That vicious-looking burly man was also at Qi Refining Seventh Layer, and even at the peak of Qi Refining Seventh Layer, but now?
He got slapped by Blue Whale with a single palm and was directly plastered into the wall! What the hell is that!?
They weren't even on the sa level at all!
"Now this is what you call really kicking an iron plate." Only now did everyone co back to their senses, staring at Chen Fei and the others with awe. So this was the real iron plate, and the kind that could snap your legs if you kicked it.
That guy whose mind had been clouded by greed had provoked the wrong people right from the start.
"You still want to continue?" Seeing this, Chen Fei shook his head with a smile, glanced at the remaining four Qi Refining Seventh Layer experts, and asked.
The four of them hurriedly shook their heads in unison, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.
At first, they really had been blinded by greed, but now they'd been "beaten awake" in an instant—still dare my ass.
"Good then, bye-bye." Chen Fei smiled, turned around, and left, leading Cang Kun, Blue Whale, and the others away at a leisurely pace.
Watching their departing backs, those four Qi Refining Seventh Layer experts all ground their teeth, seething with hatred! Yet the others were both envious and full of admiration.
If it had been them instead, why didn't they discover the secret inside that rock!?
Not only that, they were also looking at those four Qi Refining Seventh Layer experts with a gloating, mocking gaze.
Those piercing looks made the four's faces flush red, both ashad and furious.
Then they could only slink away with that blood‑soaked, unconscious vicious brute, leaving behind a whole street of laughter and jeers.
One person might not dare provoke them, might not dare laugh at them—but a whole streetful of people, you think they wouldn't dare?
Hahaha, hahahaha…
...
At the sa ti, on the other side of the Azure Dragon Ravine street, Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, was also just leaving Duanmu Mansion.
"Their aura actually vanished?" When he followed the trail to where Chen Fei and the others had left, he found that all traces of their auras had completely disappeared. His face changed slightly, and then he could only shake his head helplessly.
"This is trouble now." He could only give a bitter laugh and mutter to himself. Azure Dragon Ravine was such a huge place, and he was only one man—trying to find soone here like a needle in the sea would be difficult, to say the least.
But just as he was about to leave and once more search for Chen Fei and the others' tracks elsewhere, he suddenly heard a surprised voice from off to the side: "Huh, aren't you… Yand Zhou, Brother Yand!?"
Hearing that, Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected that in this unfamiliar region thousands of miles away, soone would still recognize him—and even address him as Brother Yand?
He turned his head toward the voice and saw, a few ters away at a corner of the street, an old man in his fifties or sixties with a slightly bald head, staring at him in sheer surprise and astonishnt.
"It really is you, Brother Yand. How co you're here in our Eagle Gorge?" The old man, seeing it was truly Yan Zhou, spoke with imnse surprise.
"So it's you, Yuan Qing, Master Yuan." Once Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, clearly saw the bald old man's face, a trace of emotion also flashed across his eyes.
As it turned out, Yuan Qing had once been invited to their region to attend a banquet at the manor of a renowned Alchemist there and to discuss Alchemy Technique.
At that ti, Yan Zhou had happened to go to that manor in admiration as well, so he had t Yuan Qing and had so acquaintance with him.
He had even invited Yuan Qing to take a look at his younger brother's illness, but unfortunately, Yuan Qing had been powerless.
Thinking of this, Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, braced himself a bit and warmly said to Yuan Qing, "Master Yuan, it really has been a long ti. How have you been lately?"
Even with his identity and strength, when facing a Half-Step Fourth Grade Immortal Pill Master, he still couldn't bring himself to act indifferent.
This, too, was the allure of the Alchemist profession!
"I'm doing all right, it's just that my Alchemy realm has been stuck and refuses to budge. Sigh… But what about you, Brother Yand, what brings you all the way to our Eagle Gorge?" Yuan Qing, Master Yuan, asked.
"Sigh, I ca over because of so private matter." Hearing this, Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, darkened his gaze and shook his head in so dejection.
"Is it because of your younger brother's situation? Has there been any improvent in the poison on your brother?" Yuan Qing, Master Yuan, was slightly taken aback, then his tone grew a bit more solemn.
Yan Zhou and Yand Zheng, those two brothers, were occasionally heard of even in their Eagle Gorge as Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm Experts! More importantly, they were upright in character and acted with integrity. It was just a pity that the younger brother, Yand Zheng, ran into that incident…
"Sigh, it's still the sa as before—no, even worse now."
As soon as Yuan Qing touched on this wound in his heart, the rough features of Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, reddened around the eyes. He shook his head hard and said gloomily.
"Even worse?" Yuan Qing was slightly stunned by that, but then, as if it was only natural, he nodded and sighed. "Sigh, your brother was wounded by the Thousand Cranes Demon King Clan's innate venom. Ordinary Alchemists are completely helpless against it…"
But as he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Wait, I think I might have a way!"
"Really!?" Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, widened his tiger eyes, his whole body trembling as he spoke in excitent.
