Medical Sage

Pei Xuandong gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury, as he agreed to Chen Fei’s extortionate demand! But what an enormous sum fifty thousand low grade Spirit Stones was. Even as the Third Elder of the Pei Family, it was impossible for him to just conjure up such a sum.

He didn’t have that kind of financial power and foundation!

”Can’t do it? If you can’t do it, doesn’t that mean you won’t try to borrow it? With so many people watching the spectacle around us, with the Pei Family’s status and level, can’t they borrow even this little amount of Spirit Stones?” Chen Fei spoke with a look of disdain.

Anyway, it was all deliberate; the grudge was already formed, so he didn’t care if the other party hated him even more! Wasn’t this their own doing?

”You!” Pei Xuandong’s eyes nearly popped out, his face snarled, his gaze blood-red! He was utterly furious inside.

This extortion for fifty thousand low grade Spirit Stones, and he had to borrow it? What was this? An insult to him!?

It wasn’t just him; not far away, many people from various major forces were just as shocked, and their faces turned extremely ugly! Instinctively, they wanted to quietly slip away from this troublesome place, to dissociate themselves!

This amount of Spirit Stones, what a disgrace; it was the Pei Family being extorted. If they were borrowed from them, how could they possibly be willing to return them afterwards!?

Wouldn’t that be akin to giving them away for free! How could they possibly want to do that?

But if Pei Xuandong really asked, with the Pei Family’s power and influence in Eagle Gorge, would they dare say ’no’?

”It seems you want to go back on your word?” Chen Fei sneered, waving his hand, swish, swish, swish... the Sword Qi of Sanyang True Fire appeared like shooting stars, densely filling the air, coldly pointing, the icy Sword Qi locking on to the Pei Family’s forces!

”Wait, wait a moment!” Pei Xuandong hurriedly, with an even more unsightly expression, reached out to stop him! He shouted coldly.

After the shout fell, he suddenly cast a menacing look at Sima Kun nearby, his face turning from blue to purple, with a sullen expression, he said, ”Your foundation is in Azure Dragon Ravine, can you gather fifty thousand low grade Spirit Stones?”

Sima Kun’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this, his eyes flickered, his heart bitter, wanting to refuse, but that ’no’ word, he simply couldn’t say it.

He had no choice; now that Lord Changhong was dead and the Pei Family had been publicly disgraced, losing face, if Sima Kun were to turn against them at this moment, to withdraw, wouldn’t that be seen as breaking ties!?

More importantly, given the current situation, he had already completely offended Chen Fei, this monster-like prodigy. Without the Pei Family’s protection, standing on the same side as him, what should he do!? With just him, Sima Kun alone, there was no way he could withstand both Chen Fei and Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion! At that time, his life would be in danger.

”I can’t gather fifty thousand low grade Spirit Stones... I can only come up with thirty thousand.” Finally, Sima Kun, with a sullen face, gritted his teeth and said.

”Thirty thousand? Thirty thousand will do, that’s enough.” Pei Xuandong nodded with a sullen face.

He still had some on hand, adding them together, it was enough.

After a short while, those fifty thousand low grade Spirit Stones fell into Chen Fei’s hands, the Pei Family’s forces left in disgrace, becoming a laughing stock.

However, the cold, malicious look Pei Xuandong cast at Chen Fei as he left reminded everyone constantly...

This matter was far from over! The Pei Family had suffered such a loss, they wouldn’t just let it go.

”Master, let’s leave quickly. We can’t stay in Azure Dragon Ravine anymore.” Blue Whale said, very worried as the approaching storm loomed, wanting to leave this place.

”Now? I’m afraid we can’t leave now.” Chen Fei squinted, shaking his head, murmuring with a somewhat grave expression.

”Can’t leave? Why?” Blue Whale was startled upon hearing this, not understanding.

”Right now, the outside is filled with Pei Family people, their spies; if we were to leave so openly, drawing their attention outside, exposing our Enlightened Deity Cave, what would we do?”

Cang Kun answered the question for Chen Fei. With a frown, his expression was extremely unpleasant, ”Our Enlightened Deity Cave can’t possibly withstand that behemoth, the Pei Family, right now!”

”Hiss!” Blue Whale’s eyes narrowed, instinctively taking a deep breath, his face slightly changed, ”Then, what should we do now!?”

Beside him, Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, was also somewhat silent, his eyes flickering, watching Chen Fei.

In his view, since Chen Fei dared to do what he did before, he must certainly have follow-up plans! Surely, he wasn’t just recklessly charging ahead without any concerns?

”How powerful is the Pei Family, does anyone of you know?” Chen Fei squinted his eyes and abruptly asked.

