Medical Sage

After emerging from the Duanmu Mansion, Chen Fei and the others returned to the street outside Azure Dragon Ravine.

Although the commotion earlier at Duanmu Mansion caught some attention here, people only perceived it vaguely. They aren’t the ones involved, so naturally, they couldn’t recognize Chen Fei and the others.

”Master Chen, they are really too much! It’s one thing not to trust your alchemy skills, but to resort to violence... it’s utterly unacceptable.” After stepping out from the shadowy corner, Quann Zhenyi said with indignation.

In the eyes of an alchemist like him, a skilled alchemist held a much higher status than any Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert.

”If only we had broken through to the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beast, we wouldn’t let them run amok in the master’s presence!” Blue Whale said, somewhat angrily.

If he succeeds in breaking through to the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beast, what does a mere Elder Duanmu amount to in his presence!?

”Though saying that, reaching the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beast is not as easy as mere words imply,” Ke Cangkun shook his head, speaking with mild exasperation.

They have been stuck in the Peak of Second Level Late Stage Beast Realm for decades, yet reaching the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beast remains distant.

”That’s not necessarily true.” But at this moment, Chen Fei, who was walking in front, suddenly flashed his eyes, and spoke softly.

”Hmm!?” Upon hearing this, Ke Cangkun and Blue Whale’s eyes narrowed, displaying an excited expression.

”Hey kid, what are you doing? Do you not have eyes?!” Suddenly, a voice carrying malicious laughter and ’anger’ rang out.

A fierce-looking burly man hawking wares by the roadside was shouting at Chen Fei.

”You mother…” Seeing this guy dare yell at Chen Fei, Blue Whale reacted angrily; his eyes turned cold, ready to retort.

But just then, Chen Fei suddenly reached out to stop him, indicating to remain silent.

It was indeed his oversight, thinking deeply about some issues without watching his steps, accidentally kicking the items displayed by the roadside.

So, it was indeed his fault. The anger from the other party was understandable.

However, the stall took up too much space.

Set up onto the street, and it is quite possible to inadvertently kick past his items unnoticed.

Yet at this moment, Chen Fei’s mind was elsewhere, prompting him to apologize: ”I’m sorry, I was distracted earlier and accidentally caused that. I apologize.”

”Apologize? Just apologizing is useless! Compensate me, pay spirit stones!” At this point, the fierce-looking burly man revealed his true colors, wearing a sinister smile as he leered at Chen Fei.

”Compensate spirit stones?” Chen Fei furrowed his eyebrows slightly; his eyes flashed.

Despite being distracted, he has certainly figured it out now! This is entirely a trap set purposely for people to fall into!?

”What, kicked my belongings, kid trying to deny responsibility!?” The fierce-looking burly man thought he had won. He looked at Chen Fei, leering and mocking.

After waiting so long, finally a ’fat sheep’ has come to the door! The passing of time had him waiting quite eagerly.

Laughing slyly within, the fierce-looking burly man snapped his fingers, and suddenly, two or three individuals with similar grins emerged from behind. Each possessing astonishing presence, arms crossed, surrounded Chen Fei and his companions.

”Qi Refining Seventh Layer? Leave quickly…” A while ago, many were enjoying the spectacle. But upon seeing them surrounded by those experts of Qi Refining Seventh Layer, faces changed immediately, fearful of getting involved in trouble.

Timid ones took off first.

”You…” Faced with this scene, Ke Cangkun and Blue Whale burst into rage.

Clearly understanding now, that fierce-looking burly man was intentional right from the start!

The stall was audaciously set up, and anyone accidentally kicked the items would face extortion demands!

This practice has a specific term on Earth, which is ’framing’!

The other four are obviously his accomplices.

Although Chen Fei reached out again, restraining Ke Cangkun and Blue Whale, signaling them to remain silent.

Then Chen Fei casually glanced over the stall, mostly rubbish, but a strangely shaped stone caught his eye...

”Alright, compensation; what’s the total value of these items? Name a price, I’ll pay.” Chen Fei spoke calmly.

”Really!?” Upon hearing that, the fierce-looking burly man became ecstatic, overjoyed, unexpectedly finding Chen Fei so easily frightened! He hadn’t even started ’activities, performance’ yet, already intimidated into complying?

Seeing this, those brave enough to watch the situation displayed contempt toward Chen Fei. Such cowardice? Agreeing to compensate so easily?

Ke Cangkun, Blue Whale, and others were somewhat bewildered, but they now understood Chen Fei must have other ideas or plans, staying quiet as they waited.

