After returning to the Elixir Sect.
Xu Wendong found Xia Hou imdiately and told him about Chen Xi, also ntioning that he had brought Chen Xi back to the mountain.
Xia Hou heard and laughed, "You don’t need to worry about this matter. Although the Pri Minister’s Mansion controls Qingzhou completely, you are a rare alchemy talent in our Elixir Sect and the entire Nine Provinces. Rest assured, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly."
Xia Hou did not deny the influence of the Pri Minister’s Mansion.
But even though the Pri Minister’s Mansion holds great power, it’s limited to Qingzhou.
Xu Wendong, on the other hand, can benefit many cultivators.
Not to ntion, Xu Wendong also owns the Golden Crow Furnace.
Whether for public or private reasons, he would resist the Pri Minister’s Mansion for Xu Wendong.
Xia Hou chuckled and said, "Sect Leader, there is half a month until the Four Great Sects Competition, I’ll trouble you to refine so Qi Replenishing Pills during this ti to ensure that our Elixir Sect achieves excellent results."
"Sure!"
Xu Wendong readily agreed.
Refining Qi Replenishing Pills was extrely easy for him.
------
Three days later.
Mingyue City.
Nine giant Blue Hawks appeared in the sky over Mingyue City, each over ten ters long, with wings spanning more than twenty ters, emitting a sky-blue glow all over.
Seeing this scene, countless residents of Mingyue City felt a trendous pressure, knowing that the Azure Feather Hawk is the emblem of the Pri Minister’s Mansion.
However, no one expected people from the Pri Minister’s Mansion to appear in Mingyue City.
"The young lady of the Chen Escort Agency, Miss Chen Xi, where are you?" A dignified voice ca from mid-air, belonging to an elder with crane-like hair and youthful features, wearing a black brocade robe.
His na was Duanmu Jin, the butler of the Pri Minister’s Mansion.
Possessing the sixth level of Golden Core Stage cultivation.
"Greetings, senior!" Chen Zhen, with a waxy complexion and being supported, walked into the courtyard, respectfully looking up at the figure in the sky, nervously saying, "My daughter was taken by the disciple Xu Wendong from the Elixir Sect!"
Duanmu Jin’s deep eyes flashed with a cold light: "Why did the Elixir Sect disciple abduct Miss Chen?"
Chen Zhen subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling: "He was taken by my daughter’s beauty and wants her to beco his woman!"
"How brazen!" A thunderous shout echoed through the sky: "Does he not know Miss Chen is about to marry our Young Master?"
Chen Zhen fearfully said: "Xu Wendong and my daughter have known each other for a long ti. Before I could ntion my daughter is about to marry into the Pri Minister’s Mansion, he injured and abducted my daughter!"
Having road the world for years, saying Chen Zhen is astute is an understatent; otherwise, he could not have elevated the Chen Escort Agency.
Hence, he knew how to speak.
Duanmu Jin snorted heavily: "I want to see if this fellow nad Xu Wendong has eaten a bear’s heart and leopard’s courage!"
With a flap of their wings, the nine Azure Feather Hawks instantly vanished into the sky over Mingyue City.
He planned to visit the Elixir Sect to demand justice.
Half an hour later.
Duanmu Jin arrived at the Elixir Sect with his n.
"For what esteed reason has Dao Friend Duanmu co to our Elixir Sect?" Xia Hou flew into the sky imdiately, wearing a faint smile.
Duanmu Jin showed no emotion: "Sect Leader Xia, is there a disciple nad Xu Wendong in your Elixir Sect?"
"Hmm?" Xia Hou slightly frowned and couldn’t help but ask, "The nobles of the Imperial City have also learned of Xu Wendong’s ability?"
"Ah!"
"Indeed, an exceptional existence simply cannot hide its brilliance!"
Duanmu Jin was about to get angry but then realized Xia Hou’s words had an underlying aning, prompting him to ask: "What ability does Sect Leader Xia speak of?"