”As far as I know, in our Eagle Gorge, the Pei Family, just at the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, there are three elders who are experts! Especially the Great Elder of the Pei Family, Pei Wanbin, who is a terrifying figure... There are rumors that he has already reached the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm. Moreover...”

At this point, Cang Kun paused for a moment, then continued, ”Moreover, this is just what they show on the surface. For a force like theirs, with the vast support of the main branch of the Pei Family, their foundation is too profound.”

Speaking of which, even someone like Cang Kun couldn’t help but tremble slightly in his heart. If it weren’t for Chen Fei, he and Blue Whale alone would definitely not dare provoke the Pei Family, such a terrifying colossus.

It’s not a matter of courage, but rather, their strength and foundation are completely unequal! They’re not on the same level.

Besides, he made it very clear with his words. Just on the surface, the Pei Family is already so powerful! If they have hidden strength, what does that even mean?

If the Pei Family were to produce another expert of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, I’m afraid they could sweep through Eagle Gorge with ease.

”Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment?” Upon hearing this, even Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, couldn’t help but have his eyes contract, a look of grimness appeared on his face, instinctively.

He is at the peak of the First Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, just half a step away from the Second Heavenly Layer… precisely because of this, he knows very well the formidable and overwhelming power that one faces after that half-step gap!

A cultivator at the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment, even the most ordinary one, could easily deal with three of his kind, Yan Zhou, all at the same time! Enough to fight one against three.

”I originally intended to handle this matter after I went back, but now it seems… Blue Whale, take these alchemy materials and find Yuan Qing. If possible, have him prepare them as quickly as possible and bring them to me.” Chen Fei murmured, handing a paper filled with writing to Blue Whale.

”Yes, Master. I will head out immediately.” Blue Whale took the paper without hesitation and set off.

”...Cave Master, what is that?” Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, couldn’t help but ask with curiosity.

”Are you asking about the alchemy materials on that paper?” Chen Fei grinned and didn’t keep him in suspense, saying, ”That is the recipe for the Demon Pill of Soldiers.”

”Demon Pill of Soldiers?” Upon hearing this, Cang Kun trembled all over, his eyes narrowing. While he didn’t know what the Demon Pill of Soldiers was, he was very sensitive to the word ’demon’!

Could it be?

”Clap, clap.” At this moment, Chen Fei patted Cang Kun on the shoulder and smiled, ”You and Blue Whale, don’t let me down.”

”Master...” Upon hearing this, Cang Kun’s whole body trembled more, his eyes filled with astonishment as he stared at Chen Fei.

Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, was similarly astonished, his gaze flickering. From Chen Fei’s words, he’d deduced and guessed some things.

Could it be that this so-called Demon Pill of Soldiers is...

”The Demon Pill of Soldiers, a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Pill, has its core material as the Xuann Yin Grass. Its effect is to increase the success rate by forty percent for late-stage Second-Level Demon Beasts attempting to break into the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beasts.” Chen Fei smiled, finally revealing the answer.

Gasp! At almost the same time, Cang Kun and Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, gasped, their expressions changing dramatically, their gaze quivering in disbelief and shock...

”It can, it can increase the success rate of breaking into the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beasts by forty percent?” Cang Kun’s expression was one of wild joy as he stammered at Chen Fei, feeling as if he were dreaming.

Being able to increase the success rate of breaking into the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beasts by forty percent, what does that even mean!?

If it already increases the success rate by forty percent, and he, Cang Kun, still couldn’t succeed in breaking into the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beasts, he might as well find a wall to knock himself out!

But, but, but is this really true?

Does such an overwhelmingly effective pill truly exist!?

Can the Master really successfully refine such a pill!?

Won’t the refining be prone to failure due to immense difficulty!?

”Gasp! Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Pill? Ca-Cave Master, are you a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Alchemist?” Even Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, was nearly stunned by Chen Fei’s words, sucking in a breath, stammering, and incredulous.

To refine a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Pill, one would need at least a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Alchemist to have the capability!

Moreover, in fact, under usual circumstances, even if a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Alchemist tries to refine a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Pill, it’s often prone to failure!

But now, when Chen Fei said this, his tone and relaxed attitude seemed, seemed like he’d never considered the possibility of failure in alchemy at all?

Even a renowned Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Alchemist couldn’t be one hundred percent confident, could they, at successfully refining a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Pill every time?

Gasp! W-wait, could it be… Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, suddenly looked at Chen Fei with a horrified gaze! Could it be that the Cave Master is even more powerful than a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Alchemist!?

”A Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Alchemist? Guess.” Chen Fei smiled. This was something he certainly could not reveal. And couldn’t explain.

Because he certainly couldn’t say that when it comes to alchemy, a Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Alchemist wouldn’t even be qualified to carry his shoes… If he really said that, forget about Yan Zhou, even Cang Kun would see him as a fool, right?

So there’s really nothing to say. Better to maintain the mystery.