Upon realization, the fierce-looking burly man extended his hand, showing three fingers, and directed at Chen Fei threateningly: ”This Much. Pay this, and today’s incident will end.”

”This amount? Thirty low-grade spirit stones?” Chen Fei still maintained a calm expression, asked.

”Thirty? Three hundred! Three hundred low-grade spirit stones, or else today I’ll make sure you suffer!” The fierce-looking burly man glared, coldly extorting Chen Fei.

”Three hundred!?”

”Damn, has this guy gone crazy over spirits stones!?”

”This is just daylight robbery.”

”Yeah, with the junk on his stall, it’s not even worth three low-grade spirit stones, let alone three hundred!”

”This is just shameless!?”

”Shh, I know them. They seem to be people around Second Master Sima. Don’t let them hear you.”

”Second Master Sima? Which Second Master Sima!?”

”Which other Second Master Sima? Lord Sima Kun’s younger brother, that’s who!”

”So it’s him...”

...

The onlookers immediately erupted in a frenzy.

Three hundred low-grade spirit stones, this is as good as robbing spirit stones, isn’t it!?

However, someone exposed their identities! Turns out these guys were relying on something, that’s why they dared to be so audacious and extort people on the street.

Second Master Sima... If Sima Army is considered a playboy of the younger generation, then Second Master Sima is the old school’s playboy.

Relying on the identity and strength of his elder brother, Lord Sima Kun, he ran rampant in the Azure Dragon Ravine, nose in the air, daring to do anything shameless!

”Are you all looking to die? Whoever wants to die, step forward, and I’ll make it happen!” Seeing this scene, the ferocious man immediately glared menacingly and cursed harshly.

The four Qi Refining Seventh Layer experts around Chen Fei also showed cruel smiles and shouted curses.

”Can’t you see!? Get lost, what are you crowding around to see? Get lost now!” Someone shouted arrogantly and recklessly, eyes full of malice, aura intimidating.

”Three hundred low-grade spirit stones, you’re really shameless to quote such a price.” At this, Chen Fei shook his head and laughed wryly.

These guys are really trying to cheat anyone they can!

Three hundred low-grade spirit stones, how can they even quote such a figure? Do I really look like a fool with too much money to them?

Doesn’t matter how much you want to cheat, it’s up to you!?

”What? Kid, you trying to mess with us?” the ferocious man sneered, ”Let me tell you, today you must give these three hundred low-grade spirit stones whether you want to or not!”

”Otherwise, don’t blame me for making you regret it! You won’t even make it out of the Azure Dragon Ravine.” At the end of his words, the ferocious man spoke insidiously, full of threats.

”This is outright bullying!”

”Alright, shut up! Be quiet. These guys have been doing this here all along.”

”Yeah, a lot of people have been extorted by them before. If you don’t pay, the consequences are terrible. After all, these guys have Second Master Sima as their backing!”

”Alas, this guy is just unlucky this time. Really bad luck.”

”Yeah, let’s go, don’t get involved...”

...

The crowd stirred again.

Those guys were utterly fearless. With such backing, what was there to fear!?

”Alright then, three hundred low-grade spirit stones, I’ll pay.” At this moment, it seemed Chen Fei gave in. He took out a bag of low-grade spirit stones and handed it over.

”Really three hundred low-grade spirit stones? Haha, hahaha... At least you know what’s good for you, kid!” Seeing this, the ferocious man was stunned, then laughed arrogantly and heartily.

He pat Chen Fei’s shoulder with an arrogant laugh, ”Not bad, kid, you know how to behave. That’s good, that’s good, haha, hahaha...”

”So, these things should all be mine now, right?” Seeing the man pat his shoulder, Chen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly but didn’t move, only asked calmly.

”Yours, yours! Haha, you can take them all if you want.” The ferocious man laughed and waved his hand. These were just things he’d randomly found to extort fools with, worth a few pennies!?

Not worth anything at all!

”This...” Seeing this, Cang Kun, Blue Whale, Quann Zhenyi, and the others looked at each other.

They obviously knew Chen Fei could easily deal with those guys, but instead, he let himself be ’extorted’ three hundred low-grade spirit stones!

What’s going on!?

”Hehe.” But the next moment, Chen Fei grinned slightly. With a gesture, the oddly shaped stone was caught in his hand by spiritual energy.

”What is this thing?” In Chen Fei’s consciousness, Zhen Jingkong asked curiously.

He had stayed within Chen Fei’s consciousness long enough to know him well. This kid never does anything without benefit.

So, he must have seen something in that oddly shaped stone. But what exactly was hidden inside!?
