Medical Sage

This short-distance communication talisman was sent by the patrol soldiers outside their Enlightened Deity Cave gate. Their Cave Master, Chen Fei, has returned.

”Oh? Your Cave Master has returned? That’s perfect. If possible, could you please invite him over here?” Upon hearing this, Taoist Cang Kun’s eyes instantly brightened, and he spoke with a smile. Although he was easy-going, he wouldn’t personally go to greet Chen Fei.

In his eyes, even if Chen Fei truly were a Third-Level Alchemist, he would not have that qualification. The status of the two of them could be roughly considered on par with a Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist.

”Yes, Cang Kun Island Master, Blue Whale Island Lord, we shall take our leave for now. We will immediately go to invite the Cave Master.” Upon hearing this, Iron One did not find anything inappropriate, quickly bowed, and led the seven brothers out of the hall.

”Phew, this Blue Whale Island Lord is really terrifying. Just standing in front of him, my legs were trembling slightly.” Just outside the hall, Old Three of the Eight Great Iron Guards couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his face showing astonishment and complexity.

Even now, they were extraordinary, even reborn, but in front of the Blue Whale Island Lord, they still felt like weak infants, feeling incredibly oppressed. How could this not shock and frighten him!?

Such a gap inevitably makes one feel helpless and despairing, doesn’t it?

”Enough, what kind of identities do Cang Kun and Blue Whale Island Masters have? When they were traversing this North Side Area of Eagle Gorge, probably we eight brothers hadn’t even been born yet. How could they not be formidable? The pressing matter now is to notify the Lord Cave Master immediately, lest those two grow impatient from waiting, which would truly be troublesome.”

Upon Iron One’s words, the seven brothers behind him solemnly nodded without hesitation. Yes, they couldn’t let those two wait long. If they became unhappy or angry, their Enlightened Deity Cave would be in big trouble.

Even their master, the Lord Cave Master Chen Fei, would not dare to neglect Cang Kun and Blue Whale, the two Island Masters of Canglan Island, right?

The answer is probably quite evident, isn’t it?

Within this hundreds to nearly a thousand miles range of Canglan Island, aside from Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Experts, no one dares to slight the two Canglan Island Island Masters, Cang Kun and Blue Whale! Not a single person.

...

When the Eight Great Iron Guards hurriedly arrived outside the gate of the Enlightened Deity Cave, Chen Fei had just returned and stepped into the cave gate.

”Master.” Upon seeing Chen Fei, the Eight Great Iron Guards unhesitatingly bowed deeply. They dared not forget their manners.

”Why are you all here, have you completed your seclusion? Well, not bad, you’ve all reached the Second Level Middle Stage Demon Beast realm, living up to my expectations.” Looking at the Eight Great Iron Guards bowing deeply in front of him, Chen Fei nodded in satisfaction.

The successful breakthroughs of these eight individuals finally gave him a few more usable people.

”Thanks to your cultivation, Master, otherwise we eight brothers would not dare to imagine having today. Such great grace, we eight brothers will never forget in this lifetime.”

Iron One said without hesitation, then straightened his expression, somewhat anxious, looked at Chen Fei, and quickly said: ”Master, two individuals of very special status have arrived in the cave, and they have specifically named you. What do you think?”

”Looking for me? And they’re important individuals?”

Hearing this tone, Chen Fei frowned slightly and asked: ”Iron One, what’s going on? Who are they that have scared you all like this?”

”No, Master...” Iron One smiled awkwardly at the words, his expression still somewhat solemn, and said: ”Master, it’s not that I’m making a mountain out of a molehill, but their status and origins are indeed somewhat special.”

”Alright, go ahead, who exactly are they? What are they here for?” Chen Fei waved a hand to interrupt him, saying indifferently.

”It’s Island Master Cang Kun and Blue Whale of Canglan Island. They have come personally.” Iron One said.

”Hiss!”

”What? Island Master Cang Kun and Blue Whale?”

Upon hearing this, even before Chen Fei could respond, Mon Yi and the entire group of Enlightened Deity Cave members behind him had their expressions drastically change, exclaiming in shock.

How could they not know the illustrious reputations of Island Master Cang Kun and Blue Whale of Canglan Island?

Even their former Cave Master, the King of Gilded Toads, was considered trash in front of those two, let alone themselves. Hiss, those two unexpectedly personally came to their Enlightened Deity Cave? Why?

Why are they here?

”Cang Kun of Canglan Island and Blue Whale?”

Upon hearing this, even with Chen Fei’s composure, he did not expect that it would be them coming to find him personally.

Cang Kun of Canglan Island and Blue Whale, those are the experts at the peak of the Second Level Late Stage Beast, whose fame shakes an area of nearly a thousand miles around Canglan Island, even more powerful than the peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer! Yet, why would these two come looking for him for no reason? They don’t even know each other.

Chen Fei slightly furrowed his brows.

