The guardian families of the Yanlan Empire have always been closely connected, though there have been minor conflicts and competitions in private, such words have never been uttered in such public settings.
The resolute attitude of Qing Kong made everyone in the Zhan Family extrely surprised.
"Isn't that soone from the Zhan Family? What are so many of them doing here!"
"Even the current head of the Zhan Family is here, who could have attracted them?"
"Oh my! That's Mr. Qing Kong! Our Yanlan Empire's Guardian, how did those two sides end up confronting each other?"
"And there's the Third Princess! These big shots are usually hard to co by, what's happening today? Why did they all co to Qing Yun Pavilion? And who is that person? They look unfamiliar!"
When the Agate Dragon Essence box was opened earlier, it attracted quite so attention, and now with the presence of the aura of two Divine Cultivator level experts, it made everyone even more curious; such lively events were quite rare.
"Brother, you ca early, what exactly happened here?"
"Haven't you heard? Sothing seems to have happened to the old man from the Zhan Family. Master Yun couldn't do anything about it, and it seems the masked young man over there might have a way to save the old man from the Zhan Family, it seems the Zhan Family ca to snatch a person."
"It looked like the people from the Zhan Family were about to take action by force just now, then Mr. Qing Kong appeared, he seems to be siding with this young man. We're not really clear about the specifics, we didn't dare to get close and listen well."
"Who is this person, who managed to get so many people on the verge of conflict, could he really be so kind of master!"
More and more people gathered around, and it seed like almost everyone from outside ca in to watch the commotion after hearing about it.
"Still planning to take action?" Qing Kong looked at Zhan Xun and asked, "I'd like to see if you've made any progress over the years, young man!"
Zhan Xun certainly didn't dare to make a move, even with a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare!
Even if he were brave enough, he wasn't a match for Qing Kong; the gap between a Half-Step Divine Cultivator and soone like Qing Kong at the Divine Cultivator's Third Realm was as wide as the sky and earth, with not even a bit of qualification to engage.
"Not planning to fight, huh? Then leave!"
Deep down, Qing Kong hoped that the old man from the Zhan Family could survive, but he didn't dare plead under the risk of offending everyone on the world's grand stage; Zhang nglong was clearly in a bad mood, and whoever advised him would face dire consequences. Qing Kong wouldn't risk drawing this ire.
Moreover, soone like Zhang nglong wouldn't idly engage with the Zhan Family people for no reason, his willingness to et them here naturally represented his willingness to help treat the old man from the Zhan Family's fire poison.
It's just that those brats really didn't know their place, being rude to him. As long as they corrected their attitude, Zhang nglong would likely be willing to make a move, so Qing Kong wasn't particularly anxious.
"Mr. Qing Kong, thank you for specially coming!" Zhang nglong raised the cup in his hand towards Qing Kong.
"No trouble at all," Qing Kong downed his drink in one gulp, assisting a master is my honor.
Getting more chances to interact with a master like Zhang nglong, Qing Kong was eager to do so.
"This is just a token of my appreciation," Zhang nglong handed over a brocade box.
"What is this?" Qing Kong opened the box, inside was a blue elixir, its surface adorned with starlike spots of light, even a faint mist surrounding its edges like the rings of a planet, the aura emanating from this elixir made Qing Kong feel entirely refreshed!
"What a beautiful elixir!" Lan Xin was quite surprised upon seeing the elixir, she had never seen sothing like an art piece before, anyone would be reluctant to swallow it.
"Nothing much, just conjured up for fun," Zhang nglong replied with a smile, "I sensed Mr. Qing Kong seems to have so imbalance between two forces within, harming so of your ridians; this isn't a good thing for your cultivation. This elixir should help you!"
"This… this is too precious!" Qing Kong was certainly aware of such problems within himself.
Having two Divine Veins was certainly a good thing. However, likewise, if cultivation was done improperly, it's like a ticking ti bomb within one's body.
In his younger years, Qing Kong rushed cultivation which negatively affected his body; although it hadn't worsened over the years, it stalled his realm at the Divine Cultivator's Third Grade Peak for a long ti.
Furthermore, these two forces occasionally caused explosive reactions, not as severe as the old man from the Zhan Family, but sotis he experienced symptoms like feeling hot and cold; generally tolerable, yet during critical monts, such ailnts would be deadly.
He had sought help from many people, including Master Yun who worked for the Yanlan Empire, but none could cure his chronic disease; at least a Seventh Grade elixir was needed to alleviate these symptoms, and to completely cure them, at least Ninth Grade!
Just inhaling a couple of breaths of the elixir's aroma, he felt the mild burning and chilling sensations within him were completely suppressed.
Previously he suspected Zhang nglong was an Alchemist, now his identity was practically confird.
Elixirs of at least Ninth Grade, casually concocted; if seriously crafted, couldn't he potentially create a Saint Grade Elixir?
Good heavens! How could anyone at such a young age simultaneously hold identities as a Saint Grade Alchemist and Saint Grade Artifact Refiner, what kind of monster is this!
"Nothing precious," Zhang nglong laughed, "Fair deal, you spend the day as my bodyguard, I obviously need to pay, but speaking of money… just too heartless!"
Qing Kong's hands trembled a bit; is this sothing money could buy? He previously offered 20 billion Divine Crystals, yet this task was unanswered, and unexpectedly, just lending a hand today fulfilled his long-cherished wish!
Oh lord!
Happiness ca quite suddenly, didn't it?
...
Compared to Qing Kong, the Zhan Family was now walking on thin ice; if they still doubted Zhang nglong's abilities, it wouldn't be skepticism towards Zhang nglong, but rather against Qing Kong. Would Qing Kong stand against the Zhan Family if Zhang nglong didn't have such skills?
Only if he was out of his mind, right?
"Father, this Zhang… Master…"
"This person indeed seems capable!" Zhan Xun comnted, "Otherwise, why would Qing Kong be so respectful to him? The matter of the Saint Grade weapon, very likely true!"
"A youngster being a Saint Grade Artifact Refiner…"
"What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Hurry and check if our Zhan Family has anything valuable! Clearly, he can just leave if he wants, yet he's still sitting there drinking tea; obviously giving our Zhan Family a way out, if we still fail to grasp it, that's just clueless! Let's be sensible, okay?"
