Although Taoist Cang Kun and Blue Whale Elder have been life-and-death friends for most of their lives, in fact, Taoist Cang Kun is at least a full cycle older than Blue Whale Elder.

So now, Taoist Cang Kun has repeatedly failed to break through to the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beast to extend his lifespan, and is actually already somewhat close to running out of oil, unable to live for many more years.

Blue Whale Elder, although aware of this situation, had chosen to selectively forget it. Unexpectedly, now Cang Kun is actually planning this.

”But, I, I...” Even so, Blue Whale Elder still seemed unable to accept it.

However, it was clear that Taoist Cang Kun had no intention of wasting more words with him.

Taking advantage of the other’s confused state, Taoist Cang Kun raised his hand, and with a flash of azure light, the Azure Light Bamboo directly smashed onto the other’s head, knocking him out.

Seeing this, Taoist Cang Kun then breathed a slight sigh of relief, turned to Chen Fei, and respectfully said, ”Chief Chen, does this look acceptable to you?” Obviously, he was already starting to adapt to his new role.

”Hmm.” Chen Fei nodded, but still couldn’t help but give him a peculiar look.

He hadn’t imagined the other could be so decisive. To lower himself, willing to become a servant for an old friend, to such an extent...

But since things had come to this, he certainly couldn’t say anything to go back on his word now.

”Take him away and follow me.” Then Chen Fei spoke. This great hall was obviously not suitable for treating illnesses or detoxification.

At this moment, however, he did not know that because of the Black Profound Copper Essence buried in the Black Profound Copper Vein, danger was quietly approaching their Enlightened Deity Cave.

...

”Luo Quan, you say that the Black Profound Copper Essence under the Black Profound Copper Vein in Enlightened Deity Cave is about to be discovered by them. Is this information accurate?” In a certain secret chamber within Red Lion Cave, the gaze of Red Lion Daoist fell like a sword on Luo Quan, one of the four great elders of the cave, his expression gloomy and quite unpleasant.

”Lord Cave Master, barring any accidents, this information should be 100% accurate. Previously, someone from Enlightened Deity Cave had already discovered traces of Black Profound Copper Essence under the Black Profound Copper Vein, and although those people were eliminated by our insiders, such matters can only be hidden for a while and not forever.”

Luo Quan said affirmatively, adding further, ”Moreover, according to our insider in the Black Profound Copper Vein, the unusual aura of Black Profound Copper Essence in the vein has become extremely strong. Those from Enlightened Deity Cave have also started to have suspicions, and news was already spreading out a few days ago.”

Bam!

”Damn it!”

Upon hearing this, Red Lion Daoist cursed angrily, the cup in his hand heavily landing on the table, shattering into powder.

If this message had indeed been relayed back by the members of Enlightened Deity Cave within the Black Profound Copper Vein, and was known by Chen Fei, then it would be exceedingly difficult for Red Lion Daoist to obtain the Black Profound Copper Vein and the Black Profound Copper Essence within.

For such immense temptation, a treasure comparable to top-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, who would willingly hand it over to others? Wouldn’t that be insane?

But although that’s what he said, immediately afterward, Red Lion Daoist couldn’t help pacing back and forth restlessly in the secret chamber.

Although the Black Profound Copper Essence is indeed a valuable item, the problem is, the strength that Chen Fei displayed at his birthday banquet was equally astonishing! Moreover, his character is extremely forceful and domineering, not giving face even to Cloud Dragon Mountain, so overbearing!

To be honest, if not absolutely necessary, even Red Lion Daoist would not want to easily engage in conflict with someone like that!

But the problem is, if he chooses to give up, would he really abandon the Black Profound Copper Essence?

That is, after all, an absolutely top-grade crafting material for making top-grade magic artifacts! Invaluable. Who would willingly give it up so easily?

Not to mention everything that happened at Red Lion Daoist’s birthday banquet, just what happened in Enlightened Deity Cave prior, Luo Quan already knows that Chen Fei’s capabilities are crystal clear, undeniably so.

So, he is not at all surprised by Red Lion Daoist’s agitation and hesitation at this moment.

However, regarding how he was so miserably handled by Chen Fei back then, Luo Quan still harbors resentment in his heart.

Thinking of this, a glint of resentment and coldness flickered in Luo Quan’s eyes, and then he took a deep breath and said, ”Lord Cave Master, there’s another matter I feel is necessary to mention.”

”What is it? Speak!” Red Lion Daoist’s eyes flashed keenly as he impatiently commanded.

”Lord Cave Master, based on the report from our spy within the Black Profound Copper Vein, there is a high possibility that the Black Profound Copper Essence buried deep within the Black Profound Copper Vein is not just a small quantity, but has likely formed on a scale, at least micro!”

”What did you say? You say the Black Profound Copper Essence buried underneath the Black Profound Copper Vein has already formed on a scale, at least micro?” Red Lion Daoist abruptly halted his pacing, his breathing instantly growing heavy, his eyes excited and bloodshot, blurting out.

A scaled Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, what kind of concept is that?

One must know even the sporadic Black Profound Copper Essence buried beneath the Black Profound Copper Vein has already sparked his greed, let alone now, if that Black Profound Copper Essence has formed on a scale, becoming a micro vein...

Never mind him, even a carefree Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert would not be able to resist such immense temptation!

A micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, how many Spirit Stones would that represent, what scale of wealth!?

”Of course it’s true. Lord Cave Master, I don’t think they would dare send false news back to deceive you. Even if the Black Profound Copper Essence buried under the Black Profound Copper Vein hasn’t yet fully formed a real scale, it shouldn’t be too far off.”

Seeing his words igniting Red Lion Daoist’s desire, Luo Quan quickly seized the opportunity to fan the flames, saying, ”Lord Cave Master, I have a suggestion, may I dare to offer it?”

”Speak!” Red Lion Daoist’s eyes turned cold as he gazed at Luo Quan, speaking slowly.

”Unlike the worthless Black Profound Copper, the Black Profound Copper Essence is a truly precious treasure, capable of crafting top-grade magic artifacts. Such top-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even if it’s already or nearly formed on a micro-scale, even sporadic bits, are unquestionably valuable.”

At this point, Luo Quan paused slightly, his tone turning somewhat insidious, ”Lord Cave Master, although that Chen fellow is formidable now, his Enlightened Deity Cave still has a fatal flaw, and that is a shallow foundation, hardly anyone below truly worth employing. In such a situation, although one hand alone cannot clap, but once he discovers the secret within the Black Profound Copper Vein and extracts the Black Profound Copper Essence, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Upon hearing this, Red Lion Daoist’s face turned gloomy, looking exceedingly unpleasant.

How could he not understand or grasp the point behind Luo Quan’s words?
