”Wait! Please, young friend, hold on.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei frowned, paused his steps, turned around, and looked at Elder Zhuu, speaking with a somewhat indifferent tone, ”What is it? Now that you’ve stopped me, do you want to settle old scores?”

”Oh, is that what you think? Does this old man really come across as unlikable?” Seeing Chen Fei’s tone so hard, Elder Zhuu immediately realized Chen Fei misunderstood, and quickly smiled bitterly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei was slightly stunned. He was always someone who responded better to gentleness than hostility. The other’s patient attitude made him feel slightly embarrassed.

After all, this old man was a Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Expert. What a respected and powerful status that is!

The fact that he spoke to him like this and wasn’t angry after being rebuffed a few times was really quite remarkable.

In life, one ought to consider things from others’ perspectives.

Always being tense and uptight is simply unreasonable. It’s unnecessary.

Seeing Chen Fei no longer showing a resistant attitude, Elder Zhuu also slightly relaxed.

Then his gaze swept across the crowd present, and soon, he issued a gentle request for departure.

”Everyone, our Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce is temporarily closed for half an hour. Apologies, but I must ask you to leave for now,” Elder Zhuu said succinctly.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. However, with Elder Zhuu personally speaking, they certainly dared not go against anything.

They were then seen one by one leaving with reluctance. It felt quite regrettable.

”Yuan Jie, aren’t you coming over to apologize to this young friend? Regarding Feiyun’s issue, I’ve looked into it; it was purely his own fault for not seeing clearly, deserving what he got.”

Once the hall became empty, Master Yuan Qing looked at Yuan Jie with a furrowed brow, whose expression was grim and venomous, his eyes shining, and spoke slowly.

If the opponent wasn’t someone influential, he might have turned a blind eye, pretending not to know. Let Yuan Jie have his way.

But now, the opponent had surprisingly produced a Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pill, such a precious pill.

With such connections, such gestures, such channels... how could he not know the opponent was undoubtedly someone of extraordinary origin?

So, as he spoke this sentence now, he wasn’t actually scolding Yuan Jie, more so, he intended to exculpate Yuan Jie.

Otherwise, if there’s any real resentment between the parties, it could escalate, and who knows what bigger issues might arise in the future!

Just for that pampered kid Yuan Feiyun, it was truly unnecessary, not worth it.

”Master, my son was beaten up by him and seriously injured! Now you want me to apologize to him? On what grounds!? That’s impossible!”

But Yuan Jie’s reaction was exceptionally intense, his face twisted, eyes venomous, refusing without a second thought.

”You…” Master Yuan Qing’s expression changed, his brows furrowing.

Meanwhile, Elder Zhuu had already started speaking to Chen Fei again.

With a somewhat uncertain gaze directed at Chen Fei, he hesitantly asked, ”I have a somewhat private question. I wonder if I should ask it or not.”

”If you have any questions, just speak your mind.” Chen Fei’s current impression of Elder Zhuu was still slightly favorable, he spoke lightly.

”Alright then, I’ll ask.” Elder Zhuu took a deep breath and asked Chen Fei with a serious expression, ”I wonder if you could tell me, those two Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pills, whose masterpiece are they?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Master Yuan Qing disregarded reprimanding Yuan Jie. Then he too, addressed Chen Fei gravely, ”Indeed. Young friend, I wonder if you could introduce me to such a master. Of course, whether or not it succeeds, I, Yuan Qing, will definitely show great gratitude!”

Evidently, in his mind, the individual capable of crafting these two Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pills must be an Alchemy Master of Fourth Grade or higher!

Being able to receive an introduction and study with such a master was of immense importance to him.

”You mean those two pills?” Chen Fei glanced at the excited expression on Master Yuan Qing, then looked at Elder Zhuu, meeting his flickering gaze, slightly stunned, realizing the other seemed to have guessed something.

”Although I don’t understand alchemy, I can still tell that these two pills seem to have been freshly refined, right? Young friend, am I correct?” Elder Zhuu, seeing Chen Fei’s slightly stunned expression, shook his hand, and his gaze tightly locked onto Chen Fei, he said.

”Freshly refined?”

Master Yuan Qing was stunned when he heard this, then immediately emotionally took out the pill bottle, examined it meticulously. Within moments, his pupils became much heavier than before.

”Correct! These two pills have just been refined, no more than ten days old, could it be that this master is in our Azure Dragon Ravine right now?” Master Yuan Qing murmured excitedly.

Don’t be fooled by the fact he’s currently a Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist; compared to those of Fourth Grade and above, he’s on a completely different level.