"No, that's not it, it's not that I have a solution. It's that I know soone who definitely will have a solution." Seeing Yan Zhou so worked up, Yuan Qing Master hurriedly made himself clearer.
"Oh? Who is it? Master Yuan, please tell ." The Iron Lion spoke in a rush, both hands grabbing Yuan Qing by the shoulders.
"Brother Yand, calm down first." Yuan Qing's face twisted from the slap Yan Zhou gave him. He spoke, a bit in pain.
Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, was a Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm Expert, but Yuan Qing was not!
"S-sorry, my apologies, I got too excited. I'm sorry, Master Yuan." Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, imdiately started apologizing, his attitude completely different from how he'd treated Chen Fei earlier.
"It's fine, I can understand."
Yuan Qing Master rolled his shoulder a bit, then his expression turned solemn as he said seriously, "Brother Yand, these past few days, a very, very, very powerful Alchemy Master has co to our Azure Dragon Ravine!"
"Really?" The mont Yan Zhou heard that Yuan Qing actually used three 'very powerful' in a row, his heart started pounding wildly, filled with hope, and he said, "I wonder which Grandmaster has personally co here?"
"I don't know him." Yet that was what Yuan Qing Master said in response.
"You don't know him?" Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, froze on the spot when he heard that.
As a Half-Step Fourth Grade Immortal Pill Master, Yuan Qing was only half a step away from that realm. By rights, that already counted as quite famous, with a very wide circle of acquaintances, spreading through more than half the territory under Ghost Wolf City! But, but now…
But now he was actually saying he didn't know the other party!?
"That's right, I don't know him, but he personally refined a furnace of Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pill right in front of !" Yuan Qing Master said slowly.
"Hiss! What, a Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pill!?" Hearing that, Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion's expression changed on the spot. He sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.
All these years, for the Thousand Cranes Demon King Clan's Innate Poison on his younger brother, he'd practically dealt with Alchemists to the bitter end! So of course he understood what it ant for an Alchemist to be able to refine a Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pill!
Whiz!
Right after, Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, suddenly grabbed Yuan Qing's sleeve in excitent, his face flushed as he said, "Master Yuan, wh-where is that Grandmaster you ntioned? Could you take to see him, just once, please!"
"Brother Yand, calm down first. That Grandmaster is still in our Azure Dragon Ravine right now, but because a bit of a misunderstanding happened between us just yesterday, I'm in a bit of an awkward position, and I don't dare rashly go disturb him."
Yuan Qing Master spoke with so helplessness. Then he grit his teeth and said, "How about this, let's wait two more days. In three days, when that Grandmaster's knot in his heart has almost loosened, I'll take you to see him."
"Th-then… alright. Thank you, Master Yuan." Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion's expression flickered several tis at those words, but in the end he still didn't dare force the other party to take him there. He let out a helpless sigh as he spoke.
Indeed, he truly didn't dare! Before a Grandmaster who could refine a Low Grade Third-Level Five-Silver Patterned Pill, Yan Zhou didn't even have the qualifications to put on an attitude!
Because at that level, it was likely that at least a Fourth Grade Alchemist and above would be needed to refine that kind of supre treasure pill!?
What it ant to be a Fourth Grade Alchemist and above no longer needed any pointless words to explain.
Never mind that his Cultivation Realm was currently at the Peak of First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm, even experts at the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm probably wouldn't dare be rude to a Fourth Grade Alchemist!
Because an existence like that was like a hornet's nest—poke it and it explodes! Not soone you could afford to offend.
"Brother Yand, don't worry. As long as that Grandmaster is willing to make a move, I think that even the Thousand Cranes Demon King Clan's Innate Poison definitely won't be able to stump him."
Yuan Qing Master patted Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion's shoulder, smiled, and said, "Co on, Brother Yand, it's rare for you to co to our Azure Dragon Ravine. Let host you and do my duty as the local. Let's go get a al."
"...Alright then. Master Yuan, truly, thank you." Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, hesitated for a mont, but in the end he didn't refuse.
Originally, he had still been thinking about Chen Fei, but now he'd almost forgotten about that completely.
Perhaps he'd never really intended to take Chen Fei seriously in the first place? He just didn't want to miss any shred of hope.
"Brother Yand, you're being too polite. After all, I can only be responsible for the introduction. As for how things turn out specifically, that'll still depend on you." Master Yuan shook his head, his expression turning slightly serious.
Hearing that, Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion's eyes narrowed.
"Master Yuan, don't worry, I know what I should do." He then took a deep breath and spoke.
At the sa ti, Chen Fei and the others arrived at the largest restaurant in Azure Dragon Ravine—the Drunken Flower Pavilion.
...
"Master Chen, this is the largest restaurant in Azure Dragon Ravine, the Drunken Flower Pavilion! They have a kind of wine here called 'Ice Pure Liquid', extrely, ridiculously expensive—one small bottle costs a hundred pieces of Low Grade Spirit Stone—yet it's still in short supply and incredibly famous."
Standing beneath a grand, imposing, bustling six-story restaurant, Quann Zhenyi looked at the lively scene inside and spoke with so excitent.