Xia Hou looked surprised and said: "Dao Friend Duanmu doesn’t know Xu Wendong is an alchemy prodigy capable of refining Supre Foundation Building Pills?"
"What?" Duanmu Jin’s heart trembled fiercely.
Though he had long passed the stage of using Foundation Establishnt Pills, he still knew that looking across the entire Elixir Sect, only Xia Hou could refine a Foundation Establishnt Pill with five-pattern pill patterns.
However.
There is a four-pattern gap between a supre Foundation Establishnt and a five-pattern pill!
But even if he hadn’t refined the Supre Building Foundation Pill, he had beco the Imperial Alchemist.
And now Xu Wendong has indeed refined the Supre Foundation Building Pill, which shows his alchemical achievents and talent.
Even if he truly robbed the Young Master’s concubine, what can they do?
Destroy this alchemical prodigy?
If that is indeed the case, the demise of the Duanmu family would be inevitable.
Xia Hou knowingly asked: "It seems Dao Friend Duanmu is unaware of Xu Wendong’s situation. If so, what is the purpose of your visit?"
Duanmu Jin cald his mind and his tone beca more courteous as he said: "To not hide from Sect Leader Xia, the old one ca with a request to consult Young Master Xu."
"Dao Friend Duanmu, please wait a mont, I will summon Xu Wendong out!" Xia Hou said, then soul communicated with Xu Wendong.
Monts later.
Xu Wendong, wearing a white brocade robe, walked out from within the mountain with one hand behind him; he possessed an aura of majesty that exuded an air of unrivaled superiority.
Duanmu Jin’s heart jolted, silently exclaiming, "What a dragon among n, truly extraordinary!"
"I wonder why the Sect Leader called the disciple here?" Xu Wendong slightly bowed and politely asked.
Xia Hou cleared his throat and said, "This is the butler of the Pri Minister’s Mansion, Dao Friend Duanmu. He ntioned he has a matter to consult you on!"
Xu Wendong looked at Duanmu Jin, politely said: "I wonder what business the senior has with the junior?"
Duanmu Jin smiled faintly and calmly asked: "Young friend, did you abduct a mortal girl?"
Xu Wendong replied displeased: "I and Miss Chen are mutually affectionate, how can that be considered an abduction?"
Duanmu Jin’s smile remained: "Miss Chen was supposed to marry into the Pri Minister’s Mansion today."
"What?" Xu Wendong’s expression changed dramatically: "Could there be such a thing?"
Xia Hou’s voice sounded: "Dao Friend Duanmu, there must be so misunderstanding in this matter. Xu Wendong certainly didn’t know beforehand, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought that mortal girl into the Elixir Sect."
"However, this matter is indeed an oversight of ours. To make ands, I will personally help the Pri Minister refine two Spirit-awakening Pills for free."
Spirit-awakening Pills, a miraculous elixir that nurtures the Divine Soul, even if one cannot undergo Golden Core to Nascent Soul transformation, it can extend life by decades.
Duanmu Jin said: "Though it’s a misunderstanding, the news of my family’s Young Master marrying Miss Chen has already spread far and wide; if the old one cannot bring Miss Chen back today, we will be ridiculed by everyone!"
"As for Sect Leader Xia’s goodwill···"
"Why not let Young Friend Chen help my master refine two pills, and this matter will be written off!"
Though Xia Hou is the best alchemist in the Nine Provinces, many desire him to refine pills for them.
But now.
Clearly, Xu Wendong’s skills are more outstanding.
Precisely because of this, he decided to have Xu Wendong refine two Spirit-awakening Pills.
Xu Wendong said: "Senior, indeed the junior can refine Spirit-awakening Pills, but the success rate is only one percent!"
Beside him, Xia Hou nearly spit out a mouthful of blood.
You abducted the Pri Minister’s daughter-in-law and now intend to heavily extort the Pri Minister?
Are you sure your conscience won’t hurt?
