Chapter 145: The Best Soldier Strikes the Wise

Immortal Cloud City, in the courtyard purchased by the Zeng family.

Zeng Jingan came before a middle-aged man and whispered, “Eldest Uncle, that Chen Fei didn’t agree to sell the Origin Awakening Pill. He simply doesn’t know what’s good for him.”

“We found out about this a little late, so we were more or less passive.”

Zeng Guanwen shook his head slightly. “Who would have thought that there would be such a master of alchemy in the sect.”

“I heard from the servants that Chen Fei left the inn and went to the Alchemist

Alliance. If he hides in the Alliance and doesn’t come out, it will be very difficult for us to do anything to him.”

Zeng Jingan started to walk around somewhat irritably. Origin Awakening Pills were quite precious, and the quantity that flowed out had always been very small. Now that he had finally found one, and it was obtained by a disciple of the Primodial Sword Sect, such an opportunity was even more rare.

“Now, we’re not the only ones keeping an eye on him. He is at the Marrow Tempering realm. If he didn’t have other helpers, it would be difficult for him to hold on to this pill.” Zeng Guanwen smiled.

“I’m just afraid that when the time comes, the Origin Awakening Pill will be obtained by others!”Zeng Jingan frowned.

“Not good, not good. Chen Fei issued a mission in the Alchemist Alliance and sent a message to Feng Xiupu.”

Suddenly, a guard ran in and said to Zeng Guanwen.

The expressions of Zeng Guanwen and the other two changed slightly. When they saw Chen Fei enter the Alchemist Alliance, they thought that he wanted to obtain protection. They did not expect Chen Fei to directly issue a mission.

“Looks like he discovered that his information was intercepted, so he might as well let the Alchemist Alliance help him pass it on. What a cunning kid!”

Zeng Guanwen frowned. He was able to remain calm because the Origin Awakening Pill had not yet reached Chen Fei’s hands. Moreover, the information that Chen Fei had sent had actually been intercepted by all parties.

When the Origin Awakening Pill was distributed tomorrow, all parties would work together to force Chen Fei to make a choice.

He was only at the Marrow Tempering realm, and although it was the Immortal Cloud City, it did not mean that it was absolutely safe. It was normal for something to happen occasionally.

But if Feng Xiupu came to Immortal Cloud City, it would be a big problem.

Although he was only in the Visceral Tempering realm, he was definitely stronger than an ordinary Visceral Tempering realm cultivator. Even if a few ordinary Visceral Tempering realm cultivators attacked together, they would not be able to deal with a single strike from Feng Xiupu.

“Uncle, should we send someone to stop the person who accepted the mission?” Zeng Jingan said.

“The news can’t be stopped. The Alchemist Alliance has its own channels to spread the news, and there was no need for people to go there personally.” Zeng Guanwen shook his head.

Even if he could intercept it, Zeng Guanwen would not have such thoughts. Dealing with Chen Fei and dealing with the Alchemist Alliance were completely different concepts.

Probably no one would do such a thing for the sake of an Origin Awakening Pill.

A few hundred years ago, the Alchemist Alliance was just a place where a group of alchemists joined a group to get some warmth. Now, it had become a colossus and had a huge connection with the surrounding sects.

If it wasn’t for this, why would Wei Xingshan not manage the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Pill Peak, and why would he go to the Alchemist Alliance to be the Alliance Master and even spend so much effort to develop the alliance?

“Then can we ask the sect to assign a mission to Feng Xiupu and transfer him away for a few days?” Zeng Jingan asked.

“It might have been possible in the past, but with your father’s injury, our Zeng Family’s influence in the sect has weakened. Without a suitable reason, we can’t mobilize an expert like Feng Xiupu.”

Zeng Guanwen thought for a moment and finally shook his head. Things were different now, and the Zeng Family was in a declining state, which was why they cared so much about this Origin Awakening Pill.

This was because it was very likely that this pill would allow the Zeng family to return to its former glory and not fall into decline like it was now.

“Then what should we do?”

Zeng Jingan knew Feng Xiupu. If Feng Xiupu came to the Immortal Cloud City, most likely, everyone who was eyeing this Origin Awakening Pill would restrain themselves.

Otherwise, without a certain number of Visceral Tempering Realm experts surrounding them, they really wouldn’t be able to take down Feng Xiupu. Moreover, they would have to be prepared for Feng Xiupu to kill a few people.

Zeng Guanwen did not answer. He frowned and thought of various ways.

“That Chen Fei didn’t take out the Origin Awakening Pill because he wanted to give it to Feng Xiupu, right?” Zeng Jingan suddenly said.

Zeng Guanwen was stunned and then nodded. The probability was very high. Because of his injuries, Feng Xiupu’s cultivation level dropped. If he consumed the Origin Awakening Pill, there was a high chance that he could recover from his injuries and return to the Aperture Tempering realm.

An Aperture Tempering realm cultivator could protect a family for hundreds of years. Feng Xiupu was alone, and reaching the aperture tempering state was naturally beneficial to his disciples.

Zeng Guanwen suddenly envied Feng Xiupu’s good luck. According to the information he had received, Chen Fei had only been Feng Xiupu’s disciple for a few months.

In just a few months, Chen Fei was actually willing to give the Origin Awakening Pill to Feng Xiupu. What kind of luck did he have to be able to receive such a disciple?

Zeng Guanwen had also taken in many disciples, but he knew that he was still in trouble. There was nothing else he could help with.

This situation was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Use the Lightning Bird to send a message to the people in the clan. Tell them to look for Feng Xiupu. Tell them that I’m at Luya Mountain and that 1 need his help. If things go well. I will give him the Divine Refinement Chant” Zeng Guanwen said in a serious voice.

