Qin Feng did not accept any of their invitations.
He had already dragged Zhuo Xiaoyue to a corner of the hall to rest.
"Young Hero Qin, those people don't seem to have good intentions," Zhuo Xiaoyue hurriedly reminded Qin Feng when she saw that there were fewer people.
Qin Feng smiled. "Don't worry, Big Sister Yue. I already knew that those people were here for my Purple Flame. If I go back with them, I'll be swallowed whole … "
Zhuo Xiaoyue's expression changed drastically. She said anxiously, "Ah? Then, then what should we do? Let's leave this place quickly. "
Qin Feng hugged Zhuo Xiaoyue's shoulders and patted her comfortingly. "Big Sister Yue, don't be anxious. If we leave the Elixir Association now, we'll be captured immediately. On the other hand, these people don't dare to make a move in the Elixir Association. "
After some analysis, Zhuo Xiaoyue suddenly understood. She glanced at Qin Feng. She did not expect Qin Feng to be more intelligent than her at such a young age.
Just as Qin Feng had guessed, the thousands of people in the hall were secretly watching his every move. Qin Feng hugged Zhuo Xiaoyue and rested on the stone chair as if nothing had happened.
Time ticked by.
The alchemist assessment was coming to an end. However, the disciples who had finished the assessment had no intention of leaving. They gathered in the hall and pretended to chat.
At this moment, the last batch of disciples who had finished the assessment walked out of the Elixir Pavilion.
Elder Xu and the other three assessment judges also came out.
When Elder Xu came out, his expression changed slightly. He only needed to glance at the crowd that had not left to guess what had happened.
Wherever Elder Xu went, the crowd would immediately open up a golden path for him. His footsteps were steady, and he finally stopped in front of Qin Feng.
"Young Hero Qin, you haven't left yet … On behalf of the Square Tower, I invite you and your wife to be our guests. Do you have time, Young Hero Qin?"
The crowd exclaimed. They did not expect a great senior like Elder Xu to take the initiative to invite Qin Feng.
Qin Feng had been waiting for Elder Xu. He could tell that this old man was full of righteousness. Even though he had seen his Purple Flame in the Alchemy Pavilion, he had only been shocked and surprised. His eyes did not have the greedy gleam that other people had.
"Elder Xu, you're too serious. This junior has been waiting for you here!"
Elder Xu nodded, and his admiration for Qin Feng grew.
Qin Feng was only in his early twenties, but he was very shrewd. He understood the situation and knew how to break out of it. He was a rare genius.
Under Elder Xu's lead, the two of them left the Elixir Association.
The group immediately followed him out of the door, but no one dared to follow him. Doing so would be challenging the authority of Elder Xu and the Square Tower.
Ten minutes later.
The three of them came to a majestic-looking three-story building. This was one of the pill shops of the Square Tower in Pill City. As for why Elder Xu didn't go straight to the main pill store of the Square Tower, Qin Feng was a little puzzled.
As they sat in a small tea room on the third floor, Elder Xu didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "Qin Feng, your pill refining skills have truly amazed me. Those four Consciousness Accumulation Pills are all high-grade pills, and they can be produced in half an hour. Even I admit that I can't do that … "
"In the path of alchemy, it is difficult to achieve great things just by relying on one's own comprehension. For you to be able to reach this level at such a young age, you must have had the guidance of a famous teacher, right? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I know him. "
Elder Xu had asked Qin Feng about it in the Elixir Association's Pill Refining Pavilion. At that time, Qin Feng had said that he didn't have a master to guide him. Clearly, Elder Xu didn't believe him.
However, Qin Feng really didn't have a master to guide him. "Elder Xu, I won't hide it from you. I am a self-taught person."
Elder Xu was stunned and looked at Qin Feng in surprise.
He thought to himself, Since Qin Feng came back with me, why lie? However, Elder Xu's expression quickly changed. He realized another possibility. Could it be that Qin Feng really didn't have a master to guide him?
"If that's the case, are you willing to be my disciple?" Elder Xu's eyes suddenly burned with passion. Qin Feng's pill refining skills and talent far surpassed that of his beloved disciple, Xu Baizhen.
This time, it was Qin Feng's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect Elder Xu to bring up this matter.
Zhuo Xiaoyue was so shocked that she jumped up. That was Elder Xu, one of the main alchemy masters of the Square Tower. He was famous throughout the Northern Sand Region. If Qin Feng could become his disciple, he would have half a foot in the martial arts circle of the Northern Sand Region.
"Young Hero Qin, Elder Xu is an upright person and is respected by many of us juniors. Why don't you take him as your master?"
Zhuo Xiaoyue immediately tried to persuade Qin Feng. Not long ago, Lu Yunqing from the Treasure Pill Tower had tried to recruit him, but he had rejected him. Zhuo Xiaoyue was afraid that Qin Feng would reject Elder Xu as well.
Qin Feng had rejected Lu Yunqing because he didn't like the Treasure Pill Tower or Lu Yunqing. However, Qin Feng had high hopes for Elder Xu's character. Even so, he was only seeking protection from Elder Xu. As for their pill refining skills, Qin Feng felt that he was on par with Elder Xu.