A mere half a step difference is like worlds apart.

But then, he heard a sentence which caused his whole body to tremble, leaving him incredulous.

”Indeed, freshly refined. These two pills were crafted by me, is there a problem?”

At this moment, the daze on Chen Fei’s face had already vanished, replaced by an expression of calm and a justified composure.

”I made both of these pills. Is there a problem with that?”

”As expected!” Elder Zhuu’s pupils contracted, not surprised at all, having already guessed the truth.

”What did you say?!” Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing Master was instantly shaken, staring intently at Chen Fei, not daring to blink! His hands trembled violently.

”You, you said that these two Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pills were made by you?”

Yuan Qing Master’s gaze trembled as he stared blankly at Chen Fei, even unconsciously adding a touch of respect in his address.

Because if this were true, Chen Fei would indeed be deserving of such a ’you’ from Yuan Qing.

After all, as the saying goes, a Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist is simply not on the same level as someone above Fourth Grade.

”No, impossible, you’re talking nonsense!”

Just then, a voice filled with extreme anger and frenzy suddenly erupted in the hall.

It was Yuan Jie who had jumped out again, his face twisted, expression venomous, with deep disdain and trembling in his gaze towards Chen Fei. He shouted angrily,

”Master, Elder Zhuu, are you both mad?! Just because he says he made these two Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pills, that means he really did? Then if I say I made them, does that mean they’re mine, Yuan Jie’s?!”

Yuan Jie roared, eyes viciously sweeping towards Chen Fei, his mouth curling into a sneer, laughing coldly, ”Heh, you have some nerve to boast about yourself like this. What makes you think you can talk about alchemy?”

”Oh, you’re saying I can’t do alchemy?” Chen Fei laughed at these words, lips curling up as he looked at Yuan Jie, a deep look of disdain on his face.

In the whole Cultivation World, no one has the right to say Chen Fei can’t do alchemy, right?

”What else could it be?”

Seeing Chen Fei’s calm attitude, Yuan Jie grew even more enraged, pointing a finger at Chen Fei’s nose, saying, ”Let me tell you! It doesn’t matter how you managed to get these two Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pills; in my eyes, you’re always a waste, always trash!”

”How noble and top-tier is the identity of an Alchemist, how could a piece of trash like you ever reach such heights? Truly overestimating oneself!”

Yuan Jie hysterically roared, looking at Chen Fei with all kinds of irony, disdain, and insults!

Yet, only Yuan Jie himself knew the trembling underlying his words.

The nobility of the Alchemist identity, along with its rarity, made most people in this circle incredibly proud! The higher the rank, the more arrogant people became.

But if their proud identity was to be trampled and surpassed by someone else, what would they be then?!

At this moment, the thought completely terrified Yuan Jie!

In fact, in the Alchemist circle, hierarchy is quite a strict rule!

A low-level Alchemist daring to be presumptuous in front of a high-level Alchemist is practically courting death!

And now... Rationality was making him feel frightened, feel afraid, but fear kept him from believing that Chen Fei could have such alchemical prowess!

”Enough! Shut up.” Elder Zhuu coldly snapped, looking unimpressed at the twisted-faced Yuan Jie, ”Yuan Jie, don’t you think you’re saying too much now?”

Although Yuan Jie did have some alchemy talent, his current status as a Low Grade Third-Level Alchemist was simply unworthy of Elder Zhuu’s consideration.

”Yuan Jie, that’s enough! You’ve talked too much today. My young friend, I apologize for not disciplining better; I’ll apologize on his behalf.”

Yuan Qing Master, though somewhat collected now and no longer addressing Chen Fei with respect, still...

In every respect, he dared not underestimate Chen Fei one bit!

Because if it were true...

”What do you mean, enough!? Master, Elder Zhuu, have you both been bewitched by him? If he can really make these two Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pills, I’ll take my head off and let him use it as a stool! Just him? What a joke!”

Unfortunately, Yuan Jie was already completely agitated and insane. He shouted in a loud voice, looking at Chen Fei with extreme contempt and mockery.

”Did you just say that yourself?” Chen Fei raised an eyebrow.

”So what if I said it!?” Yuan Jie’s heart trembled, but he screamed fiercely to cover his internal fear.

”Fine... In that case, let me fulfill your wish.” Chen Fei replied with a cold smile.

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, both Elder Zhuu and Yuan Qing Master had their pupils contract, secretly drawing a sharp breath in their hearts. Their hearts couldn’t help but race wildly...
