of the Marrow Nourishing Pill before, so, except for Su Xiaoxiao, the others left one after another.
Chu Feng glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and smiled, "Master Wu, did you bring the materials?"
Wu Heng stood up excitedly and said, "Young friend Chu, you're already able to refine it?" As he spoke, Wu Heng quickly handed over the storage bag.
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Master Wu, you go back and wait. Once the pills are refined, I will come to find you. Each batch of pills will yield nine pills. I will only take four as payment, and the other five will go to the Pill Pavilion. If the Pill Pavilion wants to buy out the pill formula, it will need to give me some top-grade materials for refining pills and crafting weapons."
With one batch of pills, Chu Feng can produce twelve pills. The materials are provided by the Pill Pavilion, making him incredibly wealthy. He buys out the pill formulas and collects another batch of materials, ensuring he won't have to worry about resources for the foreseeable future.
"Alright, let's do as Fellow Friend Chu says! I'll report to the higher-ups at the Pill Pavilion right away and discuss buying out the pill formula!" Wu Heng was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
Ordinary alchemists also need half of the reward for refining pills, splitting it 50/50. However, it is difficult for an average alchemist to refine nine pills; if they can refine six or seven pills, they are considered to have good skills.
According to Chu Feng's calculations, the fact that Danlou could obtain five pills meant that Chu Feng was essentially helping Danlou refine pills for free.
Therefore, this cooperation can be described as a win-win situation. Although it was not quite the same as the agreement Chu Feng had made with him before, Wu Heng was still very happy.
"Xiaoxiao, close the door, let's refine pills here." Time was tight, and Chu Feng was too lazy to change locations. After refining the pills, he still needed to refine some weapons for the Su family, including Second Master Su and others, everyone would get a share.
"Alright." Su Xiaoxiao also wanted to see how the pills were made.
Chu Feng opened the storage bag and saw that there were thirty sets of materials inside. He couldn't help but admire the strength of Danlou. This was only a branch in a small city. How much strength must the Danlou in the prefectural and county cities have?