"Elder Xu, I think your suggestion is not bad. But what do you need me to do? "
Qin Feng didn't agree immediately. He still didn't know the real reason why Elder Xu had called him here. It couldn't be as simple as taking him as a disciple, right? Could it be that this old man wasn't interested in the Purple Flame at all?
Elder Xu could tell what Qin Feng was thinking. He laughed. "Haha! Since you're willing to take me as your master, there's no need for formalities … Are you worried that I'll spy on your Purple Flame? Don't worry about it.
"However, I have to say something about you. The Purple Serene Flame is ranked fifth on the Divine Continent. You're simply looking for trouble by using it in the Pill Gathering's assessment."
Qin Feng listened attentively to Elder Xu's lecture.
He didn't know how powerful the Purple Flame was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have displayed such a heaven-defying Heavenly Flame. However, Qin Feng was surprised to see that Elder Xu wasn't interested in the Purple Flame. It was a Heavenly Flame that alchemists yearned for.
"Master, what should I do now?" Qin Feng changed the way he addressed Elder Xu.
Elder Xu nodded his head in satisfaction. He didn't look as worried as before. "Although you displayed the Purple Flame in the Elixir Refining Pavilion, there weren't many people participating in the assessment. None of them dared to go against the Square Tower, at least not on the surface. "
Qin Feng was surprised. "Master, won't those people leak the information about the Purple Flame?"
Zhuo Xiaoyue was also confused. She had the same thought as Qin Feng.
Elder Xu stroked his beard and smiled. "You don't have to worry about that. Those people won't leak the information. The value of the Purple Flame is beyond your imagination. The entire Divine Continent will be shaken if news of it gets out. On the other hand, if those disciples were to be exposed, it would definitely draw a calamity upon them ….
"Moreover, it's not easy to obtain the Purple Flame. The disciples who witnessed the Purple Flame in the Elixir Refining Pavilion are too weak. They'd rather not know about it … "
Qin Feng and Zhuo Xiaoyue understood after Elder Xu's explanation.
The Purple Flame could be compared to a resource-rich Ancient Martial Relic. Those who knew about the Ancient Martial Relic would definitely not leak the information to others. Otherwise, they would be in danger. Moreover, there were too many people who knew about the Ancient Martial Relic. Those who knew about the Ancient Martial Relic would definitely back out …
Therefore, the only people who dared to spy on Qin Feng's Purple Flame were the disciples from the big sects.
Qin Feng first thought of the other three elixir workshops. They were all five-star sects with great strength. Naturally, they would not let go of the opportunity to fight for the Purple Flame. As for the four-star sects like the Myriad Strains Sect, Flower Valley, and the Saint Panacea Sect, they might do something behind the scenes.
However, Qin Feng was no longer worried. He understood why Elder Xu called him here. It was to intimidate those people.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Master." Qin Feng cupped his hands and said.
Elder Xu nodded with a smile. He admired Qin Feng's intelligence. "Since I've accepted you as my disciple, I won't let you fall into the abyss of suffering … How about this? Since you're here, just treat it as if you've given me the Purple Flame."
Qin Feng and Zhuo Xiaoyue were shocked. They did not expect Elder Xu to be so generous.
"Master, won't I be dragging you down?" Qin Feng quickly refused.
Elder Xu waved his hand carelessly. "It will be troublesome, but it's not to the extent of dragging you down. If I'm the one who obtained the Purple Flame, I believe many people will give up on the idea of fighting for it. "
Under Elder Xu's insistence, Qin Feng had no choice but to agree.
The Purple Flame was still with Qin Feng. However, Elder Xu would spread the news that the Purple Flame had fallen into his hands.
After avoiding the topic of the Purple Flame, Elder Xu changed the topic to Qin Feng. The more he knew about Qin Feng, the more he liked this disciple. He even liked him more than he liked Xu Baizhen.
"Elder Xu, there's something I have to mention. I might be going to Luoyang City soon, and I won't be staying in Square Tower anymore. I have many wives and friends that I need to protect. I have to keep looking for opportunities to break through. "
Qin Feng got down to business at the end of the conversation.
Zhuo Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly dimmed. She realized that Qin Feng was going to leave again.
Elder Xu's expression changed. He did not expect Qin Feng to leave Square Tower. This meant that he was going to leave Square Tower.
"Qin Feng, you have to think this through. This is a special time. If you leave Pill City, Square Tower will not be able to protect you." Elder Xu analyzed the severity of the situation.
Of course, Qin Feng knew this. However, he had to leave Pill City.
Not only did he know that Li Shanshan had entered the Divine Mainland, but he also needed to go back to Luoyang City to deal with the relocation of Saint Medic Hall. Not long ago, Qin Feng had mentioned Luoyang City in front of everyone at the Elixir Association Hall. He believed that many cultivators would be heading there by now.
Actually, Qin Feng had mentioned Luoyang City on purpose because he wanted to leave that place. That place was too small, and there was a branch of Precious Elixir Tower there. Qin Feng's identity would be exposed sooner or later.
When they parted, Elder Xu sent him off reluctantly. Seeing that Qin Feng had made up his mind, he did not force him to stay.
Elder Xu gave Qin Feng many elixirs. They were all grade-seven Imperial Pills. Zhuo Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she saw them. Qin Feng did not beat around the bush and kept all the elixirs. He did not have any treasures that could repay Elder Xu's kindness. However, he would remember this favor and repay it tenfold in the future …
