Alchemist Gu He, has been refining Immortal Pills for various immortals in Ice Emperor City for over a century, and has gained significant fa there. After the news spread that he was slain by Fang Bai, many immortals in Ice Emperor City were shocked.
Moreover, many immortals knew that Gu He would annually tribute a portion of the cultivation resources he acquired from alchemy to Ice Emperor City, thus receiving its protection.
With Ice Emperor City Lord Mansion as his backing, Gu He dared to openly act without restraint in the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market, oppressing and suppressing other peers.
After Gu He was slain by Fang Bai, the eyes of those immortals turned towards the City Lord Mansion, curious about how its higher-ups would react.
The majority of immortals believed that Fang Bai’s alchemy technique was far superior to Gu He’s, and his potential in various aspects was incomparable to Gu He’s. Thus, after weighing the pros and cons, the City Lord Mansion would likely not hold Fang Bai accountable, and more probably would attempt to recruit him.
However, a Deputy City Lord from the City Lord Mansion had previously visited Fang Bai to express an intention to recruit, but Fang Bai declined. Whether Fang Bai would agree if the City Lord Mansion extended goodwill again was uncertain.
Yet, many immortals, after analyzing, felt Fang Bai might agree this ti.
After all, the patience of the City Lord Mansion is limited; not only did Fang Bai reject their first recruitnt attempt, he also slew Gu He, who had been tributing cultivation resources to them. If he still refuses to beco a tribute of the City Lord Mansion this ti, he would be seen as unappreciative, and the City Lord Mansion may turn against him.
If Fang Bai were an Immortal King, he could still be tough with the City Lord Mansion, but he is rely a Fourth-Grade Immortal Venerable. Even with the titles of Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, he can’t afford to offend the cloud of experts in the City Lord Mansion.
"Alchemist Fang, why not simply co with to Phoenix City! My master is the Phoenix City Lord, who can offer all kinds of conveniences for alchemy and artifact refining there, and will never force you to do anything you dislike!"
One day, Chiyu Immortal Venerable found Fang Bai and said to him.
Recently, Chiyu Immortal Venerable frequently visited Fang Bai, often asking him to help refine Immortal Pills. Over ti, they beca quite familiar.
As a disciple of the Phoenix City Lord Mansion, Chiyu Immortal Venerable feared not the Ice Emperor City Lord Mansion. He felt Fang Bai was an extraordinary talent in the Immortal Realm, better to bring him to Phoenix City, and then appeal to emotions and reason; perhaps convincing him to join Phoenix City.
In response, Fang Bai politely declined.
Chiyu Immortal Venerable did not lose heart, continuing to visit frequently, persistently persuading Fang Bai.
Xiao Ping was extrely happy in recent days, feeling that she hasn’t been this happy since her parents’ demise.
Because Fang Bai had paid her part of her remuneration in advance, an amount she couldn’t have imagined before.
Moreover, Fang Bai gifted Xiao Ping several bottles of Immortal Pills, upgraded her existing Immortal Artifact, and even taught her a set of Immortal Technique Secrets said to suit her cultivation well.
The Immortal Pills were of Immortal Venerable grade, the Immortal Artifact as well, and as for the Immortal Technique Secrets, Fang Bai didn’t ntion the grade, but Xiao Ping knew they must be extraordinary.
Immortal Venerable grade Immortal Pills, Immortal Artifacts, and Immortal Technique Secrets may an little to an Immortal Venerable Realm Expert, but to Xiao Ping, who only reached Fifth-Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm, they were dreamlike desires.
Plus, Fang Bai said, not only would there be more cultivation resources for her in the future, but if he had ti, he would also offer her guidance.
With the cultivation resources provided by Fang Bai and his guidance, Xiao Ping felt her cultivation level could soon break through, increasing her hope of avenging her parents.
Thus, Xiao Ping’s heart was full of gratitude towards Fang Bai, feeling he was the kindest immortal in the entire Immortal Realm.
"It’s the immortals from the City Lord Mansion!"
"The leading one seems to be Deputy City Lord Wild Lion Immortal!"
"It was he who visited Alchemist Fang last ti!"
"He must be here because of Gu He, right?"
"I think he’s more likely here to recruit Alchemist Fang again!"
"What do you think, if Alchemist Fang refuses the City Lord Mansion’s recruitnt again, what would be the consequences?"
"It’s hard to say, let’s just wait and see!"
...
That day, Fang Bai was busy refining Immortal Pills and Artifact Refining for immortals in the Pill Room, when several imposing immortals ca striding from afar. The immortals queued in front of Fang Bai’s stall whispered in low voices upon seeing them, with a look of reverence in their eyes.
Especially the leading immortal, with eyes like tigers, wide mouth, and sturdy build, walking with a gust of wind, his hair and beard thick like a lion.
Almost all immortals on site recognized this sturdy immortal, knowing he was one of the two Deputy City Lords of Ice Emperor City Lord Mansion, titled Wild Lion Immortal, with a Half-Step Immortal King Realm cultivation.
Those unfamiliar with Wild Lion Immortal might see him as a bold and generous immortal, but those who truly understood him knew he was narrow-minded, harboring grudges.
"Everyone move aside! I have matters to discuss with Alchemist Fang! Anyone blocking the way will taste my punch!"
Wild Lion Immortal surged forth, reaching Fang Bai’s stall, seeing many immortals around it, his face darkened, shouting fiercely.
His voice was like thunder, the sound wave spread, space trembled, and the immortals present felt dizzy, barely standing.
For Wild Lion Immortal’s savage and domineering act, every immortal was internally displeased, but they dared not provoke the bad-tempered, vengeful Deputy City Lord of Ice Emperor City, thus backed away, staying far.
Xiao Ping, being too weak, was internally injured by Wild Lion Immortal’s shout, a stream of blood seeped from her mouth corner, yet she refused to retreat, seeing Wild Lion Immortal intending to cross the stall, intrude Fang Bai’s Pill Room, imdiately spread her arms, blocking his path.
"Alchemist Fang is refining pills, if you have matters, you can tell , and I will convey to Alchemist Fang afterwards!"
Xiao Ping had seen Wild Lion Immortal once, knowing his identity, at this mont facing him, saying not fearing him would be false, but thinking of Fang Bai’s kindness, she mustered the courage to block his path.
"You little fairy, dare block my way? Courting death?"
Wild Lion Immortal glared with tiger eyes, prepared to unleash immortal might, wishing Xiao Ping great suffering.
"Stop!"
At this mont, the Pill Room door opened, Fang Bai walked out expressionless.
"Swallow this Healing Pill and recuperate behind ."
Fang Bai seeing Xiao Ping injured, flicked a Healing Pill to her, then coldly gazed at Wild Lion Immortal, said: "Not sure why Wild Lion Immortal visits, what business do you have?"
Wild Lion Immortal chuckled, then solemnly stated: "Alchemist Fang, our City Lord sincerely invites you to join the City Lord Mansion as a tribute. Agree or not, please reconsider!"
