The Ultimate Playboy Novel - Chapter 1569
Chapter 1569 Leave Pill City
Facing the invitations of the crowd, Qin Feng did not agree to any of them.
He had already pulled Zhuo Xiaoyue to the corner of the hall to rest.
“Young Hero Qin, those people seem to be uneasy and kind-hearted.” Seeing that there were fewer people, Zhuo Xiaoyue hurriedly reminded Qin Feng.
Qin Feng smiled and said, “Sister Yue, don’t worry. I’ve already seen that those people are all here for my Purple Nether Flame. If I go back with them, I will be swallowed to the point that not even bones are left …”
Zhuo Xiaoyue’s expression changed drastically as she anxiously said, “Ah? Then, what should we do? Let’s quickly leave this place.”
Qin Feng hugged Zhuo Xiaoyue’s shoulder and patted her to comfort her, “Sister Yue, don’t be anxious. If we leave the Pill Gathering now, we will be captured immediately. On the contrary, in the Pill Gathering, these people still have some misgivings about not daring to make a move.”
After some analysis, Zhuo Xiaoyue suddenly came to a realization. She glanced at Qin Feng. She did not expect Qin Feng to be younger, but his intelligence was even deeper than hers.
Just as Qin Feng had guessed, the thousands of people in the hall were secretly staring at his every move. Qin Feng hugged Zhuo Xiaoyue and leaned against the stone chair to rest, as if he was fine.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The pill master examination had already come to an end. However, none of the disciples who had participated in the exam had the intention to leave. They gathered in the hall and pretended to be chatting.
At this time, the last batch of disciples who had completed the examination walked out of the Pill Refining Pavilion.
Along with them were Elder Xu and the other four judges.
When Elder Xu came out, his expression changed slightly. He only glanced at the people who were still in the Pill Assembly Hall and guessed the situation in his heart.
Wherever Elder Xu went, the crowd immediately gave way to a golden path. He walked steadily and finally stopped in front of Qin Feng.
“Young Hero Qin, you haven’t left yet … on behalf of Square Building, I invite you and your wife to be my guests. Do you have time, Young Hero Qin?”
Everyone cried out in shock. They didn’t expect Elder Xu, a senior of such status, to actually take the initiative to invite Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was waiting for Elder Xu. He could tell that this old man was righteous. Even though he saw his Purple Nether Flame in the Pill Refining Pavilion, he was still shocked and surprised. There was no greedy light in his eyes.
“Elder Xu is serious. This junior is here to wait for Elder Xu!”
Elder Xu nodded, his heart filled with admiration for Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was only in his early twenties, but he had a deep understanding of the situation. He also knew how to break the situation. He was a rare genius youth.
Under the leadership of Elder Xu, Qin Feng and the other two had already left the Pill Gathering.
A group of people immediately followed them out of the gate, but no one dared to follow them. That was provoking Elder Xu and Square Building’s dignity.
Ten minutes later.
The three of them arrived at a majestic three-storey building. This was a branch of Square Building’s Pill Workshop in Pill City. As for Elder Xu not going directly to the main pill shop in Square Building, Qin Feng was puzzled.
Sitting in the small tea room on the third floor, Elder Xu didn’t show any mercy and directly said, “Qin Feng, your pill refining skills amazed me. Those four Consciousness Gathering Pills are all high-grade. They can be produced in half an hour. Even I don’t think I can do it …”
‘”As for pill refining, it is difficult to become a great artifact just by relying on your own comprehension. You have reached this level at such a young age. There must be a master teacher guiding you, right? Why don’t you say it out loud? I might even know you.”
Elder Xu had asked Qin Feng in the Pill Assembly’s Pill Refining Pavilion. At that time, Qin Feng said that he did not have Master’s guidance. Obviously, Elder Xu did not believe him.
However, Qin Feng really did not have his master’s teachings, “Elder Xu, to be honest with you, this junior is truly a self-taught genius.”
Elder Xu was stunned and looked at Qin Feng in surprise.
He thought to himself, since Qin Feng had already returned with him, why would he lie again? Very quickly, Elder Xu’s expression changed greatly. He realized another possibility. Could it be that Qin Feng really didn’t have his master to teach him?
“If that’s the case, are you willing to be my disciple?” Elder Xu’s eyes suddenly burned. Qin Feng’s pill refining skill and talent far surpassed his beloved apprentice Xu Baizhen’s.
This time, it was Qin Feng’s turn to be stunned. He hadn’t expected Elder Xu to bring up this matter.
Zhuo Xiaoyue was even more shocked. That was Square Building, one of Elder Xu’s main alchemists. He was famous throughout Beisha Continent. If he could become his disciple, Qin Feng could be considered half a step into Beisha Continent’s martial arts circle.
“Young Hero Qin, Senior Xu is upright and respected by many of our juniors. Why don’t you take him as your master?”
Zhuo Xiaoyue immediately tried to persuade Qin Feng. Not long ago, Lu Yunqing from Danbao Pavilion also wanted to subdue him, but he refused. Zhuo Xiaoyue was deeply afraid that Qin Feng would reject Elder Xu.
The reason why Qin Feng rejected Lu Yunqing was because he didn’t like Danbao Pavilion and Lu Yunqing. However, Qin Feng was optimistic about Elder Xu’s character. However, he had only taken Elder Xu as his master to seek a layer of protection. As for his pill refining skills, Qin Feng felt that he was on par with Elder Xu.
“Elder Xu, I think your suggestion is not bad. Do you just need me to do something?”
However, Qin Feng did not directly agree. He did not know the real reason why Elder Xu had called him here. It can’t be as simple as accepting disciples, right? Could it be that this old man wasn’t interested in Zi You Yan at all?
