People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

161: Chapter 161 Killing the Opponent! Do You Still Have a Trump Card?”I don’t know the true strength of an Alchemist?” Xiao Ting almost laughed out loud.

The true strength of an Alchemist is nothing more than their soul power and their ability to call for help.

He, Xiao Ting, feared nothing regarding the former. Han Feng, this piece of trash, was still only a Sixth-Rank Alchemist; his soul realm could not be very high, and it was impossible for him to know any powerful soul techniques.

As for the ability to call for help.

What an idiot. Did he really think that his angry tirade earlier was just to seek justice for Venerable Yao?

Betrayal, being an ungrateful wretch—even in the Black-Corner Region, a place that completely thrives on the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak, such people would always be despised.

Those who established factions in the Black-Corner Region, were they not afraid of betrayal and backstabbing?

Precisely because the living environment of the Black-Corner Region was so harsh, they cared even more about loyalty.

Han Feng would become an existence despised by everyone in the Black-Corner Region!

”Everyone!”

Clearly, Han Feng really did not have this realization. He addressed those around him, saying, ”Friends present, please help me take down this person. I, Han, am willing to refine any pill below the Seventh Grade for you for free, without charging any service fees.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a burning look appeared in many people’s eyes.

If Xiao Ting’s words were true, then Han Feng was indeed a stupid idiot.

If he hadn’t betrayed Venerable Yao, he would likely be a Dou Zun expert and a Grade 8 Alchemist by now.

But this did not prevent him from currently being the number one Alchemist in the Black-Corner Region, and the only Sixth-Rank high-level Alchemist on the surface who could occasionally refine Seventh Grade pills.

The Huangji Pill and the Break-Sect Pill, pills that were enough to move a Dou Huang expert, were merely Sixth-Rank pills. It was hard for the Dou Wang and Dou Huang experts present not to be tempted.

The most important point: it was free, with no service fees.

Asking an Alchemist to refine pills often required using up favors or giving a reward that would move the Alchemist.

Once an Alchemist agreed, one needed to provide at least two sets of medicinal ingredients. The first attempt was for the ”guest”; regardless of whether it succeeded or failed, the transaction was considered complete. As for any remaining ingredients, they naturally belonged to the Alchemist; this was called a service fee.

The higher the success rate of the Alchemist and the higher the quality of the pills they refined, the more expensive the requested rewards and service fees would be.

To give a simple example, Yao Chen was a peak Grade 8 Alchemist. If his soul hadn’t only been at the half-step Heaven Realm, he would have been capable of attempting to refine Ninth Grade Pills.

Asking him to refine an Eighth Grade Pill required offering a reward sufficient to move him, and then providing three sets of medicinal ingredients for the refinement, or other ingredients of equivalent value.

Therefore, Alchemists were filthy rich, held high status, had many friends, and were easily not to be trifled with.

Everyone had a day when they needed an Alchemist, and everyone wanted to spend less on service fees and rewards.

By comparison, acting as a bodyguard or hired thug was the lowest-cost and cheapest form of payment.

Han Feng’s condition was indeed tempting.

However, his character and reputation as an ungrateful wretch made them hesitate for a moment.

And this moment of hesitation was enough for Xiao Ting. He directly raised his hands and clapped: ”Everyone, before you suppress Han Feng, weigh whether it is worth it. I am not fighting alone.”

Crack!

A seven-colored light flew out from Xiao Ting’s sleeve. The inch-sized Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python rapidly grew larger, and following a flash of light, it transformed into Medusa, wearing a red dress. She stepped on the void, releasing the aura of a two-star Dou Zong, shaking the space around them.

”The barrier is complete. It took quite a bit of effort.”

Medusa placed one hand on her hip and pointed a finger toward the sky with the other.

The next moment, a seven-colored beam of light shot up into the sky. After rising about three hundred zhang, it touched a certain node, and an energy shield of seven colors appeared, covering a radius of three miles.

This was another reason why Xiao Ting had been talking nonsense with Han Feng: to give Cai Li time to set up the energy barrier, effectively sealing the space and making it difficult for Han Feng to leave.

”If you want to help Han Feng, you first need to break the Dou Zong-level energy barrier set by my partner. It’s hard to say how difficult that will be, but participating means offending me. I hope you are not afraid of me coming to your doorstep with my partner.”

Xiao Ting’s eyes narrowed, and an aura far exceeding that of a Dou Wang spread out.

Yun Yun had been recovering after consuming a pill for quite some time. She held her sword and flew high into the sky, also releasing the aura of a Peak Dou Huang, like a sharp sword capable of tearing the sky apart.

Standing before everyone now was a two-star Dou Zong expert who was a transformed Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, a Peak Dou Huang sword cultivator known for her powerful combat ability, and a peak Dou Wang peerless genius who had almost killed the Gold and Silver Elders single-handedly.

For the sake of the pill refinement opportunity promised by Han Feng, were they really going to go up against these three!?

The decision seemed not hard to make.

”I, Su Mei, disdain to cooperate with a fool who betrayed his teacher, even if it is an opportunity for a Sixth-Rank Alchemist to refine pills!” Su Mei, the leader of the Rakshasa Sect and a four-star Dou Huang, appeared and was the first to state her position.

She was a smart woman. Since she didn’t intend to agree with Han Feng, and seeing that Han Feng was likely in grave danger this time, it was better to stand on Xiao Ting’s side instead.

With Xiao Ting’s appearance and temperament, and his seemingly very young but terrifying cultivation and combat talent, as long as he didn’t fall midway, he would inevitably be a renowned expert on the continent in the future.

She could not miss the opportunity to befriend such a genius.

The other faction leaders who could take root in the Black-Corner Region were not fools either.

As soon as Su Mei spoke, the previously wavering leader of the Mad Lion Gang, Tie Wu, and the Sect Leader of the Heaven Yin Sect, Old Man Yin Gu, also followed suit and stated their positions; they were also four-star Dou Zongs.

There was also the leader of the Black Emperor Sect, the four-star Dou Zong Mo Tianxing, who stated that their auction house would not involve itself in any personal Dou Zong conflicts.

The leader of the Blood Sect, Fan Lao, who had originally wanted to help Han Feng, found it difficult to state his position for a moment.

”I am very grateful to everyone for giving me, Xiao Ting, face.” Xiao Ting smiled and took out a Tier 4 Alchemist badge, saying, ”This badge is already outdated. Actually, I am a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, and it won’t be long before I break through to the Sixth-Rank. It won’t take long to reach the Seventh-Rank in the future either.”

”What Han Feng can give you, I can give you.”

”What he cannot give you, I can also give you.”

Hiss!

When Xiao Ting revealed his identity as an Alchemist, everyone showed expressions of shock.

A person with such powerful cultivation and combat talent was actually an Alchemist as well.

And... his talent as an Alchemist was also extremely terrifying.

Following this, Su Mei and the others felt very pleasantly surprised; they had really bet on the right person.

Only Fan Lao and Yan, who hadn’t stated their positions, felt some regret, but they also immediately drew a clear line between themselves and Han Feng.

Regarding this, Xiao Ting ignored them. Statements made at different times were different, and naturally, the outcomes would be different as well.

Revealing his identity was just to end this standoff once and for all.

”Xiao Ting!” Han Feng’s eyes were splitting, and his tone was filled with killing intent.

He deeply regretted standing up for the Gold and Silver Elders, ending up in this current situation.

But now, his heart was filled mostly with killing intent toward Xiao Ting.

”Don’t think you have won.” Han Feng took out a jade slip and crushed it forcefully: ”I still have helpers.”