No wonder Iron One and his brothers, with their current strength, could already battle ordinary experts of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, yet were still so frightened by the visitors. There indeed seemed to be a reason for this.

”Master, I think there’s something important to mention. These two seem to have come here because of your identity as an alchemist. Just now, they asked if you’re a Third-Level Alchemist.” At this moment, Iron One recalled what was said earlier in the grand hall and immediately spoke.

”My identity as an alchemist?” Hearing this, Chen Fei was first taken aback and then his expression turned somewhat grim as he muttered to himself, ”Could it be that the incident on Canglan Island earlier was discovered by them? Damn, it seems I was indeed a bit impulsive before.”

”Being able to refine Six-Pattern Silver Striped Pills is no small matter, especially in such a remote place. If some people harbor malicious intentions, it might become troublesome.” Even Zhen Jingkong considered this possibility, his tone becoming slightly tense.

There is no way around it; the Six-Pattern Silver Striped Pills, regardless of their grade, are highly significant simply because of these six words. Even those in the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm would have to take it seriously.

”Yes, speaking of which, was my previous plan somewhat reckless?” Chen Fei’s eyes were distant, and then a determined gleam flashed, ”I must quickly enhance my strength, or else if targeted, I wouldn’t even have the room to resist.”

Thinking this way internally, he then looked at Iron One with a calm expression, saying, ”I understand. Where are they now? In the grand hall?”

Although he sensed danger, he couldn’t possibly lack the courage to face them now.

Moreover, if it were elsewhere, indeed he wouldn’t be a match for the two experts at the peak of the Second Level Late Stage Beast, but in this Enlightened Deity Cave, this is his stronghold, and with Zhen Jingkong here, how could he not have a hidden trump card?

”Yes, Master, they are both in the grand hall now. Do you want us to accompany you there?” Iron One immediately nodded, followed by some hesitation and inquiry.

”Forget it, I’ll go by myself. Two at the peak of the Second Level Late Stage Beast, whether you accompany me or not, it would be the same if things get chaotic.” Chen Fei shook his head, then walked straight to the Enlightened Deity Cave Grand Hall alone.

Moments later, when Chen Fei entered the Enlightened Deity Cave Grand Hall alone, he finally met those two legendary figures, the Grand Island Master and the Second Island Master of Canglan Island.

The Grand Island Master, Taoist Cang Kun, had a wide mouth with two long, crystalline whiskers on his lips, his half-narrowed eyes smiling while scrutinizing Chen Fei with a deep, friendly look. Yet, should anyone underestimate him because of this, it would be a grave mistake.

In the Cultivation World, strength has always been revered, the biggest fist being the ultimate truth.

As for the Blue Whale Elder, he was once so formidable that the current Sect Master Blackwind of Cloud Dragon Mountain had to pursue him but found nowhere to escape. Despite this, he remained the Second Island Master of Canglan Island, not the Grand Island Master, which says it all.

The broad-jawed Blue Whale Elder was now coldly staring at Chen Fei with an unfriendly gaze,

because he never imagined, nor expected, that Chen Fei would be so young. A Third-Level Alchemist at such a young age, is that even possible?

”So you are the two Island Masters, Cang Kun and Blue Whale of Canglan Island? My name is Chen Fei, a pleasure to meet you.” Chen Fei, with a faint smile on his face, stared at Cang Kun and Blue Whale with a calm and unyielding demeanor.

”Indeed, we are. I am Cang Kun, and this is my old friend Blue Whale. We intrude abruptly today, pardon us.” Taoist Cang Kun, visibly surprised at Chen Fei’s youth, perfunctory replied with his face a bit absent-minded, his eyes fixated on Chen Fei’s face with a flicker of complexity.

”Not at all, it’s an honor for the two of you to...” Chen Fei was about to be more courteous when the Blue Whale Elder suddenly interrupted.

”Are you the Master of this Enlightened Deity Cave?” Blue Whale Elder asked coldly, staring at Chen Fei.

”I am,” Chen Fei replied.

”I’ve heard rumors outside that you’re a Third-Level Alchemist. Is this true? Given your current age... is it all just baseless talk?” Blue Whale Elder coldly demanded again, his attitude quite unkind.

Clearly, to him, an alchemist generally requires time and extensive experience to reach such a status, yet in front of him, Chen Fei is young. Could someone at such an age even be a Third-Level Alchemist, let alone a Second Level Superior or Mid-Grade Alchemist? It seemed impossible to him.

Thinking this, he felt that their trip had been entirely in vain, and how could he not be frustrated inside?!

Moreover, evidently, even the congenial Taoist Cang Kun likely held the same thoughts now, or why would he remain silent?

”Whether I am a Third-Level Alchemist or not, it seems to have nothing to do with you, Island Master Blue Whale?” Hearing this, Chen Fei immediately frowned and responded equally stiffly.

This old coot, even if his skills are formidable, seems to be taking himself too seriously.

Coming in with insults and interrogations right off the bat?