“Divine Refinement Chant? Feng Xiupu’s cultivation level didn’t seem to be able to use this technique.” Zeng Jingan asked in confusion.

The Divine Refinement Chant was a cultivation technique passed down by the Zeng family. Even the Primordial Sword Sect didn’t have it.

The Primordial Sword Sect didn’t force the people in the sect to hand over their cultivation techniques to the sect. Of course, if you were willing to hand them over, you would be rewarded.

When cultivated to a high level, the Divine Refinement Chant could stimulate the core soul energy in one fell swoop and nourish the inner strength. Using spirit to supplement strength, increasing the cultivation speed of Body Tempering realm martial artists.

The stronger the spirit, the faster the cultivation speed. Moreover, because he often stimulated his mental strength, it had a certain tempering effect on his mental strength. It could be considered an extremely good martial arts secret manual.

However, the effect of the Divine Refinement Chant would be reduced when one reached the Visceral Tempering realm. It would have no effect on those above the Visceral Tempering realm. With Feng Xiupu’s current cultivation, the Divine Refinement Chant wouldn’t be of any help at all.

“It’s probably for his disciple.”

Zeng Guanwen sighed slightly, looked at Zeng Jingan, and said in a deep voice, “If I lure Feng Xiupu away, then how we obtain the Origin Awakening Pill will depend on you.”

“This Origin Awakening Pill can’t escape from my grasp!”

Zeng Jingan said loudly, his eyes flashing with a cold light. At that time, if Chen Fei still didn’t know what was good for him, then he couldn’t blame him for using some tricks.

An hour later, Feng Xiupu appeared in Luya Mountain and saw Zeng Guanwen.

“What do you want?” Feng Xiupu asked directly.

“I found a demon beast nest. There should be Flying Feather Grass inside. When the time comes, you and I will work together to kill the demon beast. If it’s done, I’ll give you the Divine Refinement Chant you want.” Zeng Guanwen looked at Feng Xiupu and smiled.

“1 need to pass on the Divine Refinement Chant to my disciples. Your Zeng family can’t restrict it,” Feng Xiupu said in a deep voice.

“That’s only natural, so 1 can only give you 20% of the demon beast harvest and Flying Feather Grass.”

Zeng Guanwen sighed in his heart. As a master, he should devote himself to finding a suitable cultivation method for his disciple. When the disciple had the opportunity, he would immediately repay the master.

To be honest, Zeng Guanwen was a little envious of this kind of feeling. Unfortunately, he could not do it himself.

“Alright, lead the way.” Feng Xiupu felt that Zeng Jingan’s gaze was a little strange, but he didn’t take it to heart.

“The demon beast nest is over there.”

Zeng Guanwen pointed in a direction and disappeared.

This demon beast nest was not fabricated by Zeng Guanwen. It was discovered by the Zeng family members. He had wanted to find an opportunity to lead his men to encircle and annihilate them, but he had not taken action for a long time.

Now that it was just right, he could use it.

Two days were necessary to surround and kill the demon beasts, from the investigation to the final action. And tomorrow, if there were no other accidents, it would be the end of the Alchemist Alliance’s mission.

Zeng Guanwen hoped that Zeng Jingan could be more hardworking. No matter what method he used, as long as he didn’t leave any evidence, even if he killed Chen Fei, it would be fine.

Even if he was suspected of getting the Origin Awakening pill and the Zeng family regained the battle strength of the aperture tempering state, he could find a way to suppress all of this.

Immortal Cloud City, Alchemist Alliance.

Chen Fei spent 100 Contribution Points to get the Alchemist Alliance to help pass on the news. Chen Fei did not go anywhere else and stayed in the Alliance, waiting for feedback.

Chen Fei strolled along the way and listened to the other alchemists discussing alchemy techniques. He had a small harvest. Qin Jinglan silently followed behind Chen Fei. Looking at Chen Fei’s broad back, a silly smile appeared on her face from time to time.

“Feng Xiupu isn’t in the sect at the moment, so your message hasn’t arrived. It might take two days.”

After strolling for a long time, Chen Fei walked around the Alliance Residence and opened his eyes. Just as he returned to the counter, someone reported Chen Fei’s mission status.

“Not in the sect?”

Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. His first reaction was that Feng Xiupu might have been lured away by someone else and was deliberately preventing Feng Xiupu from coming to the Immortal Cloud City.

“This world doesn’t have any means of real-time communication. It’s too difficult to find someone.”

Chen Fei cursed in his heart. He had no idea where Feng Xiupu had gone.

“Does the Alliance provide accommodation?” Chen Fei’s heart suddenly moved as he looked at Qin Jinglan.

“Yes, but if you want to live in the Alliance, you have to spend contribution points every day.”

Although Qin Jinglan was a little puzzled by Chen Fei’s question, she still nodded.

In the Alliance Residence, there were actually quite a number of rooms. Many pill refiners would stay in the Alliance Residence when they were in the mood for research.

There were also many pill refiners who were reclusive and could not communicate with others. They could only have common topics with other pill refiners and might as well live in the alliance.

Many of them were hiding from their enemies.

The Alchemist Alliance provided protection, but that was only after the matter was settled. It was only after something happened to you that the Alliance would help you. At that time, you might be dead. Some pill refiners simply hid in the Alliance and didn’t go anywhere.

In the Alliance, as long as one had enough contribution points, they could provide most of the things. There was no problem at all.

“How many contribution points do I need per day?” Chen Fei asked.

“Normal rooms cost 10 contribution points per day,” Qin Jinglan recalled for a moment and said.

Chen Fei’s eyes lit up slightly. He could totally afford this price. He still had more than 1,000 contribution points left from the pill formula he sold last time.. How long could he stay there for?