Elder Xu saw through Qin Feng’s thoughts and smiled, “Haha! Since you are willing to take me as your master, there is no need for us to be polite … Are you worried that I will pry into your Purple Nether Flame? Don’t worry about that.”
“But I have to say, Zi You Yan is Empyrean Mainland’s fifth ranked Heavenly Flame. Since you used it in the Pill Gathering exam, you are simply causing trouble for yourself.”
Qin Feng listened attentively to Elder Xu’s education.
At that time, he did not know how powerful the Purple Nether Flame was, otherwise, he would not have used this heaven-defying Heaven-defying Heavenly Flame even if he had been beaten to death. However, seeing that Elder Xu really didn’t have any thoughts towards Zi You Yan, Qin Feng was somewhat surprised. That was the Heaven and Earth Heavenly Flame that an alchemist dreamed of.
“Master, what should I do now?” Qin Feng had already changed his tone.
Elder Xu nodded his head in satisfaction. His expression didn’t seem to be that worried. “Although you displayed the Purple Hidden Flame in the Pill Refining Pavilion, fortunately, there weren’t many people who dared to go against me, Square Building. At least they didn’t dare to do so on the surface.”
Qin Feng asked in surprise, “Master, wouldn’t those people tell us about the Purple Nether Flame?”
Zhuo Xiaoyue also had a puzzled expression on her face. Obviously, she had the same thoughts as Qin Feng.
Elder Xu stroked his beard and smiled, “Don’t worry about that. Those people won’t talk nonsense. The value of the Purple Nether Flame far exceeds your imagination. Once this news gets out, the entire Empyrean Mainland will be in turmoil. And if those disciples expose the news, they will definitely attract a calamity …”
“Furthermore, it’s not that easy to obtain the Purple Nether Flame. The disciples who have seen you in the Pill Refining Pavilion this time are far too weak. They would rather not know about this at this moment …”
After Elder Xu explained, Qin Feng and Zhuo Xiaoyue understood.
This Purple Nether Flame could be compared to an ancient martial ruin that was rich in resources, and those who learned about the ancient martial ruins would definitely not reveal it to others easily, otherwise, they would also be in danger. Moreover, because there are too many people who know of the ancient martial ruins, some of the juniors who know themselves will definitely withdraw voluntarily …
As a result, only the disciples of the big sects remained who dared to pry into Qin Feng’s Purple Nether Flame.
The first thing Qin Feng thought of was the other three of the Four Great Pill Workshops. These three great sects were all five-star sects, and they were very powerful. Naturally, they would not let go of the opportunity to compete for the Purple Nether Flame. As for the four-star sects of the Myriad Stalks Sect, the Flower Valley Sect, and the Sacred Medicine Sect, they might also secretly do something.
However, Qin Feng was no longer so worried. He understood why Elder Xu had called him here. This was to intimidate those people from the side.
“Thank you for your good intentions, Master.” Qin Feng cupped his hands and said.
Elder Xu nodded with a smile. He admired Qin Feng’s perception very much, “Since I accepted you as my disciple, I naturally wouldn’t let you fall into such a tragic situation … I think that’s good. Since you’ve already come to my place, treat it as if you’ve already given me the Purple Nether Flame.”
Qin Feng and Zhuo Xiaoyue were shocked. They didn’t expect Elder Xu to be so generous.
“Master, isn’t this implicating you?” Qin Feng hurriedly refused.
Elder Xu casually waved his hand and said, “It will be a bit troublesome, but it’s not to the point of getting involved. If I get the Purple Nether Flame, I believe many people will give up the idea of fighting.”
Under Elder Xu’s insistence, Qin Feng could only agree.
Right now, the Purple Nether Flame was still on Qin Feng’s body. However, Elder Xu would release some gossip that the Purple Nether Flame had fallen into his hands.
After bypassing the topic of Purple Nether Flame, Elder Xu chatted to Qin Feng. The more he knew about Qin Feng, the more he liked this disciple, even more than he liked Xu Baizhen.
“Elder Xu, there’s something I have to mention. I might go to Los Angeles in a while, and I won’t stay in Square Building in the future. Because I have a lot of wives and friends that I need to protect, I have to keep looking for opportunities to break through.”
At the end of the conversation, Qin Feng got down to business.
Zhuo Xiaoyue’s eyes suddenly dimmed. She realized that Qin Feng was going to leave again.
Elder Xu’s expression changed drastically. He really didn’t expect Qin Feng to leave Square Building. This meant that he had to leave Square Building’s umbrella.
“Qin Feng, you have to think carefully. This is a special time. If you leave Pill City, Square Building won’t be able to protect you.” Elder Xu analyzed the gravity of the situation.
Of course Qin Feng knew this, but he had no choice but to leave Pill City.
Not to mention that he had learned that Li Shanshan had entered Empyrean Mainland, even Los Angeles Holy Medicine Hall needed him to return immediately to deal with the relocation. Not long ago, Qin Feng had mentioned Luo City in public in the Pill Assembly Hall. He believed that many cultivators had already rushed to Luo City.
Actually, Qin Feng deliberately mentioned Luo City because he intended to leave that place. After all, that place was too small, and with the Danbao Pavilion branch there, Qin Feng’s identity would be exposed sooner or later.
When they left, Elder Xu reluctantly sent them off personally. Seeing that Qin Feng’s intentions had been decided, he did not force Qin Feng to stay.
Elder Xu had given Qin Feng quite a few pills, all of which were Grade Seven King Pills, causing Zhuo Xiaoyue’s eyes to shine. Qin Feng did not hold back and put away all the pills. Right now, he doesn’t have any treasures that can repay Old Xu’s kindness. However, he remembers this kindness in his heart. In the future, he will definitely repay it tenfold …
